Absolutely ...
Murthy's website doesn't clearly state their stand on this proposal. I hope they oppose it.

What is the likelihood of me filing 485 before Feb'12 and also is there any documentation that I need to have to make my return to US easier. I'll have a valid H1B visa, do I need anything else? Any comments or pointers to where I can find relevant information will be really appreciated. Thank you.
IMO this is not just a revenues source. It is a necessary formality to ensure that our AC21 reaches our file. Today there is no way of guaranteeing that our AC21 letters are filed properly along with our I-485 resulting in unnecessary RFEs and NOID. As long as the fee is nominal, it should be fine.Quote:

With no former process of notifying AC21, the AC21 letter send may not even reach the file.Quote:

FYI,
just noticed that USCIS has officially posted the I485 inventory (May 2011) on their site.
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/usc...00082ca60aRCRD
Earlier we had access to this somewhere in the site but not along with prior inventory.
Trackitt based predictions updated. You can read at
http://www.qesehmk.org/forums/showth...=1716#post1716
In summary - the trend is holding strong. backlog clearance through Aug 2007 is not ruled out.
Q
Can we expect to receive a heads-up from your source this month as well?
Regards
Nat
Of course we will try.

Testing image in a post

Q, OK here is how you may post your image and not have people login to view it.
the task is to "host" the image and obtain a URL for it. There are many "free image hosting" services. One example is tinypic (http://www.tinypic.com/) . These free image hosting sites are usually supported by advertising. Moderate caution is advisable as in any Internet situation where you appear to be getting something for nothing. Once you have the finished image in a file, in one of the standard formats such as .jpg or .png, you go to the free hosting site, upload the image, and the site will give you the address of the place where it's hosted the image. Tinypic is an example of one that helpfully formats the complete "IMG code"--the url surrounded by the two IMG tags--so you can copy and paste it in directly.
For example,
shows the above USCIS image. (There is no space between MG] and http and no space between .jpg and [/ )Quote:
Thanks Q for confirming.Quote:

Hi All,
Before I ask my question I want to say thanks to all the gurus who are contributing to this forum. This is possibly the best forum for EB2 Information.
Thank you guys. You are helping hundreds of people looking for more information about the process.
My question is about the PERM Breakdowns For PD...
I downloaded the PERM data from www.flcdatacenter.com, for the years 2008,2009,2010.
Opened the Data in Excel.
Added filter and then filtered only data for India and China for PERMs which are certified and I found these were number of PERMs Certified...
Financial Year - Certified PERM(China) - Certified PERM(India) - Total
2008 - 1210 - 7198 - 8408
2009 - 1090 - 6403 - 7493
2010 - 1778 - 14872 - 16650
My question is, I don't want to offend anyone by asking this, are there more ways of filing PERM as the data in the flcdatacenter and FACTS and DATA section do not match.
Looking at the data from flcdatacenter, I was under the impression that the priority date might move to 2010 in a year or two as there were fewer PERMS. But I am not sure looking at the data in FACTS and DATA section.
Thanks in advance.
You need to change your search to certified or certified expiredQuote:

Here is the data:

2008 1210 2118 7198 9371 19897
2009 1090 1022 6403 4984 13499
2010 1778 2274 14872 14058 32982
Also, why would the USCIS consider the Expired PERMs as they cannot be used again by the company for any other employee.
Thanks in advance.
haan bhai ..saachi main my labor filed in 2003 was lost in the manual labor backlog reduction centers era before PERM started.All waste. I now have a PD of 3 Oct,2007 EB2-I. Dekhte hain mera number finally kab ayega!!
still 2 weeks before Sep VB comes out...this wait is killing me...sighhh...
How to pass time ??????
Gurus- No more analysis on the '63% increase'. Should it give 'full tension' to guys with PD in FEB-2008 as in PD might not reach that date even in FY2012? Will appreciate any comments..

Q, Spec, V, would it be possible to post a simple algorithm on how go about calculating PERM data. Every newbie wants to know how to do that themselves.
Sorry to hear about that bhai jaan... chodo issi bahane hum dono ek hi mahiney ka PD vaale hue...Quote:

KD has a good point. Can you please post your magic formula where it is not clear?
Also ... I just chcked the FACTS section ... and wondere if some of those threads are redundant.
Personally I do not update any of those threads EXCEPT "TRACKITT BASED PREDICTION". So the rest started by "admin" can be deleted if you have already them covered somewhere. Pls advise.

As has already been said, DOL automatically mark Certifications as Certified Expired after 180 days.
They do not check whether or not an I-140 has been submitted within 180 days or not and there does not appear to be any communication between DOL and USCIS about this.
There are numerous examples from people whose PERM shows as Certified Expired where they have an approved I-140 as a result of it.

You can then import the rest of the records by excluding those from the first import when you import a second time. I eventually just upgraded to Excel 2010 because of the limit of 64k rows in Excel 2003. Having the data in more than one sheet makes things more complicated and leads to the risk of not importing all the data.
Add extra columns as necessary.
The one that is absolutely necessary to work with Priority Dates is the derived Received Date.
Assuming the Case Number is in A2 then the formula =DATE(2000+INT(MID(A2,3,5)/1000),1,MOD(MID(A2,3,5),1000)) gives the Received Date for that Case Number.
Depending on which version of Excel you are using, you may also need to derive the Calendar Month and Calendar Year of the Received Date in additional columns.
I then use a Pivot Table to analyze the data directly. Within the Pivot Table, I first group all Countries that are not China, India, Mexico or Philippines into ROW, so my result match the DOS groupings.
It is then just a case of dragging headings to the relevant areas. Simple ones would be a breakdown of cases by Case Status, or numbers by DOS Grouping. Since you can apply filters, it is very easy to look at a particular Country or groups such as IC or ROW-M-P.
If you haven't discovered Pivot Tables, I recommend them highly. They take a bit of getting used to initially , but there are some good web tutorials. Far better than sorting and counting rows, I assure you!
Some of the Pivot Table tools in Excel 2010 make additional groupings trivial, so I only have to add the Received Date to the original data.
You can make groups by Calendar or Fiscal Year for Received or Adjudication Date - whatever takes your fancy.
I have combined all the PERM data from FY2006 to date into a single large spreadsheet which is currently 121MB in size and has 429,867 rows to make reporting PD numbers over several FY a single step process.
If you have any questions, just ask.
