Why not GC_sufferer do it for us

thats ok, no need of apologies. all i am asking you is to keep it to the point that you opened this thread for and discuss the options. We do not need to go into who is the guru here with so many number of postings etc..its totally irrelevant to this thread. again, when you open a thread with questions, please be prepared not to accept atleast expect different forms of opinions from different people. u have a nice evening too.
Ok what i have heard after calling Lufthansa is because of the new Schezewan (I knmow i spelled it worng) visa changes AP is no longer considered a valid visa document by Germany. It used to before but no longer and of course France, England and other countres never did. So coming back to Germany yes while travelling to and fro you need a transit visa (Direction does not make any difference because as far as Germany is concerned you are from India and you have no Valid visa to America and/or any european country so you are suspect of trying to illegally enter Germany and to avioid it you need to buy transit visa).

I myself was plannig for a trip and was trying for travle via Doha and Qatar where no transit visa is required. (Us to gluf direct flight. Gulf to any city in india) but the rates were high. If you like you can look at that opiton too. beats the hell out of going to teh german embassy and getting a transit visa. But if that is your preference go with it

All the best

"Folks who are Re-Filing just out of anxiety",

Do you realize that this duplicate App is going to increase the turnaround from 90 to 120 days ?

Please put some thought man - USCIS clearly said that FEDEX/USPS signed receipt is acceptable proof for EAD/AP filing in one of the FAQ's so if its get rejected out of USCIS error you can refile later.

SuperUsers and Moderators - What is your take on this ??

Thanks,

You think they will stick to the 90 days estimate if none of us refile?

The reason is...probably we are not toiling that hard....As long as one has a paying job, things go reasonably smooth.....and we dont toil as much as it is made out to be.
The issue comes only when one loses the job...and had to play catch-up with immigration to keep us in status.

That is also the reason why you don't get mass participation in legal immigration activities.
I presume people are just happy with the status-quo! They think of going that extra length only when that status quo gets disrupted..

My 2 cents!

People will do anything only when they are in trouble. Before that they are happy with their status and would rather spend their time and dollars on fun things in life. Only when reality hits hard they will do anything. A fragmented effort will never be successful. Imagine if this driver License is taken up by thousands of people in a state and they march to the governor office on a day. This issue will make national headlines and state will correct it soon.

Especially after when you have kids. You are booted out of your bed and the kids take your place.
Believe it or not I got so sick of sleeples nights (my 18 months old kid virtually rotates like a clock on bed all night long) that I had to buy a twin size sofa bed and place it next to our King Size bed. These days I am sleeping on that bed.

this confirms that you are not married.
I am, and as every married male knows, you sleep alone. Does not matter how many wives you have. Its something to do with the transformation that occurs in them as they go from girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0.

Look, everybody interprets and sees the way they like and the way they want. Like I only chose to respond to the red dot issue and it is my choice not to respond to the other part of what you wrote. If I "chose" not to respond to the other part, according to you, my interpretation is impaired, right? That means anytime someone doesn't respond according to the way you want them to respond, there is something inherently wrong with them or their interpretation or their understanding. Is that right? Hmmmm, let me think about this, and maybe you may also want to take a moment to think about it.

About the red dot system, I don't care for the red dot system, but what I do is, I do not look at the comments, why, because I don't care what others on the anonymous forum have to say in my reputation. So I simply don't care. But if I would care my reputation score on the anonymous forum where no one knows me or for that matter you, then I would check how my reputation is doing every day, just my credit score. Did you think of the possibility that maybe folks at IV want to keep the red dots system the way it is and there is nothing to be fixed? But just because you do not like it, be default you think that something is broken and so it has to be fixed, and, if this is not fixed that means you are not happy, the entire immigration system will continue to be screwed up. Hmmmm, you know, I think some elements of string theory is true that everything is connected in someway, but I am 100% sure that immigration system can be fixed without any change to the red dot system.

And if you think that you or your friends are losing "self-respect" when participating in any internet blogs/forum, and if you find anything offensive on the open internet forum, you are not cut-out for forums and blogs and you cannot help anyone, or, for that matter yourself. If your ego is so shallow that it hurts everytime someone writes anything on the open forum, in this situation, only 1 person needs help, that would be you.


Good Night and Good Luck.

Sanju,

There are two issues that I have posted on this thread.

1. Interpretation/understanding a post.
2. RED DOT issue ( this is not my priority) . If you read the post keenly.

You, .. your self have made a mistake in Interpretating / understanding the post and reacted overly on the second issue by cornering the actual post.

Do you call this as a Interpretation issue?. Did you get what am I saying. First , read and understand what others meant to be. Don't JUMP on it.


If IV cannot fix this RED DOT issue, how could some one believe in IV would fight for FIXING broken immigration system?.


Perspective is not always matters, there are times .... some thing else matter too. Which is called "Self Respect"

When few people are spending time and knowledge on sharing their thoughts/ideas, how good it would to use F***words against them?.

There are many BAD words ... that some members have used against of my friends. Who no more wanted to participate in IV?.


Did you get what am I saying?

sanju,
you said: at some point uscis would send a request to you for employer verification?
why would they need that: as we have submitted that at the time flinig 485?

i dont know if the above is true only for consultancies?

i work in a big software corp and never heard of any queries at all?
approved 140, file 485, wait for 180 days, change jobs, no queries at all (irrespective of whether you change jobs or not)

am i missing something here?

thx

I took Lufthansa and traveled in November via Frankfurt with out a valid visa and did not had any issues with the transit visa. I had visa while coming back.

Thought I should share my EB-3 (horror) story:

First initiated my RIR labor in 01/2002
PD: Aug 02,2002
RD: Sept 18, 2003
Approval: June 19 2007
I765 & 131 renewed 4 times.

Though I graduated with a Masters' degree from here back in '98, I was wrongly advised by a lawyer (who I unfortunately knew) who said I did'nt meet min. salary requirements and put me in EB-3 instead of EB-2 (though all my friends who graduated with me were in EB-2 and I knew they could'nt be making a whole lot more than I was). So if your lawyer wants to put you in EB-3 even though you're eligible for EB-2 change lawyers right away; It will mean a world of difference when things go bad. Chances are, the lawyer wants minimum paperwork & hassles to deal with. To add to bad luck, I had an Indian manager who refused to pay for my green card and even the ads for RIR labor, even though he got his green card paid for. Anyways priority dates were current for all categories back then (2002-3) just like it is today when they reclaimed unused numbers so this attorney had said EB3 vs EB2 won't be a problem and convinced me to go with EB3. This 'current' situation went on for some time (a year or so perhaps(?) to 2004 or 05; I do not remember) and then the DOS went and retrogressed EB3 back to 1999! During the year or two Priority Dates were current the INS (as it was called then) took their sweet time in processing cases progressing real slow. So when they were about 3-4 months away from processing my PD and I thought I was real close to 485 approval, the DOS did their thing and retrogressed dates all the way back to 1999 and has become current only now. It hit me with a gale force effect when it retrogressed.

It's almost like things swing like a pendulum between the two departments. If you're real lucky and time it right things can go smooth. If not yes you're screwed like I was and things can go bad one after the other. This time around I was almost sure the USCIS will take a go slow policy and wait for dates to retrogress once again like the last time. I was very surprised by the HUGE movements of 485 processing dates. Things are looking far better this time with these dates. Focus on getting your EAD and Advance paroles ASAP. I-140 premium processing will be worth it. Good luck to you all.

Hi can someone provide link plz

President Obama is not just far left.

He is far too liberal(left) fiscally and far too conservative(right) socially.

What does that say ? No relief for us from him, we should look forward for someone else to help us.

Thanks for the reply
I don't have a muslim name. I am a Hindu so as my name.
Dubai, Bahrain i went there for project implementations. kuwait was my office place and i traveled those places for work.

But all those 3 countries are allies with US, people often consider Kuwait as US 53rd state. By any chance can we see that exempted countries list.

Maybe this is triggering delays but it should be ok.. do you have a muslim name? It may be that processing is slightly slower for muslims who have spent time in the middle-east.. it is a good idea to avoid travelling to places like Dubai etc - I know people get questioned more when they arrive from these places to the US.

They didn't mentioned it in the press release though..

Count me in...No FP

My PERM was filed on 30th March, approved on Aug 11th, received approval copy on 18th Aug, and I-140 to be filed this week.

There was a lot of prep work involved before filing PERM in March. My employer agreed to start the process in Oct'09 and the lawyers started the ads in early Jan.

Yep, lots of work in there. I suppose, the maximum work is in this area.

If you're talking about rent vs buy, everything you've said or will say has already been discussed here:

http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/07/16/renting-vs-buying-the-realities-of-home-buying/

In India religious minorities have the rights to their own personal laws. I believe the Muslim personal law allows Muslims in India to have more than 1 wife.

I think you mean UTAH.

Is it legal to have more than one wife in India?

well, if it hasn't been a rule in the other battles, then by all means VOTE AWAY :P

Did any RFE recently please post?

Hi all,

Now H1 period no longer counts against H4 period. As H4 is allowed to do volunteer I work, I had taken up few Volunteer Projects and done some Open Source Projects for keeping my Skills updated.

Is it advisable to put all these expeience in resume, while applying for a new H1B or only professional experience should be shown on the resume.

Advice please.

We have applied for our AP renewal on 05/09 at NSC. I have noticed online status change to our I131s today with the following message. Is this a RFE? if so, what could be the RFE for AP? Your help and input appreciated.

Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
