I am sorry if I am wrong, but do you think if IV CORE try to hold a meeting with top CIS officials on this issue, wouldn't that be more effective? Many members reported not getting proper response to letters. Who knows whether anyone @CIS has time & willingness to read and act on our letters? Why not take an active approach rather than passive one?
I agree, We still should send the letters though. I will send mine by monday Nov. 10. Meanwhile, if we can do the webfax or email, we may can have more members participate. just my 2 cents!
So far not even 100 participants to the event. This lack of action is killing us. I sincerely thank people who sent mails.

I did send letters by USPS, but email to CIS Ombudsman is not yet sent. Can you provide link or redirect, how to do this? (template etc.) will do this ASAP. Also ask my co-workers to do this. Thanks! You are doing a great great Job for our community.

Buddy sledge_hammer this is the mess mortgage companies created, they need to face it.fanie's and fadie's caused this mess and they to need face it ?
I don't understand what you are trying to get at by asking me a question if Freddie and Fannie need to face "it"? If you are so sure they caused it, why ask me?
Who the hell are "fanie" and "fadie"? Are they your work buddies? Its "Fannie" and "Freddie"!
And why the hell is there an apostrophe ('s) to indicate plurality?
Do you think the individual should sit in that home and hit on their head with the 'sledgehammer' when they are in this mess? I would say get the f**k out of that house and lead peaceful life.
What mess? "punjabi77" is not in a mess! He is losing 20K if he sells his home. He is looking to relocate becuase he has found a better paying job.
You must be one of those idiots who can't construct logical arguments but just wants a piece of it on a forum to look like they too contributed to a current affairs topic. The likes of you read a couple of headlines on the internet or overhear someone at the water fountain talk "economics" and want to show off their new found knowledge over a forum where other ignorant and ill-informed trolls just like you give crappy suggestions and advices, and all of you think you know what you're talking about!
Sledge_hammer, use the thing in your screen name on your head to make your thoughts work correctly. Hey don't get me started.
Well, you should really have warned me about not getting you started at the begining of all that crap you wrote, not at the end! Now that I have gotten you "started", what are you going to do about it dimwit?????

You don't need A# number from I140.
When you give First name, last name and birth date. They can pull all your immigration applications submitted previously. If you have I140 approved that will show them in database.

I have verified that with my attorney. The officer should not have asked you to enter on AP. You could have entered on H1 or AP and it was up to you. This is a good example of the fact that some immigration officers do not know the rules well. If your H1 is still good, you can leave and re-enter showing H1 and you should be fine.
G
Thats correct. I came back from India yesterday and i used H1 but my wife used her AP to enter at the POE.

We had our interview on January 17th in chennai Consulate. Interview was smooth - which company.. how long you were working for the company and what do you do there.. these were the questions. We were told at the end that we will receive passports within a week.
So far We ( H1B extension -- 3rd time and my wife - H4( 2nd Time), have not received the passports. I already postponed our date of travel to Feb 5th. Looks like I have to postpone again.
Frustated..
Calling VFS daily to hear the same news.. Passports not been handed over VFS. The VISA is still under process.
Called Consulate Twice ... they say they are doing security checks..
for how long???
Vamsi
Hi, Vamsi, All,
I just called the Consulate for the umpteenth time in 4 weeks. The lady was very rude, and did not even listen to my questions. Here is how it went:
Her: Consular Section
Me: Good Afternoon madam.
Her: Hmm.
Me: I want to know the procedure to withdraw a visa application.
Her: You can send an email to us, stating that you need to withdraw the application, stating I-797 details.
Me: Ok. Do I need to submit anything else with the email?
Her: You need to submit a copy of the I-797 and a letter signed in original by you.
Me: But how can I sign the email?
Her: You cannot just email. We need original signed letter in courier. (note she said email before).
Me: And how much time does it take for the passports to return once you receive that letter?
Her: 3-4 business days. Ok. (she is about to hang up).
Me: (In a hurry) Madam I had one more question for you. Would you be able to track my passport also? It has been over a month since the visa interview, and we are still waiting for the passports.
Her: It is (couldnt hear) PIMS (couldnt hear).
Me: So has it been processed already, or is it in PIMS processing still?
Her: It is in PIMS. (wow, what a short answer).
Me: Can you tell me where is it stuck? May be I can get help from the company lawyer?
Her: Sir, you have to wait for the administrative processing to finish. I cant give you any specific details as to what is going on. You just have to wait. If you dont want to wait, you can withdraw the application. (she hangs up. Thats right, she hung up like this!)
My company lawyer suggests that I withdraw the application, and use the AP to get back. Now I am not sure if they will return the passports faster than they will stamp them. What a mess!!!!
Help dear God!

JUAN GONZALEZ: �some of the very companies that you were criticizing for outsourcing.
LOU DOBBS: This is a very difficult thing for ideologues like you two to contend with�that is, balancing two concepts at the same time. But is there a correlation between investment in companies and a business practice that is absolutely pervasive in corporate America? Can you think of a single corporation in America that is not supporting outsourcing of jobs to overseas labor markets, cheap overseas labor markets?

Addressing Employment-Based Visa Wait Times
There have been a lot of comments and questions received from readers about employment-based petitions and related applications for adjustment to lawful permanent residence.
This is a complicated subject, so I want to provide a little background. Becoming a permanent resident based on employment can require a number of steps, including obtaining a labor certification from the Department of Labor, receiving approval on a petition for alien worker from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) (Form I-140) and obtaining an immigrant visa from the Department of State or being granted adjustment of status from USCIS. In addition, by law there are numerical limits on the number of people who can immigrate to the U.S. each year in most categories. You can see a more detailed explanation about the employment-based visa application process online.
Some readers have asked about the volume of employment applications and delays that have occurred in employment-based visa petition and adjustment application processing in late 2007 and early 2008. There were a number of factors that affected USCIS' handling of these cases during that time. Employers filed more than 234,000 petitions to sponsor foreign workers (Form I-140) as the Department of Labor cleared a large backlog of labor certification applications and implemented new regulations. Adjustment-of-status application filings also soared to nearly 300,000. We attribute the increase in adjustment application filings to a couple things. First, customers' anticipation of USCIS' filing fee increase in July 2007. Second, a unique opportunity for workers and their families to file adjustment applications based on the visa availability date announced in the July 2007 Immigrant Visa Bulletin. Many of these availability dates have since reverted, creating a backlog of adjustment applications that cannot be adjudicated until a visa becomes available.
A few months ago, a customer indicated his frustration that while he can monitor the Visa Bulletin to see how it moves month to month, he still has no idea how many people are waiting in line with pending adjustment applications or how long it may be before USCIS can process and approve his application. We know this customer is not alone! In response to that customer's request, we are working to make this information available on our Web site.
I understand the importance of becoming a permanent resident. I also recognize workers may rightly want to take advantage of the limited provisions in current law that allow certain applicants to change employers without affecting their ability to adjust status. As a result, USCIS has taken the following steps:
USCIS has increased the emphasis on processing employment-based petitions. Our goal is to complete adjudication on the older I-140 petitions and to process newer petitions within our targeted processing time of four months. We are making progress toward this goal and anticipate reaching this goal by the end of September 2009.
USCIS is issuing employment authorization documents valid for two years, as needed.
USCIS is working with the State Department to make sure we use every available visa number. In 2007, we had more visas available in the family-based categories than were needed, so as permitted by law, we transferred those available family-based visas for use in the employment-based application process.
I recognize that this is a difficult and complex situation and USCIS is working hard to make improvements and to increase transparency in our processes.

04/25/2009: On-Going USCIS Efforts to Reduce Backlog in Employment-Based Immigration Applications
Lately, I-140 and EB-485 applicants have been receiving envelopes from the Service Centers with their long-awaited approval notices, particularly those cases which were filed during and after the FY 2007 July Visa Bulletin fiasco period. Along with the development, information has been released by the stake-holder agencies of the Department of State and the USCIS indicating that there has been efforts on the part of the USCIS to eliminate employment-based immigation backlogs. In releasing the May 2009 Visa Bulletin, the State Department confirmed that the USCIS had been taking out EB visa numbers en masse exhausting all the EB-3 visa numbers available for the rest of FY 2009.
This report is consistent with the information released by the USCIS on its projected processing time to four months for the employment-based I-140 petitions and EB-485 applications by the end of FY 2009, which is September 30, 2009. The goal appears to have contributed to the exhaustion of annually allocated employment-based visa numbers so that no EB visa numbers be unused or wasted by the end of FY 2009. The commitment to this goal of the USCIS is reaffirmed by yesterday's release of Mr. Michael Ayte's report on the employment-based visa processing times in the Leadership Journal of the DHS. Considering a huge backlog and processing delays in the employment-based immigration petitions and 485 applications for almost two years as affected primarily by the FY 2007 July Visa Bulletin fiasco, the recent event that evolved in the USCIS processing time change is certainly a welcome news for waiters who have suffered from the past backlogs.
What have tirbuted to this change? The long-term strategy for reduction of processing times for immigration benefits applications appears to be launch of "Transformation Program" that intended to achieve reduction of processing times by turning current paper-based application and processing system into complete electronization system and process focusing on the concept of digital "account" databases within approximately a period of five years. However, this program has experienced a snag. However, lately the DHS disclosed its multi-billion dollar contract with the IBM for two programs. One is to convert all the existing files and date into digitazition and the other is to develop and implement electronic application and processing system. Reportedly, for this purpose, the IBM reenforced its operation in India and the work is underway. However, report indicates that the first phase appears to focus on the digitazation of existing database rather than implementation of electronic application and processing system. Overall, the goal of the contract appears to be completed in the next five years. It thus appears that the current efforts of elimination of backlogs within this fiscal year do not rely on the progress of this program. The big momentum was created by the Congress appropriating fund for USCIS human resources.
gtThanks to the Congress action to give fund for hiring additional 2,000 resources, the USCIS recxruited and trained new hires who joined the USCIS field offices including Service Centers and local district and field offices, initially focusing on the job of elimination of huge naturalization applications. USCIS had been reporting that the hurdle for reduction of employment-based immigration cases was the mountain of naturalization applications that poured in around the time of FY 2007 July Visa Bulletin fiasco. Now, the naturalization application backlog is under control, inreased resources are becoming available for the employment-based immigration files. Another important factor that has contributed to the agency's recent move was the implementation name-check reduction agreement between the FBI and the DHS and the USCIS policy to complete adjudicaion of EB-485 applications when the FBI name check failed to complete within 180 days. The third factor that cannot be discounted nor minimized is the new DHS leadership's move and commitment for the elimination of the employment-based immigration case backlogs. As people may recall, the Secretary Napolitano of the DHS issued a directive to report the state of backlogs in the immigration benefit applications and the USCIS leaders plan for reduction or elimination of such backlogs. With all of the above developments combined, the employment-based immgrant community is continuously expected to witness the reduction of processing times, at least for a short term. However, long-term reduction or elimination of EB case processing backlog is likely to depend on success of the IBM contract digitization program of the USCIS. This needs continuing internal and external political support, and we hope that the Congress extends its strong support, particularly considering importance of the successful reengineering program to accomodate the potentially forthcoming avalanche and flood gate opening for case loads for the USCIS when the country passes the Comprehensive Immigration Reform legi

Unfortunately the Timing of IV Advocacy day, and also May 2011 VB schedule at a wrong date. If the Govt Shutdown due to the budget deadlock, I'm not sure how both of these days will play out. Any Idea guys. :confused:
Politicians are politicians every where. India or USA their intensions are the same. Always cause a trouble to the ruling party, no mercy for the general public who suffer directly with their actions.
Shutdown means no work for 800k fedaral employees. Hence no wages. But bills won't stop.
Hope for the best.

Wait for the Updates from USICS today/monday morning...If they didnt give any statement considering a lot of rumors/activity , defintely some bad news is in store ......
On the flip side, if this is only a rumor, then USCIS/DOS won't comment at all.
Thanks,
Jayant

Friends,
With the June visa bulletin, my priority date became current. My Labor and 140 already approved. When can I apply for I485? After May 31 or before May 31.
Thanks for your help.

I urge you and anybody else who has gone through this to find out more about this by calling the OSC's hotline. (http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/osc/htm/engperliwdiss.htm) If I were in your situation, I would at least want to find out what my rights are, what is discriminatory and what is allowed by law. Call them and simply explain that you believe that you were not considered eligible for a job because you have an EAD card as opposed to a Green Card.
Exactly. I couldn't agree more if I wanted to.

Looks like this year USCIS understood they need some money and accept some extra applications, which may be the same file I485 when PD is not current. and date might go to end of 2007.
Just a thought
If it is for applications money, they might as well make it current.
There are not many applications between Jan2008 and jan2011

Hi
I have a question regarding g28 , did u file this form when you did it yourself ..
can an attorney file g28 later on if there is a RFE , who else can file g28
I don't think you need to fill it yourself. But, for the second question, someone with experience in dealing with RFEs should enlighten.
