eb3_nepa,
Multi national aspect of IV team should come up on its own without anyone of us forcing it that way. One thing we should forcefully implement is give everybody an oppurtunity to speak up, if a right candidate steps up.
Again we should also be concerned about how we are interfacing the outside world. At this point in time we should be result focused than process focused.
thanks

Theres a butt load of cases in this similar situation including myself where a case was transferred to another service center. It appears they can't find or update fingerprints for such cases. Its a shame but another glitch from USCIS

There were about 600,000 AOS applications including the July and August filers. So that number less 60,000...roughly about 540,000 applications still pending with USCIS....
And 540000 @ 140000 per year is approx. 4 years!
Going by PD, 2001-2003 may get their GC by Dec 2008
PD 2003-2005 by March 2010
PD 2005-2007 by Sep 2011
Again, my assumption is even distribution which is not a reality. Every year, last quarter would be busy as USCIS would try to use up all the VISA numbers for FY and during that period it could be open for all atleast for 3-4 years; like June 2008 they may make it current for PD 2005 and June 2009 for PD 2007 .... And, come October dates would retrogress.

There are no hassles for DL renewal in CT. you will be ok.

Do any of you have any information on Foreign currency CD. I am thinking of opening CD account with Foreign currency possibly with Indian rupee.
Rupee is 47.50 today and i think its the best time to buy rupees rather keeping ur money in dollar.
Please throw some input.
Thanks

please don't post information you are not sure of. unless employer withdraws H1 there is no way USCIS can know of this. (Employers are not legally bound to file for H1 withdrawal) Also I would like to know the source of your 'zero tolerance' policy in regards to H1. In fact they forgive upto 6 months of 'unauthorized' employment when processing I-485. (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nscuna.html). If they wanted to have 'zero tolerance' they would have forced employers to withdraw H1 or atleast inform USCIS of layoff.
Also you say "one should inform USCIS before I-485 is approved'. Again this is wrong information.
Please do not start fear mongering based on incomplete information.
This is not fear mongering. You DO NOT have a grace period for H1B termination as you do on F1-OPT or anything similar.
The right way to stay in H1 status is to get a transfer BEFORE the termination date on your H1B.
In reality however, USCIS may not look at it from a zero tolerance policy while ACTUALLY adjudicating the case. They may approve the transfer if the paystubs are "RECENT" enough or may send an RFE. The usual criteria for recent is two weeks or sometimes upto a month. Anything longer is at your own risk.
The 6 month period hoolahous refers to in the link is for "UNAUTHORIZED EMPLOYMENT" meaning working for an employer other than your H1b sponsoring entity usually the H1B petition is still valid. I believe that is not the case here.
If you would like to stay on H1 status, my suggestion would be to apply for a transfer with another employer before the end date of your current job.
If that does not work, you always have the option of using EAD to get another job, but in the meantime your status should be fine as you have filed for your 485 and you will be in AOS.
As always, check with an attorney for your specific situation and use your best judgement.
Good Luck!

Maybe not. I believe that the perception is that Americans would prefer to have no bill at all than a bad bill. If people learn that the House is the one trying to kill what they considered a bad bill - the amnesty one - so they that should not perceive all Republicans as a rotten after all. The Senate is a different story because a number of Republicans there have adopted a liberal stance on this, therefore incumbents may well be kicked out. If the trend continues, lawmakers pro amnesty may be voted out whether they are democrat or republicans.
Good to know views from the other side. CNN polls and other polls show that majority of Americans want to address immigration issue in a fair manner. Let me know which polls you are referring to, I would surely like to look at them.
Yes, you rightly point out that election pressure will have a bearing on this important issue. Republicans are smart, they do not want to re-inact what happened in France recently. The exploited underclass of immigrants in France rioted on the streets. We don't want that here. There are far too many immigrants as a percentage of total population in USA vs France, it would be unthinkable.
Almost a million people in California demonstrated recently. Those were the biggest peaceful demonstrations since the civil rights issue. Maintaining a status-quo, by not passing a CIR bill will make it obvious to Americans that Republicans can't pass an effective legistlation even when they control both houses. Republicans don't want to hurt their long term strategy by doing this. No governance is bad governance unlike no news is good news.
Given the current rates of immigration, demographic change because of looming baby-boomer retirement, off-shoring and globalization, Republicans understand that US looses its leadership role to China, India, Russia and Brazil unless they have a comprehensive strategy to keep America competitive by addressing this vital issue.
Borders can be secured and make it difficult for people to move into US but they won't stop them from moving out of US, if they are treated unfairly, for better opportunities elsewhere.

All your friends who got 221G are not telling you the truth. Was all their paperwork complete and ok? Probably not. No friend will admit their mistake and fraud. So they are telling you half story and blaming it on others. 221G is a good thing. It shows government is looking at possibe fraud and security risk seriously. National security is very important and highest priority for us living in US. H1B visa as a whole got a bad name due to fraud. It is not just employers but employees are also responsible for it. Employees are not illiterate or dumb to not understand any fraud. I wish more serious work is done by the government on every greencard application. If the system has clean cases, no anti-immigrant will point any finger and say the whole H1B system is bad.

Try the following:
1. Send all the documents that are requested to the field office one more time with FedEx signature confirmation. Take InfoPass appointment and fly to the field office and see what's going on.
2. Find your local congressman/woman by using Zip Code. Call him/her and speak to person in charge of immigration matters. Take an appointment or send them all your case details and copy of all the documents. They will follow it up generally with the agency. Also, send a personal letter describing about the hardships that you are facing because of this delay.
3. Send the same package to both the senators of your state. Follow up with them by making a phone call and personal appointment.
4. Check with your employer if they have wage issues with DOL or tax issues with IRS or other RFE cases like yours in the past. Ask them if these are resolved.
The seattle, WA office or any other local office doesnt accept form I907 (which is for PP). After my case transfered to seattle, WA my employer tried to convert into PP. He sent it to USCIS, CA they said it is not with them so they can not accept it. Then he sent it to Seattle, WA with all the letters attached. The seattle office rejected the 907 saying they dont accept 907 in their office.

Are you kidding me with your posts? I can't decide whether to feel sorry for you or get angry with you. But I guess, I will move on since you obviously have issues to deal with...green card should be the least of your priorities!
My "bummer" post was specifically in response to WAIT_FOR_EVER_GC and whitecollarslave's posts about Masters in STEM. I read all the three bills and I stand by my statement that Masters in STEM are exempt ONLY from the H-1B cap; not the EB cap. (line 14 on page 2 of H.R. 5630 (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&docid=f:h5630ih.txt.pdf).) It is only the PhDs who are exempt from the EB cap.
Before you start throwing "smart alecky" comments at others, please let me know where it explicitly says otherwise. Don't show me anything about PhDs; ONLY Masters and EB caps.
I (and probably others too) thought this was the STEM bill being reintroduced which deals with EB caps. But it is not, hence the disappointment.
Regards,
Jayant
P.S.: I know you are going to be back to read this thread. So a lack of response from you will be sufficient for me to have proven my case. But an apology for casting aspersions wouldn't hurt......naah, just kidding! :-) You have a lot of growing up to do, so run along.
Typical response just to defend......green card might be least of my priorities....but may be its your only priority for you !!!!!

namm80,
Just curious, when were your applications originally sent. Also are you EB3 or EB2 and country????
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.

Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?
I thought there was a country limit on how many gcs are approved for a country per year. So even if there is a spill over - can a backlogged country like India use it because of the limit ?

It's not the "IMHO" or anything... we certainly all are entitled to opinions - "Canon is better than Nikon" "Nikon is better than Canon" "Contax/Carl Zeiss is better than either" "What are you thinking, Minolta has fine glass too" etc. But it is just the "far superior" thing that got me going, because it simply isn't true, while the other statements certainly do have parts of truth to them. I guess some people do treat camera manufactureres with the same kind of "fanboy-ishness" that geeks do to Intel or AMD. ;)
If you are referring to me, as being one of "some people" treating camera manufacturers etc etc as geeks do with Intel or AMD, I reiterate that this was only my opinion as I have had BOTH mfgrs equipment and IN MY HUMBLE OPINION ........and only mine, and for my reasons, Canon is far superior. (as I indicated about the lenses.......Far more...........meaning more in quantity...........and....Superior.........seems this has been proven, at least from my readings. I did not say far superior lenses.
I'm not going to get into some sort of contest and I am not looking for an argument, nor will I return with derogatory retorts.
Hell, I ought to just delete the thread............I don't enjoy misinterpreations or surmising and that's what seems to be here.
