I think u r in a trap here. I recently talked to a HR of a desi company and he clearly told me his boss does not want to file for 485 for all eligible applicants and is working on strategies to fool his employees into prolonging things till dates retrogress.

U can choose ur lawyer, u don't have to let employer know u applying for 485 at all. Do not link ur lawyer and employer for any reason. Keep them both away. U already have 140 approved and u have nothing to lose.

Don't fall into ur employer - lawyer trap

Sats123, Chanduv23 is correct, also reading that with the paystubs you can avoid the employer letter saying that you work in such position and for such salary, finding out what position they used to file your labor (did you find it in the database on my previous post) and considering that you are about to get ripped off, it would be advisable that you go through that lawyer that someone was saying charges 1000 to file your papers and 500 for your spouse;

Did you get the medicals? I know it takes time now to get an appointment, and if you want to file the I-485 on your own, please ask if you have questions, I think you can get out of this trap and before the immigration rates hike on July 30th.

Thanks rb,

Did you visit any country that might have triggered this?

Have you ever faced any issues with your last name being on no fly list?
No

NRK,

Have you ever faced any issues with your last name being on no fly list?

You have pretty much answered no to most of the questions asked by other posters. If the answers to the above questions are no too, then it must be USCIS error.

It is not about you browsing on this forum continously..it is about you not paying attention to your wife continoulsy.:D:D

Even if there would no IV..wife will tell you the same for some other stuff you are following vigourously.

I know how you feel Chantu ... but what to do they all are from venus :D

EB2 India got 16000 visa in 2005. Will it get 2800 in 2006 according to 7% quota?

This text in Quote is available in this link

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2712.html

Note it is Nov 2005 bulletin...we are seeing bad progression in EB2 in Oct,Nov 2006...one year later. That confuses me

From November 2005 Visa Bulletin
HOW IS THE EMPLOYMENT-BASED PER-COUNTRY LIMIT CALCULATED?

Section 201 of the INA sets an annual minimum Family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000, while the worldwide annual level for Employment-based preference immigrants is at least 140,000. Section 202 sets the per-country limit for preference immigrants at 7% of the total annual Family-sponsored and Employment-based preference limits, i.e. a minimum of 25,620.

* The annual per-country limitation of 7% is a cap, meaning visa issuances to any single country may not exceed this figure. This limitation is not a quota to which any particular country is entitled, however. The per-country limitation serves to avoid monopolization of virtually all the visa numbers by applicants from only a few countries.
* In recent years, the application of the rules outlined in AC21 has allowed countries such as China – mainland born, India, and the Philippines to utilize large amounts of employment numbers which would have otherwise gone unused.
* During FY due to anticipated heavy demand, the AC21 provisions are not expected to apply, and the amount of Employment numbers available to any single country will be subject to the 7% cap. It is anticipated that the addition of unused FY-2005 Family numbers and the remaining AC21 numbers to the 140,000 annual minimum will result in an FY-2006 annual Employment limit of 152,000. This will mean an Employment per-country limit for FY-2006 of approximately 10,650.
* To illustrate the effect of the reduced per-county limitation during FY-2006 on the oversubscribed countries, it should be noted that during FY-2005 India used approximately 47,175 Employment numbers.

everyone has to go thru namecheck process. Once during greencard process and once again during citizenship process. (if and when you apply for citizenship.)

To find out about namecheck, you can call USCIS and if you get an officer on the line (not the cust service representative ), then you can find out.

You can also find out about the status of your namecheck with infopass appointment. That will take up some of your time.

Thank you very much. I will follow up on that.

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.

Because, till 2005 there were extra 100,000 (total 242,000 were issued) recapturd numbers available. Therefore, no one cared (DOS/USCIS) about AC21 law that removes country quota. EB2 were curren for all then.

I am not answerable to an anonymous "internet toughie" who picks up fights on forums. it's evident that your understanding of the tonality in a professional response vis a vis a personal one is impaired albeit imponderable.

I shall not waste my time "coaching" the same.

[B]"then we all know who the real immature person is"

After your fiasco with Kumar, doesn't this whole forum apart from a few thousand scandalized visitors know who really enthrones "immaturity" here?

With this i end my diatribe with you mr internet toughie aka sledgehammer. lol

Any recent updates on that case? Do we know what happened after that person filed the MTR the 2nd time?

As I explained here

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=210490&postcount=26

AC-21 is just an illusion of freedom - even if 180 days have passed, even if I-140 is approved.

My advice: DON"T CHANGE EMPLOYERS UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST.

I believe Mbhai did a dis-service by negating good advice. What is the guarantee that the 2nd women that this guy marries will not ask for divorce? The best thing he can do is find a way to reconcile, unless there is marital infidility.

I believe "snathan" story was inspiring and addressed the true problem of that individual and every indivudual's life. Trust me, when you all get your GC's ...it will be these things that will matter to all of you, rather than anything else.

I felt the same. Anyway it is all Fate.

This Is Good for every one , as People With Phd's and Masters degrees will be eliminated from 140K Cap ..which will defenetly double the number of green cards for EB3 ......hope this works

I have 2 MS degrees from US Univs ... 4 years ...and a lot of $$$$$$ spent

:mad::rolleyes::eek::o;):D:p:confused:

Raj,

Every state has 2 senators. just google to find senators on your state
go to their websites and their contact details will be ther. You can email or call them.
Good Luck!!

Consulate officers and immigration officers at port of entry are two different categories including their education background, training etc...dont compare them. Consulate officers are first line of defence which has to be good at detecting problems.

I have no interest in your employment setup...question is -Are you paid while you are on vacation or [off project and still in this country]. And Whether that would be treated as valid employment for H1 candidate by the book of law.

If employees are not reporting fraud commited by employer because the employee want to come to US..then they are party to the fraud and hence Consulate are trying to ensure that valid employments are allowed.

If they have comeup with some requirements it would have been based on analysis of fraud reported by USCIS's H1B program itself + ICS raids + others.....

If the H1 petition says your annual salary is X and your W2 show less than that how do you explain it? It implies either your were out of work or paid-less than promised which implies that there is a potential of employer committing a fraud....

with me?

Are any of these happening with you ? If so report to USCIS.
If not, why do you assume it happens with others.
Does it make you feel better ? Or are you a follower of Mahatma Gandhi/Mother Teresa that you earn justice to be done to others not you ?

I know the motivation behind your arguments. Do I need to mention it ? everyone on this forum understands that.

Don't be so selfish.

If case is denied due to USCIS error, MTR can be filed with out fee. when filing MTR it should clearly mention that " Service request for MTR" which implies that denails s due to erroneous decison. (Attorney filed this MTR with Subj: Service request for MTR, enclosed all documents which supports that decision is taken by error and to reconsider).

[

I would urge you to change the title as most of your problems are due to your own decisions and not due to agency.

back to your post



That is correct. Every visa has an intent and purpose that is why there are several types of visas. If the intention is to immigrate, absalutely they will not issue B1 no matter what the applicant say during the interview.

Consular processing is a long shot, best bet is as someone else said in the post
Follow to join" provides derivatives opportunity to join beneficiary within 6 months (spouse and kids).

IF the dates retrogress, you may have to talk to prospective employers who will sponsor H1B and then bring her back to US on H4.

I will pray and hope that you will get GC soon and your spouse be able to join you.

And last, Be little considerate in the forum and little deplomacy to express the ideas will help communion with fellow IV members smooth. I do get a feel of "arrogance" reading your posts and does not fit the status co and not very useful to get ideas to solve your problems.


Thanks friend. I do hope your prayers work for me. But I still find it strange that if someone has a pending I-485 through consular processing route, then he/she can't get a visitor visa no matter what? What if it is a medical crisis? Family reunion issues? This sure sucks. I will check with some lawyer on this.

And lastly what you detect as arrogance is my plain talking style. Did I make personal attack on anyone? no, right? Life is like a game of chess. Make the move which makes the best sense at any stage. What is the point in thinking about past moves?

Follow to join looks like a good move as of now. But I can use this move only if my GC is approved first. But I doubt my GC will be approved in a month or so. So if my GC is still pending and dates retrogress again, we are stuck. On the other hand if my wife applies I-485 in india she can't get a visitor visa. If she comes to US first on B1, then she can't file I-485 because of violation of intent. I need one damn grandmaster of a lawyer to fix this game man.

why the letter says 765 copy when the application is for 131/AP?

Dear Michigan Members,

This mail is to update you guys on the outcome of meeting with Staff Assistant of Senator Carl Levin - Michigan and members of Immigration voice namely
Gajendra Prasad
Stanley Samuel
Manoj kumar

We emphasized the following points
1. We are not talking about H1 increase.
2. Reverse Brain drain impacts.

8. Statistical details which have shown immigration does not affect Americas growth but helps growth of America.
9. Requests of immigration voice.

We quoted our personal life experience and the hindrances we encounter in our career growth.

I have to say the points were observered with a positive note. and the staff said that these will be conveyed to the Senator.

He also suggested, to contact the media, which we are doing and also told,
he was also aware of immigration voice and its good doings.

He also told the Senator voted in favour of CIR 2006.

He suggested having a direct meeting with Senator would definetly help, as it would have a better impact, but he said that it would be easy to get an appointment of the Senator in DC. At this point, we have requested the immigration voice DC members whether they can have an meeting with the Senator and we can arrange the same with this staff member.
He also requested, if any of our member are meeting with the same Senator office staff in different location(Detroit, Grand Rapids,Escabana etc), please refer this staff name for continuity reasons.
Andy Hickner-Staff Assistant of Senator Carl Levin (Michigan) -Lansing office and this meeting.
