Called all of them
Some of them said they would pass on the message (but I noticed they didn't make a note of the bills ..I was wondering if they know these bills on the top of their head). some of them said they have received lot of calls from IV.
The person I spoke with(David) when I asked for Ruben Hinojosa said that Ruben Hinojosa is pro-immigration . He said he(David) spoke with the Congressman about these issues and said Rep. is aware of skilled immigration problems.He said that though ZOe Lofgren sub committe is sponsoring the bills Ruben is working with his colleagues in favour of the bills.
Said Democrtas are trying to get a Democrat into '' (I don't remember where now, may be White House) so a broader immigration law can be passed.
He said after August recess some of the immigration bills would be passed.
Thank you.

4) whatever IV does, hurts EB3 more. I don't think any admin fix will fix the vertical spill or recapture.
I agree with you. IV efforts knowingly or unknowingly swept all the help towards EB2. IV might not have done this willingly, but this is what happened.

Hi All,
After a long wait i have my priority date became current. But my employer is saying to wait for some more time before he can file for I485.What can i do in this scenario? He is saying the dates are going to remian the same for next couple of months.Please suggest.
Thanks!
Name the company. It is very important. You have worked patiently for so many years for your GC and now this! It is criminal behavior on your company's part to delay the process any longer. Such unscrupulous people must be exposed immediately.

Congrats to all the lucky ones. Enjoy the green freedom. Wish you all the best for your bright future and long life
Best Wishes to all the hopefuls.
I am in waiting game. Hoping against hope to go green.
BTW, today I treid calling USCIS. First the 1st level representative spoke and she straightway created a SR for me and my daughter. Once she finished that part Politely I asked her to transfer to an IO. Luckily without any wait call got connected to an IO. Had very brief conversation with him. He was fixated on my EAD being valid till August 2010, so according to him I don't have to worry about. But I persisted with my line of questions like current status, whether it is pre-adjudicated?, whether all clearances are done etc. Only thing he replied was "Your Case is in REVIEW". I asked him what does review means. His answer was review means review. Our conversation stopped there.
What do you guys think on "Your case is under review"?
HA HA HA.
Me too got same reply except mine was " extended review ". Don't know the heck about it.
Looks like a standard answer from them. Just like one we used to hear on phone in India for call waiting - "Kripya dhyan dain. Aap katar main hain."

hi there,
Just wanted to post that my husband and I finally had our embassy interview for our greencards and are back in the states approved and very happy!
Our interview appointment came very quickly, within 3 weeks of the March visa bulletin. I wish you all the same fortune and hope that the priority dates open up considerably for you all.
My best.

However my wife's status says
"On August 2, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
Do you know what does it mean?:confused:
It means that your wife is approved as well...but don't know why different languages and text for both of you. But nothing to worry about it...

Hi
Can I file for I-485 while I am waiting for I-140 approval. My PD is current under eb2 and my I-140 was filed on Jan-2007. I am going to upgrade to PP for I-140 but since lots of people will start going to file for PP, it is very much likely that NSC will issue RFE to reduce there workload. So my question is while I wait for I-140 approval, can I file I-485?
Yes, my attorney just confirmed that we do not need to get I-140 approved and directly file I-485. YES!!!

Appriciate your help.
Thank you.
Depends what you want to do in future :
I have canadian PR as well, qualified for citizenship 2 yrs back, never opted for one
I would trash the PR, i mean let it expire and you be on your way. Cdn PR doesnt gives much benefits unless you want to settle in Canada/ work there.
i personally think US GC has more benefits then any other

I agree that house appreciates on average at inflation + 1% but it is still not a bad investment because most likely everyone would be taking a mortgage. So what we need to find out is a equity return on house?
For a 30 year mortgage and a 20% down payment, the house return on your invested equity of 20% by the end of 15 years is approximately equal to long term stock market return of 10%, even though the house is appreciating at inflation + 1%. This is because of deleveraging.
However, if we do not refinance by the end of 15 years then the house becomes a bad investment and the returns go down.
I beg to differ. House is a BAD investment. Historically houses appreciate approximately at the rate of inflation+1 or 2 % points.(Forget bubble years). Plus the costs(maintenance and property taxes) related to house ownership makes it a really BAD investment. Imagine putting money in an account which gives 2% returns and has 2% maintenance charges!
House is a great place to live in. That is what should be in mind while buying a house.
I agree. However if somebody thinks living in a bigger place brings a better quality of life, even then he/she does not need to buy at 3 times the cost of renting the same place. He can RENT. By buying you are bringing the quality of life down. At one time a place in my area which could be rent for appx 2000 dollars a month would take about 4000+ dollars to own with 30 year fixed. Reason? because rents reflect the buying power of the resident. Nobody gets a ARM for paying the rent!
Yes. I am convinced that if you wait another year or so, ratio of cost of ownership and cost of renting will come to some sane levels and that is when people should think of buying. I am planning the same.

My attorney sent an email inquiry to DOL regarding my case. Within less than 12 hours a response was received -
It sounds like a pre-written text that goes to every inquiry they get.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I dont buy into their FIFO process. May be its applicable in the Non-Audit cases but cases that get audited are just being piled up at someone's desk and that person is most likely dead (does not exist) :mad:

Since people would be filing taxes early next year, and most expect some returns from Uncle Sam, how about starting a thread to pledge $ 200 from tax returns?
Also, someone had once suggested IV set up a mechanism via Pay Pal to make auto deduction of say $ 20-25 every month. That should get it more continuing contributions and help even out IV's cash flow.
That is a nice thought.
But I realized after watching from the sidelines for over six months now, is that, it is easier to achieve smaller goals. Basically, I mean, request donations, but without specifying the amount. And in good conscience, if they can donate $50 that is some contribution than none (numbers like $200.00 etc. might drive interested people away). There is a chance for second and third contributions, as and when they see positive developments because of IV efforts (I know that it is advantageous for IV if there is one large payment, rather than many small payments, but at this point, I am more interested in ONE SMALL PAYMENT).
Pineapple, please help add ONE member!
Everyone, please add ONE member before December 31st.
I am sure we can achive this very easy goal!

Guys,
What is IV step towards L1A misuse?
I am hearing that too many people are using up this category.
Hmmm....what a Pity?
Does the Gov know....I am sure not.
Cooked up Resumes, small companies are misusing this kind of Visas...
This is not acceptable. Please contact you local Senators.

i am totally frustrated in following all these stupid bills (along with illegals) and these dirty politics etc. I am more furious that we all are fighting only by ourselves and none of our employers are pitching in for the very reason we are all here. This said, we are wasting our time in following all these bills which has so many loop holes to get bogged down(especially for clauses pertaining to legal immigrants). Guys, this is personally for myself, i am not going to waste my time anymore on this crap. I am going to set myself, some fixed time that i will wait for the GC to come through. If not, i am going to pack up my bags. I am just speaking for myself, atleast that way i know that i am not waiting for some useless bills to pass through. Atleast i know my wait will end by that time. I am just speaking my mind over the way things are going and totally frustrated due to this freakin retrogression..
I am also completely in same thought.
I am planning to pack at the end of August,if nothing passes (S2611 like) in HOUSE.
