This thread is getting lost.. Lets keep this thread on top.
When you send this message please make sure you put your complete name, address, email and phone number at the bottom.. If you don't how come somebody can get in touch with us...
I agree. This is one of the easiest things we can do right now. Yes, I mentioned by name, address (along with apartment number), phone number. I did not mention my email address, as it is visible in the "from" field of the email.
However, I was thinking about this approach later. I thought it would be MUCH more effective if we could get others to write to the media/ congressmen/ senators etc... including people who already have GCs and citizenships. The more people convey their resentment to this DOS/ USCIS decision, the more effective it is.
Also, we should preferably also write letters... not just emails.
Emails is a somewhat frowned upon medium, as it is easy to abuse. Also, it is easier to simply delete an email thinking of it as spam... that is, if the email is not already blocked/classified as "spam" by the recepient's email software. (e.g. My yahoo mailbox gets tens of spam emails everyday and they are moved automatically to the spam folder.) On the other hand, it is not equally easy to ignore 1000 "letters" on the subject (preferably signed personally, but even otherwise).
But how can we get others to write letters for us?
Obviously no one will do that... but what if, I "write up" an appeal into a word doc, and email it to my friends, relatives, and colleagues in the USA who are either in the same boat (but not part of IV), or already hold GCs, or are citizens. I would explain our situation very briefly in the email... maybe with 5 bullet points. I would request that if they think what happened is wrong, the they may please write their full name & address + phone num in the space provided in the word doc, and send the document back to me by email. I print these documents and package them up and "post" (snail mail) them to the congressmen/senators and the media.
I am not suggesting I would stop writing "emails to media contacts" (or calling up/ meeting our senators). This will be in addition to that effort.
Let me know if you guys think this approach is useful... and please... if you disagree... just take it easy... don't blast me for just sharing my thoughts.
Thanks!

Don't mistake what I'm saying. No question the day will come. Just talking about today and the very near future. Today we have to transmit via phone lines at most all venues. The servers at the bureaus and the newspapers have capacity and time constraints as well. Reviewing, editing, captioning and transmitting 3-4 images in 15-20 minutes is a rat race now. On the other end, photo editors are on time constraints as well. There was nothing shortsighted in what I said. I said 4 mp is needed now for that kind of work, and that's why it's there. Down the road things will change. But we're not down the road yet.
I don't doubt what you say on iota and I've heard stories from the Day in the life of africa talking about the abilities of digital. But I also know the ability of this world to adapt and grow. Today people ay complain about file size but who knows tomorrow. And what about when thos same PJ's want that image for other form factors than may require greater resolution? It's an evolving world and its pretty short sided to believe that a certain file size is all that will be used.

From what i know, if you have an Indian Passport and a US Green card, the only countries you can travel to without any visitor/tourist visa requirements are India, USA, Canada, Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Mexico (Thanks to Sunny1000 for confirmation of Mexico and Dominican Republic)
Are there any other countries I can go to which don't require a Visa or will grant a visa on arrival?
Thanks.
Thanks for this useful information. But does visa non requirement is valid only when departing country is USA or this would remain correct for traveling from any international destination to above countries.
Thanks again..

Here is my guess on who will be in Conference from Senate side.
Sen.Specter, Sen.Cornyn, Sen.Kyl, Sen.Sessions, Sen.Brownback, Sen.Graham, Sen.Grassley, Sen.Kennedy, Sen.Durbin, Sen.Feinstein, Sen.Leahy, Sen.Feingold
---
See below for Frist's ( Rep. Senate leader) comment:
Frist said the Senate will send 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats to negotiate with the House, with seven of the Republicans and five Democrats coming from the Judiciary Committee. The remaining seven Republicans will be chosen by Frist and remaining seven Democrats chosen by Reid.
At least one oppoenent of the compromise measure, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, will be among the remaining seven Republicans appointed to the committee, spokesman Don Stewart said.

This is something that's doable without legislation. It would be done for employment based visas.
I've been reading the posts all day since yesterday. The most plausible "PERMANENT SOLUTION" has to be this. Please read the msg from IV
1. No change in July bulletin
2. No change in August bulletin
3. Well in that case it has to be this. It would be least controversial.
This however would be a good solution for the over-subscribed countries, and bad news for the other countries...

She should have tried through the emergency quota/appoinment to get her stamping.. Death in immediate family is a accepted for this and I know a colleague you had to go for India for the very same reason, death in the family and returned back after getting his stamping. Got his appointment through EQ. If you fear to get stamped in India, then you can blame the appointment to be 4 months away, etc.. etc...
The article posted is touching, but out lives are not that bad .. We are far more better and we do have a good life.
I do not think one would not go to India just because he/she is scared to get a stamp in India. The loss of someone dear to you can overcome any such fears one might have (for me atleast thats applicable).
In any case, I did not know (neither did my collegaue) of the emergency quota. Thanks for sharing that with us and thanks to forums like these, every day is a learning experience.

Friends I think a great injustice is being done to NSC filers , their applications are taking months for ead and ap, while TSC filers are getting ead adn AP as soon as they get receipt, do you think this will improve for NSC in future, at this time looks like august NSC filers will haveto wait till the end of the year for EAD,ap, which is sad.
Cant beleive you said that ! Just think how it feels to be waiting for receipt notices, knowing people who filed in late June are still getting them (and only a couple of July 2nd filers so far)and also knowing that if something is wrong with ur application, its going to take years before you can apply again....and compare it to the additional 2 months u r going to wait for ur EAD/AP
Thanks

The second bill (HR 5634) says that people with PhD from US universities are cap-exempt from EB. So it means some quota will be freed up from EB1 and also from Eb2-NIW.
Read all the bills. I guess you are bummer !!!!

I don't know much about Labor Subs to answer...what I did notice is that your lawyer is through company...not going to generalize, but with company lawyers you really should question them and not believe totally what they say....meaning do your own research too. Company lawyer's are interested in keeping employees longer at company and can sometimes push you to do things to cause that. I don't know why you can't have 2 I 140's. But withdrawing your first one would invalidate your 485/ead and depending on your priority date (which would be 2007/2008) and country of birth, you may not have a chance to apply for 485 for a long long time (meaning stuck in same job for long long time...). Again I don't know much about labor subs, my advice is to do your own reasearch, get answers, opinions, and not just take company's lawyers word on everything.

Most probably Reid would bring back CIRcus back on senate floor on May 25 .... :mad:
Remeber that if Reid decides for cloture first and after that amendment then very high chances of passing this bill in senate because Cloture needs 60 votes but passing a bill needs simple majority i.e. 51 votes ...
Core, what is our action plan, support any single amendment and by doing that support entire bill or oppose entire CIRcus?

I received an RFE too in Nov 1st week. It was about the evaluation. (It was submitted earlier but still) Lawyer mailed them the required document and now the status has changed to "We received your response to the request on Nov 14th and the case processing has resumed".
How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)
lookin at the approvals i think it will take anywhere from 1-3 months

Your employer cannot revoke approved I-140 after 180 days of filing of I-485. AC21 portability law clearly says that. Your employer is playing with the lifes of employees. He cannot win any case in this situation. You better look for another employer and move ASAP. Also, you cannot keep PD as it is somebody else's PD. Eventhough you/your can try appealing with no chances of winning, but you/your employer is trying to spoil the life another person who got GC.
All,
My employer revoked the i140 of a person after 180 days. He did not reveal this information to me and used labor substitution for me.
The other person used AC21 and got his 485 approved. INS has denied my I140 since a 485 has already been approved and there can be only one GC on one labor. INS says that once the 485 is approved that job ceases to exist.
My company is saying that they have done this in the past and got approvals. They are saying that they applied the I140 substitution long before the 485 approval of the other person.
Now they are saying that they will appeal that the other guy never had the intention of working for the comapany.
Is there any chance for the I140 approval and using the existing labor ? If not will the INS help me keep the Priority Date.
Does anyone have knowledge of such cases (or) know the results of such appeals.
Thanks !

What you are advising her/him to do is lie to USCIS that he/she is sick when she is not. This is on the same lines as doing what those guys behind bars did, brining people on H-1B from India to the US without actually having a job for them.
Again, its people like you that is giving genuine legal immigrants a bad name, and putting us all (including yourself) in the LONG immigration queue!
I see that you have written letters and participated in other campaigns. None of those will materialize if you're teaching others to missuse the H-1B system. How hard is it for you to understand that these are the kinds of loopholes because of which we are stuck with no visa numbers?
Get a letter from your employer saying they are granting you a personal unpaid vacation as per your request(which can be done using a pre-dated letter to them). Make sure you are getting your medical coverage from them(if you have it through them). Provide that and an explanation that you are taking personal time off due to health etc/stress. Hopefully that flies with the USCIS.
good luck

Optimist, thanks for the clarification. Do you get a 3 year extention if?
a) I140 is aproved
b) I140 filed but pending
Thx
To get a 3 year extension:
* I-140 needs to be approved, AND
* your PD in the current months VB needs to be retrogressed.
If I-140 is still pending, either it needs to be pending >365 days, or your LC itself should have been filed >365 days ago.

I believe USCIS is trying to comlete the receipting job from all the Service centres.
so you wont be sruprised if folks started reporting their receipt numbers start with EAC (for Vermont).
Let USCIS do their job of receipting everyone who filed in July-Aug 2007.
Ultimately processing will be done at USCIS NSC and TSC for I-140 and I-485 due to their bi-specialization program.
So no worry be happy...Support IV

These are just guidelines from a law firm. Most of the law firms were making money in porting cases for last two years, as number of new applicants were less due to economy. That does not mean that USCIS is going to approve these cases based on number of years of education. Porting within a company is a risky deal. Even though lawers dont make it sound like a big deal, for getting new clients. The old eb3 job that was used to file the first labor needs to be filled. If you are working with a desi bodyshop, be careful. You are inviting an audit.
This does not appear to be just guidelines from a Law Firm. Read the first line --- it says "According to the AILA-NSC Liaison minutes of 04/12/2007"
The questions regarding same/different company is not relevant to this thread.

Should there not be a separate Green card quota for anyone with a USA Masters Degree in any field?
If USA does that, more people will pay to come to study in USA. Not go to Australia, UK etc to study. So more money to USA. And USA degree holders will be able to use this education and work in USA to improve USA economy. If they go back to their countries, then USA has brain drain.
If they have separate quota for H1, separate H1B quota for Masters Degrees, what is wrong to have one for Green Card?
Please support on this thread if you agree.
My support for those with PhD but not for MS at this point.
