Does anyone know whats the protocol for the Bill to be passed???
After the Floor Debate the bill goes to White House or again there has to some measures taken from Senate???? I know there some initiative taken in Senate (last year)..
I am just trying to check if there is any timeline on how and when this bill will be passed.. :rolleyes:
Macaca has posted a thread explaninng the legislative process ..
Please go through it...
For a bill to become law...
1. House has to pass it..
2. Senate has to pass it..
They might pass different versions..
3. They have to resolve their differences through conference process.
4. The conference report is approved by both houses..
5. President signs it...
The sempember timeline looks realistic...
Please donot post the same question at multiple places...

Can we utilize the US Citizen children to campaign for our cause. We can highlight our cause better that way. We shall certainly get more attention. We also must make sure to highlight that we are LEGAL immigrants.
I don't think this will fly, two reasons (but we can always try)- Not trying to discourage the thoughts/actions.
1. US Govt. revoked the policy to grant legal status to parents of US born children few years back(per NumberUSA they are called Anchor Baby-- go figure.. I hate this term very much).
2. I had read somewhere of similar case where a family tried to appeal for themselves in a court arguing that his US born child has all the rights to be raised in his country of birth and that he would need his parents to do so, hence the plea. They were told that they could take the child back to home country and US will be glad to welcome the baby when he/she turns 18.

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...

3/ How likely is it that PACE will become law?
Extremely likely. It is a bill with bipartisan support (almost equal number of Republican and Democrat co-sponsors). Plus, there is tremendous political will in Washington DC right now, cutting across party lines, to enact a legislation that will maintain America�s competitiveness in science and technology. The traditional anti-immigrant lobby that usually shoots down such legislation is also not too bothered by the automatic adjustment of status (AOS) privileges (i.e. a GC) being provided to PhDs, as the total number of PhDs is too miniscule a number, and seen to add tremendous value to the system for even them and their prejudices to oppose it. The total number that will be given these benefits under PACE will be a few hundreds, and this at a time when there are bills in senate and congress to legalize the 11 million (i.e. 11,000, 000) illegal workers living presently within US borders. Please know that the PACE bill is inspired by the highly regarded National Academies report that came out in the latter half of last year, and therefore has very strong credentials backing it. The only thing we have to do is to get these minor amendments incorporated into PACE; otherwise the bill will be passed and we will be left high and dry, and there won�t be as good a chance for us in the near future to get that elusive green card.

My 485 was apporved in July 2010 and have not recieved the card yet. I have contacted with couple of Service Request for non-delivery of permanent cards. First reply from USCIS was that my case was waiting for finger printing information from my local USICS was backlogged for appointments. So, I have told to wait for 60 days for either FP notice or physical green card. After 60 days, I have called them and another service request was created and the reply was completely irrelavant as they says my address was updated for my query about non-delivery of GC.
Is there any other escalation request that I can made for deliveriy the GC or the FP notice? whenever I called the USICS are creating the SR and have to wait for answers like above.
I have recieved the 485 approval notices (for both of us) on July itself but waiting for cards now. Are anyone with the same boat ? Or Is the unusual case?
Thanks
Rama
Contact your Congressman and Senator. Mine was also approved in July but the card came in November. Went for a couple of Info-pass, opened SR, called & e-mailed USCIS but nothing happened. USCIS is backed up on card production too.

Last time Hillary introduced a bill for giving gc to spouses of gc persons. They rejected because republicans think it will add hundreds of thousands new immigrants. Basically they do not want to add new numbers. Best time is at the time CIR lobbying can be done
H1-H1 couple can support status of each other (H1-H4 or H4-H1)
H1-F1 couple can support each other (H1-H4 or F1-F2)
But
GC guy can't support status if H1 spouse lost job and became out of status
GC guy can't support status if F1 spouse becames out of status
GC guy can't bring spouse from home country
UNLESS SPOUSE/Kids goes through complete F2A visa process (several years)
It can make life of GC spouse miserable (of course GC guy also). Imagine GC-H1 marriage, H1 out of status after loss of job. After loss of status, H1 spouse has to return, but GC spouse will try to remain in USA for own status and in hope to bring spouse back after getting citizenship.

I am in a similar situation. My current H1B and my wife's H4 expire on June 20th, 2007. I have filed for my 7th year extension as well as my wife's H4 extension in Dec 2006. I got receipt notices for both the application with a notice date of Dec 21st, 2006.
I am planning to apply for my wife's H4-H1 in April this year under premium processing and I was wondering what would happen to her H4 application if her H1 petition gets approved first. Will she be out-of-status between June 21 and Sept 30, as her H1 would start on Oct 1st. Also, what happens to her H1 if her H4 is approved after H1.
Any thoughts.

We are talking two different things here. You are saying about AC-21. The OP is asking about retaining PD. The way you can retain your PD after I-140 approval is :-
You file a new labor with the new employer - once it is approved - you need to file a new I-140 application and attach the old approved application with it - this would ensure that your PD will become the PD from the old case.
Difference with AC21 is - in the case of AC21, you just switch jobs and your current GC process continues - you do not have to file a new labor,140 etc.
Dilbert_cal:
Does this mean that with AC-21, I can just switch jobs (provided it is similar), and that my PD etc remains the same and that I don't have to do my labor and I-140 again? My I-485 has been filed for more than a year now (my 140 is also approved), and while I would like to change my job, I don't want to do the whole thing again.
Your response will be HIGHLY appreciated, bcuz you seem to know this stuff well.

hi mirchiseth, I recently applied AP to wrong location. I guess some one had the same situation while back. Do you remember how did that fixed.
Basically my case is pending at texas, but i wrongly sected missory and so my receipt number says MSC, that is what i realized that it was efiled to wrong location. Any help in this would be appreciated.
I also took infopass appointment to check, i am not sure if i get help with out getting the confirmation receipt as i efiled yesterday.
There is a cut-off date. Until then they forward those applications to right center (it may take a while), check when is that.

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.

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 agree if your idea is implemented going forward (meaning people who graduate after your suggested law is passed, only will qualify) and not retroactively?

You dont have to do anything. Just sit and watch the fun with USCIS. They will come up with solutions and get it passed with congress and they know better than any one else that they are in trouble without solutions. Lots of LAWSUITS will follow in next few months if they dont do their job on time.
If I interpret correctly you are saying because USCIS will not like to work on so many EADs and APs year after year AND SO they themselves will seek increase in annual GC numbers to clear up the mess. I wish your predictions would turn out to be true.:)
However, if enough EB GC numbers are not available, USCIS can not be repsonsibe for this. They have corrected the one mistake they did with the visa bulletin fiasco. I don't see any other basis for additional lawsuits.

Copsmart/Frostrated/anilkumar0902/Uma001/desitechie/Optimist/Other Guru's,
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide
Here is the current status:
- Consulted my lawyer and went thru all docs they submitted as part of my I140 package. On my last employer experience, found out that I had submitted only one affidavit from a co-worker and that would cover for less than 60 months of experience at my last my place.
- Came up with a list of some 30+ documents that include paystubs from US/India, W2/Form16's, letters submitted to CIS by previous company for new H1b back in 2003 and then for an extn in 2006, appreciation letters and other material on previous company letterhead. Discussed this with my lawyer
- Lawyer is of the opinion that we can prove our case of alternate evidence based on documents i am producing.
- Plan is to submit an affidavit from me that i was unable to get an exp. letter from my previous employer mentioning reasons on why its not possible, submit 2 affidavits from ex co-workers covering span of 63 months.
Based on your scenario or known people, can one of you respond to how should i approach following issues:
1) I am going to draft content for experience letter non-availability. I have mail trail from last 1 year following up on asking for details of $12K. Same mail mentions that am asking for experience letter and provident fund amount back from HR. Will it be a good idea to attach deputation letter mentioning 5 lac indian rupee to be paid for breach of terms and a 100 rupee bond paper contents which i signed before US deputation. Will it be Ok to mention that previous employer is asking for $12K settlement amount to provide experience letter and attach copies of bond and deputation note OR only mention that am unable to get experience letter and i have been following up with HR for last 1 year and attach email trail as evidence. Any pros and cons from CIS perspective on which approach to choose.
2) Any other documentation that needs to be submitted ? Supporting evidence alongwith company lawyer detailed letter, 2 affidavits from co-workers for skills and duration, self affidavit for experience letter not available will be -
> Paystubs from US/India, not for all 63 months but for some months in 2004/6/7/8.
> W2's for 2005/6/8.
> Form 16 for 2005-6/2007-8
> Offer letter, yearly appraisal letters, US deputation letters, appreciation letters, ID Cards, 3 Business cards showing change in designations.

EAD is like plate meals. GC is like full meals.:D
Full meals is not recommended by any doctor, plate meal is the best way to be healthy :)
So in other words GC will make you lazy and EAD keeps you working hard.
