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.
Thanks for the encouraging words :) I promise, not more than 5 threads :) Come on folks lets have atleast 5 threads.
I have not been very active on this campaign because of a personal situation but want to do what I can.
At times, people just need a push. When they see 5 therads with bold topics, they do feel the push otherwise - people just carry on with hectic schedules and forget to do it even though they intended to do it.
Like a member "crystal" said sometime back "even eagles need a push to let them know that they can fly" .
I am stopping with these, but it would be great if members take it up from here.
IV is for everyone and we want everyone to participate.

So, is that a yes on getting USCIS to follow the law? As I said, it is about getting USCIS to follow the law, it is not EB2/EB3 centric. Given that the demand for Eb3/EB2 that is going to see-saw, this should be an action item that will benefit EB on a whole, not a particular sub category.
It is not only about USCIS to follow law my friend, it is about bringing about a new law to relieve us from huge backlog.
That I believe can be only possible with the recapture visa bill. And we all need to shoulder each other through this.
Good luck to all of us

2011 Did Zac Efron get a nose job?
Applications were sent to NSC on July 19th' 2007. I got my receipt numbers today and all three numbers (I485, EAD & AP) start with WAC ### ### ####. The online status for the applications say that the 485 application was transfered to Texas Service Center and the EAD & AP applications were sent to Califorina Service Center.
Also just fyi, my I-140 app. is pending at NSC since Dec' 2006. So now I am all over the country :-) Don't know its good or bad. Any idea anyone?
Best of luck to all....

Murthy's lawyer suggested Consular processing as an option.
She explained that in Consular processing I still need continued Sponsorship from my firm, but it will revoke my 485 application. I will end up filling bunch of forms with USCI, including 824.
This was my PD will remain intact and when it becomes current, I will have to go to Indian Consulate and get Immigrant Visa from there.
IN this whole process My firm needs to continue sponsor my GC processing. Advantage is : I don't have to come and renew my EAD and AP every year.

What if Employer & Lawyer are NOT willing to share a copy of Labor and no proof of Labor clearance has come from USCIS? Lawyer only says labor has been clear. What are the options?
This is so surprise, unlike NSC, TSC is not only pre-adjudiciating, directly an approval ?
Anyways congrats and all the best.

mera bas chale to procesing date ko rajdhani me bitha ke double engine laga du...
jokes apart - seriously this is a very exciting time, no one knows what will happen - yet everyone optimistic... which is a good sign.
I just talked to our company lawyer and she said that they are seeing a lot of 485 approvals from the receipt dates from last week of july and a little before that ...
good luck to all!
When you said 'receipt-dates', were those the actual receipt dates or the erroneous notice dates that would appear in the online status page?

tattoo after her nose job? paris
Hi Mike. Please don't mistake the spirit of this post. By no means is it a "wish" for Nikon or Canon, or any manufacturer to be "on the ropes". The very simple fact is the D2h does not compare to the Mark II. That is from a shooters perspective. Not only my personal experience, but of other long time Nikon shooters I know who are switching. I also know from personal experience of a major wire service bureau who is not happy with the D2h quality as is switching to Canon. My observations are based on my working experience, and that of other working PJ's that I interact with on a regular basis. I truly hope Nikon's next camera and their cameras after that are killer. That would be best for all.
With 80% of the total professional market I guess not too badly. I believe the D2H is a much newer system than the 1d mk2 and of course it will be almost half the price streetwise, so a lot of part time pros will want to consider this body seriously. I seem to rember the 1D did not do well against the D1H, also with half the res, until the 1d started to match the Nikon price. I guess the same thing will happen, only the D2H does have a killer system this time round. Someone mentioned file tranfers to editors and publishing house and mobile connectivity,I think that's where something like the D2H will probably score. Canon are big timers, they will stay the course, at least for now. I don't think hoping for Nikon to be on the ropes will be particularly useful though.
regards
Mike

My employer applied in PP and it was approved. details are give below.
Date of mailing -1/23( i presume must have used Fedex overnight)
Date of recipt/acknowledgement- 1/24
Date of approval- 2/4( online)
Date of approval email sent - 2/4
The only hitch was that they applied for 3 years extension based on 140 approval and even thougt 485 is filed the PD is not current,but got approval for 1 year only . The problem here i think is that i am completing 5 years oh H1B in feb 2008 so they extended only for 1 year till feb 2009 . Anyway that what you get when u ask your HR to file rather than have an attorney file ot handle the case. I had requested them to have an attorney handle the case but they gave me assurances that they will handle it and will do it in PP. Now i am sure they are repenting as i dont expect my GC approval for next 2 ot 3 years and now they got to shell out 1500 buck for extension every year or atleast for the next year when they retry for a 3 year extension in feb 2009.i had a word with my HR she said she is going to inquire with USCIS and discuss the case with attorney on what ground they offered one year extension and not 3 year

If you want to elicit a response on retrogression, then you have to call their office and ask to speak with the person that deals with immigration issues and policy.
Or you can seek an appointment with that person and see what they have to say about this. Writing a letter will get you a generic form-letter response from a junior staffer whose job is to pick one of the 25 form-letter responses based on issue (Iraq, healthcare, immigration, veteran's affairs, crime, gun-control, abortion, judicial appointments, taxes, etc. etc. etc.) and slap your name/address and stick a postage stamp and mail it.
So, if you want to talk about immigration with them, call their office. Talk on phone or seek and appointment and meet them to elicit their position and educate them on retrogression.

Say a person has finished his 6 years and got a 3-year extension based on an approved I140. Now, he is working in his 7th year and his 485 gets rejected. Would that mean he still has 2 more years of H-1B or does that mean he loses the remaining 2 years of H-1B time immediately since 485 got rejected?

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. I believe that my employer has no problem to write me a recommendation letter or sign support letter.
Do you believe I have a chance or not ? which one?
Thanks,
John
Well, your ideal bet is the standard EB2. It will require a labor certificate. The issue is that the cost of obtaining the labor certificate (including lawyer's fee and job advertisement costs; usually total around $5k-$6k) must be borne by the employer; it is the law. You can bear the rest of the cost (I-140+I-485+lawyer's fee for those two stages). If your employer is willing to at least pay for that, then go for it; you will get your GC within a year or two (assuming no major changes in the rules, situations, etc.).
If your employer is not willing to spend any money, then you have two options: EB1 or EB2-NIW; they do not need labor certificate.
The EB2-NIW category does not need employer's sponsorship. However, a support letter from the employer strengthens the case quite a lot. To prove yourself eligible for EB2-NIW, you need to argue that if a labor test is done and an eligible citizen or permanent resident shows up (and hence you cannot be hired), then it will be a *national* loss to the US. Basically this means you have to prove that your field *and* your individual work in the field are very important to the US nationally (i.e., not just to the particular part of the US where you live/work). Other than publications (number as well as quality), citations, and perhaps most importantly, a set of (10-15) recommendation letters from the well known leaders of your field are usually used to establish this.
The EB1-OR (outstanding researcher) category requires that you be in a "researcher" position and your company employs at least 5 other researchers (I am assuming that you are not a tenure-track faculty member in a US institute of higher education). If this is true, then your employer simply needs to "sponsor" you by providing a support letter. No labor certification is needed; so employer need not bear any cost; you are allowed to pay for the whole process. You need to establish that you are an "outstanding researcher" with international reputation.
From what you have told us, it seems that EB2-NIW might be possible for you, but you very likely do not satisfy EB1-OR's requirements. In any case, there is a good amount of randomness in the process and hence there is always a possibility of getting approved. So if your employer does not want to spend any money and you can spare the money, then it may be worth a shot applying for an EB2-NIW. If you decide to do so, get a good lawyer, though.
