I was hoping that AILA would ask questions on capturing unused visa numbers and EB visa usage per year from USCIS!
I dont think USCIS can make a decision on capturing unused visa numbers. It is a directive that has to come down someone higher up, the president maybe. So AILA cannot ask them that question.
About annual wastage of visa numbers, since Ron Gotcher bought this news out, it must have already been discussed in an earlier [but recent] meeting or perhaps Ron has his own channel.

I recently got my wife's PP renewed from DC. not NY sorry
Hello All -
I am planning to get my PP renewed at the NY consulate and had a couple of questions and I was hoping someone could shed some light on them.
i) The DC website states that one can *only* apply 6 months before expiration date but the NY website does not? Mine is going to expire in ~8 months. Anyone know if it is 6 mo across all consulates?
You may have to call them up for this info
ii) They have it in big red font that the photograph should be 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm, the US standard PP size is 50 mm * 50 mm .. any ideas where I can get them done in the right dimension?
I did it at home - using my digital camera and photoshop :) . There are tons of places that would click the PP photographs!!
iii) If applied in person do they issue the PP the same evening?
You can't collect it that evening. The will fedex it to you within a week
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience esp. at the NY consulate

We need experts advice in the following matter.
Here is my situation, I have entered US on H-4 and after sometime I have applied for H1(Change of status) through a consulting company. I have worked for this company for 3 months.
When I went for H1 stamping,visa officer said that my case need to go through Administrative processing . I came back on H-4.
We have applied for 485 (through my spouse) and got EAD and AP.I have started working on my EAD. Recently we have received a mail from the consulate saying my H1 was denied and there was a note saying
"section 212 (a) (6) (c) which prohibits unlawful misrepresentation. See form DSL-851 for further details . ". (Not sure what triggered this?). I couldn't find this form anywhere, what is this form?
We have sent an email to US consulate abroad, asking for reasons and future steps, and we have received a response saying
"your case has been fowarded to the USCIS for a final determination. As for your H-4 visa, a decision may not be taken until the USCIS makes a final determination in your case by the USCIS."
Can you advice us what to do next?
1. Will it be possible to withdraw the H1-B application from USCIS?
2. Approximately how long it may take to get a final decision?
3. Is it better to contact USCIS about the case?
4. Will there be any impact of this on my 485 application? or on any future immigration processes?
5. Will there be any problem while entering or leaving the country?
6. Does USCIS notify us about the final decision?
7. Is it better to seek help from Senator in this matter to know what is the decision on our case?
Please advice on this matter as we have travel plans next month.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Fox news and CNN are right wing media organisations who exagerate and create fear among decent American citizens. I for sure will do all my best from now on to expose this vicious campaign and even complain to organisations in the US about Lou Dobbs/Tom and their hate propaganda. CNN (Ted Turner) and Fox (Rupert Murdoch) also operate in other nations like India and we must let the Indian government (revoke their licences) and media organisations know about this.

I have created several documents and am working on a similar one as outlined below. But we need 50 people working on such items instead of one.
We have lots of ideas pouring into threads here but most are soon forgotten and not followed up on.
gc_peshwa has created a googlegroup to deal with participating on USCIS calls etc. We can add this agenda to that group to prevent creation of too many googlegroups and spreading ourselves thin. Alternatively we have a "Media" googlegroup as well which is dormant. That group could be used for this purpose.
This is interesting..i am down to help if you are looking for volunteers....I completely agree that lawmakers often overlook the advantages of temporary legal immigrants and by publishing suck documents will certainly help

See pg CRS-5 of document http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/84914.pdf
Two important exceptions to the per-country ceilings have been enacted in the
past decade. Foremost is an exception for certain family-sponsored immigrants.
More specifically, the INA states that 75% of the visas allocated to spouses and
children of LPRs (2ndA family preference) are not subject to the per-country ceiling.18
Prior to FY2001, employment-based preference immigrants were also held to percountry
ceilings. The American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act
of 2000 (P.L. 106-313) enabled the per-country ceilings for employment-based
immigrants to be surpassed for individual countries that are oversubscribed as long
as visas are available within the worldwide limit for employment-based preferences.
The impact of these revisions to the per-country ceilings is discussed later in this
report......................

I filed I-765 in January and got 1-year EAD last week. I called USCIS today and explained the error. It took a while to explain this to agent but he got it that this is a renewal application on the basis of pending I-485 without available visa number.
He filed service request for the error. As far as he knew, USCIS will send another EAD and send further instruction about 1-year EAD.
I filed EAD/AP together but the EAD I got is not a "Combo Card" (USCIS Term for combined EAD/AP)
I shall keep you posted.

Friends I think a great injustice is being done to NSC filers , their applications are taking months for ead and ap, while TSC filers are getting ead adn AP as soon as they get receipt, do you think this will improve for NSC in future, at this time looks like august NSC filers will haveto wait till the end of the year for EAD,ap, which is sad.

I too received EVL RFE...however, my lawyer created the letter w/o any reference to AC21...except saying that my duties remains more than X ( > 50 or more)% same as compared to one filed in I-140 application and salary remains above required level.
I had discuss this with HR before joining new position...they had no problem with it.

The way I see it, this is a step towards getting more revenues for USCIS. With the elimination of concurrent filing, USCIS is expecting more applications for I-140 premium processing, which will lead to additional revenues.
They are going in the opposite direction, looks like our efforts have angered them more than anything else.

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 ?
