Oh and by the way, may not be me or you waiting for Indian/Chinese GC's but could be your kid and mine. Let's have this talk again in a decade or two given GDP growth,debt and deficits of US and GDP growths/deficits/market size of India/China.
Never say never, I dont know what my kids will do, they will go where is best for them.
And Best is not just GDP, Romania hast 4 times more GDP per capita compared to India, but I don't see my self going back there. Coruption, stupid mentality, etc. dis will not change with GDP growth, to change the mentality of the people you need a couple of generation to die until you get somwhere close to USA.:(

Definite. My journey was worth it, even considering all the diffiulties. In India, I had a flourshing practice and when I was planning to go to US, my friends will call be a "fool".
However, looking back, I think I made a wise decision. I have a very good academic job, for which I am proud of. My wife has a very respectable job, which she could not have done there. My kids are much more independent and mature and have more opportunities in terms of education, jobs, travel etc. My health is far better here (I was allergic to dust and had athma). I have more time to enjoy sports and travel. Most of my immediate family is in US.
In nutshell, YES, I did the right thing.

A way to estimate ROW 485 applications
Since ROW 485's are approved rather quickly, the small number of pending cases from the USCIS report does not reflect the whole picture how many ROW 485's are submitted each year. However, we may be able to estimate like this:
First find out the average processing time of ROW 485, then we know the pending number from USCIS report is the cases submitted for the length of the processing time. For example, if the processing time is 3 months, and there are 7000 cases for ROW pending, then we know there are 7000 ROW 485 submitted in 3 months. Then the full year demand is 28000. Maybe the report can be revised with these information to get a better estimate on the spillover?

I know it is not the right place to put it. I could not find any appropriate thread. My wife is planning to go for H4 visa stamping in October. My question is can she go alone and what kind of documents she need. Our I-485 applications have reached USCIS on July 2nd. Any reply will be greatly appreciated.
Yes she can go alone. She will need her H4 approval notice as well as your H1B approval notice. Additionally since you have applied for AOS take them for good measure. My husband recently went for H4 stamping in London and they did not actually require the adjustment receipt notice but did take anyway with his documents.

To mailmy_gc : You are very lucky to have it on the 100th day i guess..Mine is pending 98 days and i went to local office - Newark, NJ today and they told me your file is with the IO and you are probably struck in background check - cant understand he spend 90+ days on background check alone! and i am still counting. I met atleast 3 people whose EAD is pending and expired and are counting days. I cant beleive USCIS is no ruthless and care a damn about legal immigrants.
Can anyone tell me how else i can expediate? - I already tried 2 Info pass, one service request, Letter to CIS ombustman (they did respond with rrecommendation). I havent contacted senator (does it help - if so do i just call them or go to there office?). Any input will help.

I know before you start blaming me for this thread, as it is of no use, I would like to point out that most of you must be experiencing the same thing. I didn't care much for Visa bulletin until it became current for EB2 two weeks back. As the time progress, I am doing all sorts of things, like checking USCIS case status, and checking everything that can possibly give me some information. I know that it is waste of time, I know it is not good for health, I know that I will get GC when time comes, but still, my mind is tricking me to think about it. I checked all these forums until 2A.M last night. I am not having enough sleep. I am waiting for a opportunity to get rid of my desi employer. I am really getting frustrated (I am not saying that I have been waiting for GC approval desperately). I just want to share my frustration and what I have been going through. I know I am in a better position than most of other people whose priority date is not even current. I wish they never dangled a carrot in front of me. I am not sure if they disappoint me next month, but I am still keeping my hopes. Hopefully, I would get over this and have enough sleep from today.

Macaca, what a great idea! Can you or someone approximate the figure f how much we have cntributed to SS (and better yet, how much would stop going into SS if we all left in a reverse brain drain)
H1B + GC holders pay SS + Medicare (??) for which they are entitled only after 10 years.
Look in your pay check and compare this amount with the amount you contribute to IV and the benefits from IV.
SS is a mess and so everyone loves the donations (not contributions).
Congress knows about it and may have a better # for it.
Wall Street talks about it but I started following them recently where they are talk about undocumented workers.
In order to approximate it we need the the number of H1B's and their average salary
Recently there was an article (that I posted but can not find in News Article Thread) that said the amount is ?? billion for undocumented
There may be articles that mention these #s for legals but it will include GC holders + others also. We need #s only for H1B's
If we can not find articles with #s for H1B's we should contact authors of articles (that cover legals or undocumented) to write about contribution by H1B's
You can search the wall street on line but their search engine does seem very smart and requires subscription for article access.

Can someone please shed some light if my attorney is heading in the right direction?
Thanks,
Hello All,
Thanks for your thoughts & advise. It helped me in my conversation with my company's attorney. I would first like to clear my educational background. I have 10 + 2( HSC/ 12th Grade) + 1 (1st year of Bachelors of Commerce) + 3 year Diploma in my field. That being said this is what she has advised/recommended.
She states that she is fairly confident that we can argue successfully the denial. She has said that she will file an MTR/Appeal & at the same time file a new I-140 too. She says she thinks there is a 50% chance that the MTR would be successful, if not she said it will go for appeal & take about a year. The advantage she said of filing a new I-140 at the same time is that she can make an airtight case with the cover letter covering the points for the reason for the denial of this I140 & the decision on the new I-140 would be fairly quick if the appeal is denied as it was filed witht eh appeal for the old one. The only disadvantage with a new I-140 would be that we cant file for 485 till there is an open visa, which means no EAD/AP for myself & my wife.
Can members with knowledge of these kind of scenarios shed some of their thoughts?
Thanks.

My employer is not giving copy of my I140. With out I140 how to port it to an other job/employer etc ?
Can some on advise me !
My company, which is a big one with more than 9000 employees tried to do the same with me. I've to do some sweet talking with my paralegal to get a copy of I-140, which was sufficient. Although, later I realized it was a notice of action but I think that should work too. Since, my company filed my 485 I did not have to worry much about that.

I think, it is a combination of three things.
1. Laziness
2. No Accountability
2. Bad intentions ...as you mentioned
In my job, I am a software trainer. I teach hundreds of people. I will be accountable (and asked questions) if I delay my work even by one day. There are tight deadlines for everything. (Yes, 5 minute job of renewing EAD will not be 90 days ...it will be 5 minutes only) Even if one customer just soft complains about anything, I will be held accountable and my job will be in jeopardy. There is no such thing in USCIS.
BTW: I hate when they say 90 days and then exclude the RFE time and the mail accepting time.(They count from the date of receipt and not the date of receiving the mail). On the top of it, the receipt date can be any time they want and not the date of receiving the date. It can become 120 days and when they say "days", it is like one of those commercials which says, " for only 1$ a day ...." instead of saying $365 which they charge for the whole year . subscription.
Same way instead of saying 3 to 5 months , they say 90 days (so that it does not seem long). they should say , "EAD RENEWAL ONLY TAKES 129600 MINUTES". ..and then in the small print, light gray color at a hidden spot in the bottom, in tons of lines of text, say, "does not include RFE, holidays, Mail transit time, and time before we accept it"
Can anybody please send me the address of USCIS director ? I want to write a letter to him with a copy to his boss too. Anybody can help me know who his boss is and his address too ?
You will be barking up the wrong tree or up the same tree a lot of us have already barked up to, by writing to rthe Director of USCIS and his boss.
Alejandro Mayorkas is the Director od USCIS and I believe his boss would be none other than Ms. Janet Napolitano..
Poke around IV, there has to contact information for both of these individuals.
Laziness and Un-accountability are hallmarks of any government organization in any country, so we can discount that. I strongly incline in the direction of "Bad Intentions".
Afterall these are all clerk level employees who have, what amounts to the future of thousands of people, in their hands. Whenever USICS efficiency/operating procedures are discussed here, I am reminded of what a clerk in my engineering school in India once told me. Mind you, this was NOT a government office where dealinggs of millions of rupees are made. This was a SCHOOL.
Following is the brief dialoge between the clerk and I:
Clerk: "Bhai, clerk se hamesha dar ke rehna."
Me" "Kyon?"
Clerk:" KUTTA mein ek (one) "K" ( the hindi letter Ka), hota hai aur clerk mei 2, is liya dhyan rakha"
That dude was so correct.

Hopeful has a valid point when it comes to sending flowers to USCIS. I am not sure that will make any difference . Flowers will not change USCIS overnight but will get us some good media publicity .Yes when it comes to american or any other politics , money is an important factor and if you can hit money, all issues can be resolved. I wish India one day becomes such a prosperous country that immigration no longer is lucrative for Indians and none of our generations to come have to go through all this mess !!!!!!:D

i think this is just another interim or supplemental memo. Oh's website says that the rule making agenda for ac21 has been pushed out until next year.
About 2 weeks back Murthy posted an article in it's bulletin "new AC-21 regulations expected soon" http://www.murthy.com/mb_pdf/050208_P.html which i believe was a result of some discussions USCIS had with AILA?
Now is this new AC-21 memo released today the one being referred to in the above mentioned Murthy bulletin? OR i should still hold my breath for more AC-21 changes coming from USCIS, so they can jeopardize status of people by changing their interpretation of laws every now and then? Anyone?

reminds me of a popular hindi maxim:
"Shadi aisa laddoo hai jo khaye wo pacchataaye, jo na khaye wo bhi pacchataaye"
loosely translated in english it means
Marriage is a desert which if somebody eats it, he will repent and if somebody does not eat it, will repent too...
(thank god my 5th grade english teacher is no more in this world to see this day...he must be rolling in his grave seeing my poor english translation skills:D)
He would definitely be rolling in his grave by your spelling :D It is "dessert". Unless you are one of the mythical Egyptian gods like Anubis, you are not going to eat a "desert" :p
