USCIS has become the Cash cow of the Cash strapped US govt. We are the chickens whose feathers are being skinned.
Man...looks like they are working like crazy to get the EADs approved. My spouse's application: Recieved on 9th June, 08 and card production ordered on the 25th June, 08. 16 days...they are doing everything possible to save some money for USCIS(assuming the EAD they mailed is a 1 year one). I wonder why they even came up with the 2 year EAD when their plan is to do this.

we are holding off on webfaxes at this time. We will use this when we need them and will be effective. At this time we urge members to take appointments with their lawmaker offices and go and meet them. These meetings are very important for our success. Thus get active in your state chapters. Organize it if it not organized. If you cannot do it for some reason, then take appointments on your own and go and meet them. While we are making efforts on the hill, it is important to have grassroots level efforts going on across the country

I still don't understand what you are saying.
Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
Are you saying the future greencard applicants will have to compete with lot more new H1b s?? Wouldn't this bill help alleviate the retrogression problem and those with approved LC, I-140 etc??

This sort of response is not surprising at all to me. I sent individual emails to at least twenty members from my state to try and galvanize some action and did not receive one single reply.
There are four of us who seem to be keen to try to get something moving but that seems to be a bit lame when we can only muster four people from an entire state.

Here are all the LC approvals for India in the last seven years.
Year, Total LC Approved, Total India
2007 85112 24573
2006 79782 22298
2005 6133 1350
2004 43582 No Info
2003 62912 No Info
2002 79784 No Info
2001 77921 No Info
2000 70204 No Info
Lets assume about 25% of pre-PERM LCs are India based on post-PERM data. Thus for fiscal 2004 (Oct 2003 thru Sep 2004) the total LC number is 43,852. Assume 25% of that to be India based on PERM data. That gives about 11,000 India LCs in 2004 alone (All EB categories combined). If you assume an average of 2.5 dependents then the number of visas required for all India EB categories for 2004 is 27,500 (11,000*2.5). The regular quota for EB2 and EB3 is only about 3000 each. That means 21,500 visas have to come from somewhere. I dont think those many visas are remaining for this year. Be prepared to see FIFO thrown under the bus and approvals with PDs that are all over the place. Please critique this analysis without piling on. Thoughts?
good post but The regular quota for EB2 and EB3 is only about 9,800(7% of 140k visas) each

Ah, this is getting competitive, is it?
Who should decide the winner? The grassroot, highly motivated, common IV members or the forum bigwigs like super (delegates) moderators? We will find out on 1st March.
Good work for the weekend! :)
ps: volunteers please honor your volunteer time commitments. We need the continuity to sustain our momentum
it got too cold so we had to go home. We got around 19 letters signed yesterday after our So.Cal meetup
Impossible to catch up with you:)
But NORCAL did collect 92 over the last weekend. I collected 40 of those (takes me to 197), the reason to mention this is, it is way too easy for anyone to do this, and people better had strong reasons to not do it!
Folks this is great news!! I agree, we are all winners in the end!!! :) But don't go trying to beat me now abhijitp haha just kidding :D
It's the weekend folks, let's print out some template letters and ask friends for 1 minute of their time.
Let's keep up the momentum, March 1st will be here before we know it.

I guess it is high time we write USCIS in mass sending a copy to the President’s and Vice president’s office and ask them to take off that Free EADs only for post 30th July filers thing. We should also ask them to give 2 year APs. I am preparig a letter I'm going to send it out soon, also to Congresswoman Zoe Logfren's office...

Hi,
i too got an email saying card production has been ordered....
was overjoyed....
few days later I recieved a cover which almost looked like it could be the card...
I was about to open it that my wife woke me up saying...."it's time to go to the office, get up"
I had an arguement with her after that saying...you should have waited 2 more minutes before waking me up....we would have had a gc if you had waited.. !!
anways, back to square 1.
one of the forum members mentioned above..."I finally got a letter from the Director of Homeland Security apologizing for the error and appreciating my honesty "
I wonder if we are all going to get a letter some day saying...thanks for your patience...we are almost there ! just a few more years please....and I assure you that we will send you your green card...

I had a similar experience, i took matter with the consul general, other than making an apology in the written e-mail I dont think he took any steps in improving the Customer Service @ SFO consulate office. I sent them US postal Money order, so i dont think they duped me...it just cost me extra $20.
Babu mentality is still their for any Govt of india employee and no matter what position they are holding, they all behave same, very rude and corrupt minded, always looking for an opportunity to make quick bucks using their position. Though in your case if you would have write the money order or cashier's check in favor of the consul general, Govt of india account, i dont think they have any legal way to encash these check or money orders in favor of them.
I guess the fraud is when folks send them $20 bills, thats very easy way of stealing the money and especially when they send you the PIO card in the same original envelope which you sent. Something suspicious. Write to WAshington DC office and see if they take any action.

The H1B visa belongs, in effect, to the company that sponsors it. You cannot work for any other company on that visa other than sponsor. If this is a transfer, then, In a so-called "visa transfer" what actually happens is that the initial visa is cancelled in favor of another one issued for the new employer. What that means is OP's work with old employer is considered as "unauthorized work". Do not consider this as illegal presence, as his legal presence is controlled by a valid I-94.
This is incorrect (highlighted in Blue above). Just because new H-1B petition is approved, old I-797 is not canceled. Again, gapala, understand this, if old I-797 is not canceled, beneficiary is authorized to work for old employer for I-797 validity dates. Unless, Employer request to cancel H-1B petition, employee can come back to work for that employer even after starting working for Employer B.
Gapala - One more time, during the validity dates of I-797, employee working for old employer is not "unauthorized work". OP was authorized to work for "Employer 2".
If its a transfer, your I-94 "number" will be same. Check to see if you have same I-94 number on any or all or atleast 2 of your I-94's including the one which they provided you at POE "across" any of your employers (1, 2 and X).
As I stated beore, matching I-94 number does not mean much. I-94 number will be same for cases of change of status from, say, H-1B to B1. On the other hand, I-94 number could be different for H-1B transfer.
Gapala - I have noted that you provide lot of incorrect info in your posts. Please be careful in what you write.

This is confusing. In that case how do they make ROW current or PDs way ahead of India? In other words, how do they know without touching a file that PD of a ROW file is current and is eligible to get GC!
Think about the flip side. If this is true, then once they preadjuridict all cases, thousands of ROW cases will immediately become eligible to get GC and India / China will not move for year(s)!
:D
They have already provided some kind of information to the Ombudsman's office so they must already have that information. It makes no sense otherwise how they would determine how many number of visa's they have available for each country or determine what are the PD's for each country.
OR
They do not have any program that can do it like that and that is why they did not use the full quota of visas which might have come out due to the inquiry of the Ombudsman's office.
Nixtor,
I did not say it was easy with bureaucracy and security, my response had those concerns highlighted on the other hand you may be right about the process being extremely manual where a physical verification is needed on each file which means all of us are in deep sh**t because they are working on some vague assumptions that visa numbers are /arent available and in the process we might be losing out something more or there is probably a gaint 'REGISTER' somewhere where people go and make physical entries :D:D every time a visa is allocated which will give the count... like an account book. all the above in jest ofcourse
Something ought be done about it and either way we should report it to Media and Ombudsman's office and if we still want to pay up the $5000 we can do so.
