Oh, by the way, the names in the article are not real. There are no such names among the 6th circuit opinions.

No, not correct. Since she got a new I-94 her status changed to H1 w.e.f October 1, 2008.
However, because she did not work she is currently out of status. She will have to change her status back to H4 either by going out of country and re-entering with H4 visa or filing I-539.

She can correct the status by going out of the country. But any time USCIS can ask for the pay stub for that period during the GC process. If you are not able to provide the Paystub, your GC will be in soup. So the best would be to ge the pay stub.

Thanks.

lmao :D

I got the Card Production Ordered e-mail today. No LUD even last night at 1 Am. Only one LUD today. My case is processed at Texas service center. And my receipt date is not with in their processing times.

Good luck to everyone.

Congrats on your approval. I have seen many approvals where the processing time doesn't match and i'm not sure if it's the case that they don't update it or they just process it randomly once the PD becomes current - anybody's guess i would think.

Soul gets my vote, that site could cause epileptic seizures.

sounds good...thanks

look at your labor app... it states your proffered wage, job description etc. those are the terms and conditions... you can still get an EVL from your employer and have your lawyer (or have yourself) write a letter explaining how the EVL covers terms and conditions on the labor cert. in any case, this is a really stupid and unenforceable rfe... i mean how can the new employer even know whats in the labor and i-140? and without knowing that how can an employer "indicate" any compliance with t&c of labor and 140? i think you should be fine with just a plain evl that matches your job description and salary... at most, you can write a letter saying that "yeah the t&c continues to be valid".

my 2 cents.

oye chappan... ever been to indore?
there is a small shops complex there called chappan dukaan... very famous hangout place for all indorians... just remembered :)

I have been to chappan dukaan in indore. nice place to hangout in college days:)

MN/Midwestern members, please note time and date

None of us here has little luck... We were close to CIR this year and now new math is in picture.. Two possibility for CIR in 2010...

(1) Dems will not touch it.
(2) GOP will not support it because people will think Dems passed it and that will help them to win midterm election.

CIR was impossible all along. It was delusional to think such a political hot potato can pass.
Not just my opinion ...but also that of IV board member: Greg Siskind.

The good part is as democratic party losses seats....the CIR lobby weakens and piecemeal will have better chance.

What is the difference between 1099 and W2 ?

Thanks,

some people r thinking of flower campaign to atlanta center so as to speed up slowed down processin. if anyone is interested...

I don't think it's going to work again plus its only going to annoy people at USCIS as they have to assign someone to accept and trash those flowers.

I asked this question few days ago but no one responded. I guess nothing is going on. Why do they waste tax payers money by introducing bills and not acting on them.

Any way, pack your bags or wait for ten years.

Patience my lovelies. This may be the calm before the storm, who knows.
Per some news report, a debate has been scheduled on Senate floor to debate a comprehensive immigration reform bill during last two weeks of May'07

while that i true... imagine where we would have been if MLk had decided to sit back..
or talk about another great soul from your motherland
...If Sherpa Tenzing had decided that he is happy climbing a knoll than conquer the heights of everest.... would he be distinguished.

As someone said, We will have to be the change, we wish to see in this world.

Every guy thinks that his/her problem is always the biggest bottleneck

Eliminating FBI delays will restore FIFO and stop such visa bulletin fiascos.

It will not solve retrogression which is a bigger problem, but requires congressional action for number increases

04/18/2006: Bi-Specialization and Reshaping Service Centers Processing Times Report

The bi-specialization initiative that went into effect on April 1, 2006 is expected to bring about the changes in the Service Centers processing times report. The latest reports have already reported the following two changes in I-140 petition processing times report:
California Service Center ceased reporting I-140 processing times
Nebraska Service Center I-140 petition processing times have jumped remarkably since the April 10, 2006 report as follows:
04/10/2006 Report 04/15/2006 Report
EB-1A 10/01/2005 03/01/2006
EB-1B 11/12/2005 03/01/2006
EB-1C 12/17/2005 03/15/2006
EB-2 12/10/2005 12/15/2005
NIW 12/10/2005 03/15/2006
EB-3 10/16/2005 02/15/2006
EB-3EW 01/15/2006 03/15/2006
Schedule A 12/17/2005 02/01/2006

Texas Service Center I-140 petition processing times was already January 2006 in April 10, 2006 Report. It is likely that TSC I-140 processing times may also reveal some changes in the next report.
We will keep watching the development and effect of the bi-specialization program. The next review will focus on EB-485 processing patterns in these Service Centers. Please stay tuned to this web site.
Speedy processing times will help some of the recent PERM application filers whose H-1B approaches the six-year limit and who cannot apply for extension of 7th-year extension of H-1B for failure to prove 365 days pending labor certification before reaching H-1B six year limit. Since the PERM applications are nowadays adjudicated in about three months and I-140 petition adjudication takes between two months and three months, they will be able to apply for three-year increment H-1B extension if their visa numbers are retrogressed. Late starters of PERM applications should consider two options to extend their H-1B extension beyond six years while they wait for the visa numbers: One is overseas trips and recapture of H-1B times abroad. The second is prompt processing of I-140 petitions and filing of three-year increment H-1B extensions.

UK is at lease clear what is their immigration policy. I would like to have similar stand from US Govt where they come out and say in clear words "we don't want to in here" OR "Come here, work for 6 years and leave" OR "we cant you to stay and fix the GC process.

Hi All,
My skin test was positive, where as my x-ray was normal.Incase I get an RFE , Can I go to my PCP or need to go only to local health dept.

Can some body guide me
-Srarao
$100-so far

that is typically not an issue. lot of people (Esp from India) get a +ve on the skin test because of reaction with the BCG vaccine that they received in childhood. You will most likely not even get an RFE as USCIS knows about this.
If by chance you do, I believe you can go to a USCIS certified doctor (where you probably got those tests done) and he would prescribe some medication. You just send that report back, and you are all set.

We (3 of us from the PA state chapter) had a meeting with Congressman Joe Sastak's office staff in Media, PA.

The staff member was completely unaware of our issues (other than, FBI name check takes long time and USCIS processing is slow). However, she was eager to understand our problems.

She recommended that we should meet the office staff in DC since they handle issues related to legislations.

Thats great u met the congressman, I am telling you, politicians are not aware of our problems. For them legal immigration is working great and it does not needs to be bothered.

We need to keep on meeting the politicians and highlighting our problems over and over again.

Meetign them once is not a solution, we need to keep on following with them. This issue has to be highlighted again and again.

Lets get together and try to highlight or issues and hardships being faced by us.

GO IV GO. TOGETHER WE CAN.

You are right .. the US has a big headstart; but that doesnt mean it will remain that way forever. For instance, close to 40% of all US patents are being bagged by either non-US entities or foreign outposts of US organizations. For a comparison, it was just 10% in 1995 .. dont remember where I read this, but I will post the link if I can find it again.

The US is still the most competitive but the lead is shrinking...its clear that China, India and the emerging Asian economies have the size, the resources and the talent to catch up and probably surpass the US
