We have the option of sending free faxes right on IV itself.
Ganguteli, I hope you are not just a 'body'. Has anyone on this thread faxed anything through that website supporting illegals?? People @ IV (may be not all) are smart enough to use their tool for our advantage.

In my view It is as important as anything else for a EB organization. We should
especialy be careful with hard country limit and other related issues, It can take a turn for worse and end up EB organizations with different national backgrounds fighting for a slice in a pie rather than getting it bigger enough to hold everyone.
Ethnic diversity is good for IV, and we should encourage everybody to join regardless of their origin!
AAPI is not an EB related organization - it is a professional organization like the AMA, but all of its members are of Indian origin!
AAPI and its President agreed to this role / endorsement after they were approached for their support. Some doctors who are members of IV, are also members of AAPI. In return, they will not be getting anything - what can IV give an organization that is over 25 years old? Their meetings are attended by all kinds of lawmakers - including Presidents (of the US)! It would be foolish to not want their help - but then IQ scores are not a prerequisite for posting on IV Forums!
BTW, only docs who are affected are from India & China - all docs fall under EB2! (And, also STEM!)
FYI - doctors who worked to advance IV's goals travelled on their expense, even cross-country, to attend an AAPI meeting and it proved very fruitful in many ways to advance IV's causes. When this meeting was being held, the STEM provisions had already been included in all drafts - and these docs did not need to do anything else! Yet, these docs travelled to try & advance all of IV's goals!
If somebody has objections to country quota limit removal - take it up with the Core group & rest of IV!
We need help from everybody in this fight! AAPI can only help IV, not the other way around!
I do not understand these misgivings about AAPI's endorsement at all - am I missing something? This endorsement came after a lot of effort from a lot of people, and was actually initiated at the request of key members of the Core Group!

My case is very straight-forward but some really inefficient guy is making it complicated. I need your experience and inputs. Please do advise.
I came to US on J-1 in 2000. After 3-years on J-1 got 'waiver (i-612)" and then moved on to H1B visa and filed I-485 in july07 (with an approved I-140). I have stayed with the same university medical school (my GC sponsor) since 2000. Last month, I got a simple RFE --asking for a copy of approval notice of 'waiver' . Same was sent within a day and it followed with several LUDs and read rfe response received.....
Last week, got 'Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID)' for myself and same/ditto for my derivative-spouse. It is asking both of us to provide evidence/ IAP-66 and H1B approvals to prove our legal status from 2000 to 2006 (Please, note they asked only until 2006 and not until today). I have IAP-66 and H1B approvals ready to respond to this.
My Question is: Since my spouse/derivative was my dependant and was on J-2 visa, the IAP-66 were all in my name how should we respond to derivative's noid as-far-as IAP-66 approvals are concerned. We know IAPs and waiver are good for dependants and I want to end this back-and-forth with my response to uscis.
Please, advise and let me know of your thoughts....

NSC is like a lottery station. You have no idea when your petition will get adjudicated. Forget the dates. There are only two categories; lucky and unlucky. Lucky guys get out in one year. Unlucky guys stuck for three or four years.
As of now, they are concentrating all the resources towards approving as many Naturalization petitions as possible. Say, 70-80% of their resources are concentrated on that process. They are under tremendous pressure from politicians to get as many new voters for upcoming November elections as possible.
Hiring new staff and training them is going on but you will not see the results until January or February 2009. Apparently, these agents will have to go through thorough FBI check before selected for training. As usual, it met with few bureaucratic delays. They are at least 7 months behind their target in hiring new staff.
Remember, this same agency released "Strategic Vision" report in 2004, where they proclaimed to adjudicate I-140s in 180 days and eliminate backlogs before the end of Bush's presidency. Wow! what an efficient implementation of the "Strategy". Soon, they will come up with a "New Vision", which will get blurred within days. Story repeated.
So, EB guys, forget about our I-140s and 485s for a while. They will crawl, atleast until October end.
More over, what you are dealing with is the most inefficient and callous agency in the US government. Since this agency does not deal directly with US citizens, very rarely they will have to answer anybody, unless they screw up big time.
There are only two things that get you green card; patience and luck.
Good luck to all of us.

Today I called. Automated phone system didn't provided me option 3 and 4 after "keep listening to updates on case" step. It's said invalid option. Second try again I think used 3,3,1 which takes me level 1 CC. Luckily level 1 guy asked few questions(last name, first name, receipt#, dob, A#, etc, etc.) and let me go to Level-2. Level-2 again asked me for same info (last name, first name, A#, etc, etc.) but told me "call after March 10th 2008". So not much success. What a wastage of time. :(
this is called inter filing.

Last time around exactly the same time in 2006 CIR took off like crazy because of the tremendous backing of Senate Judiciary committee chairman Arlen Specter and Senate majority Leader Bill Frist (who actually gave a deadline for a the bill to be introduced to the senate floor, to speed it up) and president bush supporting it as well. In spite of all these it took the senate from Feb-march 2006 to around September 2006 to get it passed.
In 2006 Senate had passed S2611 late may as I remember with a fair margin...

I have read about some cases where ppl who had one of the PDs current, tried very aggresively and got their 485 approved. I have not seen many cases though. Everytime I research on interfiling, I always find those couple of cases so in my opinin, interfiling is not very common. Its a unknown territory as its not a paid service from USCIS.

I know some people think that we should not spend too much time on Lou Dobbs but to not protest his inaccuracies is to allow him to manipulate public opinion against us. It seems like his latest enemy is the "indian immigrant".
Some of you may have seen his interview of Senator Tancredo who suggested that there were about 700,000 immigrants that had come to the US legally on H1B visas and had overstayed illegally. Mr Dobbs of course did not question these numbers and facts and there has been no subsequent supporting information to back up such claims that negatively affect the perception of legal immigrants to the US.
Meanwhile Michale Moore has stated on his website that they "are now going to start looking into the veracity of other reports you have aired on other topics. Nothing you say now can be believed. In 2002, the New York Times busted you for bringing celebrities on your shows and not telling your viewers they were paid spokespeople for the pharmaceutical companies. You promised never to do it again. But there you were, in 2005, talking to Joe Theismann, on air, as he pushed some drug company-sponsored website on prostate health. You said nothing about about his affiliation with GlaxoSmithKline.
Clearly, no one is keeping you honest, so I guess I'm going to have to do that job, too"
Question for IV leadership - should we as a community should inform Michael Moore of Lou Dobbs inaccuracies when we find any?
Thank You

Yeah, sticking up for the Muggle-born :)
Salary should not be drastically different, but -20-30% should not be a red flag. Can you construct a more complicated compensation agreement that would include defined compensation (salary) and your share in profits or equity of the company? On one hand, it may be a good idea overall (and will protect your friendship), on the other hand, it is a lot harder for USCIS to cause trouble if they can't clearly understand what your total compansation compared to old job would be.
Yep - putting a "confundus charm" on compensation agreement could work. Good idea. Thank you Hermione.

Hi Cobra,
I would say...do not lose heart. I hope your case gets resolved soon. My friends who have gone for stamping lately have faced such problems. Almost all of them....one in Delhi consulate, another in Kolkata and another in chennai. they got 221g and had to over stay their vacation. But eventually all three of them could make it at the end. As long as you are able to provide all the docs they ask for, you should be good.
Regards,
vj

I believe once it gets past Jan 2003 PD's, dates will move steadily.

i was talking bout pdfs in the begining of this thread that talked bout some congressional documents requesting higher H1 quotas for fiscal yr 2008 and 2009
:) infact if quota is increased and duplicates eliminated, it ensures complete usage of the new quota (if any )

[QUOTE=qplearn]If the name check happens before the 485 process is cleared, great! If not, you wait for the name check; lots (and believe me tens of thousands) of people belong to the second group.

[QUOTE=qplearn] So your respected lawyer is technically correct, but what he/she is saying can be very badly misleading!! One gets the impression that clearing the name check happens automatically with completing work on the 485 by USCIS.[QUOTE=qplearn]
No, that's not what I claimed, unless my English screwed me up - (for the other readers), no one should believe that.
