Friends I think a great injustice is being done to NSC filers , their applications are taking months for ead and ap, while TSC filers are getting ead adn AP as soon as they get receipt, do you think this will improve for NSC in future, at this time looks like august NSC filers will haveto wait till the end of the year for EAD,ap, which is sad.
Agree with you. It is sad.

Yes , the employer is Desi. who else can do something like this ? :mad:
After 6 months, can't we simple change employer on H1B and fire the previous attorney and ask him to send all the documents to the new attorney?
Can USCIS send a duplicate receipt notice to our home address on our request?
One way to get reciept notice or anything else for that matter is to file G-28 and change attorney on record. Second would be to file for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and asking for all the records. Here what I gathered from Murthy Chat
Chat User : When the employer sponsors and retains the I-485 receipt without processing the EAD/AP, can an individual apply for an EAD mentioning the receipt number without jeopardizing GC processing?
Attorney Murthy : Yes, a person may file the EAD with just the receipt number on the Form I-765 without jeopardizing the I-485 processing. The EAD and AP are merely incidental benefits and are not directly connected with the I-485 processing or adjudication.

I have sent letter twice. They forward it as it is to USCIS and send a reply back that it has been forwarded to USCIS for action. Then you receive a letter or call from USCIS that your case cannot be considered unless your PD becomes current.

nmdial I dont think the registrar will issue a birth certificate based on affidavit from the parents.
Usually for people who dont have birth registered at birth or hospital records we have to obtain a non-availibility certificate from the local authority. Along with this certificate we submit a notarized affidavit signed by one/both the parents. Now we have learnt that this affidavit has to be signed in the presence of the registrar. Hopefully that should be ok then.
My parents had submitted a notarized affidavit to the registrar (death and birth) of the local municipality and obtained my birth certificate. That was in 2006, the rules may have changed by now.

That's good for you. As long as you understand the pro's and con's of invoking the H1B as well. The con's mostly depend on whether you have already exhausted your 6 years of permitted H1B.
I spoke with USCIS again this morning and this time got hold of a more helping IO.

For Indian immigrants in DC, this is a great opportunity. There are things Vayalar Ravi can do for you.
1. One major issue is totalization agreement between USA and India so that you can enjoy social security money which you paid into the system here. If the Government is so concerned about NRIs, this is the first thing they have to do.
2. NRIs can not buy Agricultural land in India. Ask him why not? Local builders buy the agri land, rezone it and sell it to you for a profit. Why is Indian Government protecting middle men?
Think of some more. You will get them.

Hi Guys,
My LCA has Computer Software Engineer as job title.I have 5 years of Experience as Oracle functional consultant.Currently I'm working as Oracle consultant.My 140 is approved and got my EAD card.In jan 2008 it will be 180 days of filing 485.I want to change my career towards IT Sales.
I have an offer from an American Staffing company as a Technical Recruiter.The job responsibilities include hiring Software Engineers.But the job title is different from my LCA.I want to join this company using EAD in jan 2008 and apply AC 21.Today I have checked with my Lawyer this is what she says"
In instances such as this, when we send the letter to the USCIS regarding AC21, we include the following details with reference to the job title. � Although the job title differs, the job duties are substantially the same. The title used by the company is their internal designation for this position."
She says that i will be able to work as Technical Recruiter using EAD.Any one can suggest me on this?I have very little knowledge about AC 21 and how it works
Thanks in advance

Update:
The Doctor admitted his mistake.
He completely forgot to mark the TB test earlier.
He was ready to back date to avoid more inconveniance to me.
But I told him to be sincere in all aspects.
I basically forced him to give my wife a TB test again and also the x-ray.
Now the plan is to submit all this information with a nice letter which states that the doctor had forgotten things last time etc etc.
Hopefully they will mark the case as - resume processing.
I also had some issues with my medical exam. Lesson learned is to have civil surgeon verify and double verify
the information entered in the exam.
Best luck to you.

Yes, I am definitely for this idea that we should petition/ask USCIS to change the rules to allow those with approved I-140 to be able to file I-485 while their PD is not yet current even if we would pay US$5,000.:rolleyes:
I would second this proposal. This will definitely ease some of the pains of retrogression.

Exactly....I don't say this a trick by USCIS to divert our attention but that will definitely be the result. Everyone here (except with the older priority dates) will face retrogression very soon. Please try to understand this folks.
Everyone will file for 485 and will get stuck in the backlog, before you know if, it will be Oct-08 and then they will scrap the old system and make everybody file under the point system. Which of course would be a nightmare as the USCIS or one of its derivatives would not be able to cope with the flood of application. At the end of the day all of us would be 1000s of dollar down and would still be posting here complaining about the process.
Bottom line is, with a limit of 20 amendments, one can be assured there won't be one looking out for us out on the fringes.

I got this RFE more than an year back. The birth certificate that I had provided did not have my name and just said "male child". So I had to provide the following secondary information-
1) An affidavit from my grand parents. Two different ones saying that they were present at the time of my birth.
2) Affidavit from the Doctor that he was the person who performed the operation.
3) Government issued Ids like driving license showing complete name with a picture.
Hope this information helps.

So after more than a month of sleepless nights, thanks to Immigration Voice looks like my I 485 application is back on track.
A recap of my situation:
Last month I got an email from USCIS-CRIS stating that my I 485 was withdrawn. After being in this country for close to 10 years and in the immigration queue for more than 7 years why would I withdraw the application ??? I did not withdraw my application !!!
It took me more than a month to find out the reason behind the withdrawal..trust me it was not easy..and guess what ....It was my Attorney who had withdrawn the application in Error. Now what ... I call USCIS multiple times.. talk to many different IO's .. some of them patient and try to help.. some extremely rude.. but all of them had only one thing to say... they cannot help!!..... I get an Info Pass... no help there either.. I set up an emergency meeting with my attorney (one of the large Immigration Law Firms) .. nothing...they accept their mistake tell me that they will do all they can .. but no assurance that they will reinstate the case .. limited forward movement.... things look gloomy and bleak..no one can help me.
Then I called Immigration Voice on the number that is listed on the site and left a voice mail. Promptly got a call back I spoke to a Core member who understood the gravity and urgency of the situation and swiflty moved forward and got in touch with their contacts in the government. The Core member also put me in a conference call with the person who was going to look into my case, I was so relieved that I could explain the situation first hand.
I got a call today and I was told that after evaluating my case my file has been reopened and they have mailed an offical notice regarding the same and I should get it in a few days. *Fingers crossed until I get this notice in hand *
The IV core was extremely sensitive to my situation and were very responsive and extremly helpful. I cant thank Immigration Voice enough for helping me resolve this issue in a quick manner.
I have registered to be a recurring contributing member and I intend to be an active member of this group.
My lessons from this crazy experience are:
- Never trust your attorney, always ask for a copy of any letter/document they send to USCIS on your behalf
- There is no organization besides IV out there that is looking out for the interests of the Immigrant Community.
- We need to strengthen IV in all ways we can, we need to be active.
- And as so many members have already said "We are IV." If we want things to be better "WE" need to do something about it.
I urge members who are still contemplating becoming active members to evaluate their options and to become active and contributing members of IV.
- Peace
ps:
Another point I would like to add is that no other organization has the kind of reach and the credibility with USCIS as IV has as far as representing the true interests of the Immigrant Community goes. IV is a huge asset we have and we should work towards strenthening it.

Its sad situation, people are walking away or feeling bad becaus
of IVs decision about I485 filing. Couple of core members already
file 485 and still they support it. Even I filed my I485 2 years ago.
There are 2 things here.
1) Think about people who file their labors 3 or 4 years ago and got I140 approved or in the filing process. If a lay off or something happens they will lose everything. All these years wait, frustration everything... whereas if you have file I485 you have a chance to shift jobs. Their only chance is to file I485.
2) 485 filed people think they will be affected. Thats why they are opposing it. But the point is that since the whole thing is going based on priority date,
it doesn't matter much. With present situations if a person has a PD older than you, he/she will get GC before you for sure (90%). Even if his /hers LC is still pending.( Because PD will move very slow. For EB3 to advance an year it would take 2 years. By the time all the old LCs will be cleared.) I dont see anything to be concerned here. Because we all are fucked up so badly :) :) :) :). Take a deep breath and think about it. The only way out is to collect a ton of money and lobby very hard.
So I request you to work actively, induct more members, contribute
more money to our cause. We will win soon man!!!!!
I made a one time contribution myself but I have a feeling that IV is going away from the goal of increasing EB visas and just focusing on the 485 filing.Many people that have contributed earlier feel that by prioritizing the 485 filing over increase of EB visas, IV has gone away from atleast some of stakeholders .The stakeholders were promised initially that increase of EB visas would be a top priority or atleast on a even keel with any other objectives, but now we are in phased approach.I have talked to lot of people and the feeling is same.

Thanks for sharing the link, I will go through this.
It is not about money. I have absolutely no problem giving even 100$s per month for the cause if I know how my hard earned money is being spend. Actions like deleting threads, banning users just for asking reports, makes people uncomfortable. Have you seen the financial report at Eb3 Chinese Financial Report - ��›-�‰�-��Œ�š秿�-‘�•�-‹信�‰˜�Ÿ��‡‘ (http://www.eb3chinese.org/5.html).
BTW, Hari if IV doesn't show you the links to donar forum, how will you know what you are missing ...
just my 2 cents.

I can't agree more.
Many IV members post on this forum as if it some desi networking site.
Today IV is our banner for our Immigration woes. Maybe it is the only one. If anti-immigrants need to know what is happening in our world, they have a single source i.e. IV.
So whenever somebody posts something on this forum, please be reminded that this forum is a favorite among anti-immigrants too. Every post on this forum is indirectly addressing anti-immigrants.
Please be wise about what you post on this forum.

So does that mean that if one's I-485 is rejected (Has no luck with MTR either) -
Then he cannot continue after his current H1-B expires (After 0 to 3 years)?
Going back to his home country is the only option?

Does it mean that these developments or should we call no developments on the high skilled immigration front in the developed countries have an underlying message for all of us? Return back to your home countries.... In USA, one positive thing was that it has been 'the melting pot' of people of all cultures and nationality to come together. I will give you an example: my friends 2 year old says that he is an American and not his native origin. In UK, you will still find 3rd generation people telling their nationality to be of their native oigin.
In USA, the immigrants intergrated with the society but in Europe, the message is clear, you are here that is ok, but live in the other side of the city and have limited opportunities. If Sensenbrenner and co have their way, US would be on the same path.
