Sub: Legal Immigration and CIR
Body:
I am here to talk about LEGAL immigration. In all the noise about illegal immigration and their path to legalization a very important subject is lost and that is LEGAL immigration, and delays and problems they are facing.
I came to US in 2000 with a perfect business plan and dream to start a company and spread prosperity, but the path I had to take was H1B visa. After coming here my last 9 years have been spent on getting Green Card ( I have recently filed for my 10th year H1B Extension), and my GC application with a priority date of 2003 March is still waiting in Backlog.
While there is some opposition for illegal immigration more than 90% of people I meet support the improvement in process for LEGAL immigrants. I hope in this CIR while looking at illegal immigration you pay special attention to LEGAL immigration.
Together we can build a happy and prosperous America for future generations.
Sincerely

All,
I have filed 140 and 485 in July 2006, EB2 file concurrent at Nebraska service center. So far no word yet.
I would like to know anyone get approve either 140 or 485 from Nebraska service center to get an idea the time frame on my case.
Thanks,
:)
As all the I-140's from CA and VT were transferred to NSC in April so it is slow. I guess they are currently working on cases filed in the month of April. If your I-140 is not approved by December then you might want to consider converting it into Premium Processing so that you can avail the benefits of AC21 once your I-485 is pending for more than 180 days.

Did you join them on H1B and then move to EAD? Did you change your I-9 form when you did that? If you didn't, as far as they are concerned, you might still be on H1B and so they might feel a need to inform the USCIS. If not, well, there really is nothing in the rule book that says they have to inform the USCIS that an EAD holder left employment.

HI Ivar,
So in your case, did your older employer cancel or withdraw the I - 140 or it was active. Do you know if you can still port the priorty date if the I140 is withdrawn by the older employer. I have looked at most of the forums and haven't found a concrete answer to this question.

Do not forget that the nurses / ph Therapist category swallows bunch of or all of EB3 visa numbers. This category is always current and they can make this EB3 to get stuck in April 22'01 for years.
Unfortunately most of the nurses also come from India I beleive. Some come south africa and phillipines. Do we have any data on this anywhere?
if 110,786 cases are due to retro...
then these cases are either (2nd China/India, 3rd, and other workers)??
considering 140,000 visa numbers available, and other catagories being current, only portions these retro cases will get visa numbers by this year..
no hope for PD advancement???

A Tennessee woman sent her "7 Years" old adopted son back to Russia "ALONE" in a flight saying that "Its over".
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100415/ap_on_re_eu/eu_russia_us_adoptions
Can a 7 Years old understand what is going on around him, he was already in an orphanage and this lady sent him back alone saying "no need for him anymore".
Hell, you guys are talking about "immigrations and citizenships", there is something beyond those called "Basic human rights"

I got this RFE more than an year back. The birth certificate that I had provided did not have my name and just said "male child". So I had to provide the following secondary information-
1) An affidavit from my grand parents. Two different ones saying that they were present at the time of my birth.
2) Affidavit from the Doctor that he was the person who performed the operation.
3) Government issued Ids like driving license showing complete name with a picture.
Hope this information helps.

You should take fulltime (permanent) position or atleast maintain one permanent position which is according to your LC.
This is the trick. If you feel that it will take a while before USCIS will adjudicate your case, you can take any job or not work at all but always be ready to show that you have a job offer as per LC once USCIS ask for it.
I have friend who was interviewed and was asked for a valid offer of employment as per LC. She's able to show it. But the thing is, her PD is far from being current.

I think this rule would be pretty controversial with the diversity restrictions that US expects.
So, why there is country limit just on GC quota, if they want diversity it should be on H1/L1 visas as well...this is why we are seeing backlog of more then 5yrs in GC. It is not diversity they want it is called discrimination :eek:

I do not think one would not go to India just because he/she is scared to get a stamp in India. The loss of someone dear to you can overcome any such fears one might have (for me atleast thats applicable).
In any case, I did not know (neither did my collegaue) of the emergency quota. Thanks for sharing that with us and thanks to forums like these, every day is a learning experience.
Ragz4u, Well, I should not have typed the last sentence in my previous post, I take it back.. I agree with you the loss of someone dear to you can overcome any such fears one might have... But I do know my colleague did get his appointment through emergency quota and got his stamping and returned back, after attending his father-in-law's death/ funeral. He was not able to schedule the appointment through the online system, but he had to call the consulate directly to get his appointment. He got his appointment in the same week he had called them.

You are a citizen of one of the countries listed below, and the worker on whose record your benefits are based lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years or earned at least 40 credits under the U.S. Social Security system.
Thats the confusing part
This seems to indicate someone else will get benefit payments but not the worker himself / herself.
This part refers to family benefits, i.e. payments to spouse based on your SS contributions.
Question: Why Canada is not in the list of countries?

IMHO, this is a legitimate website as I have been getting updates from them regularly and they are a supporting group for illegal immigrants path to legalization. As per the email I received today, anti-immigrants have sent 693,437 faxes to Washington this month to oppose reform.
See they took your personal information and now spamming you. How are you sure they wll not share your personal information with anyone?

There is no second opinion that USCIS is wrong on morale ground for July VB issue. But I am not sure technically, they are right or wrong. They interpreted the law in their convenience. Here is what I see
What ever visa left for year 2007, they requested to use for July 2007. They kept ready all pre-adjudicated applications and assigned visa numbers on July 1 (Sunday). No one can stop them to send green card approval notice for visa assigned cases later. In a rush, they assigned visa number to few cases whose security check is still pending (technically this is wrong). They realize their mistake and now checking all the cases which are assigned visa numbers on July 1 whether security check is cleared or not. They are now approving the cases (with a slow speed) whose security check is cleared and assigned visa number on July 1. They are returning visa number which are assigned to cases whose security check is not clear.
This is my understanding.
Just trying to sum up the situation from USCIS perspective...
1) DOS releases July visa bulletin making all EB categories current (except for other workers)...hoping to force the USCIS to adjudicate cases and avoid wasting visa numbers as in previous years
2) This infuriates USCIS, and for whatever reasons (this has been debated enough already), they decide to use up all the FY2007 visa numbers in June itself and then force the DOS to revise the July bulletin in June itself...so no one can file in July.
3) Unfortunately, they run into issues going through with their plan of using up all visa numbers in June
4) July 1st and morning of July 2nd...they still are working frantically to use up the numbers to avoid new July filers. But by now, it is July already and they have failed in their original mission (see 2 above). Now they start panicking and do some dumb stuff (in violation of their own regulations). They approve I-485's of some folks who were ready for approval (processing complete and FBI check cleared), but whose dates were not current. They also pre-requested some numbers for folks whose dates were current, but processing was not complete i.e. FBI check was not cleared.
5) Late morning July 2nd: By requesting all available numbers from DOS and exhausting FY2007 quota, they forced DOS to revise the July bulletin, which was unprecedented.
6) July 5th and later: It is now post July-2nd, and USCIS still has cases for which they pre-requested numbers. Now the problem is that even if the FBI check comes through for those cases, they cannot approve them because technically, all numbers have been used up for FY 2007. So they start returning numbers to DOS. They also decide NOT the send the applications of people who filed on July 2nd or later back while they decide on the next course of action...
I think this will have major implications for both USCIS and DOS. The key for USCIS was to exhaust visa numbers on or before June 29th to achieve their obejective without repercussions...and force DOS to revise the bulletin in June itself...and they failed miserably at it.
And now they will have to pay. I know some people are thinking please let USCIS just sweep it under the carpet and just allow us to file our cases...no harm done. But I diasgree...what they have done is shameful. And they should be made to pay for playing with our lives. They should never be able to even think of doing something like this again. And their operations should have direct congress/DOS oversight so they cannot get away with snail-paced processing wasting visas ever again...

In fairness to the OP, he/she said that "...while TSC filer are getting ead adn AP as SOON AS THEY GET RECEIPT...." (emphasis mine).
He/she didn't mean to say that NOT GETTING any receipt is good as long as you get your EAD.
No Hard Feelings...as some body said earlier Grass Is Green on Other Side..
You can't say "In-Justice" because of diff priority..NSC thought to let every body get receipt first then work on EAD's and AP's. So they are issuing those faster.
TSC is working on both parallel.
Same people they would have been on other side of situation wud have said that It's better to receive the receipt first than EAD.

I do have a D70 as well as other AF and non-AF cameras and never had such problems before. I have backfocus-problems with all lenses on the D70. I ran some simple testing that confirmed this. In practice, this will only be a problem shoting faces wide open - but here, it's quite bad.
