There is no "Prince William County" in Maryland. List of counties in Maryland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_counties_in_Maryland)
What we have is a "Prince George's County", which joined the 287 g program in December 2009. St. Mary's County Joins Controversial Federal Immigration Initiative - Southern Maryland Headline News (http://somd.com/news/headlines/2010/11667.shtml)
The article may be talking about "Prince William County" in Virginia, which is participating in 287 g program since 2/26/2008.

Right, Pick up the issue with immigration policy organization, and get the clarification, whether the county is in MD, VA or they mistook George to Williams.

PS: I used to be IV donor and also used to contribute my time on IV initiatives. But after seeing that IV is more of an Illegal-immigration Voice rather than Immigration voice, I have stopped my monetary contributions. Hope things will change.

Because IV works in a manner that will get the intended results - they are for illegals? Legal or Illegal - they are part of Immigration - that is how it works.......

You used to support IV through donations and time, but you stopped because IV was not working the way you wanted it to work.............However, you still check the forums, post in the forums .............. may be you are not all that disappointed with IV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember I read this somewhere (on one of the forum threads on IV) - that the only dates movement (if any) for EB-2 (India) will be only during Oct'07 (when the new financial year begins).

Until then, I guess there is no point in checking these Visa Bulletins; Only difference is when one of the pro-immigrant Bills in the Senate or House get passed.

For now, best strategy is to follow IV Core's directives - they have always been on top of things (going by the past one year or so), and seem to know more than most of us.

well..if he converts to a Mormon and moves to Iowa..he can have many wifes:D

I did post about this. We have seen professor's expert opinion letters showing the equivalency to the MA being approved. However, the evidence does point to an equivalency to a BA.

Thanks for your reply, Sheila.

Now, since the evidence does point to equivalent to a BA, can this affect already approved petitions that have been submitted with evidence equating it to MS in past.

You also mentioned in one of the post that you have had 100% success rate equating CA to MS. Now, evidence is pointing to the contrary, I am not sure about the effect on these approved I-140 petitions.

Once again, thanks for your reply.

my sincere advice to you, being a physician myself.
TB test needs min of 48 hrs to be read and if positive, you HAVE to do a chest x-ray. the immunizations are ok.
get her here on the next flight and get the medical done nxt week.
i had my medical on june 26 and i had to literaaly storm the office of the doctor to get my report done, and i mailed to my attorney......oh i can never forget that day!! it was a race against time. and am glad its over.

good luk

This is clearly crap.

Either USCIS or your attorney screwed up.

In either case, ask your former attorney to provide the letter he wrote to USCIS to withdraw his representation. If he did what you asked, good forward the same to USCIS with a MTR and then file a DHS7001 form (google if you dont know the form) with USCIS Ombudsman.

if your attorney screwed up, hire another one first to file an MTR along with your communication to your attorney (also file DHS7001) showing that its the attorney who screwed up and not you. Next hire a good litigation attorney and beat the crap out of this slimy attorney and get him to pay some good $$$.

I sincerely hope its the former and not the latter. Even if its the latter, stay positive and engage a good attorney and litigate. You sure will win some $$$. :)

I started looking for a house soon after filing for my 485/EAD/AP in August 2007. I finally got a great deal (good price and low fixed mortgage interest rates) on a 14 year home in St Louis and then had to decide whether to wait for the EAD approval before buying the home. I decided to go ahead and buy the home.

My EAD was approved sometime back and looking at the turn of events leading up to buying the house, I realized that there is always an element of risk in committing to long-term investment without a GC. However I am sick and tired of the slow GC process and cannot keep postponing important decisions in life. We need to take risks at some point. I know with a March 2005 EB2 priority date, my dream of getting a GC is still many years away. But postponing important lifestyle decisions for later is too much of a price to pay.

While we work on bills, is there anything that can be done without a bill but from some kind of an order from the President's office or the Head of USCIS. Getting a bill thru congress in this climate seems next to impossible ( If we could just counter the -ve bills/amendments that would be significant).

What I am trying to say is there something somewhere that can be done with just one office making the decision then we can all make a concentrated effort towards that one office as we do have a few Legal immigration friendly people at every office.

Any ideas????

I am very surprised about the requests for cheap photos !!! What a pity.
We were ready to spend thousands of dollars just a month ago just to have the ability to apply for I485, but when you get a chance , try to save a few dollars and risk an RFE , delay in processing or even denial.

Walmart photos suck , so are CVS photos. I had them take my pictures in the past. Never used the walmart ones and CVS photos got rejected for visa revalidation. They used Polaroid camera at walmat and they were not good at all.

I took them at Macy's studio , costed me about $30 for 6 copies but they are great. Please choose a professional studio, $20 extra dollars are worth every penny.

Some one mentioned about saving $20 and have a dinner. I would rather have peace of mind knowing my pictures are good enough for USCIS than have a $20 dinner.

Just my 2 cents though. May be I am extra cautious because I got burned once :)

The issue for me is I have pictures from Picture People (a studio-upwards of $80) and a set of my Own. My own look better and are as per specs, but even then its just the thought of who do I blame when the pics get rejected. :-) so i am cool with the decision that the studio photos even though not perfect will be submitted as I can frickin blame someone in case of RFE.

Office of Inspector General, they investigate all Labor Frauds

Can you reveal the name of this employer?

Hi Friends,

what is the best date to mail(Overnight Delivery) the 485 application so that it reaches USCIS on July Second.

Regards,
Alex

May visa bulletin will be here today(most prob.)..they r doing the 'cut and paste" of last bulletin right now..:D
any comments on new bulletin?


Today is friday and 13th, anything can happen. Let's wait for miracle...

Going back to the supplemental AC21 memo:

Imagine an IO who has a very bad mood for the day. Then he receives an AC21 letter for the case he is processing and saw that the i-140 of the person is not yet approved.

And he thought: "Oh....I would raise an RFE for this and see if the previous employer still respond to it".

Do you think this is a plausible scenario?

Done sending both faxes.

I Pmed you all the information, then you go silent. I am getting ready to board a plane in 20 mins and will be unavailable for an hour and half.

PM me back if you need help.

Just trying to help you dude! Dont ask for help and disappear!

Did you ask pappu? man, you missed it. when you come next time make sure you'll take your GC with you. yesterday i came to DC to get my GC but forgot FP appointment today and showed up one hour 30 mins late.

I was also looking here and there after rally no one handed me my green card :D

thanks mhtanim....

It seems that i can file tax using form 4852....but to do if he send legal notice claiming that i have made losses to him worth 25 K....i had good relation with client , gave app notice and also have refe letter from client (received award form client)..........so there shud be no point for liquidation thing and also i have all previous employers emails acepting my receignation and notice period...

Its just what it is - a notice. Let him take it to the court and prove that you actually caused him a loss of 25K. You also have proof from your side that you gave him ample notice and that he has not paid your last month dues ( which he cannot keep ) and so forth including the stuff that he is not giving your W2 ( which is unlawful ).

For every reason the law is on your side. You do not have anything to fear.

And believe me the legal fees for taking this to court will cost him more than the 25K he is claiming and I am sure he will not want to get the DOL to investigate him and his background since it looks like he might have some skeletons in his closet too.

Congratulations!!!

Dear IV folks,

After a long long 7 years I finally received my Green Card y'day.
If not anything... this process does forcefully teach patience, hope, anger mgnt & gives a new understanding of terms UNFAIR & UNJUST.
My app did experience all the delays ..Backlog centers, company change, date portability, NameCheck..
For expediting Namecheck & Serv. ticket I had written/fax/calls to almost everyone in govt. White House, First Lady, DHS Dir, TSC Dir, USCIS Dir, Senator...
Not sure if anything worked, but finally 180 day rule might have helped.

Finally ...it's a great sense of relief.
I was desperately needing it now as I wanted MBA loan & change of field etc.

Special thanks to pappu,logiclife,berkeleybee,Googler ...you guys are the lighthouses in this long tempest.
It's amazing that someone whom you don't know & have never met, inspire & guide so many others.

All the very best to everyone & I hope everyone gets their GC in a FAIR order - FIFO -.

God bless you all.

Yeah, the Nebraska one is on the same date as last month, I guess I should count my blessings. God, what are they doing over there!? Maybe it's because it's summer time and people are going on vacation-less people, less work getting done.
I think a employee of immigration service center should get $100 bonus for completing one application. This will definitely improve their productivity.

all 3 of you :P :(

Thank you very much! ;)

I think that the DOS (Dept of State) releases VISA Numbers on a quarterly basis. If that is the case, there should be movement in EB2 India in Jan 2007.
QT:

You mean Feb of 07, right?
