If they already had enough cases for this year why did DOS make dates current just 2 weeks back? Very Clear indication that government agencies are not co-operating internally, the only form of communication appears to be a public visa bulletin. How aweful.

The media caters to its audience just like any other business nterested in its own customers. When markets worldwide rise or fall in response to election results in India, it gets major media attention everywhere because the audience is interested. Diwali is as unimportant in America as Thanksgiving in the U.K. There is no point fretting over it. Diwali could become newsworthy when people globally start tracking shopping sales in India since their businesses might depend on them. It's better to sharpen our skills so that we can seamlessly join the global highway than to sit on the sides cursing those passing by that they don't care about us.
Strangely google.com did show a logo in 2008 .. I wonder what made them feel that their audience has changed? Is it a sign that immigrants from India are becoming increasingly irrelevant or the numbers are dwindling or there is simply a unofficial policy to just ignore the brownies (please no offence and dont take it too seriously) ;)

Hi All,
I am on H1B from 1998, 12th year and counting.
I applied for my labour 2 times but unfortunately because of different reasons those labor processings could not continue. 3rd time I could use a substitute labor (priority date Oct 2003) which is an EB3 labor certificate in 2005. I applied for I-140 and got approved in 2005.
I applied for I-485 in July 2007 when USCIS opened the gates. My 485 is pending. I got EAD. I am still continuing my H1B status with my new employer.
I am not working for the company that processed my GC. Recently I got an RFE like everyone else about my current employment and responded with the support of my current employer.
I think that the dates for EB3 will not move any further in any near future.
My question is, can I in any way convert my case from EB3 to EB2. If yes, what would be the process.
Please advice.
Thanks in Advance.
Unfortunately there is no direct way to convert. You may try to find new job with EB2 requirement or try in your company itself if the they have any job opening different from your current job (requirement). You need to start from the PERM and use the PD. Thats the only way. I am not sure if you can do this as your's is substitude.

Last time around exactly the same time in 2006 CIR took off like crazy because of the tremendous backing of Senate Judiciary committee chairman Arlen Specter and Senate majority Leader Bill Frist (who actually gave a deadline for a the bill to be introduced to the senate floor, to speed it up) and president bush supporting it as well. In spite of all these it took the senate from Feb-march 2006 to around September 2006 to get it passed.
Now to the present situation, Harry Reid, the current majority leader never ever publicly spoke one good word about CIR, the present senate judiciary committee chairman, Patrick J. Leahy has not displayed even 1/100 the urgency nor the interest in CIR that Arlon Specter displayed, president Bush though still supporting CIR is a wounded president licking his wounds and has truly become a lame duck president (most unfortunately for us).
Having considered the above facts what are the chances of CIR happening? Its very painful to say that but I think very low. Even by a miracle (a very big miracle at that) if something happens it will be November or December 2007 before it passes.
As if this not painful enough there is a 60 day waiting period from the day the president signs it before it becomes a law. I think there is some confusion on this 60 day period (I am not 100% sure on this). In addition to it if I remember correctly there was a strange condition which was something like there would be a 6 month investigation period to determine the effects of CIR before becoming a law. If you add all this nonsense up I think in the best case scenario January or February 2008 before CIR becomes law and worst case scenario July or August 2008 to become a law. just my 2 cents. I can only pray and hope I am wrong.
Bills almost never go to the floor directly. Especially something as huge as CIR. It will go thru committee again and it will go thru normal rounds of debate and amendments between the 18 people in Judiciary committee.
Its very unusual for a bill to hit the floor directly without going thru the committee that has jurisdiction over it. If it happens all the time, then the committees would be meaningless. The whole point of having a committee is to be able to either kill the entire bill, or a congressional appointment before such a bill / confirmation is debated by all 100 senators. Same thing in the House.
If it was possible to bypass committees, then people would have floored the SKIL or other bills directly on the floor of the house, therby bypassing Jim Sensenbrenner and his Judiciary committee last year.

The retrogression is bound to happen again in a few months and it will be YEARS before we get our green card.
We need to keep the fight up in the senate. Can we have another fax campaign started right away?

My 485 was apporved in July 2010 and have not recieved the card yet. I have contacted with couple of Service Request for non-delivery of permanent cards. First reply from USCIS was that my case was waiting for finger printing information from my local USICS was backlogged for appointments. So, I have told to wait for 60 days for either FP notice or physical green card. After 60 days, I have called them and another service request was created and the reply was completely irrelavant as they says my address was updated for my query about non-delivery of GC.
Is there any other escalation request that I can made for deliveriy the GC or the FP notice? whenever I called the USICS are creating the SR and have to wait for answers like above.
I have recieved the 485 approval notices (for both of us) on July itself but waiting for cards now. Are anyone with the same boat ? Or Is the unusual case?
Thanks
Rama

I am asking people to think before acting.
I am not opposing webfax. I am opposing webfax you are sending to promite illegals. These organizations are going to use you to market them self. Secondly nobody is going to read your fax if you even change the words.
Organizations supporting illegals will do nothing for legals.
If you think that by changing the words , you can use their fax to spread your message, then why dont you go to anti-immigrant websites and change their words and send faxes to support legals. You will not do it because you know anti-immigrant is written on top of the fax.
So why do you want to become a puppet of someone else.
psaxena if you really want to do something, how about collecting the names of all the people in the meeting and post their phone numbers on the forum. Then tell us what to say and we will all call their offices now.
Do you understand that if anything is going to happen for us it has to be through CIR at this time? It is a fact that Illegal immigration group with 12 million people have much louder voice than we IV/legal immigrants. If you don't suppport CIR then you are supporting anti-immigrants by sitting quite at this time. CIR may be 90% for illegals and 10% for legals and with friends like Zoe Lofgren in the committee we should be hopeful that there will be definitely some relief for us. Ist step is to support CIR.

No, it is wrong, as you can see from the link, this is the correct address effetive July 30, 2007.
What I understood from my lawyer is to send the renewal documents to address at the bottom of I-485 notice. I may have understood wrong.

Maintaining the I-9 document at the employer's location is required by law. Even if you have not signed anything except the offer letter, the employer cannot just deny having you work for his client and wash his hands off you.
You can definitely complain to DOL about wages. You did work for a client for 4 months right? They is no way he can disprove it as if it never happend.
Do not delete any of the emails. Note down the emails and phone numbers of your colleagues from the client site so that they can confirm that you worked there. Call DOL and report this employer.
Hello Everyone,
Hi I am a student in United States and I was on Optional Practical Training from Jan 2008 to Dec 2008. As I finished my OPT in Dec 2008 I joined again in New course for M.S in soft. Eng.
In the month of November I got a job in California through an employer, who is based in New Jersey. As I got a job the employer asked me to sign a contract which states that I will be paid 60,000 per year and I shouldn't work with his clients for 1 year after the agreement is terminated.
As the project was only for 40 days I finished it successfully and I my employer couldnt find me another job till now. So I decided to work on my own when I got an opportunity with the previously worked vendor, when my employer came to know about this he has threatened me to sue me. Then I retrieved from the opportunity but now even my employer doesnt pay me anything. It is been 4 months, he hasn't paid me anything , even he hasnt provided me any insurance.
I asked my employer couple of times to terminate my agreement otherwise I would go to Department of Labor and claim my wages but he downplays that by saying I am not on H1B so I will not be paid unless I am working with Client. But the agreement didn't say anything like that.
I have even asked him to run the payroll where I worked .I.e in California but he ran it in New Jersey. When I pointed this to him he said the payroll will be run at the residing state if the employee works more than 6 months.
We had an argument about this but he never replies to my emails he only calls me and says whatever he wants to say but when I ask him to put whatever he has said to me on phone in an email he doesnt reply at all.
And to mention, he doesnt have any documents of mine. I even didnt fill any I9 form, what ever he has is the only agreement that I signed and social security number that I emailed him to run my pay roll.
After the argument I even requested him to send my original agreement signed by two parties. I only had the agreement signed by me, he even didnt send me the agreement with his sign on it even after repeated requests.
Now he doesnt even care to answer my calls or emails. I am really tensed. I am getting opportunities from vendor that I worked with but I am afraid he would sue me. Please help me What to do. I am really really frustrated, tensed and I can't express how I feel right now.
I want to get out of the contract and work with the vendor if Possible.
Please explain me how can I tackle this problem?
I would be really very very thankful to you.
Thanks,
Uday

This is a very good PDF on USCIS website..AILA has many rights to demand explaination from USCIS...they do ask questions about EAD extension etc...
We should figure out a way by which AILA demands answers from USCIS regarding using the 140K wasted visas because of slow processing...
IV Seniors/Organizers....any inputs on this?

Should I send photos now for my EAD app?
I e-filed on 05/14 at NSC.. and have been waiting ever since.. the status still shows Initial Review.
I had sent the supporting docs but NO photos and it reached them on 05/21.
Now I am reading abt people getting RFEs on 87th day... is it advisable to just send the photos now.. as an add-on supporting doc?
Has anyone done that... or wait for action on the EAD from USCIS..?

What a rationale you are using. So then "kids should not suffer" and then the answer is yes, go ahead and reward those who broke laws with an amnesty.Hey, I don't know if you have kids, just imagine you have 16 old kid, you are on H1 waiting for labor certification and visa number to be available. While waiting continues your kid turns 21. Are you ready to send him home?

Basically, there are lot of people on the other site, who don't want to join IV but participate:) They think that they might be accidentally causing a benefit to IV by joining IV:)
I never thought registering on IV is a an issue. I see close to 50K registered users on IV, I have not come across anyone who had any issues for registering with IV.

One quick addition.
Consider the fact that you have to be in a project all the time (no bench pay) or else you are eating away your savings.
