Not sure how this two application thing work, but doesn't this kind of situation trigger unncessary confusion with finger printing etc.?
As far as I know, when USCIS collect the Finger Prints everything will be in the same database and the name check, back ground check etc. starts from there. If you apply two applications then you will get notifications twice? Unnecessary risks and confusions, if I were you..I wouldn't do this.
USCIS is so unpredictable, what if they do back ground check twice and create some weird confusion or one of you get stuck unnecessarily? This is a very confusing scenario. Talk to your attorney.

Great initiative and kudos to NolaIndian for making it happen!
I walked 12 miles yesterday. Today i feel the pain when i walk. Anyways, you can count me in for that part. I am not sure if i can commit myself to the SF event... I need some more time to make up my mind.

after filing for I-485 on Jun 1. Also filing for EAD for self and 3 family members. EB3 Nov 2001. H1B stamped in visa valid till Oct 2008.
Do I need to wait for Receipt of Filing?
Cancellations charges ( USD 200 per ticket - 4 tickets) and new tickets (difference of 300 per ticket - 4 tickets) will cost a lot. Anyone else in similar situations? Anyone know something? Anything?

Guys, Please do not ridicule saralayar. he has raised a very valid point. We are so involved with the GC issue that we are not able to think beyond that. I do agree with the fact that IV is so preoccupoed with GC crisis that there is no point (or bandwidth) to raise citizenship issue. I have seen so many of my friends who came with me in US 8 years ago and are citizens by now but I am still struggling with GC with no hope in site. Sometime, I think, by the time, I will get GC (if I), they will become sr citizen :) it feels very bad but cant help it.
I agree. We could try for some reduced wait time towards citizenship for people whose GC applications are backlogged or those facing years of retrogression. A good starting point would be to write to Ombudsman with this suggestion. Although this is not an administrative fix it would be good to highlight this furhtur at Ombudsman level.

The only and simple way to stop H1B abuse is to allow only max 10% non-immigrant (H1, L1, TN etc) employee in a company. Rest 90% have to be Green Card or Citizen. These desi consulting, Indian big companies must be hving at leaset 90 % employees on non-immigrant status.
Simple and universal rule that will solve all the H1B problems
Why not make it a requirement that all 100% should be citizens ? Because it does not suite you ?
What about the first company you worked for (got H1 from) ? You already forgot about it ?

u mean the old Passport ? Yes, my old one was issued in India (vizag).
renewal applied by mail to CG SFO, got the new one to my mailing address in US, on the fifth day.
the 10 days estimate they are giving might be including the buffer time for contingencies and
contacting vizag might be the worst case scenario they are telling, but most probably not needed.
i later learned that, u can renew ur PP in India in 3 days, with Tatkal.

I was able to talk to a very nice IO at TSC. He even offered to check where my file is and no wonder it is not assigned to an IO yet. He placed a request for file to be assigned. He also told me that case is preadjudicated. Not sure what to infer and how useful these requests initiated by IOs at TSC are as last week when i spoke to TSC the office told me that he is initiating a request to send me second FP notice but this officer said no need for that as FP are current but need uploading in system, he said he is issuing another request to upload the biometrics as well ( i did FP in NOv 2007). NO idea how will it go but case not assigned to an IO is not a good sign, will still hope for best.

Honestly I cannot see much wrong with Congressman Pences point of view.
Unless you are an illegal who is looking for a free ride on the US immigration laws, you have got to consider it fair. Especially if it is combined with some sort of expansion of legal immigration, a fair minded individual cannot really quarrel with it.
Only problem is that it will cause those coming after a few years legally to get caught up in a Tsunami of applications and probably will be unfair to them, but ATLEAST they would be aware of what they are up against and will choose to come KNOWING that.
Immigration to the US is not a right and many of us are suffering a lot to play by the rules so our children have a bright future. Our talents are being utilised at less than their full capacity to serve a bigger purpose in this land. We are waiting patiently. Someone who cut in line should not be given rights and priviledges that we have suffered so much to get by doing the right and honorable thing.
According to this new plan the illegals will learn to know that a green card is a LONG PAINSTAKINGLY FRUSTRATING process just like all of us have learnt.
I am happy that despite their breaking the law they have a chance to atone for their mistake and still EVENTUALLY get the green card, perhaps when they are old and grey but eventually. Hey I have sprouted many grey hair in this endeavour myself!
I think this is fair and balanced and just might be able to put this CIR beyond the goalline. God knows the current legal immigration system needs some reform.
... the problem however is that the laws and procedures of the land do not care if you are suffering to do things right which makes it an UNFAIR system.

This question has been posed before but I did not find answers so am posing too: When can one travel safely to India after applying 485?
1) If EAD and AP are filed along with 485, how long will they take to arrive. Service center dates indicate that EAD and AP currently at Jan 07. Does that mean that they are taking over 4 months to issue EAD/AP?
2) There is a an Interim EAD. Is there an interim AP if AP is pending for over 90 days?
3) Is it possible to request EAD/AP at a later time?
4) My H1B is up for reneval in Oct 07. Can I get a 3 year extension on H1, apply for a H1B visa in India and travel back to US on this? Would this be a faster option?
5) When do FP notices typically come out after applying for 485?
6) What is the grace period for FP if one misses the deadline (Is it still 12 weeks? Will the new rule to remove 12 weeks on RFE/NOID have an impact on FP?
7) If you are using an attorney for 485, will all such notices (FP, etc.) go to the lawyer as well. The concern here is that if the notice comes to my home address and I am out of the country then I am liable to miss that appointment.
Please with experience/knowledge, please share your information.
Regards.

Everywhere I am seeing few EB-3 india folks showing concern about the grim outlook for EB-3 india due to retrogression, noone else care about this.
It looks like many EB-3 RoW folks are relying on the VISA spillover to them and becoming "c" very soon....I dont see any reactions at all from those members either on or IV forums.
Writing to US senators and Congress Reps is the way to get some relief for EB-3 india. Each one of us should write our own story and present this USCIS pending inventory to them and educate them on how long it will take for us to receive LPR status without any releif from US congress.
VISA recapture will be easier to pass in US congress and IV should start campaign for VISA recapture. IV will receive lots of funding if they initiate this campaign as many EB-3 india folks are willing to donate for this cause.
Hi Raju,
You hit the nail on its head. The Eb3I participation is very very less. Look at EB2 specific threads. There are 25000 views. EB3I specific threads is a mere 2000. In fact EB3I is supposed to be a biggger group.
Here are my theories:
- EB3I guys lost hope in IV and stopped visiting IV
- EB3I guys work in low level jobs without access to Internet even in office or home (certainly cannot be the case)
- EB3I does not know about IV at all for the past 4 years (hmmm...)
- EB3I just bury their heads in sand looking for a miracle
This is a bigger problem than the EB3I backlog problem.
I know many guys in this forum who are regular contributers are missing here. What really is going on?
