add me to the R.Williams list
buckeye98 - 2nd July/7:55am/ R.Williams /I140 -NCS/ NO RN NO CC, NO DATA IN SYSTEM
I am really frustrated now. Whats the use of my doing every effort to make sure my application reaches the first day. Why is USCIS receipting cases from August when so many july 2 filers are still waiting? Should we all send some inquiry into our cases together?
We should start contacting congress man/woman in our area and need to start escalating it. Do we have any other options?

PD: Feb 06 EB2 I
CPO: Aug 6th
Received approval notice: Aug 12th
Received cards for self and spouse: Aug 16th
Greened finally after 10 years in the country!
Contributed $100 to IV - Receipt ID: 0122-2698-8222-7402 (have contributed in the past as well).
To folks waiting for the magic email...hang in there....your time will definitely come. In the meantime, do all you can to ensure that USCIS closes out your case (such as SR, emails, congressman, etc.). In my case, the first four working days of August were very difficult...as it's very hard to sit around and not do anything. I did open an SR by calling USCIS on the 5th, but I am not sure if it mattered since we received the magic email the very next day.

Hello Pappu,
I feel we should have some banners up in different Indian stores, specially targeting some selfish EAD holders, who already feel they got their green cards irrespective of the current visa bulletin
1. Setting up banners will not only attract new members, but will make these EAD holders think from a rational perspective.
2.Also IV administration should send out a personal email to all it members, informing them about the importance of coming together, this way the EAD members who have stopped coming to IV will get the message.
3. We should contact the Indian newspaper editors, to print about our rally on March1st 2009, I believe more awareness we spread a better result we get.
Thank you
Some ideas are good. In order to implement them, we need support from members. Pls volunteer and take up the ideas to lead them. For example I have mentioned about poster and banner campaign. If each one of us, prints them and post them in various places, we can get good publicity.
We have to make do with such low cost volunteer work. Someone pointed out that we should contact newspapers and get articles published. Wish it was so easy. We have written tons of mails but that alone does not work. You need to issue press releases and publish them online. Publishing them each online costs a couple hundred dollars by publishing services who distribute, and there is no guarantee it will be picked up. Thus you need a focussed campaign for it. There are services where you can contact reporters and media on a specific topic and send them email, press release directly. If they are already writing article you can know the deadline. If you have an idea, you can pitch a story idea to the reporter directly. A good service I know costs 5K for non profits for one year. If you need access to International reporters database add 2k to it. All this is possible only if we have these kinds of resources. When we can hardly get contributions of 5k in 4 months after collecting $5 each, it is tough to plan a big media campaign. The reason why other big organizations and big anti immigrant orgs can get so much publicity is that they probably can spend their huge resources on such services. They can also afford a full time staff. We do not have all that and run IV along with our full time day time jobs. So the first thing we need to do before we run any campaign is to get more members and more contributions and monthly signups. Without that ideas may only remain on the forums.

My priority Date is EB2 May 2006. I will be current if the dates got moved.
I will be out of the country for the entire month of May.
Please let me know if it is acceptable to be out of the country during 485 approval.
Also please let me know what I need to do at the port of entry.
May not be acceptable. As soon as your dates become current, I guess you will be eligible to file for 485 on May 1st. and you must.
Come June 1st and if they retrogress, for some reason, you will miss it.
Better check with your attorney, but I think I'm right.

I dont understand why DOS/DHS/USCIS will not do anything RIGHT NOW and wait till July 2nd or 3rd??
They are probably wrangling right now...also it is possible that legality requires any amendments only to be published in July...not earlier..

Just talked to a recruiter from a software giant.
She specifically wanted to know if I was on EAD and if yes, unfortunately they cannot hire EADs during the fourth quarter (now) due to hiring budget limitations that are typical during the fourth quarter.
Q: Why does budget come in to picture here?
A: Because policy requires the legal dept to be consulted for visa holders and EADs which means additional hiring costs plus time.
But she said once the fourth quarter passes, EAD hiring is not a problem.
What the employers are doing seems illegal. Govt issues us this card for a lot of money, and now we can't use it for work?

Ask that customer service woman to give this to you in writing.
Yes, They assured me that the plan is for unlimited...also covers all the networks (Initiall y some of them thought that it's only applicable for certain networks)....there is no restrictions at all...any ways I will re confirm with them.....
The only problem with them are taxes, there are other VOIP phones in the market that they are charging just 3-4 dollars as taxes, whereas vonage is charging more than 8 dollars which is killing part.....

Drag employers and head hunters till the end. Once the deal is finalized and it is time to hire, then let them know that you have EAD. At that point no one would like to see the effort going into drain. Do not let it be the first point of filter.

Hi All,
My friend whose PD is Dec 30 2004 - EB2 - Texas got his approval email. But he is already in india and travelling back this Oct 12th.
He already has valid Advanced Parole with him.
He wants to if there are any issues for him to enter at port of entry?
Any documents or print out of approval etc to be carried with him?
Does he needs to tell the office that his GC got approved?
Please help.

Of course he can be sued. You just need to prove that you were harmed by his inane comments.

I have a question regarding the I-693 Medical exam. it was mentioned that you will need to take a vaccine for MMR, Varicella, Tetanus and Hapatitis B. it was also mentioned that they will do a tb test and a blood test for HIV and syphilis. are these all the vaccinations and blood tests required or are there aother blood test required in addition to these??
please advise. Thanks
Below are the list that I have from my lawyer to prepare my I-485 :
1. for Evidence of status you need a Copy of Last Entry I-94
non immigrant arrival/departure record, showing your admission
to the US and current status. (Front and back, make sure the date is
clear to see)
2. To show that you are always in status while you are in US you will need
Copies of all immigration related documents from USCIS
(such as I-20, OPT, H1B, H4 approval notice, or other status)
3. Copy of Birth Certificate
(need translate & notarize if not in English)
4. Copy of Marriage Certificate if you are married
(need translate & notarize if not in English)
5. Copy of Passport pages with non immigrant visa
(including all passports you have used since the last entry you need to
copy all the stamp you had on the passport. Again this is to show the
last time your in you US and to make sure you are always in status)
6. I-693 (Medical Exam)
(You can dial 1-800-375-5283 to choose the physician list)
you will required to show a proof that you have take MMR, Varicella, Tetanus and hepatitis B
if you can't show any proof they will required you to take it on their office and it will cause you quite a lot money ( you can take
the vaccine earlier on your family/ regular dr. office and could get covered by you insurance) it could save you $300 per person.
the mandatory test you have to take at their office is tb test, blood test
for HIV and syphilis and regular phisical test. once you have all vaccine
and the mandatory test they should gave you the seal envelope to send to USCIS along with your other document and they will give you a copy as well.
7. If you apply for your family member you will need
I-134 (Affidavit of Support) stamp by Notary for each family member
8. Employment Verification Letter
Employement letter on the letter head of the petitioning employer
which confirms that the job on which visa petition is based is still
available to you. The letter must also state the salary that will be paid.
9 . Photos (2*2 color front-view passport photos)
*2 for each I-485, additional 2 for each I-131,
additional 2 for each I-765
10 Fee Payment made to USCIS (1 per applicant)
$325 for each I-485 filing fee
$70 for each Fingerprint fee
$170 for each I-131 filing fee (if apply for Advance Parole)
$180 for each I-765 filing fee (if apply for Employment Authorization) .
Hope this list is help for those who is ready preparing their document.
please advise. Thanks

I called up to find that my application is still not in the system. Surprisingly, the IO would not put the phone down and keeps on chatting to enlighten me. Seem to have lot of time on hand.
1. My application is most likely transfered to texas since my I-140 was approved there
2. FIFO is valid only if the application is not transfered. Once it is transfered, the receiving center will take the date 'they' received to put in queue for data entry. If your application took continental US tour, more delay.
3. He is asnwering 5-6 calls every day from July 2 filers. There are several of them. So plenty of July 2 apps still waiting to be entered.
4. The application is not rejected for sure, since even a rejection would be entered into the system.
5. he cannot raise a service request without receipt number.
I sent mail to USCIS withe fedex scanned signature, wrote to Senator. Its frustrating.
The bottom line is there is no bottomline, except to wait.
For me also similar reply...From an IO.

You missed my point entirely. The better thing for everybody is to decouple the namecheck from the green card so that the name check can go on for as long as the FBI desires while you get the green card which can be revoked if the name check fails. To get a large government agency to spin their wheels faster so that some foreigners benefit in a post 9/11 world is a lunatic and impractical way of thinking.
Will all due respects, I did not miss your point; I completely understand it. But the reality is that, GC is one step away from citizenship and all constitutional rights. Even with BG checks if wrong people enter, how worse it would be - even if it is just an "interim GC" - without full BG checks. No sane citizen of any country would buy that kind of argument for his or her country. Rather, if you say 'I would pay for you to do your job better', then
you would have audience.
According to FBI, it is not a pathological procrastinator or diabolically negative to immigration like CIS. Their job is not to count the immigrants, rather to make sure right people come in. They are overwhelmed by the demand and limited by staff numbers. Help them to increase their efficiency by adding more numbers to their staff. Similar arguments went thru the Congress like a cakewalk when USCIS recommended increase in visa/immigration fees: "more fees, more revenue, more employees, more productivity". With CIS, i have no hope for any intrinsic improvement anytime soon even with more millions. But one can still have hopes on FBI.
With few 100,000 new applicants in the past 2 months, it would be a joke to ask FBI to skip the BG check and give them all GC. It is going to be more sadder joke on us, when this flood of new applicants start pulling down the name check process to oblivion. There are going to be more people among the new applicants stuck with BG checks in the next 2-4 years than ever had been.
