So sorry to read that story. I wish that family had gotten the help they needed at the right time. I wish he had talked to someone.
You've ever heard of kamikaze missions help by Japanese pilots during world war 2?
They were suicide missions to bomb American targets (like Pearl Harbor) knowing very well they will not come back alive. They would crash their planes into enemy targets laden with a lot of explosives.
Go figure!
In civilian world, there can never be a valid reason to take someone's life. The only exception I can think of is self defence. Or while defending someone who is under attack.
Military or any armed force is different; War is different.
People involved there are trained to follow orders. Their commanding officers give them orders to kill someone, and they follow those orders without question.
War itself is a sorry state brought upon the human kind by humans ourselves. And unfortunately, the commanding officers in charge of an armed force see even the men/women who make up the force as only a means for their objectives; and they use them as they deem necessary.

So sad and unfortunate. I'm always surprised with this. USCIS which is supposed to be the expert in approving/denying visa - approves it and some American in Delhi thinks that's wrong without even looking at the packet.
It's just annoying and unfortunate. I hope IV would help.

in that case it ...we should have a wall of shame section & tag members...;)
but the point is how much of micromanagement can u do on a "free" forum!
anyway..
HateIV was an extreme case..
What happens to an employee at any company who has done something positive but has been caught abusing his colleagues a few times. He gets warned by HR first and then gets fired right.
We have lot of things to focus on to get relief for our community and there is no reason to tolerate this behaviour towards fellow members.

Dude, what are you talking about :confused::confused::confused: Am I missing any comedy here?
<ul>
<li>You could buy a TV but you will not know when you will get it. It could be shipped the next week, the next month, next year or never.
<li>The credit card may not be charged, may be charged twice or a valid CC may get rejected.
<li>Somebody who buys a TV from USCSIS a 2 years after you do, he may get it sooner than you do.
<li>USCIS has no way of knowing how many TVs have been ordered and how many of them are in stock.
<li>In case you do not receive your TV in two years, USCIS acknowledges that there is a long wait time for some and does not do anything about it.
<li>There would be an online survey after you buy it which would never get submitted 99% of the times.
<li>In case it did get submitted, somebody will read one out of 10,000.
<li>After reading it he will throw it in the trash can.
<li>If you get a defective TV (which is quite likely), you have a chance to file appeal by paying the same amount of money for the TV again so that your case can be re-opened.
I wonder how many customers would USCIS have eventually ??? Any guesses ???

what kind of logic / law is here, if you are a US citizen you can marry and bring your spouse, if you are on pending 485 you can bring but if you become LPR you have to wait for 5 years......
Is there any background for this restriction......... looks stupid to me.:mad:
Well H1B can bring their spouse using H4 .. so I guess GC holder can not bring their spouse .. I guess this is a hole in the system.

Cool...I didnt give any sign. autho..I just sent docs yesterday...
so keeping my fingers crossed until they file (without asking me to sign G-28 in between) :D
Did you fill the actual I-485 forms or just the questionnaire that employers usually send? in case you've filled actual forms that they will send, did you check the box on the right bottom where it asks if you'll be represented by an attorney...
In case of a questionnaire, you might get those forms filled by them for your signatures.
good luck

Hey Coolduggar,
Can u pls give me the number u called...
Hello All ,
My application for i485 , i765 and i131 was recvd in Lincoln,Nebraska on July 23 , 2007. (Sent by my company's attorney on July 21) . I have been waiting for over 2 months for any updates or receipt notice but nothing so far . After reading some forums in this website , i called USCIS (number from USCIS website) and got my case escalated to an officer who asked my last name ,first name , date of birth and coutry of birth . He gave me all the three receipt numbers for AOS , AP and EAD . All the receipts numbers are starting with WAC meaning the cases were xferred from Nebraska to California Service Center . When i looked at online status of i485 case , it says the case is xferred to Nebraska since it is in their jurisdiction . The other two cases for EAD and AP are pending . I still have not recvd any receipt notices from my attorney . So , i guess everyone who is waiting for their receipt notices might want to call USCIS and get their numbers .

Guys,
Not sure whether my suggestions help any one, but I do have some real time knowledge about this process.
You can do EB2 with following options
1. A bachelor's (4 year degree) + 5 years exp. This exp should be with prior companies.
2. Master's with no minimum exp.
I am assuming you guys already have knowledge about EB2 requirements and skills. Basically, there is nothing in IT, which needs Bachelors or Masters. Requirement is defined by HR on advice by Attorney. Any job requirement can be defined as some thing which needs a bachelors or masters.
My company applied for me and another guy under EB2, since both of us have master's degrees over here. But, for another guy who had 7-8 years of prior exp, my attorney applied in EB3. This guys is a dev team lead and is one level above me.
By April 2008, we had our I-140's approved, but this guy (in EB3) doesn't know he in EB3.
Accidentally, I found out when I am cross checking with him regarding H4 extension for my wife, whether he did it on time for his wife.
We forced him to talk to HR and Attorney and they agreed to do EB2 for him.
Attorney simply filed I-140 under EB2 using his EB3 labor and it was approved in 4 months.
We are confused about this whole process, but it worked for him. May be some of you, who falls in this category can try doing the same with out actually changing jobs.
Another option for people who are using EAD. I am encouraging one of my colleague to get him to talk to HR, to apply for EB2. He doesn't have H1, but one doesn't need to have H1, when they have some thing like EAD. They can use EAD to change job and start the process again, but once their ported old PD with new I-140 was approved, they will be ready to file new I-485. This will reduce their waiting time a lot.
Thanks,
Nayekal

My point of view: Recession or No Recession - If u r strong enough and a needed resource, therez no way they r gonna lay u off --- Again just my POV.
its not that simple. were you here in 2000-2002 also? When the whole company is running into major losses complete department and locations get wiped out. Does not matter how critical a resource you are. If the people at the top decide to scrap the product, the team goes with it. Thats how companies like Nortel, Lucent etc manage to go from employment figures of 100K to 30K in a couple of years...

I have two passports one with H4 Visa stamped and another Surname changed. While entering US, I have used my name as in the Visa (new surname) in the I-94 card.
I have applied for H1B with new surname in this May and change of Status with that I-94.
During H1 processing, I have travelled out of US and while entering back I have used old surname( as sometime back DMV ppl told that the name on I-94 should match with H4 Visa)
Now I got H1 approval and COS approval with my middle name taken as first name and new surname.
1) First thing is, the I-94 on COS approval and I-94, currently present in my Passport does not match.
2) First name and middle name are interchanged in the passport and H1 approval.
Is this going to create any problem while applying SSN? What are the possible consequences..
Also, any similar scenarios, plz respond..
Are we confused or you...
you said that you entered on new surname passport and so your i94 will have new surname..
now when again you reentered you entered on old h4 with old surname...
so you have entered US with two different surnames ...
DMV told you correctly..always your surname should match the surname in visa stamp...
you are lucky that immigration officer at port of entry might have overlooked your case..otherwise you must be in your home country by now..
you are in a serious trouble..surname issue is very big..consult a good attroney than posting in the board...
Good Luck!!!

These are just guidelines from a law firm. Most of the law firms were making money in porting cases for last two years, as number of new applicants were less due to economy. That does not mean that USCIS is going to approve these cases based on number of years of education. Porting within a company is a risky deal. Even though lawers dont make it sound like a big deal, for getting new clients. The old eb3 job that was used to file the first labor needs to be filled. If you are working with a desi bodyshop, be careful. You are inviting an audit.
This does not appear to be just guidelines from a Law Firm. Read the first line --- it says "According to the AILA-NSC Liaison minutes of 04/12/2007"
The questions regarding same/different company is not relevant to this thread.

Get enrolled in GNIIT course. They will teach you Java, .net, networking, datbase, algorithms and everything else that I did not put here and may be after that you can apply in EB-1 category. I am not mad but, if you do not have 4 year college degree, you should not have gone for EB-2 that too with labor substitution. It is a F***ed up system.

Given the hopelessness of the situation in March, switched jobs and was unable to file labor for a variety of reasons. Now everyday I see people come over and tell me how they plan to switch jobs once the 6 month mandated hibernation is over...I feel like breaking something. Lot of them have even stopped working, confident that a new job awaits :mad:
8 years of paying taxes in this country and not even a piece of plastic to show for it. :mad:
--That ought to suck every bit of sanity left! I know "should have..would have..." doesn't matter anymore but I am curious why you did not opt to do labor substitution in june-july period. You should have had a crack at it.
I know people on h1 with consulting companies did better than those who got stuck with one permanent job.Stale career , stale pay and so on...
Do your best and make most of h1b.

I now applied for EAD for my wife (not because she is going to work, just go get SSN). I do plan to get SSN for her and then file amended 2008 return. I wonder if I will get stimulas package then (the one which was given in 2008)?
I amended my tax for 2007 (filed in early 2008), intially filed with my spouse's ITIN, to change my spouse's ITIN with new SSN. IRS did not send any check. They simply replied that people without ITIN are not eligbile, which I knew, and which was the reason of my amended tax filing. Looks like simply changing ITIN to SSN is not treated as a tax amendment.
If changed situation (new SSN, children etc.) allow the check, this year's tax should take care of it as per instructions on IRS website.
