Well, I meant in the light of these new details coming out about visa numbers actually being available as claimed by "knowledgeable sources", and also in the light of the *kind of* questions being asked by Zoe Lofgren.

Just read the Ombudsman's report today - though I'd heard about these facts floating aroiund...

Not claiming to make some new discovery here... merely stating that it kinda makes sense now.

Sorry to start a new thread about this.... listened to Rajiv Khanna's recorded conf call and apparently he's not very hopeful anything will come out of AILF's class action...

What conference call you heard was more emphasizing not to file during July with a secure note that filing would not hurt too. But after that lot of water has flowen down from upper Ganges to Bengal Bay. After that Rajiv changed the opinion and specifically put a note on home page of immigration.com. That note now says it is smart to file in July. This gives us the hint, at least I beileve, in the background USCIS is forced to come up with favorable solution to us perhaps without the need of lawsuite by AILF. Around same time Greg Siskind came up with news that USCIS is holding the cases.. So let's wait

If your case is I-140 + I- 485 applied at the same time, then word on the street is they will process both at the same time rather than processing I140 first then wait for visa dates and process I485, hope you are already aware of this rumor/speculation or truth.

Hi Vinnysuru

Case is approvable but my question is - will I have to wait till Visa bulletin has PD date showing NOV 2006 or beyond or Current or they can just get a visa number now (say April 08) and send it for card prodcution ?

Yes, the current visa bulletin has to show PD your date or beyond or be current!

Otherwise, they can't request visa numbers. DOS won't issue.

The fee increase is only for companies which has more 50% of their employees on H1B visa. So counting 85K visa's for 4 years is not correct.

How about you become core member and involve in overall efforts related to lobbying.

I promote more direct efforts like rally, mails etc than lobbying.

I never said current core members are not doing their job. I said that lobbying companies may be over charging where we don't have control.

You are correct. He have no option. Find a job, go back and tell them to do process the H1B, and do consular interview and stamping and come clean. You may have difficulty in approving the petition, or the process may take several months.
What you did a big mistake to ditch a company and go to a sucker. You are not supposed to start with the new company till you get the RECEIPT NOTICE after file for H1B. THAT IS A MISTAKE AND YOU ARE DID ILLEGAL ACTIVITY/JOB FROM THAT POINT OF TIME.

You have no choice but leave US immediately, go for CP, declare your overstay in the DS156 form, come clean to the VO and hope they forgive it.

Good Luck!

Looks like SR request denial and not EAD denial to me..Don't worry.

Congratulation Mr. You experience is always needed here, please stay in touch here.

Good luck!

I am sorry.. I don't mean to hurt your feelings.. But this is rumer..

Can you give me link or any other offical source which is saying same thing..
You could have just put this in rumer thred.. Tell me is this helping one...

Everybody is so busy and workiing hard on getting paper work done.. Why do we want to put more burden on them? IF this is true then everybody will know it from different sources. And plus even if this is true what can you do? Can you fight against USCIS?








Hi ramus can you point to the others threads going on this subject?:o I did check other threads to put this info. In fact I don�t want create any new threads. After looking for one that is appropriate, which I did not find, I started this one. The closest one would be the �June 1st filers - receipt � which is a diffrent subject.

This is not a rumor, this a fact and I thought I should share with all so that every one will chill, take it easy and will not stressout in anticipation of 485 approval.

thx.

Hey Renata,
It was struggle with my wife;thanks God she got the EAD more than a year ago. Therefore she is working now and a little happier. I am also OK in my current work. The problem is that I have missed more than 4 job offers that would allow further career growth and potential much better rewards.

Since my wife couldn't work, we had a baby back then.

Tell me, which country in Europe are you from ? I have a very good friend of mine who is Italian. By the way, if you are in the Seattle, WA area, feel free to come over and join us. We get together for good wine, lasagna, "churrasco", etc pretty much every weekend with our Italian friends. The way I see it, is that while we wait for this insane visa bulletin advancement, at least we should allow ourselves to drink a good wine and eat nicely :-)


South of Brazil sounds good to me but my husband is not open to it and he is the one who is Brazilian :rolleyes:
He is much more in favor of Europe and since I have EU passport we can basically live anywhere and he would be able to work the next day :D I feel like I have put so much effort into this by now that I'm not walking away this close. We will hang on and make decisions once we have GC and options to chose. You are so close! Don't give up now after waiting so long! Is your situation at work that bad? Is your wife working?

^^^^^ bumping the old thread up...

Joined today..

Wanted to request IV Core to start an Orkut group but found out we already have one...

Cant believe there are only 33 members...

Orkut is a great way of publicing ImmigrationVoice among your friends.. not only in US but also in the country you came from...

Although I think Orkut community should not be used for any discussions.. It should only be used to make this site popular...

I have the notice of action for my I-140 approval. It doesn't mention an A# anywhere. Are you sure about this?

There should be a box for A number, is it blank?

while that i true... imagine where we would have been if MLk had decided to sit back..
or talk about another great soul from your motherland
...If Sherpa Tenzing had decided that he is happy climbing a knoll than conquer the heights of everest.... would he be distinguished.

As someone said, We will have to be the change, we wish to see in this world.

....
Thats what GC means to me.
....
On the other hand...Its just the current state of mind...


Very well said....Great post. Often times, we get into a "rat" race and get desperate at times. Do the best that you can with what you have. Dont let the lack of GC limit you from achieving your goals. Dont get me wrong, we should fight for our GCs, but at the same time, dont let the desire to get GC stop you from achieving your goals.

To answer your question the Priority date column is NULL ( i mean blank) for most of us in 485 Receipt Notice.

But the "Section : " is showing UNKNOWN for some of us and showing something else for others...

I'm wondering if that could be an issue - shall we call USCIS to fix this ?

what does the priority date column on the recipt notice say?

Does it show the actual priority date or is it blank or something else?

Interesting.. I followed the link and got the following numbers of EB AOS for China, India and World as a whole..
I didn't look at the CP based EB numbers.

It seems 2005 worldwide has used up all unused 2003 visa numbers.

THere are restrictions on applying H1B via multiple employers. THe candidate will be rejected outright. Read the recent guidance on the USCIS website. So hopefully we will not see multiple applications for the same person this year.
