All,

I am about to send my passport renewal application to CGI Houston paying the Tatkal fee. As I am a consultant and will be traveling all week, I might not be home when the passport arrives. And so, I want CGI to send my renewed passport to my aunt's address.

Has anyone done this before? If so, is it sufficient if I send an self-addressed envelope with my aunt's address?

Thanks for your replies.

The objection by house members to this bill is the easy way out for the reps, who are in trouble for a million things such as high gas prices, another Vietnam type bogging down in Iraq, high spending on medicare etc. The only way for conservatives to curry favors with their base is to throw in the defense of marriage bill, and do nothing about the CIR. The next few days will be critical for the bill. It dies or goes to the conference where it might come out radically changed.

I am opening a new thread to post all updates on the CIR. It seems today is a crucial day when the house comes in session and work on forming the committee might start. If people hear any updates you can post in this thread.

I read on immigration-law that conservative republications are trying to torpedo the CIR with a new technical legislative argument. It sure is going to be a difficult task to have this bill passed since house has republican majority and they are saying in the media that they will not have the bill passed.

"Report indicates that the House hardliners who opposed the Senate-passed S. 2611 have come up with a weapon to block the House-Senate Conference Committee and the S.2611. The weapon they have hammered out involves a constitutional issue as to whether the provision in S. 2611 that requires guest worker applicants to "pay the back taxes" as condition for the legal status constitutes a federal government's measure to raise the revenue. These hardliners argue that the U.S. Constitution mandates that any legislation to raise revenue for the government must originate in the House and S. 2611 violated the U.S. Constitution by originating such legislative bill in the Senate. When the Congress returns on Monday, there will be a see-saw fight between the S. 2611 proponents and opponents on this legal technicality issue. One wonders how the House hardliners would defend their prior violations in the past in another legislations that involved such legal technicality issues. Besides, there is no clear definition as to whether such back-tax payment requirement indeed constitutes a revenue raising measure. "

Just posted in our alumni group...hope to see some memberships.

Hi

Sorry about my lack of knowledge, but what is EB3/ROW? Is "ROW" a short form? Can someone explain or guide me to a link?

I third!

i fourth :D

Ianlock,

Can you tell me when NVC mailed the packet to you (is there a post mark date) ?

I have been waiting for my packet since April 25th and still nothing. NVC told me that they mailed it on the 25th.


Thanks

My PD is 19th June 2006....close..lol... EB3 ROW

I just got sent a packet from NVC to ask to confirm my layers details and my current address. Im hoping the June VB will put me in the current section...?

just gotta wait and see i guess.

Total Iv members - 14,002...

Way to go.

So I read that the amendment for recapture has been removed from the funding bill. Guess we are back to the start again? This really makes me to start hate the fact that we are held as the hostage of illegals

Is this true? where did you read this? would it be possible to post somemore information. Does this mean we stop calling or we still need to call? I just read this thread and started calling.

sent you a PM.

Can you PM me your real name. I have a feeling, I know you by your real name.
:)

Hmmm,

I may as well tell my wife to accept the fact that she is likely to loose her job. Just got reply from my attorney to go for INFOPASS once 90 days have passed and request expedite.

Did you do INFOPASS or Service Request? Is that the same or different?

With Infopass appointment you get to meet IO (may be level I, or Level II) face-to-face, SR is done via phone.

I noticed someone posted this in one other thread. I just noticed this as the 3rd headlines on CNN home page.

Coopheal:
If you really contributed $2400 as you say in your post and if you are really EB3 with PD 2003, then you wouldnt be asking others or me the questions. You didnt list a single action item that makes obvious sense to most people here.

Do you want me also to write below " I contributed $8000 so far".. Do you think it will make anyone to even contribute a $ here unless they see a point. Wake up and come up with a better plan.

what is the point of asking you the question when you are just blank...? is it going make any one's life any better.? I still remember you are not even able to send the $25 check and want to put 'contributed $8000'. Dont you think its funny?:rolleyes:

Is this happening this year too - TSC is giving approvals and not NSC? Last Aug / September when my priority date was current - it was the same, i know of people who got approved from TSC whose PD were 12/05.

Also, it seems that all cases approved so far have an ND before 8/30/2007 so here goes again they will ignore PD and go by ND not even RD.

Dear IV Members,

Finally, Greened.

Thank you all IV friends.

Thanks,
DEVARAJ4U :)

CONGRATS Devaraj. Enjoy.

A lot of Desi Consulting Companies do these kinds of things. They can cook up any resume and any requirement.

Real PHD guys who worked their asses off day and night in trying to publish some worth while papers are not getting consideration for EB1 and these DCC guys with a bachelors in any discipline and 5-7yrs experience can become Multi-national executives and fall under EB1.

Nothing helps us legally working people with US Masters Degrees who have been living as law abiding citizens for years.

One of my friends who did Bachelors with me in India came to US on h1B and actually bought his EB2 Labor back in 2005 through a DCC and now has a GC. He never even told me that he did that. He told me recently after he got his GC.
I agree that is really a b*** . We pay taxes, contribute to the economy/society etc and we don't preference wheras any manager living outside can get GC in 6 months is very dissapointing. I don't blame the ppl who got through DCC like this but the law itself should be fixed.

Thats true dear pappu,

I Never donated anything to IV so far, but now I will do that. I did spread awareness about IV from last several years, and will keep doing so.

IV helps me a lot in providing valuable information plus very big moral support when i got frustrated.


Thank you I IV and Dear Teddy for his great hardwork.

is there anyway we can add some more points in IV agenda if they are already not there,

1. what we can do to reduce Citizenship waiting time for us who are already waiting from many years for GC because of the retrogression.

2. how to make easier for a unmarried Greencard holder to bring their spouses to US rather then waiting for 4 years.

if you dont like any of the above suggestions, just ignore and dont fight.

Thanks

You will donate 25 dollars 4 years member or will calculate like 25x12x4 :)

No one knows dick about PD movement. EB3 filers think that somehow EB2 PD gets stuck or even retrogress and EB3 PDs race forward to 2003/2004, through some delusional logic. Those who filed under EB2 think, EB2 PD moves to 2005/2006. These predictions are mostly prejudicial. USCIS may have some idea after entering all June/July/Aug applications, that is if they can find someone who can add :D.

My two cents...

And what about me? I have two files. One in EB3 -2003 and One in EB2 -2006 and both are live. :)

This all comes down to the political appointees at high posts at DOL/USCIS. President Bush does not nominate them based on merit, effective leadership qualities, and compassion for workers. It is all done on loyalty basis and party politics.

Because courts do not intervene or past attempts at litigation failed, all these people are sitting pretty. Shame on them.

There are 13 guys voted "NO". May I know why. These guys already got approval or what? If so, Please remember this voting is only for people are struck in Perm process.

Its a stupid poll, there will be people lurking around selection 'No' or 'Maybe' as an answer just for fun. We just need to count by the number of people posting Audit details. Poll does not make any sense to me OR we just need 1 answer: Yes:p
