Dear Freinds,
USCIS has proven again that they cannot calculate or count. Don't you think they should be presented with this calculator to help them calculate.

Also DOS has a knack for turning back the clock, don't you think they are in need of this clock.

What is your opinion?
What we are expecting after this calc. camp ? I dont think so they will revise bulletin nor they will give single extra visa above 140k. I think we should focus on HR 5882 .. We should send something to lawmakers.
Just a thought.

dear members,
please post ideas on how we can all collectively address such issues. We have to spread awareness, get attention from law makers, remove the fear instilled into minds of people, guide people in the right direction.
Ideas and suggestions are welcome.
I would say we should start with local congressional office. Every case whether it is resolved or not should be taken to the attention of local congressional office.
If members volunteer to do this, we could distribute districts among ourselves and take care of each district's congressional office. In that way we could raise the awareness among the lawmakers. I do agree that not every office will be friendly to immigrants like my district's congressional office, but we have to try.

For AllvNeedGcPc,
Do I need to do anything to get it moving? How do I put a Service Request on 485? The online system to put an eRequest only lets you do it for N400 or I90.
It does not hurt to send a interfiling request letter from your attorney. You can raise a Service request (via phone) if it is outside of normal processing time (30 days past after being current).
:) Got greened on Jan 4th, 2011 (Refiled in EB2 and ported PD from EB3)

Does any one know about any fee increase for H1B(Extn) premium processing because of border security bill? I have seen the below in immigration-law site.
------------------
The new filing fees will be a huge amount, especially when they decide to file a premium processing request.

i think the quality of education is not that big of a deal. both countries do well on their sides. it is the rewards associated with a certain type of education that is important...it just so happens that while people of our generation (mostly generation X) were studying management/law/finance in US, people in india were studying engineering/science and math...that being the rewarding career of choice for the masses in respective countries.
Indian people are doing well here as a community and will do well in years to come. this is because they saw opportunity and freedom as they never saw before in this country...they wanted to make the best of it and couldnt wait to do an excellent job and in turn reap rewards of honest hard work.
Unfortunately due to the protectionist business environment before 1992, before Manmohan Singh then finance minister open the economy for free trade the economy couldnt generate sufficient opportunities for the masses. that is the reason why people took great efforts to immigrate to US and achieve great success.
what we see today in India are the good effects of free trade policies which started in 1992. It took almost a decade to see them conspicuously. i am so happy that India now offers promising careers to its engineers that were very scarce 15-20 years ago.

Came here in july 1997
filed LC in 2003 thinking it would be useful to stay on H1 as long as possible!! and the rest is on my profile..
I wonder if anybody thinks it makes sense to create a law which simply says after 15 (or some X years) of legal presence in the US you will be given a GC no matter the back ground! In that way we know exactly where the deadline is irrespective of some government agency's whim.

I don't know but I'm scared now....My attorney is filing 140 this week and I was planning on premium processing.
Is this memo in effect already or what? Can someone throw more light on this?
This is only for EB 2 aliens of exceptional ability. As far as I know this does not need perm. I got an EB2 alien of exceptional ability when my last employer filed through Schedule A. So don't sweat this does not apply to the usual EB-2 route...as far as I can tell...
Does it mean the eligibility criteria/job requirement for EB2 is changed from Bachelors + 5 years of experience to Bachelors + 10 years of experience?
Only EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver) even currently requires 10 years of work experience in the relevant field at the time of filing this is the category that does not require labor and van be self filed. The exceptional ability refers to Non US Masters folks Bachelors + 5 Years, now looks like this is bachelors + 10 years. The memo is currently not implemented Smuggymba I believe you should push your case in premium processing, probably you are not impacted though as you have a US masters (MBA). But there is no guarantee that they will not review all cases at the time of 485 once again. This memo / revised guidelines are indeed extremely scary. Kartikiran I agree with your thoughts about the direction in which things are moving.

If you understand this from his words then i can judge your IQ level.
Ok now coming back to your statement. I just didnt say IIT but also REC's. REC stands for Regional Engineering Colleges (there are plenty in India) and that is not a payment seat. Education level is well maintained and by entrance examination standard, its far above GRE level. Argue me on this. I have no problems with America or any American, infact I feel America is a great first world nation and I love being working/living here.
But this doesn't mean I will say any bulllshit & non-fact thing about my motherland.
Also Gayatri one last thing or FACT in your words i tell you. The people(few Non Resident Indians, 2% i must say) like we have seen talk so much negative about their own country, but whenever they are in trouble in foreign countries, they look for immediate help from Indian Government. It is made as a big issue in India that NRI's in trouble, prime minister should come forward and help.
Anyways enjoy and good luck for your green card.
So are you judging all of India's education by the IIT's? I didn't graduate from IIT and so didn't 99.9% of Indian IT people.
I can tell you for a fact that Universities in America are much better than those in India. This is why I came here and I went to an average university here which I could afford.
What Professor-ji said in the video was that Indians were successful DESPITE the poor education they received in India. India is becoming a world superpower in research and development DESPITE this. I believe this is true. Indians know how to compete and will be world leaders because they work hard and think smart.
Lets not fool ourselves at least!! We need to learn to accept the truth.

A# is not a visa number but a file # assigned to each individiual applying for permanent immigration.
Visa number is something that is not visible to the petitioner but a way to count of how many visa are issued for the various categories by the DoS.
Pardon my intrusion here! I searched various forums but I couldn't get any solid threads on visa number because it is so common term the search always yields wrong threads! so can some one tell me..what is a visa number after filing 485? is it same a A # ? or is there another number besides A#? Do we see it on 485 reciept? if not how do I find out? I

Why is everyone jumping on Dard-E-Disco?
Come on guys chill.
I have responded on this thread several times yesterday and reading through Dard-E-Disco's and everyone's comments, he's got a very valid point.
We can't just poke around an established government agency because we feel they are not doing their job properly. I am sure they are doing their job based on policies, and their policies may seem not to favor everyone.
They don't just make decisions on their own.
The structure inside USCIS could be very complex. And just like any government agency, you just cannot change things anytime.
Unfortunately, it could be affecting our lives but by voicing our concerns through proper venues like the IV forums is the way to go.
We can shout, we can scream, and join protest and forums, but that's all we can really do.
This is their country and we are guest here, and we have to respect whatever policies or laws they have because they gave us the opportunity to work and live here, and hopefully a chance to become permanent residents of this country, and in the futre become citizens.
For me, I have to thank them for this opportunity, although at times it is very frustrating.
Chill and Cheers

Hi everyone!
I just realized that USCIS has made a mistake in I-140 approval notice. My labor and I-140 application was for EB-3. However, my lawyer made a mistake in checking EB-2 box instead of EB-3 box in the I-140 application. All other description and details were for EB-3.
USCIS also sent an RFE to know whether the application is for EB-2 or EB-3. My lawyer promptly responded that it was an honest mistake and the application was for EB-3.
Just today I realized that despite our response to RFE, USCIS gave and approval notice of I-140 for EB-2 and not EB-3.
I don't know, if my lawyer has noticed this mistake yet. I want to apply for AOS now and don't want to draw my employer / lawyer attention to it as I don't know what their reaction will be.
Can any one please advice me if this will have any adverse implication down the line? I am concerned as the approval is inconsistent with the labor approval that was with the intention of filing under EB-3. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I was hoping to get people to start their monthly contribution, but it seems people are more inclined to make one time contribution. So I have added this to the start of the thread.
>>For every $100 one time contribution by first time contributors I will match $25.00. <<
So people with their fingers on the trigger, who don't want to commit long term, here is your chance. Please allow me to help you squeeze the trigger and fire your first shot.
I already have Struggle and green_world. Just need 2 new first time $100 contributors to make my next $100 contribution.

Ive been here 4 and a half years. PD of dec 06 Im 25 from australia. I didnt intend on staying, but fell in love with NY ater 3 years.. I have elderly parents, and nieces and nephews i have missed growing up, however i keep in touch by phone regularly, and try to visit every year. I know I want to stay here for at least the next 10 years. After that .. i dont know..
Im in a serious relationship with a US citizen, however I want my greencard before we take the plunge. I dont want any doubts on us taking the next step. I may have to leave in August as my L1B is expiring, and she is in grad school working towards a PHD, so her having to come home with me would put a massive hault in her life. so frustrating.. My brother went through a very similar thing in Australia with his italian girlfriend before they got married 7 years ago.
i just hope congress do something soon..

Good luck.
I wish you have PD of 2001/2002. I had the same dream when I came here 8 years ago.
If you are new to US(1-3 years, from the spark in your statements, I feel you are.) with having PD 2003 or later, only the SKIL bill or CIR could rescue you. Othewise, you will be one among 1million in 2011 talking like us.
No I have been here longer. I have been here for more than 6 years now, went to school for 2.5 years and so do not have an older PD. I know I am going to be stuck in retro for quite some time unless congress does something about it. But I still have my dream and one day I will get my chance to have a go at it.

Hey nave_kum,
Why do you think this is misleading? If you look at the date of the post, then the monday should be the following monday from that date which passed long time back. Let me know exacly what misled you, i may try to re-interpret if need be.
It is upto you to conclude who is right and who is wrong and nobody here is warning him because he is junior.
I have politely warned him, because i thought it was the right thing to do because of this discussion going in the wrong direction. I complained the adminstrator and moderator becuase that was the only tool available to me. Whatz wrong in this approach?
Best regards and cheers.
Guys...
I just logged in thinking that by Monday, we July 2nd filers wud be getting receipts. But after flipping the pages back on this forum, I saw that the Monday was indeed the previous one. This is indeed misleading. After seeing the ongoing tussle between buddyinus and Srikondo, I realised Buddyinus is right. Whats wrong in whatever he's saying??? The purpose of this thread is to discuss about the so called Monday's receipts. But since that Monday is gone, looks like u r fighting over nothing. How dare u warn anybody on this thread. I am with Buddyinus on this. He may be a junior but u dont have any rights to warn him. Beware.
