Congrats

The damage is already done, so now why would they care about any immigration laws, legal or illegal, I pray everyday, for that one day all the xenophobics jumping the fence, because the way I see it no ILLEGAL drugs will be available unles you live in Detroit , the supply and demand will cause them to start a new visa program, which the xenophobics will support overwhelmingly.

is it official that we can file till August 17th? i didn't see that in august bulletin. please let me know as you know how important is that..... Well its timing...

I Used their tool but sent the folllowing message

Greetings. My name is XXXXXXXXXXXXX. I

am a citizen of India and have been living in the United States for close
to 7 years on a H1b visa and work as a Senior Software Consultant catering

to various Ammerican clients and my employer is located in Irving, Texas.

My Green Card petition was filed by my employer under the EB2 category and
my I 140 petition has been approved, but I am unable to file for i485
(Adjustment of Status) because visa numbers are not available. My wife is
also on a H1b visa and is a first year resident physician at a Community
Hospital in Brooklyn, New York on a H1b visa.
Based on the fact that we have been law abiding tax paying legal
immigrants, we would like to reach out to you and let you know our issues.
Our main issue is career stagnation. Unavilability of visa number
(retrogression) locks us up with the same employer for years together and
does not allow us to grow careerwise and unable to make critical and life
decisions.
We duly understand that there is a 7% per country upper limit when
Visa numbers are allocated and the fact that India and China has been over
subscribed. These caps and limits are hurting us. STRIVE ACT and SKIL
Bill have provisions to raise the cap and we would like to support these
bills and the provisions.
High tech and health care are sectors where highly skilled immigrants
from all over the world are attracted to and want to contribute in the
best ways we can to pursue our American dream. We would like to contribute
to the growth and development of America in the best possible way. Please
support us and help us in our cause.

Sincerely,


XXXXXXXXXXX

There may be members posting their thoughts and suggestions on multiple websites. Right now immigrationvoice.org is separate org and has a different approach to others that I know. This org is going to raise funds and hire professional strategist who knows how to cross a minefield and get our priorites introduced in one or other vehicle of legislation.

Everyone here on this org is:

1. Affected by retrogression.
2. Already tried individual efforts to educate/convince congress to eliminate employment based retrogression and raise GC quote for EB2, EB3.
3. Realized after defeat of provisions in S 1932 in the house that we need professional help and need to spend money, time and efforts to get it done.

While individual efforts are not bad, lobbying certainly makes a lot of difference when it comes to get our priorities stay in legislation during intense debate over immigration in general.

Please keep you valuable contributions coming in terms of your time, forum replies and money. We have raised $5000 dollars in 2 days and our goal is $100,000 for professional lobbying help and we need to raise that much in next few weeks.

Thanks,
logiclife.

Didn't you know for sure that you were going to stay with employer before asking them to apply GC.

It may be illegal by Law by asking you to give the money back, but where would you put your action of wasting somebody's money?

Not sure the contracting terms between you and your employer, but surely he was not the one forcing you to join the company, its you joined.

If he was ready to help you to get GC, ready to invest atleast 9K on the process, why would you think his money is there just for you to play.

Of course, you have valid points by law, you may escape from the latch now, but make sure this is not an repeating event.

Got the cards in the mail. My online case status says the application is still pending.

Folks (those whose PDs are current this month),

Check with your attorney, in your mail boxes along with the online USCIS case status. You may get the good news in your mail box or from your attorney's office before your status is updated online.

This is what my attorney had to say:

The USCIS online status system is maintained by contract workers and is often inaccurate.

I have a pending I-485 application (EB-3) and effective Oct 1, my PD will be current. My application has been pending for more than six months already so I will be covered by AC21. I never worked for my sponsoring employer but will be as soon as I get my GC.

I have a feeling that my green card is just around the corner. Spoke to my employer yesterday about my employment with them and it looks like they are changing their minds about hiring me.

I am so worried. Anybody in the same situation? What do I do? Will I lose the green card?

Well, you have two options:

1. Use AC 21 (I am assuming your 140 is approved and 485 is filed more than 6 months ago) and move to another employer BEFORE the approval of GC. With this option, neither you nor your employer would have any obligation for the job after GC approval. Your AC 21 employer is now the "new permanent job" for you after GC approval.

2. If you have good terms with the employer, ask them to hire you for at least 1-2 months after GC approval and then "fire" you. This way you would be safe. (it was not your fault but the employer fired you). Also if the employer does not pay salary mentioned in LC, you can leave them giving that reason (save the pay stubs for evidence later on, if asked for).

3. If your employer simply do not offer you a job after the approval of GC, it still would not be yoru fault. In this scenario, likelyhood is that, you will be safe. However, this technically would be a sort of misrepresentation by the employer and on that grould USCIS can revoke your GC saying that "employer falsified the initial job offer and there was really no job ever for the position mentioned on LC". While this is a possibility it is a remote possibility.

I would suggest option 1,2 and 3 in that order as "desirability" of your situation.

Again I am not a lawyer, but this is what I can suggest as far as I know.

Good Luck.

Thank you very much, I will be sending the document tomorrow:)

I have observed that typically after becoming great, have a tendency to hide his/her EB3 roots. I mean, who'll hire you as a CEO or rocket scientist if they knew you used to be an EB3.

Obama's father was a Kenyan EB3, but Obama insists his father was an EB2. The labor certification that the white house has put out for Barack Obama is clearly a fake.

It's sad but true, America still judges you not by the content of your character but the color of your labor certification.

I propose that EB3s append "EB3" to their name (like Ganesh Teesravarg ME(Comp Sci.), EB3) so that they get more visibility, and ppl realize they live among us, and with some help can actually be productive members of society.

my I-140 is pending for than 600 days as well in addition to my pending I-485.
while using EAD with my current GC applying employer(lets say not
getting paid as in this economy its hard to find corp to corp jobs), can I
work another job full time using EAD?

:eek:

What the h### am i getting the red dots for anyway? it looks kinda cool!

Why Indians bash Bush ? He has always respected our community and helped us through. He has even fought with his fellow conservatives like Tancredo on this issue,Stop supporting the democrats and strart thinking like Indians. Make sure you understand that Democratic party does not give a damn on Iraq was attacked and people are getting killed. They need their own vote bank from dumb public in this country. Don;t get used in hands of democrats. They have used us from last thirty years. If someone thinks that Bush is an idiot, he is a super idiot. Bush is a straight forward guy and 90% Americans hate him because he speaks truth. Now you have to decide that Bush is good for immigrants or those scum bag democrats.

Friends,
1. I have approved I140 > 180 days in actually 300 days
please help

The only missing thing I see is that I-485 has also been pending for > 180 days.. If thats true.. you are good to go... 140 > 180 days has not much significance... only approved 140 is important... Good luck...

Before you get all mushy about AILA and start bashing USCIS take deep look and see if AILA is really acting as a friend or a adversary in friends disguise?
atleast they are doing something. I have not recd a RFE but I can understand the tension that a family undergoes because of RFE ..I don't understand your problems with AILA though ?? less RFE's mean less lawyers fees and it is high time that someone talks about the unprofessional USCIS

Extremely well put together. Can we send it to USCIS director so that it can make some impact ??

This definitely is related to CIR!

Due to time contraints doctor sent me for a chest x-ray and skipped the TB skin test. Chest x-ray came back negative. Question: Is a TB skin test required if a chest x-ray is negative? No remarks were made as to why TB skin test was not given. Should suggest, to a reasonable person, that no active TB is present

I've known a few EB-1's. The typical profile is a guy with a few years experience working in a desi outsourcing company in India. Their direct reports are a few freshers from colleges you've never heard of, some with 3 yr diplomas.
After a year, they move here on L-1 visa and promptly apply for GC. In the US, their direct reports are other fresh H-1Bs or L-1s. They plan the whole thing just with an EB-1 in mind - and they get it too.

In the past EB-1 numbers have been unused and distributed to EB-2/EB-3. I don't see that happening in the future.

Only 215 votes for EB2 India?

Assuming an equal number for EB3 India, EB2 China, and EB3 China, we have a total of 856 people who have applied for PD?

We have more than 8000 members, so are we to assume the 7000 and odd members are ROW?

Something doesn't add up.

Can ROW people please have a poll for yourselves?

This guy might not have even seen the airport/airplane�.:rolleyes:
