    mchudi,

    These are very tough and partisian bills (immigration bills). This also being an election year, some lawmakers will try to puch their own agenda. Don't expect a featherbed solution. This will be a dogfight.
    This time atleast there will be some democrats to vote for our bill, unless the anti guys find some way of preventing them from participating in it.

    Hi,

    I'm in trouble situation, maybe somebody can give advice.
    I can file I-485(Eb3 March 2005). But my wife & daugther basically out of status. Their H4 visas were not extended.
    Before june bulletin I was thinking to go back home with my daughter (she is under 18) and try to get visa in consulate. It was attorney advice. Also he suggest to file for an asylym for my wife.
    Now I'm going to file I-485 for whole family regardless what attorney will tell me.
    Is it good idea to go directly to uscis office and ask them (can I file)?
    And what will happen if their apps gets denied?

    Any ideas?

    I have the same situation. CPO change date on 5th, email on 6th. Since then, no LUD, status changes, email, or snail mail.

    No need to worry...I got my physical cards yesterday in the mail - about 7 business days after CPO update. You will get the cards soon...

    Thanks a lot for clarifying that. thats what i had in mind. but just wanted to confirm it.

    Your job description can have a clause like 'Work location, Atlanta, but beneficiary will travel to various client locations within the country and outisde the country.' This is not an issue

    EB3 ROW is also affected greatly. I am sure they would also be involved in this.

    Wow !! They probably did their homework and are prepared to hide behind some loophole in the law to clear themselves of discrimination.

    After reading the other thread link that BharatPremi had posted earlier, it seems there is a possibility that they could claim that they don't want to do sponsorship (which is legal to say so), and hiring an EAD candidate means they may have to do some amount of sponsorship, however small it might be (like providing the correct form of employment letter etc).

    Interesting policy. A lot of companies do not sponser H1b and GC because of the woes, costs and hastles associated with it, though they would love to hire the right kind of candidate. But this company is ready to pass the right candidate just because they have to provide a letter?

    L-1A
    L-1B
    Blanket L1s

    L-1A - Managers (lucky ones eligible for EB1), offlate not abused much as L-1A visa petitions are scrutinized well by USCIS (lot of RFEs). L-1B - Speciality Skilled ones.. MOST ABUSED category of L visa... Blanket L1s - Blanket petition for a large group of resources from a company ...

    ALL THE ABOVE VISA categories are banned from either

    1. Working on a client managed project (staff augmentation purpose).
    2. On any technical skilled projects other than the specific internal tools/products mentioned in their petitions (both when client/their own company manages the project).

    Dear L1Fraud,

    Great job. I could not do this as I was afraid of Personal attacks and pulling down by the Free raiders. I was lazy too. Hope you read my PM reply.

    Thanks for your commitment.

    Once again request you to please contribute to IV.

    Good luck.

    There are several threads on the subject of multiple 485 filing. These days everyone is starting a new thread, with their question without looking at existing threads and sometimes people do not even put a title that is easy to know.

    if a member who is in need of an answer to this question, can volunteer to search the forum and find the relavant posts on this topic and put their link/ copy paste on this thread, it will help everyone.

    There are several members with multiple I140 approved and both husband and wife wish to apply for their I485 to be safe.

    ... he successfully emailed and inquiry notice to NSC requesting a followup on my pending application. ...
    RpH

    So he did not insist on waiting for 90 days. When did he promise a response back? If you were not in the system, how are they going to check?

    BTW, I am also July 2, J Barret, 10:25am, No receipt yet.

    I called vonage cs too...she confirmed the 5k limit exists for residential vonage world program. Minutes are counted only against outgoing calls. 5000 min is approximately ~ 2.6 hours per day for 31 days which I think should be sufficient, unless you are running some kind of a business from home.
    In a case the 5k limit is nearing or has exceeded, vonage will send an email alerting us to this, at which point we will need to talk to their usage management team. This team will evaluate the situation for us - mostly that translates to this - if we exceed this again, they may make us get the next higher premium plan.

    Hope this helps..!

    We have no idea how many are legally porting from EB3 to EB2. I am sure many are trying but the data is not available. I dont know how you will move forward without such information.

    (Disclaimer: i am EB3 with US masters and no desire of porting to EB2)

    I always thought applying for AP when priority date is current will result in them looking at your 485 application and eventually approve it.

    I wish you getting aproval soon.

    Congrats ski_dude12. My personal opinion is that this may have delayed your greencard since July. Sometimes people get too anxious once their date is current and want to try everything that is possible to get approval. There is so much information and misinformation on forums.

    i would think that you dont need to raise any SR or other action for at least 3-4 weeks from the month your PD is current.

    i didnt do anything and the emails came to me by 7th of Sept
    maybe in some cases it helps, in some cases i heard- there have been delays

    wrong calculation 5000/2500=2. It is 2 cents perminute. Have you used C# program?:)

    Any way with vonage, one can call other friends in all other 60 counties and others part of us too..

    If 2 cents per min = 5000 X 2 = 10000 cents = $100?

    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.


    I fully support this...

    People who meet the conditions above can benefit the US Economy in a long run because...
    1)Deficits are going to be high for a long time...in trillions, and if we are allowed to apply for naturalization directly, there is a better chance for us to pay taxes to reduce the burden.
    2)If we are asked to leave now, the US is committed to Social Security payments(with the minimum 40 points) even if we are outside.
    3)By now, we already have kids who are American citizens... which means that when they become 18, they can always sponsor us as citizens. All that we are asking is for the congress to do the same a few years earlier. It is better we are here in our earning years than when we are in our older years.

    If this Bill is introduced in congress, people will listen because...
    1)People waiting for 10 years... and done all the right things, no one can simply ignore. Also, there will be a sense of guilt on the US Government to have let the situation deteriorate. They will think of ways to make the transition smoother... remember they created a special green card category for Iraqis since there was a sense of guilt.

    2) Whether this passes congress or not, there is a legitimate argument of asking for the congress to rectify the situation. That is the best we can do.

    3) We need to give more and more options to the congress. Not everything sticks, but even if one or two get passed, it goes a long way to help all of us.

    I personally will contribute bigtime if IV core want to take this up!

    LC substitution was wrong because it became a business thing for some unscruplous employers who started to sell LCs and get people to work like slaves. That being said I have no ill feelings towards people who used the opportunity to get their GCs faster, albeit by puttting in more of their money and/or working like slaves for a better life in the future (hopefully). EB3 to EB2 portability is someone trying to better his/her life after suffering in the queue forever and I have no issues with such people.

    I, therefore, cannot support this case. BTW, I am an EB2-I with Sep. 2006 PD.

    My first and only post on this issue.
