Hi Guys,
In my humble opinion simple and easyway to distinguish ourselves from illegal immigrants is to have a premium processing for GC. What ever may be the solutions there will always be backlogs either in Labor or I140 or I485 because we are on the same track as millions of others..
From DOL perspective there is no benefit for them to process our applicatins faster than other applications..or they may simply be lacking resources to treat us as we want them to..
I don't think any high skilled professional would mind paying lilttle extra ( or significantly extra) if the process is certain and fast because once we have the GC we will not be at mercy of employers at the time of raises or need not be stuck in less paying jobs etc..
I request IV to incorporate this in their agenda.
Cheers

My lawyer filed my Labor certification stating that the job requires 'BS degree in CS'. My labor got approved last month.
I hold a MS degree in CS and BS degree in Industrial Engg.
Now while I am about to file for I-140, I am getting information from various sources that my bachelor's degree has to be in CS, irrespective of holding a master's degree in CS.
Has anyone faced similar situation? How can I resolve this issue?
Please help as I almost spent 4 years in LC backlog queue!!!!!!!!

You should be Ok. Usually the job req. list the "minimun" job requirements. If you are overqualified that is fine.

rrk,
you ned to be more specific about your situation in order for us to give our 2 cents.
1. Did you get EAD thru your spouse...???
2. If Not then being on bench is not good since you are on H1b. Try to to get employed...ASAP.

Thanks all. I think the labor only says BS + min 3 years experience in related field. What are the chances that if I proceed on Monday, I will get an RFE on this? And would there be anyway I could respond to that RFE successfully?

i have a friend from mexico that got here cause she married a us citizen, well long story short her green card expires on the 21st of august she has an appointment on that day for what i think is to get her permanent residency. well her problem is that she just caught her husband cheating on her and doesnt want to be with him anymore. but she thinks if she leaves him , she will destroy her chances of getting her permanent residency. how does that work? is she forced to stay with him even though he mistreats her and cheats on her to be able to get her residency? any responses would be appreciated . thanks in advance.

USCIS and DOS played ping pong on us.
USCIS played June Fool.
We are panned.
I told my wife that I will get her EAD in 3 months. Now what I should I say. I am insulted embarassed.
I planned to leave my company in 6 months. Now again I am struck.
I decided to marry a girl just because the dates are current. Now I am struck.
Oh USCIS(GOD)!!, Why did you do this me?

Hi
Recently we went for interview and they requested a PCC for my wife since her finger prints were non classiable. So i have contacted my local city police and they have requested to contact the nj state police.

thanks

Hello,
I am on F1 visa from India and doing PhD US university. My husband is in H1B visa from 2007 November. I would like to apply for green card via National Interest Waiver. When I asked an attorny, he said that since you are from India, it will take few years to get EAD. But I read that you can apply I-40 and I-485 concurently and get EAD card in an year.
Can anyone help me please?

Nice work. I definately like the second shot better with the red bulbs. You could try to rig up a "tent" over and around the sides of the shot with white sheets and put some lights shining thru that. That would give you a bit more consistency and cut down on the specular highlights a bit (although they are not bad by any means in either of these shots.
Another option would be to go for a really slow shutter speed and use a flashlight to "paint" the glasses. This sort of thing takes a lot of practice but I've seen some excellent shots done by this method.

I expected Rep. Ed Royce to come hard on Labor Secretary Elaine Chao to improve performance of USCIS, taking your question as a cue. Thats what I would expect from a true leader. Not any circumvoluted responses.
Next time, please ask a specific question which elicits yes/no response like his position on SKIL bill and if he would vote in support of it. No more spin on illegal immigration to not support legal immigration. Then it will show how supportive of he is for immigration.
After 9/11, former INS functions of border security went to Dept. of Homeland Security. USCIS is solely for immigration processing only. This reorganization should have improved performance of USCIS. Instead, we see the more delays, hear more stories, and fudged measurement criteria to show USCIS in good light to the Congress inspite of the poor performance.

While filling the application online for parents visa interview what would be a better answer for the following questions:
Who Will Pay For Your Trip?
What would be a better answer?
Self.
OR
Children(in U.S)
Does it even matter?
Are Any of The Following Persons in The U.S., or Do They Have U.S. Legal Permanent Residence or U.S. Citizenship? *
Mark YES or NO and indicate that person's status in the U.S. (i.e., U.S. legal permanent resident, U.S. citizen, visiting, studying, working, etc.).
Bother/Sister etc.
Would it be better to say ?
No
OR
Mention about the people(siblings of parents) that are here
Was this Application Prepared by Another Person on Your Behalf? *
(If answer is YES, then have that person complete item 40.)
Should we say
Yes
OR
No (When actually Children are filling the application.)
Please Advice
Thank you.

Painter 7 like Painter 6 should have come with a manual. The one I got with 6.0 is very extensive and well formated to teaching the programs finer aspects.
if you bought it and didn't get a manual.. I'd complain. If you didn't buy it.. you'll probebly have to slug through it and learn as you discover stuff. Painter itself is not really a well documented programs as these things go. I've never seen a book that details it yet.
I will be stopping by B&N in the next couple of days. I'll be sure to take a look on the shelf to see if there is anything around that might help you out.
Sorry I can't be of more help. I do know what you mean about it being an extensive program. 6.0 has so many features I can rarely keep track of them all. I'm usually looking things up to see how I can do them.

EB3-I, PD Nov 2002, 485 filed 2004. Have EAD and also have approved H1 (year 9 -12), but not stamped on passport. With about 7000 people ahead of me, wait time for my GC is estimated to be 2-3 years.
Have been with employer who filed GC for over 10 years now. There is a job opportunity with another employer, but the job description may be different from what was filed on my original GC. Pay will be similar, but travel will substantially reduced, allowing me to be home more.
What should I be careful of if pursuing this new opportunity? Is there anything I should be asking the new employer for related to the job description filing? Should I be asking them to file H1 transfer or use my EAD? Should I ask them to file EB2-I and port my PD over?
Thanks - just want to make sure I am not jeopardizing my 10 year wait for this opportunity.
1. Make sure that your new company's HR and lawyer are comfortable in supporting the fact that new job is same or similar to old job. It is a grey area and you can be the best judge on it.
2. When you join the new employer ask their attorney to send AC-21 letter to USCIS indicating that you have moved to a same or similar job based on AC-21 porting.
3. Filing for H1 or EAD is a personal choice - as far as GC processing goes I don't see a difference in using either.
4. If they are willing and and the position qualifies you to file EB-2 and port PD- sure go ahead.

It's great that someone started this topic. I've been facing the same discrimination for the past month. A government agency would not recognize my I-797 for H-1B as valid document to prove my legal status. At the same time someone else got approved because he has a H-1B visa stamp in the passport.
Is there something saying that I-797 is a valid and sufficient proof for I-9 and failure to recognize it is discrimination?
Thanks!!!

I heard once you get your GC, you have to stay 6 months in US?
thats correct , india is booming right now and it will only go up
So i think that even if we succeed in getting the green card , we should always have one option to going back.

Hi,
Quick question here. Suppose the h1 receipt was not attached and the application was already sent by july2. Can we send in a copy of H1 extension receipt now ?
My h1b visa expired in april 2007 and extension was filed in feb 2007. I94 also expired in april 2007. I am thinking as long as u apply aos application within 180 days of being out of status for any reason we are in status.
Correct me if im wrong and add any info that you may feel is relevant..
Anxiously waiting for reply
