I posted the following question for the Nevada Presidential debate. I urge all of you, specially if you are from Nevada, to ask a similar question.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22574335
http://www.januarydebate.com
"Illegal immigration has been a topic of heated debate and has received much needed attention during this election. Many of you have taken a strong position on one side or the other of this issue while ignoring the problems of aspiring legal immigrants. In the midst of all the hype and bickering about ILLEGAL immigration, there is a group of people, often forgotten and ignored, who are caught up in a bureaucratic mess and stuck in a limbo, patiently waiting on the path to LEGAL immigration. This is a group of high skilled workers, most of whom have advanced degrees in medicine, engineering and science from Universities in the US. These people have worked hard, paid taxes and waited their turn, many for a decade, without the end anywhere near sight because of a system that is hopelessly broken and inefficient. I am one of those people. I have been here legally for 10 years and still years away from the realizing the dream of immigrant status.
As the President of the United States how do you intend to address the problems faced by future Americans already living and working LEGALLY in the United States?"
For the skeptics-
I know the chances of including such a question are really slim, specially with the sponsors they have. However, if a lot of us ask similar questions, maybe they might bring it up.
Also, one might argue that even if they pose the question its not like all the backlogs are going to be eliminated. Thats not the expectation here. The idea behind this is to create an awareness and start people/media talking about problems of legal immigration.

We should also check if we have a case to sue USCIS. Last year, they said they were going by receipt/notice date and not PDs. What are they going by this year? Hundreds of people with receipt/notice/PD later than mine have been approved. My PD is June 2004.
Yes, lets send a letter collectively to Napolitino.
Hi Cali: I think we should concentrate on getting our case approved first in a polite manner. Also, I think that we can form a nice letter, but send it separately, as our personal details are different.

Hello World Max for only $23.95 /month provides unlimited calls to india as per link posted earlier by some one on this thread.

However I see no details if they allow calls from cellphones too, as some one pointed out. That was the major difference between vonage and lingo.
if anyone has details, please share. Till that time, I would continue using tata trueroots for 2.9 cents a minute promo. Thanks!!!

But seems to be just laid on table and waiting for action. Specially S.1033/H.R.2330 and S.1916-1919 has a provision to exempt the immidiate family members from Employment based visa numbers which is Good.
S1438 is also some what for a tiny releif as it asks for recapture of unused visas from past years

Hi guys,
I sent in the four letters 2 weeks ago and this week I got a mail from TEXAS Service Center. They returned my letter in original and they also wrote a big one page letter.
I don't have it with me right now but in it, it was mentioned that "Please call us at our inquiry center if you have any inquires or you can check your status online as well as the recent processing times.
Don't know if others are also receiving the same returned mail but I wanted to let you guys know this as an FYI.
It does not seem like the letter reached the person to whom it was directed to.

Thank you. I am not worried about the three companies I know of , I am worried about other 3000 companies that I don't know of.
I also beleive, it is not the companies that are evil. It is the system that provides the incentive. And I am trying to take away that incentive.
Please wait for few months; let me complete porting my PD to EB2. LOL ....
If you don't realize, this is what is happening in the GC queue system and I will try to explain using an analogy.
There are 3 queues to a single counter that issues work permit.
First queue, for age group 20-30 (EB3) and slowest to get a work permit
Second, age group 31-40 (EB2) faster than EB3
Third, age group 41-50 (EB1), fast lane.
Now, on Jan 1 2000, X who is 21 years old joins the EB3 queue. There are 10 people on EB2 queue on this day. EB3 queue is hardly moving and X remains in the queue for 10 solid years. He is now 31. It is 2010.
The EB2 queue now has 100 people and our 100th person in the queue is SS and 35 years old.
The system allows X to join EB2 as he has turned 31 and also allows him to join behind the 10th person who was there on the EB2 queue as on Jan 1 2000 (if he was still there or be the 1st guy in the queue if the 10th person has already left the EB2 queue) as that was how many people were in the EB2 queue when X came in to this system.
Now SS cannot tolerate this for 2 reasons. One X came from EB3 (an inferior group per him) and next, X is 4 years younger and hence cannot get work permit ahead of him. He does not realize that he did not come in to the system when X came though he was senior and superior.
The system does not see that way. X was in the system for 10 years and he should be given priority in the system valuing the 10 years wait - irrespective of the queue he is in.
In other words, his queue might change but not his association with the system which is 10 years.
Now there could be people who show bogus age certificate and change queues. They have to be punished but not the system.
You don't set your house on fire just to kill few mosquitoes in there.
If you still don't agree, SunnySurya, good luck with your law suit! After all every human being commit mistakes in their life and is your turn now.

Folks, all other issues can wait. AC21 is one silver lining in the GC journey which is otherwise filled with the dark clouds of Retrogression. We shouldn't let this benefit be taken away from us through unfair denials.
You may not be a AC21 beneficiary now, but may have to avail it sooner or later if the economy continues to tank, like it's doing now. Most economists don't see economy recovering for couple more years.
Act now, instead of regretting later.

I am on a h1b currently. I changed empoyers in the US but the old stamp is still valid till semptember 2008. I has taken a visa date for jan30 in mumbai consulate and was going to fly back on feb9. Now planning to cancel the visa stamping because of the PIMS delays. I hope i am still valid to fly as i have a valid visa stamp and a new petition from current employer too which i can show at port of entry. Do let me know your views on the same and if there are any probable issues....
you will be fine. i have done that earlier.. make sure they stamp I-94 with the expiry date of your current H1 approval... that is important..

Once again the petition protesting against namecheck delays misses the point. It is unreasonable to ask the FBI to "speed up" the process, they should be allowed to take as much time as they want.
I want to recycle all the negative adjectives you have used in your mail on your statements ;-). Please read about NNCP, FBI and related congressional hearings and statements; about the GC for a muslim known to have Hezbollah connections but missed by FBI background checks and the kind of reactions in evoked in 2002; subsequent modifications in the name check process. Also, try to understand (!) that name checks are done for ALL APPLICANTS including for Soccer Spicegirl and her hubby Bechkam when they would apply under extraordinarily talented category. FBI does not look for visa category the applicant comes under; it is not their job. CIS is mandated to have the "background" check (of which namecheck is just one of the processes) cleared for ALL gc applicants. Then how can this be independent of gc process? What if the uncleared person gets gc and then becomes persona non granta (unavailable) for deportation if the checks fail? how about the benefits (SSN etc) and immi benefits (sponsorship etc.)? what if that person becomes an elected offcier (state governor?) and then the name check fails?
The request to speed up the name checks is truly ridiculous. Stupidity like this is what harms legal H1-B immigrants the most.
Do you understand the reasons for the delay? Read Pappu's postings carefully: the delay is not because of namechecks not cleared; delay is mainly because the FBI analysts DO NOT GET TO YOUR FILE for many years! They claim they could not keep up with demand for name checks from gc applicatns, naturalization applicants, sometimes other visa applicants, whitehouse visitors, political appointees to less prominent positions, would-be employees of coast guard and other sensitive defense establishments etc. etc. If that is the case what is wrong in asking FBI (I dont know who is doing it though) to speed up the process for legal immigratns? $100 X 500,000 = $50M; Even if one analyst costs ~100K per year (with benefits), then do the math!
Stupidity in any form is harmful to H1Bs. Asking for expediting namecheck (even with a fat fee) is not one of them. But putting the mouths first where the minds should have been really harms anyone!

Let me guess something .. you are from CTS ... :-)
Your rocket science of 'report' to employer manager can be easily busted just by producing couple of emails from client managers assigning work to these L1 babies... true these companies would have a so called psuedo manager in their client locations just to fool USCIS BUT unfortunately ICE investigators are trained and informed about such fraudulant arrangements. Once we produce couple of emails (hope atleast few of us would be copied in those work assignment / weekly status emails) proving the direct work assignment from client these phony arrangements doesn't hold good. Second if we could prove that these so called managers doesn't even belong to our team (look for org charts/team list/email lists where these phony managers name would never be mentioned) just produce those evidence along with the above mentioned work assignments.. ICE investigators would take care of our 'rocket scientists'.
My dear 'new born' ...what ever you do ... every crime leaves its own trail ... how long you guys would continue this shady mode of operation.. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU VIOLAITNG THE RULES.... GREED JUST CORPORATE GREED, individual resources are just pawns in this fraud.
When did you realize the L1 Fraud? The day you were hired or the day you were fired?
There was story of a man who used to beat his wife after coming back from work. Apparently he was frustrated with his boss and his wife was the victim of his frustration. He soon realized a remedy to his situation. He built an effigy of his boss and hid it in a safe & lonely place. Everyday after work he used to go there and beat and curse the shit out of that effigy. He could then return to his normal family life and continue to love his wife.
You remind me of that guy. This forum is your safe place and all the dumb IV members responding to you are your effigies. I am a part of this dumb group so go ahead and throw some of that leftover shit on me.

DOS has publicly admitted that they made a mistake in the past interpretation and allowed visas to flow to EB3-ROW and EB3.
Do yo uguys seriously expect DOS to start making the same mistake they publicy apologized for a few months back?
We all talk about staying united.. but if EB3 folks are going to get together and start asking DOS to unfairly divert visa numbers away from EB2 (mostly to EB3-ROW... numbers will run out before EB3-I even sees it), how are EB2 folks expected to just sit and watch?
How can we stay united then?
What would you do if your blood brother was in EB2 while you are in EB3? Would you do the same?

I asked this question several times on all the threads that are discussing the new USCIS data, but no one seems to be answering this, but I think it is important to make sure this wrinkle is sorted out...
When they say inventory of 485 apps.. by any chance does it mean only the 485 that has been pre-adjudicated? I wish that was not the case.. but these numbers are too small to believe otherwise.. I hope one of the doctors in USCIS VB Theory (and I know there are a whole lot of them here on this forum) can sort this doubt quickly by throwing some nice logic.. But I would like to hear that so I am convinced with the quality of thi spread sheet.
