You can claim UI... I used the benefit earlier and the UI office was very helpful. It is insurance and a public burden. It would not be held against you in AOS adjustment. But again, I am not a lawyer so my opinion is strictly mine and should not be considered as legal opinion.....

I don't think your lawyer knows what he's talking about. All you need is your I-140 receipt. I applied for my wife on July 2 and used my I-140 approval notice. Did not even include the I-485 notice as the instructions did not ask for it. The simple solution is to go online and download the official instructions and figure out for yourself.

I got myself in somewhat of a mess here and wondering if there is any solution?

I filed for my I-485 on June 28th and it reached UCSIS on 2nd July. I wasn't able to do the same for my wife as she was in India at that time.

She is back now and I want to file her I-485 but my lawyer tells me I can not do that because it either needs to be filed concurrently with mine or they need to have a receipt for my I-485 which doesn't seem to be coming in the next few weeks.

Is there anything else I can do? Anyone has similar experiences? Will a copy of my I-485 filing do?

Thanks.

Does it mean that if she graduates before the I-485 is approved, she cannot work? Or can she accept employment on the green card EAD even though the I-140/I-485 are pending. What will be her status during that period?

My online 485 status shows "card/document production" for a long time now and I did not get the card yet. I had contacted USCIS several times thru lawyer and never got any reply. My lawyer said that could have been a mistake.

I finally called hte USCIS directly and got the reply from the Phone rep that my 485 is approved and will open a ticket to find out why my card has not arrived. After a week or so I got a letter from USCIS quoting my earlier call and said my PD is Jan'04 and currently the availablity is only for Apr '02 and I have to wait till the PD is current for case.

There was never an explanation about why my online status shows the card/document in production.

In this case, what are my options ? Please help.

Can't explain the kind of emotional and psychological trauma we go thru ever since we saw online status and subsequent messages from USCIS.


-Unlucky Dude

Online status is error prone and so, it is useless. USCIS is correct in its response that your priority date is almost 2 years away. Even if they had given you a GC by mistake, they would have taken it away after realizing the error.

Your best option may to port from EB3 to EB2, if a job is available and you are qualified.

good luck.

Dear Vatsa,

I'll tell you what it takes.

It takes strength, both in membership and money. And the former helps bring the latter.

Please help introduce a member to IV by Jan 15th. Help create our own voice (to break the annoying silence that you talk about).

Encourage others to participate in the Add ONE Member campaign started by IV.

Thank you.

Absolutely right. Join the Add a member campaign. We already achieved a minor goal of becoming 8000 strong way before the goal-date of Jan15th. But we really need to be 10,000+ strong.

For all RIR cases, they have gone through March 28, 2005 at least one iterations...They also have been approving cases randomly...
For TR it is still not clear.....They have started posting the jobs in america's job bank...

So it could be anything now...There is no set pattern at present...

There is speculation on immigrationportal that all 2001/02 cases would get through in March april ....

For more info use these trackers..if you donot know about them already...

What is Security Clearance?

who does it
when does it happen
what exactly happens during this process.
what exactly do they look for.
also
could you pls look into my case. any kinda advice is greatly appreciated.
here is the link to my case:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20055

--------Additional Information related to my case ----------

==========POINTED TO BE NOTED=================

1. Why extension was denied, what was in RFE?
venu_mk: RFE was due to
a. lack of documents,
b. they needed company no.of employers update info which uscis did not have on there record.
c. client letter
d. clearly defined path between employer and client relationship( had 2 vendors between them) I had to show contracts and workorders between each of them.

2. Did you get the approval for Company X after your apeal
venu_mk: appeal on denial case is still in process. what i heard after talking to different lawyers is it will take atleast 6 to 9 months of time. im still waiting on that.

3. Why are you still working with Company X,and when do you plan to join Co. Y
venu_mk: because i cannot work with company Y unless i get visa stamped.i talked to owner of company Y he said he wont generate pay stubbs unless i get stamped. One thing is i have applied I-797 from Company Y through CONSULAR PROCESSING. my lawyer says the same thing u cannot work on Company Y unless u get stamping done.

4. Are you going to get visa stamped with Co. X or Co. Y

venu_mk: Obviously with Company Y.

==========ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT MY CASE=============
On I-797 from Y it doesn't have I-94 number on it anywhere. since its through consular processing.
In order to work with Y, i have to get stamped first then only pay stubbs are generated

The result of the appeal is still pending....
one thing for sure that i have decided is that , I will only go for stamping AFTER my PIMS Verification is done in TIjuana, Mexico.

I'm pretty confused...
Please help me

With Thanks in Advance,
Venu

Hello, I have a question I hope someone is able to answer :)

Suppose my priority dates gets current for a certain month and therefore I apply for adjustment of status (I-485) and a EAD card for my wife (I-765). If the next visa bulletin retrogresses my priority date and it is no longer current, does that also freeze the I-765 processing, or would my wife get the EAD even if my priority date is no longer current?

Thanks.

If you do not file for EAD along with the I-485 application, you can apply for EAD at any time after filing the I-485. I filed my I-485 during the July 2007 rush but did not file for EAD at that time as my H1 was valid till June 2008. I applied for my EAD only in March 2008 - when my dates were not current - and I got my EAD after 50 days.

Hi Sir,

I have a question regarding H1B transfer and should I go premium processing or not?

Here is my case:

I was laid of from Company A (not consulting) last week. I have all my past pay stubs. That was total shock to me and got me off-guard.. It took me few days to find a consulting company B which is willing to transfer my H1B.

As any big company, A is quite prompt in sending revoke letter so I would assume they would be already doing it by now. Company B will be sending transfer papers tomorrow(Friday) or Monday.

My question is should I go with Premium Processing or not? I just dont want to take any risk where USCIS denies my case. Is premium processing going to help me here or not.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards.


Dont you think the PP will give you much faster results, peace of mind and you don’t have to wait anxiously for months...

I can not take infopass appointment as I don't have receipt number. Alos, I called up USCIS and they informed me that it is taking longer time for entry and so far they don't see my EAD and AP entries in their system. Although they have received I-485 which was sent along EAD/AP. I just wondering if anyone come across similar sitaution, also does it make sense to file EAD/AP again without any further waiting ?

Once you call USCIS on the 1-800-375-5283, try the following option sequence:

1-2-2-6 (key your 485's receipt number) -1-1 (listen to the case status) -3-4.

The last option (#4) enables you to get to an IO since you "filed a few applications together and think that some of them got seperated or lost".

If you already tried the above and it was not fruitful, please disregard this post.

As they just started I-140 premium processing, I wonder why they cannot initiate 3rd stage premium processing.

I wouldn't mind spending a couple thousand dollars if I can get the actual green card in a couple of weeks after starting the 3rd stage. Time is money. If I can buy it, I will buy it.

I don't think it is very constructive to repeat the same story to the congress, which they are not tuned to. We'd better make various suggestions from many different angles so that they can pick at least some of them in a timely manner.
The last stage is already messy when USCIS made everything CURRENT and everyone filed whether visa numbers are available or not.. Do you want to add more to it?

But your idea of various suggestion is encouraging.

She will get her EAD even if your priority date retrogresses in the next visa bulletin.
As far as I know, you don't neccessarily need to file EAD with your I-485. Once your I-485 is pending, you can file EAD anytime after that(irrespective of PD movement) but its always better to file them together.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

you are right, when you are eligible to file AOS, you can file for EAD (AP etc) as well.

Anyone has any idea? Not sure if they will be taking phone calls or its pre-recorded story but it will be good to have IV feature or at least IV agenda featured on NPR.

I have mixed opinion about that. Say, hypothetically she attends rally, then everyone is going to think that she is biased towards legal immigrants.
It would be better if people looks at her as a non biased person, her word is more powerful that way.

Its just my opinion.

Projecting her as our champion is a BAD STRATEGY at this point. It's not like she is emotionally very upset about our situation. As a Congresswoman and the chair of Immig subcmt she is investigating irregularities and wrongdoings at the federal govt. She also probably thinks immigrants have been treated unfairly.

We shouldn't make her the target of anti-immigrationists; could hurt her, and hurt us.

I think current mad rush is because of following reasons.

1) Atlease 35K new H1s filed because of H4-H1 conversions. This is because of retrogression and H4s waited longtime to work and so they are desparate to work. We can eliminate this if we have I-485 filing provision without visa number availability provision of STRIVE act. These people deserve it until there no solutuon to Retrogression.

2) 70K visas are filed by Offshoring/Outsouring firms firms. This is where the actual problem is. They won't send all of them whom they file. They will unnecessarily waste all these H1s after getting approvals. I know so many visas are wasted by Satyem, Wipro, TCS, Infosys, Accenture and all other offershoring/outsourcing firms every year.

3) 15K-20K by US educated students. These are deserved to file.

4) 10K - New H1s for real projects needed by clients. These are also deserve to file for H1.

So, here the problem is Offshoring/Outsourcing firms who are abusing the law by filing and not sending all of them. I can definitely say 85% visas filed by these firms every year are wasted and they won't send all these employees whom they file. They are using this H1 as seat reservation in a bus/train. They only send very few and waste so many visas every year. In all these firms, i know so many employees are having H1 stamped and waiting to come here. But those companies selects very few and send them here. If at all we need any reform in H1B, then it is here by not allowing H1s from these Offshoring/Outsourcing firms. Then everybody will be happy. These firms can use only L1 for their company needs so that H1 won't be abused.

Also, first point, we can solve by passing the curent version of STRIVE.

So, we need to oppose this new H1B reform and make to sure that Congress passes STRIVE act provisions.

Any thoughts from my friends?

I thought, 15000 members was a small goal. But I guess we have to start with even smaller goals. I agree with Amit.

There's too much at stake to give up this campaign. Without membership, we are a weak bunch. To fight organized campaigns by groups such as Numbersusa we need the member strength.

Let us aim for 8000 members by Jan 15th. Current membership stands at 7919. We need just 80 members to reach the 8000 mark. If 10% of the current membership brings ONE member by Jan 15th, we can easily reach that target. With 300000 immigrants in this kind of quagmire, cant we get 80 people? I believe we can.

Let's join hands one more time and try to Add just ONE member by Jan15th. It is for our own sakes we will be doing it, so let's do it!!!

Admins,
Please send out an email (monthly newsletter) to all members informing them about this campaign.

Thank you.
Neelu


Congrajulations to each one of you, we only need 37 members to reach 8000 mark. Last night we needed 80 members to reach 8000. So we added a good 43 members in a 18 hour period.

Just one point Slumdog -- You know, I have never seen anyone who rents, writing this kind of a story and justifying his decision. I wonder, why not? Why do YOU have to justify over here? Are you justifying to others or you are justifying to yourself?

You put too much stress on "quality of life". One can have a good quality of life in a small apartment.

I keep telling my wife that our apartment looks small only when she goes to department stores and shops like crazy. Our walk-in-closet is the nearest thing to a Black Hole. Mass density is so high in that area that pretty soon even light would not come out of it.

I strongly believe in "Simple Living, Hight Thinking". I can not say I implement it all the time, however, I try to keep it in my mind during my decision making process.

Slumdog, You have great writing skills.

Here is the reality: The thread is 2 years old and we have not had a group of motivated folks who could commit both time and money for this. In the last 2 years thousands have read this thread and have got greencard, but after getting greencard most people have different priorities in life. Writing posts on the forum asking IV to work on it will not get anything done on this issue. Nobody else will do anything unless those who seriously want to work on it commit their time and money for it.

They need to be going to fund raisers of lawmakers and contributing to election campaigns etc as a first step to lobbying. We need to see IV green card and citizen members doing this more regularly anyways to help others in line behind them and get more politically active.

Few things for GC holders to know:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Can non-US citizens contribute?

Foreign nationals are prohibited from making any contributions or expenditures in connection with any election in the U.S. Please note, however, that "green card" holders (i.e., individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S.) are not considered foreign nationals and, as a result, may contribute. For additional information, consult our "Foreign Nationals" brochure.

Read more : Foreign Nationals Brochure (http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/foreign.shtml)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here is how people can organize this effort:

If some green card holders seriously want to work on this issue, the first thing they need to do is form a team. Commit for a long term effort. This is not going to be an effort for a few month or days but will take several years. After you form a team, the next task would be gather as many people as you can who want to work on this issue and wish to meet lawmakers. You will also need start-up money to work on this effort. This effort is not as simple as fixing green card backlogs. If we are thinking working on this effort will be as simple as writing emails, then it will not be worth spending time. Be prepared to personally go and meet lawmakers in both your area and DC every couple of months. IV core team has been making trips to DC every month for past 4 years and only then we have been able to bring our issue in focus.

Citizenship rule change would change the INA and would require lot of support from H1B community, Greencard holders and citizens. It would require lot of funds too. Be ready to contribute your own funds (not hundreds but more than that to start) to run advocacy tasks. IV site is just a platform with a web-forum, but the real work that costs money is daily advocacy operations. Running is site is not expensive. Once the effort gains momentum, you can raise from IV forums from other Greencard members as a separate pool just like we did for FOIA.

At this time IV does not have the bandwidth or resources to work on this issue. Our primary focus is fixing greencard backlogs so that our members are out of the Greencard Queue. We started this organization for this purpose and we wish to finish what we started before we take on any new effort. Even though some core team members have Greencards, we are all committed to work on Greencard backlogs and will not work on other agenda items in our limited time. It will have to be a parallel team within IV that can work on this issue. IV team can guide as needed but we simply cannot divide our limited time and resources on a new effort.
Pappu,

I've sent you a PM. Please let me know. We are committed to follow the instructions of IV leadership to take this further.

All,

Please send me a PM to me join in this parallel effort. Lets collect a list of folks and organize a dedicated effort.

I fully second Pappu's comment as the current IV core leadership does not have time/$$ to spend on Citizenhip. Getting GC for all of us has and should be the first priority. Thanks to IV core and many of us fellow volunteers, their effort has paid off as things are moving decently fast for EB2 for now. Hopefully our fellow EB3 friends also see some hope in FY'11. As I was saying in the previous posts, many big corps have not filed for new labors in FY'08, FY'09 which should free up many ROW visas. This should help EB3 in the near future.

Congresswoman Lofgren on Visa Bulletin Debacle
Cite as "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 07071165 (posted Jul. 11, 2007)"


For Immediate Release: July 11, 2007
CONTACT: Pedro Ribeiro
202-225-3072, pedro.ribeiro@mail.house.gov

Rep. Lofgren Requests Written Response to Questions on Updated Visa Bulletin

Washington, D.C. - Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) today sent a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Chertoff requesting "all correspondence, e-mails, memoranda, notes, field guidance or other documentation relating to the issuance" of the "Update to July Visa Availability" on July 2, 2007. The letter contains thirteen separate questions and requests for information relevant to the issuance of the updated Visa Bulletin.

"The Department's unprecedented decision to reject adjustment of status applications has caused needless hardship and disruption to countless immigrants," noted Rep. Zoe Lofgren. "It has also come to my attention that USCIS began returning visa numbers to the State Department as early as Thursday, July 5, 2007, due to their inability to review applications effectively. The Department of Homeland Security has once again demonstrated its inability to complete even its core missions. This debacle demonstrates the need for more transparency and oversight of the department's operations and procedures."

The full text of the letter is included below:

July 11, 2007

The Honorable Michael Chertoff
Secretary
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528

Dear Secretary Chertoff:

On July 2, 2007, the Department of State (DOS) issued an "Update to July Visa Availability," which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) apparently relied on to suspend its acceptance of adjustment of status applications based on employment-based immigrant petitions. DOS and DHS acted on these matters despite my request that the agencies provide the Subcommittee with certain information before taking such actions.

At no point since my letter to you dated July 2, 2007, have I received any information in writing from the Department. Given this failure, I am now requesting that you provide to me, within three days of the date of this letter, the following information:

1. All correspondence, e-mails, memoranda, notes, field guidance or other documentation relating to the issuance of or the Department of Homeland Security's actions regarding the July Visa Bulletin, which made all employment-based immigrant visa categories (except the "other worker" category) current. The term "Department of Homeland Security" includes DHS or any component thereof.

2. All e-mails, correspondence, memoranda, notes, field guidance or other documentation relating to the issuance of or the Department of Homeland Security's actions regarding the "Update to July Visa Availability" issued on July 2, 2007. The term "Department of Homeland Security" includes DHS or any component thereof.

3. All correspondence, e-mails, memoranda, notes, field guidance or other documentation between the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, the Department of Justice and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigation relating to the availability of visa numbers for the month of July 2007, the issuance of or the Department of Homeland Security's actions regarding the "Update to July Visa Availability" issued on July 2, 2007, the processing of security or name checks in connection with visa number requests through the end of FY 2007, and/or the determination to suspend or reject the acceptance of adjustment of status applications. The terms "Department of Homeland Security," "Department of State," "Department of Justice" and "Federal Bureau of Investigation" include DHS, DOS, DOJ, FBI or any components of those agencies.

4. A detailed description of any existing or proposed understanding, arrangement and/or agreement between DHS (or any component thereof, including, but not limited to, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) and the FBI (or any component thereof) relating to name checks or other security checks conducted with respect to immigration applications or petitions.

5. A detailed description of how DHS and/or the FBI expect the processes for such name or security checks to change through the end of FY 2007, and, in particular, within the month of July 2007.

6. A detailed description, including, but not limited to, a statistical tallying, of all employment-based immigration cases, petitions, applications or other files for which DHS (or any component thereof, including, but not limited to USCIS) requested a visa number between May 2007 and July 2, 2007, inclusive, for which any name or security check was pending, uncompleted or otherwise awaiting action on a security or name check. (Hereinafter, such cases will be referred to as cases for which visa numbers were "pre-requested.")

7. The specific legal authority on which DHS (or any component thereof, including, but not limited to, USCIS) relied to "pre-request" visa numbers for cases, applications, petitions or other files for which security or name checks were pending, uncompleted or otherwise awaiting action. The response to this question shall include copies of the specific legal authority, including statutory provisions, regulations, field manuals, policy memoranda, policy guidance or other documentation relied upon, as well as the date or dates on which such authority was last revised or issued, the substance of any revision and the original text that was revised.

8. Any and all correspondence, e-mails, memoranda, field guidance, notes or other documentation discussing or referencing the agency's decision to "pre-request" visa numbers for which security or name checks were pending, uncompleted or otherwise awaiting action.

9. Any and all field guidance, e-mails, correspondence, memoranda, notes or other documentation discussing or referencing the agency's plans, policies or other proposed or expected actions in the event security or name checks for cases, applications, petitions or other files for which the agency "pre-requested" visa numbers are not or do not get completed during July 2007 or the remainder of FY 2007, including, but not limited to, whether the agency has proposed or intends to return, or has discussed returning, visa numbers for such cases to DOS.

10. Any and all correspondence, e-mails, memoranda, notes or other documentation between DHS (including any component thereof, including, but not limited to, USCIS) and DOS regarding the availability of visa numbers for June 2007, July 2007, or any remaining month of FY 2007, including, but not limited to, the anticipated numbers available during such months, the expected or anticipated usage of or requests for such numbers and/or the update, revision, restatement or alteration of the July Visa Bulletin.

11. Any and all records or other documentation (with a summary for ease of analysis) regarding historic patterns of overtime ordered for work on weekends, including specifically the weekend leading up to July 2, 2007, and the reasons in each case that prompted the overtime, for the past three years.

12. Any and all records or other documentation (with a summary for ease of analysis) regarding historic patterns of adjudication of adjustment of status cases, including a breakout for adjustment of status cases based on employment-based immigrant petitions, on a monthly basis for the past three years.

13. Any and all records, analyses, spreadsheets, related e-mails, memoranda, correspondence or other documentation evaluating the potential financial effects to DHS (or any component thereof, including, but not limited to USCIS) if adjustment of status cases eligible for filing under the initial July 2007 Visa Bulletin were filed before, on or after July 30, 2007.

Thank you for your immediate consideration of this very important matter.

Sincerely,

Zoe Lofgren
Chairwoman
Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship,
Refugees, Border Security & International Law

cc: Secretary Condoleezza Rice, U.S. Department of State

dohko, The point of satishku_2000's post was that all companies follow the similar business practices. It doesn't make any difference if it is TCS or IBM, Anderson or Infosys. They are all same bunch of people, just different names. So your repeated rant about "indian companies" is not valid any more. We have someone who worked for IBM for 8 years and got 2 pay checks on bench. So now, lets not squabble without any reason.

Exactly ,

No body is forcing any one to do any unethical things that applies for consultants as well as consulting companies. If any one does anything illegal they will meet the fate of Enron, Anderson or CA.

No one is forcing any one to work for a desi consulting company, If anyone does not like them they always have the option of choosing a new employer or leaving the country.

No company is going to pay for a consultant if consultant does not deliver what client wants.

Hope economy will be strong no one has to see tbe bad days of 2001 and 2002 which I have seen personally .

Just recently two american mortgage lendors have laid off people in Southern California without any consideration for immigration status. These companies have people of all kinds which include "US educated" and direct H1s and their green card applicaitons in various stages. All these people have to start all over again. I feel sorry for these guys.

All the guys thinking about H1b "reform" think twice before what you wish for.

Coming to DC will be a memory most of us will cherish... and for a really long time...

Whether it was working late or eating dinner at 3 am or running to meetings, it was an enriching experience for all IV members. And it makes us proud that we stood up & made our presence felt & voices heard...

We all knew each other by IV handles... but meeting in DC put names & faces to those handles...
Meeting each & everyone was amazing and even more satisfying was that people came from different states & with families & kids...

A li'l disappointed with the locals who didn't turn up though.... and more so with those who walked on the other side of the road from all of us....

This has become a ranting thread of EB3 folks. One simple question:

How many of you EB3 India folks who are complaining actually went to Washingtno DC last month for IV Advocacy event?

I hear it was not even 250 people. If you take out all EB2 people, so few EB3 people. This means EB3 people do not really want to do anything but after every visa bulletin come to the site and rant.

We in EB2 do not have much to worry. Our dates will move fast. But you EB3 had a chance last month and you blew it by not doing anything. So stop complaining.

What makes you think that there were no EB3s at the advocacy event and many of EB3s who did not attend contributed to the cause monetarily.....which apparently seem to be helping BE2. May be you should cut the crap and thank EB3s instead of bitching about it.

Called most of the listed numbers, most of them were aware of the phone campaign going on. Few of them insisted that they do not entertain calls from other states but the rest informed that they will convey the message to the representative.
People who are still thinking about calling, please call these congressmen now. This campaign is very important for us and we need to act NOW.
