    We should not worry about the flowers, they are going to the right place, we should be rather happy that atleast the message reached USCIS.

    I thought he might say something stupid about the Hindu Prayer disruption in Senate yesterday. However he didn't bring it up. But the way it's been going his "faux pas" (anti-Italian remarks during Italian parade in Little Italy, anti-Latino, anti-Indian and anti-Chinese remarks such as "socio-ethnic interest groups", "foriegn" and "cheap labor", "Communist China" and ofcourse the 7000 lepers in 3 years...) are all building up and sooner or later something will give.

    Pappu/or anyone else,

    Can you please answer questions I have mentioned below?

    I have two labors

    PERM EB2

    Labor: Certified
    PD: Dec 06
    I-140: Filed in Premium Processing on May last week
    RFE Received: June 1st
    RFE Response Sent: June 6th
    Status: No updates from USCIS

    I-485: I can file based on the pending I-140

    ========
    RIR EB3
    PD: Jan 2004
    Labor: Noy yet Certified. Based on my case analyst at DBEC it should be certified by June 30th.

    ==========

    Question:

    1. If I file I-485 with EB2 labor. Can I use EB3 PD later for getting GC faster?

    2. Does PD matters once I-485 is filed?

    3. If I file I-485 with EB2 and then due to some reason my I-140 gets rejected what options I have?

    I will be handwriting the letter tonight and will be sent in a day or two.

    Also had asked 3 of my colleagues to write a letter.

    Way to go IV. I am already seeing this as a successful action.

    I have not seen the language of the bill. Has anyone seen the exact language of the bill?

    Should this bill become law (in its present form without any changes ) will the new provisions apply to ANY H1B application (i.e new applications, Transfer due to change of employer , H1B extension application with current employer) or just to NEW H1B applications and not to H1B extensions filed by the currentemployer.

    There are hundreds of H1B applicants who do not have EAD but have approved PERM or approved PERM + approved I-140 and will be filing for extensions.

    The H1B resttrictions in the TARP law only apply to new H1B filings.

    Link (http://www.immigration-law.com/Temporary%20II.html) for full text of the bill.

    I had the misfortune of travelling thru London in December on my way to Mumbai. After I purchased my tickets, I learnt that I need a transit visa (TV) for UK. (Who is going to tell them (UK) that they are no longer the center of attraction esp. if you have lived and worked in US). Anyway, as per the rules, you need a transit visa if you don’t have a valid US visa. (Note: If you have AP, and don’t have a valid visa, you still need a TV).

    I went to their site and did all the research to get a TV. Good god Heavens! Has anyone filled out their painful form for a TV? Besides asking the usual details, they get extremely nosy. They want to know each and everything about you. Where you work, what money do you make, name of your wife, kids and their citizenship status, name of your father and mother and where they were born, their birth date, how much money you have and where the money is (stocks, bonds, CDS) etc. etc. While filling up the form I realized that, even my future father in law did not pose so many probing questions to me. (Please note: I don’t mind answering these silly questions for a regular visa, but for the damn TV, it is certainly overkill).

    Anyway to cut the long story short. The regular cost of TV is/was $92. However, when I filled up the application form they were asking for $184. (The satisfaction of getting a good deal on the tickets was quickly evaporating). I assumed I must have made a mistake in thinking the cost to be $92 and reluctantly paid $184. Next it was time to fill the application for my wife and answer the idiotic questions again. You should have seen the “I will kill you right now” look on my wife’s face after I woke her up in the middle of night and asked details about her parents. After I filled up the form, to my surprise, now they were asking $274 for visa fees. It was already 2:00 am and I have no choice but to painfully enter my credit card details, hoping that they would realize the mistake in their recon process and would reimburse the difference. (Of course, I was only dreaming).

    It is now almost the end of January and I have still now received any money from them. I have tried sending several email to the emb(ass)y, but none of their emails work. I get bounced email for all the emails that I have used. I have tried calling them and left messages and no one has called back. I have send emails to my credit card company and the people who processed the payment and none of them have been able to help me. There is a way to talk to someone in the emb(ass)y, but you need to dial a 900 number, which BTW costs $2.49 per minute. Throwing good money after bad is not an option.

    I just wanted to share this experience with you and remind you of the pain ahead, if you are travelling thru UK and don’t have a valid US visa. Personally, even if they had charged me the regular $92, I will still use other options to travel next time. The amount of time wasted in filling the crappy application form, going to NY, (starting Dec doing your finger prints) is simply too much to handle. Visiting your motherland/fatherland is a very special occasion and all these intermediate steps certainly water down the “good feeling” that you experience during the days leading to your trip.

    I haven’t given up my quest for a refund, but now, not only I want my money back I would like to bring back home the Koh-i-noor too.

    It's very sad that you and your family had to go throught this. I was in the same boat two years back. They even fingerprint you during the transit and they have special baggage scan at India when you return. But you know what things have changed. No body cares now for them when they come to visit India. This December when I was at domestic airport(small city), the porter came to me rather than going to a firang lady. Reason : desis give more tips now, like give 100/200Rs and the goras pay 1 USD :) and they know the maths.
    Other incident, before boarding , a firang missed her baggage tag and when security lady asked for it, this firang was fuming and said it's their mistake. Now this lady cop, in her simple English said, Madam, please get out of this line, go to security check again, and get the tags, otherwise you won't be able to board the plane.
    No one treats them as VIP any more back in India.

    Guys, this discussion is not going anywhere..

    I would request stop replying on this thread and let it archive. If someone has to report the fraud he would have done it long time back.. this thread is just to provoke others and thats it.

    I am not in support of any fraud but also not in support of provoking anyone for no reason.
    There is a well documented process in each organization and in government on how to report the violation. If someone has any issue please follow the guidelines and do the needful.


    Read between the lines and you have just confirmed my translation.

    Have a good day!

    Questions:
    1. On application form I-765, Question No 11.Have you ever file for EAD?

    I have mentioned it as "Yes" (I have applied for my OPT)

    2. On application form I-765, Question No 11. Date(s)? Which dates to be used, please specify ?

    (EAD notice)

    3. On application form I-485, page2, part 3, What is Nonimmigrant visa number? Is it the RED number (8 digit) on visa or the control number(14 digit)

    4. On application form G-325A, Biographical information. Applicatan's residence last five years. List present address first. I have specified address for three years and six lines are filled and I could not show the last five years, so how should I show last five years of my residence on the form (should I attach a paper with the remaining address, please specify)

    5. On application form G-325A, Biographical information. Applicant: Be sure to put your name and Alien Registration Number in the box outlined by heavy border below.

    Living in the Pessimistic world. Dumb me.
    47K + 5500*2.1 ~ 58000 visas...for EB2 I to make it current. coldcloud-> you cut short the waiting time by half ( from 10 years to 5 years? :))
    I believe you dont need to multiply all of the 485 by 2.1 as already applied I485 will include the family?

    Hello every one,
    I am starting this thread for all of us not to just think about the GC process. If any one is residing here for 10 years without GC, think about making a law which can lead us to Citizenship. My thoughts on this:
    Many of our colleagues who landed with us during the late 90s (1998, 1999) and early 2000, who got their GC without any issues are now Citizens or waiting to become Citizen soon.
    What is our status?. Just think. Still we are strugling to get the GC. Even by law change, if we are getting the GC this year (by GOD's Grace), then we need to wait for another 5 years from now (approximately 2014). Many persons like me who have come to this Country in their later career will be very much affected due to this delay (we have lot of other issues like the dependents reaching the age of 21 etc., College, University fees etc.,).
    Core team and every one, please consider this and try to lobby for getting the citizenship without further wait if the persons satisfy the folowing conditions:
    1. If they are legally here for 10 years (With approved I-140 and waiting for Adjustment of Status without current date).
    2. If they have earned full 40 points in Social Security
    3. If they have paid the tax continuously for 10 years
    4. If they own a house and paying Mortgage (adding weightage to the Economy boost)
    and
    5. If they do not have any criminal records in these 10 years.

    Please again do not just concentrate on the GC issues. Consider this and if any one can come with a letter draft with legal openion, we can send it to all Congress members, State Governers etc.,
    Hope the members and the Core team consider this issue. I have one more thread on this, which I started some months back but the response was not that good. If every one of us unite on this and raise this to the Congress, I think the new Government may consider as this is very genuine.

    Note:
    This Lawsuit Idea is on hold for the following reasons:
    a) Not enough interest in the affected parties
    b) Cost of the litigation would be upwards of around 30K
    c) The counsel has recommended to hold discussions with USCIS official first and give them sufficient time to respond to our concerns.
    But we are following up on other avenues.

    Hi guys,

    I sent in the four letters 2 weeks ago and this week I got a mail from TEXAS Service Center. They returned my letter in original and they also wrote a big one page letter.

    I don't have it with me right now but in it, it was mentioned that "Please call us at our inquiry center if you have any inquires or you can check your status online as well as the recent processing times.

    Don't know if others are also receiving the same returned mail but I wanted to let you guys know this as an FYI.

    It does not seem like the letter reached the person to whom it was directed to.

    some tips from Susan Henner:
    Although the principal employment-based categories are current for
    July,future retrogression is indeed possible later this fiscal year,
    particularly if demand for immigrant visas increases substantially. Visa numbers can retrogress in the middle of a month and become unavailable without any prior notice. If there is a mid-month retrogression, USCIS could elect to stop accepting adjustment applications. While this is unlikely to occur in July 2007, it becomes more and more possible as the fiscal year progresses.


    dude this is serious...that means can they stop taking application in mid month august or sept??:eek:
