What if your state does not have a state chapter?
If you wish the entire immigrationvoice community to assist then some sharing of updates will be necessary outside of these.
What he said!
it is ok to contact any of the leaders for the update
you can link with a neighboring chapter, right now this is an action item being coordinated by the chapters so they have the info.

My LC and I140 approved (PD: may 2004). Applied 485 on Aug 8.
I became father last month.
My new born son is sick and he needs total attention for next 4 months. I have used up all my vacation and planning to apply for medical leave. Pediatrician recommends me getting medical leave and support my wife.
I work in a very big hardware company. I have completed 3.5yrs in H1B so far.f I apply for medical leave, I may get a pay cut (like 20 to 30%). Will I be affected because of this medical leave? Are H1B's allowed to take medical leave (upto 4 months)..
Your comments are very much appreciated.
thanks
This should be non-issue as far as GC is concerned. This is a very genuine reason to take a medical leave.
Also consider other options such as getting your mother or mother-in-law come to US to provide care, hiring nurse or live-in-nanny.

Did you mean for EB3 ROW? One year? I am not so sure. Couple of months maybe... Oh i wasn't being specific if ROW or India or china... just threw a year in there, since 47K seems like a lot of approvals at one go.
Some one pointed out in another thread, that the USCIS FAQ mentioned that only a 'subset' of the potential 47k cases have namecheck pending for more than 180 days. So may be not all of the 47k cases (even those with current PDs) may be eligible to qualify under 180 day FBI namecheck auto approval rule. Thus not all 47k cases will be approved by the mid March deadline that USCIS mentioned.
yeah i read that aswell... as usual even that little light that sometimes seems to shine... all of a sudden seems quite dim.
FYI USCIS retracted the FAQ posted on the 19th, so we will have to wait and see if it's gonna be any good news on this subject.

I would like the STEM related BILL to pass............ Many coun tries like AUSTRALIA, CANADA gives more preferrance to graduates from their Universities.
Catch22 - Seems like u hv touched the surface now.
It's more deep-rooted, even to an extent that the two Countries are sharing the "acquired" Citizens (thanks to the dual Citizenship format). It didn't amount to the Indian Govt saying " Give me back my elite. I just lost it" and the US Govt saying "Sorry, it's our gain and for keeps". It's all part of an elaborate and acknowledged process (creamy situation for the individual) .
US needs the Skilled force and matches them up with opportunities (some other countries have the force in abundance and are overwhelmed). At no point in time should the force be subjected to undue hardship, especially if a process can be remedied. Immigrating is tough. Alongside, a host of collaterals get pledged by - families, roots, skills, labor, career, merit, all towards one goal. It's a conscious decision that an individual involved makes and backs it up with his credentials. If these credentials are deemed meritorious, the process starts (in a mutually acceptable manner, if there exists a provision). If rules get changed midway affecting those collaterals, you raise it with the concerned. In this situation, I give this much to the Indian Government - it's for its people (doesn't mean to say that it lies in wait to net a wings-clipped bird). It would honour your decision and look into your cause, if justifiable. In the same vein, the US Government acknowledges merit and talent and has laid out provisions by which it welcomes the same. Hence, the process.
Word of caution: It's also in the way that you put across your viewpoint
I am not sure what makes you feel that India is overwhelmed with talent that they have to request America to take in some of these folks. India is not a war-torn country that America has to take in Indian refugees.
BTW, America does not recognise "Dual citizenship" or acquired citizenship or whatever. To your point, even if India and America were moving towards closer co-operation, the Indian Government can only ask America for increased "temporary" visas (H1B) for free movement of 'Services', per WTO. Certainly NOT lobby for Permanent Resident Status for its citizens in a foreign country. Sorry, my friend, your rationale is too utopian for me. I, unfortunately, live in the real world.
P.S: My previous post was more rhetorical. I did not mean to hurt or harm anyone.

are sure it is 7 years? i thought .. it is 3 years.
You can expect it anytime. The retention period is 7 years, so keep all your tax filing papers and all related docs for at least 7 years.

Having a special quota for masters or any other criteria would be absolutely beneficial as long as it does not come from the existing quote (like adding 20000 for Masters on top of 65000). Having any additional numbers would significantly reduce the stress on the exciting queue. I do not think there should be any reason why anyone would object. If we can get any reason to add additional numbers, that should be welcome. Several other reasons can be there including the founders visa which was talked recently as long as they are additional numbers.
2010 love you forever emo. i love
Cool thx buddeh.
Applied on August 23rd, Still pending, 7 months over for H-1 extension, still not approved and no RFE. This was for a 3 year extension after I-140 approval, I ve finished 7 years on H-1B. Anyone on the same boat? It's really frustrating.....

Regardless of what your employer is doing on your behalf, you should be proactive and take appointments with law makers. You should be prepared to show that you didn't do anything wrong and now you are going through personal hardships because of this delay. Since you are willing to provide all the paper works to USCIS they should have no reason to delay adjudication. You should emphasize the fact the your application is subjected to undue delay for no fault of yours.
According to my employer, he is going to the Senators office tomorrow to talk to them regarding my case. Got an appointment some time this week to see them on Friday. I dont know how far this is true. They already wrote a letter to them 2 weeks back. This is what my employer says. But I dont know whether he actually contacted them or not. He said he will give me further info on monday. I have to wait and see what he comes up with ( truth or some other new story) on Monday. Then I might decide to move on to a diff employer if nothing works out.

Should I send photos now for my EAD app?
I e-filed on 05/14 at NSC.. and have been waiting ever since.. the status still shows Initial Review.
I had sent the supporting docs but NO photos and it reached them on 05/21.
Now I am reading abt people getting RFEs on 87th day... is it advisable to just send the photos now.. as an add-on supporting doc?
Has anyone done that... or wait for action on the EAD from USCIS..?

Perfect....
Yes I called the original civil surgeon and the TB test is going to cost $15 only and Xray $40.
I found the reason I got the RFE.
I had a copy of the last TB test report.
That civil surgeon FORGOT TO CHECK MARK the TB test !!!!
He checked a different section !!!
I feel bad that I missed to read it!
I could have rectified the DARN doctor then and there.
It was during the July fiasco. We were all in a hurry and tensed up.
Thanks for your update.
Once this RFE is cleared, I am going to Sue that doctor for expenses!
I feel sad that people dont do their jobs properly in this ADVANCED country.

Is there a relation between immigration process (485) and IRS?
If a person owe money to IRS , does he/she have a problem with his/her immigration process? I'm not talking fraud ....! I'm talking owing taxes to IRS
The reason i'm asking is because some lawyer do ask for W2 forms, some do not. That means there is a relationship between immigration and IRS.I just have no idea how it works.
Thanks

This reminds me of frog mentality to pull someone else down on some pretext or the other.
What is the definition of "fairness"? Just because my application is waiting to be attended by an adjudicator and others are getting approved doesn't mean that I need to cry out foul. And if we do care for "fairness", whatever "fairness" means to us, then what are we doing, as a group, to seek fairness. I hope you agree that just by posting 3 messages per day on this forum and labeling system "unfair" "broken" etc, system is not expected to start working in a fair way. If you look at the thread to call lawmakers, there are hardly 30-35 people who actually called the lawmakers office. I am not telling you to call or do anything other than helping to make the system "fair".

every drops count!! there is no single solution that would buyout all the foreclosures. Immigration is one of the major factors in fueling the economy.. folks, dont tell me that the legal immigration took away the jobs of an american.. may be one or two cases, most of the cases employers could not find any US people to fill ( high tech jobs). Letting the current non-immigrants to have GC, is not going to take away the new jobs.. all these non-immigrants are already in good paying Jobs.

Situation:
H1b valid until 2010, visa stamp expired.
AP available
Not recieved EAD yet
Can you we go on a cruise to Bahamas?
Also do Indian citizens need visa to Bahamas cruise?
Thanks in advance
I went through this process couple of years back,,,,(not sure if the laws are still the same)
Yes. Indian Citizens need a Bahamas visa to travel (Cruise) to Bahamas.
A Person needs a Valid US Visa or AP to enter back into US.
I went with a valid US Visa. I dropped my old I-94 while leaving US and received a new I-94 while entering US port (in Cruise).
Enjoy your trip to Bahamas!
I hope you will also contribute to IV efforts.

Dhirajs98- I am sorry I dont know about checks cashing because we are doing through a company attorney - company pays for our GC expenses..But we filed for I-485, EAD & AP on June 29th, We got our receipt numbers last week. From the time we got receipt no's we got EAD & FP both within a week..

Unfortunately, Canadian authorities don't take I-94 as it is nothing to do with them and don't pass it to US CBP.
Even if I come back - may walk to US border point to return I-94, the issue is not returning I-94 alone it is the date of leaving as there won't be any stamping or any record of leaving.

by the way, can somebody answer these questions: If you got your EAD before the Receipts, does it mean your I-485 was touched and accepted? Is there any possibility that you got your EAD but your I-485 was not yet touched and accepted?
Is there anybody here who got EAD but for more than a month after that still got no Receipts?
