Good job, people can laugh by this post in a busy work schedule.

Any one with july 3rd recvd date at NEBRASKA recvd AP?

Mine rec date is july 2nd and notice date july 27th. Have got EAD, but not AP yet. Though I noticed two LUDs on my AP, 10/24 and 10/25

Actually being a Defence employee is a positive. You can show proof of stronger connection to home country because of following.

1) Pension that is available every month for life.

2) Free treatment at Army Hospitals.

3) Subsidised cost at Military Canteen facilities for provisions etc.

Hi,

I am in a different predicament. 1st H term finishes 30-sep-2007. Company A sponsored my H and i have been with them ever since. They sponsored GC. I-140 approved, 485 filed on july 2nd, recd EAD card, AP approved, FP done.

Company A is losing business and is not in a position to pay for H renewal. I have offer from Company B and they are doing H transfer.

Question

1. Can i switch to EAD with Company A and keep H with Company B untill Jan 2, 2008 when i am safe to use AC 21.

2. Do i have to make sure that company A renews my H. In a dire circumstance i can buy my H renewal.

Any help is greatly appreciated as am 2 weeks away from expiring H.

Thanks


1. As far as I know, think this will work.

2. Not required.

I don't think it happens automatically. You will need to ask to be accorded the earlier priority date or if interfiling you will also initiate the process by asking that USCIS substitutes the previously submitted I-140 with a new approved one. The time to do that is when the PD on the newly approved 140 becomes current.

From your explanation, now that your old PD is current and the 140 for that is approved, you will have to ask that interfiling occur by sending a letter to USCIS with a copy of the new 140.

If you have done this, then the message you got could be that USCIS is ready to review your file by October. A congratulation may be in order here because I believe you will soon get your GC.

IV Core Team - You have done a great job... No doubt about it.. I already said my sincere thanks to you guys in earlier post and would say it again - Thank You !!!!

BUT GUYS, dont you think we should thank USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez as well for honoring original July visa bulletin?

His comments from the bulletin sounds so honest


�The public reaction to the July 2 announcement made it clear that the federal government�s management of this process needs further review,� said Emilio Gonzalez, USCIS Director. �I am committed to working with Congress and the State Department to implement a more efficient system in line with public expectations.�

Everone is busy to appreciate work done by IV Core team, Zoe Lofgren, media and all IV team members.. But we are forgetting the man who signed off on the visa bulletin... without it, we wouldn't be celebrating...

Whatever happened on 07/02, it happened. I dont want to get into details of "why" the flipflop happened... But I sincerely thank Emilio Gonzalez for giving us the opportunity to file for I-485 with the old fee structure. Thank you, Sir.
I concur

I feel your pain. Here is my advice. Talk to your local Senator. I have been in contact with my local senator since Nov 2008. Finally, i got my I485 approved on 10th Feb, yet to receive cards though.

My senator, the longest serving in the senate history, contacted at least 3 times with USCIS, as recent as Jan 28th. So just take their help, dont even hesitate.


Our priority date is not yet current but that seem like a good idea. How do I go about finding who to contact.

Thanks everyone for replies.
RFE LUD came as email on Friday. A week before, I spoke with customer service and they said my case will be forwarded to IO.
The RFE letter came to my company lawyer today. He sent me the copy. He is also basically suggesting the same. Gather whatever available and write some explanation. He will refine and send it.

Will keep posted on this forum.

Did you send "affidavit of non availability" or "certificate of non availability" from municipal location of your birth along with signed parents affidavits ?

Hi,

I am new to Indiana, letz join here to discuss and promote IV in Indiana area, I am currently in Indianapolis, please post if you are in Indiana state and interested in IV

Now matter what , no other country has balls or guts to accept huge number of immigrants like US does, yes do you huge volume it is slow but the govt. is more aware of the fact that high skilled immigrants add to the benefit of their country compared to Canada (conservatives in liberal skin- because they have undocumented race based limitation), Britian(high skilled immigrants are usually colored therefore anything colored is considered not British) and Australia (how can a decent high skilled immigrant be accepted by bunch of outback thugs).

Please observe all these countries' immigration policies in this day of economic downturn, all of them are actively shutting their doors except USA (comparatively). I think USA is more closer for me as a home after India, I got misled by Canada but after what happened in their Alberta Province's AINP program for H1b holders I realised that Canadian pasture is really not green it is just an illusion.

I am very keen to try and get a state chapter from Indiana. There have to be at least half a dozen of us.

There are millions of Starbucks in the area, maybe we can monopolize a corner in one of them some time.

From what I have read here then most of the replies are in the Indianapolis and northern suburbs, so I am proposing that we meet this Saturday at the Starbucks in Westfield!

By this location I mean where Ashleys furniture is on US 31 and 146th Street.

I can make it any time on Saturday but we have to set on a time, I am suggesting 11am.

Hello Folks :

I am in Indy (basically in fishers). Stuck in this process since 2003. I am all for active participation with this IV Indiana forum. Pls. let me know.
Thanks

140 LUD on 7/27/2008 Sunday

So USCIS is still reviewing I-140 even at I-485 stage. That is scary if your I-485 is at different service center than your I-140 approval.

This is really a very scary ride. Hope we can all survive.

I thought it was kind of inherent in a programming competition. If he would allow external libraries, the contests could become jigsaw puzzle contests where the person who could find the best open source libraries, and piece them together properly could beat someone who made something completely from scratch.


I appreciate where you're coming from.

When I interpreted the rules/intent of the competition I didn't see anything wrong with using Box2D.

I think I made something awesome no matter what happens. I'm happy with the final product and everything I've learned making it. I'd just hate to see it disqualified because someone assumed I'd know not to use external libraries or external audio.




ps: can you post your code? and btw... i like what you did with your swarming code :)
You can grab the earlier version of the Swarming code from my blog here:
http://blog.organa.ca/?p=34
I share the code for most of my projects so feel free to browse around.

In order to share the current version I'd have to do a lot of cleaning up... for example I wrote 5 different ways of handling broad level hit detection. At this point I would have to rewrite it to make it sharable.

I don't want to discourage you, but IV has looked into all these options earlier and has realized that it would be fruitless to try and ask our lazy politicians to take up our case with the US govt. More over this is an internal matter of US govt and Indian government cannot influence their policies and laws. Why would you expect Indian govt. to fight for you, when you left the Indian shores and want to settle down in US for your comfort?
Having said that, if you do have contacts and would like to take the lead in reaching out to the Indian govt, IV will support you. So please do the honors.

Folks,

I am in a dire situation. I received on Sep 15th 2008 the dreaded email "request for initial evidence sent case placed on hold". Neither my lawyers nor the employer has received that letter and now its being 45 days and now nothing yet in spite of repeated requests from lawyers and employer to the USCIS.


What are my option here?

Its probably a good thing that LCA laws are being enforced. If a person hasn't gone on the bench and has a valid LCA, I don't think that person would be affected by this.

Consulting companies who adjust with the times and work to comply with the enforcement might come out of this stronger when the recession ends.

I have an LUD on my I-140 on 04/20/2008(Sunday)

Does anyone out there knows when is the next visa bulletin,I mean with the date the bulletin will be released?

Guys,

I have a question about interfiling. My signature explains my green card situation. My EB3 I-140 with a PD of 9/2001 is still not approved.

Is it true that USCIS never responds to interfiling requests ? As per my attorney, they accept the interfiling letter and process it or they don't. My attorney is pretty darn good and honestly have no complaints till now but this particular information is kind of bothering me and just want to be sure.

Would appreciate if anyone could help me clear this up.

Thanks!
