I seriously hope that the Director of the USCIS understands our "Gandhigiiri".
We dont want the Americans thinking, "hey lets keep screwing these immigrants and getting stuff like free flowers and free blood from them"

Tejonidhi,
Thanks for the sequence, it is helpful.
Hello Everybody,
I know many of us are frustrated because of EAD delay. I am one of them and today I called up USCIS.
Here is the sequence.
1) 1 800 375 5283
2) 1,2,2,6,1 receipt notice# 1,3,4
3) you will have to wait for 10 to 15 minutes and one of the officer will come online for you.......

actually, lets make another category 3.c. people who have shifted jobs after ead using AC21 and now want to or already have started a company for side business (that may be in the labor/perm cert job description or outside)...
So, I am 3.c. and so is perhaps matreen... after digesting my conversation with the lawyer for two three days now, i am feeling that it might be worth taking the risk of doing a side business. after all, we are not doing anything that is uncivil or criminal... just trying to boost our incomes and perhaps contribute to an industry or something like that... that noble intention could be viewed as an exclusive intention in relation to the intention to continue permanent employment with the new GC sponsoring employer... what do you guys think?
If you are on 3a, you have neither used AC21 nor have you left your full time job (FT job that aligns with your LC). On EAD, you can do any number of jobs (ex: you can even work 2 part time jobs totally unrelated to your LC requirements ofcourse as long as you continue to be with your GC employer). Using this rationale, you should be fine starting a business and making profit in the part time.
In fact even those who were in 3 b were able to get their GC after an interview (Search for posts by the user "unitednations"). But, it's risky and best avoided.
Personally, I want to get into 3 a, but my 140 is still pending. I plan to approach my company to switch me to EAD as soon as my 140 gets approved.
PS: This is not legal advice. Please contact your attorney and do more research before taking any steps further.

10000 more homes is nothing. This is not INDIA. The economy is so huge that 10000 homes is a drop in the ocean. And is the Govt. going to believe that all 10000 immigrants are going to buy homes? 75% of them won't qualify for new mortgage rules.
Plus, what is stopping you from buying a home right now?

more info on my case::
Company A :
Pd: 12/31/2003
Catagory : EB2 India
Labour cert approved : 3/30/2004
I 140 RD : 4/13/2006
I140 approved DT: 9/21/2006
I 485 sent : 7/2/2007
I 485 RD : 7/5/2007
I485 ND : 7/13/2007
Finger print : 9/2/2007
Company B :
joind Date: 2/14/2008 (after 6 months)
Filed AC21 by company attorney
contacted congresman's office when PD become current for more than a year but no approval. Got responce that it is pending in extended review.
Left Company B to move South side because of health issue ( winter) .
Company B understood the situation and left in good terms with them.
Company C ( Full time )
joined Date: 12/14/2009
Used EAD .
I140 LUD: 1/29/2010
I485 deniel email : 25/2010
I did not change attorney in file from company B for I485 .
Called companyB attorney on 2/5/10 and they did not even know that I left companyB .
They said they have not received any communication about I485 and they can deal with me for my 485 directly . they said they will call me once they receive the original letter (not suer wheter attorney get it or myself get it ).
So this is where I am standing .
So if my original sponser ( company A ) revoked 140 , should it not say the status denied/cancelled etc at that time ( 2-3 years ago) ?
If I had known that I would have shifted from companyB or would have looked for a H1 transfer. ( Just my lack of knowledge) .
Hopefully it is a string Ac21 mis-understanding issue. otherwise I may have to look for a H1 tranfer ( pain again)
Thanks folks for all the support

Hi John, thanks for bringing this to the attention of our members. Lets hope everybody finds time to call Sen Cornyn to thank him for introducing this bill. Another thing I wanted to say is that, our members are all busy with 485 filing and stuff so we can expect a response only after the 17th of August when the excitement of 485 filing is over. Even though it was defeated it doesn't seem to be a very hated idea by the majority since 5 more votes would have made it safe. So there still seems to be a positive factor lingering around for us the "legal immigrants". Hope we are able to capitalize on it soon. IV is infact becomming stronger and more influential thanks to the dedicated efforts of the leader and the members. Pls keep up the spirit for all of us. We need vigilant people like you to do the work to spot opportunities and failures for the community. Thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam,
In your Online Edition the following section in a news item is misleading and misinforming.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1191...googlenews_wsj
"HIGH-TECH EMPLOYERS get lift from House Republican letter to Speaker Pelosi urging passage of immigration bill to help "attract and retain" high-skilled workers. But in the poll, 56% of Republicans earning more than $75,000 annually would "strongly" or "partially" agree with candidate who would bar illegal immigrants from path to citizenship."
High Tech Employers DO NOT employ "Illegal Aliens". All immigrants sponsored by employers are law abiding LEGAL immigrants. Your news item is defamatory and libelous to legal Highly Skilled Immigrants who have been waiting for years, some as long as 6-7 years.
Please take corrective action to rectify the mistake ASAP.

Hello, here are few practical things you can do right away:
1. Call your embassy.
2. Ask to speak with a Legal Attache / Equivalent
3. Explain the case in your native language.
4. Ask for help. Most foreign embassies are setup to help.
Tell them you are helpless. Dont know where to go. Given them 100% facts. Dont feel shy about the 'gory' details.
Remember, this is in the legal system now. Bulletin board responses from here are not as good as solid legal advice and help.
Next, find a local Chinese / Asian community organization. Google for it. If you cant find one locally, search for ones in big cities like NY, Boston etc and ask them for a reference. These groups are setup to help immigrants in distress. You might find an Asian-friendly or Asian lawyer willing to take up your case, FOR FREE. Just ask.
Finally, stop talking to all your neighbors. You can always reserve the right to file a Civil Rights / Discrimination suit. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) can help. Call them. After you call your embassy.
This can be resolved easily if you have the right people on your side. Got it?
Good luck!

i'll break my word for one last piece of advice for my sensistive friend:
"The very reason why we join this forum so that we can, as whole, say something that may influence the law makers of this country to change the existing laws so that our problem with GC will be resolve."
no lawmaker is bothering to read this silly thread. Please stop dreaming. if you want to influence, go meet them! that remain's iv's official word on the matter too...see the meet the lawmaker campaign. and if you already have...you have my respect, you are too good in that case to waste your time complaining about this stuff.
I am not complaining. I'm just trying to point out unnecessary comments.

if you have wired 10k to NRE account, you can get back 10k back and you can easily get clearance from RBI for the amount that you had deposited.
If you need to bring more than what you had transferred then again RBI has set a cap of about 100k per year per person.

Hi BerkleyBee
I totally understand that reporters may skew facts to their specific needs and know first hand that the EB-3 category is retrogressed across all nationalities. I am one of your members that is not from either background mentioned.
I was responding to a post on this forum (and not the press in general) that implied that this issue affects people from specific ethnic backgrounds, which is false.
I do have a general issue that people seem to forget that.
I applaud all core member efforts, however negative this post seems.
Respectfully
Franklin,
It is good to remind people about the facts every once in a while. :) Especially when they are carried away by the force of their own rhetoric. We always appreciate members doing that -- I just wanted to clarify that IV understands your point perfectly.
best,
Berkeleybee

From reading all the testimonies , I didnot see any argument of unfairness to employment based immigrants.
Senate was interested in hearing the plight of a gay american citizen who could not live with his gay partner because his student visa was refused on reentry from Brazil and this gentleman couldnot sponsor him as a family member because the immigration act doesnt recognize gay partners as family members.
I suppose being a gay is going to be a much faster way to becoming a legal permanet resident rather than being a highly skilled indian immigrant.

Yes that is assuming they have not lived in this country for the past 10 years. My husband's employer has filed his GC the last day before the 5 year and every year his job changes to restrcture they keep filing his labor again and again and it is such a mess.
It won't be so terrible for those who filed in 2006/07 to wait another 2-3 years. Plus poeple like me (PD sep 2004) will file in the new Point system reducing backlog for others.

It is June 21, 2008 form 485 Texas base applications.
It seems they have gone back from where they were last month.
