I don't know what's the point of posting such news here. There are fraud people everywhere and hundreds of fraud cases everyday . Should we start posting everything or is it your wish to malign Indians and give Indians a bad name. You seem to be no different from Grassley and company who seem to pick up 10 fraud H1b cases out of 100,000 and say that H1b is a big fraud.

Here's our situation:

Both of our GC applications were filed in EB3 categories, by our individual employers, independent of each other.

My priority date is Apr 2002. My 140 is approved and 485 was filed in 2007 and is currently pending.

My husband's 140 is also approved and 485 was filed back in 2005. His priority date is Sep 2003.

Is there any way now to link both our applications, so he can take advantage of my earlier priority date without him having to withdraw his 485 application?

Attorneys might have an answer based on their past experience. I believe it might be best to act by calling USCIS as soon as your PD gets Current. Note that they don't see files in sequence of PD's. They see them in sequence of filing. As your husband has filed earlier, it is possible that his file is seen first. Anyway, best seems to call USCIS as soon as your PD is current, and let them deal with it. It may not require withdrawing of 485, as it is just a case of reclassification from EB3 to EB3-Dependant.

Best..

I would love to, as it will help IV community also, but unfortunately it is not very easy in a company to request change of lawyer when the lawyer is good one. I see from many comments here that the Chugh Firm is a good one. And the employer also feels the same. So what grounds can I request them change their processes which they are following for nearly 200 employees. It will be hard. Cant even ask..

You are right. For a good lawyer, you should not ask to change, but for bad one for sure you should. I never questioned my company's lawyer who is from Chicago. The worst lawyer ever possible: never replied to email, never responded to phone and never communicated: what she was doing. She filed my case in EB3 without consulting me or my knowledge even (I had two Masters and international research) and I came to know about it many years later when I thought I could be getting green card any day and guess what i came to know that not from the lawyer but from USCIS.

where we should file a complain to DOL(state ot federal). Every state also has separate DOL e.g. VA has DOLI( department of labor and industry) but federal also has DOL(department of labor) where we should file such complain?

Thanks a lot I learned a lot here.

if you've benefited from the forum, please think about participating IV efforts. This campaign is working hard towards bringing relief to the EB community so that we don't have to go through H-1B extension/transfer hassles.

My case transfer status clearly indicated that it was transfered to TSC.

Query on Advance Parol. Send Clear Copies of Passports and I 94 Cards.
Question? Does I need to send all I 94 Cards of each H1B and all copies of passports with all pages.

I appreciate your suggestions..

No Finger Prints

Hi:
I filed on July 23, I-140 and 485 concurrent.
I got EAD on 5th Oct.
I had fingerpring done on OCT12.
Whne Fingerprinting was done, with 2 of my fingers, it gave message
Warning !!!!!!!! Matched (with RED color) . Rest all fingers, it displayed passed with Green color.
Does it mean it matches with some kind of FBI database and Do I need to worry about it?

Please help gurus. I have lost my sleep.

Thanks

is there any LUD update on ur i485

and maybe, get a few more puppies for the kids..nice idea. completely support it.

Nothing to worry. - It means that your case has been transferred to your local office.

i did it myself too..pretty straightforward..they hv all info on their website..

Hi Pandya,
Can you please provide their website link. I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Krishna

I had got an RFE on my 485 for a TB retest.

My lawyer suggested that i get the whole medical done again just so that they do not request any more tests as it had been more than a year.

On the other hand, my wife's medical was OK. so we did not have to do anything.

I think it is safer to get the whole medical re done if you got an medical related RFE.

Do you know why this rule was changed?

I believe if both parents are foreign nationals, and become indian nationals, their children are eligible for OCI, but children of Indian nationals by birth are not.

See, even the Indian Govt. discrimmintes against its own citizens. How can you blame the US government for treating us like horse manure.

"Jiska ghar mey samman nahin, uska kahin samman nahin"


I applied for OCI for my daughter some months ago and got approved
and got her OCI stamp and cards. Couple days ago a friend of me got
rejected. He was told that "if both parents are indian citizen child is not
eligible for OCI"

After I heard it, I talked to Indian Consulate SFO, and they told that
this condition is included recently. So whoever got OCI are good. ( I hope so!)

OCI is definitley better since you dont have to do anything after you get that. OCI does not need to goto police station and report in india etc etc.

thx

I need expert advice -

My I-140 has been approved and I-485 pending for more than 18 months. I have a valid EAD & AP. I also have a valid H1-B visa valid till 2011,
that I am using for my current employment with my current employer

1. If I get laid-off, how long can I stay in US without another job?
2. I understand that in order to maintain my eligibility to "port" to a new employer / sponsor under AC21, I should have another job in same or similar occupation. Till I find another job, am I allowed to do some part-time job in different occupation?

3. If new employer gives me the option to move permanently to its subsidiary in another country, what are the available option for me to continue with green card processing?

4. If after going out of the country , I want to come back in future before Green card approval, what will be the available options?

08/04/2006: Elimination of Backlog Labor Certification Applications: Feasible in 14 Months?

* The DOL authorities confirmed in San Antonio in June that the data entries were about to be completed by the end of June and mailing out of all the 45-day letters might also be completed by middle or within July 2006. The authorities also confirmed that traditional regular labor certification applicants would start receiving the recruitment instructions with their prevailing wage determination to accelerate the recruitment process beginning from later part of July 2006.
* For a while, the employers received en masse the 45-day letters in the mail, but lately it has slowed down for unknown reasons. Sources indicate that the initial schedule has been somewhat pushed off. However, the DOL website still promises that they will eliminate all the backlog cases in 14 months. The period of 14 months may be a long time for the immigrants but a short time for the agency to eliminate tons of complicated labor certification applications. This is particularly true in that as the elimination program approaches the end of the rope, the morale of the temporary workers that manage, operate, and process applications is expected to drop substantially.
* The late slow-down of the pace of processing of the backlog applications raises a misgiving that unless the agency works out a special procedure or device, they may not be able to reach the goal.. There are still tons of traditional applications that await a time-consuming supervised recruitment process and adjudication including audits. The c6nsumers want to see some speed-up action before we approach the year-end holiday season and work slow-downs.

We don't need a web based status check system for our labor it just might be another tack tick to further delay labor processing. We have waited so long some even more then 5 yrs and we know that our case is still in process ; we simply shouldn�t care if BRC create some stupid website or not to show that our case is still processing, as long as they keep their word this time and finish all pending labor processing by September 07

These are good suggestions. What can we do as a group ? Can we arrange a demonstration in DC ?
We are currently trying to work with the government and not go against it It might prove counterproductive. We as a group need to expand further. Strength is also in the numbers. While we are only 5550+ we represent half million people stuck in the greencard process. We need to reach out to all those people and get their support.

Each individual here on the forum pls. try to connect with your friends who also share our plight and urge them to become members.


Pls. post IV posters in your local grocery stores, temples and restaurants.
Poster is here http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=694

If you are an alumni of a US university, connect with your student organization so that they can post info about Skil Bill on their listserv. This bill affects all the US educated international students too and getting those students as members would strengthen our organization.


When you do something, please post it on the forums so that others can know and do the same.

have you talked to a lawyer. If i am not wrong you have also used AC-21. Do you think revocation/withdrawal of the H-1B, will affect 485 in any way.
