I sent in form G-325 for both me and my wife along with my I-485 instead of the G-325A as required on I-485 instructions by oversight. What do you guys recommend I do? Should I send in a new application or just send in the G-325A form with a letter stating the issue? Please help.

If he was really smart he would've put up this inconspicuous yet artistically perfect image. Can you notice the subtle differences?

Oh yeah, and I'm impressed you knew the term dimpled chad and managed to work it into a sentence somewhere.

So applications from India are in first place with over 300% more applications than the second place? Wow

According to my knowledge it has to be after the college. You cannot be fulltime employed and full time student at the same time.

So in nutshell. B.S + 5 years exp (After completing BS) and also the job must demand for BS + 5 years exp.Else you cannot file under EB2.



Thanks guys... I believe my experiences are "progressive" (whatever that means) in a sense that during 5 years of work I progressed accordignly and to the level that the job description / ad for my position would require BS plus 5 years of experience.

What I don't get and was not quite sure about was the fact that 2 of those 5 years were during college. 5 years of experience is 5 years - I don't get why they would not like it. It is normal for people to work full time and go to college full time. When you get hired, if you have 5 years of full time experience, the prospective employer could not care less that 2 years of that were gained during last 2 years of college.

Dunno ... with USCIS and their rules ...

I asked my lawyer (duahhaaaa) and he said it's ok ... but I don't trust him.

Michigan members your chapter is waiting for you. Let's meet our Lawmakers NOW

PM me ur email address. I will send u the reply via email :-)

Thx


1. My parents included their Indonesian bank statement in rupiah. And they went to US embassy in Jakarta, their hometown. Does it make a difference to go to other city after they got rejected twice? If so, which one?
2. I had never gone back to Indonesia since I got the asylum. I'm not supposed to although I have already got my greencard. In fact, VO asked them if I ever went back to Indonesia. And my parents said no.
3. I didn't include my US bank statement because my parents self-sponsor themselves. I don't have much anyway to sponsor them.

Please let me know your advice. Thank you so much.

This and the new rumor that two senators were influencing USCIS clearly implies that the whole mess is a result of the CIR bill.

I can recall watching c-span a few days before the july bulletin came out. He said something on these lines "If we have 400-500,000 legal immigrants in the backlog for the past 4-5 years, how do you think we will able to provide GC to 11 million illegal immigrants?"

A few days after this, the July visa bulletin is released. CIR dies on June 26th or 27th and the two senators(whoever they are) influenced USCIS to "use up" all the numbers. THe more you read into this mess, it becomes clear that CIR was the root cause for the roller coaster ride of emotions.

This stuff is not a revelation but it confirms our suspicion all along that this was a political drama. I dont think this had anything to do with the fee increase.

I hope 60 minutes covers this scandal. If anyone has contacted 60 minutes, can you please let us know their email address?

This one is an earlier bills introduced earlier ,This is similar to the bills being discussed

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c110:1:./temp/~c110j4GOX5::

Since the text of this bill is similar to other bill should we try to get these law maker's support.

KENNEDY AND MCCAUL ANNOUNCE “NEW AMERICAN INNOVATORS ACT”




(Washington, DC) - Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy (D-RI) and Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) announced the introduction of the New American Innovators Act. The New American Innovators Act would exempt foreign students receiving Ph.D.’s from accredited, American universities from numerical immigration limits.

“The New American Innovators Act takes the best and the brightest and moves them to the front of the green card line,” said Congressman Patrick Kennedy. “The global competition for talent is getting fiercer with each passing year. Although we already have the most talented workforce in the world, we cannot sit idly by while other countries work to attract the best international talent – especially when those individuals have been educated in our universities. The New American Innovators Act targets the cream of the crop. These are individuals who will generate breakthroughs, start businesses, create jobs, and ultimately help to drive our economic growth for years to come. It is absurd that we would spend time and money educating them only to force them to go to our economic competitors, even if they want to stay.”

“We need to ensure that U.S. employers continue to create and stay on the ‘cutting-edge’ of the global market,” stated Congressman Michael McCaul. “I am proud to work across the aisle in a bipartisan fashion to co-introduce this bill with Congressman Kennedy that will add to America’s economic strength by offering increased access to the best talent, no matter where they may be born. These individuals are the best and the brightest, having graduated from U.S. universities with doctorate degrees and are already present and working in America. These professionals add to our prosperity, by making enormous contributions to our economy. The last thing we want to do is force them to leave the country. ”

“We must continue to be committed to ensuring U.S. employers have the talent necessary to compete worldwide. Without the ability to retain them, we risk losing these hard-working, valued workers, who we have spent an enormous amount of funds training and educating to our national competitors abroad.”

Sen Kennedy is the reason every one of us could come even be here in the US today. Please read up on some history of legal immigration - especially the one that dismantled racial barriers. The senator might not share your focus or sense of urgency in solving EB issues first and may be more passionate about the illegal issue but that does not mean he's any less interested in legal issues or make him 'exclusively' an advocate for undocumented. Dont unnecessarily diminish anyone who is your friend - once again, go back and read up on the history of immigration especially around the 60's.

Thanks for that Iptel.

Will include it in our lawmaker materials list right away and incorporate it into our presentation as soon as I can.

It’s not India or China who asked for globalization. It was America who wants to sell their products throughout the world.

No matter how many bills these Senators may make they are not going to stop outsourcing.

America didn’t develop because of protectionist policies, it grow because it was a free market.

In today's world it is simply not possible to stop outsourcing. It is also not possible to stop all illegal immigration or send all legal/illegal immigrats out. Anti-immigrants are very few in number and they try to project as if the entire America wants what they want. They will still go and buy a Toyota and buy stuff Made in China from the store :) Ask them if they want double for their grocery every week if we deport all undocumented and their answer will definitely be a NO.

thanks again:
more questions:o
1. i think my company needs to apply for LCA frst, right?what things should be done (roughly) before applying for LCA? and approximately how much time is required for those things?
2. how long does it take to get approved for LCA? (if the company does everything correctly?)
3. once LCA arrives, then the company just needs to fill the required H1B forms and send them to USCIS, right? approximately how much time is required for those things?
4. once the forms arrive at the USCIS, as long as I pay extra $1000, will I be eligible for preium processing?
5. what happens after USCIS gives an ok? and a 'no ok"?
6. if everthing happens before october 1st,2010 and i get an OK from USCIS, will I be officially on H1B after october 1st 2010?
7. if everthing happens after october 1st,2010 and i get an OK from USCIS, what will be?

Thanks again, i know i';m being an idiot with so many questions but I'm just trying to understand exactly what's and how's happenning these things.
Thank you again.

Yes, I94 is a part of ur new H1 (at teh bottom)...so u can go to Canada Mex using that and enter back into US within 30 days....

Hi greencard_fever,

I am in great need of some suggestions. I hold a MS degree in computer science and graduate in 2004 dec. Since then I have been with the same employer.

Now that he is filing for my LC. Is it difficult to get through with MS+0yrs of expereince ?

Also, at this point of time i have found other employers who is willing to do my GC in which case I will have MS+2 yrs of expereince.

Is it worth changing employer for gaining 2 yrs of expereince for my LC.

Does this really make my case more stronger ? or I am just OVER REACTING ? and doing unneccessary thing

DOES THE EXPEREINCE with MS makes it better for EB2 ?

Please let me know if there are some experts out there


It doesn't matter. I had my EB2 approved with MS+0. Just make sure the job description explicitly mentions MS with no further experience.

Your EB3 application is still safe. You can use your current EAD.

Also, one should know we are not getting help from our group, I know many guys who are effected by GCs in my office in my neighbourhood, I can't even get them to make one call to senator office,

how do you expect some other organization to help us, when we can't help ourselves

A few more questions:

1. While the I-140 is pending, can I get a different lawyer to file the I-485?

2. If I wait until the I-140 is approved and then get a different lawyer to process my I-485 (or do it myself), will this be a problem?

3. Can my employer withdraw the I-140 AFTER it's been approved?

Please advise me.


1. Yes you can.. but how is it going to help? you still need your employer's support letter and I140 receipt notice. Read all the posts carefully.

2. No problem. But why? Your employer is your 1st problem, lawyer 2nd. Lawyer is going to listen to your employer for labor and I140. They have to legally. you need to get the employment letter and I140 notice. Law firms and employer are not legally obligated to provide you I140 related information as its employer who is petitioning for you.

3. Yes.
