I like ur idea, can you design this or get someone to do this. It still has to have the same basic principle. we all have ideas we need someone to actually do this since we are mostly IT folks with programming skills can we get a volunteer or a group of volunteer who can do this?
I do not know whether this is going to help IV raise more funds or not, which should be the bottom line for every effort spent at this crucial juncture.
My thoughts on this scheme - Instead of going to outside web sites, we can design a scheme locally ourselves.
Currently we have member information like EB2/EB3, what stage of GC processing etc ... We can add another read-only field to this information like range of contribution by the member. For example,
Platinum member > $1000
Gold member $501 - $1000
Silver member $251 - $500
Member $1 - $250
Non-contributing member $0
When IV can come up with member, senior member etc ... depending on number of posts by the member, even this categorization can be easily implemented in the database. The exact dollar amount need not be disclosed.

Hello gg_ny,
It is too scary.. Plz note that the surname change is after mariz.. As per our convention, after mariz, wife's surname changes to that of husbands.. We have the mariz certificate with us.
Is this still that major problem, as earlier explained by you?
The problem as I it was traveling on your old passport after you obtained a new one. You could have travelled on the new one attached to the old one and your change of name document.
I concur with others...you need to sort this out fast before you land in trouble. See an immigration attorney quickly. My 2 cents.

Regardless of what your employer is doing on your behalf, you should be proactive and take appointments with law makers. You should be prepared to show that you didn't do anything wrong and now you are going through personal hardships because of this delay. Since you are willing to provide all the paper works to USCIS they should have no reason to delay adjudication. You should emphasize the fact the your application is subjected to undue delay for no fault of yours.
According to my employer, he is going to the Senators office tomorrow to talk to them regarding my case. Got an appointment some time this week to see them on Friday. I dont know how far this is true. They already wrote a letter to them 2 weeks back. This is what my employer says. But I dont know whether he actually contacted them or not. He said he will give me further info on monday. I have to wait and see what he comes up with ( truth or some other new story) on Monday. Then I might decide to move on to a diff employer if nothing works out.

The only thing USCIS can do without regulation...is issue Public Notice
How funny, right?
or take back one of their Public Notices....the ony thing they can do, is take back the Public Notice - that 485's will be rejected.....

That's pretty much what my lawyer told me.
Okay. I was able to talk to my attorney just a few minutes ago. He said, to do interfiling , you do not need to have PD current based on new I-140 as this is just a case update with new 140 information. He said that in any case, your 485 will be picked based on PD. I found him very very confident when he was telling me all this info to me.

Hi,
Are you going to file AC21 now or going to reply Rfe without filing AC21.
Is your lawyer frogamn from CA? Did they infom you about Rfe if not how did you get the Rfe mail.
Thanks
I am planning to file for AC21 along with RFE. My lawyer is frogman but not from CA. I have signed up for online notification at USCIS's website so I knew there was an RFE. RFE itself went to my lawyer and he sent me a copy and arranged a phone call with me to discuss my options.

No.
The only requirement is that both I-140 must have same beneficiary and all I-140 must belong to eb-1, eb-2, OR eb-3 preference categories.
The Priority Date recapture applies ONLY for immigrant petitions (I-140) approved under EB-1, EB-2 or EB-3 classification.

I Agree...
belive it or not, I knew that. I mean the part about the US, not the part about India as I don't hail from there.
The point that I was trying to make but did not state clearly enough was that I feel that when one has a political agenda whether it is pro or anti immigration, children should be kept out of it. Labeling children like anchor babies is dehumanizing. I believe that when kids are involved, as human beings, everyone should always be concerned about their best interest rather than what our political view.
This is why I hate the term anchor babies. The antis are willing to even dehumanize kids if it fits with their political view.

Myht 1: If I-485 gets denied I have H1-B to as a back up.
Think of this - you get AP and EAD based on pending I-485. Similarly, you get H1-B extension beyond 6 years based on your pending green card process. Once your I-485 is denied, your AP, EAD and extended H-1, all are gone at once. Yes, extended H1-B is no longer valid after that. You simply can not fall back on that.
Myth2 : I want to continue on H1-B even after getting EAD, I feel safer.
Think again. Suppose you came to the US in 2004. In 2007 during the visa gate scandal, you filed your I-485 and got EAD. At that point of time, you had two options. You could have continued H1-B or changed over to EAD. Person A changed to EAD. Well, once he changed to EAD his clock of "Time spent on H1-B" stops right there. Come 2010, if his I-485 gets denied, he still has 3 years of H1-B left and he can use it till 2013.
Person B decided to continue using H1-B after 2007 and kept his EAD as backup. Same thing happened, his I-485 got rejected in 2010. He can not go back to H1-B. He has utilized H1-B for all 6 years and he can not get it extended without going out of the US for one year.
So by keep EAD for "in case I-485 goes south" and using H1-B, you are killing your options. If someone has a choice between EAD and H1-B, he should use EAD.
Gurus.....any comments?
Answer to Myth1: If your 485 gets denied, you CAN fall back on your H1, provided you are still working for the H1 sponsor and your H1 has not expired. If your 485 is denied, then your EAD cannot be renewed but is valid to its expiry. Your AP on the other hand is no longer valid as it depends on the 485 for survival - Immigration will check your 485 status during secondary screening. H1 is standalone and does not depend on 485 status.
Answer to Myth2: You can keep EAD as backup to change employer or even work for current employer. Your H1 extension is based on 140 approval and not 485. If your 140 is revoked, you cannot extend your H1, unless you have an approved 140 with another employer.

I knew that slowly the antis are gaining more and more strength as a result the noose is getting tighter and tighter around us (and will eventually reach our neck). I didn�t expect this fast:
Texas change in driver�s license laws in last 6 months:
1) We knew that instead of the usual 6 years expiry date, they now want to see proof of visa documents and the expiry date is set to the expiry of the visa document.
2) If visa document is expiring less than 6 months, then we CANNOT get a drivers license.
Driver�s license laws - Latest Changes:
1) The driver�s license that all non-citizens will get will be Vertical and NOT the usual horizontal. This license looks very different than the conventional Texas DL and it also has to ominous word �temporary visitor�. I was okay with word being mentioned, but making the drivers license look so different from normal (vertical and not horizontal is taking it too far). I am worried about possible discrimination everywhere wherein we show our IDs.
2) Chance of Address not possible online: Previously, its only during license renewal, you had to get that new unique non-citizen card. Now, they are not allowing even change of address online! The website says, we don�t qualify for change of address online as well. This means that even for change of address, we have to go to the DL office and surrender of our old good unexpired DLs.
Any inputs? Texans? Others? What have been your experiences? In other states, can you change your address online without any hassle?

Come on dude. Texas is very slow.
Be happy, at least for the most they give license at least to the expiry of the Visa. This rule has been in many states for several years. In Tennessee, it was impelemented in 2004.

Hello All,
My take: these talk radio hosts cannot do anything for our cause. They spend all the time in radio. Only lobbying works and that too a focussed effort. Our focus must be in getting the message across to the Judiciary Commitee members, then as many senators as possible. Next step will be with the house members and this is the most difficult task.
IV is doing this and the results are there in the form of amendments. On another track, Sen Cornyn has introduced a good point in his SKIL bill Section 402. This I am sure is the result of letter from someone affected by retrogression / backlog.
So, we can get results only by presenting our problems directly to Senators and Congressman.

I believe the USCIS counts only applications they have recieved. In other words even if there is a 140 approved but the person is not able to file a 485 then his application would not count. I think they log in the applications when they send out the reciept notices and then log them out when approved. As such I think even pending EAD and AP applications would be counted as cases.
However some clarification would be definitely nice.
I want to point out however that there are many cases of 140 approvals who for whatever reason are not active or transferring to another petition.
The BECs have completed a little over half of the cases to date. They are moving quite fast in the last few weeks. Recently a colleagues application filed in May 2004 got approved, within 3 weeks mine filed on the same day with the same lawyer was also approved (atleast online status check). As such I feel that atleast those that filed with RIRs will be done by the end of the year and those with traditional labours will be done by next year. Now that last point is what gives me the chills. Those are the really old PDs and until we get a feel for how many of them are still active and how many are legit and how many of those are used for Labour Subs etc, we will not get a handle on the size of this problem.
At the very least we can double the number of pending petitions at 485 stage. Also atleast about 30-40k of those with background checks pending are probably EB based. So It would be a guesstimate but there may be about 300K or so back log of visa numbers needed. However of those a disproportionate number would be EB India. I would conservatively say a third. All guessowrk of course.

I had the exact same RFE. I'm on H1 since 1998, and you can imagine how many times I have left and entered USA. I have about 8 H1B extensions. Here's what I sent...
1). Cover Letter stating list of document to show evidence of law ful status in US.
2). I-94 card issued by CBP at the last port of entry.
3). ALL the H1B extension notices issued by USCIS. Its important that there are no gaps in dates on the extension/change of status notices.
4). passport copy containing all US visas and entry and exit stamps.
5). A document explaining the entry and exit dates matching the stamps in the passport.
6). Few pay stubs from the current H1B/green card employer that you are currently working.
7). Few W-2s for last few years.
Usually the I-94 that is on the extension of stay issued by USCIS is the same number thats issued by CBP at the Port of Entry. So, USCIS should be able to match the entry and exit information and extension of stay notices
I'm sure they know that one surrenders the white I-94 card when they leave US.
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.
