I see so many posts about people correcting names in passports. Just wondering once you change your name in passport, doesnt it get inconsistent with the name in visa and other US documents ? Did anyone get US documents corrected based on name change in passport ? I believe once you make correction in passport, to make any changes to name in visa or US documents you need a US court order for name change otherwise there will be problems in H1/ EAD/ AP extensions. Anyone with experience please advice.

Chandu - Can I Ask you something here.
Just today I was reading on the ac21 thread, how you lamented that we as a community dont stand up for injustice and how some folks are worried that writing AC21 letter may mess up their situation somehow ......
And right now , you are suggesting that the best thing is to get out of any kind of mess. So the person knew he was doing something illegal and his 8 month old kid was beaten up and you feel he paid the price and now No Problem and he should move on ???????????
Somehow, this 2 + 2 isnt equating 4 for me. What am I missing here ?
Sorry Chandu but I'm disappointed with you right now.
You misunderstood my point here. Everyone are doing things at their own risk and must be ready to face any consequences.
Our friend did know she was on tourist visa and illegal to work.
Let me explain what is happening on sulekha
You have some people advertising that they provide nannies for elderly care, child care, they provide food on daily basis and also provide cooks for occasions, services ranging from janitor work, to helping with groceries and all sorts of stuff.
This industry is big - very very big. Some agencies did tell us they have nannies on j1 visa.
We on this forum who are very vocal are the most innocent folks in the world when it comes to this kind of stuff and we have a straight tangential approach of punish someone for beating the kid.
Well - lets use our brains instead. Believe me - our community does not have any sympathy, because we are not united.
People can come on this forum and give advises - but the person who implements it must know what he can expect and that's why he posted here. Our friend is on h1b and maybe having his 485 pending and he must have careful thoughts before he leaps into something.
What is the guarantee that a certified nanny wont ill treat the child. I have heard that nannies need not beat the child but do give mild sedation to babies in their milk so that the nanny can be in peace. If a nanny is doing that do you think she will be caught on tape?
There are tons of things nannies do and you may never be aware of it or may not be caught on video tape.

Also, if what you are saying is correct- then DOS will immediately post a revised September 2008 bulletin to show India/China 'U'. So, that fresh I-485 filers won't be able to file. We have not seen such action on the part of DOS.
For example- Last year when they made July VB Unavailable on July 2, 2007; after adjudicating 25000 applicationsover the Jun. 30- Jul. 01 weekend , they immediately made an announcement on July 02, so no fresh I-485 applicants can file. The rest is history...
You said that you are from the Midwest, but your profile says that you send your application to Texas. How is that possible, All midwest I-485 applications must have gone to Nebraska Service Center.
"I am in Midwest and not all the USCIS/ASC offices treat as bad, as these guys may not have that many applicants coming to the office, like int Northeast or California."

As everyone is aware of the FOIA letters we have received from USCIS. We requested everyone to fax/email us the USCIS letter.
Here is an update on IV plans and what we know till now:
On Friday, during the discussions with USCIS, we came to know that that there is a backlog of FOIA requests and currently they are clearing FOIA requests they received in 2007. We also know from the letter that the report wll not have 'country of chargeability' info. This is a critical info that we ought to have. Even after paying 5K to USCIS, over one year wait time to get the FOIA request completed will be unacceptable to the community.
In light of these developments we have explored other options to get this data and use the copies of replies we get as an example how badly we need this data to get accurate picture of the size and breakdown of the current backlog, so that we can all know how long we need to wait in the current system, if nothing changes. We would also ideally like such data to be always available and updated for public periodically.
Our first option is that we put in effort to get this data without having to pay $5K to USCIS. We will also try to get the data much sooner rather than all of us wait for more than a year.This could be possible via advocacy effort and our initial discussions on this subject have been promising. We will pursue this and if we do not make much progress until the deadline then we may pay 5K and still pursue the advocacy option to get the data faster. Thus we need more than 5K to proceed with these parallel options. The advocacy effort will also be an ongoing task beyond the first month. Thus we request members to sign up for recurring payment option to support this initiative and any other initiative we undertake for the community.
We have added a paypal module on the top of each page with a target amount. Members can use this fresh tool added to IV website to contribute. We prefer if members contributing to the effort on recurring monthly basis for a long term support of IV efforts. All members who contribute through this system will also have access to special 'Contributor's Forum' on the IV website.
Thank You for your effort and contribution for building a stronger community.
Nice to know. Just one question, if we knew this on Friday, why not shared on Friday or over the weekend?

Hi all:
Thanks for all your advice and understanding. I could not post earlier as we were busy following up the case with the authorities. I have two lawyers on board and a wonderful, unexpected, child abuse NGO person helping us deal with the situation. Most importantly, the baby is in perfect condition after having everything scanned and reviewed with two pediatricians�.it is possible, as one person helping us mentioned that the rough handling may appear exaggerated on the video bcos low resolution cameras sometimes exaggerate slower movements into sudden and forceful movements (I don�t fully understand)- which is also ok w/ me as my child having been safe is more imp to me....at the minimum she will be deported and barred from entry, or likely fully convicted and behind bars...from what I have heard till now, we will likely not be penalized as there are some protection and immunities in these cases for those who testify (and most certainly INS will never be involved)�and at most there may be some fines�
....and to some others who have misread a few things I mentioned: a/ the baby did not remain with the nanny for even a second after we suspected something fishy b/ we were not saving money with this nanny: 350$ (plus food, commute, and phone cards is above average here even for a legal worker. Also we selected her after observing her (and earlier another nanny) at home for 2 weeks with the baby while my mom-in-law was there and all of us had felt for some reason that she was the better one��..and to everybody with kids: no matter how much you trust your nanny, however well referenced they are- use a nannycam�.you may amazed at what you see�.there is something about having the whole house to yourself with an infant that makes some people crazy- so that their suppressed anger/envy and whatever else is hidden comes out on a poor speechless baby.
Happy ending. The End.

Now on the other side, I am wondering why IV core hasn't yet posted their opposition to this idea.
Let me guess, you have been brain washed by some jerk who claims that he is GOD. So you see things around you through the prizm of that jerk, and you think that the purpose of creating a good idea is to shoot it down.
Allow me to share some common sense, which is always tough. Every idea has its time and place. Every good idea also has its time and place. Out of time and out of place idea is as good as hurting yourself. So while you sit in your rabbit hole listening to your GOD, wanting to work on the removal of per-country limits, just open your eyes and see that the world around you is much more beautiful if you don't see it with the prizm of some jerk. Hope you know what I am trying to say ....

Many guys here worry too much, just relax and live a peaqceful life. Jus think this, we are highly educated and would defintely be able to make a living anywhere in the world, not just US. Don't worry tooo much and think others have no work and want to fool you guys.
Just my 2 cents......
lol.. well said dude.. you may already know, but happy news digests better.. i dont know if what you are saying is true or not, although I wouldn't be surprised if it is true given what we've seen before. anyway, when you come up with something like this, you trigger massive defense mechanisms of people who are refreshing iv/cris every few minutes. so u shudnt be surprised by the responses.

You are very good critic, I hope your criticism will lead people into right direction.
ya, lets step-up a poll and have everyone vote, as if this is the US congress. And after voting leave it for someone else to work on this and other "brilliant" idea. There needs to be a reality check. This poll doesn't mean anything unless there are enough people to spend time and energy at every level. But ya, lets setup a poll and have everyone vote, it will give everyone a feel good factor that everyone contributed in the advocacy effort, how? by voting in the pool and not doing anything about how everyone votes.

Thank's

Isn�t it odd that the timing of your rally coincides with the introduction of the Strive act?
Granted you scored a point when you were allowed to file for employment authorization this July. If your one rally worked, do you really think other rallies will work too? The world of politics is driven by numbers; you do not have enough numbers to get any lawmaker interested. So wake up Macacas, admit it, you all are bunch of losers.
So far as the skills are concerned, you have been harping on the theme that you are highly skilled? If the definition of highly skilled is a mere undergrad degrees then 75% of Adult Americans are highly skilled. I bet not even 5% of you have PHDs and you call yourself highly skilled. Huhhh
And this for the leadership of your organization: You are wasting your time. If you are so desperate to get green cards contact me. We will see what we can do� One thing I believe though is this country needs people with leadership skills and not so called "Highly Skilled". So I will be more than happy to work with you. I am sure you have my e-mail address. At the least, I can help make the process faster for you, if so called visa numbers are available.
Who the heck are you? How skilled are you and what leadership skills do you have? Cut the crap! Take a chill pill...........
Remember.....After all each and every drop makes the ocean and without each drop the mighty ocean is weak...Each drop shall become as a boundless sea..and that is IV..who are you to talk about our numbers..IV's honest and sincere effort(s) will certainly be highly successful sooner or later...It is because of this fear losers like you visit our FORUM.
So Admit it, that you just dont have it in you to accept our EFFORTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IV,
Great news finally and with not too much waiting.
!!!!!!GREAT JOB !!!!!!!
I have no words to thank you all who were so determined to get this straightened. I was not really expecting this great news after so much disappointment and uncertainity. One thing I strongly believe is the VOICE which was needed and IV proved it by getting us all together. We must all realize that such targets can be possible only for such voice and its possible not by just one or two. We have selected a date and struck the right chord with flowers. Good job,. Please keep up the spirit and never forget to thank all those who contributed and even those who did NOTcontribute or wanted to hear us. That way the reps will know how the other party felt and is thankful and will try to really understand why it meant so much to such a huge highly educated community,.
Though rather new to this site and infrequent visitor, I was checking your site off late quite often and I really like it.
Thanks,
Sri.

Well, I just successfully contributed my 2nd $100 to IV. There is just no way we are going to give up this time. It is not going to come easy, especially not without the relatively small financial sacrifice. But the return --Immeasurable peace of mind and relief. Lets wish ourselves good luck & keep each other motivated.
