Does replying to RFE along with all required documents means GC is coming soon ??

Augustus..did you get GC yet ?

Thanks


My husband too replied to the RFE. So far, there has been only case resumed message. I am not sure if this kind of RFE will result in a Green Card. I pray that we all get our cards soon. I feel we have all given our share of sacrifices and played it fair and square so far.

As for as I know USCIS local office has stopped issuing interim EAD some where from 2006.
The only option we have is to request for expedite process which we can do by calling the USCIS customer service number. This you can get it in the USCIS website.

I think we can get the infopass only if 90 days has passed or if your EAD is going to expire soon and you need immediate attention.

Thanks buddy!
BTW, How to get an INFOPASS appointment?

I got the same LUD on AP on 7/27/2008
EB2 India PD 04/2006.

Happy thanksgiving to employers and lawyers.

Happy thanksgiving to ALIPAC, NumbersUSA, Fairus, Zazona, ProgrammersGuild.

Happy thanksgiving to Ron Hira

Happy thanksgiving to Lou Dobbs

I second that.

Lots of spam lately... scum of the Internet, I wish there was some suitable punishment.

NO.
[QUOTE=gauravsh;338657].....will there is any issues at POE due to my long absence on H1B?/QUOTE]

its kinda interesting why there is no appointment available sooner. I am in florida and i heard frmo my attorney on Thursday.. and called 3 doctors Friday morning.. all three said come down right now. Finally went to one of them the same day in the afternoon.. he did some blood work.. gave me MMR and TD.. and did TB test. I want back today morning and got my all the reports.

As far as I know, we need to get only one blood work done.. doctor can test both HIV and Syph in the same one.

There are places (even though not remote) , you cant get appointments for weeks. There must be different reasons for that. I don't think any one answered the OP question:

What blood tests need to be done (apart from HIV and Siphyllis)?

Dont engage in such Cliche mentality,tell the significance of the festival, I dont understand most of the Indian Parents are engaged in propogating such a behavior in kids. Instill strong character,values and traditions in your kids.Not this kind of half baked crap.
Happy Deepavali to all.

Agree with you on that. We don't need a customized boilerplate narrative version of an important event for immigrants of Indian origin/ethnicity.

Happy Diwali to all immigrants for whom it has significance.

Either you can enrich your skills by joining some short term courses or do small work (like teaching kids/ day care/ dance classes/ singing etc) where in you can earn CASH .................. I am not sure of your background so cannot comment on choices that you have.

Summer travel season is around the corner, and unfortunately, because of the swine flu scare, each and every person entering India from USA (and some other countries) will have to go through a medical screening (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/American--European-visitors-to-be-screened-for-swine-flu/articleshow/4457075.cms) at the airports beginning yesterday. Some chaos is expected, particularly in busy terminals such as Delhi and Mumbai, given that "Airport authorities said they are still in the dark and are yet to gear up for these checks". So, it may be a good idea if those of you, who have just returned from India, share your experiences with this procedure; for example, the likelihood of facing stricter screening (or even a brief quarantine) if someone sneezes/coughs for any reason, or the "fitness certificate" forms that airlines are supposed to hand over to each passenger, etc.

I personally think this is nothing but a pay back time.. Remember when Bird Flu or SARS breakout happened, how US and other countries reacted and were screening people (travelers) from East.. In a way this "might" help in containing the virus but deep down this is just stupid ego.

You did to me so I will do the same to you..

Might be slightly more than 6 months...But much faster than EB3/EB2 India/china....

Are you saying this is just 6 months for GC thru L1A ? Wow !:eek:

Hi,

I got laid off in dec-08....

As I am on job at present,...



Your post is confusing. If you got laid off, how come you are on job as yet?

Have you found a new job? Are you working on new H1 or EAD?

Please clarify before I can answer wisely.

Hello Members,

Can someone please clarify my doubt below:
If I have an approved H1B starting Oct 1st 2008, will I be able to cancel it to be able to continue on my OPT (valid till June 2009) and get a 17 month extension from June 2009?

Thanks in Advance.

You're going to destroy us all! Giving people a program that makes web designing a lot easier is bad news for us web designers.

they probably have assigned a visa number to your case during the month of august/sept when your priority date was current and might have shelved it to open at a future time (which happens to be just about now!)

Congratulations on your green card. Enjoy your freedom...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As a EB2-India hopeful I was Current in Aug/Sept 2008, and had a 99.9% of hope of getting approval. However, they did nothing then though many with a lot lower (later) PD's and RD's were approved.

Now suddenly, I got several sets of emails with "Card production ordered", "Approval notice sent" and "Wecome as a New permanent resident" messages (some more than one with same message).

So, may be USCIS is not following any PD dates announced in Visa Bulletins, but this time for good. Ironically, I also got emails on my AP approval, which is dated a day later than GC approval. Sequence of LUDs is - AP received 11/11 with a soft LUD on 12/10, I-485 approval on 12/11, AP approval on 12/12. Got another set of emails today with similar contents as in emails dated 12/11.

Perhaps a lot is going on to clear old cases. Have hopes, and do something so that your files comes to someone's attention. ....Best to all....

I did it some time back. It was linked on murthy.com. So, I think it is legit and anything for Congresswoman Lofgren (Champion of our cause).

All,
I posted another thread asking folks to thank core members for their sacrifice and great leadership. But at the same time few members like to "excercise their
freedom of voice" & We should all agree that constructive debate & sometimes criticism brings in new ideas and better path.

We should define ground rules for ourselves which will lead to efficient use of core members time:

1) Ensure that we make every effort to find answer before asking question/suggestion/complaint.
2) Keep one long thread without duplication.
3) Understand that Core members have job/family , so they have limited bandwidth .. please exercise patience.
4) Maintain civil constructive discourse, Which has a referanceble information if You want to send a link to a lawmaker or any other authority/influencer/potential volunteer or help someone become a wellwisher.
5) Understand the limitations of IV/lobbyist , So help them to make things happen & don't expect gurantees.
6) Never use derogatory remarks, even against proven distractors.
7) Please put forward only genuine concerns clearly to avoid misunderstanding
8) Ignore "whiners", But fully respect people with genuine concern/objection.
9) Please put forward only thoughts relevent to scope of current forum/discussion..
.. eg. "Discussing the gramatical mistake of someone's message is not relavent to this forum .." .
10) Always keep in mind that this is public forum , so It is our responsibility to show ourselves collectively in positive light
by not only passionate for our cause , But also professional in our responses.
11) Try to propose ideas which are attainable/pragmatic or You can add words like "I would like to see".
Definately All of us want some resolution out of this problem, But setting too aggresive milestones may results in
taking off eyeballs from low hanging fruit, wich IV is going after to begin with.

Please add other ground rules, So that we can have a good platform to discuss our issues and influence the working of IV to begin with & US congress eventually.Thisshould be good forum for members like me, who can't fully participate because of demanding schedule, others please participate other ways too.

Just that 42% of the total Indian population now live under the global poverty line of $1.25 per day
The concept of wealth is fuzzy though, and depends on whether we are talking about GDP-level, or individual-level, wealth. When you see this map (http://www.worldmapper.org/images/largepng/169.png) of global GDP distribution, USA, much of Europe, and other developed countries are understandably bloated, Africa vanishes and Latin America becomes practically one-dimensional, whereas India still has a substantial presence. The picture changes dramatically in this poverty map (http://www.worldmapper.org/images/largepng/179.png) of global $1/day income distribution, where India now reigns supreme (even elbowing out the entire African continent).

The other thing I don't understand is how come EB-1 and EB-2 which are current (for ROW) atleast can suddenly become U. See my reasoning above. It doesn't matter, the visa numbers were used up. EB3 ROW gobbled up the ROW quotient when retrogression was eased in May and June
Did USCIS stop paying attention to EB-2 vs EB-3 classification? If you are talking about ROW, it doesn't matter. There were no backlogs in processing EB2
How about country limits? Did USCIS give India more than 3K visas? I'd imagine so 7% of 140k is 9800
Also, aren't the visas released quarterly? So, how come the visas that were to be released in July, got consumed in June? Now that is a good question
See answers in purple

Why even this discussion. there are many who no longer work for the sponsor even before getting the GC. What do you think happens if they find out? have you heard of anybody whose GC was affected?

because this will be a question when the candidate goes for citizenship. If candidate cannot convince the officer that his/her intention was to work with GC sponsor then citizenship may not be given.

People,

What does this mean? I am not too strong regarding finances, so asking.

Does it mean there wont be insurance on our bank deposits if this happens?
