Congratulations

Thanks

ok thanks

this should include total applications as derivative also has to file separate I-485. you multiply with 1.7 when you are estimating from approved I-140 to speculate number of people who are waiting online to apply for green cards. bottomline is its no where close to 500,000 to 750,000 as expected by oh-law and other websites
that was expected. 300K * 1.7(average family size according to USCIS) = Approx. 500K

How do I start a new thread?

To Administrator: Why are you deleting my post. I am just copy pasting a PURE TRUTH i.e. a TEXT OF LEGISLATION. I am not making up things. There are many other threads where people are just discussing unnecessary stuff. I am just saying that legal immigrants who have not yet applied for EB should contact congress to include us in any kind of amnesty - not exclude us. How does this view go against anybody in this forum?? Infact it will benefit everybody. A "blanket" amnesty will give everybdy a GC including those who have and those who havent applied for EB yet.

I am not saying the 2009 or 2010 CIR would definitely exclude legals in US from amnesty but we should contact congress and white house that it should not happen like the it was almost going to happen in 2006.

Under any such plan, an Illegal guy living in US for 2 or 3 years will get green card before a legal guy on F1 visa or working on H1B living in US for 2 or 3 years.

We should all contact congress to not to limit any kind of so called "Legalization or Earned path to Green Card" to illegals in US only. Legals should also be included. BUG THE WHITE HOUSE AND SENATORS FOR THIS OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE LEFT OUT. ACT NOW...

Hi,

My Labor was filed in 2001. There was no progress for a year and a half and I left to go back to India. No I140 filed.

I came back to US and my present employer will be reinitiating the process soon.

Is it possible to recapture the priority date from 2001 filing?

Thanks.
Swapnil

If your extension paper come with I-94 attached, take it and staple it on your passport. (That is your new I-94). White paper need to keep in safe place. If it is expired, no value for it.

Hello:

I have a last minute doubt - my H1B stamp on the passport is expired, so is the white I94 card. I have a valid I797 extension.

Can I use automatic revalidation? I am in doubt because the white I94 card is expired and I will have to present it to the officer at the port of entry.

Thanks.

I think it would better if we had a picture on the homepage that conveyed these points. That way most people will get the message even if they do not
spend time reading.


anurakt, thanks for the update.

There is no information or caption on our home page that clearly states that this site/group is for highly skilled immigrants. We should come up with a caption that would convey this and also convey that its for all countries. We can add this beside the immigration voice logo.

The caption should be catchy and should convey the info....some thing like "by the people and for the people".


update: there is info about highly skilled immigrants on the home page but not sure if some people would have time to read these (especially those who just come in from other websites and might think this site is one of those immigration sites)

We need the large numbrs in attendance!

you can re-enter with previous visa stamp with company A's annotation as long as it is still valid..however, you need to have the latest I-797 approval notice from your current employer and show it to the immigration officer at the poe...

Could you please elaborate? I have a stamp from company A but I have quit it in 2005.

Lets start IV wiki then....
and people here who are going through the process can contribute to it first hand.... coupled with moderation from admins.

What say IVians?




I just saw this in latest Murthy bulletin about USCIS using Wikipedia and other internet based sources to gather information. This is serious news.

RFEs or Denials May Not Be Based on Wikipedia Information

The USCIS has been known to use an ever-growing number of publicly available sources, including internet sources such as Wikipedia. AILA members have been receiving denials based on the USCIS's use of information found on Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia to which anyone in the world may contribute information. As such, it should not be considered an objective or completely reliable source of information. SCOPS advised that it has notified the service centers and there should not be additional RFEs or denials based upon Wikipedia.

It should be noted that, as a corollary, applicants and petitioners should not try to use Wikipedia as support for their filings or arguments, since it has been deemed an unreliable source.

Yeah! let us all right to John McCain!
All,

Please CONGRATULATE to the new President on Tuesday by all channels and DEFINITELY ASK the question " Now that you are the president, do you want to further punish us for being legal and sticking to the rules and hence make us wait forever in these long painful EB2/EB3-I long queues, . Mention about 5882, small admin fix.
or
does he want to give us some immediate relief. Dont forget to mention we can buy houses, not new job applicants, legal etc and HIgh-skilled.
Thanks,

Mine is two Receipting up-dates away.....but I am hoping to receive my RNs before that...:D

Let's have some fun guys.! It's good to be worried and it's just normal. Some are just too stiff to others because the July 19th filer is asking for getting checks cashed and therefore some July 2 filers are pissed off because theirs are not yet cashed....Dude, let's face reality with USCIS...some people are really lucky to overtake others....

I'm still Confused you guys are EB3 India SEP why are your applications even looked at ? As far as I knew your applications stay in the big black hole unless your Priority date is current....
It seems we are in synch.

MTR approved in December 09.

RFE for EVL on 23 rd Jan 23 rd.

Replying this week.

Let us see what is in store.

Hi bouncer,
I just wrote a tutorial on how to call custom states programmatically or via code here: http://www.kirupa.com/blend_silverlight/custom_vsm_pg1.htm (the last two pages will be most helpful for you).

Are you unsure how to call the states, or are you unsure how to detect the direction of mouse movement?

Thanks,
Kirupa

Rest of the World.

The interview didn't last more than 10 minutes. She asked for copies of current employment letter and a copy of future employment offer letter. She kept my original (first) I-94 and attached it to the file she already had.

We were asked standard questions and additional proof of our relationship. We submitted copies of apartment lease, tax returns for 2006 (filed jointly).

'Have a nice day' is what she said to signal that the interview was over. On our way out I asked her if we are not supposed to get a decision today. She said she had to review a couple of things and that there's 'nothing to worry about' and we should receive written decision within 4 weeks. She did mention about 'a couple of security checks being pending'. I asked 'like name check and stuff', she said yes. I didn't say anything about that new memo regarding Name Check Pending for more than 180 days and just walked out quietly, because she didnt seem like she was going to take any more questions :)

Now I dont know what to do next? Any idea whats gonna happen? My PD, RD and ND all are current at this time.

Flash can crash too if you trace a bitmap and put the minimum area and color threshold values very small. It takes forever to trace 'em. And if you start doing something it crashes. :)
In 3dsmax the polygon count is what makes the computer slow and crash. On this picture I have a 6924 faces and everythings fine. But when it reaches 20000 it's very slow.

syendu1, what is your exact RD? They are processing Dec 06... knowing the date would be helpful. thanks
