vijay226: The following is just my opinion and it is in no way a personal attack. Please come up with similar ideas like the one you just posted below. Useful or not, all ideas count as long as it is pointed towards solving the issue in a constructive manner.

Reply to your message: We should not propose a fee for this kind of administrative change. There are few reasons for that. 1) This is just a workflow change and an internal procedural change for the USCIS. 2) There is no need for any additional incentive for the government as this is in effect not taking anything extra from the US soil in terms of opportunity etc. 3) Any addition of fee requires administration to get it approved through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and it will make this a legislative affair. That means the whole assumption of getting it through admin fix becomes invalid. 4) In any case, if administration wants to make some extra money from us, they will come up with that proposal.

Once again thanks for your great point and contribution. Please continue to do so.

i think we are also need to provide some incentive to the government also for doing this,say some nominal fees around 600$ and any one contribute more than that will be tax free which goes into financial bailout package. At the end everyone wins and everyone is happy

Nope it is not good
Why do STEM graduates have to have it the easy way while we have it hard. The least the STEM graduate can do is wait for 2 years for visa

Now you are telling the real reason :)

2 yrs wait?? Its been 4 yrs and yet to file 485

Fortunately you are one among the minorities that oppose this proposal. I am glad that IV has this proposal as part of its agenda

Yup, it was a typo. 1994 should read 2004. I don't have a time machine, you know ! :D

Ummm, come to think of it I do have one, but it only moves forward in time. It's called a clock ! :D

Can't you write to Ombudsman regarding this interview experience.

How can an IO be ignorant of the infamous july fiasco ?

Consider a $25 pledge from me towards this effort. Would appreciate it if we are told what information are we asking for? I have seen many questions in different messages. It would be great if we can get a consolidated list of questions/information we will be asking.

TIA.

Thanks a lot for your valueable reply.

That was a good one. I must confess I listen to his show too every now and then to remind myself why i don't like him and his followers ( who, I am sure have a heart of gold, but are truly and utterly misguided)

Coolmanasip you are a great immigrant. ;)

I really think we should have thought of it much earlier ..nevertheless it is not too late. I love the idea indeed. I do not think USCIS should have any objection to this at all unless they have bad intentions.

GCStatus & MadhuVJ,

192.168.xx.xx is private IP address. Your service provider is Comcast and your IP is 71.61.241.65. We would not post your IP if you do not stop making things up. We know that its the same person, you cannot convince otherwise. Look, I am not telling you to mend your ways, do what you feel helps your objective. But when we find something in competition with our objective, we will have to let you know. And as you suggested, please do send us your phone number. We sure would like to get a chance to speak with you.

Thanks,

Here is my situation:

My daughter doesn't have last name in her passport. As I understand last name can be added to her passport at Indian consultate. Now how can we change her name in all USCIS documents - 485, AP,H4 visa. Do we need to have US court order for changing name with USCIS as mentioned by someone ?

Please share your experiences if someone have changed name with USCIS and how would that process work ? Does it need to be done by attorney or can we do it ourselves ?

Thanks,

Thanks to IV core team and all the members

Will continue to spread the message and contribute in all possible ways to help achieve the goals of IV

Just before ending, one thing I would like to say to sherman and zazona types.. Please go ahead and do what you have to do; have the strangest notions in your mind about numbers in the rally, we not succeeding etc.. We will prove you wrong in every sense of the word. We will do what we have to do! Amen..

just read about ur rally. won't we all see how many of u show up. u r job stealers and u are guilty to cause job desctruction in america. so ur scared to show up. u�ll see that no more than 5-10 job stealers will show up. u guys will all be shipped to siberia, that is where all stealers should be sent.

I believe as per the current rules CIS routinely assigns the PD of the substitute labor as the PD of the replacement worker.

What Rajiv Khanna says is very fair, but unfortunately CIS is not run by Khanna. In any case, can you please post the link to the aforementioned blog.

This can be best issue to sue USCIS. Good People will get benefit from this

Good link...
Hope these will help the immigrant community to think twice before hiring a live in nanny!

What US will do is also non-deterministic. To gauge it, you can only try to understand the sentiments currently running in politics. Anyway, if you look at the issue I am bringing up, it has the potential to grant everyone their freedom. But maybe I am talking to the wrong person, because you already have your EAD .. well your brains are also welcome in solving the puzzle

US will do what US has to do for the benefit of US. Sentiments do not have any scope here and politics is well politics.

I disagree that there is any potential for freedom for everyone. You are short sighted and looking at a short term scenario. Things never go according to a plan trust an and you are asking me this plan when you yourselves cannot confirm if it will work for everyone.

Yes i have EAD but EB2 will get GC and i will still be stuck on EAD. So the bottom line is GC and in that EB2 has everything sewed up. Now why would EB2 need additional 50 K visas. They should be allocated from bottom to top approach

I think we need to cc the same letter to several others including...
USCIS Director,
Zoe Lofgren and other congress representatives ...

Like in the movies Rang De Basanti .. newer generation was compared to Freedom Fighters and like in Lage Raho Munna Bhai -we had Non Violence portest Heroes, I am seeing very comparble Heroes in the Immigration Voice Core team. It does take lots of guts and courage to do the right thing , at such a high , sensitive level , with peacful, intelligent talks... especially in a land which is not yours for sure yet.

Kudos CORE TEAM as well as Congresswoman Zoe L... you have made HISTORY indeed . You have blessing of all who have been recovered out of the stressful chaos.

By the way which handle initiated the Flowers Idea?.. Congrats to you you for your smart ideas.

your contribution makes it $900 so far. Let's keep this initiative going.

Friends,

Since inception of IV, I contributed four time total $400. To encourage members who have not contributed so far, I have following deal.
Five members who are first time contributing more than $50 each should post here. After I will have information about five new members' contribution, I will contribute $100 more
