Guys,
I took an info pass last week to check the status of my case. Specifically to check whether the interfile is success or not. IO at USCIS office mentioned that she cannot check whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. I am surprised to hear that. Gurus any has this kind of experience?
Also, She mentioned that my case is assigned to an Officer on August 13th. Do any one has any info how many days(on average), an Office will take to approve a case. Any info. is helpful to me and all.
Overall the Field Office people were polite.
Thanks,
Thun.

along with all the great work being done by IV, I have to admit, the one annoying thing that we have to contend with is the wild speculative rumors that spread like wildfire... can people please stop spreading these and just wait a few hours for the announcement....

Just to add, this is the risk of not working for the company after getting the EAD. The employer can easily prove that the person had no intention of working for the company. AC21 cannot protect that person.
the guy who used AC21 got his GC and rightfully so since he left after 6 months.
Our friend was the one who got the labor sold by his desi employer leech..to him
its good atleast that Ac21 works and it should..now with substitution banned the new AC21s will be protected..as long as they didn't substitute..
Finally labor substitution was a bad choice! thats the moral of the story..

You know what, you win I loose. Keep paying for your GC out of your pocket.
7.5K and counting. :pNobody wins. I would be glad if my company pays for it. Anyway it's good for me that I got this opportunity at least. And you are right, it's still counting. I'm renewing EAD every 9 months for 3 of us - 180 x 3 =540

School can't force her to continue on F1 visa. Only thing she need to send school is her copy of pending I-485 receipt and thats it.
Exactly. Let them cancel her F1 status and she will automatically change status to AOS pending.

A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?

A 700billion$ bailout is not helping much. You think we can help the economy? We are at the mercy of the employers whose earning results are going down because of recession. :( It is hard for me to believe that we can help the economy by buying houses and how are the law makers going to get convinced? Show me the proof.
I am not sure it is simply US$700 billions. Europe is also coming out with bailout package of US$2000-3000 billions.
Let me take example of India: I heard someone talking India coming with Rs. 100,000 Crore (US$250 billion) bailout, some other said no it is Rs 60,000 crore. Between these talks, one airline asked for Rs 5,000 crore bailout. So follows other industry.
So now this is economy of bailouts. I am sure several other countries also must be planning bailout. US has $10.2 trillion US national debt (FED loan), but current external debts are too much (US$16.2 trillion in 2006 ) and govt liabllities US$59 trillion. Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States
US economy desipte problems is so strong that all the bailouts directly or indirectly supporting business in US. So the US$700 billion is just a symbolic figure. Actual support to US economy could reach US$ 4-5 trillion through worldwide bailouts.

Speak about buying reputation. I'm sure your 1st Amendment rights are not being violated. The other members are just exercising their rights too. :D
Maverick1 asked a very simple question: Why "upgrade" to EB1 when you think your country is all so hunky dory?
It's a good alternative but the question is : Is it the best alternative? I think the least we can do is be honest with ourselves. :rolleyes:

Do you realize that this thread is from 2006.
Hey folks,
The proposed bill to give green card to PhDS does not include all the PhDs. PhDs listed as STEM(Science engineering technology majors) are only eligible through this bill in current form. Graduates from pharmacy, medicine, veterinary medicine, animal science are not listed as STEM. I am sure there are many more majors not listed as STEM. I think we should write a letter to congressmen about this anomaly. And I encourage non STEM PhDs to represent their concern so that we can unite and represent our concerns to the congress men. immigrtion service department has listed the subject codes fall under STEM.
You have to browse through the following link to see code for your major. http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/cip2000/ciplist.asp.
once you know the code for your major you can go to http://www.ice.gov/sevis/stemlist.htm to check weather your program is listed there as STEM.
good luck

Many asked you about H1B employees...but I have a different question for you...
Do you place consultants (and they are not your employees) thru vendor to the client place ? Like just forwarding resume to vendor (not to client) and charge every hour say 5-20$ per hour as long as the consultant is on the project for just forwarding the resume ? I know many desi employers do so I wanted to ask you.

This is encouraging. chandu, I read somewhere (mostly on murhty) that CIS will be publishing new AC21 soon and it is expected to be more stricter. Is this just the speculation or any other indications are received?? any idea? I am afraid that what will happen to people who already have used AC21 by following what currently exists???????
Thanks for sharing information. Can you URL for Murthy's article?

I would like to thank all the members for their responses.
I am at least (I think) safe, cause I have approved I-140, EAD and I-485 pending and crossed the 6 months waiting milestone. I am still on H1 with that company. They recently merged (or bought by) the other company....from that time on that new company started sending all these documents to sign....which my old company never asked me to do so.
However, I feel sorry for those who are new and primarily in H1B with the company. They don't have much of a choice, I guess.
Thank you pappu, senk1s, jthomas, sunilbhai, snathan and kshitijnt for your valuable comments.
Thanks,
RC :)

He also suggested, to contact the media, which we are doing and also told,
he was also aware of immigration voice and its good doings.
He also told the Senator voted in favour of CIR 2006.
He suggested having a direct meeting with Senator would definetly help, as it would have a better impact, but he said that it would be easy to get an appointment of the Senator in DC. At this point, we have requested the immigration voice DC members whether they can have an meeting with the Senator and we can arrange the same with this staff member.
He also requested, if any of our member are meeting with the same Senator office staff in different location(Detroit, Grand Rapids,Escabana etc), please refer this staff name for continuity reasons.

I am not sure when the CIR will pass...its not on Nancy Pelosi aganda in forseeable future... and several people already mentioned that if it didnt pass by MAY07 then you are looking at Jan 09 to get immigration stuff to happen...
I think we need to work on an interm EB relief bill ...which is absolutely non contraversial and try to pass it....not worring about piggy backing the CIR...
Issues such as h1 increase or adding more numbers need not be in it...we can include things like EAD after I-140...spouse/childer not considered for EB quota...etc...
Unless we act desissively now...its going to be a long way to 2009..

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.
My 2 cents.

Hi there
Yes, when you join work you need to fill a new I9 to officially claim your right to employment using an EAD (if you have entered as an H4). Basically, this is the documentation to prove that you are undertaking authorized employment and giving up your H4 status.
Now, if the underlying 485 of the primary applicant gets denied, then you can continue working if your H1 is still valid but sadly your wife cannot work and has to stop working immediately until a MTR is filed and USCIS resumes the case processing pending decision of MTR.
A friend of mine was in this situation. His wife stopped working, their lawyer filed MTR (wife took unpaid leave of absense for 2 months) and after the case status changed to under consideration, she resumed working. Remember, the EAD is only valid as long as the 485 is not in a denied status. If employment is continued after 485 is denied and before MTR is accepted, you can later face problems for having engaged in unlawful employment in case you have an interview.
Thanks again Chaanakya,
I understand that the dependent loses the EAD status when the underlying 485 is denied. However, if the primary applicant is still maintaining H1, then is there a way to get H4 back by staying here in the US. Or is the only way to get H4 is to go back to India and come back here. At this point I do not care about filing an MTR to open the 485, but I need to get back to H4 status.

I had seen a similar thread for NSC->CSC->NSC filers, but can't seem to find it anymore---did anyone whose cases got transferred to CSC receive FP notice?
I am a July 2nd filer, EAD/AP approved from CSC, case transferred back to NSC back in early Sept--still waiting for FP notice for over 4 months now.
PS: I am not desperate for FP notice---and i know it's going to be several years wait--just want to get the FP done and move to an apartment with lesser rent :-)
