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..

Relax guys. My online status still showing "Fingerprinting fee rejected and case is in suspense" despite having finger printing done at ASC a year back.
I cannot confirm or deny the following piece of gossip but...
A mistake has been made on the system for payments. Some bright spark for got to put a so called "where" statement into the billing system for USCIS after the pricing structure changes went into effect. I am told this is being dealt with, but some applicants may find incorrect fees on their accounts pop up. Each lawyer will have different way of dealing with this problem. If you are pre price increase and have a suspended case; this maybe the reason for it...
Good luck to you all. This is just a thought/gossip...

If they put everything as U, they are potentially in trouble, as they have apparently returned unused visas to DOS. So there are unused visas...

My wife is applying H1B this April 1st against 2007 year general quota and via regular process (not Premium Processing).
Currently she is on H4 with valid I797 (expiry date end of Oct 2007) and expired visa on her passport (June 2006).
She plans to visit India this June and get H4 visa stamp on sometime June 2nd week. She will be returning sometime end of August.
Do you see any problem in visiting India and getting H4 visa stamp (based on the current I797 or I may get an extension by June) while H1B application is pending? What will happen to the H1B approval as it will have current I-94 number? Do we need to go again to India and get stamping after October 1st for H1B?
Or need to wait until August for H1B approval and get the H1B visa stamping instead of getting H4 stamping on June?
Please clarify. Thanks and appreciate your reply.

It seems like except for one or two people here, individuals who have applied directly at TSC on 2nd July are getting their checks cashed/receipts this week.
It would be helpful to know if they are done with the transfer of 2nd July cases from NSC to TSC; if so, when and based on that, we can make some educated estimates.

Has anyone sent I-120 application to USCIS to get their I-94 extended?
What would be the basis for them to give extneded or issue a new I-94.
Should i send the copy of my passport with the visa stamping in it?

When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?
They are legally not irresponsible....They very well know what is going on....
They are the ones who designed the whole doggone system....
At the worst you can say that they are ethically wrong...
They have no obligation to explain anything to you...
In fact some would tell you to wait for two years to file for green card and they would be well within their rights...
For a class action suit you need a credible argument.
The way the law is structured...we do not have a very good argument..
If you do find good argument let us know..I am sure there are members who would be interested...
Also who exactly would you sue ?? People have tried suing USCIS already with not much of success...
If you sue your employer..there goes your job...
The best recourse we have at present is through legislative efforts...

Thank you all four replies. You guys are relly helpful. I did not change state, I just moved from one street to another street with in the same city.
But only thing is I am working for different employer and I have NOT yet applied AC21. If this RFE is about "employment verification", I am thinking of sending from new employer since my I 485 filed more than 6 months. I hope this is ok. Please correct me if I am wrong.

You are right and I don't know the circumstances vicks_don had chosen to post this. As I posted elsewhere (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=43868&postcount=662), now the time is ripe to act decisively.
Note: I am posting this, one more time, in this open thread, as the above post is behind a login.
A small step for special interests ... a gaint leap for us
I had watched this forum growing by leaps and bounds over the past year. I personally know how the core group is acting towards our stated goals. Now an opportunity has come for us, the foot soldiers to act in unison. As the title of this post suggests, we will watch, observe how big brother is acting and will emulate the same.
In this connection, I beseech (implore, beg, request, ask, entreat, plead, press, demand) to watch out the efforts to introduce / incorporate retrogression relief for healthcare in the coming days / weeks. Read the block quote in full and you will understand what I am saying.

The government's current Continuing Resolution continues federal funding until February 15, 2007. At that time, another funding bill must be passed. Similarly there is an Iraq War funding bill set to be acted on this Spring. Legislators have traditionally allowed urgent legislation to be attached to funding bills like these.
We have made inroads with many of these members' staffs. A personal relationship with one of the Senators would likely be enough to secure a Schedule A retrogression amendment as an attachment to one of these two bills.
The current strategy is to obtain a small Schedule A retrogression amendment (anywhere from 15,000 - 90,000 visas) in the Spring; we will then push for a permanent Schedule A retrogression amendment (Brownback amendment) whenever Congress considers Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Our contacts tell us that Congressional leadership is willing to allow the Brownback amendment as part of CIR.
But for now we have this small opportunity to secure 15,000 - 90,000 visas. Please contact Chris if you have any personal relationship with these Senators or even their most senior staff.

Let's watch out what is being worked out for and introduced for healthcare folks. We will forcefully demand the same kind of relief. We will question why such a special consideration. We will write to lawmakers, our employers, particularly the big and kind corporations, we will write letters to editors. Let's mount one more coordinated effort on this front. As always, let us act smartly and intelligently. The moment has come and it is now.
Please feel free to discuss this post, suggest ways and means, and we will crystallize our effort on this front. We can do it and we will do it.
PS: One suggestion is subscribe to Google Alerts for �healthcare� and �retrogression� and be kept informed.
Another is to write / call members of congress and pose a direct question / their position on retrogression relief to skilled workers stuck in retrogression.

Ok I think we are reaching new heights of RIDICULOUS here. An IV member has asked a SIMPLE question about whether or not an Indian citizen needs a visa for the Bahamas.
Who the heck do we think we are to ask him/her to NOT go on that cruise and instead donate to IV?? People i know that we need to raise money and quickly, but this is really not the way to go about it. Everyone needs a vacation to recharge their batteries and spend quality time with their families. The GC is a "MEANS to the END", NOT "The END". Going by this logic, lets not do anything for the next 2-3 years. Lets not buy houses, cars, furniture etc. Lets instead contribute to IV. Besides what is to say that this person has not contributed to IV already?

While it is possible to claim parents on B2 Visa as dependent, after they pass presence test, they have to include their world-wide income in the tax return.
IRS don't have time to chase, if world-wide income of parents are not reported. For that matter, many people get away without their own world-wide income. It may be risky, there was news in Indian News Papers, that now IRS has started tracking investments done in India.
But anyways, whatever I know, it is possible to claim parents on B2 Visa as dependent, after they pass presence test. They can get ITIN.
===
Another example a professor visiting in USA, when gets cash award, to claim the award (s)he has to get ITIN and gets taxed at source, even stay is for days or weeks. If his/her country has tax treaty, (s) he can recover takes paid in USA.

names with slave in it and with out immigration. How does they make sense to what we are doing here? We are neither slaves nor a social networking website. If you go and search the threads this came up an year ago and it was turned down because of what logiclife explained clearly. I have simply thought that a redirection of URL is enough. Its not true. We need quite a bit of paperwork to be done and it needs some knowledge and experience as well, which is more than suggesting a name change. More over, we have some brand value as IV for some time. Amidst all these highly inflammable bills, name changing can eat away precious time that can be dedicated to imp work.

Immigration and education should be two seperate things. NO support to categorize further on immigration, We should take out the country cap. It should be First come first serve basis. with necessary background checks on education and skills.
I welcome this sane voice
Come on folks, the reason we are suffering today is this mentality of whipping, punishing ourselves. Why do you want to go through the wall of fire, when people out there are trying the easiest means out? WHY? Why do you want to put us all through even more punishment? Please, drop these kinds of threads
I see that 2 people have given reds for this comment. I also see why British was able to enslave India
