S for senate
HR for House Resolution
SA for Senate Amendment to a Senate bill
--- don't know Amendment for a HR
May be a dumb question.. how is HR.2 different from S.2? What is approved today is S.2. I thought HR is house of represenatives. But again SA is a senate amendment. So I am confused!

Atlanta simply stop working on Audit cases for last 3-4 months.
I think there are more people affected by this than 50 people mentioned in this thread. My recommendations are.
1) Need to gather additional people got affected by this
2) Most of the people already contribute to IV but if we need additional funds to drive this lobbying, need to find out and start collecting additional funds
3) Need advise from IV moderators/seniors about the next step regarding lobbying or contacting the local law makers or collecting additional funds for organized lobbying.
Other information we need to find out is does any people got LCA approved after the audit? If yes, how much time it has taken after the audit?

Guys,
Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated. I think I have the answer to my question.
Essentially:
1. RD will determine sequence in which AOS are looked at by case officers at USCIS. So July applicants with 2006 PD will geat EAD/AP, etc sooner than October applicants with 2002 PD.
2. In the event of retrogression (say to 2005), only those applications which have a current PD at the time of visa approval will get the green card. So 2002 PD will get GC before 2006 PD.
I hope I understood correctly?

Hello everyone,
My H1B Visa Stamp expires on Feb 28, 2008 but I-94 has a date upto Mar 10,2008. Is it safe to travel to India and return on Feb 22, 2008 (Just 1 week before the visa stamp expiry)?
Please let me know.

All,
I filed the online application for EAD renewal on May 3rd and required documents were sent to Phoenix drop box on May 6th. I paid the fees using a credit card. The EAD application was returned on May 15th. Reason a signature is not contained in the signature box of the application or petition. A signature in the "Signature of person preparing form, if other than above" block is not a valid signature for this purpose. Please sign and resubmit the application with the appropriate fees. How do you sign a online application? Did I do something wrong here? The EAD application which I received back from USICS is the applicant copy. Should I sign on the applicant copy or reprint a new completed EAD form. For the fees should I just submit the previous document showing fees paid through credit card.
Any response will be appreciated.

IVians,
Need help on the following the questions.
Present status: Spouse (Wife) of a H1B holder (Husband) currently working on H1B.
1. If wife resigns (reason being pregnant and can�t work, FMLA is not an option) would she immediately loose her status as H1B? Would her status be H4?
2. Presently wife has SSN, bank account, credit card etc., so what would happen to those if she falls back to H4?
3. If she wants to get back to a separate similar job, would she be subject to new H1B quota for which she has to wait till 10/2009 � 11/2009 or her new H1B be a case of transfer?
Please share your experience/knowledge. Thanks.

We have an interview opportunity with a national TV channel. If you/anyone you know is interested, please contact Immigration voice.
could we talk about this rather than keeping on talking about Mr eastindia?
I would but I am not sure my story is the most compelling since EB3 ROW is by far not as bad off as EB3I or EB3C.
Whoever goes would have to leave anger at home though, I dont think anger will help us get through to people, emotion yes though?
Maybe we can figure out whos story would make the biggest impact and who is good at speaking, some might not feel comfortable doing thsi?
Thanks Pappu!

Hi everyboby,
I have question about the "deadline" to get non-profit job. Now I'm on OPT and looking for non-profit job. My OPT will expire on 1/14/2008.
Do you know how long will I get the H1-B visa after I apply for it? If my OPT is expired but the H1-B visa has not come yet (but applied for it), am I still legal to work?
My question is: if it take, for example, 3 months to issue the visa, and I still have not get a job on 10/14/2007, then I should give up and find a community college to get a F-1 visa, right? Am I correct? So, is there any "deadline" in my case?
Please give me some advices....Thanks!

i am working directly to the client, it's very big company and my immigration people told me it's randomly pickup one no need to worry.
i asked them is there any time frame and they mentioned no set of time frame for audit cases
Hi! is this true? they are approving cases randomly? what happen to FIFO?
I guess one has to pray for luck ! Is there no reason to worry? What if your case has been denied after 13 months of waiting , that's really bad luck.
Thanks for the info. by the way.

This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

Hi,
I have entered US on H4 and then I got my H1. I wanted to go to Mexico for my H1 stamping as I have to go to my home country and come back. When I saw my paystubs I found that the SSN number on my paystubs was not correct. I verified with my employer and he says it was his mistake.
Can we correct and regenrate the paystubs with correct SSN. Will these paystubs cause a problem for me during my stamping in mexico. I started working only 7 months ago and I do not have W2 till now. Please advice on how to deal with this.
Its not a big deal. I am surprised, why they even print SSN on your pay-stub. That practice is long gone, because of all the identity theft issues. I dont have my SSN on my paystubs.
Just ignore it....and if they ask, just say "Oh!! I didn't realize that...i'll have to ask the company HR to rectify the error..."

Dems know that the Immigration issue will bring them down in the elections, but they won't/can't do anything about it until elections are over ...
Now its very clear to me and all the IV is for EB as a whole. Now that EB2 is served reasonably well, if there is any action plan from IV on helping out EB (not just I or C, even ROW) then ... atleast if EB3 visas are not wasted, i'll be glad ...
