What?? No - my visiting IV often doesn't translate into faith for IV. I visit IV to catch up on any news, to learn about unique situations members post. I visit bunch of other immigration forums.
I never said core members are my employees...LOL where did you interpret that from?
Instead of addressing concerns I have raised, you are trying to divert attention to my attitude?
Update: Now if we are done with questioning my attitude, how about addressing the real point about bringing in more transparency into what IV Core does and how the funds received are being spent
IV is not just another immigration forum. IV is group of people just like you and me who have applied for GC.
In your earlier post you mentioned about your reluctance for not contributing. You may not accept it but the fact is you don't contribute and now trying to justify it to yourself by writing such posts. You are just trying to come over your guilt. Otherwise if you are visiting IV for news then posts like this are totally uncalled for.
If you think IV is working towards making your GC journey smoother and shorter then start putting efforts. Contact core work on various projects IV is working on.
People like you just come over to IV and pass judgment and critical remarks. Thats why I said IV core are not your employees.

I strongly support IV sending a similar letter.
We should wirte names of IV members, their location and/or employer, and a comment or two. This should be delivered to congressional leaders asap!!!
When we show 10,000 faces on the letter, it will be a powerful force.

One of the reasons for careful inspection of the PPD site, and clear distinction concerning swelling vs. induration is that we have found many Applicants from India, Sri Lanka, and other areas of South Asia who exhibit either a swelling or a positive reaction. A POSITIVE REACTION MAY ALSO BE THE RESULT OF PRIOR 'BCG' VACCINATION IN THE HOME COUNTRY. BCG IS 'BOVINE CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN' and is frequently administered in those areas as a preventative. BCG will CROSS REACT WITH THE ANTIGEN TO TUBERCULAR ANTIBODIES AND RESULT IN A 'FALSE POSITIVE' RESULT! Tell the Civil Surgeon if you have had BCG Vaccination in the past.
Today, if such is the case, we recommend to the Applicant that they undergo the IGRA tuberculin test rather than the PPD. IGRA is more advanced than PPD, and does not cross react with prior BCG vaccination. IGRA also eliminates the need for a return visit to inspect an examination site. It's only drawback is that it is a separate outside lab test and requires a separate charge.
If an Applicant suspects that he/she may show positive on a PPD--ASK FOR THE IGRA INSTEAD!! Myrna B. Tagayun, M.D./Civil Surgeon/ 973-773-7800/New Jersey
BCG is NOT chorionic gonadotropin

>> AC21 is not applicable once you opted for CP
AC21 is available for CP if applicant has converted from AOS to CP and I-485 was pending for > 180 calendar days. Please check with your attorney.

Is there any memo by USCIS on this matter? I think there is no answer for this type of specific situations in their latest memo. AC21 law clearly a benefit to "long pending AOS canditates". Consulates in abroad may not even know what is AC21, if you provide offer letter other than sponser.

If you have an I140 approval notice it may have an A # on it. This is the A#. NOT the I94 number.
Only the prinicipal applicant will have an A# so leave that box empty on the dependents forms.
I have 140 approved and the approval notice doesnt have any A # on it. Not all 140s get A# assigned to it. I dont know how they decide but every 140 approval doesnt come with an A # on it.

It is a very disappointing fact that people who immigrated here either through EB or FB are not concerned about whats happening with the immigration system.
what I have noticed that it depends on an individual. when I spoke about IV to my extended family (all citizens now), they readily spread the word around. when they spoke to others who are stuck due to retrogression, they do not seem to be interested. it almost feels like everyone is resigned to their fate and willing to whine and wait.

Why do you have to hijack somebody's thread and inject your request for contributions. Would you like it if someone did the same to you? Please refrain from doing this.
You think asking for contribution to IV is a CRAP!! then why are you posting all your CRAP questions for FREE? Go pay $$$$ to a reputed lawyer and get your CRAP questions answered dude

Does the way I'm applying for the I-485 adjustment make me unwelcome here? If it does then let me know and I will not post any more. But it seems to me that I am in the same situation as many people on this site.
My question still stands, I'd like to hear from those who are applying for adjustment of status I-485, have gotten stuck in name check, and have written to their congressperson or senators.
As the person who first answered your query, I was merely pointing you in the direction in which you may likely obtain a quick response to your question. I subscribe to and read the forum I directed you to and I can tell you that you may not have a quick response about name check issue here. A search of the forum will prove me right as information on name check is scanty here.
Having said that, you are very welcome to join us here and/or help us propagate this forum.

It is certainly not out of their (NSC's) league to do something like that - work on the case w/o posting a LUD and approve them/send notices in batch.
I think it is possible to data mine the case status from USCIS site quite easily. Based on the case number decode it is possible to write a routine to go through all the cases in sequence and extract the information. I believe that is what ImmigrationWatch is doing. What is lacking there is the country of chargeability - which is not available on the case status display.
In any case I hope - IO at NSC wakes up from their hibernation and starts working. May be they are waiting for the flowers from IV members :)
Something tells me that NSC might be working on 485 cases like TSC with an exception of sending or updating the approval notices as and when they are completed.
Maybe they will send all the approval notices this weekend for the cases being worked on till now.
After seeing the Immigrationwatch on the number of approvals and cases touched at NSC(not sure how reliable this is)but , this might be the case.
Also, if you see the history of NSC on approval notices sent , this might make sense. Example did anyone observed this trend in EAD approvals from NSC? My Approval notice for EAD says that the Case is approved on 12/11/07, however the Card expiration date was valid from 12/05/2007 to 12/04/2008. A gap of 8 days between date sent and actual approval
Just being positive....Thats all...Hopefully True

Depends on what you mean by customer service rep. If it is a level 2 it is not a outsourced department bit are Immigration Information Officers (IIO's), these officers usually rotate between this job and handling cases which are of lesses complexity like I-131's and I-765's.
I just talked to a USCIS customer service right now the customer rep was very courteous and professional. I haven't experienced any ill-treatment by any customer rep of USCIS, whether over the phone or in person.
One thing I wanted to add, USCIS never sent me the receipt numbers to me directly, all the receipt notices went to my attorney.

Exactly. I think its always better to bear all the legal cost yourself than to have employer do it. Lawyers know who is signing the check and who can fire them. It's worth the cost in the longer run. You might be able to get the cost re-imbursed, but as far as lawyer is concerned , you sign the check.
That is an employee retention scheme created by your employer in order to stop you from quitting and joining a better company and taking that priority date with you. This way, you will stick with them and keep working on their terms with little or no power to negotiate better pay. The lawyer is following the orders of your employer who is squeezing you.
Let me make wiiillllddd guess here....
You work for a desi employer. Dont you?
If the answer is yes, then you should not be surprised. They do this all the time. You are not the only victim of "X belongs to employer" where X is H1 approval notice, or labor approval notice or 140 approval notice. Take your pick.
The reality is, yes, the petition and its approval belongs to them, but it doesnt mean that they cannot give you a xerox copy of approval letter. And if you obtain the xerox or original of the approval letter (h1, labor or 140) that doesnt make you the owner of the petition.
Take an example. I own a car. However, I give photo-copies of the title of my car to you. Do you become the owner of the car? No. Exactly the same thing. By giving you a xerox copy of 140 approval, you dont become they owner of that 140. And they know that. But still the immigration lawyers (who are basically the pimps of exploiting employers in 99% cases) will peddle this nonsense and they have done it for so long that it has now become conventional wisdom that "X petition belongs to employers and it property of employer so they cannot give originals or photocopies of that X approval letter".
However, by peddling this BS that "X belongs to employer", they get away by not giving you a xerox copy that doesnt give your ownership of that petition but gives you ability to either change jobs or to retain priority dates and switch jobs more easily.
Please refuse to accept this conventional wisdom that really runs in contradiction to common sense.

If two prospective employers file for GC, then how this is handled. I believe you could have two 485 in parallel. Just my thought.
Incorrect.
I-485 is filed by the employee and he/she should know the permanent job he/she is going to join after I-485 approval. The I-485 should be filed with EVL from the intent job offer.
If the employee changes his/her mind after filing for I-485, then one of the two options:
1. Invoke Ac-21
2. Change the underlying I-40 for the I-485 application
Again, only one I-485 is needed.
Please check and verify details with your attorney/lawyer. This is NOT a legal advice.

Hi,
I have more than 10 years of IT experience. I work for an American company. They are going to file my green card but not in EB-2 ,in EB-3. When is ent an email to AVP requesting to file my green card in EB2, HR/Recruiting manager has sent the following email in response. I need your suggestions how to proceed on this.
Hello there. Thanks for the email and inquiry. The EB-2 classification is for individuals with Master's degrees or Bachelor's degrees plus five years of progressive experience. Not only does the employee need to possess these qualifications, but the employer must require them for the position. Thus, unless ****** [company name] can attest that it has only ever hired individuals with Master's degrees or Bachelor's degrees plus five years of progressive experience for the same or similar positions and that it will continue to do so indefinitely (and also explain why it is required), EB-2 will not be available for the position.
*********** [Employee name] is correct that the processing times are currently shorter for individuals in the EB-2 category (a two-year difference for Indian nationals). However, these processing times are always subject to change. ****** [company name] will be able to petition for H-1B status for *********** [Employee name] beyond the six-year maximum as long as it filed the labor certification 365 days before his H-1B status expires.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks.
Cordially,
********
Your company HR is true to an extent that they may need to show that they have hired colleagues in the same Masters or Bachelors + 5 years experience.
It seems they want to go by books 100% which is good for them.
Unfortunately it will not be good for you since u may lose 2-3 years in the process.

My guess is it's all fuss to gain the publicity. for all who are hoping to see something good out of it : dont expect anything. It's just matter of time before you see your 485 file returned to you. Then everything will be cool and calm. You will be out of shock and start looking for next visa bulletin in mid-Sectember. Lawyers are giving you hopes and that's their job and just like what AILF is doing. The case will be stretched for long and USCIS/DOS will get a slap in the wrist. It's time for you to find out what is next for you. As I said, most will just keep on waiting like they did before and keep predicting next bulletin. Remember when I say "you", I meant "you and I".
