Hello ragz4u,
Thanks for opening this thread.I am sure there be plenty of struggling stories to inspire us fight till we reach our goals. I like the way you are giving small snippets of stories without compromising privacy of the person.
If we can get permission from the person to print these stories on IV website , that would be great read and inspire lot of members.
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.....

Did anybody stop to think that maybe Mr. thunderbolt is just pulling a fast one on all of us.
I mean .. it hard to believe that a parent would think twice before reporting a matter like this.
Tell me. Why should someone hire a illegal nanny in the first place? Knowing the consequences, why should they come on this forum and ask for support?
I strongly recommend thunderbolt to post the video on youtube and share it with all of us. He can share the link on sulekha also.
Well - it is his choice if he wants to complain to the police.
I am sure mr thunderbolt will never go to the cops because of his immigration status

The concept of pre-approval/pre-adjudication have been practiced by USCIS since 2005. Though, it is not in their law or SOP or regulations, they are practicing now and before for ease of operation in processing the 485s. As per their current official rule, if a visa number is not immediatly available, the 485 shoul be kept in abayance (not to be processed) till VN again available. But practically it is not possible for them to follow. For example, suddenly, if DOS releases 60,000 visas in a month (like july 07 fiasco), they can not process and approve 60,000 485s in a month, if they keep those files in abayance. I think, they are still processing and pre-approving the 485s during retrogression. The concept of pre-approval in a silent internal procedure. They may pre-approve all the cases. However, they always has a right to check the applicant's eligibility for the approval of 485 at the date of approval of 485. One can not expect them not to send RFE/NOID after it is pre-approved. Unless the law changes drasticlly, it is not a easily achaivable benefit to introduce new immigrat status "pre-approved adjustment cases"for long waiting 485 folks. They clearly argue that benefit of AC21,EAD and AP itseltf a great benefit for 485 folks. There are only 3 immigrant catagory in the law. 1. Non-immingarts 2. Immigrants and 3. Pending to adjust status. Pending to adjust status it self a fluid temporary status as the stay in this status is autorized by attorney genreral. It is not a visa status like H1B or green card. In order to bring a new catagory in this status, I think they need to change the INA.

Hi Guys.. need someone to answer my question, if possible. Thanks in advance.
My PD is Sep 2004 ( EB2 India ) and I was also July 2007 filer, and also the victim of my 485 being closed by USCIS nebraska in May 2008, which anyways got reopened within a month after supplying necessary documentation ( Approved I140 and moved to new company etc ) . I work on an EAD now. My question is
1) My AP is expiring in mid October. Should I file for a AP renewal and spend extra money ? Do I have a chance of getting GC in September ? Btw I was told last year at USCIS newark, NJ office that all the background checks and other things show clear on my case.
2) I moved my apartment 2 blocks away early this year, but my city and zip code are the same. If I file an AR11 ( change of address ) , will it raise any flags, since I have read on this forum that a change of address sometimes prompts an RFE. I am a bit scared of going through ups and downs, so I just feel like not doing anything which might create any kind of issue after so many years of pain.
Please give your insight. Thanks so much in advance !

There's a soft lud yesterday on our 485 and I-140 online cases status. Although it doesn't mean anything I got a quick question. Does an infopass appointment trigger soft LUD's. Yesterday we were suppose to attend an infopass appointment and got delayed in a traffic jam and were late by 10 mins and had to cancel the appointment.
Also we recently filed AC21 due to a change in employer. Do you think that would be the reason?

Can you tell exact wording you used in the letter of completion. I would assume that you need to have following statement in the letter.
"xxxxx has completed all the degree requirements"
instead of just having "would be graduating"
Do you happen to know anyone who has been granted visa with this document saying that the student has completed all the degree requirements? Also, if I get another document from my University can I add it to the file I have already submitted to immigration?

I have filed for H1B under the Masters quota but i will be graduating only in May and gave an official document from my University that i would be graduating. Somebody i know had also done a similar thing but he got a h1B rejection mail from USCIS yesterday. This has made me really upset. Is anyone there who has filed with a similar document and has received H1B? He had filed it witha consultant while mine is a highly reputed company. Will that make a difference?

Everybody's case is different, when it comes to how they feel being a in a foreign country and hanging by a thread to get a stable status and stable life. You seem to have gotten a stable job which probably means you are better than most of the people who are working as contractors. But what matters is being on Visa, are you able to enjoy your life here? Will getting a GC help you have a better life or will you continue to lead the same life?
I think if you believe getting a GC will help you lead a better life you should stay here - since your i140 is cleared its another 4-5 yrs wait max. On the other hand if your job here is unstable and you think you will have a better life back home, then you should move. Bangalore is a great city as long as you have a comfortable job and good pay.
Thanks man. My decision was mainly based on the waiting period. Within 4-5 years I can get ultimate post based on my experiance at india but here I have to be in same role.
Also I am trying to start my own IT training firm there so with gods on my side in 4-5 years that company can grow to a mid size firm.

As I posted on another thread, I do not believe that all those old approvals are due to sub labor.
A large part is related to FBI name check; remember, they just cleared a lot of name check cases...Not necessarily a bad thing, but we always feared as to how big is that number and it is still early to see the full impact of "clearing of that backlog>"

I see that the above discussion keeps on going on about EB-2 only. Doesn't anyone at IV care about EB-3 I also . I am sure there are a few EB-3 I people at IV who are suffering from retrogression , myself included.
I disagree with you. There are not FEW EB3 I people but MANY who are suffering! EB3 I is in 2001. Guys have been suffering for over 7 years. EB2 not more than 4 years (or max 5 years).
Who is retrogressed more? But guess what, EB3 is not as skilled as EB2 despite they are here for over 7 years and hence it is OK for them to part their family, go through retrogression pains more than others do, expose their career more than others do, pay more H1B renewals and EAd renewals (revenue for Govt) but get stepmotherly treatment.
The irony is over 15-25% (a very conservative figure) of these EB3 people are actually qualified to be EB2s!! It is just because of their employer/lawyer laziness they were filed under EB3.

[QUOTE=msp1976]You see ...even in this text.They did not remove the limits as you claim...Unless and until they write that the 7% limit does not apply...all your logic remains on paper and not in practice...QUOTE]
Please try to read law carefully. The law will not have simple terms as you think. They have to draft the law in the language of the act. Any way the meaning is same.
The law explicitly say that the 7% country limit does not apply to the EB1, EB2, EB3, EB4, EB5 catagories, if excess visas available in those catagories.
