Citizenship comes 5 years later, if one's interested (and may not be everyone's goal).
Singing a country's national anthem is also different than taking the pledge of allegiance (the latter means you are pledging your loyalty to the United States):

Having said that, excellent job Pankaj!! You had the crowds mesmerized!

Everyone here aspires to be a future citizen of the United States of America. If GC process didn't have problems, we would already have been citizens. Those who haven't learn't to sing it, should do so soon. It can be asked in the naturalization quiz.

Q1: Yes
Q2: I-140 does not include any dependents. Without visa availability Child protection act does not work.
I guess that leaves only two options. Either leave US or file for his/her own Green Card application. Too bad.

Hi Attorneys/Seniors,
I got an offer from US company.They themselves started processing the H1 transfer
LCA Story:
Applied Date:02/08/2010
Denied Date:02/17/2010
Denial reason Source of the Wage entered wrongly
ReApplied Date:02/18/2010
Approved Date:02/25/2010
H1 Story(Premium Process):
FedEx Delivery Date: 03/04/2010
USCIS EMail Date:03/15/2010
USCIS Received Date:03/12/2010 (According to Email)
End of Day 03/16/2010 Status online:Acceptance(desc says received date is 03/15/2010 )
Approved Date:03/17/2010( USCIS Email received by 03/18/2010)
Looks like we need a month time to transfer our H1 though.
Are H1 is Really in a speciality Occupation?
When we apply 1st time they are asking all the documents which is fine.
When we apply Extension they are asking all the details with Paystubs,client letter.
When we apply Transfer they are asking all the details with Paystubs.
Unless theyUSCIS) make a rule like H1 can work for any employer we suffer a lot and feel like slaves which is bad.There are lot of mental pressure when we deal with any H1 suff(new H1,H1 transfer,H1 extension).
The problem of changing employer you have to hold your current employer untill your transfer is approved.Also the Transferring company they need to wait for one month.

Intel's CEO once rightly said that,US has to become mean as to who they want in this country, A person right off the boat(Asylee,GC-Lottery etc) OR a US trained and educated individual contributing directly to the economic system.

What if your state does not have a state chapter?
If you wish the entire immigrationvoice community to assist then some sharing of updates will be necessary outside of these.
What he said!
it is ok to contact any of the leaders for the update
you can link with a neighboring chapter, right now this is an action item being coordinated by the chapters so they have the info.

Thank you so much for your responses! I did not mean to lie to the consulate when I answered "no" on the form the previous time. I think the thing that we've actually came back in time proves it. The new DS-160 form doesn't have this questions because I've heard that many people were confused by it. The consulate officer did not ask us if we were planning to immigrate to the US. I know of quite a few people who were issued a non-immigrant visa while replying "yes" to that question. Does it mean the law was broken on that case?
Does it matter if the "I-130" was not approved yet? Does it count "immigration intent" from the date they've received documents from my brother? Please comment. Thank you.

Dude,
Take your company attorney & HR guy(al) out for a $250 lunch and first build a rapport with them. Tell them about what you need & do tell them politely that if they care about you as an employee, they need to get on with your immigration process.
Nothing unethical, illegal or embarrassing about push your point forward.
There are ppl who will tell you that sth like this would never work. time ot prove me wrong!
Its your future. Take charge.
Haha. That is an accurate assessment at a 50-foot level. I was pretty disillusioned after a couple of years of working. A mixture of what the fuck am I doing, but not really knowing what to do, and all confused because I was at probably the biggest firm around and and a feeling of even if I switch, what's the point? And not having the balls to switch jobs, for the fear of throwing away what I had, mixed with personal struggles with life and not having the social life that I wanted.
In between all this, the desire to get the GC process kicked off came and went, esp. since I wanted to switch positions to a more people oriented role, and the feeling of gosh, do I want to stay in 6+ years in this job - maybe if I file, then I won't want to change jobs.
As you can see, even I am not sure what was going on there. But my personal life and acclimatizing has sorted itself out rather well of late, and I do want to stay here now that I have a really interesting life (and partly out of fear of throwing everything away and moving somewhere new).
Now, I know that IV is not a self-help trauma group, so I will cut short my story here, which has little to do with the raw facts of my immigration situation :)
And yes, I did not participate or know much about the visa process, or IV till recently, and am a recent need based participant, but I hope that does not stop anyone from contributing their ideas to help me out.
*** Also, to the previous poster (nojoke) who said that big companies usually hold off on perms, are you suggesting that I have a better chance at a smaller company then?
UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..

I am little confused here, do they take into account the reciept date or Notice Date ?.
My Application was sent on July 2, and ack on July2, however the application got transferred to Nebrska, CA and back to Nebraska, and I am told the Notice Date is Aug 30. (If I go to Online website it says On Aug 30 we recd your appln like that) But I am July 2 filer.
So if I want to move, should I think i am safe after 180 days which is jan 3 or is it March ?
It's the received date as specified in the receipt (i.e. jan 3).

What will be my status after i file my I485?
My current I-94 will expire on 16th Sep 2007 (on the day my current visa stamp in my passport expires and my current H1 B is set to expire Mid April 2008).
I am planning to make a trip to Cannda or someplace to get a new I-94 as soon as i get my new passport (i had sent it for renewal on june 2nd). But i am a little worried about my status if i am unable to make the trip.
So my question is what will be my status after 16th sep 2007 (once i file for I485 (first week of July2007) and my I-94 expires on 16th Sep 2007)?
Appreciate any responses ...
Your question is not clear but when you say I-94 I assume you mean the I-94 that you got the last time you entered the country, right? The expiration date on that has nothing to do with your status as long you have an approved I-797 for your H1B extension till April 2008. You are in status till that time.
But you do need an unexpired Visa stamp on your passport if you leave the country and want to come back to the US.
So the way I see it, even after filing 485 you will continue to be in status till April 2008 and then I am sure you will extend that for another term if your I-485 is still pending.
As for going to Canada to get a new I-94, it may not work because they do not make you surrender your old I-94 when you go to Canada and so therefore do not issue a new I94 when you return after a short trip to Canada.

Such companies thrive because immigrants are not complaining about them enough.
If you find any company breaking the law, abusing the system or 'exploiting' immigrants as anti-immigrants allege, you must take action.
DOL USCIS must be informed. Search the forum and you will find resources how to do it. Unless we all take steps, there will be few bad apples that will give a bad name to the entire system.
I think it was Mahatma Gandhi who said that a person who accepts a bad deed and does not take action is also equally responsible as the person doing it.
IV strongly condemns anyone breaking the law. People must report it to the authorities. IV community must work on protecting the rights of the immigrants and support anyone who is willing to go against companies that break the law or 'exploit' immigrants.

Nikon put itself "On The Ropes", by not paying attention to what the market wants. Canon have consistently caught them with their pants down with the D60, 300D and the mkII. Very kind of Canon to leave Nikon anywhere near 30% of the table scraps. who says the blokes at Canon don't have a heart?
I think they may make a strong fight back with the D70, that looks like a lot of camera for a great price.

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
There were doctors in my area who did not ask for appointments. I got my medicals done by walk-in. It means you have to wait, but you can decide wen to go instead of an appointment. Call all doctros within a certain radius and see if anyone will accept walk-ins.
