Please note that even tho the dates have moved, we are not out of the woods. There is a definate possibililty that the dates could regress in October. If you choose consular processing and your category/country retrogresses then it will have implications. Talk to your lawyer before taking any decision.
If you are lucky then its straightforward, for some its a nightmare, namecheck can take some time in the meantime your category can regress.
I'm trying to make decision to pick consular or Adj. status.
Please, can somebody tell me the flow on Adj. status here.
1-File 485.
2. Finger Print notice (you said around 30 days)
3.?? (medical??)
4.?? (FBI??)
5.??
and total approximate time for same center for all family.
I really apreciate if you can also write your experience to compare Consular and Adj. status.
Thanks

I would suggest IV to setup a seperate Chinese (or Hispanic) contribution page to diverse the culture background of IV members.
Hmm.. thats a good idea.. At least have a one opening page in Chinese / Spanish to bring in more people.. I hope IV does that later.. Of course they would need volunteers for the translation..

Do you know the story of the crow getting to the water by putting pebbles into the jug which had very little water?
Well, here we are: the water is IV's target...the pebbles are the contributions ($200, great, but $20, still good!!) from a large number of members. It's impossible to justify why one can not contribute $200 when the core members and some others like you & anurakt have given so much more. I believe it is equally important to encourage as many members to contribute as much they can.
No contribution is too small if it is actually made. An ounce of action is better than a pound of intention!
Some legislative action is expected in Feb. Money will be needed immediately. I don't think $20/month is the answer.
I think $200 is a very reasonable amount based on the cause. Life is not a charity.
You should pay a total of $200 immediately if you have paid less then $200.

i am happy for those who can file now.
my pd is jul 2003 and was lucky enough that my case got approved in time that i could file.
we should have really started putting pressure that the becs at least approve cases by priority dates if nothing else. the becs didn't follow any rules and approved cases out of order as well.
lesson learnt. complaceny doesn't work, be engaged, contribute, and fight for your rights.
Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.

Guys who come here on H1Bs and apply? Let us set aside the fraud inherent in L1 visa for another day. The visa recapture is there, but it is also a separate issue which takes a while to accomplish.
H1Bs can't get EB1C. They need to be outside country in 1 out of 3 prceeding years. EB1C is intracompany transfer visa. Even if one is on H1B, they will be need to moved to L1A before they attempt this to my knowledge. Again we are not here to fix the world., we are here to fight for our cause and get going.. Lets be clear.. Most guys after getting their Citizenship, will also vote for republicans... So to me if we can somehow through, under, around get that visa recapture, we are all back to business my friend.. It is not a separate issue. It is the issue..

I noticed someone posted this in one other thread. I just noticed this as the 3rd headlines on CNN home page.
Coopheal:
If you really contributed $2400 as you say in your post and if you are really EB3 with PD 2003, then you wouldnt be asking others or me the questions. You didnt list a single action item that makes obvious sense to most people here.
Do you want me also to write below " I contributed $8000 so far".. Do you think it will make anyone to even contribute a $ here unless they see a point. Wake up and come up with a better plan.
what is the point of asking you the question when you are just blank...? is it going make any one's life any better.? I still remember you are not even able to send the $25 check and want to put 'contributed $8000'. Dont you think its funny?:rolleyes:

I highly doubt any one with a full time job will trade enough volume for it to be cost effective to claim trader status when filing taxes. If you trade for a living,not work as a trader then it makes absolute sense to file as a trader.
What is the advantage of claiming trader status on your tax return? I buy / sell shares on different days of the week (example: Buy on Monday, Sell on Friday). Does that make me a day trader?
I am doing this on H1B. I do have approved EAD.

Being a volunteer, I had a chance to meet most of the members of the core team and other selfless volunteers. I also met the staffs of three congressmen and attended the congressional reception as well. I'll cherish this memory forever, since not many will get this chance in their lifetime.
One of the memorable moment on a personal level is, I met two of my high school juniors after more than 15yrs. It was a great feeling.
Chandu I met you also near the U-Haul truck when returning things after capitol hill meeting......
And I happened to be one of those juniors Nandha is talking about.It was a wonderful experience .

I clicked on
You need Service on a case that has already been filed
Then next page clicked on
EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.
Give me following message:
At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later.
Return to USCIS On-Line
I was wondering how you were able to schedule an appointment? I would appreciate if you could help me in this.

Here is the reality: The thread is 2 years old and we have not had a group of motivated folks who could commit both time and money for this. In the last 2 years thousands have read this thread and have got greencard, but after getting greencard most people have different priorities in life. Writing posts on the forum asking IV to work on it will not get anything done on this issue. Nobody else will do anything unless those who seriously want to work on it commit their time and money for it.
They need to be going to fund raisers of lawmakers and contributing to election campaigns etc as a first step to lobbying. We need to see IV green card and citizen members doing this more regularly anyways to help others in line behind them and get more politically active.
Few things for GC holders to know:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Can non-US citizens contribute?
Foreign nationals are prohibited from making any contributions or expenditures in connection with any election in the U.S. Please note, however, that "green card" holders (i.e., individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S.) are not considered foreign nationals and, as a result, may contribute. For additional information, consult our "Foreign Nationals" brochure.
Read more : Foreign Nationals Brochure (http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/foreign.shtml)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here is how people can organize this effort:
If some green card holders seriously want to work on this issue, the first thing they need to do is form a team. Commit for a long term effort. This is not going to be an effort for a few month or days but will take several years. After you form a team, the next task would be gather as many people as you can who want to work on this issue and wish to meet lawmakers. You will also need start-up money to work on this effort. This effort is not as simple as fixing green card backlogs. If we are thinking working on this effort will be as simple as writing emails, then it will not be worth spending time. Be prepared to personally go and meet lawmakers in both your area and DC every couple of months. IV core team has been making trips to DC every month for past 4 years and only then we have been able to bring our issue in focus.
Citizenship rule change would change the INA and would require lot of support from H1B community, Greencard holders and citizens. It would require lot of funds too. Be ready to contribute your own funds (not hundreds but more than that to start) to run advocacy tasks. IV site is just a platform with a web-forum, but the real work that costs money is daily advocacy operations. Running is site is not expensive. Once the effort gains momentum, you can raise from IV forums from other Greencard members as a separate pool just like we did for FOIA.
At this time IV does not have the bandwidth or resources to work on this issue. Our primary focus is fixing greencard backlogs so that our members are out of the Greencard Queue. We started this organization for this purpose and we wish to finish what we started before we take on any new effort. Even though some core team members have Greencards, we are all committed to work on Greencard backlogs and will not work on other agenda items in our limited time. It will have to be a parallel team within IV that can work on this issue. IV team can guide as needed but we simply cannot divide our limited time and resources on a new effort.
Pappu,
I've sent you a PM. Please let me know. We are committed to follow the instructions of IV leadership to take this further.
All,
Please send me a PM to me join in this parallel effort. Lets collect a list of folks and organize a dedicated effort.
I fully second Pappu's comment as the current IV core leadership does not have time/$$ to spend on Citizenhip. Getting GC for all of us has and should be the first priority. Thanks to IV core and many of us fellow volunteers, their effort has paid off as things are moving decently fast for EB2 for now. Hopefully our fellow EB3 friends also see some hope in FY'11. As I was saying in the previous posts, many big corps have not filed for new labors in FY'08, FY'09 which should free up many ROW visas. This should help EB3 in the near future.

How do you know that this year quota finished on first day because of �Indian Companies�? Do you have any proof to support your blame? And what is �Indian consulting firms�? Why is it ok for one group of companies to file for H1 and not ok for another group of companies to file H1? Why is it �UNFAIR� for consulting companies to take large number of H1 quota? Isn�t H1 considered to be for the �best and the brightest�? Wouldn�t it make more useful for the �best and the brightest� to provide solutions to many companies at the same time by working for consulting companies? Why discriminate against consulting industry?
Here is some information that may help you gauge the reality. There is lot of companies in US that would not fit into your definition of �Indian Companies�. These companies have filed for large number of H1s that too would have finished the H1 quota. If it is ok for an H1 employee to work for a shoe making company, then why is it �UNFAIR� for H1 employee to work for a consulting company?
Bottom line is:
1.) There is green card backlog for 6-10 yr. Any company would love to get an insurance policy that an employee will work for them for that long period. So one reason for this quest for H1 is due to delays in green card processing. If someone gets their greencard in 1-2 yrs., H1 visa approval will not get the employers any insurance policy for long term employee. And the demand for H1 due to this factor would subside.
2.) More importantly, even if demand for H1 would subside due to green card processing in 1-2 yr, the fact that unemployment rate is very low will still exist. Unemployment rate is making it hard for companies to find the right people at the right time at the right place. So companies are looking for ways to recruit the necessary talent, wherever that talent is available. IEEE wants all foreign engineers out of the country so that their membership base of engineers here, who do not want to learn new technology, could get the taste of late 90s. So for you to first attack a set of consulting companies and then cheer around the bill hoping that �the changes going to be introduced to fix the system will not screw us and complicate more the immigration process.� is exactly how it is going to play out. Infact, anti-immigrants will come to this site and cut-paste comments like yours into their report to strengthen their argument when they would go out to lobby in favor of this bill. So Best of Luck for your ranting.
For the sake of clarity, I do not work for a consulting company. But I realize that this bill could potentially effect everybody on this forum. Also, I see a racist attitude in this bill against the huge consulting industry. And this negative attitude against consulting industry will have a snow ball effect into rest of the economy and society. I don't think IEEE took that into consideration.
I have no problem with the consulting business. In fact, I had been working on this in my home country. The problem is the way we are or would be affected due of some them are not so transparent immigration practices which are mainly from India.
Let see this case, a company sponsor a large number of H-1B to individuals that does not have real job offer, but look for real jobs after they get approved, while a second person does have a job offer but cannot get it because the H-1B quota was reached very early.
Does this makes those individuals �the best and brightest�, while the second person not?
Knowing that there are very limited H-1B available per year, do you think this situation is FAIR for the second person or his sponsor company?
From last year information, who are the top ten H-1B sponsors? What they have in common, their home country or type of business? And it is not a secret that more than half of the whole H-1B where issued to the top two H-1B sponsor companies combined, and in a very short time. You don�t need to be very bright to figure out what will be their next steps to secure H-1B visas within their company. So I presume that all those top H-1B sponsors will compete again for their piece of cake, but more fiercely.
I have never mention to be in favor or against for any proposed bill. The apparently abuse of the system is what causing all this mess, which are the real more reasons to the anti-immigrant, but not my comments or your comments. For now it look like we will be facing a dilemma, not to be able to apply for the H-1B because the quota is reached before we can accept a job offer, or face stricter and harder rules that probably will make the application almost impossible. I only hope the H-1B can be regulated without impacting us negatively.

Hi
yes, thats what my lawyer says as well ... under section 245 k which applies to employment based GC applications, we can file follow-to-join within 180 days. In the mean time h4 status gets nulled and we should not travel out of the country.
I believe that as soon as you file under section 245k, your spouse will be eligible for EAD, AP.
Also, I have heard that 245k is straightforward and will be granted quickly- meaning your spouse will be granted gc in a couple months.

Sent it the friday before hurricane Ike hit (Sep 12, 2008) and got the passport back Oct 02, 2008.
Normal processing (not tatkal)
Sent it from Florida
Was worried it might take months based on people complaining on the forums, but pleasantly surprised to receive it promptly.

To begin with, Slumdogs writing style is really refreshing and one day he writes a book, I may be inclined to buy it :)
But he seems to be really upset about the "Non GC house buying" group bashing ..I think the bashing is both ways. Many a time these self proclaimed SMART home owners feel that they know too much and ridicule people who haven't bought a house yet.
And the big reason people who bought homes give is they are giving their family and children a good quality of life ..And people who dont buy homes are SELFISH A** who don't care about their family and only care about saving Money.
I seriously don't understand this argument. For one i don't own a home yet. I definitely want to one day. But currently i rent a beautiful 3 bed town home with my own backyard which connects to a beautiful park. the yard is maintained by the community .. Also all the maintenance is taken care off. I am totally happy where i live..The day i feel bored i will move into a better place. So for me when i buy a house it should be much better than where i stay currently in every sense. My dream home should be truly luxurious in every sense, And i should feel that my standard of living has gone up after i buy a home. As of today my dream home in a good location is not affordable for me. So till the affordability criteria is not met, I plan to rent a nice home.
So to conclude please do not equate quality of life to buying a house. Its the people who live inside, who make a house a "HOME".
