As of May 2007, USCIS reported a staggering 329,160 FBI name check cases pending, with approximately 64 percent (211,341) of those cases pending more than 90 days and approximately 32 percent (106,738) pending more than one year.
While the percentages of long-pending cases compared to last year are similar, the absolute numbers have increased. There are now 93,358 more cases pending the name check than last year. Perhaps most disturbing, there are 31,144 FBI name check cases pending more than 33 months as compared to 21,570 last year – over a 44 percent increase in the number of cases pending more than 33 months. (page 37)
The backlog appears likely to get worse, because a USCIS fee increase -- slated to take effect in July -- has prompted a 50 percent rise in new naturalization applications so far this year. If a new immigration bill is enacted, millions of undocumented immigrants would also apply for legalization. (Washington Post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=85213&postcount=365))
Currently, USCIS has limited capability to produce reports detailing the status of long-pending FBI name check cases. In addition, USCIS systems do not automatically indicate when a delayed name check is complete and the case can be adjudicated. Often, this leads to a situation where the validity of other checks expire before USCIS reviews the case. Those other checks then need to be reinitiated, adding financial and time costs for applicants and USCIS. The Ombudsman fully supports the expeditious rollout of the BCS system. (page 43)
the bureau since 2001 has intensified the scrutiny of immigrants with high-technology backgrounds. (Washington Post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=85213&postcount=365))

As illustrated below, since 1994 there have been over 218,000 un-recaptured employment-based visas lost due to underutilization of the employment-based visas."
Some unused EB #s were recaptured for families in following year. For example, in 1994 there were 29,430 (column 2) unused EB #s. However, 27,721 (= 253,721 (column 3) - 226,000 (family quota)) of these #s were recaptured for families. Thus, only 29,430 - 27,721 = 1,709 (column 4) were un-recaptured.
Also, 50,000 unused EB #s from 01-04 were recaptured for Schedule A.
Finally, unused EB #s in 99 and 00 were recaptured, hopefully for EB.
Thus, unused EB #s are more important then un-recaptured EB #s (mentioned above) since some of them have not been recaptured for EB.
The unused EB #s is 506,384 (total column 2) - 98,941 (99 recaptured for EB) - 31,098 (00 recaptured for EB) = 376, 345

Dude,
I am facing same issue....need to get some money back from India....and there is no way i can get it officially without losing significant part of it. It is really illogical to send money to India for property investment just because we cannot get money back.....I am repenting doing that....
Whenever I ask my friends to do this favor to me.....all they say is they dont have money to send India (since they dont want to disclose their worth to me) or they dont want to send money to India since they know it is useless to send money at such a bad conversion rate.
If you can find some better way, let me know too.

Sorry to hear this. Regarding medical insurance, your company has to offer you COBRA..you will end up paying almost twice the premium that you have been paying so far, but it would still be better than you footing the delivery charges (10k - 25K). Continue CORBA atleast till the deliver and post-partum - for as long as possible..
Terminating you in your ninth month pregnancy is probably against the law, i think if you can prove it, you might be able to sue your employer, check your local state laws..
Good luck..!
Hi
When adding my wife to my medical coverage provided by my employer, my wife was pregnent, I did a bit of reading up, most of the group insurance policies offered by employers does not consider pregnancy as pre-exisitng condition. That is the major benefit of group insurance policies. If your husband is working in the west, Kaiser
is the way to go!
As mentioned in the above post, employer should offer CORBA, which can be your backup.
Always remember that tough times will always pass!! just hang in there!
All the best!

H4 visa stamped until 09/30/2007.
H1B approval notice from 10/01/2006 to 09/30/2009.
Spouse H1B valid until 09/30/2007.
What would be the answer to DS-156:
30. Have You Ever Been Issued a U.S. Visa? Yes/No?
WHEN? (Most Recent) day/month/year ?
WHERE?
WHAT TYPE OF VISA?
Enter Additional Visa Issuances Here:
38. Have you ever violated the terms of a U.S. visa, or been unlawfully present in, or deported from, the United States?
Does visa means stamped in the passport or even the approval notice?
H1B approval notice from 10/01/2006 to 09/30/2009.
Spouse H1B valid until 09/30/2007.

Did you had the paystubs or the immigration officer did not ask for it?
What did you mentioned at line # 30 and # 38 of DS-156?
How long was your wife out of status? Please respond. I am unable to get the paystubs from the employer. He is not picking up the phone.
One of my Friend's Wife had same issue and She got H4 stamping from her country with out any problem. Visa officer asked paystub/w2's of spouse (H1b holder) and not dependent's and least bother about her previous status. Do not attach her H1b document while applying Visa.

No issues at all. I had to wait a little longer as I was referred to a special processing Q. They just looked at my passport and the two AP copies (nor I have shown them anything more myself) I received from USCIS. They stamped on both and returned me only one copy. I-94 issued for one year from the date of entry.

Hi,
I am in the same boat my DL will expire on sept 30th. went to Hackensack/Lodi DMV. They extended till Jan 10th 08.
Best thing is do not depend on one DMV. try different places. in some DMVs the officers are not aware of our situation.
good luck

Is it possible to do so ? Can we apply for 2nd EAD application even without first one, and having got the receipt notice for first one ? If yes then this is a good solution, but then who knows how long the 2nd one will take to be approved, making it a worthless effort.
It is possible, but what's the point? It will have later receipt date. It is better to file a lawsuit to force the USCIS to issue EAD. It will cost only $350 :)

kudos to what u accomplished in July 2007, but the reality is we haven't seen any major action after that. I guess its mostly frustration from ppl here, who think that the US housing/EB crisis can be pursued aggressively than expecting for CIR to happen.
thanks
I was once a non-believer but now I am a believer, not because of what core has done, but what this community of educated illiterates have not done. Every time someone has increased level of anxiety, that person comes to this forum, vent out on someone else, ask someone else that what have you been doing because I have not received my green card, and then after bickering in few posts, simply vanish in think air like a fart. The name of the game is, let someone else clean up the shit for me while I enjoy my pop-corn watching a movie with my family. But lets not stop blaming someone else for my own inaction for my green card. Demand answers right now because I had a sudden gust of enthusiasm to find out when I well get my green card. That's the way to go .... and the story goes on ....

Now you have seen what goes and does not go into a rally. This is a complicated task so it has to be planned, as was the DC one.

This will work if high school students do it. not "highly skilled" immigrants.

Yeah.. spam them with emails..
>>>-human chains
This involves same complexity as the rally. so its not an easy task.
>>>-hunger strike?
This will be stupidity. ( I am not calling you stupid, but the idea. so no need to jump on me). Eat your food and live healty and happy. Is GC worth going on hunger strikes and suicide attempts? Thats too much of desperation. You are not from Afghanistan or Kenya right..?

Oh yeah.. the "drain stoppers" stuff.. thats again stupid. Thats too much literal comparison to brain drain.

I know, it is unfair and frustrating. But from legal point of view, you are mixing Employment Laws with Immigration Laws.
