u mean the old Passport ? Yes, my old one was issued in India (vizag).
renewal applied by mail to CG SFO, got the new one to my mailing address in US, on the fifth day.
the 10 days estimate they are giving might be including the buffer time for contingencies and
contacting vizag might be the worst case scenario they are telling, but most probably not needed.
i later learned that, u can renew ur PP in India in 3 days, with Tatkal.
Thanks a lot..u give me hope...was a little worried after the counter lady said it might take time, seeing visakhapatnam..ie in case they dont get a response...
My passport was issued in the yr 2000...so was not sure if the records wud be available online..wat abt urs?
Thanks once again...

There should be a balance. H-1B should not be misused. It should not be misused by Big Consulting Firms. It should not misused by implementing Grassley bill. Both are bad.

you seem to be correct ....
i just looked at the amendments in detail and this provision was in SA 180.
I am a bit unsure though of what happened to SA 180. Did it get amended by some other amendment. It does not appear to have been tabled. I apologize to everyone but I had stated right in the beginning that I may be totally wrong.
TITLE VI--FAMILY UNITY AND BACKLOG REDUCTION
Sec..1601..Elimination of existing backlogs.
Sec..1602..Country limits.
Sec..1603..Allocation of immigrant visas.
Sec..1604..Relief for children and widows.
Sec..1605..Amending the affidavit of support requirements.
Sec..1606..Discretionary authority.
Sec..1607..Family unity.

IV had brought in hundreds of T - shirts to hand out. We were giving them out to everyone with a request to contribute on the web site. When we were out,
one of our volunteers, Kaushal, I think (don't know iv handle), he took out his own IV tshirt and gave it away!!
Another thing, I want to thank all the volunteer(s) who were asked to stay back to take care of the origin point and couldn't march in the rally.

Wow! Lots of advices and opinions. Meanwhile the housing slump is expected to continue well into 2010. I remember many people on this board challenging me last year 'how do you know it will go down', despite me posting the supporting data and the trend. It has gone down and will keep going down until it becomes cheap/affordable. Maybe 2000 price levels?

I feel moving VISA dates, EAD renewal and $$$ is linked.
By moving spillover till last quater..many (2007 filers**) are due for EAD renewal
If they had moved the dates, guys would have got GC and USCIS lose income from EAD and AP
** in particular EB2-I

I have e-filed my EAD application on 3/27. Received receipts on 4/2 from NSC. But I still haven't got the Biometrics appointment. Did any one who e-filed got Biometrics appointment?
Last time I e-filed I got the Biometrics appointment letter in 10 days after filing. Are they sending them out now or using the previous ones?
Don't know what is going on after the new filing location changes. I saw a LUD on 4/13 after I sent my supporting documents.
Thank you.

Movement on immigration stalled
Thursday, June 15, 2006, 10:56 AM
by Jason Vance
House Speaker Dennis Hastert is backing away from statements made earlier this week suggesting a plan to hold hearings on the Senate�s version of the immigration reform bill.
According to Congressional Quarterly, Hastert says he'll look at that issue, but the first priority is spreading the leadership's message about the Iraq war. Hastert has said he wants to take a long look at the Senate's legislation before naming House conferees.
There are some big differences the conference committee will have to reconcile. The Senate's bill provides a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already in the country, and includes a guest-worker program. Neither is included in the House version, which focuses on tightening border security.

If I can ask a few dumb questions:) (I might have overlooked this but these details, but this thread is huge now). When is the hearing? Who is conducting is? Is IV core involved?
How can other members here help apart from posting to this thread and $ contributions?
thx
It was not a hearing, just a meeting with some of the people I worked with over the past year on the stimulus issue.
Anyway, I went to the meeting and presented the issues raised by people here and emphasized that the first priority is recapture. Of course I raised the other issues as well, presenting the argument that America will lose its competitive edge if its highly skilled immigrants return to their home countries or other more welcoming countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia.
One person at the meeting was skeptical that many people have been waiting more than 10 years, saying that she has never come across anyone waiting more than 6 years and that these must be special cases where the people were doing something wrong. Anyway, I presented the stories people sent me, but when I raised the issue of granting a fast track to people waiting for more than 10 years, she said that there must be a good reason for it. They need to look at each person on a case by case basis and that a fast track would not be the proper way to resolve these issues. There was a lot of resistance from this person on several issues with the only wholehearted agreement on the issue of getting visas stamped in the US.
In short, I didn't get a sense that much would come of the meeting, but at least I had a chance to present the issues and I was given an assurance that they would be looked into further and discussed at some upcoming meetings. Finally, I said that the best way for them to understand the issues faced by immigrants is to be in contact with immigrants. I also suggested they join the IV discussions to get first hand accounts.
One recommendation they had was than anyone who has been waiting for an unreasonable time for their applications to be processed should contact their congressman/congresswoman with information about their specific cases.

We had our fun while driving - we had a new IV member, Naveen's friend a doctor who just came from India a month back and trying for residency. His name is Arun.
Now Mr Arun missed Indian food as he does not get it where he lives and was kinda home sick. We stopped over in the Edison area and packed some junk food.
Our friend Arun was delighted by eating Egg Bajji, Samosa, Jilebi - ONE MUST SEE HOW HIS FACE LIT UP - HE BECAME PROUD OF IV JUST AT THAT INSTANCE AND WAS ONE OF THE MOST ENERGETIC RALLIER

Let me start saying that I am not 'stats guru' either.
My simple way of looking at it is the way it happened in June-July 2007. Why did they open the gates? To use up the VISA numbers for the FY.
What can they do to do the same this year? Open it again (may not make it current but to the extent they can use 140000 by Sep 30 2008).
As most 485 applications will notbe processed for another 6-9 months (among Jun-Aug filers), dates will move forward (may become current as well) and whoever has their 485, name check processed will get their GC besides all pending at CP.
They definitely do not have 140000 processed, name-check-completed 485 applications at hand. Hence dates will move.
I dont think the dates will become current anytime soon (we are talking years now) reason being... they have more information now then had earlier this year (they now know exactly how many and what year PD's)...

What is the advantage of claiming trader status on your tax return? I buy / sell shares on different days of the week (example: Buy on Monday, Sell on Friday). Does that make me a day trader?
I am doing this on H1B. I do have approved EAD.
Why do you want Trader status "H1B EAD is good enough ;)"

I do not know if I am doing something against the rules of this forum, please excuse if I am. I am just a father trying to do something to protect his daughter; but I know that there are many other children who are or were under similar circunstances. I am not a lawyer. My wife, my daughter and I went to talk to our Representative Moran and our Senator Webb, but they are interested in numbers, cases, especially Virginia residents; but I think that this is something national. We (my family, I and anyone who wants to join us) can go to the office of the Leader of the Senate Majority or the House or to the office of any other committe leader and give them a letter showing numbers and cases, real families that are suffering and requiring them to do something about it. If you agree, I would suggest to prepare a small database with all the cases that we know, then prepare a letter and send it to the Congress leaders.
I think that we would need the following information:
1. Your Contact Information: (Email at least; First, Last Name and Phone Number ideally)
2. State Where You Live
3. Your Employment-Based Category (EB1, EB2, EB3, Other Worker, EB4, EB5)
4. Your Country of Origin (CHINA-mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, PHILIPPINES or OTHER)
5. Your Child's Date of Birth
6. Your Case Priority Date
7. Date Visa was available
8. Date DOL approved your Labor Certification
9. Date I-140 was sent
10. Date I-140 was approved
11. Anything Else You may Want to Add: (like current status of your case)
Please let me know if that is ok for you, we can use this forum to collect the info or I can provide my email account or phone number, either way is ok for me. Thanks for your understanding.
