hello every1,

I was wondering how many of you are here who had applied their labor with MS + 0 years of experience for EB2 category..

Could you please shed some light on your profile and current standing in GC process ??

Thank youu....

My current position was advertised as MS with 0 years experience even though I had MS + 4 years experience. However I applied in old labor system (pre-PERM).

I disagree. I think that we will see an another attempt at CIR bill. Dems will want to capitalize on their surge among the hispanic bloc; see the comments by Nancy Palosi [sp?]. An attempt will be made to cast it as an aid for economy: to bring people out of shadows so that they can buy houses etc.

But then this is just my opinion which, like yours, is just an opinion. Heck even my 5 year old these days does not seem to hold my opinion in any regard :)

Thats the concern. CIR pits illegals vs legals. The CIR bill allocates quotas from legals to illegals.

Unfortunately it means the 485 will also be denied.....
unless you can appeal the 1-140 which is a lengthy process.....
Hopefully luck is on your side....

again please ask your lawyer as to what the best way to go is....

Its in the Visa Bulletin itself

First: Priority Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers not required for fourth and fifth preferences.

Second: Members of the Professions Holding Advanced Degrees or Persons of Exceptional Ability: 28.6% of the worldwide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers not required by first preference.

Third: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide level, plus any numbers not required by first and second
preferences, not more than 10,000 of which to "Other Workers".

Fourth: Certain Special Immigrants: 7.1% of the worldwide level.

Fifth: Employment Creation: 7.1% of the worldwide level, not less than 3,000 of which reserved for investors in a targeted rural or high-unemployment area, and 3,000 set aside for investors in regional centers by Sec. 610 of P.L. 102-395.

I understood from a congressmans office that my case was with an officer on October 8th and I would hear a response within 45 days.

Nothing happened and have now been told following a service request that if I do not hear anything within six months to contact the customer service again.

From my perspective being told your case is with an officer means absolutely nothing at all.

thanks gcisadawg,

Guys,

I think they are doing it across in NY.
This is really stupid. Most of the people will not have valid stamping on an expiring passport.

San Francisco was fine. They gave me for 10 years in January.

Don't know what their policy now.




Hi friends,
My brother in NJ got his new passport at NY Indian consulate (since old one was expiring soon). They gave new passport which was valid for only one year - saying that they need valid unexpired visa-stamp to give 10 year validity passport.
They said that they will NOT accept
- valid unexpired EAD
- valid unexpired AP
- valid 485 receipt
- even valid unexpired H1 approval notice (my brother still has H1 in addition to AP)
...Now it is so absurd that, even if my bro went for visa stamping (which he isn't planning), he will not probably be issued 3 yr visa as passport is valid for very short duration. A chicken and egg problem.
In addition why do Indian consulate worry about our visa status for determining passport validity duration ? If they do care then at least they must accept the legal documents (ead/ap/485 receipt/h1 approval notice) to make a decision.

I will appreciate if anyone has a solution to this problem. All answers appreciated.

I am so sad (and mad) that lawmakers of our country are still haunting us while we are away from our country and trying to contribute to its progress.

it is stoop, not stop :)

You know you're getting old when you stop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you're down there.

Mr.gnutin or any other expert,

Can you please confirm whether I have to stick with the company for 180 days after the 140 approval, if i am planning to change the job to port the Priority date?


Thanks

Really? Nobody? Nothing? :( Please, any advice will do, I'm desperate, I don't want to leave in 2 weeks, I need some more time with my partner...

I will post this on the So.Cal state chapter

what happens when the I-140 is not approved, if one uses AC21 after 180 days of concurrent filing of I-140 and 485, does a withdrawl by the employer affect anything?

Read the Yates memo...After 180 days of I485 pending, the employer's revocation of I140 has not effect on the GC application. But I know a few cases where this was an issue, so make sure you are armed with proof like pay stubs, employment letter et al.

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...

I had an infopass appointment at San Francisco today to inquire about my name check. I am a July 2007 485 filer. PD March 2006, I140 - May 2006, 485 RD- July 27, 2007 and ND- Aug 27, 2007.

The agent said that they dont hold cases for name check any more since April 2008 and cannot tell what is the status of the name check. I also inquired about my 485 case and she said pointing to the Notice Date of my 485 not the Receipt DATE, that currently Nebraska is processing Aug 10th cases.

I wanted to know from you whether there is any other way to get the info about name check and whether the processing is based on Reciept date or notice date?

Any idea?

cheers

The way USCIS behave anything can happen any time...

Dont loose your heart ...

You just started the journey....

Good Luck...

Hi Everybody,

I know that nobody has an answer for my question, but still i would like to get the views/inputs from the seniors here , who have experience with USCIS.

When do you think a person with PD of Nov 2007 ,EB3 from India, would be able to file for 485??

I think if they did not get the interview already, they will need to wait until the dates become current again. If they have interview scheduled in July, they can go a head and attend the interview and get the GC.

While today's development is great news for folks in the 485/AOS cue, what happens with people in CP? With the opening of the floodgates, I am unsure when visas will be available to CP cases who were scheduled for interviews in Aug and beyond. I am a great supporter of today's victory, but I am unsure where CP cases stand now? Another 4 year wait?

To travel out of the US when a 485 is pending,

1. You should have AP or

2. A valid H-1, H-4 or L-1, L-2 stamp on the passport + 485 receipt

So in your case, you have to wait until you either get the AP or the H-4 change is effective. Until then, you cannot travel.

Back in 2007, we did a lot of PR work, we pleaded, begged, motivated, requested ... we kept on doing it consistently.

There is a lot of work that needs to be done. The active folks must motivate the passive folks.

It is worse than that.. :)

Please watch the following youtube video to understand how USCIS works

that was amazing. Is the maker of that video an IV member?

I have a feeling this could get evil...

Hello All,

I want to start an interesting discussion - not sure whether a thread already exists or a similar discussion has already taken place.

We all know about the current state of the economy and current unfortunate unemployment rate. We all also know that majority jobs lost are in construction, manufacturing etc. We also know that some people (who have no other choice) are targetting legal EB community as if they are responsible for all this mess.

I want people to discuss the other things like DV Lottery, Chain Family Migration or any other popular programs from labor/unemployment point of view. Please no intent to discuss it from any other angle at all.

These forms of migration bring a lot of uneducated (or less educated), unskilled (or low skilled) population/labor into the country which contribute higher for the unemployment rate (for both numerator and denomenator - rate = # unemployed/# total).
example: suppose in a hypothetical community of 10000000, 300000 are unemployed. They have 3% of unemployement rate.
Supposed 30K unskilled (or low skilled) labor is added (which neither creates jobs nor are employed). Now if they are added, the rate becomes 330000/10030000 or ~ 3.3%

This can be bad example but it was just to put a point forward.

Are there any statistics (again?) available about the effect of DV, chain family migration or any such program in the last 10-15 years towards the unemployment rate today? A lot of unskilled (or low skilled) labor was added to the economy which was OK during upward economy but cannot sustain at all in down economy like this.

Thanks,
M.
