Called one more time using the POJ method to NSC... This was probably the most fruitful call to NSC in the last 7-8 odd times i have called them.
Someone called Terry answered the call... Hats off to this lady...If there is a way i would want to recommend this lady for a promotion and make her the project manager for all the rest of the IOs who answer the call!!!
My case PD is 1/15/05, filed at TSC, transferred to NSC in Mar 08, applied AC 21 in Aug 08 and did biometrics in Feb 09.
Information i received on my case from this call:
1. This lady got my receipt#, checked details and history on my case, let me know that the case is preadjudicated (she defined preadjudication before that)
2. and then, told me that the case is NOT in storage area.
3. She mentioned that preadjudicated cases are held in an area called exams area and my case is currently on its way from exams area back to the officer who had preadjudicated my case earlier in Oct 2008.
4. She then checked my wife's file to see if that is also with my case just to make sure that file is not lost etc and confirmed that both files are together.
5. She also mentioned that nothing else needs to be done right now for my case as it is already on its way back to IO.
Thanks to know that there is atleast one person at NSC who understands what we are going thru' and is willing to atleast provide some details...

Below are the list that I have from my lawyer to prepare my I-485 :
1. for Evidence of status you need a Copy of Last Entry I-94
non immigrant arrival/departure record, showing your admission
to the US and current status. (Front and back, make sure the date is
clear to see)
2. To show that you are always in status while you are in US you will need
Copies of all immigration related documents from USCIS
(such as I-20, OPT, H1B, H4 approval notice, or other status)
3. Copy of Birth Certificate
(need translate & notarize if not in English)
4. Copy of Marriage Certificate if you are married
(need translate & notarize if not in English)
5. Copy of Passport pages with non immigrant visa
(including all passports you have used since the last entry you need to
copy all the stamp you had on the passport. Again this is to show the
last time your in you US and to make sure you are always in status)
6. I-693 (Medical Exam)
(You can dial 1-800-375-5283 to choose the physician list)
you will required to show a proof that you have take MMR, Varicella, Tetanus and hepatitis B
if you can't show any proof they will required you to take it on their office and it will cause you quite a lot money ( you can take
the vaccine earlier on your family/ regular dr. office and could get covered by you insurance) it could save you $300 per person.
the mandatory test you have to take at their office is tb test, blood test
for HIV and syphilis and regular phisical test. once you have all vaccine
and the mandatory test they should gave you the seal envelope to send to USCIS along with your other document and they will give you a copy as well.
7. If you apply for your family member you will need
I-134 (Affidavit of Support) stamp by Notary for each family member
8. Employment Verification Letter
Employement letter on the letter head of the petitioning employer
which confirms that the job on which visa petition is based is still
available to you. The letter must also state the salary that will be paid.
9 . Photos (2*2 color front-view passport photos)
*2 for each I-485, additional 2 for each I-131,
additional 2 for each I-765
10 Fee Payment made to USCIS (1 per applicant)
$325 for each I-485 filing fee
$70 for each Fingerprint fee
$170 for each I-131 filing fee (if apply for Advance Parole)
$180 for each I-765 filing fee (if apply for Employment Authorization) .
Hope this list is help for those who is ready preparing their document.

I am july 2nd filer, got my receipt numbers by calling USCIS. My data was entered in their system on Oct 5th. I called them today and the Immigration Official gave them. I also filed for my wife, but still her information is not yet there in the system. My application went to NSC, signed by R.Mickels at 9:01 AM, but transferred to TSC as my receipt number starts with SRC.
Good Luck to everybody else who yet to receive the receipts...

Sorry to hear this, but what is the violation you are referring to. I thot, L1s can be employed in the US on client projects by consulting companies, big or small. Sorry if i dont understand the visa rules here
Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to the forum (as a member), I have been browsing the same for quite some time and found it a good source of information regarding immigration related activities. Right now I am getting removed from my project as one of the top 3 Indian outsourcing firm is dumping their L1 resources at my client site and replacing all the citizens, GCs, EADs, H1 etc. These resources are used in projects managed and controlled by my client (most of them are consulting assignments) and these resources are used on java/.net/oracle projects, these two are violations of L1 visa restrictions set by USCIS, I want to know how and where to complain against this violation and we have all evidence to prove the same (project documents, time sheets, work assignments etc). Please let me know exactly and to which agencies we should complain.
Thanks in Advance,
Srini

Please dont use google it is a waste of time - FBI uses its own databases and looks for 'hits' in terms of derogatory information.
Instead lobby for the following:-
1) USCIS should have the authority to ask FBI as to why the namecheck is taking so long and provision to expediate name check if it is has been pending for more than 'x' number of years (probably 2 or 3 i guess).
2) FBI should provide a reason for the delay. Most of the time (80%) the delay is simply because they dont have the time to open your file.
3) Procedure to Pay $500-$1000 to expediate NC (1 week) with a yes or No result. this will all allow FBI to obtain resources to process NCs faster
NC is the next bottle neck that we have to lobby for.
Asking USCIS to expedite the NAME CHECK only after 2 years is UNACCEPTABLE!! NameChecks should have resolution within 3 months. Its a security issue.
It is the USCIS which initiates the NAMECHECK process and it also has expanded the scope of NAMECHECK increasing the backlog. So, we need to go after USCIS and should NOT PAY more in this INEFFICIENT process!

FYI to those who have been affected.... I found the below when searching the internet about this PIMS verification. Looks like AILA is working to improve this system.
AILA members should report any delays greater than 48 hours attributed to PIMS to reports@aila.org, SUBJECT: PIMS Delays. Please see InfoNet Doc. No. 07121070 for more details. Such reports will enable the committee to present any evidence of widespread problems if they exist.

After we landed, the passengers were asked to exit the aircraft along with their carry bags. Many of us were puzzled as some of us wanted to catch up with our sleep. Reluctantly everyone had to leave the aircraft. Someone was saying there is another aircraft waiting to take us to India. Makes sense, that is why they asked us to take our cabin bags too. After we entered the building we were asked to take the left door. Behind the right door was a waiting room. A couple of turns led us into a corridor which was probably about 1/2 mile long. At the end of the corridor there was security check. Again I was puzzled, why security check now, we are already in a secure area. The transit visa form with those 111 questions suddenly came in front of my eyes. Nothing less than a new complete security check will satisfy these neurotic people. It was time to go thru the exercise again. Took off the shoes, wallet, coins, Jacket, belt, pants .... when I was gently reminder by the security guard that it was not required today. When my turn came to send the items thru the machine, I complained about the fact that I have to put my jacket in a bin that was probably used earlier to keep someone�s shoes. (And you know where the shoes go. And sometimes when it gets wet, it is not necessarily because of water. The thought itself was so revolting that I decided to get my jacket dry-cleaned after I reached India). Needless to say my protest landed on deaf ears. After going thru the security gate, it was time to go thru the final check. I assumed the flying eagle's position and was quickly scanned and cleared. Beyond the security point was the shopping and restaurant area. I was bit thirsty but could not force myself to spend on a bottle of water. I was so put off by this whole experience that I did not want to spend a single cent here. We looked at the monitor to find our gate and quickly proceeded towards it. Again we walked for about half a mile or so. Things looked familiar, but I quickly brushed off the idea. At the gate we presented our credentials and were admitted into the waiting area. Then again I got a sense of d�j� vu. I soon realized it was the same freaking waiting room that I saw earlier and the same aircraft was waiting for us. We needlessly walked for more than a mile, subjected ourselves thru security check. All this for what?
After waiting for an hour we were allowed to go into the aircraft to the same seats and surrounded by the same little pieces of garbage still on the floor. I congratulated myself for not buying the water bottle and looked out of the window to say final goodbye to London. Never again! Never.
Brit's think they are born twice & superior to the world and they can do better job in security checks then Americans....or as a matter of fact then any one else in the world?
I am not saying there shouldn't be any security checks but one thing is not clear or don't understand why do we have to go through security check process when nothing has could have changed in between flight take off from US and landing at Heathrow airport..I feel the possibility of someone getting into flight after its take off is ZERO chance....
What irritates me is when I travel through AIR-INDIA (proud passenger since 2001) stopover at London is right in the middle of night..you will be in deep sleep when it stops in London for fuel refill or some s*$^ we have to get down from plane and go through security check..it's so annoying I don't know when these security checks/stunts will STOP!!

Does it work well with Home security systems Like BRINKS? How good is the call quality if you have DSL at home. I have DSL with 1.5 MBPS download. Thus the voice garbles when you are actively downloading on Internet.
It will not work in case of power failure unless you have UPS back up for your modem. You will need standard landline to work with Brinks. I would advise to get cellular backup and make that number is first number to call in case of a break in. Burglars generally cut phone line when they become aware of security system. There have been some complaints where security companies just called the landline and since you didn't answer they left a voicemail. Logically they are suppose to all cops.

Great analogy willwin, I agree with you completely! I hope people start being mature and quit their selfish motives.
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.

but it is pending with FBI since Aug 1st. Looks like they also check for fragmented names.
This is my opinion, not an advise. Use it at your own risk.
If I search my "Firstname Middlename" there are 10000 hits in google :-). And I know for sure there are few murderers , politicians and movie stars(most of them are arrested atleast once for crime or the other :-)) who have the same first name and middle name as mine back in India.Last name is what makes the full name unique.
My Namecheck was initiated Aug 4th as per TSC IO and is still pending.Looks like I am going to be waiting for a long time.

You are absolutely right. We visit Mr Oh's website several times a day to get the latest on immigration. We should credit him for being the first in alerting us about everything. If in fact USCIS comes up with a statement rejecting all aplpications filed after a certain date, I'm sure there would be thousands who would be saved by Mr. Oh's timely warning.
I dont know why everybody started to spit on ohio law firm. They just pointed out some news that they got from AILA, right? Lets hope its just a rumor and USCIS doesn't proceed with this revised thing. I am pretty sure that wont happen. Dont worry guys, but dont blame everything on ohio firm. I saw this on several other law firms too.

Look below as to what is happening in the senate congress:
source: http://www.numbersusa.com
Sen. Specter Busy Adding Massive Foreign Guestworker Program to House Enforcement Bill
Just before Christmas, an overwhelming bi-partisan majority attached strong amendment after another to H.R. 4437 before passing this tough immigration enforcement bill AND legal immigration reduction bill. Click here to read all about what the bill does and how it was passed. Senate leaders now plan to pass their own immigration bill before March. The two bills will then go into a joint Conference Committee of negotiators who will create a compromise bill that goes back to both chambers of Congress for a final vote. It is expected that Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA) will attempt to force backers of tough immigration enforcement to accept amnesty and guestworker programs as the only way that he will allow a crackdown on illegal immigration. Sen. Specter is expected to begin executing his plan this week with the hope of having it all in place for when he anticipates his committee will pass the amnesty/guestworker bill in early February. Based on his sneak efforts in November, also anticipate that Sen. Specter will slip into the bill major increases in permanent green cards. For some reason, Sen. Specter and his staff have come to believe that no matter how outrageous their efforts for creating open borders and flooding American communities with foreign workers that the public won't really pay that much attention to them. (In November, he added 350,000 permanent worker slots EACH YEAR to the Budget Reconciliation bill. Fortunately, House leaders forced every single one of those slots out of the bill before final passage.) Click here to read more

It was on Dec 2005 . Luftansa . Chennai - Frankfurt- Dallas . I was waiting for my boarding pass . I handed over my e ticket to the lady at the counter. Instead of issuing the boarding pass , she asked me about my H1B papers. I got confused . Why should I show my papers to this lady ? . Since it was my very first trip to US , I meekly showed her my papers.After that she had issued the boarding pass.
Friends, you may think I am very meek.This was not my first overseas trip. I had visited Japan previously. I didn't want to have fight with her and start my journey in bitter taste from the beginning.
Don't think only Non-Indians treat Indians shabbily. Our enemy is within.
If I happened to see that lady once again in Chennai -------
the airlines want to make sure that you have h1b stamp on ur passport. They always do.
Friends, you may think I am very meek.This was not my first overseas trip. I had visited Japan previously. I didn't want to have fight with her and start my journey in bitter taste from the beginning.
Don't think only Non-Indians treat Indians shabbily. Our enemy is within.

NewsFlash! DOS Expected to Revise July Visa Bulletin
Posted Jun 29, 2007
�MurthyDotCom
We have received news from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) that they have reliable information that the July Visa Bulletin will be revised on Monday, July 2nd, or Tuesday, July 3rd. This Visa Bulletin is expected to retrogress many of the categories that were announced as being "Current" for July. It is expected that at least some of the categories will become completely "unavailable." The reason for this is that the USCIS apparently engaged in extraordinary efforts to approve cases in June, once there was some forward movement of the Visa Bulletin. They did this to try to avoid the tide of cases expected in July. Each green card approval uses one visa number. If the numbers are all used for the year, then the DOS will issue a revised Visa Bulletin reflecting "unavailable" in the particular category or categories.

DOS Input

While there is no 100 percent assurance about this matter, we at the Murthy Law Firm were given a 95-98 percent confirmation of the expectation regarding the Visa Bulletin by a very reliable source. The most vulnerable categories, of course, are those that are typically the victims of retrogression: EB2 and EB3 for India, China, and (potentially) Mexico. If this unprecedented action should occur, it will mean is that the USCIS will reject I-485 cases based upon the anticipated Visa Bulletin revision, if it should, in fact indicate that visa numbers are not available in a particular category.
�MurthyDotCom
Legal Fight Brewing
�MurthyDotCom
There is substantial legal wrangling ongoing because of the anticipation of this unprecedented occurrence. The American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) has announced plans to file suit against the USCIS for any cases rejected due to a revised Visa Bulletin.
�MurthyDotCom
Conclusion
�MurthyDotCom
It is difficult to formulate words in reaction to this matter. So, for the time being, we will let our clients and readers know that our full sympathies are with them, as they face yet another potential disappointment. We also let them know that we have been long-time supporters and contributors to AILF and we will fully do our part to fight what comes.

Looks like they do not publish the e-mail address to contact congressman. You can send e-mail only through contact your rep system where you can send only to your local rep. If your ZIP code does not match the congressman's district, then you cannot send him the mail. Even to Judiciary committee chairman !!!!!!!!!!!
The only alternative is to send fax. I don't know how I can send so many faxes when I don't have fax at my home.
IV core: Any solution??? About 20 support messages are at stake from my side alone.
Guys,
I got these addresses in case you want to use:. I got the list from one of the forums here. If something is not OK or the list itself, please let me know and I can change it. Else to be safe, I will send these today in the next 2-3 hrs based on responses here.
Thanks,
Sri.

THE OP SEEMS TO BE AN ANTI IMMIGRANT. HE/SHE HAS NOT REVEALED THE IDENTITY AND MAY NOT BE HELPFUL - HE/SHE IS TRYING TO STIR UP SUCH DISCUSSIONS WITH SOME AGENDA WHICH WE DO NOT KNOW.
IF THE OP IS GENUINE AND SERIOUS HE/SHE MUST REVEAL IDENTITY AND HONESTLY WORK WITH THE ORGANIZATION AND UTILIZE THE RESOURCES AND HELP THE GOVT IN WORKING TO PUT THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.[/QUOTE]
Hi Chandu,
Why should I reveal my identity?? Even the ICE Investigator with whom I am working has agreed for anonymity, In case you think that I am a american guy with anti-immigrant agenda I challenge you to set up a tele-conference where I can login without revealing my identity and I can prove my intentions, nationality or what ever you want ... (except for my personal details and specific violation details). I am here to fight a violation, please don't blame if you/your organisation would be impacted by this investigation.
Regarding the process for complaining please go to the below link "http://www.ice.gov/about/investigations/contact.htm" and see the main office for your state and call the investigations office and they would provide you the contact no. for your local officer (most of the cities would have local officers, their office would be along with other customs and immigration operations) and you can contact him directly and he would provide you the details for lodging a formal complaint. Please let me know if you need any further information regarding the same.
