As I said earlier, i don't know how to add more options to this poll. If you know then tell me the options and I will add more options for EB3-I till date or may be for future dates if you like that.

An alert reader sent me the following this morning. Miriam Jordan of the WSJ is reporting


do you know for sure? NO, then please close thread, its just a speculation and title is misleading.

I understand this topic has been discussed ad nauseam, so I'm not raising this issue per se. I do not know where we stand on the likelihood of this provision getting passed by Feb 15th, but I do know that the Core group must be trying their best to get some provisions along these lines.

But just in case the "AOS without current PD" is seen as too big a change by the law makers or its sponsors in the undustry, I think it might be worthwhile to consider some of its watered-down alternatives. The law makers themselves may have a perception of this provision "creating a log jam at the AOS stage", not unlike the (mis)perception of some of IV members themselves!

Some alternatives are:
(a) Ability to file I-485 if the I-140 has been approved for X years, or if the I-140 has been pending for Y years (this is similar the provision of the ability to file H1 extensions beyond 6 years if a labor is pending). The advantage of this provision is that this will sound familiar with an already existing law; and will let the floodgates to AOS slowly and in a more controlled manner.

(b) Ability to file I-485 if the PD is within N years of the published PD in the Visa Bulletin. For example, assuming N = 2 years, India EB3 with PD 5/11/03 and India EB2 01/08/05 can file. Again this has the advantage of a more controlled entry via the Visa Bulletin, but at least it'll start clearing the queue and people can get their EAD, FBI name check, while waiting for the visa numbers to be available.

(c) If an Labor has been approved for X years
(d) If the alien has been on H1 for Y years
or a combination of any of the above

Please understand that I whole heartedly support the "AOS without current PD" provision; it's just that it would be wise to be ready with some alternatives should the need arise.


Why are you making it more complicated. People here want to get things done faster and relief for everyone.
According to your statement .(New formulas). people with I-140 approved for x years can file I-485 and so on......

If we are fighting for something nice, why not fight and say that we need everyone to be able to file I-485 like it was earlier. Reducing jam in USCIS is not a simple issue.By decreasing the number of I-485 filing the amount of time cannot be accuratly estimated that would take it to clear a case. USCIS can increase filling fees which they are thinking of doing to handle the current log jam they have, so I think we stick to and follow IV core.

Your post resembles one of those ads with deceptive fine print! Do you work for an advertising company by any chance?

People providing all the red dot's........don't be so uptight or high strung. Don't you see the GCK's hidden talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

:cool:

When will the next month dates come out ???

Please go through this (http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5192)and reanalyze if you really want to go to H1 from EAD ....

The reason we want to maintain is to get the spouse to USA on H4. I am not sure if there is other ways of bringing the spouse to USA while on EAD/AOS

Is this not a good reason to be on H1?

The link really doesn't say anything about this situation.

:)Wow.. That sounds like a plan..:D:D:D.. What about contacting Lalu...

[QUOTE=kumarc123;195464]Hello all IV members,

Lastly i feel, we should contact some high profile politicians in India, so they can put a question or make some time of arrangement for Indians who are stuck over here, we all know unites states is interested in nuclear deal, if some type of provision is put in there to help Indians in this country

Take my word, your case will be approved soon. I had the same wording when my I-140 application was transferred fro CSC to TSC and I received the approval notice in one month. Relax.

My I-140 case status (NSE) used to say 150-180 days, now no more time line words in the status. Just they say they will notify you when decision is made, I thought that was because I 140 premium is coming soon, they changed the wording.

I thought contribution to IV would be a better Idea than flowers, sweets etc. A thankyou card in additon to contribution is even better :-)

Congratulations my cuban friends!

You no longer have to wait in this friggin' green card line

Perhaps the most important measure is the decision to parole into the United States thousands more Cubans with close relatives here, thus reducing a backlog in family-based immigrant visas. While Homeland Security did not say how big the backlog is, it's said to be in the thousands.

Dream on. I have been trying it since inception but have never won. Well, that's why it's called a lottery.

Yep! Hey who knows? This might be your year too! :D

A wonderful initiative. Good luck, once the group grows, plan for seminars, workshops, involve more IV members and energize our community

alright guys it look like this battle is dead... should we close the thing and put it in completed battles or u guys want to keep it up a while longer?

No issues for me when I came back on H1B on 4/20/2009.

I had a H1B stamped on my passport from my previous employer and I was carrying new H1B approval notice from my current employer. I got I-94 till the validity of my new H1B approval from my current employer.

No issues whatsoever, no question asked and it was smooth sail.

You can change the address of you I-485 application online at

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa

I have done this when i moved at the end of May. I also recieved a confirmation mail that the address on my application has changed.

Hope that helps!


Along with changing your address online for I-485, it would be a good idea to send an AR-11 form and also call them and confirm all is well.

I am new to cnsulting jobs and was wondering if anyone can elaborate on what these terms mean ..

Contract - Corp-to-Corp ?
Contract - W2 ?
Contract to Hire - Independent ?
Contract to Hire - W2 ?

Application received by NSC on July 19. Called USCIS yesterday 10/09/07 - still nothing in the system. I'll call again in a week.

Well done team IV! BTW has IV already published this email to newspapers? IIRC a free site like PRNEWSWIRE will also help :-)

PR Newswire is AWESOME!

check this link for NJ DMV

http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/

then select renew license renew which has a page for you to select the
6 point id verification. I looked and it has EAD as one of the documents. I would print each page with your selection and take it with you
I assume you do not have a valid I-94.
Also call your state DMV and confirm what documents are sufficient.
hope this helps.

What if no birth certificate was available and we had submitted a non-availability certificate...will that lead into a RFE?

Thanks everyone for your offers to help. The more volunteers the better, since it will decrease the number of phone calls for each person to make.

Please remember to send contact info (email address) to either gsc999 or myself

well, he is talking only about the backlog processing centers...so..there are no i-140s backlogged in the BPC because.......there are hundreds of thousands of labor certifications that need to be cleared first..only after which they can apply for i-140! Like I said, he is focusing on the positive, which is a good thing..Someone else (erroneously) said that the department of labor and the backlog processing centers are 2 different entitities..however, I'd like to point out that, the job of clearing the labor certs has been transferred over from the state workforce agencies to the backlog processing centers..so, ignoring that, and saying there is no i-140 backlog is just focusing on the good news..
