done . Sent 2 faxes.

Guantanamo may be kept open just for us .... and they will charge us $5000/$10000 per extension which is due per year ;)

I thought Guantanamo was being closed soon. They might ship us to detention centers in Afganistan or Iraq. :D Hope they have more high tech jobs there.

since there are many knowledgeable guys here ..I had another question - is there a law which says how the spillover should take place ? i.e. EB2(W) should go to EB2(I) etc ? I wonder why they don't send the extra visa's to the category that is in the worst position ..EB3 - I in this case ?

Only ROW EB3 spillover can make it to EB3 India and as ROW itself is retrogressed, that will not happen.

However, if you check 2007 assignments, Eb3 India got over 10K visas, though the stipulated limit is around 3K.

S**t cloture passed

gives good insight about the infopass

Thanks buddy.

hey guys the main problem with digital cameras was that the images from them could be pixelated whn using a lower megapixel camera and/or printing from one of those home photo printers.

i think as long as u dont have pixelation, u will be fine no matter how u print/ get those photos.

i would say use at least a 4 megapixel camera without any flash

What about a 3.2 MP :)

Why shouldn't we use the flash?

Thanks a lot bro

LIN # is that the Reciept Number for I 140 if yes then the online status on that says "Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On July 26, 2006, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.
"

but this got a soft LUD on 12/30/2007 but the message is the same as it was ever.

which is also a Answer to your Question 3.

But the only thing is my lawyer did not file any job offer letter while appling for my I 485 as i did not had any as i did mentioned we had a disagreement and the employer is not willing to give me any letter.

but my current employer is a best person to work with and he is ready to help me at any extend he will not mind doing anything which will help me getting my green card.

Please advice if this could be an issue not having the employer letter while filling the I 485.

Thanks

It does not make any sense to send a new offer letter with AC21 unless you know the right job title or job description.

you would have a safe bet once you know your job title and send a new offer letter with your current employer and AC21 letter.

I can help you if you need AC21 letter.

good luck

Can you please explain in detail what the RFE was about? What was it that USCIS did not like about your photos?

Thanks!

Dude, You are looking at not getting a RFE based on the pics. Not that picture people or JCPenny takes great pics and make u look like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise.
:D :p
I got 2 RFE's for pictures only. Those are the only 2 RFE's till date for me.
I had real bad experience with digital pics. But there are many people who didnt have any issues. So it is all your luck.

If you have RFE, it sets u back by 2 months for the approval.

Just my 2 cents.....

Read question no. 13
MurthyDotCom : 485 FAQs (http://www.murthy.com/485faq.html#13)

Attorneys will obviously give this kind of answer because their loyalty is to their client which is the employer who gives them their revenue. So they'll answer which would be in favor of their client. Inspite of several questions of this kind on her forum she or any of her attorneys have not cited a single example of anyone running into trouble on this issue.

Not married yet. GC approved much earlier than others.

I see good news in both these sentences.

Just kidding.

Student visa option will work for you, also even if you get married
H1 is always a option to bring your wife here.

same time 5.30 pm central NBC weekend news. this would be pathetic if they do not air the interview!!!:mad:
talking about animals !! and the new rich!! how is this important for the general public to know?!!!!

Have anybody of you whose cases have transferred from NSC to CSC and back received Finger Print Notice.

I really don't understand, what can be RFE about, as you have been with the same company all these years. You really deserve a Greencard straight away without a single question after such a Long wait. I hope your RFE is very simple to answer and I wish that you get your Greencard soon. Good Luck.

Thanks for the good luck . I really need it !

I am hoping that it would be something simple as well.

- I am guessing it might be about employment verification (since its been a long time),

OR

- Current job description (probably they want to make sure I am in the same job role or going to be in the same job role for which GC was applied) . Which is more or less the case. My law-firm/company did a good job of declaring a generic (still O*net compliant) job title/description which luckily encompasses the range of roles (compliant with the job description) I have been doing over the last 8 years. And if required, at this point, I am at a stage where I am willing to take a demotion or something if required to work on the job role that matches the GC temporarily, if thats what it takes. And I am sure my company will fully support me. There is no dearth of requirement for fresh coders/developers at our team/company. They would probably be happy to oblige :D . But I hope it doesn't come to that. I think there is some leniency allowed in the growth of job scope/promotion etc over the course of years it takes to get the GC. Gurus any comments ?

OR

- some clarification about overall H1B status or something across all these years (although I know for sure my H1B status, I-94 etc has been perfectly clean so far)

OR

- Medical checkups may have expired and they need new ones? (my medical reports are from June 2007)

OR

- Ability to pay ! I don't think this would be the case. My company is a well reputed/respected Fortune 50 company. So hopefully USCIS IOs are also aware that my company would not have ability to pay issues! But who knows, in these economic crisis, they probably doubt every company !

OR

- Questions about Mergers/aquisitions/layoff announcements at my company?? I don't think these events by themselves matter/affect my I-485 case after the I-140 stage. My lawyer had clarified to the same effect. But they might trigger a request for employement verification.


What could be other reasons that you guys can think off?

techysingh,
This is what I wrote. I just faxed last Tuesday and havent heard from either Congressman or Senator. To this letter I also attached a copy of my I 140 approval (shows PD), a copy of I 485 receipt notice and 2 service requests that were started for me.

Congressman XYZ,

Subject: Request for assistance with delayed Immigration Petition


Dear Sir,

I would like to request your assistance with a pending petition with USCIS that has seen an undue delay in processing. This I 485 petition (Application to Adjust to Permanent Resident Status) and has been pending at the Texas Service Center since it was received. The receipt date is June 15, 2007 which is prior to what is currently listed as the processing date on the USCIS website (current processing date listed as of September 30, 2008 is June 27, 2007. USCIS has not updated the processing dates after September 30, 2008 on their website).

My Priority date of August 9th, 2001 is current for my case category EB3 India. I have requested a status update from the USCIS service center and 2 service requests were started on my behalf but I have not heard anything or seen any progress on my case.
I would appreciate any assistance in speeding the processing of this petition. I am enclosing relevant receipts and letters. Please let me know if you need any further information.


Sincerely,

nozerd

hey soul .. i finally voted this morning

i voted for yours too !! =)

i really like it .. actually i wanted to do something like that but i have no patience .. :sleep:

Without knowing the situation of all the students, it is not fair to jump into conclusions. I am sure at least a few if not all the students, left India and come here with an intention to cheat. Some of them may not have known the true intent or authenticity of this university. From their standpoint it could just be they have gotten into a recognized univeristy in the US and this was going to be a gateway to a bright future. USCIS should only have themselves to blame before blaming the students for issuing I-20s, CPTs and OPTs. If the students came here on valid I-20s and are doing all the right things by going to class, why blame them. Again there could be students who are taking advantage of the system and doing the wrong things but there is blame everywhere.

All of us come here with dreams, dont we. Sometimes the dreams turn into nightmares and when it does we dont have to go out of our way to support the students in distress but the least we could do is stay away from adding to their woes. This is not a time to play smart Alec.

STUPIDITY

LOVE BEING A SUBMISSIVE SLAVE

so much for a free modern world...bbbrrrrrrrrrrrr


off to India ..no more pepsi, coke jeans for me ...the real GANDHIGIRI is wear home made khadi clothes....hit them where it hurts and that is MONEY


HELP LOCAL INDIAN ENTERPRENEURS ..SENDING FLOWERS is really cheesy and idiotic ..who came up with this stupid idea???

So after more than a month of sleepless nights, thanks to Immigration Voice looks like my I 485 application is back on track.

A recap of my situation:
Last month I got an email from USCIS-CRIS stating that my I 485 was withdrawn. After being in this country for close to 10 years and in the immigration queue for more than 7 years why would I withdraw the application ??? I did not withdraw my application !!!

It took me more than a month to find out the reason behind the withdrawal..trust me it was not easy..and guess what ....It was my Attorney who had withdrawn the application in Error. Now what ... I call USCIS multiple times.. talk to many different IO's .. some of them patient and try to help.. some extremely rude.. but all of them had only one thing to say... they cannot help!!..... I get an Info Pass... no help there either.. I set up an emergency meeting with my attorney (one of the large Immigration Law Firms) .. nothing...they accept their mistake tell me that they will do all they can .. but no assurance that they will reinstate the case .. limited forward movement.... things look gloomy and bleak..no one can help me.

Then I called Immigration Voice on the number that is listed on the site and left a voice mail. Promptly got a call back I spoke to a Core member who understood the gravity and urgency of the situation and swiflty moved forward and got in touch with their contacts in the government. The Core member also put me in a conference call with the person who was going to look into my case, I was so relieved that I could explain the situation first hand.

I got a call today and I was told that after evaluating my case my file has been reopened and they have mailed an offical notice regarding the same and I should get it in a few days. *Fingers crossed until I get this notice in hand ;)*
The IV core was extremely sensitive to my situation and were very responsive and extremly helpful. I cant thank Immigration Voice enough for helping me resolve this issue in a quick manner.

I have registered to be a recurring contributing member and I intend to be an active member of this group.


My lessons from this crazy experience are:
- Never trust your attorney, always ask for a copy of any letter/document they send to USCIS on your behalf
- There is no organization besides IV out there that is looking out for the interests of the Immigrant Community.
- We need to strengthen IV in all ways we can, we need to be active.
- And as so many members have already said "We are IV." If we want things to be better "WE" need to do something about it.

I urge members who are still contemplating becoming active members to evaluate their options and to become active and contributing members of IV.

- Peace

Great job IV :)... keep up the good work!

Eb3 will definitely retrogress by about 2 years. Maybe back to June 2002 or 2003.
