Those numberusa people donot want any reform at all..The only reform they want is abolishing all immigration...Donot even think of getting into the trap of talking to those people...
Let the CIR or SKIL bill come up as a consolidated bill in late winter as the other lawmakers were discussing...We have to keep making efforts so that the bill would come up...Remember senate was never the problem...Now with democratic house it might become easier to push the CIR /SKIL through...
Talking to the anti immigration folks is a counter productive idea....
First of all, with a democratic house, it is not AT ALL easy to get the CIR passed. Don't believe anyone who says that. That has been contradicted in every leading newspaper editorial. The new Dems are conservative. Plus they are afraid of the backlash in 2008. And a big sign of that is: Pelosi is silent on CIR. It is not coming up soon. If it were that easy, it would be the first thing they would have brought up. In fact, Pelosi even met the President immediately after it became clear that she was going to the majority leader. But it still did not come up. Isn't it obvious?
Talking to anti-immigration is counter-productive? Well then why did we call Sessions?
Believe me, I will be most relieved if CIR solves our problems and if it goes successfully when it is taken up --- most probably by 07/07. After all I need is a GC that is all. I don't care for ideology at this point.

Yes, this is happening in some of the main airports(like ORD, JFK, ...). My friend' friend and her husband went to India for vacation and came back. At POE (ORD), the officer asked them to go back to India imm. Then these couples showed their EAD and ongoing mortgage, in spite of that he has given them 15 days time limit to sell the house, car and everything, and leave the country. Poor ppl, they sold the house for under value and they are yet to leave the country now (may be within a week). They don't want to offend anyone, becoz they want to enter US in future without any black mark.
If they come to know, the person is coming alone, then they are asking him/her to jus leave the country imm. In some cases, where both Husband and wife are working, they force one of them to convert they H1 to H4. Worst case, they are asking them to leave country :(
Its really devasting, we should take it to a serious level in India. But ppl are afraid about next visits. We should send a serious message to our politicians in India. The consulate just give visa and let them travel, and ask ppl to go back at POE, because they want their tourism to flourish. I remember someone talking about this issue in Parliament, but before it goes to a serious level, the elections came.
Guys please, join hands and we have to do something. We could be the next victim.

I am sure there are many others who missed the 2007 fiasco and waiting patiently. And I believe allowing pre-filing is an admin fix, correct ?

I never thought about it that way. But I like this interesting theory. :) maybe I am just interested in conspiracy theories.
To add to this theory, maybe there was push to keep it current (in 07/2007), so that CIR-amnesty beneficiaries could file 485 right away, without any wait.
In-fact similar things had happened before. AC21 came effective in October 2000, right before the amnesty given in Dec,2000 (life act of 2000). Later the amnesty beneficiaries didnt had to wait that much in que because of the surplus of visas (ac21 re-capture).
--------------
IMO July fiasco (making everything current) was the side effect of CIR 2007. USCIS/DOS didn't do a mistake there. That was intentional move by DOS in anticipation of a passage of CIR. When they were sure that CIR won't pass, they reverted the bulletin back and rest is history.
--------------
Here are the dates:
CIR 2007 introduced in Senate on: May 9, 2007
CIR Vote on cloture fails in Senate: June 7 2007
July 2007 visa bullettin released on :June 12 2007.
S. 1639 failed on June 28, visa bulletin was reversed on July 2
--------------
Don't believe whatever is written in Visa bulletin. "Low Visa Number Usage" is an eyewash term used to justify all the insane bulletin movements.Even if there was low visa usage, why should they make it all current ? They could have moved the bulletin by couple of years. My take is, gov wanted all legal GC applicants to get in line before illegals flooded the USCIS queue.

What she says is the case will be processed per RD (FP, Name Check etc.). There is no surprise there. Once it comes to approvable state, it'll be shelved until a visa number becomes available. Once visa numbers are available, they'll be assigned per PD (and not RD).
Please..I request you to read all the finer prints before pressing the panic button. We're all stressed already.
I just received Murthy Newsletter. She says USCIS would process cases based on the I-485 filing date and not by priority date.
So this means someone whose I-485 was filed earlier stands a better chance of getting the GC as long his/her priority date is current.
I wish USCIS had a better logic on processing cases.
This thread should get lot interesting from August 1st.
Good Luck Everyone.

This has never happened before. Once you apply, if your date gets retrogressed subsequent to your application, then they dont start sending 485 petitions back. Look at December 2004 EB3 for precedence. They knew early on when they were accepting those EB3 petitions for India, Phillipines and China in December 2004 that they will be retrogressed in 2005 and the rest of 2005 but they still kept accepting them in December 2004 and then kept them intact even after dates retrogressed in 2005.
So if they do this, they will be overturning the precedent again.
The core group will try to verify this information but I dont think there is any reason they would reverse their decision announced on July 17th. It is very likely that the customer service reps are not up to date with latest memo on July 17th.

Pls do not worry. You can get H1 premium processing done with your present company. If you have any time left from your 6 year H1 B period (vacations to India etc) you will getting H1 for that period. If you appeal your 1-140 or i-485 revocation you will get 1 year extension based on the fact that your labor is more than 365 days old. Sometime they approve the H1 petition but do not approve the change of status (COS) from EAD to H1. Then you can go to Canada with all ur W2's stacked in your arm and no visa officer would deny your H1 stamping. Best of Luck :)

Hey guys,
Read this article and see if you need to attend a successful rally when CIR is being discussed.
http://www.ilw.com/immigdaily/digest/2008,1229.shtm#comment
It gives you an indication of how you/me/we might become the "unintended casualty" of the coming CIR. Visibility is the only thing that will prevent us becoming "unintended casualties". Our cause is the most just, our whimper however is the quietest.
I feel that a show of numbers, followed up by call/legislator visits at the appropriate time in the CIR process may be the only thing that puts our issue in the discussions. It basically is up to us and our activism.

The memo is confusing.
If I have H4 and start working on EAD, I lose H4. So even though I am eligible to work, I cannot as I lose my status (status violation) and become deportable. Nonsense. The INA was written with the assumption that any petition will be adjudicated in 6 months. It it was the case, the memo would work. But reality is very different.
Another point. We are discussing about a USCIS memo.
USCIS is a department operating under US government. USCIS director cannot issue a memo that contradicts INA. If the memo contradicts INA, the memo is invalid.

Important -
Not sure why everybody are so panic about this. Please read the UCSIS recent FAQ. They clearly mentioned at Q15 that there will be delay in processing for backlogged countries. That means..they will accept all applications whether visa# is available or not.

In the interest of its MI members, and those from other states who may be exposed to similar risk if such laws become more widely adopted by other states, IV should issue a strong statement against it articulating the issues legal immigrants will face.

Friends,
What was feared has come true. MI SOS (DMV) has passed the rule denying DLs to newer applicants on Temporary visas. Rules are yet to be made for renewals. But based on statements by SOS Terri Ann Lynd, I wouldn't be surprised if Temporary visa holders are denied DLs too ( since the rule will be based on interpretation of MI law by State Attorney General which says that only permanent residents can be given DL in Michigan)
http://www.michigan.gov/documents/sos/Applying_for_lic_or_ID_SOS_428_222146_7.pdf (http://www.michigan.gov/documents/sos/Applying_for_lic_or_ID_SOS_428_222146_7.pdf)
http://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,1607,7-127--183894--,00.html
Ms. Lynd hopes temporary visa holders can drive using home country licences. She doesn't understand that Indians need IDLs too, which they can get only in their home country. She doesn't understand that many may not have DLs in their home countries (esp. Indians who came here as students) . I'm not surprised if mine has expired by now! For getting IDL we need to go back to our home country and get it from there. This is the gift by State of Michigan to immigrants on the occassion of day to remember the greatest humanitarian of our times - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Hello All.
I know its not the right question in this forum but I want to know if any of you parents had a late talking child. If yes then please let me know when they started talking and if there is anything I can do from my side. I have heard few of my friends who saying it happens with Indian kids who are raised here becuase of the bilingual affect.
Just a concerned father.
---Win.
wrong thread - start a new thread - assuming it is a genuine question - ask pediatrician or a specialist. does he/she watch too much TV ? if yes, reduce / stop that immediately - daycare / nanny does babysitting ?
