I do not have any number in Beneficiary box.
Does that mean I do not have an A#?
Is this an issue?
Will appreciate your response.
Well, I am no lawyer, but IMHO, it should not be an issue. Several people have posted comments regarding the A# and have found that some have it, some don't.
There is a post somewhere that explains different types of A#. I am still a bit fuzzy on this.

Hello every one,
I am starting this thread for all of us not to just think about the GC process. If any one is residing here for 10 years without GC, think about making a law which can lead us to Citizenship. My thoughts on this:
Many of our colleagues who landed with us during the late 90s (1998, 1999) and early 2000, who got their GC without any issues are now Citizens or waiting to become Citizen soon.
What is our status?. Just think. Still we are strugling to get the GC. Even by law change, if we are getting the GC this year (by GOD's Grace), then we need to wait for another 5 years from now (approximately 2014). Many persons like me who have come to this Country in their later career will be very much affected due to this delay (we have lot of other issues like the dependents reaching the age of 21 etc., College, University fees etc.,).
Core team and every one, please consider this and try to lobby for getting the citizenship without further wait if the persons satisfy the folowing conditions:
1. If they are legally here for 10 years (With approved I-140 and waiting for Adjustment of Status without current date).
2. If they have earned full 40 points in Social Security
3. If they have paid the tax continuously for 10 years
4. If they own a house and paying Mortgage (adding weightage to the Economy boost)
and
5. If they do not have any criminal records in these 10 years.
Please again do not just concentrate on the GC issues. Consider this and if any one can come with a letter draft with legal openion, we can send it to all Congress members, State Governers etc.,
Hope the members and the Core team consider this issue. I have one more thread on this, which I started some months back but the response was not that good. If every one of us unite on this and raise this to the Congress, I think the new Government may consider as this is very genuine.

28.6%/5 = 5.72% for EB3-India + Spillover from EB2 and EB1, not more than 10,000 of which to "Other Workers".
28.6%/5 = 5.72% for EB2-India + spillover from EB1
28.6%/5 = 5.72% for EB1-India + spillover from EB4 and EB5
Each category is 28.6% WW Quota.

It seems the popular perception is that this is an Indian effort.
We need to correct it.
It seems some of the members who interviewed with the media got carried away with "Gandhigiri" and all things Indian. It sounds ironic, we are craving attention from Indian media while trying to become Permanent residents of USA.

Friends
Here is a suggestion, who ever decides to join Vonage now, can use a referral link from one of the member, who is already a vonage customer, so that he can get 2 months off. Now the member who got 2 months off, can either donate two months bill amount or one month (if he choose to retain one month off) to forum.;)
What do u guys think?
Infact not only this, we can use any other similar referral programs, like Direct TV 100 offer etc..
Good Idea.I'll donate 2 months amount.If someone wants to get referred please send a Private Message to me.

A# is the alien number that is given to the applicant during the GC process. It is either given at 140 approval or at 485. If you have a A# in your 140 approval then you can use that # in all your 485 forms.
To answer pranju's question, yes its only for primary applicant. You can leave that field as blank for your spouse.
Thank yoiu gcnirvana. Your post is very useful. I will use the A# that is on my I-140.
Here is what I just found:
- My EAD (from OPT) and H1B approval notice have the same A#
- My company's rep. did not put an A# in the I-140 app.
- My I-140 has a 9 digit A# which is different from the one that is on my H1 and EAD(OPT).
My question is:
If Spouse has EAD from OPT. Should s/he put that A# on their I-485?
Thanks,
Ams

I was able to find a good source of H1B data.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedoc...cteristics.pdf (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/H1B_FY05_Characteristics.pdf)
Some nuggets for FY 2005:
Number of H1B petitions approved for initial employment: 117,536
H1B petitions for intial employment where the alien was in the US: 62,292 (53%)
This is a good proxy number for H1B for applications filed by students who have studied in the US.
54% of applicants have a master's, doctorate or professional degree. 45% of applicants have a bachelor's degree
43% (a minority) of applications are from Computer Related Occupations
Median salary for H1B in computer related occupations: $60,000
Median salary for H1B in computer related occupations for initial employment: $50,000
Median salary for H1B in computer related occupations for continuing employment: $68,000
This proves that H1B employees have the power to negotiate raises and secure better working conditions as the median compensation for continuing employment is 36% higher than that for initial employment.
After seeing this data and considering the definition of median compensation, I think a good way to approach the problem of fraud is to audit all employers paying 5% below the median for the occupation.
For e.g. if the employer happened to fall into the low compensation bucket for FY 2005, then all applications from that employer for FY 2006 would face greater scrutiny.

I am in for this.
If some one has entered US legally and filed for GC, it means (most of the cases) they will wish to naturalize at some point..Technically once GC is approved path to citizenship steps up.
I like this idea of pushing for citizenship..but I would like to remove the clauses of measuring length of stay from 140-approved or 485-applied etc.
Why shouldnt we say, anyone who worked in US for 5 years (which means paying taxes etc)
should be naturalized directly ...When they can make illegals legals why not us?
Do we have a group in Linkedin? If not, I can take up the responsibility of spreading through Linkeid groups for support (I dont like facebook so I am not on it and Linkedid is supposedly a professional network)

I-485 inventory means number of 485 apps they have received or in their DB. ( simple )
I don't think USCIS will( should ) worry about the PERM applications/140-approved applications.IMHO that' be fortune-telling business for USCIS, that so many PERM/140 approvals will directly result into so many 485 applications.
I'm know USCIS trumped us before, but If I were to bet, I'd bet that these are straight-record count off their 485 applications.
Best!

"7% country speciific limit for primary applicants" and "2% country specific dependent limit" is mentioned in every bulletin published so far and so actually it is 9% limit - country specific together.
But question is " what is the meaning of it?" and "How to read it?"
Now the tables what are published in bulletin and we smash our heads daily on them are meant for "Visa number availability" not for "Physical Green card orderering".
So numbers (28.6% divided by 5 per each preference-country) are meant for USCIS to process and assign visa numbers till that limit reached.
"7% + 2%" country specific limit is meant for "Sending Greencard /Ordering Greencard".
In simplest form, EB-I will have 8008 X 3 (Without spilied over) = 24024 applications assigned Visa number this year and out of that ( 9% X 140000 = 12600) lucky ones will get their physical green cards THIS YEAR. The rest will get their physical green cards next year though their files have been assigned numbers (Pre-adjudicated.) this year.
Above mentioned explanation is the real meaning of this bullshit.
calculating and interpreting 0.07 x 0.286 for particular country is a wrong concept and I know millions of us follow that in their analysis and arguments but that is completely wrong.

How can we get this issue more visible to IV members? Just 64 letter is not enough. We are a community of 30K strong!!!
Folks,
Please start ending letters, ask/encourage your peers to send them as well.
Looks like most of IV members are being ignorant of these issue, this will be a big issue if not acted fast. We need to get it corrected before it becomes a major one. Look at DOL's unemployment figures 6.5% unemployment was announced!!!! Worst since 1994.
Please act on these.
Thanks for your support.

I just spoke to customer service .they mentioned all cell calls to india are free under this WORLD plan.who ever is signing up , can proceed , can call customer service to confirm this as well to avoid any surprise charges
bestofall - is right.
Even I am chatting with the customer rep, I have asked many questions about the artes and every time the rep said there is no charge for INDIA, we can call any type of network which is absolutely free.
Please see the below few key replies from the chat person
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Vonage World, you will have unlimited calling to landlines and cell phones in India.
That will include all types of phones and numbers,
You can only see that the chart displays the rate per minute that you would have without Vonage World plan. We do still have plans that do not include India for free therefore we need to keep the list specific to clarify the rate per minute without Vonage World.
I can assure you that with Vonage World, ALL numbers in India will be included with no additional rate per minute.

It seems the popular perception is that this is an Indian effort.
We need to correct it.
It seems some of the members who interviewed with the media got carried away with "Gandhigiri" and all things Indian. It sounds ironic, we are craving attention from Indian media while trying to become Permanent residents of USA.

psk79, Thanks a lot. It really helps lot of peoples in making calls from mobile or office landline easily.
That is exactly what smsthss is trying to tell you. To call from your mobile phone in US using vonage, you will need to have internet access for a few minutes (say a PC or better if you have an iphone;))
1. Open your browser and log into your vonage account and click on setup call forwarding.
2. Put the destination number in India (person in india that you want to call) as the number to which all calls to your vonage are forwarded to. Yes, vonage accepts 01191xxxxxxxxx number for forwarding calls.
3. Click Save.
4. Now from your mobile phone or any phone, call your own vonage number and bingo! call is forwarded to your friend in India. (Now remember to remove call forwarding or all calls to your vonage still keep going to your friend in India ;))
Now use this link - Vonage Two Free Months when you sign up using this link (http://www.cheapcent.com/blog/44-all/70-vonage-free-unlimited-calling-to-60-countries-india-china-etc-two-months-free) and enjoy two months of free calling. Also, even if you don't sign up, visit some of their sponsors (ads on their page) and keep such blogs floating.... Enjoy !!@!!
