This is the simplest Action Item ever, no travel, no holding placards, no visits to lawmakers, no real world activity. All that's needed is pen, paper, envelope and a stamp.I can't imagine anyone here who cannot afford any of these items.

Most members here will benefit here by 3 year EAD/APs, job flexibility and promotions. Members who missed the July VB boat, and new applicants, will get to apply 485 and get into the line. There was a hue and cry sometime back about restarting I-40 PP. Even that group stands to benefit as their demands are included too.

Hence the current low-level of participation is surprising. If we cannot collectively write even a letter for our cause, we might as well pack up or stop waiting/discussing VBs. They will be bleak for at least 4-5 years more. Come on folks, we can do better than this. We will write those letters and we'll succeed.

Write those letters and update the tracker. Your kids will thank you for it when they growup (all the money saved from 10 years EAD/AP can be turned into savings for them)

According to the 2005 memorandum, it was possible to change employers even if the 140 was not approved. But it was clear that an RFE that was not responded to, would deny everything.

Now it appears, they would require an approved 140.

hello

i dont know much about this pixel art thing, but I like the look of souls, its very realistic and full of atmopshere, wel done everyone

kate :love:

Actually, the numbersusa website makes mention of SA 2143 (John Cornyn) of HR 1585,(currently being debated) which according to them allows for recapture of unused EB visas from 1996 and 1997.

Dont know if it is true or not, they are encouraging their folks to lobby against it.

we need to focus our effort on the EB situation not on LOU DOBB...

Did anyone watch Fox News just now? How come the senator did not mention the inefficient process of adjudicating the applications?

I see everyone firing at each other (junior members, members, senior members, moderators and super administrators).
Here are my two cents to keep yourself calm, composed and dignified
1) Empathy will win friends and support
2) Sympathy you will have only when someone is humble and meek
3) If you lack both the society will ignore you


PS: In a fight the weak always get support, the big and strong are on their own. if they lose no one to cheer them up nor comforts.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you are the only one who can make your choice.



personally i would close this thread if i did not feel it was unfair to the orginal poster.... there has been lack of civility from everyside. One rude poster, against whom there were several complaints. but even after he departed, iv bashing continued, and the pretexts are amazing. "it's an open forum" sure it is "no one should ask for contributions" really? what's an open forum? i believe the rudeness of the requests hurts our cause, but he is member like everyone else and can ask people to contribute if he wants- albeit without personal attacks which are against the forum guidelines.

btw there is a difference too between just contributing money and contributing in general. but one takes money the other takes effort and no one can apparently spare either!

there are 22,000 + members. everyone needs to understand that such a forum has all kinds of people and responses. grow up people, have a thicker skin and deal with it. no moderators or the forum has "abused" you. further it amazes me to hear that regulars who spend a ton of time on tracking threads claim to not know the organizations goals (on the front page!!) and want the core team to come explain. if the core team spent time trolling tracking threads to do that and police every piece of rude talk there would not be a forum. because...the forum only exists as part of a grassroots organization that is fighting retrogression. after the flower campaign and san jose rally, after july 17, if you are still "waiting" to be convinced, well congress is not waiting, the election cycle is not waiting and certainly retrogression is not. so maybe...if we fail...let's all wait...till 2013 as the democrat leader says...for any reform...will that be enough time to convince people living in NJ to ride up to DC and stand up for themseves?

EB2 I : 5-Mar-2005

I haven't posted anything so far...hopefully my predictions comes true :-)

This is a wishful thinking. Since there is a lot of pending cases for March...clearing March logs will take time. We have to expect a baby step unless a miracle happens.

current count 260.Great job everyone.I was chatting with few friends casually and mentioned this. Four of them also have voted. If we can hit 300 by end of the day today, that will be pretty impressive. As someone said, even though this might seem very insignificant but spending 3-4 minutes is definitely not going to hurt us.

Keep it up..

You did not read it carefully. The person actually NOTIFIED the USCIS about AC21. However, USCIS failed to record it.



That's was his/her problem. If the person have not notified the USCIS about the job change, everything would've been fine :) I am not going to argue with you. If one of hundreds thousand cases had an issue, it does not mean we have to rush and file AC21 every time we change a job. That will just create more work for the USCIS and increase our chances for RFE/denials. That's my opinion. You are entitled to yours. BTW, I changed jobs and did not file anything. No problems.

Received 1 year EAD.....though PD is not current!

EB3-I.

EAD Card production ordered as of 8/19.

E-filed: 7/11
Receipts: 7/18.

No Finger printing notice received. This was at NSC. Mostly will get 2 years EAD as my PD is nowhere near to current but will update everyone for sure once I receive the cards!

For AP renewal, do I need to send photos by mail again? I thought USCIS uses the picture on file. Folks please correct me if I am wrong. Could some one PM me the letter format?
Appreciate your help
Yes. Send 2 photos with your name and alien # written on the back.

I agree that labor belongs to the company, but I paid all the fee for the same. They can always use that, but they are not supposed to screw up me In this case, they didn't talk to me and told me that my 485 was applied, which turned out to be a lie.

Well..they lied to you..that is good enough in this country to sue them.

If you want to whip their a** dont think what reason should you go with, take whatever comes to you.

Also post the company details so that fellow desis wont become prey..

Thanks for contacting IV with your SOS.
An IV core member is going to be helping you to fix this with USCIS. Let us know if you need help. He already tried contacting you yesterday.

As IV grows maybe this is a help IV can extend to all its donor members and help them if they get in such extreme distress situations. This is one of the ideas we are thinking for our members in the donor group.



+1. That is fantastic.

Hi folks,

Need some help.
During e-filing of AP, certify page has a TITLE field. Any ideas what needs to be filled in it ?
I am filing I-131 for myself and spouse.

Thanks

Sorry Guys to post this question here....little confuse about category....please guys help me to find where can I see which category I applied...EB3 or EB2?

Many Thanks
RajWaitingon140

was it EB2 or EB3?

It was EB2. The vast majority of the CA's we show equivalent to a US bachelor's degree. However in this case since it is officially recognized as a PGD a professor felt it was equivalent to a US masters and USCIS agreed. As a rule I would say CA=BA + 5 years work exp is a better way to go for EB2.

Over 60% of the US and 90% of Arizona supports the law they passed.
The same 60% or more people in the US support the cause of solving the immigration system.

Obama and his Attorney General are doing the wrong thing by interfering with state politics.
As for the Arizona law, immigration issues fall under the federal jurisdiction - so it is the State that is interfering with the fed agency.

How can these high ranking officials tell state law enforcement NOT TO enforce laws?
The Fed is going after the law itself - and arguing on its unconstitutionality. Enforcing a law that is unconstitutional is not right

The Supreme court will favor AZ even before the case starts. Slam Dunk.
Lets wait and see!!

Optimystic,
Are you working for same company since 2001 or you invoke AC21, Can you please share us the detail of RFE (if you can).
thnx

I don't know if my NC is cleared. Tried to find it couple of times calling over phone but always ran into unfriendly IO officers.

Got out of BEC in dec 2006, I140 cleared in Jan 2007 but then my PD became current only in June 2007. And due to laziness of my law firm, my I-485 filing did not happen in June and got dragged into July 07 mess.

I think if USCIS had initiated my Namecheck as per normal timeline (sometime around when my I-485 filed , i.e anywhere between July - Sep 2007), then yes, I think it crossed 180 days long time back.

Expedite request approved yesterday. Hopeful.....

how did you expedite?

I agree with you. It's not required by law to file any AC21 papers so the USCIS cannot do much. Also, the green card cannot be revoked after 5 years so by the time you apply for citizenship, the USCIS cannot do anything bad to you. Worst case, they will ask about it during the citizenship interview so it's a good idea to keep your employment offer handy. But it's very unlikely and I really doubt they can deny your citizenship based on this. That's why I see no drawbacks in not filing AC21 and no benefits in filing it if you know that I-140 won't be withdrawn. My advice would be to take an employment letter from current employer and keep it in case the USCIS asks for it. There is no need to cause troubles for yourself by letting the USCIS know about it.

Thanks for explaining this clearly. 2 Questions:

1. If you use EAD and don't file AC21 and assume your I140 is revoked and USCIS wrongly denies I485 based on the I140 revocation, will you be on legal status while you fight the USCIS ?

2. If you do file for AC21 and switch jobs, if you happen to change jobs again, do you have to file for AC21 again? Does this need to happen everytime one switches jobs?
