I wonder what our children and grandchildren will learn from all these. When they grow up and know that their parents had to go through this mess while waiting to be accepted legally for xxxx number of years and some people got the "grand reward" of being illegal for many years!! These CIRcus operators will be responsible for the loss of "very little" moral left in this country. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
first they should learn spanish

Looking at this latest bullet from USCIS it feels that Eb3 and even Eb2 Indians and illegals have only hope in CIR.What a sad state for indians.

02/28/2008: FBI Name Check Backlogs Eligible for 485 Adjudication in Service Centers

* According to the withdrawn USCIS FAQ on FBI Name Check Backlog I-485 case new adjudication policy after 180 days of name check request, they estimated the total eligible 485 cases at 46,000 or something. Now, according to the AILA Q&A with the USCIS HQ Service Center Operation office on February 20, 2008, the Service Centers located approximatlely 10,000 cases that were waiting name checks only and they estimated that there would be additional 15,000 cases that would fit the new policy. There is no specific timeline announced, but there are some indications that these cases may be adjudicated from one month to approximately three or four months. It appears that the USCIS is mindful of the potential EB visa number retrogression and may want to adjudicate these cases as soon as possible.

Incidently the murthy deletes all your posts if you mention anything about immigrationvoice.com or immigration-law etc. May be they fear they will loose the business!!! Who will give them business anyway:D :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

BBBBRrrrrrrrr another idiot

1) My screen name has nothing to do with the argument here. If we discuss my screen name we are going on a tangent which is very typical of desis (I rememeber womanly taunts in movies and woman gossip where they would pick anything but would niether make a point nor a valid argument)

so you can see where your argument is going..

2) Hopefull signifies optimism. A pessimist is an optimist who is very analytical or knows better. Your argument is similar to "And they lived happily ever after ...(after singing around green trees) ...." ignoring the ground reality, facts that no dent has been made and also turninga blind eye to the fact that there are people since 2001/2002 stuck. Its 2007 meaning five years and if the Dept is not willing to budge after all these efforts to a number more than 7000, and you still are HOPEFULL ignoring the facts means that you are an idiot. Yes you will get your GC before you die for sure provided you live upto the age of appx 70 and your consulting firm is around and you are not tired of the bickering with your employer.

Its just like a Yash Chora SRK movie ...it only happens in reel life and not real life ..

3) as far as the FT job goes we both knwo it deep within what it means...i hope you are smart enough to get the point and wont make me word it to emabrass you further..

4) if you would be intelligent enough to shed some light on how kindness and make you get your GC in thsi scenario ...

just a piece of advise ..STOP BEING DUMB


Very well then, let me practice some Gandhi giri and kindness.

Dear Hopefull,

I hope all members of this forum are relieved of the burden of this unnecessary long wait time. No human being is gaining anything in making several hundred thousand people to wait at a point in their lives. I hope that you get your green card long before everybody else. And I hope that you keep you FT job and you progress in your life more so than you expect.

Around 3 weeks back I got my green card. And if there was a way for me to give you my green card, I would have done so gladly. I did my masters in US a few years back and for couple of years during and just after my school years, a part of me used to think that working in consulting firm was below my standard and people getting education in US university are the only worthy human beings. After having lived through few years of my life at my job, now I have "slightly" matured from my yester years. Now I think that number of degrees doesn’t make some one better than others without a degree. I have worked at a full time job for last 7 years in a Fortune 10 company. Some of my best friends work for consulting companies and these are fine gentlemen. I have learnt a lot from my friends. In the end, I think it makes no difference how many degrees one earned or whether one is working for a consulting firm or at a FT. What we are made of is reflected in our behavior towards others around us and it has nothing to do with the number of masters degrees one has earned. Anyways, hope you get your green card soon and you do well in life. And I hope that you become source of peace and joy for others around you.

Peace

We should side line these type of guys-Never encourage them ...
Now even people who dont know what is H1 will become aware of it.Dont they know these type of words might bring racist feelings to a common person here soon,if they continue like this .
But each and everyone forget their past that they where also once upon a time an immigrant like us.

That means Eb-2 I screwed....for several months.
God bless all our Eb2-I guys.

this is a good response, seconding it.


Yes, and unfortunately meaningless for me, because my current company won't do an H1 for me. When I joined this new company on EAD, they clearly told me that maintaining valid immigration status is my headache. They won't file any applications to US govt for me. It was made absolutely clear to me. :-(


To OP: Even if you moved to EAD you can come back to H1. If dates had not moved so much to make your PD current, what was your plan for your wife?


B1 visa of course. :-) . Hey, as I said, I did not think about intent issues at that time. Hindsight is always 20-20. But the deed is done. I never look back. In my dictionary, there is no such word as "should have". I either do something or don't do something. Only losers think they "should have" done something.


B1/F1 is not a good idea (immigration intent is obvious, and it will catch up with you at some point most probably during 485 processing and could result in a rejection). It looks like H1-H4 is the best option if you two lovebirds want to be together.


Yes, it does seem so. But I hate to jump to a third company just to get an H1. Let me see if what are my options now.


If you do get approved early, then as someone else has said, use follow-to-join to bring her back here.



Also, using cruel in the thread title is uncalled for.


Hey guys, just go easy on that. As I already mentioned, it was a weak attempt at humor which went over the head of most people. In any case, this looks like another of my deed which is done and refuses to be undone now. I tried to change the title of the thread but could not do so.


The root cause of most of your problems here seems to be the decision to invoke AC-21 using EAD instead of using H1. If you dont mind sharing: why did you jump to EAD knowing that it would mean your wife would be out of status and would have to return to India?

Too many issues at that time. Old h1 was anyway expiring soon. Desi bodyshoper employer was going nuts sqeezing me dry. He was demanding money for everything from H1 extension to giving out compnay letters for GC related issues and thousands of such reasons. But as I already said.. it's done..it's done...

:rolleyes:

Dude you can convert from CP to AOS even after filing for CP. Your CP can be canceled. Vise-versa is more complicated. Even murthy.com had some write up on this. Go search their website.

Talk to a lawyer and stop cribbing here. Your situation is nothing different from others.


Internet/ssnd03,

I would like to clarify few things on behalf of CP filers:

1. Taking CP or 485 route is a personal decision and none of the CP filers have to justify you guys especially when you do not have a pragmatic approach to this issue.

2. If CP filers were not contributing to IV because they were not seeing any benefit out of IV efforts; what do you expect from CP filers to win your kind heart? Contribute in every single way even knowing that IV would do nothing to CP filers? How many such great souls do we have among 485 filers who are here just to get their GC sooner (which means I am not talking about volunteers who have GC but still helping IV - kudos to you guys).

Tell the 485 filers that IV will only take care of members whose PD is over 3 or 4 years old and see how many of those birds will still be on the IV tree!

3. There is no sin, stupid logic in CP filers (who are already in the USA) asking for a provision like EAD. And, CP filers are asking for it just because of the severe retrogression we are in. And they would not have asked for it if there was a separate VISA numbers pool available for CP filers.

You are (or were) just a beneficiary in this system like every one else. CP or 485, every one have equal right to bring up their issue to the Govt.

485 guys want to speed up the name check, multiple year EAD, AP, increase visa numbers to infinity, remove per country limit, make EB2 current just because you guys made a decision to go with EB2 assuming that would be a faster queue. you guys even change EB3 to EB2 to speed up application and even sue USCIS!!! And all this are fair!!!

But a guy should not opt to go for CP assuming that would be a faster queue. Even if he/she does, should not come back and ask for ANY benefits even if the queue comes to a stand still for a decade because of all the July filers!

If the core members come and out and say that IV is only for 485 filers or only for those who have made contribution, then CP filers would take a stand.

Until then, chill out and do not show your frustrations on CP guys.

Why do fingerprints matter so much?

As long as you already have the interim benefits - the EADs & APs - taken care of, what's the significance of FPs?

Transfer people are stuck for FP notices... If only csc could have done the FP along with the ead/ap...

08/22/2007: October 2007 EB Visa Bulletin Prediction of AILA

Based on the discussion with Charlie Oppenheim, Chief of Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting, DOS, the AILA has just released the following predictions:
EB-1 (All Countries): Closely match to September 2007 VB
EB-2 (All Countries): Closely match to September 2007 VB
EB-3 (All Countries): Similar to January 2007 VB
EB-3EW (All Countries): 10/01/2001
EB-4: N/A
EB-5: C
Please stay tuned.

Hope this is correct,will be able to get GC soon then,my EB2 PD is August 2003.

Unfortunately, though it is highly unethical but not illegal
I would like to know How to file a complaint about labor fraud? I just found out that my employer didn't file 485 for me and instead he used the labor for someone else. Is there anyway I can file a complaint? I have no other option except to wait until the dates are current again. I paid all the expenses for labor, 140 and 485.

USCIS filing fees are a fraction of my attorney's fees. If this means faster processing, I am all for it.

Its useless... How many senators, their voters or other decision makers watch those kannada, telugu or even rediff???
Try to contact FOX, CNN, ABC etc.. that will be helpfull.

It is for all those people (the indian diaspora) who do log on to the online versions of their hometown newspapers to check local Indian news, it might be a pleasant surprise to see the news abt the rally out there!!!

Secondly won't you be inclined to be a part of the rally when your mom or dad friend or a cousin read the news back home and asked you " are you a part this movement" imagine all the non commital people saying ummm ummmm food for thought bloke!!:rolleyes:

An BTW I would bet that CNN, FOX and ABC would be forced to cover a rally of this magnitude...

You are unlikely to find any sympathy here, this forum is for LEGAL immigrants. Take your sob story to LaRaza or ACLU.

You too good. I wish everybody does same.

Thank you so much..


You have atleast God to keep faith in. What about non-beleivers like me?
I am just keeping faith IV though.

fyi --
ramus and tikka ,just in case you may jump in, I already sent web faxes and mailed and ...

I don't know if he is gonna mess it up if I file on my own. But Senthil has valid point that he should support if there is an RFE.

Its a very good point... might as well take the hit now BUT make sure you give him the finger and a few words when you throw your resignation letter on his face after getting your ead or if you want to wait till you get your gc!

Sucker will rot in hell for sure!

Man, I-485 for Texas went back more than a month. It's so bad, they might as well not have published it, one would have slept better at night.

How do they come up with these dates? Weren't they supposed to process I-485 applications in the order they received them?

And how come the California Service Center has been doing so well this past few months, while all the other centers have been stationary or going back. CSC is at January 2007 now, fer cryin' out loud!

:mad:

Dan: Was it the trout-eating werm? :beam:


pom: Yeah, he REALLY amazed me with those shadows as well... I can't decide right now.. I need more time...

Quick Chain of events .

India rejected both Boeing and Lockheed Martin's proposal of fighters . I am not debating the reasons or the merits of this decision if this was right or wrong . I am just discussing the potential repercussions this has had so far and might have .

'Exclusion of US firms from IAF jet deal a setback for ties' (http://www.indianexpress.com/news/exclusion-of-us-firms-from-iaf-jet-deal-a-setback.../783401/)

1) The issue is so serious that Tim Roemer , US Ambassador to India submitted his resignation immediately since he was on the hook for making this deal work .This shows the measure of disappointment they had.

2) India was seeking US assurances in security a Permanent Security council seat , which looks far fetched now .

4) Pentagon , Whitehouse and the DoD very upset that deal fell through . This sentiment will certainly percolate to the USCIS and the State department and might embolden Anti Immigration senators whose measures will get more support in the house and senate.

5) Prosecution of companies entangled in cases like Infosys might find more support and favor with the Govt.

Question is how/if there will be a backlash against India / Indian's get back at us at least in the short term .Increased scrutiny and visa denials , PoE Harassment , GC audits etc.

Will the US take a Tit-for-Tat reaction on this issue is what remains to be seen.

You guys only see your greencard hidden in every news story. At least you did not write now people will get more soft LUD because this deal fell through.

The US India relationship will now get better.

For once some Indian politician thought sensibily about India's interest.
Read this news UPDATE 1-US to supply Pakistan with 85 mini-drones | Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/21/usa-pakistan-drones-idUSLDE73K1TB20110421)

Yes, I am not taking her words as unwritten law as we all know that NC is killing many people for years. So I would request to take that as a guide line.

Another meaning I can extract is if today you took infopass for NC and got nothing or "pending" do not bother yourself next 4 months for inquiry.

On a side note, I was wondering what happens to derivative/secondary beneficiaries 485 applications if the primary beneficiary is stuck in name check.....If secondary beneficiaries are cleared and primary is not, then does USCIS approve GCs for secondary beneficiaries..
