I think we should start a Employer Hall of shame and nominate employers who are either cheating the employees or the Immigration system.
This will help future employees and the immigration community as whole.
I am not sure if there are any legal implication to starting something on IV on this

it is the experience after the MS that counts.
PS: Also, if someone takes 4 yrs to do MS when it should not (exceptions health-related gaps) take more than 2 to 2+1/2 yrs, red flags may arise.
No, they count MS REQUIREMENT FOR POSITION as 4 yrs toward total SVP time according to that doc link I posted. These 4 yrs include 2 for BS plus 2 additional for MS. It is how they count. Nobody knows or cares how long it actually took you to get MS.

easy my friend...easy,....breathe.
yes, retrogression will remain the same for indians and chinese.....its already pretty bad for the indians. retrogression will hit ROW harder as they are current right now....atleast for EB2. let feb or march 2008 roll around then its going to get worse.
you dont have to get upset....just sit tight and watch the drama unfold.
otherwise you're welcome to fool yourself.
And, would you mind explaining why would ROW get affected? If they were current all along, all the ROW candidates must have already filed, even before july fiasco, right? So, just exactly how do they get affected?
Sorry for the outburst, but I sometimes get tired of people just throwing out speculations :eek: as if they are stating facts. So, back up your statement with logic.

My wife did not say the real reason for embarassment, and also she did not think that serious that time. For me, I did not know the real reason until I was bailed out by my wife :(
DA knows that for them to win the case, they need your wife's statement on their side. And for you to win the case your wife will have to testify under oath. The attorneys are prepared on both sides to argue this case and examine and cross examine the case. Make sure you have a really really good attorney.
I hope you are telling the truth. If not why she didnt tell the police or you didnt tell police the real reason. Now the onus is on your wife to contact the police and DA and let them know the truth.

This strategy worked for lot of folks. But there are some States like CO where no DMV office understands our problem - NJ is not like that at all.
Good Luck !
My friend was in a similar situation last yr, He took his all his documents to Trenton DMV and they have given him 90 days extension.
Try that, Good Luck
Other Option is convert your H1 Extension to premium and get the approval before your H1 expiration date

I think what Godbless bought was Universal Life Insurance policy where the Company invests in Mutual funds etc. but that has lots of finance charges and hidden costs. Traditional Whole Life on the other hand has no such thing because by law the company can only buy bonds, govt securities and Mortgages only. Hence the return on Traditional Whole Life policies is low (5-6%) but they are safe and do not have hidden charges and infact insure you at a fixed cost for whole life hence the premium never changes and policy cost to the insured remains fixed while the cash value is an added incentive for the long term. It's like putting money in bank and earning some interest but having a life coverage at the same time for not just 20-30 yrs but uptil 98 years of age. I have a few family members who are insurance agents and they always recommend Traditional Whole Life if you have good income and patience to stay long. For all other folks Term is the best but note that when you retire at 60+ and have built immovable assets then to cover the risk for them you need to have some Life insurance policy and getting Term at that age is like walking on fire. Nobody gives Term after 65+ and even if they do so then the premium is very very hefty which can be a good turnoff.
So, it all depends on your priorities and situation. 95% of US Citizens / PRs with above average asset values & income buy Traditional Whole Life policy because they are living longer and working longer and building assets well into their 60+. Term provides good & cheap coverage for young people but only for max 30 years period. After 60 + people are in soup again without Traditional Whole Life coverage.

Getting Bernanke/media support will never be an alternative to IV efforts. They will, at best, complement it.
I stand corrected that we still need to send letters and faxes to Senators and Bush. But a little push from the Fed won't hurt IV's efforts, would they?

So here come the thing. Thats why i asked in my original post is IV just for people who have applied for Green card ? I wanted to know if they could address these issues as well . Regarding inability to work and self esteem , just stay in home for few days and then feel how much you loose. Man , its 21st century and ability to work is basic right.
First of all, IV is a grass roots org. I guess I dont need to tell what grass roots is. That means every one has to be a foot soldier in an effort. I understand that your problem is not the same as majority of the members here have. Thanks to IV on the VB fiasco. IV is not a share holder company that will give you results every Q. If you want accountability, you can find how the money is being spent. I guess some one posted it here very recently. Its publicly available on the net.
Based on my understanding, I can easily tell that IV has more than a full plate and neither funds nor grass roots efforts (there are few people who do the actual work. there are a lot who ask whether IV will do this or that. I guess they think every one else does the work than themselves) to push for H4's ability to work.
Oh wait a sec! While I have no issues with it, there will be a severe backlash on adding new workers. Again this is not my view. what you will get to hear if you go on the hill. Such provisions can be pushed when the economy is better and on a bigger vehicle such as CIR. In these times, just try not to get hit by Grassley & Durbin who will impose restrictions on the SC company you are working for. Imagine that!
While I agree that inability to work is a bad thing, I respectfully disagree that it causes a loss of self esteem. It results in a loss of self esteem when you have the opportunity to work, but you become a couch potato eating cheese curls and watching who wants to be a millionaire. You are encumbered by a stupid visa rule but not physically/legally encumbered to break out of it.
Obviously there are other things that are balancing or overpowering your spouse's inability to work, other wise you would be in Singapore or Canada or UKor where ever spouses are allowed to work.

I am one of those guys who are UNHAPPY about the freak mistake by USCIS to make everybody CURRENT. If this had happened two months later, I would have been fine (and somebody else would have been waiting to get married soon).
You wouldn't believe how happy I was that USCIS backed off their mistake and I thought I still had some time to get married. I know this is a little selfish, but, I wasn't gaining anything when USCIS made everybody CURRENT.
I-485 filed today anyway.

Hi,
The notice doesn't say that I-485 was denied. for I-140, it says notice of Automatic revocation. For I-485 it says Acknowledgement of withdrawl. It looks to me that my previous desi employer actually withdrawn the I-485 application and thats the reason it says the I-140 is automatically revoked.. But how can they withdraw my I-485 application ?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
did you file a new g-28? if not do that right away..maybe they denied accidentally
I think MTR will be successful in your case..it will just be a few anxious weeks...
Remember worst case scenario..go back to INDIA which I think is not too bad as a software engineer !! Cheer up...
DESI employers are the biggest dousche bags around..i have decided that I will not work for another desi

The e-mail sent to MSC with request to finalize the decision. I did not take any evidence, I did not know at that moment that I could. But it worked and I had my EAD after 7 days to be exact.

MSNBC message boards>Code of Conduct>Gut Check America>Employment Based (EB) Skilled Immigration Applicants board: (http://boards.msn.com/MSNBCboards/thread.aspx?boardid=1042&threadid=314286)
Since the beginning of this century, USA has been a leader in innovation, technology and products & services. In contrast, there is total inefficiency and red tape in government departments dealing with immigration (is it because '?them').
The immigration issues revolve around the DOL, UCCIS and DOS etc. They should grow and mature, showing efficiency and productivity. For that a new mindset is needed fortified with human resources and budget appropriations. My labor clearance was stuck in SWAs and backlog centers for 3 years. I talked to the SWA officer in charge in my state of CO. He said, this is federal work and there is no money appropriated.
Here is the showcase of how the USCIS works on legal ALIENS(from reliable Ombudsman report):
FBI Namecheck status (pg. 37 of the report)
As of May 2007, USCIS reported a staggering 329,160 FBI name check cases pending, with approximately 64 percent (211,341) of those cases pending more than 90 days and approximately 32 percent (106,738) pending more than one year. While the percentages of long-pending cases compared to last year are similar, the absolute numbers have increased. There are now 93,358 more cases pending the name check than last year. Perhaps most disturbing, there are 31,144 FBI name check cases pending more than 33 months as compared to 21,570 last year – over a 44 percent increase in the number of cases pending more than 33 months.
It is easy to see how border fence, employment verification, Border Control, DOL, FBI, USCIS will TOTALLY fail when you bring in 12 to 20 mil. I see no hope, eihter for anybody. No wonder, many are shouting at the top of their voices voicing strong objection.

I agree .. again :) .. that companies may not be too excited about the employees taking off for a few hours.
Can't we have something potent:
Say we have a page on IV that lists all the members with names, GC applied on, wait time to date, company working for. Accompanied by any info that makes this look authentic like SRC number .. or something (need not be displayed, but can be in database).
We could then get some graphs and statistics based on these figures and pass it on to lawmakers, other people who need to be influenced.
This way we have all teh facts .. rather than arbitrary data like:
"Today the system takes anywhere between 6-12 years to grant Green cards to some of the best and brightest of the world who have chosen America as their future home."
