My 140 was received at TSC on 23 APR 2007. I also have an lud 08/05 which is a sunday.
does anybody see a pattern.

I'm just curious as there has been approvals contrary to the bulletins in the years before. Please don't flame me as i'm just looking for any signs of hope around the corner for the EB3 folks.

I have an NRE account and I get a 1099-INT every year from my bank for that account. It clearly states that the interest has been reported to the IRS and therefore must be shown on the 1040.

We were talking about taxes at work and someone mentioned that all bank accounts in home country should be reported to IRS. I opened a bank account(NRE) in India before I came to US and get minimal interest income from it. Should I be declaring the income to IRS? The income is so low that I don't have to declare it in India so I didn't bother. I do not have a green card (am on H1B). Can you confirm if I am supposed to provide this info in tax returns. I did do some research on this and from news articles it seems like what my colleague mentioned is true. How do I go about providing all the info now? Is this going to impact my GC process?

Yet another self-destruct case...trying something stupid

Court orders man to keep away from Facebook founder | AHN (http://www.allheadlinenews.com/briefs/articles/90033787?Court%20orders%20man%20to%20keep%20away%2 0from%20Facebook%20founder)

Can one of you guys tell me what is the policy of the OK secretary of state on Drivers licenses for the various legal immigration statuses eg H1b, EAD with approved 140, F1 etc.?
I'm considering a move there and would appreciate your feedback.

your wish is my command Master, what can I do for you?

I got mine using EAD last year at Baytown, TX - I would say, it is one of the coolest DPS in Houston. All they need is your EAD and old license.

The license would state that you are a temporary visitor and your status expires the day your EAD expires. Around the EAd expiry time, you get a notice that your drivers license will be invalid if you do not update the DPS with your new status information.

I got greened in September, but still using the same old license as it is valid till September 2011.

Where did you see this? I can see the Aug bulletin but not your update.

D. JULY EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA AVAILABILITY

After consulting with Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Visa Office advises readers that Visa Bulletin #107 (dated June 12) should be relied upon as the current July Visa Bulletin for purposes of determining Employment visa number availability, and that Visa Bulletin #108 (dated July 2) is hereby withdrawn.

It takes average 3 - 6 months for I-140 to get approved(I got it in 40 days), but like lot of other people i am stuck with retrogression :(

Delete this useless thread!

I e-filed my AP and did not send any documents and just received an RFE requesting 2 photographs(write alien number with pencil in the back) and a preferably color photocopy of a photo ID.

So, please make sure that you send those supporting documents with the e file receipt to USCIS. They give out the address and instructions at the end of the application which are easy to follow.

Nevertheless, I e Filed EAD too and did not send any supporting documents and they approved it without issuing any RFE. They used an older picture from my previous EAD.

My 2 paise!!!

As per the document:

total EB2 visa available: 40040
Grand total of EB2 pending: 33850

So, technically all the EB2 applicants should get their GC during the fiscal year of 2011. Even in the situation where no fall down from EB1.

Seems like good news for many and hopefully foir EB3s as well if further fall down of visas occur.

Guess, USCIS should wake up and move the dates faster instead of jungling during last quarter of the fiscal year.

i guess it doesn't count ppl who are waiting. The no of ppl who are not able to file 485 is huge.

Thanks GCard_Dream to understand .

Zee.

First let us get USCIS to process our applications strictly based on PD. Then we will have more people for the rally because new PD date members would be more motivated to participate in the grassroot effort

This is not an AD moron. I am not looking to hire anyone. I am asking about NON-IMMIGRANT VISA advice. Since the forum is titled Immigration Voice > Immigration Information > NON-IMMIGRANT VISAS, I don't think my post can be THAT far from the right section.

WTFever,

This forum is intended for Highly Skilled Immigrants who are on Non Immigrant visa and are caught in the green card log jam. Discussion topics here are predominantly related to Employment based GC. You might not get a CORRECT answer here as your situation is not some thing common for people on this forum. You should talk to a lawyer and get advice for your situation.

HTH

please PM me your tel no and I will call. We at Detroit are having a good get together and I can easily push it with the guys here but need to know what you want to do ? Maybe you can even call me on the phone when we are meeting

My observation... based on i140 application

My case was sent to NSC and it remained in NSC, however applications of 5 colleagues of mine got transfered to TSC... and another 3 remained at NSC

There seems to be a pattern on how they transfer cases from NSC to TSC based on last name (this is totally based on a very small specimen)... posting it here to know if it holds any water

Last name starting with A, C, E, G, I, K..... transfered to TSC
Last name starting with B, D, F, H, J, L..... stayed at NSC

any comments? again this is only based on my observation on a very small # of cases

and the 140 was transferred to TSC.

Yes, we are all looking forward for everyone to be here. YOU can make a difference. We are sitting in the situation room and loving every minute of it..Making new friends, being inspired by all the volunteers and their hard work. It is just a wonderful feeling to be part of history, come experience it yourself!!! You will never regret this..

I needed some advice on this situation I've found myself in.

I have a PERM application filed with my current employer (EB2, Oct 2007). Like most EB2 apps, mine is under a business necessity audit and we have filed an audit response for it. My lawyers are pretty sure that we will clear the audit. Guessing from , the response may be 2-3 months away.

Now I have a second offer from another company. Everything about the job and company is better than my current, but the legal team at this second company says that they will only file in EB3 (even though the job requirement says Bachelors + 8 yrs). They say that they have other EB2 audits going on and have made it a policy to only do EB3 going forward.

I'm on the 5th year of my H1 (don't ask, had a PD of 2005, caught up in BEC and got laid off last May, refiled Oct 07 with the current employer) and this probably will be the last chance for me to change jobs before I cool my heels and wait for the repercussions of the July Fiasco to be over with.

I can't decide on weather to keep my existing EB2 job or take the new offer and step down to EB3.

Please help!

For completeness, I think you should open a poll for EB3 ROW as well since they have a substantial number of members.

I am positively sick of seeing the same "case received and pending" status on my I-485 case for the past two years (almost). I call CIS and they parrot like repeat the same status which I see on their website. They tell me they have no further information.

I simply can't take it any more. I have already paid unnacceptably high human cost for this GC. If my case has any discrepency and it is going to be rejected eventually, then I dont see any point of working in US from this point onwards itself. I would rather move back to India and use this time to build my career there.

I can hang on only if I somehow get to know if my case has been pre-adjudicated for approval, and no more bureaucratic actions are required on it. But how do I do that?

Any ideas?
