Then you will get GC faster though you had cut the GC line. What else...

Guys just want to appreciate the efforts by different members here. At least it gives a sense of support that you are not alone in this whole fiasco when you hear around you people getting their FP or EADs and you are left feeling frustrated and anxious.
This forum actually has become quite important and please keep on posting details and updates.
Wishing that it ends soon for all of us and ease our anxiety.
Cheers!!!!

Sri,
You are putting in great efforts. Thank you very much for the same. Highly appreciated.
Unless the baby cries and asks for food, mother does not feed the baby. Similarly congress will provide relief only if we ask for it.
Jungalee,

I am not worried about the three companies I know of , I am worried about other 3000 companies that I don't know of.
I also believe, it is not the companies that are evil. It is the system that provides the incentive. And I am trying to take away that incentive.
Any update on lawsuit, SunnySurya?
Also, would you mind sharing your PD with us? This has been asked by couple other folks as well.
Thanks and Good Luck.

Perhaps a little over-generalized.
Non-Donors like me have contributed to advocacy days. You still think we are free loaders?
not to hijack the conversation - but at some point, IV needs to distinguish between a donor, a contributor and a freeloader.
e.g. donors get access to all threads, contributors specific threads for which they have contributed and freeloaders general threads only. i guess that means setting up contributions at the thread level - not sure if thats possible right now.

The nice aspect of this article is the following part
Let's hope their protest gets results - because Americans are fortunate to have living among them people who are this ingenious, and this thoughtful of others, and this capable of channeling anger into beauty.
Yes, that's my favorite quote too.

Will you guys stop this madness atleast now?. If US started bending rules for people who send flowers, then everyone will try to manipulate the system. There is a lot of difference between the circumstances of originla gandhigiri and now. :rolleyes: That was our country back then, for crying out loud.We are in a foriegn country and the issuance of visa a previlege not a right.Why cant you guys understand this simple fact?. Now stop making fools of yourself and get a life.
That USCIS director gave a good answer. Is your pain more than those citizens of this country who gave their limbs and life for US?. :eek:
BTW, i am one of the guys who couldn't file I-485 because of this fiasco. But i understand the reality.:)
The following is the response I got from an american friend and my previous roommate who just came from vacation .
"I feel so bad about what happened with your application.
Can you send me the letter you wrote to the congress people?
If I can read it and understand it ok then I can send it myself (as a registered voter) too. "
No one is here is foolish to say that Green card is a right or no one here is saying ones life is miserable than the soldier who made sacrifices for ones country.
According to commander in chief , look what constitutes a sacrifice
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/white_house/jan-june07/bush_01-16.html
Its ridiculous on your part to compare those brave men and women in uniform to people on this forum(including me).
There is a reason why people who fought in world war II are called greatest generation.
To begin with I was not comfortable with the idea of sending flowers. But I did not call people fools. Dont be judgemental .

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 think the thread is perfectly valid and we should go for it. If someone has paid income taxes to US for 10 years, it is no mean thing. 10 years represent typcially about 25% of his/her earning life. After spending substantial percentage of one's life living in, and making contributions to, US, especially in his/her youth, the guy is more naturalised except that he does not have a citizenship card. Now how many of these guys will be able to slip back in to their own country to readjust their lives with american born and american grown kids.
I think it is not only reasonable but also humane for the government to consider the plight of such people and issue citizenship. The yardstick for qualification will have to be worked out, but Saralayar listed some of the valid parameters like
- 10 years working in US (legally)
- 40 points in social security
- no criminal record
If I may share my thoughts on yardstick, it would be like this
- 7 years of legal residence, contributions to SSN, and taxes should provide provisional GC
- 10 years of legal residence, contributions to SSN, and taxes should provide citizenship
- 7 years of legal residence post approved I-140 should provide citizenship
Most of us in this forum must have already contributed over 75K-100K to IRS over the years. I strongly believe that the govt owes more than an obligation to take care of the interests of this skilled group.

Gurus and "New" Permanent Residents,
Did any one send a streamline email to NSC and did any get a better response then the "automatic script" response that you get from NSC?
If you did get a positive response then can you share on what exactly you had in the content of the email?
Thanks.
As far as my knowledge goes, there is no streamline email for NSC. We did send emails to NSCSfollowup and SCOPPSCAT .. and got standard script response for both.

My Dear Punjabi Bretheren,
Let me help you understand why I think your question reeks not only of idiocracy, but also utter disregard for even basic moral and common sense.
You wanted to buy a home, live in it for 2 years, sell it and make money. Nothing wrong with it. But, now that the market if not favorable to you, think you are not responsible for payment, and want to foreclose. All I'm saying is you are responsible for your actions; the act of buying a house, making sure you take care of it (read the contract where it says you are to take care and maintain the house to a reasonable standard), paying your monthly mortgage, insuring your home, and paying back the loan with interest by the end of the loan term. You signed the contract. You were ready to reap profits by the sale if there was equity on the home. Likewise you are to assume responsibility of payment if the home value depreciates. This is common sense. This is how the world has been. This is what they teach you as a kid. Why in the world are you complaining about depreciation when you knew this is a possibility when you bought the house?????????????????
Foreclosing is not illegal. But in your case it is unethical. I'm not even sure if your lender will let you foreclose when you don't have a real financial burden to make regular payments. You are losing 20Gs only. I assume you are capable of paying your monthly payments. You want to relocate to get a better paying job. I do not think the lender will let you of the hook so easily. And why should they? They shouldn't. They should make you pay every single penny that you owe to them!
And your questions about returning items to the store; you prove again that your a dishonest man! No, you cannot return a used item. It is wrong. Nothing legal about it. Who told you it is legal??? Now you may go back to the store and pretend like you didn't use it, or that the item is defective, and pass it off, but that's YOU!!!! In your own little dishonest mind everything that is in normal circumstances considered wrong is perfectly fine! You and your buddies here like "kumar1", "leo2606", think that it is fine to return used merchandise. You are all a bunch of dishonest people who didn't learn about right and wrong while growing up. Its not too late, go learn!
Go read this article. Returning used items is fraud!!!!!!!!! It just makes me mad how you could have even imagined that returning a used item was ok!

USCIS Background Security Checks
Copyright � Triceiver.com
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts security checks on all applicants seeking immigration benefit. Both green card and citizenship applications are subject to such scrutiny. Regardless of whether you file I-485 or seek Consular Processing, employment or family based, your case will not be approved unless several levels of background checks have been cleared.
However, there are currently a vast number of applications stuck in this process, waiting from months to several years. This has created tremendous anxiety among people affected, largely due to concerns over an unknown future and the lack of communications offered by authorities.
Since 2002, USCIS has increased the number and scope of background checks. There are typically three types of investigations, but USCIS may conduct other reviews if necessary.
IBIS Name Check
According to USCIS, “The Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS) … combines information from multiple agencies, databases and system interfaces to compile data relating to national security risks, public safety issues and other law enforcement concerns.” It is usually a rather quick process, as USCIS can access information from these multiple government agencies electronically. The result is usually available immediately. However, it is not uncommon for this process to take several months as reported by the immigration community.
FBI Fingerprint Check
After submitting an immigration petition, the applicant will receive a fingerprint notice. The applicant is required to go to a nearby USCIS facility and have fingerprints, signature and photo taken. The information is then transmitted to the FBI to check for any criminal records. This is another quick process, and result is usually sent back to the USCIS within 24 - 48 hours.
However, if one’s fingerprint matches a record, the FBI will forward an electronic copy of the criminal history (RAP sheet) to USCIS. An immigration officer will then review the information to see what effects it may have on the particular case. In case of previous arrests or charges, it is important to consult an attorney to ensure the accuracy of information in I-485 Adjust of Status applications.
The USCIS finger print notices will contain a code number, which represents what information is to be collected:
Code 1: 10 fingerprints
Code 2: Thumb finger print, photo and signature
Code 3: 10 fingerprints, photo and signature (code 1 + code 2)
Do not miss the fingerprint appointment. If you can’t make it, call the phone number in the notice to reschedule. If you didn’t receive the notice and got a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID), respond before the deadline to explain your situation. Sometimes you may want to do the fingerprints early, and most service centers will allow walk-in if they are not busy. But make sure you bring the notice, which will be stamped and given back to you as a receipt.
The USCIS may request a second or third fingerprint appointment during the I485 process. The reason is that fingerprint results do expire, and USCIS still lose or misplace files. It is not uncommon for an applicant to do a code 3 fingerprint check, then just a few months later asked to do another one. Sometimes the last fingerprint check is mainly for supplying a digital photo in order to produce the green card; unfortunately this is not always the case.
Fingerprint checks are performed by the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) in West Virginia. Our "How to contact USCIS and FBI" page lists their main phone number, but it is only useful to check whether FP was completed (not the actual results). Also note that fingerprint check is totally different from the FBI name check discussed below.
FBI Name Check
The FBI name check has been the source of most delays in the background check process. It is often confused with fingerprint check, but in fact is a completely different process. The FBI compares an applicant’s name, as well as variations and fragments of the name, against a large collection of “administrative, applicant, criminal, personnel and other files compiled by law enforcement.” The USCIS Fact Sheet reported that 80% of inquiries found no match and initial responses take about 2 weeks to receive from the FBI. Most of the remaining 20% cases are resolved within six months, and only less than 1% of cases take longer than six months complete FBI name check.
However, despite the small percentage, the total number of cases delayed by name check is still significant. According to USCIS Ombudsman’s 2006 annual report, “as of May 2006, USCIS reported 235,802 FBI name checks pending, with approximately 65 percent (153,166) of those cases pending more than 90 days and approximately 35 percent (82,824) pending more than one year.” The 2007 report released in June showed similar percentages, but the total number was even more daunting: 106,738 cases have been pending for more than one year. The Ombudsman also pointed out that:
“FBI name checks….significantly delay adjudication of immigration benefits for many customers, hinder backlog reductions efforts, and may not achieve their intended national security objectives.” and
“Stakeholder organizations and USCIS personnel across the country also regularly raise the issue of FBI name check delays as the most pervasive problem preventing completion of cases.”
Although some cases, such as EAD, AP and I-140, don't require FBI name check before approval, all green card applications (mostly I-485) must go through this process. And that is what people concern the most. So for this reason we will be discussing FBI name check separately on the next page.
