    Well, I am TOO depressed about the BEC performance. I know too many people are in same situation but I find myself "helpless" and at least i want to SCREAM......:mad:

    The moment you realize that the US is not the end of the world, you will stop feeling depressed.:cool:

    Up until July 29, 2007 (incl.) when sorting of files was going on, NSC did a load sharing of files with TSC. (and btw they did not look at where ones' I-140 is adjudicated when making the selection, it was random. I know several such cases)

    This in my opinion is a very good way of making sure adjudicating resources are kept in balance at both centers.
    Like somone quiet rightly pointed out it is akin to the old Labor Certification process where some states were way faster than others (less demand faster process).

    In the direct filing which started July 30, 2007 the load sharing has a great possibilty of being tilted one way or the other (though maybe not as much as old LC's). They have made a geographical distribution and not one that factors # of applications traditionally received from states.

    On the other hand, may be USCIS has figured that the particular geographical jurisdiction produces the right load sharing between NSC and TSC!

    - Flew into YYZ (with family), completed landing process last week
    - Have expired H1-B stamp but approved I-797s
    - Flew back this week on AVR
    - No questions asked on both sides
    - Stayed in Canada for a week. Its an amazing country with mix of good points from Europe (relaxed life, warm people ...) and USA (cleanliness, immigrant friendly ...) and a stable economy (atleast this far...). Overall, liked Canada alot
    - Some people say, "its sheer luck", but many friends have done this without any problem. I would say "its sheer bad-luck" if anyone got into trouble doing this
    - I would not suggest giving up the Canadian PR based on just rumors and no facts
    - Have pending 140 and 485
    - Have APs too, but did not use them

    Thanks for posting your experience. Did you apply for your SIN and your PR card? Do you (or anyone else) have any info on how that's done or what the procedure is?

    When did u apply for your ead? i am in the same boat and have filed for paper based EAD. hope to get my fp notice soon.

    I applied for my EAD and AP renewal on the second week of May 2008. Again, I am not sure if EAD or AP renewal triggered the FP notice. Good luck to you.

    In Fox News this afternoon, the senator has explicitly said that the Chicago lady does not have any "constituional rights" since she is not American citizen. Go figure what they think about us.


    Congressman is absolutely worng. I hope they give such statements more and more and put their big foot into their even bigger mouth. once a h1/f1 etc visa has been issued to an individual, that individual has the right to be treated the same way as any other american till the time of his/her stay in the USA.

    - This is my understanding and in no way a legal statement..

    Did you know I-140 dates are prtable from X to Y after 140 is approved? I am sorry to hear your pain, but you can check if you can atleast maintain your priority dates.

    Are you sure about that...never heard of I140 portability. If it were true...why would there be such a big ho ha about AC-21.

    Iam a novice at this, and am by no means contradicting your point...just skeptical..

    I think we should be careful about what we (Employment based immigrats, esp. those who are stuck in backlogs) support. I definitely do not support any reform that does not give us priority or does not eliminate employment based immigration backlogs.

    I also think green card lottery, chain immigration, and refugee green cards should be eliminated and those visa numbers should be used for employment based immigrants because all these people can immigrate just like us through employment. We contribute more to the American society and should be given priority. I guess when we become American someday, we would like immigrants who contribute to our community too. Isn't that right? :)

    Hi,

    Yesterday I got the response for my SR opened on 10/16 for still not receiving FP notice yet. The letter says that the processing on my case has been delayed since the background check on my application is still open. Please contact after 6 months if you still haven't heard back from us. My assumptions are:

    1. Since they did not mention any where in the letter about biometrics, they are talking about my 485 petition and not my finger printing notice. Guess they misunderstood why I opened the SR with them. Does that make sense?

    2.Is it possible that I haven't received FP notice since my background check is still in progress? I thought that these were two independent process...

    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Thanks.

    Apahilaj,

    I got the SR response letter saying I contacted them and they are responding by saying that I should wait for the FP if I have not received one yet. So basically I am where I was 2 months ago.

    If you read my earlier posts, I did have doubts that FP and NC may have some connection together.

    But I think this seems more of a glitch in the TSC system in generation of FP. I mean either its NC or glitch that is causing this delay. Anyway, the NSC at least generates one for you after you speak to an IO. We are unfortunate in that also.

    Please help.

    I am so truly sorry to hear of the passing of this gentleman and why there just has to be a compassionate visa introduced.

    Well, I am a legal immigrant from Mexico, I have an MBA, my race is white (100% European as are more than 10 million Mexicans) and I do not wear a "sombrero".

    I thought that this forum was for us all to help each other and not enter these types of useless arguments. I cannot believe that the posters of these racist messages, who are Indian, are falling into the same sterotypes that Americans fall into in regards to India. You are doing that with Mexico. I have been to India, I urge you to go to Mexico and see for yourselves what the country is like before passing judgment.

    Mexico has 100 million people vs. India's 1 Billion plus, yet Mexico's GDP is essentially equal to India's (India = 775,410, Mexico=768,437). All the people that you see immigrating here are of course the poor and uneducated who can come here in large numbers because of the simple fact that (hello people!) we share a land border with the U.S.A. (What would happen if India shared a land border with the U.S.A. - One can only imagine! Instead of 7 million illegal Mexicans, we would have 400 million illegal Indians here!) I invite you to visit Mexico, where in some parts you will think you are in Sweden. And again, yes! have been to India!

    We are misusing this forum with stereotypes and you guys are turning this into an Indian-only forum. (WHich is a turnoff to me and many more) I know the majority of us in here are Indian, but if I continue to feel unwelcome here I will just take my donations elsewhere.

    Among the very wonderful suggestions that many have given, I can tell you from my own experience, being a trained teacher of doing breathing exercises leading to meditation every day for the past 9 years, the whole perception and observation of our mind drastically changes! Not only that, the changes in our consciousness are so deep, the effect is profound and permanent. This comes from my own experential level as well as those I teach.

    It is very difficult to train our mind thro' our mind and hence the breath which is the connection between the inner and outer world comes into the picture. Thro' our breath we can relax this mind to levels much deeper than sleep. The result of soaking our minds into this relaxation changes our whole perception, observation and expression and that too effortlessly !!

    Seldom do we dive deep into the depths of our being. There is a great science behind our thought patterns and depression and why and when we get them and the method to unbound ourselves from these patterns.

    "There is an art to gain the ability in life-it's very simple, just a skill-the ability to free your mind of the past, to free your mind of the future fears, and to be able to play with every situation that is in front of you."
    - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

    That's nice to hear. Can he guess what would be the likely outcome? If the judge just takes USCIS/DOS to task then it doesn't help us.

    1. Will they make the July visa bulletin current again?
    2. If not, will they allow everyone to file for EAD and AP?
    3. If neither #1 nor #2, will there be any financial reimbursement?

    Regards,
    Jayant

    It gets interesting. Doesn't it? Even if the court agrees that this is a fiasco and would like to compensate the beneficiaries by allowing us to file for 485, it would be in direct violation of the law that " there must be a number available on the day of filing ".We don't have any numbers. Do we? My point is, will a judicial system go out of the box and allow us to file when there are no visa numbers available? The only way is get numbers and make every one file and the only way for that is to undo what the USCIS has done in the last 2 weeks of June. Just my thoughts. I am ready to take anything positive out of this because I have least hopes pegged on the law suit.

    I've seen some posts here and people complaining that the GC process has a stranglehold on their lives.

    I've been struggling for the GC for the simply reason that my wife can work. Now she's finally a qualified dentist and someone is sponsoring her visa. She could have worked in the last 5 years .. as an assistant and made money .. and done some work. But since I did not have an EAD for her .. that wasn't possible.

    But our lives were not held ransom by the GC process. We travelled a lot .. pretty much have seen more of this country than even the natives :). Read, watched movies, socialised .. I think to a large extent we had a lot of fun. Agreed that the process is painful.. and you are held hostage.
    But at the end of the day it is your life ..
    Simple options are:
    1. Wait .. since there is no other alternative
    2. Push through IV activities .. so that you are involved
    3. Check some other country ..
    4. Go back to India. (not saying in a bad way)

    At the end of the day .. peace of mind is more important.
    The only reason 99% of the people are here is becuase 1$=44.5Rs.
    Had it been 1:1.. I would be on the next flight back home .. enjoying family, friends, bhelpuri, cricket , 10000 festivals, neigbors trooping in .. etc etc .

    There are always answers.

    I undestand that the process is frustrating .. and I am also hugely frustrated .. battling lawyers, HR, the process itself. But what the hell .. life goes on. You meet people in your situation .. you see some of them getting through the process. There is always hope .. just look for it.

    Well, my old carcass is getting too aged to handle that anymore. So now I ease off the sauce and go to the gym.
    But I do also try to notice and enjoy the silliness of the every day human condition. (Still to this day, I'm not sure why I mow my lawn, for instance.) A sense of humour is very important. Recognition that there are others less fortunate. And stay connected with friends socially.
    And also recognize that fact that a green card won't make me magically happier beyond the immediate jubilation. Yes it is good to regain the rights we lost coming to the US. To speeches I'll still smile, nod, even clap and think "what a bunch of nonsense!" for privacy is the true freedom that you still have. But I'll still work for a living. I'll still put on a dress shirt to impress clients I'll never see. I'll still try to spend more time creating than managing. Not simply because my h1b legally requires me to do so, but because managing is intellectually trivial. Or one could say that managing is the work of man, creation is the work of the gods. ; )

    I never said we should keep quiet about it. I was only responding to an earlier post reagarding 'EB2 - elitist protectionism'. Just like you are within your rights to look after yourself, so is everybody else - welcome to capitalism. I have always maintained that going down the road of EB3 versus EB2 is detrimental to this group. Your post only adds to this.

    In anycase I dont know how splitting visas equally between EB2I and EB3I can pass the smell test even if DOS were to implement it - there is a categorization that is already established AFTER the initial handout is made on an equal basis. The split completely negates it - at least to the extent any EB2ROW spill over is directed to EB3 when EB2 I and C are already retrogressed.

    Lets not swear by capitalism but selectively resort to socialism.

    Yes, you quoted Visa bulletin which says DOS "may" not to adhere to country limits in distributing spill overs .

    is there anything that says that distribution further has to be done in a particular way ??

    I have not found any . Probably there is none otherwise DOS could not have gotten away with "vertical" and "Horizontal" flip flops.

    In that light every comment about EB*->EB? , failing smell tests are speculative at best.

    You are yet to respond to my question of why EB3-I and recapture lobbying efforts cannot proceed simultaneously and How EB3-I lobbying undermines recapture effort.

    Good point, has anybody asked this to any lawyer ? Can we challenge this in court ? This is the definition of judiciary review...If we can proove the country cap to be unconstitutional..

    Judicial Review is when the Supreme Court reviews an act of Congress to see if it is Constitutional.
    Judicial Review is the power of the Supreme Court to declare a law unconstitutuion (violation against the laws of the Constitutuion).


    Anything that has language to exempt from quota is bound to run into severe resistance. However one thing here in US is to challenge any ambiguous negativity in courts. Has there been any instance of challenging country quota in the court as discrimination as some people brought it up earlier. Remember laws can also be changed through courts also, not just legislation.

    Even though we are far from Citizenship test, I know there are 3 branches of government,
    Judicial, Legislative and Executive.

    We do not seem to have much hope in the Legislative(Senate/House) and Executive(president) what are the chances of using that approach.

    Does section 201 mean that those with advanced degrees from US Universities are exempt from the 3 year requirement? This clarification is critical because of the 3 years in the RELATED field clause. I do not believe any of the other bills incorporating similar provisions have made this distinction for US advanced degree holders vs advanced degree holders from other countries. I believe all other bills impose the 3 year RELATED field restriction for ALL advanced degree holders.

    If the 3 year RELATED field clause does not exist for US advanced degree holders in STEM, it would give relief to many members.

    Kindly clarify.

    same way you prove that in the case of I-140... by writing up letters exlaining job duties... and showing offer letter, pay stubs, company tax returns and/or quarterly tax receipts, client contracts... etc etc etc... again: what is your true point? why do you suspect that this is difficult?

    Its not ability to pay issue? The main point is to show that job is real, and bonafine.

    May I ask, how do you plan to demonstate that job offered in self employment is same/similar to I-140 job and it is bonafide job offer?

    If Microsoft with all the money and power can't get visa increase, it's naive to assume that we can do that in one shot. Let's just fry the small fish first.

    No one can realistically claim a moral high ground here - neither EB2 nor EB3. and that includes me too! Each one of us here are looking for self interest, period. No amount of calls to empathy/sympathy/solidarity will change that.

    For example, I'll get behind the whole "restore the old overflow logic for EB3" campaign in a heartbeat if we can have a consensus that EB3 will share the resulting overflow with EB3 other workers category too. EB3 other workers category is typically in worse shape than EB3-I so all the arguments presented here for EB3 (length of wait and frustration, unfairness of it all etc.) apply equally or more to the EB3 other workers. Any takers for this proposal?

    So please see all this for what it is and stop the endless debate. You can not realistically expect EB2s to support any campaign that directly harm their interests. EB3s of course have every right to run whatever campaign they wish but also accept that it *will* split active IV membership (rare as it is) along those lines vertically. That's why the calls to stick to "common minimum program" of visa re-capture. Only those campaigns that don't have conflict of interests will be able to draw whole IV membership behind them. It's human nature - plain and simple.

    Agreed. The resource(Visa numbers) is fixed and scarce. so it is natural that everyone will fight with whatever they can to access them , unless the resource is expanded (Recapture)

    EB3-I will be foolish to expect EB2-I's to help them out .

    IMO, IV has sensed this and maintained a dignified silence . They really cannot take a position on this and still function as objective forum .

    I think none of us should force them either ...IV has larger objective of increasing the pie and we should all support it.

    Where i disagree is why should EB3-I lobbying should split IV . I see no reason in that.

    @desi3933:
    Permanent means job that is for for a term of indefinite or unlimited duration.
    http://www.uscis.gov/err/B3%20-%20Outstanding%20Professors%20and%20Researchers/Decisions_Issued_in_2004/MAR232004_01B3203.pdf
    This definition is only for researchers/academics in the document. Question is, why can't self-employment be called a "permanent" job? After all, that job is of indefinite or unlimited duration.

    AC-21 is not just for changing GC employer.
    Yes, AC-21 i not just for changing the GC employer. The Yates memo was published in 2001 with a few amendments later.
    Do not confuse existing H-1B job with future GC job.

    H-1B is linked to LCA (Temp Job) (http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/h-1b.cfm) Note: The link clearly says
    If all H-1B jobs are not permanent, then your definition that a "permanent job is for a term of indefinite or unlimited duration" fails. Please decide what you want to say.

    On the other hand, I-140 is linked to Permanent Labor Certification (http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/perm.cfm) (aka GC labor)
    "Permanent Labor Certification" does not mean the job has to be "permanent" (you're again *assuming*, no?) It could also mean LC for "permanent" residency!

    Let's NOT be hypocrites. We are just venting out our frustrations of these never ending Visa Bulletin life...
    We all know that we respect each other and value much more than these occasional emotional outbursts. Donors or Non Donors, USCIS treats us as same shit.

    My take would be, if people want to Donate or find that their Donation could help their cause, they will Donate. We can only request people to Donate and put forth our 'Selling points', which I think Pappu, Ameya and others are doing it already.

    Please don't stoop down to the level of hating each other on the basis of 'Donor' Vs 'Non-Donor'.

    I honestly, think IV should rename that to 'Paid member' or 'Privileged' or 'Subscriber', IMHO, it's NO DONATION. People Donate because they expect something in return...we all want other to donate so that we can have bigger impact, but this is definitely NOT the way to go about it.

    Hope it makes sense.

    Cheers!

    I landed in Jan08 thru Windsor border in Michigan. I drove in my car to CA. You'll go to the immigration officer who'll check your landing docs, and then ask you to sign the landing document. Then show them the proof of funds. I had a cashier's check for the amount. Then you'll be asked for an address in CA. If asked tell them you are planning to settle at the address. If you say you are returning to US, they'll not give you the PR card saying when you come to live in CA they'll issue it. I made that mistake. They stamp your passport with the entry stamp. Without a PR card you can't enter CA at an airport. Your only option is driving to CA thru a land border. They'll let you in with just the stamp on the PP. Fortunately I live close to Windsor border.
    As someone pointed out, you'll then go to customs, where they'll check the goods you are bringing or plan to bring later. There are 2 different forms for 'bringing goods with you' and 'goods to follow'. Make sure you fill in all the item in your home on the 'goods to follow' with some details like model number, etc. If you are not planning to live to CA, don't fill anything on the 'bringing goods form.

    Madam Rice is trying to divert the issue by telling skilled professional from all over the world wants to come here....This is not the issue.....



    they want you here. Then they want to keep you in the trap to pay you way less than the market, and ruin your career (no promotions, no career change, nothing - just keep hacking away at the computer, and the boss takes the credit/money).

    That is the way slavery started in USA. From a practice called indentured labour.

    Is this OK. Will all the 3 receipt numbers be printed on the back of one cheque. Please let me know if anyone of you have done the same. Thank you.

    I love my country and want to go back, but it is in the hands of rapists and looters and I suspect it will remain that way...either I become a Gandhi and spend my life liberating it, or live year with my eyes & ears closed...

    It is actually funny to watch you guys fight over the US vs India.

    Let me ask you this:

    -If you didn't choose to study medical or IT and never came to US, would you be thinking the same (problems in India and reasons not to settle in India etc) as you are thinking today?
    -If US government didn't have the provision of employment based GC, would you be thinking the same as you are thinking today(problems in India and reasons not to settle in India etc) ?


    The answer of the questions above is either YES or NO. I'm sure that many of us will answer these questions as NO.

    And if the answer is NO and and you are still counting problems in India and trying to justify your stay in US, then I'm afraid my friends you guys are being opportunistic.

    No matter how bad it is, that country made you capable of using this forum. You shouldn't backbite and find problems and issues in that country. You should rather use your energy in solving problems in India. Don't say it is not possible. Nothing is impossible.

    You can send emails/letters/flowers to senators and officials here for GC, but I'm sure that there will only be handful of you; who actually tried to send their feedback complaints to Indian government and its officials.

    I can go on and on, but I leave this thought with you guys and end my post here, as I know that you got the point.

    FYI, people who sent applications on Jun 22th to NSC and their I-140 were approved at TSC, have not received receipts yet.

    NSC is around 10 days ahead TSC issuing receipts.

    I would say, July filers be patient.

    Good luck !

    I am bringing these out not because I am opposed to equal treatment of folks on H1/ EAD etc - but because there are legitimate arguments both ways and unless we can prove unequivocally that there is gross miscarriage of justice in denying us this right and on the other hand - there is no disadvantage caused to anybody else by granting us this right - this idea is unlikely to see the light of the day

    while i am happy to be proven wrong - i do not see anyone in this forum having a stomach for a protracted legal battle starting with lower courts and going all the way to Supreme Court - going back to my previous point - we do not see this as a "larger than me" cause

    Incorrect words used by me, I did not mean that supreme court gave authority, but that supreme court did not find that discrimination based on country of origin for immigrants violates the basic tenents of this countries constitution.

    I am not saying that this is a case on employers. If at all it would be a case against the discriminatory laws of the congress which allow someone to stay indefinitely but, do not allow them to work.

    If a case like this is filed, I do not think, I do not see it going to be a proteacted battle. If enough coverage is given, the lawmakers might sit down and fix the problem or atleast have a quick temporary fix. Maybe even lawmakers might not be needed, just the DOJ would might update the rules (which it is allowed in case it determines that the laws are conflicting). Most important of all, this will bring the issues on the front from being a laggard.

    Dear Mr. President:

    This email is to register a strong protect against the visa bulletin released for Jun-09. In the tough time of 2009 that USA is facing, you are trying to do everything you can to protect the futures of the citizens of your country and I admire you for that. I would also like to point out that the visa bulletin pushes back dates for EB2 Indians to Jan-00 which virtually means no green card for Indians unless they are in EB1 category. I have spent almost 9 years in this country, legally. In 2005, I initiated the process for green card through EB immigration. While many others from different countries such as Europe, Asia and also China came here much after I have and contributed less than I have, they have gotten their green cards much sooner than I have and some of them have even become citizens. When I say I, a lot of my fellow citizens also face this unjust separate queue for Indians.

    Please help me understand as to how someone from country A having a longer queue than country B coupled with an indefinite time wait is a fair and equitable treatment?

    I understand that you feel sensitive to protect jobs of Americans in these tough economic times, however; it is beyond comprehension that while citizens of all other countries are being welcomed with no wait for green card in employment based category that there are virtually no green cards left for any Indian, even for those who have stayed here longest.

    My message may or may not ever reach you but, I wanted to register a strong protest against unjust treatment meted out to me in the area of immigration.


    Sincerely,

    The other day you spent the entire day answering every question(s) people had. I even told my wife that our good friend is going to take all our worries out pretty soon. EB2 will no longer going accept porting so we will go faster and then guess what you didn't even file the law suit yet....you let us down!!

    I have a humble suggestion for you, please concentrate on your work and read some books on ethics and leave the GC processing to CIS.

    This is weird... It does'nt look like you are joking, so are you are indirectly demanding and taunting a Mr anonymous to take some action?

    action from which you will benefit directly and is also something which you feel strongly about but will not do anything by yourself? :eek:

    Right, my bad! I was not referring to the Employment Letter for GC job. I was referring to the Current Employment Letter which is not required as initial evidence. Should have clarified.

    Thanks,
    Jayant

    So you were not referring to Employment Letter for GC job, rather Current Employment Letter while discussing how to file I-485.
    GREAT!!! I hope you are not filing your I-485 application yourself.

    What is the Current Employment Letter has to do with I-485?

    Good Luck.
