I called three CHC members:

1. Hilda Solis. The aide took down my contact info and told me that she will pass on the information to Congresswoman.

2. Lucille Roybal-Allard. They told me that they are aware of the bills and will pass on the message.

3. Senator Robert Menendez. They told me that they are aware of the bills and will pass on the message.

Great job IV!!.

Where would I be able to find a USCIS approved physcian??..I think you need to get some kind of letter from him??..
Plz tell me how to locate??..any web site links

Here is the link:

Enter your zip code and find the doctor. Once the medical exam is done, the physician will give you two medical reports, an open one for you and a sealed report for USCIS you should submit with your 485 documents

Hi
I applied for H1B and Change of Status in April 2007 and got approval for the same in August 2007.
I have to go to India so, I want to know Can I Travel outside US and re-enter on H4 visa (which is valid till 2009) before October 1st?(Before H1 becomes effective)
I am aware of the fact that you can not travel outside US while your application is pending. But in my case I have the approval. So is it possible?
Thanks
You can come back to US on H4, but you may have to apply for change of status from h4 to h1 again, to be able to work in US.

Just received SMS/email that my application is approved (PD June 23, 2006, NSC)

Best luck to all, I am sure you will get approval email/SMS soon.

I have a question here. Since TSC processing time is 04/30/2007 and NSC is 06/08/2007. Does that mean even EB-1 will have to wait until the processing time to their RD ?
eg, If you are EB-1 just file your 485 this month, but the processign center time not get to 04/2008 for another 2 years, then even you are EB-1 which is always current(for right now), you still not able to get your GC in two years ?

It depends on the service you choose, I think they have an option for expedited service and you can get the document within couple of days. They also provide you the pdf format of the document, you can print that document and submit immediately instead of waiting for the postal document.

I hope they dont support only a few languages in india. My wife has a birth certificate in kanada. Anyways thanks for the info and i will check more info on http://trustfortecorp.com/. It is a valuable information which will applicable to many people.

They might not be in on saturdays. I guess one could leave voice mails..

my answer to Q 16 was C9 and the instructions said that for C9, send it to NSC for applicants living in CA. Hope this is correct!

Read the instructions again. It says Phoenix, AZ

Anyway, donot worry much -As per new instructions it will come back to you with a note to mail it to the correct address. Wish they could just forward to AZ

any response from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

1. With due respect to Mr Gotcher, the letter does not address audits but gives the impression that even cases without audits are being processed randomly which is not necessarily true.
2. The tone towards DOL is accusatory and rather harsh. This would make them defensive and the letter seems to insinuate that they are doing this maliciously and are incompetent, both of which do not help our cause.
3. The letter should instead address the backlog and ask for DOL's cooperation in resolving the back log ASAP.
4. There is a typo in the letter "noT being processed" (paragraph # 2)
Just my $ 0.02

Many congratulations!!!!!!!You must be on the 7th heavan. Enjoy this day and celebrate it every year henceforth.

So the 15 month FP validity is also a bogus. Yours seem to be a straightforward and non-transferred case....it is good to see choronological approvals than random.

Possibly not. But it has to reach USCIS and I was thinking of getting through the liason process of the senators / congressmen.
If IV can take up this effort, then there is a channel that we can get through. But I dont think it is going to happen, because of the infights. Even if USCIS does'nt react, we can use this process to challenge the intrepretation and show them the mess that they have created. May be that will help

Sorry, i'm just trying to understand the situation here, please no flames.

If this is an admin area fix and USCIS is the main one whom we may need to convince, do we still need to contact/involve politicians in this.

Coming elections, and two different parties, this may give a different color to the whole problem, than solving the problem.

vparam..are u a sensationalist..or do you normally freak out like this?
there is nothing to sensationalise or freaking out . if you see the subsequent post and reading all relevant materials , you will understand that few are trying to keep CIR alive while many want it to be killed. Since i keep scourging to see if any new is available about the conference and have not seen the house clerk reporting the reciept of the CIR, i was just asking a question to find out if anyone had any news reading sobers post on blue slip, is some news......

Looks like the requirements has recently changed at SFO.

Subject: Update on July Visa Availability


We are hearing from multiple sources that, on Monday or Tuesday of next week, State Department plans to issue a revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007.
This revised Bulletin would retrogress some or all of the employment-based
categories, very likely to the point of unavailable.

"multiple sources".....sounds classic rumor to me.

Reports from AILA
members about unusual levels and types of activities by USCIS indicate a
particular push to adjudicate employment-based adjustments currently in the
pipeline so as to exhaust visa numbers for fiscal year 2007.

I've read this statement several times...how does this indicate that there will be retrogression??? Also one unusual acitivity of USCIS has been to suspend premium processing of I-140 for the month of July. That to me suggests that they are preparing for the deluge of I-485s.


This follows the actions of USCIS in June, when it began rejecting EB-3 "
Other Worker" adjustment applications even though the Visa Bulletin showed
an October 2001 cut-off date, on the basis that the "Other Worker" numbers
for the year had been exhausted.

Again...aren't the mechanics, numbers allotted to this other worker category different from EB-2,3?:rolleyes:

i got an approval email for me and my wife last night.
PD: June 29, 2006
Texas Service Center

Congratulations dude.
What does the status say? "Approved", "Decision", "cards production ordered".. I heard the statuses change from Initial review to Decision, Cards ordered then Approved.

Just curios and keeping my fingers crossed for our case.

I know the feeling of the people who got stuck in BEC.

My Current LC PD is Jun 04 - EB2, before that I had two LC's PD of Jun 2001 and Sep 02 of EB2, Since I switched my employer I was unable to use those LC's even though I was promised by both Ex - Employers ( But it turns out to $$$$$ Demand from the Ex).

Since I made the decisions to switch employers, I don't have any regrets. And am I hoping for 3rd time luck now.

Rather than complaining about the systems, I think we have to focus on how

1) To get back the Unused Visa # from year 2000 (Almost 180K #'s)
2) To increase in yearly Visa # from 140 K to 280K or even more
3) To make USCIS to not to count the dependents towards the VISA #'s

The current USCIS policy counts all the dependents towards the available VISA #'s (I believe the formula is 2.5 per primary Applicant)
That means the country quota of 7 % (9800/2.5 = 3920) available to any one country (All the categories). If this is true, I really don't know when we can the see the light.

Of course IV is focused on this issues, I am basically reiterating it again. This effort needs humongous resources.

So please contribute $$$, your efforts and time.

Positive thinking will help to achieve the Goal
