How do we start? Where to start?
Agreed!!! Lets get to the next step.

As many are aware, there was a huge rush to buy and sell pre-approved labors during July-August 2007, when all the priority dates were suddenly made current. Tens of thousands of labors were sold by fraudulent consulting companies to many questionable GC seekers, who hadn�t even started the process till then.
It is those substituted labors which are clogging the pipelines now. Just think, last month EB3-I stood at November 2001. Now it is completely unavailable. It can�t be possibly because so many pending labors with such old priority dates suddenly got cleared this month, and beneficiary of these labors filed 140+485 together. I seriously doubt that a candidate whose labor is pending since such a long time is even keeping that GC process alive. In all likelihood he/she must have moved on in life.
There is only one explanation. These labors were already pre-approved. It is the attached I-140 on these labors that are getting approved rapidly. And the subsequent I-485 petitions on these applications are depleting the visa numbers.
The reason of this post is not to start an argument about the ethics of labor substitution. It is just a FYI post to explain the seemingly inexplicable. The chickens are coming home to roost.
here you go..another..best and brightest.:D

No, I didn't go out of the country for stamping, coz i was under the impression that my visa was Change of Status from L-1 to H-1. Only now, i could find from the immigration lawyer that i don't have a valid I-94. My employer was napping too, all this while.
u never got H1 approval notice with I-94 in it? If yes, then u have been out of status for over 6 months now.

Go to the authorities and report her.
H1 is a temporary situation. Your family is permanent. Protect your family.
Do not let the fear of social services coming to check on you from stopping to do the right thing. They have a job to do; they will not take away a child unless they really believe that the child is not being cared for. They do not want to add to the strain of foster care system which is already under stress.
Law enforcement agencies also monitor sites like IV, Rajiv Khanna etc. And they can get a subpoena against IV to get your information if they suspect that a crime has taken place.
Everyone: please please ... You should not only check for the cleanliness and background of the staff (and facility) who take care of your kid. Also make sure that their way of taking care of your kid meets your expectation. Do not make any assumptions. Ask pointed questions and get certain answers.
Also... I feel that there is more to the story than what the OP has said in his one and only posting.
I think he/she already went past the point to think "what will happen to me" when they hired someone knowing that she was not legally eligible to work/provide that service.
If not them reporting that nanny, her next victim will report her. I strongly believe that, if she is used to that way of raising a kid, she will hit other kids in the future. And they will be exposed at that point when the authorities grill her to spill the beans on her previous employers.
I am also afraid that the OP might take matters into his/her own by making an emotional decision; and that would put him in hot water.
chanduv: I read your post about how you hired a nanny based on your parent's monitoring her behaviour around your kid when they were visiting you. I hope that was not the only criteria for you to choose her. Keep in mind that a person's behaviour when they are alone speaks of their true nature. They can behave nice and good when they have company; but do they continue to be the same when there is no adult around them?
Definitely install a nanny cam that you/yourwife can keep checking from work.
Sorry if I sound like I am picking on you Chandu. But when I read your post, I felt that there might be other families who have done the same thing as you did.

Lets see, she
1. was here illegally
2. was convicted of shoplifting.
3. Drove without a license.
4. Had unpaid driving fines. (Bet she didnt have driving insurance either).
1. documented / undocumented is a matter of immigration status..... no human can be illegal..... an activity can be illegal which makes a person undocumented...... as defined by human law...... but above human law there is another law..... which is defined by an entity more or less we all believe in..... how can a new born child.... a creation of the creator be illegal? delivery of a child is not just a matter of mother.... its a matter of another life being brought into this world..... how can that child be illegal?
2. even felons are not shackled to bed.... unless someone is danger to others..... how can a pregnant woman just about to deliver a child be danger to anyone else.....
3. i lost my wallet few days back.... anyone could lose their wallet sometime or the other ..... it happens..... and during that time we are all driving with a license..... does it mean we all must be shackled to bed when delivering a child......
4. unpaid driving fines?? big deal.... obama had unpaid tickets.... which were paid just before announcing presidential nomination.... majority of the people voted him to become the president..... but according to you..... its ok to shackle someone when delivering a child if that person had unpaid tickets..... nice....
for anti immigrants...... we all r no different than undocumented..... anti immigrants want all immigrants to be thrown out..... period..... u may think that u'r better than undocumented..... & somehow its ok to treat someone inhumanely becoz of their undocumented status.... but the types of that deputy of sheriff joe will not hesitate to do the same to u (if u r a immigrant woman with legal status) ...... or to ur wife (if u r wife is an immigrant woman with legal status)..... they will just make up for the reason .... like resisting arrest..... attacked officer at the time of arrest.... blah blah blah .....so don't pretend that u r any better than that undocumented woman..... becoz u r not........

Thanks for sharing this story with us...we truly appreciate it.
I joined a small company right after graduating from a university in the US with a masters degree. At the time of joining, I was told orally that my GC will be processed in a timely manner. Being naive and timid, I did not press the issue and months became years before the employer agreed to file my labor after work for the company for 5 years (1 year of OPT right after school + 4 years of MS). Although I work in high-tech and would have qualified for RIR, the company lawyer convinced me to apply using the traditional route promising the entire process would take two years. Once again, being naive I agreed. Now, I am on my 8th year with the same company with my labor stuck in BEC, and no relief in sight. I can look forward to years more in the same position and same company! Sadly, though I am highly respected senior member of the company (in terms of knowledge and time with the company), people who joined after me and were trained by me, have gone on to Managerial positions, while I can only sit and watch.
I do not blame anyone or anything for my predicament, except my naivety. At least, I am glad for sources of information such as immigrationvoice, immigrationportal and immigration-law that have helped me immensely with my education on all matters immigration. Now, I feel I know more than my lawyer and cannot be convinced to take foolish decisions. So, it gladdens my heart to see that we in immigrationvoice seem to be having some impact on the lawmakers as it feels like I finally have control over changing my status quo.

We have been fooled so many times in the past with the predictions of the visa allocation being over etc. I would take this with a grain of salt.

Hard to believe as the very same DOS moved EB2 dates "Forward" for September bulletin. So make be some fake.
Anyone had a chance to talk to NSC today? Did they have anything to say?

Since your file is at TSC, there is an email address that AILA members have to request that your file be processed once PD is current. Contact your lawyer and ask him to check AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 08103067, that's where the procedure is outlined.
I asked my lawyer abouT this and she said that in a recent AILA liasion meeting, TSC told AILA that they now have an "automatic sweep" process to determine which applicants have current PDs and therefore this email process is no longer required. Has anyone else heard the same?

I would say if you are getting a good opportunity, do not loose it for the sake of September Visa bulletin. Do not send the AC21 documents to USCIS. If RFE comes, you can respond quickly by hoping that they will approve your case at the same time. In case, if you don't get RFE (chances are more), you might get GC right away.
absolutley true........ AC21 is not mandatory........respond only if RFE is generated....
just my 2 cents

I believe as per the current rules CIS routinely assigns the PD of the substitute labor as the PD of the replacement worker.
What Rajiv Khanna says is very fair, but unfortunately CIS is not run by Khanna. In any case, can you please post the link to the aforementioned blog.
I read on Rajiv Khanna's blog that PD for LC substitution cases should be the date when I-140 is filed for substitute however, there is evidence that USCIS has wrongly assigned orginal priority date of LC filing, to substitute (I have seen this happening in one case at least, where susbstitue got priotity date of LC).

Let me apologize at the outset that the reason I did not get some emails was because of a typo in my email id in the first post. That has been corrected now and just to reiterate, my email is shrey@immigrationvoice.org
As far as the stories go, reading them encourages IV to work even more intensely towards a solution.
I will pe posting a sanitized version of the stories as and when I find time (no personal information will be revealed and I will take utmost care to ensure that the story cannot be traced back to any individual)
If someone does NOT want me to post such a brief version, please PM me and I will happily respect your wishes.
Others who have NOT sent me their stories, please do so.
Personally, though I had an inkling, I had no idea the situation for even brilliant individuals was so shockingly bad. As a core member of IV if I feel this way, I am sure that the lawmakers have absolutely no idea about how highly qualified yet unfairly treated all of us are.
We at IV have achieved quite a lot of success at DC by meeting many many senators and now atleast they are aware that highly-skilled immigrants are facing issues. Most also know about some org called Immigration Voice which has been making quite some noise since the last couple of months.
We are pretty confident that when our stories passed on to Senators it will definitely benefit us and convey the stark reality. Maybe a jolt like this is what is needed to get them out of stupor
Lets work together to make sure that our sufferings end.
Tell your friends about IV, contribute, send in your stories and volunteer for a better future....

hi jsb
what makes you state with confidance that the preadjudicated cases will be evaluated. can you please explain the basis of your statement. both my case and my wife's case has been pre-adjudicated and i am waiting for my green card. so do you think we should expect our green card some time next month without any additional followup. i would hate to see my case being sidetracked when some one else with pd and rd much beyond mine is serviced. any thoughts and insights. not trying to offend anyone. just trying to get some information.
thanks
Based on USCIS SOP (though a bit outdated) - see below - preadjudicated cases are piled in PD sequence when they wait for visa. Therefore, as your PD is quite high (Sep 04), you should expect a good news in Sept. Best...
