Hi All,

There is nothing wrong in sending the flowers. People will have to make sure that their message is well written.

Please note that it is not USCIS who decides the priority dates. It is DOS who decides the VB. USCIS just follow that VB says.

there is such a huge backlog for Indians that even the news above won't help much... overflow from family category has slowed down and previous recaptured visas are over ..the news that CIR has been delayed could be good as there is higher chance that there maybe some sort of relief ..other than that the situation is HOPELESS !!!

My passport was renewed by Consulate of Chicago and the fields last name and first name were interchanged.

I used the miscellaneous service form. The reason i gave was other and also did not fill my name on the form. I took it to the consulate along with my old passport and showed them the error. They agreed to make a correction and then I filled in the name on the miscellaneous service form the the way i wanted it to look like.

They provided an endorsement on the second page of the passport and this should be good for travel and all other purposes. I did not need an affidavit as the old passport was used as the proof.

I believe you should be able to use the same.

We all understand the EB immigration system currently as is needs to be fixed. We need to recognize this problem first. What I don't understand is most of the people I talk to about issues do not recognize the problem or are willing to accept it as is. They don't seem to be motivated in supporting IV from volunteering or providing financial support. If you look at this forum, take the amount of people who are registered and the amount of people who actually bring tangible value to this organization. What is in those few that we don't have? Let us all recognize that there is a problem first and lets think about ways to mobilize and spend energy in one direction set by IV.

Yes, we may not agree with every solution, but let us focus and believe that something will happen, if we all try together!

As of today Dec 20, 11:10 AM we have reached 43.97% of our target
I guess you mean Dec 20.

Hi Guys.. need someone to answer my question, if possible. Thanks in advance.

My PD is Sep 2004 ( EB2 India ) and I was also July 2007 filer, and also the victim of my 485 being closed by USCIS nebraska in May 2008, which anyways got reopened within a month after supplying necessary documentation ( Approved I140 and moved to new company etc ) . I work on an EAD now. My question is

1) My AP is expiring in mid October. Should I file for a AP renewal and spend extra money ? Do I have a chance of getting GC in September ? Btw I was told last year at USCIS newark, NJ office that all the background checks and other things show clear on my case.
2) I moved my apartment 2 blocks away early this year, but my city and zip code are the same. If I file an AR11 ( change of address ) , will it raise any flags, since I have read on this forum that a change of address sometimes prompts an RFE. I am a bit scared of going through ups and downs, so I just feel like not doing anything which might create any kind of issue after so many years of pain.

Please give your insight. Thanks so much in advance !
Jim77, it is highly advisable to apply for your EAD (if it is expiring soon), not neccessarily your AP if you do not intend to travel. You also will need to file your AR11, reason being any government communication is not forwared to the new address. If you were to be approved for the GC next month, it will not reach you as the post office will send it back to USCIS as undeliverable. Filing an AR11 will not trigger any RFE. Maybe if you changed cities, then it might coz there might be a concern on what status you were working on, like if you had an AC21 etc. but within the same zipcode, I dont think so.

You are all entitled to read 10000 lines of goobledegook....

Follow the URLs I posted...
I have to first think of the words that I have to search for. Alisa has already picked on me that I don't even know ROW, RIR, Schedule A. This is not very useful for me.

Is there a Java Specification kind of book that I can start from begining to end? Thanks.

To all those who are advising Mr. thunderbolt to not do anything and keep looking into their son's eyes for the rest of their lives thinking.... "I let someone beat you up when you were an infant and didn't do jack"... here is another one.

Say, instead you had a daughter who is about 9 yrs old. You hired some Indian dude on tourist visa to mow your lawn & you hire this dude coz he charges way less.One day, you witness this dude violating your daughter physically.

What do you do now? Is this situation different. The baby situation is worse.

I have no kids yet, but it pisses me off that people here would let a child abuser get away coz it might interfere with their american dream.

Tell me. Why should someone hire a illegal nanny in the first place? Knowing the consequences, why should they come on this forum and ask for support?

I strongly recommend thunderbolt to post the video on youtube and share it with all of us. He can share the link on sulekha also.

Well - it is his choice if he wants to complain to the police.

I am sure mr thunderbolt will never go to the cops because of his immigration status

I pledge $50 for this effort but I would also like to state that we should think before we move ahead, some items to consider are
- Some one mentioned that we should try to leverage the press to get coverage for the response.
- We should forward the response from USCIS to the president, first lady, ombudsman, Secretary of State etc
- Get an exact understanding of what information would benefit us most and make sure we ask specifically for that
- Try to negotiate a better rate with USCIC ;)

Peace

Since you have not applied this time...you cant get in this years Quota..so get an job where you can get h1 sponsorship next year..So take off to india once your opt is over...get the employer to get you the h1b papers once approves and start to work next 08 Oct1...

Good luck~!

Even one year after July 07 bulletin, the State Department is saying that USCIS is not estimating accurately. Where is the question of estimates, they should look at ACTUAL data.

And where is IV management? Yes, people should work with their state chapters.....but now is the time for the core IV group to wake up and take up the fight with the higher ups in the goverment. Show them how the State Department + USCIS is treating immigrants because of their lethargy and laziness.

I think state department has made a mistake by writing that USCIS can not estimate (in the latest bulletin) and we should take full advantage of it. Complain-Complain-Complain, make them look bad, and in this election year they may act on it...........

His research (computational fluid dynamics (CFD)) papers are not even submitted because of him not being on Green Card.

Thanks for sending this to us. This will definitely help our case as an immigrant wants to help the US Governement project with his research and he is thinking about going back to his country

count me in guys...lets get the ball rolling... its go time.

Few big question we need answer tow
1) Why is there no forward movement of dates if there is visa was available from this year/quarter's quota... what is up with retrogression?

2) If visas were unavailable, why was the fucking date advanced to Sept 2006?

4) Why was FIFO not followed during adjudication?

3) How the Fuck long do they need to determine the backlog ..? we need USCIS to publish the backlog stats. Without that visa bulletins are pointless?


Enough bullshit.. as some user suggested here .. we should just raise stink and ask for their resignation

All the 485 cases filed are i their system, it s simple fucking sql query .. or a join at the best ... a blind monkey with hair on its breast could find an aswer to that question in a few mins.


looks like it is me and you only sweet_jungle. I will still go for it. I think people have either gotten their gc and the left out ones have lost hope.

That memo could be correct but the EB2 approvals that are happening now are the based on the visa numbers left over by ROW in EB2 and EB1

having less no. of hours in monthly payslip counted towards out of status?
(or)
without payslip is counted towards out of status?

Lets see, she
1. was here illegally
2. was convicted of shoplifting.
3. Drove without a license.
4. Had unpaid driving fines. (Bet she didnt have driving insurance either).

She had her delivery in a hospital which automatically assures adequate care for the child (paid for by the good citizens of Maricopa county, i should add).
As long as the pregnancy is uncomplicated, a woman is perfectly capable of delivering with a leg shackled. In no way does that put her at risk of complications.
Yes it would have been humiliating, but whose fault is that?

Articles like this are published primarily to sway public opinion in favor of illegal aliens and amnesty. Judging by the responses I am impressed who effective they are.


From your above Post - "As long as the pregnancy is uncomplicated, a woman is perfectly capable of delivering with a leg shackled. In no way does that put her at risk of complications."

No suprise if 12/21/2012 happens real, people like you among us, I think Mayans must have predicted people like you in this era.

Thanks to all of you.

Yes...please keep a print out of July interim memo (if you have to go to an interview)

when I went for the interview, I have truck load of documents..everyone was looking wierd at us..

They didnt check any Tax returns, bank statements..BUT DO TAKE THEM.

may be she didnt check them because I had a big bump around filing date.

As I posted on another thread, I do not believe that all those old approvals are due to sub labor.
A large part is related to FBI name check; remember, they just cleared a lot of name check cases...Not necessarily a bad thing, but we always feared as to how big is that number and it is still early to see the full impact of "clearing of that backlog>"

when we had options to donate $20, a large number of members came out with the same argument for reducing it to $10!
meanwhile the check option usually allows flexibility and is temporarily down for some circumstances beyond immediate control. it will be back though.

Yes, I first thought to send a check and I remember As*** specifically instructed me the last time about what you have just mentioned and so I wanted to use paypal but I do not have that option under paypal (< 100). Anyway I will wait then.

Thanks for effort; I will contribute.

Thanks for the effort. I will contribue atleast $25 for this cause. I would like to know how many more people are in line before me, that info will be very helpful to me in taking plenty of personal & professional decisions.
