It would be good if more of you PhDs visiting here would post and share your ideas about what we should be doing to further the PACE amendments agenda. Regular posting by you and others will bring up new ideas and more importantly, keep up everyone�s motivation to see this thing through. Once postings and interactions reach a critical mass, things will pick up momentum which will see through the completion of our agenda. So please register with IV and post here, and also make yourself aware of the broader goals of IV and how you can contribute to it.
Your ideas and posts need not be rocket science (although some of you might be rocket scientists : ) , but just a few words of encouragement or organizational ideas or just about anything- this will help and motivate others who come here. More postings will encourage still others to post and things will pick up momentum. This thread has had 654 page views but only 1 response!! Those of us who know about the S1932 bill and the campaign to get it passed in December know how effective a forum the internet and a site like this can be. Calling or e-mailing among ourselves cannot substitute the public reach and penetration of the internet, so its imperative that we keep this as the primary forum for information exchange.

Well, you have not pissed me at all. I did what IV had asked in one month back. I had sent my 2 letters (me and my wife) 17 days back and collected another 12 letters from friends and send them too. I had contributed what ever IV had asked until now, what ever it may be.
I am sorry, but just a note can baffle you guys and you put all the -ve comments to the post, then sorry to say you guys cannot take any constructive opinion from others. And I think I did no wrong in asking Chanduv to stop posting innumerable threads just for one cause.
GOD Bless you all.
I support Sanjay and Chanduv. Need balance in a democracy, so folks we got to walk the fine line in the middle.

Greencard and H-1B expenses should be paid by the employer. Anything else is illegal.
I have heard the above from a lawyer. I think there is lot truth in the above statement.
However, in teaching the Univ processes H1B and most faculty pay the USCIS fees. I have written a check to USCIS for my H1B fees. Most faculty also pay their GC dues including lawyer + USCIS fees.
I have also heard that faculty can negotiate for the Deptt to pay the H1B + GC fees.

Hi Guys,
I need your help on this. My cousin is running this small IT company in india and he mentioned that when US client sends their money to India via Pay Pal or some secure money transfer , they are charging them 4 % of transfer amount.
He ask me that what could be the best way to avoid this fees , some of the option that we thought about,
1) If they (cousin's company) open an bank account in USA and utilize this to transfer the money to indian bank account - Would they still need to pay US tax as money is being deposited into the US account?
2) If I utlize my bank account - I think in this scenarion I have to pay the US tax for whatever money the client is depositing into my account in order to make this legal transfer
3)If US client utilize remit2india, ICICI to transfer money which I highly doubt
I appriciate your responce on this.

As everyone pointed out there are lot of things in favor of the employers, Attoreys & USCIS when I 140 is revoked. The only thing that comes to our rescue is AC 21 when followed as per the guideline which is currently not being done.
Guys, Please support the IV AC 21 Campaign and let us help ourselves..
like the historic successful flower campaign, can some one come out with a great idea to bring CIS attention to this issue? 'Satyagrah'??? Gandhi style fasting??? ideas?

Yes, I am definitely for this idea that we should petition/ask USCIS to change the rules to allow those with approved I-140 to be able to file I-485 while their PD is not yet current even if we would pay US$5,000.:rolleyes:
I would second this proposal. This will definitely ease some of the pains of retrogression.

I like your optimistic attitude but unfortunately I don�t share it because of past and current behavior of USCIS, like for instance how they willfully disregarded the 180 day name check memo. Do you really believe them when they say name check will be cleared in 2009, just like the current name check memo the fbi name check clearance will be thrown in a dustbin. If by a miracle name check is solved they will come up with some other check delay for example IBIS name check delay. the bottom line is if there is a will there will be a way, USCIS has no will what so ever to help us. Good luck to everyone but just build a reservoir of patience because if you have hope on USCIS you will pay dearly.
USCIS is trying to make EB2 all countries Current sometime during FY 2009. Of course "a few" 2004, 2005 cases will still be pending past Oct08 but hopefully not too many.
If EB1 and EB2 are shown as current soon, then the DOS can transfer the so-called "spillover" into EB3 ROW, then into EB3 IN & CH.
Based on available numbers, EB3 India / China will see rapid movement in dates April 09 Visa Bulletin onwards.
What will happen during 2009 in all likely hood is the following,
Almost all EB1 spillover will go to EB3. (~ 25k)
Some of EB1 and all of EB2 spillover will go to EB2 IN/CH (~ 10k to 15k)
In 2009, there will be no more Name Check delays - therefore expect rapid EB3 approvals after April 09.

I am not of Indian origin but I participate in this forum, contribute and support the basic goals of IV. I do that because I feel that these people are doing the right thing which would benefit all "legals". The more "other legals" join the IV, the better... and nobody stops them... And if some of the "other legals" desire to join the core team and to share time and energy for this couse I am sure he/she would be accepted and his/her efforts appreciated. Let's not just criticise the lack of diversity but do something in this regard. Reality is that Indians got together and started this fight.
And note - I personally do not believe too much that we will achieve our goals in relatively short time and I have my "plan B". But I believe that it worth trying, therefore I support. Several hundreds dollars wasted and some time spent in this forum is not too much for such cause and may turn to be a "profitable investment" (visa-wise) :-) Let's appreciate what the Indians are doing and help their noble fight with some dollars and time - everyone will benefit...

Looks like it is the photos. I got the RFE after opening a Service Request and they have asked for photos. Morons. They could have made it clear in the instructions to send photos.
It doesn't happen to everyone. A couple of my friends got the ead without sending the photos. It all depends on who processes your application. If he is an ass, you are in trouble.
So, better send the pictures if you are planning to e-file.
I have sent the photos and now have to wait for another 45 days. Hopefully a smart guy who knows what he is doing will process it this time.
I was in the exact same situation in 2008. I got a RFE for photographs in-spite of being photographed at the Application Support Center. Later when I received the EAD card, it had the photograph taken from the ASC printed on it. :confused:
I still couldn't figure out why the hell they issued a RFE for photographs then.

Congratulations on becoming a new Father. Though your name sounds as if you were the mother :). Anyway, if you got 4 interviews in 6 weeks, that sure does not look like weak economy. I remember the recession of 2001-2002. People used to get one interview in 4 months back then.
Laid off 6weeks back. Attended 4 interviews. Outof luck.
I used to get many calls from desi consultants. But not now. I do not know whether it is because of economy or my EAD status.
Here are my excuses to not to get job.
1.New Father (I was little confused about how every thing goes. Thank god no set backs here)
2.Functions(I was occupied to celebrate his 21st day).
3.Taking care of new born( He needs to be feed once in every two hours. Mother got tired of this.)
4.Holiday season.
5.Economy.
6.I am good at supporting my situation :) .
Hopefully I will land some where by Jan Mid.

Its is always advisable to file the petition as AILA clearly stated that they are going to identify "class" of people. The court may or maynot give benefit for all classes .so better file and be in the "Best Class" where if AILA wins the case you will get benefited ,Dont be penny foolish as if you already spent money in getting other stuff ..what you are loosig in 1 grand for attorney fee , ( think of desi employers who gets 2 grands every month on you )
Also with todays's rumor some thing positive is in pipeline ..even july VB flip-flop also started as a rumor
Thanks for the info. Mine is already filed FYI. I am trying to help my friends you missed the boat due to Attorney's inefficiency to file it at the right time and employers greed.

My priority date is EB3 (August 2005). Last week her status changed to following. The thing is I checked with my lawyer & my employer and both said that they never received any RFE or never responded anything for my wife to USCIS.
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed.
On July 24, 2008, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case is at our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.
This is not similar to the Op's case. Your case was transferred to the texas processing center because that center processes all cases from the north east or the eastern state, the op's case was transferred to a local uscis office,

From what I understand you can only and still will only be able to file I-485 when your PD is current. Now, if you belong to rest of the world EB2 the moment your labor clears your PD is current so you can file at the same time I-485 and I-140. In future you will have to delay the filing of I-485 for the three months that I-140 takes to clear (if your PD is current the moment the labor clears).

Hello gg_ny,
It is too scary.. Plz note that the surname change is after mariz.. As per our convention, after mariz, wife's surname changes to that of husbands.. We have the mariz certificate with us.
Is this still that major problem, as earlier explained by you?
you are in serious trouble beyond your knowledge..consult a good attorney to correct it..
Dont waste time on boards...

I'm in the same boat, FPd on 9/20 no LUD so far. Besides calling FBI FP phone number and checking with them if the results have been sent to USCIS you can't do anything other than waiting. FP has nothing to do with name check.
Some people got LUD after FP and some didn't ( like me). Please do a Google search "FP no LUD" and you will see various forums in , Immigrationportal, IV and murthy talking about the same and there is no black and white answer. Good news is some people even got green card without any update on the LUD.
Yes I agree it's frustrating but our options are limited at this point :(
