Done.

I second this. It took me full 15 minutes to figure out that the rally was on 14th not 7th.

Please see the new thread below:

Admin, can you please make the new thread ( new url above) as the new sticky for 07/14 San Jose rally?

Keep it going and bring out Aman out of this mess.

$100 from me.

Recurrent contribution $ 50.

thanks bikram_das_in, raghav0, rkg000. c'mon everybody, still 45K to go...

Total Contributions...........$5,075.00
Amount to be raised.......$44,925.00
.

Donated $100.
Your receipt number for this payment is: 4760-7942-7070-8340.

kg318... from your initial post you indicated that you "demanded" money back and noted that Company A's practice was "against the law". Now, they are using the same law against you. Not saying it is fair or pretty. Just remember, what you sow, you shall reap.

It is generally poor practice to go for gung-ho activism in a situation where you are unclear about the law (e.g., non compete) and unable to get good counsel (e.g. immigration and business law attorneys).

Just keep this in mind. Long term, your peace of mind is worth more than $4K ... just think if there are other ways in which you could have handled this.... in case such event pop up again.

If I were you, I would have a civil conversation with that company. Tell them that economics took over empathy, that you wish to be in a position where you have less financial loss and would appreciate an amicable parting of ways.
It's a small world out there. Dont pi*s on anyone, lest it come back to wet your backside!

Sabre rattling might get you out of this one, but the world still remains a small place!

ok, start predicting the april visa bulletin and cheer up. everyone has problems and most are depressed. i have been victim of severe depression, i cant even say, most of the time it has so severe effects -- i lose my appetite. but i dont cry in public, nor say publicly i suffer from it, nor have i been to a doctor for it.

I had infopass appointment this morning at Fairfax, VA regarding FP. IO told me that generally they send out FP within 30 days of 485 receipt but if ASC is too busy then it gets delay. He asked me whether my EAD and AP are approved or not. And then he requested FP for me and mywife and said i should receive FP notice within 3 weeks. Hopefully i will get FP within next couple of weeks. Keep you guys posted about my FP notice. Happy Holidays to you all !!


Last week I called USCIS regarding FP and Customer Representative told me that they have sent me a letter on 21st of Oct regarding SR I opened in the month of OCT (I haven't received that letter yet. Do not know where they sent it). I asked her about the content of the letter but she said she doesn't have that information and I have to wait till 19th Dec to open new SR. She suggested visiting local USCIS through Infopass. I have taken infopass appointment for this coming Friday. I will update you on Friday about the appointment.

Thanks Naveen for the initiative.

Thanks to all who have pledged so far for fighting against injustice.

To those who haven't yet, we are collecting pledges to file a lawsuit against USICS against these random and opaque processing of GC's. Our target is to get 1000 affected people to pledge atlaset $100 each so that we can fund this lawsuit. No money being collected right now..just honest pledges.

There is a current list of members who have pledged support on the link below.
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pgWehhQEb3jqwsRC8fcKLTQ&hl=en#

If you would like to help in this effort, please send me a private message with the following info:
1) Ur IV handle
2) Ph#
3) Email ID
4) Amount you would like to pledge.

Please note, we will move forward only if we have atleast 1000 pledged members to make up a sound force behind this campaign. So unity is the key here. We will not collect money unless we have a solid proof that we are not alone in this fight.

More the better, again 1000 an approx number - Please free to contact man-woman-gc with personal details

Great job Mirage, if they can lift country cap for 2 years and work per law, it should resolve all the issues. Per their stats they published to DHS, they have 250K EB applications pending, even if you add 100K applications for the remaining, it should clear all the backlog.

Ofcourse CIS can kill it by saying FBI name check etc. But they can't do it for 250K applications pending. Even though I haven't filed my 485 yet, I support this.

Really? Narendra Modi is great? And thats why he has been banned from visiting USA...WOW

who is rapists and looters? I just want to know...please dont get mad and dont say Narendra Modi. he is the only great leader left in India.

MC

Some one please update the excel sheet.

effective marketing...something called MLM was used and some false promises.

This event cannot run based on MLM or false promises.

It can be successful only if every member understands their contribution and participation is key for this event and they are the one who can solve their immigration issue by taking this event seriously.

What is the difference between the two? IMO, two words "Effective Marketing". Come on, where are the MBA's among us who can offer strategy? Actually I feel we are so backward that we don't even need MBA's to improve from here, just any simple ideas

I got an email today from USCIS stating this
Current Status: Card production ordered.

I did not receive any other approval notice. I hope this means that our 485 is approved and the cards have been ordered ?

My PD Is May 2003

Yes, great to see fellow determined souls here so far

Goal is to get atleast 1000 to start with.

First step is to collect details ( Name, E-mail and Ph No# )

Please send them MAN-WOMAN-GC ASAP . He has gracefully offered to maintain a spreadhseet.

Once we reach the number of resources, we will have conference calls, meet in person whoever can, arrange for money, decide on lawyers ( which MadhuVJ has some very good suggestions ) and move on from there

We are doing it brothers and sisters.

All
My company paper filed my EAD / AP renewal for self & spouse on 07/29 @ TSC,

EAD /AP Renewal : 07/29/2008
Status : ???

================================================== ======
PD : Nov 2006
PERM Approved : Dec 2006:)
I-140 PP Approved : Dec 2006:)
I-485 - Obviously Pending (Yeah, sneaked in through Mad rush July Fiasco'07):)

My 2 paisa ( though it has no value anymore anywhere)

First and foremost we have to realize that we are fee paying customers to USCIS. We have a right to demand better customer service. The reports and other kind of data they are releasing currently is an insult to the high skilled immigrant community. It is time we call out that the king (USCIS) has no clothes. They have been feeding us garbage disguised as reports and offical data. Anybody with a high school degree would say that the reports and data provided have zero value since they are not complete.

How do we get the right kind of information from USCIS?
Here are the steps

a) Send letters to the Dept chief asking for the data we need and wait for 3-4 weeks for a response. ( Data we should ask for, apps pending with PD's and EB category for every month starting from 1998)
b) Send another letter to the President and copy USCIS chief on that. Wait for another 3-4 weeks
c) If we do not get any satisfactory information after the previous 2 steps and 2 months of waiting, we should do a relay protest in DC and in front of all the USCIS centers until they provide us with the exact data.

By doing this we woould have put enough spotlight on USCIS and also our problmes would have got enough coverage in the media. From here we can try and work with the various agencies to push for our other agendas. Now we will have a clearer picture of what the situation is and ask for the right things. At the same time the agencies will have the better information with them to look in to our issues.

Comments are welcome.

I agree.. the amount of fees paid to USCIS keeps on increasing every year and the customer service degrades proportionally every year.. they need to understand that they are there for US(the legal immigrant community).. we have to make USCIS's proceedings more transparent and make them more accountable.. whats happenening with EB2-I can very well happen with EB-3 in the future...once they become current....

well, really I dont have words to express what frustration means, so be it. my PD is Nov 2003 (original Labor) and filed 485 in June 2004 and have 7 EAD cards thus far.

Started to work on EAD since 2005.

This is my 11th year in this country, never tried to do labor substitution always was and is a legal and law abiding since I came to this country on H1, despite changing jobs been as a developer since then - till now.

This GC process got me grey very soon, unsure if I become bald. This is the state of legal immigration in this country, God bless.

EADplease,

I called them and reached an IO officer and told her that I see my checks are cashed and there is a receipt number behind the check but its illegible and can she confirm the numbers for me. She asked for DOB, address, full name etc. and then gave me the receipt numbers for EAD, AP and AOS.

But if your checks are cashed then the receipt notice must be in the mail.:)
