Because of illegals granted amnesty any legal immigrant filing after Apil 30, 2001 faced longer waits and backlogs because they consumed the existing quota of immigrant visas. In essencem legals were penalized for obeying the law and standing in line.
Let's do a poll to see how many EB3IND folks will be willing to be a party to a class action lawsuit to provide relief. Obviosuly if the lawsuit prevails the plaintiff's pending GC applications will be approved. GCOP, mirage or anyone else- want to put up a poll (i don't know how to do it)
This might be a better option for many who cannot do a Writ of Mandamus lawsuit

My case is very straight-forward but some really inefficient guy is making it complicated. I need your experience and inputs. Please do advise.
I came to US on J-1 in 2000. After 3-years on J-1 got 'waiver (i-612)" and then moved on to H1B visa and filed I-485 in july07 (with an approved I-140). I have stayed with the same university medical school (my GC sponsor) since 2000. Last month, I got a simple RFE --asking for a copy of approval notice of 'waiver' . Same was sent within a day and it followed with several LUDs and read rfe response received.....
Last week, got 'Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID)' for myself and same/ditto for my derivative-spouse. It is asking both of us to provide evidence/ IAP-66 and H1B approvals to prove our legal status from 2000 to 2006 (Please, note they asked only until 2006 and not until today). I have IAP-66 and H1B approvals ready to respond to this.
My Question is: Since my spouse/derivative was my dependant and was on J-2 visa, the IAP-66 were all in my name how should we respond to derivative's noid as-far-as IAP-66 approvals are concerned. We know IAPs and waiver are good for dependants and I want to end this back-and-forth with my response to uscis.
Please, advise and let me know of your thoughts....

I applied for H1B extension in october 2006 as my H1B was about to expire in December. After five months of applying, got an RFE in Febraury 2007 . My employer replied to the query in Mid March 2007. My employer was reluctant to do a premium processing when he replied the query, saying that he doesnt want to take any risk. CSC transfered my case to Seattle, WA field office ( the field office is no where near my employers physical location, not even close to where I live) on April 4th. I guessed that its because of new H1 petitions filed in April. Its been more than 3 months and no action taken on my petition. We tried to convert into premium processing, but the field office rejected it saying they dont accept premium processing in their jurisdiction. So nothing else to do but to wait wait wait. Total time passed since my initial petition in OCtober ( 9 months).
My license has expired in March and the DMV do not renew my license with out a new I-94. Really its been a hell with out DL and still depending on others for necessary needs.
I am tired of telling the story to every one. Why not one more time here. I want to find out what other steps I can take to expedite the H1 Petition. Is there any way around to get the license renewed. Please share your experiences and suggestions.
My wife applied for H1B(new) in APRIL and her petition got an RFE asking to show proof that whether she will be in legal status until october 2007 as her I-94 expired in December(as her H4 petition is also pending due to RFE on my H1B). Attached the receipts and everything when she applied. From the documents attached cant they figure out that H4 petition is pending and she is in legal status. Kinda pissed me off.
I took an info pass appointment and went to the Newark Office today to see if they can help with my case. The IO said, they dont deal with H1B cases and cant help me in anyway. Though she took time to see where it is. She told me that I have to wait wait wait. This is really pissing me off, without a driving license for the last 4 months, passport expiring soon, Wife's H1 petetion Query ( as her H4 renewal is in hold due to my H1B RFE). Guys please post some ideas on how to deal with this situation. I even opened a service request about my case. But no progress. what should be my next course of action to move the case.
Any valuable suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
What jurisdiction mumbo jumbo are they giving your pp is still valid in all states in the US for H1-B.

I agree
I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...

Are you planning to get it stamped when you are outside US?
I just talked to my attorney and he says that the US Embassy will club both the 797 dates and give you a combined visa. I still would like to confirm it with other sources as it sounds too good to be true.
I-94 on current I797 expires 4/30/2007
Am expecting H1B approval 4/30/2007-4/30/2010 soon.
Plan to travel in February 2007.
One thing I noticed is my previous visa stamps only had a end date but no start date. So I am guessing/hoping the start date is effectively dictated by I797 (which I will have 2 of).

Bank of America(BOA) being a financial institution must have analyzed the risks before deciding to give credit cards to illegal aliens (no credit history and no SSN) and this would have been possible only with BOA having some kind of insider information on the status of the CIR.
My take is that BOA execs. know that the CIR is going to be passed in the summer. BOA knows for a fact that these 10-12 million illegal immigrants (read future customers) will have valid SSNs within the next 1 year or so.
This BOA action not consistent with traditional banking norms, is a precursor to the passing of the CIR in the house in the comming summer.

Some employers won't provide us the receipt notices for our I-485 applications. Yeah, it is supposed to be OUR application but that's how they play this game. Attorney refuses to release the RNs without employer's permission.
If we don't get our receipt notices, can we still change employer in 6 months using AC21. There must be a way out otherwise these suckers have an easy way to bypass AC21 laws...

This means that even for applicants for whom PD is current today for eg: EB2 ROW, will not be able to apply for concurrent I-140/I-485, if this rule is accepted.

Hi,
The question I have is : where to return my I-94 (expired and the extended one that came with I797) when I leave by LAND as there are no "US CBP agents/office" when we leave US by land. I went through US CBP website and find that there is a process to send I-94 after leaving the country to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY".
Unfortunately as I will be entering as a Canadian PR, there will not be any stamp in my passport to record my entry to Canada and hence won't be able to prove to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY" my date of departure from US. The reason I am worried is that I don't want to get in to any overstay issues if I need to come to US in future.
Thanks in advance.
When you handover your I-94 to the airline staff there is no recorded evidence of when you handed it over, there is no date stamp per se. Some airlines will not even take it out, esp. if you are travelling to Canada unless you ask them to. Also there is no gurantee that when airlines collect the I-94 it will indeed reach CBP at KY. As far as the entry stamp of the country you are visiting/moving that may not be clear enough to show that dates and some countries will not even stamp passport if you are a PR. Besides USCIS might or might accept it as an evidence of departure. US and Canada do not stamp the passport upon entry for Permanent residents.
The point of all this is, there is no certain way of showing that you have departed with-in the duration of stay. Sometimes USCIS takes boarding pass as the evidence. I think you should just take it easy, go to Canada and send the I-94 that is acctached to your H1-B on the same day with a post mark and make a copy of the receipt etc. That post mark from Canada is an evidence that you were actually in Canada mailing the damn I-94 on your first day of arrival. Other evidences could be the entry receipt of the Car that you will be taking to Canada (not sure about this though).

If the recession does hit,
will the visa bulletin of every month jump faster?
or will it slow down?
does anyone know?
:confused:
This was discussed in an earlier thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15744
In general it should not affect the visa bulletin because even if people lose jobs they can potentially scramble and get something soon enough (esp if they are on EAD). A future job offer is enough to maintain status atleast.
So for all the people already in the queue, its possible to stay in the queue even if the economy tanks.
For people not yet in the queue, even if they are forced to return to their home countries, they dont impact the existing queue.

My college got his I140 approved just in 2 months with normal processing. He filed in EB2-I. Mine was also approved last year in 2 months in EB2-I. Does the location from where are you applying affect processing time?
Not necessarily , But it does depends on what is load of work at a given time at given location. TCS was ahead of NSC last year but they shifted workload from NSC to TCS so now TCS is little behind. But once TCS cleans up all files it can go ahead. Processing dates are nothing but indication for when to open a Service Request at local office. If your case is behind that date you can open SR.For straight forward cases approvals comes fast. For those who are stuck they should monitor Processing time and see if their app is lagging behind proc time. They should contact USCIS.

its not that simple. were you here in 2000-2002 also? When the whole company is running into major losses complete department and locations get wiped out. Does not matter how critical a resource you are. If the people at the top decide to scrap the product, the team goes with it. Thats how companies like Nortel, Lucent etc manage to go from employment figures of 100K to 30K in a couple of years...
I second this. It doesn't matter how valuable resource you are for the company. It doesn't matter how hard working you are. It doesn't matter how bright and intelligent you are. Anything can happen if you are out of luck.
