Just Wallpaper Inside

Thanks for your list. So it seems we can do it without attorney help. I am not sure what my attorney is doing its been a month since he had all the papers and fee. I am going to try filing myself:mad:

I called them this morning and IO told me that my file has been assigned to an officer. What does this mean? Can anyone tell me?

Thanks


Why yes! Didn't you get the memo?
What this means is that somebody at USCIS probably ran out of TP at home.

Thanks for the update paskal.

It was just what i needed to make my mind...i am bored to death in this small town finishing my waiver hoping for this piece of legislation.( no hopes of my EB2 anyway:rolleyes:).

Thanks Paskal for letting everyone know the update. IV was a co-signatory with other medical advocacy groups to the letter for pushing Physician's provisions. Please contact Paskal if you wish to join the effort.

There are lot of doctors who are unaware about this and what they can do together to end their long wait. I have met some of them myself and talked about IV and its efforts for doctors. They joined IV effort but the doctor community by and large is still unaware of this effort and scattered.

In September 2001, I came here on visitor visa with my mother and resided here till today (I was 15). I went through 4 yrs of high school, got my GED followed by an associate degree from community college and now I'm an undergrad student pursuing my bachelor degree; will graduate in a year. Meanwhile, my mother became a U.S. citizen through marriage when I was a sophomore in college, simultaneously my I-130 was approved and now waiting for the visa availability; the priority date: Dec 08, 2006, F1.
Problem is that I turned 21 on October 13, 2006 right passed the time criterion for the Child Status Protection Act which technically makes me "aged-out" by about 2 months (filing date being DEC06), so I think that I am not be qualified as an immediate relative.
Currently, the visa availability date is at 15FEB06 which is getting close to DEC06.

Few months ago, I received a letter from NVC requesting DS-3032 and I-864 forms which I've filled out and sent to them but I regarded the fact that I live in the United States on an overstayed visa!!! I should have sent them a notice to adjust my status instead of paying the $70 and $400 fees that I already paid, apparently. I am not leaving the country to interview overseas with the NVC because that would put me in a 10 year ban obviously, I also do not understand how I can adjust my status with the USCIS once the priority date becomes current when I do not have a status as of now! So, I might've done all these for nothing. I've talked to some lawyers on the phone but they have completely shut my hopes down (maybe because I haven't paid them?). I do not have the money to pay for an expensive lawyer because all my funds can barely afford my college.

On top of everything, DREAM act just got rejected from the congress as I'm getting ready to graduate from college. I have no idea what to do.

With my college degree and knowledge that I have acquired over the years, I believe that I am an inevitable asset to this country but I am deeply saddened by the fact that American Dream is not becoming a reality for me. I know I can do more for the world but I'm immobilized by the system which I don't see any loopholes to at this point. I understand the views of the Republicans but I really wish that they can give one more look at the DREAM act. We do not intentionally break the law. I would actually be a law-abiding and a model citizen if I ever become one.

Anyhow, I lost all my hopes and dream in this country at this point in time, that I think the only/best way is to move back to where I am from immediately upon graduation.

If there is any hope, your help/advice/inputs will be greatly appreciated!

Hope is only with "Audacity of HOPE". We are all with you in this journey towards GC. Good luck to all.

I am from Oregon, glad to be of help. Sent an email.

You cannot be a partner in LLC and work for the same company on H1B.
But my guess is nothing stops you from not be a founding member and work for the same company. Your other two partners can be owners and they will have the right to give you as many shares as they want. This is a guess, so please confirm with a Lawyer. Explore the same option with C Corp/S Corp as well.
Do share with us what you find out. :)
And BTW if you are just three people and making a million you guys are making a killing. What business you guys in?

How and when are we supposed to contact Ombudsman for help?

Are we supposed to wait first for some stipulated time or we can contact when our PD is current?

Thanks

Kudos and Hats off to the originators of this idea and hundreds of members that sent flowers.

Check the statement from USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez..

Message from USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez

I understand that individuals are planning to send flowers to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) beginning on Tuesday, July 10. USCIS has made arrangements to forward those flowers to our injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and at Bethesda Naval Hospital.

Thank you guys for the creativity shown here!

Filed in Nebraska...Went to CSC... Got my Receipt Number Sept last week...

Should I send my orginal I-797 with her or just the copy?

PD: Oct 2003
Cat : EB3
140 : Approved June 2005
485 : Applied April 2004 : Pending
EAD : Approved June 2004
AP : Approved June 2004
FP 1 : June 2004
FP 2 : March 2007

How is it possible to file for 485 before you 140 was aproved? Are those dates in order?
You don't need I140 approved to file I-485. My I-140 is still pending(filed in Apr 07) and i applied for I-485 on July 2nd.

can she accept fellowship on H4?

I doubt it...Ask the school the question...Schools nowadays have dedicated international students services....
Any type of work is not acceptable on H4...Fellowship would constitute work..Wouldn't it ???....

My question was VERY specific. And I am not in a mood to discuss the trivial information that the responder threw up. It irks me when someone starts giving unsolicited advices instead of answering the question that I had asked.

I am sorry, didn't mean to derail the topic, but my stand was clear.

All we can do id hope...

I changed address twice since filing my I 485. Both times I e-filed the AR 11 form for myself and my spouse. Also added the I 485 case numbers to it. Both times I received a receipt from USCIS. Also I saw a soft LUD on my application. I did not call any one in USCIS to verify but I have sent copies of the receipt to my lawyer for his records.

It is not easy to ask anything we like. Recapturing visa need bill in both house and senate. IV is working hard on many action items. Please start taking part in all action items asap.

Thanks for your support.


As part of Class action lawsuit can we ask for recapturing of all unused visa numbers? I believe the number is at least 300K, it covers the green cards for 2003, 2004 and 2005. 2006 can go with 2008 quota. So everyone will be happy.

I believe this is the provision we should fight for instead of CIRcus.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

Well we are still waiting for people from 2001 to get their green cards. I don't know how huge an impact recession is going to have.

I dont understand.
Why is it limited to 5%?

If you have more then 5% equity in the business you will go the inverstor category EB5. So green card is not approvable in EB1, EB2 or EB3

Hi PCS,
I would appreciate if you confirm if the notarized experience letter is accepted as substitute for the original experience letter. I am planning use a preapproved labor but the job requirement for that labor requires some specific skills. My old employer would not give me the letter. So can I ask my colleague to send me a notarized experience letter ?

Thanks,
pcbadgujar

nlssubbu, its amazing that you still check IV and answer other's questions. I got my first AP and i travelled once and after coming back renewned my H1B and now i am thinking of applying for AP renewal. Can you please tell me if I can travel while the AP renewal application pending? The instructions in I-131 form says, the application will be abondoned if the person leaves the country after filing I-131.
