My 2 cents to this discussion.....
Progress of IV and processing of papers cannot be stopped. I want to be able look back and tell my son that I was there on that day. To me this rally was equal to the "I dream" march by Dr. King in the context of American history. If we do not set these examples then who will.
Those who did not make it and see the point now will join us as we go along. There will be more of this as we go along. Everyone will get a chance.
I propose that we organize rallies in most major cities on the same day. This will give a chance to all those who wanted to be there but could not make it. Maybe the local chapters can take this up.

I spoke to a woman in the USCIS customer service and she doesnt know Jack. All she told was there wont be any further authorizations starting from June 02(as idf we dont know this. Teh whole world knows). They will put all the applicatiosn received on July 02 in hold and may start processing from Oc 01 2007. As i said earlier she knows jack about the probelm. If you ask more questions they simply say that they are only customer service and this is what they know. I asked who else should i contact to get more info and she told i have to contact them only. What an idiotic organization.

the funnies thing is that NSC update for Nov 20 is just found on Immigration.com and no where else .....SO whats the reliability of that document ?
If my attorney is to be believed, USCIS will clarify on Wednesday regarding whether/how to file without receipt notice.
BTW turns out I'm with Nebraska SC too. I had just assumed I would be in TX given that I live in TX! :D

Dear All,
All the infigting and ranting we do, only creates a lot of negative energy and negative vibrations. People will continue to do what is right for them and normally try to be in the right side of the law. There is no point discussing about this.
Let us all be clear that within the next year, despite the spillover, both EB2 and EB3 will get absolutley clogged - I expect EB2 and EB3 nos to become more or less equal and clogged. This situation is not going to benefit anyone.
The only possible thing is to try sincerely for some legislative relief, unitedly. Everyone knows that it is like moving a mountain. I spoke to many friends about IV efforts and tried my best sincerely to raise money for advocacy. It was a futile exercise. I felt so sad to realize that everyone I spoke to, was cynical and said that nothing would work out in our favour. Under such circumstances, it is essential that the very few who are committed to work stay united and sincerely try! For most of us with grown up children, this is the only way! Like it or not!
Why cannot all of us atleast make a small contribution for the advocacy? What is the problem?
Again, as a person who is seriously stuck in this mess with children on the verge of completing high school, I have very little options left. Most of the good colleges are NOT willing to consider "aliens" like us eligible for instate (local) tuition. Did anyone think of this? All of us will have to pay international fees! Who can pay $ 50000 per annum? Under the circumstances, please note that many of us will have to return to India or atleast move our families! I wrote a letter to my Senator about this and I got a response saying that he cannot do anything about it. Please think about all the consequences before wasting time on endless EB2 - EB3 fights!
I also want to repeat what I had said a few months back. No immigration system that is not time bound is fair or transparent. With all the sincerity at my command (I have nothing to gain in the process) I would request youngsters in their early and mid 30s to seriously consider options in other "First World" countries which have time bound immigration programmes for highly qualified immigrants. It is an endless wait here.Do you want to spend the next 10+ staring at the visa bulletin very month? . I do not want my junior countrymen to commit the mistake of sinking in this quagmire. With due respect to all the hard work of gurus like Teddy and others, I still feel that it would take about 12 - 15 years for anyone of us waiting beyond Jan 2007 (though I do not wish for it). What would be the state of the economy then? Any thoughts?
High time we stay focused and use this forum in a positive way!
May the SUPREME POWER bless the Indian EB community!

I guess they(morons, per your definition) are all techincally correct based on past memo's explaining USCIS stand on postmark dates,last working day in a month rule, the time at which the application was received(the revised bulletin was not yet published) etc etc
no matter what, the decision of accepting the applications is at USCIS's discretion.They can reject applications received in the last week of June as well if they want to.Period.
WHICH is why we need to contact the Lawmakers NOW about this and request more transparency.

Hi,
1. I am on L1 with current company A(with current i-94 expiring in Nov 2007). I got my H1 approval this year from consultant B and they got the I-797B. This document shows the validity from Nov 2007-2010. But I have heard people get something called I-797A which has a new I-94 attached to it and in my case it is not.
Here are my questions.
1. Can I start working for consultant B from Oct 1.(after quitting the company A with L1).?
2. What should I do since I have current I-94 only till Nov 15th 2007 and if I ask my current company A to extend it they wont do because I want to leave them as early as possible before Oct 1st.
3. Can my consultant file for the change of STATUS from L1 to H1B(the approval for which I have already received from USCIS) and then in that case it will have new I-94 attached.
4. Another suggestions what should I be doing so that I can start working on H1 after Oct1st here and then whenever I go back to India, after 4 or 5 months I will have the Visa stamped.
Thanks in advance.
Re-enter USA with H1 visa stamp.

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 reason we see progress year after year with Schedule A and nothing happens in EB reform because there is no corporate support for EB reform. This is one of the reaons why we should be open for measure like 485 whenever possible, even after febuary 15th.
Maybe we need to figure out how we can involve the corporations in EB relief. The only reasons we see Schedule A relief every year because there is a strong health industry lobby driving this. the worst part about this is that these 90,000 and 50,000 which were released last year and they are trying now are comming from the unused\recaptured visas from previous years. there is no country limit in the unused\recaptured visas for Schedule A.
when it comes to us we cannot get unused visas and added to that somebody always tries to add country limit to even unused\recaptured visas. Its a double whammy for EB retrogression. May god help us.

If some one has applied for labor substitution for a better PD and I-140 a week back and wants to now file I-485 without the I-140 reciept. I guess the advise was that one can go for it. The question now is as the I-140 was filed a couple of days back does he need to provide the employment letter which in this substitution case is difficult unless the new substitution employer is willing to give. In such scenario can one file I-485 with out the employment letter.

Does anyone know the process of how USCIS updates 485 application, once 140 gets approved after 485 is filed (considering one files 485 with 140 pending receipt)?
Do we have to do anything in order to update USCIS regarding 140/485 once 140 is approved?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks!

You got me wrong. I am not saying that, we are safe side filing this way.
Its better filing than not doing anything ....As simple as that .......
If people get their receipt, well and good ....or else just file and forget .....
But dont sit idle just because ur attornery does not want to file ....
Dont think too much about the mail room or the employees or the contractos there or whoever ...........As I said, if u have receipt well and good, or else just file with other docs, but do file ....

What end result you think would be?
There are several benefits to media coverage.
You create awareness and build alliances.
You give the other party (in this case congress) an opportunity to correct the problem.
You get reporters to do additional investigate work that may help you build a case (This has already happened).
You have an opportunity to correct public misconceptions, such as that all ITIN filers are illegal aliens, and thereby reduce the chance that the public will support such action in the future.

As mentioned by some others in the same thread: a lot of employers are also taking advantage of this situation.
i was one of those who was forced to file EB3 despite qualifying very well for EB2. The pretext is job description, although same job description has personnel applied for in EB2.
Quite a few of the EB3 crowd has had no choice, but to be herded in the slowest category to benefit the employer.
How can we highlight this?
