in that case it ...we should have a wall of shame section & tag members...;)
but the point is how much of micromanagement can u do on a "free" forum!
anyway..
HateIV was an extreme case..
What happens to an employee at any company who has done something positive but has been caught abusing his colleagues a few times. He gets warned by HR first and then gets fired right.
We have lot of things to focus on to get relief for our community and there is no reason to tolerate this behaviour towards fellow members.

I just don't understand one basic question.
Congress is trying to pardon 12 million illegals as a one time measure and give them Green Cards. (OK - Very good)
On the other hand we are about half a million who entered the country legally and helping the U.S. economy and paying taxes. Why don't they consider giving all of us Green Cards as a one time measure too ?????
We the legals... pay taxes, contribute to this economy by spending earned money here in the US, abide by the rules, carry medical insurance.
We keep doing this, till we get our green cards or till we permanently leave this country. It is a win - win situation.
The strict H1-B rules that are added to this Senate bill will be removed or some work around will be sorted out or else the US economy will go down.
The question now is how confident we are that they will get an amendment to give us some EB visa relief.
The high tech employers have a problem with the new merit based system which is going to take away the reins of holding an employee from them. Employers of other industries have raised their concern against this new system which gives more points to degrees and not skill. This system is also causing a lot of concern among the familiy members here.This system will take a lot of time to kick in.
1) The tech lobbyist can add pressure to give relief to current members in backlog so that they can hire them soon. They know that many skilled people are stuck with their companies because they can't switch due to the GC process.
2) Can add pressure by saying that they need us now and not after 5 years when we get our GC.
3) We need to force them to understand that they should give relief to legals too when they are doing a lot for the illegals.
That is all I think can be possible.

I disagree with waitingnwaiting. I had got 221G about 5 years back. I work for one of the fortune 500 company and had all the paperwork sent by our company's professional law firm. US embassy randomly picks application for processing. It took abt a month to get the approval. As long as the application/documentation is correct and there is nothing to worry.
I would suggest to spend more relaxed time with family or going out which we rarely get with 3-4 weeks vacation.
It does not matter if you work for fortune 500. There could still be fraud or suspecion. Read Indian IT cos face US visa fraud woes - Corporate News - livemint.com (http://www.livemint.com/2011/04/11164715/indian-it-cos-face-us-visa-fra.html)

In the Land of 10000 Lakes(Minnesota), State DL issues DL only till your I-94 validity.
I was waiting for my H1 Approval and that didnt turn up in time before my current one expired. (Thx to Extremely Efficient USCIS) The State revoked my Spouse's license and she was told that she cant drive till she produce a document that states we are legal here.
Fortunately they accepted my receipt notice and gave her 90 addl days to prove our Legal Status. What a Hassle...

Before Nebraska service center retrogressed their processing dates I was able to speak with an IO. I asked her a few questions relevant to this.
There maybe a public USCIS rule / procedures that would confirm what she told me.
Q) When is the name check typically initiated
A> Soon after receipt
Q> Is my name check cleared.
A> wait a moment..... yes
I've also explained why Nebraska processing dates moved back...
1) Transfers from Texas
2) VB moving forward coupled with no pre-adjudication. Therefore they have to go back to older receipt dates.
3) 180 day name check rule taking effect -- clean up old cases.
4) Public processing date was internally known to be too far ahead of reality (and therefore causing service requests).
Now could USCIS hide behind name check now?
Probably not for more than 180 days, because you could file a WOM and win.
Can they stagnate processing dates --- yes, and there is a risk that they will around 2nd July 2007 date (last year's fiasco -- if I need remind anyone). That would make me barking mad since my receipt date is about 59 days before that.
A WOM will likely succeed when an individual is arbitrarily processed more slowly, and now name check is not an excuse. However, a WOM is much less likely to succeed when a whole group is processed slowly, since USCIS can always claim resource constraints. The happened with labor cert and BECs, the case(s) that I read the judge basically said to speed up one application would slow down another. So you need to show that you are behind the reasonable processing times with respect to others, then you can force USCIS's hand.

Exactly.
Chances are Obama never even saw your letter, his office has an aide who has a saved format of this letter which is printed out with your name and adressed.
But keep writing and keep calling. They might listen.
Its called a form-letter.
The staff writes those.
They use the same letter and change the name and address of the constituent and copy-paste the generic position on immigration.
That is the reason you are seeing a letter that casts a wide net on immigration issues, like border security, illegals, etc. etc. The staff would send out the same letter to all constituents who are writing for or against immigration or any issue related to immigration.
All lawmakers have staff who repond to communication from constituents and 99% of the time, you get a form-letter response...the one-size-fits-all letter. The audacity of form-letters. ;)

Interfile means 'amending the existing application'.
When you file a new I-140 application , you may also ask to recapture the old PD from your earlier approved I-140. This is interfiling. The new and old I-140 can be from the same or different employers.
After getting a new I-140 with old(recaptured) PD, you can ask to amend your existing I-1485 application to be upgraded from Eb3 to Eb2.

I think its more than 3 since I got a notice about my 2003 state taxes in 2007 which they said they never received and I got stuck with a penalty ( although I was getting a refund ). I paid the penalty since it would have been too much of a hassle to go through 2003 records and then duelling it out with the IRS.
if you get a refund and you refile you should not have penalty....?

I have a valid point to akhilmahajan.
I work for security industry (database auditing) and i do know the concerns and security related issues.
Here USCIS may be sending the information of one applicant to the other applicant. This may happen with a probability of 1 in 100.
Now tell me, what will you or i be doing with someone else's data?
Atleast skilled immigrants like us will not harm and or destroy knowingly someone else's credit history. This will not only destroy your future citizenship options but will also lead to deportation in case you are caught.
Also, there will no credit card numbers and or bank account details to be lost.
One more thing is, you can always fight back and reverse the screw up that may happen in case your social security number is misused and you have a proof of it.
By saying this, what iam saying is, the threat is not as serious as the thread author seems to indicate. There are bigger concerns on our plate who needs our attention.
Unless the USCIS mistakenly publishes your data on website and or looses hard disk with all the data in it at walmart, you shouldn't be worried.
Peace.
Cant you think and understand what the post meant?
He is mentioning a very valid point. 485 has all the information which one needs to screw up some one's credit history which takes years and years to build up.
I hope now u will get the point.

If that is such the case, ISO800 is noisy and you can't really shoot above that.
but judging by comments elsewhere, the resolution is very good on lower ISO shots. (better than the 1D Mark II some say?)
It's also a model that has been out for a while. A replacement is overdue? (Photokina...)
If we're talking strategy :p, then I believe this is the time to consider waiting. Almost every camera except the 1D Mark II will likely be superceded by newer and cheaper models come September. (10D, S2, 300D, D70 and perhaps Sigma SD10 is my guess) That date is not that far off... (usually no point in waiting, but if the original poster already has a camera and is in no rush...)

How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)
how many days did it take for you to receive the rfe notice from the date they mailed you?? was u r s a 3 yr degree or a 4 yr degree?

You are right leo.
My question is - is quantity all that matters? We need lots of people to participate, but at the same time, I believe that people need to agree with IV provisions too, to be a passionate representative in lawmaker meetings. If the person is thinking twice to register (for free, and believes that registration will help IV), how dedicated and passionate will he be in articulating the IV provisions?
I would prefer to have quality of members over quantity of members. (I am only talking about dedication of members). Am I being judgmental? Maybe I am. But I believe my logic is right. You see, the person who does not want to register is also being judgmental, unapologetic, and he probably believes in his logic. He is entitled to his opinion (as I am), however, IV should not sacrifice its integrity to get members who do not believe in it.
Accommodating people who cannot extend the same courtesy to an organization working for their own benefit?
If people who are affected by 485 prefiling , or want to participate in the advocacy efforts, they can think in:
There is an org that is working on this issue, it will benefit me, I don't know much about it, let me find out more and see if I can help.
There is an org that is working on this issue, it will benefit me, I don't know much about it, I don't think it is possible to get the job done, I don't want to spend my time on it, I will stay away from it.

I would support this bill since it makes a lot of sense. I am not going to benefit from this since I have masters and not PhD but people who have sacrificed the lure of big money to live on campus with 2-3 roomies for almost 5 years in which time their friends who graduated are driving lexus and staying in 5 Br homes need some consolation prize. This is a great move for these students as well as the country.
While I definitely support this bill, I fail to understand your logic here. They definitely are bright candidates but they did everything by choice for the personal and professional gain. They should be given GC because they are asset to this country not because they don't own lexus or 5 Br house which by the way tells a lot about other hardworking people who own them.

The bulletin is 2 years old (if that is considered old, given the GC standards). However, no new bulletins have followed to void it. Unless I have been advising with the wrong lawyer and wrong GC applicants (many), there is no such thing as I-485 Approval before the name check is completed. Any third party would like to comment?
Of course, they will not "approve" your 485 before your name check is cleared. You misunderstood me or I was not clear. What I meant is this: if your name check is not cleared but all other work on 485 is finished (which I think I equated to clearing the 485 in my previous post; sorry), they will tell you on phone (if you inquire) that your 485-related stuff is complete, but we are waiting for the name check. (Also, they will wait for your PD to become current).
My main point in the original post was that if it takes them 2 yrs to check your name --- the name-checking process runs concurrently with the 485 process --- then the 485 is bound to be complete by the time your name check is cleared. The processing times of 485 can be gauged from the VSC (or relevant center's) bulletins. Those proc. times do NOT indicate the processing times for the name check. If the name check happens before the 485 process is cleared, great! If not, you wait for the name check; lots (and believe me tens of thousands) of people belong to the second group. Since this forum mostly has people stuck in the process at earlier stages, you are not going to find too many people with that kind of experience here.
So your respected lawyer is technically correct, but what he/she is saying can be very badly misleading!! One gets the impression that clearing the name check happens automatically with completing work on the 485 by USCIS.
Wait a minute; I thought the name check is part of the I485 approval (and for those who file I-140 and I-485 concurrently, part of the I-140 approval).
And the name check is certainly not a part of the 140 approval even if the 140 and 485 are submitted concurrently. If any lawyer is telling you this, please change him/her.
I hope what I said above makes sense :) Took me a long time to compose that ...:)
