    Sorry to hear about your situation. I will sincerely pray for you to get well soon!

    Actually I have often thought about this situation, and I thought the answer is the family will have to return to their home country.

    However, please do consult an attorney ASAP. Sertasheep, maybe you could connect him to Ms Henner!

    Wishing you all the best!
    Abhijit

    Whoever the lawmaker was who came up with the idea of allocating leftover EB4, EB-5 to EB-1 ! What? the least wanted category giving away its quota to highly deserving EB-1 ? How low can their thinking go ?

    What ? the leftover EB-1 highly deserving visas given to slightly less deserving EB2 ? :)

    Is there a proposal with IV to seek rethinking abt this spillover process ?

    Based on my brief experience with the American legal system (i.e., my greedy blood-sucking incompetent immigration lawyer), I don't think I want to get entangled in the American legal system.

    I will start with the letters and see what unfolds.

    Yes.

    We have thousands here. We take just 1000 people and if everyone contributes 100 dollars - its 100,000 dollars. Just an estimate for lawyer fees incase we get that far

    We are from BHARAT. Its a loaded statement. WE dont lose.

    TOGETHER WE STAND, TOGETHER WE STAND my brothers and sisters.

    Further, the director noted in his decision that the petitioner has not demonstrated that it is the intending employer offering the beneficiary a full-time, permanent position. The petitioner did not address this issue on appeal. Therefore, the petitioner has not demonstrated that it is the intending employer offering the beneficiary a full-time, permanent position.

    if it takes 2 or 3 years to fight this case, what is the use

    even if AILF wins in say 2 years:
    0. there are people with 2006/2007 India PDs, for whom I-485 filing is going to take 4 years or so, and this ruling, even if it comes in 2 years, cuts down the time by half!

    1. USCIS wont f@ck with future generations the way they did with us. We wont have to eye the VB with suspicion everytime its published.

    2. Its delayed, but its atleast justice and puts blame where it should lie. If this goes unchallenged, then essentially what USCIS did would be right/correct when people look back on this.

    Where the hell all these guys when EB3 is getting 80K to 100K of total 140K visas all these years and EB2 is getting just merely 10%-15%. Nobody from EB2 didn't felt jealous like this before. It is hard to digest for them now.


    So what were your expectations from EB3-I in those past years .... to fight for EB2-I and write to USCIS saying please don,t issue GC's to us but instead use those Visas and issue it our EB2 - mates.

    Dude ..awesome post

    With out IV, The only two things folks on the hill knew were illegal immigration and H1B visa. Now more than 75% offices know the EB issue inside out and have a position on it. This is an effort that needs to be continued until we get a solution.



    This in itself is a stupendous achievement and IV has made it possible. 2 or 3 years back you had NO VOICE. Now you have IV. Thats enough reason contribute and feel involved in the community effort.

    My papers were received at Nebraska Center by one... M. Schwitzer on 30th July. So far nothing... no receipts, no encashed checks.
    Latest frontlog update shows they have reached 29th July. It is a farce. In my office, I know of at least 5 guys whose papers were received in Nebraska Center between 17th to 20th July. Their checks are not even encashed till today.
    They just put in wrong and fake info just to please their bosses. This is a messy setup.
    Perhaps it is time for us to wake up one day and head to our "real and true" homes! May be we will eat Dal Roti only but we would be proud of ourselves and not remain at the mercy of these insensitive folks at INS. I am sure most of them are guys like you and me, but the system sucks and deep inside our hearts we off-load our anger and frustation at them....
    I am really pissed off.....

    Hi,

    I landed in July 06 in Toronto. Received my PR cards etc and then moved back to US and since then have not visited Canada.

    Does anybody know how long one can stay out of Canada after landing? I heard some where its 2 years and some say its 3 years from the date you land.

    Can somebody please clairfy that? or have any official ruling on that?

    Thanks,

    Question remains.. Why ? Why people dont do what is expected when they know that these initiatives are going to help them?

    Lack of convincing power that IV will do something. Lack of trust in IV organization. Lack of advertisements. lack of communication.

    How do successful organizations ask people to donate money? There is something to be learned. If the cause is right (we all know it is) then its a matter of delivering this message that will get people convinced. Lot of charities get donations. How? I think that is what we need to learn. Most desis are not even aware about this organization. I bumped into it via google search for my immigration answer. So lets throw some ideas around for better advertisements.

    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.

    THATS THE ONLY , REST EVERY SUGGESTION WITHOUT THIS IS BULLSHIT.

    QUOTE=TeddyKoochu;874115]I fully agree with this suggestion. This will greatly alleviate the suffering of the population who missed Jul 07 irrespective of EB2/EB3. The only way we can get the interim benefits (EAD/AP) is that the date crosses our PD's again which in the pre-adjudicated world is going to take a while. Any thoughts suggestions welcome.[/QUOTE]

    What pisses me off is that there are 220,000 visa numbers every year for family based GCs while skilled immigrants get only 140,000. Nothing wrong with immigrants wanting to bring immediate family members but this is causing nothing but chain migration. I think USA give more GCs to cab drivers than skilled immigrants.

    That is one of the curses of democracy. Politicians favor vote banks. After all what they care about is the votes.

    Here are the details:
    Mailed to NSC on May 31st.
    Received at NSC on June 1st.
    Transferred to TSC (I-140 was Approved from TSC)
    Receipt Date - June 01
    Notice date - June 08

    My 485 was filed with NSC on June 1st. It reached NSC on June 4th. We haven't received any receipts so far. I think NSC is still working on June 1st cases. Maybe I need to wait for one more week atleast

    I think it can not be true. I strongly believe in stats look around you and see how many have not received receipt, you will find very few numbers. In my office everyone has got receipt and my friends too. I am the only unlucky person. This sample is truly random hence I believe it. Out of 15 friends I know (work for different company and filed on different date) only I am left. Whatever immigartion-law or anyone is reporting like this is wrong.

    It is painful to wait like this and I am frustrated.. hope next week brings some good news...



    July VB Fiasco I-485 Receipting Delays

    The USCIS has yet to release the detailed progress report on the receipting delays in terms of the numbers that have yet to be processed for receipting. The only thing people know through various private websites just indicates that there are a plenty of people who are still waiting for filing fee checks cashed or receipt notices received for the cases which were filed as early as July 2, 2007, not to mention any later cases.

    We reported earlier that the USCIS had allegedly received total of 800,000 cases for the July VB fiasco cases. There is an unconfirmed report that they have completed the receipting only half way through of the total, meaning approximately 400,000. There are no sources of information to verify or confirm the figures. However, if it is correct, the USCIS has yet to process mountains of receipting workloads ahead and the filers have some additional sleepless nights which they will have to endure for a while. AMEN!

    CURRENT employment letter they will give in 10 mins....

    But for FUTURE employment letter i signed a bond for 10 grands saying that i wont leave them till 1 Year after GC....

    I bargained for 1 yr after EAD ( I already worked 2.5 yrs with them and i'm in this country for 7.5 yrs ) but the bargain was a failure... I could just change
    certain Clauses but nothing in the core of the Bond/agreement.

    After EAD i would show the bond to a lawyer for $250 and ask them if i can win the case within 4-5 grands ... If yes , i would hire that lawyer or else
    i'll pay 10 grands and do something else :))

    If i succeed by the lawyer route i would spend my win sum of $5000 for a vacation to Alaska or Europe .....

    Take it easy guys - Lets just hope USCIS accepts out 485 app tomorrow.

    My app has just reached Omaha, NE at 8 PM .... Hope it reaches Lincoln,NE by morning tomorrow ( its just 1 hr drive)

    with a copy of I-140, you can complete all your paperwork between now and dawn tomorrow.

    In the meanwhile, act everything is normal. Ask a employment letter with job title and current salary (say, you want it for trip to Canada or renewing your DL or some 'genunine' reason like that.

    Apply.

    Well then you should have done it long time back . You are now going for your citizenship and everyone on this forum knows that.

    i dont think we are going to solve anything by fighting among ourselves here... we have to take the fight up with USCIS and not among ourselves... the plight of EB-3 at this point is far far worse than EB-2... atleast we are current.. they are not even that.... we have to somehow include all fractions into what we do at this point....

    EB-3 deserves a GC as much as an EB-2... and so let's not create boundaries here... United we stand... divided we fall...

    what are our options.. to make the 500 pound gorilla kneel down ??

    Basis for this "trust", please?

    If USCIS continues to under perform, as they have been doing always till now (reason why EB3 ROW has moved substantially), then EB3 India will temporarily move forward this July.

    My gut feeling is that it may move to end of 2005, this is to enable DOS utilize as many VISA numbers as possible during the last quarter of the FY before the unused numbers goes down the drain.

    This is what Ron Gotcher also has specified.

    you made two critical assumptions to support your claim:
    1) Since responses and postings of key members are sparse, they are working day and night on getting the immigration reforms through
    2) If key members post on these forums, they will necessarily post half baked news which causes excitement.

    Apparently you completely missed the point. I am asking core members to participate in discussion on these forums, not to put sensational headlines that excites people. Hope that helps.

    In that case I have to ask you this - what makes you think I am "imposing" (whatever THAT means) high standards on myself? Were you trying to shoot down my arguments by false accusations? I am maintaining the same "standard" as the next guy.

    If you read my previous post with attention, you'll see that I have said I did not convey my intentions clearly. So again, if you're simply trying to shoot down what ever I am saying, well, I really can't stop you. You can keep going back to the same topic over and over again, but it will not prove your accusations!

    "self-imposed" as in 'chosen people' - as to subscribe to a higher standard to fulfill some expectation. It is not an accusation, it is called underlying presumptions in your posts.
    " I did not convey my intentions clearly" - then your comm skills are not much as you have presumptively touted them to be when you shot down the other guy. I am just pointing out, before pontificating, try self-analysis.

    Well after you enter the receipt notice, automated service gives you the information and then you can press the option that you did not find any info and then it will connect to a rep and tell him to open an SR
    Atleast this is what I did

    service rep. I tried calling could not find a way to talk to somebody to create SR. Can anybody help? What are sequence of numbers after calling 800 number...

    Thanks.

    You might be right. Check the response senator got from USCIS on Aug 6th. I was later approved on Aug 16th.

    -------------------------------
    In reviewing the August Visa Bulletin, it does appear that visas will be available after August 1st for these employment-based adjustment cases. In reviewing the electronic records, it does appear that the contractor has placed these cases in a location where they will be pulled and sent to an officer. We are unable to request the files be moved to an Adjudications Officer because our Records Division is running an electronic sweep to pull the files with available visas. Files will be pulled through this sweep and sent to an Officer. We are generally processing about 4000 employment-based cases a month and the cases with available visas are being pulled through these sweeps.
    -----------------------

    I asked the same question at Infopass (San jose) and with 2nd level Rep (NCSC). Did not get a clear answer. I guess it all depends on Infopass location.

    I have mentioned IV to a some Indians. They have no interest. Some of them are not bothered about retrogression. They exepect the GC to fall in their lap while they are sipping tea and eating samosa.

    Also, it is hard to trust a mainly Indian set up. The Indian contracting companies have set a very shameless level. I told my friends that IV appears different but it is hard to change your opinion when you see something else 10 times a day.

    I apolozie to the sensitive Indians if I this is breaking news. But this is the general feeling and a reason for hate in the blogs: where there is smoke there is fire. It is embarassing.

    For the life of me, I couldn't figure this out either.
    I also don't understand why most of EB applicants are so oblivious to the EB-based immigration situation.
    I am from ROW, and I could only shake my head in disbelief when one of my Indian friends asked me innocently if the 'situation' was 'really that bad'?
    If there really are 600K EB applicants, and all we can get is 6K members, then perhaps we deserve the crappy situation we find ourselves in today.

    Mehul,

    Sorry to hear about your diagnosis and our prayers are with you and your family.

    But as suggested by IV members, please do consider a visit to india and take second opinion from the Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai, its one of the best cancer treament centre in the world.

    US Healthcare system is for Profit, some medical facilities in US are exception, but if you see the overall Healthcare system it sucks and its all driven by insurance and big Pharmaceutical companies.

    Please send me the private e-mail if you need any help in Mumbai to reach good doctor in Tata Memorial Hospital.

    mehul,
    as a fellow human being my heart is full of sad by knowing your position. may god bless you and your family. as moderator (i think it was logiclife) said, you can not trust american doctors. go to a different country. if you are from india, i would suggest you to go to chennai / hyderabad and get checked. there may not be any cancer at all. you may be surprised with what miracles indian doctors can do. the survival of this dangerous illness is by staying positive about life. drugs will help, but having faith that you can overcome is very important. i pray for you and your family. ofcourse, when i pray daily the entire universe is added in my praryers. may god help all who needed help from him.
    i have no words remaining.

    I totally agree on EB3 to EB2 porting but the PD should be the day he qualified as EB2 not the original date of EB3 which makes sense.

    This way everyone is happy.

    People who have done Masters (EB2) should get the GCs first. :) ...Relax dont give me a red for this. I already had enough.

    Chill out

    Our 485/131/765 packet was mailed out on July 26th. We received all four Transfer Notices from CSC yesterday, stating that they transferred our cases to Nebraska as my I-140 was approved from LIN. Now waiting for the actual receipts to arrive from Nebraska.

    This is exactly what I was saying. People are getting overzealous and are losing their balance. By attracting too much attention when everyone in power is being anti-immigrant you people will hurt everyone. They will impose some more restrictions on us.

    We need to lay low for a while until economy improves and focus on keeping our jobs. That is the need of the hour rather than becoming a hero and trying to go against the wave.

    One thing that everyne needs to understand is that before the lawmakers, etc., take a stand they study the issue.

    Part of the study would be: Why is there so many Indians in the que?
    What type of companies are sponsoring most greencards?
    Rate of H-1b denials?
    Rate of consulate denials?
    How are people getting here?
    What is the average wage of people being sponsored here?
    if people are so skilled then why don't they go into extraordinary ability?
    DOL investigations?

    The list goes on and on of what the counter attacks are...

    People can send out press releases, contact the senators, etc., but it is one way communication. Then other side waits and releases their information. Right now; other side is winning by large margin.

    What is going on now with H-1b is direct result of quota completing so fast and it being studied with filed visits, audits. Conclusion was high rate of fraud; let's crack down.

    Is everybody ready for this type of scrutiny? You may think you have done everything right but all it takes is for one case from your company sponsoring you or a company which you had h-1b in the past to get investigated and you take the fall along with many others.

    You are turning a blind eye to his family, while also asking him to spend time with his family. You ask him to spend what he can on his treatment, while his insurance cover may go away if he quits his job and return to fiji/india.

    There is no easy answer here.

    But if he had his GC, he could spend all the time with his family, use his insurance cover at the same time, and not worry about his family going out of status.
    He COULD try to expedite the GC, while also exploring other options.

    Sorry for splitting things apart, Mehul. My best wishes are with you.

    Folks,

    Its good to see this thread is still active. I just came home after 30 hrs non-stop work due to our product launch. I did go through quickly on all the posts after my post and I really didnt get the point I was looking for. I will respond to each of you tomorrow in one post.
    The response I see for any type of campaign in the form of contributions is pathetic, based on the number of people waiting and those who are active. We will go nowhere, but this must change, and we will help.
    I will now have to sleep for 5 hrs and then go back.
    Thanks,
