Still only 6 people have courage to speak out. What is running in your veins, water?

We may not be able make changes in the law now but we might be able to get some relief on restrictions, that does not allow law making.

Educate yourself or suffer...

Guy, we can send a small hand written card to our senators and to QGA(if we are thankful enough). Thi is what I'm going to do:cool:

Would it be a good idea to create and send webfax to QGA and the Senators & their staff?

All the members, keep the contributions coming...we have a huge task ahead to get it through the House.

Thanks Lasantha and prinve.
Now how and where do I check LUD?

Thanks you are right on consular processing and you are also right that on transfer receipt one can start working

But I am still confused on entering USA. I read on all the forums, you can enter usa with a Transfer Receipt if your h1 stamp is still valid.

So thats something i am trying to sort out.

That was a huge sigh of relief. Thanks and I really appreciate your answers.
Hopefully, I'll get my EAD (PD is April 2007 on EB2) before they respond back with MTR response.

Here is:

e-file 765(180 $)
Send copy of 485 along with printout of receipt
Wait for FP appointment
Done(got cards 40 days later)


I already did it for wife, son and myself.

Saved about 1500$

What is the url for e-filing?Pls post here

There is no need to change the date on I-94. As long as you have the I-797 approval petition you are good. When you leave the country, you MUSTgive the I-94 to the airline authorities. If you go to Mexico by road, there is no one to take your I-94 and so you will have illegally left the US - which can lead to problems. If you fly, you are fine!

But still, unless you are going on vacation, do not waste your money.

EAD applied at NSC on 12/06.
USCIS recd date 12/07
RFE on Feb 9th for Photographs
RFE replied on Feb 14th.
Still pending.

Called Larry Craig's office!

Most people think law suit is a bad thing, but that is not right. In a democratic country law suit is the right way to deal with things. We are legal immigrants, we have all the rights to file a law suit, but with full support of IV.

People have already filed a law suit on the same day the President signed the bill! (yesterday, the wire tapping bill...)

By filing a law suit, all we are trying to do is to fix the laws which are not working. Basically, we are doing the right thing. Not only us, but future Legal immigrants will be benefitted, they don't have to go thru what we had to...

Here are the things that needs to be fixed...

1. Country quota
2. Recapturing visas.
3. 3 year EAD/AP
4. End the endless wait ( Proposing a new law )
5. Remove the same/similar confusion in AC21


What is "End the endless wait" ?

EAD is a very good example, If 90 days have passed after filing EAD, you have the option to go to a local USCIS office and get a temp one. We should have a similar option for all the peper work. For example, each and every stage in green card process should have a a day count for processing. Like name check should be completed in 180 days.

Basically, when we receive any receipt notice, it should have a statement which reads "We have received your application and we will take action within 180 days. If we fail to act by MM-DD-YYYY, Please go to the nearest USCIS for approval.."

Sounds little ambitious ?? well, we are not asking for too much, just a day count. Lets say if the whole Green card process takes 3 years or 10 years based on the day count for each stage, people can decide whether they want to immigrate to USA with a clear idea that it will take x days to become a permanent resident ( like how it works in all other countries except USA)

Even a person jailed gets to know how long he is going to spend his time behind bars, but we do not know when we will be free from this immigration mess!

We have been running a funding drive for months with the target of 50K and it is sad to say we are not even half way through. I see only 200+ members contributing to funding drive. To execute any idea, you need money - especially law suit requires lot of money :) IMHO, all should make IV financially sound, if the immigration community to see some fruits

Hi all,
My attorney (a great guy by the way) filed my I485 without my employment verification letter. When I raised the question, he argued that the employment verification letter cannot be a ground for denial and that worst case scenario will be USCIS sending a RFE.
Is it true that it is not a ground for denial?
Is is possible to send it it separately to complete the file?
What would be your advice?
Thanks is advance.

My five stars. Also e-mailes to friends and colleagues to watch and rate the video

Guys, sorry I do not understand the numbers very well. Assuming the same amount of spillover numbers for 2011, what will be the status of EB2 by December-2011??


Thanks,
Prasad.

Only for the first time it is hard for you. Second time it becomes very easy.

There are many here right from PD 2003, have no parents, no brothers, no sisters, no relatives and no friends back home eventhough they still live there.

Our only relative/friend/brother/sister is USCIS nowadays, it decides what we need to do when we wake up everyday!

Eventually people may think of naming their kids like "USCIS", "DOS", "EAD", "AP" etc.

:D

Congrats on getting ur recepit!

Did your apps get transferred to Texas/Cal service centres? Does your recepit have LIN/SRC/WAC prefixes?


Thanks a lot!

Hi

I have a H1B visa valid till Apr 2009(still i can extend 3 more years). I am going to file I-140 and I-485 together on EB2 category. Along with this I am going to apply EAD for me and my wife.

What will be the status of my H1B if my EAD got approved and I-140 is still pending. In case if my I-140 get rejects, will i be out of status or I can continue with same H1B if i don't change company?

Or better to apply EAD for me (not to my wife) after the I-140 approval?

Please help me..

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for all that good information. You mentioned about O*NET category and job zone. What is O*NET category and how do I know what category does my current job and expected future job fall under?

I am also thinking on same line. I requested lawyer to provide me details.
Hi guys,

My wife doesnt have SSN yet. We both have our 485's pending. I have my SSN.

To get the Economic stimulus amount, we both have to file taxes with our SSNs. Since we dont her SSN, we cannot file before APR 17th.

So,
I am going to apply for a tax filing extension (which gives me 6 mths)
Simultaneously, I am going to apply for her EAD
Hopefully EAD takes 4 mths
Then I will apply for SSN
and then file our taxes with both our SSNs
hopefully, we get our economic stimulus after that.

Does this sound reasonable? or is there any other way I can do this?

Thanks.

Good luck to everybody.

Congratulations,

dependent getting the approval before primary happens, and the good news about that is that you will be approved as well. Sometimes the people who are supposed to update the system and issue notices dont get to all the applications at one time. or maybe they forget to commit the transaction :)

To those wondering about how he was able to file should browse through archives of bulletins to note that his PD was current at a particular time. and current in July hence approval.

Lets not get upset over the good luck of others. Sometimes it is so hard to be happy for others when our own conditions seem a little gloomy.

Guys ,
Is there anyone know whether H1 increasing issue will be introduced again in Congress or not ?


YES. I believe that will certainly be re-introduced as one of the measures in 2006

>if one enters using AP,then works for his current employer , even then, >he/she has to leave and reenter to get h1 status? or only in case of ac21?

Ok, after using AP there are two ways in order to reinstate H1B status.

1) By applying H1b extension after entering on AP
2) going out of country and entering with valid h1b visa stamp.

This is based on what i read in immigration-law.com and again as per murthy office.



can you please explain little more? what is meant by after invoking, is it AC21?

If one enters using AP,then works for his current employer , even then, he/she has to leave and reenter to get h1 status? or only in case of ac21?
thanks in advance.
