What does he mean by lengthy phase-in period?

Hello all,


it used to be that I would look forwared to the dat DOS cam out with their bulletin, hoping that one day i will be current. that day came last month when i became current. Happiness lasted for a few days, only to realize that those dates means nothing unless your processing center is current as well.


I am from Texas, so the dreadfull TSC is the center processing my application. Last date is march 15, and i am assuming they dont follow the same pattern as DOS, that is to say updating their bulletins every month on a specific date. I am also assumin that their date usually move in increments of days rather then monts, like DOS is doing now days. My PD is August 2005. That leave me 4 months or so before anyone starts to work on my case. I have seen a couple of have been called for interveiws with PD around same time as mine. I dont see any changes on my RD message either. It still sayd, we recevied blaha blah... Generic message letting me know they have gotten my case.

What do you all think when the date usually change. Since I am current, my day to look foward is not on DOS websiter, but USCIS website, hoping that they get to processing Auguts dates soon. I am afraid that DOS might retrogress again, and my current PD will beceome thing of the past.

Good Morning.

sledge hammer:

can you explain if the new labors being cleared in the BEC centers (approximately 150K are still pending) are from 2001-2003?

In 2003, there should be a demand of 23% of 300K (couting spouses)=69K. Total visas are about 140K per annum. So there should be some movement. i dont understand why there will be no movement.
From the numbers, I had kinda thought in Feb that it was very surprising EB-2 India was not moving, and seems like I was right.

Anyways, I hope we all continue to move :)

If this is true it's really horrible and scary that this gov. agency is handling our applications.


It sounds like it's true. Man! I just wish somebody holds them accountable for this. Despite all efforts from DOS to not waste any more numbers by making all categories current, USCIS still wastes them. Shameful! USCIS should be completely rehauled.:(

hi beuhler....if i understand your reply correctly, you meant that as long as there is proof that your marraige date(marraige certificate) is prior to gc approval notice...there is 6 months to file for the i485 for the wife even though she may be in india at the time of marraige?

Hi Ram,

Thanks for your reply. But i heard like the policies which are signed india are valid in USA becoz of the mutual countries agreement. I did actually visit an attorney and got to know from her that it is probably something that wipro might not take (action against me) but she did paused and told me that USA will of course will honor any policies that were signed in India because of bilateral agreement.

Regards,

What is this "Indian-American" animal? I still can not understand that term

Hello
Can we a contact Indian/American organizations who can lend us support.
1. Today I read news wherein an organization of Indian Businessmen,Lawyers.Doctors are organizing fundraiser for Hilary Clinton. They are giving lot of money for her campaign. These people already have contacts with number of senators. They can help us in our cause at different level.
The Chairman of the organization in the news article Sant Singh Chatwal is a known hotilier in US.

2. US-India Business Council is another such forum we can consider. Rediff has a news article wherein they are asking congress to increase H1s and make green card process easier. They have mentioned an address in Washington D.C
H St, Northwest headquarters in Washington, DC.

http://www.rediff.com/money/2007/apr/13visa.htm

This is an interesting article. My younger brother works for Wipro in India. He has a H1 Visa and work permit for U.K. He highly prefers London to US for several reasons. Firstly, he saves more money there (it used to be other way round a while back). Secondly, if he gets married, she won't be stuck at home for lack of visa... Currently he is here in US temporarily but when he goes back to India, he is going to ask for a longterm project in UK. Certainly doesn't want to come here on a longterm project. More importantly he doesn't want to settle permanently anywhere except in India.

I feel bad for getting stuck in this country. My wife is a doctor and her prospects anywhere except in US are very dim. But if I would have been married to an IT girl, I would have strongly persued oppurtunities else where. World is big and for IT folks oppurtunities are abundant everywhere...

H1 doesn't get invalidated on a 485 rejection, even if it was approved beyond 6 year based on the pending 485. You just may not be eligible for another extension.

if your I485 is denied, all applications/extensions based on your Adjustment of Status also expire.

Pappu - Thanks for your reply. I completed my profile. I thot it was already complete. But filled out reamining fields.

But first update your profile. ONly then NY chpater will be able to help you.

As far as my understanding goes, EB1/2/3 is fairly recent, 15-20 year pehnomemon. As such getting examples of people who have been extremely successful post getting the visa is going to be difficult. Even for Harvard reunions, usually it is only at the 25th reunion (among a few thousand people) that you have some very successful people, in a 10-15 year span, getting extremely successful(to have your name in newspapers every other day) is like a 1 in 100,000 chance. Even with EB1s.

No they did not book any charges against me..How could they that? We did nothing illegal. It is just the whole episode took place ..It has shaken me and my family.
I donot know any lawyer.. Moreover, I am not sure whether it is advisable to go to a lawyer or not... not sure how major the issue is for them..
Moreover, will this affect my Green card process if I start suing these govt. people?

I am just confused...

All,

I have filled I-485 in 2007, PD is June 2006, EB2. I went to India and came back using my AP on 07/16/2008. I was working for the same company when I came back. I have changed my employer in April, and haven't filled for AC21 yet.

Can you please help me with following question?
My Question is: Will it be Okay to travel using Advance Parole after changing employer and not filled AC21? If anyone traveled like this, Can you please let me know what documents do I need to take with me?

H1 stamping on passport doesnt matter. copy of H1 approval + I94 and employment letter will be fine.

>> Will there be any problem in visa approval for parents

this is million $$ q :) .. it depends on several factors,including the mood of the officer, other than documents.

But one of the most important thing i learned(my parents got rejected even with plenty of valid docs) is that, how the parents 'express' their indent to return is very very important.

it is like the job interviews here, there will be one or 2 questions.. You got to tell all that would sell you, regardless the scope of the Q..

Same for this interview.. For eg, they have 2cr worth investments and 5 laks pension and old parents leaving with them and a son/daughter to get married and so and so things to take care backhome... think of every possible thing that require them to be in india. any documents to support these claims may come handy.. but not to worry if not available.

nothing to worry, but preparing for this will defenitly help.. wish all the best for them to get visa.

Excerpt from Gregs blog and comments :(



"Things are going SOUTH . No agreement and No relief.
Class action is the only option. USCIS just wanted to test the waters and now they don't want to settle. Every thing else is just rumor mill. Every one who claimed to know the insider info was just taken for a ride. Welcome to beltway politics 101."


Guys take it for what it is worth. I am off to work.... :)

hi, thanks for info. But one more question. Yes, now and then a date in Oct' 2006 is showing up. But, it will take time to fill all the forms after i proceed. What are the chances that i will get that date when other people are competing in real-time? Please post a reply.

company A applied for my GC. They cant provide me jobs.
I am working with company B as a contractor (corp to corp with company A and B).. project will finish in a month. already did not work for 12 months even though my I-485 is pending with company A.

now company B offered me to work perm with them by using EAD. while my H1b renewal is pending with company A.

can I work with B while A is still my sponsoring company.
my Q is once h1b approves lets say in a month and renewal for 1 year( can I work with B with EAD for like another 6-8 months and then go out and reenter for H1b with A?

So, once you have finished the security check, your I485 is approved, unless CIS wants to interview you. You said only a small percentage, wow, I hope I don't get called for interview.

How long did you wait after your biometrics to get your 485 got approved?

There were twobiometrics. One was with initial application (probably Nov/Dec 2005) and another was in May 2007 when the first one expired (FP is valid for 15 months).

First of all, everyone on this forum knows that Bush was never the obstacle for skilled immigrants - his restrictionist partymen in congress are the problem. So what purpose does this story serve and how in the wide world is this "promising"? We have been hearing such "promising news" for the last year now with nothing actually happening.

TOI makes it sound as if Bush is dispatching Air Force 1 to India for a planeload of skilled desis and will issue them US passports at the port of entry.

This is very promising and can help our IV team to press on for relief provisions for Skilled workers already here.

Good luck to us all.

I know what I did was wrong. But what should I do now?

I am worried if USCIS will be sending the copy of the experience letter for verification?

If the letter looks altered and if the ink and shade of your addition looks different from ink/shade of other text, then yes, they would doubt. If they doubt, they will follow procedure and verify the document's authenticity. I am not sure, check with lawyer but I think they will do that via RFE/inquiry. In that case, if you have LIN number, then case status will be updated and you will know that "Something" from USCIS is headed to your employer/lawyer for inquiry or verification. The online status info wont tell you what it is, but you will know if something from USCIS is on the way for inquiry/RFE.

Check all info I provided here with a lawyer. I am not a lawyer.

If that happens, you may want to really get a good attorney to provide you with options.

You should have asked on forums or a lawyer if you even needed to alter the letter. Coz really, the employer need to provide a letter saying that job offer is still valid. If roles/resp are required and if they are missing, USCIS will send RFE for that. And then you can correct it.

But if you get caught in this, then its going to be bad news.
