Hi friends,
I am from south east Michigan just like everyone else here standing in the never ending line of gruesome and crippled immigration system.
Let us come together and help IV achieve our goals.
It is high time, that we ask for what we deserve. And it wont come unless we stand up for ourselves.
thanks....

With due respect, Can you please tell me why it will fail?
Because it doesn't have a good reason. Please don't waste your money.

I also met several American citizens who were passing by and were curious about the rally. Me and JazzbytheBay explained and they listened patiently. One hour later I saw them marching with us holding flowers that some of our volunteers were distributing to passer bys. One gentleman was a school teacher.
IV needs grassroot support from half a million people stuck in various stages of green card process. You can be from any country. We welcome and invite members from all countries and communities to join our efforts.
Additionally, one of our best friends can be American citizen who understand the issue from economic, personal and other perspectives. If they become part of our voice we will become more effective.
Each one of us has to become "IV brand ambassador" and present our issue in right perspective to counter so much misinformation floated by some vested interests. Yes, you can do it. We can facilitate.

Please don't get me wrong. I am not against any one getting it. The date I chose here is just an example and my PD is not in 2003. I thought if they approve cases with newer PDs and reject older cases that raises an interesting point.
I guess i dont have a PD as old as some of the other folks , but Its been 3 yrs since we applied to 485 and still waiting on some news. 3 FP's. 4 EADs and not a single update online. Am i STUCKKKKK..
cheers
You are right, priderock. If indian2006 is willing, his case can be used as an example by AILF but I think we should be happy for those who got approved and spare them any more trouble.
However, looking at indian2006's case, I had one question.
If they allocated visa number on 1st July then, why was the approval done on 10th? I think in one of the earlier posts it was mentioned that they need to use it in 7 days or else return it to DOS.

As a victim of identity theft, I can tell you first hand that there is serious potential that this could be an issue. There is no guarantee that the person who received your document will return it first off. What if he simply throws in the trash? USPS makes mistakes all the time. What if your package is placed by USPS in someone else's mailbox? Or what if CIS puts the wrong address on the package?
Anyway, bottomline it has potential but I do not know that we can do anything at this point other than worry and hope.

How do Promotions impact one's existing GC application?
for example: one filed for the GC as a Software Engineer, 5 years down the road one switches to a different company in the same area/location using EAD (avoiding AC21 for now) and the salary is 30 % higher than that was mentioned on one's LC filing and the job title is sr software engineer (same or similar responsibilities, senior title). How would something like this impact one's GC application?
I also wonder what would happen to the GC application if one was to get another promotion and become a manager with even a higher salary (some job responsibilities stay the same and some new managerial responsibilites get added).
I am sure many of us would have faced this since clearly many of us have been waiting for many many years - I would really appreciate your input on this. Thanks!

The article below can be a strong argument on why good immigrants should be allowed to immigrate, or at least let us finish the half-lives that we started years ago since we are in the middle of the process already:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14535863/site/newsweek/page/3/
100% of the calls to today's program were from anti-H1B people. Not 1 call supported the H1Bs. If corporates are supporting more GCs for us, and since the fate of H1B/Employment GCs is linked, we ought to support H1B legislation.
How can we get an advance notification of this recordings?? Seems the anti-immigrant forces have the inside tack
here...
Also, the C-SPAN commentator on H1B/immigration issues is frequntly Dena Bunis of the Orange County register. She said the corporate lobbies "have convinced congressman" there is a shortage...implying that there wasn't one. She needs to be contacted . Here contact info (202) 628-6381 or dbunis@ocregister.com

I am in serious trouble, please read and comment if you can help.
- Spouse (Primary) and I filed I 485 in June 2007. (PD March 2004)
- Spouse Application is approved in July 2008
- Spouse changes employers after approval
- In October 08 we write to the law firm that initially filed the I 485 to withdraw their representation.
- In Nov 08 the Law firm incorrectly writes to USCIS to with draw the I 485 application.
- In March 08 I get an email from USCIS stating my application is withdrawn.
I obtained the notice of withdrawal and the notice says
'As a result of your request, your application is considered withdrawn, and it will recieve no further consideration by USCIS. There is no appeal to this decision.'
Neither I nor my wife have authorized the attorney to withdraw the application, we only wanted them to withdraw their representation (I have the letter we wrote to them and it clearly states it.)
what can we do.
Is it possible to reinstate our case?
Can we refile my AOS again, even thought the primary applicants green card is approved more than 6 months ago?
Thanks for contacting IV with your SOS.
An IV core member is going to be helping you to fix this with USCIS. Let us know if you need help. He already tried contacting you yesterday.
As IV grows maybe this is a help IV can extend to all its donor members and help them if they get in such extreme distress situations. This is one of the ideas we are thinking for our members in the donor group.

The problem that IV member Drifter had with his I485 application has been fixed. IV had contacted USCIS and USCIS said that they will reinstate his case.

I am switching job using my EAD and my 485 was filed 2 years ago (EB2 Sept 2006 priority date). I-140 is also approved. My new employer will not sponsor for green card or H1 but the job is similar, actually it is exactly the same as I am merely taking a full time position in my client's company. My old employer is OK with the move and have even offered me to be on their payroll until i get my GC. Can I have two employers?

[QUOTE=qplearn]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. [QUOTE=qplearn]
Absolutely correct - thanks qplearn, a true senior member.
[QUOTE=qplearn] 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.[QUOTE=qplearn]
No, that's not what I claimed, unless my English screwed me up - (for the other readers), no one should believe that.
[QUOTE=qplearn]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.[QUOTE=qplearn][/I]
Murthy's report (http://www.murthy.com/mb_pdf/apr2304.pdf) makes a different interpretation. My lawyer could not confirm/deny it.
I hope what I said above makes sense :) Took me a long time to compose that ...:)

Hi ,
I received RFE on my I-131 application asking for all the I-94's that is being issued to me.
I had been in and out of US many times and there's lot if I-94's involved and I don't anything with me except the latest. What options do I have?... Also couple of times during my earlier trip (initial visits in US), the AIR Line didn't even take the I-94 from my Passport which ultimately I lost.
My Passport has all the entries indicating my Date in and Date out...
Gurus - What do you advise on my case...
Anybody's input are highly appreciated and I know we could somehow get the I-94 copies by requesting USCIS. (That is time consuming)... I have to respond in next five to ten days...
What options do I have?...
Thanks.
Send them copies of all the I-94s you have along with a letter stating entry exit from US. Include airline tickets if you still have them.

At what stage will my current job description be matched to the Job description in my Labor or I-140?
My I-140 is approved foralmost a year now and I had enquired with USCIS a few month ago and they told me my Name check has also been cleared and my case is just waiting I-485 adjudication when visa numebrs are available. I thought when my Priority date becomes current, I will get my GC seamlessly unless there is an RFE.
Also, is there any documentation that states 50% job description match? This is the first time i'm hearing this criteria. I do understand that if I work as Mechanical engineer, I should not chnage my job to a Software engineer...but will getting a Mechanical Engineering job in a totally different industry be a problem?
Thanks again for your time.
Once you invoke AC21 .You may get rfe where your new employment detail will be verify by adjudicator assigned to your case against Perm application. This is very subjective matter depends and how uscis handle your case. I think 50 % matching requirement is not written any where, it is just common practice .No one can expect us to match 100 % job requirement with old labor petition.
Mostly watch for your EB2 requirement with your job description. Here is the DOL web site link which talks about job description comes under that code.
