Everybody here is on common grounds. We are all in this forum to help each other with only one objective: to obtain our green cards. There is no need to make assumptions to make each other feel bad. With all we have to go through with the retrogressions and whatever comes with it, this is the last thing we need. AND...No, sorry to disappoint you but I am not in the country illegally and I don't intend to commit fraud... is that clear?????????
I am not trying to make you feel bad. I am just cynical about the new "amnesty" program that is being proposed. Someone who has been here illegally gets priority over someone who has been here legally for a longer time!

Big companies like TCS cannot split or start another company as everything is associated with Brand name and other stock market regulations. They will be forced to hire citizens/GC holders with H1bs if this bill is passed in same form. USCIS will take care of small Indian bodyshoppers by RFE and asking client letters etc if they start multiple companies. Of course there will be loopholes our Indian companies will find in any law but still it will clean up H1b and L1 atleast for some extent.
I agree. Sometime back when I was actively looking for jobs, Infosys was hiring local candidates which means EAD, GC and Citizens trying to augment their workforce with local candidates. As I was on EAD they asked me to come for interview. The salary level they were willing to offier is so low that it will just never work out and I did not even go forward.
If these companies want to hire local candidates -they cannot treat them like they treat h1 or l1 holders - it is going to be interesting.
On one side they need to be in business and on other side they HAVE to hire locals which means lesser profits.

Hello Pappu,
I feel we should have some banners up in different Indian stores, specially targeting some selfish EAD holders, who already feel they got their green cards irrespective of the current visa bulletin
1. Setting up banners will not only attract new members, but will make these EAD holders think from a rational perspective.
2.Also IV administration should send out a personal email to all it members, informing them about the importance of coming together, this way the EAD members who have stopped coming to IV will get the message.
3. We should contact the Indian newspaper editors, to print about our rally on March1st 2009, I believe more awareness we spread a better result we get.
Thank you
Some ideas are good. In order to implement them, we need support from members. Pls volunteer and take up the ideas to lead them. For example I have mentioned about poster and banner campaign. If each one of us, prints them and post them in various places, we can get good publicity.
We have to make do with such low cost volunteer work. Someone pointed out that we should contact newspapers and get articles published. Wish it was so easy. We have written tons of mails but that alone does not work. You need to issue press releases and publish them online. Publishing them each online costs a couple hundred dollars by publishing services who distribute, and there is no guarantee it will be picked up. Thus you need a focussed campaign for it. There are services where you can contact reporters and media on a specific topic and send them email, press release directly. If they are already writing article you can know the deadline. If you have an idea, you can pitch a story idea to the reporter directly. A good service I know costs 5K for non profits for one year. If you need access to International reporters database add 2k to it. All this is possible only if we have these kinds of resources. When we can hardly get contributions of 5k in 4 months after collecting $5 each, it is tough to plan a big media campaign. The reason why other big organizations and big anti immigrant orgs can get so much publicity is that they probably can spend their huge resources on such services. They can also afford a full time staff. We do not have all that and run IV along with our full time day time jobs. So the first thing we need to do before we run any campaign is to get more members and more contributions and monthly signups. Without that ideas may only remain on the forums.

Look around you will see.... not everybody is the same.
I personally know many who had been "working in H1B" for more than 14 years.
Not everybody gives more weightage for their "immigration plan" than some personal and career interests. If you are really truthful to USCIS about your intentions, and you keep doing what you want to do with your career and life, it is in-fact very possible that you will be found without a GC even after 10 years working in USA, if your are from India.
An approved I-140 doesnt make you "automatically" qualified for an I-485. You dont file 485, if you dont "intent" to continue with that specific employment, even after I-140 approval.
7Years???? No..... you can extend your H1 beyond 6 years as many times as you want if you meet some conditions as per AC21. So it is possible for you to be in H1B for 100 years.
10years tax payed???? Yes because of the other reasons I mentioned. Also I know many who are still in que after 14 years paying taxes.
.......... but for
#3) condition "if they have paid the tax continously for 10 years", I wonder how can this
happen unless the foreign student who has worked in US for 10 years. I heard H-1b
workers maximum have 6 years plus 1 year extra for extension total add up to 7 years.
So how can have 10 years tax paid????
3) For #1) condition," If they are legally here for 10 years (With approved I-140 and
waiting for Adjustment of Status without current date)",
I wonder whether only students with years of US working experience (which means
years in full time study plus years of working experience) up to 10 years is counted
towards this legal stay for 10 years.
So how about students who have years of working experience (which means years in full time study plus years of working experience up
to 10 years but
without GC waiting due to lack of employers' file for GC sponsorship due to some
unknown reasons??????
or some foreign students who have stayed in US for 10 years for full time study such
as 4-yr bachelor degree plus 6-yr Ph.D or two Master degree (MS & MBA) or other
degree combinations but they have both social security card and drivers' license as US
ID but without employers' sponsorship due to certain reasons?????
Would you please tell me more details about your idea????? Thanks a lot for your attention and help!!

One idea is to give GC to AOS applicants regardless of namecheck result, if all
other security checks are OK and let the namecheck run in background . If the namecheck turns out critical , cancel the GC & deport the applicant.
But USCIS and lawyers will loose big time , because of reduced demand for APs,EADs etc.
This is exactly as Congress intended it to be. There is no mandatory requirement to complete NC before GC can be issued in the INA. There is a provision to cancel GC in the INA.

Knowing the fact that so many applicants have been waiting for YEARSSSS and USCIS not doing anything about makes me sick just thinking about it. How can agency be so ignorant and continue to make thousands of people live in dark black hole for years? Has anyone heard about the new plans or action taken by either agency to reduce the backlog. According to what ombudsman said on july 20 2007 teleconference USCIS will dramatically reduce the backlog for people waiting 33 months or longer in immediate future, apparently it has been 4 months and nothing seems to have been moved yet.

JUAN GONZALEZ: �because I�ve been very concerned about the lack of historical understanding of the immigration battles in our country, going back to the Irish in the 1840s. Father Joseph Fitzpatrick, who was a wonderful sociologist of Fordham University, once did a study of the criminal populations in New York City in 1859, concluded that 83% of all the criminal convictions in 1859 in New York City were Irish�were Irish, not Canadian, Scotch, English or Germans or the other bulk of the population in New York at the time, but were Irish, right? Henry McLaughlin, the�
LOU DOBBS: What in the world is your point?
JUAN GONZALEZ: Well, I�m getting to my point, but give me the time to do it. We have time on this show, unlike�we don�t do soundbites here, alright?
LOU DOBBS: No, and you certainly don�t do representative journalism, either.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Henry McLaughlin, Lou, was the guy who was the main consultant to the US Congress in developing the immigration restriction laws of the 1920s, a eugenicist who, interestingly enough, examined the facts�high crime rates among the immigrant population in the 1920s. Tuberculosis, disease, drunkenness�and these were the reasons�his studies of the population of the immigrant population were the basis upon which Congress decided on its restrictive laws to limit the number of southern Europeans, of Jews and of other nationalities that were coming into the country at the time. My point is that the issue of crime and the issue of disease has always been attempted by those who want to restrict immigration, right? But identifying�
LOU DOBBS: Juan, you�re smarter than this. I mean�
JUAN GONZALEZ: �with the immigrant population coming into the country.
LOU DOBBS: You�re smarter than this. You�re better than this.
JUAN GONZALEZ: You know, you�re doing the same thing that Henry�
LOU DOBBS: No, I�m�
JUAN GONZALEZ: �McLaughlin did in the 1920s�
LOU DOBBS: Oh, you�re�
JUAN GONZALEZ: �and the same thing that was done against the Irish�
LOU DOBBS: Juan, if you believe that�
JUAN GONZALEZ: �in the 1850s.
LOU DOBBS: If you believe that, you should look into that camera and say you apologize for trying to mislead people purposefully. The reality is this. Have you ever once heard me say anything other than I have the greatest respect for illegal immigrants in this country? Illegal immigrants. Forget immigrants, illegal immigrants. Have you ever heard me say anything other than that? Have you ever heard me say anything other than, I believe that the illegal alien in this entire mess is the only rational actor? Have you ever heard me say that? Have you ever read the transcripts of my broadcasts? Do you have any�
JUAN GONZALEZ: Yes, I�ve read quite a few of your transcripts. Not all of them, I have to confess. I work with�
LOU DOBBS: Would you like to tell me? Have you ever heard me say anything other than that? Have you ever heard me say that I want to have immigration restricted? I mean, my god, man, do you have any�any�sense of fidelity to the reality?
JUAN GONZALEZ: Yes, I do. And the reality is�
LOU DOBBS: How in the world can you use my name and �anti-immigrant� in the same breath?
AMY GOODMAN: When we hear comments like�
LOU DOBBS: You hear�
AMY GOODMAN: �a third of the�from you�we�ve played them, so we can�t refute the videotape, Lou.
LOU DOBBS: Have you looked, Amy�
AMY GOODMAN: We can�t refute�a third of prisoners are�
LOU DOBBS: Yes. And we discussed that?
AMY GOODMAN: �are illegal immigrants�
LOU DOBBS: Have we discussed it?
AMY GOODMAN: No, a third of prisoners are illegal immigrants, not true. 7,000 leprosy cases in the last three years because of illegal immigrants�
LOU DOBBS: Christine Romans misspoke�
AMY GOODMAN: �not true.
LOU DOBBS: �we said that. And that�s as straightforward as we can put it.
AMY GOODMAN: And you made an announcement on your show�
LOU DOBBS: Absolutely.
AMY GOODMAN: �and you will say it here�
LOU DOBBS: Absolutely.
AMY GOODMAN: �that it is not true. Illegal immigrants are not responsible for 7,000 cases of leprosy over last three years.
LOU DOBBS: Not over the last three years. But the likelihood is that illegal immigrants are responsible, because they are the ones who brought Hansen�s disease�
AMY GOODMAN: �The likelihood��based on what, Lou?
LOU DOBBS: Based on doctors at the Hansen Center,�
AMY GOODMAN: No.
LOU DOBBS: �who said that�listen to me. Hansen�s�I mean, if you guys�you guys are just ridiculous in your loss of proportion here. You�re talking about one report. But if you want to talk about it, tuberculosis and Hansen�s disease are both screened, and they are so similar in the symptoms and their presentation that doctors look for that in the screening. Without question.
AMY GOODMAN: But as you agree now, you�re formally apologizing for having a presentation on your show�
LOU DOBBS: I already have.
AMY GOODMAN: �and then backing it up.
LOU DOBBS: Wait, wait, wait.
AMY GOODMAN: Again, this is not just one show.
LOU DOBBS: Referring to three years, OK?
AMY GOODMAN: So you�re saying that illegal immigrants have caused 7,000 cases of leprosy�
LOU DOBBS: No.
AMY GOODMAN: �over thirty years?
LOU DOBBS: I�m saying the likelihood is that those cases of Hansen�s disease are, according to the doctors at the Hansen Center, most likely as a result of illegal immigration, because they�re not being screened.
AMY GOODMAN: You know the fear�
LOU DOBBS: But why contain this?
AMY GOODMAN: Well, the reason�
LOU DOBBS: How about tuberculosis?
AMY GOODMAN: Let me make a point.
LOU DOBBS: Does that concern you?
AMY GOODMAN: Let me just say something. Let me just say something.
LOU DOBBS: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: The reason we�re raising these issues is not any one particular case, though I think facts matter�
LOU DOBBS: You�re giving more focus to this issue�
AMY GOODMAN: �because�
LOU DOBBS: We put one report, eight seconds, and you are giving an entire broadcast to this.
AMY GOODMAN: No. It is well more than eight seconds. But I want to make a point here. Even when you were called on it by 60 Minutes�they played a clip�you came back the next day�
LOU DOBBS: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: �and you continued this fallacy. But the issue is, we�re raising different issues in different spheres of American life�prisons, disease�and in each of these cases, what many people are concerned about what you�re doing, because there is no question, Lou Dobbs, you are extremely influential in this country. You are a key part of driving the debate on immigration.
LOU DOBBS: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: And so, I think it is important to be accurate�
LOU DOBBS: Oh, I do, too.
AMY GOODMAN: �to start there.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Yeah, but I think we should�
LOU DOBBS: Have you ever made a mistake on this broadcast, Amy?
AMY GOODMAN: Yes.
LOU DOBBS: How many, would you say?
AMY GOODMAN: I would say that each time it�s pointed out, we try to apologize for it.
LOU DOBBS: So do we.
AMY GOODMAN: And we try to correct the record.
LOU DOBBS: And the issue is, for me, the 7,000 cases�as soon as I understood the issue was the three years versus thirty years�I mean, to me it was a�
AMY GOODMAN: That�s not minor.
LOU DOBBS: To me, it frankly was of no interest. The issue was 7,000 cases on the registry of Hansen�s. That was the issue I was responding to when I understood fully the three-year thing. I mean, to me, the idea was whether the registry had been brought up to date or not. No one in their right mind thought that�you know, a year, or whatever, that a thousand cases had been created.

LOU DOBBS: Juan, you�re smarter than this. I mean�
JUAN GONZALEZ: �with the immigrant population coming into the country.
LOU DOBBS: You�re smarter than this. You�re better than this.
JUAN GONZALEZ: You know, you�re doing the same thing that Henry�
LOU DOBBS: No, I�m�
JUAN GONZALEZ: �McLaughlin did in the 1920s�
LOU DOBBS: Oh, you�re�
JUAN GONZALEZ: �and the same thing that was done against the Irish�
LOU DOBBS: Juan, if you believe that�
JUAN GONZALEZ: �in the 1850s.
LOU DOBBS: If you believe that, you should look into that camera and say you apologize for trying to mislead people purposefully. The reality is this. Have you ever once heard me say anything other than I have the greatest respect for illegal immigrants in this country? Illegal immigrants. Forget immigrants, illegal immigrants. Have you ever heard me say anything other than that? Have you ever heard me say anything other than, I believe that the illegal alien in this entire mess is the only rational actor? Have you ever heard me say that? Have you ever read the transcripts of my broadcasts? Do you have any�
JUAN GONZALEZ: Yes, I�ve read quite a few of your transcripts. Not all of them, I have to confess. I work with�
LOU DOBBS: Would you like to tell me? Have you ever heard me say anything other than that? Have you ever heard me say that I want to have immigration restricted? I mean, my god, man, do you have any�any�sense of fidelity to the reality?
JUAN GONZALEZ: Yes, I do. And the reality is�
LOU DOBBS: How in the world can you use my name and �anti-immigrant� in the same breath?
AMY GOODMAN: When we hear comments like�
LOU DOBBS: You hear�
AMY GOODMAN: �a third of the�from you�we�ve played them, so we can�t refute the videotape, Lou.
LOU DOBBS: Have you looked, Amy�
AMY GOODMAN: We can�t refute�a third of prisoners are�
LOU DOBBS: Yes. And we discussed that?
AMY GOODMAN: �are illegal immigrants�
LOU DOBBS: Have we discussed it?
AMY GOODMAN: No, a third of prisoners are illegal immigrants, not true. 7,000 leprosy cases in the last three years because of illegal immigrants�
LOU DOBBS: Christine Romans misspoke�
AMY GOODMAN: �not true.
LOU DOBBS: �we said that. And that�s as straightforward as we can put it.
AMY GOODMAN: And you made an announcement on your show�
LOU DOBBS: Absolutely.
AMY GOODMAN: �and you will say it here�
LOU DOBBS: Absolutely.
AMY GOODMAN: �that it is not true. Illegal immigrants are not responsible for 7,000 cases of leprosy over last three years.
LOU DOBBS: Not over the last three years. But the likelihood is that illegal immigrants are responsible, because they are the ones who brought Hansen�s disease�
AMY GOODMAN: �The likelihood��based on what, Lou?
LOU DOBBS: Based on doctors at the Hansen Center,�
AMY GOODMAN: No.
LOU DOBBS: �who said that�listen to me. Hansen�s�I mean, if you guys�you guys are just ridiculous in your loss of proportion here. You�re talking about one report. But if you want to talk about it, tuberculosis and Hansen�s disease are both screened, and they are so similar in the symptoms and their presentation that doctors look for that in the screening. Without question.
AMY GOODMAN: But as you agree now, you�re formally apologizing for having a presentation on your show�
LOU DOBBS: I already have.
AMY GOODMAN: �and then backing it up.
LOU DOBBS: Wait, wait, wait.
AMY GOODMAN: Again, this is not just one show.
LOU DOBBS: Referring to three years, OK?
AMY GOODMAN: So you�re saying that illegal immigrants have caused 7,000 cases of leprosy�
LOU DOBBS: No.
AMY GOODMAN: �over thirty years?
LOU DOBBS: I�m saying the likelihood is that those cases of Hansen�s disease are, according to the doctors at the Hansen Center, most likely as a result of illegal immigration, because they�re not being screened.
AMY GOODMAN: You know the fear�
LOU DOBBS: But why contain this?
AMY GOODMAN: Well, the reason�
LOU DOBBS: How about tuberculosis?
AMY GOODMAN: Let me make a point.
LOU DOBBS: Does that concern you?
AMY GOODMAN: Let me just say something. Let me just say something.
LOU DOBBS: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: The reason we�re raising these issues is not any one particular case, though I think facts matter�
LOU DOBBS: You�re giving more focus to this issue�
AMY GOODMAN: �because�
LOU DOBBS: We put one report, eight seconds, and you are giving an entire broadcast to this.
AMY GOODMAN: No. It is well more than eight seconds. But I want to make a point here. Even when you were called on it by 60 Minutes�they played a clip�you came back the next day�
LOU DOBBS: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: �and you continued this fallacy. But the issue is, we�re raising different issues in different spheres of American life�prisons, disease�and in each of these cases, what many people are concerned about what you�re doing, because there is no question, Lou Dobbs, you are extremely influential in this country. You are a key part of driving the debate on immigration.
LOU DOBBS: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: And so, I think it is important to be accurate�
LOU DOBBS: Oh, I do, too.
AMY GOODMAN: �to start there.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Yeah, but I think we should�
LOU DOBBS: Have you ever made a mistake on this broadcast, Amy?
AMY GOODMAN: Yes.
LOU DOBBS: How many, would you say?
AMY GOODMAN: I would say that each time it�s pointed out, we try to apologize for it.
LOU DOBBS: So do we.
AMY GOODMAN: And we try to correct the record.
LOU DOBBS: And the issue is, for me, the 7,000 cases�as soon as I understood the issue was the three years versus thirty years�I mean, to me it was a�
AMY GOODMAN: That�s not minor.
LOU DOBBS: To me, it frankly was of no interest. The issue was 7,000 cases on the registry of Hansen�s. That was the issue I was responding to when I understood fully the three-year thing. I mean, to me, the idea was whether the registry had been brought up to date or not. No one in their right mind thought that�you know, a year, or whatever, that a thousand cases had been created.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Sub: Statistics on Employment Based AOS(Adjustment of Status) applications pending at USCIS under various categories
I am writing to you to express my sense of helplessness over the unpredictability of Visa Number allotment to various employment based category. I want to bring to your attention that it�s been nearly a �Decade� since we saw any meaningful Visa Date movement from year 2001 for EB-3 Green Card applicants from India.
It is important to know that despite of severe visa retrogression and random visa cutoff date movements, USICIS or DOS hasn�t released any official information on how many Adjustment of Status applications are pending at USCIS under various categories which leaves thousands of AOS(Adjustment of Status) applicants in complete darkness and dependent on guessing games by various Law firms.
A green card application requires enormous amount of efforts and money from the beneficiary and his/her employer. People who are waiting for 7-8 years now would have had already spent average $15,000-$20,000, in maintaining their statuses and keep the Green Card process going on. Being stuck in a green card process keeps us bonded with 1 employer, job type etc.
We need to know if there is any light at the end of the tunnel. We need to know for how long we have to live our life in limbo. If there is hope than we need to be patient and plan to live like that for another 1-2 years. But if there�s no light at the end of the tunnel than we need to move on with our careers and other family commitments. Only your office and USCIS can help us by releasing statistics on the number and categories of applications pending with USCIS people waiting in this category can plan their lives accordingly.
It will be a great help if DOS or USCIS could tell us about the number of AOS application pending at USCIS along with their Categories(EB-3, EB-2, EB-1) and chargeable country.
We have been waiting for a decade and continue to wait would it be reasonable to request you for some guidance with regards to the Visa allotment. I request your office to provide some statistics on home many Adjustment of Status applications are pending at USCIS.
We understand that you work with in the limits of the law as set by the Congress and are limited by various constraints that are beyond your agency realm of work. We appreciate your hard work and sincerely thank you for all the hard work.
God Bless America!

I have not seen any place where the change the rules of the Games inbetween..So for EB-3's of early 2000..we were expecting GC's in 2-4 years and EB-2 in 1-3 years..we didnt see any big difference here..ok we said we can apply in EB-3 and wait a year longer...
If we knew that DOL would suddenly change the rules..there was no reason for us to apply in EB-3..we could have looked for another job or convinced our manager to apply to apply in EB-2..if the situation could turn so dire as we know now..Now look at the new guys..they will never apply in EB-3..even the lawyers will advise thier clients to apply in EB-2..so the old intrepretation should remain for the older cases and new interpretation for cases when USCIS decided to change the interpretation...
YOU CANT CHANGE THE RULES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME!
There is no ambiguity in law. The law is clear. One law (and one rule) should yield one interpretation. If someone interperting the languge of law differently; then that is their mistake. Thats what DOS was doing in between 2001 and 2006. This could be possible for them because no one was going after DOS. Now somehow they realized (or some affected applicants notified DOS). If the old practice is a result of correct interpretation of law, why they should change now? This is very high sensitive area; DOS might have not changed their practice without risk analysis. They should not care about how much retrogression in India; They should only care about implementing the law correctly, as becuase they are executive branch of government not legislative branch to worry about retrogression.

well, EAD is denied when MTR is denied, makes sense. But if you see the information posted by 'desi485' in this other thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=302334&postcount=17), it may remain valid till validity. This is indeed confusing though. Please ask your lawyer and share with us everyone here.
There are a lot of interpretations. Popular Attorneys like Rajiv Khanna and Sheela Murthy claim it is not valid and always advise clients to have a h1b backup. Not sure why they are so keen on h1b. It could be because some adjudicators may send EAD revocations also along with 485 denials.

Thanks gbof and Anil for replying...
I raised SR on Aug 12th..No Response Yet...
Infopass appointment said that my file got assigned to Examination officer on Aug 4th...Not sure if Examination Officer and IO are same or not...
But the real kicker is i got second FP on July 26th, 2010 for Code 1...I didnt see any LUD after second FP...I am guessing this is where i am stuck with second time name check or back ground check verifications...
Also is it good to go for DHS 7001 form right way...i mean ombudsman request...
I will propose that you call USCIS customer service and talk to a 2nd level officer to find out the status of your case.. It doesn't hurt to pursue from this point.
I am unaware of any concrete proof that contacting Congressman or Ombudsman has actually helped directly...Most of us are just speculating on this.
I think you need to hear the fact that your case is assigned to an officer..Then it is just a matter of time.
Good Luck. Keep us posted.

You are wrong. Even with valid H visa you need TV for UK. My wife had valid H4 visa in passport during her last visit to India and she had to return home from the airport and pay extra $ 250 and travel next day via Paris.
According to check in agent per UK rules even if you have a valid visa but have not travelled intyernationally within last 12 months you need TV.
So its not just for ppl who have AP or expired visa, thoise who have valid H visas but havent travelled out in last 12 months also need it.
For those in South ( Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana) best way to go to India is new Emirates direct flight between Houston and Dubai and then onward to India.
I have had 3-4 friends fly this route since they started flying in November 2007 and they have nothing but praise for everything. These guys have excellent food and entertainment and no transit visa hassels plus duty free sopping in Dubai is good.
I think in your case the check in agent screwed up, You should sue the airlines for the hassels.
I know many people who have travelled via UK , while having stamped h1/h4,b1/b2. 12 months limit is crap :-)
