Eb3India,
You make very good points.
Actually a lot of folks who are beyond 6 years are themselves to blame to some extent. We did not realize that its a long process and the sooner you start the better it is.
Here's the deal. The GC process takes 4 years on average if you are from India/China. Some ppl get it it in 3 years. Some get it in 5 years. The systems is built in a way that it has to take at least 3 years. Back when labor processing used to take 2 years (1yr state + 1yr federal), the rest took 1-2 years. Now labor is really fast and the dates are retrogressed.
So, now it will take 6 months to get labor and then 2+ years of waiting for dates to become current then processing for 1 year. So about 4 years.
Off course some of us got the short end of the stick when cases got shipped to BEC's and labor took 4 instead of 2 years. and then some people are stuck in retrogression after getting out of BEC's. Its all about knowing the entire game before getting into it. I kick myself for not starting the process sooner.
So, your options are 1) Labor subs 2) Go to India and come back as L1 3) Fight the system 4) Do nothing and wait.
look I have been here for 10 years and I kick my self everyday for not getting card, if I played my cards right I should have been worrying about citizenship now :)
many of are here for good reasons of our own deed and situations which are beyound our control, 9/11, immigration politics etc. the best way to get around this either to follow some lope hole such as labor subst, L1 etc, or fight the system thru IV, or just simply wait,
complaining that someone else is getting greencard is nothing but childesh and I hate to say this as it comes from a "Highly educated" guy like who did is MS from US :D

I have used AC21 and have not sent a letter yet to USCIS as it is optional and that is what my attorney recommended...that is to wait for an RFE (I have changed address as I moved to a diff. state; chances of an RFE increases)
That said, I am wondering that with a G28 representation on the files with USCIS, if I send a AC21 letter all by myself (without attorney), will it be honored by USCIS ? I am comtemplating of doing this as I wanted to prempt the RFE thereby saving precious time (when date is current) and the money that I would have to pay my attorney when the RFE reaches him (I would rather he reply to an RFE but want to give my best to avoid it)
any ideas ?

I am still waiting for my card, but I received a FP notice yesterday. I think I'll get my card once I am done with my FP.
Thats great. Atleast something is happening. On your welcome notice, did it say that you'll need new finger prints? My welcome notice said I'll get my card in 3 weeks, did not mention anything about FP.

I received an RFE too in Nov 1st week. It was about the evaluation. (It was submitted earlier but still) Lawyer mailed them the required document and now the status has changed to "We received your response to the request on Nov 14th and the case processing has resumed".
How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)
lookin at the approvals i think it will take anywhere from 1-3 months

Noone is forcing them to be ehre - you are saying. And I am saying: nobody should be forcing them out, either. They are ehre because they want to be here and because they want to discuss something with other people who are here - administrative problems or philosohpical issues.
'You should trust the organization in what they do' - you are saying. The organization should not be perceived as an abstract, 'know-it-all' deity that we, tiny humans have to blidnly follow. The organization is us collectively and we should not be following it, but leading it or at least taking it somewhere. Sometimes the road is straight and goes forward, sometimes there seem to be multiple roads that need exploring which may or may not coverge again. Sometimes the journey is not continuous and you need to stop, consult a map or a compass and realing yourself. There is nothing wrong with that. There should never be blind trust because that will sooner or later drive us all down the cliffs.
'If you have ideas talk to the core and discuss with them in person' - that is exactly what we are doing. Throwing around ideas and discussing them amongst ourselves. Sometimes the discussion is easy and disciplined and constructive and sometimes it is hard and confrontational and destructive. I think that if it is too confrontational or too destrcutive that indicates that not all is well within the group - I would refrain from calling it an organization just yet - and the ideas are not mature or ready yet and/or the group is not really cohesive and it is really not one group. Both of which are problems that need to be addressed and dealt with. By stifling discussion and censoring out ideas that you do not like, you are doing a disservice to the entire group because the group has to discover what is the cause of the destructive confrontation otherwise it cannot successfully function and fulfill its objectives.
For those who dont agree with what IV is doing, no one's forcing them to follow what IV does and certainly no ones forcing them to be here, but if you are here then you should at least trust the organization in what they do.
If you have ideas talk to the core and discuss with them in person or call them... i m sure they will be glad to take it up if the idea benefits everyone and not just me or you... breaking off driving folks in different direction is not the solution, it will snow ball into a big problem.

Hey, I just added this one line to the composed content and sent it to KXAN news Austin to a immigrant reporter who highlighted legal immigrant document woes (for Mexicans though) yesterday night. He replied quite promptly.
Added content:
Would you and your station be kind enough to highlight our plight? We may not be 12 million in numbers but we do contribute in dollars the same number on a daily basis
Reply from Matt Flener:

Surendra,
Be assured I received your email and REALLY want to follow-up with you. I would love to highlight your story. I will try and give you a call this weekend, or Monday at the latest. Thank you for your email.
</snip>
If I do get a call this weekend, it would be nice to receive support from like-minded people in Austin. We could meet him at Coffee Shop or at my apartment. Alternatively, if he agress to interview via telephone, then I would love to include one from immigrationvoice core itself to highlight the woes more appropriately.
Let me know and by the way thanks for composing..
Great job friend! Thanks!

Not sure if anyone experienced this, but on 2 computers this site, antivirus software detected a virus & my work PC (protected with McAfee) is not booting up, IT said my hard drive has been corrupted. My laptop survived with a freeware anti virus. Please don't give me reds, this is what happened to me, I just wanted to warn any unprotected members of IV.

Since I am older and wiser now, I can easily take them.
Yes, I must correct myself. It is not 525 (even though that is what the ever hurrying radio talk show hosts said).
That's even better. Percentage wise it is now 300/435. How about that?
I was away this morning for a big community project that I am involved in. I wanted to round that off with a morning brunch with the Congressman I quoted, but couldn't pull it off. I had met Mr. Mark Udall a couple of times in Friendship and Business Chamber get together in Denver, CO. He is a fine gentleman.
I prey his words come true at the earliest. Got to go. Have to mow the lawn, as per home minister/ interior secretary.
Bye. Ciao.
I guess so .... but we should give learning01 the benefit of doubt given that learning01 is in a way the eyes and ears of IV.... keeping track of what's happening in the media.
That was a genuine slip (of no real consequence) and I definitely commend you on your efforts learning01!!

Well they will ask for police clearence form every country where u have stayed for 6 months or more after age of 18.
So if he/she stayed for less than 6 months in singapore then its not even needed
It is more than 6 months...and they started asking for Singapore Police Certs in early or mid 2005, before that they would check those out themselves..they may well still do that but ask for them inadvance now.

I guess when it comes to GC processing, NOTHING is really "wrong" is it? If you get a chance to work around and beat the long lines, I guess "It's all good". Some people are lucky that they get a chance to get Labor Sub, some ppl marry the GC and some ppl like the rest of us wait in line like "honest citizens".
The REAL question is, just how many of us would have refused a good labour sub, given the present conditions, solely on the basis that "it is unfair to others"? I know i would have taken it. Reason? It's LEGAL (or used to be). Our "misfortune" (if i can use that word), is that we did not get a similar chance.
For those wondering, what I am babbling about: "Let's not look down on this guy who got his GC approved by Labour Sub, or even continuously point out that he did."
Well said, No one here is going to let go an opporturnity here, if one gets one. In my case, I did NOT go in search of one, and I did not get one. So waiting in line for years. that said, If I had got an option, I would have taken advantage of it. This guy does deserves his GC. Anyway, he/she has been here since 1997 and it is a long time too.

It might be that you are the first person from this company appearing for interview and they don't have sufficient employer information.
Also when was your company got acquired?

Are there any restrictions on accepting salary-hike or salary-drop after 180 days. If so, upto what % increase/decrease is okay while changing jobs.
Please, share your thoughts.
PS:Just before filing my AOS I had promotion offer but HR/attorney said title and salary needs to be same as in LC or else it may jeopardise gc process. The max salaray increase allowed to me was 8%.
I understand after 180 days we are free to accept 'similar' jobs but how about salary increase or worst si, if salaray drops

I only have something to say, everyone is looking for its own turf, and if you really want diversity in the forum, the hard count will not attract anyone else other than Indians and Chinese. I am few months from working due to EB2- Worlwide category (current), so any change on the hard count is not on my benefit, same for anyone who is not from India or China, the EB3 is not current worlwide but the line of all the other countries is still shorter, if you really want to reach more than Indians and Chinese the goal has to be good for everyone, and the hard count is not. Thanks.
Latest update: Latina explained that the hard count doesn't affect the place in the line for the Worlwide category, it just affects the unused numbers and that this will go to other skilled workers from no worldwide categories other than to not skilled people, I am all for that, I just do not want to have to wait any longer and if Latina was correct my assumptions were mistaken.

There is no such status as "out of project". Based on the fact that you do not have a job and your employer is not paying you, you are out of status already. It is your employer's responsibility to pay you no matter you have a project or not. In fact, it is because of cases like yours that USCIS has raided those desi body shops and put them behind bars.
My advice to you is change your stauts ASAP to F-1 or if you are married, then to H4.
If the bove two options are not something you can do, please leave the country.
I already put a transfer in Oct 2008. since I am not sure about H1b approval of old company.
Its in pening status.
Out of project since one month.
Thanks

I have the letter thay gave me and proof I did work with them.
And I guess I will start keeping news paper clips because right now everyone knows how bad the real estate market is but in 5 years or more I hope USCIS remember.
