    Hi Rubaru,
    congrats!
    Did you wait for 6 months after opening the first SR?
    I got that reply letter from USCIS.



    Hi All,
    I received the CPO email yesterday.My case details are PD : Dec 2004, 485 RD : Aug 6th 2007(I140 Filed concurrently),EB2 India.140 was approved on Tuesday.

    I140 was pending from 2007.When my attorney followed up in feb this year,USCIS gave the standard reply of waiting for 6months.After that they said,they will update in 10 days.They didn't update even after that and then i moved it to premium processing on Sept 28th.

    Took 2 info passes in Septembter(regd i140 mainly).First one was not of much help though the officer told my 485 is assigned to IO on Sept 8th.Second time it was different officer and she was very helpful.Tried looking why my 140 is getting delayed but she said ,if she opens my file then 485 file will go back to review queue as it is currently being reviewed by Sept 18th.So she didn't recommend doing that.I didn't open any SR after my first experience of 6 months waiting(without an result!!!)

    Before 485 approval day(i.e Tuesday) i called IO TSC Center but he doesn't know anything when i mentioned that my PD is Dec 2004 & that my case is current from last month.,he told my PD is the RD of 485.I thought no point in arguing with him and hung up.After that i was preparing to send mails to Senator but got the approval before that.


    Anyway,happy that it finally got approved .I am waiting on my wife's approval thought

    There are a few praises about Jet Airways in previous posts.

    Let me set the record straight. They have miles to go before they start claiming themselves as "world class" international airline.

    I was on vacation past 2.5 weeks to India and here is my experience.

    Regarding Jet Airways poor customer service:

    On return, my Jet Airways flight from Rajkot (Gujarat) to Mumbai was delayed by 2 hours. Its only a 55 minute flight from Rajkot to Mumbai. Because of this, my connection of Delta airlines from Mumbai to New York was missed. Delta gave me a seat on plane the next day. Same flight - but a day after. So now, I was stuck in Mumbai, with huge luggage for 24 hours. I asked Delta for Hotel accomodation. They said, its not their fault and its Jet Airways fault and I should ask them for Hotel.

    I went to Jet Airways customer service in Mumbai airport. They said that they cant find a single room in Mumbai due to some exhibition/conference going on at the time. A major international airline, shooting for stars, cant find a Hotel room in a city as big as Mumbai. Frustrated, I went to a government agency office (IATA I think) and they said that they dont have anything nearby, but can arrange something 30 kilometers away, and it was a sub-standard hotel and room. I paid out of my own pocket and stayed there a night. It was Rs 2000 (about $50) for this hotel plus taxi.

    The next day, before boarding Delta flight, I went to Jet Airways office again and told them that I found a hotel room on my own and see if they can re-imburse me for the hotel expenses. If they had paid themselves in Hyatt or Grand Meridian outside airport, it would have been more anyways. The manager of Jet Airways said that they cannot do it and I should scan the reciepts and my boarding pass and email customersupport at jetairways.

    An hour before this happened, the office didnt even have anyone in charge in office (at about 7:00 PM). The agent said, the manager isnt here. I asked, "who's in charge", and she said "No one is in charge right now, you have to come back at 8:00 when manager comes in".

    What I am saying is, Jet Airways has miles to go before it can take pride. Just starting flights to Newark, Chicago doesnt make it a great airline. Neither does good food. Treat customers well, and atleast do a better job than government offices when it comes to locating hotel rooms for stranded passengers who are stranded due to their fault.

    Mumbai Airport security harrassment :

    My flight was just past midnight and I checked out of hotel at noon. (I had to). With 12 hours and nothing to do, I headed to Mumbai airport. At the airport, they dont let you inside the building unless you are a passenger. The security guard at the door said that I need to come back at 9:00 PM and I cant go into the airport right now as my flight is at night. I told him that I am not coming to airport to enjoy the lounge and I am stranded due to missed airline connection. He didnt listen. I was sitting outside the building until about 8:00 PM with all luggage.

    Now I understand that security is important, but what's the point in stopping someone and letting them inside only 4 hours prior. Because if there is a nefarious person planning something bad, what can he/she do in 10 hours that he/she cant do in 4 hours. How does it enhance security by limiting the presence of passengers inside airport? Well, you cant argue with knuckleheads.

    Inside airport, I ran into a German lady and a guy from Netherlands and both of them were in the airport since the afternoon. They said they argued and they were let in. Basically, the Indian security forces at the airport wont argue with Europeans and will let them inside the airport but will go extra lengths to harrass people that they are comfortable harrassing - their own people.

    So we can ignore London airport. Fine. Are we also going to ignore Mumbai airport now?

    The best way to avoid harrassment is to stand up and fight it. Because avoiding this airport and that airline is not going to cut it.

    I had similar issues with Delhi airport security. I was supposed to take Aeroflot from Delhi and departure time was around 9:00 in the morning. Went to the airport around 6:30AM. Only passengers are allowed to enter the airport. The security guard looked at my ticket and let me in. I went through security check; wait in front of Aeroflot counter for hours. All in a sudden, Aeroflot said the flight has been delayed and departure time would be 7:00PM. They denied taking luggage or issuing boarding passes. I didn’t want to stay in the airport for that long. So took all my luggage with me, left the airport, got a taxi and went to a hotel.

    Checked-out of the hotel, came back to the airport around 4:15PM. The security guard wanted to see my ticket before he would let me in. He looked at it and said your flight is delayed till 11:45PM. Come back 3 hours prior to 11:45PM. I saw white people getting inside the airport without being asked any questions. I politely told him I would want to check with Aeroflot myself but he wouldn’t let me in. He told me with a very rude tone to call Aeroflot from outside phone. I also told him that I had to leave the airport in the morning once with all my heavy luggage and I will really appreciate if he could kindly let me in so that I wouldn’t have basically stand on the street with all those luggage. He was very hostile and didn’t let me in!

    It’s sad how these security guards abuse their power so much and treat South Asian looking people like trash.

    Its a no brainer (enter on AP) and you definitely have to talk to attorney

    Krithi: Can you please let me know how to go to Adv Parole side. Although we have had them but have never used them before. So I need to guide my wife towards this AP area.

    So in order to show or use AP my wife has to go and line up in the visa queue OR she has to go to Permanent Resident/Citizens side and from there they will route to this AP check/processing area. Please advise.

    Sorry with my fundamental questions but I have never used my APs till now.

    Krithi kindly reply or anybody else who can help with my questions/clarification mentioned above kindly help me.

    Thanks a lot
    Best Regards,

    Hi,

    I whole heartedly support this campaign and will be doing my bit too. just a few thoughts:

    1. In the draft letter to president, the line "Reinstate premium processing of
    Immigrant Petitions." is a bit ambigous and dosent specify which petition.
    Shouldnt it read "Reinstate premium processing of I-140 Immigrant Petitions."
    2. Also shouldnt the goals be in the order of ease of acheivability. Many of the
    more difficult (though more powerful) goals are at the top wheras items like
    reinstating I-140 premium proessing are at the bottom.

    What do you folks think..?

    I received the same thing. A canned reply asking to use their phone lines for inquiries. They returned my original envelope as well as my letter :rolleyes:
    No responses from anyone else.

    I am thinking that we should do something like have IV attorneys look into this PIMS delas and we should may be do another letter campain? (strictly speaking, I know this cannot become an agenda item for IV).

    If this trend with PIMS continues (which is what it looks like), sooner or later it may affect a lot of people on H1b month after month who are going for visa stamping. With priority dates retrogressed badly this will become another pain point.

    Who in IV do we have to run this by?

    thx

    Finally, we got the approval emails for self & wife.

    I had got an email from TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov last friday (09/17/2010) with the update below-

    1: The review was complete
    2: Visa numbers were requested 2 months ago and all security/prints are current
    3: Files have been forwarded to officers for completion.

    In my case the email to SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov helped a lot. They in turn sent an email to TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov to step up the processing.

    As others have mentioned IV has played a big part throughout this journey. Thank you again.

    Congratulations ski_dude. Your long wait is finally over!

    Is it ok to attach documents to these e-mails to TSC?

    Everything coming out of USCIS is a "I-797 Notice of Approval" :) and AP is no exception.

    I am far from getting one myself but have seen colleague's approvals - this is printed on the same form like the H1 approval. Whether you subsequently need a stamp on the passport I don't know.

    Hey Guys,
    Can you please tell me in what form you get your advance parole (AP)? Is it like a Visa stamp on your passport or is it a temperory card like the EAD?
    Thanks
    Lasantha

    Dear XXXXXX XXXXX,

    As per our recent emails, thank you for agreeing to decrease your usage. Please note that your account will continue to be monitored for usage for 7 days and that you can track your minutes (combined domestic & international) from your Online Account under the Monthly Usage Summary in the Billing section. Should we see that the usage continues to be inconsistent with normal use, we would then have to take action on the account. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Service section 5.4. 5.4 Inconsistent with Normal Use. If you use the service or the device in a way that is inconsistent with the normal use for your service or plan, you will be required, at Vonage's sole discretion, to pay the rates for the service or plan that would apply to the way you used the service or device, or terminate the plan. For example, if you subscribe to one of our residential service plans, and your usage is inconsistent with normal residential use, you may thereafter be required to pay our applicable, higher rates for commercial service for all periods in which your use of our service or the device was inconsistent with normal residential use.

Lack of continuous dialog activity, unusual call patterns, excessive numbers and/or consistent excessive usage (i.e., More than 5,000 minutes per line per month for unlimited residential calling and/or more than 10,000 minutes per line per month for unlimited small business calling), will be considered indicators that use may be inconsistent with normal use, or that impermissible use may be occurring and may trigger an account review by us. The creation or use of related multiple accounts or excessive residential lines to circumvent these levels shall also be considered indicators that use of the service may be inconsistent with normal use for the subscribed monthly plan(s) and may trigger an account review by Vonage. Failure to contact Vonage in response to its notifications and/or failure to promptly correct usage activity to conform to normal use will result, in Vonage's sole discretion, in immediate mandatory transfer to another appropriate plan, suspension or termination of service.

    Admin: If you like you may please close this thread.
    Final update on this issue.

    Here is what I have been told. Please feel free to check with AILA or your lawyer. They may have more info.

    In general, if an employer applies for a permanent labor certification for an individual with the Department of Labor (DOL), while DOL has already certified one or more positions with same or different employer for the same individual , it will be subjected to more scrutiny to prevent any fraud.

    Thank You and Good Bye!
    Happy Porting !

    Guys,

    Conflicting opinions are welcome and necessary. However, pls let us eliminate the mudslinging that gets personal so quickly, just because we disagree.

    From a practical point of view, given the situation today, getting doors open for citizenship looks remote: True.

    However, in a land of immigrants, We The Legal, can stress a case for fairness. Just because we were born in a certain country and were classified by the law, the lawyer and the employer, sometimes unfairly, to be in a certain category, does not mean that we'll get into mainstream 15 years after others.

    This is why we are a part of IV. There have been past successes with IV.
    Pls let us TRY.

    I am an ex British Airways employee, and I spent one year in 1997 living in London city. Please understand that the level of customer service one gets in USA, is just a dream in UK. Mishandling customers, showing a complete arrogant behavior, and a total disregard for their basic customer rights are just a few business traits in UK. I witnessed couple of BA strikes at Heathrow, and beleive me after what I saw, I will never travel with any british airline in future. You are lucky that you just saw a tip of the iceberg and came to your conclusions. It starts from their embassy, and continues throught the airlines, security checks, baggage handling, staff etc.

    I like your comments about Koh-i-noor. If it was any other country, they would have happily returned it to the country where it genuinly belong. Oh by the way, during my stay at UK, I had to remind their couple of citizens about what exactly the phrase "Be British" means.
