05/26/2006: Critical Role of House-Senate Conference Committee and Importance of Selection of the Conferees
More than ever, in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation, the role of the upcoming House-Senate Conference Committee will be critically important. Traditionally, once conference committee reaches an agreement, the floors of both Houses usually accepted the compromise report of the conference committee. It is thus critically important to learn who will be selected to the conference committee by each House. The key players in the selection are the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate, Majority and Minority leaders in both Houses.
In the Senate, the floor has already decided how the conferees from the Senate will be selected. It proposes to send conferees at the ratio of 14 from the House and 12 from the Senate. On the Senate side, all the conferees will be selected from the Judiciary Committee at the ratio of 7 from the Republicans and 5 from the Democrats. On the Republican side, the Majority leader will select the seven Republican conferees and the Minority leader will select the five Democrat conferees. Without doubt, the Democrats will select the hardcore supporters of the CIR, but it is unclear who the Majority leader Bill Frist will pick on the Republican side. He may attempt to balance between the hardcore supporters and the hardcore opponents within the party. We just wish that the hardcore Republican opponents who posed a roadblock to the today's passage of the bill in the Senate as revealed in the amendment and final roll calls do not take a dominant power on the Republican side of the Senate delegaton. Readers may want to know who these opponents are by checking the voting records of S. 2611.

I think, if at all Minister is being planned to be met , it is better only few problems are presented to Minister.
PROBLEMS IN INDIA MAY DILUTE THE FOCUS. I think the following would be best to present ..
1) Retrogression.
2) Social Security Treaty.
Numbers justifying above data can do a lot good to explain the problem.

EB1-B or EB-2 is more suitable for me?
what bothers me is that I am not cited in the literature yet and I do not have awards.
Thanks,
John
You won't get a definite answer because its not a point based system. I think EB2 NIW is easier and current for Egypt so go for that. USCIS lists the criteria (at least 3 I think) that you must satisfy. If not then not much you can do.
Good luck!

If you are an immigrant what�s your status...Tell us more about you.
If not, what�s the purpose of you are visiting IV. Just teach about the scam?
The ICE, USCIS and DOL are there and very much capable to take care these scams. So if you have any information about the fraud...contact those authorities. We don�t have anything to do with that. Otherwise please get lost.
I can see how ignorant you are, I can use similar words.
Either you are really an uneducated fellow or not really get educated.
I dont have to file any type of application to be on this forums,
There could be tons of reasons why I am on this forums, ...Parents visitor visa, .. Brothers H1 , .. friends immigrants status, ...for god sake there are tons of issues.
I can say one thing .. there are few fellows around here .. looks like they are invaded this Immirationvoice.org forums and they are not allowing any new users to come or to post any topics which they dont like. What's wrong in my posting. I just browsed some topics .. they are horrible horrible topics out there.
Do a favor, If you want to help this forums never post such type of comments and get educated first and think positively.

As a victim of identity theft, I can tell you first hand that there is serious potential that this could be an issue. There is no guarantee that the person who received your document will return it first off. What if he simply throws in the trash? USPS makes mistakes all the time. What if your package is placed by USPS in someone else's mailbox? Or what if CIS puts the wrong address on the package?
Anyway, bottomline it has potential but I do not know that we can do anything at this point other than worry and hope.

American Dream suspended on the eve of American Independence
For aspiring immigrants ,4th of July is not just a holiday and fireworks but a promise of all good things that are American , which comes to those who follow the law , live by her rules and wait patiently for their turn to be called Americans.
Patience is not just a virtue but a way of life for thousands of Legal immigrants who have been living in the US for a number of years . Besides the everyday stress of Job,Mortgage,Health and education of their children they live with the added suspense of when their application for permanent residency ,commonly
referred as "Green card" will move ahead from its deep slumber.
To apply for a employment based "Green Card" , a employed worker's company needs to fulfill the
requirements of the DOS/USCIS and the date the application is received by the department is referred to as the "priority Date". A movement of a month keeps the hopes and spirits high of the applicants and their families and a couple of months is sheer joy. In 2004 there was a negative trend of retrogression of
the applications in queue and the dates moved back instead of moving front. It implied a waiting period of a couple of years at the minimum. So midway of the application process everything stalled, all eyes turned towards the senate and the house hoping they would mediate and provide respite to this broken situation. Nothing happened and so we waited for the much anticipated CIR as it was told to us that a comprehensive immigration reform will address the situation of the legal immigrants also besides its main agenda to solve the issue of illegal immigrants in this country.
The CIR died , then mid June the USCIS came up with a bulletin announcing that it will start accepting applications for adjustment of status for all employment based applicants and their dependents ..From then on it was a scramble to fulfill a long list of requirements to be able to apply on time. The first task was
for my husband to convince his HR to sponsor the process. Since they had already budgeted for the fiscal year and are on a spending freeze , it took a lot of convincing . The HR complied and gratefully we set out to get our Medical exams(at own cost of 150*2).Since we live in a small state with few doctors we
drove 2 hours to a neighboring state to get them on time. Being a mother of 3 small kids, I could not work on important paper works with them around. So after putting them to bed we spent the entire night pulling out the required documents from archives and placing them in order; numerous phone calls to parents
back in India to collect their date of birth, place of birth information and completed the questionnaire. Got passport pictures(60$) and mailed it all to our lawyers praying it will be one of the first to reach the department office on start of business on July 2nd..little did we suspect that this was nothing but adding insult to the injury plan by the honorable DOS.. They had already prepared a rude
shock when they released a bulletin update on July 2nd stating that they will not accept any applications as they had already allocated all the visas for the current fiscal year in a unprecedented action.
This has left thousand of families like us confused, saddened and in the middle of nowhere.
We are raising families here, our everyday life is no different from any other AMERICAN middle class family with same expectations and hopes, so its not easy to presume that we can pull out or get out of this situation and return to our home countries . We still have faith in the constitution and the spirit of this country and preserve faith that this wrongdoing will be reversed and we will get the opportunity to achieve what we have waited for years in a long queue, abiding by the law and fulfilling all requirements to the
tee..
On the eve of America�s independence let justice prevail and urge the congress and the STATE department to undo this monstrous decision of USCIS ..
God bless America.

Hi everyone, I have been approved on 9/6/7.
only 92 days after AOS filing.
My sponsor, I did work with them from 2002-2007. They agree to file i-485 in the hopes economy would get better. However house builders are doing very bad now and they cannot take me back after approval.
The question is, does this spoiled my chances for citizenship?

Ombudsman:
Get your facts straight. "Undocumented" does not mean a person who has "lost" his documents....it means a person about whom there is no record (i.e. documentation) at the USCIS/Dept. of State. A legal immigrant would not become out of status just because he lost his documents or they were destroyed in a flood or fire because there are typically copies and records available at the employer, the IRS, the Social Security Administration and the USCIS. A person who has all his documents would still be classified as illegal if he or she overstays their visa.
Anyways....please do not try to hijack this thread in a different direction than what is intended. After a series of hearing by the strongly enforcement only leaning house questioning each and every aspect of the CIR with negative connotations, finally, there is a hearing organized by Senator John Cornyn, who was instrumental in getting the SKIL bill included in the CIR focusing on something positive and fairly non-controversial in the CIR/SKIL/PACE bills and that directly affects all of us legal, documented, high skilled immigrants.
SO, to bring the thread back to its original intended path...Are there any members in the Dallas or nearby areas who would be interested in attending the hearing, please contact himanshu at immigrationvoice.org The hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.

possible reason for mysterious rejections :
You are a mail room guy, you go home friday (06/29) and comeback on monday (06/02).
You start the monkey business of timestamping incoming mail, but half an hours into the day (around 8 or 9:00 am), you realize "sshhttt: i did not change the date on my stamp, its still read 06-29-2007". In the classical govt. fashion, you do not bother to go back and restamp the applications with the correct datetime. Not because you are evil, but because you simply don't understand the ramifications of early stamping. You think u are doing the guy a favor, putting him/her early in line.. but guess what... the guy's application is gonna get rejected.
Could this be the case with some apps mysteriously being rejected?
WAAV GREAT LOGIC!!!! HOW COME I CANT THINK THIS WAY TO SOLVE THIS MISTERY. WAAV GENIUS IS HERE. YOU THE MAN. MAN U R VERY SMART. THATS IT. THATS HOW IT HAPPENED. UR IQ MUST BE VERY HIGH. :mad:

[QUOTE=austingc;1967464][[I]QUOTE=sammas;1967354]Probably the RFE might be related to photos not being sent. A friend of mine received a RFE for not sending the photos eventhough they are not required to be sent but he did not get any Biometrics notice.
Austingc,
What do you mean by lost in the email? What are you referring to here? I am sorry, I did not get what you are trying to mention here.
The RFE was to send the photographs. Online status also was changed to Request For Evidence and then once the photos were sent the status was changed back to resumed processing and after that the status was changed to Approved. Hope it is clear now.
Didn't you mention your friend did not receive biometrics notice? What I meant was he might not have received the biometrics notice to appear for finger print and photos. Thatswhy I said may be lost in the mail, since he did not appear for biometrics, USCIS issued an RFE to send photographs. Are you clear now?

Today, I filed an official complaint with IRS about this employer. They told, they are going to send a notice asking the employer to reply to the tax bearer within 10 days from the receipt of the letter. I don't know how the employer is going to react and if they would still provide a corrected W2. Hoping, they would provide, otherwise I would have to call IRS again after another 2 weeks time. I had to be on the phone line for almost 30 mins to reach the IRS customer representative. It is a real pain.

My wife is applying H1B this April 1st against 2007 year general quota and via regular process (not Premium Processing).
Currently she is on H4 with valid I797 (expiry date end of Oct 2007) and expired visa on her passport (June 2006).
She plans to visit India this June and get H4 visa stamp on sometime June 2nd week. She will be returning sometime end of August.
Do you see any problem in visiting India and getting H4 visa stamp (based on the current I797 or I may get an extension by June) while H1B application is pending? What will happen to the H1B approval as it will have current I-94 number? Do we need to go again to India and get stamping after October 1st for H1B?
Or need to wait until August for H1B approval and get the H1B visa stamping instead of getting H4 stamping on June?
Please clarify. Thanks and appreciate your reply.

Hmmmm! if i understand correctly 7%- 8% interest is given on FIXED deposit (of Rs 50 lakhs or more ) for 5 or more years i.e person gets money after 5 years. How will the person meet expenses for first 5 years ?
This also means he can never buy a house ? I guess how many families would never want to own a house ?
