gc28262 why are you promoting a lawyer website? lawyers run a for profit business and will get more clients when more people visit their site.
Why dont you make an effort and bring the discussion from other websites to IV site?
What is wrong with lawyers ? And that too a reputable lawyer like murthy.
Don't you use lawyers directly or indirectly for your immigration work ?
Facts are facts irrespective of where it comes from.

Interesting discussion about 245(i) cases on murthy.com forum (http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=1474093861&m=7381004591)
Indication of large number of 245(i) labor filings (http://www.murthy.com/news/UDmdlab.html): murthy.com
The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Registration (DLLR) announced in mid-December, 2001 that their office is logging in and issuing confirmation of receipt for cases received on April 30, 2001. A remaining 1,500 applications received that day await the logging-in process.
As MurthyBulletin and MurthyDotCom readers may be aware, April 30, 2001 was the deadline to file for INA Section 245(i) eligibility under the Legal Immigration and Family Equity Act (LIFE Act) of December 2000. This provision allows individuals who are out-of-status or who entered the U.S. without being inspected at a designated INS port of entry to adjust to permanent residence, if they are otherwise qualified. In order to benefit from this provision, the individual must be the beneficiary of a labor certification or a family petition filed on or before April 30, 2001. For this reason, extraordinary numbers of cases were filed nationwide on or slightly before April 30, 2001. According to the information released by the Maryland DLLR and other states, local DOL offices did not receive additional funding in connection with the LIFE Act filings.
With respect to case processing, the DLLR reports that they are processing RIR cases received April 5, 2001 and non-RIR cases received March 8, 2001. Of course, these processing dates will be further affected by the glut of cases filed on or immediately before the LIFE Act deadline.
These time frames are similar to those experienced in most other states that are attempting to catch up on the huge volume of cases filed on or before April 30, 2001. We will share information with our MurthyBulletin and MurthyDotCom readers as and when released by other state labor agencies.

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.

Well I am one of those guys who visits immigrationvoice almost on a daily basis and benefit a lot, but never bothered to even think about making a contribution.
The reason behind this is not so much a matter of not wanting to contribute, but just a preconceived notion of "What difference can my contribution make".
Your post is certainly an eye opener.
We complain so much about the lack of a quick turnaround for our issues, yet expect someone else to work to resolve the problem, while shamelessly hoping to benefit from the resolution with zero participation in the efforts.
Sorry IV, for my past indifference. I have started my monthly $20 contribution and hope to increase it in the near future.

I guess we have enough people convinced and for those short sighted ones will have an option whether they want to get naturalized or live on their dear GCs so by that time if they educate themselves they will be convinced too.
Now what are the next steps in chanelling this effort through IV Core?
IV Core, please go through this thread and consolidate all the valid and genuine points and consider this for the phase 2 campaign...

I am not really not sure if this is true. Logiclife and other core team members have already mentioned that nothing happened so you might see a correction on immigration-law.com tomorrow, like we have seen before. We all wish it was true, however. :(
i also doubt this. Has this website posted wrong information before?

Update to my case (below): got a text message on 4/23 saying that VSC now sent it back to TSC (where I had sent it in the first place a month ago). Have to wait for the paper notice to see what silly reason they give for doing this, and delaying the app by another month.
my EAD app was delivered to tx on 3/29, and I got a text on 4/6 saying it was accepted and routed to VSC. A few days later, I got the notice in the mail.

According to the Tax Ofi
http://www.rediff.com/news/2001/apr/17us2.htm
Taxes, but No Social Security for Indian H1-B Visa Holders
Aseem Chhabra
A few years ago Ajay Sehgal (not his real name), a young Indian high tech worker based in Connecticut, received a letter from the Social Security Administration.
The letter stated that through the six years that Sehgal lived and worked in the United States -- first on an H-1B visa and later while his greencard application was pending -- he had contributed approximately $50,000 in social security taxes.
Since he was unsure of whether his greencard petition would be approved, Sehgal thought he could cash in the $50,000 and return to India. So he approached his local social security office.
"It is my money after all," Sehgal said recently. "If they will not allow me to live in this country, if I cannot retire in this country, then they should allow me to take my money and return to India. Right?"
Wrong, said the local social security office. He was told that foreign employees (including those on H-1B visas) who may have worked in the America for a few years could claim social security benefits upon retirement, but this depends on the country of their origin.
In fact, Sehgal later learned, as an Indian citizen on a temporary visa such as H-1B, he could not receive any social security retirement benefits -- even though he had legally paid his social security taxes.
"An Indian national on an H-1B visa is here for a period of six years," said Herb Loring, a social insurance program specialist with the SSA office in New York City. "And this person would get nothing. That is the law."
"But if this person came back and worked for four more years, under whatever status, and fulfilled the '40-quarters' exception rule, then this person could receive social security retirement benefits," Loring added. "Basically they cannot collect their money if they are an Indian national, unless they meet the exception."
The '40-quarter' exception rule, Loring explained, means that this person should have worked in the United States for at least 10 years. He added that this exception rule applies to citizens of over 30 countries who may have been employed in America for part of their career. The list of countries includes India, China, Afghanistan, Thailand, Kenya, Tunisia and Bangladesh, he said.
Loring added that workers from several Western European countries and Canada can claim social security benefits even if they worked in the United States for less than 10 years. The reason he said is the United States has treaties of reciprocity with these countries.
"The reciprocity rule in the treaties means that if a US citizen went to this other country and worked there for a few years under that country's retirement system, then the US citizen could also collect retirement benefits from that country," Loring said.
In addition, the United States also has 'totalization agreements' with some countries, such as the United Kingdom, under which US nationals can receive retirement benefits based on their combined work history at home and in the other country.
But America has not signed any such treaty with India, Loring said. He suggested that the reason could be that India does not have a national retirement system similar to the United States and many other Western nations.
"I cannot comment on the question of fairness or unfairness," Loring said. "This is law in the United States."
But for workers like Ajay Sehgal the laws reek of discrimination, especially since the largest contingent of H-1B visa workers in the United States are from India and China.
"I call this daylight robbery," Sehgal fumed. "This rule has to be changed."
"Giving us a greencard or not giving us a greencard is your right. I fully appreciate it. But why do you rob us of our social security? If you are a fair country, either give us the greencard or refund the social security."

I-485 Approval and Wife Still on H-4 [Archive] - Immigration Voice (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-10649.html)
I believe that as soon as you file under section 245k, your spouse will be eligible for EAD, AP.
Also, I have heard that 245k is straightforward and will be granted quickly- meaning your spouse will be granted gc in a couple months.
