Hi friends,
I am from south east Michigan just like everyone else here standing in the never ending line of gruesome and crippled immigration system.
Let us come together and help IV achieve our goals.
It is high time, that we ask for what we deserve. And it wont come unless we stand up for ourselves.
thanks....

NSC is like a lottery station. You have no idea when your petition will get adjudicated. Forget the dates. There are only two categories; lucky and unlucky. Lucky guys get out in one year. Unlucky guys stuck for three or four years.
As of now, they are concentrating all the resources towards approving as many Naturalization petitions as possible. Say, 70-80% of their resources are concentrated on that process. They are under tremendous pressure from politicians to get as many new voters for upcoming November elections as possible.
Hiring new staff and training them is going on but you will not see the results until January or February 2009. Apparently, these agents will have to go through thorough FBI check before selected for training. As usual, it met with few bureaucratic delays. They are at least 7 months behind their target in hiring new staff.
Remember, this same agency released "Strategic Vision" report in 2004, where they proclaimed to adjudicate I-140s in 180 days and eliminate backlogs before the end of Bush's presidency. Wow! what an efficient implementation of the "Strategy". Soon, they will come up with a "New Vision", which will get blurred within days. Story repeated.
So, EB guys, forget about our I-140s and 485s for a while. They will crawl, atleast until October end.
More over, what you are dealing with is the most inefficient and callous agency in the US government. Since this agency does not deal directly with US citizens, very rarely they will have to answer anybody, unless they screw up big time.
There are only two things that get you green card; patience and luck.
Good luck to all of us.

It is very comprehensive list. It covers every field. Graduates of pharmacy, medicine, vet medicine etc are not PhDs. They have to go through special programs to get that degree.
thanx for your reply. However I am afraid you misunderstood pharmacy, medicine, vet med PhDS with practice professionals PharmD, MD,DVM.The people who made the list of STEM have ignored the fact that Research is highly interdisciplinary. This is unfair for many researchers in biology who should be in the STEM majors but they are not in just because of technical/clerical reasons. I request you all to take a look at this anomaly.
Thanks

Cool down dude, I can understand OPs frustrations, I am in same boat and see similar cases around, not that ead or ap is anything great, just that someone who applied before feels rejected seeing TSC giving out eads like cookies:)
When did you apply ??

Yes, at this point, my fear is that my file is missing or just sitting somewhere and collecting dust. I have not seen a status update since September 2007 on my case. I filed AC 21 last year, and did not see any LUD at that time. The only LUD after September 2007 that I had was this year, this was when I applied for AP and EAD renewal.
I am going to be asking my attorney to send an email to TSC streamline procedure, and will also submit a problem with CIS Ombudsman. That is what my plan is for the next 13 days.
Other than that, I am not sure what can be done. Will writing to the first lady help? I dont want to get the same standard answer that we got when the local senator send an inquiry.
I agree, I think EB2 will retrogess when October bulletin comes out. We will then have to wait until September 2010.
Come september 2010, we will start from scratch again and will hear the same thing - wait 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, etc....
Hang in there, is all I can say!!

I have an email reply saying -
1) They are not going to provide a corrected W2 since they changed the payroll company starting 01/01/2009
2) The HR has asked me to report those wages even without a W2
3) They also wrote they have not received the Insurance Company payment statements which was not true because the Insurance Company did mailed those documents in the 2nd week of January and the HR also confirmed over the phone that they have received.
I have the statements from the Insurance Company that shows SS and Medicare taxes withheld. The statements also say it should be reported in the year end W2. I have also faxed the Insurance Company statements to them and have a confirmation report.
I really didn't want to file a complaint but since my wife has to receive W2 for the next year 2009 also, I felt they might do the same next year.

I have two 797s: one which is current valid till June 2007 and the other from July '07 till July '10 (using my approved I140). I am going for visa stamping this March at Chennai consulate. Can they combine both my 797s and stamp me till 2010 or they'll do it only till June 2007?
They will stamp for the latest i797A. The old one is obsolete. If you notice the I94 numbers are the same.

Keep in mind when you change to your new Job .Your previous labor was approved in specific job code plus your advertisement which your old company used for filing perm application. All those job requirements need to match at least by 50% or so.

Chandu is one of the active folks/volunteers who is helping us more that we are helping ourselves... His push and constant nagging are coming as +ve reminder who couldn't send letter due to hectic schedule or are still Procrastinating ( there is a huge chunk of people like this ) . At the same time there are a certain gang of folks who will never send letter , never support anything - just eat the fruit of other's labor and be proud and happy !!!
My personal request to Chandu would be - Pls continue the push and nag but keep it above the beltline. Let's not create 5 threads but do the push 5 times in 1 thread.
I'm a supporter of Chandu and other IV folks like Chandu - so dont take me wrong.
Nothing wrong in posting threads that help support a cause. My question to all those who are attacking me - why are we fighting among ourselves? Why can we not work towards the goal?
Please keep up the good work - you are doing a great job.

My personal situation: I was on F1 visa for 6 years before I started LC process with a company for a totally unrelated to my field of studies position (EB3). We had PERM approved and filed I-140, with me still on F1. I-140 was approved and now we are stuck in retrogression. Meanwhile, and after I-140 was approved, I graduated and applied for H1B based on my major. I have disclosed on H1B application that I have I-140 approved from another company and attached a copy. Not a question asked. H1B was approved within 9 days (cap exempt). And there's more. Because I violated my F1 status years ago by accepting unauthorized employment (tracable through taxes), my lawer told me to leave the country and re-enter, to cut the tail clean and be eligable for adjustment of status when the quotas open up. I went to Canada, and applied for H1B visa stamp, disclosing on the applicqation that I have I-140 approved and have violated my visa terms previously ("yes" to question 38, in "kiss of death" section of the application). Very stressful time that was. But in the end - no problem, got the stamp and was back in two days.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. I hope this helps.
Thank you very much for this reply. This is exactly the situation I am facing now. I am feeling a little better. Thanks a lot again.

I am 19 yrs old and on H4 visa since Sept 2002. Will this act be of any help for students on H4 who will get be aging out shortly at 21 yrs.
Your valuable input will be of great help. Please share your views.
Or is the act only for students of Illegal parents.
Thanks
My son and you are in the same boat. He came here 9 years ago went to middle/high school here. Now, he is in college and will turn 21. He will not get his greencard because he is here on H4 legally.
Isn't that a shame?

But remember that this does NOT include 3 LARGE groups of potential EB's:
1. Those who have NOTHING filed with USCIS yet, since their LC is still at the BEC==>THIS IS CORRECT
2. Those whose I-140's have been approved, but can't file I-485 yet.==>I THINK THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN ACCOUNT OF BY USCIS.
3. The dependants of (1) and (2).==>THIS IS CORRECT
None of the above would be counted as having a 'pending' case with USCIS.==>nO.2 HAS BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR

I agree with you. Why we don`t explore this option ???? USCIS make so many rule by itself then why they don`t make this rule to file 485 while PD is not current without going in Senate. Like they start premium processing of I-140. They make this rule without any bill in US Senate. correct me if I am wrong
I think, core team should look this option or ask us to find more information about it. I think, core team can meet with high official from USCIS.
what do you guys think about it ??
thx.

Noone is forcing them to be ehre - you are saying. And I am saying: nobody should be forcing them out, either. They are ehre because they want to be here and because they want to discuss something with other people who are here - administrative problems or philosohpical issues.
'You should trust the organization in what they do' - you are saying. The organization should not be perceived as an abstract, 'know-it-all' deity that we, tiny humans have to blidnly follow. The organization is us collectively and we should not be following it, but leading it or at least taking it somewhere. Sometimes the road is straight and goes forward, sometimes there seem to be multiple roads that need exploring which may or may not coverge again. Sometimes the journey is not continuous and you need to stop, consult a map or a compass and realing yourself. There is nothing wrong with that. There should never be blind trust because that will sooner or later drive us all down the cliffs.
'If you have ideas talk to the core and discuss with them in person' - that is exactly what we are doing. Throwing around ideas and discussing them amongst ourselves. Sometimes the discussion is easy and disciplined and constructive and sometimes it is hard and confrontational and destructive. I think that if it is too confrontational or too destrcutive that indicates that not all is well within the group - I would refrain from calling it an organization just yet - and the ideas are not mature or ready yet and/or the group is not really cohesive and it is really not one group. Both of which are problems that need to be addressed and dealt with. By stifling discussion and censoring out ideas that you do not like, you are doing a disservice to the entire group because the group has to discover what is the cause of the destructive confrontation otherwise it cannot successfully function and fulfill its objectives.
For those who dont agree with what IV is doing, no one's forcing them to follow what IV does and certainly no ones forcing them to be here, but if you are here then you should at least trust the organization in what they do.
If you have ideas talk to the core and discuss with them in person or call them... i m sure they will be glad to take it up if the idea benefits everyone and not just me or you... breaking off driving folks in different direction is not the solution, it will snow ball into a big problem.

Thanks chanduv23! I used the template he provided this morning (with some editing) to email senators from my state of residence.
Guys, please use this template to email senators from your state.
Also, please contribute to IV. I just did today, and believe me, you will feel better for doing so...
This is not just for you and me, but also for those who will come after us. Also, this is not a battle just to sue USCIS/DOS, but a war we need to fight on multiple fronts:
1) First and foremost, we the immigrant community need to join hands and fight as one cohesive group.
2) Sue the government agencies for damages/violation of law/precedents due to the revised visa bulletin
3) Get this matter the attention it deserves in the media
4) Try and get congress to intervene in this matter, and also introduce and pass legislation that will fix the broken employment based immigration system
5) Request corporate sponsorship. Since employers spent money on this fiasco as well, they will have a vested interest in pursuing this as well.
The main thing, however, is funds. IV needs funds to fight for us. Each of us has already spent 100's (many even 1000's) of $ trying to get ready to file our I-485's. So even if 10,000 members contribute just $100 each, it will be $1 mil. I am sure each of us can at least spare that much. It is a small price to pay for liberation from this GC mess for all of us....
With ~15,000 members already, and hopefully some serious $$$$$$ raised, IV will be a force to be reckoned with. No one will be able to treat us with such utter disdain ever again...

Q1) i am applying for the first time for my i-485 that requires i-693 form.
My question is, do i have to submit my i-485 together with my i-693, or do i have to apply first the i-485 form and then wait until i get a respond from the USCIS.
I was told that i am supposed to wait for the respond from the USCIS after applying my
i-485, and the USCIS will designate the doctors for my I-693, which means i cannot choose any doctors on my own. But in this reform , according to the users' discussion, so far i understand that you can apply for the i-693 form regardless if you have already applied for the i-485 form.
Q2) To simplify my second question, while i am applying for my i-485, and before its submission to the USCIS, can i start making an appointment with my local Surgeon?
