We have 8000+ members but only 200+ contributed. I have been thinking about it and here is one possible answer. If you look at the poll result about whether we should push for 485 or not, there are about 280 guys supporting this goal. Maybe almost all recurring contributions are from this group. :confused:

According to my attorney 2 things
1. You just need the receipts to travel not the Ap approval perse.
2. If your H1B petition is still valid, you are OK, if you notice the botton part of your petition is your original I94, so you are covered with that.
3. according to my attorney CIS will take 45 days for the RD to deliver the I797 notice to you home, so if you applied the last days of July, by the 3rd week of September you will receive the I797 notice.
As note my attorney was president of the AILA last year and her husband work in the CIS, so some how the info is trustable.
Good Luck

Please help me. There is no LUD on my status online. I had my finger printing done on sept 19. CODE 3. For both my husband and me!! I don't see any updates on the status online. Can someone tell me what I should do? FBI says they sent the prints the same day!!!!
Am I stuck in Name check already?? How do you know this?????
I called customer care USCIS, they say they don't have information regarding finger prints and you don't see updates regarding fingerprinting online. Is this true?
PLEASE HELP. YOUR ADVICE WILL BE VALUABLE TO ME IMMENSELY
OK. If you read my posts I'm in the same boat, no LUD after FP. I called FBI finger print number and verified the results were sent to USCIS the same day. I didn't call USCIS. I was also worried like you about getting stuck in Name check. I joined the Yahoo Name check group and one kind individual answered my question (thanks John). See below.
FP and namecheck are independent.
a)FP checks
your fingerprints against FBI fingerprint
databases and the result comes back within couple
of days (or maybe even one day).
b)fbi namecheck
compares all combinations of your name
against FBI national namecheck program database
(86 million records).
This one comes back faster (they say less
than 6 months) if there are
no hits , but if there is some hit ....then
human person needs to clear all hits by requesting
copy of the paper documents from any /all
of the 250 FBI offices across USA . So this
is time consuming process and some of us have
been waiting for over one year , two years , three
years etc.
the LUD thing has no significance. you cannot
interpret much from lud and it causes
unnecessary anxiety . some people don't get any
luds from receipt date until approval.
try a service request first to find out if your
namecheck is pending .if you get a letter saying
"processing of your 485 is delayed because
investigation into your background remains open"
or something like that , then it means the namecheck
could be pending !

Do you have a better way of increasing contribution?
Anyways anyone can check people's contribution by looking through all the posts made by a user by clicking on "find all posts by user". It is possible but requires little bit of digging.
It does not do any good. In my opinion.

I agree with Bob here, as I've shot with both Nikon D1's and F5's from back in the day, to the latest stuff. I've done the same with Canon through the 90's and the current crop.
I feel like Canon has the upper hand on Nikon currently in both bodies and lenses.
Bob did label his opinion, most likely without thinking about it -- with the IMHO, to avoid attacks as such. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and none of us can 100% say that Canon lenses are better than Nikons.. No one here does bench tests, price comparisions, etc.. It's just field use and preference that determines this.
Back into your corner's fighters! Let's argue about sports or hot women before we waste our time on the merits of macro lenses!
Back to the topic at hand.. I think the Nikon is probably her best bet because of the build quality and apparently the kit lens is pretty damn good. You can pick up the D70 w/o the kit lens for $999 MSRP, which is only $100 over MSRP the 300D. So maybe the first question is, decide if either kit lens is fine for you. Then determine the build quality, and lastly determine which lens system you might want to grow into.
I don't think you can make a bad decision either brand you go with. We can all be happy with that. Competition is good.

Can somebody from Iv admin modify the poll so users can see who has voted what here.
So, obviously, you are not expecting any EB3 I to vote, right?
Or do you want EB3 I also to vote?

If IV core can help us to set these meetings up and also provide suggestions/ideas, I think with 50 participants, we can convey what we want to. If EB2 folks are also joining us, we can seek support from compete America and have representation from them as well.
We should keep this very low profile - meaning:
1. No high demands - shouldn't ask to make EB3 I current in October
2. Shouldn't compare or discuss EB2 I and C
3. Shouldn't complain their (USCIS/DOS) work style or inefficiency.
4. Don't compare us with illegals.
What we should be discussing:
1. Reference to EB3 I 2001 and 2002 cases and possibilities with new VISA flow structure
2. Difficulties in using AC21/EAD to switch jobs
3. Very importantly - how they view EB3 I dates not moving forward in the last few years (besides last july) and what their plans are to address it (besides passing a legislation)
4. To give us some direction in planning for the GC wait - by providing us how many cases are pending with break-down year wise - will indicate that people can make their own decision either to continue GC process or give up and go elsewhere (we will not demand GC but seek information to enable ourselves to make a wiser decision)
5. Their game plan if a legislation does not pass, say, for the next 2 years. Can they make some changes at administration level to help us? Like relax EAD restrictions?
These are not high demands but fair enough questions from aspiring immigrants who are in the queue as long as 8 years!!
We will send letters to President, Immigration sub-committee, DOS and USCIS chief, CHC members either before or immediately after the meeting.
The intention is not to come back with GC for every EB3 I but atleast make a representation and seek some quality information from them. Also, give them the feeling that we may not wait forever.
If these ideas are stupid, my apologies.
I strongly believe nothing like meeting with people in person.
And, if we are doing this, we should do this as early as 1st week of September.
Thoughts?

Here is my situation, someone please suggest me:
I am using EAD to work for my GC sponsoring company and I got laid off. My HR says that they are going to inform USCIS that I am no longer working for them. HR also says that they won’t cancel my approved I-140 and going to rehire me once I get the new project.
My question:
When I joined them there is information to USCIS.I just filled I-9 form and gave it to the company, no information to USCIS. Now when I got terminated what is the need for the company to inform this to USCIS? Anyhow I am going to join them once I get the new project in couple of months. Is it a new law? Will there be any problem at the POE if travel outside US and come back using AP? Is there any chance that USCIS sends me RFE?
Thanks In Advance

I wonder why your lawyer is asking you to change the number of years. your hiring manager should be the one comming up with Job Description and Justification. May be he already has one and all you need to do is send it over to your lawyer
It's always not the case. My boss sent the request from the atterney about job requirement to me, saying you two work it out. I had to work out requirement that is acturally in favor of me, but not obvious to others. And why are those requirements too. Those requirements are the key. If you didn't get them right, and lots of people applied for the postion, you are in trouble. My HR mageger told me she hates the interviews and making records of them.
Here we have the atterneys who know the law but in most of the case not much or even nothing about the specific job involved. And in the other side the boss who knows the job, but not how to play trick. To work this out, it will involve intense and lengthy back and forth between them. No boss would like that. So you always find yourself doing this.

And did you also hand submitted $19 demand draft for the difference in new and old fee (assuming you filed $131 visa fee before June 4th)?
If yes, then were there any concerns regarding that? Please share.
The company I work for in USA has a India Office.
That office paid the exact NEW fees through HDFC.
They then couriered the HDFC receipts to my home in India.
I arrived in my city.
Went to VFS office, submitted the required doc's.
They created the courier package which is used to send the passport back.
After few days I went to the US consulate as per my scheduled appointment.
I use the VFS lounge service which helps because I had luggage etc.
It was quite a smooth process in Mumbai, except that it took 2 hours of waiting.
My 9:30 appt actually happened at 11:45.....
But yes, there were many many people who had demand draft's in their hand, either of full fees or the difference.....

Its amazing... doesn't law have respect anymore from congress??
When you apply for I-485, one major scrutiny they do is about your status.
They even ask "Have you been out of status in USA for anytime?".
If you were out of status or over visa date(illegal) even for a day, most probably GC applications gets rejected.
Now congress is planning to reward people who were always illegal.
I though politicians are drowning developing countries... but I don't see any difference beiween developing countries and USA now... may be not now but after few years they will at same level. Politicians are same everywhere..

Very Good Research. I just gave you Green.
Since there was talk of the HR 5882 being taken up in two months time in a lame duck session, I thought it might be helpful to have this on this page.
Source = http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/lameduck.htm
Lame Duck Sessions of the U.S. Congress
Once rare, now commonplace
By Robert Longley, About.com
Lame duck sessions of the U.S. Congress happen in even numbered years when Congress has to reconvene following the November general election to take care of unfinished legislation. Some lawmakers who return for this session lost their bids for reelection and will not be in the next Congress. Hence, they are informally called "lame duck" members participating in a "lame duck" session.
The possibility of lame duck sessions of Congress began in 1935, when the 20th Amendment1 to the U.S. Constitution2 took effect. Under this amendment, ratified in 1933, regular sessions of Congress begin on January 3 of each year, unless Congress passes a law in the previous session changing the date. Also, the terms of members begin and end on January 3 of odd-numbered years. Under these arrangements, any meeting of Congress between election day in an even-numbered year and the following January 3 is considered a lame duck session.
Why lame duck sessions are bad
Lame duck sessions are never desirable. Defeated lame duck lawmakers, knowing they will not have jobs in the new Congress, either tend to "just go through the motions" while debating and voting on remaining important legislation or, in worse cases, attempt to hinder or even damage the lawmaking process. On the state level, the legislatures of only 11 states even allow lame duck sessions.
By far the most dismal scenario for a lame duck session is whenever one of the two major political parties has taken away majority control of one or both houses of Congress from the other party, as happened after the 2006 mid-term election, when the Democrats won control of both the House and Senate from the Republicans. In these instances, with political tempers already running hot, the temptation for lame duck members to vent their frustrations by working to stall good bills, while turning bad bills into worse laws, becomes even greater.
Why lame duck sessions happen
Once rare, lame duck sessions have become all too common. The final days of the 109th Congress in November and December of 2006 became the 16th lame duck session since 1940.
The typical "target" date for the annual adjournment of each session of Congress is during the first week in October. The target adjournment date has become a total myth in recent years. The first session of the 109th Congress, for example, did not achieve final adjournment until Dec. 22, 2005.
During far too many recent years, the main reason for lame duck sessions has been Congress' failure to complete its work on the spending, or "appropriations" bills that form the basis of the annual federal budget. By law, the federal budget process3, including passage of the spending bills, begins the first Monday in February of each year and should be concluded by October 1st, the start of the federal government's Federal Fiscal Year. Failing to pass the spending bill by October 1, Congress is compelled to pass "continuing resolutions4," legislation that allows the government operate temporarily without an approved budget at the previous year's spending levels.
Lame duck sessions: some bad, some not so bad
Some sessions are not particularly productive, often because of political disputes and the difficulties of reaching legislative decisions in a post-election environment. In 1982 and 2002, for example, Congress returned after the November election in part to complete work on most of the spending bills. In each case, it failed to do so and the new Congress had to enact large continuing resolutions to fund government operations for the fiscal year already in progress.
Other lame duck sessions, such as the one held in 1980, have been more productive. On that occasion, Congress approved budget resolution and reconciliation measures, five regular appropriations bills and a continuing resolution, an Alaska lands bill, a landmark environmental cleanup "superfund" bill, a measure extending revenue sharing, a revision of military pay and other benefits, and a bill changing the appointment power of the Senate President pro tempore.

kpchal2 & seekerofpeace - I have run out of ideas now.
While we wait for October 1st (assuming visa numbers are over), what can be done in the next 13 days?
I am checking with different attorneys, and might change from my current attorney as he is totally useless. He opened a SR for me, and everytime I call him, he tells me to wait for 30 days.
I have taken Infopass, met the local senator, opened SR and nothing worked. Any ideas on what can be done next?
I went through this last year in August and September. Nothing happened, instead I got a reply in October (by that time my PD was not current), telling me that my PD was not current. They entirely ignored what I had expressed. Nothing can be done to bring results in 13 days. In any case, visas may have already exhausted, however, new visas will be available in October, so there is some hope.
Why cases seemingly work in random?
(i) Work is given out in lots. For example cases 1-100 are given to A, and 101-200 to B. Both begin to work at the same time. Cases 101 gets processed much earlier than case 100. It is possible that by the time case 90 is touched, all visas are gone, so cases 91-100 are left high and dry.
(ii) Receipt date is controvercial. Centers don't care when USCIS got your case. Each center cares when they (the centers) got the case. So for them, receive date is when the center received (which means opened and entered) your case. That's why true receive date is close to ND.
(iii) IO working on a lot suddenly falls sick, and goes away leaving his lot at his desk. Visas are used by other IO's
(iv) A file slipped out to behind the desk, and the case remains pending for a very long time.
(v)...
While we wait for October 1st (assuming visa numbers are over), what can be done in the next 13 days?
I am checking with different attorneys, and might change from my current attorney as he is totally useless. He opened a SR for me, and everytime I call him, he tells me to wait for 30 days.
I have taken Infopass, met the local senator, opened SR and nothing worked. Any ideas on what can be done next?
I went through this last year in August and September. Nothing happened, instead I got a reply in October (by that time my PD was not current), telling me that my PD was not current. They entirely ignored what I had expressed. Nothing can be done to bring results in 13 days. In any case, visas may have already exhausted, however, new visas will be available in October, so there is some hope.

Thanks. One question, I may not have asked it properly:

Yes. GC is always for future employment.
What I had (mis-) understood till date was: there were 2 ways for employment based GC: 1) if I was outside US all along, and the employer applied my employment based GC for future employment, and 2) if I was working in US for the employer and he applied for my EB2 GC based on the job that I was offered and was working on.
I understood that I was in the (2) category, and was wondering if my employer could switch my GC processing (Labor/I-140 approved) to the (1) type. Is this possible?
I might have got mixed up with the Consular Processing vs AoS, but from what I read, those terms would really come into picture only after the 485 stage, isn't it?

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,
