Spec, It looks great now.. Earlier, for some reason, formula did not copied over properly to other cells and that's what caused the problem.. when i did second time, excel automatically updated the cell values appropriately...
Thanks :)

So I need to find out if the previous company applied for my I140 and it got approved so that I can port that.

That number gives me a Received Date of April 22, 2008.
As discussed in another post, the calculation is not foolproof. It can only be a best attempt.
I think it was kd2008 who told us that the number is generated when the lawyer first enters the case in the system. Some lawyers do this early in the process (perhaps when the PWD is obtained or when the advertising is in progress) and only actually submit the final application at a later date when the application can be completed.
In this case, the generated number will give a date earlier than the actual Received Date.
Possibly this is the case for you.
In general, lawyers don't change their behaviour. At an individual level, the calculation may not work, but overall it is likely that they did the same for other applicants and this should balance out.

Somebody told in previous posts that Certified labor will later become Certified-Expired labor which dose not sound right as per MDB Text data. All perm case numbers are different in Certified and Certified-Expired. The Certified and Certified-Expired data holds unique perm case numbers.
I think the H1 labors do expire after 180 days. Let me research on google. Bottomline is both certified and certified expired are to be counted for analysis for GC labors PERM. Also a certified expired does not mean it was denied or withdrawn.

Uscis did this in July 2007 for GC PERM too, trying to prevent a big bodyshop labor trading loophole, IMHO
nishant, this data are purely green card labor data and don't include H1B labor. If you click the link(http://www.flcdatacenter.com/CasePerm.aspx) you will see following as first line..Quote:

Got it Thanks. This makes total sense, as my case was earlier supposed to be filed in early May, but then got delayed due to internal politics.Quote:

Agree. We both typing same time. See above this post of urs for link to rule info about PERM expiry.

Qesehmk,
Any news from the source about Sep VB?
If no, when can we expect to know something?
Not so good news from The Oh Law firm regarding Sept visa bulletin:
"08/04/2011: History of Visa Cut-Off Dates in Visa Bulletin for the Last Month of a Fiscal Year and Advised Filing of New EB-485 Applications in August During Visa Number Available
Historically, the movement of EB visa cut-off dates tends to be either slow or in the worst situation, even move backward. There is no information available about the exact EB-2 visa numbers available for September 2011, the last month of FY 2011. The two factors may affect this: One is the filter-down numbers from EB-1 and the other is the new demand for EB-2 numbers. Currently the first factor may remain in favor of the EB-2 for the Indians and Chinese, but the pressure for increasing new EB-2 numbers is likely to continue since more and more Indians and Chinese with EB-3 cases have been filing new EB-2 cases to recapture the EB-3 priority date, thereby they can move their EB-2 cases closer to the EB-2 visa cut-off dates. Those whose EB-2 visa number became current in the August 2011 may not want to delay their filing of EB-485 applications when their visa numbers are current in August, "out of precaution." "
This time it's different. They always had luxury of huge inventory remaining previously.
And remaining what they have written, that's kind of generic and a common sense verbiage, and it's the kind of language which earlier CO always used to put in the visa bulletins. I wouldn't be too afraid.

It's just an attorney trying to make quick money off his client's worst fears. 99% of immigrants would just be waiting to become current and file 485 ASAP. This guys might have had clients who have not filed yet.
This specific site, had always been a shady one for me. The two reasons he mentioned are absolute no-brainers, any novice EBIC immigrant would know that.

And even if self-sponsorship is allowed then really how many people will qualify? So overall as somebody said earlier - this looks like just some show-and-tell move by USCIS without much substance.

Total Days----342-----------471-------------648-----------852-----------656-------------1157
Minimum days priority date had moved is 471 if we look at all prior FY (2010,2009,2008,2007,2006) movements.
This FY (2011), priority date had moved 342 days so far.
If I am not wrong we did not get less SOFAD than FY 2010. So as per me this could be a possibility:
471 - 342 = 129 days difference
If I add 129 days to 4/15/2007 (Aug/2011 EB2 India date) than it will come to 8/22/2007.
Bravo! That's what we call facts based discussion. Right .... wrong ... .who agrees or disagree doesn't matter.
Great insight!
P.S. - I think Oct is the start of USCIS FY and Sep is the end of FY. If so please update original post to clarify.
To stress again why I like this is because generally speaking law of regression kicks in and so over time we will see different statistics converge to the averages. Doesnt mean it will happen this year. But helps to understand big picture and most probably course of action.

misunderstanding. I thought cantwaitlonger is saying I/C can be charged to ROW somehow. I think he is saying that ROW can benefit from this, which is true. Veni was also only saying for I/C btw.

Number of days moved in previous years, is a relatively unstable parameter to depend upon. Because the movement is based, at least on two high-level variables, X & & Y. X being the SOFAD and Y being the number of applications in that particular date range.
It's definitely encouraging to see a different perspective. Good Luck!

If number of day’s model is to be approved current then we must have huge BTM in September :). It may remind a lot of us about our college days, the last day before the exam was quite an important day of study when compared with all days in the semester / academic year :).

u said it. engineering days, copying notes, mugging up huge texts on electromagnetics - and I still can't explain how antennas work... sigh

n*5+123, frankly I see no chance of demand data or bulletin this week. On monday 8/8, they would have had just 5 business days into the month, so even that is not a guarantee. What can be said for sure is that it will be out by 8/12 friday, the bulletin, and hopefully the demand data a day before that.Quote:

We should hear by Tuesday or Monday. The bulletin will most likely come out Tue-Fri next week.
