I got 2nd FP notice (first one was done in Aug 2007). I was not expecting this as my PD is oct 15 2001, EB3, Mera Bharat Mahan(India), off by 3 days with the current and next bulletin.
Its code 1, so only finger prints.
What is the logic behind FP for every 15 months??

Hey Guys,
When applying for CP the consulate we can apply to...does it have to be only the one in your home country (American Embassy in Chennai) or can it be the one in the country of last residence.
I have studied and lived in Canada for 3 years before coming to US. I am wondering if i can choose American Embassy in Montreal as my consulate post (country of last residence) or is my option just the consulate post in country of birth
Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated!!!

Which service center processed your I-140 ? For Eb2 cases, USCIS ( especially NSC) doesn't accept a combination of degree and experience. They require a single 4 year degree.
You should not completely give up on this. Get a good lawyer, a good education evaluator and try to save the case.
I140 was approved by NSC

Looks like 25% of those still waiting are in 2005 - this blows away the earlier predictions that the dates will advance quickly through 2005 - looks like pre perm cases are considerable! I was hoping that it would reach my PD atleast in Sep 2010, but now, it looks only 50-50 chance (dont ask me how i arrived at the 50-50 number, just pulled some numbers from the air :) )!

Well said.. we, who have not yet made up our minds, have no excuse NOT to support IV.
Right now, there are several things we all can do:
1) write to congressman/woman
2) meet congressman/woman
3) Join Team IV fitness/fund raising group
4) Contribute in the current funding drive
5) Become active and then tell your friends to do the same.
Why are we discussing this subject when it will do nothing to take us closer to getting the GC? In almost each social event, I have heard this subject being talked by my fellow friends. But discussing it on IV forum does not serve much purpose.
To me, it seems in the conversations about this subject (not just this thread, even in social events), each person is trying to find a group of people that agree to his or her thoughts. That makes the group then feel better. But what do we all do the next day, pray that we get the GC fast. People who want to really go back to their country do not take much part in these discussions. They just pack up and go.
If we are spending any time on IV, it should be focussed on our effort to get the GC. Or to help someone of us facing an immigration related issue.

Can somebody answer this question of mine please.
If you are efiling it will automatically assign you the service center that you should be filing to. Better shoot for that to avoid any issues.

You mean to say sell US real estate for GC/citizenship? I don't see this going very far. I can see anti immigrants waiting for this one. Best is to lobby using aides of big corporations, developing relationship with lobbyists who already have connections, hiring lawyers, developing strong case, donations in election campaigns etc. All of this needs loads and loads of money. Are we ready to donate to IV and build strong lobbying group for our cause? That is the only way to change our current situation.
Sending flowers, sending pizzas, sending all these proposals will only fall on deaf years. Congress understands language of money to pass laws, Rest of the country/orgranizations understand language of laws/court.

The best thing about PA is through online.
Visit the below link
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/driverLicensePhotoIDCenter/renewNonCommercials.shtml
and click on renew online. Here you have to enter your details and pay through credit card. You will receive the confirmation letter (DL60A/DL60R) through regular mail with in 10 days. Take the letter and go to the DMV for photograph.
The photograph folks don't ask any immigration documents, just the SSN original card. That's it.
I'm in the same boat. PA DoT wants to see visa stamp on the passport.. applied for 1st 3 year extn at VSC on 7/10, will up it to PP this week... anyone in PA got their DL renewed using RN... please specify how and where??

From reading all the testimonies , I didnot see any argument of unfairness to employment based immigrants.
Senate was interested in hearing the plight of a gay american citizen who could not live with his gay partner because his student visa was refused on reentry from Brazil and this gentleman couldnot sponsor him as a family member because the immigration act doesnt recognize gay partners as family members.
I suppose being a gay is going to be a much faster way to becoming a legal permanet resident rather than being a highly skilled indian immigrant.

I'd like to be able to say that those of us on H1B visas are doing the US a favor so we should get rewarded better for it, but I will be honest here and admit that I did not take up a job in US to be a good samaritan to Americans. I would be surprised if there were any H1B holders who moved to US just to do the states a favor.
No, in fact I like many others moved to USA because I got an opportunity to advance my career and at the same time I am young and open to experience life in America and other parts of the world. To top that I love my company.
Sure, I am helping my company and doing work that will touch the lives of millions of people. I pay my taxes. I pay my health insurance. I pay salaries to healthcare practitioners as I and my family needs their services. I pay rent. I shop. I keep money at my bank. You know, if you consider all that I must be a pretty good American resident. Smooth.
Sadly there are some things that are not so smooth. My wife, who is a graduate from a US college and a qualified teacher with over 5 years of teaching experience in her home country, has no right to work here. I hear you say, US needs teachers doesn't it? She could get her own H1B visa.
Life is not so black and white. It is difficult for her to find a compatible job in our area with an employer who could and would sponsor someone for H1B. She is chained by this. There are a myriad of teaching jobs in our area that she could fill right now if she had work authorisation.
That is the #1 reason why I am now seeking a GC. If my wife could work there would honestly be no reason for us to want a GC except maybe when we reach the end of H1B time limit if we decide to stay here longer or permanently.
We're legal, educated, and do things by the book. I'm from UK, my wife from Japan. That means just about every major country of this world is open to us (All EU, Japan and friendly countries like Canada and Astralia).
We'd like to make US our home if we are welcome. Lawmakers, hear our cries.
Could we have a poll for how many IV members are married and how many of those both got H1Bs? My feeling is that there is a very large number of H4 spouses suffering from not having work authorisation.

This whole discussion is really silly... I'm glad IV leadership is not self centered, atleast from what i see they think about the community on the whole.
Lets put all these fruitless arguments to rest... the ROW vs India/China, Nurses vs Others, EB1 vs EB2 vs EB3!
I'm EB3 India and I have no one to blame but me for being in EB3 (I'm certainly qualified to be in EB2 but I chose to stick around with the same company for the very reason we all are here on this forum... i.e GC)
For those who think its unfair... rather then sulking about it... do something and move to EB2 if you cant wait any longer... or at least support IV in their efforts.
Well Said! Being someone else stuck in EB3India despite having a US masters, I have come to the same conclusion, and after July Fiasco, was convinced that IV is indeed the only organization that is doing something for us. I have supported IV in whatever I could since then.
Guys, I do believe IV is the only fighting chance we have, debating on this forum and demanding "justice" or whatever from USCIS is not going to get us anything.

Many here are 'strongly against' those 'horrible' desi or whatever companies after getting an h1b through them. As we know most of the software consultants are here only because those companies could utlize the loopholes in the system. (We all know that this labor certification and such things are nonsense!). It is great to fight for 'legal' things but when you see those who misusd it themselves are 'fighting' for it, makes people feel so funny! We all know that what we all need is GC, whatever be the way, and whatever happens to 'others'. It is legitimate and understandable to fight for 'our cause', otherwise who will fight for us?
[According to me nothing is 'wrong' to be here using any method even being an 'illegal immigant', but fortunately I am here in USA 'legally' and not using 'desi' or such companies]

US economy is designed this way, everyone will get their own share. No one bothers about optimizing the chain and reducing the cost. If they do that whole economy will collapse. If people started sticking to one marriage and stop taking the divorces, these lawyers will not have work and that portion of economy will collapse. If you have time please watch this video

I saw that Logiclife mentioned that the head will be from michigan. I am from michigan and a lot of my buddies also visit this site regularly. Let us know if we can make a difference. Please let us know what can we do to help our cause here. I am ready to drive, meet, talk to any one I can to push things here. I dont know how much of an impact that would be, but even a little can help.
thanks
Please pm me with any suggestions or ideas.
Hey start a local chapter of IV in MI such that other volunteers in future also can join and work from under the same umbrella.

Yesterday, I was told by the client that my project is going to end by this month end i.e Apr 30. Actually it was supposed to go for the next 2 years. I am currently in the project working for the project. They said the lay off was becoz of budget issues. But I see I am the only one that is target in this lay-off. I am working with the same client for the past 3 years. The lay off news was really shocking and devastating.
I am currently 9 months pregnant. As the client did that to me, I thought that atleast I might have some options with my current employer. My employer is a desi consultancy. I never been on Bench for single day for the Past 6 years ( Day 1 that I entered into US to till now).
When I spoke to my employer today he gave me a termination letter stating that my project end date will be my last date with them. It was more shocking. I will be on maternity leave anytime in month of may depending on the delivery. I don't see any possible options that any client can take me into project when I am in 9th month of pregnancy.
As my husband is doing consulting, I filed the green card thru this employer, 485 is pending more than 180 days, 140 approved in EB2 category. We paid all the attorney fees and filing fees from our pocket. We spent nearly $10,000 for the GC process. My husband was on bench for the past 2 months. He got a job on EAD which is going to start next week.
1. I see that my employer is terminating me immediately because he can avoid maternity expenses. I told him that I will take 3 months FMLA for unpaid maternity leave from Apr 30th. And look for the Job immediately after delivery and get into the Job. But still he is telling he won't provide me that time. Maintaining the status is very important for me as me and my husband depends on the EAD.
2.My medical insurance is with my employer, If I get laid off in this critical situation, I won't be having insurance. We can't afford the delivery expenses without insurance.
3. Even though my husband will get insurance with the new company, We are not sure that company will cover the pre-existing pregnancy that is in final stages.
4. And also not sure that the insurance will be under the network of OBG/YN and the hospital I registered for delivery. His job is in different state but he will find out the options once he starts his job next week.
5. Does anyone think that my employer is discriminating the law? He is terminating me immediately becoz I am pregnant.
I am not sure whether he is doing the right thing but the situation I am in is the worst situation I ever expected of. Its lot of stress on me and my baby. We are unable to sleep for hour with all the tensions ahead. My husband's job is dependent on my valid status. If something screw up we both be in very bad situation. I really don't want any one in my situation.
Please help me, if any one know any options where I can maintain my status during the pregnancy and maternity leave, Please tell me.
Given that you got your 140 approved and applied for 485 and it is more than 180 days, you are in relatively safe situation.
Rememeber GC is for future employment, as soon as the dust settles..you need to find a job!
