Desi,
Time and again I have noticed that you backed your suggestions with relevant documents. I for one, commend you for the work you do on this forum. I was almost thinking this case might set a precedent for dormant H1B, but apparently not. The other information that you provided on the other forum that was completely new to me was, when you pulled out the document regarding GC for the child of permanent resident born abroad.
Thank you for good work.
Thanks so much for your kind words of appreciation.
I believe in sharing my limited knowledge of immigration laws and cases with fellow legal immigrants.

My experience with FDBL ( Filed through #1 DataStorage Firm) has been good till now. Informed well ahead, filed on time. LC processing took a bit b/c of general LC filing norms but LC cleared in 20 days and I140 in 7 days. Guess they did their paperwork and all right.

I know IV is doing its best and there are other groups fighting for HR 5882.
But honestly, what are the chances for this bill to succeed this year (before election)?
100% or 75% or 50% or 25% or 0%
Ron Gotcher predicts that none of the individual bills may pass this year.
And also that EB3 I may not move forward even next year!
I am not sure how many EB3 (I) volunteers are there in IV (who are really focussed). Are they getting nothing? The prediction is that EB3 I may go back to Nov 2001 and stay there for a while (or may be for the rest of next year).
Is the efforts of EB3 (I) volunteers being exploited (indirectly, of course)? What are they fighting for?
Here are some of my own personal thoughts:
How can one tell a percentage number for something to pass? What kind of data can we base our calculations on?
Who said EB3 India will not forward next year? Did DOS say that? An individual lawyer is not Dept. Of State. I would like to see a written proof from DOS saying this so that we can plan ahead.
There were many naysayers for the July 2007 bulletin. But IV was able to get it current again. So stop believing in predictions and believe in yourself.
I believe it is immigrants more than anyone who will benefit the most from the success of IV's efforts. Thus it is in our interest to make IV successful.
Everyone is free to take part in IV campaigns. Nobody is being 'exploited'. However, if we had a more massive effort for admin fixes, we could have seen better results. With only around 5K letters (and that too a lot of anonymous ones) you cannot expect something to happen quickly. If you are trying to convey a plight of hundreds of thousands that you need hundreds of thousands of letters.
Likewise if you need these bills to move, we cannot expect a couple hundred calls to bring a bill on the floor.
IV is IV members. It is what each IV member decides to do that decides the fate of any campaign. The contributions received during the campaign also decides how much we can invest in our lobbyists. During the past 2 months we were able to collect only $16656 (refer this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18790)). You can do your math and figure how much we can lobby when we have opposition that can spend much more.
IV can be successful only when its members want it to be.

Thats good news. Hope it works. My feeling is that EB category will have more support in the Senate if they dont overdo the helpful provisions (read cap exempt etc..).
What is good about it. How will this decrease our current backlogs. This is an amendment to change the merit based system, not solve the current backlog problem.
We cannot judge at this point in time what the final bill is going to be like.
If the merit based system after passage of the bill seem more lucrative then many will re apply under this system and we come back to square one - i.e backlogs
We have to get out of the current problem which will solve a lot of problems.

So based on what you mentioned below :
Persons who sent their apps, now if they become curent in Oct, they will process those applications. And all others appls will be returned by Oct/Nov 2007 ?
Seems like folks have to wait in dark for 3 months ? are u sure about this ? or is it hearsay ?
I have always been of the opinioin, that the most correct thing for the USCIS to do at this point is to not return the applications, but hold them until Oct. When the window technically re-opens, just swallow everything that is on hold - the window technically only needs to open for a few seconds for that to happen.
The other thing they should also do is accept all 485 applications till the end of July and process them likewise.
Giving everyone EAD/AP benefits does not hurt....they can then line up all the 500-700K people and issue the green cards as per visa number/PD/RD availability...

What I understood is that an alien can be granted a PR only when visas are available...
BUT ... we are asking CIS to allow to apply for AOS when immigrant visa is not available...
Incorrect! Please read again.
Section 1255. Adjustment of status of nonimmigrant to that of
person admitted for permanent residence
(a) Status as person admitted for permanent residence on application and
eligibility for immigrant visa
The status of an alien who was inspected and admitted or paroled
into the United States or the status of any other alien having an
approved petition for classification under subparagraph (A)(iii),
(A)(iv), (B)(ii), or (B)(iii) of section 1154(a)(1) of this title or \1\
may be adjusted by the Attorney General, in his discretion and under
such regulations as he may prescribe, to that of an alien lawfully
admitted for permanent residence if (1) the alien makes an application
for such adjustment, (2) the alien is eligible to receive an immigrant
visa and is admissible to the United States for permanent residence, and
(3) an immigrant visa is immediately available to him at the time his
application is filed.
This means that visa number must be available at the time of filing I-485.
For a minute let us assume you are correct and If it can be ONLY be changed by Law, then why did DHS secretary mention in the memo as ... "including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases"
I am not trying to argue... I am just trying to justify
Well, Read again. I hope it answers your question.
Here is the test from newsletter
What regulatory or legislative changes (including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases) are recommended to facilitate caseload planning and make optimum use of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudication capacity?

My Mother in law is severely sick, and my wife needs to travel asap. We need to get her AP, as it's expired.
1. Is there an urgent processing option for the AP? And how ?
2. Can she travel on the receipt of application, and I can send the AP document to her by FEDEX?
Thanks,
Just go to the USCIS office even if you do not get an infopass. Go with I-485 receipt, 2 passport size photos. If you go first thing in the morning, you might be able to get the AP issued to you the same day. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A LETTER FROM THE HOSPITAL/DOCTOR STATING HER CONDITION. It can be a faxed copy.

To the major headache we will be facing. Economy.
It is going to get nasty and there will be massive layoffs. We will have to hope for a quick recovery. Just today lehman, then washington mutual...who knows what is in store next. I heard that car companies are asking for bailouts. We got to end this war and spend the money here on improving the economy. All this money wasted in war is draining the economy...

Options
1. Two weeks pay that's it I need to leave the company which leads me to square one of GC processing(Having approved I140 with PD Dec 2004 in EB3)

What PlainSpeak says, whether you like it or not, makes sense (well mostly; I dont understand that . part.. you guys are making me learn something), and is healthy for debate. I recommend you man up and get a bit civil, so we can all at least look good.

Same here ... for EAD and AP (for me or dependent) my company does not reimburse these fees. They will however reimburse if I have to use EAD to work due to unavoidable H1 extension issues/ inability to extend beyond 6 yrs etc. I think that is a fair and reasonable policy in general
what I mean to say is, if i do self filing my employer will not reimburse it and if fragomen files it then fragomen gets directly paid by my employer.

Right now we dont know what happened but it will be months before anything comes out.
Also overall safety record of AF is now pathetic, blame it on weather or something else.
1990s: 3 Fatal accidents
2000s:
2000: AF concorde crashes in Paris on takeoff, all 109 onboard killed. Cause Tire burst due a metal plate that fell from previous plane taking off, the tire burst hit the petrol tanks under the wings and burst them.
2005: AF A340 (aircraft type with no prior incident) overruns runway in Toronto and pilot is blamed for error.
2009: AF A330 disappears mid air.
Total fatal accidents in 20 years = 6
Last fatal accident on Air India was Kanishka bombing in 1985.
Indian Airlines had most notorious record from 1980 - 1993. However, there are no fatal incidents since 1993 on Indian Airlines
and all of us hate Air India and Indian Airlines for safety record. Until recently they both flew really old planes.

I had been there in US for 7 yrs (3 yrs in L2->1yr out of US->4 Yrs in H1B). Saw the myths and tragedy of US GC process very closely. Didn't want to spoil peace of life and my hard earned money with USCIS and lawyers:mad:. Didn�t look at the US GC application and applied for Canadian PR. Came to Canada with PR last year from US. Peacefully settled in Toronto with nice job and benefits, bought my brand new car 4 months back. Nice and friendly people and government. Happy to be in Canada. No more stamping issues, tons of junk paper works, consulate visit PA and wired look from immigration officers at POE�. enough�. I am not going back to US even for a visit in next 5 yrs..�
But I can go out of Canada and enter any time and as many time as I want. Can you do that too???? :D
To those who are portraying wrong picture of Canada, all I can say, if you have skills, personality and capability, you�ll succeed anywhere in this world, be it in US, Canada or Australia. Don�t blame it on a country, but look at yourself.
Just my 2 cents.
