I got my receipts by mail on monday and checks cashed last friday. But my wifes did not clear yet. any one in similar situation please post.
My one set of checks cleared last friday & other set yet to be cleared. That might be for me or wife, no idea. So I'm waiting.
How are you so sure that your case checks were cashed & not your wife's just curious.
Thanks

Getting sick of this movement in dates.
Illegal guy in US makes more money & without any hassle.
Trying to stay legally hurts very much for the past 9 years.
Atleast they should allow to pre-file I-485 so that atleast guys like me (when we missed july 2007 race) can just file and complete the verification process in I-485.
Are you saying illegals are smart? Or smart poeple are here illegally?

I resonate the feelings of all on this forum, God bless you and your family, these are some thoughts coming to my mind... all might not be feasible in your case so take what you think might help the current situation and make an informed decision.
- Find an "good" immigration lawyer, most immigration lawyers are very community minded, they might also help you without any fees.
- There is a huge fiji community in US I am talking about well established business people (especially in automobile industry) who can help in applying a H1 visa for your wife as a backup and also meet local politicians, and take an infopass appointment to know what really happens to such cases like yours.
- Since you are a Indian Citizen you can go to India for a second opinion if you prefer to, there are great Doctors who studied in US and went back to start their own clinics. Canada is another country who gives free health care and have a shorter immigration process.
- Life in India will also be less expensive if you decide to live there with your savings of 8 years, you might want to look into India's policy on Fiji citizen immigration if your wife/children are Fiji citizens.
- I am sure you must have looked into cancer survivor stories, stem cell research, marrow transplant, blood transfusion and treatment options.
- Last but not least, concentrate on getting better - fight back, also look into your life insurance options, property papers and write a Will.
God Bless you from what i can understand you are a fighter dealing with health issues, Fiji immigration issues and US immigration issues I am sure you will post a message here at a later date that how you survived and this whole thing will be just a bad episode in your life which came and went away.

Let me ask you a question.
When you renew EAD what will be the start date. For example:
Lets say current EAD Expires 12/31/2007.
I apply for renewal in July say 07/01/2007.
When I get the new EAD would it start from 12/31/2007 to 12/31/2008 or sometime in July/August/September when it gets approved?
Basically would the renewal date start from where the current one is expiring or from the dat it got approved?
Thanks
I have observed whichever is later
Meaning your current EAD valid till 12-31-2007 and approval is before then starting date is 01-01-2008
If approval date is after 12-31-2007 then starting date is approval date.
I could not understand from sirinme the below -
As long as you applied for renewal you should able to work - that is what i was told from my attorney
"I did have trouble with AC21 once. I ended up having a gap between my 2nd and 3rd EADs (so did my wife too), as we tried to do too much 'optimization' of EADs. Well, we learned the hard way that 'optimization' effort is bad, as both of us had to stop working during the gap. It's not a very pleasant feeling having to explain our respective employers that we had such issue. We lost money too, as we couldn't be legally paid during the gap - in addition to the unnecessary stress. I wish USCIS issues EADs with longer validity period - something like 3 years (but I once heard Aman say that they couldn't do so due to a software glitch in their system!!). In any case, we are now filing for EAD renewals well in advance of the current one's expiry."

Too bad you did not bother reading up on the net before you took your job. I researched what is involved prior to leaving grad school and I knew it was a long wait. Like I said quota is there because of numbers / diversity. US needs programmers from more than just one country.
And its not really a quota since numbers are rolled at the end of the year to oversubscribed countries. Your notion of separate queues derives from your ignorance of how immigration works. Why hasn't anyone challenged the quota in the Supreme Court ?
Maybe we will. If community comes together. Lawsuit requires lot of money. There is a saying in India that a wise man should never climb the steps of the court, however; after repeated insults and discriminations he becomes unwise. And good that you read the rules, but you said something like grad school? Was it US grad school? Dont you know criterion and intention on F1 is to go back? I came here on H1 directly. At that time, I was too young and naive to see the sandtraps. You cant blame for someone falling in a well disguised hole.

Only if it is too restrictive. this case is pretty straightforward and simple. employee is directly hitting the employer's revenues.
I am not hitting on employers revenues, infact employer made money since two yrs because of me. The reason is, employer never got this project for me. It never had any business either with PF or with the client earlier. It was only because of my contact with the PF i got the project. i introduced the PF to my employer, have them sign a contract and since these two yrs my employer was able to place 4-5 consultants through the PF i introduced to them. Now tell me, how much my employer would have made because of me or other consultants??? Even after all this, he is being mean to me. these desi companies thirst for money is never ending. whereas consulatnts can never look up for a better life!!!!!!

I have read in these forumns that USCIS wasted around 11,000 visas in 2007. The way things go, they will waste another 10,000 visas during this year also.
Stopping this wastage should be our #1 priority. But nobody seems to care about this point. Even Murthy during her discussions with USCIS does not seem to be talking about this wastage. I wonder she is even aware of this problem. May be the lawyers are very happy to extend EAD for each of us for eternity.
As per murthy bulletin, EB3 India might become unavailable or will stay where it is.. If i interpret correctly. Looks like EB3 will remain the same. Very disappointing.

It's very selfish of rsharma....shameful!
I've applied in EB-3 in 2006 but was unable to port my PD because I was not aware of the fact that you need an approved 140 for porting. I've changed my jobs in Dec 2006 and now applied in EB-2 in 2008 with my current company.
I don't mind waiting longer (it's been 11 years) if EB-3 folks are porting to EB-2 because they've gained the necessary experience and have every right to get their GC just like EB-2 folks. Let's not try to tear each other down.
Good luck to all of us!

That's the reason I said if we at least get 1000 members then we can ask core members and get their help. members should seriously think if they can make it before they saying yes.. I think even Friday option works as member can take long weekend and spend weekend in DC. We will also get to know all IV members.
What do you say?
I recommend a Monday to a Friday. Most of the media/office folks will take friday off as well like you and me. Media will be fresh on monday and people will get good E fares to fly out into DC on Saturday and fly out on Monday night/Tuesday early morning (if at all some one comes out of town). Also forget the 1000 number. We can have a good impact if we have 300+ members and families. When you put a poll out there, have 2 options for sure
a) I will come to DC on any day at any cost to attend this rally.
b) I want to come but I dont know how it will work out, when the day comes.

Good morning.
Yes, I am. That would be a very smart thing to do.
Honestly, I don't see why NumbersUSA would use our information to develop a counter attack. What we want is straightforward and should be straightforward. Everyone knows who are the senators who listen to our lobbysts. Don't worry with that. Trying to fight against the desire of the American people and sneak in provisions on our behalf is not working. If NumbersUSA is comprised of 200,000+ very active members, chances are they will demolish us every time if we try to go against their desire. This is not like passing the 80's amnesty anymore. The Internet out there has proven to be a very powerful democratic tool on this. If you add provisions there such as temporary increase in visa numbers (enough to take the GC applicants veterans out of this mess) and similar modest proposals which do not increase the number of greencard significantly and coordinate with NumbersUSA, then we may succeed. Believe me I called IV members when this organization was created to explain this, but no one gets it. Persuading certain lawmakers to come up with the proposals on our behalf is the easy part. AILA has been doing this for a long time anyway. As long as you have the money and connections to do so. I am not taking the IV merit away. I do give them credit for organizing the structure and collecting the resources. However, this is not about credits or discredits. Think about it and figure out who actually blocked S.2611/1934 last year. Hint:It was not lawmakers. Note that we should try to come up with provisions enough to minimize the greencard waiting times, not making the priority current for everyone, although that would be obviously ideal.
It is a reality that you don't like to hear:The American people, in a way represented by NumbersUSA, are the bosses on this. Trying to fight against is really hard. You need to gain their sympathy instead.
Regards,
The Ombudsman

Are folks on this thread suggesting we contact (communicate our plans to !!!) numbersusa? They are not going to listen to us, I can guarantee you that --- even if we tone down our demands! They might use our plans to develop a more effective strategy for themselves; they hate us from the bottom of their hearts. This is the most ridiculous and impractical thing I've heard in a while.

My wife and I received similar emails (Card production ordered). I just posted in a diff thread. Our 10-yr wait is over.
PD - Nov 2004
I-140 - approved 03/05
I-485 - RD - 08/07, ND - 10/03
CP ordered - 08/08
(one year and one day since we applied for AOS)
I got an email today from USCIS stating this
Current Status: Card production ordered.
I did not receive any other approval notice. I hope this means that our 485 is approved and the cards have been ordered ?
My PD Is May 2003

LEGAL AND STUCK IN - 7 YRS. ILLEGAL AND SNUCK IN - 7 MINS. CHOOSE!
It is a fact that EB3 India is a FORGOTTEN category. There appears to be a sense of intra-category elitism within the larger community that comes together at IV. EB3 I's make feeble attempts to be heard and some take a shot at innovative marketing campaigns to call attention to the plight of being stuck for over 6 ot 7 years in some cases. EB2 I's immediately respond with a self protectionist attitude and preach a higher calling that focuses on comprehensive solutions instead of piecemeal solutions. EB1 I's obviously choose to remain outside the fray, since these are matter of concern to vox populi, not them.
Some EB2's and EB3's then analyse the hell out of USCIS logic, to the extent that they could become full time spin meisters for ANY public organization. With very little fact, a healthy dose of opinion and a mish mash of 'logic', they piece together their 'strong' arguments -one way or the other.
Lost in this useless din of irrelevant analysis paralysis is the real misery of thousands of EB3 I's (such as myself) that have been stuck for years for no fault of ours. By the way, I happen to be a highly educated (for those that care) Executive that went to Top Private Universities in the US that happens to be stuck in EB3 ONLY because the company HR rep and lawyer at the time, chose to go down this path. POint being, there is no reason for EB2 I's to pontificate from a sense of elitist protectionism because there are EB3 I's like me that can outsmart a bunch of you in no time. Seriously. (This is for those that preach that if you are 'smart' you should be in EB2. Go read those threads).
So bottomline, let us stop behaving like CIS vs Anti CIS camps and instead UNITE towards the common cause. Let EB3I's air their frustrations. If you can come to help, do so. If not, stay out of it completely. No more half ass 'logic', please.
Thanks!

Sorry to hear this.
I think if there is a genuine reason , may be the 485 can be expedited.
1 Could you call up the IO and ask them what to do ?
2 Meanwhile check wiith ur lawyer.
I feel its better for ur wife to go back to the home country ..
May be u too can go now itself and have a good time for the next 6 months.

Yeah! Its common sense dude! Lets keep the 50USD in pocket when one has job rather than contributing to a cause that might help keep the job or makes voice heard when a bad bill comes out.. Choice is yours and your friends. If you/your friends are expecting a GC because you paid 50$ towards this effort, I dont know what to tell. If you/your freinds are expecting to hold xyz accountable for every single penny of the donation, that is not the attitude that will bring US together.
Ask your friends to understand the word lobbying and advocacy efforts. How much work it takes to hire a firm and get strategic advise? How much a firm that advises strategically and positions the issue strategically charges per hr? If an IT consultant is charged at the rate of 100-200USD by a big consulting company, Imagine how much would a consultant such as these people on the hill charge? I dont know but I wont be surprised if its north of 500USD an hr.
With out IV, The only two things folks on the hill knew were illegal immigration and H1B visa. Now more than 75% offices know the EB issue inside out and have a position on it. This is an effort that needs to be continued until we get a solution.
"What is the action plan for FUTURE"?
Relief from Retrgoression. Continued advocacy efforts. is it that difficult to know? I dont know but it seemed obvious to me.
Please see my answers in BOLD. Please do not assume I am mad to put in BOLD. This is just to make my point more VISIBLE.

YOU GOT US WRONG.
THEIR POINT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME. THEY ARE WILLING TO SPEND MONEY, AND DO KNOW THE COSTS INVOLVED.
THEY ARE SPENDING CLOSE TO $5000.00 EVERY YEAR FOR 1 YEAR HI-b EXTENSIONS, VISA RENEWALS, EADs extn, APART FROM THE STRESS AND PAIN DUE TO THESE BACKLOGS.We cannot put a number on the pain this has created.
THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT $10, $50 OR $100. THEY ARE READY TO SPEND EVEN $5000.00 AS I FELT, BUT THEY WANT TO SEE THE ACTION PLAN. YOU CANNOT SAY I WILL WAIT AND WAIT AND THEN WHEN WE NEED TO, WE WILL START A CAMPAIGN AND THAT IN SHORT NOTICE WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THAT MONEY. WE UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT OUR QUESTION IS WHAT DID WE DO IN LAST NEARLY 2 YEARS APART FROM VOICING IN 07 FIASCO.
With out IV, The only two things folks on the hill knew were illegal immigration and H1B visa. Now more than 75% offices know the EB issue inside out and have a position on it. This is an effort that needs to be continued until we get a solution.
WE UNDERSTAND AND WE WANT TO MAKE IV VERY STRONGER TOO. WE DID RESEARCH MANY SITES AND FINALLY NOTED IV IS ONE OF THE BEST WHERE SO MANY PARTICIPATE (READ AS "GIVE IDEAS, BUT NO ACTION") ALL THE TIME. WE DIDNT SEE ANY OTHER SITE WITH THIS MUCH PARTICIPATION AND HENCE WE WANT TO STICK TO THIS AND COLLABORATE HERE.
"What is the action plan for FUTURE"?
Relief from Retrgoression. Continued advocacy efforts. is it that difficult to know? I dont know but it seemed obvious to me.
WRONG. "RELIEF FROM RETROGRESSION" IS NOT THE ACTION PLAN, THATS ONE OF THE END RESULT. WE NEED TO KNOW ACTION PLAN. LOOK AT THE CURRENT STATE OF HOUSING. WE EXPECT A CAMPAIGN TO TOUCH THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO SEND THE MESSAGE HOW WE CAN HELP IN HOUSING, JOBS. WE OFCORS DO NOT SUPPORT WE GO THEIR WITH IMMIGRATION BANNER AT THIS TIME FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. DONT YOU THINK OBAMA KNOWS IT. NOW DONT COME BACK WITH 20% DOWN PAYMENT. WE NEED TO TELL THEM HOW WE CAN CONTRIBUTE.
YOU ARE A PHD HOLDER, OR YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO HAS EXPERTISE IN SOMETHING AND CAN CREATE A JOBS. THATS WHAT THE GOVT WANTS TO HEAR. AND HERE YOU ARE NOT EVEN WISPERING..
AGAIN "RELIEF FROM RETRO" IS JUST ONE OF THE THINGS WE WILL BE FIGHTING FOR,. THERE ARE MANY OTHER ISSUES AND FOR THAT ALSO WE NEED TO CONTRIBUTE IN MUCH SMALLER AMOUNTS EVEN AFTER OUR ISSUING ARE FIXED. THATS COMMUNITY.
Finally one question to ALL.
If we see a good action plan from IV Core and a date, how much are you willing to contribute.I am now ready to do $2000.00 instead of $500.00 as I said before. I am not very well-off to do this much (my friends are, though). But this looks to be nothing when compared to the loss many faced waiting 5-10- years. So I will do.
Feel free. Remember how it feels like if you get it. and dont forget how much you are spending now for different immigration related issues. How much are you ready to contribute to IV.
Ask your friends to understand the word lobbying and advocacy efforts. How much work it takes to hire a firm and get strategic advise? How much a firm that advises strategically and positions the issue strategically charges per hr? If an IT consultant is charged at the rate of 100-200USD by a big consulting company, Imagine how much would a consultant such as these people on the hill charge? I dont know but I wont be surprised if its north of 500USD an hr.
With out IV, The only two things folks on the hill knew were illegal immigration and H1B visa. Now more than 75% offices know the EB issue inside out and have a position on it. This is an effort that needs to be continued until we get a solution.

Please see my answers in BOLD. Please do not assume I am mad to put in BOLD. This is just to make my point more VISIBLE.
Yeah! Its common sense dude! Lets keep the 50USD in pocket when one has job rather than contributing to a cause that might help keep the job or makes voice heard when a bad bill comes out.. Choice is yours and your friends. If you/your friends are expecting a GC because you paid 50$ towards this effort, I dont know what to tell. If you/your freinds are expecting to hold xyz accountable for every single penny of the donation, that is not the attitude that will bring US together.

YOU GOT US WRONG.
THEIR POINT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME. THEY ARE WILLING TO SPEND MONEY, AND DO KNOW THE COSTS INVOLVED.
THEY ARE SPENDING CLOSE TO $5000.00 EVERY YEAR FOR 1 YEAR HI-b EXTENSIONS, VISA RENEWALS, EADs extn, APART FROM THE STRESS AND PAIN DUE TO THESE BACKLOGS.We cannot put a number on the pain this has created.
THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT $10, $50 OR $100. THEY ARE READY TO SPEND EVEN $5000.00 AS I FELT, BUT THEY WANT TO SEE THE ACTION PLAN. YOU CANNOT SAY I WILL WAIT AND WAIT AND THEN WHEN WE NEED TO, WE WILL START A CAMPAIGN AND THAT IN SHORT NOTICE WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THAT MONEY. WE UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT OUR QUESTION IS WHAT DID WE DO IN LAST NEARLY 2 YEARS APART FROM VOICING IN 07 FIASCO.

Marty,
Is it necessary to apply for SIN and Medical at this point since we are not settling in Canada for atleast few months?
Yes, get the SIN number no matter if you are settling in canada now or never.
