Well One thing is for sure ...
Every time When US Senator Chuck Grassley introduces a bill ... He and His Anti-I
Are getting succeded in two ways
1. Bill is getting passed
2. Dividing the immigrent family into narrow tiny pieces...
If you wants to protest against L1 they will do the same with US...
Guess what they can lobby more than us.. they invest more than us... you are talking about the gaints companies.
Stop fussing about L1 and start disscussing about the billl
This is what I did I sent the bill text to my friends (L1 and H1) and explaning them that this Bill is equally bad for us both and let their employer knows and act against to it...
I sent E-mail to my sanator to vote against to the bill

Lets treat good news for EB2 as good news for EB3 also.
If not today, some of us EB3 folks may want to port. So it will help more people to port and also to compensate to some extent the #s coming into EB2 pool from EB3.
Overall its a good news, and looks to be possible we see this on Murthy site also. Lets be happy.

Heard the same from my lawyer, she has changed her tune completely in 2 days. Now she says that she is hearing the same thing and is possible. They are working through the weekend and has asked me to keep my blackberry on me at all times as they will be providing emails updates every 4 hours or if and when the said bulletin is released.
Will USICS will release on the weekend?If they have any thing it should be today or they will do it on monday evening . They will do it on monday so that they are safe and cover their skin ( always say they received 100000 Applications and they are good enough for the dates to go back)

Saimrathi, you are posting the same message on all threads. Anyway, I am sure some of the media will pick up the story and write about it. I think there are benefits from this campaign. The name Immigration Voice is out there. We may get more members of our community to join us and participate in future campaigns and we can learn from experience on how to carry out future campaigns, protests etc. We had to speak out in some way on what happened to us with the USCIS Visa Bulletin fiasco. I believe it was worth it for all these reasons.

All of you guys are smart ,highly skilled immigrants.
Let me make one thing clear. Govt has defined EB categories : EB1 , Eb2 and EB3 . based on level of exp and education etc..
Now that your employer has applied for you in Eb3 even though you were qualified under Eb1 or Eb2 then govt can't do any thing. Like if you are making 70k with 5 years exp and which is ok as per your labor cert of H1b then govt cannot do any thing . Even though u r less paid compare to market.
same thing here.. If you think you can qualify for Eb2 and your employer want to apply as EB2 . It should not be issue. You are most welcome to do so. But I see common ground as HR 5882. Why dont we work hard and hard to get HR 5882 pass. One of my friend has MS from USA from top uni. with 18 years of exp from India and 3 years of exp in big 5 from USA. Still his recent employer applied under Eb3 . Should he complained to govt ???
He left current employer and found another who willing to apply under Eb2.
Unless Eb1 current Eb2 should not get any spill over same way unless Eb2 current Eb3 should not get Spill over. No matter what way you fight govt wont agree to give high priority to Eb3 compare to Eb1 or Eb2 . as from VDLRAO's post Eb2 does not need much visa to become current so if we get recaptured visa then eb2 will be current and Eb3 will get most of visa out of those recaptured visa.
CALL CALL CALL CALL unless you win.. Dont need to fight here which is not going to work out for any one.
I tend to agree with both.
You need strong arguments and they need to have legal basis. Laws cannot be changed by an agency that only follows laws.
If you are eligible for EB2 and cannot file in Eb2 and your employer filed in Eb3, it is not a strong argument. Likewise you cannot change the spillover rule without strong legal justification. You need change of law.
Visa recapture is the best option.

Smitha,
First, questions to you: What makes you visit this website silently?
Why do you even bother reading updates about ongoing GC issues?
You very well know that GC comes when the time is ripe, so you should really enjoy your sweet time instead of lurking on these forums.
Response to your meaningless and backward looking post: Iam glad you were not born during our independence days. Otherwise, you would have said the following (rephrased your post):eek:
"
I am a silent citizen of this country (read India).
Just my 2 paise... Don't think UK is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of British.
Do you think that by performing salt satyagraha you can win over britishers and get Independence????
Please try to understand their problem.
Also UK is the great. Why don't you guys just think that UK is your home country where you can emmigrate and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called Independence, then why don't you think to pack up and get out of India???????
My sincere request, please don't do strikes, quit India movements, satyagrahas, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go to UK rather than being embarrassed here in India???
Isn't it a shame on us to go for Rally to get Independence?????:D
Just think that you will get it when time comes, otherwise quit India.
Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with freedom struggle and strikes.Don't irritate UK by doing all this please.

I was told I can't travel international after filling I-485.
I can travel international only after receive the receipt of I-1485.
Is this true?
I don't see an answer to vsoni's question. I don't know the answer either. Can someone answer vsoni's question and also mine, please?
Here is my question:
I'm currently on an H1 visa status. I'd be applying for 485, EAD, AP on June 1 (my PD becomes current then. :) ). Currently I don't have a H1B visa stamp in my passport. I'm planning to leave for India immediately after applying for 485, EAD and AP and apply for visa in India.
My question is if my H1B visa gets rejected, can I come to the US on AP (someone in the US will mail me the approved AP)?

Congrats!!!! Can you please tell the SR process? Do we have to tell the reason why we want SR on the case? If yes, what was your reason to open SR? Thanks!
Bhai logon... mera bhi number aagaya... I got the the approval email and status changed to Decision (for me and my wife).
Best of luck for those waiting...
FYI: I opened SR on Aug 4th... Yesterday I got response that my GC is approved (but the status online was still Initial review) and now today morning my status changed and I got approval email and an SMS too.
Given the above, I seriously think SR works. They must have checked my SR and then approved my GC.

Do you have a question, comment, or give info about a previous post.
I don't mind, you just copied my post from another thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=83656#post83656)(minus the links).
What are you tryiing to say?
I am speaking from experience. Download the forms needed for filing 485, EAD and AP. Then when your attorney send you his/her set ( normally they do this in 2 stages - one they will send you a draft copy to verify and correct all info - some have online questionnaire; stage two - they send the final forms for you to verify and sign again - this they may do paper copy or online PDF - that cannot be edited - not fill able forms).
So, here I am providing links to all forms that I know are needed. These from uscis.gov site are fill able. Weekend is coming. Fill them, and print and keep them.
When attorney sends papers, compare yours with their and do corrections in theirs ( usually it will have stamps of the firm)
Application To Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status - I-485
Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status - I-693
There is a supplemental 693 also for vaccination records.
Biographic Information - I-325 A
There are A, B, C and other versions. I filled A
Application for Employment Authorization - I-765
Application for Travel Document - I-131
Affidavit of Support - I-134
I completed all these forms with 100% correct info- still the Paralegal - made mistakes again and again ( I can't correct the PDF as Adobe PDF writer is 1800 USD). I lost ONE precious week. Hoping to file on 06/01/2007, filed on 06/08. Learn and be wiser from experience, yours and others.

I know this topic has been thoroughly disussed above but still would appreciate some response to help me for my situation:
My husband has filed under EB3 category(chargeability India) and has a PD of Oct06. I-140 is pending and we have filed for I-485 (husband primary and me dependent), EAD and AP.
I have filed my GC on July9th and have an approved labor, and am planning to file my I-140 and I-485 as I have a charegability of Iraq.
My question is if I do file I-485 as the primary and make my husband the dependent on the application, do I still need to provide the A# number we received from his I-485 application receipt?
Can it have a negative impact on either of our GC application?
If we are asked to chose when will it be asked?
Please do reply and help me.
Thanking you in anticipation for your reply

I am not sure what AILA is up to. One Mr. Oppenheim already told them that they can start moving EB2I dates in May because there may be unused EB1s. If I am right, that is all he is told them. AILA is just looking to make the best of the statement. What are the ways O's statements can be interpreted to make a profit out of it. There is no reason for AILA to reiterate the statement now. AFter AILS is already told everyone what O told them.
AILA is now just attached a note to say that if you push PD too much, then you will get too much I-485s than you can handle. Looks almost like AILA is trying to advise the Visa Office. Well that is what lobbyists do.

My wife recently started working using EAD. The HR folks there are well aware of EAD as there are people already working there on EAD. They did not have any issues with EAD. The only thing that they were saying from the begining is that they cannot sponser H1B and also the only thing they asked is whether she work authorization in this country. When she submmited the I9 form, the HR person just remained her to send the copy of EAD everytime she renews it

It was just a minor adjustment to make room for expenses towards advocacy day.
Those who came to the advocacy event on April 4th,5th, like me, and saw the amount of money and efforts that go into reserving a conference room in a hotel next to the Capitol Hill for 4 days, printing out thousands of documents, inviting staffers/congressmen for meetings, arranging an elaborate reception for them, preparing advocacy packets for close to 400 meetings etc etc. I am amazed how IV is even able to afford the expenditures with the relatively small number donors that it has.
Kudos to IV-Core and the volunteers.
This needs to be advertised on the forums here or on the home page. Most people don't know what IV's expenses are.
A generic breakdown of costs, without going into specifics, would help members understand the expenses and provide some transparency.
It may even motivate new members to contribute more :)
