Truly a tragic incident. There is no excuse, what so ever, to take someones life and to commit suicide. No matter what the hardship, it has to be faced and move forward. Indians are too emotional and take it so personal and worry more about what others think.

Ok I think we are reaching new heights of RIDICULOUS here. An IV member has asked a SIMPLE question about whether or not an Indian citizen needs a visa for the Bahamas.
Who the heck do we think we are to ask him/her to NOT go on that cruise and instead donate to IV?? People i know that we need to raise money and quickly, but this is really not the way to go about it. Everyone needs a vacation to recharge their batteries and spend quality time with their families. The GC is a "MEANS to the END", NOT "The END". Going by this logic, lets not do anything for the next 2-3 years. Lets not buy houses, cars, furniture etc. Lets instead contribute to IV. Besides what is to say that this person has not contributed to IV already?

Mostly what is you said I feel is correct...though the analysis that a specific service center is slow or fast might not. These opinions are practically like a pendulum! That said if you look at recent data on EB2-I approvals you would see there are more approvals at NSC.
Secondy, even if there are more applications submitted to a NSC or TSC (after the geographic distribution of I-485 filing since Jul 30, 2007). USCIS always redistributes them among the centers to even out the workload depending on the capacity of each center.
this is mainly due to July VISA Bulletin fiasco and thousands were allowed to apply for their I-485, due to USCIS/DOL July 2007 VB.
one moe reason lots of Citizenship petitions were also filed in July 2007 to take advantage of old fees structure.
All countries of chargeability and employment categories were made current, since Dol was frustrated with USCIS's slow processing rate for I-485 and had Dol not made the VB current USCIS would have wasted few thousand VISA numbers as usual.
Silverlining is that we were all given freedom of using EAD and get new jobs or promotions using the AC-21 provisions...but the long term side effect is the slow moment we are seeing for the processing dates.
NSC is slow since lots of high tech H1-B employers are from CA and WA states and they applied truck load of I-485 versus the folks in Texas Service centre.
We are all hoping that once USCIS is out of this naturalization processing pressure before the elections, they would start processing the July-aug 2007 I-485 petitions.

I would like to thank all the members for their responses.
I am at least (I think) safe, cause I have approved I-140, EAD and I-485 pending and crossed the 6 months waiting milestone. I am still on H1 with that company. They recently merged (or bought by) the other company....from that time on that new company started sending all these documents to sign....which my old company never asked me to do so.
However, I feel sorry for those who are new and primarily in H1B with the company. They don't have much of a choice, I guess.
Thank you pappu, senk1s, jthomas, sunilbhai, snathan and kshitijnt for your valuable comments.
Thanks,
RC :)

I did not understand the "time of filing I-485 (that means that visa is immediately available) minus time that I-140 was pending with USCIS" part.
My situation is as follows - My I-140 is approved and judging by the current situation my child will be above 21years (currently on H4) when visa becomes available.
My questions are - Will I be able to extend my child's H4 beyond his 21 years, assuming I continue on H1? And will I be able to adjust my child's status when visa becomes available?
Thanks
I have similar situation - I applied for 140 in July 2006. My daughter will turn 21 in July 2007. As I have applied for 140 before she turns 21, she is safe for GC, but will loose H4 status when she turns 21. As per my lawyer's advice I have applied for her F1 so that she can stay and continue her studies in US. When I become eligible to apply for 485, she can be included in the application - but, not as a dependent of H1B holder.

Hi Guys,
Could any of you let me know the impact of multiple job changes on AC21, with approved I-140 and after 180 days of I-485 receipt, and with similar job code and description. I changed first on January 25 and now it will be 3 months after the first change. I have following concerns and seek your opinions soon for the decision.
1- Will this quick change be a concern even though I will have same/similar job code as per O*NET and job description and there is no law against it?
2- Should I have, in addition to H1B transfer, another Labor certification started with new employer as a back up?
Thanks guys in advance!

UN,
I have strong belief on your postings. Don’t know about Berkleybee…
I am from India EB3. I strongly believe that we can change this system, after all it is human made, outdated and obviously not suitable for current scenario.
So realistically what we can do about this, if so what would be the approach.
I am relatively new to the forum and what have posted and debated by UN (Iimmigration poratl also), make sense and i believe we should not be watching visa bulletin so eagarly , contrary we should be watching what is happening the reform front.

Never go directly to a bank for your mortgage. Let the lenders fight for your money! Plus mortgage companies will combine a few loans together, present to the bank and get a overall lower (group) rate.

True, Savage is not for us. He is unpredictable as someone mentioned above. Today, he was quoting from an article which mentioned about immigrationvoice. He was reading the plight of some Mahesh ... . He said to go to home country. All H1B's came on a big lie. Oracle who is lobbying for H1and Mr Gates are all greedy etc. He was going on and on.
First, ask HIM to go back where he came from in 1939-1945 during Nazi regime. This land is not owned by anybody, this is a LAND OF IMMIGRANTS. No one is native anyway, so what the heck !!

After Enron collapsed the auditing firm also went down for shredding the docs ... I bet PWC's shredding machines are working overtime right now.
I would bet that Satyam would be barred/ delisted shortly from nasdaq. SEC will surely take some action.
In a publicly traded company, it is almost impossible for one individual to siphon money.
I guess what might have happened here is, Satyam might have faced falling revenues year-on-year. In a sector, where each competitor is reporting 40% profits, to keep upto the performance of sector, they might have been pressured to falsify their revenues.
Now what i am unable to understand is, how come an esteemed audit org like PWC could cover up or fail to findout discrepancies. Either the auditors were stupid and overlooked, or Mr Ramalinga Raju covered up the tracks very well.
In the end it all hurts the stock holders and the employees. This one is going to go down big time in our history, and i bet its going to change the landscape of our IT services sector.

My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?
People here have related change of address to RFE but I personally do not blv. it happens as I changed address 3 times and nuthing adverse happened.
Wait for the RFE. It could be something minor. Since you are eb1 they might need something related to your job/experience. Each RFE is different and no one can predict what it could be. I have seen that 80-90% RFE can be replied easily so dont worry. Post again when you have information on what USCIS is asking for and I am sure that somone out here will be able to help you out.
Good Luck.

By no means we shall find ourselves supporting what is against public opinion in our host country, which is now America. .....The lack of sympathy for immigration is in the air.
Dear 'TheOmbundsman' ,
Majority of Americans are not aware of the plight of Legal High tech workers who contribute to the economy and success of US and are struggling to get the GC.
The people unwittingly club everybody with 'Illegal Immigrants'
I agree with you that there is anti-immigrant feeling among people.
We need to create awareness among those who matter most.
Thats how we stand any chance.
I think this thread can be closed now as it is going in totally wrong direction.

First of all articulate your questions and concerns. That gives any one with an insight to try to help you. Not using the SMS language should help too :) because you may not be conveying clearly what you intended to.
Where are you located now ? Your home country or USA ?
Did you see your Visa papers at all ? What visa do you have ?
Did you go to school in USA ?
Did you get ANY visa stamping on your passport ?
