Heres the quote from the article
"Baby Jaqueline was delivered at 9:25 p.m. and weighed 6.28 pounds." So, yes ,she did deliver without complications.
And the Mayans couldnt even see their own end coming, let alone forecast that of the world :D.

Who asked you? Are we asking for your permission, jackass? If the 75% of the companies were also started by us, then, parasites like you will have to leach off us. Then, who will hire morons like you?

Who cares about your admiration for leadership qualities? Why, does that sharpen your skills as a kissass to your boss?


Your contribution is not welcomed. Go back to where you came from and contribute there.
You say you start 25% of the companies. Though, I don’t believe this number but what about the remaining 75%? Also, what percentage of employment do such companies generate? Negligible! Every Joe Schmuck can start a company; it takes only few hundred dollars. And by the way, those were supposed to be my dollars.

Having said that, I would like to remind the readers I have great respect for those with leadership qualities. Now, my questions to all, what percentage of green card aspirants start such companies?
Just 1%, what about the remaining masses, they in my mind are parasites, sloths, cowards and will do more harm than good to our society.

And this actually strengthen our argument that employment based quota should be drastically reduced and made available to “real people” only.

You just don’t deserve it…

We need $$$ to keep up our work. Please contribute

also got the following response for a service request i put in. did not know what to make out of it - is it just a regular response or is this true

The status of this service request is:

A review of this case indicates that it appears to be outside of the normal processing times, however processing times that are posted on our internet website are approximate and not exact. This case is considered to be within our current processing time. USCIS is aware that according to the Department of State?s Visa Bulletin, there appear to be visas available however there has been an extremely large volume of case requiring visas. Therefore your category may have already reached the maximum amount of visas available, so please continue to watch the Visa Bulletin in the future to check for visa availability for your category.

I would be damned if they issued a visa bulletin after being aware of the fact that the visas are over. this is just to cause anxiety and stress to people waiting in the line and just playing with their emotions. this is something really horrible and we should take this very very seriously if those fuckin assholes are not doing their job appropriately.

Visa bulletin movement for India in the last 5 years!

Hello Pappu

Did you file in June or are you filable now?


Yes, Pappu is FILLABLE :D :D :D :D :D :D now like a glass jar.

Can someone please clarify this to me?

I'm really confused with the rule right now. Since my last entry was Apr 2007 and I worked only from July 2007, was I out of status?

I've read this -
Out of Status is counted only since last entry in US for employment related I-485. And Section 245(k) covers out of status upto 180 days.

And I've read this from somewhere too -
For a new H1B, a grace period of up to 60 days is allowed before you can start work after entering the country.

Whih rule is correct? Thank you again

I applied through a consultant for the masters quota and got a reject (I applied on the 4th of april) they have considered it as regular because the package did not contain a course completion letter (i will be graduating this may 4th, so all i could get was just unofficial transcripts.) Now the school agreed to give me a course completion letter.
with which,
I re-applied through a consultant through masters quota today.
I will be applying through CmpB tomorrow through masters quota (just got the offer as of today).

can any one tell me what is going to happen on reject/accept?

thanks

Thanks a lot.
You guys are great. I am very happy today.

Of course they go by receipt date, but question is what is the receipt date? Each center enters data, and places folder in sequence of when they, the Center, received the file (and decided to accept it). This date is close to ND, but may be quite different than RD on your receipt, sometimes by several months (due to noone accepting huge volumes of July/Aug07 filings, or for some reason disputing as to which center should work on the case).

There are thousands of instances where cases were filed in July 07, but entered into the system in Sept/Oct 07. For all purposes, their RD is what you see online as "your case was received on...", which is close to ND.

See my earlier posts in this thread. If you ask a center if they are processing cases based on RD or ND, they will always say RD, because that is true based on their defintion of RD.

They will state they go by RD but check what RD they have in their system, does not matter what RD you have in your receipt.
May be it is an issue for transfer cases only where initially RD was issued by another service center say VSC and then case was transferred to TSC and TSC is using RD the date when they got the case. At least that is case for my app they told me. My lawyer is following up and if they don't fix it i Plan on using Congressman, Senator etc even a law suit as it is ridiculous that TSC sen the app to VSC for data entry and is not willing to honor the RD which VSC entered.

Even if 1000 of our ~41000 members contribute 100 dollars each, we can host two more events like this.

It makes sense to ask help from outside of the organization only when our internal resources are all exhausted. However, sadly, most of us do not want to even contribute for the good cause. :o

We can also ask some big companies like Microsoft who back legal immigration extensively to help us financially right?

just my 2 cents

Thanks just now i contributed 25$ .... Go IV...

could you post your transaction details/email info@

I was unable to verify

thanks

Weird situation, I decided to call the 800# and got a nice lady who unfortunately spoke very fast for me to grasp.

I mentioned that Since my 140 approval in Jan '09 and as Primary applicant who received a 2nd fingerprinting notice (completed on 5th July 09) and my wife never received any notice.

When I mentioned that I have not received any case updates at all no LUD's even. She checked her systems and said I can see your case is transferred to VSC in Feb '09 and they are currently processing July 24, 2006 you case is within the time frame for processing. When I mentioned that my case has gone from NSV -->TSV -->VSC she could say no more except that they are within the processing time frame. She couldn't give any more details if the case is pre-adjudicated or not.

I mean what the point of PD if their are processing at their schedule and if every transfer means a new shift in dates. I got to get an infopass appointment since the dates are current for me next month.

Sucks just when i wanted to shift houses and now lawyers says wait since your dates are current do not risk doing AR-11

I have great respect for Paskal. I found your posts to be level headed all the time. Looks like you took this personally this time. This only shows how frustrating these times are. This whole screwed up process is wrong and unfair. Any type of comparison us useless.

There are many factors that determine whether you applied EB2 or EB3. It is not just what your qualifications are. Some companies and attorneys have predispositions. Some companies are very liberal with their job descriptions and some or not. We all know that.

We can draw this argument to many levels.

Experience VS Master's degree
Indian degree vs US degree
Desi Body shop Vs Jobs in reputed companies
Company policy VS bought out LCs
Reputed Schools Vs So So schools

Fact of the matter is , There is still some challenge still in applying under EB1 (although I see many more EB1s these days than I used to). But we practically blurred the lines between EB2 and EB3. That is why people talk about EB2 VS EB3 not EB1 vs EB3.

There are many more qualified folks under EB3 for variety of reasons (who practically gave up any hope) and also some who were in EB2 that are probably not EB2 by strict interpretation and spirit of EB2.

Bottom line : We all screwed. Some more than others :)

Just my 2 cents :)














it goes deeper than that. first let me point out that this is philosophical- you argument is not about law, it's about a point of view.

so if i ask you why EB2 filers should spend extra years getting educated and never getting this all important magic "PD" and then get in line behind someone who got a job the day they entered the country- and got a PD soon enough- what would you say?

ask me. it took me 11 years to get a PD. why? for 7 of those years i was getting my advanced education. so why should i suffer behind the 3 year Indian degree person (against my 7 years there as well) who came in 5 years after me and filed right away?

there are reasons why the EB priorities were set up. by simply extending your logic EB1 should also wait for a turn and not have priority. what's good for the goose....

having said that, it is absolutely insane to ask people to wait indefinitely and we must do something about it.

today the EB3 folks (and I have nothing against them, their waits are insane- and it's absolutely not right) are porting to EB2 with those bachelors degrees and 5 years experience. and just because they could APPLY for a GC earlier and all their years get counted in the PD, they keep lining up ahead of me. why do all my years count for NOTHING?

please spare us "fortunate" EB2s a thought too. think of when in life our careers are finally freed from waiting for a GC.

and now please concentrate on ways to end retrogression and stop the EB2 vs EB3 crap. we all have our problems.

where did the wii post get buried- anyone? or did it go to ebay?

Thank you IV team, this has been a great relief.

IV is an open forum.. where immigrants like me can join and express views.

IV is not paid for by just IV admins.. it is paid for by members and then members should be able to express views.

What is wrong about stopping something that is unlawful and illegal?
IF we are going to suppress free speech.. .. how are we different from a totalitarian regime?
Infact, how are we better than a suppressive and divisive organization like numbersusa?

It may take a masters/phd to be in EB2, but it does not take a masters/phd to understand what i am saying.... or does it?



this is not a free speech issue, please dont trivialize the 1st amendment.
You are allowed to express your views without fear of persecution, but the IV forum is maintained by IV admins and they have the right to delete whatever they want.
Free speech means you can go start your own: oppose-interfile.org and no one will stop you. It does not mean that you can post whatever you want on any forum and people must leave it as-is.

I thank all new contributors, I think the efforts from members in the last 2 weeks are truly inspiring.

If you haven't done already, please consider contributing and donating some money to IV. It is entirely run from our donations (and the shortfall made up by the core team).

Talk is cheap guys, put your money where your mouth is so we can continue fighting for us all! The battle is won, the war is far from over

Thanks for your comments.

I honestly do not understand why you seem to be opposed to this approach to alleviate the sufferings of so mant EB3 (esp) and EB2 friends. Discussion and debate are always good.

Here are a few facts:

1. Most of the advanced countries in the world - UK, Australia, NZ, Switzerland, Singapore and some Scandinavian countries offer a time based path to residency and citizenship for the educated class of people who come through the proper channel to work

2. In Canada, Australia, NZ (there could be other countries, but I am not sure) people can apply for a PR based on their OWN education and experience. They are not held hostage by their employers and harassed for ages. It is happening here because the lobbies are very powerful and are supported financially by the corporations to serve their interests. The system has been craftily designed to ensure long term indentured labour

3. In the entire scheme of things the real beneficiaries are the employers and the law firms

4. The system would be streamlined and the work of the government would become much simpler and faster. This is the way governments works in several western countries who offer a time bound programme

5. Every month our EB friends need not stare at the bulletin with great expectations and waste their time

6.Everyone can plan their future better. (I do not think I need to explain this)

Best wishes and thanks for your post..
Instead of wasting time and arguing with others, why don't we start a Blog with this theme. You can put all these facts and the way other countries are doing the immigration process for the professionals. This may attract every one including the Government. In the mean time, we can start sending emails to the Congress men also.
