I am not answerable to an anonymous "internet toughie" who picks up fights on forums. it's evident that your understanding of the tonality in a professional response vis a vis a personal one is impaired albeit imponderable.

I shall not waste my time "coaching" the same.

[B]"then we all know who the real immature person is"

After your fiasco with Kumar, doesn't this whole forum apart from a few thousand scandalized visitors know who really enthrones "immaturity" here?

With this i end my diatribe with you mr internet toughie aka sledgehammer. lol

Voting multiple times is not allowed, so this is going to be hard to track.
eg. If I vote right now that i have contacted congressman, I won't be able to come back and change my vote when the congressman sends the letter out.

Why doesn't someone introduce Lou to Mike Moore? :D

As a follow up, got a faxed copy of the "Receipt Notice" for self and spouse from lawyer for I-485. The Receipt Notice's receipt date is as expected Jul 23rd.

So as members correctly stated that Receipt Notice's date is what matters.

:blush:

To all the sufferers, please pursue your case with vigor at every opportunity.

I am glad to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I saw a welcome e-mail from USCIS today in the morning. Took 6 years to get the GC with a total stay of 10 years.

Congrats!! pal..

Jaihind...thats really unethical. Its sad to hear such experiences.
Although I cant help you...I really wish you good luck.

For December 2009 visa bulletin - Please call Ajmeri Baba at +44-91-29-2434343434

Hey! Maybe instead of donating to IV, we could pool some money and get Baba's prediction on Visa movement. I'm sure his prediction would be just as worthwhile/less as Charles Oppenheim's!!!;)

Most of the state colleges, (In my case, none of the state colleges), including under-grad and medical schools, will accept application, if you do not have GC/ US citizenship. I tried, wrote letters, but of no use.
You can apply and get admission in private college, which of course cost much more.
Also, we were not able to take any federal loans.

You may like to talk to the admissions office of the universities. Last year when my daughter was applying for college, we had to go around and talk to them. Took an appointment and explained the case.
We had asked only about admissions, resigned to the idea of paying out-of-state tuition. However, this counsellor got in touch with me, once the admission was confirmed, and suggested that I go to the bursar's office for tuition issues. And, there we got the great news that they had changed the rules in 2007, and that AOS candidates qualified for in-state tuition. Later we were able to get the same benefit for my elder daughter who was a senior in another state college.
Imagine the relief of having to pay in-state after coughing up out-of-state tuition for three years. This happened in Georgia.
So, to cut a long story short, yes you can be treated as in-state students for admission and tuition purposes. It only needs you to do some research and interacting with the offices. And of course, meeting some good persons. Incidentally, most of the counselors are great.

I traveled to India and back via Frankfurt (Lufthansa) last month and did not have any issues. I have an AP which was approved 2 weeks before I traveled to India.

I never saw him talking +ve about legal immgration, he is an anti-immigrant.

Attacking Lou Dobbs will help those who purposefully blur the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. While Dobbs sometimes talks about H1Bs, his main focus is on illegal immigration and he's mostly sympathetic to legal immigration, in my opinion.

Try consulate German Consulate and they will reply quickly.

I understand your situation as i was there once. If you dont have insurance than your options are very limited. if you live in dallas county parkland hospital is your only choice. Parkland has a network of several clinics around DFW area. Every clinic has financial assistance department. You can visit any of those and they will setup a payment plan which is reasonable based on your income. You will visit them for all prenatal care and when the time comes for delivery it will be taken to parkland. and parkland is a very good hospital as well. beside parkland several hospitals also offer cash plans like RHD memorial at 635 but they will charge you close to 4k just for delivery day and if its a normal one. you will have to do prenatal at your own.

thank you Aamir, I will try to explore both these options.

Thank you very much!

Yes, I told so many people the same when they asked me "what to do". And left it upto them.



So I assume you told this to your neighbor who lives downstairs :D

Done. Thanks.

it doesnt mean anything....u will see receipts from yesterday and today also..please see other threads on decoding the lin/src numbers

in the end it depends on when ur application was opened and entered into the system.
can someone point me to a thread discussing decoding LIN #?

Can some attorney help us ? This seems to be a very valid speculation. Indeed I always thought that there is something wrong going on behind the scenes. How can the PD move 7 days in 9 months ? If it moves at this pace only, my turn to file 485 will come in 47 years. ( I will be 87 years old).

And who is India fighting with??
Come on we need to learn to forget the cold war days. This is 21st century and the age of facebook and other social networking platforms. the world is getting more connected and there will soon be no place for fighter planes any more. What we need is "food" and "water".....
Nature is showing us again and again the futility of our ambitions (regional and international) through her rather quite infrequent thrashings these days....
296 people perished this week in terrible tornadoes (worst in last 40 years!!!).....10000 or more a month ago in Japan earthquake (5th worst ever recorded!!!)....

isnt a visa number assigned when they apply for 485?

good point in item 4. When i talk to people from other countries about visa issues and IV they just look at the processing dates for 485 and think that GC will be approved in 6 months.

Please remember that even if BEC clears the application with 2001 priority dates. These people still need to:
1) Apply for I140
2) Have I-140 Approved
3) Apply for I-485 only if their priority date is current
4) Complete various I-485 tasks like fingerprinting, BACKGROUND CHECKS (this is a huge one and unless you are lucky you can get stranded for anywhere between 6 months to 3 years)
5) Now after completing 1 - 4 above you can expect that they will apply a visa number to the application

Guys, stop insulting each other. There is no need to add misery and amnesia on each other. I am sure we will all reach our destiny in the end. Just make the journey courteous and smooth.
