makes sense now.. EB3 I was 3576 in 2008 due to the spillover rule change. For 2006 and earlier Eb3 and EB2 were roughly the same?
2007 was an anomaly due to the June fiasco. On the other hand the 7% limit was not applied in 2007. It is pretty clear that they do whatever they want.

This is the email I just received from CapitalOne:
"Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been out of the office unexpectedly and am now just getting a chance to catch up on past messages. Unfortunately we can't pursue candidates with EAD cards either."
There was a thread related to similar issues which I could not find. Apologies for opening a new one.
Doesn't the above constitute discrimination and illegal ? What recourse do we have when we are disqualified because of EAD ?
My neighbour just got a job at Capital One last week using her EAD . So I am not sure which policy this HR person is talking about. Capital One definately takes people on EAD and my neighbour is proof of it !!!

Hello,
Citizen of India.
1st H1 valid until Sept 2008.
Consultate for CP will be Mumbai, India.
I have a couple of questions pertaining to GC.
My LC is approved 2 days back (Filed - May 17, Approved - May 25) I didnt know this happens so fast. We have not yet received the cetitified documents from the department so I dont know whether its EB2 or EB3.
My lawyer says it is upto the department to decide whether my case comes under EB2 or EB3? Is this right?
Now we plan to file the I-140 in June 07. Should I go for premium processing right from the first time? My company is ready to do this. But someone said on one of these websites that this creates a suspicion in the minds of the department. I dont know how true this is?
I am thinking to opt for Consular Processing. What do you recommend on this?
I have read that we can also file I-140/485 concurrently. What does that mean? I was under the impression that first I-140 needs to be approved and only then we can file the other papers.
I read in one of the posts that the 485 and EAD were approved becore I-140. How is that possible?
Now the main thing that is bothering me is the financial situation of the company. They have good money and they can afford to pay me well, but the old accountant messed up big time and filed all wrong taxes and di not maintain proper records etc. So on papers its not such a great company, but they have money for sure. How can this be a hurdle?
All your help will be highly appreciated.
Thank You.

Nothing, Zilch, Nada....My lawyer said that of the 40 applications they filed on July 2nd. they got RN for only 5 so..... Seems to be a very long wait
It is told that most of the July 2 filings are waiting, but July 17 filings have received RN. Perhaps it all depends where USCIS folks put bundles of applications initially meant for rejection/return. I am also one of the July 2 filers still waiting

This is not the correct understanding. I know this myth is propogated millions of times in millions of board and so now this myth has become "truth" for millions. But that is not the correct way USCIS does things.
Country specific limit - 9% does NOT have any realtion to "assigning numbers". it is just meant to "approve 485 - mail you a real physical green card".
In ROW cataegory other countries are also bound with this 9 (7 + 2) % limit for Visa granting. For an example - For Pakistan USCIS will never grant more than 9% visa per year no matter how many applications from Pakistan have been assigned a valid visa number. Same will go true for Britain or any "other" country.
In reality How USCIS divide 28.6% among countires - That is unknown mystery and nobody surely know that. And that is why I had to assume "equal shares - 5 part" in my analysis assuming USCIS works fairly but we all know that is a bullshit too :)
I completely agree with your last 2 lines. But I don't agree with the even dividing of the number into 5 categories of I,P,C,M,ROW.
Let's take an example. Suppose for some odd coincidence....the first 8000 odd EB3 apps that USCIS processes starting Oct 1.....none are from I,P,C,M. Suppose First 2500 are from Uk, next 2500 from France, next 2500 Germany and the next 508 from Pakistan. Now the number for ROW at this point would be 8008. Now they get another app from UK next. Will they refuse to process that app as the ROW figure had reached? Then they will still process more than 2500 for I,P,C,M. Won't that be unfair to UK applicants.
As I have said a couple of times now, and so have a few others - ROW cannot be capped at X/5. Due to the high demand from I,P,C,M....it likely gets a MINIMUM of (100 - (7 X 4)) X EB3 cap.

Hi,
I saw two LUDs on my 485, I found out one was after FP, the second one was after FP, BC clearance. I found mine was in name check
and USCIS officer told me, the name check is done for all. it takes 2 - 6 months time frame.. and for some it may be beyond

Hi Kewl:
Thanks for you encouraging email. My senator's rep. said that my case was assigned to an IO on Sep 21st. Are you sure that it takes 10-30 days(only) once the app is with an IO? May I know how are you so sure about this? Did any NCS rep tell you this time-frame? I only hope what you said comes true.
Also, I have sent 7001 late last week. Is there a # to contact obmudsman's?

[QUOTE=addsf345;726872]I have similar experience. I moved to sunrocket (which is now teleblend) from vonage. I pay half of what I used to pay vonage for same services/usage.
currently teleblend offers $50 unlimited india calling + ofcourse US+canada unlimited. However as now vonage has come up with $25 world plan, I am sure teleblend would come up with something similar soon... may be $20 world plan or so. As they always price it below vonage. Let's hope! competition is good for consumer.[/QUOT
I belive ultimately all the big phone service providers like Reliance, Airtel and Tata will reduce the calling rates to match/beat VOIP providers like Vonage.
This will be the saving grace to keep down the telephone expenses.

Good to see some initiatives on flower / call campaign.
Please, while sending flowers/ calling Congress members - fax the copy on what Alen Greenspan said few weeks back. Its VERY important they know about this - http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080813/...y_greenspan_dc
I have said it before and will say it again - " Nothing else but ONLY 'current economy ' will make this bill pass ". To get enonomy back on track, they need to fix housing market first.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, although this is an independent thread, I cannot help myself posting the same thing here. Dont want to miss a chance to spread info on this within our retrogression victims:
This according to washingtonpost.com's editorial. See the editorial here:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...123100764.html
This House member is apparently retiring in 2007 after serving his current term.
Here is an extract from his article that hits the homerun when it comes to retrogression. (please read this article entirely to get to know what this guy is all about).
We rarely hear about the long and shameful wait of up to five years facing a person seeking to immigrate legally into the United States, or the legitimate cross-border business that finds roadblocks at every turn. Kolbe consistently pushed the government to treat the people caught in this bureaucratic wastelands with respect. To be sure, he was a strong advocate of tougher border enforcement, but he knew that enforcement should be only a single component of a much bigger strategy.
This man is honest, candid and outspoken and unpopular:( at home(arizona) because of that. But the keyword here is candid and well-informed:). If the EB retrogression is presented properly to him, he could be an effective voice in the house.
Now, does anyone live in Arizona's 8th congressional district who can do something here. Arizona's 8th is most of Tucson, eastern Pima County, all of Cochise County and parts of Pinal and Santa Cruz Counties.

Lufthansa is another option for no transit visa, cheaper ticket than NW, Emirates or Singapore airlnies, little bit security check at Frankfurt when returning .....
with emirates, there is a route via dubai (no torture) and one via hamburg + Dubai. I traveled via the second one twice on emergencies. you are ushered in a square box of a building with barbed wires and armed (fully armed and body armored, hand gunned, you-mongrel-looking) guards. There is even a special
barbed wire line for 'special immigrant' (read asylum or illegal migrants) inside though i have not seen it used. then comes double wammy security checks (show-me-your-baby'smilk-is-edible type). There is one bathroom for each gender that has useless (over 10 months)faucets and one bar (no shop for food). the layover reminded me of concentration camps. But it was still better than $274 ;-)

My special Thanks to Mr. Prakash and Ms Windy for raising the issue with USCIS Rep Ms. Debra Roger.
Please don't miss this chance:
Please send details to CIS Ombudsman office with scaned delivery Proof for pending applications. Please mail him all the details. He want to see the trend. No efforts are useless.
USCIS is again not admitting that they are not following the FIFO and per USCIS, we should have got our EAD by now also. :D
CADude,
Do you have postal address or fax of Ombudsman office readily available with you? I remember having seen it, but can't quickly find it. I will send my details to Mr. . USCIS simply brushed aside the issue of FIFO by just saying that it could only be a rare case of an error or special attention needed, which obviously is not true.
