Friends,
Yesterday, it was our turn too to get the approval notice. It was a long wait like many of you. Checking into IV forums has helped me cope up with the delay. It is more than 8 years since entering US, 6 years since signing up with employer for GC, and five years since filing for labor. BEC and 485 were the biggest unpredictables in the journey. There were times when I thought if it was all that worth. Anyway, now we have completed this arduous journey (being an Indian).
As a token of appreciation for IV and good will for my fellow countrymen continuing the journey, I am also making a contribution of $100/-. I saw someone already made such comment here. Needless to say, my contribution is along the way.
Good luck to all in waiting.

A lot can be achieved, if all members honestly contact and meet and talk with the staff of the lawmakers in their town.
The problem with the EB Community/ IV members is that we think that going and talking with our lawmakers is not going to help. Or, we are under the impression that all politicians generally know everything about us and are just unwilling to do anything about it for political reasons.
The truth is that 90% of lawmakers and their staff have no clue that there are thousands backlogged and stuck in this process for a decade.
It is our job to educate, bring our issues to light and keep pressure on them to bring/cosponsor or vote for a meaningful bill that will allievate our problems.
When I visited my local congresswoman's office the first time in 2007- The staff was actually shocked to hear that I have done all the right paperwork and being employed and stuck for 5 years.
Over the years, I have met them many times and educated them about the issues and build a relationship. And yet, many times the staff wonders if there are really thousands of people like me affected, how is it that there is just me that is visiting them and talking about it.
Remember there are 435 house representatives and 100 senators. Each one of you are within driving distance (40 minutes) to a office of a rep.
You are absolutely right!
Many lawmakers are not aware of the problems with high skilled legal immigrants. It happened with my Rep. To them, fixing immigration means - doing something about illegal immigrants - whether it is to send them back or to give them a path to gc/citizenship.
They asked me about how many legal high skilled immigrants are stuck in the state, and why is it that they are not voicing their concerns. As I did not have the statistics of how many legal hs immigrants were in the state, I told them that they were in a better position to get the information from the USCIS than I was. They nodded, and I have met with them many more times after that, and I ask if they have the statistic - they are yet to seek it from the USCIS. Its just me and my spouse visiting this office, so there is no urgency, or need for them to push themselves to find or act on it.......
Unless, there is united messaging throughout the country, our voices will only be feeble and gets drowned out by others who are speaking loud.
I started a thread about making meeting with lawmakers a priority this year, just a couple posted about meeting. That shows where we are in terms of advocating for the changes that will benefit us........
Just my thoughts..

Fellows,
We all had a sigh of relief when we saw the new labor certification process (Perm) and were promised that it will be much faster and smooth. Thankfully they have kept their promise, for the most part, except for the cases that get audited.
The cases that are 'randomly audited' have been pending for months and months, some cases () have been pending for over an year and there have been no response from DoL what so ever. I understand that a year does not sound bad especially to those folks who had their labor approved through the old process but these days the labor is getting approved within 50-60 days (average). It appears that the DOL (Atlanta Processing Center at least) does not bother to look at the documents once the audit has been replied to.
Although I understand that not everyone uses and some audit replies may have been replied sooner and were never reported to but you can get the idea just by a sample of the cases that were audited, and see that they have being neglected, ignored or appears that they are no longer considered for further processing. I have seen instances where the lawyers have retreated the application in the audit and filed a new application (a gamble) hoping that it does not get audit this time around. But not sure how that turned out.
If you visit the Atlanta Perm section on you will see the people's misery I mention here. In fact, I am sure that there are number of IV members who are going through this aggravating process but are silent becuase they know that can not do anything. Even lawyers have shown the sign of disappointment to this hopeless condition.
So I ask you, Members of IV, to help us and suggest something that (we) can be done to bring this to the attention of some sort of authority that would help trigger the review of Audit responses.
Thank you!
Updates:
We have decided to make this thread a place where all the Perm Auditees come and show their support. As of now we are gathering people here to estimate how many people are out there suffering the delays caused by Perm Audit. I have added a poll which is a way for us to estimate the number of people who will support any action that we take to make our voice heard.

I got the CPO email just now.. i'm not sure if it's because of the SR that my wife opened on Friday evening or it just happened without that.. but anyways it's a relief now.. i also see a lot of people getting cpo emails today.. btw, just curious, does the cpo stage come before "approved" status or after it?
now hope that i receive the card in time.. will post about its validity and start date once i receive it. (i'll be current for the month of September as my pd is july 06)
good luck to others who are waiting and hope that they get cpos soon
i got one more cpo email for ead today. the emails that i got today is exactly same as the one that i yesterday except the date of cpo. Yesterday's email said that "on August 16, 2008 we ordered... " and today's email says that "on August 18, 2008 we ordered...". anyways, i'm not worried about these multiple emails.. now waiting for getting the actual card in hand..

This is true. I heared the same from my attorney too. If you look at the history, there are two times they have discontinued the VB in the middle of the month. So let us hope the best and we will prepare for the worst.
I am not sure how far it is true, but this is the content of the email I got from my attorney when I pressed him to file at the earlierst.
"As soon as we have these forms back, all of the evidence for filing remaining from you, and I review the completed filing, we will file it. We appreciate your interest in filing on the first day the filing allows. We will endeavor to do that. I should point out that the current bulletin allows for filings throughout July. It is possible that the filings could be discontinued later in July. We are in touch with officials in Washington about this issue and will file your application in a timely fashion for obtaining the benefit when the filing is properly prepared."

The fact is that most of Pre 2004 EB2 lot is already out of the system. Those who are still in are sufferer of namecheck and BECs.
That's simply incorrect. Since EB-2 India was held up at Jan 2003 from Oct 2005 to June 2007, most EB-2 filers from 2003 and 2004 are still very much out there and waiting. You have to remember that most 2003/04 EB-2 filers from California/NY/NJ/WA were rotting in BEC. High demand states have not approved any labors with 2003-2004 PD's before 2005 when BEC started to approve them. But this was too late as dates were already retrogressed, thus for almost 2 years there was build up for 2003/04 EB-2 cases. I know a lot of them personally.
The only exception to this might be: There were very few cases filed in EB-2 during 2003 and 2004, but that is hard to believe.

I strongly recommend reading and rereading as much as you can about basic fundamentals of trading in general ........Ask tons of questions and evaluate answers.
When you said read and read trading fundamentals, did you mean these listed in a previous thread.
Any one starting out must read a lot. I would suggest:
1. Come into my Trading Room- By Elder
2. The Equity Trader Course- By Schwartz
3. Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners- By Harris
For those of you a little sophisticated:
1. Volatility Trading- By Sinclair or By Johannes
2. The Options course- By Fontanills
3. Bible of Option trading- By Guy
4. Quantitative Trading- By Chan

She has a US passport, both parents are from India - I am not sure if I should just take the 10 yr visa for her or apply for the overseas citizenship card. Is there a benefit to use one over the other? How long does it take to process each of them? Please help. Thanks.

I look at this bill in a different perspective:
1. This will give the Indian IT companies an opportunity to move up the value chain. Rather than body shop its employees to clients...they can have all the IT work done at its development locations. Also they can fill americans for half of its US workforce.
2. It will put an end to 100% H1b bodyshoppers who just make money without having any office and putting their employees onto client locations. These scrupulous bodyshops even dont pay on bench.

Hi all,
I have an approved H1B visa and was planing to start working for the new sponsor company 10/01/08. It turned out my current employer bought the company I was going to. My position is slightly different but in same line of business and industry. mY question is:
Do i need to file an h1b amendment for both position and company?
I appreciate your insight.

Hi All,
Regarding my I-485 appln. status - I do remember seeing "Request for Evidence" status before. Currently I see "Request for Evidence Response Review". I see this status change although there are no LUDs.
Throw in your input Gurus !
Thanks
When USCIS sent you the RFE notice, you would have seen "Request for Evidence". After USCIS receives your response, you would have seen the hard LUD, while the header is still for RFE. Then after some days (with in 60 days), the header changes to "Request for Evidence Response Review", while the old header "Request for Evidence" vanishes. I was in the same boat like you. I spoke to my attorney's team and they offered me the insight glimpse of working of USCIS.
