A Bad Deal Gets Worse (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/05/opinion/05sun2.html) August 5, 2007

President Bush is understandably desperate for some kind of foreign policy success. But that cannot justify sacrificing his principled stand against weapons proliferation to seal a nuclear cooperation deal with India. The agreement could end up benefiting New Delhi�s weapons program as much as its pursuit of nuclear power.

The deal was deeply flawed from the start. And it has been made even worse by a newly negotiated companion agreement that lays out the technical details for nuclear commerce. Congress should reject the agreement and demand that the administration, or its successor, negotiate a new one that does not undermine efforts to restrain the spread of nuclear weapons.

Any agreement needs to honor the principle Mr. Bush set forth in 2004: that countries do not need to make their own nuclear fuel, or reprocess their spent fuel, to operate effective nuclear energy programs. The technology can be all too easily diverted to make fuel for a nuclear weapon.

Unfortunately, Mr. Bush�s accord with India jettisoned that essential principle. Washington capitulated to India�s nuclear establishment and endorsed continued reprocessing. And while United States law calls for nuclear cooperation to end if India detonates another weapon, the agreement makes no explicit mention of that requirement � while it promises that Washington will acquiesce, if not assist, in India�s efforts to find other fuel suppliers.

Bringing India � which never signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty � in from the cold is not a bad idea. It is the world�s most populous democracy, with a dynamic economy. And its record on nonproliferation � aside from its own diversion of civilian technology to its once-secret weapons program � is pretty good. The problem is that the United States got very little back. No promise to stop producing bomb-making material. No promise not to expand its arsenal. And no promise not to resume nuclear testing.

The message of all this is unmistakable: When it comes to nuclear proliferation, Washington�s only real policy is to reward its friends and punish its enemies. Suspicion of America�s motives around the world are high enough. America cannot afford another such blow to its credibility, especially when it is trying to rally international pressure against nuclear programs in Iran and North Korea.

The administration will argue that altering this agreement now would be a slap at India. But there is no good in compounding a bad deal. And there are better ways to deepen political and economic ties.

Congress accepted the administration�s arguments far too uncritically when it approved the first India-related nuclear legislation last December. It must now take a stand against the even more damaging companion agreement. At a time when far too many governments are re-examining their decision to forswear nuclear weapons, the United States should be shoring up the nuclear rules, not shredding them.

My case is similar to you. I mentioned as "AOS". I got a confirmation email about my change of address.

This was quoted on Numbers USA site -
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is still holding hostage E-Verify reauthorization legislation in the Senate until he gets 500,000 additional permanent foreign worker visas. These are simple "skilled" visas, where an individual doesn't need any specialized training or education (other than two years of college). As such, the legislation would keep a half-million Americans out of work. Senate leadership is considering taking up the E-Verify reauthorization bill today before members depart for summer recess, so Senators are negotiating with Menendez in order to reach an accommodation.

Is there any direction from Members on this.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")


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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

Does anyone understand what they mean by "Applicants entitled to immigrant status become documentarily qualified at their own initiative and convenience."

Does it mean that ppl file I485 at their own initiative (but thats not true since we cant file it until numbers are available), or does it mean that we should call USCIS and pester them and ask them "Is my application documentarily qualified ?"

Is that the same state as "preadjudicated" ?

Isnt it weird that AOS is the last group of people who get assigned numbers ? "CIS requests visa allotments for adjustment of status cases only when all other case processing has been completed."

Does Lawyer receives AP and sends it to us OR does applicants receive it?

I haven't received AP yet. got EAD/FP/notices.

cheers
Iad

You do not need to open a new tread to ask this. There is a tread about AP trend

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14005

Some lawyers receive the AP and sometimes the applicants. I do not know WHY?????

Hello all,

I applied for I485 + I150 in June 2007 under EB3. My I-140 is still pending.

Employer used a preappr labor with PD of May 2005. However, the lawyer gave me only the ETA 750B portion of the labor to fill

Now, from some forum I found out that PERM was started in March 2005 and the form was 9089 to be used for labor after march 2005 filings.

So, how did my employer file my labor using ETA750B part which was applicable for old labors since my PD is May 2005 which is after the PERM?

Lawyer and Employer are not willing to help, hence reaching out.

The company can apply for her H-1B on or after April 1, assuming she is subject to the cap. She will be cap-subject if she has never held H-1B status before, and if your company is not cap-exempt. Assuming she and the position meet the usual H-1B requirements, it should be approved for a 10/1 start date.

On mar 12th I got a query on I-485.
It says.

The Documentation submitted with your application and/or a review of service records indicate that you no longer reside in the same state or geographical location as the underlying form i-140 immigration petitioner and /or job location specified by your intended permanent employer.

There fore submit a currently dated letter from your original form I-140 employer which which address this discrepancy.

I filed my labor and I-140 I was in california, i moved to different state since I filed my 485, till now I am with the same employer.

Any gurus who can suggest me on the query would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

It means Advance Parole. You will be eligible to apply for AP if your application for adjustment of status is pending with USCIS, and you need this document to re enter the US from overseas travel.

might be a simple question for u guys..
i have been reading in immigration articles abt AP document..
wht does an AP document means?\
thank u guys

Today I rceived someone else's EAD. We received three EADs, one each for me and my wife and another adressed to me with EAD inside being some one else's.
Weired ways of USCIS!!!!

I shall call USCIS and notify them of this.

You have to renew your Donarship. Due to some probelm with IV Site, there is a problem.

Check your mails from IV or IV admins.

I'm on Eb3 and have my I-140 cleared.
I'm planning to switch jobs .. so I can get on Eb2 and use the priority date of this I 140.

What info do I need to pass to my next company if I want to use this priority date (Filed in July 2002)?

The Brookings Institute's Darrell West has authored a new book entitled Brain Gain: Rethinking US Immigration Policy which makes the case that comprehensive immigration reform is critical to keeping the US competitive in the 21st century global economy. From the Brookings description of the new work: Many of America�s greatest artists, scientists, inventors, educators, and entrepreneurs have come from abroad. Rather than suffering from the �brain drain� of talented and educated individuals emigrating, the United States has benefited greatly over the years from the �brain gain� of immigration. These gifted immigrants have engineered advances in energy, information technology, international commerce,...

:confused: I couldn't log on for 5 minutes and then when I finally did - most of the latest posts have dissapeared?

I transfer my H1B to company B and works for company B. Now suppose if I want to go back to company A after six months and want to work for company A, does the h1b transfer required? (means, does company A requires to file whole h1b petition again?) Here my petition (I-797) with company A is still valid. And suppose if I want to go back to company A after 4 years, at that time my petition (I-797) with company A might be expired, does the company A requires to file new petition (tranfer) or just the extension?

Already answered where you posted it elsewhere on this board

My mother is a GC holder since 91. I came to US in 2002 on F1 and then H1 and now GC.

Will the fact that my mom was a GC holder and I did not use that impact my GC? I have answered all the questions correctly(true i mean) always.

Please answer.

Thanks,
Jo.

Nope, it should not.

I think it will be taken care automatically, ( since your A number on I 485 and new I 140 will be the same )

Thanks

So, you think i wouldn't have to file a new I-485? and USCIS will automatically look at my old I-485?

Thanks
