Not true...
In the EB base, only 1 GC is counted for all family members. How can it count more than one if it is a derivative of an employment visa? It might count against the Family base even though primary applicant is EB-based. Not the other way around.

Great work IV for making this happen. But I agree with the concerns of backlogged EAD/AP. I think we should work with USCIS towards issuing interim EADs atleast . Else it will take 1-2 years just to get a receipt...That would defeat our purpose.
So what did we acheive? Just moved the backlog from "waiting to file I-485 to waiting for EAD" ? And I am not even talking about getting the GC .Who knows when we will get that?
I don't know if I should be happy or worried :eek: :eek:

Sometimes the employee's hands are not clean either - they would have falsified the credentials and the employer takes advantage of that fact. The employee complains here that his employer is "blood-sucking" monster in human form.
As I said this happens sometimes, not all times, and certainly I am not suggesting all employers are good. So please dont flame me.
I support this discussion of how to get back at bad employers.
That is right. There are people knowingly get into dirty deals with employers like
(1) Faking experience
(2) Working out per diems in percentages
(3) Changing job titles to suit their needs
(4) Most important - employee tries to do what he/she can to keep employer happy as the green card petition is filed - I have seen this - people I know do this - they lick the boots of their employer - get coworkers fired so that their jobs are secure - get personal in alomost everything with employer so that they feel secure and job satisfied - These are the people who come out anonymously and talk bad bad things about their employer because they know they are into a screwed up relationship - no pay hikes, employer cheating on perdiems - employer knows employee is ass kissing and talks sweet but exploits - employee knows that things are not going to be the same for a prollonged period - puts a false mask and blames organizations like IV for not doing anything - these are the folks who encourage employers to do what they want to do.

Just wondering how we can make this a paid site which works and where everyone wins. Here are some thoughts in the wee hours:
0) Read for Free
1) Monthly paid subscription (recurring contributors):
a) can post without restriction.
b) get important updates
2) If you don't have a monthly contribution -
a) Your first 5 posts are free
b) After that you can buy "points" to post on IV (say minimum chunk of 25 points for $50 bucks).
To post a message, it costs you a point. If you have a question, then a couple of bucks is a small amount to have your questions answered. However, without incentive people will not answer questions (because it would also cost to post responses/experiences). So, lets say I post a response to your question, then if you (or any member who posted before me) thinks that my response was useful, and adds value to that thread, can give me a "+" which adds to my chunk of points.
This way, only people who have serious queries will post their questions, and those who are confident about their answers will post a response. It will reduce noise on the website and will become a better resource of information. Unfortunately a lot of good stuff gets lost between people venting their frustration and providing incorrect advice.
Ofcourse, we can make certain threads free to post - such as the funding drive, media drive, state chapters etc.
If you really really want lots of responses to your questions, you could also sponsor a thread - say $25 bucks where anybody can post a response for free, for a limited time.
Also certain threads can be made free to post on popular demand.

Absolutely. Now with PERM and premium 140, if we can file 485, and then hit the snooze button for 10 years -- no problem for me. I know, not everyone will be lucky to board onto the PERM, but atleast it will be relief for most of us.
Indirectly illegal worker issue has hurt us. Now more than ever House has a resolve not to allow increase in Visa numbers.
We should really wake up to the reality and for this year or as a first step just get us to file 485. Believe me even getting this through will be difficult this year.

Dear President-elect and transition team,
I am really excited by the change and new hope your administration is promising.
My story is of a bright engineering student from India, who came to USA to study a graduate degree from one of the top engineering schools in USA. I graduated with a 3.6 GPA with a Masters degree In Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering from top 10 engineering school, University of Southern California in 2004.
I immediately joined a company, working in the Health care industry and providing software for many of the most large and research labs in the country, providing patient care to all parts of the country.
We applied for a Permanent Residence visa in the Employment Based Second (EB2) category. I have not missed a single paycheck since nearly 4 years, paid all my taxes in February 2nd week latest each year. I have studied in a premier school of USA and contributed to research and studies for nearly 3 and half years there.
There is a huge backlog of visas in the employment based categories. The backlog is in hundreds of thousands. There is a limitation of 120,000 visas each year, with a limitation of around 8400 visas for countries. This means countries like India and China which contribute the most to legal employment based immigration look at a wait of 6 to 10 years. In this time, we cannot take career decisions, are afraid to buy houses, are afraid to invest in 401k and retirement schemes, all life decisions come to a halt.
During the past years, a lot of visa numbers were left uncaptured because of processing delays. Also, family numbers count for single visa numbers. And there is a per country numerical limitation which is unfair to countries like India or China. There is no consideration for applicants with graduate and PhD degrees in Science, Engineering or Math.
Generally the illegal immigration gets all the focus, with us, legal immigrants, not even getting a mention. H1 visa category is chastised and in bad press, but we are all but a very few number of intending immigrants, who instead of taking jobs, are contributing to economy, legally residing and want to be a part of the great country. Many bills HR 5882, HR 5921 & HR 6039 are already in government waiting for action.
Please help the legally employment based immigration group.
Thanks,
A law abiding, tax paying, hopeful.

Dear Friends,
If you are greened since Sept 1 - please vote and let all rest of our community know what worked for you or what did you do "special" to revive your case and get the much awaited approval this September.
This will give idea to other members to use the means to do the same and get the peace of mind you are experiencing.
PLEASE VOTE ONLY IF YOU ARE EB2 INDIA APPROVED SINCE 1ST ONLY.
Thanks,
What really worked for is the following:
1. several calls to TSC and one IO in TSC initiated a request for case to be assigned to an IO.
2. The nicest IO i ever met at an INFOPASS at Memphis office. She is the one who really got it done for me as she spoke to TSC IO and insisted my case to be assigned. She also wrote email to TSC asking that case should be assigned as dates are current. There was a problem in Biometrics upload and she got is fixed too.
3. My congressman also called TSC but by the time the Memphis IOs email and call had me approved already.

looking at the sarcastic, venomous and abusive responses, make me wonder why some people are so insecure and touchy. Why is there a my way or the highway mentality. Or may be some are happy living in illusion and don't wanna be shown some reality. couple of points
1) again none of us will be treated same as American. Some of you mention BO as role model, remember his mom was American and he was born in Hawaii. had he been born in Merrut, you wont have been talking bout him.
2) I got canadian PR not because i want to move there or anything. I got it cause its a good backup. If things dont go right in India, i can always come back for few more years. But this time it will be Canada. And before you guys start crying again, Canada has no problem with someone keeping a PR as long as he spends 2 out of 5 years in Canada.
Again, just the sheer number of people from India, China and Mexico running after PR ensures there is a long waiting line. No way around it. So either wait for your turn, or explore other alternative. If you want to spend time howling, crying and protesting, well good luck with that too. It only makes American look down on us as GC seeking lowly, noisy, needy immigrants.
Look up how immigration is done in NZ, AUS and Canada, that's a dignified way and then there is this USCIS way which humiliates you at every step. So the choice is there, its just tht we r too stuck with american GC

That was a great one jthomas. 100% agree.
Have decided to dump my H1 for good and start EAD on my new AC21 job soon.
getting job on EAD is much easier than h1b sponrsorship. AC-21 law was created to protect employee because of processing time taken by INS at that time.
At that time, USCIS ( former INS ) was taking probably more than 1 year.
By law, you can safely jump on 181 days and a lot of people are thinking of that for whatever reason. But my take will be that you should not jump on new job if
- If you are relatively stable in ur job and compensated ok.
- ur PD is very old (2001-02) because you case may be close to adjustication.
- You may have greater challange keeping ur new job if economy went south
if you get laid off from a job then it is much better to get a job on EAD rather than H1b. Probably underlying intention was AC-21 to protect alien in case he gets laid off. I know a lot of people take taken advantage of AC-21 and it is good.
BUT final regulation has not been published and USCIS final rule of AC-21 may be severely restircted in final rule (especially with July VB fiasco)
just my 2 cents

This data is ambiguous from the USCIS. It very well could represent pending 140 petitions, in which case all the euphoria would turn to shock. We must try to get clarification about this before anything else.
One of the tables there mentions the NIW, that is determined at the 140 level, after that a 485 is a 485 and it goes into the EB2 queue. So when they list that in the breakdown, I suspect if they may be referring to 140s here. Additionally they list either no NIW140 or NIW-based 485s from the NSC. If they are referring to NIW based 485s, this is incorrect, since I am one of those with an approved NIW and pending 485 at the NSC. There are others like me on IV physician forum.
So lets try to get more information about this response. This data does not give the whole story. In a worst case scenario it is indeed pending 140s they have given.

Cmon dude. We expect a better example to back up your argument.
The example you state is a violation of anyone's civil rights...leave alone an immigrant.
To use your example, no one is "raping" the applicant by imposing a per-country limit on your green card application and making you wait a few years while you work in the country and enjoy all civil rights.
Congress used the power given to them by the Constitution to frame Immigration laws and they created a formula for regulation. Per-country limit is that formula which they had the constitutional right to create in order to uphold the balance of immigration in their country. Getting a GC is not anyone's right..its a privelege bestowed based on the applicant meeting certain criteria which includes quotas, as per the country's laws. There is NO civil rights impact. You are getting your green card in the end...only problem is they are making you wait 10 years because of that formula. But none of your civil rights are being impinged upon. So we should work to change flawed law and the formula rather than try to muddle the issue with civil rights. No matter what extreme example you give, you will still never be able to prove that your civil rights were impinged because you are having to wait for 10 years in a legal queue while your application is pending.
Don't get caught up trying to defend a stance no matter how irrelevant it may be. Its better we focus our time and effort on more achievable and valid provisions.
Good Luck to you.
They used the power. No problem. But how?
Let me quote an extreme example.
If they make a law saying, a foreign woman may be raped at port of entry in exchange for citizenship, will it stand?
NOW do you see the connection between immigration and civil rights?

Unfortunately, country of birth for PD determination is one thing that cannot change. It is ridiculous that a country like the US that promotes itself as a meritocracy and a country of second chances ties the fate of EB applicants to such an immutable parameter.
I understand that your priority date is based on country of birth. I have read that you can use your spouse's country of birth. What if you have nationality in a country for over 20yrs but born in India. My parents emigrated to Europe when I was three months old, and I was naturalised there. The spouse rule doesn't apply to me because my wife is born in India too. Is there a rule anywhere that makes you eligibile to file under a particular quota if you had nationality in that country for a VERY long time? I was told no, so throwing this out to the group for advice. No hopes that I will hear otherwise.
Thanks to all.
