I would prefer if you didn't edit my replies. Of course its each persons preference to think his posts are ideas and others are rants.
Lets delete posts that are not relevant to this thread.

My friend, there is a LOT of difference between the words "rant" and "idea". It is very difficult to confuse between the two:

rant (rnt)
v. rant�ed, rant�ing, rants
v.intr.
To speak or write in an angry or violent manner; rave.
v.tr.
To utter or express with violence or extravagance: a dictator who ranted his vitriol onto a captive audience.
n.
1. Violent or extravagant speech or writing.
2. A speech or piece of writing that incites anger or violence: "The vast majority [of teenagers logged onto the Internet] did not encounter recipes for pipe bombs or deranged rants about white supremacy" (Daniel Okrent).
3. Chiefly British Wild or uproarious merriment.

Also:
rant [r�nt]
vb
1. to utter (something) in loud, violent, or bombastic tones
2. (intr) Chiefly Scot to make merry; frolic
n
1. loud, declamatory, or extravagant speech; bombast
2. Chiefly Scot a wild revel
3. Scot an energetic dance or its tune
[from Dutch ranten to rave; related to German ranzen to gambol]
ranter n
ranting adj & n
rantingly adv


i�de�a (-d)
n.

4. The gist of a specific situation; significance: The idea is to finish the project under budget.
5. A notion; a fancy.
6. Music A theme or motif.
7. Philosophy
a. In the philosophy of Plato, an archetype of which a corresponding being in phenomenal reality is an imperfect replica.
b. In the philosophy of Kant, a concept of reason that is transcendent but nonempirical.

Eb3_Nepa,

You are quite mistaken if you think I am going to delete your post just because I disagree with you. One of the things that I love most about this country is the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment that protects free speech. I like the idea the everyone can voice their opinions as long as there are no physical threats or intimidation.

That being said, we run the risk of having a thread venting frustrations against illegals degenerate into an anti-Mexican thread. We have had a lot of publicity, and many reporters etc read our forum to get an idea of what we are about. They can very easily read one frustrated post from an otherwise reasonable member out of context and decide that we are a xenophobic group. I edited one comment from Santosh's post; and deleted a post of Bkam's. Bkam's post, frankly, was offensive.

As a side note, I have quite the same frustrations against the "perceived" better treatment that illegals get. If you look at our "Parity" memo where we found that undocumented workers can self-petition for green cards and we can't, I co-wrote it. But let us focus on the positives that we bring and move on.

We can get inforpass by visiting https://infopass.uscis.gov/, i will try that.

Just got an email that EAD card production ordered

are they talking abt EB3 I or ROW or both here?

E. EMPLOYMENT THIRD PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILITY

Demand for numbers, primarily by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices for adjustment of status cases, is expected to bring the Employment Third preference category very close to the annual numerical limit in June. As a result, this category is likely to experience retrogressions or visa unavailability beginning in July. Such action would only be temporary, however, and a complete recovery of the cut-off dates would occur for October, the first month of the new fiscal year.


June VB is out !

If this guy from USCIS (Emilio T. Gonzalez) is an anti immigrant then he might think this is an appreciation from anti immigrants. dont you want to convey to him that these flowers are actually from people who got screwed by him and uscis


Pls my post very carefully...it is

Select Occasion: "Sympathy".....and you can write some msg in the card too...it explains from where it is coming and what it means...

guys think +ve.

Thanks,
Chandra.

This might be too early but something that I notice that is missing is the ability to be able to Self Sponsor for Green Card instead of having to be at the mercy of employers.

Fortunately, my PD became current on May 1

Did you get your receipt?

Hello,

Don't like EB-3 dates...but looking at EB-2 dates, does this mean that from now on we will see only forward movement in EB-2 I/C dates?

If the first month of the new year didn't retrogress, would every month see a movement of week or two? Or keeping in great USCIS tradition, this is just another 'fluke'? ;)

Thus far approvals have been at a steady pace--people are reporting GC directly in mail box without any formal cpo/approval/welcome mails too. Hopefully spill-over visas have been alloted to as mant pre-adjudicated petetions and they will clear out all approvable cases in 04 and EB2 dates will only forward. By Q3/Q4, it may cross-over well in.to 06

GC comes with a 'sleeve' to keep the card safely. The pouch in the sleeve have special silver lining to prevent 'de-magnetisation' over the period. Please, take due care as its not easy to get replacement.

I was advised so, at SSA. As I was about to put the card in my wallet (Ya, I went to SSA to update my ssn) gentleman at the window interrupted me. I thought I should share this small tip with IVian fella.

Good luck to everyone !!

I have donated in past a few hundred - stopped now. I think major portion of donated money goes to a Lobbying firm and I think it is a mere wash. The fact they couldn't facilitate even a single bill in House or Senate for visa is a testament of their failure. Whatever IV has achieved so far ..like July visa bulletin (Flower compaign, coordination with AILA and congresswoman Joe Lofgren) and admin efforts for 2-year are purely the result of IV core and member active participation. Correct me if I am wrong.

I would start donating again if IV stops spending on a lobbying firm and starts spending on highlighting our plight with American Media.

In India Lifesentences in prisons dont last more than 14 years. we could beat that record here. :)

Thats why US has advance parole, whereas in India - it is just parole before the end of life sentence...:D

I agree with nousername and sledgehammer. It's funny how people justify unethical behavior by saying hey everybody is just trying to improve their own lives. Criminals are trying to improve their own life too and that doesn't excuse crime. The issue here is simple. This lady went for the quick and easy way out, applied for an H1B with some sleazy body shopper without having a project in hand and in the process, no doubt deprived someone better-deserving who actually had a job in hand.

Anyways, if you are not being paid, you are out of status. Best option for you is to apply for a COS to H4 right away so your out-of-status time doesn't come back to haunt you later. Without pay stubs it is doubtful that it will be approved so most probably you might have to go back to your home country and re-enter on an H4 stamp.

or if you are not getting paid you can complain to labor department. Your employer is that body shopper and he should pay you for the period of your h1. He has proved that he has capacity to pay you by filing for LCA and h1b. you having a project was never a condition for you getting paid from your employer. complain to labor department or USCIS if you are not getting paid.
