Ok, so my PD got current (EB3 India). What next?
Optimystic -- is your PD current?
IF you have a current PD RIGHT NOW...AND submitted your I-485 on or before June-July 2007... AND have an approved I-140
(i) they are sweeping through all the files to find such files because if you filed your application in June-July 2007, 180 days have likely passed since your name check was submitted to the FBI. Name check request are made within weeks of generating a receipt for you.
(ii) they plan to complete this sweep by March 10; UNLESS visas run out, they plan to process such cases in approx 60 days (hah! like I believe them).
(iii) within the set of applications with current PDs, they apparently process in order of RD. Not sure if this is within the EB preference and current PD or across all EB preferences.
(iv) Some cases are approved without any changes in LUD i.e. that amazing email arrives before without any prior LUD changes.
IF you don't have a current PD, I have nothing to say except best of luck to all of us...the situation is pretty grim. The movement of EB-3 ROW will mop up most of the green cards left this year.

Hey Everyone,
My brother is a US citizen who has filed an I-130 for me and my family in May, 2008. We've traveled to the US on B1/B2 visas in February, 2009. The thing about it is that in the DS-156 form point "36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?" we've answered "No". I've had no idea at that time that it was referring to the petition for alien relative. Anyways, we've returned back home in time. Also, I've had 3 visas before (2 tourist and 1 student) and never violated any immigration laws.
Then in December, 2009 we've applied for F-1 visa and got denied. This time it was a DS-160 form that we filled out which replaced the old DS-156 form. It didn't have that question about the petition anymore. I think they've decided to exclude it because a lot of people were confused by it. Anyways, the consulate officer didn't like the fact that I haven't transferred my credits from 2 courses of University that I've completed in my home country. Plus my major differed from my previous education course.
So my question is. Is it ok to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I mean we've been issued B1/B2 visas before. Even though we've answered "No" to that question, they saw that I had a brother in the US who is a US citizen. I'm thinking of transferring my credits and using same major course this time or at least similar. This way in the eyes of the consulate officer it will look as I am going to the US to finish my education. The thing is, I am planning to attend community college first in order to finish general courses and then transfer to the university. My major in my home university was physics and this community college doesn't have it. I may go with "general education" course at the community college and explain to the consulate officer my situation.
Is it even legal to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I believe so. My another question is. Once I finish education. What's the next step would be? Will it be easy to transfer from F-1 to H1B visa while I-130 is pending? What about my wife and a baby who will be on F-2 status? Please share your thoughts. Thank you!
For F-1 visa, you need to show non-immigration intent; i.e., you do not plan to immigrate to U.S. In your case, the combination that I-130 is pending, you want to apply to a university that does not have your major, etc., sends a very bright red flag.

you need to be old enough to carry on a convo like adults with full words, not slang, etc.
most states allow people to get work permits at certain ages, to work after school and such.
If it is your parent's company, then no age limits apply.

I guess when it comes to GC processing, NOTHING is really "wrong" is it? If you get a chance to work around and beat the long lines, I guess "It's all good". Some people are lucky that they get a chance to get Labor Sub, some ppl marry the GC and some ppl like the rest of us wait in line like "honest citizens".
The REAL question is, just how many of us would have refused a good labour sub, given the present conditions, solely on the basis that "it is unfair to others"? I know i would have taken it. Reason? It's LEGAL (or used to be). Our "misfortune" (if i can use that word), is that we did not get a similar chance.
For those wondering, what I am babbling about: "Let's not look down on this guy who got his GC approved by Labour Sub, or even continuously point out that he did."
Well said, No one here is going to let go an opporturnity here, if one gets one. In my case, I did NOT go in search of one, and I did not get one. So waiting in line for years. that said, If I had got an option, I would have taken advantage of it. This guy does deserves his GC. Anyway, he/she has been here since 1997 and it is a long time too.

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.

Here is one of my friend in the similar situation planning to do. He is filing 485 without any medical exam. Certainly, he is going to get query and after query you have 40 days (double check this number) to reply. So, he'll get some time to go and do wife hunting.
Medical exam is considered part of "intial evidence" for the I485. If your friend files without the medical report, his application will be rejected without an RFE.

I don't see a reason why you want to campaign, is it just because this months visa bulletin didn't make you happy?
Sending flowers and telling USCIS how to fix their issues will not help. We must stop and think first before we ask them to do this and than.
Good to see the count already three (here) in just 30 min of posting this idea (IV's one of the peaceful ways). So I am sure there will be huge response. Please spread this message as much as you can, and see if we can gather a good #.
ALSO we will have to wait for IV Admin to approve this, as I am just a junior member and dont have that capacity. WE MUSt start one more campaign.
Please spread this among your friends and make a difference. On this INdependence eve, lets work in the same lines as those great people did. We may like one leader or we may not like due to their approaches. But one most common thing you will see in all is UNity in what they did and strength came from there. What we are asking isnt that big a deal to fix. Simple admin fix

Nikon put itself "On The Ropes", by not paying attention to what the market wants. Canon have consistently caught them with their pants down with the D60, 300D and the mkII. Very kind of Canon to leave Nikon anywhere near 30% of the table scraps. who says the blokes at Canon don't have a heart?
I think they may make a strong fight back with the D70, that looks like a lot of camera for a great price.

i ave been advocating that each section must be moderated... and ppl with incomplete info must not have access to
a.) secure sectiono of the forum.
b.) volunteer moderators must have limited access..like deleting/disabling profiles or posts..
i see too many bots and worms on this posts...
act now..else RIP for ever..;)
IMO, there could be unfortunate situations for anybody which may seem to be like one will go out-of-status. Best option is go to a good attorney. It is not cheap option but certainly it is best way to get things answered professionally within a specific time period. It will also prevent your case to be wide open on forums for any agency or anti-s to target you. You will also be protected by attorney client confidentiality agreements.
I saw some questions like "I am not working on H1B though I have visa. Or things like "I am not paid on bench. Is that alright". Does it need anybody to confirm that you could be out of status? Quite naive to ask that on forum.
Best option, do not violate any law intentionally. When we take so much care by not even jay-walking, we should be super careful about the immigration laws and statuses.

With regard to HSMP issues in UK some Indian Minister (I think PC Chidambram...) made a public comment a few days back and the political establishment in UK took notice.
For US, people need to write to India's PM Manmohan Singh. If 50,000 letters go to him then he will talk to Bush and something can work out. NRIs anyway have a lot of say now in Delhi unlike 10 years back when they were totally disliked. Just wasting time on chat boards will lead to nothing. Even Microsoft and Intel are unable to convince politicians here. It has to come from a higher authority with whom there are mutual stakes involved. Manmohan Singh is the only guy who can help here because today there are several mutually important and high stake issues between India and US.

All,
This has been discussed before, but I could not find a definitive answer.
I live in Alabama and my I-485 is pending with Nebraska Service Center. Based on instructions in I-765 form, Alabama falls under Texas Service Center.
My category for I-765 EAD is -- (c) (9).
Now I am filing for my EAD renewal. Where should I send in my paper application -- Nebraska or Texas?
Would you all pl let me know. Last time my EAD was messed up big time, (wrong dates on EAD card), and I want to make sure everything goes normal this time.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks.

thanks, it sure clarifies things.. and from what I read, these applications work in parallel. RFE on one application has no efffect on the other one. you just have to wait for one of them to come through, mostly probably EB1A. once you get approved on EB1A, they will cancel the remaining 2 applications. Good luck..
Yes, that's what my understanding is as well.
Thanks and good luck to you too.

IRS can go back 3 years unless they have evidence that you understated your income by more than 20%. There are some depreciation issues that may allow them to go back further.
As far as I know, IRS and INS (USCIS) do not share information with each other. USCIS is under the Dept of Homeland Security and IRS is under Department of the Treasury.
I actually read a newscoverage in California couple of years ago where INS sued the IRS for not providing information about the illegal immigrants. INS claimed that they failed to obtain information from the IRS about the illegal immigrants who were filing tax returns using TIN numbers. If I remember correctly, INS lost the lawsuit and IRS was ordered not to release information on people to the INS.
Just to clarify a little more about TIN and SSN is that you cannot get a SSN unlress you have some sort of work authorization (Such as H-1, EAD or even F-1 working/willing to work on-campus) where you can get TIN numbers from IRS and they don't want to know your visa/residency status. So, if you are living illegally in the U.S., you can still get TIN number and file tax returns.
That's just it; isn't it. I'm here legally paying taxes, immigration and all that other good stuff. This last year many illegals who filed 2006 taxes and were awaiting refunds did not get the refunds due to their immigration status! Many things are on the change and when 4 of you are on TIN#'s it is easy to get pulled. What they audited us for was stupid totally illogical! Prove we were married, that the kids lived with us and we lived together in same house. That was it. Why would you file jointly if you did not live together in the first place. IRS office confirmed, then 2nd one re-confirmed it was flagged by INS and it wasn't even hidden well. So, that was August and we filed 07/05 the audit was for 2005 returns. They have all paperwork, but haven't heard anything back yet. That is a good thing too. I crammed every bit of evidence I could into that sealed file before sending it off. The officer who confirmed receipt of it was laughing harder with each turn of the 50 odd documents of proof that I had sent. She said I don't think we can deny that you live together and the kids live with you!!! Please don't worry about it. You should receive a letter in about 30 to 40 days with the outcome.
That is it and I shall wait for the letter to arrive signing it off.
Cheers,
LRIndy.

Should there not be a separate Green card quota for anyone with a USA Masters Degree in any field?
If USA does that, more people will pay to come to study in USA. Not go to Australia, UK etc to study. So more money to USA. And USA degree holders will be able to use this education and work in USA to improve USA economy. If they go back to their countries, then USA has brain drain.
If they have separate quota for H1, separate H1B quota for Masters Degrees, what is wrong to have one for Green Card?
Please support on this thread if you agree.
Would you have supported this if you did not have a masters?

Any idea of how many number of I-140s ? May be 50000+. It looks like it might take at least an year to process these I-140s in NSC/TSC. TSC is faster when compared to NSC, where the priority dates has not been moving, at least for EB1/EB3. What do you say ?
A trivial question: Do they process I-140s based on labor filed date (priority) or I-140 filed date ?
Hopefully they will reinstate PPS for I-140 after they are done with receipting the July/Aug applications.
Good luck to everyone.

"control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should the Senate Judiciary Committee's H1-B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view. "
Another example, of an excellent quality "formatted letter" . Notice how the politician is ,while being non-involved, looking sympathetic to your issues. Notice the open ending, suggesting non-committed view "will consider your views". This leaves room to navigate the press. Not only this, the brilliance of this letter lies in, easily blaming the other party, for having failed you.
A bill can be intiated by any member, irrespective of the party. If they are committed to your cause, it only takes a few moments to introduce a bill.
I got this Reply from Zoe Lofgren, offcourse this reply was in December 2006 when Republicans were controlling the Congress.
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate the time you took to explain the impact of the H-1B visa cap and the "green card" backlog on U.S. employers.
I understand well that the success of U.S. companies depends on highly educated and talented U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.
What we need is thoughtful reform that supports the American economy and allows American companies the benefit of the "best and brightest" from around the world.

As such, Republicans control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should the Senate Judiciary Committee's H1-B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if I can be of further assistance to you or your family.
Sincerely
Zoe Lofgren
Member of Congress
