I guess My interview didn't go as expected.
1) I reached the office an hour early.
2) After waiting,they did security check and let us in
3) Then the lady who was assigned my case, came and took us into her room
4) Oath, etc
5) She then started asking for Birth cert, Marriage Cert, kids birth certi, 140 approval copy.
6) Then she pulled a file (which was labelled DOS Visa bulletins) and spent around 15 mins on Oct 2007 bulletin.
7) Then asked us who filed your 485..you did your self or your employer did..we said employer.
8) Then she said, something is not right..per Oct 2007 bulleting Visa's are unavailable so yours was not filed properly.
9) Then I said, ours was filed in Aug 8th 2007. She insisted the receipt date is oct 2007..then we showed her our 485 reciept.
10) Then she thanked us and started looking at Aug 2007 visa bulletin. and said, even then in Aug 2007 EB2 was U, so yours was not properly filed.
11) I told her, There was an interim Memo released by USCIS that they will accept application until Aug-17 2007 based on July 2007 visa bulletin
12) She said she will look at DOS bulletins
13) After 10 mins she said, she cant find any such memo..and said, since there is no evidence with her, she has to deny our case based on "Improper filing when PD was not current"
14) Then I said, if PD was not current, wouldn't TSC return the application denying on the spot? Why would they accept the application?
15) She said, you would think so..but they accept many times..so we are told to verify all the time
16) THen said, she believes us but for process, she needs evidence and said she will look into further and then make a judgment.
17) We had no choice and we were over the interview. we were little disappointed though
18) After coming home, I realized she took all I-94s and we got panicked..because if 485 is getting denied and I-94s are gone, how do we prove our legal status, so we thought of going back..then I thought, if have to go anyway, then I should take a print out of Interim Memo
19) I went back an hour later with the print out
20) I told security that, we had finished our interview and officer forgot to return our I-94..they insisted that we shud take infopass and they wont allow anyone to go back..I had to really argue with them (I decided I have nothing to loose..anyway 485 is screwed and so stood there asking them to let me in)
21) After consistent nagging, the security guy took our passports, interview response letter(After interview if your app doesn't get appproved they willgive a kind of reciept saying u attended the interview..blahblah) and went in
22) Came back and told me to go in since the officer wants more details from you (I thought this was a miracle)
23) I went inside, and after a while officer came back. We apologized and told her that we came back for I-94s..she said they will retain and wont return..We told her that we are not using EAD and we are still on H1B..she said she will give back..
then she asked, I am sure you didnt come back for I-94 alone, did you get any document?
24) We showed her the memo.
25) She read that and said I am glad you came back..this clears everything out..I will run this by my supervisor and will see if we can adjust status today
26) We waited for 2 hrs and then she took us inside.
27) Asked our passports (to stamp...really)
28) Then she looked into the computer to get the visa #.
29) The we noticed a changed in her face and then she quickly turned into a folder of current VISA bulletin..we said..oh..no..not again.
30) The officer said, per visa bulletin u r current and ur PD is dec 2005..there is no reason for system not to allocated a visa #..
31)She tried for 10-15 mins and finally gave up..said she cant stamp in the passport without allotting the visa number..said sorry..I cant do anything..I will follow up with DOS ppl and will let you know in a week or so.
32) The reason she gave is, when she tried to allot the visa, she got a message, "cut off date not established". I have no idea what this means.
hmmm....still keeping fingers crossed..this is nothing short of a car race.

This case is consular processing? I am confused :confused:

This person's company promoted him to IT Manager with huge hike and then he learnt from company attorney that he cannot change his role while his LPR is in process. He then got demoted to Sr.Software enginner from IT Manager and the hike was rolled back
This is truly the shocking reality of the life of legal immigrants. We need more and more such stories to pass on to our senators...please keep on sending these stories.....

I believe my case is pre-adjudicated.
My lawyer says she has a way to contact TCS but not to NSC.
Is there any way remind NSC about my case becoming current in september 2009?
If your "real" receive date (what you see online as "your case was received on...") is within the published processing dates for your service center, and your case is straight forward, most likely it is preadjudicated. In that case, as their SOP says, they put them in PD order in waiting for the visa. See the SOP below (which is a bit out of date). You are pretty high in PD seniority. you should get a good news soon. Best of luck.

Read CHANGE OF NAME ON AN INDIAN PASSPORT - www.indiacgny.org (http://indiacgny.org/php/showContent.php?linkid=229&partid=223&sub=sub3)
I think your case falls under "In all other cases.."
And that is the process you will have to follow i.e Newspaper Ads as mentioned by ramaonline earlier in this thread.
I got the affidavit notarized at a UPS store. Most stores have a public notary who notarize forms for $5. Now I'll be going to the New York consulate again to see if all is ok or not! :rolleyes:
Here is my situation:
My daughter doesn't have last name in her passport. As I understand last name can be added to her passport at Indian consultate. Now how can we change her name in all USCIS documents - 485, AP,H4 visa. Do we need to have US court order for changing name with USCIS as mentioned by someone ?
Please share your experiences if someone have changed name with USCIS and how would that process work ? Does it need to be done by attorney or can we do it ourselves ?
Thanks,

It is really SAD to see you go through all that. One can only imagine the elation one gets when she was ready to stamp and the depression when she can't get a visa number.
Looks like the numbers for EB2 I have dried up.

Well, hebbar, I hope for your own sake you don't run a business! :)
In your "business model", the costs are shared by a few, but the benefits are free for everyone. (Ever think about that? D'oh!! What do you think is going to happen if any fixes are implemented? USCIS is going to say "only those who donate to IV can get 2 year AP, recaptured visa numbers etc??)
The donors know this, but still shell out the money. Perhaps you should appreciate that before coming up with such brilliant business ideas. :D
what do you mean by supporting IV?
If you are talking about financial donations below model works best for me.
lets say IV core comes up with COST of doing X,Y, Z fixes within XX weeks.
COST is shared among wishing to donate. This becomes like a product purchase.
Current model is not time bound nor result oriented.
Again I am not anti-IV or anything. I am just expressing my idea!

Our Goal for this event was $50000 and so far we did not even raise 20k. We are approximately 60% under target. We won't be able to have another event like this if we go down this path. The last thing we want to happen is our efforts to stall due to lack of dollars. it would undo everything we have done in the past 4.5 years
Thanks Redds777!
For this event we did fund raising and that helped the cause. for the Lobby efforts is there any number that IV want to publish and members will get inspired again!

I am too sure you can get away with it. You are at fault for the below reason.
1) Employing a person without checking their immigration status is an offense.
2) It can come back and haunt you as you helped her in tax evasion. Employer by law MUST report to IRS for any compensation paid.
3) Since the lady is going down, she might take you along with her...What will you do if the lady tells the cops that "she told you that she cannot work here legally and you told her that it is OK and I will pay you in cash"... It becomes a story of she said and he said. They have enough proof of you not legally employing her.
Ignorace of a law is NOT an excuse.
I might be totally wrong on this.. Check with a attorney.

Plainspeak...no one here knows everything abt immigration. so its ok that u lost this argument. we are here to share out experiences, enlighten each other, and work for easing EB backlogs. The fact that theres no one in entire IV that supports ur argument should put some sense into you abt this issue.
and for everyone out there countering plain speak, u know it will never end. i recently saw the sixth sense. the boy says 'they only believe what they want to believe'!

Who asked you? Are we asking for your permission, jackass? If the 75% of the companies were also started by us, then, parasites like you will have to leach off us. Then, who will hire morons like you?
Who cares about your admiration for leadership qualities? Why, does that sharpen your skills as a kissass to your boss?
Your contribution is not welcomed. Go back to where you came from and contribute there.
You say you start 25% of the companies. Though, I don’t believe this number but what about the remaining 75%? Also, what percentage of employment do such companies generate? Negligible! Every Joe Schmuck can start a company; it takes only few hundred dollars. And by the way, those were supposed to be my dollars.
Having said that, I would like to remind the readers I have great respect for those with leadership qualities. Now, my questions to all, what percentage of green card aspirants start such companies?
Just 1%, what about the remaining masses, they in my mind are parasites, sloths, cowards and will do more harm than good to our society.
And this actually strengthen our argument that employment based quota should be drastically reduced and made available to “real people” only.
You just don’t deserve it…

Big deal! So there are two or more people using the same computer/ IP address to post from two IV logins. In all likely hood if there are more than one person, MadhuVJ and GCStatus account users know each other.
Move on. If you really insist, there is only one way to settle this. Since its the same IP address, post your actual st address, a few IV volunteers if they are so inclined would have to visit the site and find out who all live/work there.
Dude, its your beloved Administrator2 ( NOT Pappu, he is cool ) who is making a big deal. He got to stop it. Because of his mess, people like you start posting against us.

Here is another story. My spouse has been working for the same firm for 7 years now. After finishing her Cost Accountancy in India, she received MS in Accounting and MBA in systems management from a top B-School in the US. Even then, her case was filed under EB-3, after a two-year wait because her company does not immediately process GC for newcomers. Her case went to the Dallas BEC for LC clearance in 2003. After that we haven�t heard a peep from the Dallas BEC. Her lawyers, one of the top law firms in the county, are not helpful at all. They wouldn�t tell us our case number so that we can check the status ourselves or tell us what they are doing to pursue the case. Apparently, the company has been burnt by employees who have left the day after getting their GC. Hence, the Law firm�s motto is mum and the HR department in the company is not doing very much to assist. Besides assuming that miraculously the LC is approved, the EB-3 for India is so badly retrogressed�well, we feel hopeless. Moreover her company has a bond agreement, if anyone leaves before completing 2 years of full-time service after receiving the GC they have to pay a fine of 10 grand. Her job involves extensive travel, which is really putting a strain on our family. However, we are in no position to change jobs, even within the same firm. I can apply, but then, it is another 6 grand for processing and I will be way back on the line, and the standards for EB-1 is so exacting and the paperwork required is so daunting that it will take months to get all the paperwork and letters together. And, my school is not very enthusiastic about sponsoring people under EB-2. Anyway, what�s the point of filing under EB-2 now?

Good job folks, there's still 2 hours in ET and 5 hours in PT for the day to end and I'm hopeful of reaching the magic number of 46 members contributing by end of tonight, if you are on the border and unsure about contributing...please read on...otherwise click on the "contribute now" button ..
I attended the "conference in Boston" earlier this month to which three core members had flown in and had the first hand opportunity to discuss with them. The dedication and resolve they showed approaching key people in lawmakers office was just so inspirational. Specifically, the way Aman was talking to individual IV members without taking anything for granted. None of it was for individual cause but for the entire team which means "you". So the best we could do is help the group financially and provide the means to approach for more stronger lobbying efforts. Let's be real, at the end of the day, money talks in the senate ! and we all can contribute little by little and provide the backbone for us and incoming generations..so let's do it folks, please step up...all required is $20 per member...
OK, I'll shut up now...

From the following information:
1.Grant GC to all EB 2 / 3 class pimary applicants who have completed 8 years of continuous stay in the USA without any criminal record.
Personally, I do think the above bill you requested in the #1) is extremely difficult to work. It is because there was a bill proposed to the EB-2/EB-3 applicants to occupy the annual DV-lottery of 55,000 quota but it is NOT becomed a law yet. Now is April, 2011 and the DV-lottery results of this year will be announced soon online and the coming year of DV-lottery will be drawn again later during this coming Oct, 2011 but there is still NO hope to give those EB-2/EB-3 applicants into this DV-lottery quota. If this quota is occupied by EB-2/EB-3 applicants, less applicants will be in GC line.
Also, there is a proposed bill to allow foreign US accreditated universities' advanced graduates of STEM and with a US job offer to have GC but again it is NOT becomed a law yet. Also, your proposed EB-2/EB-3 applicants who have continuous stay of 8 years in US without criminal record to have GC may not fit the requirement of US needed because some of these EB-2/EB-3 applicants are NOT graduated in US universities and some of them are NOT in Science, Medicine, Engineering and Techology academic major which US society in demand.
Last time I have read some other online news or forum, it talks about there is guy who was graduated in a US university with double Master degree---one is M.Sc in computer science and the other is MBA and he still get stuck in getting his first new H-1B visa and later he decided to back home without choice. Yesterday I have read some other online news or forum, it talks about some people who graduated in US Ph.D or doctorate degree in Science/Engineering/Medicine cannot get the GC or some of them get stuck in his or her first new H-1B visa application (due to quota was full or from other reasons) or get stuck in the H-1B visa renewed. So without H-1B visa, how can they get into the EB line for GC?----They are all US graduates and have stayed in US for more than 6-8 years to study with social security card and drivers' licenses and without criminal record !!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you can see if your requested bill in #1) is working, so how about those who graduated in US university in Advanced degree of Science/Medicine/Engineering with US job offer or without H-1B visa?------They are US STEM graduates and have stayed in US with 6-8 years either study or work without criminal record (and with social security card and drivers' licenses)
Personally, I do believe since US demand Science/Medicine/Engineering (STEM) type people and also need the inflow of money to rescue the national debt, so why don't allow those US STEM type graduates get the GC and bring the money to immigrate to start up companies to create job opportunities and to buy houses. Then the non-STEM graduates who want to stay in US can also go into the second path of immigration such as bring money to set up companies to hire 3-6 persons for better economy. The DV-lottery can open to any US STEM graduates to enrol online by " first come, first get" basis and if once annual immigration quota of 55,000 is filled, those graduates need to wait for another year to enrol online for immigration. So every STEM or non-STEM graduates bring money to start companies in US creating job opportunities, paying taxes and bring inflow of money----better economy is growing up.
Moreover, those graduates will invite friends/relatives to visit US, increasing sales of both international and dosmetic airline tickets, hotel reservations, restaurant reservations and uplift the profits all kinds of retail businesses. Tourist visa fees will also add monetary income. Overall, inflow of money and jobs creation are dual powers to uplift the economy.
With inflow of money from immigration, there is NO government shutdown and there is NO hiking taxes needed for the existing US companies.
Also, in Australia, it allows foreign graduates who have stayed in Australia for over 5 years and without criminal record to get the GC automatically
OK first of all this proposed bill has no relation to the DV lottery neither does it have any relation to H1B visa. We are talking about the people who are stuck in GC queue for 8 years or more. Which means we are referring to people you started their GC application 8 years ago and still waiting in queue without knowing when their number will come. I hope this clarifies your doubts. Just because you stayed legally for 8 years does not/should not qualify you for getting permanent residency, you have been legally here and paying taxes for the past 8 years there by contributing to the economic growth of the country and this should be the reason why the US govt should consider you for giving you permanent residency. Think about the kids of EB3 holders who are on H4 and want to join college after 16 years, They are not considered residents in US and there by all the international rules apply for their college studies. So much for being in US for 8 years or more and paying taxes to the government and contributing to the economic growth and you get to pay more and more. When illegals can get a DREAM ACT why not our kids? if you are married recently and had your kid born here in the US you might not understand this because your kid is a US citizen but it has a huge impact on EB category members whose kids are not born in the USA, just think about them.
One has to start somewhere to achieve their goals without even trying to start how can we think this is not possible. I don't want to give any examples here but I would like to say that out motive should be to turn the IMPOSSIBLE to I'M POSSIBLE. Those who are with me please contribute. Critics are welcome without them we would never get new ideas for discussions.
Wishing for the betterment of everyone in this forum!
