i'll break my word for one last piece of advice for my sensistive friend:
"The very reason why we join this forum so that we can, as whole, say something that may influence the law makers of this country to change the existing laws so that our problem with GC will be resolve."
no lawmaker is bothering to read this silly thread. Please stop dreaming. if you want to influence, go meet them! that remain's iv's official word on the matter too...see the meet the lawmaker campaign. and if you already have...you have my respect, you are too good in that case to waste your time complaining about this stuff.
Probably, that's the reason why most lawmaker ignore us because of these comments. For them, we are aliens. We are not their contituents. And I think these country centric comments makes it worse.

Applied for AP on June 1 at NSC. NO LUD changes till about last week.
I contacted USCIS and had an expedite request put in. Worked with USCIS ombudsman to figure out what was happening. Worked with my State Senator's office to put some heat on USCIS. After all the above efforts, finally got mine & My spouse's AP approved yesterday.(Oct 13). Total of 134 long days since i applied for my AP.
NSC is notorious for being late and lackadaiscal. I advice ppl to step in and take your cases to Ombudsman & Senators. They tend to be lot more helpful than USCIS. Good luck
How do I work with the Ombudsman? And all could you share how you went about getting the help from the Senators office.

How are you trying to locate your record? Do you have your case number handy? Employer details, priority date - all that helped me find mine (rather helped me narrow it down).
I downloaded the 2004 file as you said and searched it, but could not find any information about my labor. Do you think the labor apps processed by backlog centers are in a separate file???

I have been doing the same research for the past one month, here is my experience.
1. Termlife Vs Wholelife.
Term is better than whole life. Instead of going with whole life, you can have Term + Saving account. For example, if you need $500/year for term and $2500/year for whole life. Take the Term insurnace and pay $500/year, open a saving account and deposit $2000/year ($2500 - $500).
2. You can compare the different life insurance with ratings. http://www.term4sale.com/
3. No life insurance for H1 (non-immigrant)
I have talked to WesternSouthern and Metlife agents. WS does not offer Life insurance for H1 but Metlife offer life insurance provided that insured person must be working in the same company for last five years.
4. Insurance here (US) vs India
Term insurance in India is much higher than insurance here. I got the quote here for $500/year but for the same insurance amount, the LIC cost me Rs.80,000.00
5. Hidden items
Make sure, you understand all the hidden item when you take insurance from here(US) or India. If you (owner+beneficiary) take life insurance here, the insured person stays outside the country for long time (more than six weeks) and if the insured person dies then you can't claim.
Thanks,

[QUOTE=morchu;147959]When you use AC21, you mention a new employer, and that is the employer you "intent" to be employed for an infinite period of time, after getting your GC.
are you aware that its not mandatory to file AC21 with USCIS? ( did i miss something here?) I can join the new company and choose to work for them and file AC21 at convenience. If by chance the GC comes through before you file AC21 what happens?
Its all in the interpretation of the law , there is no hard fast rule that you need to stay with the sponsoring company but just an implication to play it safe.

cheers

Here is the "India Thing" again.
Please, if you really love your country go back home. I don't think America really cares if you leave.
There will always H1-B application every year.
I'm not from India.
The question is not whether America cares or not, its just about people (Indians) venting their frustration with the whole GC/retrogression issue.
I am surprised that you care enough to post in this thread, when you are not from India ;)

Here is my recent experience,
in the month of april my wife and I had received RFEs for 325 and birth certificate, we submitted the evidence and there was soft LUDs for almost a week, case status said a decision will be made in 60 days. I t is more than 90 days, so I called up the customer service (I very well know that they can't issue GC as the priority date is not current) I spoke to her as a layman and filed for a service request. Here is the email that I got:
Dear Mr. XXX:
On 07/27/2009 you, or the designated representative shown below, contacted us about your case. Some of the key information given to us at that time was the following:
Caller indicated they are:
-- Applicant or Petitioner
Attorney Name:
-- Information not available
Case type:
-- I485
Filing date:
-- 07/02/2007
Receipt #:
-- LIN-07-XXX-XXXXX
Beneficiary (if you filed for someone else):
-- Information not available
Your USCIS Account Number (A-number):

The status of this service request is:
At your request, we have researched your inquiry regarding your I-485 application. Our records indicate that you are the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition (second preference) and that your priority date is October XX, 2006. There is not currently a visa available to you based upon your country of birth, your employment-based category and your priority date. Your I-485 application cannot be adjudicated until there is a visa available to you. Your case is therefore awaiting visa availability for your category and further review by an Adjudications Officer. We regret any inconvenience to you and sincerely appreciate your patience. We will notify you as soon as a decision regarding your application has been made. In the interim, you may review the status of your application by visiting our website at USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov).

Now this seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel ( not of an incoming train. hope so)
Lets support this bill, there is a website I am trying to remeber the address, I heard while driving on kfyi radio station, where all the bills are listed and people can poll on bills and this will help the lawmakers to find what bill is popular and which one is not.
I'll try to find and post it on the forum, we can poll and support this bill.

I'm also going to do a FOIA request for my I-140 that got approved in Jan 08. Employer is saying its their petition and they wont share it. I'm not going into argument because they revoke it now - The Legal Immigration system is too weak and too much lopsided to a "employer" rather than on the "individual employee"
I know during a PD porting to another AC21 employer this approval notice is sufficient even if the I-140 is revoked but my doubt is if my I-140 gets revoked can i switch to another employer and extend my H1B by 3 more years ??
>> if my I-140 gets revoked can i switch to another employer and extend my H1B by 3 more years ??
No, I-140 must be active in order to extend H1-B beyond 6 years.

I dont think we need to waste our time about such non competent organizations , let them take the credit , it just shows that this was a great idea. Looking at their website it does look like they have some good contacts .
I think immigration voice should write them a formal letter and ask them to publicise this to their "contacts" ..
If they got themselves into this picture well,lets put them to work!

they dont get any certification or any skills but however they want all the benefits/promotion..etc.
In such situation...dont let the situatuion grow..you need to change your gruop/company and remind the manager that they need to stick to rules..be diplomatic.If you are diplomatic and sensible in dealing with such cases..you will come out a winner..
Dont forget to complain to the HR about this person ...as this is a recurring pattern...then they will have a record of the persons behaviour

Are they not supposed to make sure that they have enough senators on their side to pass this bill. Whatever we have won till this point is due to the efforts of core team and people who come to this website using media/campaigns.

Is it possible to do so ? Can we apply for 2nd EAD application even without first one, and having got the receipt notice for first one ? If yes then this is a good solution, but then who knows how long the 2nd one will take to be approved, making it a worthless effort.
It is possible, but what's the point? It will have later receipt date. It is better to file a lawsuit to force the USCIS to issue EAD. It will cost only $350 :)

If you don't take the hunting class, I highly recommend a firearm safety class. Almost all firearm accidents are caused by human error and there are many technicalities you need to know (e.g. what to do if the cartridge malfunctions or fails to fire) to not endanger yourself or those around you.
I recommend going to a nearby firing range and renting some firearms at the range and trying them out. You have a better chance of finding handgun rentals than long-gun rentals. The range will likely only ask for your Driver's license and will make you take a safety exam before they let you loose on the range. The experience at the range will help you determine if firearm ownership is right for you (noise, recoil, etc.). Go with a smaller caliber and a heavier firearm for a more manageable recoil the first time.
Good info. From the pamphlet it is clear that if you have resided in the State where you are buying the handgun for 90 days and intend to make a home in that State AND are in possession of a valid hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the US the you are eligible to purchse a firearm from an FFL to possess in the US.
I checked the GA Department of Wildlife website and you can get a license online for hunting in a matter of few minutes by paying a small fee unless you intend to hunt Deer for which you need to undergo hunting course.

Actually very true. I for one have held off on buying a gun (though my wife highly disapproves of guns) simply because I dont have a GC and dont want any hassles. Besides I live in Chicago which has a ban on guns. Ironic that the maximum killings and drive by shootings happen maybe 30-40 blocks from where I live but the city doesnt allow legal law-abiding residents to own guns.
Maybe we should tell NRA that lot of skilled immigrants will buy guns once they have GCs. That could be the fastest way for us to get some lobbying money. It could work faster then the message on "buying houses".
