We all are working and in this economy everyone is worried about losing job if they don't go to work. I have two little kids and I work full time. I already used the vacation that I got for this year, it because of kids being sick one after the other and need to be off again next month for loss of pay for a kid's surgery. I know its just two more days and might result in something positive but I can't take a chance of losing my job and then don't have a job when it�s time for my 485 to be approved resulting in denial.
I will donate money but unfortunately, I can't come for the advocacy day. It is a sticky situation for many.

I am EB-3 India and I am just 16 years away from my Green Card. My daughter would turn 21 in 2025 and then she would be able to file for our GC under family category. Also, I would celebrate my 25 years on "temporary visa" status in 2025.
Sorry Sunnysurya, I won't be porting my PD from 2005 to 2025. So you do not have to worry about anything.

Recently I met one friend. He was visiting his friend for vacation in New Orelans. When he was washing his hands in the rest room (in a shopping complex or Mall), suddenly he saw 3 or 4 guys surrounding him, hit him and took away his vallet and cell phone. Within a short time his credit card was used for a huge money around $2000. He was hit so bad that his nose bones broke into pieces and he has metal installed now for him to breath properly. I am not sure if this is due to bad economy or enemity over immigrants.
New Orleans was already in a bad shape due to Hurricane Katrina. Crime there is very high after what it went through. Anyway all these attacks have more to do with robbery ( or altercations ) rather than legal immigration attacks. The attackers don't care while attacking you whether you are here legally or illegally.
Sanju said the exact right thing. No need to be paranoid.

Too bad u fell for Obama's political POS :)
After listening to his crystal cut views about fixing broken immigration system, my confidence level is boosted and felt like Dr.Obama has guts to deal this challenging CIR initiative for the better future of immigrants and for families of all of those hardworking smart legal immigrants who have been waiting for approvals from past 10 years. Hope it's not alluring speech for his upcoming elections. Problem clearly persists with politicians who don't like our EB VISA applicant community.
I think these following things should be the high priority items for IV core team and to all of us. People who have been patiently waiting to file for 485 since JULY 2007 are loosing hopes based on ongoing immigration trends. I think that it would take at least another 2 or 3 years to pass the CIR and to see it's law in action if GOP fellas have guts and to let this pass it successfully. I think that we should focus on two things to minimize the damage to our personal and professional lives.
I think one quick solution for fixing the issue of century old broken immigration system of USCIS is by allowing disciplined and long waited legal immigrant applicant to file for 485 application once his/her (I-140) application is approved. (Technically, I-140 is the real application for employment based green card. It makes sense for allowing applicant to file for AOS application (I-485 for personal information). this is justifiable with the current USCIS practice as USCIS doesn't approve his/her green card even if his/her PD ( Priority Date) is current unless they have visas to allocate for the case, so it should make prefect sense for 140 approved applicants to allow them to file for I-485)
Another thing is about huge EB backlogs for this broken system , that can be fixed temporarily by supporting and passing the recapture bill which allocates visas of those unused and wasted around 400K immigrant visas of last several years..

After receiving your I-485 USCIS conducts the following background Checks:
IBIS - Interagency Border Inspection System name check
FBI - FBI Fingerprint Check
FBI - FBI Name Check
IDENT - Automated Biometric Identification System
Other biometric checks - For some cases, USCIS itself conduct comparisons of photograph, finger prints and signatures stored in paper application with ISRS.
You have to clear all these checks (some of them has expiry as well) when your PD becomes current.
Till then keep renewing your EAD / AP. [I think this is the milking cow for USCIS :) ]
Thanks
PS: A detailed document in PDF form was made available by DHS detailing every one of them. I do have a copy at my end and unable to upload that due to the size of the document.

Can somebody clarify what it means that "salary is large enough" for EB2?
If a PWD was obtained from the state "workforce agency" and it has some number there, the job order has been placed with that number, can DOL and/or CIS later on (while processing PERM and/or I140) still say that the salary is "not good enough for EB2"? Based on which considerations and how are we and the employer supposed to know them beforehand then?

My spouse is in a situation where she has spent more than 6 years time on H4 furthering her education/skills and now she cannot apply for a H1. I had read sometime back on murthy.com that USCIS was considering decoupling of H1/H4 time. That should soften the blow of retrogression to some of us.
has anyone on this forum attempted to write to USCIS about it? I want to draft a letter - if anyone has done this before , please let me know.

I'd like to be able to say that those of us on H1B visas are doing the US a favor so we should get rewarded better for it, but I will be honest here and admit that I did not take up a job in US to be a good samaritan to Americans. I would be surprised if there were any H1B holders who moved to US just to do the states a favor.
No, in fact I like many others moved to USA because I got an opportunity to advance my career and at the same time I am young and open to experience life in America and other parts of the world. To top that I love my company.
Sure, I am helping my company and doing work that will touch the lives of millions of people. I pay my taxes. I pay my health insurance. I pay salaries to healthcare practitioners as I and my family needs their services. I pay rent. I shop. I keep money at my bank. You know, if you consider all that I must be a pretty good American resident. Smooth.
Sadly there are some things that are not so smooth. My wife, who is a graduate from a US college and a qualified teacher with over 5 years of teaching experience in her home country, has no right to work here. I hear you say, US needs teachers doesn't it? She could get her own H1B visa.
Life is not so black and white. It is difficult for her to find a compatible job in our area with an employer who could and would sponsor someone for H1B. She is chained by this. There are a myriad of teaching jobs in our area that she could fill right now if she had work authorisation.
That is the #1 reason why I am now seeking a GC. If my wife could work there would honestly be no reason for us to want a GC except maybe when we reach the end of H1B time limit if we decide to stay here longer or permanently.
We're legal, educated, and do things by the book. I'm from UK, my wife from Japan. That means just about every major country of this world is open to us (All EU, Japan and friendly countries like Canada and Astralia).
We'd like to make US our home if we are welcome. Lawmakers, hear our cries.
Could we have a poll for how many IV members are married and how many of those both got H1Bs? My feeling is that there is a very large number of H4 spouses suffering from not having work authorisation.

What the hell is wrong with you? Stop using Slurs. Eating Sambar Rice and curd rice does not make a life life with out pride.
Take your Slavery argument some where else. if you truely believe so, go to your masters on the hill and fight for abolishing slavery.
Not able to work does not directly cause loss of self esteem. Sorry to say this but this is the bitter truth. if you or your spouse's self esteem is so hurt because of the inability to work, fight for it and get H-4's the ability to work. Some thing like Lily ledbetter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilly_Ledbetter_Fair_Pay_Act) did. Just blaming that it hurts my self esteem does not win brownie points.
You and Zen dont deserve reds. You guys are beyond red reds. So I will not give you a red so that your self esteem does not go down further.
So here come the thing. Thats why i asked in my original post is IV just for people who have applied for Green card ? I wanted to know if they could address these issues as well . Regarding inability to work and self esteem , just stay in home for few days and then feel how much you loose. Man , its 21st century and ability to work is basic right.

AND PAY THE SAME TAXES AND SOCIAL SECURITY AS ANY AMERICAN
I agree, I was so upset when I read it... Thank you Logiclife for bringing that to our notice.
I just wrote an email to the editors with the email address provided by walking_dude. My email says this:
Dear Editor
You mention in an article dated today that "HIGH-TECH EMPLOYERS get lift from House Republican letter to Speaker Pelosi urging passage of immigration bill to help "attract and retain" high-skilled workers". And in the same breath you say that "In a poll 56% of Republicans earning more than $75,000 annually would "strongly" or "partially" agree with candidate who would bar illegal immigrants from path to citizenship." Do you know the difference between highly skilled legal immigrants and illegal immigrants?. Why do you have to imply that all highly skilled are illegal, infact 99.99% of highly skilled workers (Tech workers) came to the USA legally and continue to live legally. They are here at the behest of their employers.
So please correct your article to reflect that.

I agree, FP does not have anything to do with namecheck. I never received my FP for 15 months but inbetween when I took infopass - it was confirmed that my name check was done
I was under the same impression that it was FP that triggered the name check. But this is what the lawyer told them that their names were struck in NC and that is why they never got FP and now that NC is over they received FP notices. The interesting part is that within 3 weeks of FP one person got a notice that his application has been sent to USCISlocal office for further processing which I assume means interview notice in few days.

Just curious. what is your definition of "upper management"?
Please note , it is NOT a sarcasm
Buddy, your tone sounds hostile and as I said we're staying here by choice - but let me tell you this, after getting an MBA (with financial aid) from a decent school here, staying here for a decade, getting into upper management of a large company and having US born kids, I'm relocating to India after the summer. I've just secured admission for my first born from here and it went without a single glitch.
So, YES, I've tried it, I'm pretty darn willing to and I got a strong pair of balls!

btw, how this is relevant on this forum..... becoz this is not a news forum..... here is the answer......
6 out of 13 finalist on this prestigious competition are all kids of (high skilled) immigrants from india, who came here on h1 or similar visas and are now on gc or their parents are still waiting for gc......
this is very important to show the value and positive influence high skilled immigrants bring in to the society they live in..... this is a positive externality of high skilled immigrants like us..... & adds one point in our camp...... simple eb3/eb2 tracking won't cut it if that is all u understand from immigration forum....
