I like the food from a particular restaurant.
- I go there often, enjoy the food, and recommend it to my friends.
I don't like the food from a particular restaurant.
- I don't go there at all, even when I am hungry and I will tell my bad food experience to my friends - either convince them not to go there or let them decide on their choice.
Reasonable? Logical? Practical?
I like what IV has done, what IV is doing currently.
- I will visit the site often, get the information I want/need and recommend it to my friends
I don't like what IV has done, or what it is doing currently.
- I will not visit the site, as it is a waste of time and I will tell my bad experience to my friends - either convince them to leave IV or let them decide on their choice.
Reasonable? Logical? Practical?
Now, I don't like a particular restaurant, they serve bad food, bad customer service, waste of money, time - BUT I still go to the restaurant, eat the bad food, complain of the customer service, spend money knowing very well I am not getting its worth, and then stand up in the middle of this same restaurant floor and tell people this restaurant is not good (while eating) and tell my friends not to go to this restaurant (while I continue to go).
Reasonable? Logical? Practical? Or Unreasonable? Illogical? Impractical? - I would say second choice.
Let's do the same comparison:
I don't like what IV has done, nor what it is doing currently, I don't believe in anything and therefore will not participate, volunteer or contribute - BUT, I still come to IV, surf the threads, get the information I need, complain about undemocratic ways of the IV while having never made an attempt to find out more details, yet, coming on to the forums to post about why I cannot participate, volunteer and contribute. Demanding/Questioning about democratic principles while not understanding the very basis of democracy - PARTICIPATION.
Reasonable? Logical? Practical? Or Unreasonable? Illogical? Impractical? - I would say second choice.

All,
I filed the online application for EAD renewal on May 3rd and required documents were sent to Phoenix drop box on May 6th. I paid the fees using a credit card. The EAD application was returned on May 15th. Reason a signature is not contained in the signature box of the application or petition. A signature in the "Signature of person preparing form, if other than above" block is not a valid signature for this purpose. Please sign and resubmit the application with the appropriate fees. How do you sign a online application? Did I do something wrong here? The EAD application which I received back from USICS is the applicant copy. Should I sign on the applicant copy or reprint a new completed EAD form. For the fees should I just submit the previous document showing fees paid through credit card.
Any response will be appreciated.
I believe you need to send the documents to NSC or TSC for efiled applications and not to drop box facilities. the drop box is for paper filed applications only.

My husband and I are both on H1 now. My H1 will not expire until 2009 but I plan to quit my job and transfer to H4 for family reasons. Suppose I quit from H1 on June 1, 2007, what is the best time for me to file I539 to transfer to H4? Do I need to file right now or just anytime before June 1?
Another question is that if I quit H1 on June 1, but the change of status to H4 will not be approved until later, say, September 1, 2007, what will be my visa status between those time? Will I be considered out-of-status?
Thanks for your help!

I is only based on a law. In the past CIS used the law to implement one set of policy (horizontal spill over). Since the middle of 2008 CIS is using the same exact set of laws to implement a different set of policy (vertical spill over).
Allocation of immigrant visas is not a policy matter. It is based on law. Any change should come thro law change. Congress (&president) has to amend the law (INA) how to modify the allocation. It is not a simple matter. Both DOS and USCIS knows it unfair to keep EB3-IN in 2001; but they can't do any thing. Thats whu EB3-IN folks should try hard to make the congress to change the law. Contacting DOS or USCIS not going to help, as they have no authoity in changing the allocation methods (they only execute the methods).

For that one of these two should happen. Eb3 should move forward and Eb2 should retrogress.
Or EB2 stays and EB3 alone moves forward.
Or EB3 stays and EB2 has to retrogress so much (to 2001)!
I guess chance for 1st and 2nd option are high. And, this would answer Ramba's question how EB3 for India would get approval for PD 2003. There are very few 2001 PDs left (per me). Relatively more 2002 and most of 2001 and 2002 are pending due to name check else they would have got their GC during July and USCIS would not have returned VISA numbers back to DOS nor some numbers would have finally got wasted (FY2007).
So next PD would be 2003 (and there are very few 2003 filings that were filed before June 2007).

I think we are not reaching all the ppl that we can as of yet. If we can setup booths in front of Indian Community centers in various cities, post flyers at Indian grocery stores etc, we would be able to reach a much wider audience. I think we might be reaching the maximum number of ppl that would contribute who are browsing this web site. No amount of requests would get non-contributers to contribute. So, probably the efforts should be concentrated on getting newer members from outside...
Yes this is definately a good idea and will help us reach many people unaware of IV. We represent about a million people stuck in retrogression and have only got 8500 of them.
Pls help us with these efforts by executing your ideas in your own state. Once you start, and tell others what you are doing I am sure many others will follow you. You will find posters and flyers in resources section of this website.

Well not exactly amitjoey. The problem is the people that are on H1 want a provision that would help them get on a path of permanent residency (not citizenship this time) without depending on the employer but most (not all) of IV members that have already filed for a GC seem more concerned about backlog clearance. This makes H1s like me wonder if a provision for baclog reduction is passed and backlog is cleared, how do we benefit? It does not mean that my employer is going to file a green card for me and at the same time, I still can not file for myself.
When we were running this campaign with a goal to reach 10,000 members most of us were hitting a wall with a lot of new people on H1.
It seemed like a lot of new people (newly on H1- ONLY 2-3 years on a H1) did not seem to care about the issues surrounding EB Visas and the employment based GC-MESS. They simply were too new and frankly had not filed their permanent labor or given a thought about it. They were/are naive about the steps involved, the complications and the number of years it will take w/retrogression.
With this new bill S1035 in debate restricting H1-Renewals and other such things, we can get a lot of these people's attention.
So lets reach out to these people again, and get them involved. We need a lot of strength in terms of number of members and sorry, the annoying other item that I am scared to talk about is more $$.

If, you have an approved EB3 and I-140 for a particular position from the same employer, and you file an EB-2 via PERM for the same employer, then there is a possibility of an audit and the first approved Lc on EB-3 rescinded. You, can however take your 5 years of experience and then file EB-2 for a different employer via PERM, provided your first employer does not withdraw your approved EB-3 I-140 petition. So my advise is get the best possible advice from the best lawyer and tread with caution.

GC is moving target, looks like some drunkard wakes up one fine morning and randomly moves the priority date value/importance. I know those in such situation may be relatively less in number but I know many who are and repurcussions for this look horrible for people who have not made past this luck test. I was one of the unlucky ones :(. good luck to guys who have moved forward hope you still help rest of us still stuck.

USCIS passed a rule that it will start giving 2 years EAD. Inspite of that, several people last year got 1 year EADs or worse, they would get EAD starts dates 2 to 3 months before the expiry of the first EAD just because they applied early..... basically they got a EAD for only 9 months!
I may be wrong, but I had different impression. If officer felt that GC can be given in one year they issued 1 year EAD, other wise 2 years EAD. When I got 2 years EAD, I was not happy about it.
But several things go wrong and people might not have got GC despite getting 1 year EAD. I feel that people getting 1 year EAD must have every thing ready, just waiting for their Visa Number.
