Folks

Did anyone get their physical Cards without getting CPO message ?

I have recd the I-797C Approval notice on the 11th but I have not recd the physical cards as yet. BTW I did not get any welcome e-mail or CPO mail - I directly got 485 Approval e-mail and that is all.

wait4ever,
My situation is very similar to yours.
As per CSR "The cards will be sent to the printer in October". I dont know how far it is true or what to make out of it.
Probably she is reading a standard call script. God knows...

July 3 recvd at NSC at 11:14 a, by f heiunefer still waiting checks not cashed...anyone on the same situation

Folks, here is what I am able to gather by self employment

(1) One can be self employed
(2) 1099 or w2 - kinda tricky - most people I talked to do w2 and any profits they get after they take their salary are bonuses
(3) The job has to be legitimate - in the same or similar category - you must be doing duties that are similar in nature to your 140 petition
(4) What is meant by legitimate is - you must simply not be doing "nothing" - there must be income and you must be doing your duties.

Correct me if I am wrong

WOuld appreciate if you can share your experiences.
Thanks!

Lets file a lawsuit to get the info in a manner we need:


1) breakdown of processing dates in a manner that co relates to visa bulletin.
i.e.: tell us how many petitions by per country are pending/processed and processing dates by country and category. Atleast USCIS is answerable to visa bulletin.

2) Visa usage by category reporting each month
(How many petitions were approved are pending by visa category and by country) (here I mean just I140 and I485). Adjust the numbers if there are denials.

This will atleast help everyone predict whats going to happen in recent months. One of the heartburns we have is no information comes out of USCIS and we are held hostage to what oppenheim says or Aytes says or Sheela Murthy says. This is public information so lets try and get it public every month.

Folks who opened an SR and had NSC-CSC-NSC transfers, what is the format of the ref # the Cust Service Rep gave you??

I got a # of the format T1NXXXXXXXXXXXCSC format.

gcbikari ,

Your argument is wrong. From the PERM FLATDATA Center DATA,

These are the Figures for TOAL LABOR CERTIFICATIONS for all the countries:

2003--->62912
2004--->43,582
2005---->6133
-----------------
1,12,627
---------------

but these numbers you quote are certifications not applications right? many applications during these years may be in BECs?

Security background should not be an issue more... It is pathetic that folks with PD 2002 are still waiting... You guys are silently sufferiing , it is time that you remain silent no more.

I am with Sunny... we have to do something.... and something before this year ends... who knows what the heck will happen once OCT comes... this window is critical..

Is the rally still on for tomorrow or is it postponded till next week?

Finally we have decided to go back to India for good. I filed my EB3 in May 2003. Its going to be another 4 years to get the green card. When I went to India for vacation last December, we liked it over there & the economy is booming. There are all sorts of discussion regarding the Economic Gap/Politics/Corruption/Cleanliness. But we like it over there. Finally I will have an option to do something interesting. In US I was very much dependent on my monthly pay check and afraid to take even the slightest risk. I am also scared to use the AC21(Hey, thats the way I am). I am working with the same company for last 10 years, kinda stagnant in the last 4 years. In India, there are lots of choices, either to work for a sw company or start some business on my own. I think I will take the business route.

May be I can go there, earn well, send my son to US for college, do green card through him & come retire in US!!!

Good Luck to everybody!!
Hi asdcrajnet,

Good to know that you have taken the wise decision finally. I have been trying to do this for the last 1 year, but keeps on moving on and on. Probably should set some real target dates to get this done. :)

Wish you all the best for your future.

Regards,

Yes, I do have an update. See my posting the Lawsuit thread.

Note:
This Lawsuit Idea is on hold for the following reasons:
a) Not enough interest in the affected parties
b) Cost of the litigation would be upwards of around 30K
c) The counsel has recommended to hold discussions with USCIS official first and give them sufficient time to respond to our concerns.

Thanks for the update!

Good Luck.

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

@buddyinsd

I did not know that visa to USA is also a certificate of good behavior. Does Modi needs a visa to USA to prove he is good or bad person or vice-versa ?

GCCovet/Mahujam,
- How did you find out about the LUD?
- What is soft LUD vs. hard ?
- what are possible reasons of an LUD ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
(LUD = Last Update Date.)
You need to register on uscis.gov (case status online), you will need your receipt numbers (you can enter rect. nos. from I-140, 485, 765, h1 ext. etc). You will get an email as soon as your case has been approved/rfe/noid etc.

When you get an email due to any change and the text changes in your case status it is called Hard LUD, if nothing changes in the case but your file has been touched then it is called soft LUD.

There can be several reasons for soft lud.
HTH
GCCovet

that link you have provided is for ability to pay and wage below dol standards case... i read the entire document and wasted 30 precious minutes of my time and a friends time reading that case... thank for nothing.

I don't recall asking you to read anything. This is a public forum. You decide what to read. You are free to ignore my posts. ;)

By the way, it seems that you missed a part on Page 5 of the document. See my previous post if you are interested in what you missed.

.

Done

That's a good idea but that may work against my work reputation. If you read the whole text you will see that stuffs like severance package are taken care of !!

Diptam, Don�t leave the employer but force them to terminate you after 160 days of filing I-485. Don't clear any client interview and force them to pay you salary as it is employers job to give you work. Take rest at home on full salary. A time will come when employer will no longer afford to loose any more money and they will terminate you. Also ask for severance package when they terminate you.

This is not a legal advice just a suggestion

When we tried to schedule infopass (for sep) we found only one are two dates and appointments start from 6 AM. Is this correct? Will the office be open so early? We got a slot at 7.30 AM.

Also once you book an appoinment, I see only 'cancel' option, how to get to modify option?

Thank you for all the help.
