Ok I think we are reaching new heights of RIDICULOUS here. An IV member has asked a SIMPLE question about whether or not an Indian citizen needs a visa for the Bahamas.
Who the heck do we think we are to ask him/her to NOT go on that cruise and instead donate to IV?? People i know that we need to raise money and quickly, but this is really not the way to go about it. Everyone needs a vacation to recharge their batteries and spend quality time with their families. The GC is a "MEANS to the END", NOT "The END". Going by this logic, lets not do anything for the next 2-3 years. Lets not buy houses, cars, furniture etc. Lets instead contribute to IV. Besides what is to say that this person has not contributed to IV already?
Agree with eb3_nepa. Couldn't have said it better. Bullying people is usually not a very effective tool for recruitment.

Singing a country's national anthem and pledging allegiance to it are two different things. Scroll up and read my prev response.
Pride yourself on being a citizen of the world as you do, in normal course you have to be a citizen of at least one country to be able to receive a passport and travel the same world.... :)
As someone else pointed out, this thread is to appreciate the passion with which Pankaj sang the anthem. End of Story.

I did not feel like signing along for two reasons: we are not US citizen yet, and I consider myself citizen of the world and will always be. I do not aspire to become citizen of the United States of America.
Even when Americans sang their national anthem in a church, I felt not right. Churches are not supposed to be linked to states. There should be no country boundary within the Christian world.
There should be no country boundary within the world we want to build either.
By the way, if the United States go to war with your country of birth, who will you side with? Will the United States trust you?

To all Bachelors
1. you can files your I485 and later add your spouse if the dates are current or you have the priority date.
2.You can apply for EAD during I485 and at the same time can be on H1 unless you don't change an employer using EAD.
3.Unless you add your spouse to I485 process..you have to maintain your H1 status as your spouse will be on H4.
4.BY any chance your I485 is approved before adding your spouse(present in US)..you have 180days to apply for your spouse.
5.If your I485 is approved when your spouse in outsite USA..then you have to go for consular processing.
6. No one exactly knows if the PD will remain same or not.
So anyone about to marry or planning to get married,talk to your attornies about your situation and take a decision.
Thanks for the info. I still have a few doubts.
For 1. I will be having the marriage certificate at the time of filing, which will be in July. That time my spouse will be in India, as she will apply for her H4 and then come (latest by August). What I wanted to know is that if my PD is NOV 2006, doesn't that make me current. I know people are saying that visa numbers may not be availabe in Sep, but if all PD are current till June 2007, and if my wife will get my PD, what difference does it make if she files in Aug or Dec 2007. What will happen in Dec that will not let her file I-485. I am meeting my attorney next week, but with the pathetic interview scheduling system, it would be good to know so I can get an earlier date for her.
For 2. If I do change my employer, using my EAD, and if my spouse is in US, what status will that give her. a. If I file her I-485 and b. If I am unable to file her 485, if the visa numbers run out.
For 6. I am still unclear as to how the PD may not remain current. How can a PD go back, if PD is June 2007, doesn't that mean everyone who has approved I-140 till then is automatically current (No matter when they file).
I know others may have similar doubts so posting here. I will post the comments by my attorney as soon as I meet him.

At Dr.Marcel Stern, I got an appointment for June 29th. For kids, the charge is $100, for adults b/w 280-350.
They specifically mentioned that they are no longer entertaining Walk in any more. They used to till 12:00 noon today.
All doctors are swamped.
Yeah... They said after Jun 29th. Did they confirm you just verbally or you got some confirmation number?

While its a good idea to write to the president, Obama himself says he gets 40,000 letters per day, so its a rain drop in the ocean, no offense intended.
We need to do a coordinated strike by all members of the IV
1.Everyone send an email or calls the Congressman's office on a particular date
2.Call or email their senator on a particular date.
3.Write letters to popular TV talk show hosts on a particular week saying legal immigration is ignored in the immigration debate.
4.Send an email to the president on a particular date
5.Organize peaceful rallies in their respective cities on a particular date. This way no one has to pay for traveling in terms of flight tickets or pay for hotels
This has to be organized by PAPPU and TEAM as everyone respects their work and commitment.
PS Don't start of the donate campaign thread now, people will donate once they see action and not just words. Only #5 needs donation for flags, posters etc( even that content can be brought by folks themselves)
For a start, can we all just do one thing: Take an appointment with our local congressman/woman's office and do a presentation. No need to do it on one particular day. Just do it in the next month.
Both ideas are good; coordinated and targeted efforts will get the attention of a few. We need guidance from the IV team on this matter.
phone campaigns/ email campaigns on two days to every senator/congressman
may be getting tv talk show hosts to take up during the same two days

Similar situation...
I am getting married in the 1st week of Sep and am planning to get my spouse by mid Sep.
Can someone please suggest if I am fine, if I apply alone for I-485 around Jul30(and not for EAD and AP??) and add my spouse around sep20th. I-140 approval is pending and have a valid visa till '08.
How long does it take for the I-485 'approval' and is 2-3 months a safe window to add ones spouse?
Any suggestions and help with my planning are greatly appreciated. :)
1) Does one have to be physically present in the US to apply for I-485? Can I send the marriage certificate and any other papers reqd from both of us in Sep 1st week from India (hopefully PD would be current)
2) Is it just the marriage cert that is reqd for filing I-485 together. Assuming I am here and have the marriage cert, can I apply for my spouse even if she is in India.
Thanks.

Situation:
H1b valid until 2010, visa stamp expired.
AP available
Not recieved EAD yet
Can you we go on a cruise to Bahamas?
Also do Indian citizens need visa to Bahamas cruise?
Thanks in advance
I went through this process couple of years back,,,,(not sure if the laws are still the same)
Yes. Indian Citizens need a Bahamas visa to travel (Cruise) to Bahamas.
A Person needs a Valid US Visa or AP to enter back into US.
I went with a valid US Visa. I dropped my old I-94 while leaving US and received a new I-94 while entering US port (in Cruise).
Enjoy your trip to Bahamas!
I hope you will also contribute to IV efforts.

AC21 cannot be used before 180 days. Also the employer may be upset if you take a vacation and do not return. Why not give two-week notice and quit normally? Plus, the new job is contract to hire. To use AC21, the new employment offer has to be permanent, IMHO. Programmer analyst to DBA may not be a big issue. You have to try to make sure your previous employer will not withdraw I-140.

Hello,
In all the stories of INS, USCIS, DHS that I've read here, the lack of visibility, customer service and accountability seem to be the common theme.
However, I was pleasantly surprized by a call from IO a few weeks back in local office asking me for extra documents (Current employment letter as the original one was from 2007, 2007 tax returns and 2007/08 W-2).
He told me that though he had sent a letter, the letter would take a few days to reach and hence he wanted to call me up. He also told me that as my original fingerprints are expiring on 26th Feb, I should send the response as soon as possible to enable him to process the application.
Though I still don't have any extra hope that the application will be processed soon, it was nice to see a change in USCIS approach.
Hope this was not an exception to rule and we see more such behavior from USCIS that helps in clearing us from this awkward limbo situation.
They might thinking to deport you asap!!!!!!!! Just kidding!!! I dont have much hope from these guys. My finger print medical expired last year and I didn't get any letter or call.
Anyway having + Attitude and is good thing.

not offensive at all... in fact i welcome your suggestion.
btw.. i just started meditating today.. really works.
i guess analyzing these incidents is better than calling uscis.. which i am totally itching to do this week (one per week .. within my quota).
Good to see nice welcome gesture from you.
You did not earn red mark...my comments were more on humane side to not worry too much about anything.
You are right, we need to be cautious, lest things go wrong and feel sorry later. You (IV) all are doing great work. I love this site.
I fully agree with you we all are frustrated with this mess, but my idea is...For many things as many can go wrong....there will be equal if not more things turning right.
Off topic...here is a question for you, how does one becomes a member from junior member and so forth.
take care

While no doubt, getting PERM approved is difficult at this time, it's not impossible (I have a few close friends who got them approved recently in EB2 though they had to wait a long time for it) and giving it a shot is well worth it if things work out in OPs favor.
I think ur friends PERM got approved becuase they filed before this economic depression. meaning, when the recruitments efforts were made for your friends case there is not much unemployment and might not have received any resumes. And I believe DOL check when the labor filed.. not current time.. while approving or denying it. So as some one mentioned now its not the case.
