On your previous post you mention about salary hike and %ges...can you please clarify if a person continues to work for same employer (who filed PERM and 140) and salary hike is (base salary or bonus) 10% or more per year and AOS application process takes 2-3 years (so, total 30% difference in 3 years)...is that a negative on your application? or can it be a reason for denial?
Thanks
Rahul

This is an excellent question Rahul. I have tried my best to find a definitive answer to this question. Different experts/lawyers have given different answer to this question. So I am not sure if salary hike at the same employer would hurt AOS application in anyway. On the face of it, it should be a no brainier and we would like to hear that. Most of the times, we all want to hear our lawyer give us a specific reply, so even if they lawyer is telling us something which doesn't directly imply what we want to hear, we still think that that the lawyer is telling us what we wanted to hear - "selective hearing".

But some lawyers have told me that substantial salary increase (30% in 3 years can be seen as substantial) could be a problem at USCIS. They could argue that the job/job requirement/job responsibilities have changed substantially as there is a substantial change in the wage rate offered. So it’s a grey area. In effect, system is designed to keep us where we are till the time the green card petition is approved. I realize that this doesn't provide a definitive answer to your question and sorry about that, but this is as much as I could find out about the specific question.

Just sent Fax #11 too

Hi eb3retro,

I see that your PD is Jan 2003. Mine is Mar 03. I thought I would ask you about your opininons.

So, do you think we will get our GC in 2009?

Do you think it would be better to move to EB2?

Thanks for your inputs.

hi, personally i am looking for a chance to move to eb2. Being in eb3-I is as good as u will never get ur GC,or by the time you get ur GC, u would have lost your time and patience to live in this country anymore. follow your instincts..

When they ask 245i (April 2001 Deadline) people to submit the application for legal status (Labor.. i-140 ..etc) why didn't they also create the VISA Number for them?
It's legal immigrant taking the hit because of illegal immigrants.
They should define completly different path and laws to make illegals to legal.

Agree?

Looks like this needs correction.Labors expire after 180 days from approval date after July 16th.

http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/pdf/fraud_faqs_07-13-07.pdf
Read on page 4

Labor certifications approved on or after July 16, 2007, will expire 180 days from their date of issue, unless filed prior to expiration with the DHS in support of a Form I-140 immigrant petition for an alien worker.

Here is some thing i got through googling, though a poor choice but worth to post (http://www.happyschoolsblog.com/h1b-visa-stamping-us-consulates-delayed/).

As i remember , i read a north indian chap 15 years of experience and has phd, stuck in chennai or mumbai on security check, trying to find the article.

Guys,

Any update on your FP notices yet? am still waiting. Did any one of you file DHS 7001 for ombudsman inquiry?

Thanks and good luck.

I have mailed asking for the meeting info. I will meet the local lawmakers.

Arun, I will PM you. I am ready to go with you. I am from Northern California.

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

I think signature is not getting displayed here.

PD:- December 28 2004 EB2-I
140:- Approved on 01/31/2008

If this is true, how come CIR is one of the main agendas of democratic party. Also remember hispanic votes were a deciding factor in the last election. GOP acknowledges that. Moreover voters demographics has changed since last election. Electorate is comprised of higher percentage of forward thinking younger generation.

IMO anti-immigrant racist voter percentage will be on decline in coming years. So democrats/gop is better off catering to the likes of this younger generation.

Actually it is like the "Gareebi Hatao" (translation: Remove Poverty) slogan for the Democratic party. Something to be used in certain districts for election only.
Just like Gay Marriage issue for Republican party.
In fact Rahm Emanuel (key strategist of the democratic party and one of the people credited for the success of the Democratic party in the election) said immigration
is the third rail of American politics.

It is the independent voters that decide a election, not the core democratic(ultra liberal) or core republican(ultra right wing) supporters. Passing an CIR will piss off
a significant portion of these independents and will create a swing against the Democratic party. A very small swing can create devastating losses in the swing
states.

The immigration issues is in a factor in the 1st generation Hispanic community whose parents are illegals.

Even the younger generation wants illegal immigration control.

I have nothing against lawyers, most are hard-working and smart. But that smartness also makes them confuse others and ultimately its the clients who have to pay for the smartness of the lawyers.

I am totally against that.

making a living is one thing, but talk about confusing people and milking them for the money !!!

Nice coverage by immigration-law on Gandhigiri:-

07/08/2007: Massive Flower Send-In Campaign by Indian Community in Spirit of Mahatma Gandhi's Nonviolent Protest Against the Injustice Involving Visa Bulletin Fiasco

The East Indian community has been engaging in an interesting campaign sending a massive bouque of flowers with a message of protest to the leaders of the USCIS and the State Deparment, including Mr. Emilio Gonzalez, Director of USCIS and Dr. Rice, Secretary of Department of State relating to the ongoing Visa Bulletin commotion. Indians are the primary sources of foreign high-tech workers and the country's much needed sources of brains for the businesses and the employers, and it turns out that the current Visa Bulletin fiasco has hit most them and their U.S. employers. Considering the fact that the Congress sidelined foreign legal workers and brains as a backburner issue in the ill-fated CIR, the current Visa Bulletin fiasco appears to add the heat of outrage to the Congress' unfair and unjust treatment of the legal immigrants by leaders in this country. OUCH!

Have they mentioned it on their website? Usually DMVs like CT etc.. mention on website that they need a Employment verification letter, as a matter of fact, they don't even accept paystubs they just want employment verification letter.

Folks - my advice is : Please do not argue with the department. Ask them to post their new requirement on their website so that you don't go there and get disappointed.

Probably you are right. But the issue is not the country limit!!!!!!!!

Take example EB3, how you think will look like EB3 on the next visa bulletin without country limits. EB-3 probably will be June 2002.:eek:

You are saying that because you are from ROW.
I would be delighted since I am from EB3-I. That is what is unfair about this country cap. You probably filed your GC in 2009 and is already impatient. Think about people who came to this country in 2000 or before still waiting for their GCs.

Some of them has aging out kids who will lose their eligibility because of this long wait.

Hi,

Sorry i updated under the wrong thread.

ours was a paper filed on July 2nd. Card was mailed on 08/07/08. Still waiting for it to make it to the mail box.

I have not recieved any FP notice yet. Surprising I also saw a soft LUD on AP when care production got ordered for EAD but no updates on AP or FP yet.

Hope that helps

Oye
Chakdepatte.

India was demanding latest fighter jets (F-22) but US can offer only old version F-16,F-18 to India. Basic reason for US denial to latest technology because of India -US relation and their status .US only offers new technology to its close allys. I think it was prudent move from India�s part to get latest and greatest technology. To get these new technologies US congress needs to pass law and define India as close ally.


F-22 is newer version of F-18/F-16??

F-22 is Air superiority Aircraft and India is seeking Multi-Role Combat Fighter!

Whatever you are smoking dude seems real good stuff! Pass that sh1t over here!!

Hi All,

Looks like there are interpretation issues for few IV members (I'm not against to any member or isolating any one).

However, I have noticed interpretation issues in understanding a thread / posting for few members (based on their reaction).

The way RED dots are given really pinches to the posting owner.

My GC has been approved and I have not married yet. So I have posted my issue on thread and seeking helping from fellow IV members. I have received nice responses. I also have noticed the following comments on my control panel.

Looks like, some members have serious interpretation issues. They all gave me RED DOTS.

I really don't understand, why some one behaves like this when some one else has a real problem


1. Not married yet. GC... 08-07-2008 07:05 PM GC and still complaining! great!
2. Not married yet. GC... 09-24-2008 11:13 AM parying god won't help
3. Not married yet. GC... 09-27-2008 09:43 PM backdating ur marriage date is illegal.


Not only to this thread, I have been noticing since a year, few members comments are terrible. Those kinds of comments would not help and Demoralize fellow IV members.

Some of them reacts and attacks the original thread poster. The answer posted would not even related to what original poster has asked for?. Don't know what people understand and what they post.

May be, we have to do some thing in this cases.

Ps: This is con traversal topic, See how others react based on their interpretation .

You can't fix everything. Be ready for both.

Here are some ways to handle this:

1. Take it easy (Long term solution)
2. Don't click on the "UserCP" link (Short term)
3. Take a break from IV for few weeks (Short term)
4. Open few threads and give reds left and right for 5 people (Immediate relief)

We need someone to youtube this and help with the media campaign!
Can someone record and post this....?
