if you can have a normal conversation = you are not working as much
if you can talk intermittently = you are challenging your body enough
if you cannot talk at all = you are working too much and this does not help either

For the starters ...walk at your normal pace..remember you are starting to condition your body towards walking 3 miles by a certain time frame. it is ok if you can only get to 1 mile instead of 3. it is going to be a journey.

If you are new to fitness walking or running and you already support IV, now you can do both - see above post by Santb1975. I also recommend this methodology.

the consulates usually help getting a new passport, visa etc on all days of the week (including weekends). You just have to provide adequate information about what the emergency is.

To begin with, Slumdogs writing style is really refreshing and one day he writes a book, I may be inclined to buy it :)

But he seems to be really upset about the "Non GC house buying" group bashing ..I think the bashing is both ways. Many a time these self proclaimed SMART home owners feel that they know too much and ridicule people who haven't bought a house yet.

And the big reason people who bought homes give is they are giving their family and children a good quality of life ..And people who dont buy homes are SELFISH A** who don't care about their family and only care about saving Money.

I seriously don't understand this argument. For one i don't own a home yet. I definitely want to one day. But currently i rent a beautiful 3 bed town home with my own backyard which connects to a beautiful park. the yard is maintained by the community .. Also all the maintenance is taken care off. I am totally happy where i live..The day i feel bored i will move into a better place. So for me when i buy a house it should be much better than where i stay currently in every sense. My dream home should be truly luxurious in every sense, And i should feel that my standard of living has gone up after i buy a home. As of today my dream home in a good location is not affordable for me. So till the affordability criteria is not met, I plan to rent a nice home.

So to conclude please do not equate quality of life to buying a house. Its the people who live inside, who make a house a "HOME".

This is not fair to the person who blew the wistle and alarmed people about the situation. I think we should know and analyze these facts. Most importantly, with all the policy change and lobbying we are trying to do, why can't we make sure that USCIS does its job in a fair, transparent, orderly way!

The reason there is a lot of "rumor" is simply due to those government agencies' imcompentencies, which resulted in lack of confidence and trust from the public.

They CANNOT do whatever they want any more SO LONG AS we stand up to our rights. Don't wait till the problems show up again! Act now to prevent them from happening... at least to get our voice heard so that the whole green card thing will no longer be like a lottery!

Just opened a SR this morning. Will now go down through my list:
1. Will file Ombusman
2. Will contact Congressman
3. Will go for Infopass

Thanks for sharing the self filing thread info. I will start exploring that option.

Honestly I cannot see much wrong with Congressman Pences point of view.
Unless you are an illegal who is looking for a free ride on the US immigration laws, you have got to consider it fair. Especially if it is combined with some sort of expansion of legal immigration, a fair minded individual cannot really quarrel with it.

Only problem is that it will cause those coming after a few years legally to get caught up in a Tsunami of applications and probably will be unfair to them, but ATLEAST they would be aware of what they are up against and will choose to come KNOWING that.

Immigration to the US is not a right and many of us are suffering a lot to play by the rules so our children have a bright future. Our talents are being utilised at less than their full capacity to serve a bigger purpose in this land. We are waiting patiently. Someone who cut in line should not be given rights and priviledges that we have suffered so much to get by doing the right and honorable thing.

According to this new plan the illegals will learn to know that a green card is a LONG PAINSTAKINGLY FRUSTRATING process just like all of us have learnt.

I am happy that despite their breaking the law they have a chance to atone for their mistake and still EVENTUALLY get the green card, perhaps when they are old and grey but eventually. Hey I have sprouted many grey hair in this endeavour myself!

I think this is fair and balanced and just might be able to put this CIR beyond the goalline. God knows the current legal immigration system needs some reform.

... the problem however is that the laws and procedures of the land do not care if you are suffering to do things right which makes it an UNFAIR system.

I am sorry I was not able to come to meeting. Could you please update us what happened

2) Remove the country limit
3) Capture the unused Visa

Wow, I am in exactly same boat, So , basically FP results are blocking EAD card production!!... next renewal, It will paper based EAD.!!

-N



EAD e-filed: May 27th
Receipt notices received: 1st week of June
FP done: June 19th
Card production ordered LUD: June 28th
Other soft LUDs: July 25th, July 27th
Still waiting...

InfoPass: This morning...07/28/08
Per the guy at the InfoPass counter, the FP report was received on July 24th (which probably explains the July 25th LUD). He said EAD will not be printed or sent out before FP check is complete. In 2007, they did not run FP checks to issue the first EAD after July fiasco.

So could this explain the delay that folks here are seeing? FP Code 2 was done for EAD, so not sure why this should take so long :mad: Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought that only FP Code 3 that's done for I-485 can take a long, long time. Can someone post info on EAD FP checks?

Update: Here's what I have after some quick research on USCIS biometrics:

I always tried to keep my life not effected by GC even used AC21 to change company, but at this time i am really frustated as I am losing many opportunites which are directly related to my GC.

I don''t feel America is an immigrant country any more we may well be make an history here as the first batch of legal immigrants returning back to our own country.

It is naive to think that law makers does not understand our plight, they are very well aware, they just need more H1bs, temp workers program to bring in slaves to work for their benifit

Please check my signature...I am stuck in Atlanta. For more than few months, Atlanta has not been touching the Audit cases at all. Just makes me angry:mad:

This is my first time here. I want very much to get the Audit issue resolved (if we could)

I received my new Passport today. Applied by mail at CGI Houston.

Application RD: Oct 26th, 2007
Passport Date of Issue: Nov 22, 2007
Passport Mailed by Fedex: Nov 27th, 2007 (I included $20 express mail fee)
Passport Received: Nov 28th, 2007

Bump...

Bumped. Now what?

People should be motivated to do this. Right now most of them are busy Predicting "EB2 - EB3 rather calculation", "Why huge spill over from EB1 to EB2, didn't bring glory to EB2" and "What kind of movement will EB2 have if they get XXXX number of spill over next month and how to celebrate" :D

No offence to EB2s.

Just curious...when did you open the Service request? And after how many days you received the reply below on your case? Was it through email or postal mail?

Thank you.

Opened on May 3rd, it was an email ... whats intersting about the mail is time stamp on mail is 12:56 PM (may 5th), but got the mail around 10 PM (may 5th)

SA 180. Mr. KENNEDY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to amendment SA 143 submitted by Mr. SESSIONS and intended to be proposed to the bill H.R. 2, to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to provide for an increase in the Federal minimum wage; which was ordered to lie on the table;

There is something called fraud protection fee that companies pay for initial H1's. So USCIS has the funds to protect the fraud, the question lies if they are really implementing it.

The GOVT should state that those who apply for H1 should make it mandatory for the employees to be in US within 30 - 45 days of obtaining US Visas and be present in US on employment in continous increments of 1 year. And they need to show pay stubs continously.

- Then we can easily filter out WIPRO, Infosys, Consulting company from misusing. For example Wipro will apply 5000 H1s and then send people when they eventually get a project, out of 5000, may be 1000 may show up in 6 months. So In this case 4000 H1s can get invalid. Indian companies find it sending people overseas is expensive business and would enjoy offshoring projects. If the govt makes this rule, consulting companues will be forced to start paying H1 folks from Day 1, no bench period, plus "Candidates need to show up in person immdlty in US". We kill 2 birds with 1 stone. 1, dummy H1s will not be applied, 2, if they approve H1s then they have to send engineers immdlty for which they may not be really ready, since they only anticipate projects and may not need so many H1s right away !...

THis will be a sure shot solution.
