Thanks Delhi !!!

Please be clarified, This is a different drive than the regular funding drive. Here we are collecting pledge of funds from members towards reimbursing the administrative costs incurred by Aman and other core IV team members. One time only. Need not pay now, just pledge your contribution by quoting the amount. We will let all the members on how to make this payment.




In - $ 50 per month

- Delhi

I also want USCIS to count my legal presence in the US prior to obtaining permanent residency (GC) for naturalization purposes. (Canada does this - 50% credit for time spent legally before obtaining permanent residency).

I want. I want. I want. :)

I actually spoke to Customer service and I got 2 very different responses.

1. Wait till you are an old man and then the cards may just come !! (Just Kidding ) she actually said wait for 90 days.

2. Another CSR told me that the TSC is having technical issues and they are not able to access the Biometric information on approved 485's in their systems. She advised me to download Form I-90 from the USCIS site and fill that in and send it in - if you have a minor on the petition then also send 2 passport size pictures of the minor - this will allow them to access the Biometric screen when they process the I-90. We will get Biometric notices and the Minor will get the card - the Grown ups will get the Cards after the Biometrics are uploaded.

I have not done this - eventhough I downloaded the I-90 forms - I took a INFOPASS appt and if they suggest that I should do a I-90 then I can get that done right on the spot - I am carrying the filled I-90 with me. Anyhow I-90 is usually submitted to correct errors on the card or to replace a card - however this woman sounded quite knowledgeable - but then there are issues realted to where the I-90 should be sent - this is specially complicated if your case has been transferred a few times like mine was.

Best is to check with the guys/gals at Infopass -meeting.

All this was from the rep at the TSC - so not sure if this is applicable to all centers.

AGAIN THIS IS WHAT I HEARD FROM THE TSC REP - PLEASE USE THIS INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK - I AM NOT SENDING THE I-90 ON MY OWN.

I will post my Infoapss exp on the 9th of september.

Thanks for the info.

I heard some where that the problem with accessing with Biometrics for the transfered cases.

I applied in TSC but was sent to CSC, got the AP and EAD from CSC and sent back to TSC for 485. All my numbers start with WAC...

So, may be this is happening for the cases like mine...

Is your case also in the similar lines...

If Dream act becomes law, I will throw my visa documents and register my self as undocumented alien with undocumented birth certificate and get degree from a community college and get the visa.:D

Nothing is as easy as it seems. Even for a small ask item, there is a lot we have to invest. If people show up for chapter meetings, come for lobby day and rally, contribute and volunteer for the cause.. then we can increase our chances of success.

I looked at the profiles of people on this thread and a lot have not even completed their profile information. While we want IV to do things for us, we do not want to do what IV asks us to do. One cannot expect to get things done by anonymously posting a want list and expecting others to do the job for them.

If anyone wants their ideas to be the agenda of IV, they must come forward and get active in the state chapter. Through state chapters you will know the updates and have an opportunity to help, suggest and even lead your ideas in IV.

Well said! Guys, people who say "IV should have this and that as topmist priority", remember that IV is a GRASSROOTS organization. Which means that if you want something to be on IV agenda, take the leadership for that item in your state chapter and lead it yourself. IV is not some big corporate or government entity that has a board of directors. IV is YOU and ME.

WOuld appreciate if you can share your experiences.
Thanks!

I also sent an email to the above list.

Let's hope we get media attention tomorrow. :confused:

I am enraged.

We Indians deserve to be waiting forever without Greencard.

This is why EB3 Indiots will be waiting forever for their greencard. We Indians come to USA and still behave like the pictures in these links. We throw sh** on the forum and criticize each other. As long as Indians fight with each no bill will ever come. Indiots are to be blamed for waiting forever. Do not blame Amercia. We brought dirt from India and still live in it on this forum. Its pathetic.

So EB3 indians are idiots?:D

thanks ikass for helping on both fronts.

Total Contributions...........$7,925.00
Amount to be raised.......$42,075.00

Congratulations.
that is the good news. we are happy to hear this from you.

you could have posted the same on here "EB2 India/China GC Approvals Starting Aug 1st 2008" but worth stating this on a new thread so that you have something to remember when you look back in future. ;)

today is your official independence day from uscis. cheers :-)

jchan,

I believe, the family quota is not very farbehind. Defiantly not 4 years.

Even if it is 4 years. She has EAD and AP to hold on to. Instead of both being stuckup it would be better atleast one reaches shore immediately.

same with my spouses EAD application. My 485 is pending in NSC. Spouse's EAD pending at TSC, ND July 22 no LUD's yet..
My spouse's current EAD expires on Sep 26. Hope to get the EAD by then:confused:

Same with me. 485 pending at NSC, EAD pending at TSC - as per instructions in I765. NO Luds, just silence.

Adding dependents/derivative is based on primary�s PD and app status.

Challenge me with a scenario that will have an issue. If someone doesn�t have H4 they will be affected anyways. They will not have additional impact due to this.

Please read INA, I485 application and current VB.

I personally believe none will be affected and left too behind (yes, they will be delayed a bit, they will have AP/EAD to hold on to).

But add the Dependents to that. Now at least you wife is coming with you. Just think if there was no H4 visa.

Can you PM me your email id so we can work out the things with this thread.


Yeah sure we can extend this till monday..Is somebody keeping track of people and their pledge amount?

A lot of people can give you advice but I think it really comes down to making peace with yourself.

I have been thru the pain of being stuck in LC for over 4 years and I can completely sympathize with you. I know it can be really frustrating. I have been thru swings of optimisim and pessimism in those 4 years. Ultimately this is what I have realized, there is always a price to be paid in life if you want to achieve anything in life. It is upto each one of us to decide if GC is worth the various years of being stuck in same job, wife being stuck on H4 is the right price for GC or am I paying too much. For me personally, I think I am paying a big price but I am like a businessman who has invested so much money and time in his enterprise that he's afraid to drop the venture and start another business. Actually a lot of us fall in this category.

So look at it this way. Write down the price you are paying. Figure out if you still want to put your effort (and how much) in trying to get a GC. If you think its a venture that's not worth the outcome, there's your answer! If you think its worth the outcome but you are afraid you still may not get a GC, work on backup plan i.e. evaluate and apply for immigration to other western countries or evaluate and work on a plan to go back to your home country. Knowing the price and having alternate plans will give you peace of minds. More than anything else don't forget to have fun. A lot of times we get caught up in worrying about what might/might not happen in future and don't enjoy the present! Go out with your wife and have a fancy dinner every now and then ... do something spontaneous... Watch movies, listen to music, go bowling with friends ... whatever takes your mind off the routine!


I see a lot of guys telling everyone who is frustrated saying: Let your wife get her own H1, why don't you buy a house on H1, why don't you have kids? Well, its good to offer suggestions but don't get condescending. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a stable job that they can buy a house. Not everyone's wife is in IT and can get a desi co. to sponsor H1. Not everyone is at peace mentally enough that they can plan children.

Well, I am TOO depressed about the BEC performance. I know too many people are in same situation but I find myself "helpless" and at least i want to SCREAM......:mad:

I am in for $100.

By the way if we have 20,000 members and even if each pledge $5, we can reimburse the core team expenses. How often we have to teach and tell the Math to our so called highly skilled free riders.

Some should be feeling really guilty for using IV and not contributing till now. Come out the stingy attitude and help.

Thats because 19,236 members hide somewhere when there are talks about $.
If some people want to criticize IV same 19,236 members will be first to jump on forums and post messages!

PS: 19,236 is just a made up number!

Congratulations.

So if the kid gets his GC and you do too because he, like many other kids, are removed from the queue, is that a problem or a good thing?

Plus in a lot of fields, having an MS or PhD is absolutely necessary.
mrajatish,
I think you get the point. This will clear a lot of people from the queue...

Too bad you did not bother reading up on the net before you took your job. I researched what is involved prior to leaving grad school and I knew it was a long wait. Like I said quota is there because of numbers / diversity. US needs programmers from more than just one country.

And its not really a quota since numbers are rolled at the end of the year to oversubscribed countries. Your notion of separate queues derives from your ignorance of how immigration works. Why hasn't anyone challenged the quota in the Supreme Court ?

Maybe we will. If community comes together. Lawsuit requires lot of money. There is a saying in India that a wise man should never climb the steps of the court, however; after repeated insults and discriminations he becomes unwise. And good that you read the rules, but you said something like grad school? Was it US grad school? Dont you know criterion and intention on F1 is to go back? I came here on H1 directly. At that time, I was too young and naive to see the sandtraps. You cant blame for someone falling in a well disguised hole.

All,

I appreciate all your inputs on the below mentioned scenario.

1. Company A filed I-140 and approved.
2. Got H1B extension for 3 years (8,9,10th years).
3. Applied I-485 and it is past 180 days.
4. Now Company B hires using H1B and invoking AC21


Stage 4 in detail:

a. Filed H1B transfer and got approval.
b. Informed USCIS about job change with AC21 portability.
c. Submitted new employment verification letter from company B

Now coming to the questions.

1. Would company B be able to request for another 3 year on H1B or only the remaining period will be approved by USCIS?

2. Say now employer A revokes I-140, what will be the status on the approved H1B?

3. Assuming H1B is valid still ( even after revoking I-140), after 10th year will the beneficiary be able to extend H1B? If so based on what pending application the H1B can be extended?

So, how are u going to help us????

Two weeks back, your priority was to file a law suite against porting from EB3 to EB2.

Now after seeing your own buddies get approval before you, you put the previous plan on hold (sure you have not dropped it) and working on the new item.

All we can do is to send letters to USCIS to expedite the process and give SunnySurya green card at the earliest.

So not only EB3 but EB2 also escape from new issues.

I am with you.

You are almost there, you will get GC tomorrow or next week, who knows.
