Among legal immigrants waiting, there is huge block of people who are in worst possible scenario..
The specific group I am referring to is, the ones which have Labor and I-140 application approved but priority dates are not current.
Given that there is huge backlog (thanks to July-2007), situation for these [...]
I was just thinking of a way to help the US economy uplift itself by filling its coffers and helping States such as mine (MA) from economic turmoil.
I was hoping they would charge us immigrants a little more hire more people (creating jobs - adding taxes from the people) working on more I-140 and I-485 [...]
FY-NA-LLY..after 557 days and nights of unreasonable wait, my I-140 was approved today. Got the damn automated email and was in a little bit of disbelief for a moment. I know I am making it sound like too much of a deal here, but those of you that have waited with me and continue to [...]

10/08/2008: I-140 Processing in Four Months by April 2009?
This is a five-month old information which has just been released. This source of information indicates that the USCIS was hiring and training new employees and by April 2009, I-140 petitions might be processed in four months. It is [...]
I wrote the below comment to DHS’s journal last week. I hope somebody read it. There is a fair solution to this issue, and it is very doable. Here goes my comment:

Dear Sir,
You see a lot of complaints on EB3 I-140s at NSC. They process EB2s but not EB3s. If they are going to wait [...]
Backlogs for I-140 have remained close to the 140,000 mark for over a year. Recently, it has reduced to a few thousand under 140,000, providing some hope for us. But the EAD renewal application surge and the fact that all of these EAD’s need to be adjudicated within 120 days, is likely to put more [...]
Two leading law firms have reported that the USCIS now requires that the I-140 be approved before 2-year EAD’s will be issued. Some of us may have been lucky and already received it.

More reason for USCIS to reinstate premium processing for I-140’s. Those that need the EAD will choose to go with premium processing, thereby [...]
Chris B from the USCIS Leadership Journal Team responded to an angry comment by an Anonymous immigrant about the processing delay on the USCIS Director’s blog post on the leaderhip journal.
The comment by the Anonymous user on 9/25 was:
It’s a well known fact that no body pay too much attention to the post here.. If [...]

More reason to believe that NSC is approving I-140’s based on Labor filing date for EB-3’s.
For EB-2 filers, I am not sure what’s going on. Yesterday, there was an approval for a non-concurrent I-140 filing that was applied in May 2008, while there are plenty of from June and July 2007 EB2 filers that are [...]
Acting Director of USCIS Jonathan “Jock” Scharfen writes regular blog posts on the dhs.gov blog Leadership
Journal. Read his blog post on USCIS Processing Questions relating to Green Cards, Naturalization cases and I-140 processing.
First, I am glad that the Acting Director is taking the time out to communicate with the immigrant community. It’s a very [...]
