Did you have to get it in advance or did you get it on arrival?
No visa required with GC. But, since I only had my AP, they asked me to get a Mexican visa ($36). The above rule must be new (no visas needed with non-immigrant US visas).

Kufloyd: Did you also see a change in LUD on your spouse's (assuming you filed for dependent) I-485?
The reason i ask that question is that i am exactly in same boat as you are. Case was transferred back and forth between NSC and CSC and it's finally pending at NSC and i saw a soft LUD on my I-485 today, but no change on my wife's I-485. Do don't know, if there's a pattern to it?
I didn't file a dependent 485...
By the way, how do you tell a soft LUD from a "hard" LUD?

Hello everyone. I was following the "IV in the News" Thread and I saw something that may be the reason why the layman thinks IV is an "Indian Organization".
DISCLAIMER:
1) Now b4 everyone jumps down my throat, i want to mention that i KNOW how hard IV core and supporting members have worked to get these articles into the media and I MORE MORE than appreciate that fact.
2) I am not trying to play "seperatist" here (as in Indians v/s Non Indians).
Now for the facts. I was going through the articles one by one and I compiled a list of articles matched up with a list of names. I have posted first names only.
NBC Nightly News: Thurs March 30 -> Shiva
Philadelphia Inquirer, Apr 8, 2006 -> Nozer, Kartik, Shreyas, Srikanth
News & Observer, Apr 12, 2006 -> Sarath
Washington Post -> Aman & Shilpa
Fox News Wkend Live 1:15 EST -> Aman
Austin American Statesman front page, May 8, 2006 -> Nilesh, Ashwini, Pratik
Diversity Inc, May 13 2006 -> Aman, Jitendra
Tulsa World, May 23 2006 -> Salil
MSNBC, May 22 2006 -> Aman
World Journal News, May 27 2006 -> Chinese News article but also mentions the IV is started by Indians.
Baltimore Sun Headlines, May 30 2006 -> Raj, Bharati, Shilpa
This list includes my name as well. If we observe carefully, almost all these articles have only Indians speaking out in the media. I know that these articles come up on the spot and the media team sometimes has only a few hours to report a candidate to the reporter. Also i know that a lot of these interviews were done by the core memebers themselves on the spot.
All I am saying is that if more such articles are done in future, can we have the Non-Indian members also step up and contact the IV core/media team coz this would truly lend a "multi-cultural" look to IV. The lay-person american does not know what IV is comprised of. With them What u see is what u get. They see Indians in the media and on the news speaking out about the Immigration wait times and they think IV is an Indian organization.
This is a request to both the core team and the non-indian active IV members to please step up and co-ordinate future (such) events so that multi-cultural faces can be seen in the media as well as when we go to meet the Congressmen.
Once again, no disrespect meant to either the core/media team or to the non-indians on this forum. I hope people can see my point. (I am an Indian citizen myself). If efforts in this direction are already being taken, i apologise in advance.
One point of mention. I read the article "Valley News, May 21 2006" & I saw people of a lot of nationalities speaking out about the Green Card process. That was really good to see.

What happens to an employee at any company who has done something positive but has been caught abusing his colleagues a few times. He gets warned by HR first and then gets fired right.
We have lot of things to focus on to get relief for our community and there is no reason to tolerate this behaviour towards fellow members.
what abt all the positive remakes given..??

Interesting...looks like this bill is moving faster than we'd think...it would be interesting to see where it ends up. Also, it appears that this bill does not talk about giving the DV visas to existing EB-X categories but instead to create a new EB category for STEM graduates...not sure, but that's what it sounds like.
"In simple English, the bill would eliminate the annual green card lottery and give the 55,000 green cards each year to foreign-born graduates of U.S. universities with advanced degrees in the sciences or in medicine.
With the employment-based second preference category (EB-2) backlogged for many years for persons born in India and mainland China, our country would benefit greatly if 55,000 more green cards were available annually for highly-educated people."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
However the bill would also benefit EB3, as the numbers will roll down from EB2. Not a bad deal, as it would reduce everyone's stress.

Should there not be a separate Green card quota for anyone with a USA Masters Degree in any field?
If USA does that, more people will pay to come to study in USA. Not go to Australia, UK etc to study. So more money to USA. And USA degree holders will be able to use this education and work in USA to improve USA economy. If they go back to their countries, then USA has brain drain.
If they have separate quota for H1, separate H1B quota for Masters Degrees, what is wrong to have one for Green Card?
Please support on this thread if you agree.
My support for those with PhD but not for MS at this point.

I have created several documents and am working on a similar one as outlined below. But we need 50 people working on such items instead of one.
We have lots of ideas pouring into threads here but most are soon forgotten and not followed up on.
gc_peshwa has created a googlegroup to deal with participating on USCIS calls etc. We can add this agenda to that group to prevent creation of too many googlegroups and spreading ourselves thin. Alternatively we have a "Media" googlegroup as well which is dormant. That group could be used for this purpose.
We see a lot of these articles every day praising illegal immigration. How about creating a google group with volunteers that will pick up such similar articels and post a rebuttal, either online or through another website?
The one we discussed yesterday was about how illegals contribute to the economy by paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals.
This was estimated from the 2010 Census data.
We could initially post these rebuttals online on probably a section of the IV website and also send it to other news sites.
People who are good at parsing excel/MDB, csv sheets will be useful.
Most people are not aware of our issues and contributions to society.

Besides not signing this so called contract
If you are H1 - as long as you are an employee - the employer has to pay the salary as per H1 papers, whatever be the business issues. If that be the case they can be reported as a violator.
Non solicitation clause should state a time frame - but otherwise most contracts have them
And as long as this is a new or potential employer - its a nice red flag to stay out
Yes, I am in concensus too of the above statements.

I vaguely remember a discussion several months ago on the forum about people that have gone back to their home countries after having waited for their green cards.
We have a media interview opportunity and need to find such examples. I remember an instance about a person going back to Bombay after he had immigration issues. He had set up his company there. Such people who could have helped US economy and growth will make a compelling story.
Pls. let me know urgently of any such cases and I will follow it up. This is required today and we have a short time window.
I know a fellow countryman of mine who left but did not go back home. He is now in the UK on the HSMP (Highly Skilled Migrant Program). What information do you need? I may have to contact him for his approval, so let me know.

Employees should be particularly wary of having their adjustment applications handled by the employer�s attorneys. If there is a dispute between the employer and employee, as when the employee terminates employment and moves on, there is an inherent conflict of interest. The attorney may continue to represent both side, but only if the conflict is disclosed and explained, and both sides explicitly consent to waive the conflict.
Similarly, the employer�s attorney must provide the employee with complete copies of everything filed in connection with the employee�s application for adjustment of status. This application is personal to the employee and has nothing to do with the employer. If the employer�s attorney files the employee�s adjustment application, he or she is acting on behalf of the employee and owes the employee a fiduciary duty of loyalty. If the CIS issues a request for evidence (RFE) or notice of intent to deny (NOID), the attorney must act in the best interests of the employee if he or she undertakes to respond.
Unfortunately, many employer attorneys see their first loyalty to the employer and not to the employee. If you are uncomfortable having your employer�s attorney represent you, you have the right to change lawyers and retain someone on your own.

Has anyone considered the implications of identity theft, fraud etc if the USCIS does start returning the adjustment of status applications? When my daughter applied for adjustment of status a couple of years ago her application was rejected erroneously and returned to her. When she opened the package, it not only contained her information, but also someone else's highly confidential and personal documents. The documents were completely mixed in with hers - all out of order - and even the other person's check was returned to her. The person's case was also very time sensitive and of an extremely confidential nature.
We gathered up the information and personally returned it the local USCIS office - who told us it happens all the time! We sent a letter to the person concerned telling him what had happened and advising him to contact the office immediately.
Imagine what might happen if the USCIS starts returning the 1000's of July applications. There is a good possibility they could mix up applications, return them to wrong addresses or lose valuable paperwork. They certainly won't return applications via Fedex or UPS - they'll just throw them in the mail without any way to track them.
Many green card applicants, have social security numbers and have been working for years to build good a credit history. Anyone getting hold of these packages will have access to all personal history, addresses and of course the bank account information on the checks sent to pay the application fees. Just a thought . . .

Team,
I am in eb3 with priority date jan/2007 and working with EAD and 485 pending.
my sponsered employer willing to promote me with my position and i was having thought of filing a new case in eb2 and port my eb3 priority date. my company has different sister company working in different areas, can I file my eb2 application from other sister company not from the company where my eb3 is filed?
Also I have 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca plus 10 plus years of experience. I wanted to know if you know anybody who filed eb2 with 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca? according to my research i may have trouble at 140 stage?
if my eb2 gets denied, what happens to my eb3 case?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Matt.
Its tough at I-140. But you wont have any issues with EB3
