The aim of participation on these talk shows is two fold- One to increase the awareness amongst the general masses regarding the problems being faced by legals as the masses are mostly ignorant about out situation. Secondly, for people who are waiting for their GC's and could be potentail members of Immigration Voice for them to join the organization. It has been proven time and again that there is strength in numbers and also the organization needs resources from it's members.
It is a logistical challange to put a program like this together with the host and the panel and IV did a good job at it with knowledgebile authorities like Stuart coming out strongly supporting our cause. Every one felt that the moderation could have been better. It is the skill of Larry King or Neil Conan of NPR that sets them apart but some times there are moderators who are very knowledgible, not necessarily on every issue but are challenged becuase of their heavy accent and other reasons.
One of the posts questioned about the publicity stunt of having a senator on the program. I am not sure if every one realizes the amount of ground work that has to be done to make that happen and must I say that all the efforts were made to get them but it did not work out finally in the end because of issues with timing.
Over all, in my opinion, it was a good program and served IV's agenda.

After all these days it appears many people are still not clear about the difference between 485 processing times and priority date movement.
The two are completely different entities. When USCIS talks of backlogs they do not mean backlogs due to retrogression (PD unavailability). They are talking about the number of applications they received and the time it takes for them to process them.
When USCIS says it will clear the backlog by 2010, it means applications filed after that time will be processed in a timely manner (in less than 6 months). It does not mean that all the 485s before that time wil be approved. It only means these 485s will be processed and thrown into a cold sorage bin to be looked at again whenever the PD becomes available.
When retrogression started in 2005, EB2 India jumped forward by 6 months each visa bulletin. The reason was namecheck delays combined with the problem of Labors with Old PDd languishing in BECs. As both these problems have been eliminated now and also many EB3 filers from that time are switching over to EB2, it is highly unlikely that one will see wide movement in India EB2.

Once you send the emails, post a message on this thread so we know how many are actively working on this.:D

This is how it should be done...
- request USCIS to port your PD from already approved I-140 from past employer
USCIS may or may not do it for you
- if not apply for I-485 using Category of 2nd (should be EB2) and PD from 1st one. You need to attach both of these with I-485 application and of course a covering letter stating what you are doing.
Here is the extract from the law -
QUOTE
(3) Priority Date Based on Earlier Petition.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification.

I am not a lawyer and this is not a legal advise. You may want to talk a immigration attorney for exact interpretation
Now why I suggested you yesterday not to do it -
2nd option - may seem like you would be adjudicated using PD from 1st and Category from 2nd (EB2). But this is what USCIS is telling me know-
we would approve your application if either of these PD gets current in their respective categories.
Kid! you got it now...:rolleyes:

One worthless post!!!
Thank you for your information.I hope you know the situation right now in USA.In jan 2010 H1 people came to Newark Airport were asked to form in a separate queue as soon as they get down from the flight for two levels of interview.Some of them are sent back.Now you can't find employer to transfer your H1 immediately.Before two years it was possible to transfer H1 with out having recent pay stubs and they never asked client letter.Now if you don't have a job you can't transfer your H1 to anybody.
Before Sep 2009 it was two minutes time to take LCA. Now it takes 1 week time to approve LCA. We never heard about Employer-Employee relationship before 2010.

yes, we should show "paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals." means 1500M/20M = $75 per person ????
a Blog would be better in my opinion as groups requires signup and not easily searchable via internet.

Immigration and education should be two seperate things. NO support to categorize further on immigration, We should take out the country cap. It should be First come first serve basis. with necessary background checks on education and skills.

Thanks for the thoughts. My EAD was approved last week and I already got it in mail.
I aske my attorney's office and they say "document mailed" means its approved. I dont know what to make of it, guess I'll just wait to see something in mail.
Hi ,
I too got the same notice that the "Document is mailed" for AP. I hope it is the approval notice and no other information is req to process the case.
Has anyone else got the same notice before receiving the actual AP docs in mail. Please let me know
thanks.

The FBI name check is not a side problem that once we finish fighting other problems, let's come back and pick up another problem. This is one of the major obstacles in the GC and Citizenship process which unfortunately is not transparent and there is no data available to tell you when you will pass this obstacle. If the attitude of some of the members in this organization is the delay in FBI name check is not going to happen to them and it is only random and a side problem, think again and watch out for what will be coming your way. By no means, this is not a side problem, this is one of those hidden obstacles that you don't know it is in your way once you hit it...and once you hit it, you are stuck. There is no congressman, senator or individual to help you. If we are going to be united and make the GC process transparent, we should not hand pick some of the problems that we want to fight today and come back to other problems later. You are going to soon realize how gigantic the delay with FBI name check is.

Thanks everyone for being patient and supporting us. The work is happening at all ends and it is an uphill task.
We really need to increase our membership. Higher membership will mean us looking tall when we meet lawmakers. Please all try to help us spread the word of IV to everyone you know that is stuck in retrogression. We represent at least half million people but we currently not even have 6 thousand members. Thus we have to bring lot many people into IV. I would encourage everyone to pls. register on this forum instead of being visitors.
Pls try to help us increase our membership in your own capacity, in any way you can. This is something everyone on this forum can help us with.
What is current strenght of IV? I have not seen the number changed or updated for long?...Any update on Membership count as well as funds will be appreciated

It was a disclaimer. I never said it was bad for you. But there have been people estimating it will still take 2-3 yrs for eb3 to reach 2005 ....is that true????.. i have no idea since the data cant be broken down at PERM level.
I just wanted to underscore that my promising feeling might not seem promising to someone else and that I under stand what they r going thru...nothing more than that

Gurus,
Here is my situation:
I-140 approved - PD: May '06
I-485 filed - July 30 '07 (India)
EAD cards - Received
APs - Received
Due to a slowdown in their business, my employer is laying me off in Dec '07. I'm still short of 1 month to complete my 180 days of I-485 filling. However, they said they will not withdraw my I-140 and, to help me, will in fact keep me on their payroll until Jan '08, with my Jan '08 salary as my severance and my official status as on "paid leave". So far, so good.
I also have a job offer, and my new employer wants me to join them in Dec '07, on EAD. My question is: Can I be on officially on the payroll of two companies simultaneously on H-1B and/or EAD? If yes, do I need to inform the USCIS of my status (new employer; AC21)? My other option is to say No to the new (attractive) job offer (or to try to convince them to wait until Feb '08, which they'll likely not agree to), and and take up another job in Feb '08, on EAD / H-1B transfer, using AC21. Please advise whether I'm fine with using the first option!!
you can be on the payroll of 2 companies on H1 if the H1 petition says that its for concurrent employment. On EAD no such issues, you simply sign new I-9 forms with both employers.
If you are moving to EAD, you can start with second employer right now. If you are going to stick to H1 for some reason, then delay joining the new one by just a few weeks. By the time they file the H1 transfer and the approval comes through, your 180 days will be done or nearly done and you are all set. Its nice that your current employer is helping you out through the 180 days.

What takes priority in life? Time with family or getting stuck in the GC mill.
I find it disheartening that a senior member like you would advice someone on foregoing their pleasure trip and donating to IV. Would you be willing to cancel all your pleasure trips/family outings to donate money to IV? If you do, i feel sorry for your family.
Please donate that extra money meant for leisure to IV instead going to Bahama this year.
