I hear what you are saying. I am just saying this is a band aid solution.

jasquil

Yes, but you are missing the one important fact, that "band aid solution" would put band aid to thousands of hurt people which will sooth them for a while. I understand, your 485 is already in pipeline so you already have those band aids but claiming to be sorry portrayed you very selfish. Think about teh group then you will slowly start forgeting your sorriness.

SpringFlower: Can u share which state/city your FP is scheduled in? I think people in crowded places like Bay area, CA get FPs later than less crowded areas.

We got FP notices for me & my wife on 01-25-08. Finger printing date is Feb 6th, 2008. Same date, same time for both of us. Just perfect!

We filed our I-485 application/EAD/AP on July 6th, 2007.
Ours is a transferred case (NSS-CSC-NSC).

Did not open any service request.

Looks like they started processing transferred cases.
People who have been waiting should be getting their FP notices now.

Once the FBI Name Check delays issue is resolved, only thing that would be withholding your GCs will be insufficient Visa Numbers. IV is already working to recapture and increase those.

Find Job in Oregon :confused:

Let me acknowledge..This thread made me easily come out of holiday blues. Above thats its friday...!!!!

My take on this situation....ask your freind to apply for concurent H1b's..it works out well with concurent wives...!!!!:):):) He can bring one wife on each visa..!!!!


May be he can apply for blanket H4...

placed my vote, all entry's were awesome, well done everyone. :smirk:

Again, incorrect english - Why dont you go learn english and then post here - Till then use your local language forums only !

I am not in the bed with you to take your direction

I don't care about LS. Almost all cases I know are fraud. Sometimes 2 guys got GCs on same labor(since they were not asking Original LC). Thank god USCIS banned LS.

God Bless USCIS for banning LS.

If you had the opportunity of getting a Substitute labor and potentially get your GC sooner rather than later, wouldn't you grab it with both hands. It is the GC Freedom.

I am also thankful that DOL and USCIS have banned Labor Substitutions but please give those who have used them a break. They are also in the same boat as you and me (people with regular labor). Chasing the American Dream. No offense intended.:o

Congrats!!..

BTW,which service centre?

Nebraska

how on earth could he have gained 12 votes so fast???

grr!!!!


:(


oh well, it's just a battle :beam:

There should a seperate quota for immigrants from Jhumri Talliya

In the same lines as H1B, could we look into if its possible to add a quota for US Masters degree holders irrespective of country of birth for green Card also. This would be in addition to the existing Employment based quotas.
Does anyone know how they added 20k H1B quota for Masters degree holders? Who sponsored that bill? May be we should talk to the same people.

I would think there would be a little less resistance for this? This would ease the pressure on both EB2 and EB3.

I dont know if this has been previously looked at. I know there were talks of excluding these people from quota all together.

5. This employer is a consulting company...(desi) & they asked me to sign a financial agreement to repay their expenses on labor substitution/I-140/I-485...if I will leave them early. ...Is it legal to ask for such kind of agreement...?

Please let me know as much as info/ guidance you can provide to me.

Great thanks in advance for all of your help.

-------------------------------------------

Asking you to sign an agreement is not illegal. There are employers (even big names) who ask their employees to take care of the expenses for GC processing. The main concern should be to verify if this company practices fraud. The only way to check is either by searching on the web or talking to some other employees who work for this consultant (making sure these employees are also not part of the fraud).
I am sure you have heard about people like Nick Mandalapa who were filing multiple I-140 for the same labor certification . The sad part is that there is no USCIS online system to verify if a labor certification was used to successfullly file I-140/485.
And remember that if there is fraud it can haunt you ater in your life even "AFTER" you get your GC. USCIS can revoke your GC at any time if there is a proof that a fraud has occured in the process.
I hope this helps and best of luck.!

All the people who crib about red dots: There is nothing IV can do about it.
This is a feature of the forum software.If some one uses foul language in forum posts then admins can warn them or block them. It is not possible if they do it in comments.

Actuallly, I suggest IV kickout anyone who cribs about red dots or that someone is using foul language in PMs/comments.

Keep the eye on the ball guys. If you see all the bullshit the IV admins bare with some other guy showing up every few weeks asking questions as if IV Core is getting rich off of the contributions. And some other guy shows up with a great plan (no sarcasm intended) asking CORE to make his thread sticky instead of keeping the thread on top by bumping it every few hours or so.Then when the core doesn't respond to their idea/request to make the thread sticky start abusing them. They take all that in stride and still continue to pour their hearts into something they believe in.
Now here are people so worried that they got a red dot and need the grievance be addressed. If not they will be afraid to post. If all it takes some one to stop you from posting your ideas is to give a red dot, how can any progress be made?

Think about it people.

Yes there is an action item - Phone campaign to gain support for HR 5882, 5921 and 6039.
HR 5921 (removing country quota) more specifically will provide EB3-I more relief.
HR 5882 (recapture of unused visa's) will make ROW EB3 current and the additional visa's will rollover to EB3-I

Participate in the phone campaign and also call U'r own lawmaker to seek support from them.

Guys! is there any action item for IV regarding in this "Worst Effected Category EB3-India"?
Let us make some effort here, how we can help this category? Yeah! we all know fund drive first thing.

Thanks for this update. Seems like good news is finally trickling in. Thanks to the IV team.

Those who are yet to participate, join in! We can make it happen together.

Just wrote to whitehouse and to my senator.

Mybid2003,

If your case is filed by lawyer, then your lawyer will also receive a copy of your FP Notices. So you may want to contact your lawyer and see if he got it?

I'm certain you cannot do that. While applying for H1B Visa, you can use experience in lieu of education, but while Perm/I140, they consider only 1 degree. Either its Masters or its Bachelors...even both of them are not considered as aggregates.

If your attorney is planning that way, he may not have handled such cases before... :eek:

You cannot substitute degree with experience while applying for Perm/I140.
WhiteStallion is right. I received ref on my EB2 due to combination of degrees. However, once filed with single degree as Master's it was approved

this is absurd, why would wire transferring money have immigration officer visit the candidate, if they dont want to give us GCs then most people will continue to transfer money.

I agree I did for the same reason.

Online status does not change when they send FP notices.
There will be a change in LUD after you give FP.

Will they not update status when they send any FP notice? Even if one misses the letter, one will get an idea whether something happened or not. Or are you saying that they don't even change the status when they send FP notice and if it misses to reach us we never would be knowing at all??
Can anybody clarify whether they update at the online status system when they send FP notice. Otherwise there is some reason for a mild worry; still don't see any reason for the kind of anxiety people are having for not having FP.
