Wow, I've got three votes now... :)
Love the castle, and the background work for it.. Kinda looks like one of those Aztec Mayan thingers you see in the mountains or whatever Thank you very much... It's actually a castle from here in England, near Gloucester. Used to go up around there on holiday when I was a kid, and I had some old holiday snaps.
There's lots of ruined castles round here (there's one 15 minutes from where I live in fact, called Rochester Castle) so I wanted to draw one of those, do something a bit different.
But Soul and Eilsoe are in a whole new league with their pixel art. :)

you are right ron hira..this dude chickened out once we started to expose him.
Why should we worry about those who are silent? What do you mean?
Very True, we need to be worried about the silent ones............
members who are being silent because they received their EADs - therefore are ready to wait (long times if necessary.......)
members who are silent, because that is their nature or fear that active participation will somehow adversely affect them ............ this is bad, because they have nothing to fear and IV as an advocacy group will benefit tremendously for pushing for legislation/support of lawmakers - which will ultimately benefit us all.............
members who are anti immigrants, just reading all our posts, calculating our strengths and weaknesses and using it against us when the time comes.........
Wish I could convince every 45,000 or more members of this organization to be vocal and committed to participation.............

I think, there is no harm in calling the cops and let them know what has happened to be on safer side. Especially when you provide them your address, Did you by any chance?
Let them investigate it and find out what is going on. If you want, you can also file a complaint with FTC for phone fraud.
here's the link. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel19.shtm

Welcome. I urge you to browse this wonderful site and try to gather more information as to what IV has to offer and its history.
BTW: "sub prime" has nothing to do with the real estate market or the location of the house. It is a financial term to describe a "risk" category invented for the layman. People who got loans even though they do not have the 'prime' credit rating and paid zero down payment are the ones who are walking away from their houses. These foreclosed houses can be anywhere and probably in better locations than not, as their prices would not have precipitously climbed during 2003-2006 crazy years.
Yup, I know what sub prime is and more. What I meant to say was more that 60% of the foreclosure was due to the sub prime crisis. A lot of these come from the Low Income Group and were sucked into the ARM with 5 yr fixed and variable therafter. They usually don't buy homes in a $500,000 community. They bought houses in a 150K community. Most of the houses in those areas are not what a typical, highly skilled immigrant earning good money would be interested in buying. Atleast not in my area. But you are right. These houses could be in good areas too. With 12 million foreclosed homes, say 6 million are in good areas and with 500K immigrants in line, perhaps buying 250K houses, its about 4% of the foreclosure market. Now tell me, how can that help the economy?

I totally agree that non-white folks will be inspected by cops during the initial period of enactment of the law. What's the big deal about it. We will be stopped by cops. They will check our papers and will leave us, won't they? The same is true for Latinos (if they are here legally).
You think this is Ok. What's if you have forgotten to carry your papers?
BTW, Look if these folks were serious about illegal immigration, they would push E-Verify and would have massive fines and jail time for employers who employ illegal.
They would also clean up the legal immigration queues to ensure that there is no 10 to 20 year wait for someone who was born in Mexico or India or China.
And finally have a legal guest worker program for low skilled laborers.
These above three items would solve the immigration issue and were actually proposed by George Bush in 2006.

PD, looks like you are going from doing the work to supervising the work within the same job criteria. If the company you are transferring to uses a law firm for their immigration, ask if the attorney can review to verify that you are eligible on AC21 based on the criteria.

This is what I wrote. I just faxed last Tuesday and havent heard from either Congressman or Senator. To this letter I also attached a copy of my I 140 approval (shows PD), a copy of I 485 receipt notice and 2 service requests that were started for me.
Congressman XYZ,
Subject: Request for assistance with delayed Immigration Petition
Dear Sir,
I would like to request your assistance with a pending petition with USCIS that has seen an undue delay in processing. This I 485 petition (Application to Adjust to Permanent Resident Status) and has been pending at the Texas Service Center since it was received. The receipt date is June 15, 2007 which is prior to what is currently listed as the processing date on the USCIS website (current processing date listed as of September 30, 2008 is June 27, 2007. USCIS has not updated the processing dates after September 30, 2008 on their website).
My Priority date of August 9th, 2001 is current for my case category EB3 India. I have requested a status update from the USCIS service center and 2 service requests were started on my behalf but I have not heard anything or seen any progress on my case.
I would appreciate any assistance in speeding the processing of this petition. I am enclosing relevant receipts and letters. Please let me know if you need any further information.
Sincerely,
nozerd

Thank you prabasiodia.
So, the people who filed 485 let's say during July 2007, MAY change jobs when they start receiving GCs during 2010? Is this correct?
I think these memos might have been dissected a thousand times, but here they are:
Continuing validity of I-140: http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/I140_AC21_8403.pdf
AC21 guidelines: http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/AC21intrm051205.pdf
It's clear that the stress is on "intent". If at the filing of I-485, both the employer and the employee had the intent, it's fine. The only restriction is, one may not be looking for "same or similar" job at the time of I-485 adjudication. Why this restriction is even there is beyond me. It doesn't clearly state how much time after the adjudication, you should not be looking.
Of course, the lawyers seem to be on the cautious side. Read the last sentence under intent in the following site (AC21: Changing employer while waiting for pending adjustment of status (http://www..com/greencard/adjustmentofstatus/changing-employer.html) ). It says that ...theoretically, USCIS might be able to revisit the adjudication of I-485 and initiate revocation processing.
This inference is without any attribution.
Then again, I couldn't find a single case where the I-485 was revoked because of suspected fraud in "Intent". We do need clarification from USCIS on this.

NY consulate is not the greatest but compared to Houston, it is fantastic. Recently I sent my papers for PIO to NY and they took their time but i did get it in 4 weeks time (their website says 2 weeks). I had to make multiple phone calls and if i used the automated system, it would take me to a phone that no one ever answered. If i went through the operator I was invariably forwarded to a wrong department or was told there is no one in the PIO department on that day!! But eventually, I did manage to reach the right person, who told me when to expect the passport and it did arrive in due course. I did send them multiple emails as mentioned at their web page that promised faster responses but till now I have not received any reply till date!
My friend had to send her papers to the consulate in Houston and it is absolutely horrible. Firstly, no one ever answers the phone at any of the listed numbers. An automated response asks you to wait in line and then after an extended duration, you are bumped back to the start of the line. No one replies to emails. Then they send back your passport on flimsy grounds without giving proper reasons. When you send it back, they find a new reason to send it back as my friend had to endure. Eventually, she had to find an 'agent' who charged her $1100 to get her PIO card which he did within a day. When asked to give the breakup of the costs, he said he has to bribe people in the consulate to get the job done.
So this in essence is the real reason why no one answers the phone in Houston or people are given the run about ..corruption. They want you to use the services of these agents who in turn bribe them and get the work done.
NY consulate is slow and tardy but Houston is corrupt, probably all the way to the top. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any way to address these issues!! somewhere i saw a petition doing the rounds on the web complaining about the Houston consulate but I doubt if it will change anything.
