I thought i wouldn't marry till i get ma GC coz i didn't wanna gal to come n rot here without a job being on H4.
but now i've gotten so freakin old waitin for the GC n still waitin that i might not get a gal to marry.:eek: :eek:
If you marry a girl after geting greencard you have to wait 5 years to bring her to US. So better yet, marry after you get citizenship :D which might be when you are ready to collect your social security

Going forward, EB3 would be in 3000 to 4000 range unless we come together as a force and act.
Really sad to see these numbers.
Most of the EB3 numbers in 2004, 2005 and 2007 would have gone to Nurses and Physios.
Looks like, we have been in this 3 to 4k range for a while.
Heaven save us.

Yes, GC is not life, we might back to our country still with good quality life. But deported by this piss-off reason, We really can't be ease.
Just meet some prideful but stupid local American, can't depend on their intelligence. Just like my wife tried to explain we don't speak English at home to refute that ridiculous "help" shouting, but the leasing office ass manager question, "Why you speak English with me now??? " How can I comment? "Can you understand if I said my native language?" Finally we have to find a new apartment in 3 days.
Thanks all the input from the forum. Really appreciated.
I think you need a second opinion from a lawyer, no one here can really help you (unless he/she is a lawyer).
If your version of the story is really the absolute truth (assuming there is no wrong doing on your part) then you should fight, the system is fair (I'm sure people understand language barriers) and I'm sure judgment will be in your favor.
Just a word of caution... Don't underestimate the intelligence of people making the judgment, they deal with such cases everyday - they can easily smell a rat.
GC is not life, the trial verdict can change your life for better or for worse (specially if there is jail time involved).
Good Luck!

My kids didn' go to day care until they are 1.5 years old, then they want to babysitter , they started going to day care after 2.5 years. Day care is right place for kids after 2 years, because they need other kids to play, staying home is boring for them. I have personally experienced this.

its not EB2 or EB3..its just desis that are being signalled out!
its border on Apartheid..but of a different kind..;-)..(think maan...)
:cool:
so to fight this injustice..brother.. support IV..;-)
I would strongly suggest, people refrain from using words like injustice, etc., Injustice implies the US govt is doing something wrong, when they are not. Such accusations do not reflect well on us and are unlikely to benefit in any meaningful way.
Desis are impacted because we are just so many of us. No other reason. Keep in mind that we are still walking away with the bulk of green cards each year, far above the stipulated Quota.
The Green card system exists for the benefit of America. It will not be tailored to meet the individual needs of overpopulated countries. All we can do is request them to improve the system and make it easier for applicants. Taking the aggressive approach of accusations, demanding for change, asking for more, etc., will not work.

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??

Check/Bill-pay has been temporarily discontinued due to logistics reasons.
PayPal automates the payments. Checks/Billpay requires an IV volunteer (trusted by IV core) to take time off and physically collect these checks/echecks from the IV mailbox in NJ, and deposit them to the IV bank account. Someone has to spend time and effort into doing it !
Are you saying IV can't find anyone IV trust to do this, or nobody in IV core thinks it is woth it to do some extra leg work? I don't think IV has the luxury of not doing the leg work. Every peny counts.

Hope you all are doing well.
I will join you folks. I was there at San Jose rally, DC rally and advocacy event, will be there this year. Good to see some of the returning folks. Last time California had more than forty members at the DC rally, probably the reflection of the state of economy and urgent need for immigration reform at that time. Time have changed and many people's circumstances have changed but our resolve is unchanged. Last time our advocacy effort impacted the lives of hundred of thousands of people who were able to apply for their EAD. Sweet victory for IV members and hats off to their leadership in this area.
Now, we work to help gather support for a CIR bill. I am excited about this. Lets do this.
Cheers!

Here is the timeline for folks that are not serious
EB2 India: Waiting for July - October spillovers thinking that most EB2 will be current. The prediction threads have hyped this a lot. Many will benefit this year. But many will miss this bus too. Some from those who will miss this bus, would be back wanting to do something in Nov - May timeframe. Others will waste their time on predictions and trackers and make those site owners rich.
EB3 India: Many who filed in July 2007 are still happy with EAD status. They worry and contact IV only if their I140 is revoked, I485 denied or if EAD renewal is delayed. Some still sulk or want to blame someone (even IV) for their delays. Those who have not filed I485 yet are few in number. Many new Eb3s still do not know the extent of the backlogs. With time they will slowly learn about the backlogs and wait times. When they suffer due to lack of EAD, they will all make noise on IV asking for some action. This is the reason why the I485 filing action item thread is still weak and pre-mature. I would give another 2 years for the non-I485 folks to have retrogression sink in.
Retrogression is not going away. If it goes away, only applicants will benefit from it. And these applicants are too weak and small in number to even raise their voice. So why would anyone pass a law to make these people happy that do not even want any law changed. After 2 years all the folks who are not participating in advocacy days and contributing, will contribute to IV. At that time, if we in core are still around, would rather ask them to lead the effort if they can and if they are really serious. The current advocacy day campaign and contributions are a measure of seriousness for us to plan our next agenda items.
Agree with Pappu.
We maybe happy now with EAD, but, we never know. Consider this, as per Yates memo
This memo is just a "interim guidance" and NOT a law. That does not make me very comfy. If it is a law, we can always appeal in court. Not sure about an "interim guidance "
It also clearly mentions, "this is an interm guidance and the final law can be more restrictive".
In the Yates memo, the 180 day rule is very Lenient , which many of us interpreted or will interpret in our favor.

This is what written in I-131 Instructions
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-131instr.pdf -> page 3
If you are in the United States and seek advance parole:
A. You may apply if you have an adjustment- of- status application pending and you seek to travel abroad for emergent personal or bona fide business reasons; :mad:
we can come up with many excuses that would easily fall under "emergent personal or bona fide business reasons" category.
I thought we must get ready with some reasons, when using AP to re-enter US. I have come up with some of my own that I may use:
1) Grandpa or Grandma is sick (most common reason, perhaps no body uses it as a reason anymore)(bona fide personal reason)
2) Land dispute (bona fide business reason)
3) Parents home need urgent repair (bona fide business reason)
4) Water shortage problem (bona fide business reason)

You can extend your H-1B. Why is EAD your only option?
Thanks,
Jayant
my labor has to be pending 365 days or have an 140 approved to extend. so if pp goes away for 140 then my only option to stay in status is EAD. Also I am not in IT so patni,tcs etc...is out of question.

Thanks for the reply , let me file the H1 transfer with Employer2 now in "Premium route" with the I-140 approval from Employer1 and see if we get a approval. Once i get a approval , i think stamping it wont be an issue after 7-8 months even thought Employer1 has revoked that I-140 ?
However i want to clear even if the Employer1 revokes this I-140 my PD still remains locked - right ???
>> if my I-140 gets revoked can i switch to another employer and extend my H1B by 3 more years ??
No, I-140 must be active in order to extend H1-B beyond 6 years.

Roy Beck, Norman Matloff and Lou Dobbs are jerks, these clearly racist, xenophobic assholes have some appeal to the fringes of the right and a few on the left.
Most of the Democratic lawmakers give a damn to these idiots.
I rarely call anyone a racist - but here it is, the evidence is all there on Youtube, and the internet.
Sorry for the language IV - but these freaks deserve it.
No need to apologize. All these desperate actions show that NumbskullsUSA is scared and trying hard to scuttle this by any means - fair or foul. More power to us and wishing failure for their evil racist agenda. NumbskullsUSA should be designated as a hate group like the KKK.

I have been a big fan of IV and have been a visitor to IV for a while. I now plan to become a volunteer and join my state chapter and also contribute in all possible ways to IV because I think IV is the best thing to happen to this community.
Dear gurus - here is my issue and I need some real concrete help.
I was working for a New Jersey based consulting company on a percentage basis ie 80/20 and all costs towards GC and h1b were by me. I found my own projects and negotiated my own billing rate.
I worked for this company for 3 years and filed for 485 in July 2007. I am EB2 India with a priority date of March 2nd, 2006. My 140 was approved in June, 2006.
In March, 2008 my project got over and I started looking for new projects. Market conditions forced me to take up a fulltime job using my EAD and I had to move into a fulltime job.
As it is safe past 180 days, I used AC21 portability and moved.
I had been having excellent relationship with my desi employer and in fact also payed up some money to the employer because the client did not pay for last 2 months of my project and my desi employer held me responsible as it was me who negotiated with the client and said it is my issue - for which I agreed.
I already sent a AC21 letter to USCIS through my Attorney - I am not sure if my file got updated.
My desi employer wants to withdraw the 140 petition now. He says, he cannot keep 140 petitions of employees who leave the organization and not on w2 and he will have "ability to pay issue"
I have heard horror stories of USCIS issuing denials and NOID because AC21 letter never reached the file even though it was sent in time and I guess this is exactly what my desi employer thinks - teach lesson by withdrawing 140.
I spoke to my Attorney and she says "your file may not be updated but we will keep a record that we sent" useful in case we want to respond to NOID or RFE.
Folks - please post your AC21 success/horror stories when previous employer withdrew the 140 petition.
What are my options to avoid a NOID or denial
Thanks in advance

First they should give detailed plan out. even then point system is a pain , no benefits till final stage. its good for all right if one has to sit in 25 years waiting for his turn on visa instead of green card... good luck for all who support this. Other countries who use point system compare the numbers... US has far more immigrants than any other country... if point system is open everyone can apply. But thats good ... but in negative side how can you control huge workload w/o increasing numbers and infact other countries doesnt have numerical limits they control by points. if US has numbers and then point system nothing but taking away all of our benefits go back and wait for 20 years one way of saying go back. realize it.
It will bring down the workload? Can you explain how? If anyone in the world is eligible to apply for the GC without sponsorship, the system will be flooded with applications, irrespective of whether they carry any merit or not. What makes you think that an organization that cannot process 140K applications per year can handle millions?
The point based system sounds great in theory, but cannot be implemented efficiently by the U.S. as long as it remains the most desired country for immigrants. It works for Canada, Australia and the U.K. because fewer people want to move there.
