for once sepia mutiny decided to cover our story. i still dont understand that blog. more than 80% of the posts are dedicated to ridiculing indian issues...most of the contributors are indian americans...but they never cover our issues.
i cant understand why they cant make up their mind...either limit yourself to covering indian american issues or accept that we are a part of your ethnic group too. is there an african american blog that keeps harping about child mortality in africa? is there a italian american blog that is dedicated to researching origins of pasta recipes in italy?
i dont get them but at least we get some more coverage.

It is not good disparaging the countries needing TV by calling them idiotic and asking for boycott etc. Please know that you are living in a country (USA) which is far worse than those "idiotic" countries in this respect since 2003. US needs C1 visa for transiting through its airports even when you have a valid VISA stamp in your passport to a destination country and you need to fill eqaully gruelling application (DS 156). Also you need to carry documents for travel purposes and financial support.

You read my mind.
Guys,
Also I have analyzed that people who have a date in 2008 somehow predict that the dates might move to 2008 and people who have a PD of July predict that dates will move to August . This is just an observation and nothing more , and if you go through the threads thats exactly what you will see.

My new theory is the DOS was influenced by politicians who are attorneys (I beleive that there 50% of lawmakers) and it released a huge Visa Numbers. The politicians have strong connections to law firms. The USCIS doesn't want to do it, because it doesn't have 'resources', 'money', 'manpower. So, they are on a near strike mode, not attending routine works like sending receipts., etc in a timely fashion.

Many issues are being swept under the carpet. I had written a few times earlier. The backlog and GC issues are not truly a numbers game. It is the neo-con regime and the republican culture that had engulfed Washington, its consequences, that had made things miserable for us; we, the legal immigrants.
4/5ths of the illegal immigrants have been here by the time of Clinton's second term. It was a non-issue then. You should understand why is it an issue now? Why can't it the legal and illegal immigration be addressed and solved. In a democracy, things like this can be solved administratively, legislatively and judicially. Adminstratively, we we hit below the belt, in backlogs, in delays, in sudden rule changes (no concurrent filings of PD is not current). Legislatively, they are stalling and falling apart. What is left for the immigrants?
I had written many times earlier.
Why should you know? Why should you understand? It is in your own interests that you understand things wisely. Failure to know what is happening on the ground, what is happening around us is a sure shot for personal failure.
In this connection, see a counter-point on the immigration bill.

I had already mentioned my EAD status when they had the interview. But after acceptiing it I mentioned it again in the conext of I9 form. Then they said they cant offer me emp;oyment due to my being on EAD.
This is a pretty big company. I understand that H1B is not protected under anti-discrimination for employment, but EAD holders, specifically those with AOS pending, are a protected against employment discrimination.
Does anyone have any links to the above conclusion ? I am so tired of this BS. I have spent long enough in this immigration c**p that if I have leave, might as well leave with a fight.

just anotherone of the expendable non-citizens
On the EAD itself it is written that it is illegal to discriminate against folks who are having EAD. So if you have any written or verbal proof about employer saying no based on EAD you have a case of discrimination.

If you get different A#s then definitely there is a possibility of delays in the application.
I am not sure what happens with namechecks. Need to research further. My guess is you will have double chances of getting stuck in namechecks! This assumption is based on the fact that multiple filers need to undergo fingerprinting and background checks multiple times and thus chances of getting stuck in namechecks must also increase for them.
i heard from my lawyer that we shoud combine them...will talk to him again on Friday...lets see wat he suggests...
does anybody know the process of combining or withdrawing one set....

I would like this idea to materialize but I am just wondering how it is practical.
Except for waiting for a visa number to be available all other delays are due to the time that it takes to process a case (and also due to the country quota). In labor stage, DOL determines if there is any citizen who fit in the labor description and who is looking for a job. In 140 stage, USCIS determines if the company is in good standing and has the ability to pay. In final stage, the candidate’s biometrics is taken and his background checked. All these are essential process in adjudicating a GC case in the employment category. I just do not how all these can be surpassed and candidates handed over a GC, let alone citizenship.
Allocating recaptured visa numbers and following a sensible order is more practical in eliminating some of the delays…
Most of the people in this forum or most are very highly motivated and cant wait in queues for ever due to the delays that make no sense. I am not sure whats not so clear to you. Looks like you got used to these waits. Are you used to these waits, or have no motivation to do bigger things like rising in jobs, creating companies, creating jobs, but are ok to be stuck forever in these processes that make no sense... Sorry, but not many want to wait in lines beyond the limit.

NO Matter how many people say "Take it easy" its simply not possible, you will have to be a superhuman to do that. Sure its stressfull but no more stressful than boarding your first flight to USA. no more stressful than attending 1st H1B interview at the consulate or your first client interview. So in the end, we have been through all the hurdles with most of us surviving 2001-2002 job markets and now is 2007.
The point is we have been through all that successfully and thats a BIG WIN. So we will be through this too, but not without stress. The day we decided to come to USA and until now we have been successful as we are resourceful and can improvise at a short notice and we will. We are shrewd individuals and We Will PREVAIL.
Amen....

Now how do you know that, do you check their passports or do you ask them point blank about their origin. Or do you try to place them by their accent. Obviously not. The only way you can make such a blanket statement and attach an "immigrant of some variety" lable is by the looks alone. My friend, the last ten pages are precisly about such issues. Also, it is quite possible for a third generation Indian/Pakisani, a true Brit nevertheless, to work at Heathrow ... and If I borrowed your eyes for a minute, I see only an immigrant invading the country.
i'm as indian as you are and have been through LON more than once and it's more than obvious that it's staffed by recent immigrants- from their speech and from the casual use of native language all around. i think the point that was being made though was that any "racism" you perceive at LON is not from the maligned "white brit". hope you got that point...
now if this is going to be the tenor of this discussion i will be happy to close this thread. please keep this objective and free of finger pointing and prejudice. and please everyone...think before posting.

Hi vikki76, bpositive, dipika, caliguy, leoindiano:
If I am correct, your PDs are current, right? Do you guys know if your case was pre-adjudicated and/or assigned to an IO? I keep reading from the forums that some apps with PDs as late as Dec 2004 and a couple of Jan 2005 got approved. Wondering why the earlier (eg. mine is July 04) not approved yet. Could we all join togther and write a letter to Napolitino(Thanks to SoP for the idea) and ask her to take some action on our cases?
Its current. and my case was pre-adjudicated on feb 20th, 2009, assigned to IO on sept 17th 2009.
Sept 4th, infopass 1 - all clear, pre-adjudicated on feb 2009.
Sept 7th to 15th - 4 SR's - No Response on any of them. all CSR's told samething, everything is clear except FP, opening Request to send them to you.
Sept 15th - Lawyer's email - Not sure if this helped, But, exactly after this, it is assigned to IO.
Visa Numbers are out for Fiscal Year 2009.
Sept 22nd - infopass 2 - both apps with same officer, please wait
Sept 25th - FP notices arrived on 25th, with appointments for oct 21st,
Sept 29th - did a walk-in for FP at local ASC and got it done early. So, it clears the way for october.
Sept 30th - there was a hard LUD, may be coming out of FP uploading.
Got this reply from Senator on 29th.

These I-485’s are based on the principle’s approved I-140, SRC0XXXXXXXXXX as a 2nd preference from India with a priority date of 11/19/04 and there is a current visa available.
TSC is currently processing I-485 visas based on filing date order. There are a large amount of cases that are being worked and these cases will be worked in receipt date order. With the limited amount of visas that are currently available between now and September 30, 2009, there is no guarantee that these cases can be completed before the end of FY2009. It is estimated, that in general, these cases will be completed between 45-90 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since, apps are with IO now, i am restraining from doing any more inquiries. The only hurdle we knew, FP is now complete.
my case is TSC - EAC - TSC transfer case. original receipt date at TSC was august 3rd 2007. transfer from EAC to TSC receipt date is oct 11th 2007. ND Oct 16th 2007.

If you are scared of losing your job, then find another job.
If you are worried about getting replaced, then upgrade your skills and get competitive rather than crying about it.
If you are not happy with your salary in your profession and then people will get $5/hr due to outsourcing, then change your profession and accept globalization. You racist good for nothing folks had it good for very long. Do not expect $100/hr for HTML coding anymore.
If you want to launch a crusade against it, then how about openly declare with your name , phone number, address and start your website against it.
If you cannot do anything other than whining anonymously, then join loser's guild and stay a coward. (I guess you are already)

It is rather unfortunate that people on consular process track despite the fact that they have approved I-140, yet they couldn't be allocated visa while other people on adjustment process could file their I-485 when everybody PD became current. don't you think it is rather unfortunate.
Any hope for consular processing? with the situation.
Don't bother to ask anything about CP for people just don't care to respond!
I have tried enough on every forum including this (even whe we need a genuine information and not just predictions).
No one to be blamed! But relax, there will be a time for CP guys too!

Listing down things I did after my date was current-
1: I opened an SR on July 5th (immediately after long weekend) as my date was current in July. Got back a response in a week that no visa numbers available. Either their system was not updated or they didnt check to see if dates were current.
2: Had to wait a month before I could open another SR. In first week of August I contacted local congresswoman/opened another SR. Congresswoman reply was that the case is being actively worked on.
3: Also, contacted the Ombudsman (mailed all the required docs) in 1st week of August. Got a response in early September that Ombudsman can help to improve procedural inefficiencies in USCIS or some extreme cases.
4: Sent an email to SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov on August 4th with pretty much the same details- case pending/PD etc. On same day they forwarded email to NCSCfollowup, TSC for resolution.
5: On Aug 9th got reply from NCSCfollowup, TSC that file has been requested. To allow 60 days.
6: After this I did not followup in any way. Then I got an email from NCSCfollowup, TSC on 17th September that my case review was complete, prints/security was over and my file would be forwarded to officers for completing.
7: Got approval email today (September 21st).
In my opinion the email to SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov helped the most.
If anyone needs any details on email/letter format please let me know. (Green.Tech, Saileshdude...)

Restrictions on H1B is definitely not going to help retain jobs in America. More technnical jobs will be outsourced. My friend work for a TARP company and they are directed to move more technical jobs to offshore. The raid and other things what they are doing now will certainly prevent fraud.
