Is the following (or can it be) a part of the Admin Fix Initiative? :-
Allow I-485 filing and/or obtaining EAD,AP benefits when I-140 is approved irrespective of priority date being current. This will help many of us who missed the July 07 boat.
After listening to his crystal cut views about fixing broken immigration system, my confidence level is boosted and felt like Dr.Obama has guts to deal this challenging CIR initiative for the better future of immigrants and for families of all of those hardworking smart legal immigrants who have been waiting for approvals from past 10 years. Hope it's not alluring speech for his upcoming elections. Problem clearly persists with politicians who don't like our EB VISA applicant community.
I think these following things should be the high priority items for IV core team and to all of us. People who have been patiently waiting to file for 485 since JULY 2007 are loosing hopes based on ongoing immigration trends. I think that it would take at least another 2 or 3 years to pass the CIR and to see it's law in action if GOP fellas have guts and to let this pass it successfully. I think that we should focus on two things to minimize the damage to our personal and professional lives.
I think one quick solution for fixing the issue of century old broken immigration system of USCIS is by allowing disciplined and long waited legal immigrant applicant to file for 485 application once his/her (I-140) application is approved. (Technically, I-140 is the real application for employment based green card. It makes sense for allowing applicant to file for AOS application (I-485 for personal information). this is justifiable with the current USCIS practice as USCIS doesn't approve his/her green card even if his/her PD ( Priority Date) is current unless they have visas to allocate for the case, so it should make prefect sense for 140 approved applicants to allow them to file for I-485)
Another thing is about huge EB backlogs for this broken system , that can be fixed temporarily by supporting and passing the recapture bill which allocates visas of those unused and wasted around 400K immigrant visas of last several years..

I am surprised some friends thought Ed should mention our agenda in an article which is talking about how to keep & increase the vote of the GOP.
Even if every member of IV is given a green card this afternoon, none would be able to vote in 5 years, unless you are in the military. We have less connection to the citizens in the United States than the undocumented workers. Latino citizens vote for more Latinos, but some Chinese citizens may think there are too many Chinese in the United States already!
In one word, none of us can vote in 5 years. Neither can we persuade the citizens we know.
Then, why ED should mention high-skilled worker in an article for VOTE anyway?

Dear All,
Can we determine to pool in at least 200,000.00 (each to contribute at least 300 dollars) so that we can at least hope for GC in few months and not years.
Please help yourself.
My contribution for April:
Donation to Support Immigration Voice (User: Caliber)
$50.00 USD for one month
Effective Date: Apr. 1, 2009 $50.00 USD
Is it a guaranty or just assumption that we get GC in few months if we pool $300 ??? sounds to me is a guaranty.. can you back this up with reasonable explanation????

As I see it, hiring a lawyer is still cheaper than losing 20K per year because you are working for a exploitative consulting company. But if the company is treating you well, there is no reason to leave.
I never understood this "exploitation thing". This is America...
If someone is exploiting we all have a choice. We can change employers; go back home, etc.
It may not be a totally open market but it is not like you have handcuffs around you. This type of talk of exploiting, slavery only hurts everyones cause.

In India, the govt. collaborates with the criminals to kill the citizens.
And the next thing you will say is - and those citizens killed are from a specific minority and Hindus are killing Muslims and India is evil and blah blah blah blah..... Is that all?
What would it take for you to talk sense here? Just say it.

I am not sure how encouraging it will be for you to hear about some of our friends in tristate area.
Pretty much like you (Desi employers, 80/20 or 70/30 arrangements, found contracts through dice/monster/hotjobs, filed in jul 07 fiasco and AC21'ed off to full time positions). There is nothing wrong with these arrangements but unfortunately they are considered pretty much illegal from the H1b & immigration point of view.
Employers of many of them who have received their GC and many who are pending are currently being investigated. First they closed the gaping hole called substitution and now they are after all these sketchy employers and the petitions pending/approved through them.
It sucks for people whose petitions have been approved and are now trying to crystallize their lives by buying homes, etc. Administration holds the trump card in that they can revoke GC/citizenship anytime.
Few of these desi employers were nice enough to notify the beneficiaries. Many of these cases involve people who filed for EB2 i-140 to capture their EB3 dates after changing employers.

EVEN THOUGH WE WILL NOT SAY IT
FIRST UK and now the US
UK kicked out Indian doctors. They also implemented laws which make it difficult for the resident Indians in the UK to marry in India and get their spouses in.
Now its the USA - THEY wont be far behind. Australia will ofcourse follow suit.
PATTERN - WHITE & ANTI SEMITISM
THEY WANT SLAVES WHY CAN WORK FOR THEM FOR FREE. THEY WANT TO PORTRAY THEMSELVES AS ANGELS TO THE BROWN MAN WHICH THEY ARE NOT. Modus Operandi - Spoil the current scene more than it is currently spoiled hence the current situation will look good. Though the current scene is just as bad as can be.
THEY THESE HYPOCRITES GO ONTO THE TV AND BARK
WE ARE A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY (Read Brits & Europeans all White)
WE ARE AN IMMIGRANT NATION (Yeah right what VISA did the Europeans have when they launched GENOCIDE against the NATIVE AMERICANS)
WE ARE EQUAL OPPURTUNITY EMPLOYERS (READ PREFER WHITE ONLY IN THE WORST CASE WHEN THE DUMBEST OF US CANT EVEN FIGURE OUT WHAT A SYNTAX IS DO WE MAKE A HALF HEARTED ATTEMPT TO HIRE A BROWN MAN). But BY THE WAY the farms need CHERRY PICKERS.
WE HAVE GIVEN SO MUCH TO THE DEVELOPING WORLD McDonalds, Coke & Pepsi (TAKEN MORE THE DEVELOPING WORLD SUCKED IT DRY)
IF THEY ARE JUST SO UPRIGHT ABOUT BEING WHITE WHY DO THEY USE ZERO it was DEVELOPED in INDIA. SHOULD HAVE A FUCKING PATENT on ZERO AND SHOULD GET ROYALTY on it for EVERY TIME A SENATOR APPOSING IMMIGRATION USES IT TO CALCULATE SOMETHING. IF ONE OF YOU IS READING "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT ON THE ZERO START USING THE ROMAN NUMERALS MR. SENATOR, THE ZERO IS INDIAN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY"
PISSED AND MAD AS CAN BE.
IF THE BILL GOES AGAINST US I SWEAR ILL BOYCOTT ALL US MADE PRODUCTS OR EVEN IF THEY HOLD ANY EQUITY IN THE FIRM THAT SELLS ITS PRODUCTS IN INDIA.

It is very unfortunate that people equate job opportunities to the population of the country. If that were the case then India and China would have the most job opportunities in the world because they account for one third of the world population but that's not really the case otherwise we all wouldn't be here in the first place.
Opportunities are defined and provided by the economy. When you compare Canada to US, you might say that it's a smaller economy but remember Canada is a G8 country with such a strong economy that most other countries in the world can only dream of. US is the richest country in the world with the strongest economy so obviously other countries don't offer quite the same opportunities but Canada offers things that has become a dream for many of us... to be a citizen of the country where to permanently reside. Canada offers stability, certainty, hope for the future, and and an opportunity for everyone in your family to realilze their dreams as opposed to sitting at home for years doing nothing hoping that one day that EAD will come. Canada respects immigrants and welcomes them with an open arm quite contrary to policies in US where you are allowed to work but your family is not and even you are kept on the state of limbo for years and years wondering what your future holds in years to come. And better yet, you abide by the laws, pay taxes, do everything by the book yet the guy who just walked across the border has much better chances of becoming a permanent resident than you. Where is the respect and fairness for law abiding folks? That my friend is what is different with Canada. You get treated with respect and dignity and you get to decide what your future holds and not the US government.
Good Luck to you all.
Why don't you start a similar forum for "going back to India" ? I hate to burst your "bubble of hope" but Canadian population and job market is limited and the opportunities for professionals like us are limited. Why not consider going back to India and taking up some of the lucrative opportunities in middle management in the IT industry.

msgs like this help establish the notion that this is an indian website dedicated to indian immigration issues. I didnt see any post wishing happy Eid/ Eid Mubarak nor did I notice last year that anyone wished a Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays, nor do we wish our Chinese friends a Happy Chinese New Year.
Dude - my perspective changed after I started living in New York City. Last week we attended a diwali event and it was just not Indians there but all nationalities were present there and everyone were greeting diwali wishes.
I lived in Bombay for 10 years and we celebrated every festival like Durga Puja, Holi, Christmas, we used to have Ramadan fast break lunches and everything.
Living in a cosmopolitan society, one must celebrate and respect every culture and their festivals. Thats the only way to achieve unity.

Here is the relevant info from USCIS site (I-131 instructions)
Link (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-131instr.pdf)
Advance parole is an extraordinary measure used sparingly to bring an otherwise inadmissible alien to the United States for a temporary period of time due to a compelling emergency. Advance parole cannot be used to circumvent the normal visa issuing procedures and is not a means to bypass delays in visa issuance.

bluez25,
thanks for the detailed post.
a question: after 140 approval, does the service center notify you of the approval and send you a copy, or do you only hear next from the NVC ? I'm waiting on my 140/CP filing for the last two weeks and getting a little anxious. Also when can one call up the NVC to confirm that they've received the file ? thanks a lot.
----
QUOTE=bluez25]Guys,
There seems to be little outdated information on this forum.
1. We can not apply for the medicals if you have opted for the CP. You have to do medicals only in the place where your case will be transfered from NVC.
example: If your case is transferred to Chennai consulate. you have to do your medicals in chennai from the list of doctors they provide.
2. Once your I 140 gets approved, your application will be transferred to the NVC for further processing if you opted for the CP.
3. Once NVC receives the approved 140 it will then notify the attorney or yourself with Fee bills to be paid.
4. Once you send the cachiers check for the CP processing, NVC receives the same and send the Packet 3 which is the FORM DS 230 Part 1 to the attorney of records.
5. Once you receive the DS 230 Part 1, you will have to fill that and send it back to NVC.
6. NVC complets the proccessing and will keep the file at NVC until the Priority dates become current.
7. Once it becomes current, NVC forwards the case to the respective consulate for further processing and scheduling of appointments.
8. once the consulate receives the same depending on their appoinment schedule will schedule an appoinment and will go on from there.... issuing the visa..
With Respect to me...
My 140 got approved in jan 2007,
sent to NVC in march
NVC sent the fee bill in April
Sent the bills back to NVC in April.
Received packet 3 DS 230 part 1 in May 2007
sent the filled out form in May 2007,
NVC forwarded the case to chennai consulate on June 5th
Waiting to get any news from chennai consulate.....
Hope this clarifies every one in this forum[/QUOTE]
