The problem with IV core is they want to solve all the problems at once...which never going to happen... I really do not understand why they are not making this as an Action item and raise donations. let us make this sri1309 letter final and start sending it to congress (house, sensate members)
Pappu or any active IV Core members, we are waiting for your answer. How we can go on this?:confused:

i do not understand how overstaying and transit visas are related.
the TV allows you to "walk from one gate to another" in the international transit area...that's all. you cannot walk OUT anyway without crossing immigration- and if you want to do that- you always need a visa. this new visa, confers (for 90 bucks per person) the right to walk to your plane- sometime the right to walk off and back on to your plane...what a joke!
even the US now requires this so the UK only did a copycat deal, but the issue here (besides money grubbing behavior) is the way people are treated. sorry lost in space...but you do not seem to understand. if you do not step on UK soil you cannot overstay. the purported reason for this "walking visa" is security. and we all know that "security" can these days be a euphemism for treating people pretty badly. personally if i had the choice when transiting i would not go through london...ever. if nothing else the taxes are astronomical and they make the tickets more expensive most times and walking from one gate to another involves serious hassles with new security checks and long lines. and i do hope that enough people vote with their feet so the UK govt pays attention. london is too wonderful a city to lose out like this....

My $0.02. This could be a pre-emptive measure on the part of AILA. There must have been some talk at the state department of mid-month regression. This might be a strategy to scotch that. Raise a ruckus and send a message that we are prepared to file a law suit. Who knows? We are mere pawns in this grand game. Whatever happens, I hope people keep some perspective and not lose sleep over this.

Lets treat good news for EB2 as good news for EB3 also.
If not today, some of us EB3 folks may want to port. So it will help more people to port and also to compensate to some extent the #s coming into EB2 pool from EB3.
Overall its a good news, and looks to be possible we see this on Murthy site also. Lets be happy.
Hoping for the best. Can't see waiting for another half a decade to get our GC.
In 6 months?!?! May be toooo optimistic!
At least EB2 comrades are enjoying the news at least after quite sometime!!!

FBI NAME CHECK banners (see below) should be displayed during the september rally to illustrate the painful delay in the NAME CHECK process.
DELAY IN SECURITY CHECK UNDERMINES THE GOAL OF NATION'S SECURITY!!
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!!!
LONGER THE DELAY GREATER THE RISK!!
Media and Congress WILL PAY to this issue!

Where does it say (please quote official DHS/USCIS/DOL publication or a bill) that employers must hire "US Citizens" first? I think the regulations are to give preference to US workers (note that its not US citizens) before brining somebody from abroad.
You do make a very good observation and we should clarify with the experts. Can anybody help clarifying this from the lawyers?
I dont know of any link to a particular publication, but I thought it was a common knowledge that the whole point of labor certification process, is for the DOL to monitor that a potential US worker (I thought it meant US Citizen but may be not), is not being displaced by a foreign worker. To be clear here though, the DOL does not prevent an employer from going ahead and sponsoring an H1B and hiring a foreign employee. But DOL is legally directed to reject such labor applications.
Though this is applicable only for H1B hiring and subsequent filing of GC process for such an employee, I am wondering whether there is any loophole in DOL's directives that might provide a cover for employers to enquire whether a propective employee is US Citizens are not.... Especailly in the PERM process don't they have to do active recruiting efforts and gather statiscis that they tried to hire US citizens ..?? How can an employer gather statistics if they didn't ask for work authorization related details....?
May be due to possible loopholes in such laws...they are able to take it a step further and enquiring about the kind of work authorization a candidate possesses!

Here is the link I was referring to in my earlier post: http://immigration-information.com/forums/blog.php?b=13
I'm not sure whether USCIS ever *appologized* per say but the second paragraph from the link above supports my earlier argument that the new spill-over policy (which in my personal opinion is more rational) is not a random, ad hoc decision by USCIS but rather a careful one after consulting congress etc.
This is not a proof that DOS apologized. Ron Gotcher is a good lawyer but what he mentioned on his blog cann't be used in court. Anyways, thanks.

Why would you say EAD and H1B will be denied??
if one is taunting , " Look FBI bosses , i am stuck in security check, still i am a working with my H1B/EAD . How dare you allow to people remain here - for many years - if you suspect something is fishy with their record "

I am only seeing only 100% illegal discrimination in these scenarios. Pretty soon, they will stop hiring US citizes of Indian (or Chines or Japanese or Italians ..) origin.
This is plain stupidity. These employers should first take a good look at an EAD and a GC. As for as work authorization is concerned, both these cards provide us with the same rights. The EAD says �The person identified is authorized to work in the US for the validity of this card� where as the GC says �The person identified by the card is authorized to work and remain in the US�.
So why does the legal department come into picture here? Is it because of the expiry date associated with EAD�s? If that�s the case even a GC has got an expiration date (a later date maybe). Does that mean that an additional budget is required to hire GC holders?

My wife recently started working using EAD. The HR folks there are well aware of EAD as there are people already working there on EAD. They did not have any issues with EAD. The only thing that they were saying from the begining is that they cannot sponser H1B and also the only thing they asked is whether she work authorization in this country. When she submmited the I9 form, the HR person just remained her to send the copy of EAD everytime she renews it

Though I like Obama as a person who promises positive change, I am afraid this will turn into disaster for all of us.
If all of you had watched the drama unfolding last year with CIR and Durbin's proposed draconic measures you will all know what is in store for us. We all know who will be pulling the strings as far as immigration policy making goes with democrats in the white house.

I am very sorry to hear this. It should be a rare case that you have got 221g after your visa has been approved by visa officer.
Approach the consulate with your email, and they might give you a questionnaire to fill up. It must be regarding some additional documents being required.
Dont worry, you will come through!

NK

Today I have frank and candid talk with senator office staff. This time I put FIFO question in forefornt (becoz I know what she will hear from USCIS). She promised to raise the issue with USCIS senior staff. She requested to give my concern in writing again. Let's see if she makes any difference.
Two issues raised with her in writing:
1. My I-485 Adjustment Application was delivered and physically received to INS Express, Nebraska Service Center, Lincoln, NE on July 2nd 2007 @ 11:11 AM via USPS Express Mail (Tracking No. EXXXXXXXUS). It’s approx 90 days. I didn’t even receive the Receipt Notice from NSC. Please help me track the fate of my application.
2. USCIS follows standard practice of First In First Out (FIFO) process. USCIS website reports issuing Receipt Notice for I-485 application received on August 2007. Why August received application are getting Receipt Notice and subsequent benefits (EAD, AP, etc) at the expense of July 2nd filed application? NSC have to work first on receipting and subsequent process of July 2nd application before NSC start working on July 3rd to August 17th Application. It’s unfair to applicant like me. I want honorable senator ask USCIS Management basic question, Why FIFO process is not followed?
Either I will get a RN or my application will be back to me soon. :)

Hi All,
I got the CPO on Sep 7, 2010. But we did not get any email about dependent application. Yesterday, I just called the customer service and spoke with level 2 officer to confirm about our cases. According to him my application is still pending with the officer and no decision has been made. I am really concerned that still no approvals. Moreover, I can not even open a SR because my status shows CPO. Btw I had my FP done on Sep 3, 2010.

One question to all the smart people on this forum:
In the old system, if EB1, Eb2 and EB3 ROW are current then "all" unused visa from all the EB category be given to which category first:
a) EB1 Non Row
b) Eb2 Non Row
c) Eb3 Non Row
d) None of the above
Now second part of the question is :
If that category already has enough people in line, will the spillover to the next category will take place:
a) Yes
b) No
Not saying I am smart, far from it (otherwise, I probably would have been eligible for citizenship by now) but USCIS seemed to have given it to the oldest in the line regardless of the category.

My spouse and I live in different cities - each will file their I-485/EAD/AP. She as dependent.
What should the spouse write for her address? Her current address, or mine?
Please advise.
Thanks
