Lets see what moderators have to say about these threads ... I guess we should be ashamed ourselves to be called "highly skilled" and "educated".

For an outsider , there is no difference between one type of Indian or other . These people need to get a life.

Well said. Some people jsut need to grow up and mature.

So that means it starts prior to Dec'9th for my case..????

For July filers these 2 dates are way too far.. for June filers there'll be few days difference only...

The RD (Receipt Date) is the date USCIS received your application. And 180 days for AC21 triggers from this date.. Not the ND (Notice Date), when USCIS actually enached your checks and issued you a receipt... The CRIS website usually shows ND...

Seems your RD is June 9th... Confirm from your I-485 receipts too...

Friend of your's needs to carefully look at that page of the passport again.

One of the following would be corssed out (or marked deleted)

(1) ECR: Emigration Check Required (for all countries except Bangladesh, Pak, North America and Europe)

(2) Emigration Check NOT Required.

If ECNR is not deleted, then there is no problem. If it is delted, there is still no problem in coming to the US (In my passport, ECNR was deleted, and I had no problem in leaving India for the US).

If ECR is not deleted, then emigration check is required only if you are travelling to countries that are not in the list of exceptions in (1).




Guys,

Friend of mine has got H1B1 visa stamped now. But we just found out that on his passport ECNR is not deleted. ECNR is still required there.

Can you guys help us to understand what this is? Do we need to remove ECNR before he travel to UR? He has BE (Mech).

When I came to US my ECNR was deleted and I am also graduate.

Your help appreciated.

Thanks,

Hey, just be confident.. not all people get a chance to go in a place and apply for a job.. besides, if you have all the qualities of an applicant, there is no reason to be shy, rather tell your interviewer on what you can do to be an asset and help the company grows more.:D

I had expected some kind of outlook from the recent AILA - DoS liaison that happened in San Antonio. Both Matthew Oh and Sheela Murthy did not report any outlook. But here's an outlook from another lawyer

Further Retrogression for Employment-Based Immigrant Visas Anticipated

At a recent immigration conference in San Antonio, it was reported that the Department of State ("DOS") expects that the EB1 China category will remain current and the EB2 China category to continue advancing. On a less positive note, further delays in the EB1 and EB2 categories for Indian nationals is expected as well as the EB3 category for all nationalities. With the Department of Labor's optimistic projection that the the Backlog Elimination Centers will meet their goal of eliminating its backlog and processing the remaining labor certifications filed pre-PERM implementation by September 2007, the DOS expects severe retrogression in many of the categories, particularly the EB3 categories - across the board. While this report is pure speculation, it does spark concern that applicants will be facing further delays in the permanent residence process. The DOS' Visa Bulletin is released on a monthly basis at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/b...letin_1770.html. Greenberg Traurig will continue to monitor this issue and provide further updates as soon as they are available.

Looks like it's a long haul for EB3 in general and could be punishing for EB3-IND and EB2-IND.

This is the effect of increasing the H1B quota to 115,000 for 2 years and then to 195000 in 1 year without actually increasing the GC quota.

Good luck to all of us. Those who are in late 2001 and early 2002 EB3-IND filers can hope to get relief in the next year or so but unless some bill passes other EB3-IND filers should possibly work towards Plan B. Also read the report by USCIS ombudsman. It's quite revealing about the working of USCIS. This country might be technologically advanced but it's bureaucracy seems to be much worse than third world countries comparitively.

If they'd only "fix" the Social Security Card to be more secure, I'm sure you'd reduce much of the illegal employment. the way the SS card is designed right now, anyone could print out as many of these on his home printer.

This is a very sad message this morning I got to read from my inbox. I am not bothered about losing the pledge, but I am shocked to see only 88 members pledged. The sadest part is that this pledge is created by a US Citizen for IV.

IV Members 6000+
Retrogressed members 350,000+

Why only 88 pledged? Many people wants free ride which they cannot get if they dont want to unite for the common cause. I know most of the H1b holders are paid well and spend a lot. But when it comes to donate, they feel $1 equivalent to $1000. The reason is they feel they are not getting anything in return which is not true and they feel they are smart to get a free ride when others donate.

If you dont unite for the common cause, everyone including is going to struggle to get what you want. But at least the donated members will feel good about trying their best.

*************** EMAIL FROM PLEDGEBANK *****************
We are sorry to have to inform you that the pledge to which you
signed up did not meet its target in the required time. It
required 1000 other people, but achieved only 88.

The pledge, created by Randall Emery, read: 'I will donate $10
monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000
other people will too.'

This means you don't have to do your part of the pledge.
Instead, why not sign up to local alerts at

creates a new pledge near you, browse the pledges at

You will receive the receipit with-in 3 months or at worst in 6 months and then the medical report.

I strongly fell you should get it fixed. Any how you have good Priority date after correction. If they dont correct then you are still lucky :)

Keep all evidences that you tried to correct it. This will help in future if any thing goes wrong from there side.

What stage is this reform bill in?

EB 3 India..PD 03/24/2006. EAD approved-10/28/07; AP-01/09 , also same for the derivatives too..I-140 approved 09/13/2007, Also FP done..in OCT.

any update when can we get GC.

Hi attorney,

I know the question sounds weird.

My husband applied EB2 in 2007. 140 approved and 485 pending. But then we came back to our home country because of layoff. We carried AP but now AP is expiring in 3 weeks. I know after AP goes expired, our 485 will be considered abandoned.

I heard that PD is still ours even in the case of abandonment of 485. So, I still hope that some day we can come back to US to re-do the green card application. My question is, once PD becomes current, how long will the window to submit 485 be open for us?

Thanks.

IMO: 7th Year extn can be filed if PERM is pending for more than 365 days or if I-140 is approved.

Friends;
I am posting this on behalf of my friend who is on H1 (6th year expiring in Dec, 2011). His labor is yet to be filed and in this connection we have a question. Process has been initiated by employer and tentatively labor will be filed in June, 2011. Hoping that he will be done with labor or I-140 by November would he be eligible for 7th year H1 extension?
Thanks
Venu

We have seen many recent cases where the employer revokes I-140 and that causes inadvertent issues with a pending AOS application.

With the economy worsening, several companies are going to be forced to lay off employees, many in an amicable way. Also many small companies do not know the legalities and just revoke I-140 to be on the safe side.

I have heard over an over again that companies are not required to revoke I-140, but is there some official documentation that says so? If we have that handy, then in case of a layoff we could point them to the documentation and request them to NOT revoke the I-140 petition.

I tried to look around, but couldn't find any. Does anyone else know?
