Congratulations to everyone whose dates have become current. To all gurus. I wanted to know as to how does it work when it comes to procesing I - 485, what dates are important is it the filing date, or the Priority date? If two people file at same time with different priority dates who gets priority, one with earlier priority date or one with earlier reciept notice date or will the cases be treated at same level.

I second that. Ranga, from NJ had an idea about making a documentary to project the whole issue
Can we form a Human Chain protest across the major cities of the country at a predefined date and time. for instance, say Nov 9th between 11.AM and 1 PM.
This way more local people, across the country, can participate and as the timing is around lunch hours, I presume many of us can get back to work within the two hour duration.
May be this decentralized & concerted effort in all major cities/states across the country at a specified time may gather main stream media attention.
This is just a thought...

IV core team,
Whats the plan of action given that CIR is dead for now?The best would be to try to attach a small relief like S.1932 in 2005 to some budget appropriations bill.Even SKIL will gather lot of unnecessary attention.Did we spend all our funding on this lost cause and need to contribute again?If so its better to start now as IV got lot of new users.
As I said my numbers are not accurate, there are lot of visas unused since retrogression, we need to take look at this and spent more time researching and contacting right organization

Not from last nights interview, but in primaries season during Politico's live interview on CNN Obama said this about legal immigration:
"It is important that we fix the legal immigration system, because right now we've got a backlog that means years for people to apply legally. What's worse is, we keep on increasing the fees, so that if you've got a hard working immigrant family, they've got to hire a lawyer; they've got to pay thousands of dollars in fees. They just can't afford it. It's discriminatory against people who have good character, but don't have the money. We've got to fix that. "

I was in Indian consulate for renewing the passport. I went there on time and there was a pathetic guy at the entrance who refuse to speak other than hindi. Though I told him that I do not understand hindi, he never listen to that and started his conversation with hindi.
Then comes the worst part. A cab driver went to him and handed over some dollar note and got the token. Then the driver handed over the token to the passenger and left. That guy got into the line well before me and got his work done. @#$K those people.

Look if its comcast or walmart, who cares. The point is, you want IV to do something for our issues. But doing something costs money. You have a problem in giving money. But you continue to ask them to do something. And then blame them for not doing that something for you. Don't you think that's insane behavior?

Hi All,
We should do somehting instead of just waiting for the receipt. I emailed USCIS and NSC today. Please try to send emails to confirm that we can file 485 without i 140 receipt.

Vldrao has all the information anyway, we should pay him 5000 dollars. At least he will have a nice time with 5k. What's the point giving it to the worst possible office in the whole United State of Great America?
Few months ago, Loo Doggs also asked USCIS for similar information. USCIS asked CNN to pay 10k for that. Loo Doggs was mad and his red neck viewers were amused.

Ask yourself a question. If you were running a big business - whom would you prefer -- GC Employees or H1-B Employees.
What may be good for us may not be good for the other side.
Well depends on the job I want to get done. New Internatinal graduates come with less salary, more enthusiam, are hardworking and would go out of their way to get some work done.
In addition to that if I have a constant supply of H1Bs why would I want to spend more money on high salary & more perks if I can train newbies in 6 months.

Also we have seen lot of traffic coming to our site why cant we use that also as some "Contributing" scheme like allowing some commercial notes. Some ppl might laugh at me but atleast our every click might be generating 1Cent to our cause.

Paskal,
Personally, I feel state chapters is a not-working concept. Having bigger chapters like TriState, Midwest... and better still 'East Coast chapter' is a face saver until we have sufficient numbers. There should we a minimum threshold say 40-50 [I'm keeping it low] members to sanction a state chapter.
I question why there should even be a MI chapter, when there are hardly 3-4 (am I exaggerating?) active members and the newsgroup is dead for all purposes? It's depressing and demotivating. We are better off in bigger regional groups until we have sufficient numbers to justify a chapter [ supply to follow demand, and not vice versa].
Right now, active members in not-so-active state chapters feel abandoned. They don't have an active chapter, and active chapters in other states don't want them ( go to your own). For e.g in there was no MI chapter, I would be a member of Midwest chapter or East Coast chapter, adding numbers to those.
they were not formed at the last moment in most cases
what makes you think people participate in those? from personal experience
in the MN chapter, it's hard to even get replies to e mails, forget meetings etc. of late though i'm glad to say the MN chapter has really beugun to pick up again.
ask the tri state guys how much effort they put locally- meetings- fliers- phone calls, all by a handful of volunteers. so all this is good in theory and yes it takes time. but the apathy (even hostility) that was encountered was frightening. ask chanduv23 someday what the tri state guys went through...

can somebody explain the meaning of "processing date for I-485"? For example, the Texas service center has July 17 2007 processing date for I-485 petitions.
How to interpret that?
Thanks.

Very sorry to hear this news. If you have EAD, please use AC21 portability after one more month (after six months of I-485 filing). If your employer gives you severence pay, use it as a pay for a month instead of accepting lumpsum.
Hopefully your I-140 gets approved in the mean-time.

And SOA, if urs is not a labor substitution, u better send another i 140 application along with ur i 485 as concurrent filing. No harm in doing it and u will be safe side.
I think 140 cannot be filed twice as it needs original labor.
So i guess we shud try to send a proof that it was filed and reached uscis on a specific date.

I have got an RFE for 485 application. USCIS is asking me for Employment Letter, Paystubs and W2 for the employer I NEVER worked. (I have typed exact message below)
*
This is my situation-
I worked for 'Employer #1' from Jan-2000 to Jan-2005
Then I started working with 'Employer #2' from Jan-2005 to present. Employer #2 filed my H1/Labor/140/485. I am still working for Employer #2
*
However, I thought of changing job in 2006 and 'Employer X' offered me a job and sponsored my H1 and it got approved too, but I changed my mind and decided to continue with my current employer (Employer #2) and I am still with Employer #2. Please note my latest H1B was sponsored by �Employer X�, but I never worked for this Employer.
*
Please advice-
1) What should I send to USCIS? As I don�t have (can�t get) Employment Letter, Paystubs and W2 for �Employer X�
2) Would you consider this as simple case or complicated?
3) Should I hire attorney? (I self filed my 485 in July-2007)
*
*
This is the exact text - (changed Employer names)
Service records indicate that you were granted an H1-B nonimmigrant worker classification for employment from DEC 11, 2006 to DEC 11, 2009 for �Employer X"-. However, according to the G-325a submitted with your application, you had only worked for "Employer #1" from Jan-2000 to Jan-2005 and for the "Employer #2" from Jan-2005 to the present. Please provide evidence that you were employed with �Employer X". Such evidence may include copies of: employment letter, pay stubs or w2s
Thank you for your time and help.
Your post absolutely doesnt make sense. You are asking us here "485 RFE and USCIS asking paystubs for employer you never worked"
This does not seem to be a 485 RFE but a H1 RFE. Put some sense into the post before posting here and confusing people. How can yours be a 485 RFE when employer X never sponsored your GC and when USCIS is asking paystubs from Employer X for H1 transfer and when your GC is still running with Employer 2. Senseless post.
