Its still better to try than not to try at all. If any IV members are in Sensenbrenner's, Peter King's (NY) (co-sponsor HR4437) districts as well as Lamar Smith's (TX) they could try and set up some meetings. I think meetings may potentially have a positive effect. As is evident from other postings, some congressional staff members do not know the difference between GC's and H1-Bs, others view high skilled workers the same way they view low skilled workers, and others have no idea about the hardships EB applicants go through, yet it is these same staff members who are charged with keeping the law makers informed or conducting research. While it might be futile to try in some of these cases, it doesn't hurt to do so.

Please correct me if I am wrong i.e. I can continue working as I have already applied for my H1 extension and whatever the H1 extension response is based on that if it is approved I can stay on H1 else if extension denied for some reason then at that point I can move to EAD and file a new I-9 Form with my employer and continue my work.

Thanks

Hi one question,,,if I go home to my country to study using H4 while my GC is pending,then suddenly the GC was sent to my sister here in US,can my sister just mail my GC to me in my country so that if i go back here in the US,i can present my GC to the US immigration???uh!im confussed!thanks!

First of all you have an "If" in your question. So I belive this is for future plan.
Now, when you say "suddenly GC was sent to your sister here in US" I am comfused as to whether your sister has already got the GC in mail and you are outside US?

I would request you to provide some more information on your status and info such as Whether you have had/will have approved "AP" etc before you left/plan to leave this country for studies.

Any updates?? Bump up

If you have filed for I-485 and you have your receipt # (starting with LIN) and you have a copy of the encashed check or the proof of the financial transaction (could be you, your employer or lawyer) and the online status says I-485 Adjustment of Status pending, then you have nothing to worry about. If you had moved or changed your address it may have been misplaced. But you have nothing to worry about if the checks are cashed and you have the Receipt #.

You mention receipt number starting with LIN ,I have a receipt number starting with SRC . Anyone know the difference ,if there is one ?
thanks

Done!!!

Thanks a lot coreIV

I am in my 8th year extension which is ending in April, My attorney think its 100% win case for one main reason

my labor is filed EB3 Skilled worker

he mentioned with in EB3 there are 2 categories Skilled and professional

for EB3 professional USCIS has complete authority to deny based educational requirements and they can define educational requirements based on job profile.

but for eb3 skilled employer has complete discretion of defining edu requirements.

mine was filed in eb3 skilled and ETA clearly says client will accept 3 year foreign degree.

h thinks any second eye would have approved this but it was unfortunate to be processed by a adjudicator who does have comeplete knwledge and does not know difference between eb3 prof and eb3 skilled

his plan of action is to send them evaluations from multiple academies as you guys have mentioned.

and it looks very fishy from the denial letter

denial states I have now taken any maths courses in graduation but course in physics and chemistry in graduation, and one math course in intermediate which is not sufficient.

and maths is mentioned between physics and chemistry we don't know how he could miss that, Intermediate transcripts does mention mathematics.

I can paste exact content of denial by tomorrow.

Why more IT people from Andhra India?

Gurus,

Guide me. I am planning to apply for Canada Green Card (Permanent Resident). What I am going to do is.

1) Just download the application forms from Application for Permanent Residence in Canada [IMM 0008SW] from the website and just apply without any representative

Question is

1) Do I need a representative as this is a backup to US GC.
2) I dont have any Canadian temp work visa
3) How much bank Balance I need ?

Please clarify

We applied in NSC

Lets not count the chickens before they are hatched. Its entirely plausible that if anything favourable comes up, its due to combined efforts. Lets not fight out yet, as if we havent seen anything concrete yet.

cheers


It's pretty strange..I really don't understand...why the entire credit is either being given to IV...or for that matter to AILA/AILF....Everyone has contributed....

People about to file I-485 have spread the word to everyone abt the injustice done to them...whereas each organization has done its own thing...

I won't blame or taunt AILA/AILF....because the idea of class lawsuit itself would have scared a lot of people in USCIS.....that also coming from legal organization...And filing a lawsuit takes time...there r lot of things to be considered..

By now its almost evident that the CR's for retrogression, per country limit. and STEM related degrees are actually are not going anywhere. Understandably it was CHC (Congressional Hispanic Caucus) and republican leadership that blocked the road to legal immigration relief.

Its almost beyond my analytical power to find out why CHC blocked our way? CHC treated us as hostages to get their demands. They were successful with their threat that either it will be amnesty to illegals or absolutely nothing.

So this though struck my mind: what is our stand as far as illegal immigration is concerned. Even though we may not support/recommend further illegal immigration, what is our stand on granting amnesty to illegals already living in this country.

So do we:
1. Completely oppose amnesty to illegals immigrants currently living in USA
2. Support amnesty to illegals immigrants currently living in USA
3. Support amnesty to illegals immigrants currently living in USA, as long as they do not stand ahead of legal immigrants in the queue.
4. Support amnesty to illegals immigrants currently living in USA, if CHC and other similar organizations support us for our much sought immigration reforms.
5. Only support Guest Worker Program type of thing, which allows people to enter on work visas and further backlog the employment based GC queues.

Is it going to help us if we shake hands with CHC and other similar organizations, if they support us? I mean if we can't defeat them why don't we join forces with them to get what we want. Please remember that legal immigration reform bills always try to piggy back on CIR (Comprehensive Immigration Reforms) type of bills where illegal immigration/amnesty is focal point of discussion, rather than other way around.

I'm sorry but why he did not say IV... i'm not trying to offened anybody people from all over are sending as well. it would make it better if he said the legal immigrant community

Also with regards to BCG vaccine , the skin test comes positive only within 10 years after BCG is given. If you still have a reaction after 10 years then that means that you have a passive TB and it is recommended that you get it treated. I had a long conversation with an Infectious Disease specialist and he mentioned that there is no urgency to start the treatment because of age factor. So if there is a doctor you know who says that you do not need to be treated even after 10 years of taking the BCG , then probably you should change your doctor for the sake of your own health.

I second that. For more info on the subject please see this link which details the link between BCG and positive skin test in layman language.

I have applied from Texas SC

My attorney mentioned it might 2 to 3 years to process an appeal, is that correct do you guys know any one who got it faster than that, he mentioned that we have to appeal to district court along with documentation of new resolution which was passed last year stating that employer has final discretion is deciding edu qualification for job role

According to this bill in current form the nonimmigrant should have filed for an immigration peition and the petition should be pending for > 365 days. If not he wont qualify for an extension.

However nothing is said about if the I140 process itself will continue when the H1 leaves the country (provide employer is still wants the H1b) and he can file for an extension after his I 140 is approved?

My H1 is due for renewal in Sep 2007. My I140 was filed in Feb 2007. So they wont give me a H1 extension to Sep 2008 since my I140 is pending < 365 days ??

There's no need for you to be negative.

Obviously you have benefitted already from what's happened. Think about people who are stuck (just as you were up until recently) and want to 'try' to make things work for them too....

wish people were more understanding of others also. Why is it people forget what it was like for them when they were in same boat?


ps57002:

Do not take it in negative sense, This is just my thoughts..

1. Flower campaign served it purpose, over doing anything will give produce negative results
2. As other IV members suggested we should come-up with someother innovative ideas. You can ask IV members for ideas, I sure our fellow members will share their thoughts.

Again, I am strongly believe any more flower campaign at this moment will produce negative result (i.e it will annoy the recipient).

I had the same thoughts when our IV members planned to send thank you flowers

Buddy,
Why you are so angry??. I know more than you about immigration and all the rules. you try to understand the English properly and the meaning. I hope you are from a very remote place in India. So for you to understand better, Here is the meanign fo my message.

GUYS, YOUR PRIORITY DATE IS 2006 and why you are asking for the premium processing when many of your friends are still waiting to file their I 140 or I 485.
Don't try to put harsh words in public forums. You will get them back as a Boomerang...... Understand?:mad:
Dude - that doesn't make any sense. Just because there are people who have been waiting since 1998 (for whatever reason) doesn't mean that others should make their process as slow as possible so they can also wait 9 years with their "friends". Why would anyone want to do that?

I have copies of all my I-20's and H1B's with me but I never kept copies of I 94 cards. Now if they start asking for all such documents its going to be very difficult. What happens if you are missing an old I20 can you ask school to go thro their records and issue a duplicate. To be honest from 2003 onwards everything is online via SEVIS so they should not even ask us for paper documents. Same with H1 with this new system they have started from this year.

I'm guessing they would need only the latest I-94 copy since we turn in every I-94 at the time of departure from the country. I could be wrong, someone can comment. I have never kept all the I-94's, hope it is not needed.

she has to go alone if you dont need a stamp.

filing for I-485 should not cause problems.

My advice do wait till you get the receipt.
