It appears that you are cracking a joke, but I cannot stop from replying to your post. Why are you asking God to save IV? For the things we cannot do or for the things we dcon't understand, why do we always have to bring in 'God' in the picture? Can't we even crack a joke without brining in God?
I am just trying to prevent world war III on these forums. Thats why my request for not referring "God'. We will all be much more happier funnier and peaceful if we try not to bring in 'God' in the mix.
Next thing you will see, someone will post - "God, when will the VB dates move for my category".

Oh God, when my day will come.... :D

So looks like only the renewal will have a delay. First-timers won't face much difficulties.
It might be a problem for those people working on EAD and waiting for renewal since they can't work if the renewal does not come in time. Why does USCIS not allow grace period for people to work based on receipt , the same way it does for H1b??

People with grown up kids, I guess would prefer Canada over India. There are many problems starting with the education system, reservations etc. For kids who had been studying here from KG through grade 8-9 it's difficult to get dragged in the rat race in India, especially for normal kids who don't belong to any reservation category.
I also have a wild idea like US companies may look at Canada as a outsourcing destination if given very competitive package. One of the biggest advantage will be proximity to the US, so better control over quality etc. That may not turn into a big boom but is a possibility.
-----
I am not sure if you are aware of NAFTA, it was a trade aggrement that was suppose to be the equivalent of EU in terms of trade. It failed because low-cost manufacturing took flight from Mexico to China and similar scenario for software from US/Canada to India. This trend is not going to reverse in next few years. Exceptions will always be there.
Service sector already accounts for 40 to 50% of Indian GDP and will keep growing. Based on these facts it is obvious that long term economic prospects are better in India/ China, since you are looking from your children's perspective.
Also, you mention issues about Indian education system. I disagree. There are problems with American education system also. You can't generalize. If your kids are smart they can get into better colleges like IITs etc. I think you are confusing the issue about adaptability with good future prospects.
One last thing about issues. It would be good to let your kids decide what skils they are interested in learning, most Indian parents live their own dreams through their kids. Just a suggestion :)

If you don't take the hunting class, I highly recommend a firearm safety class. Almost all firearm accidents are caused by human error and there are many technicalities you need to know (e.g. what to do if the cartridge malfunctions or fails to fire) to not endanger yourself or those around you.
I recommend going to a nearby firing range and renting some firearms at the range and trying them out. You have a better chance of finding handgun rentals than long-gun rentals. The range will likely only ask for your Driver's license and will make you take a safety exam before they let you loose on the range. The experience at the range will help you determine if firearm ownership is right for you (noise, recoil, etc.). Go with a smaller caliber and a heavier firearm for a more manageable recoil the first time.
Good info. From the pamphlet it is clear that if you have resided in the State where you are buying the handgun for 90 days and intend to make a home in that State AND are in possession of a valid hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the US the you are eligible to purchse a firearm from an FFL to possess in the US.
I checked the GA Department of Wildlife website and you can get a license online for hunting in a matter of few minutes by paying a small fee unless you intend to hunt Deer for which you need to undergo hunting course.

You're most welcome, a big thank you to the core team for having followed up and for doing what was necessary to turn this into reality. I have shared the article with some of my colleagues, and they all agree that the article hit the nail on the head in as many words in regards to the problems that we all undergo as GC and LC applicants, problems that the public at large does not know about and would not otherwise not have knowledge about were it not for IV. Lets keep up the team spirit, the momentum and steer IV to even greater heights! We can do it and we certainly will.

My employer has made me an account signatory in one of his other company(a sister company of my H1company), so i can take the money out for travel expenses. Is that going to create any problem? I have my regular pay check coming from my H1 company.
I don't want to judge you; but...
This is an example of how people are creating problems for themselves.
Let me guess; you started a company and made it a layer between the h-1b company and your vendor. Your company receives the billings and you withhold xxx dollars so that your employer takes a % on less of a billing rate and then you take it out tax free from your company?
This is one of the reasons why the anti immigrants and people against h-1b believe that wages are being driven down because of the games that people play.
LCA says $60,000. Your billing rate is equal to something like $125K per year but you want to run salary at $60K and take out rest in per diems.
Guess what; per diems and expense reimbursements for those working at staffing companies is not allowed within the law. The only reason your employers even pay you this is becasue if IRS asks they will just make it taxable to you.
In the LCA's that the senators, anti h-1b people look at; it looks like you guys are really getting paid $60k for a position that normally gets paid $100K. Your package may actually be $100K but on paper it is $60k.
If only people followed the law then there wouldn't be much argument at all that h-1b is driving down salaries.
-----------------------------------------------------------
To answer your question; Every time a person opens up an account; the information gets transmitted to Washington and checked against the anti money laundering database. There is now a record related to terrorism related activities. It appears that USCIS has access to it. Whether they analyze it correctly; ie; is it a brokerage account, personal account, company account, etc., I don't know. However, there has been some cases where the only way USCIS could have known about it would have been through the anit money laundering database. If they were able to capture it for a couple of people that I know of; then you can believe that they have it for everyone.
Now; in my personal situation; it was part of my job to be the account signatory on mutual fund bank accounts. I was probably the signatory on 400 different companies but it didn't come up in any USCIS check. This was a long time ago before all these databases were synched up; so things may now have changed.

Everyone thank you for the quick replies...
How about if I send in Ac 21 paperwork and still be on leave of absence from my present company which sponsored my GC. It only gives me peace of mind because in case the new job does not work out I can still come back...
I suppose it depends on your employers LOA policy, but in most cases you are not allowed to work for another employer when you have taken a leave of absence. And if it's not illegal it would certainly be unethical.

They obtained authorization to file the lawsuit. They had it prepared to file and received good response from possible plaintiffs. It was possibility of good strong case by AILA that deterred USCIS to reverse the decision without a formal lawsuit. This is exactly what we need to further our cause. USCIS could care less about other petty tricks. They will only understand language of laws/court. For that we need congress to pass laws favoring us.
Our decision to send flowers was initiated around 2-3 July and the first of flowers were booked to be sent the same day.

the talk of AILA filing a law suit was around 3 week of July and murthy about the same time. The flower campaign got quite a lot of attention and it did play its role
What we need now is not another flower campaign but something else. We could take the suggestions of other IV members, may be sending a letter is not a bad idea with some extra postage stamps to help out the USPS since they also reduced some of their services due to funding issues. How about sending few $$ donations to the military fund any public fund to be used to spending.
We need to consolidate all these threads in to a single one and start working on it and quickly.

I am not saying that it is working on the USCIS. We dont know yet coz the flowers start reaching there tommorow. If it is working on USCIS, we would know by the end of the week. Not now.
But it is working on the media.
What I am saying is we are getting a good amount of attention from a lot of newspapers - which is important to create more awareness on the plight of half a million law abiding immigrants and the backlogs they are facing.
Which newspapers are these guys? Which newspapers are covering or are interested in covering this story?

My advice to most people who do not perfectly fit into eb2 is to do the eb3 petition first (which is guaranteed to be approved). Get your place in line for the greencard.
Good suggestion.
If it is taking too long then you can try an eb2 later; if it gets approved then you will get the old priority date. If it doesn't; well you can say you tried but you didn't lost your place in line for the greencard because you still have the old eb3 in place.
As if the porting rules are going to stay the same. There are many things legit eb2 people are doing that will make this bogus porting impossible.
However, if your cases is not clear for eb2 and you try this first and it gets denied then you will lose valuable time in line for the greencard because you have to start from the beginning.
Since, last august DOL has become weird with even approving eb3 labors. Generally, attornies will put language in the eta 9089 that they will accept three years of experience for each year of bachelors degree missing (this is in line with education evaluators and uscis).
These days USCIS is trying to stick to the rules, so all people who are trying to beat the system by using wrong credentials are getting stuck. Lawyers have nothing to lose, they will make more money from you.....one from your eb3 application and two from your high risk eb2 application which will eventually be rejected.
However, this isn't the same criteria DOL uses. They will state that if a person doesn't have a degree then you are willing to accept 12 years of experience which is excessive and they deny the labor (before they were giving hard time to eb2 but not it is eb3 that they are after). So now we have an issue that DOL criteria is different then uscis critera. You use dol criteria, labor gets approved but 140 gets denied. Use uscis criteria and labor gets denied.
Now, everyone has to adjust and file eb3 labors as skilled workers and only require two years of experience (it's getting more and more messy)
I did not know unskilled workers can file for greencards in EB3. I think things are getting better and USCIS is now trying to stick to the rules.
