too tired to celebrate...but hopeful that something might yet happen that will do something with the retrogression. hubby is already complaining that he reached the top in his senior position and there is no more professional growth for him, so the ability to file I-485 (if it happenes) would be a golden one for both of us... he would not feel so chained by his employer and I will finally say goodbuy to this wretched H4 status.
Will see where things move in the near future and hope for the best..

Commercial airlines fly between 25,000 ft and 40,000 ft. Airlines generally take risks for profits. I know it. Some airlines like United are ultra sensitive to turbulence. Some fly right through turbulence. And sometimes I feel some pilots are plain incompetent, they have no control over aircraft during the storm.
I have personally taken 500+ flights, almost 2 every week. And I can say, I get really nervous when turbulence or strong clouds are present. You are one second away from the big one. Always always wear seat belt during turbulence, if it gets severe, you will hit the head on the ceiling. The turbulence during take off and landing is usually more risky as aircraft is closer to ground and can not afford to lose altitude. If it is at a higher altitude, aircraft can lose some altitude, due to "air pockets" and still be ok.
yes, i do understand that. I still donot understand why fly into a "thunderstorm"!

Cute responses to serious issues from presidential candidates when they are trying to get elected should be evaluated with a few grains of salt. These are mere sound bites for general media consumption.

Nobody is talking because that suffering period and criteria and reasons all over. Nowonwards you will see the effects of what happened in 2002-2004.EB3-I the slowest in the group is at Oct 2001. So Forget Apr 2001.
o.k..I read some of your old posts (but not thorougly) and I was confused (I guess you have done lot of research) - so can you explain again ?
in yr opinion - does it mean EB3(I) won't go back to april 2001 ?
I guess by "what happened in 2002 - 2004" - you mean lawyers filed most cases in EB3 ..am I right ?
would appreciate yr reply ..Thanks !!

OK. loud and clear Desi :D
Now, I have provided the reference to part of AC21 law with my interpretation, which allows visa portability (unofficially known as transfer) from one sponsor to another and excempt from numeric limits.
All I hear is "incorrect", "wrong" followed by individual interpretation or opinion. I respect all disagreement part, Which may be/not be accurate. Why don't you quantify your comments with references to law or CIS memo? Don't you think discussion need to be healthy and fair?
Now, I have a lot of filthy and rediculous offensive messages on the discussion threads with reds, which I would not like to post in public. If this is what our anonymous so called "highly skilled" can bring to the table, then I am speachless.
gapala,
This thread is not a discussion thread. OP asked a question. We need to provide him a precise and satisfactory answer. There is no point in confusing him with endless discussion.
His situation is very simple. There is no question of out of status here to begin with. OP knows this very well. Many of the people who responded here ( excluding me ) are quite knowledgeable in immigration matters.
When in doubt, always refer lawyer's newsletter/USCIS memos rather than us trying to interpret the law. We are no lawyers.

is bringing a logical explanation to the character of the fence sitters, I-RSVP-But-Do-Not-Show-Up-Nor-Will-I-Inform-
The-Person-Whom-I-RSVP-As-To-Why-I-Am-Unable-
To-Attend-An-Important-Chapter-Event, trolls, timid crowd.........
He is basically saying that some day you will get your GC and Citizenship but will always be Unhappy and searching for something in life. :) :cool::D
"If not now, then NEVER".....
Logiclife made the reference to two sets of people. One who thinks EAD is the end of the road and it is ok to RSVP and not participate thinkers (not all of them though) and second to a completely different group of people who always logs in anonymously who he references as THE LURKERS ON THIS SITE WHO WILL NEVER REGISTER OR DO ANYTHING AT ALL.
Logiclife uses the word cowards only for
THE LURKERS ON THIS SITE WHO WILL NEVER REGISTER OR DO ANYTHING AT ALL.
We have a tendency to get prejudiced with few postings and never look into the original posting and the spirit behind it as page progresses.
How many times we have organized something but were frustrated by lack of support from people around us.. including our loved ones sometimes.
Now considering the sacrifices and efforts that needhelp did, isn't it appropriate to let her know if there is any change in plan, just as any accountable team member would do.
I see that a great contributor "AMMA" has come out openly about her inability to come though she had always the right intention in making it. She had made efforts, put posters in organizing it but she could not make it. She should have told needhelp but it slipped. This happens. She apologized to needhelp and this shows tremendous courage, self respect and pride in herself. I salute you 'AMMA'
But how many of those people who said they will come but did not, nor they called/informed had even sent a private note of apology. If they had sent that I am sure needhelp would not have felt so frustrated.
If I defend unprofessional attitude then I am one. If I do not come out openly with my identity in this forum and logs in anonymously, than I am a coward. If I am supposed to contribute but do not then I am a shameful human. If I can't apologize for my inactions than I always will carry the guilt forever. If I am a free-rider knowing I am not supposed to be one than I do not belong to this IV team.
Maybe is better for me along with murthy's or Rajeev's forum. There I do not have to contribute, never be called shameful/coward and my weakness, integrity, self-respect, character, idendity, etc can never be exposed. I can network, gain insight into immigration process, and forever wait for my GC and track from V/Bulletin to AP and whine/complain/criticize/condemn anything and anybody.

Just called USCIS and told her that My application was mailed on Jun 28th and it got delivered on July 02. I also told her that my PD is May 2003 (hence i'm eligible to file in June)..
She told me that since i mailed it in June and this Notice goes into effect in July 02 my application WILL NOT be rejected... She asked me to wait for receipt notice :)
GOING CRAZZZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Anything received on july 2nd is history.it doesn't matter when you sent it.what matters is when USCIS received it.
I spoke to a cust. rep and she did tell me that all apps received on and after july 2nd will be returned. To be sure , she put me through an immigration officer (I am still listening to the music)

It's not a surprise that TheOmbudsman is hated so much here. Guy who refers Bill O'Reilly to support his comments- "It turned out that Bil O'Reilly last night said the same thing." bound to get this reaction!! Bill O'Reilly himself said he is second most hated person in US during the interview with Mr. President!!
Looks like TheOmbudsman following his footsteps to become No.1!!

I think we can wait till Aug 15th for I-140 receipt and if we don't get that (:( :mad: :confused: ) then we can file I-485 with the mailroom instructions from the FAQ (:) :) )
I don't recomened to wait until Aug 15th...since there may be postal delays/package missings, etc.,...very recently happend to me with UPS overnight (aqfter 3days of investigation - tjhey simply said package is missing)....so guys consider some factor of safety time...i would suggest don't want more than Aug 10th.....

Lately the members of IV have come to know that Aman Kapoor, the co-founder of IV has sold his house and spent around $64000/- towards the administrative costs of IV. This too was brought to our attention from a regular member like you and me, without which this would not have come to our knowledge at all.
So some of the members have taken an initiative to reimburse Aman and other core IV team members with the expenses they have incurred so far towards the administrative costs of IV. Note that the time they have spent and the sufferings cannot be compensated. Let us do the least by atleast compensating the money. Please do not donate directly to IV funds.
There is a funding drive in this other thread towards reimbursing the administrative costs of IV.

Could you please pledge an amount ?

I hope you understand that Bigtime's post was thickly laced with sarcasm.
I admire your courage to stand up and apologise. I wish you all the best, and I hope they lift the ban. You are the type of people we need. Be positive, there is a line for green cards and I didn't know people can jump the line. I need to concurrently file so I can get an EAD. I've been sitting at home for several years as a dependent. And after that I will stand in line with the rest for a green card. All the best and I hope to see you again. Pls don't make this your last posting

I agree. The PD for Oct' Bulletin will probably somewhere in mid-end of 2003 and i don't think it'll ever go back to Current .... So what happens to all the 2006,2007 applications ???
EB3/ PD May 2003
If that's the case, why DOS made it unavailable? It could have maintained same June 2007 bulletin for rest of the year right? - Never understand, how their brain works? :confused:

But then again - there are lot of rules that doesn't make sense. I feel that it is better to spend energy to get them amended..
if you could make a difference then take your pick from ....
a) ban EB3-Eb2 porting
b) or EB1 abuse
c) or eliminate country quota
d) or recapture the visa
e) or don't count dependents in EB category.
f) or abuse by body shop consutling firms
g) or Automatic GC or citizen after x years........
h) ..... list goes on..
.. if all could be done @ same time - it would be perfect..
The officials at DHS/USCIS read your message and all your wishes are granted.
but in reality your comment is not going to help.
We need money honey. Open your mind and wallet.:D

Under the Fees section, it stated that if you filed your I485 on or after July 2007, and you paid the I485 fees, then no fees is required. Does that mean that I don't have to pay for the $305 for my advanced parole?
My I485 was received sept 2007, and I paid for the I485 fees, offcourse. This is something that I'm not too sure.
The filers who ever filed in July 2007 to August 15 2007 need to pay Advance parole money also.

Again what is the point in moving to Canada just because you are tired in waiting here. Are you going to do the same job in Canada. If yes, I would do that here.
For me, only person who could move to Canada is:
1. Way better career jump.
2. Do not have wavery mind of coming back to US. If happens come back, but do not start with that as you will not lead happy life.
3. Keep the GC processing alive in US.
I think Canada might be a good option for some ppl. Here are some reasons:
You move to canada, have greater flexibility to change jobs, your wife gets to work, in the meanwhile your employer lets the GC process continue. This way, you live a free life until you get a GC. But I seriously doubt if any employer will continue to process GC if you leave the country.
Or you have waited long enough and are too tired to wait any longer. You would rather be elsewhere. In this case it doesn't matter where you go, Canada or back home.
Another good reason can be that you have waited for 8-10 years in US and have no hope in sight. You are not tired but you can clearly see that the wait is completely futile and you are just hoping. You have decided to stop waiting but still want something that's close to US standards. And I think canada still comes very close to good standards.
What do you guys think?

Piyushpan, you are restating what I said and putting in extra things. All 3 categories need an immigrant petition. The advanced STEM degree + 3 years people need "special labor cert" if their grad degrees are not from the US. Please re-read what I wrote earlier.
Are you STEM exempt? if so, is your advanced degree from the US? If yes, you may not need labor cert. But remember, I am not an expert. Get a lawyer's advice.
Hi stucklabor,
That was a good analysis.
So to summarize what you are saying is the following(as per Frist's bill)
1 People who have advanced degrees and are presently working can apply for adjustment of status(I-485) even if they don;t have a labor or a pending I-140 but they will be subject to quota to get the final approval.
2Secondly for people who are presently studying and doing their MS they can directly apply for I-485 if they have a US job offer within one year after graduation but they will be subject to quota as well
3Thirdly there is the category which has MS/Phd and 3 yrs of related exp.
For this category they can directly apply for I-485 and no quota issues either.
My question is for all these 3 categories can you really directly apply for I-140 and I485 concurrently or do you have to have a certified labor certification or pending I-140 at the time of enact ment of the bill.
I am asking because i have an approved perm labor and I-140 and waiting to file for I-485..but my company is not doing well so i may have to restart the process all over again in the new company i join.But if i have to file only I-140 and I-485 to get the GC in new company and if this bill becomes law then that would be amazing as i don;t have to go through the labor cert process anymore..
Can you confirm what i'm interpreting is correct?
