Thanks Ivar for your reply.
Ivar, thanks for the info. I am thinking of applying for porting now.How long does it typically take to process. Also was there any audit you are aware of that came for your case?
I do not have master's degree but I have 10+ years of experience and my job requirements are also for managing a team etc.

I was just thinking, the wastage of visa numbers we see, is that basically due to the per country quota. The rule that no country can have more than X% of GC's in a year, would mean that even though there are visa's available, they cannot be alloted due to that per country limit.
Anyway the smaller number of application is good news.
-AD
The wastage is due to handicap USCIS, they dont make basic calculations for the visa numbers used per year.
To give u an example, lets say they have to give x amount of visa, they just process x number of apps and at the end of the FY some people are still struck up in other processes like Name check etc. So those numbers who are struck up, get wasted.

Thanks everyone for all the information you guys provided. I successfully ported my Priority date.
In the interest of others in a similar situation can you post the exact process that you or your lawyer finally followed to get a successful porting of PD?

I've just gotta know...
How long did it take you to make that Soul?!
Being pixel art.. I'm guessing 6-8 hours... Wow.. It's impressive..
As for beta.. Yours is also great.. I chose Soul's for the idea.. More depth..
Still better than I can do with pixels.. I don't have the time to dela with em.. And I would just get frustrated..
You should submit a cool park entry for KirupaVille on the main "random" section of the site Soul..
Peace Guys and Good Jobs

Dollar500,
First, Congratulations on your trip and hope you have a nice and worry free holidays.
I can understand that there are couple of posts that went quite far than you'd normally expect from this forum. It's just that people here are really worried bout raising the funds...and trying to grab every single dollar out there...and you had 'dollar500' on your name:) asking for a cruise question.
It's nobody's business to question you about your cruise and I'm sure those folks did not mean to interfere in your business. They are just trying their best to ask you in a poilte way, if you would be willing to donate some money this holiday season to IV.
These folks who have offered you suggestions or who asked you to leave or the folks like me who are requesting you to stay are NO closer/strangers to IV than YOU are. IV is as much as yours as anybody else's. You are really welcome here and people love your posts(this one is exceptional timing:))
So, Please make up your mind and donate this holiday season.
How about this, let me take the ownership of this question...I'll get this one answered with 99.9% accurate information. How much are you willing to donate IV?( I don't have the answer yet.) You can donate after you comeback from cruise. Just a pledge would suffice now.

Greencard and H-1B expenses should be paid by the employer. Anything else is illegal.
I have heard the above from a lawyer. I think there is lot truth in the above statement.
However, in teaching the Univ processes H1B and most faculty pay the USCIS fees. I have written a check to USCIS for my H1B fees. Most faculty also pay their GC dues including lawyer + USCIS fees.
I have also heard that faculty can negotiate for the Deptt to pay the H1B + GC fees.

I think USCIS is working towards reducing the backlogs. It could be starting point for all EB community to feel better
With IV success, I foresee the EB categories as current at any point of time. And GC process is less than 3 years for any EB category
WAKE UP BUDDY!!!

Medical Examination is going to be really bad once more. It is going to be a long queue. Keep on trying by calling the doctors and do not rely near by doctors. If you are in near by MA I suggest you Dr. Sanjeev Sharma really a great and reliable doctor we can trust. Where are you by the way????

Can we do something about this.
Maybe we can go to a federal court saying it is discriminatory and get a ruling to that effect. This would stop "any" state from coming up with such legislation.
Has anyone contacted the ACLU of Texas on this? This is unrelated but they have been active on such fronts:

First of all articulate your questions and concerns. That gives any one with an insight to try to help you. Not using the SMS language should help too :) because you may not be conveying clearly what you intended to.
Where are you located now ? Your home country or USA ?
Did you see your Visa papers at all ? What visa do you have ?
Did you go to school in USA ?
Did you get ANY visa stamping on your passport ?

From what i know, if you have an Indian Passport and a US Green card, the only countries you can travel to without any visitor/tourist visa requirements are India, USA, Canada, Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Mexico (Thanks to Sunny1000 for confirmation of Mexico and Dominican Republic)
Are there any other countries I can go to which don't require a Visa or will grant a visa on arrival?
Thanks.
Thanks for this useful information. But does visa non requirement is valid only when departing country is USA or this would remain correct for traveling from any international destination to above countries.
Thanks again..

Your employer cannot revoke approved I-140 after 180 days of filing of I-485. AC21 portability law clearly says that. Your employer is playing with the lifes of employees. He cannot win any case in this situation. You better look for another employer and move ASAP. Also, you cannot keep PD as it is somebody else's PD. Eventhough you/your can try appealing with no chances of winning, but you/your employer is trying to spoil the life another person who got GC.
employer can withdraw I-140 any time. A withdrawl after 180 days of 485 filing should not impact the original beneficiary.
However these cases of substituted beneficiary using an I-140 when the underlying labor has been already been used by someone else for an approval, is a very gray area. USCIS has denied such cases in the past. search for "AC-21" + "mitosis" on Google to see various theories and threads about this...
I would second the suggestion to let this go, but talk to a very good immigration attorney like Murthy/Rajiv Khanna. A 30 minute consultation might be a worthwhile investment.

No one is 100% perfeect, it does not mean we should not work, If anyone feels we can do better than why you are talking rather than working what you believe is.
At least some one is trying to voice issue at some level at their best knowledge and efforts, so we have to encourage people to do better by providing means of moral support.

July 23rd filer. NSC>CSC>NSC. Did not get FP notice and will be travelling to India this friday for 2 months. So called up Customer service and opened SR for both me and wife on December 20. Got appointment for me for Jan. 16th but nothing for my wife in the first week of Jan. Then a week ago got a second set of appointments both for me and wife but now on Jan. 18th.
Anyways, reported to USCIS office in Des Moines today (Jan. 16th) per original letter. Wife accompanied me and I had all the appointment letters with me. Explained to the security guy (a very nice old gentleman) about the situation with upcoming travel, etc. He went and soke with the USCIS manager and she was gracious enough to allow my wife to get her fps done with me. Was out of the place in about an hour. They had a new machine installed and the person from the machine manufacturer was demonstrating how to use to the local staff, so we were all guinea pigs. Scanned four fingers from left hand followed by thumb, then four fingers from right hand followed by thumb, this was followed by each finger individually rolled across the scanner, then took FP of right index finger and asked me to sign (similar to a credit card digital sign box). Took a photo and that was it.
One piece of interest to people who for some reason missed theit appointments and forgot to reschedule. I was informed by the security guy that there is a grace period of 87 business days after your initial appointment date for you to walk-in and get your fps done. However, you need to call the center to find out what day of the week is alloted for walk-ins. (It is Wednesday for Des Moines office).
If you have multiple appointments for different days (like I had), go to the earliest one if possible and get both the notices stamped with the stamp indicating that biometrics were taken on that date.
Cheers!

Ok I think we are reaching new heights of RIDICULOUS here. An IV member has asked a SIMPLE question about whether or not an Indian citizen needs a visa for the Bahamas.
Who the heck do we think we are to ask him/her to NOT go on that cruise and instead donate to IV?? People i know that we need to raise money and quickly, but this is really not the way to go about it. Everyone needs a vacation to recharge their batteries and spend quality time with their families. The GC is a "MEANS to the END", NOT "The END". Going by this logic, lets not do anything for the next 2-3 years. Lets not buy houses, cars, furniture etc. Lets instead contribute to IV. Besides what is to say that this person has not contributed to IV already?
Agree with eb3_nepa. Couldn't have said it better. Bullying people is usually not a very effective tool for recruitment.
