I respectfully disagree, he is the president of USA and to its citizens, you might morally/personally declare him to be your president, but as long as your passport is not from USA you my friend are an alien (not extraterrestrial) living in the US of A :), please dont take this personally I am in the US too, and I got my passport recently renewed, and I had to pledge my allegiance in order to get my passport. It's just a law point. And I wish you all the best in your endeavor. Bharat mata ki Jai.
Dear Friend, I am totally correct to congratulate and call Mr. Obama as our President. He is definitely our President, since we live in US soil. As I aspire to become a US citizen ( I know a long way ahead) I should love US more than any other country in the world.
I dont believe in staying at one place and think of another place. US is very special in my heart that is why I want to become an US citizen eventually. I want to blend in the melting pot of US.
I hope most of us immigrants feel the same way for the country we want to permanently live in. We did not select our country of birth but we have selceted US as our country to live in. So I feel I should love US more as I have selected this country as my country to be.

Nope ur PD has to be current for them to process your AOS and Aug is already unavialable so there is no way they will process ur paperwork. Also I think within 60 days of AOS you can add spouse. You should talk to a lawyer and not use other people's judgement to decide to file or not to file. But, will there be a scenario where my AOS gets approved before my PD is current AGAIN? That is what I am afraid of.

What if DMV refuses to renew the license if I-94/H1 is extended for 1 year (mostly in the case of H1 extension beyond 6th year) but is not stamped on your passport. This happened with me. DMV officer insisted on visa stamped on my passport and he was not ready to accept the I-797 form which I was showing. Finally, I've to go to other DMV and count on my luck to get my license renewed.
This is a as much a problem with DMV as a problem with employees. I did not 100% agreed with your comments that it's a problem with an employer. Now a days even filing 6 months prior to expiration is not guranteed to give you a timely approval.
In Florida, no matter if you have 1 yr or 3yrs I-94/Visa, they only issue you a license for 1 year. Period. Florida..anyway sucks.
Also, can someone tell me, once you get an EAD, can we use that to get the license renewal?
Yes, I agree with you. Asking for valid visa stamp is too much, the latest I-797 and latest valid I-94 should be enough to get driver's license, because latest valid I-94 proves that you are legal and that's enough. Passport stamp is not neccesary to prove legal status.
The sad part is that employers should get involved with state legislature and state regulators, DMV etc to make sure their foriegn workers have ability to get driver's license based on approved I-797. Its a mess.

Politicians always want to keep issues alive! If issues go away, there is nothing to fight, nothing to talk in the elections; without issues you cannot get "bulk" support from any specific group! So, the so called CIR will remain a "perpetual carrot". It will never happen in our life time.
We are all mature, educated people from a highly politically conscious environment! So...we are not naive, I am sure!
I take this opportunity to summarize a few things which have happened in the context of "long term indentured" labourers like us:
1. Quantum jump in terms of H1 ---> about 8 / 9 years back [happened because of pressure from corporations and their lobbies, nothing to with us. they wanted cheap labour and more profits!]
2. "Free for all" L1s ---> There is no cap, no specialty skill requirement. Not even sure if this has a min wage like H1. Why? Only because it serves the interests of the corporations to import 80% of the work force in any project!
3. Yearly H1 extensions based on Labour approvals / 3 year extensions for I 140 cases ---> When the "slaves" started returning after 6 years (without GCs being approved) the corporations growled and again the lobbies worked day and night. This has nothing to do with our pleading!
4. AC 21 ---> This is a good feature with a humane angle, but again there is NO WRITTEN MEMO permitting the employees to switch jobs 6 months after receving their EADs! This has been clearly articulated in a new item by Murthy.com! So AC21 is NOT a fool proof mechanism!
If the employer withdraws his I 140 there is a fair chance that 485 might be denied. (as per Murthy.com, there are a number of cases where such denials have happened). Again INS will never issue a memo, because it will antagonize the corporations
5. EAD / AP merger ---> this is a minor change in procedure, an admin fix! This is not a policy change. Full credit to several immigration forums and pleadings. However, this is not going to help many of us as our AP / EAD dates vary by several weeks and we might not be able to file them together
So, after 10 + years pleading, we have been able to get an admin fix :) That is amazing!!! Under the circumstances we cannot even dream of any legislative support or correction! Instead of Chinese / Indians in the endless line had citizens of the EU nations been affected, everything would have been fixed ages back!
Everyone is interested in the illegals and their "hard working" school children! That is because of the money, muscle, vote power they wield! Even if they were to have 1% of the law on their side, they would have achieved their objective ages back! They are holding us hostage because we have 100% of the law on our side and they have 0% of the law on their side. Otherwise, why should we law abiding immigrants be grouped with people who jumped fence?
Think...does this make sense at all? Correct me if I am wrong! I will accept my mistakes with all humility!
How is the CIR even relevant in our case? Did we do anythng illegal????
What are we all waiting for? ~ ~ ~
Honestly, NOTHING but the WILL of the SUPREME POWER can help us !!! (more than 99% of the population are believers, anyway)
Youngsters in the early to mid 30s with "non US citizen kids" please think seriously. Do not waste your time in this mess for decades. We have all suffered for 10 - 12 years now and have no options. If you cross the age of 40 then you cannot immigrate to any western country because you will lose in the "points system". It would be a good option to live in countries who have a clear cut time bound program which does not discriminate on the basis of your nationality.
When the corporations wanted you and I, H1 was increased - no one was bothered about your nationality at that time. Today when we want a future for our family and kids, people talk about quota and diversity! This is what is known as "Having the cake and eating it too"
Remember, the system has been designed to support and ensure long term indentured labour to sustain the greedy corporations! There is no place for empathy or compassion. It is business! It is money! Free market enterprise works this way!
If we are expecting miracles, we are chasing a mirage!!!
May the SUPREME POWER bless the EB2 / EB3 communities and give them the strength, resilience and the patience they badly need!!!

As a time gap arrangement see if you can get your license from your home country.
Worst case if asked by a cop atleast you will have that.
Yes, I am also in the same boat. Filed my 9th year extension in March, responded RFE during 1st week of August. Mine will be expiring in 3 more days. Hoping to get the extension soon.

Guys please don't waste your time in dreaming for OCI, unless one of the parents has non Indian citizenship. PIO is the only option if both parents have Indian passport (citizenship).
PIO typically takes 30 days, so be hurry and apply if you are thinking to apply, its very essential thing for us to have after baby's birth.

Jokes apart, by now USCIS knows dual effect of cut off date advancing. It makes visa available for I-485 filers with PD prior to the new cut off date. It also invites additional I-485filings with eligible PD's. In an effort to finish with leftover visas in September, USCIS might move cutoff dates upto July 07, but not beyond. They know, doing that will get them more I-485 filings for which they are not prepared.
Let us see what comes out for September. If there is a big movement, as in the past, some lucky ones will get GC ahead of others.

Did you get copy of approval notice for I-140? I mean I-797 approval notice for I-140.
I got only I-140 application copy with labor and not the approval notice with the help of FOIA.
You're welcome.
Yep. Got copies of labor, I-140 forms and approvals via FOIA. :)

Is there anyone here that truly believes that the legislators will not pass something before the end of the year to recapture the remaining 50K visas left for recapture for schedule A? If yes then this whole argument is kind of null and void. They are not going to leave nurses and PTs high and dry, not with the kind of shortages looming.

From some of the posts I found that some folks are concerned that it took so long to find and recognize talent from India at Oscars. Some felt Richard Attenborough's and Danny Boyle's movies got recognition whereas other Indian directors are not reaching the pinnacle.
Even though OSCAR is recognized globally, it is an American movie award (Yes there are exceptions in some categories of OSCAR -- such as Foreign Movies etc). So, because of that reason, normal Indian and other Foreign movies are not eligible to be considered for the OSCAR. It is the same reason why Hollywood movies are not getting awards at the National Film awards in India!!!
What I meant was, a particular movie has to meet certain eligibility criteria to be considered for the OSCARs. So, if a Bollywood movie directed by a Bollywood director meets those criteria, that movie can compete in the OSCARs.
So, In essence there is not that much discrimination at Hollywood - I found Hollywood as a place which embraces all cultures and beliefs. Hollywood is the real catalyst for the American melting pot theme.
This argument is not a personal one targeted at anyone. So - Please try to avoid personal level attacks - Instead criticize the argument - that will make this argument more interesting!

http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/rules/rule02.html
Major Rules for consideration at Oscar are:
1. All eligible motion pictures, unless otherwise noted (see Paragraph 9, below), must be:
a. feature length (defined as over 40 minutes),
b. publicly exhibited by means of 35mm or 70mm film, or in a 24- or 48-frame progressive scan Digital Cinema format with a minimum projector resolution of 2048 by 1080 pixels, source image format conforming to SMPTE 428-1-2006 D-Cinema – Image Characteristics; image compression (if used) conforming to ISO/IEC 15444-1 (JPEG 2000), and image and sound file formats suitable for exhibition in commercial Digital Cinema sites,
c. for paid admission in a commercial motion picture theater in Los Angeles County,
d. for a run of at least seven consecutive days,
e. advertised and exploited during their Los Angeles run in a manner considered normal and customary to the industry, and
f. within the Awards year deadlines specified in Rule Three.
2. Films that, in any version, receive their first public exhibition or distribution in any manner other than as a theatrical motion picture release will not be eligible for Academy Awards in any category. (This includes broadcast and cable television as well as home video marketing and Internet transmission.) However, ten minutes or ten percent of the running time of a film, whichever is shorter, is allowed to be shown in a nontheatrical medium prior to the film's theatrical release.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Slumdog Millionaire” would have excluded from OSCARs if it went straight to DVDs as per the initial assumption of its producers. Fox Searchlight rescued this movie and because of that it met all the rules above and included in the OSCAR competition.

You have to remember that Schedule A is a one time 50K cap. DOS mentioned that the category will be eliminated from VB soon. They expect to hit the 50K cap by the end of this month and thats why they will not accept any more new applications from then. So who ever were able to sneak in under that category, will get their GC. There will not be a Schedule A category unless congress approves again.

We ( myself and my wife ) applied at Texas Service Center , Dallas Lockbox.
- Appiled on Jul 7th
- mine approved on Sep 10th
- wife's approval on Sep 16th
After like
50days - spoke to National service center ( No help )
56 days - wrote an email to the POBox printed on the receipt notice ,explaining about my situation that i have already purchased tickets and need to travel on Oct 8th . Consider this factor under financial loss and expedite, added 4 photos , 2 each., invoice from travel agent, and attached receipt notice copy. ( not sure if that helped ).
later that day - I booked infopass appointment
next day - I saw SLUD on my case.
Sep 10th - I got text ( from the USCIS online profile ) noting approval,
next day - called NSC and asked why my wife's case is not approved yet, they said they will process individually , and it takes upto 30days to receive the AP copy.
but after 3days i got the physical approval. For my disappointment they didnot processed my wife's case along with mine.( we sent together ).
Then we called NSC explaining,but this time i could tell mine was approved and her is still pending and explained to expedite based on financial loss. she accepted it and sent a notice to local office, but also alerted us its discretionary.
On Sep 16 we got approval text message for my wife too.
after 3 days we got the physical copy for my wife, also got the letter in a different envelop about the "Acceptance of expedite process " ( well it was no use, but thats how their systems are inlined ) :eek:
Out of curiosity we were tracking other AP receipt notices ( by altering last few numbers of ours and they showed same receipt dated ) online in case status window. it showed one applicants approval was done and the adjoining applicant was kept pending for few days. after we got my wife's text message, we searched again those other APs and surprisingly all those got approved as well.
My recommendation to others in hurry ,if they crossed 50days , try taking info pass , talk to NSC . just donot leave it at its pace.

These are the talking points that AILA is suggesting for calls made to the Senators, as one can see AILA's focus is broad and I'm not sure how else they could have been of help when they are doing essentially what IV is doing ie calling, faxing or lobbying with a broad based approach. They possibly could put IV's news releases or messages as part of what has been sent to the Senate. I urge everyone visit this link (http://www.aila.org/RecentPosting/RecentPostingList.aspx) and see what pro-immigrant groups are doing or saying which is not significantly different from what IV is doing :
Call your Senators (http://capwiz.com/aila2/callalert/index.tt?alertid=8554496&type=CO)
(please call between 9am & 5pm)
Ask For: Immigration Staffer
Talking Points:
1) Tell your Senator to support the Judiciary Committee's comprehensive immigration reform bill!
2) Tell them that we need a workable solution and path to eventual permanent status for the 12 million undocumented!
3) Tell them that we need a new temporary worker program that offers labor protections and a path to permanent status!
4) Tell them that the family and employment backlog provisions in the Chairman's Mark are good and should remain in the bill!
5) Tell them that full access to the Circuit Courts of Appeal must be preserved!

If you are in IT-only discrimination you will face is against a fellow IT worker who is willing to work 14 hours a day.Caste ism politics is valid for less fortunate 70% of indian population who are not part of urban India.
I really doubt that anyone who is posting on this forum belongs to that group.So please don't bring unrelated topics while discussing -who is giving on frustrations of H1-B

Disclosure : I have already received 2 year EAD (thanks to IV). I have taken initiative to bootstrap the effort to help others who haven't been so fortunate. Since we are all in the same boat let us watch each others back for a change, instead of trying to backstab each other at every available opportunity.
This is NOT a yet another case tracker /EAD tracker thread. I don't believe that just tracking stuff will change anything. Be it EAD issue or any other, real world action is needed to solve it.
I have started this thread to guage the impact this issue has had on our community , how many members are affected, what actions have been taken by them, so that next steps can be taken. If a large number of members are impacted IV may decide to take up the issue.
Here are the options available to applicants
1) Call National Customer Service Center and create a Service Request (SR) to expedite the case
2) Fax and mail a letter to Service Center requesting to expedite the case due to possibility of job loss. Since the burden of proof is on the applicant - a letter from the company that EAD is necessary for continuation of job may help.
3) If steps 1 and 2 don't produce the results and CRs refuse to open SRs citing silly reasons, USCIS Ombudsman may be approached.
Here's how you can do that - http://www.dhs.gov/ximgtn/programs/editorial_0497.shtm
4) Approach your US Congressmen/women Representative/Senators. Every office has a different form for requesting Immigration help. They can open an inquiry with USCIS on your behalf.
Following the above (4) steps is no guarantee that your case will be resolved. But it is necessary that we follow all possible avenues before the issue needs to be escalated. We shouldn't feel embarassed at the question "Did you follow up with all these avenues available to you?". Our answer should be - "Yes. We did all that and it didn't help". And we should be able to produce the proof that we did do all the four steps mentioned above.
If you have done all the four or after you have exhausted all avenues, AND are willing to take it further - speak to the media, participate in possible IV campaign etc., post your details. We need members ready to go public with the issue if we want to succeed.
Right now, I have started this as an individual initiative. But I am sure that IV will get involved once it's proven that a large number are impacted and there are enough members to turn it into a campaign.

Can anyone tell me how to open an SR so that I can expedite my application on the basis of financial loss. I have applied for AP in august 2010 and I have travel plans in 1st week of December. Thanks in advance.
