    Guys one more perspective:
    2) Surabhi - nothing personal, but your post reflect how the ideal world should be. However world is not your way always.



    Its not ideal world. I have personally experienced both types of desi companies. Some one has commented about hardships of Desi employers that they cant scale beyond 50 employees, lot of competition etc.



    The reason they cant scale is they cant think beyond immediate future. When I suggested your ex-employee could bring you business, it was termed as long term sort of non-practical thinking. No wonder why many desi employers are where they are.

    Overwhelming majority of desi employers that remain in staffing business havent learnt anything about running business. They are middle men not adding value to employee or the client. They thrive on fear, anxiety in employees and scare tactics created by contracts that they know are unenforceable.

    What they dont realize is it takes 1 disgruntled employee who has nothing to lose and is willing them to take to the cleaners.

My consultant told me that he has a job for me but because for this market companies have freesed there recruitments. So don't get pissed and good luck for ur wiefe's visa this year.

    I don't know the solution to your problem. But I do know that there is a default spell checker when posting message. It highlights misspelled words that you can then right click & correct.

    the above poster summarized it very good. here are some of my thoughts..

    1) we can come up with a formal letter (standard one) which is well written and can be faxed to USCIS director or emailed.
    2) we can also fax/email the same letter to ombudsman so that they are aware of this issue.

    in my gut feeling ombudsman is as close as we can get to uscis if we need visibility to this. optionally we can use the same letter to send it to the senators/congressman.

    The letter should be short, precise, upto the point, without any spelling mistakes, well written. if u look at this post itself, you could very well decide that i am not suitable for that job. can someone in eb3-I who has a good writing skill come up with such a letter and so that we can try what ever we can from our end. its every dog's battle here. and if sanyahari is fighting, its his / her right to do so. so what do u say folks?

    Like poste din another thread, I called USCIS customer service today to speak about EAD application that has been pending for 60+ days. The Phone rep told that he cannot give me any information about any cases right now since their "system is down". I asked for clarificationand he said that cases are still being processed but the system used to view status is down. Not sure what that means.

    Not sure if this will cause any more delays .............. I need EAD renewed by Sept since my current one expires then

    Also anybody has any ideas on what "Plan B" might be if renewal is further delayed by sept?

    All,

    Sorry if I am posting on wrong thread. I am in the process of sending my documents for EAD renewal and had few questions

    Do we need to include a cover letter ?

    Also I am sending the following documents.

    1) copy I-485 receipt notice
    2) copy of EAD (front and back)
    3) two color photos
    4) Filing fee check $340
    5) Mailer stub received from previous EAD.

    Am I missing anything else?

    As for sending flowers to Chertoff or Rice - It is good but let us stick with one person for now (Emilio). Unless you are willing to send to all three :). It will seem like there is more unity amongst us if we send more "number" of flowers.



    Alright .. I will send it to Emilio then... Lets stick together in this.. :p

    Aren't H4 spouses considered as Immigrants ?

    :) sure you are otherwise you wouldn't be living here.

    I am not againist H4 guys but i can't help but laugh when H4 guys complain that they were being treated bad by not allowing them to work.

    One has to understand that US allows ppl on a certain basis and H4 is nothing but to join your spouse (or something like that for kids).

    One can request them to make a provision for H4 ppl to work but blaming that they haven't done that simply by fogetting on what basis they entered US.... hmmm i don't know.

    Questioning their speed of process and other irregular rules... yes i am with you but blaming them for above ... i don't think that is fair.

    I just visited last month. I stayed there for 6 weeks...

    Agree that economy is booking but....

    (1) too much pollution.
    (2) No infrastructure to handle cars and two wheeleers.
    (3) too much mosquito even in winter/summer. I do not know what will happen in rainy days.
    (4) prices for every item have gone up by 3X..Most of the item I am not able to justify the rise. The quality of the product has not gone up.
    (5) easy to set up business..get house...get car but tough to drive peacefully...need to pray god every morning so that we come back home with 2 hands and 2 legs and unbroken body parts.
    (6) Club culture is booming too...so if you have daughter who is teen then need to check by that angle too.

    Just my two cents....

    @ asdcrajnet - All the very best to you !! May you have a great life back home !!

    @Thakkar
    I agree there are many issues we have back home but after all it is our country -:)
    there is something that pulls me back to and we are also thinking we will go back in the next couple of years. It will not be easy as we love this country too...but then one of the main reasons we are going back is the way is the culture here... I am not very comfortable with the culture here and would like my kids to have the Indian culture...I agree there is a lot of westernization back home too...but I guess there is some hope there still to have a little control on the kids...or help them go the right way...here I am not saying it is wrong...but is a totally different culture....which is what I am not able to digest....

    Also, we are alone here no family or extended family and that too is not easy (I think)
    Lack of social support....

    I respect this country a lot and love this country (and my country too -:) ...I am what I am today because of India and US.

    If we end up going (I am sure at some point we will), we will always be greatful to America !!!

    Apahilaj,

    Buddy, it looks like its only you and me remaining who has not received the FP notice. For me its been 30 days since opening SR and nothing. We are the unfortunate ones who have not only not received FP but our application are in TSC , where opening an SR is of no use.

    We may want to try a different strategy to inquire about our FP rather than calling that number floating around which is of no use to us. All I got from calling that number was WAIT , Local ASC must be busy.

    I am not sure InfoPass appointment will help, but hope its worth trying.

    I am July Filer too I have not received evn a single receipt for anything. I called USCIS they said it is taking from 90 to 120 days so wait and call.

    Our I-140 was approved by TSC RN 08/16/06 approved 08/24/06 under regular processing, but we sent 485 package to NSC due to where we live. Received 07/05/07. I was told to call after 30 days, which I did yesterday. I was told a new memo had gone out 08/08/07 internally to each service center stating that all customers should be adviced that let 90 days pass before calling service centers to get receipt numbers. The backlog for data entry was so great that it will take that long before it is all cleared. If you have not received a RN by 90 days then please call back and your case will be dealt with then. He also adviced that as the 90 days approaches, if no RN has been sent to us then make appointment at field office for EAD etc. I did mention that there was no such memo on their website and processing dates showed 07/11/07 for 485. No answer to this. So we wait and see what happens. I can only tell you what I have been told. He did comment on countries with high volumes of visas, "they will be waiting for 10 years plus for actual GC's under the system we have in place right now." Things change everyday, so keep the faith!

    My labour and I-140 is approved last year and I am working with current employer from last 1 and half years. Employer is making good money trough me.

    As now the dates are current, my employer is trying to exploit me.
    He is not responding to my mails, and not picking my phone.

    Last modified message which I got from him is that:

    The whole financials for the company changes with filing 485 for you immediately. So, it is definitely a loss for company to process your 485 immediately.

    you need to come with items that you are ready to compromise in return; so that the company also benefits by helping you."

    I am very much in tension and he is talking to me.

    Can someone suggest what may be the option for me?

    If this is the exact verbiage from his email, You can sue him for lying that filing for your 485 is a loss to company. Talk to a lawyer like Rajiv Khanna or Shusterman if he doesn't hep you file 485 before PD retrogresses. Get as much evidence as possible in email mean while, to set the record straight with a good law suit. If I were you, I would naively try to send an email explaining him that you have no intentions to abandon, company's financials are not affected because of your 485 (its totally personal) and get more crooked responses. Disgusting mo fo's. The most f#$%^ing irony is these AH's have gone through this and know the pain.

    No.

    It is customary to put one year expiration for I-94 for AP entry. It does not mean much.

    I am intrigued by the spirited discussions we have between different categories. Most of the discussions revolves around what is best for "me" which is justified to some extent. Why don't we take a step back and ask this question, what is it that all of our trying to achieve. If the intent is to make sure I get my green card before the other person can, we shouldn't be even thinking about working together and call ourselves a community. We are just wasting our time having discussions and trying to compete among each other. No one initiative will gather steam if that becomes our intent and goal.

    In my mind, we have to think of every one of us as one. Yes, there should be classifications, yes there should be qualifications, years of experience, all that in place. However I believe everyone in this community is "qualified" enough to get a green card in a "reasonable" amount of time.

    Can we all work together and make that happen? Can we as a group start believing this and supporting IV?

    I BELIEVE WE CAN!

    This is a neat idea to draw worthwhile attention which at the same time won't cause any hatred. I'm sure most of us would like to act upon this.

    Can one of core members talk to a florist and workout some kind of arrangement where if we call them and give a code and payment they would process the order with a pre-set message and delivery address. I'm sure we will have a large participation if we make the process simple for the mass.

    Also make this a front page message.

    Did anyone see Byron Dorgan's (Democratic Senator from North Dakota)interview on Stephen Colbert last night? This guy just wrote an anit-outsourcing book (http://www.amazon.com/Take-This-Job-Ship-Brain-Dead/dp/031235522X --no I am not plugging his book!) and he is full of 'they stole our jobs' rhetoric. This is typical outsourcing/globalization-bashing democratic mentality and it's disturbing to seeit still persists 2 years after Presedential elections.

    Am I the only one who thinks that if Democratics takes over the House, we are screwed?

    If the Democrats :cool: win, we will be screwed because the illegals will get all the visas.

    If the Republicans :cool: :eek: win, we will also be screwed because nobody will get visas.

    Feeling depressed does not help you, your family, your employer or your gc process.

    Get up and register for the advocacy event (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=80&Itemid=36)!

    Do something positive about your GC process instead of sitting and saying that it will be years before you get the GC.

    What you do about your GC is in your hands. You can support, and actively seek to mitigate your GC problems.

    I do not understand why people spend their energy in coming up with some lame ideas. Just because you suffer does not mean that your fellows have to suffer, what is the point of being a sane individual with that kind of thought process.

    There are people who come here on all kinds of visas F1, H1, L1 and like this country and stay back and need a green card for convenience. Students who came here want priority over people who came on H1B. It makes sense from their point of view.

    Similarly people on H1B who got stuck in several stages and had to change the company have their own point of view.

    How bout having a lame rule saying that GC for people with I.Q of 140 and above?

    (or)

    How bout having a lame rule like if you have a family you will be penalized by putting you at the end of the line for GC?

    The list can go endless..
    Worry less about who is cutting the line and getting ahead and please concentrate and put your energy and come up with good ideas and showing what we are really capable of..

    You are missing the point here again and taking whatever I said out of context!

    Read the OP's issue again. She never said that she did not understand the laws fully. In fact both her and her desi consulting company know the immigration laws too well and have found loopholes to take advantage of it, which is morally wrong. Now tell me if it is wrong when I say this; If you know you are going out of status because you do not have a job, and you still do not change your status back to H4 in the hopes that you'll eventually land a job, then you have no right to stay in this country.

    Please refrain from bringing in the refugees, their struggle and hardships and try to dilute what I have been saying in this entire thread!

    Sledge_Hammer - You are so shallow in your thinking!

    Every rule in this world has a human aspect. I urge you to grow up. Immigration rules in this country are so complex that even lawyers conflict with each other. We are simple human beings and most of the time we do not fully understand the law. Yes, it does not give us the authority to break the law, however, there are times when you become "out of status" by just sitting at home. There are times when you become victim of situation. I have 1000s of refugees in my city who flee Yugoslavia/Bosnia during ethnic cleansing/genocide of 1990s. US working with UN gave them refugee status and most of them have green cards now. Some of them lost sons, some of them lost fathers and they all have stories to tell. Do I go there with my MS/BS degree and tell them that I was in the line before and I should have gotten the GC before them? No! Do I curse the system for that? No! When countries fall apart and when morality/humanity hits the rock bottom, rules, status go right out of the window.

    Please do not be so harsh on forums.


    I do not have anything personal against you but there are times when you are very harsh on individuals and that changes the whole course of discussion.

    It is a good point that some people have brought up and I am sure IV core will evaluate it to see if it will help more people or less.

    However.........

    I strongly believe that family should be together. Whatever GC and other immigration issues we have, one should strive for keeping the family together at all times. Missing out on even a few years of togetherness with your spouse and kids is not worth it.

    Even in the current system where dependents come under EB quota, I have known people where one spouse got the GC and the other one had to wait for many years because of a name check or something. But the current laws (EAD/AP etc) made sure that atleast the family was not broken up.

    If we are looking for a change or correction of law, we need to make sure that the new law has NO kinks that hinder family staying together. If primary applicant gets a GC and the spouse is still waiting for 5 more years (it is possible), then the primary applicant can get citizenship and apply for a new GC for the secondary. Like I said - This situation is possible even in the current system.

    As long as kinks are discussed with the lawyers and smoothened out to preserve family togetherness, it should be fine.

    Not sure if its a BREAK or no Visa numbers...

    On a serious note, there have been 4 cases approved today(from other site - 2 cases from India and 2 from ROW). So looks like there are some ROW applications also in queue during this time of the year getting approved. I saw someone from EB2-ROW getting 485 approved (filed 140/485 concurrently) in a record time of just 30 calendar days(Filed on July 26th and approved Aug 25th). Never heard USCIS was so efficient.
    Looking at the positive side, since they are still approving ROW cases, it may mean that spillover is still happening and there are visas available.

    It depends on amendments. If there is no one, just after the president's signature. But the good thing about 90 days is, they can add/update things behind the seen.

    I am a lurker in this site. This is my first post. I have seen many posts by United Nations. He has helped and still trying to help many users at IV. His posts has insight and valuable information. Doubting his intentions just because he is in this society for 35 years is not appropriate.

    I agree, UN has given good, free advice and information worth thousands of dollars in here without any malice, and he's always ready to give any info, i think he deserves more respect that someone childishly questioning him.

    Like many many people have said before - the GC is not the end of the road. it is just a milestone. Life goes on, irrespective.

    Try playing this game:
    1. What if my GC is delayed by 10 yrs?
    2. What if it is denied?
    3. What if I have to go back to my home country?

    What if, what if, what if....You will find that it is really not as bad as you think it is. The alternative solution may be much better, and make you much happier.

    We have been here since 2001, had 4 GC processes started between me and my husband. The one with a PD of Dec 2005 (under Eb3!!) is the one we have used to get our EAD's. Yeah, its a long, long wait - but has that stopped us in any way?

    1. My husband has a very good job and likes what he is doing- although he would like to cut down his travel.
    2. I have a v.good and v.well paying job
    3. We have 2 beautiful daughters - who are both American citizens by birth.
    4. We have a beautiful home ( we bought a house 3yrs ago, irrespective of the fact that we were on a H1B)
    5. We have fairly good savings, good US education, diverse & valuable work experience
    6. A Canadian PR as a back-up

    What I am trying to say is this - you cannot control USCIS/ DOL/ the FBI...but you can take charge of your destiny. Build a strong foundation for yourself and your family. Have a good back-up plan (or two!). Participate in activities that interest you. make a difference in others lives - educate a few children. Take care of an elderly person. Leave a legacy behind.

    And have a good life! Stop worrying! Happiness will follow.

    Cheers!

    More conservatives are backing our cause than liberals. Seems counter initutive to me. Mid-western, southern red state senators are supporting high-tech immigration while I dont seem to hear anything from coastal blue state senators except about illegal immgirants. Why?

    You are in this society for 35 years, so I'm not sure what's your objective of being on this forum...Anyway about your observation on Visa spill over, what you are saying is 180 different tha what other lawyers are saying, they are saying until 2007 DOS was reading the law differently so India was getting the spillover Visas, now they have started reading it differently hence India is not getting more than 7% Visas now, it is very obvious, from EB-3 India being in Oct-2001 for last 2 years, and EB-2 haven't seen any substantial movement either....Also you seems to be straying from the original intent of the thread...Very well written. I can tell you through my observations of living in this society for 35 years:
