Hi,
I am on H1B visa. My parents due to medical condition cannot take care of themselves. Can I get them on H4 visa as dependent? I would like to keep them for 2-3 years in US and take care of them. Please let me know my options.
Thanks in advance.

Every one is here is emotional, after seeing the beautiful collective work of USCIS/DOS/DOL/AILA ect.. Now AILA is jumping high between sky and earth and due to the mismanagement of system. Everyone knows both USCIS/DOS is mismanaging the process. However, What AILA was doing when DOS issued the visa bulletin 15 days back? Do you thing, AILA did not know the estimate of number of 485s going to be filed in the month of July? Why did not they call USCIS and DOS about the implication of making all categories current? Why did they not advised their client that there is a mistake in VB, it is not possible it will become current in just one month? All of sudden, why they are jumping and collects all the money from customers to file 485?
Here is my estimate how many 485s is going to be filed in July.
BEC has almost cleared all the backlogs. The rough estimate about 200,000 LC might have been certified by BEC. Let�s assume about 150K out of 200K candidates held back due to retrogression from 2004 to 2007. Let us assume 150 K PERM LC certified between March 2005 and June 2007 affected by retrogression. Therefore about 300K (primary) people will go for 485 in July. If we add dependents it will be another 450K. Therefore about 750K 485s+ 750K AP + 600K EAD applications will be filed in the month of july.
If 750K 485s filled in one month, we need about 5 years sum of EB visa numbers. It needs 5 years to issue the visa. There should be 750,000 EB visas should be immediately available as on July, to make all EB categories current. There are only 40,000 visas available as of June. Does AILA do not aware of this simple estimation?
There are 40,000 eligible/approvable 485 are currently pending with USCIS. The composition of PD and country of chargeability may vary between 2001 and 2007. In order to issue 40,000 remaining visas to already pending 485s they made all categories current, otherwise it will get wasted. In order to approve a 485 the PD should be current. That�s why they made it current. It is not for accepting 750,000 485s, when available number is just 40,000. AILA should have aware of it and advised the USCIS/DOS and customers properly

Members should post immigrationvoice.org link in all the forums which they know
Thanks to the IV member for posting the link on idelebrain.com site. Others pls try to post IV link on other sites and forums so that we can have more publicity and better search engine rankings

Not to be mean or pessimistic
If it reverses then it will look really bad and it means that it has accepted the mistake ..somebody will get fire from USCIS or DOS
Irespective of its action, it needs to give answer to senator ..not sure what is outcome ?
bottom line, visa is not available and if it makes current now
Isn't illegal to make VB current when numbers are not available ?

Guys,
If your PD is current, I would suggest to go ahead and create a SR, give it shot.
I have opened a SR on 8/3/2010 and my case (including my wife) approved today i.e 8/6/2010.
Thank you so much all of you for your valuable inputs/comments.
I will donate to IV and send a receipt/confirmation# soon.
Thanks & Regards

I did not write this bill. You should go to challenge Rep. Issa for that clause. In my previous post, I already said I am perfectly OK if the IV core want to modify the bill, so that the 55K can be applied to everyone. Is that very clear?
My friend there is no need for you to get antoganized with me because what i said in my previous post is more a message to everyone on this forum and is not anything personal against you. In fact i am surpirsed that you are even discussing opening up teh 55K to everyone.
I know you did not write this bill (Would have been nice if you did because you listen to the other persons argument which is sadly lacking in this forum from a long time)
There is no way we can challenge Rep Issa on this clause. We are just individuals. Yes a forum like IV can but question is will IV core do that? And the fact that you are perfectly OK with IV Core modifying the bill only shows good intention on your side but sorry to say this (You would be very naive to think IV Core will entertain such ideas)
Lets just say if IV Core does what you had proposed it will show maturity of thinking of of the group and i for one will be pleasently surprised. Not to say i am waiting with bated breath for that to happen. Call me cynical but thats the way i have seen things happen here

As some of you know, I have been working with news media, government leaders, and immigration lawyers over the past year because of the stimulus debacle. As a result, I have developed some strong contacts in government. I will be meeting some congressional immigration staffers in the next few days and I have developed a list of issues to discuss. If you want to post your own issues, feel free to do so in this thread and I will add them to the list. These are the same people who helped get the last stimulus bill changed in our favor, so they do have influence.
PLEASE be brief - bullet points would be good.
Also links to articles to support your concerns are welcome. I will put together a package to hand out at the meeting.
I thought of posting a poll on this thread, but decided it would be better to leave the discussion open ended.
WOW!!.. whats a response.. Keep going..
At the same time, keep trying yourselves also by whatever means possible. Totoro is trying so hard for us, and even if we have five guys like this with such contacts, yet the efforts are not sufficient. We must also help ourselves by our individual efforts like writing to change.gov etc.. Lets not put all the 6 pages of ideas in just one basket. Since there is difference between eggs and ideas, duplicate the ideas and put them in other ways also, apart from just here.
Totoro,
Thanks for your efforts.
We all missed one point. Can you please update your profile.
Are Canadians also backlogged in this mess.
And you said "As some of you know...." . Were you try in these lines before too.

Guys,
What do I make out of this? U think once assigned to an officer thgs shud start moving? Or...even after getting assigned to an IO thgs can go bad? Has any thing of that sort also happened? Just curious so I can be prepared...
Thanx
Just back from an Infopass appointment.
The lady was friendly and chked the status of my application. First she informed me that it was under review and then she told me that on Aug 3, it was assigned to an IO. I didn't ask any further questions as the news that my case has been assigned to an officer made me happy. I just wished her a good day and left.
Now, I'm beginning to wonder if I shud have asked more questions such as about Namecheck, FP etc...But I donno its with an IO and I guess I'll know the actual status shortly.
PD - Feb 06

It is also important for us to realize if we let go of this opportunity we could be in for a very very long wait.
When IV was not there, we had no hopes, no one could do anything, now IV and the volunteers have taken the initiative, least we can do is support them.
We all deserve a better life and more respect in this country.
Next few months are most critical for us, please take a step forward and contribute.
It is not a forever contribution, next 6 months are most important. You also have the option to cancel ur subscription when u want.

people who have excuses have excuses. We all do.
There might not be lot of ladies on the forums but the ladies we have in IV accomplish a lot and are very dedicated. I will take a highly productive and dedicated team even if it is small. Cheers
I have been swimming and strength training for quite some time now and have started kettle bells and Taek Won Do this year. I do see a lot of women working out. All I am saying is that these forums have a lower proportion of females.......pure statistics.
And yes; there are a lot of females working out and the ones who do take up martial arts are more serious than the guys. However the most common excuse cited by the ones who hesitate to take up running/walking, is security. I am trying to get the ones who are not working out to get out; the ones who are; have a lot of tenacity.
.............BTW, be nice to me. By the time you come to DC to run the race, I might have my brown belt :)

For Those who had spent more than five years in the US paying Federal Taxes, are highly skilled (MS) in STEM fields and has been delayed due to name check or Backlog etc. 5 (or 3 yrs) period should be counted from the date of receipt of I-485. (They definately need to get GC before they can apply for citizenship, counting this period)
