Sorry to hear that. Hope that will not effect your I-485 application processing.
For me, I have not seen any status change to my 140. After a series of LUDs to both 485 and 140 at last today I see my 485 status has changed. It says RFE sent. Good that I have not received any NOID or Denial. This is the best case scenario that I was hoping for. I have yet to receive the RFE to see the actual cause. But hoping this is due to 140 withdrawal. I thank the IO who is working on my case as he/she is quite knowledgeable and issued a RFE not NOID or denial.
So people please keep sending letters.
Folks,
I sent the letters and also invoked the AC21 through a lawyer a month ago. However, inspite of all this, I see a new update for my 140 petition today -
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Withdrawal Acknowledgment Notice Sent
On November 5, 2008, we mailed a notice acknowledging withdrawal of this application or petition I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of November 5, 2008, contact our customer service at 1-800-375-5283. If at some point in the future you wish to pursue the benefits provided by this application or petition, you must file a new application along with all applicable fees and evidence.
I am not sure if this means that my 485 will be denied shortly...

I always thought, the system was fair, it was only the overwhelming numbers of immigrants from certain countries that made it look unfair....but the closer I get to the stage where DOS decisions start impacting me, the more I realize that the system is not fair at all. The game of visa numbers and allocations is driven by white house politics alone...DOS being the spokesperson for the politics. Essentially the white house is directly throttling immigration through the DOS...on its own whims and fancy.
So, what made you import yourself here? You could have stayed back in your own country..by the way, coming on a H4 was a choice..it wasn't forced upon you...didn't you know before coming here that you would have to stay home on a H4? H4->F1, H4->H1...all these options are always open to you..
Do you respect others feelings here...
We are all here for some justice-no arguments-no offense
what r u...
Mind your langauage-Did u face any serious problems from some H4-
before you try to supress some ones feelings change your attitude-

I am twice bitten... by photos at Walgreens
Don't even think. I took PP for passport renewal. VEry bad quality.
Still I went to Walagreens and took PP for visit visa to Canada. Rejected by Canadian Consulate in Seattle. Don't waste your time and money.
In Denver / Aurora - there is H-Mart (or HAR Mart). I am also thinking of going to Costco. 6 photos for above age 14 ; else 4. That is what my attorney asked.
Costco! Way to go, cheaper, better and perfect!
Among friends we say, "In costco we trust!"

They should have your info unless consulate hasn't sent it. they use your passport number as reference. so call again if they didn't use your passport number to search. in any case ping the consulate again.
Thanks Bpositive. Actually this time I asked my friend in US to call DOS, and he used the computerized answering system with my petition number and they did say that my H1-B petition has been approved. I don't know if I mispronounced/mistyped anything when I did it last week, but at least now I'm sure that it is on DOS' system. Thats the same thing I heard when I called KCC, that my petition was approved in April 2007. Or maybe I should've asked them if they've access to PIMS. It's frustrating man, I never thought at this stage of career, entry-level that is, I will be stalled by things like this. Well I hope in the end I can find a rational explanation to why things turned out the way they did.
For the new folks in the forum, its been 75 days and am still waiting for my H1 visa. I guess I should also talk to that Mexican Emabassy and see if my case shows up on the PIMS or not. The only problem with New Delhi embassy is that when I call them, all they say is that the case is still pending, and nothing else. I don't even know if I should curse them for being incompetent, or maybe that is all their job entails (I'm not being condescending here). Is it advisable for me to go to New Delhi personally? This is a mess, but as long as its in God's design, I'm ok with it. I just don't wanna feel later that if I had done this ... blah blah, then I could've expedited the whole stuff. That'd be a bummer. Well at least I need to be focussed and keep my head straight. That I can control, and thats what I'm taking solace in.

Question is that there are so many July 2 filers (including me) who have not got any response yet. Therefore, it is not an isolated case. I don't know if emailing to the Director does any good, as long as USCIS keeps admitting that they have not yet sent all receipts (inspite of weekly bulletins). Until 90 days are over, I guess, USCIS will be unresponsive to individual inquiries.

I cannot believe you are saying this. Are you actually saying that you will let stuff like this happen just because you think your company might get rid of you if you complain? If your wife or daughter has a boss who is flashing her everyday, will you actually tell your wife or daughter to 'suck it up' and put up with it just because you fear she may not get a reference??
Laws are designed to prevent this exact kind of thing. I personally would, to quote a Hindi movie dialog, take a sledge-hammer and change the geography of the abuser's face. On a more practical note, I would lawyer up, collect evidence, spin up a multi-million dollar lawsuit, and use settlement money to sip MaiTai on some beach in Lanai, while the harasser gets to suck on cock-meat sandwiches in the nearest penitentiary.
Sense of guilt... the guy who is breaking the law should have that. Not the victim who wants a reference. C'mon grow a penis!
Not sure if it is a desi mentality, but I have seen people from my own community who always advise to "suck it up", "take life as it comes" "Look at it from their POV" "It is not their fault it is your fault" "You always look at things in a negative way" "You are not capable of handling the situation" "If you are very good at work such things won't happen to you" "No one talks about these things except you" .......... and it goes on. When something really wrong happens to you - instead of standingby you, people rather say "See did I not warn you???"
This is how things are - very few people are bold and stand up and thats why you always see the victim getting politicized by the society.

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."

Dr. Martin recommends that:
1.Policies must be flexible enough to respond to changing market conditions;
2.Visa categories, which have become so complicated they often require professional assistance to navigate, should be simplified;
3.The government apparatus for managing applications should be better funded and more efficient;
4.Requirements for workers and employers should be reasonable and consistent with the way the labor market functions (so for jobs that are not temporary, workers should be given an option to transition to permanent status);
5.Workers should have mobility among jobs and employers; and
6.Employment of unauthorized migrants must be curtailed.

you guys might want to talk to your attorneys. Most of the time attorneys ping with their contact in service centers and get some answers if it is still not receipted.
Most of them have an email id whom they contact and find out normally. I am not sure if service centers are responsive if there are huge amounts of data entry still going on.

Thank you for the initiative IV core, now it is upto this community to take up the suggested action items and make it a HUGE success!
I am excited about these suggested administrative fixes:
1. Filing for AOS without PD being current... the inability to do so is the bane of our life!
2. EAD's effective for three years
3. Same job description=> Similar job description... this will allow us to take promotions and transfers easily... something to highlight to our employers
Everyone, let's make this a grand success!

The corporation can always say they have a policy to not hire someone with temporary work permit and there is no law against it. It is sad but that's how it is.
I don't think so. EAD is a valid form of employment, just like a Greed Card. If it is not then why certain employers hire u on EAB and why crtain do not?
It is just a matter of filtering out by claiming policy.
Most times, the hiring manager never gets into these things. Hiring manager is more concerned about skills and about how a peron fits the job best, but then in big corporations a lot of nepotism works (which is a different topic altogether and we can discuss nepotism in a different thread). It is the matter of how resumes are presented to the hiring manager and how the manager can be influenced prior to submitting the resume.
If a reqruiter or a HR starts fussing about ur resume and goes back and forth about EAD etc.... ur resume is never even going to the hiring manager no matter how much you convince.
In one instance, when I applied for a job, the reqruiting agency did all the initial crap discussion about skills, visa status etc..... after 2 days she gets back to me and first question is, "I know you are past 180 days on EAD, but can you tell me when you will get a Green card", I told her "I will get it anaytime and will continue using EAD till then". She said "Oh great". Then after an hour she calls me back "I just noticed on your resume that you have 2 short term projects, we place people in these companies and they stay for years together" , I said "contract projects can be short term/long term and there were personal reasons for me to hop these projects but you are most welcome to talk to the managers who I worked with", she dais "Oh absolutely not a problem". Then after half an hour she calls me "This work location may not be the best for you especially because you have to pay a toll on whitestone bridge, would you want to consider something in Manhattan?" I respond "Toll is fine, please go ahead and submit". Then she responds "Hmmm, ok".
I did figure that she did not want to deal with EAD but she was taking me on a roller coaster going back and forth. she never submitted my resume to tyhe hiring manager.

both cases are with same IO as per infopass. senators enquiry came back saying wait for 45 to 90 days. Processing in the order we received them.

But, woudn't the 75% of 140K quota for next two years be consumed by ROW applicants who are about to apply. Becoz they are current wouldn't the VISA number go to them..
All the above calculations I guess are assuming that the entire 140K will be given the pending 485 application..May be I am missing something.
It is economy. DOL vitually halted PERM approvals. Companies are not sponsering GCs as they used. If you give an Ad today, you will get 10 times resumes. So there is no easy way to get an approval.
