Went there personally and reached the consulate at around 9:00 AM... they had the waiting area open and gave me a number... approx 40 people were ahead of mine ... I had to do two work and seems one number was good enough for that ... by 10:45 I got my turn and the lady at the counter took my papers and papers for my little one's PIO card ... I paid 20+20 = $40 extra so that they can USPS me the PP ... received it within one week and the PIO card within 10 days ... I was out by 11:00 AM from the consulate ... a personal advice, if you go personally avoid Monday or Friday .. go in a weekday and you will have better luck with the crowd...
Good thing about going personally is that you do not have to send any original doc (for PIO card case) ... they only kept my old PP and returned both the books via mail...
only advice do not except a good service at the CGINY ... the lady at the counter was nice but over all service was poor ... you can see people were enjoying morning news paper even if it was well past 9:15/9:30 ... and if you call the number no one will pick the phone ... that�s terrible ...
I took the pain of driving to NY all the way from Boston to get my passport renewed. I woke up at 3:00AM and stated off at 4:00AM so that I could reach the consulate by 8:00AM. I was told by my friends that I would get it in the evening itself. Unfortunately, I was faced with severe disappointment that they are no longer returning the passports on the same day. The worst part about the Indian consulate in NY is that they didn't update their Website. When I called them several times, non one answers the phone and speaks with courtesy.
After arriving at the consulate, we were made to wait in the cold for atleast an hour until 9:15AM (They open the doors at 9:30AM). They have no mercy for people. Also, the approach they took to call out people was terrible. It was like a fish market. I asked them if would get my passport back on the same day. I didn't get a straight answer until my number was called. I went there and atleast that lady talked to me with respect with a smiling on her face. Atlast I was told that they are not returning the passport on the same day. They asked me to pay 20 extra dollars so that they'd send the passport by Express mail (USPS). She also told me that I can track the passport.
I then drove back to Boston, the same afternoon. After exactly a week, I got the new passport booklet along with my old passport. I am fortunate enough to have all of the details printed accurately.
My strong advise to everyone is to send their passports by mail.

This should not impact legal immigrants. Legal immigrants always will have some valid documents like Visa or I94 or EAD. So what is the problem in this? The point number 2 may create some issues but generally none of H1b people will be impacted.
I knew that slowly the antis are gaining more and more strength as a result the noose is getting tighter and tighter around us (and will eventually reach our neck). I didn�t expect this fast:
Texas change in driver�s license laws in last 6 months:
1) We knew that instead of the usual 6 years expiry date, they now want to see proof of visa documents and the expiry date is set to the expiry of the visa document.
2) If visa document is expiring less than 6 months, then we CANNOT get a drivers license.
Driver�s license laws - Latest Changes:
1) The driver�s license that all non-citizens will get will be Vertical and NOT the usual horizontal. This license looks very different than the conventional Texas DL and it also has to ominous word �temporary visitor�. I was okay with word being mentioned, but making the drivers license look so different from normal (vertical and not horizontal is taking it too far). I am worried about possible discrimination everywhere wherein we show our IDs.
2) Chance of Address not possible online: Previously, its only during license renewal, you had to get that new unique non-citizen card. Now, they are not allowing even change of address online! The website says, we don�t qualify for change of address online as well. This means that even for change of address, we have to go to the DL office and surrender of our old good unexpired DLs.
Any inputs? Texans? Others? What have been your experiences? In other states, can you change your address online without any hassle?

Hi,
Some online tax return websites have capabilities of pulling your W2 information from IRS site. I know turbotax does. Print out all those copies and your pay stubs. Send it to IRS with letter stating your problem. Before you do please apply for extension as april 15th is last date for tax return filing.
My wife worked as a consultant for first half of 2008 with a desi employer as an employee (on W-2). After many calls and emails we received W-2 Thursday that has income and taxes of only first two months. Now he says that he showed remaining 4 months as his profit so he can only send 1099. Please advise if I can take any legal action against this employer.
Thank you

Hi friends,
Can we start working for the new company immediately once the transfer petition is mailed i.e. without waiting for the EAC number ?
NO.
Mailed is not equal to received or applied for transfer. Until you have proof that USCIS has received your application, dont start at the new employer. Waiting for the receipt # is the safe route down the road even though you have to delay by a week or so.

Read this!!!!! they did not use all the recaptured visas from last time
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/statistics/publications/LPR_FR_2007.pdf
The large num-ber of LPRs in the employment preferences in 2005 was primarily due to the American Competitiveness in the 21 Century Act of st2000 (AC21). This Act resulted in the recapture of 130,107 unused employment-based visa numbers from 1999 and 2000 to be made available to first, second, and third preference employment-based immigrants once the annual limit had been reached. Approximately 94,000 of those recaptured visa numbers were used in 2005, none were used in 2006, and 7,312 were used in 2007.
In 2007, the number of employment-based preference immigrants exceeded the above limit. This was due to provisions of the REAL ID Act of 2005
that allowed the recapture of 50,000 unused employment-based
visas (4,743 of these visas were used in 2007) and provisions of the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act of 2000 that
permitted the recapture of 130,107 visas (7,312 of these visas were used in 2007).

Best option is to file new PERM + new I-140 and then port the PD

fromnaija,
The pdf file in your post indicates that you would qualify for in-state tuition if you have filed for GC. How does the university determine that you have filed for GC? After you have filed for labor or filed for 140 or only after filing of 485? Those 3 dates could be years apart and depending on how the university defines that you have filed for GC could determine the residency status. If you have any further information, please share.
They only accept filing of I-485. I submitted an appeal after I file I-485 before my son's status fo in-state tuition was approved.

It would have been much helpful had DOS put forth the no. of visas still left over.
What's your take on the latest visa bulletin.
Thanks
Answer by Ron
They did say that they only had "a handful" of visas left. This advance is not necessarily inconsistent with that earlier statement. In order to use up visas and avoid waste, the Visa Office has to manage the quota to make sure that there are enough applications AND ADJUDICATIONS to exhaust the quota. They have no control over the CIS, but they do have control over the overseas consular posts.
What this tells me is that the CIS is doing nothing (or next to nothing) to use up India and China E2 numbers. By advancing the cutoff dates last month, VO was able to make more cases at overseas posts available for close out. Since the CIS obviously did not use many China/India E2 numbers in July and August, VO has had to advance the cutoff dates again to make enough cases pending at consular posts available to use up those few remaining numbers.

Hi,
I self e-filed my EAD application and the Receipt date is 6/7/10. They called for Biometrics which is done.
I got an email saying that they have sent a RFE. Waited for 10 days, still no signs of RFE. When I called USCIS, they asked me to wait for 15 days. When I called after 15 days, they created a Service Request to re-mail the RFE. Now they say, I have to wait for 45 days. When I asked them if they will extend my deadline to reply to the RFE, she said she doesn't know.
Has anyone been in this situation ?
What kind of RFE will they send for an EAD extension.
I sent my 485 receipt and a copy of my EAD when I e-filed.
How many days do they usually give to respond to the RFE ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.

There is no way to clean every thing with in 3 to 4 years, Why because like EB3 china and India had country limit per year.
Country limit is EXCLUDED for employment based visa spill over. Read USCIS policy.

WANTED TO DRAW EVERYONE'S ATTENTION TO THIS
WASHINGTON � Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will approve a new deal on immigration on Thursday and move to bring the once-dead legislation back to the Senate floor next week, Democratic sources told FOX News.
Details of the immigration compromise remain to be finalized, but top Democratic sources say Reid has closely monitored the behind-the-scenes dickering over policy changes and a finite list of amendments due for consideration. Based on the latest updates on the policy and amendments, Reid will approve the compromise and move late Thursday to put the bill back on the calendar for Senate consideration in the middle of next week.
"He's going to bless it and he's going to get the Senate back in the business of dealing with immigration," said a source in the Democratic Senate leadership.
The principal change to the bipartisan immigration compromise that Reid shelved last week is the addition of $4.4 billion in added border security spending. That money will be added to the base bill to return to the floor. Any other changes to the immigration bill will have to be made through the amendment process.
The base immigration bill seeks to tighten border security, put an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants on a path to permanent residency and create a temporary worker program.
Republican leaders have promised to produce enough votes to curtail debate on the bill and proceed to final passage. Last week's impasse arose after Reid twice failed to collect the 60 votes necessary to limit debate and move toward final passage.
With the GOP votes in hand and a finite list of amendments to be offered by 11 Democratic and 11 Republican senators, Democratic sources said Reid is now determined to see whether the legislation can survive the amendment process intact. If it does, the Senate could vote on final passage of the bill by next Friday, Democratic sources said.
GOP sources tell FOX News that the new bill has enough support from Republicans for Reid to prevail on a procedural vote to get the bill to final passage.
Earlier in the day, President Bush agreed to the plan in hopes of winning over fellow Republicans.
"We're going to show the American people that the promises in this bill will be kept," Bush said in a speech to the Associated Builders and Contractors.
An earlier procedural vote on June 7 failed to get the 60 votes necessary to curtail debate, a defeat Reid said forced him to pull the bill.
That maneuver drastically diminished prospects for comprehensive immigration reform, but a tenacious lobbying effort by top Bush administration officials and the bipartisan architects of the so-called "grand compromise" have kept the bill on life support.
Many hurdles to passing the Senate bill remain. Still, efforts to revive the bill appear to have more momentum than at any time since Reid pulled the bill from the floor. All sides agree if a commitment to passing the bill isn't agreed to this week, the bill is likely to die.
FOX News' Major Garrett and Trish Turner contributed to this report.

Got the approval notice today :) "Welcome to the United States of America" - ironically i have been in this country for a decade now! finally the "welcome" :)
It has been a very long journey!!! and a very frustrating one for the last few years... but the feeling that I now get is really liberating... first thing I did was thanked God for ending the seemingly endless wait that me and my wife (she didn't care as much) were in.
I'm already thinking of the things I want to do after this new found liberation... it includes showing the middle finger to those who have taken undue advantage of my status :cool: :D and i'm not taking it anymore... I'll be a new person starting Monday!
Just so there is no confusion... my PD was Feb 2003 EB3 but my wife's PD was EB2 April 2004... we got our freedom through her application. If anyone needs more info on how/what/when - i can share that (it had its up's and downs - mainly downs, but all's well that ends well)!
Lastly as a token of my real support to the cause of IV I will be donating a small amount. I have donated in the past... I have participated in conversations in the past... I was not so active on other fronts but I truly believe in this organizations effort to help the community. And God willing each one of you will get this freedom soon! God Bless!

As far as contacting AILA goes, could we have someone from core who knows them come forward and help us voice our concerns if we're able to gather some support for this?
This can turn into an ugly backlog pretty soon if nothing gets done about it. I read last month that they had 146k pending I-140 cases.
My point is not TSC or NSC - my point is we all sufferers should now unite and create pressure. I cant do alone , you cant do alone.
How do you want to contact AILA - why they should suddenly listen to a bunch of 10 stray immigrants like you , me ??
One thing i dont follow in your post how EB3 becoming U affect Processing times of I-140 ? I-140 doesn't depend on "Country of Origin" or "Retrogression".
Let me know !

I think my original question still remains unanswered.
1. I do not have my I-485 receipt notice(I do have the numbers though)
2. I do not have EAD/AP(Employer did not let us apply)
3. I'm already in my 7th year of H1. Current stamp expires in Sep'2008.
Can I invoke Ac21 somehow?

Google for something called "Follow to Join", if you were single then why did you apply for 485? Atleast you could have withdrawn teh application if you had applied by mistake....
But for follow to join i think there is a clause that the person should be married before 485 gets approved, meaning the primary applicant did not add spouse to 485 and his 485 gets approved or the wife does not have 485 approval then they can use follow to join.
But do speak to an attorney if follow to join can be applicable in your case (i remember reading some 60 day limit or so) but please confirm and act accordingly.
Otherwise only other option you have is to get married and bring your spouse on any other visa like h1b or so.
Dontworry my friend speak to a good attorney they may advice what to do.
