Message to Emilio

Thank you for giving us Hope for few hours on July 1st and taking it away. We enjoyed the pain. Wish you all the best for future Visa Bulletins for Employment based legal immigration

Don't worry, we will wait for 100 years for our green card.

I understand the pain you are going through... but we do not want to sound pissed! Just a simple best wishes will put our message through (if done by enough people). It burns no bridges... and it can attract the media... we want to shame them not ourselves!

Hi

What did the infopass appointment tell you? Were the officers knew what they were talking about?

Thanks.


They said they will send email to TSC & hopefully I should get the FP in next 30 days , if not I should come again which I did. This time they did the same email thing .Actually I went 2nd time to know whether my NC was clear or not. Menwhile I had created 2 SR's by calling USCIS too.

I hope to get the FP in next few days .

Thanks

endlesswait;

there is a definite procedure, we follow it with appropriate paperwork and itll get done.
only thing is after ur date becomes current. YOU may have to WAKE up the application by using lotta phone calls/infopass/congressman etc.

a colleague of mine got this done last year. his case was like this. its eb2 to eb2...but
i think it wud be similar to eb3-eb2

OLD eb2 labor applied - dec 2002
eb2 perm labor approved - july 2005
140/485 for perm labor filed - sept 2005
140 perm approved nov 2005
old eb2 labor backlog approved - dec 2006
140 for old labor approved - jan 2007 ( premium pr)
succesfully Ported the PD from old to new - feb 2007 ***lawyer charged him 1200 bucks for this effort; i have his details, if u need it***
then he spent a month or so running around to infopass, ph calls, congresman etc ...in an effort to Wake up the appln.. its like telling, "hey guys, i ported date to old date, so now my PD is current, im right now elig for 485 approval, can u pls do it???"...

in april, he got appproval for 485, no RFE, card arrived direct in mail.

thx

god bless

All,

I just want to share some goods news from side.

All my checks got cashed today. I applied on July 23rd at NSC and got the receipt #'s from WAC.

I hope who ever is waiting for RN's they will get soon.

Thanks,

Is it already introduced in Senate?

and reduce your depression!

Seems that very few people have recieved anything who have filed between 4th and 16th aug.

Looks like all the applications received till the Friday July 20th got transfered to either Texas or California. Good news is that checks are getting cleared this week. We should be getting receipt soon. Hang in there.

how about based on salary?

everybody maximize their own utility.

Do you have any suggestions?

Yes I do.

If the employee needs to leave after two years and if he has had a good track record, relieve him in good terms, don�t scr** him.

If the employee helps in your business, you got to help him too (Just like the referral policy), don�t think that just because he works for you, he is obliged to help you in your business in other means, it is not in his list of roles and responsibilities.

It is the employer�s duty too to find projects, if the employee finds project for himself, then reward him with bonus.

Above all, the desi employers need to come out of cheap mentality and become more professionals.

Not that you care but I can give you more suggestions.

Done

I called there office but no clue what SKIL bill is about (Washington DC).
Can any one explain the source of this bill.

Stop fighting / dividing EB2 EB3 groups. EB3 filer should be able to port PD under EB2 category if he/she qualifies and obtains additional education / experience / qualification.

FIFO policy will help everybody (EB!, EB2, EB3)and keep things in order. I don't think there is anything wrong asking IV to involve in this matter as it is for everybody's benefit and not just EB2-I.

my attorney recieved receipts today...filed on July 3rd at nebraska center.

All the best asdcrajnet.. Both countries are equally good, we have lived in both.. so we know how to adjust..

Few points that you may need to find out before you go..

1) Apply for POI for your kid, you may have already done it. There is a restriction that you need to visit nearby police station every 180 days if your son is in India (because he is a US citizen), try to find out more about that and see what you can do to avoid it (may be get a India visa as opposed to a POI)
If you go to a police station, 100% guarantee they will ask for a bribe or make things difficult for us.
2) The school fees for non-Indian citizens is very high, because your son falls under NRI category, try to find out about it, and if possible share with us too.

Everything is good back home but there are few issues which I see are a problem,

1) Nothing moves ahead without bribery, if we need our stuff to move up the queue, say if it is land registration or getting approval for something - it will not move with bribery and any govt office related work we need to wait a lot and service is bad, unlike here in US there is no bribing and things are so streamlined and good. We can talk about ethics and moral values and not give bribe but then our need will never get fulfilled for years if we decide to go as per queue.
2) If you are in IT, the work hours are horrible, most of IT companies are outside city limits, we will end up going early in the morning and return late night (because hey we need to talk to onsite guys). If an employee leaves at 5:30 or 6 PM it means there he is not working - not sure when this culture would change there. Again most of them work on saturdays, so only sunday is a holiday, here in US i can leave work at 5 PM or 5:30 and come home and spend time with family.
3) Commute is very tough back home - too much traffic than what the roads can handle, there is traffic in US too but it is decent traffic, everyone follows rules and lane sense is there. Back home it is really horrible.

For your PD you have waited for a long time, I would suggest you wait for 1-2 more years and give it a try. We can always go back to India no one is going to stop us, but the return is not very easy. Nowadays h1b approvals and stamping has become a nightmare.

All the best in whatever decision you make. Everything is for good :)

My son Has the PIO card. The rule is we have to register with "Foreigner Registration Office" if he stays for more than 6 months. So I got to do that only once. I think there is some procedure when he turns 18. My son will be studying in a Private school. The fees are the same.

We got to be a Roman in Rome. If we have to bribe a little to get things done, I will do it. I am not there to change India. But I would really try to implement something what I learnt in US. I would never throw garbage in the streets(Preach others not to do it). Be kind to all people.

I lived in India for 23 years and in US for 11 years. I am used to both systems. I love the freedom of expression in US. Other than that I like the Parks and Nature in US. In India it is only reserved for the rich. Other than that both are fine with me. One big advantage in India is the extended family. I love lot of people.

I personally believe I can do more philanthropic deeds in India, because in US I have no time and it is hard for me to learn the system and help someone. Somehow. I cannot connect with the people over here(Its just me). All I do here is if something catastrophic happens, I go to Red cross website and donate some. I don't get the satisfaction in just donating the money. I will be happy if I could participate in changing the lives of a few.

July 30 NSC. No action but i guess too early to panic....will let the early july filers do that at the moment :)

Yes, I do have an update. See my posting the Lawsuit thread.

Note:
This Lawsuit Idea is on hold for the following reasons:
a) Not enough interest in the affected parties
b) Cost of the litigation would be upwards of around 30K
c) The counsel has recommended to hold discussions with USCIS official first and give them sufficient time to respond to our concerns.

Thanks for the update!

Good Luck.

I just contributed $200. Will try to participate in the event as well. Thanks and good luck!

Your receipt number for this payment is: 4408-9307-9825-0138.

My friend filed on July 2nd to NSc..she called the level 2 support and they said that her information is still nto in the system and that they are busy with lot of applications and asked her not to worry...

I applied on August 2nd and still nothing....

Donno how long we need to wait for?

I applied for EAD and AP renewal on June 30. I received AP approval on July 18th and got EAD approved on August 15th.

I am not interested to pursue this, nor do I have the ability to lead this effort. Plus I am very happy with the effort and the work IV is doing. Which is not for a specific category but a more general appeal. I support that.

But for those who are interested - EB3 (India and ROW). The way USCIS is interpreting the law of spillover, can be easily challenged, because this goes against the spirit of the law. If EB2 and EB1 were to be given special preference at the I485 stage, then clearly they would have been allotted a larger quota to start with. should be a strong enough case for a Class Action Law Suit. Looking at the times that some people have been waiting and are expected to wait this is clearly an option to try out. IV or without IV. :)

If there is no bill flying now and situation is tough, then you are attracting too much attention when everyone is against immigrants. God forbid they decide to punish immigrants more due to this by more anti-bills.

You would be safe because you have EAD. But what about those without EADs.

If you really want to do something then help us allow filing I485 when visa dates are not current. So that everyone gets EAD. EAD is lot better than H1B and this will be a temporary relief. EAD gives so much protection than H1B and that should be our #1 priority.
