I have used Fragomen in two different situations...
1) Contracted by my employer. This was frustrating from my perspective. I felt a little like an object, mostly dealt with paralegals.
2) Contracted by me. This was much better, I could call the attorneys up anytime, and get an answer when I needed it. Had excellent relationship with paralegals.
These were two different departments.
I do think that I suffered from some less than optimal advice, filed EB3 when EB2 would have been better. That was in 2002 when EB3 EB2 EB1 for all was current. EB2 was a tougher sell to Dept Labor, but I think would have worked, attorney didn't want to risk, and wasn't sure if a downgrade would be offered if EB2 failed.
One thing was consistent.... expensive.
I all but begged them to send out an email to clients referencing DC rally.
I have raised the idea with core of adding a field(s) to profile giving attorneys name/address. If we have a lot of members with Fragomen, maybe we could write a group letter asking them to send out a mass email to other clients.
So please be civil in these public forums.

Great!
Seems like it's the same info as the NSC Updates dated November last year... So it's official that we can file 485 without 140 receipt notice!

I agree. The PD for Oct' Bulletin will probably somewhere in mid-end of 2003 and i don't think it'll ever go back to Current .... So what happens to all the 2006,2007 applications ???
EB3/ PD May 2003
My lawyer says they will, most probably, send all the applications back. However, at this point they are not sure what will happen to all the applications, if they don't send back. He sais we will wait some time for more updates from USCIS.
I think 2006, 2007 applications will also come back. Since people from 2002 and 2003 are still waiting, applicants from 2006 and 2007 can just lay back and relax for a while now!

This is another example where lot of noise made and then nothing happens.
People talk here about filing lawsuit as it it is easy as filing something and on first hearing, judgment will be passed in their favor. Of course, no one even bothers to get initial professional advice.
Soon, we will have some other topic that will have similar discussion and similar fate.
Good Luck to everyone.

Iam sorry to say that i could not navigate to certain forum postings and IV did not communicate that these are not availabe for Non - Donors.... Why this caste system?
"I am not blaming the Core at all, they are doing whateven they can given the limited resources, time and influence they have. But, what I am blaming, is the the "holier than thou" attitude which is adopted when distinguishing between those that are the exalted DONORS and those that aren't "
I am so sorry that IV did not inform you about Donor forum. I will check with IV on why you were not notified earlier. This is clearly unacceptable. IV core should give up their jobs and should start going door to door to inform everyone about IV's goals, strategies and changes to policies.
In the mean time, please go through this:

GCBy3000
07-18 10:11 AM
Some people advise to wait and watch and some people ask to do something else. I would like to say one thing and it is purely my perspective. People who are waiting inline for 8-10years does not know when they will be getting their GC in hand. May be in next four to five years. By that time on average their age will be around 35-45.
Do you want to wait 4-5 years and do the job which you were doing 10years back?
Did you had any vision for your career when you started your GC and life?
Do you have the same vision now for your career and life?
Did you feel you and your family have sacrified enough in your personel life for this stupid GC?
IF YOU SAY I HAVE DECIDED TO GO BACK TO MY HOME COUNTRY:
Do you think you will get a managerial job if you go back to india at the age of 40 when you could see guys @30 doing that job with ease and with better experience?
Do you think becos of 10+years of expereince in programming field, indian companies will recruit you for managerial job?
Are you willing to work in India as a programmer with 10+ years of US exp under a 25-30 year old team lead or PM ?
If you say YES , YES , YES for all the above, do you think any indian company will recruit a programmer at the age of 40? forget about the salary you are going to ask for your exp which they will never accept.
So at the end if you wait long enough for GC, then it is better to wait here until you get it. At least you can save your life though you have to start your career from -10years. If you quit and decide to go back to your homecountry, your life is going to be tough.
Options for guys waiting for 8-10years for LC:
1. Try to get PMI Certification, CISA certificaiton.
2. Try to get TOEFL, GMAT scores and keep it ready.
3. Try to get in contacts with most of your friends and manpower agencies in India.
4. If you file for your 485 in next one or one and half years, then proeceed with MBA plans(parttime or full time or executive MBA) in top 25-30 business school.
5. Your waiting will yeild fruit in this country only with MBA as in next 10 years, US will need more managers than programmers to manager all their outsourced projects.
6. If you do not have such vision and you are happy with what you are doing now and if your job is secured for next 100years and if you feel that you will be happy in future by doing the same job and OK with other kids going up the ladder stepping on you and if you are ok reporting to them and listening to them, getting bashed by them etc etc, you can very well wait for next 100 years hoping to get GC one day.
I am not talking about one guy in one corner living beautiful life.
I am not talking about guys who are lucky on everthing to get on time including GC.
I am talking about majority of the people and general human nature, people who came to US with a vision for their career and life. People who have had and has a spark in their eyes.

I had FREE company attorney but decided to file 485 etc. myself & it was so much better. You can easily do 140-485 etc yourself. Call me & I will tell you.
If at all use an attorney for PERM. In my situation, even that was screwed up & I had to do that myself.
It is high time, all of us capable of handling complex viral equations, do this simple job , spread the knowledge , save $$$ & contribute some savings to IV
Best wishes

Oh Boy!, I feel like hugging you (Jadu ki zappi). By the way my story is very similar to you
Came to USA in 1999 to do MBA from a top US school. Joined a multinational org in 2001, filled my labor in 2002, got laid off in 2005, Filled my another labor in 2005.
But look , I am cool!:)
Frist, sorry for the confusion. I do have a 05/2007 PD at Atlanta PERM center. I came to the country in 1999 for grad school, started working with OPT in 2001, converted to H1 in 2002, laid off in 2002, started working again in 2002 with a new employer, filed labor in 2004 and got stuck in BEC ever since. The employer refused to file PERM, so I had change to a new company in 2006, and had PERM filed in 2007 and got stuck there again. Your are right, I am technically not in BEC, but psychologically I always feel I am in there.
I did not know what was 'disruptive' and 'inappropriate' about what I said. This is a board for BEC victims, so BEC victims are not allowed to express our frustration? I just expressed my depress and my concerns over how much this will retrogress the PD without targeting anyone. When tons of people run in front of our queue and shut us out in cold, we are supposed to 'enjoy the moment' with them? If so, when USCIS said no one can file 485 on July 2nd, why none of the people enjoy the happiness with those who already filed, because that will make their processing time much faster. People said we should feel happy for those who can file, because they now can get EAD/AP for their spouses, as if our spouse do not need EAD/AP. And as a result of this total mess, I don't think we'll have hope in another several years to see the date current.
IV core keeps telling us, BEC is always on their agenda. Really? If they did not even understand our pain and consider our frustration a disruption to people's happiness, how can we expect them to help? I still think IV is a great org, as it's the first such organization to speak out for legal immigrants. But when it comes to BEC victims, I did not see IV changed anything, or intend to change anything.
btw my original ID is still being banned

I am on call with USCIS now. Press 1-2-3-6 and immediately agent would face to you by giving agent ID. Currently I am listening the music. She has just gone somewhere to have answers:mad:
O.K. Her reply:
1) It does not matter what expenses you had to bourne, USCIS is not simply
accepting applications till October 2007.
2) My next Question was: What would be the probability of my PD become current at October 2007, Ans: we can not predict at this time:(
3) Next Q: If my PD does not become current for one year from now then would USCIS consider releasing any help or policy to pay back the medical expense and expense for my travelling back from India?
A: USCIS at this moment can not take any stand on that.:mad:

We have seen in the past years EB3 ROW got huge visa bonanza at the cost of EB2 I & C. And now apparently EB2 I & C is getting rightly deserved visa bonanza.
How about asking DOS to give similar visa numbers to EB3 I & C as a one time exception. I know people will say it is against law, but in my opinion law is fuzzy enough for this to happen.
DOS can give explanations like "Visa numbers will be given to oldest PDs or some thing". Per my calculation EB3 I needs 68K visas to move past 2003.
We (IV) may have to make representation to Secretary of State and try and convince her.
DISCLAIMER:- I am Eb2 and current in Aug.

What you are saying is a high level picture of what the lawmakers think.
Instead of asking reasonable numbers asking for no cap.
True that the tech companies are not comming up with a cap because they believe by saying this, they might be restricted for many years to bring in extra people if they have an opening.
Before dot com bust even lot of US citizens welcomed H1b persons as there was not much layoffs. But past 7 years layoffs increased to outsource to India,China and other countries. For that they have to hire H1b and L1 persons from Countries mainly India. Those things made anti immigrants hardened their stand. US workers fear that they may lose job if US opens up immigration too much.
How did the anti-immigrants get a upper hand on this. They are allowing illegals to get an easy path to citizenship.. this will cause a huge influx of people who will benefit the economy but down the line their children will take up the jobs of the americans.. so why a benefit to illegals.
Now you would say that there are so many companies lobbying for the illegals,
true but why don't they listen to the tech lobbyist who are few in number but asking what is actually,legally, abide rulles ly necessary to increase the economy.
Main reasons for restrictions in legal immigration are
1. Organised compaign by anti immigrants with data. They proved that H1b persons were paid 20% below the market rate. There is no defence from orgainised compaign by pro immigrants. Pro immigrants gave the statement that shortage of skilled workers but they were not able to give supporting data. Newspaper stories are not enough
2. Reaching h1b cap in 2 days gave negative picture instead of positive. Mostly consulting companies rushed to get h1b without valid job positions
3. Instead of asking reasonable numbers Corporations and pro immigrants asked exemptions in H1b numbers and green card numbers. They want to make sure that unlimited numbers so that they can hire or fire anyone.
4. Immigrants are suffering by backlogs and they are expressed by IV and Lawyers. But that is not enough to justify immigration. That should be justified with real need for welfare of country
5. Before dot com bust even lot of US citizens welcomed H1b persons as there was not much layoffs. But past 7 years layoffs increased to outsource to India,China and other countries. For that they have to hire H1b and L1 persons from Countries mainly India. Those things made anti immigrants hardened their stand. US workers fear that they may lose job if US opens up immigration too much.
6. Some Indian consulting companies exploited the situation by just hiring H1bs not even trying to recruit US workers even if they available. But some Indian companies like TCS,Infosys started hiring US workers nowadays because of shortage of H1b.
H1b persons are considered as best skilled persons so Companies can afford to pay 5000 or even 10000$. Infact H1b persons should be paid 20% above US workers as they are considered as better than US workers. That is the reason for raising the fees by two thirds of Senators

I talked to many representatives regarding my I 140 filing from yesterday.
This is what all msot all of them said.
Nebraska center is running behind with their schedule in generating their receipt numbers.
First all the applications go to the mail room. If everything looks fine with the application, the mail room people would send the cheques to be enchased. This normally takes like a day or 2. Then they send the applications to a different department where the clerk needs to put the information in the system and generate the reciept and mail it out. All this process should normally take, 5 to 7 days and Nebraska Center has a turn around time of 15 days.
But Nebraska center is backlogged a bit due to the numerous applications they recieved, till last week for I 140's. And a decision was made yesterday that, the Nebraska Center would catch up generating all the receipts by August 1st. (Thats what the reps told me). So everyone's receipt number who filed their I 140 by July 16th should be available in the system by August 1st(we wud complete the 15 days turn around time too). And if they get mailed out by then, we may recieve in a week or so, by Aug 10th.
So everyone will be good to go. Even if you dont get the receipt, your checks would be enchashed by then which will have a receipt number and you can call the USCIS office to confirm that receipt number (as they will have it in their system by August 1st) and just file by putting the copies of those checks.
Its not our problem that they delay the receipts.
But I hope that everyone will get their receipts by August 10th. So just chill out and relax.
This is what all msot all of them said.
Nebraska center is running behind with their schedule in generating their receipt numbers.
First all the applications go to the mail room. If everything looks fine with the application, the mail room people would send the cheques to be enchased. This normally takes like a day or 2. Then they send the applications to a different department where the clerk needs to put the information in the system and generate the reciept and mail it out. All this process should normally take, 5 to 7 days and Nebraska Center has a turn around time of 15 days.

You guys are doing a good job. My question is.... will 252 contributions / month be enough to support the new initiative??
Guys can each one of us get one more member this month by calling few friends ????????????????????????????????????????
Is there a way we can have access to the tel no. of non contributing members ?????????????????
PCS,
We can try but I have seen that it is not easy. I have tried calling a few friends but it is so hard to convince that the money is only going to help your cause. They will come up with every reason in the book to end the discussion. I am not saying that we should not try but you cannot help someone who doesn’t wants to get helped. We will need something more innovative. I don’t have the answer to what it can be but we have to keep on trying.
