Hello everyone,
I was just thinking about this the past couple of months and maybe we dont even need to ask for Green cards. MAYBE our approach should be "Let the H4s work". Once husband and wife can both work, the green card can take its time. Right now the Biggest problem with most people is that "my spouse cannot work!". Maybe if we lobby for h4s to be eligible to work that may solve the problem.
Now before this suggestion creates a HUGE "Dhoom", this is JUST a suggestion. The current political climate does not look like it is going to be easy in any way to put any provisions for Green card increases. Besides if the logic is "Let temporary workers be temporary", this approach fits in with that logic, coz we are not asking for GCs (permanent residency), just more temporary EADs.
This is a blatant violation of what IV stands for. When you are asking for your spouse to work, you are indirectly saying that it is your priority instead of a GC.
So, are you just interested in making more money or getting a GC? If you are interested in your spouse working, it indicated you want to make more money. This will come at a cost of IV not being able to push the GC as a priority item.
Please analyze your requests, its impact on the organization and the morale of the core team before posting such irrelevant posts. Right now, the goal of the organization is to push forward the GC agenda without getting distracted with "H-4 needs to work request".
Go IV!!!!!!!!!!! Go IV Core!!!!!!

In my opinion the selection tool are the first thing you should get really comfortable with. Once you have those under control youre free to alter an part of the image in any way you want to. Then its down to learning layers and blending modes. :book:

That was a great one jthomas. 100% agree.
Have decided to dump my H1 for good and start EAD on my new AC21 job soon.
getting job on EAD is much easier than h1b sponrsorship. AC-21 law was created to protect employee because of processing time taken by INS at that time.
At that time, USCIS ( former INS ) was taking probably more than 1 year.
By law, you can safely jump on 181 days and a lot of people are thinking of that for whatever reason. But my take will be that you should not jump on new job if
- If you are relatively stable in ur job and compensated ok.
- ur PD is very old (2001-02) because you case may be close to adjustication.
- You may have greater challange keeping ur new job if economy went south
if you get laid off from a job then it is much better to get a job on EAD rather than H1b. Probably underlying intention was AC-21 to protect alien in case he gets laid off. I know a lot of people take taken advantage of AC-21 and it is good.
BUT final regulation has not been published and USCIS final rule of AC-21 may be severely restircted in final rule (especially with July VB fiasco)
just my 2 cents

My lawyer sent me the fedex tracking sheet for the I-485 package sent to:
USCIS
Nebraska Service Center
850 S Street
Lincoln, NE 68508
I did not see any PO Box on the Fedex tracking sheet. I am not sure if she put the PO Box on the shipping label or not??
Is it a big deal?? Will my application be accepted.
Please help
Edit/Delete Message
As far as I know from friends who have had similar case in the past, yours is not at all an uncommon situation. My belief is that use of PO Box on physical address helps to get documents re-directed to their correct department. Absence of same means that the personnel in charge have to "think" where to re-direct and nothing more than that. Again this is based on what I know from reliable friends.

You can call Jose in Mexico and they ll deliver a passport in less than a week. ALL WE NEED IS TO REGISTER A LAWN MOWING FIRM and then BILL THE CLIENT at 100$/Hr for first designing the plan for the mowing on a computer and then getting a MEXICAN to do it for us. ...;-)

I think we need to study the bill in detail before we jump to any conclusions.
From reading the summary in the AILA website, specifically the below :
The legislation would reinforce our commitment to families and reduce current wait times in the family immigration system by:
�Recapturing an estimated 400,000 family-sponsored and employment-based visas that went unused between 1992 and 2007.
Atleast to me it seems like the bill plans on using all the unused visas from the past years and apply that towards the family quota. Not sure if that would help the EB cause.
Inputs anyone?

Yesterday, I got RFE for myself and my husband and need to respond by April 29th.
On my husband's 485 application we entered Last Entry Date wrong, they asked for the proof for the same and all I-797 issued to him so far. We have all his I-797 approvals and he was never out of status, but just worried that we put wrong date for Last entry Date.
I have sent the RFE to my attorney, waiting to hear his response. I am really worried what it could mean, not sure if it is a big thing or a simple RFE, need your advice.
For myself they have asked for I-797 approvals to show valid employment authorizations with the company from April 2004 - Deceber 2006.
I also have another question, my husband is on EAD since last year. Our 6 years on H1 are expiring in June 2009. Can he get H1 for the period he was on EAD?
Please advice.

Looks like he has realized that he has been sidelined and did not really get any support for his actions( $ 3500 ) in the press or the media , so now this guy this does this about face and tries to be " so sympathetic" . Looks like the tech lobby stopped the flow of his campaign money and ALIPAC's and the 1500 member programmers guild's coffers are not enough to fund his campaign . :D
He is partially right in saying that there is some fraud in the system , but why have we got to increase the "Tution Fee" by $ 3500 to fight fraud . :mad:As if the students in the US do ot have enough scholarships already . Are they not ripping us enough already on visa and green card costs . We also pay Social security taxes which must technically be returned to people who will never enjoy them .

Did anyone notice that GCTest's only interest was to start a fight between EB2 and EB3 folks.
See how he opened up a thread and threw a match to light the fire so that everyone starts fighting amongst themselves and he did not post again in his own thread .
United we stand and divided we fall. This is true since life started and will be true until the end of time.
I noticed that. May be he/she is stuck in the traffic. :P
But I used this thread to voice my opinion about various issues.

In same vein, driving on road is privillege not a right.
With 'privillege' you have to follow existing rules religiously then if it was a 'right'.
In anycase, what we can only do with existing law is work with law makers and not protest.
Thanks again for nice discussion.

caliguy,
I am in same boat as you.
2 i-140's approved with same company, both are EB2, one is RIR one is PERM.
PERM one had Jan 2006 PD where my RIR had Nov 2004.
I-485 was applied using Nov 2004. USCIS may be looking at other one and thinking PD is not current. What a mess.

I went for the visa stamping in chennai consulate on Dec 5th. After a few questions, the officer granted me the visa and said i will receive the passport in a few days. But so far haven't yet received my passport. Does anyone know what is happening? is anyone faced such situation before? I heard about this admin processing and delays in stamping but i thot the officer would usually give out some kind of form to you during the interview if your case goes thru such processing.
The web-site says we can send an e-mail to the consulate regarding any questions for NIV if it's pending more than 5 days. Has anybody done that and what would be the response?
Please respond. i am running short of time as i have to travel back to US soon.

Very good times for outsourcing even more !!! The Indian Tech companies must be VERY happy.
Faulty Immigration Policy (FIP) : I am mighty FIP, I am going to decrease the H1 quota.
Industry : Okay , well, what can I do :( , Well !! If worker can't come to work.... How about send the work to the worker ?? :) ...Outsource !!!
Indian IT companies (IIC): We are glad to do the work. We have enough resources to ramp up and ramp down. we can send people on L1
Things are going well for a while ....
FIP : How dare they use L1s, I will make it very difficult to them. From now on L1 is tightened...Hehehehehe:D
IIC: Okay I need people to go to US for knowledge transfer, understand the requirements and implement S/W , let me apply H1s enmasse.... else I may not get a chance..
FIP : Errr , They are using all my H1s , let me tighten H1s even more, How about I charge $10000 for each person coming in. This must teach them (IICs and those out sourcing) a lesson.
Industry : I cant find any body here, and it is expensive even to continue my employees who are on H1. I need to off shore more work. Hey IIC , I need some one here for understanding my requirements.
IIC: Sorry sir, I cant send any one to US because it costs me $10K to begin with , and even if you are willing to pay that , there are no visas to any one. Gates of US are closed.
Industry: Okay I will send Bill, Dave , Frank and Amy who are our business analysts and managers to India for a month, they will walk you through the requirements and come back again for testing.
IIC: Okay , Indian Govt will be glad to give them visas.
India : Good, Instead of my sons going to US and spend all their money there on cars, houses etc, they will earn here and spend here. Other industries are happy too :)
Many years later .....
Bill : Amy, we should get there quickly , there are big lines at Indian consulate. Hope we can get in today.

How do we know we're stuck in the namecheck process?
Does the on-line status state that the application is in the namecheck 'phase' or something to that effect?
Thanks,
NO..online status wont chnage.
U can either call the 1-800 # or make an infopass appointment 4-6 Months after your first FP. If u plan to call, make sure u call 3-4 times because you might get conflicting info
