    You got that right!, so you are going to help out here or what?

    Nope, never to you, may be if someone comes out with a more communal goal, then may be, I will oppose anything you do...doesn't matter right or wrong. Call it personal or whatever, I respect people who see the big picture and act responsibly..

    I have read in a few places that we plan to send flowers on 11, and 12th also?

    If that is the case then the document has to be updated to include those dates. Also, I suggest collecting emails and fax numbers and assigning a few people to do the actual "sending". This will make it easier to coordinate.

    If I am lucky enough I can make upto 70-80years of my age maximum, considering my age now, I might live another 30-35yrs. Just imagine what life we want, I completely agree what points you mentioned below. But you are forgetting the insidents we read in news media every day. I almost find atleast one incident where people are killed just for money........what if our fate is not good, and we encounter such situation???

    So there is are many factors that effect our life on both sides of the globe !

    So your point is...?:confused:

    I posted to topic "My concern- Skill in 2009"...then came proud american..derailed us off track and then we forgot our route....now back to the route....what action are we talking to intorduce this Eb interm relief Bill in senate in Jan..I think we need an input from Core members about how to proceed here..

    Each of us write to all out state senators and also important once like Nance pelosi, Mccain..so on...about providing some non-contraversial releif...we need to mention those and send LEGIBLE HAND WRITTEN LETTERS without spelling mistakes and send it fedex.....Send it during Chirstmas ...dot forget to mention God Bless America...just explain in simple words that we have been waiting for some relief from 2001 and have not seen any...please consider passing these non-contraversial issuses....I think they are reasonable and would agree....also mention that we have been dodged like a football saying skill/CIR and so on....
    Better yet a skillfull person writing this and all of us using this...


    Target is to intorduce the EB interm bill by End of Jan

    Yes let us get back on track. Core members please respond with comments about interim relief in January.

    Per my lawyer,

    1. USCIS does not mandate that you must inform when you invoke AC21. You can inform them if and when you get RFE.
    2. I strongly believe that we should not accept job offers that is not related to the job you originally applied for. My lawyer says it is usually vague and if USCIS determines other wise I will be in trouble. And for the same reason I am hesitant to accept very good employee offer from my current client.
    3. Self employment is ok as long as the requirements are met and that is what is I am doing now.

    Guys,
    I have received receipt notice for my I-485. My AOS petition was received by J.Barrret at 10:25AM Nebraska Service Center. Later it got forwarded to TSC where my I-140 got approved few months before. Let me know if you have more questions...

    Congrats ! Any LUD on your application?

    I will also suggest guys waiting with their PD current to write to the USCIS Director in DC. I did that; not sure if that worked in my case, but one needs to explore every way of bringing their case to the attention of the management.

    I tried doing that. Convinced the employer to file a new labor for a new position, advertized again, filed a new labor under PERM, applied for a new I-140 and waited for a year for approval ... now the I-140 has been denied for A2P and is under appeal; I must confess that I have lost hope that it'll get re-opened and approved.

    So all my efforts for getting a EB2 140 have failed.....what do you recommend, I start this entire process again. Even if I'm willing to bear the cost, the employer will not file yet another labor.

    EB3 wait is my only way out now......

    thanks

    Good point, gene. Folks think that switching to EB-2 is easy enough...not really...esp. with no PP for 140...It can take years to convert in the present situation...and a lot of companies are not interested to file second labor or 140...

    Hang in there mate...

    I had filed in Nebraska on Jul 31st. I called and got receipt numbers for all 3 of my cases.
    My 140 was cleared in Texas but current numbers start with LIN.
    All my receipt dates show September 10th when i check online.

    Still havent received any update from my lawyers.

    just a reminder that the rep knows exactly when it was received in the mail room. Some people had said that it might be ok to lie and say its past 90 days even if its not because they wont know when it was received in the mail room.



    Thanks

    FOIA may be. Btw can you add a poll to this thread to see forum support?

    Is suing the only option? USCIS could be making unintended mistake. We want to get clarification in a smoother and faster process before the flood gates open in October.

    There should be some other legal-process to get written clarifications/interpretation etc on the law (like some kind of AILA discussion with CIS).

    I took an infopass appointment today. The IO sent an e-mail to NSC after taking details like DOB, address etc. for me and my wife.

    btw, FP for us has been scheduled. Looks like they have some kind of a queue for that but a notice has not been sent out.

    So that was it. Am going to wait it out patiently.

    I had taken an infopass appointment after filing an SR. All the IO said was I should call NSC. I don't think the IO's at the local USCIS office can issue FP notices.

    Shall try again sometime this week or next and update the same here. I am a NSC->CSC->NSC transferee.

    I would advise not to go for your landing. At this point you need to make a decision whether you want to pursue canadian GC or US GC. If you have applied for 485 then it best that you not do the canadian landing. You may have issues when you come back to US. They may ask you why you went to canada and you cannot lie and have to tell them the truth. This may raise questions on your intent to pursue US GC. It all depends on your luck as to who you get the IO. I have heard of a case where a person got RFE on 485 after completing the landing.

    If you still want to do the landing then you should be prepared for RFE or NOID on your 485.

    Thanks dingudi. If you know of a solid case where someone was RFE'd because of landing while on 485, then it looks like I might seriously consider abandoning it as well.

    One last question: Let's hypothetically say that I do decide to land and somehow manage to get back into the US without any issues using my AP. However, every subsequent time I leave the U.S. and return, I run the risk of getting "caught" at the POE with regards to the 485/Canadian residency conflict. Am I correct in this assessment?

    Again, I appreciate your input immensely. Thanks!

    I thought of going back after getting citizenship, but that would be another 8-9 years at the least. I would miss the big ride in India. When I went there(Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu) 3 years ago, I did not like it that much. But I see a big change in the last 3 years. Infrastructure is improving. Few of my friends have already gone back and are pretty happy over there.

    I am from Hyderabad, l left that city in 1999 to do my MS, got my MS, switched a couple of jobs as i thought career growth / job satisfaction was more important than filing a GC, finally my present company filed my GC in 2009 (PD 2009), I am fed up of this laborious process, not everyone can take it, and I am one of them, and as I get older, I am getting more conservative and I find it difficult to adjust here. I am visiting India this year, if everything works out, I will be heading back, even with all the complaints about India, it still is my country of birth, and there is a saying, "Janani Janma bhoomishya swargadapi gariyasi", translated, Mother and motherland are superior to the Heaven.

    Received FP notice today. The online tracker says following:

    Current Status: Case received and pending.

    On September 11, 2007, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case.

    My lawyer confirmed that the application was posted on august 2nd 07.

    Can anyone help me figure out when is my receipt date? And from which date can I start counting 6 months to file ac21 ?

    I am in the same boat as you. Got FP notices for me and the wife today in the mail and online tracker states received on Sept 10th. My lawyer sent it on Aug 1st to NSC and file # starts with LIN so we are ok there. any thoughts? how important is the receipt notice if we have the receipt number information handy?

    That is correct. It does vary from lender to lender. I got 100% from my lender. 1st loan 80% 2nd 20%.



    This varies widely from lender to lender.

    I was able to get approved for 100% financing for an investment property (which is even harder to get financing for). I decided not to buy it later though.

    Always try different kinds of lenders. Big banks, small banks, credit unions. Also try mortgage brokers. Sooner or later you'll make a hit.

    My situation is similar too.

    The employer is not ready to file the 485, thinking that I may leave the company after 6 months.

    I have the I-140 receipt notice , but no approval notice.

    There is no way he is going to issue a employment letter , still debating my options.

    think about it, there has been slavery here in the united states similar to what has been in India, India is now a secular and democratic country, with opportunities for all, but one has reservation there, so in a similar sense, the blacks/ latino's would also need reservation here ??.

    Simple ... Blacks and Latinos are minority in US... and in India so called Backward Castes are the Majority and in a Democracy MAJORITY RULES! .. so Reservations Persists in India!!! :)

    Yeah, I know my life sucks. I have a priority date of Jan 2003. Got filed under EB3 even though did MS here... I begged and pleaded that they atleast send it on Jan 28th. For god's sake, I was qualified all the way since June 1st. I gave all the documents necessary by June 6th itself. Well, but they had to file on 29th.

    I hear you man. I am in exact same situation. I filed on June 29th inspite of having whole July. We will see what happens. Hope we will be fine!

    Tony,

    Not everyone who contributes will post their contribution in the forum. Would it be possible from IV to get the latest contribution totals?

    Thanks!

    I don't think its much different from what is posted. Only one time contributions are being considered for this event.
    I have a shared doc with StarSun and all known ones have been accounted for the above total.
    Only one month left to achieve our funding goals.

    It does look like there are only a few hundred (~200) willing to actively participate for the good of others. About 0.04 % of all EB2, EB3 filers.

    One possible strategy.......
    Dividing 50,000 into that, it will be great if you hardworking people, fighting for legal immigrants, can touch about $200-400 each,
    while the rest watch from the sidelines and cheer for us :), and also debate & analyze spiritedly.....
    I'm at $300 now for this event

    Total EB 485 applicants whose PD<2006 approx 200K????
    Ans: Problem is these 200k are form India and China only.:) So this 200k workload will be adjusted against 22000 total (EB2/3- China, India) per year and that is how 10 years.I think you guys are in good shape. I dont know why it will take 10 years.

    The process is streamlined now.

    PERM process
    140 immediately after labor
    Note: Not yet. Still many rot in I-140 queue and premium has not started yet.No more labor substitution no more cutting lines.
    NC>180 days you will GC

    Once they reinstate 140 premium processing.....all the backlogs will be cleared by next year october.

    None of this damn crap is fair. There are 3 lines in the green card queue. 1) Labor/PERM line, further subdivided on the basis of BEC, PERM, Employer willingness, exempt(NIW) etc. 2) the I-140 Line and 3) the I-485 line. These lines each have inconsistent patterns depending upon the winds of the day, a few years ago, LC/BEC lines were long, employers were less willing to sponsor green cards, and there was no I-140 PP processing, now all of a sudden PERM is there, PP of 140 came into being, and 485 became an eternal wait and country quotas came into being. For those that got screwed with BECs then PP 140 got removed when they were ready to file and now PD retrogressed into the stone age, it sure would seem like non sense for the guy who got PERM in 2 weeks, then PP 140 in 10 days and filed 485 in he July fiasco. Nevertheless you are only speaking in terms of degrees of getting screwed, since all are being done so by an unpredictable and unreliable system.
    None of this damn crap is fair, we all know it. The only fair thing is for this country to decide who it wants and needs and sort them out ASAP. A wait of 2yrs, 5yrs or 10 yrs is immaterial, all of the above are ridiculous in EB immigration, degrees of unfairness is splitting hairs if you ask me. Up to 2 yrs is understandable, but beyond that implies a broken system which we need to lobby to fix. If we can all agree on that then, we have a platform to move forward with, otherwise we will get nowhere. When you average out the way most immigrants came to this land....................all of us are way more contributing and deserving, lets try to remind people of that as well as our future potential.

    We too got the magic emails saying our 485 has been approved. It was indeed a long journey that started back in 2000. Happy that it all ended well. My priority date is Dec 2005. I did create a service request early August which helped a lot. All the best to the rest of the guys who are waiting for the approval emails.

    That lawsuit Idea is still very much alive but not relevant to this. Plus that idea will take some time. I also don't beleive I had been unethical.

    The bottomline, you would agree, the reason we all are lurking on this forum is to get our GC. I can assure you and the other core members of one thing, I will not do anything which is I beleive is unethical on not within the boundaries of the law.





    The other day you spent the entire day answering every question(s) people had. I even told my wife that our good friend is going to take all our worries out pretty soon. EB2 will no longer going accept porting so we will go faster and then guess what you didn't even file the law suit yet....you let us down!!

    I have a humble suggestion for you, please concentrate on your work and read some books on ethics and leave the GC processing to CIS.

    Got receipt notice for I-485/AP/EAD/ from USCIS today (8/30/2007). My package was delivered to Nebraska center on July/27/2007. Notice date is August 21st, 2007. My priority date is Dec/23rd/2003.

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Congratulations. Mine was also delivered on the same date, 7/27. Did you get the receipts or your Attorney? Is your case EB2?

    For those wondering what's going on in this thread...here's a brief synopsis:

    We are collecting pledges to file a lawsuit against USICS against these random and opaque processing of GC's. Our target is to get 1000 affected people to pledge atlaset $100 each so that we can fund this lawsuit. No money being collected right now..just honest pledges.

    There is a current list of members who have pledged support on the link below.
    http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?k...8fcKLTQ&hl=en#

    If you would like to help in this effort, please send me a private message with the following info:
    1) Ur IV handle
    2) Ph#
    3) Email ID
    4) Amount you would like to pledge.

    Please note, we will move forward only if we have atleast 1000 pledged members to make up a sound force behind this campaign. So unity is the key here. We will not collect money unless we have a solid proof that we are not alone in this fight.

    Once again..we have nothing to lose...but a big gain if we can gather enough support and raise our voice against thsis open injustice.

    Job title - doesnt matter but your job duties or job description matters.
    Your job description should not change from PL//SQL developer to J2EE or something drastically.
    Again as said by Ramba please keep in mind INS have not published any hard lined rules or clarification. But as per my attorney's view INS is lenient on AC21 cases with respect to approval , at the most you may get RFE for job description and latest W2 for salary comparison with 140.
    Finally I am not legal expert , confirm with your lawyer.
    Good Luck

    If I get a RFE on Salary comparision would that be a problem as my salary would increase more than 30%. Will they not take into account that my salary should eventually go up with my years of experience ?

    My attorney says it cud also result in delay of the process...its a 50-50 chance.

    Dozn't matter whether u inquire or the attorney doz and thats why they have an option when u call whether u r a representative or the petitioner himself...Anyways if u think its worth a try go for it.

    I think bottom line is it depends on the IO having ur case and sitting on it doing nothing...

    I contacted my Attorney (Its company attorney) and he told me that he will make an enquiry with USCIS. Apparently he has a list of all the pedning cases who are current this month and he is planning to send the list to USCIS.

    Lets see what i get next week. Week 3 done. Week 4 starts!

    Ha ha Congrats....

    Story of my life. I complain about delay with my application. Someone joins me and tells me they are in the same boat and the very next day that someone leaves the boat and jumps into "greener" pastures. Everyone is leaving the boat and I seem to be left out :(

    Who else are in my boat? (Application with an officer for over 2 weeks and still status = "Initial Review")

    Me....

    SR ...on Aug 02 ...Response ..> Under review ...wait 60 days

    You are already out of status as H1 accounts for continuous employment along with regular pay. H1 visa, job and pay go hand in hand. Any one component missing means you are out of status.

    There is no grace period. As the earlier member said, it is a gray area without any specific guidelines. I have seen people stay out of job (status) for 4 months and have used portability or consulate stamp upon getting a new job. It all depends on the IO.

    BTW, did you ever realize how unethical it is to use a consultant for acquiring a H1 visa without actually having a fulltime job? For last 7 years I am on H1 myself and have played by rules� I hate people who false represent the facts for immigration benefits.

    Because of people like you genuine candidates who have legitimate jobs are left out as you guys get lucky in the lottery even though you don�t have a regular fulltime job. My wife was forced to stay at home for almost 3 years because of people like you.. FYI she had a job offer (from a F500 Inc.) but people like you got lucky when it came to H1 lottery. Not just that but people like you give a bad name to legal immigrant community.

    Hi

    I came to us on H4 in 2007 and the got my H1B in 2008. I am not getting a job on H1 yet so i want to know that till when the H1B be valid as I am not genarating any salery and my consultant is not running my pay roll ?

    And if the H1 goes dorment then what can be done next?

    PD Jan 22 2006.
    Infopass on Aug 3rd said everything is good to go.
    opened SR no.1 for primary on aug 4th, was told cases were assigned on aug 3
    Level 2 cust service said cases pre-adjudicated.
    Reply to SR no.1 was standard - wait for 30 days.blah blah.
    Congressman inquiry said cases assigned to officer.
    opened SR no.2 for dependent on Aug 19.

    i think the Aug 19 SR did the trick.
    thanks a lot for moral support all this while everyone !

    Good if it happens. But when? What makes it to say it is dead for the lawmakers. If it is likely to be dead by the end of July, then what for the hearings in the month of august before the next recession? No hopes for anything, until something is signed by the president. Any new BILL, agian the same senate, congress, commitee process and KILL it at the end. Hmmm it is just my frustration and I am not blaming anyone. I am there to fight till the end(?? I dunno where the end is though).

    Answering for Logiclife, whose time zone is a couple hours behind.

    CIR will likely not be VOTED dead. There just will not be anything done about naming a Conference committee. If a committee is indeed named, but they don't produce a report in 2-3 weeks, then CIR would be deemed dead.

    The bottom line is, if nothing happens by the end of July, CIR will likely be dead.

    We will be looking at other options much before the end of July. The problem for us is that no other legislation will be considered before the end of July.

    Hello Sir,

    While opinions are good and welcome. My requirement is to see the exact INA language.

    I have read the INA Sec 203 multiple times, I could not find the link between ebquota and ebdependents. May be I am missing it. Can some one show the exact lines in INA ?

    Think about this "5 year old derivative kid" is counted in ebquota. How did the kid qualify for ebquota ? The law clearly says "to qualified immigrants who are aliens described in any of the following subparagraphs" and then goes on to say the exact qualification.

    Don't take me out of context. I do want the kid to get greencard, however I am against the kid being counted in ebquota.

    I am yet to get the access to ( I am a recent donor ) donor thread that refers the exact INA language. Can some other donor post the exact INA language in this thread ?

    Thanks

    Hello Madam,

    22 CFR 42.32 a(2),b(2),C(2) page 224

    http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2005/aprqtr/pdf/22cfr42.32.pdf

    (2) Entitlement to derivative status. Pursuant to INA 203(d), and whether or not named in the petition, the child or spouse of an employment-based first preference immigrant, if not otherwise entitled to an immigrant status and the immediate issuance of a visa, is entitled to a derivative status corresponding to the classification and priority date of the beneficiary of the petition.


    Hope this helps you sleep better at night.

    Thanks

    P.S: This is just to prove your attorney is wrong. Now thanks for donating and lets fight to remove the country limits and exempt dependents from the quota. Are you with us?

    What does ADIT processing means any idea is that we need to go to local USCIS office for the interview?

    Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

    I posted it in a new thread but it is not appearing in the home page links
