Medical Examination is going to be really bad once more. It is going to be a long queue. Keep on trying by calling the doctors and do not rely near by doctors. If you are in near by MA I suggest you Dr. Sanjeev Sharma really a great and reliable doctor we can trust. Where are you by the way????

We submitted our EAD application in June first week and we got our card this week, effective from last week of July for the next one year.
Our priority date is October 2006- EB2 and we are not current. So shouldnt we have been issued a 2 year EAD?
Also we gave our finger prints last year (July 2007 filer) but this time too both the EAD cards shows no FP available .
The EAD card of my spouse (he is the primary applicant says signature waived) I still have signature on my EAD card. Anyone else with the card that says signature waived. Previous card had his signature in there.
I heard that's the way it should be from Aug 1st... :confused:

you should be fine....doctor will just mention that you need to get one more shot....
Guys,
Thanks a lot for the response.
I was finally able to get a doctors appointment on July 24th.
Now comes the tricky part:
Is the varicella vaccine required ? I have not had chicken pox as a child. The blood work showed that I need a chicken pox vaccine.
I went to the county health department today , and they gave me shots for tetanus, MMR, PPD, and one shot for varicella. They said that I have to come back in 30 days for another shot of varicella.
I am not sure what my doctor will say to this when I meet him on July 24th. Also, is it possible for the doctor to provide an I-693 with a statement that the varicella shot will be completed later ?

This part refers to family benefits, i.e. payments to spouse based on your SS contributions.
The family benefits are explained on the ss website but there is no clear information about how the worker will get the benefits. On further digging, I found a document which indicates that the worker must be in the US to get the benefits.

I agree with you 200%. This new change will severely cause further retrogression.
The only thing that can disturb the trend for March VB is the new rule about NC>180 day pending.

They will not get I-94 for more than 6 months. You need to do following things to claim them as dependet(s) -
1. Extend their stay beyond I-94 i.e. 6 months.
2. Get ITIN number for them. (I am not sure how you get it on B1/B2)
This is the primary reason, immigration does not give more than 6 months I-94 on B1/B2 and avoid extending their stay....even if those are genuine reason(s).
My parents only stay here for about 170 days/year. Though, for every 30 days they stayed here last year, I can count 10 days towards their substantial presence in the US this year. That's how they can pass substantial presence without staying more than 180 days any single year. And B1/B2 visa holders can get ITINs. Undocumented immigrants who had no visas, in many states could use their ITINs to get Driver Licenses. IRS recently cracked down on this practice and asked all agencies to stop accepting ITINs as a form of identification and also made it harder to get an ITIN, but visa holders can get one. You may need to take the applicant (with their valid passport and visa) to an IRS office for verification. They can then accept the form in person, and return you a stamped copy of the application

Agree with you 100%. And this does not require a law change and is relatively easy. Not very easy, but easier than getting a new law passed.
I saw a comment on a lawyer's website that recapture of unused visas can only be done through legislation and not through administrative fix..
And, the real issue we should try to address here is USCIS inefficiency.
There are a lot of " worldwide" category folks who have been current for over a year (and a few months after the 180 day memo) but are yet to get their GC.... So unless we get USCIS to move fast on the applications that are current, all our visa recapture efforts help DOS to move cut off dates further ahead.. but if past history is any indication, more of these visa #s will be assigned to Consular processing cases rather than AOS cases in USA..
So.. I think while lobbying for Visa Recapture is the right move, we should also lobby to highlight USCIS inefficiency in adjudicating cases that are current..

Is it adequate if we know the case number? I was able to dig out my case number from there.
A few question related to the database:
1) Is the received date the same as the date the labor was filed (in other words, the priority date)
2) The 2005 and after database structure does not have employee name, and there are multiple records found on "prioirty" date, is there any other field that can be verified from other documents like the case number etc? How to nail down to exact record for me?
3) Is the SOC code the same as what we should be looking for "same or similar" job?
4) Assuming answer to above Q is yes, from where can we find detailed job duties for these codes?
Thanks cool_desi_gc, this is a very good tool provided we know how to correctly interpret the data.

Folks, the idea of this thread was to appreciate what Pankaj did and i am sure everyone agrees with me that he did a wonderful job.
To do it or not to do it, is a totally different thing.
This is a learning process and this rally was done for the first time. So, there were a lot of lessons learned.
We will do a better job in the next rally.
Instead of worrying about the rights and the wrongs, lets spread the words, lets get some more local lawmakers meetings, lets educate ppl about the issue.
Come on folks lets use this wonderful oppurtunity to advance our cause, lets use this positive energy to educate ppl more about LEGAL IMMIGRATION.
IV is a platform where we can unite and get things done together. IV does its best, but IV wants individuals to try at their personal level.
Come on guuys so lets start working on positive things and lets keep on moving forward.
GO IV GO

Let us discuss pros and cons of EAD.

The link to www.murthy.com states clearly what "Last acition" is in your case.
"The USCIS responded that the travel does not change the equation. The USCIS, through Efren Hernandez, Chief, Business and Trade Services Branch, reasoned that the last action would not be the travel and reentry in the prior status, but the previously-approved petition and change of status with a future start date. The travel does not invalidate the previously-approved USCIS change of status effective from a future date. This is because the last action regarding the person's status governs. "
I believe there is no diffirence in that logic for extension of status or change of status. It would be good to find the original letter of Efren Hernandez.

If you put the IOs into situation where they can potentially make mistakes...
more often then not, they will make a mistake. Then you have to pay the USCIS to fix their own mistake by filing MTR. Not to mention unnecessary stress... That being said, everybody has different risk tolerance.

Hello Gurus,
My I-140 was recently approved. 140-485 filed concurently in July 2007. I have a new job offer and plan to use AC21. However I am worried because the wages at new job would be significantly higher than the old job. There are two reasons for the big difference
1-Desi employer v/s corporate employer
2-Dallas v/s New York
Any comments from people who have faced similar situation will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Its really ironic to see that the time has come when we have to worry about making more money in future !:D

Everybody in this forum knows this. Core IV is on top of these items and every IV member should have confidence that they will steer everyone in proper direction as and when required. Do not get panic and call for unncessary shots on this sensitive issue.
I am not sure when the CIR will pass...its not on Nancy Pelosi aganda in forseeable future... and several people already mentioned that if it didnt pass by MAY07 then you are looking at Jan 09 to get immigration stuff to happen...
I think we need to work on an interm EB relief bill ...which is absolutely non contraversial and try to pass it....not worring about piggy backing the CIR...
Issues such as h1 increase or adding more numbers need not be in it...we can include things like EAD after I-140...spouse/childer not considered for EB quota...etc...
Unless we act desissively now...its going to be a long way to 2009..

I only have something to say, everyone is looking for its own turf, and if you really want diversity in the forum, the hard count will not attract anyone else other than Indians and Chinese. I am few months from working due to EB2- Worlwide category (current), so any change on the hard count is not on my benefit, same for anyone who is not from India or China, the EB3 is not current worlwide but the line of all the other countries is still shorter, if you really want to reach more than Indians and Chinese the goal has to be good for everyone, and the hard count is not. Thanks.
The request for the hard cap conversion to soft cap DOES NOT CANNIBALIZE non-Indians/non-Chinese. You are missing a key point here.
What the hard cap does is that say for example in the EB2 category the Indians and Chinese use up their quota. On the other hand the rest of the world uses only 50% of their quota (about 10K EB2 visas leftover, just a guesstimate).
1) With the soft quota, this leftover is given to the over subscribed countries in the SAME CATEGORY (Eb2). As a result, other EB2 candidates from India/China benefit
2) With the hard quota, this 10K now goes to UNSKILLED immigrants.
This amendment DOES NOT TAKE AWAY anything from the rest of the world at all! All it does is benefit SKILLED workers. Isn't IV about skilled workers? Why are some folks whose quota will NOT be CANNIBALIZED against this and consider this an issue of Indians/Chinese Vs Rest is beyond me. It is a matter of EB1 vs unskilled, EB2 vs unskilled and EB3 vs unskilled!
Can I be any clearer?
