This rumor from fragomen's site is creating a havoc everywhere.
These rumors are wreaking havoc on people who are not in a perfect position to control the timing of filing. Many lawyers and many employers will file between 25th and 31st July. And I can accept that. My own HR and lawfirm have made it clear that we will file before 31st July but there is no guarantee that it will be sooner than that and any sooner than that is not neccesary.
Those who are filing on their own can file on July 1st. But those who are depending on lawyers and their own HR, please relax and stop thinking too much.
Never trust the FDBL assholes. They've screwed me multiple times in the past and the irony is that I've paid them for that.

Hmmm,
I may as well tell my wife to accept the fact that she is likely to loose her job. Just got reply from my attorney to go for INFOPASS once 90 days have passed and request expedite.

Did you do INFOPASS or Service Request? Is that the same or different?
With Infopass appointment you get to meet IO (may be level I, or Level II) face-to-face, SR is done via phone.

Hello Susie,
My daughter accompanied me on H4 visa. My labor was approved in June 2006 and she turned 21 in July 2006. My I 140 was approved in Dec 2006. I have received valuable inputs from IV members and understand that she has aged out. I believe that things can be simplified if unmarried children under 21 who come as dependants of workers with dual intent visas or similar catagories are exempt from ageing out rules. This may avoid lengthy rules, computations, complex interpretations and possibly lawsuits.

Excellent. ^^Bump^^
to add further ..
1. GC is a permanent visa. One has very limited rights. For example, GC holder must be inspected and admitted into US after a foreign travel like any other non-immigrant visa holders. Therefore, the admission into USA after a foreign trip is not guarentted always for GC holders, if IO/CBP officers flex their muscules at POE.
2. If you have US passport, you don't need visa for most of the countries in the globe. Your passport will be always fresh and most of the pages will be empty.

Maybe this has been discussed earlier but I was wondering if we can extend our funding champaign beyond the conventional website.
How about setting up booths/tents/tables(what the heck) at local temples(or any places of worship where we know immigrant community would visit) in the area on the weekends. This way we can educate fellow immigrants about immigrationvoice and try to get contributions.
It might sound stupid but what I want to ask is , Is it legal for a Nonprofit org to do this ? By this I mean promote IV and collect contributions in the way I described above ?

Hi,
I have an California EB2 RIR LC app pending with backlog center with PD of March 2005. My 6 years of H1B are over and am an Indian citizen.
Is it a good idea to convert this application to PERM - my company lawyers say that there is a risk in that if the application is rejected, there is no back-up + it can take upto 8 months to process under PERM due to the conversion.
Best Wishes
zoozee
It is very true that it might take a long time for the conversion cases to get approved. Mine took 6 months with audit. Your PERM application must be identical (not similar, it should be 100% identical) to your RIR case. They will take months to pull your RIR out from the BEC and compare it with the new PERM and if 100% identical they will approve. It is possible. It can be done. I got mine done. It will take time. It is risky especially when your 6 year limit is over. There are ways to stay in status even if it gets rejected. But are you willing to take the risk?

Hi,
My Husband and daughter appeared for the interview on Dec 6th 2006 but they were given 221(g) blue form and were asked to drop the papers in Hyderabad VFS office and it was clearly mentioned not to attend personally
As per The 221(g) form , they dropped passports and my original I797,I129 and all supporting documents including my original H1 papers and marriage certificates on Feb 20th 2007 , After 4 months on July 3rd 2007 we got a mail from ChennaiAF@state.gov to appear for interview on any Monday before 9 am with Passports and all other supporting documents but we have already dropped all the documents including passports in Hyderabad VFS drop box and it have been couriered to Chennai US Consulate through them.
I mailed to US consulate to suggest whether they can appear for the interview only with this mail printout but I haven’t got any reply and also my husband talked to customer representative they said he can come with the mail print out as they already dropped their passports . My husband and daughter reappeared for the to US Consulate Yesterday July 23rd 2007.The security people didn’t allow him inside since they don’t have their passports my husband showed his Identification card and printout of the mail from ChennaiAF@state.gov and they allowed my husband but not my daughter as she doesn’t have the mail or identification card. She is 4 yrs old and we already dropped her date of certificate and passports in drop box along with my Husband papers.
Finally after a long conversation they were sent inside accompanied by an Indian officer. But when he explained his case to the Indian officers they said that they were not aware of the mail from ChennaiAF@state.gov and finally he was sent to interview and US consulate officer said that his case is still under process and they were sent back again
They have dropped the passports and all supporting documents on Feb 20th 2007 and now its been more than 5 months but still they say that the case is still under process. Can any one please let me know why he was sent the below mail from ChennaiAF@state.gov to attend for interview when the case is still in process. How long still would it take for this Administrative process and when can i expect a reply from consulate.
Along with the passports they have also dropped the few original documents of my I-797, I-129 ,LCA , our marriage certificate and my daughters date of birth certificate. Please let us know whether if there is any chance to verify that passprot and my original documents have been misplaced by US consulate
Please find their case Batch id
Case Batch id :- 339-461-3 STATUS
Also please suggest if there are any alternatives.
Thanks,
Pushpa

You sure are doing great with your marathons and beers, but anyone not doing these is no less productive or less American that you are !!!
Canadian_dream, i fully agree and i have no intention of saying someone else is not productive.
I choose to see things this way for me. I just started an active life style, not too long ago.
I think i was quite productive before taking up some exercise.
would you agree that making some active choices in life style are better, and will help improve productivity a bit...
thanks for your time.

This is an extremely bad bill.With India dominating not only the H1 visa quota and EB green cards applications but also body shops and �consulting� companies; eliminating the per country quota would massively and unfairly flood America with workers from India
Many defenders of the bill used flawed socio-economic reasons to justify their *shameful and selfish agenda. Unused visa for ROW (Other countries) is NOT because there are not enough skilled workers from other countries but because the uscis/dhs use the quota to conservatively hence at the end of the visa year there are still many quotas left. ROW priority date has never been current for a very long time
Would you prefer to work with 7 immigrants from India and OR 2 from India, 1 from Germany, 1 from Zimbabwe, 1 from Argentina, 1 from Slovakia and 1 from Burma? The bill will not only hurt professional immigrants from other countries but also will hurt diversity, the core and sacred believe of American people
What a lame logic.
How does it matter from which country is the doctor/engineer/scientist is coming from
and with whom I am working.
Your commment sounds like coming directly from numbersusa or Lou dobbs.

Well it is against the law to employ illegals and this is enforced strictly, so we can forget about tax deduction at source, SS, etc. It will be minuscule. These so called publications are from their supporters which they have numerous of.
Yes, there lies 1/2 the problem. Illegal immigrants will come as long as there is somebody ready to provide them a job. If the business owners are held accountable with heavy fines and punishment - half the problem is solved and the other half of the problem will gradually come to an end. But such enforcements are not there and are not widely talked about. Easy to blame the illegals when they are looking for betterment of life, while the business owners are lapping in luxury!
Bring the border control, and add in tough enforcement on business that hire illegals - and then you still will have to address the people who are still here illegally. It may not be 12 million, but millions will still remain. That issue has to be addressed. The current president has said that they are to be a given a "path to legality" - pay the fine (yes, it may be trivial in our standards, but not theirs) and get in line. It is not blanket amnesty either.
Most of us in this forum don't support law breaking, at the same time, we have to be practical.....
There is no proof that the new bill will reduce costs at all! It will take many years to realize it anyway. Reform was needed but not at this moment when there were bigger issues that needed fixing in 6-12 months.
What reform was needed first? immigration reform before health reform? lets fix the problems of the foreigners first, and then lets take care of the dying? Does that sound right? Even otherwise, which ever reform the president and the congress had taken, would it have gotten support?
economy is doing well = tax break; economy is not doing well = tax break - does that make sense?
big govt is bad! please vote for me, I want to run for the govt!
education - we don't have much money. defense - we are always under attack, so lets spend more money on 20th century war craft!
list goes on an on.......
Citizenship is not the answer and I'm tired of seeing all immigration bills partial to illegals.
agreed
They should go to the back of the queue and get reform only after legal immigration is fixed.
They should go to the back of the queue and get reform along with legal immigration.
Their supporters are hampering our efforts.
absolutely! wouldn't you? they play the game of leverage and we would do the same.
There are millions of poorer people in Africa and India who need more help. These countries have better farmers too.
If they shared borders with the US, they would have done exactly what the mexicans are doing.
The sad thing that separates our community from theirs is that they stand up for their own people irrespective of wealth. Take our community - of the hundreds who got the green card/citizenship - how many stay to help us? Why are the older generation of Indian immigrants fighting the new comers?

1) I think what he meant was to take part in the democratic process in the country that you live in. You cannot take part in the democratic process of your native land if you don't live there now can you?
2) I think he means the risk of loosing the GC status and getting deported. Not losing the citizenship of the original country is not the issue. He is emphasizing on the vulnerability.
Not great reasons for some...
Q 1: What if one's native country is also a democracy?
Q 2: If one is already a citizen of democratic country other than US and same scenario will happen then one's kids will not have revoked citizenship (That other country's) as well if one decides to maintain his/her original citizenship ...
