With premium processing starting/started for EB2, imagine the speed at which non-premium cases will be dealt with.
NSC has historically been slow.

Guys, nothing happens by sulking and it is never easy. Are you so easily giving up the fight for a cause which can impact you in such a positive way? WE HAVE TO KEEP TRYING. As long as there is 1% chance I will keep working to make it 100%. We need to encourage each other and contribute to help IV in its effort and not to be demoralizing for others.

Our numbers must grow, and the immigrant community must realise what is happening on their back.
My wife does not get it in her head (now she understands a bit) all this politics, she thinks we are on h1b, and America needs us and we will become Americans soon. Such perception exists among the immigrant community. A part of the blame is these immigrant lawyers who always keep giving hope to the community.

Most probably Reid would bring back CIRcus back on senate floor on May 25 .... :mad:
Remeber that if Reid decides for cloture first and after that amendment then very high chances of passing this bill in senate because Cloture needs 60 votes but passing a bill needs simple majority i.e. 51 votes ...
Core, what is our action plan, support any single amendment and by doing that support entire bill or oppose entire CIRcus?

USCIS has F1 file. If it illegal to apply for PERM while on F1, why did USCIS not reject PERM?
If they did not catch it at PERM, why did they not catch it at the I-140 stage?
Hi Macaca:
USCIS cannot reject PERM as USCIS has nothing to do with PERM. PERM is done by the dept of labor, and this agency is not part of USCIS.
In terms of PERM, PERM is not considered an "immigrant petition" and thus would not be deemed as violation of status. PERM is berely the assurance there is no workers who want to take the job in the position beeing sought. Note, that when you go for a visa, one of the questions asked is, Have you ever filed an immigrant visa petions, or has an immigrant visa petiion was ever filed on your behalf?"
The law finds an immigrant petion only when one applies via I130 (family based immigrant petition" or I140 (employment based immigrant petition). Only filing of IMMIGRANT PETITION would constituate a violation of one's non-immigrant intent and status.
I am not an attorney, so do not take my answers for granted!

Actually I just wanted to point out the generic indifference shown towards the feeling of people of India by mainstream western media and governments - the long wait in immigration queue and ignoring the plight of Indian legal immigrant aspirants , setting a per country quota ignoring its population representation is just an extension of the same mentality... and I also wanted to point out how this mentality of deliberately ignoring Indian feelings and values is going to become increasingly irrelevant in the changing world where BRIC countries will wield increasing power.
Friend la6470, I totally understand your feelings.
However your statement "setting a per country quota ignoring its population representation is just an extension of the same mentality... and I also wanted to point out how this mentality of deliberately ignoring Indian feelings and values is going to become increasingly irrelevant in the changing world where BRIC countries will wield increasing power." can be used against the measures requested for removing the country quota.
Today inspite of the quota we are sort of demanding or in other words saying Google(US based company) should display Diwali. If country quota is abolished many more of us will beome PR and then citizens then we will be in a better position to demand the incorporation of our cultural values/ religious values in this country and thus the cultural/religious equillibrium of this country will get effected. So they will say this is the reason that the country quota should stay.
This way your innocent statement can be used against you and us. This was my concern against these type of nor immigration and matters related to only one country/region/religion being posted in this forum.
Hope you understand me.

Hi fundo14,
I saw you post regarding the case being transffered to Des Moines Iowa. My case has the exact same update as of March 19 2008. Its been like that since then. Yesterday, I spoke with an IO from NSC and she told me that my case is picked up for Extended processing. I am not sure what it means!!! I have applied for my EAD and AP renewals and asked her about the status of those in light of the pending additional processing of my I485. She told me that my EAD and AP renewals also would be held up until the additional processing is completed. On pushing again, she told me that in case my EAD is due for more than 90 days, i would have to walkin to a local center and get an interim EAD. I am inferring that it may be a pending interview call. My attroney also said the same thing. I dont have any criminal background, didnot do anything illegal in terms of immigration like being out of status or on bench.. So my best guess would be that its a pending interview. I had taken a infopass appnt last month and the officer in my local office also told me that my ead and ap renewal would not be approved until additional inquiry is completed. I am quite concerned and confused from last month as to what is wrong with my application to warrant a refusal of my EAD.
Lately, I have been observing several people have their cases transferred to Des Moines Iowa and interestingly around the 19th of the month. I am guessing USCIS moves cases around the 19th to the local offices
People plz share ur thoughts..
It just means that your case will be now processed at a local office. I mean to ask if Des M office the closest USCIS office to you? There is a good chance of interview here......its random so dont worry about it. When USCIS will call you for interview they will send a list of what to bring and you can search on IV for a post where I had mentioned what kind of questions USCIS officer asks. Hope this helps.

India does have deduction from your paycheck: its the EPF/ PF (Employee Provident Fund/ Provident Fund).
You can manage your own pension fund - its called the PPF.
EPF/PF don't allow withdrawals until you retire (i think its driven by age - 62years for men; 55 for women - but i'm guessing here)
Its not the same as social security. Its a little bit better because you pay for your own retirement and not for anyone elses.

I am in similar situation. Originally applied to NSC, got Xfr'd to CSC. Now CSC after processing EAD/AP Xfr'd my I-485 back to NSC.
ANyone in similar situation has rcvd Finger printing notices? I assume Aug 17th filers at NSC are ahead of us?
Also, i received the EADs in mail, but haven't received the AP even though online status reads AP mailed a week back. Any idea how long it takes to get AP after it online status reads approved?
Please share any information.

I agree. even if we dont change the names. Have multiple domain names which reflect more of high-tech, skilled, or other keywords related to high-tech immigration... just a thought.

How did you send your payment? Was is a personal check or a Money Order.
I renewed 5 times for myself and five times for my wife and each time I sent a money order and it went thorough without issue.
I am not sure if they accept personal checks however. You have to look into that if that was how you were attempting to pay.
Once you have the correct payment method, and have done your part, contact your congressman's office, or your senators office, and have them follow it up. You could also explain the delay and send them a copy of the relevant documents including payments. FYI, always better to call their immigration liason and develop a regular contact with them.
It will be helpful to you and also help with any lobbying efforts. I urge more of you to do that.
I've got to tell you however that sometimes, even if you do everything right, they can be late. They took 124 days once for me, and I applied 96 days ahead of the expiry. In the end, no reason, no explanation, no apology, no nothing, just an approval notice and card. It is another of the uncertainties you have to deal with as an EAD holder. Fortunately for me I had a concurrent H1b running at the time and my Lawyer suggested I continue working.

Hey, I just added this one line to the composed content and sent it to KXAN news Austin to a immigrant reporter who highlighted legal immigrant document woes (for Mexicans though) yesterday night. He replied quite promptly.
Added content:
Would you and your station be kind enough to highlight our plight? We may not be 12 million in numbers but we do contribute in dollars the same number on a daily basis
Reply from Matt Flener:
<snip>
Surendra,
Be assured I received your email and REALLY want to follow-up with you. I would love to highlight your story. I will try and give you a call this weekend, or Monday at the latest. Thank you for your email.
</snip>
If I do get a call this weekend, it would be nice to receive support from like-minded people in Austin. We could meet him at Coffee Shop or at my apartment. Alternatively, if he agress to interview via telephone, then I would love to include one from immigrationvoice core itself to highlight the woes more appropriately.
Let me know and by the way thanks for composing..

but, Once I was stopped at the airport by a security agent while travelling within US and he asked me abouit my status. When I mentioned I am on Work Visa he asked me to show the passport and Visa, I was not carrying one. I showed him my DL, He was on call with someone for 20-30min and come back returned my DL and istructed to carry the passport whenever travelling.
Per law, all H1B papers (atleast LCA) should be kept where non-immigrants work. There is no clear law for non-immigrants to hold passport/visa/EAD always with them. They recommend always to keep with you. Further, consulates( when they issue visa), won't give any specific instruction to non-immigrants to carry passport/visa always with them. However, for immigrants (LPR) it is very clear that one MUST hold orginal GC always with them. It is rule/law. The welcome notice clearly shows. Although, many dont practice, it is still a rule. I heared a story when a guy pulled off he got big trouble, when he claimed he is a LPR; and does not carry the GC.
