This is why I said 221G is a good initiative. Even if people have to suffer a little bit, full check is needed for every visa stamping and every green card application.
221g is become a unwritten norm in India, sort of like putting roadblocks. The whole visa system was based on "Honor" system but cheating became rampant. Thus the unfortunate need to use unusual measures like 221g
There was a time when marriage to US citizens for GC was used and abused like anything and some US citizen made it their profession (still happens now but lot lesser). Then in 1986 they added a 2 year wait period for GC permanency for GC based on marriage to USC and whole bunch of penalty rules for abuse. They are talking of introducing this even for Canada now (with conservative majority might happen)

Hi,
I am in the same boat. My EB-2 PERM came for audit on November 28th. We are still waiting to reply by the deadline which is December 19th. I got the same request from DOL(business necessity letter + recruitment efforts). I can only say this, The DOL audit's increased since October 2007 after closing all backlog elimination centers. Almost 50% of cases filed came back for audit. Audit is nothing but just request for documentation. So if you reply for the audit, you can expect a reply within 60 days. I am on my 19th month on H1B.

Since you asked what I am exactly doing here:
I am not here to discuss illegal immigration. I am here to discuss how we can put acceptable proposals out there so we can all get out of this mess, or at least get out of here a little faster !
Folks, allow me to tell you that we cannot succeed in this fight if our strategy remains wrong. By no means we shall find ourselves supporting what is against public opinion in our host country, which is now America. You guys from time to time, now what is called senior members from IV, pst phrases which may be PERCEIVED as an attempt to disguise the status of illegal aliens movement. Undocumented immigration simply doesn't exist. There are numerous ways one can find oneself without documents. I outlined an example before. "Immigrant" is not the correct designation if you never immigrated here. Start by showing our alignment with this country by using the correct term. We may be better accepted that way. By the way, wake up, is in major part thanks to the illegal aliens that many of us are stuck.
Tomorrow you can go to India as an immigrant. The day that you find yourself pushing for more immigration than Indians want, it is the day you will not be welcome in that lovely country anymore. Italy is a sweet country, but people are fed up with immigration there. How about France ? America is next. The lack of sympathy for immigration is in the air. Which are our chances to fight against it just because we conceal our proposals ? Minimal.
Sure. Do you want another one ?

Actually I just wanted to point out the generic indifference shown towards the feeling of people of India by mainstream western media and governments - the long wait in immigration queue and ignoring the plight of Indian legal immigrant aspirants , setting a per country quota ignoring its population representation is just an extension of the same mentality... and I also wanted to point out how this mentality of deliberately ignoring Indian feelings and values is going to become increasingly irrelevant in the changing world where BRIC countries will wield increasing power.
Friend la6470, I totally understand your feelings.
However your statement "setting a per country quota ignoring its population representation is just an extension of the same mentality... and I also wanted to point out how this mentality of deliberately ignoring Indian feelings and values is going to become increasingly irrelevant in the changing world where BRIC countries will wield increasing power." can be used against the measures requested for removing the country quota.
Today inspite of the quota we are sort of demanding or in other words saying Google(US based company) should display Diwali. If country quota is abolished many more of us will beome PR and then citizens then we will be in a better position to demand the incorporation of our cultural values/ religious values in this country and thus the cultural/religious equillibrium of this country will get effected. So they will say this is the reason that the country quota should stay.
This way your innocent statement can be used against you and us. This was my concern against these type of nor immigration and matters related to only one country/region/religion being posted in this forum.
Hope you understand me.

Good question - based on what I am reading on this forum, it seems to me like the RFE is requested for people who travel a lot in and out of the country. My wife has traveled a lot of times - I even lost track in the last 5 years - and she did tell me that they did not take her I-94. It would be still attached to the passport and when she enters back - if the travel time was less than 20 days, the officer discarded her new I-94 and asked her to keep the old I-94 - in some cases, he/she would just take it during entry. This happens mostly when she travels to Mexico or South America. The evidence that was being requested is the dates of travel and type of visa used to enter the country with the required documented evidence on the passport (color copy).
In my scenario, most of my stay in US, was limited to the stay period mentioned in my VISA though I-94 was given for longer period. There was one instance when I-94 date was given for a longer period than Visa expiry and I stayed till my i-94 date though visa expired. For this particular stay, when I look at the US Entry and Exit dates it would say as if I overstayed though legally allowed and only way to prove that would be the I-94 copy. I dont have the copy of that I-94...
Just kind of wondering how to handle this particular scenario... Any ideas/suggestions...

I have question on comments from Kumar1
If 485 is denied does it mean your 140 approval is no longer valid?
I was always under the impression that I140 is a petition for immigration filed by the employer for the beneficiary while 485 is adjustment of status filed by the beneficiary on his/her own behalf.
If 140 approval does not remain valid then I agree with Kumar1 but if 140 remains valid then I guess the renewed H1B also should be valid as it is renewed on the basis of approved 140.
Can anyone throw some light on this?.... senior members..gurus..??

Hi friends,
Can we start working for the new company immediately once the transfer petition is mailed i.e. without waiting for the EAC number ?
NO.
Mailed is not equal to received or applied for transfer. Until you have proof that USCIS has received your application, dont start at the new employer. Waiting for the receipt # is the safe route down the road even though you have to delay by a week or so.

I'm 15 and I have done several jobs .. they generally don't mind you being that young, most of the times they're amazed :D You have to talk decently etc, like Rev said. Nohing much can go wrong if you make a good, professional impression.
Completely off topic - Lou == Rev??? I was wondering what the heck happened to him.
Completely on topic - to say you NEED to know "AS HTML PHP XML XSLT by heart " is completely ridiculous, what if he is going to design a site for the local barber who just wants some info on the web? Chances are his first job isn't going to require flash, PHP, and XML integration. Then again I've never had a job. :shrug:

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.

if you have EAD and 140 is approved (And 180 passed since 485filed), then why are you worried about H1 status ?
am I missing something here ..I let my H1 expire and am using EAD now.
I had another question - if one has EAD and 140 is approved (and 180 days passed and a person does not hav H1) - then how long can that person stay unemployed ? please reply if you know ..Thanks !!
I read in some other thread. I believe that you can be unemployed till you get I-485 approval. If I-485 is not yet approved, then you become out of status and in the case of no fall back upon, one needs to leave the country within 180 days.

When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?
They are legally not irresponsible....They very well know what is going on....
They are the ones who designed the whole doggone system....
At the worst you can say that they are ethically wrong...
They have no obligation to explain anything to you...
In fact some would tell you to wait for two years to file for green card and they would be well within their rights...
For a class action suit you need a credible argument.
The way the law is structured...we do not have a very good argument..
If you do find good argument let us know..I am sure there are members who would be interested...
Also who exactly would you sue ?? People have tried suing USCIS already with not much of success...
If you sue your employer..there goes your job...
The best recourse we have at present is through legislative efforts...

The issue is that my company lawyer said that there will be a need for a visa stamping done for the extension because of the Last action rule. The murthy forum reference is something I dug up via google.
Because the extension will be for a future date (March 1). Current visa stamp is till Feb 28, 2007. So if the officer gives a new I-94 with Feb 28, 2007 as the validity date, the attorneys claim that it will invalidate the approved extension due to a "Last Action Rule".
It is hard to trust these corporate lawyers.

Mine took 8 days after the online status changed to approved-so don't worry. It's funny, on their website, they said documents mailed on sept 10, but i rcvd them on sept 17th. When i rcvd the AP, i realized the documents were mailed on sept 13-sept -- so don't blindly trust what is online.
There was a black line---uscis printer completely screwed up-and the first line of the address on mailing envelope and the address was completely un-readable. I am not sure how we even got it in mail.

Thanks.

However, I agree with vdesai_8's corrections and I believe that it would be good to make those corrections in the letter. Thank you!
