Sorry to hear about this Mehul. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Please keep in mind that the US healthcare system is for-profit. That means that there are too many bureaucratic, legal and business reasons for either treating or not treating the patient. There might be cures or procedures or therapies out there, that your doctor or hospital is not interested in because its not covered by your insurance as it is labelled as "Experimental".

Insurance companies are like maggots. They love premiums but when it comes to claims, they try to swipe as many cures and procedures as possible under the rug of "Experimental treatment" so that they dont have to pay.

I would suggest that you do all you can to seek immigration advise but please consider going to India for a month and getting a second opinion from Apollo or AIIMS or such high-quality Hospitals.

I would not trust the for-profit, suck-all-blood-dry, deny-care and inhumane healthcare system of this country where the care-givers and the insurance companies are in collusion with each other to maximize profits and do whatever it takes to maximize profits even when it means that some people die and others go bankrupt even after paying insurance.


Please make sure you try Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai they specialize in Cancer treatment http://tmc.gov.in/.
I am not trying to make you feel good but sharing personal experiance. One of my relative was diagnosed with fatal cancer. As part of final effort they visited TMC if there is a cure. To their surprise they found Cancer to be false alarm it was just a non malignant tumor.
Mistakes do happen and I hope it happened with you too.

In current situation Labor is impossible for approval. My attorney told me clearly that labor is impossible to approve in this bad economy and wastage of money.

in one of the threads its said that all 90 senators had agreed to pass the SKIL as against one who did not (sen sessions) and since lame duck required unanimous voting it cud not, but when the demo's bring it up early next year, they would not need an unanimous vote on it but a majority vote? so statistically it sud get through? how far off am i on this?

EAD Receipt # is different from i485 Receipt #. What i know though is that i485 receipting is a pre-requisite of EAD receipting.

Congratulations!

Done!!!

Done

It is good to know that there are a few willing to do something about this!

But we need more people!

Even about 50 people is a good start! Come on people... spare a few minutes and take part in this protest!

Don't go on with your lives as if nothing happened and don't think that nothing will happen!

Most of us come from the land of Gandhiji... most of us have forgotten what that one little man achieved! But the fact is he couldn't have achieved everything that he did if the people of India didn't believe!

So start to believe people! You can make a difference!

I agree: you should take legal advice from as many attorneys as possible. In my experience with multiple attorneys on these topics (i.e., self-employed vs. W2 on EAD, and "filing" AC21), I got conflicting pieces of advice. So the only resources I could base my thinking on are USCIS and IRS.

Supreet -

I strongly dispute that. I encourage you to consult an attorney before taking any action.

AC-21 job must be "permanent and full-time" just like I-140. Simple. Infact, please put your question in attorney forum and get it confirmed right there.

You can do it through the IV site. Click the Green "Donate button at the top of this page or from home page. It will display the following options from which you can choose and it will take you to paypal.
Remember to login first to IV. Image attached. There is a link in my signature which points to the same.

Ok, now I am a recurring donor...

asdcrajnet, very sorry to hear but good luck with your new efforts and live peacefully!!!

Finally we have decided to go back to India for good. I filed my EB3 in May 2003. Its going to be another 4 years to get the green card. When I went to India for vacation last December, we liked it over there & the economy is booming. There are all sorts of discussion regarding the Economic Gap/Politics/Corruption/Cleanliness. But we like it over there. Finally I will have an option to do something interesting. In US I was very much dependent on my monthly pay check and afraid to take even the slightest risk. I am also scared to use the AC21(Hey, thats the way I am). I am working with the same company for last 10 years, kinda stagnant in the last 4 years. In India, there are lots of choices, either to work for a sw company or start some business on my own. I think I will take the business route.

May be I can go there, earn well, send my son to US for college, do green card through him & come retire in US!!!

Good Luck to everybody!!

Did anything happen on this front...??
Did he introduce or not??..

All said and done..nothing might pass in the name of comprehensive reform this year...What are the other options for pushing ??

I only got CPO on 8/8/8 and soft LUD on 8/9/8/


My husband received CPO mail on 08/04, welcome mail on 08/05, soft LUD on 08/06 and approval notice sent mail on 08/09 but dated 08/08 in USCIS status. Hoping to have the GC in hand next week.
Anyone who has the same chain of events or received GC for CPO mail on 08/04 or later?

Please clarify. I thought it is happening on July 14 or 21.

I am sorry to say this but I am not at all surprised that CIR may not pass. Every American I know has called his/her Senator to tell them that they wont vote for them if they vote for amnesty. And that is expected since all they know about CIR is that it is an amnesty for illegal immigrants. I would have done the same thing if I was in their shoes.

I dont know if I should be happy or sad that CIR will not pass.

I am sad since this will affect legal people waiting to get their EAD card and other such issues that IV is fighting for.

I am happy because illegals will not get amnesty. That would be a slap in our face. It would have also led to the meltdown of the immigration machine which cant handle the current workload without bungling it up.

Maybe the failure of CIR will let us redirect our our efforts so we focus on a bill which specifically addresses the issues of LEGAl immigrants and we dont get tarnished by the illegal immigrants issues.

It is depressing to see that nothing has changed much since the last post in this thread in 2007!
We are still in the same rut :mad: and not a single immigration news to read either :eek: let alone have any kind of active debate on the topic !!

Bump

guys,


just correct me if i am wrong. I am totally new to this thing...i really admire people who have been waiting patiently this long for gc. I would say all IV participants as heros. really appreciate their actions. my priority date is jan 2006 eb3 india. I was looking at the visa bulletein from 1995..they hve this trend of backlogging and making dates current every 2 to 2.5 years. does this mean namecheck has been causing so much of backlogs?just want to know what is happening.

and which state did you apply from ? Looks like there is some relation to where it is processed (If your I-140 was not already approved before the USCIS bispec III...see my message before )

My lawyer sent the applications on June 1st and we have the receipts already. They cashed the checks by June 6th.

Thanks Lasantha.

I knew one of my friends on H1-B started an LLC, sponsored his wife H1 and now his wife is maintaining the company.
