While I did consider that when i was reading his email, is it not true that there were around 10000 visas wasted last year because of inability of USCIS processing the applications (essentially processing delays). Should we assume that USCIS ability has increased 4 times this year?
There is one major flaw in your lawyers analysis.
He is correct in saying that they issued 11,111 GC's per monththis year, but however that was under retrogression when dates were so far behind (dates for EB2 and EB3 India hadnt moved for ever). His analysis does not take into account those whose 485's may have been pre approved but were not issued a GC due to date not being current. We are not talking about new applications being approved but those whose applications were already preapproved and just waiting for visa numbers.
Anyway no one knopws what will really happen. Just file as early as possible and leave the rest to luck or divine power. Jo hoga dekha jayega, but this is not the time for tyupical desi procascination.

We are all eligible for social security benefits (as long as we meet the point accrual requirements).
Not to say in the future there won't be a law that will make us ineligible.
QUOTE=rmdsouza]Immigration reform will not take place unless the lack of reform costs the government. Now, we all know that H1-Bs pay Social Security Tax and Medicare Tax. Also, according to the rules, we are not eligible for the benefits. Considering the average pay of a H1-B is $60000. This unfair tax amounts to about $2300 per/year/person. Now there are about 350,000 H1-B stuck in Labor for the past 2-3 years. The total amount in unfair tax is nearly
$2.4 BILLION!!! (I am being very conservative about this figure)
Maybe they will pay attention if a lawsuite is filed to recover these taxes..
Just my two cents worth...[/QUOTE]

Why do I get a feeling you are incapable of digesting the concept of "Law of the land". There are certain rules that govern PR & Citizenship statuses ( of all countries)and only land mark & ground breaking edicts can alter such law’s , and that too very slightly. To put it were tersely "this is a bullshit suggestion" and is really wasting the purpose of this forum. The only reason so many people have responded is that it is "THAT RIDICULOUS"
Except you, most of them who responded to this thread like this thought. May be you are thinking too much about yourself as a perverted intellectual. May be it is your inborn nature. Try to understand the meaning of this thread first.

Clicking the mouse for 30 mins after 8 spoons of sugar ..wonder what that does :confused:..Let's see. Each spoon of sugar has about 15 calories. 8 spoons = 120 calories. 60 minutes of walking at a moderate pace burns about 120 - 150 calories. Clicking a mouse uses like 3 fingers and some wrist movements..I should stop now..LOL..Just a way to keep this thread on Top.
Clicking mouse constantly for half an hour after having 8 spoons of sugar.. :)By the way, i got your emails and will work out application form this weekend.. I had a plan to send it last weekend but could not do it.. Sorry for little delay.

Look out for AAPL. Stocks getting clobbred in the after hours as Jobs announced he is taking a medical leave. Also guys in forex watch EUR/GBP.
If I do not see nervousness in the markets then I think tomorrow I am going to buy Oracle, Wal-Mart, Devon and may be Cisco. Expected return by BOB's inauguration 10%.
For Novices - do not buy SMALL Cap and Do not buy stocks < $5 (as suggested by Chintu25)

Scroll to the Advocacy tab and read thru the "Meet the lawmakers" document.
Meeting is better than emailing, as emails do not get read. Ask IV Coordinator for the presentation zip when you get an appointment with your lawmaker.

Im still waiting too. e-filed may 23rd. fp done on June 17th.
Expedite request denied, have an infopass appointment on August 14th. I will see what they will say
Getting too worried as my current ead is going to expire on Sep 19th.
Looking at the tracking it looks like TSC has started to work on all these pending cases. Hopefully our petitions get approved soon too
Will keep you posted
I have the very exact EAD expiry date. I think after 75 days you can open a SR and after 90 days we can try for interim EAD.. That's what I'm planning to do. Please keep me updated on your case and infopass appt

Hunger strike ?, i dont know my friend, sounds like a neat idea to get attention, but then what happens if its becomes an indefinite hunger strike, i mean i hope you do understand the consequences of that.
I think we are at a stage where people are fed up with the process, but i hope good things happen to people who wait.

Hi,
I applied for H1 and H4 for my Family in 2005. I was working on L visa that time. Our H1 and h4 got approved in October 2005 but we were in India that time. We came to US again on L Visa in 2006.
After coming on L visa my new employer applied for my H1 change of status again in 2006 but not for family. Their H4 from 2005 was valid till 2008.
But Now while I am changing my job, New attorney says that my family is out of status and because we did not file H4 for them again.
What is the alternative to bring them in status. They have vaild i-94 from L2 which is valid till 2009 and they have approved h4 from 2005 which is valid till 2008.
Now my new employer have started my H1 transfer. I am thinking that for my family I will apply H4 change of status once my approval comes. Is that Okay or there is any other alternative to bring them in the status.
My family can not travel to India for H4 stamping till the end of this year. My wife will be delivering a baby in October. Will there be any problem for my new born baby for the passport?
Please advise.
Thanks

have made these points many times before, but once again, in recognition of your legitimate angst.
first the bottom line. a golden opportunity presented itself- we did not ask for it, the visa bulletin was made current out of the blue. we have grabbed that opportunity but that does not mean that this was the core goal of iv as an organization- those goals remain, our campaign continues, this little fire we have lit must grow to the point where all retrogression can be resolved. we have NOT forgotten that our friends in BEC are still stuck in the most unjust process.
next: please stop repeating this line that everything will be unavailable for years and people will cut the line. understand this: in oct the dates cannot be U. because there will be new numbers. therefore they will come up with a date- a retrogressed date allowing BEC people to file as soon as their LC is approved. just because a 06-07 applicant has a 485 in the system does not mean a Gc is imminent. GC can ONLY be alloted if the dates are current. The dates will be current for you long long long before anyone that's applied lately. If the dates remain U, USCIS cannot allot a single GC- and that cannot happen.
please be patient with those who are celebrating their stroke of luck. life is not fair and USCIS is weird anyway with it's FIFO. the ombudsman says they pick "low hanging fruit". we have much to fight for yet.
let's not fight among ourselves.
please.

Why is Atlanta processing PERM applications so slowly versus Chicago? Is this always the case? Do they always process at such a slow pace? It is really frustrating when people filing their labor from Chicago are getting approvals in not more than a month people from Atlanta are waiting for 3-4-5 months and even longer. What is wrong?

So are you saying that date will go back in the middle of the month?
During this period they approved applicants whose date was not current. These persons are getting GCs and there is a thread for such applicants. It is possible that there are 40K+ such persons. Hence, the following does not matter.
