How many single folks are here in forum and contributing $100 per month. I dont think the ratio of members registered to members contributing make any sense at any time to do any lobbying for specific group. IV should have one goal and stick to it. I appreciate those singles who contribute and work as a team with IV. No offense. But with 20,000 registered users, there are only less than 500 recurring contributors. Some are not even registerting.
What happened/happens to the PBEC / DBEC backlogged people? They are in the worst situation than these single fellows.

I was wondering when you received the RFE. Were you in the US when you received it ? Did you travel to India for a visa stamping ?

we should ask him when EB3 India will get current? He will stop eating after that. :)

"Representative Elton Gallegly (R-CA) introduced H.R. 133, Citizenship Reform Act of 2007, which would limit citizenship by birth to children born to at least one permanent resident or citizen parent."
Does this mean that if we do not have green cards our childern born here are not citizens. Am I understanding it right..
This bill will not even be discussed.

My wife's H4 extension is sitting in CSC and they are currently doing Oct 16th 06. Even though I gave my docs in mid nov, they ended up filing in Jan with a notice date of Jan 09/07.
My wife would like to move on to H1, she missed it last year as she was out of country. Does she need her H4 to be approved before she can apply for H1?
If I request a Premium Processing for my I 129, will that result in her application being approved along with mine. I 129 & 539 were filed together. It appears that I have to do mine as my DL expires in Apr 1st week and I dont see the H1 approval coming through. Does USCIS consider both different applications and ask for 2 different fees for PP?
Thanks

Congrats on getting your green card. Your post and attitude is the exact reason why DOL has made it almost impossible to get EB2 certification especially in the software field and why people despice consultants like you and your desi employer.
You said in your post "Appiled for EB3 labor in jan 2004, even though i am qualified for EB2" dear sir its not your qualification that determines whether you get to file in eb2 or not but it is what the job requirements are that determine whether it is eb2 or eb3.
Another line from your post "After realizing that the dates will never become current for EB3, my desi employer files for EB2 labor" this and the previous line clearly show that you and your desi employer have no respect for the law. It is because of blatant abuse like this that DOL is cracking down on eb2 filings. Now thanks to people like you and your desi employer who have abused the law now even eb2 india might never become current because tons of people have already ported and spillover to eb2 is not happenning anymore like previous years. People have realized even eb2 india is never going to move beyond 2003 so "consultants" like you and desi companies have moved on to abusing eb1. Seems like you are proud of your achievement just like the L1 folks from desi companies who brag about getting green card in less than an year by abusing L1.
To all the people who think they can pull a trick like mr salawrene by filing in eb2 again hard luck there are 120000 485 applications from India with USCIS with eb3 and eb2 having about 60000 each, because of abuse in Eb1 no more spillover of visa numbers to eb2 india wil occur so eb2 india will not move forward, on top of it dol is cracking down on eb2 filings. eb2 India might start moving backward to 2003 or 2002 and will remain stagnant like eb3 because no visa spillover is happenning.
because of desi consultants and desi employers abusing the system the whole EB community is suffering, high time we respected the law and stop this practise. for speaking the bitter reality if eb2 and eb1 abusers, consultants, desi employers want to give me a red go ahead and do it, but ask yourself have I said anything which is incorrect
I recived my I485 approval on May 30th after 10 years coming into this country.
I just want to mention my GC journey here, hopefully this will help atleast some of the members in making decisions in their process. Appiled for EB3 labor in jan 2004, even though i am qualified for EB2. Applied for I140 after the EB3 labor approval and received I140 approval. After realizing that the dates will never become current for EB3, my desi employer files for EB2 labor. Applied for I485 based on EB3 labor during the July Fiasco from the desi employer. After 180 days, took the permanent job with the client with base salary of almost 100% increase ( with bonus it might be around 150% ) and with manegerial duties. Mean while my EB2 labor from desi employer gets approved, so my desi employer files I140 for EB2 labor that gets approved with old priority date of Jan 2004 and I485 becomes current. Recevied RFE on my I485 for Employment Verification Letter. I took the EVL from both the current employer and the desi employer ( for future employment ) and written an affidavit saying that, i have the intent to join the desi employer once i recive my GC because he is such great employer, to keep the validity of I140 based on EB2 from desi employer. After one month of my RFE responce, i received my 485 Approval.
So You can always take promotions with more responsibilities using AC21, as long as you are in the same occupation, % of increase in salary doesn't matter. I have clearly mentioned my salary number in the EVL that shows huge difference.
My EVL clearly mentions that my current job duties includes more responsibilities and manegerial duties.
I read one big court case document involving 485 process by Rajesh khanna that the main important thing that USCIS looks for during 485 approval is inadmissability means no status issues. So as long as you are in the same occupation, you should be fine.
I had problems with my H1 and had to work around 150 days without H1B Approval after my I94 expiration, this was taken care of by 245K because of my travel to india with another H1.

In this current scenario , by the time anybody get to file 485 , he/she would have spent considarable time with the same employer with no promotion and pay hike. The thought of to spend another 1 year after green card leaves everyone shivering and hence was my earlier post

Hello friends,
Of late everybody is talking about bad economy. I mean its all over the TV and newspapers. Apparently we are in a recession since past one year (since Dec 2007).
However, odd it may though sound, I don't see any real economic slowdown in IT sector. I mean all my friends and acquaintances in IT industry in the US and India are retaining their jobs. I recently talked to my IT recruiter and she told me that as far as she is concerned this year has been like any other years. Bit sluggish at the year end, but loads of requirements lined up for January next year.
Am I the only one who is feeling this way, or others also sensing the same thing. Maybe the real jolts are still lying in the future, in the coming year. Or may be its just a hoax. I would love to know other people's observation on this strange anomaly between what is being reported in the media, and what is being observed on the ground.

I'm afraid of same things too...Hope something will work out.
Based on Assement in this article, it almost seems that the chances of STRIVE are dead even before it goes to House Immigration Commettee. I am not trying to be negative or something but the article has such a tone. I can understand that Pelosi did not schedule any timing but what concerns me most is the fact that
"California Democrat Zoe Lofgren, who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law, will hold hearings before marking up any bill"
Now we all know how one sided these hearings are and how long they take. In nutshell these hearings give chance to any tom, dick and harry to express his opinion and create melodrama. We already worry about melodrama of people such as Sen Sessions in the Senate. Add this drama, and it can easily eat the short window we have to get the relief. I really hope I am wrong here but I have a bad feeling about this :(:mad:

Just to add, this is the risk of not working for the company after getting the EAD. The employer can easily prove that the person had no intention of working for the company. AC21 cannot protect that person.
the guy who used AC21 got his GC and rightfully so since he left after 6 months.
Our friend was the one who got the labor sold by his desi employer leech..to him
its good atleast that Ac21 works and it should..now with substitution banned the new AC21s will be protected..as long as they didn't substitute..
Finally labor substitution was a bad choice! thats the moral of the story..

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
NO WAY.

Keep in mind when you change to your new Job .Your previous labor was approved in specific job code plus your advertisement which your old company used for filing perm application. All those job requirements need to match at least by 50% or so.

Does anybody recall an old TV serial in India named 'Appu aur Pappu' about a boy and his elephant?! :D
Looks like the long GC wait is turning me into a crazy person if I start recalling such old serials! :(
I was remembering the Tinkle story shambu shikari...lot of old stuff comes back for some strange reason
