    Senate Bill S 1085 is active, Senator Menendez from New jersey.
    Please meet or call your Senators office to support, co-sponsor this Bill.
    The lame duck Session until end of 2010 is a good time to bring Piece meal Bills.
    I see we have 274 members who are interested, This is a good time to get into action, all others please join too!

    Original note from member Rajeev:
    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum107-interesting-topics/1686304-no-house-for-democrats-no-cir-2.html#post2080154

    "It seems that the bill S 1085 (the Reuniting Families Act (RFA) has become active again. I received e-mails from Senator Menedez and Senator Lautenberg talking about the bill. Senator Menendex mentioned the recapture employment-based visas that haven't been used in past years so that they may be used in future years. Among other things, he also mentioned that he will continue to address the concerns of employment-based visas in the context of comprehensive immigration reform. He is the sponsor of the S 1085 bill."

    Problem being that last page of that thread keeps refreshing itself and everytime i scroll down to the bottom of the page it keeps going back to the top. Sounds like some script is running in the background.

    � Filing Fees: $1450.00 ($315 x2) + ($165 x 2) + ($175 x 2) + ($70 x 2); for two petitioners (indianabacklog - reported these fees are outdated. Please check these fees with USCIS website)
    � Form G-28, Notice of Entry; (for each petition (I-485, I-765 & I-131) and for each petitioner
    � Form 1-485, Application for Permanent Residence, with two (2) photographs attached and picture I.D.;
    � Form 1-13 1, �Application for Travel Document,� with two (2) photographs and picture I.D.;
    � Form 1-765, �Application for Employment Authorization,� with two (2) photographs and picture ID.;
    � Copies of Form 1-94 and H-lB visa stamp;
    � Copy of Form 1-797 Approval Notice for H-lB Petition;
    � Copy of Form 1-797 Approval Notice for 1-140 Petition;
    � Copy of passport;
    � Copy of long form birth certificate;
    � Copy of marriage certificate;
    � Form 1-693, Medical Examination Results (sealed); (In medical examination go for chest X-ray instead of skin test).
    � Form G-325, Biographic Information.


    Try to read all the forms before you signed and send to attorney. Due to heavy work more chances to mess up the information from attorney side. Try to download all these forms from USCIS (some of these are fill able with save option) and try to fill as much as you can, at least your personal details, residency history in US etc and compare with your attorney documents when they sent for your signature.


    Best of luck guys who all are eligible to file their I-485 after long waiting time.
    What is this picture I.D.? My wife is on H4 the only I.D. she has is passport ( NO DL). What else can we submit for photo id?

    Please provide info.

    here is all the info that you needed indian111

    EAD renewal filed for my wife (i'm working on h1 and didn't apply for me)
    Efiled at TSC on May 29th and sent the documents right away
    got a soft lud on June 6th and then received FP notice in mail.
    FP done on June 21st as per the notice..

    After that there was no lud, no update for long time... we started getting little worried..

    on the 69th day my wife called uscis to inquire. uscis representative was nice to talk but gave same info as you see online. but he said that we can call after 75 days to open SR.
    my wife called on the 75th day which was Friday August 15th. she used the POJ method (i found it somewhere on this forum). she again got a nice person. the rep said that she will open the SR and said that can request expediting. but said that in 5 days they will let us know if the expedite request is accepted or not.
    over the weekend i was thinking of taking the infopass appointment but thought i would wait for a week more

    and today morning i got the email from CRIS about cpo..

    as i said, i'm not sure if today's status update is anyway linked to the SR she opened..

    do let me know if you need more info..

    Why do we always equate some educational qualification from some institute to capability? Remember Einstein, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Cornegie, Rockefeller.... list goes on.

    Vow, what are you suggesting? Everybody should drop out? People like Einstein, Bill Gates etc are one in a multi-million chance, 99.9% dropouts don't fall into that category. There is a reason people from elite institutes are respected/sought after. Agreed, there may be some totally incompetent inspite of being from a Tier1 school, but whats the percentage of such people? 0.01 %?

    Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a question as follows. I was with an old company and transferred the H1 in the 9th year to the new company. I already had my Labor and I-140 approved with the old company (EB3-I Category).
    After switching to this new company I had to start my PERM all over again as I missed the July 2007 boat and could not file for I-485. My new company is based in L.A.-California. I am already drawing my salary from new company. They only have office in L.A. I work for them from my home office in NJ. Today the company's attorney called & asked me that I needed to have L.A. residential address as it is required to be stated on the application. I have no intentions to move to L.A. in near future. I am in a fix now as to how to go about this. I will appreciate all you gurus and experts advice and also please advise me repercussions if any.
    Please help.

    I applied for 10 years passport extension ( old one issued from india) on March 05.2008 by Fedex. CGI Houston received it on March 06. Couldn't contact consulate employees as no one picks up the phone.

    So went today to CGI Houston to check the status personally.
    Checked with mail room and came to know that they had posted the passport yesterday. I received it in Fedex today. CGI mail room even provided me Fedex tracking number.

    Old passport issued from : India
    CGI received date: March-06-2008
    Completed processing: April-12-2008
    Fedexed the passport : April 16, 2008
    Received new passport: April 17,2008

    CGI Mail room keeps track of the passport status. They can lookup the applicant name and find the status.

    Thanks IV core group. Signed up for $20/month. Please continue your efforts.

    I am from Chinese community and registered IV just a couple of week ago. There was no email message to me regarding this movement, and some other registerd users may encounter the same situation. You may need to resend them. Only when I opened IV website yesterday did I know this recurring program and current situation. I am assuming IV is the only group who are pushing to get the I-485 relief for high skilled workers with advanced degree. There are MANY MANY Chinese in the same situation but I guess there might not have so many Chinese in IV. IV core group may think of some better way to reach more Chinese or other communities. Basically, we are on the same boat for the same direction. Better to concentrate all resources to reach the same goal. I would suggest IV to setup a seperate Chinese (or Hispanic) contribution page to diverse the culture background of IV members.

    A lot can be achieved, if all members honestly contact and meet and talk with the staff of the lawmakers in their town.

    The problem with the EB Community/ IV members is that we think that going and talking with our lawmakers is not going to help. Or, we are under the impression that all politicians generally know everything about us and are just unwilling to do anything about it for political reasons.

    The truth is that 90% of lawmakers and their staff have no clue that there are thousands backlogged and stuck in this process for a decade.

    It is our job to educate, bring our issues to light and keep pressure on them to bring/cosponsor or vote for a meaningful bill that will allievate our problems.

    When I visited my local congresswoman's office the first time in 2007- The staff was actually shocked to hear that I have done all the right paperwork and being employed and stuck for 5 years.

    Over the years, I have met them many times and educated them about the issues and build a relationship. And yet, many times the staff wonders if there are really thousands of people like me affected, how is it that there is just me that is visiting them and talking about it.

    Remember there are 435 house representatives and 100 senators. Each one of you are within driving distance (40 minutes) to a office of a rep.

    You are absolutely right!
    Many lawmakers are not aware of the problems with high skilled legal immigrants. It happened with my Rep. To them, fixing immigration means - doing something about illegal immigrants - whether it is to send them back or to give them a path to gc/citizenship.

    They asked me about how many legal high skilled immigrants are stuck in the state, and why is it that they are not voicing their concerns. As I did not have the statistics of how many legal hs immigrants were in the state, I told them that they were in a better position to get the information from the USCIS than I was. They nodded, and I have met with them many more times after that, and I ask if they have the statistic - they are yet to seek it from the USCIS. Its just me and my spouse visiting this office, so there is no urgency, or need for them to push themselves to find or act on it.......

    Unless, there is united messaging throughout the country, our voices will only be feeble and gets drowned out by others who are speaking loud.

    I started a thread about making meeting with lawmakers a priority this year, just a couple posted about meeting. That shows where we are in terms of advocating for the changes that will benefit us........
    Just my thoughts..

    Deadline = April 30th, 2011
    Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.

    2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
    3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")

    This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.

    As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.

    Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
    Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative

    As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.

    The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    What can you do to participate?
    1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.

    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

    Then please send an email to ivcoordinator@gmail.com (starsun) with subject - "I485 filing without current PD - Impacted Member". Include your a) IV username b) Email address c) Phone #, d) State of Residence e) Priority Date - so that grassroot efforts can be coordinated

    2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

    I485 Filing Initiative Flier (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/a/a8/Flier_I485_latest2.pdf)

    3) Volunteers have created a facebook community and an Immigration Voice WIKI page to spread the message about this initiative. Please circulate these links among your friends/co-workers who will be helped.

    Please "Share" and "Link" and "send to friend" the facebook community via your Facebook account. Also include these two links when you post on the IV forum.

    I am looking for advice on the strategy for filing the third phase since the PDs for my wife and me have become current. My PD is Feb 2003 (EB2) and my wife's is June 2003 (EB3). My wife and I are on 8-th yr H-1B extensions with approved I-140s. Which strategy makes sense and are they even valid? The objective is to go with a risk-free strategy that gets us the GC in the quickest manner.

    1. I apply for I-485 (AOS) using my PD, with my wife as dependent. And my wife applies for I-485 (AOS) using her PD, with me as dependent.
    2. I apply for I-485 (AOS) using my PD, with my wife as dependent. And my wife applies for Consular Processing using her PD, with me as dependent. OR vice versa.
    3. Any other option?

    Thanks,
    Jayant

    May I know in what respect multi-national execs are inferior to researchers?

    Well, may be they are not inferior. But, the people who are getting treated as multinational execs for GC purpose are no way close to being one. I have seen two of my colleagues working with me got their GC's through EB1... and seriously these guys don't even do typical day to day project management job. Documents are cooked up for them as managers... like they do yearly appraisals for others (which I definately know they don't), like they do recruitment (again the guys I know don't), like they are PMP certified... and seriously, both the guys I know are certified :-) But, you know how the certifications work... come no way closer to doing some research :-). I am giving you a first hand experience...anything else?
