You can sue this guy successfully there is no doubt, but you should have guts to do.

Most people just have guts to rant here. They won't take flowers to USCIS office or even put some feedback comments on CNN website. Sad but true.

That is accurate I have done 10+2+1+3

So this is actually 16 years of education overall and not 14 as suggested by other member. Sorry to ask, could you confirm this again, or did you mean to say 10+3+1? as you said this is accurate about what other member said.

Did you recieve the RFE yet ?What was it about. Mine is a similar case. We both have LUDs on 02/10 and my wife's 485 recieved an RFE email today.

Not yet. Did not hear from my attorney either. My 485 got another LUD today. Did any of the folks receive the actual RFE? Please post details once you get it, and I will do the same.

Here is the latest update from me:
My 485 had LUDs on 02/10, 02/13, 02/17, 02/18 and 02/19. My wife's 485 had LUDs on 02/10, 02/13, 02/17. My wife's 485 got a RFE on 02/13 - but still waiting for the actual RFE for the details.
My 485 Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.
My Wife's 485 Current Status: Request for Additional Evidence Sent.

Thanks Kax :beam:

I think priness Kit :P

Heh

The "diversity" is a celebrated argument in USA. However, it takes a backseat when doling out amnesty. And "justice" is also important, and you can't sacrifice something as important as Justice for "diversity", which is just a long-term-point-of-view concept

The original intent of the country limits may have been to regulate the system. On the ground level however country limits are actually almost denying (very long wait) retrogressed country folks their GC even if they are similarly qualified. Country limits should have no place in any merit based EB system. I hope that if the amnesty does not have any country limits in CIR atleast EB system should be freed of that, these limits are very restrictive in nature.

In the letter from the new employer include the following (start date, title, job description, salary and position type):

This letter is to verify that Mr. Cool Dude (SSN: ) has been employed by our company as a full-time employee. He has been working with us since Oct 32, 1666 as a Full Time Gamer.

Mr. Dude's primary job duties include:

Put Bulletized description here


Mr. Dude is compensated with an annual salary of $xxx,xxx. The postion is for permanent at will employment and we have continued interest in employing Mr. Dude.

I trust that this letter would assist Mr. and Mrs. Dude in adjusting their status to a permanent resident as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.


Sincerely,

Joe Employer

As far as docs are concerned add the following with the EVL:

Your covering letter
AC21 Yates Memo
3 latest paystubs
I-485 receipt

that would be it ;)


Is there a way you can get me a sample letter from employer?

lawyers fee-1250
fedex-25
medicals-610
photos-100
cancelling trip and appointment for stamping H1B -400

Get a approval notice for I-140 and file I-485 urself, if I-140 not approved then get the receipt number and file urself

But he still needs the Employer Verification Letter from his employer. :(

I stay in an apartment OK. One day my neighbour (living downstairs) was crying with his wife and a small kid. You want to know the reason--NO PAY FOR 2 MONTHS!!!!. All his hard earned money was finished paying rent, OK and his kid was sick. No money, nobody to ask. His contractor said WAIT, WAIT and nothing else.

In that case its better to go to India and lead a much better life than staying in this pathetic state here.

Obviously there's no meaning for an immigrant to stay here away from his home country to be trested almost like an uneducated person.

Living like this is not only bad for one's self respect but is also certainly illegal for the employer.

Its people like this guy why companies liek Infosys etc abuse the visa program and pay less to guys they bring from India to US.

Still waiting for FP and no SR is filed

Hi Guys,

I just received my FP Notices today for me and my wife. It is scheduled on Nov 30th.

Thanks for the reply...
Initially I too got the same doubt that it could be a prank from my friend. But the name of the person who called me matches with the name of the person who visited my employer's office around 2 months back. After I got a call from ICE officer, I notified the same to my employer and explained about the call.
Really donno what to do.... Even though the ICE officer took prior appointment for visiting me, should I still contact attorney?

Never heard of this before...are you by any chance employee of any of the companies named in H1B visa fraud last week?

How about taking out US Masters off all the queues for a while, that will as well speed up the GC process for others. :D:D

Come on guys. Just because CIR is in question for few more months people are coming up with their own agenda. I will come up with my own, how about seperate quota for the folks came in Year 2001 because we faced lot of struggles to keep the job during the bad market.

bump up.

done.

whats ur problem and point dude? Do you think u need use all caps for this post?

LITERALLY BEGGING FORYOUR GCs.

THEY ARE KICKING US OUT AFTER USING US YET WE PROCLAIM OUR SELVES TO BE LOYAL TO AMERICANS...

NOT ONE HAVE I SEEN WITH SELF RESPECT WHO WOULD SAY ...WE SHOULD WORK TOWARDS BUILDING INDIA SO THAT THE FUTURE GENERATIONS WONT HAVE TO KISS THE WHITE ARCE...

SHORTCUTS ...huh ...??


DISGUSTING

I got a quote and passed the physicals, and only two months later was told the underwriter doubled the premium because I did not have green card.


For mortgage, you have to shop around to find one that does not mind your non-immigrant status. I was able to get preapproved for a first time buyer loan with low rate. But I did not purchase the house. So I will not know if they would jack my rate up at closing because of my status as the insurance company did.
Thats interesting to know that we even pay higher life insurances due to not having a greencard. can someone else second this from their experience. I am not aware of these hardships so if we have to say this in any media interview, we need correct information substantiated by facts.

why r we wasting time in such a useless topic...
those who really want to help IV financillay and r backing off frm just some false rumours...

Go to the post Office and send a money order...so tht u dont have to worry abt anything...anyway..its a matter of time u will know all theses rumours were false...

We might succeed in ending GC retrogression...but i am sure some desi minds will retrogress for the next 100 years...

Grow tomatoes in your lawn and sell it to neighbours. Even if you do this for one day, as per law you made some money other than your H1b intended for. You are AN ILLEGALLLL....

If you dont have a lawn / garden, then go to walmart buy something and sell it for a dollar more to your fellow H1b. Let him do the same for you and you both declare that you did some side business and made a dollar. YOU BOTH ARE ILLEGAL. HEyyyyyy you qualify for Z

:) We should find out a way to convince them we worked illegally for cash before Jan 1, 2007. Some one suggested before if we can find another H1B provide an affidavit that he/she did some lawn work at the house both of them will become eligible for the mighty 'Z' visa :D

I agree. No filing for 485 hence no Fee for USCIS. Also does this increase in fee mean in increase in effecieny :)

Well, everyone wishes the rumour to be true.
But you know what, to realize the increase in fees for the I-485, they should allow people to file for it. Unless people start filing for I-485's they are not going to make the $2billion in 2 yrs. If retrogression continues, guess the fee increase doesn't make much sense.... Not sure whether I am right or wrong here.

The skin test is mandatory. Also, your blood test results might take a day or two. I really dont think you have any option but to ask her to come back a few days early.

DOS recently released the visa usage statistics for FY 2008 (http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/FY08-AR-TableV.pdf). For once USCIS managed to use up all the visas allocated for the year. Kudos to USCIS :D But it comes with a price for EB folks. For the past few years, forward movement of PD during the last months of the FY has been propelled due to the spillover of unused FB visa's from prior year. Remember last year almost 23k FB visas got spilled over to the EB limit and caused significant forward movement of PD's for EB2 I/C. Unfortunately in 2008 USCIS used up all of the FB visa's, hence there will be no visa's to spillover:mad: I had consolidated the visa usages in the past few years, Here is a link to the document (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p_liYSUcqZRXA9OjuWUNRag&hl=en). The document has hyper link to the source for all the data.

If you are EB3 I/C and wondering why dates didn't move in 2008. Here is the answer,
EB3-C and EB3-I got 1,985 and 3,576 visa's respectively. With such kind of visa allocation there is no doubt about why the dates aren't moving.

If you are EB2 I/C and dreaming that somehow the new spillover would take care of things. You might be pleasantly surprised by the usage of EB1 and EB2-ROW in 2008. Last year many were dreaming that all of the 23K FB visa's would directly go to EB2-I/C but the data shows otherwise. EB2-C and EB-I got 6,967 and 14,819 visa's respectively for the entire 2008. If all the 23K visa's were used by EB2-I/C then their respective numbers would have been much higher.

Bottom line: Without significant change in the EB limit through recapture or increase in EB limit. The forward movement of PD will be a trickle atleast for the rest of the year. We can pray and do whatever before every bulletins, but the numbers cannot lie and hence the bulletins would be a disappointment (for many) until we grasp the reality.

Let us get our acts together and start working together towards some constructive actions like a bill or an amendment. Let us have a healthy debate on what needs to be done.
