Why is this topic being discussed. masters, no masters, eb2/eb3/ India vs china vs world. Who cares?
Do you think the politicians or their staff understand these nuances? do they understand any of the steps? I140/i1485/labor? NO. And nobody cares.
FOR ONCE, if we all get united and rally behind IV, NOT GET DISTRACTED, WE CAN ACHIEVE SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY.
There is a golden opportunity right now for once to eliminate all backlog
Please take the action item seriously and after you have sent emails out, Please encourage others to do the same.
Then take appointments at your congressman/woman/senators office next week. Ask them to support the two ammendments to the DREAM ACT. That is it!!
Do not talk about any other issue while at the appointment, the message we need right now is for them (the lawmakers) is to support those two ammendments, DO NOT DILUTE THE MESSAGE By adding/confusing them with other related issues or personal issues.
Imagine if we all are united and stuck to the message, next week and week after if there are hundreds (wish thousands) of us going into our lawmakers offices and asking for these -just two ammendments. The message will be loud and clear and they might just get it.
Imagine this vs the second scenario where members go in and are inconsistent and talk about all the problems in the Immigration-Universe- EAD Delays, Masters, H1/EB3/EB2/QUOTA?. They will not understand any of this and it will confuse them thinking each one of us has a small unique problem-
That is why we need everybody to be consistent and focus on the message. It will make them take notice and gain their support.

Why every discussion has to end with donate - why donate? What IV has done so far? Where the money goes? EB2 vs EB3... etc. Stop hijacking threads.
By the way, the title of this thread is of no good. Don't give such title to generate clicks, your post is not a media news site to give misleading titles to generate clicks. "Whats happening with EAD delays" would have been more appropriate.
Every discussion gravitates towards donation because at the end of the day, the reality is that there is a need to mobilize funds, to take our game to the next level.
At the same time, there is a whole bunch of immigrants waiting in the queue for 5,7,10 years, passively, just talking, who could have easily contributed $25 per month to create a momentum for us.
All this complaining about transparency (knowing or not knowing that not-for-profit organizations need to follow very strict accounting and disclosure rules), is just not productive. I would rather put my trust in a bunch of fellow immigrants who are trying to help us all collectively.
Even if nothing comes out of it, I would have tried to push my luck through this group, rather than sitting and waiting for things to change on their own.
Disclaimer: I am not a part of the core or any peripheral group of IV. I am just like everyone else, but have decided to try my bit by contributing.

Can we see a list of all the positive outcomes of the various advocacy events, lobbying etc done by IV for the EB immigrant community please?
And, if any of those good outcomes are being implemented by USCIS to ease the EB backlogs?

This is a Tricky situation.you need Medical leave for your child but 4 months is a bit too long. Pls.contact your Attorney about the consequences of taking 4 Months leave on H1B visa.make sure your HR provides you with all the Paper work that your Attorney might ask to substantiate your leave.
My LC and I140 approved (PD: may 2004). Applied 485 on Aug 8.
I became father last month.
My new born son is sick and he needs total attention for next 4 months. I have used up all my vacation and planning to apply for medical leave. Pediatrician recommends me getting medical leave and support my wife.
I work in a very big hardware company. I have completed 3.5yrs in H1B so far.f I apply for medical leave, I may get a pay cut (like 20 to 30%). Will I be affected because of this medical leave? Are H1B's allowed to take medical leave (upto 4 months)..
Your comments are very much appreciated.
thanks

I applied for my EAD renewal during last week of Nov 2010, it took only 42 days to receive my renewed card. It got 2 years validity, validity starts from the next day of current EAD expiration date. Even though current card is valid for another 2 months, pleasantly surprised to receive the new card in USPS priority mail. Overall, job well done by USCIS as for as this EAD renewal in concerned.
My priority date is Jan 2007, not sure whether by extending it for 2 years USCIS is not expecting me to be current in the near future. Personally I am expecting to be current during this July - Sep time frame. Worst case at least it should be a touch and go scenario, fingers crossed.
i applied for EAD on Dec 21st, got card ordered for production email on Jan 21, and got the card via USPS 2 days ago. My PD is just few months away from May 2006 (EB2), but I still got 2 years validity (on the EAD card).
I cannot possibly imagine the fact that PD wont move even a few months when spillover begins.

eb3nepa & srikondoji, it is not just non Indians that not standup, there are close to quarter millions Indians in the queue who follow immigration news and who want things work but just do not want to standup. It could either be "fear" or "no care" attitude. It is true with immigrants from other countries too. Immigrants from all countries have a hidden fear, as it is not their country but a country they want to immigrate to and do not want to do anything that displeases the country. It is factual. Very few people actually have the guts to question.

It would be a smart choice to accept those application, but based on USCIS recent behaviors, I really doubt their decision makers have that intelligence to make such a smart choice.

Question is what happens if I decide to withdraw the H1b App
Or just change the job .. will then still then keep RFE alive?
If my employer won't give the wage reports etc. today.. he's definitely not going to give me that even in future then..
'GC_ASP' is trying to say, "USCIS may open ur I140 and send an RFE for ability to pay..."

I'm trying to secure a residency in one of the hospitals in the US and my husband is already has I140 approved for himself. Currently i'm in the US on H-4 status and want to apply for residency at one of the hospitals. The problem is, some hospitals only offer J-1 visa and i know there is some restrictions to J-1 visa, that i might have to serve in some under serve area for ? years.
I was thinking that i can sign the contract but by the time i'm done with my residency, my husband will already have his EAD or atleast GC and he wil aplly for me as well. WOuld this releive me of the responsibility to serve in an underserve area ot not? Thanks.

I really like these ideas and strongly feel that this would work. I myself have just now decided to take upon me to register at least 6 members by next week. Core members give a thought abt these ideas. Also put up a request on the registration page to spread the word and get at least two other people registered.
As I am writing, I understand there are 1900 active members and 5800 members. Even if 50% of the members bring one new member each, there will be a tremendous increase. And this can be done via internet: web and emails. Set a target (50% increase?),deadline (Oct 31st?) and have weekly count of new additions displayed prominently. Democrats did that for Howard Dean's campaign and the model has been used for subsequent elections by both the parties..
IV core had been very voiceferous, when we needed to achieve the funding target in summer. Can they become more involved chalking out a plan to
increase membership, if that really matters? In the membership enrollment form, if there is a field asking if some old members brought the applicant in, then we would know how many old ones really care to do something. Without personal outreach and contact, the rate of new additions will never increase.
Are we upto this?

... Although, USCIS will not give you a 3 year H1B extension because you have already filed AOS.
....
not true. Irrespective of whether your 485 is filed or not, if your PD is not current, you can get a 3 year extension of your H1 if your I-140 is filed.
Saying this based on personal experience, and this has also been clarified by USCIS in its FAQ. Your attorney needs to mention that and ask for 3 years when the extension request is made. If they request one, they'll get one.

I would assume that these 10 days would be thousands of applications.
Hello,
I am sure others might have noticed that 485 processing dates at NSC (for example) have literally crawled from the beginning of the year to now. Here are the processing dates (per USCIS status).
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
12/15/2007 Status - 04/24/2007
01/15/2008 - 07/19/2007
06/15/2008 - 07/28/2008
Thats roughly 9/10 days worth of 485 processing from mid-Jan to mid-Jun 2008. I wonder what the processing date looks like for the mid-July status update (which should probably be out tomorrow).
