We have been living in a county which has implemented 287g for some time. And I believe all legal residents in my county feel safer because of its implementation. Sure, there is a chance that 287g can be misused by the police. But tell me one law which can not be misused by police.
The thing is that more counties are signing on to 287g. St. Mary's County Joins Controversial Federal Immigration Initiative - Southern Maryland Headline News (http://somd.com/news/headlines/2010/11667.shtml).
I went thru the proposal in Arizona and could not find even one point which might be bad for us. Did any of you find something? http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/49leg/2r/summary/h.sb1070_04-13-10_houseengrossed.doc.htm. I feel, IV should support such laws. We want the citizens and law abiding people in this country to support us; not the illegals.
If I were an immigrant in Arizona, I will be scared. What are businesses going to do without 'em?

How long is the USCIS taking to issue just receipt notices!!??
This makes you wonder if Anything in the USCIS is actually FIFO
There was time like that and people used to expect that. Now USCIS is like a black hole. Wait Wait and Wait.

willwin,
What you say sounds very selfish and narrow-minded.
When I made my first contribution to IV, I was stuck in BEC-hole and clearing out BEC was my top priority but not the top priority issue IVs list. I still believed in the big common goal and believed in the IV team.
You say that you don't see any benefit from IV's goals and so you wont contribute. IV's top priority is to bring relief through legislative solutions to retrogression. Can you tell me that eliminating retrogression will not benefit CP filers? If not, then what's the excuse of your bunch to not contribute?
If you still want to stick with the above "Oh it does not directly benefit me, a CP filer, because it does not massage my foot and make me feel good" rhetoric, then hey since I'm interested only in 485, I'd have to say that not a single cent of my contribution should go towards anything other than 485.
If every 485 filer were to get that selfish and said that, it would leave out this small pool of CP filer contributions (if any) which does not cover the costs of even arming up for your proposed cause. Now, where do you want to go from here?
BTW, it sounds like the CP filers are the ones who are frustrated - not the 485 filers.
Is it so? How many threads do you see from CP filers on this forum? Please direct me to those frustrations of CP filers. I couldn't see any. Tinku sent a note requesting IV core to add CP on agenda. Nothing more.
And, calling me selfish, I dont mind accepting it. I dont see anything wrong in being selfish for that's how the world is - including you and me! Don't paint yourself as a 'Mahatma'. You are contributing to IV because you are stuck in the GC queue and you 'believe' that IV would be of some assistance to you. That is being selfish.
If you had decided to continue on H1B and had not applied for GC but after seeing this forum where millions of your fellow countrymen or like-professionals suffering and you couldn't bear their sufferings and hence wrote a check to IV - you aren't selfish. But now you have just paid for a 'dutch' party!!! Nothing more my friend. You have taken a lift from a vehicle that is going to the destination that you wanted to. and you are sharing some expenses! I dont see any generosity in you.
And, before you jump on CP filers and accusing them for not contributing to IV, please jump on remaining 485 filers who are not contirbuting despite that they will be 'directly' benefiited by IV's efforts.
Else, there won't be 1000's of emails from Paskals and Chandus, needhelps saying only 2000 odd people have sent letters where there are over 20000 members. Are the remaining 18000 CP filers? lol.
And, BTW, I dont need a GC if that is off a penny that you spent. Keep it with you. And you know who is selfish.

... it is too late to link immigration with housing ..it did pick up some steam as shiller and others discussed it ,...
Shiller is smart but I think he is confusing the word 'Immigrant' with the word 'stupid'.
I am an immigrant and why should I buy an unaffordable over priced house which no American is willing to buy?

From my conversations with various attorneys - this was something that USCIS could do on its own, and had intended to do for a while. It is great news for a lot of people, me personally as well!
Is there any way to verify this and get comments from an immigration attorney?

Is there any update on three bills in house. I have checked the hearing schedule for all committees and there seems to be no hearing scheduled for any of these bills. House is in session till September 7 and after that District work period and convention shows, which leaves us with just 4 weeks from now and after that It reconvens from September 9 with target adjournment date of 26th september and i m pretty sure no congressional rep will like to cast vote on any bills before going into election....
Prospects seems bleak now... Is there anything we can do...any last attempt that is required? If so...Let us all know...

Full Disclosure.. I am an Indian
Very glad to see that these people have been caught by the law enforcement agents. These are the people who care candidates for EB1 category for greencards. As most of these join the fake IT bodyshops and show multinational executive experience on their resume. This is not the only university where you see people from Andhra Pradesh misusing law, there are many universities in the same business. I hope to see more enforement like this. I wish the USCIS and other related agencies crack down on the misuse of credential in the greencard process. Most of the IT people with fake experience and reporting structure should be punished for violating law and legitimate people with US education should get their right place in the waiting list.
My wife is on H4 visa and looking for opportunities. She gets calls from all these consultant who ask her to get on to F1 visa at some community college and then use CPT/OPT for working on their projects.....when i came to this country to study at a top ranked university, i thought F1 visa is for higher education...now it is used in community colleges. New learning everyday!!
Hope to see more crackdowns .....

why single out one guy, he is doing what is good for him. What do you expect if the even people registered on this site are not willing to do do something to help themselves. The attidude is i have EAD/AP i am free or I am EB1/2 its just a matter of time till i get the GC. Even the politicians are using us for their own agenda and to score political points.
Just to add to your description of indians, We have people like Bobby Jindal of indian origin who doesnt care about his own roots and his own people but would do anything for his own selfish political career.(Even change religon and change name). Shame on you Mr Jindal.

Canada is certainly an attractive option. Economy is booming in Canada right now but not so much in IT if that's the field you are in. You can do a job search on monster.ca to see what kind of opportunities are available.
Now the best thing about Canada is that you'll have more certainty in your life and you won't be stuck to one employer for years trying to get through GC log jam. While it may be acceptable for some, some of us may be getting to a tripping point and considering alternatives is becoming a necessity.
You can learn all about Canadian immigration at http://www.cic.gc.ca/ . It's so simple that even cave man can do it. You don't need a lawyer or anything. You can always hire one, however.
It is all based on point system and if you have been working in US, I don't think you should have any problem meeting the point system requirements.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT GUYS.
This country doesn't care about legal immigrants, all they care is about illegals and big businesses..Does anyone know how to go to Canada ? Please tell me ..please please...Or any other country other than India..doesnt matter even if it is Iraq..please tell me, I am tired of waiting for visa bulletins and putting my life on hold..please...
:-):-) Hehehehe folks..please continue from here, cant give more than this for now!!

This is not to oppose your message - I am just trying to figure out where these arguments comes from because I don't think I believe in this whole fraud thing. AC21 is meant for one to change jobs after working for the original sponsoring company for 180 days. Also, there are no clear guidelines stating that one must inform the USCIS - so what will this fraud be based on? How can one be committing fraud if there are no guidelines to tell you what is considered fraudulent? I think one is fraudulant when one actually violates some set rules etc. I don't think the USCIS can have a basis for suspecting someone of fraud when they don't even have a definition of what may constitute fraud in this case because of the lack of guidelines. Plus, I have never, ever heard of anyone be denied or suspected of anything like this during citizenship, I just don't believe this is a factor AT ALL. I see these comments a lot and they just don't make any sense to me. To me, it is like breaking a law that doesn't exist. And you say one may be "suspected", well, suspicion is just that, suspicion. The USCIS needs to show proof that you intended to be fraudulent and for as long as there are no AC21 guidelines that tell you that you must inform the USCIS upon invoking AC21, the USCIS will not and cannot have a case against you.
I agree with you. It's not required by law to file any AC21 papers so the USCIS cannot do much. Also, the green card cannot be revoked after 5 years so by the time you apply for citizenship, the USCIS cannot do anything bad to you. Worst case, they will ask about it during the citizenship interview so it's a good idea to keep your employment offer handy. But it's very unlikely and I really doubt they can deny your citizenship based on this. That's why I see no drawbacks in not filing AC21 and no benefits in filing it if you know that I-140 won't be withdrawn. My advice would be to take an employment letter from current employer and keep it in case the USCIS asks for it. There is no need to cause troubles for yourself by letting the USCIS know about it.

Hi,
I am joining new job using AC21 provision coming monday. My new employer does not provide medical insurance for the first month. I am eligible for after I complete 1 month.
So my question is: till the time I get medical coverage from new employer (approx. 20 - 30 days), can I invoke COBRA? I heard that one can not invoke COBRA if he or she is employed (only meant for un-employement) is this true?
Also, should I call my current insurance company for COBRA now, or I can wait if I really need to visit a doctor? is there a grace period for this? Because there is a possiblity that I may never would have to visit a doctor for next 20-30 days, but who knows!
Appreciate your answers.

The only thing seems to be happening is that they are transferring cases from NSC/TSC to CSC/VSC for EADs, APs and I-485s for data entry and EAD/AP approval.
CSC seems to be doing a great job at that (received EADs and APs in exactly 60 days). Once these are issues and the I-485 data is fed in, the I-485 jurisdiction is passed back to NSC/TSC (wherever your I-485 originated from).
I am still waiting on my I-140 approval (filed in March 2007)...hoping to get it by around end of year.

Everest Technology? Sounds so familiar, but definitely they are not in the list of blood suckers I dealt with.
There are thousands of bloodsuckers like this one, they know the Immigration law better than anybody else do, they will do anything to stop you from leaving their company.
BTW, you don�t need the copy of I-140 for using AC21 portability.
You might need a copy when you apply for a 3 years H1 extension, double check this with an attorney.
If I were you, I wouldn�t stick with this employer, I would definitely use AC21 after 180 days.
Good Luck!
