    Guys,

    Here are my thoughts:
    ---------------------

    There are Four group of people (Became current with July bulletin) who are affected and suffered.

    1) The people whose applications reached to USCIS before 10:00 AM
    07/02/07, i.e. before USCIS's new revision/update.

    Note: Legally this group is the SAFEST one as their file reached to the
    USCIS table on time while USCIS's first bulletin was in effect. Their
    case is strong as far as "Law and Justice" is concerned.

    2) The people whose applications reached on 07/02/07 but after USCIS's
    declaration of new revision.

    Note: This group can be fit in a category "Who did not receive ample
    notice from USCIS for its intention to change the bulletin. And so
    may be considered "Probable beneficiaries" by the judiciary

    3) The people whose applications reached or will reach to USCIS from any
    time between 12:00 AM 07/03/07 to 11:59 PM 07/31/07.

    Note: This group will have a "Strongest" weak argument and case. Their
    act of sending files perhaps may not be considered "Law-abiding" as
    they have already received ample notice from USCIS and clear
    statement of USCIS about "Rejecting applications upon receiving"
    then also this group sent the applications.

    4) The People who will not send applications at all with respect to the
    USCIS's revision.

    Note: In my oinion and mostly I believe in Judiciary's opinion thsi group will
    be considered "Law-abiding" and who acted as per USCIS's
    instruction within the periphery of respecting legal authority.

    Now other points to be noted are as under:
    -----------------------------------------

    DOS and USCIS screwed up? Yes... Did not happen ever and now it happened , yes.. People suffered stress..expenses.. yes. Now what we must stress on is one time bulletin per month is a tradition and it is a long time tradition but probably DOS has a power to change that... It seems that there is no such law that DOS can not do that so there exactly Lawsuite filer may have a week case. Nos USCIS is supposed to follow DOS and make bulletin as per DOS's guideline and that is what USCIS did so where is the "Law-Breaking" ? USCIS acted perfectly in legal manner. Probably if Lawsuite filer decide to file the lawsuite on the basis of "Why the helll USCIS decalred "All Current" at the first place" then there they have a chance to make a case strong but if they go another route like "Why USCIS revised the bulletin" then I personally do not see "much worth".

    Now having said this, to me it looks like whether you file till in July or not OR whether you become plantiff or not, it should not matter. AILF and/or any other organization ethically and perhaps legally can not define "Class" narrowly to the limited group of people. If real justice is prevalent in this country judiciary should not allow any entity to define "Class" narrowly. To me "ALL affected" is the "Class" and if judiciary is considering it as a "class action" then it should consider "All affected" as a class. Now US justice system would go this way, I do not know but if it is not going that way then I would consider that as abig black loop hole in justice system itself. My guess is that if AILF would go defining "Class" narrowly, there will be some mechanism by which individually or with group you should be able to challenge that legally as well.

    Now Judiciary, in my opinion may not take stand that ok this is a "Class lawsuite" and now Mr.X has become the plantiff so he would only be the beneficary if lawsuite is won. Either ALL affected should be considered for whatever the benefits come out ot everbody looses it. Same argument goes for people who are not filing. By not filing they are obeying the leagl instruction of government department of USA and for that they should not be punished and can not be punished by not granting any benefit to them whereas granting the benefits to the people who clearly challenged USCIS's revision by filing from 07/03 and onwards....

    If USCIS is smart, it should accept all files now and create the process to have them rotted in the queue for years and that way it will be able save it face and limit on visa numbers wil automatically send whole bunch of files for eating the dust for years.

    I personally see our strong point only at have reimbursement of the money and time if "We are not getting current before one year (Validity of Medicals)

    Any thoughts?

    How do you define "All effected"?

    reality is, a contraction of US growth of this magnitude was never anticipated...there is strong fear of deflation!

    its a do or die situation for immigrants. regardless of the visa status EAD , H1, L1, B1...or Z1.. the only hope of us to get a temp fix which helps the housing/eb crisis..

    So your solution is to open a thread with new annonymous ID and blame all Telgus for your problems

    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24064&page=5

    I saw that you posted with your ID and then deleted it to avoid being caught. Now tell me who is fake?

    Why dont you do something instead of blaming IV and Telgus

    Since you ask - the answer is YES. Not sure if you have heard of the "Servant Leadeship" but that is a management philosophy that believes an organization makes the most progress when the "leaders" at the top take the attitude of being "Servants" to those below them. The idea is based on the simple premise that people are more engaged and motivated to work when their boss listens to them and takes the trouble to keep them updated on what is going on. Instead, "Leaders" can always take the "high and mighty" road where they look down upon those below them (for various reasons - lack of trust being just one of them) but that is never going to be as effective or efficient as the former model I just mentioned. Don't take it from me though - feel free to do your own research on this topic and you will find that an increasing number of companies are starting to adopt this philosophy in order to achieve superior results and you don't have to look far to see how this is being practised in the world of politics today (President Obama)..

    I have one question for you:
    Are you willing to copy paste what you have written above and send it to your VP and CEO of the company and ask them to behave like your servants because this is the best philosophy for a company to progress? :D:D

    Please also ask them to be transparent and keep all employees informed of all discussions because you contribute your sweat and blood for the company?

    Can you do that?

    Likewise can you write this to your lawyer and ask him to behave like a servant because you pay him lot of money? :D:D

    Come on. Just because we have this open forum where we can hide our identity does not mean we can write anything. On this thread I see 2 anti-immigrant, anti-IV posters. They pose as regular members and whenever anyone posts such thread they do not lose any opportunity to attack.

    Let me share my experience with IV. Initially I did not know much about IV and when my friends said lot of good things about it, I always dismissed them and never came to the site. Then one day I decided to check myself and contacted IV and a core member was nice enough to explain everything. My senior member friends from my town were also helpful in explaining. So I will let them do the good work they are doing. I know I cannot spend so much time on social service that they do. I would rather spend my time on the beach playing beach ball.

    Thanks nrk. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I was current for two months in 2008 but did not get. So hoping for the best this time but again I would not be surprised if I don't get it, especially looking at USCIS/DOS works.

    I was current in 2008 and then got RFE for me and for my spouse in 2008. We provided the evidence then. The status changed from RFE to RFE Review on Aug-1-2010.

    Call yourself a shoplifter, but you are really a petty criminal. You have yourself proved so by pleading guilty.
    I am surprised that you have not been deported. It people like you who bring a bad name to the whole Indian immigrant community.
    Far as I am concerned, unless you hae situation of life and death, you must not steal. The only other scenario, where theft could be pardoned is if you are out of work, have no money, have no friends who would help you, have been turned out by the local soup kitchen and the food bank, and have starving children at home and you decide to pich a loaf of brad from a store
    Other than that, no excuse.

    For all who replied well to my thread.. Thanks a million. to whom, trying to blame me etc.. If you want to reply with good answer you are welcome to do so...else DON'T EVEN REPLY.
    Now another question to you guys who are blaming me......
    Did not you guys ever used office stuff/taking printouts of ur personal use/ using ofice phone for personal use etc in your life? If you have done so.. YOU ARE ALSO THIEVES. YOU did not get caught, thats the basic difference...

    Thanks guys

    Have fun!!!

    Has anybody filed lawsuit against uscis for EAD delays till now ? And what is the process for this, do we need a lawyer ?

    You do not need a lawyer, I can guide you thru the process :) Yes, I know a few cases where plaintiff requested court to force the USCIS to issue EAD. Some people were waiting more than a year! Those cases were usually bundled with I-485 WoM. One case is well-known class action lawsuit Ngwanyia v.Ashcroft, No.02-CV-502 (D.Minn.). Government promised to issue EAD within 100 days for the class.
    http://www.ailf.org/lac/lac_020905.pdf
    However I think you better of waiting 90 days from the receipt date and then requesting EAD on infopass. Lawsuit is not a speedy process, the government has 60 days to respond to your complaint and that's not the end of it.

    This issue about parents falls under the "family re-unification" issue to a certain extent.
    It affects everyone not just EB category. There is a huge support behind this issue from many different immigrant groups.

    Does any of you know what rights for maternity leave has a pregnant H1B visa holder? I want to stay home next year for 3 months to take care of my baby, then start working again.
    From what I know I can only have the 6 weeks of short term disability.
    The Maternity Act does not apply in my case because the company I'm working for has under 50 employees.
    I asked my lawyer if I can take any unpaid leave without loosing my H1B status and her answer was that I can change my visa to H4 or become a part time employee for a while. I do not like any of this options because I'm in my I140 stage with my green card and I do not want to lose it at this stage, after waiting for years to get my labor cert approval.
    Your answer would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Guys,

    There seems to be little outdated information on this forum.

    1. We can not apply for the medicals if you have opted for the CP. You have to do medicals only in the place where your case will be transfered from NVC.
    example: If your case is transferred to Chennai consulate. you have to do your medicals in chennai from the list of doctors they provide.

    2. Once your I 140 gets approved, your application will be transferred to the NVC for further processing if you opted for the CP.

    3. Once NVC receives the approved 140 it will then notify the attorney or yourself with Fee bills to be paid.

    4. Once you send the cachiers check for the CP processing, NVC receives the same and send the Packet 3 which is the FORM DS 230 Part 1 to the attorney of records.

    5. Once you receive the DS 230 Part 1, you will have to fill that and send it back to NVC.

    6. NVC complets the proccessing and will keep the file at NVC until the Priority dates become current.

    7. Once it becomes current, NVC forwards the case to the respective consulate for further processing and scheduling of appointments.

    8. once the consulate receives the same depending on their appoinment schedule will schedule an appoinment and will go on from there.... issuing the visa..

    With Respect to me...

    My 140 got approved in jan 2007,
    sent to NVC in march
    NVC sent the fee bill in April
    Sent the bills back to NVC in April.
    Received packet 3 DS 230 part 1 in May 2007
    sent the filled out form in May 2007,
    NVC forwarded the case to chennai consulate on June 5th
    Waiting to get any news from chennai consulate.....

    Hope this clarifies every one in this forum

    I can categorically state that once a category retrogresses, any I-485s with PDs later than the cut-off date DO NOT get approved.

    This happened to 1000's of us in EB3 in 2005 when EB3 RoW became 'Unavailable' after we had concurrently filed I-140.

    Now, this does not mean that processing stops (I got 2nd fingerprinting, etc), it just means that the I-485 cannot be approved until PD is reached. Since my PD (03-may-02) has now been reached, my approval is mere weeks away --- because processing continued up to the point of approval.

    Now, Schedule A's of course, benefit from being able to look at TWO categories (Schedule A and either Eb2 or EB3, depending on how their I-140 was slotted). Whichever of these has a cut-off after their PD, will be the category they get approved under.

    Assuming you get your 485 approved in a week or two, can you tell us how long it took for them to process your 485? If you tell me your receipt date of 485, that will be sufficient. Thx.

    This is exactly what I thought when one of my son's friend was working very hard on spelling bee and needless to say he reached the topmost level in that event. As a parent I fail to understand why championing the spelling bee is of such a great importance for a child's all-round growth.

    This whole spelling bee thing is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. By any standards, it is pure and simple torture to subject the kids to memorizing thousands of words and their stupid spellings. And what use is that? Have they never heard of something called SPELL-CHECK in Microsoft Word and other email services ?

    Or are they afraid that their kid will go to a job interview and someone might ask them to spell the word that no one on the planet ever uses and is only present in the Oxford Dictionary.

    Those who subject their kids to such a regimented, rigorous, scripted childhood are preparing a next generation of work-force that would only know how to follow the orders and accept directions.

    85 % of the fortune 500 CEOs are not MBAs. And the other 15% that have an MBA, only 3 of the 15 have done MBA from an IVY LEAGUE school.

    What that tells you is that too much education and scholarly childhood increases your job security, in that sense that you will never be unemployed, but it decreases the chances that you will be on the top or you will be a billionaire.

    The biggest prize goes NOT TO people who can follow directions and know everything, but who can GIVE directions and get things done.

    Well,that's fine then. Let's see how posts you will get saying how to find good jobs in Canada. Bye.

    All I can say is that everyone has their personal reasons for the decisions they make. This thread is information exchange thread for those who are looking to move to Canada. This isn't about why one should go one place vs another.

    I welcome you to start another thread where ppl can debate whether they should move to India or consider moving elsewhere. In fact, I will be happy to discuss the options there. But I request ppl to not divert the focus of this thread.
