I have been on H1B for 3000 days so far and I am still waiting for GC, (filed for 140/485 in November) and I thought I have been waiting for too long, but it looks like one of these people might actually qualify for Guinness Book.
3000 days might seem small when compared to a member's data whom I spoke with during the Sept Rally time. He has been here on a work visa since 1994 and unfortunately he had to start his greencard process several times. He was thankful that he finally got his I140 approved and filed I485 this year after such a long wait.
He was calling members and asking them to join the rally as he truly values IV and the fact that due to IV he could file his I485. I was very impressed with his dedication for IV and also felt sorry that he and his family had to endure such a long wait.

You have to stick to Software Engineer field in order to take advantage of PD recapture. If you move to Business Development using MBA than its hard to justify same or similar. Find a new job which requires EB2 and show BS+5 to qualify.
Hope that helps!

We have limited time and we have to achieve a lot. Our time and efforts should be utilized in a much better way, don't you agree? I appreciate your posting of your links. And what is your point? Include as a small comment or note at the top. It is easy for any one to 'google' conference, immigration and bill to come up with a few thousand good and relevant link. If I post a good number of them, one would definitely be lost.
Posting links should serve a purpose here. The primary purpose is achieving IV goals. A smaller purpose could be to see what the other side is saying, but my suggestion is to ignore them in general.
I went to both the links; one of the I understand is a Libertarian organization and the other radical left. As anyone can see, they don't represent the views of mainstream America. So, it is a waste of time and effort and above all a distraction here. That's my advice.

I guess that leaves only two options. Either leave US or file for his/her own Green Card application. Too bad.
First could be F1, or H1 then GC journey.

My wife worked as a full time employee and resigned after the delivery from Oct'08. She was paid the sick pay through a third party insurance and these wages are missing in the W-2. I tried contacting her employer and also wrote emails saying I would complain to IRS if they fail to provide a corrected W2. Today is 02/14 and we still didn't receive a new W2 for the sick pay or a corrected W2.
1) What consequences the employer would have to face if they fail to report correct wages on W2?
2) Does IRS is concerned about missing wages that are 1-2K?
3) Do you think I should complain to IRS?
I am planning to lodge an official complaint on Monday 02/16. I suppose it was a deadline date for all employers to provide W2 or a corrected one.
Due diligence
Send a Certified email with receipt /delivery acknowledgment to the employer with your request. Prepare a proper trail of documentation. If the employer does not relent, report the same to IRS after consultation with a tax consultant.

Please read the text of the article. It is clearly skewed. The way the whole matter is painted is that the bill would give "illegals an easy to citizenship", which is not an easy sell come election times. This is not reporting of a news item, rather a clear indication of where the paper stands on this issue. Everybody knows what to expect from W.times -a mouthpiece of ultra conservative, right wing Republicans who stalled CIR last summer. The language of this is no way different from that of last year when CIR was being staged up and during the rallies in DC.
I know IV is trying hard and sincere. But still if 5-10 votes will determine the passage of pro-immi bills in the congress and that they should come across the aisle from Republican side makes me really skeptic of a positive outcome. I for one,am not losing my hope but just tempering it with a lot of apprehension.
Wash Times is as conservative as your Lou Doubbs... I dont trust them...

One should remember the history of immigration in US. US histroy is more than 200 years. Most of the immigrants came/occupied the US, entered illegally. Legal immigration is still very new to US, by considering lenghth of immigration in US. Furthermore, till 1965, asians were not allowed legally in US to get GC. They do not like law obeying asians. This is the history. This is what it is going to be in future too.

Stucklabor,
Do not get me wrong - I do not expect the IV activists to jump on the "ideas" I posts. They have done more than enough and have said that many times. Just one thing was not properly handled in my opinion - the backlog issue. There is no excuse for the Immigration dept for this backlog. This is a simple clerk's job which they screwed. IV as a an organization should clearly state it and insist on fast resolution by the respective authorities, not just foggy promises.
But it is time for the "grassroots" to start thinking and acting, not just waiting for someone else to do it for them. That is why I keep this conversation going and suggest "ideas".
Again, thanks for the good job done by the core team and volunteers done until now. Unfortunately this is just a beginnig of a long jurney...

With that said, let me be a devils-advocate, if you will, and ask these questions:
Given ours is a issue-based, goal-based struggle, with Goal & Issue being same for ALL EB immigrants:
--- Why should I expect all immigrants to wear any organization's badge, be dedicated to any particular/one organization, whether that Org is IV/Democrats/Republicans/Congress/BJP
--- Shouldn't I be just worried about who can SHOUT louder about my issue and less worried about the Organization that's making them SHOUT?
-----
Thanks for the discussion again.
Hypothetically speaking, let's assume all the 55,000 members in IV are active but are not organized under one umbrella (IV). Each of them have the same problem (stuck in the backlogs) and each of them approach lawmakers. Each discusses their own personal case and each of them discuss about a solution that fits them - (human nature). Some of them may be the very same provisions as IV. But will these 55,000 people mention all the provisions? chances are - No.
So, there will be no coherent messaging, even though there are 55,000 people participating simultaneously.
Second, without being an organized unit, we loose the collective strength. Say a lawmaker is interested in fixing our problems - his task will be tremendous - he probably has only 10 people who have approached his office to fix the problem - so not only does he have to find out if there is a wide range of people affected by this problem, he also has to contact each of the 10 people individually. Guess what? he too will suggest for the 10 people to join forces and be under one umbrella.
What I am trying to say is that IV has already brought us together. It has built good relations with key people in DC. It has done the ground work. Why not build on the sound foundation?
In life we are ready to be grouped as Indians, Indian-Americans, Asians, Male, Female, Married, Unmarried, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, political organizations (we believe in one or the other - independents, democrats, republicans, congress, bjp), Unions, Employees of Cisco, IBM, Desi Consulting - what is wrong in identifying oneself in a group if you believe in it? By nature we are a collective group, but we think that it is wrong/unnecessary to belong to a group! We think we are smarter for being independent. But the truth is that even the most independent of the guys lives in a society. He may not accept it, but that does not change the facts.
Bottom line is, what each one of us believe in. If we believe in a cause, we will find a way to work on it. Quantity matters only when there is quality. If we have to depend on only one, my preference would be on quality. I want the loudest person, but at the same time, I want that loud person to be shouting the message that I want - or else it defeats the purpose.
Leo, this is just my opinion, not IV's - though I would think IV will agree with me. I believe in collective strength and individual's logic to think matters through (no brainwashing!).
I have nothing more to say.

it's a two step process to get the birth certificate if your birth was not registered.
1) Apply for a birth certificate at the registrar office and the request will be verified.
This process will take little more time
2) After the verification is completed, the registrar office will issue something stating that the birth was not registered
3) Submit an affidavit stating that you are born at home, with couple of witness signs and hence the birth was not registered at the time of your birth.
4) After submitting the affidavits, the registrar office will issue birth certificate and will register the birth.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Salauddin

You've ever heard of kamikaze missions help by Japanese pilots during world war 2?
They were suicide missions to bomb American targets (like Pearl Harbor) knowing very well they will not come back alive. They would crash their planes into enemy targets laden with a lot of explosives.
Go figure!
I agree with FaniMiBanana. I do not think any reason one can come up with in any desperate situation is "legitimate" enough to take ones own life in my opinion.

I think this rule would be pretty controversial with the diversity restrictions that US expects.
So, why there is country limit just on GC quota, if they want diversity it should be on H1/L1 visas as well...this is why we are seeing backlog of more then 5yrs in GC. It is not diversity they want it is called discrimination :eek:

Question 1: If they do this, what will happen to my pending I-485, EAD & AP?
Ans: I think it will be rejected, since the 140 has been revoked.
Question 2: Lawyers are saying that they have to withdraw the LC Sub based I-140 because the job descriptions are different? Is it not possible to file a totally new I-140 and keep both of them pending?
Ans: Not sure if this is ture. There are so many people who filed in EB2 as well as EB3. Hope it will and should not be a problem. If possible do stick on to the old PD since with a 2003 LC u can get the GC 2 to 3 years earlier that the 2006. Its worth taking a risk I suppose. If the company can prove Ability to pay and your qualification matches that of the LC, then it should be ok. There is no point of withdrawing the old one.
The other option is the file the new 140 and after the approval then interfile 485 with the new and then have the old one withdrawn. If you withdraw the 140 then you will have to wait for a long long time to file ur 485 with 2006pd.
This is just my opinion. Use it at your own risk.

I didn't send a certified mail but I have a reply to my email saying that they didn't received the statements from the Insurance Company and we can still report those missing wages without a W2 from the company.
Can we use this as a proof of contacting employer requesting for a corrected W2?
Or
Do you still recommend us to send a certified mail? so, first thing Tuesday morning I can do that.
Yes, make sure you give your employer the benefit of doubt by sending the documents via certified mail and acknowledgment received/delivery confirmation.Make sure you mention that you need it amended to file for taxes and will be forced to report otherwise. Follow that up with an email via delivery confirmation option to make sure its been received. If nothing happens from your employer in consultation with your tax consultant file a complaint.
good luck

One more question is right now my wife is on H4, My I140 and 485 are in pending, if my wife got EAD she can use it right?
2) If my I140 denied and her EAD become Void, Is she permitted to stay in USA or She needs to go out of country and enter with h4 status?
Thanks
Ajay
Yes, You can use EAD and start working on it before I-140 approval BUT you can not change employer using AC21 without an approved I-140 even if your I-485 is pending for more than 180 days.
Let me clarify some doubts people have on this thread...
It's your choice whether to use EAD or H1 to work,
You can change employer on EAD as well as H1(EAD is just easier, no application fee involved), provided your 485 is pending for 180 days and 140 is approved.
EAD does not give you the freedom to change employer if the other 2 conditions are not met(140 approval and 485 pending for 180 days). Once these 2 conditions are met, you can change even on H1....

eb3nepa & srikondoji, it is not just non Indians that not standup, there are close to quarter millions Indians in the queue who follow immigration news and who want things work but just do not want to standup. It could either be "fear" or "no care" attitude. It is true with immigrants from other countries too. Immigrants from all countries have a hidden fear, as it is not their country but a country they want to immigrate to and do not want to do anything that displeases the country. It is factual. Very few people actually have the guts to question.
