IV is the only group that is trying something for EB gc's!!! If you don't agree with IV mission statement - least you can do is SHUT UP! If you have other selfish agenda's take them some place else... don't use IV as a platform to segregate a group.
(In my personal opinion... IV should BAN anyone who suggests anything that breaks this group down! Enough is ENOUGH!)
____________________________
Mission Statement
The mission of Immigration Voice is to organize grassroots efforts and resources to solve several problems in the employment based green card process including (a) delays due to Retrogression (visa number unavailability for certain employment-based categories) (b) delays due to USCIS processing backlogs and (c) delays due to Labor Certification backlogs. We will work to remove these and other flaws by supporting changes to immigration law for high-skilled legal employment-based immigrants. High-skilled legal immigrants strengthen the United States' economy and help maintain American technological superiority.

P.S sorry for the rant - but some of the threads are really disappointing... EB2 vs EB3, Masters vs Non-masters....

Hi Gurus,
I have efiled for my wife's EAD/AP renewal. When I finally submitted, the total payment asked was only $645( 340 for EAD and 305 for AP). But, there is a note stating the following:
"The biometric fee is $80 for applicants ages 14 through 79 who request a Refugee Travel Document or Re-Entry Permit, unless the applicant resides outside the United States at the time of filing their form."
How am I supposed to send this? I was not asked to pay this amount during my efiling of the AP/EAD concurrent filing.
How am I supposed to send this? Can I send it as a separate check for $80 only for the biometric fee( because I had already paid for the EAD/AP using my credit card)
Please advise.
Also, during the AP filing, I got this:
"On a separate piece of paper, please explain how you would qualify for an Advance Parole and what circumstances warrant issuance of Advance Parole. Include copies of any documents you wish considered. (See instructions.) "
What an I supposed write in the document that I am going to send to USCIS?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,

Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?
This is wishful thinking. See the data for 2001-2003 when economy was not that good. We still have backlog from those years.
Country limit is EXCLUDED for employment based visa spill over. Read USCIS policy.
Marphad, Do not count on spillovers. Unless you are in EB2. Even in EB2, there will be few years of wait. If you are EB3, forget about gaining much from spillovers. Country caps, recapture, STEM exemption kind of provisions are the only hope. People need to focus on provisions rather than counting numbers, trackers and making excel sheets. It is a waste of valuable time you can use to do something constructive to alleviate the problem.

NYC is pretty easy, you have to shown your passaport and you get your ID or Licensing driver application. Thank god, but what a mess! I am wondering if we are still welcome in this country, i don`t know any more....
Friends , I was enquiring about Connecticut , but I am pleased to know about all the states.
beppenyc , Do you get your license till I-94 date or beyond it in NYC. Also my wife has the international driving permit , will that help?
Also will it be good idea to collect this info and publish it so that all of us know the rules and regulations of each state , this will help people immensely in situtaions like I am in ?

It's not the "IMHO" or anything... we certainly all are entitled to opinions - "Canon is better than Nikon" "Nikon is better than Canon" "Contax/Carl Zeiss is better than either" "What are you thinking, Minolta has fine glass too" etc. But it is just the "far superior" thing that got me going, because it simply isn't true, while the other statements certainly do have parts of truth to them. I guess some people do treat camera manufactureres with the same kind of "fanboy-ishness" that geeks do to Intel or AMD. ;)
If you are referring to me, as being one of "some people" treating camera manufacturers etc etc as geeks do with Intel or AMD, I reiterate that this was only my opinion as I have had BOTH mfgrs equipment and IN MY HUMBLE OPINION ........and only mine, and for my reasons, Canon is far superior. (as I indicated about the lenses.......Far more...........meaning more in quantity...........and....Superior.........seems this has been proven, at least from my readings. I did not say far superior lenses.
I'm not going to get into some sort of contest and I am not looking for an argument, nor will I return with derogatory retorts.
Hell, I ought to just delete the thread............I don't enjoy misinterpreations or surmising and that's what seems to be here.

As understand the process
1) First one should change the employer with new job.
2) Apply for new Labor (with EB2 requirements) -- PERM 3 months.
3) Apply for new I-140 (use old I-485) -- PREMIUM 1 month.
4) No need to apply for NEW I-485.
Guys, this is the best option for EB3, use it.. with in 4 months you are current... let us port to EB2...no need to wait this VISA bulletin saga.
If my EB3 140 is pending and if when I apply for EB2 140, I dont have the approval, can the interfile be done at the later date?
I am seriously considering porting my date. Any idea how much approx it would cost for the PERM + 140 process (lawyer and USCIS fee)?

I saw this on an anti immigrant site by a M*****r.
Hope some of you will learn a lesson from it and stop posting threads about Telgus, Eb3 vs Eb2.
I have also seen posts by ignorant educated illiterates on IV where they advice people to do illegal things. Some of you own consulting firms or businesses and try to promote it by posting and sending Private messages. If we see such message, let us give reds and report to IV. We also need to discourage people from answering wrong info to posts where someone is illegal/out of status. All this used against us.
They are right to be worried. The L-1 has more restrictions on it than the H-1B, because of a crackdown about 5-6 years ago (if memory serves). They were interpreting ANY IT skill as 'specialized knowledge' that would justify bringing in their folks, then shopping them out to displace ours. Even that notorious traitor, Harris Miller (former head of ITAA) warned them to cut it out, but Hindu hubris prevailed. Until the crackdown. There are two types of L-1 visa, one for managers and one for subject specialists.
One interesting thing: over on Immigration Voice and on any board that allows posts, as soon as we start nailing the problems of the H-1B visa, they start whining, 'what about the L-1' and 'what about the illegals from Mexico' (as in, go worry about them and leave us alone). When the seat gets really hot for them, then the internal ethnic and caste hostilities often start to show. 'It's those gultis' (Andhra Pradeshis), 'It's those gujjus' (Gujaratis), 'It's those greedy Banias' (large merchant class), 'It's the northerners (or southerners)' and so on and so forth.
Another interesting thing: In all the years that I've been watching Immigrationvoice.org, I've seen many situations where an H-1B has fallen out of status. Firing, layoff, botched job switch, etc. In only ONE case have I seen the advice be, "pack your bags." There are a million loopholes that Americans might be outraged to learn about. 8-9 years ago, the average American had no clue about guestworkers visas, but now they know something has gone very wrong in the job market.

A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?

call ur airport, I remember a friend got his I94 extended based on new I797 at the airport.
BTW- if u have an approved I797 and an expired I94, u are not out of status....when u travel next time out of country...keep current docs with u and when u reenter...the POE officer will give u i94 based on ur latest I797..
What I dont understand is when u entered US in may 06, with a I797 of 2010, why didnt the POE officer give u i94 until 2010?

6years( 4 years for labor , almost 2years for I-140) of waiting and $12000 gone to drain.:mad:
That's very sad to hear and its truly very very frustrating. Now is the time you should be thinking more positively and move ahead. Don't look back that would depress you. Its very hard...but you got to move on and don't lose hope.

if you think you can file I-485 with 2 I-140s and USCIS would let you use PD from one and Category from other. THOUGH LEGAL BUT FORGET IT.
DO NOT DO THIS. I TRIED IT AND GOT SCREWED. USCIS DO NOT DO CROSS REFERENCE OF I-140 THOUGH THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO.
The category of I-140 from my previous employer is EB2 and the new PERM i will apply from my new employer will also be in EB2. Just wanted to know if application for I-140 and date porting can go together or i have to wait for new I-140 to get approved inorder to port priority date.
Thanks.

I had discuss this with HR before joining new position...they had no problem with it.

Well - these people get VIP treatment in prison - believe me - they get good food, drinks, entertainment, cell phones, cable tv, reading room and other things. They wont keep VIPs along with pickpockets and robbers.
Most of the VIP frauds actually continue their business operations or start new ventures when in jail and sometimes form new partnerships with like minded VIP frauds who are also in the same prison.
It is a haven for them.
After all the heat goes down and after few years they are released, no one cares - they may either settle in a beach house or continue with another fraud company or maybe enter politics.
