Yes. Its simple math. But if it was 10K visas a year, then why did they have to jump forward by more than 2 yrs? Nobody knows how USCIS works internally. The math that v have and the one that they have differ a lot and unexpected things (for good or bad) happen all the time.
in 1999-2000 ISNAmerica group was formed by immigrants affected by backlogs...it dissipated with the AC21 rule being passed...I hope and pray that immigrationvoice does not go away like that... We need a permanent entity to fight not just the unjust laws of the land but also anti immi groups - who want to close the door behind them.

Sorry, I am already married. :rolleyes:
Marry me...i like funny people......

I have few united air miles, which I can donate.

I would appreciate it if someone can give me some advise...I need to file my EAD renewal & refuse to pay insane amounts of money to my attorney...


Thanks!!!!

I am filing for my EAD renewal and had a quick question...I have an EAD card from when I was in college and did my OPT. The problem though is that I do not have some of the details that they ask for while filing EAD renewal, such as what Center was it processed at & what was the application date.

I have already called USCIS & they cant pull up what center my EAD was filed at or the date it was filed. Can anyone suggest what I should do in this situation? What do I put in the form? Does anyone have similar experiences?

In Dubai when you come back you have to show your AP and supporting docs if they ask you to. I came back this July 18th.

I had absolutely no problems, it's all smooth as long as you carry all the supporting docs. I did have a shitty experience at JFK -- there are few morons at the POE you can't do much about.

What are the supporting docs along with AP? I will be travelling by Emirates via Dubai in Novemeber.

TIA

Can you clarify, is there any basis for this gloomy prediction ? I mean , how many people are in Line from Nov. 2001 and how many visa numbers are available every year for EB-3 (I). Let us hope for better, than your prediction.
Thanks.
1 year from now, only EB3-Indians with PDs of 2001-2006 will hang on the IV website. Everybody else(or atleast 99%) will be gone...

thanks for you understanding....i don't want her processing to be closed. if we're divorces can her processing still be on?

I believe the answer to that would be a 'No'.

If your spouse is claiming AOS benefits as a derivative by virtue of being your spouse then that would be the legal claim for those benefits.

However, the divorce would suppress that legal claim and as such there would be no way for the spouse to apply for those benefits as a derivative.

I'll be graduating from med school next year. Per student counsel/student affair office, my seniors are qualified med professionals and are eligible for eb2 category.

Does immi law allow a person to file H-1B when he/she is a derivative 485 applicant / AOS pending status?

Just trying to explore the possibilities to apply 485 under EB2 category and my current status is 485 EB3 AOS, primary applicant is my spouse. I would really appreciate the valuable suggestions and thoughts.

Thanks,

You should be able to file H1B directly without becoming a student first. Since you already have an EAD (I assume that you have one since you are AOS), you don't even need to file a H1. However, it is your choice to file H1 or not. You do not need to be on a H1 to file for Labor, I-140, etc. You can do that while on AOS.

Not sure what they do in the secondary inspection.. In my case they asked no questions at all.. Just asked me to sit and wait while they entered / checked something in their system. I was in and out within 20 mnts.


What is the secondary inspection about? Is it just sitting and waiting while they do some checks on our file or do we have to answer some questions? Please let me know


Thanks

If you have attached all the documents correctly and appropriately, then you won't get a RFE at all. Scan the forums to see why people have gotten RFEs and see if you have done the same mistakes. My lawyer confirmed that it's perfectly okay to send two recent paystubs instead of an employment letter. So your paystubs can't trigger a RFE.

As for getting your I-485 processed in 6 months? Well, if you are lucky, anything can happen. :-) The truth is I have several friends with PDs of 2002 and 2003, who haven't gotten their approvals yet.

You can see the processing times here: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp

Good luck.

I wrote to Congrass saying that Exceed Corporation must be made accountable to process backlogged applications within agreed time frame and cost and requested an oversight hearing on processing of backlogged labor certifications. I also gave my forecast that they are going to miss the congress mandate of two years.

Please flood Congress with your concerns and expose Exceed Corporation.

My suggestion would be to get in touch with your local DMV/auto insurance agent regarding the legal requirements for someone on visitors visa to drive in US.

I am sure he can drive with an Indian international license, but I think "meridiani.planum" is talking more in terms of liability issues. For example, if there is an accident or any other lawsuit (driving or non-driving related), will the sponsored party (the one who sent the letter that got him the visa) be liable?

Does anyone know about this?

Guys,
I am proposing a "IV Annual Meet", Not all of IV need to meet in one place, but all the state chapters can meet in their local states on this one day. We should make this a annual affair. ATLEAST, we should meet once a year. It should be for a whole day, 10 - 5. Every one who wants to visit can RSVP, we can do it in a grand way with lunch etc...we can cover the expenses with a donation of $25 per person .

When ?

First Saturday of the first week of November ? This way we do not disturb people's summer time vacations.

How does this help ?

First, it will help to meet State members face to face.

We can invite distinguished people to our meeting to give a speech, so we get press coverage.

We can decide our next steps.

Basically we can do a lot.

We can do some voting too. I (lot of other IVans too) have always wanted to change our groups name to "LegalImmigrationVoice", (no offense to the people who coined this name, they have started a organisation that all Legal Immigrants are benefited, they should find a place in US history books ! :) ) so we do not give the benefit of doubt to anyone that we represent ill-legal immigrants also.

Every one please share your thoughts as what we can do in this annual meet.

I strongly agree with this proposal. Even if it doesn't yield too much, it definitely keeps the tempo and momentum in the community. I kind of propose two days:

1st day for meeting at the state level chapters in respective states
2nd day national meet. In the national meet, few representatives from the states take the messages from the previous state meet and discuss them at the national level. or some workable model, where we get the message from state meeting to the national meeting.

Thanks guys. I will keep you guys posted. Fingers crossed.

Just read a post on a different thread where a 2006 NSC case was cleared without NC

Friends,

Even I am stuck with Name Check and what is the approach to clear name check.

Any help / suggestions, please advice.

thanks in advance.

President Obama recently mentioned plans for holding a White House meeting to discuss proceeding with immigration reform legislation. And now he is keeping that promise by setting June 8th, just three weeks from now, to hold the meeting. According to Politico: "The meeting will be an opportunity to launch a policy conversation that we hope will be able to start a debate that will take place in Congress later in the year," the official, who asked not to be named, said. Asked if the session would be billed as a summit or a forum, like similar meetings on health care...

That means no one was really offended by you. :)

You did well.
