Visa Bulletin the finger that USCIS gives to all the legal AOS immigrants on monthly basis thus securing more funding through EADs, APs, H1Bs, H4s and what not. Now they want more for FOIA info access.

lol well maybe i am a moron
but i expected California to be listed Alphabetically between Alabama and Colorado
since it wasn't there i just assumed there is no state chapter.
i doubt i would be the only one making this assumption.
Sure its trivial...but how many people made this assumption and just gave up looking for the state chapter?
Maybe its obvious to you but its not obvious to me that i should be searching for Northern and Southern California
i am contributing..and i have offered to handle some PR on here.. I don't live in DC so cannot do PR for the organisation there.
I recommend to read the book "Who moved my cheese?"
Who moved my cheese?: an amazing way to deal with change in your work and in your life [Book] (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&biw=1276&bih=580&q=who+moved+my+cheese&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=2733430461336083287&sa=X&ei=uaaOTeqgKefp0gGj-pm-Cw&ved=0CD4Q8wIwAg#)

I just found Feb 08 Stats (http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/APPLICATIONS%20FOR%20IMMIGRATION%20BENEFITS_Februa ry08.pdf) and in Feb 08 there were 787,516 I-485 cases pending. So this might be good news that the backlog is reducing?
Those 197k ( approx ) reduction could be from family based AOS.. until we get data from FOIA , we cannot relay on their information.. Its so broad range of figures they post.
Again who knows when they send us FOAI response.

CIR !!!! --> Not until 2011 at least based on the current political climate, etc IMO.
For EB3 (All countries) to see some light, the changes made recently to the allocation of excess visa, spill over and also to over subscribed countries need to be revisited. Not sure, what triggered USCIS / DOS to revise the interpretation after so many years. Did IV had any role on this, or not .. do not know.. I ask this as based on all forum updates, IV appears to have little success in the Admin Fix area. I have posted this so many times in various threads and did not get an answer, may be there is none. If the interpretation was somewhat like before, EB2 /3 both would have got the spillover... and all would have benefited in the order of PD. Now with the new interpretation. all excess / spillover visa just goes only to 2 countries (EB2 India / China). Looking at the latest numbers based on USCIS website, China has far less cases compared in India based on the cut-off date, which is good for India (EB2), as they now consume a big chunk of the numbers and rest are left out for now. I am not sure, what is opinion on this from folks from ROW (EB3) on this. Does IV has any comment on this... Having said this, I have nothing against Eb2 or EB2 India specific, and not getting into the argument whether or not EB2 need to given much preference.. (Well DOS allocated on 28.6% of total numbers to both this category). This is just my concern on the changes to interpretation for the visa spill over process.

Hello everyone,
Here's my situation. H-1B for self and H-4 for wife valid through Jan 2010. However our respective visas have expired in Dec 2006. So we'll need to get restamping next time we leave the country. We intend to travel to India this Summer from May through July. Ideally we would like to get the stamping done then during our stay in India. However there is a complication (isn't there ever) since my wife has an employer willing to sponsor her H-1B (starting in Oct 2008). I heard from the gurus here that this will be a COS from H-4 to H-1B and it is strongly recommended not to travel when a COS is pending. I think my options are as follows :
1. Get H-4 visa stamping in India in June while there. Assuming we do a premium processing for my wife's H-1B in April and travel to India after the decision is made (say by May), will there be any problems getting the H-4 visa stamping for my wife in India since we want to return in July before her H-1B starts in Oct?
2. The other option is to get a new H-4 stamping done before applying for the COS in April. This will be either done in Canada or Mexico I guess.
3. Another option is to straight away get the H-1b stamping for my wife in India instead of H-4 but that will cause her to wait in India through October which we would like to avoid.
Personally, we would like to do the first option, just get the H-4 restamping done in June and get back to US by July. But since she'll probably have an active H-1B starting in October, wondering if that will cause any issues when we go for the H-4 stamping.
Thanks!

If the petition is filed as a COS H1, then USCIS should approve it with an attached I-94 unless there are any doubts in which case, it still approves it but without an I-94 and sends a cable to your home country visa consulate where you would have to go and get the visa stamped before Oct 1st and come back to start working...

1) I think what he meant was to take part in the democratic process in the country that you live in. You cannot take part in the democratic process of your native land if you don't live there now can you?
2) I think he means the risk of loosing the GC status and getting deported. Not losing the citizenship of the original country is not the issue. He is emphasizing on the vulnerability.
Not great reasons for some...
Q 1: What if one's native country is also a democracy?
Q 2: If one is already a citizen of democratic country other than US and same scenario will happen then one's kids will not have revoked citizenship (That other country's) as well if one decides to maintain his/her original citizenship ...

I checked my 140 status, H1 Extn status. I am positive that you can do for labor also.
Nope you cannot do it. Only if you have account to login in the PERM system.you can check the status.

Wow!!! I wish I could have attended this mesmarizing rally experience. Now can you guys come up with more data on who (Rally member) met who (Law makers / Media Persons ) and how those meetings were and what opinions you heard at least verbally. What we could successfully conveyed particularly to law makers etc...
While we need to collate all the lawmaker meetings data, PLEASE DO NOT post any meeting details on the forum. We do not want to make any of the confidential data public.
We shall let you all know how we wish to collect the information.
Thank You.

hey white boy...help me get my GC..so that i can take ur job and u can go flip burgers !
Hi PointlessWait,
The three events we will be walking/running as a Team are about getting our organization's name out in the open. This can help increase membership and further financial support for IV. By getting our name out there, we are sure to encounter more legal immigrants who may not be aware of IV as a resource. Thus introducing them to IV and providing them with a support network for their future immigration issues.
I have introduced this concept to several of my friends all of whom are US Citizens and each of them support legal immigrants who are here in the US working honest, legal jobs. Each of them have already promised that they will join Team IV and support the fundraising of $300 per Individual Member to support IV's longterm lobbying efforts.
IV has had some very significant successes over the past year and your continued support via Team IV can help with IV's long term goals.
I hope you will join us in this campaign!:)
Thanks,
NolaIndian

If you think any fraud is going on or there is a law being misused you must complain to USCIS and Ombudsman. Unless it is reported nobody in a position of power will know about it and nothing will be done to stop it.
I will try to explain the process it takes to get qualified for EB1C.
You will need to be outside USA for an year working as an Executive or manager. Come back to USA in that role. So the appropriate visa will be L1A. Most Indian companies require atleast 5-6 years of experience before they look at your resume for a manager. Most of the managers now a days get fired if their targets are not met in couple of quarters. So staying in that position for couple of years it self is a big deal. Now they need to prove the candiate valid for L1A position. Face a visa interview and come here and start working. Even if the same company is sponsering the L1A. Compaines usually wait for an year or two before they file I140. This application wll rot in CIS queue for long enough before they get a decision and GC.
This is the actual process.. If some company works in an apartment in India with one man show and tries to get an L1A, I am not sure if they will get through and get a VISA??? It is quite common that we have more EB1Cs becos, the number of Desi companies have grown. So if you think you are experienced and want to give a shot, try it. These kind of complaints in a longer run will bite us by delaying the applications and building backlogs..
I think it has become a standard process after any visa bulletin. We try to fight on EB2/EB3 or India vs. ROW or AP in India vs. rest of India. This time it happened to be EB1 vs. rest of EB..
The system is already screwed.. Lets not add more delays.. If we want to complain, lets complain about the root cause of the problem.. i.e. CIS wasted visas that caused these backlogs..
Just ask your self a question, if you were given GC tomorrow will you care who comes next or how one comes here??? Atleast I won't. There is a whole department paid to do this job..
