AILA talks about the letter:
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22870
"The Department's unprecedented decision to reject adjustment of status applications has caused needless hardship and disruption to countless immigrants," noted Rep. Zoe Lofgren. "It has also come to my attention that USCIS began returning visa numbers to the State Department as early as Thursday, July 5, 2007, due to their inability to review applications effectively. The Department of Homeland Security has once again demonstrated its inability to complete even its core missions. This debacle demonstrates the need for more transparency and oversight of the department's operations and procedures."
-------------------------
what does returning visa numbers mean? does that mean they still have visa numbers available, if that's the case they can't reject our applications :mad:

this whole thread is a nonsense, it belevies that people are not aware of the tricks placed by desi consulting companies. how come people do not take jobs
in foutune 500 companies if they are so good at their skills, why do people go to
desi consulting companies for training, after MS degree every body is asking for
the list of consulting companies( why do they do that ).
there are people who ask is it valid to be without payslips on H1B ( how much
more ignorent can u be ) , bottom line they could not find the project and they want to blame the desi company for not paying them ( trash ).
wake up people.
thanks

i odn't think it passed. what was included in the amendment is s1121 and not s113 that has our provisions. please clarify.
you seem to be correct ....
i just looked at the amendments in detail and this provision was in SA 180 (page 1113)
On the other hand SA 187 (page 1121) seems to have passed.
I am a bit unsure though of what happened to SA 180. Did it get amended by some other amendment. It does not appear to have been tabled.
I apologize to everyone but I had stated right in the beginning that I may be totally wrong.

If we want to be all inclusive and get more support for this movement then we should try to include more and more people. Having said that we can expand that by adding provision for,
1) Time spent as Students in F1 or similar category.
2) Time spent by Research Scholar for e.g PHD holder who may have spent 5-7 years working on PHD's, and they would love to capture those times.
What you guys think?
These are the points I suggested in my previous thread on Citizenship. It covers all individuals:
1. If they are legally here for 10 years (With approved I-140 and waiting for Adjustment of Status without current date).
2. If they have earned full 40 points in Social Security (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/#)
3. If they have paid the tax continuously for 10 years
4. If they own a house and paying Mortgage (adding weightage to the Economy (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/#) boost)
and
5. If they do not have any criminal records in these 10 years.

Hello Gurus,
I have a question as follows. I was with an old company and transferred the H1 in the 9th year to the new company. I already had my Labor and I-140 approved with the old company (EB3-I Category).
After switching to this new company I had to start my PERM all over again as I missed the July 2007 boat and could not file for I-485. My new company is based in L.A.-California. I am already drawing my salary from new company. They only have office in L.A. I work for them from my home office in NJ. Today the company's attorney called & asked me that I needed to have L.A. residential address as it is required to be stated on the application. I have no intentions to move to L.A. in near future. I am in a fix now as to how to go about this. I will appreciate all you gurus and experts advice and also please advise me repercussions if any.
Please help.

I don't think you need to worry about that anymore.
We can create a small area within IV forums for people to share knowledge on various non immigration subjects. What do you think?

I am currently working on H1B. My wife is currently in India with approved I797 for H1B (starting Oct 07). We are debating whether to get H1 or H4 stamped on passport. (H4 is totally our decision and for H1 we need to depend on her company's schedule).
- Can she come to the US on H4 (lets say next month) and if and when she finds a job (lets say next year), can she switch to H1? Is there a time limit before H1 will become invalid?
- If she comes to the US on H4, are there any issues changing status to H1?
- Are there issues when she goes to India again to get H1 stamped?
- Is there a difference between the I797 approval notice if a person is out of US vs. in US? (I have read something about I-94. I thought I-94 is always attached to 797 approval notice).
Thanks, I appreciate any useful info.

My wife got her approval documents yesterday. Effective H1 date on I-94 starts from Oct 2007. Anyone knows how soon can she file for SSN or does she have to wait till Oct 1st.
She obviously cannot wait till Oct 1st or she won't get paid for the first week (at least). Contact the SSN office to find out how soon you have to file. In my opinion, you are eligible to get an SSN the moment you receive work authorization (even if its for a future date).

Guys,
Please give it a thought. What IV is doing right now for GC related issues would be more or less the same kind of agenda after most of the folks get GC and will be yelling at the processing times for Citizenship. I bet on it!
There is nothing wrong in thinking ahead of time and especially having the
process initiated and getting refined with the great folks we have here(ignore the ugly stupids who cannot understand the intent of this thread)
Appreciate your idea Saralayar. Keep going!
Cheers,
Srini

Here are my thoughts about May visa Bulletin:
The severe retrogression of EB3 has nothing to do with EB1C (if at all this will affect something, that would be spill over to EB2). This severe retrogression is the result of "FBI name check backlog" being cleared up. We never had actual info as to how many of "super old" cases were pending due to this: Now that they have cleared it up over the past year, it seems to me that it used up most of the visa numbers for EB3 during this fiscal year. This is actually a good news for the people who were waiting for almost a decade, but not so good news for the recent filers.
The main uncertainty is: How many more visa numbers would be needed to actually finish this "name check backlog"...we simply don't know; hopefully not too many.
Impact of this on EB2 would be of similar magnitude and therefore, we can consider that this fiscal year got "almost completely chewed up" in clearing those name check cases. For EB2, actual impact wouldbe apparent (hopefully) in the last quarter when EB2 India an china will move toghether (if the dates are similar like last fiscal year; i.e. 2006, then we can say that it took "year worth of visa numbers" to fix the name check mess. At the same time, some of the effect would be due to EB1C, but I personally have serious doubt that it would have changed much compared to previous years (we will only come to know about EB1C impact once the year end stats will be out and if we see significant change in EB1 usage)..
In any case, "EB2 being current in one year" dream of VDLRAO will not come true (I personally supported this thought last year), mainly because of clearing of FBI name check backlog (which is actually a good thing). However, actual impact on EB2 will be clarified only once spill over starts to EB2 and dates of India and china move together.
Any additional thoughts would be welcome.
(PS: I do not know much about EB1C, and as I mentioned above, actual impact of it would be difficult to determine until the EB1 usage numbers come out, but I sincerely dont think it had anything to do with EB3 being unavailable so early).

There is no harm in adding this also as the fifth item along with the existing 4 items. :D
Yeah, but the 5th item being demanded is the same as a free trip to the moon with out any flight training. In a logical and sensible world it will not work and will make this forum and organization look like one having no motive or direction with every demand being considered viable, just beacuse it "sounds like a great idea" to a few folks.

This is a great suggestion, and thinking ahead is the name of the game!
I guess after Dual CitizenShip now in operation majority people might be interested in Citizenship and why not avail those benefits US passport is welcome in 3/4 of the world, for all the people who have travelled knows how cumbersome immigration procedures are in various countries.
Anyway Phase 2 suggestion of lobbying for including the the number of years of leagally living here in the citizenship count and getting an "option" of becoming a citizen when GC is issued would be great (because most people who have applied there GCs have been here atleast 5 years :))
The Guys who already have GC should also support this idea as they will be benifited by this as well.
good going!

I guess DOS/DHS won't provide all documentation, just like recent firing of US attorney.
I wonder how much power these committees have. It is clear from her letter that DOS/DHS chose not to respond to her or send her any info and defy her request to continue accepting AOS applications until she had a chance to review the matter closely. Committee has the subpoena power to force the document release and hold hearing but if DOS/DHS ignore her letter again, I wonder what would she do.
I guess the deadline is tomorrow so we'll see how this unfolds.

Is this happening this year too - TSC is giving approvals and not NSC? Last Aug / September when my priority date was current - it was the same, i know of people who got approved from TSC whose PD were 12/05.

Its awesome - I dare trying unknown Indian restaurants because either they serve too spicy or too light and the taste is different than Real Indian. But this was authentic taste of Indian Food.
Myself and Dilip ate that Indian food before meeting Senator Kerry's office. Mohit and Kishore had Mexican food but they saw the Indian food all the time.
No wonder the overall meeting with 4 of us was really good :) :)
chanduv23:
Same here. It was great meeting you all, seeing the faces behind the voices and names. It was an emotional high.
Pappu and me stopped at Union Stn for lunch on the way back after the rally. We were both physically drained and famished. Our jaws dropped when we spotted a desi restaurant there. You all should have seen how we attacked the food !
