Diptam :This morning my on-line case status has changed to Request for Additional Evidence Sent
My lawyer received it on Dec 16th - they said that they need at least 2 weeks to answer the RFE. They also mentioned that the RFE doesn''t ask for any specific paperwork , its like a Question-Answer Form.
a) Why do you need this guy
b) Can you find an american instead of this guy
c) How you benchmark performance in the company
etc...

Looking through the ammendments, one that stuck out was about the drunk driving conviction. The ammendment makes it a deportable crime. Well, not that we would ever be stupid enough to drink and drive. But, if you do, and you get caught, be aware of the serious implications it may have.
Arihant, i thought that was only for illegals. Somehow i dont think that Drunk driving is one of our major problems ;-)

Hi Tina,
Do you know any employer or recruiting agency (in NY) who can help sponsoring physical therapists for 140 & 485.
I got a NY work permit and got my crdentials evaluated but unfortunately that emplyer is no longer having job vacancy. Now I am stuck and don't know if I can get benefit from some other employer.
Any input would be greatly helpful.
Are there any Schedule A professionals who are filing this July?
Any ideas/news you can share?
Any ideas for those stuck in 40 days employer posting requirements, that will end sometime in August.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

There are 2 options in my opinion.
1. Secure an appointment with the local ASC and have them expedite this case if you want to travel early. They may require some supporting documents. The appointment can be made via Infopass at http://infopass.uscis.gov/index.php
2. Call USCIS at the number on your receipt notice. Select a series of numbers as per the prompts to talk to a Service Rep. Tell them your urgency to travel and they will expedite your case. It will take 5 business days from the date the request gets expedited to get a response back from USCIS.

Alright Guys, Let's ignore this Dard-e-disco guy he doesn't deserve a second of our time. To answer your question, one thing atleast USCIS can give us is, Release data like How many applications they have already received from Major Green Card Seeking countries and in which EB categories. All this data they would have entered in their computers, They can easily run these kind of reports, I'm sure they'll be having some Data Warehousing softwares. So atleast everybody of know where we stand today and stop predicting cut-off dates etc. etc.
They can also make sure they send our APs and EADs in less than 90 days....
a million things in this world are wrong and occassionally you will be at the receiver's end. Am sure you want things to change, so does every member of this group and many more who arent aware or part of IV yet.
Let us(as members) know what would you like to change in USCIS management. If you feel management should be criticised then lets hear it detailed. Would request to keep a positive outlook and suggest what you would like to see happen. Am sure everyone hear is all ears.

Does PD exist just to be able to file I-485? Or as some members say, does it also play a role after filing I-485 for adjudication? Does CIS go by PD or RD when the visas are limited?
Let's say A has PD(Priority date) Dec 2004 and RD(Receipt Date) Jul 25 2007, and B has PD Mar 2007 and RD Jul 2 2007. Who would be adjudicated first?

We just need 20,000 active members to make a change, which is approx 10% of the total number of GC apps pending. At the most 2000 people are active.
If somebody can being in 20,000 active members to this forum, the change will happen.
I dont think all the 20,000 members need to be active every day or every week. What is that you are expecting them to be active every day. If we are not able to pull the crowd, it is not the inability of the crowd but the leadership. Crowd whether it is Indian or other is always like that. It is the effective leadership that makes the difference. For example if you take Martin Luther King, Gandhi or for that matter any leader, it is their speeches/actions that inspired people to involve in the movement not just the people came all by themselves.

Any movement for any EB is good news for all EB.:D
If EB2 cases are processed heavily till Oct 08, then the chances are high on significant movement for EB3 in Oct (jus a few months from now). For EB3-ers its time to prepare and hope for the best. Best wishes to all Eb2-ers who are current...

I think these guys are just playing with our minds. They know how many applications are pending. At least they have a estimate and idea.
Now they will sit on these pending applications until the end of year and then suddenly move dates 2-3 years ahead and approve some GCs. Few will be happy and most of us will be disappointed.

I am not sure thats correct.
Per IRS regulation Section 163 (C), as well as Publication 936, interest paid on primary and secondary residences up to an aggregate one million dollars in loan amount is tax deductible. The IRS regulation does not specify that the home must be located in the United States, and thus it seems logical that interest paid on a home loan on property in India is in fact deductible
(please consult your tax advisor for applicability to your specific tax situation).
You can quote any IRS publication/regulation, which is issued bt IRS with the assumption that the Lender issues a 1040 to you and simultaneously notifies the IRS the intrerst earned by the Lender from your Mortgage .
And the point is how do you show the intrest paid on the Mortgage if the International Lender does not issue a 1040. Any attachment/print out you provide showing the intrest you paid is not suffice as long as the IRS does not know that intrest was not accrued in their File. Since International Banks dont register their intrest earned with IRS.
All I mean to say is, it is a Closed loop sytem where the Lender registers his intrest earned with IRS and sends a 1040 to you so that you can claim the tax exemption based on your intrest paid
I am 100% confident that.

2009 is VERY OPTIMISTIC. Why would a new administration take up "touchy" issue like immigration in its 1st year (2009)? Least we can expect is 2010 IF NOTHING HAPPENS BY MID NOVEMBER - Congress goes to recess for the year.The window of opportunity is short!
Hahaha! It sounds that you're really mad though! I am optimistic that I'll get my GC next year! No need to wait for 2009!
Unusual and unjustified optimism is the hallmark of great leaders and delusional fools. :)
Don't want to get political on this forum, but you probably know the consequences in the context of the current state of world affairs.
hypophobia: While many people today are plagued with excessive fear and anxiety it seems that there are others who have too little anxiety, a condition which has been termed "hypophobia" (1, 2 (http://www.chester.ac.uk/%7Esjlewis/DM/TEXTS/TEXT2.HTM), 3 (http://www-personal.umich.edu/%7Enesse/Articles/TestEvolHypsMentDisord-1999.PDF), 4 (http://clawww.lmu.edu/faculty/tshanahan/DarMed.html), 8 (http://psych.unn.ac.uk/pdf/beh_res_prep/br_poulton.pdf)). Since anxiety is a defensive or adaptive emotion which serves to protect us from dangers (see Darwinian Medicine (http://www.holistichealthtopics.com/HMG/adapt.html)), those who lack such normal fears may fail to perceive the dangers which confront them everyday. Such people may be seen as foolhardy or risk takers since they lack the normal inhibitory fears which serve to prevent excessive risk taking. It is for this reason that the frequently unrecognised hypophobia may be a rather dangerous condition. As has been noted by Nesse (5 (http://www-personal.umich.edu/%7Enesse/Articles/WhatDarMedOffersPsychiatry-1999.pdf)), "too little anxiety may be worse than too much."

This is what I heared even before the flower campaigns started.
it seems they are planning to honor the July VB and make chanes in Aug VB. So I guess they will accept the applications in July. :rolleyes:
