I never demanded permanent residence in the US as my right. But I have the right to have my LCA adjudicated in a reasonable time (months, not years) by the US administration. Months, not years! I am here legally, I work hard for this country, pay honestly my taxes and I am entitled to get a quick reply to my application. If it is rejected, OK! Fair enough, I will look for other opportunities.
A company invites you for an interview. You meet them over the course of a few hours and expect an offer. But they don't get back to you. So do you keep waiting forever for that phone call? Or do you assume that you didn't get the job and move on?
We HAVE a choice of going back to our home country: if some of us (me included) choose not to take it, it's because we think the GC will more than compensate for the opportunities we are losing currently.
Don't get me wrong: the US government should fix the broken immigration system. American citizens would never tolerate the tardy service we suffer at the hands of the DOL/USCIS. But in not "voting with our feet" we are part of the problem. Just imagine, if a substantial fraction of H1 visa holders left the US tomorrow (and quoted the backlogs as the cause) wouldn't that get more attention than all our efforts so far?

It is good idea. I discussed this my lawyer and according to him, nowadays USCIS is very strict about it and trying to match the requirements of EB2 against the candidate's credentials. If it perfectly matches only they will approve. It will be an option for those guys with EB3 with PD past 2005 and with enough EB2 credentials, primarily a masters degree and if it from US, then great.
Please do not go into this option just by stating that I have 100 years experience with such and such company. I will say, if your are a masters degree holder (from US the best) and is employed with a major employer for more than 3-5 years, then only attempt this. Do not try it if you are employed with some Desi company. This is harm both the candidate and the employer.
My two cents worth!!!
Please do not quote from memory, if this has happened in specific cases,mention the details with the OES/SOC Code. In most cases, EB2-Job requirement: Bachelors+5 years.
Any EB3 pre 2008(post 485) should be able to use it.Please check with your attorneys and not 2 cents. And, especially, scared guys like the above, saying that it will harm you to go to EB2.
If you are pending 485, even if ur new I-140 gets revoked, does it matter if you have the older I-140.
Regards,
Amar.

You should read that RonGothers thread - he is strongly of the opinion that maintaining H1B status while AOS is pending is useless. Moreover, it seems like USCIS can revoke your remaining H1B when they deny AOS application basically kicking you out of the country immediately. Now as a practical matter, I don't think they are doing that anyway. So guys, once you burn up your 6 year H1B, there is no real strong cushion if 485 gets denied. To heck with these laws. Stupid and irritating.
I agree, casinoroyale. Confusing, they are! I have actually read Ron Gotcher's column but then this thread came along :)

Another way to look at this issue is get rid of rule not permitting GC holders to bring their spouses into the country,if marriage happens after GC.
This is something that needs to be fixed.Why cant there be a K-Visa or something using which spouses can be brought in.Why a Citizen is allowed to file a K visa to get their spouse and GC holders are punished for getting married. Any GC holder is in path to Citizenship in 5 years-dont see any logic in this rule.
This is a morally wrong and stupid thing which needs to be fixed ASAP.

221g means that additional processing is required - It can take about a month to get the visa stamp after you submit the docs. Did you submit the additional documents which were requested?

Increasing of visa number will help every one including who are waiting for I 485. More visa number will make priority date move. How come they are not interested?
Suppose IV decides not to focus on I-485 filing but some other issue. By this analogy, all members with interest in I-485 will leave.

I am not sure if this can be a good defense for ability to pay issues. Employer's revenue/profits drive the number of employees that can be sponsored for GC. It is not everyone or no one scenario.

speaker pelosi is the head of the house of representatives (Lok Sabha) with Steny Hoyer serving as majority leader in the House and Senator Reid is the majority leader of the Senate (Rajya Sabha). The president of the senate is the VP
Both have floor schedules and have issues that need to be debated on. the bill has to pass in both houses..either with the exact same wording or alternate text that will be reconciled in conference committee

It's because you, me, or any temporary legal immigrant will go back home if some law changes, and new batch of H1 B people will come in to fulfill industry requirement, but for illegal, route from South America is a one way street to USA and no going back. Plus, if temporary legal immigrants leave, US Govt. got to keep all our social security, retirement saving etc. if you think from their angle (US govt.), I guess for them, it makes more sense to legalize illegal (so at-least govt. can get some share of money from their taxes) because no matter what govt. do, illegal are never going to go back.
I just don't understand one basic question.
Congress is trying to pardon 12 million illegals as a one time measure and give them Green Cards. (OK - Very good)
On the other hand we are about half a million who entered the country legally and helping the U.S. economy and paying taxes. Why don't they consider giving all of us Green Cards as a one time measure too ?????

Thanks everyone for being patient and supporting us. The work is happening at all ends and it is an uphill task.
We really need to increase our membership. Higher membership will mean us looking tall when we meet lawmakers. Please all try to help us spread the word of IV to everyone you know that is stuck in retrogression. We represent at least half million people but we currently not even have 6 thousand members. Thus we have to bring lot many people into IV. I would encourage everyone to pls. register on this forum instead of being visitors.
Pls try to help us increase our membership in your own capacity, in any way you can. This is something everyone on this forum can help us with.

I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...
The name says exactly what we are doing. I think it is right the way it is.

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.

Canada is a great country, I am sure there are plenty of good trash cans all around the country, surely they can hold a small litte I94.
Or how about getting your I 94 framed and selling it on ebay?
Relax..............have a great future in Canada...
Dude, You can use I-94 card as a toilet paper when you take the very first exit in Canada. You are leaving for good! Do not worry about it. Meanwhile, congratulations for taking this bold step and moving to Canada after 6 years of H1-B. I wish you well.
It's ridiculous how people start to bad mouth everything related to US once they get a PR from another country, especially Canada. It�s like kicking off the same ladder that you used for climbing.
1. You gained entry into US with the �toilet paper�.
2. The �toilet paper� allowed you stay legally in this country.
3. The legal stay enabled you to apply for Canadian PR from Canadian Consulate General in Buffalo where the processing time is less than 2 years.
4. The legal stay enabled you to earn sufficient funds which you showed as proof of funds in your application papers.
5. The legal stay enabled you to get police clearance certificates from FBI and also from your country�s consulate in US.
Now let�s say you didn�t have this �toilet paper� and applied for Canadian PR for India.
1) You would only be eligible to apply from Canadian Consulate General in NewDelhi where the processing time is more than 5 years.
2) If you are from a middle class background, then you would have a hard time in providing the proof of funds for a family of 4, with your earnings from India.
3) You would have to grease the palms of police to get police clearance certificates and they are gonna take their own sweet time to provide you these documents.
Now be thankful that you got away from all these with the �toilet paper�. And remember that you are leaving to Canada not because of your love for the country, but because you didn�t get your US GC on time. Sour grapes, huh?
I know that i will be getting red dots for this post from hypocrites and I don't give a damn about it. All I can say to them is "Instead of pressing your finger against the mouse, press it against your forehead and think about the benifits that you milked from this country".
