Yes that is correct
Thanks to everyone that has been calling.
It was all because of IV member's effort :
- calling offices that was done in the last couple of weeks,
- state chapter members formed groups and visited DC,
- state chapter members went to local lawmaker offices. We had a national conference call for all state chapter members before we started this campaign.
- IV core lobbied hard over the past several months when these bills were in the works and are continuing to lobby for these bills.
calling, faxing, meeting, writing letters ... everything works.
Meeting works best.
It is all a question of how much you are willing to invest in this effort.
Digital signatures are just digital signatures. Anonymous letters are good for trash cans. Writing and calling lawmaker office is very helpful. In person meetings with staff are more valuable. In person meeting with the lawmaker himself is invaluable. Getting your employer to contact your local lawmaker office and also write about this is invaluable. Forming a group of people/actively participating as a state chapter and then going to a lawmaker office to lobby is invaluable.
So ultimately it all depends on how badly you want your own greencard and how much you value this effort. If the effort a person wants to do is only an online petition with digital signatures, then such effort is not even worth wasting time on. It will only make anti immigrants happy.
And no action is done haphazardly. We try to organize the effort. We just dont post our plans fully on the public forums. State chapters are more organized than forums and state chapters and their leaders have access to more information. If anyone wants to help us organize us better, please join us and help us. State chapter is just a start. we need everyone's expertise in organizing this effort better than what it is.

If possible taken an infopass appt. They might be able to tell you the correct status of your appln.
BTW: Does any one know how long does it take for a decision to be made on an application once it has been pre-adjudicated and assiged to an IO?:confused:
To Can2004, kubmilegagc, adobe howm, sriswam, MerciesOfInjustices
Seeing your postings gives me hope of getting GC this time.
Irritated with the lack of transparency and pathetic Customer service.
Created SR :- std reply blah blah.. under review..wait for 60 days.
Twice talked to IO :- First time response.. we are working on your case..
second response :- As per our info on my screen, it is not yet assigned to IO and neither pre-adjudicated. One person says one thing and another says another thing. I do not know what screen they are looking and how they are pulling info. What is the point of puting CSR if they have half baked info or worse no info on where the case is.
Have infopass appt late next week. Guess another garbage collecton day..:-)

I'm sure there are some intelligent and caring lawmakers somewhere who listen to legal immigrants' plight. They don't seem to be in enough or meaningful numbers. Most are interested in either keeping their seats or serving a subsection of their community.
Again, I believe they are moved mostly by lobbyists and other power groups. I don't yet fully understand how much power IV can wield, but IV could be one such group.
Lawmakers care about high-skilled immigrants only because people like B. Gates, Compete America and such keep lobbying any and all the time.
BTW, I'm not at all short-sighted about this. I'm just more realistic about how things happen in Washington. Need proof: For example, look at the staffers on McCain's campaign. Most are lobbyists. Understanding how democracy works in America and commenting about it is what the real big picture is.
DBCD
Calling does help in many ways. People have to think positive rather than berating an effort.
Based on the original post, I infer that lawmakers won't care if they receive calls from LEGAL Aliens. If that is the logic then why do you think that lawmakers will work on "immigration" bills. After all the "immigration" bills only benefit folks who don't vote immediately. But one of lawmakers duty is to build the next generation America, and "immigration" bills benefit next generation America. People got to understand this fundamental difference and stop being pessimistic about IV efforts.
Directly talking to lawmakers office (through phone or in person) is far more effective than Web faxes and digital signatures.
I just cannot understand how high-skilled folks can be so short sighted, Look at the big picture.

Again, thank you all!
As a matter of fact, I am going back to France for 2 weeks next Sunday.
That's my first time there in 8 years...
I haven't told anybody yet about what happened recently.
They don't even know the whole story. Yes, all those years I had to lie, especially to my parents:I didn't want them to worry about me.
I was always saying: "I am fine, just fine.."
I am waiting for my friends and family to ask me the usual question:
"So, how come you don't have your GC yet? What are you doing?"
Then, I will have something to show them!

We need active participation from members for the action item listed on this thread. CHC member are taking a very hard stand on the 3 bills introduced by Lofgren. If members (esp. constituents) don't call in large numbers and urge the CHC members to support the bills. The 3 bills may not even see the house floor. CHC members want only one immigration bill (CIR), nothing else is accepted.
Please ask u'r friends and colleagues (who are constituents of CHC lawmakers) to participate in this crucial action item.

If IV can outline how it is going to help, that would really make many people come out of the shelves. However, though we talk so much, people are still scared to identify themselves against the employer. However, they may be ready to outline everything against the specific employer as an anonymous person. we got to deal with a situation where people are ready but anonymously. How can we handle this.
A problem very similar to marriage breakups. People do not want to deal with the aftermaths of a breakup but willing to put up with crap from spouse.
GC being tied to employer has created all this situation.
If people are coming forward to complain - IV can help interace with auhorities, media etc..... COntact IV with specific issues.

Hi Priti, thanks for the reply. However my fear is that what you say is not true. I am on my 7th yr extension of H1B and my lawyer has told me that once I apply for 485, I can NOT keep renewing my H1B. That is why he insisted on applying for AP.
Is this information correct? Can someone PLEASE clarify??? :confused:
As far as I know you can extend your H1B by 3 years IF you have your I485 receipt number.Ask your lawyer about this.
well the problem will be that inspite of your 485 pending status..u will not be able to take advantage of EAD. Once you start using EAD your spouse's non-immigrant visa status(H4 status) will become invalid. That means once you work on EAD you will not be able to bring your wife here. As long as you do not work on EAD, you can have both H1(3 years) and EAD. .
If your PD is eb3 India 05 or 06 you dont have anything to worry about for at least a year or two.

I will be affected since I came to this country through body shop and this affects my I-485.
I think there is a lack of direction as to what we people on H1 can do. We need to unite and fight otherwise we must be ready to go back. I am not ready to go back.
I am donating money for this cause.

Folks,
This is not a financial help/grievance forum to discuss about funds transfer problems, or bank reputation. There are many more places for that purpose. If you cannot find one, start one for yourself.
This forum is meant for discussing US employment based immigration related matters.
If you still have any doubts, click on the "About us" link on top of the web page and dispel your doubts.

Hi Will Win
Don't you think if the EB system here was fixed, IV would have been able to focus on CP ?
We all need to stick together to help each other.
Thanks
There is an even a more direct benefit here I think. If the bills pass, dates move forward for everyone both AOS and CP.

I haven't received the physical H1B approval notice from my attorney yet so I don't know what's the I-94 # on that one although I doubt it will be the same. AFAIK each I-94 number is unique and different. Anyway, I don't think I-94 number itself matters any, just the fact that you have valid, not expired I-94 is sufficient.
I did not fill the forms for the transfer myself (the attorney did) so I don't know for a fact what he entered in "last manner of entry" but I'm 99.99% sure they must have said "Paroled" as they asked for my I-94 that had "paroled" stamp on it to attach with the petition.
Finally, I did not get any RFE.
Hi ssa,
Thanks for your response.
Its good to know that you were able to do a H1B Transfer
even after entering US on Advance Parole.
Followup questions:
1. Is the I-94 # on your New H1B Approval same as the I-94 which you got
when you entered US on Advance Parole?
2. I am sure that your Attorney might have mentioned that last manner of
Entry into US is "Paroled" when he filed for your H1B transfer.
Please confirm this.
3. Finally, did u get any RFE for your H1B Transfer?

First off, any DOL complaint don't need u to be here to continue with the investigation. The way it works is, u tell them ur entire story and leave. They'd take their time to investigate using all the documentation u'd have provided them, and in the end if ur employer was found guilty, they might still let him off the hook giving him a warning. There's really no guarantee that ur employer wud be found at fault unless they find more employees lodge complaints against him. U might be the only one.
Anyhow, u can give it a shot and see what happens as u have nothing to lose. I know that ppl hv tried this b4 without much luck. Employers hire attorneys to save them from such situations. Ur employer closing down shutters is a far fetched thought...just saying...US laws are quite tricky.
H1 transfer at this point may not really work for u as u dont hv paystubs. Sorry, its a bad situation to be in. I understand u paid from ur pockets to come here and it sucks - Good luck!
@Snathan how did you know he didn't call me here , are you one of the consultants yourself who does this filthy work of cheating people.
I guess it was my employers discretion to make me sit home with him just not responding to my mails, i couldn't barge in to his office and say hey give me desk to work on? can i ?
Anyways looking at the LCA agreement i think you don't seem to know what you are talking about, I am here holding his company's name on my H1B form , His agreement on LCA and his employment letter, i dunno if there is any other way i could make inroads into barging into his office?
Now if he puts a security guard against me entering his office, shouldn't i report this to DOL too?

Thanks ak27... based on your suggestion, I have started enquiry on my case through congressman.
I also talked to second level I/O and she told me that it may be due to pending biometrics (what a relief to hear that). She didn't give me any other details so still not sure what's going (no SLUDs yet). I haven't recd any finger print notice since my first one in sep'07 so that kind of makes sense.
I had a infopass appointment today, IO informed me that my fp expired so that may be the reason for not approving I-485. He told me that my application had some activity on July 29. Later I contacted my congressman's office and they informed me that my fp will be refreshed and I dont need to take new fp.

these uscis reps dont even know that the uscis reversed their visa bulletin. all they were told was they will be rejected and that is what they are reiterating. they do not even know that the people at service centers were asked to hold them back. they are just like a bunch of kids who were told
1+1 = 2 but they do not know that 1-1 + 2 = 2 becuase no one ever told them that :-)
