People do not buy house to sell it. They buy it so that they can live for a long time. And when you do not know how long you are going to stay in this country(because of immigration issues) then why would they buy. There is something called closing cost, who will pay them if you have to sell?
Yes Sir, very true: "People do not buy house to sell it". I am not suggesting that you buy a house and sell it, I am suggesting that in case you plan on buying the house .. don't get intimidated by the bad immigration experience of few folks. My point is that in worst case scenario, if you have to go back to India (which is less than 1% chance), there are ways to deal with house situation.

do you remember the case of the girl who came to the US as 1 year old and is now some 27 years old and still on H4?
She knows no other place than the US and can be kicked out anytime the husband goes out of status.
Think of her.

Congrats on getting your green card. Your post and attitude is the exact reason why DOL has made it almost impossible to get EB2 certification especially in the software field and why people despice consultants like you and your desi employer.
You said in your post "Appiled for EB3 labor in jan 2004, even though i am qualified for EB2" dear sir its not your qualification that determines whether you get to file in eb2 or not but it is what the job requirements are that determine whether it is eb2 or eb3.
Another line from your post "After realizing that the dates will never become current for EB3, my desi employer files for EB2 labor" this and the previous line clearly show that you and your desi employer have no respect for the law. It is because of blatant abuse like this that DOL is cracking down on eb2 filings. Now thanks to people like you and your desi employer who have abused the law now even eb2 india might never become current because tons of people have already ported and spillover to eb2 is not happenning anymore like previous years. People have realized even eb2 india is never going to move beyond 2003 so "consultants" like you and desi companies have moved on to abusing eb1. Seems like you are proud of your achievement just like the L1 folks from desi companies who brag about getting green card in less than an year by abusing L1.
To all the people who think they can pull a trick like mr salawrene by filing in eb2 again hard luck there are 120000 485 applications from India with USCIS with eb3 and eb2 having about 60000 each, because of abuse in Eb1 no more spillover of visa numbers to eb2 india wil occur so eb2 india will not move forward, on top of it dol is cracking down on eb2 filings. eb2 India might start moving backward to 2003 or 2002 and will remain stagnant like eb3 because no visa spillover is happenning.
because of desi consultants and desi employers abusing the system the whole EB community is suffering, high time we respected the law and stop this practise. for speaking the bitter reality if eb2 and eb1 abusers, consultants, desi employers want to give me a red go ahead and do it, but ask yourself have I said anything which is incorrect
I recived my I485 approval on May 30th after 10 years coming into this country.
I just want to mention my GC journey here, hopefully this will help atleast some of the members in making decisions in their process. Appiled for EB3 labor in jan 2004, even though i am qualified for EB2. Applied for I140 after the EB3 labor approval and received I140 approval. After realizing that the dates will never become current for EB3, my desi employer files for EB2 labor. Applied for I485 based on EB3 labor during the July Fiasco from the desi employer. After 180 days, took the permanent job with the client with base salary of almost 100% increase ( with bonus it might be around 150% ) and with manegerial duties. Mean while my EB2 labor from desi employer gets approved, so my desi employer files I140 for EB2 labor that gets approved with old priority date of Jan 2004 and I485 becomes current. Recevied RFE on my I485 for Employment Verification Letter. I took the EVL from both the current employer and the desi employer ( for future employment ) and written an affidavit saying that, i have the intent to join the desi employer once i recive my GC because he is such great employer, to keep the validity of I140 based on EB2 from desi employer. After one month of my RFE responce, i received my 485 Approval.
So You can always take promotions with more responsibilities using AC21, as long as you are in the same occupation, % of increase in salary doesn't matter. I have clearly mentioned my salary number in the EVL that shows huge difference.
My EVL clearly mentions that my current job duties includes more responsibilities and manegerial duties.
I read one big court case document involving 485 process by Rajesh khanna that the main important thing that USCIS looks for during 485 approval is inadmissability means no status issues. So as long as you are in the same occupation, you should be fine.
I had problems with my H1 and had to work around 150 days without H1B Approval after my I94 expiration, this was taken care of by 245K because of my travel to india with another H1.

Do not forget that the nurses / ph Therapist category swallows bunch of or all of EB3 visa numbers. This category is always current and they can make this EB3 to get stuck in April 22'01 for years.
Unfortunately most of the nurses also come from India I beleive. Some come south africa and phillipines. Do we have any data on this anywhere?
if 110,786 cases are due to retro...
then these cases are either (2nd China/India, 3rd, and other workers)??
considering 140,000 visa numbers available, and other catagories being current, only portions these retro cases will get visa numbers by this year..
no hope for PD advancement???

I only have something to say, everyone is looking for its own turf, and if you really want diversity in the forum, the hard count will not attract anyone else other than Indians and Chinese. I am few months from working due to EB2- Worlwide category (current), so any change on the hard count is not on my benefit, same for anyone who is not from India or China, the EB3 is not current worlwide but the line of all the other countries is still shorter, if you really want to reach more than Indians and Chinese the goal has to be good for everyone, and the hard count is not. Thanks.
Latest update: Latina explained that the hard count doesn't affect the place in the line for the Worlwide category, it just affects the unused numbers and that this will go to other skilled workers from no worldwide categories other than to not skilled people, I am all for that, I just do not want to have to wait any longer and if Latina was correct my assumptions were mistaken.

Watzgc,
Did your employer get a new LCA for the CA project when you changed projects? ... just one more thing to check before you send in the RFE response with new contract.

possible reason for mysterious rejections :
You are a mail room guy, you go home friday (06/29) and comeback on monday (06/02).
You start the monkey business of timestamping incoming mail, but half an hours into the day (around 8 or 9:00 am), you realize "sshhttt: i did not change the date on my stamp, its still read 06-29-2007". In the classical govt. fashion, you do not bother to go back and restamp the applications with the correct datetime. Not because you are evil, but because you simply don't understand the ramifications of early stamping. You think u are doing the guy a favor, putting him/her early in line.. but guess what... the guy's application is gonna get rejected.
Could this be the case with some apps mysteriously being rejected?
WAAV GREAT LOGIC!!!! HOW COME I CANT THINK THIS WAY TO SOLVE THIS MISTERY. WAAV GENIUS IS HERE. YOU THE MAN. MAN U R VERY SMART. THATS IT. THATS HOW IT HAPPENED. UR IQ MUST BE VERY HIGH. :mad:

the guy who used AC21 got his GC and rightfully so since he left after 6 months.
Our friend was the one who got the labor sold by his desi employer leech..to him
its good atleast that Ac21 works and it should..now with substitution banned the new AC21s will be protected..as long as they didn't substitute..
Finally labor substitution was a bad choice! thats the moral of the story..
I think this is a clear and good example of AC21 working.

Did you mean for EB3 ROW? One year? I am not so sure. Couple of months maybe... Oh i wasn't being specific if ROW or India or china... just threw a year in there, since 47K seems like a lot of approvals at one go.
Some one pointed out in another thread, that the USCIS FAQ mentioned that only a 'subset' of the potential 47k cases have namecheck pending for more than 180 days. So may be not all of the 47k cases (even those with current PDs) may be eligible to qualify under 180 day FBI namecheck auto approval rule. Thus not all 47k cases will be approved by the mid March deadline that USCIS mentioned.
yeah i read that aswell... as usual even that little light that sometimes seems to shine... all of a sudden seems quite dim.
FYI USCIS retracted the FAQ posted on the 19th, so we will have to wait and see if it's gonna be any good news on this subject.

I think the contributions are only from those who visit this forum regularly on a day to day basis. I think there are just many people who might have just registered to get some updates but don't necessarily visit this or any other forum regularly.
A lot of people I know get their updates from the web site of one of the law firms, but don't necessarily participate in this or any other forum. Otherwise, they just carry on with their lives hoping some law will pass some day.
Some of those to whom I have talked about contributing to IV have politely said they will take a look at it. Otherwise, I feel they have just been institutionalized in their current setup and lives. I don't think the message has really reached them that there is a need to participate and contribute in a organization like IV and try and make a difference.

My colleague filed 140&485 in August. Her case was sent to TSC. So far her 131, 765, and 140 approved. Also, she has done her FP. What a different! I was wondering what's the purpose of "bi-specilization"??

And did you also hand submitted $19 demand draft for the difference in new and old fee (assuming you filed $131 visa fee before June 4th)?
If yes, then were there any concerns regarding that? Please share.
The company I work for in USA has a India Office.
That office paid the exact NEW fees through HDFC.
They then couriered the HDFC receipts to my home in India.
I arrived in my city.
Went to VFS office, submitted the required doc's.
They created the courier package which is used to send the passport back.
After few days I went to the US consulate as per my scheduled appointment.
I use the VFS lounge service which helps because I had luggage etc.
It was quite a smooth process in Mumbai, except that it took 2 hours of waiting.
My 9:30 appt actually happened at 11:45.....
But yes, there were many many people who had demand draft's in their hand, either of full fees or the difference.....

However this smacks of unfairness as well. See this comment on Greg Siskind's blog (http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/2007/07/service-centers.html#comments) in response to the news about TSC holding the applications while NSC's been retirning them and some July 02 packages have been returned as well.
Greg,
Where did you get this news? If they partially returned some cases received on July 02, it is very very very unfair for those got returned. They were the first getting in the line and now they have to wait at the end of the line??? If USCIS is going to treat the returned cases that way, they will face more lawsuits to come. If they are to hold later on cases, they have have have to allow the returned cases to be sent back and put in front of the line, with delivery notice as the proof of getting sent back.
This is very annoying notice indeed.
