Folks - Amsterdam, Dubai, Brussels are the best way to go. 4 years back, I had problems with Lufthansa, I did not know I ahd to take transit visa and they never allowed me on flight and I had to travel the next day by going to german consulate in morning get visa and went back in afternoon, and surprisingly they had blocked me for that day. Until then, I always used to travel ONLY by lufthansa, but after that experience, I never wanted to. I always fly emirates and I like it.

Don't lose focus of what we are trying to do here. Let's not get caught in the hysteria of media exposure. Our cause is just and our demands are reasonable. They are demands that most Americans would sympathize with if they were properly informed. So, let's stay above board on this. Let's be the smart and educated bunch that we are and be saavy and articulate - This means laying our case to responsible and respectable members of the media and not rabid pundits and ideologues.

Although I agree with you on principle...that cannot bring people in numbers. There will always be people who don't agree with each other. leadership involves channeling both parties energies, those who agree with me and those who don't agree. Sounding arrogant, feeling proud of what I did better than others and looking down upon people who don't agree with me, doesn't help me, right? Who am I to judge somebody's attitude and achievements?
While i whole heartedly agree with what you stated above i don't think this idea is going to work. IV certainly will not want to take the risk of anti-immigrants being part of the advocacy effort and skewing things on the day. Messing up before the representatives will not do IV's credibility and good.
Infact all the donars in this site who keep asking me for donations would not want even me to be at the advocacy even if i donate, seeing how i disagree with them on principle. They would not want to risk me being part of the advocacy group
If i who believe in IV but does not believe in the approach as the approach does not provide relief to badly retrogressed categories is a risk for advocacy then the risk of anti immigrants being part of advocacy is even bigger
On a side note it is good to see some one from EB2 having a rational argument and calling a spade a spade

Thanks a lot. Pls. tell them about immigrationVoice and ask them to cover our issues.
Absolutely - in all responses I include my actual name/ email / sometimes my address or phone number if they request it. I always include a link to the IV homepage and disclose I am a member of the group - along with key issues our group faces (mainly a synopsis of the "green card process and problems" resource page here, and an example case study summary - i.e. "this is what is happening to me")

My lawyer tells me so. Also, the bulletin you cite is very old. Most people stuck in name check, for which BTW there is a separate thread, will coroborrate what i've said.
The bulletin is 2 years old (if that is considered old, given the GC standards). However, no new bulletins have followed to void it. Unless I have been advising with the wrong lawyer and wrong GC applicants (many), there is no such thing as I-485 Approval before the name check is completed. Any third party would like to comment?

I have created several documents and am working on a similar one as outlined below. But we need 50 people working on such items instead of one.
We have lots of ideas pouring into threads here but most are soon forgotten and not followed up on.
gc_peshwa has created a googlegroup to deal with participating on USCIS calls etc. We can add this agenda to that group to prevent creation of too many googlegroups and spreading ourselves thin. Alternatively we have a "Media" googlegroup as well which is dormant. That group could be used for this purpose.
Yes I agree, with the number of active volunteers we have in all of IV, a single group should be sufficient. we could use the other group "Media" to store documentation/PDFs mostly.
I have gone thorugh the other doc before about legal immigration.
I refered to the way the illegal reporter obtained estimates. The income tax paid is about $1.24 Billion, ITEP conservatively estimates that 50 percent of unauthorized immigrants ! are paying income taxes
as for the rest, its based on population and assumes they pay sales tax & property tax in the first place:
"# Sales tax is automatic, so it is assumed that unauthorized residents would pay sales tax at similar rates to U.S. citizens and legal immigrants with similar income levels.
# Similar to sales tax, property taxes are hard to avoid, and unauthorized immigrants are assumed to pay the same property taxes as others with the same income level. ITEP assumes that most unauthorized immigrants are renters, and only calculates the taxes paid by renters."
With the elections coming around in 2012 and campaigns sure to start in 6 months, its valuable to create documentation describing legal employment based immigration. Illlegals will be discussed many times, and its our job to also take part in those debates & message boards, whetehr its CNN or a website from LA, etc

Similar situation...
I am getting married in the 1st week of Sep and am planning to get my spouse by mid Sep.
Can someone please suggest if I am fine, if I apply alone for I-485 around Jul30(and not for EAD and AP??) and add my spouse around sep20th. I-140 approval is pending and have a valid visa till '08.
How long does it take for the I-485 'approval' and is 2-3 months a safe window to add ones spouse?
Any suggestions and help with my planning are greatly appreciated. :)
I am in a similar situation. I am getting married in July 4th 2007. (What a day to loose my independence) in India. I am planning to come back and file my 485 before July 30th. My spouse is going to endorse her passport and come soon after, but won't be before Aug 15th. I also wanted to know what was the time window after my filing that I could still add my spouse. I have approved I140, PD is Nov 2006.

I agree that having things work efficiently without bribes is of course the best way.
But faced with a choice between bureaucracy that cannot be solved, or bureacracy that can be solved by paying a few extra bucks, which is better?
About USCIS using PP fees to pay salaries, arent the fees for non-PP also used for the same purpose? the same amount of work goes into it, the same number of people do it, the only difference is that with PP it gets done faster. Tell me, isnt that the definition of a bribe?
Not trying to convince you, but seriously I would like to understand if there is a reason for the extra fee.
Incentives are often given to workers for extra work. In a back-logged situation, people working at USCIS are working more than they used to (when they started these jobs). They may also need extra recources to clear these backlogs. I am guessing the extra money is being used for these expenditures.

I received IRS tax audit check for year 2005 last week. I guess mostly I can defend my audit and I have scheduled an appointment with IRS tax manager for next week
However god forbid if I have to pay penalty on audit,I was wondering this would impact anything on my 485 process. Does it have any impact
Appreciate your thoughts.
If anyone faced this problem please, please give ur ideas
Most audits are routine, once you can back up your claims with paper records/receipts you will be OK, but consult with your CPA and be ready to address the points raised.
Unless you have been found to commit criminal fraud, it should not affect your green card petition. Small penalties and the like have no effect. Last year I had to pay a small penalty because I underestimated my taxes deducted during the year.
You are getting an audit for the 2005 year now? I would have thought they would have moved on by now. Did you take an extension and file late last year?

well..I have been waiting for my labor certifcation to get certfied for too long. just after Sep 11 I applied both for US GC and Canadian PR. My wife also applied for her GC. meanwhile her GC moved to regional when suddenly DOL thought it was time to regroup and there it went into BPC. In the meantime we got canadian PR some 2 years ago but we did not move thinking that we have jobs here.Then she got pregnant and lot of complications ( premature labor) and during those complications her company got acquired by another bigger firm who thought they don't need her..and result was job loss plus GC into the trash....meanwhile my labor certification even after 5 years was still sleeping in EB3 category(PD Oct, 2001) when i still have Masters( god knows why my lawyer put into that category)..Now my canadian PR was set to expire in march, 2007..so I thought i should decide fast..and i applied for jobs..and I got offer in vancouver with moving expenses paid from califronia..It has been the toughest decision because my employer is Indian here in california..and I have had good growth(10% average) but not the way I had wanted..I guess he also exploits..Indian exploiting another Indian..because they know I am not going anywhere..plus we work hard.. I asked him to match what was being offered in vancouver..and he started converting CAD into USD..well..it is not fair..So I have decided to heck with US and the Employer..and move on...at least I can come back..it is not an easy move because my son being premature child had lot of free facilities in california..hopefully he will get the same in Vancouver until he gets to 3 years ..and then it stops..
I have been in this country too long..and I guess one should settle down rather just wait for them to give GC...reading the other post about one lady whose EAD card got expired just tells me that how inconsistent this GC process can be and right until the end...
Anyway that is all for now

It is really sad.
Pls keep in touch with IV forum. The deadline for this reporter has expired but I will keep you in mind for any future story. your story will be useful for reporters covering this cause and ultimately will reach lawmakers and public through media reports. I wish things could work out for you in US. It is sad and there are thousands of people like you with badly affected personal lives due to the broken immigration system. A lot of my motivation to work for IV also comes from coming across people like you and thus feel strongly to do something to solve problems affecting each one of us in the IV community we have all built. Good luck and best wishes.

We have many in our company went back to India after applying 485 or with pending labor, their GC process still in progress
but they choose to goto India mainly becuase of uncertain GC process
I myself have a good offer from my company which I am pondering on, I am stuck here for a while to finish my masters
if I go back to India, it could be that I might taking many more jobs, as I need to train and build a team in India and replace my team here
oh well, I am sure there are stories similar to this we got to find it, we need to show losing one skilled labor could also mean losing many more

I guess I did posted in general section. I did not noticed other news sections ...as you can see I am new here.
And if you just want positive posts ....thats good.
Then leave some negative thinking,
I dont have any other details other than ..what I have on my profile.
Friend, with all due respect; what the members requested was to post some information about yourself. are you a immigrant? do you have any application pending / approved etc.
This helps us identify with you as a group.
Thanks for bringing this visa abuse issue to our attention. Just as in any other trade, surely there are many abusers, however, this economy fueled itself to the top of the world in a lot of things using talents from around the world and that was mainly via the temporary work visas including H1b. Now you might meet 1 person in say 100000 who falls into the catagory you mentioned and none of us entertain such people with any respect.

Just talked to an IO. My case was filed between July 3rd and 15th at Nebraska. I didn't get the receipt # , but the IO gave it to me over phone. Surprise surprise!! The case was transferred to california service center and my rcpt is a WAC number instead of a LIN number!!
For example, check: wac0725850164
That's why NSC is compliant, but people haven't received notices.
I hope this reduces some FUD. If you do not find this info useful, move on!!
I propose a scheme where people, when posting some information that's not speculative, prefix the subject with [NS] (Non-speculation). That will help in figuring out which threads to ignore.
What is the phone number you are calling USCIS on? Can they give you a receipt number without the checks being encashed if your I-140 was approved at the same service center?

I found the EAD v/s H1B article quite informative, articulate and really eye-opening. I dont see any issues with posting links to other immigration sites, PROVIDED those links are not simply marketing links and DO actually provide good immigration-related info. Some of the stuff he has written makes a lot of sense and Ron is not taking the same stance everyone else takes where they advise people to stay on H1B status to keep milking them for attorney fees.

One of my friends wanted to travel abroad, and her lawyer asked her not to, it because she would lose her H1 status. I guess even the same thing is mentioed on Murthy's web site too, where it was mentioed that it better to get your H1 stamped, if you do not want to lose H1.
So, I am surprised to hear that we could travle on AP, and also come back and extend our H1.
