Are you suggesting the fraud should not be reported?
Its like saying that do not report burglary in your home, as thief may do something bad to the family. Typical scare the victim approach.
No - I am not suggesting that!!
What I am suggesting is that the right time to take this up is when a recession is not in full swing. Between 2004 (when this law was enacted) and 2007 was a great time to pick this battle. Maybe another year down the line would also be a great time to pick it. Picking up this particular battle right now would probably make YOUR and MY lives much more difficult in the medium term.
Like you and the OP - I am a selfish individual. I will pick up only those fights which are in my interest. I believe that this particular fight is a lose-lose proposition in the current climate. I am disputing your (and OPs) belief that this will be beneficial for you/me/rest of us.
Lets take the example of the same Goldman Sachs manager. Tomorrow ICE comes to him and says you need to get rid of these 50 guys under you. What will he do? He cant increase the budget in the current environment. So he probably will hire a couple of GC holders/Citizens and replaces the whole division (with 50 GC/Citizens besides the 50 'violators') with an offshore team.
Think about it!!
Now is the time when everybody is thinking in terms of cost cutting. If you create costly disruptions now - then either the company becomes GM and lose out to overseas competitors or migrates the eitire division out.

Good advisory discussion. It is scary. I have a fundamental question. I heard that foreclosure and bancrupcy that is not easy anymore. A guy owe a mortgage loan for 100K, and not able to pay and forecloses it. If the bank aution the house only for 50K, he has still pay remaining amount (50K) to the bank. He cant just walk away, unless he files bankrupcy. Is that true?

USCIS has decided that the flowers sent by skilled, legal immigrants to director Dr. Emilio Gonzalez will be forwarded to injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
We welcome the fact that Dr. Gonzalez acknowledged the symbolic gesture of our protest. We are even more happy that these flowers will brighten the day of our injured service brethren. It is their contribution to the American freedom that has made this country such a desirable destination for highly skilled professionals from all over the world.
We also want to convey to the service personnel receiving those flowers that our message accompanying those flowers is, "Thank You and God Bless You".

Excellent! :)

Isn't it strange, card production ordered mail and Physical card on the same day.
My coworker and his spouse got both physical card and CPO mail yesterday on the same day itself . His PD is Jan 2005, EB-2 India and Nebraska service center.

Mine case is labor 06/2002 EB3, I-140 approved.
Spouse labor priority date is 06/2007 EB2, I-140 needs to be applied.
Acoording to my lawyer one cannot have 2 I-485's and though i explained that no such return rule he said its a risk and will get RFE and delays and personally does not recommend.
I am going to check with my wife lawyer on Monday and its well reputed law firm.
Since we both have stable jobs i am probably going to opt for my I-485 which has been already been filed and just file I-140 for my wife's case. Any thoughts ?

I dont think there is any issue with the way CIS allocates Visa. They clearly have specific definition and reservation when it comes to VISA categories. If you look in that aspect, EB1 comes first then EB2 and EB3. But this is very specific to VISA Category and does not mean the individuals. So If some one, who qualifies for EB2, but for some reason, he applies for Visa under EB3, it is not the fault of the system, it is the fault of the Individual. This includes me, since Iam May 2003, EB3-I. I do qualify for EB2. So I cant crib. If i want, I can change company and file EB2, for which I think, I am qualified or not apply under EB3 knowing the consequences until I find some one who can file my GC in EB2. When I file my GC under EB3, then in true terms, Iam degrading my self and i should face the consequences. Does it not make sense. So, I suggest work towards the immigration bill and try to make calls to get HR.5882 passed, Otherwise, I dont see any future for EB3. May be EB2 is better than EB3 in true definition, but that does not mean EB2 folks are better in anyway than EB3 folks. Hope u all agree.

Yeah.. weird right? The only conclusion can be that they DO have a hidden agenda.
I Unless they have a hidden agenda, they should be supporting IV's letter campaign.
How is this in conflict? Am I missing something?

Either sending email to ncscfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov or SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov should have helped in our case.

ON this org. I am one of them. My PD is Sept 2004 and my labor is approved but I am on EB3 sitting and waiting for I-485 to open up for me. In fact, my guessestimate is that there might be more EB3s here than EB2s but that's something not important right now.
We are going to push for quota raise for all EB GCs, not just EB2 or EB1. Also, the biggest and most critical push is going to be for allowing people to apply for I-485 even during retrogression.

After 2 failed marriages (i mean with 2 different companies)...some risk-taking ..coz, i left my second employer after crossing 200 days since filing I-485 , Used EAD and took up full-time employment with an awesome organization , and then later 2nd employer revoking I-140 that lead to an RFE ...and USCIS keeping the status Response received since Jan 2009 ...and now this ...after opening an SR on 08/10..Looks like it took an exact week since the SR was created.
Of course, my roller-coaster was a small one compared to the rest of the friends in this forum.. Good luck to all and thanks to one and everyone.

Hello, I can understand your pain as I was in a similar situation as you are. I would recommend to wait for atleast 2 weeks. I interviewed on 28th Dec and finally got the email on 9th Jan and the pp stamped on 10th Jan and took the flight on 12th Jan.
If you have an upcoming travel which is in next week, please try to reschedule it as it is not certain on how much time does it take in such cases.
I do not think getting the employer involved into this will help. VFS office will have no clue on this and they will answer only Questions on the process. Writing to the US consulate will also give you a general answer. It is sad that there is no accountability in cases like these. Please keep the faith.
Can you add which consulate (Mumbai/Delhi/Chennai) you interviewed?

There is nothing wrong in fighting. At least it will be used to prevent the same mistake in future. But it is not a bad idea to analyse the outcome so that everyone can prepare for that. My view is this campaign will be used for preventing future mistakes. I will be pleasantly surprised if we get more benefit than that. Even lawsuit also will serve the purpose and will give strong warning to USCIS.
I can tell many examples. Due to one persons misjudgment so many American and Iraq people were killed. Do you think they can get relief? Whatever relief people got it cannot bring back peoples lives. But still lot of people are thinking that Iraq could have been handled differently and many people are fighting against War. Most people realize mistakes after someone is impacted.
In the name of thinking differently we have smitha, senthil1 , asdqwe..and these guys confusing this struggle / fight for us trying to get ahead of the line or as senthil1 keeps saying uscis/dos made an honest mistake and asdqwe..keeps saying we need to fight for legislation rather than wasting time with these efforts. What all these guys and their ilk fail to understand is most of us are pissed off about the way it was implemented and handled rather than the ability to file AOS itself. If we sit and do nothing is like asking uscis / dos to walk all over us again and again. Besides in US law whenever there is a gray area, the decisions are based on precedents. This means if they have done this now means they can do this in any bulletin hence issued. They can issue a bulletin in Oct 2007 and on Nov 2 say "oops sorry my bad wrong bulletin" . Please come out of the basement and face the sun.
