I have some good news and some bad news!
The bad news is that. You will get your green card in 5 years and after other five years you will get your citizenship. So in 10 years will be in position to get married.
Now , you will be wondering what is the good news.
Well!, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switiching to GEICO.:D

If any continuing recurring IV contributor (Donor member) gets a 1 year EAD/AP document, let IV know. We will try to help you get a 2 year document from USCIS.

IV has been doing a great job, we should all be proud of being a part of it.
I came across this post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10316).
I think we should keep fighting till our goal is met. Can IV core team shed some light whether recapturing the unused visa numbers is ever possible ? Even if there is slightest change, we should NOT GIVE UP and work towards it. I've read that USCIS have so far wasted upto 600,000 EB visa numbers.
Now we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for multi year EAD or EAD validity during the period of AOS(I-485). Should we roll up our sleeves and work for the recapture of unused visa numbers ? How to make this happen, Please share your thoughts and ideas.
LETS NOT STOP UNTIL WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE!
Agree. Recapturing unused visas (estimated to be around 218,000) is the single most important thing we should focus on. We should also keep pressure on USCIS through lobbying efforts to use up the available numbers for the current year. According to one estimate (posted somewhere on IV forums), USCIS will only use 80K visas this year.
So, what can we do?
Can we organize another rally?
Fast for a day in protest?

Swede, Thank you. We need more people like you.
And to think of it so many people who could come to the rally, who are struck in the logjam and should come to the rally, did not come. It is a shame!!
It goes to show that IV represents everyone and not just Indians or Chinese. I am proud of all the Brits and other Europeans who not only joined the fight but led it from the front.
I was the guy from Sweden. I agree with the Russian student.
The reason I was there was because my green card process was a painful and stressful experience for 5 years. And I was still one of the lucky ones! I don't want to put anyone through the same agony, not even my worst enemy. I really feel for the people still stuck in the mess.
I talked to a Polish guy who had been here 9 years fully legally and could not leave. He had not seen his family in 9 years and did not want to risk going back just in case they would not approve his H1B in his home country. They are very strict there it seems, because none of his family members or friends could not even get a tourist nor visit visa to see his graduation. Shocking!
I was glad I showed up at the rally just to hear all the peoples' stories.
Most people who did not show up probably think they are ok after applying the i485. They will join IV rallies, when they realize how wrong they are. People have applied for i485s years ago and still don't have a green card...
You are in trouble until you get your green card in your hand.

I think Gandhian philosophy only works in movies and books. Although this is very controversial and I might invite the wrath of many on this board - but hey I am entitled to my opinion :D - Peace

Question 13 .
Can I leave my sponsoring employer once I get my green card? TOP
One may switch employers during the I-485 process if (a) the I-485 has been pending for over 180 days and is not yet adjudicated and (b) the offer of new employment is in the same or similar job. While the USCIS may use the description of the job duties from the DOT or the O*NET to determine similarity in jobs, they have verbally agreed that they may be willing to consider a broader definition in the future. Besides job title and description, the salary from the new employer would at least need to satisfy concerns regarding the public charge provisions and should be as closed to the amount listed on the labor certification as possible.
Clearly, the law before AC21 was passed in October 2000 required that a person continue working with the employer that sponsored the green card for at least 6 months to 1 year after obtaining the green card. Although AC21 allows the changing of employers if the I-485 is not adjudicated within 180 days, there is no change in the law with respect to the intention of the employer to offer and the employee to undertake "permanent," full-time work with the sponsoring employer for the job advertised. Keep in mind that a green card job offer is legally considered a future job offer. Therefore, the employee must have a good-faith intention to work for the employer after the green card is approved, and the employer must have a good-faith intention to employ the employee after the green card is approved. Even if one worked for the sponsoring employer for several years while pursuing the green card process, that would not count as future intent. Generally, 6 months to 1 year after obtaining the green card is a safe time period to change employment. Failure to stay at the sponsoring employer may result in problems at the naturalization stage!

See below for Frist's ( Rep. Senate leader) comment:
Frist said the Senate will send 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats to negotiate with the House, with seven of the Republicans and five Democrats coming from the Judiciary Committee. The remaining seven Republicans will be chosen by Frist and remaining seven Democrats chosen by Reid.
At least one oppoenent of the compromise measure, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, will be among the remaining seven Republicans appointed to the committee, spokesman Don Stewart said.

Think that the Democrats and Republicans in Congress will never be able to agree about immigration policy? Better think again! When I started working as an immigration attorney, Jerry Ford was the President of the United States. Over the past 35 years, I have seen the two parties unite to pass dozens of immigration laws. Yes, I know the parties are so divided on the issue of what to do about the 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. that they couldn't even get together a few weeks ago to pass the DREAM Act. However, when it comes to reforming...

You can file as many I-140's in any category (EB2/EB3/NIW) as long as you have a certified labor for a bona fide position with a matching education and company has ability to pay for those positions. These I-140's can come from one company or different ones it doesn't matter.
In your current situation:
1. Don't even think about doing anything with pending I-140 and AOS. There is a definite delay in I-140 approvals at both NSC/TSC so waiting is the best thing to do. As long as your qualification matches the LC description you will get your I-140 approved. If your I-140 is pending 30 days past the processing time and you haven't received an RFE, it might have been stuck in security check. Your lawyer needs to open a service request to find out what is going on.
2. For the labor that is expiring in Jan, go ahead and file an I-140 petition right now, there is nothing to worry about two I-140. If nothing else this petition can be used for 3 year H1B extension in case the first one gets stuck.
3. The second I-140 that you are filing can't be used for your pending AOS if your priority date is not current. Check the Pearson Interfiling memo ( from link below). If your priority dates are current and will remain current (EB2 ROW) file for an new AOS application when your second I-140 gets approved. If by this time your first I-140 is approved you can simply toss the second I-140 in the office shredder.
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2c.pdf
Thanks for your responses guys. Now I understand that once I withdraw my old I-140, my I-485 is gone.
Reg my question 2, I know that people file 1 in EB3 and second in EB2. Or after one is approved file another one with earlier PD LC. But, is it possible to apply for second I-140 in the same category (EB3) when another one is already pending? Have any one done this before?. Could you guys point me to some links?
I asked this question to my lawyer. No response yet. I would really appreciate your response.

Dear <newschannel /congress/senator/legislator name here>,
While the coverage that we "potential" legal immigrants received during the CIR debate was abysmal because we were not considered "human interest" pieces by journalists and editors. We have been subjected to another slap in the face by a broken immigration system.
Please see:
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22804
"Administration Slams Door on Thousands of Legal Immigrants: AILA Condemns Agencies' Bait and Switch
Cite as "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 07070264""
This news has so far only got brief coverage in a few websites. Among them include:-
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070703/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/immigration_green_cards
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1152AP_Immigration_Green_Cards.html
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&ncl=1117797588
We hope that this press release is sufficient to now categorize us as a human interest piece. It is ironic that those crossing the borders illegally get front page coverage, while the tens of thousands of us going through the legal channels get ignored. Many of us have spent hundreds of dollars and wasted time, effort and money, only to be rudely slapped in the face by this visa bulletin revision. Any coverage will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Olny thing is this time my I-140 is approved and I have disclosed that info in my application. I am hoping that nothing will go wrong. PM me if you want feedback after my interview.
Well ...I know a friend who was asked bu consulate to provide the proof that he has a labor pending...So they already know your immigrant intent..and they have accepted it...So your I-140 info should not be a problem...

LOOK WHERE OUR MONEY IS GOING????
Top Five
1. India ---- $1,456 billion
2. Russia ---$ 470 billion
3. UK -------$390 billion
4. Ukraine - $100 billion
5. China -----$ 96 billion
Shame on the Indians who hoard all that public money in some foreign land and making those countries rich. When would the stupid @#$@# @$%#$ politicians and bureaucrats learn that, when they die (and I hope they all die soon) they could not take it with them to Hell.
We have no guts to fight the terrorism coming from across the border and spent too little on defense, education, sanitation and infrastructure and even today India still looks like the same country that was there before 1947. Nothing significantly changed in terms of literacy or cleanliness or standard of living of majority of individuals.
I still have a hope that one day a daring and honest person would hold the PM office and clean up the mess.

Hello Zen,
Good question...I don't know, but it seems like the FP are valid for about 1.5 years....no idea about medical records validity.
Hello bsbawa10,
I think the process is designed for 'non-backlogged' processing which normally does not extend beyond a few months...you are right, maybe, we should have a different validity in the current situation with long backlogs.

I got an RFE for I-131 for both myself and my wife. They have asked for absolutely everything (I-485 receipt, I-140 approval, I-94s, I-797s, marriage certificate, Passport copies etc). As my lawyer said "they have thrown the kitchen sink at you".
I dont even know why - but the amount of documentation they have asked for seems absurd just to issue a travel document.
BTW - my EAD from the sample application was approved!

Anyone thinking that recession is confined to a specific industry or geography needs to do a reality check. I am not saying we are in recession or we will be in one soon. I will leave that to forecasters. But core to all the down markets/recession/bear market is consumer confidence and inflation. Now what we are seeing in Finance industry could trickle down to tech in a quarter or two, simply because Financial sector spends big on tech and downturn in any specific industry erodes consumer confidence.
In 2001 it started with tech but financial and other sectors also took a big hit (take a look at the layoff figures from tristate area). The reason then and now as has always been was consumer confidence. In 2001, tech downturn and stock market correction eroded consumer confidence. As they say we can actually talk ourselves into recession by simply feeling depressed about economy and hence directly affecting consumer confidence.
As far as layoffs go, during 2000/2001 a large chunk of people left the industry (tech/telecom) never to come back again. Some of them remain unemployed/underemployed some moved to Real estate. Each down turn systematically purges bottom 20-30% who never get employed at the same level. Generally the most vulnerable ones are older workers or fresh college graduates.

As far as layoffs go, during 2000/2001 a large chunk of people left the industry (tech/telecom) never to come back again. Some of them remain unemployed/underemployed some moved to Real estate. Each down turn systematically purges bottom 20-30% who never get employed at the same level. Generally the most vulnerable ones are older workers or fresh college graduates.

The elimination of NC delays will reflect positively on many pending applications with earlier PDs.
One other such positive result can come by capturing lost Visa numbers, something that can potentially happen through the letter campaign. Let us hope it goes as planned.
Good point, new folks please note, one of the main reliefs IV is campaigning for with the letter effort is the release of the unused visa numbers. When you have time, please gather a few more letters signed by friends and colleagues. We need to push for this campaign to truly have an effect. Now is our chance!! :) Thanks!
