We submitted our EAD application in June first week and we got our card this week, effective from last week of July for the next one year.
Our priority date is October 2006- EB2 and we are not current. So shouldnt we have been issued a 2 year EAD?
Also we gave our finger prints last year (July 2007 filer) but this time too both the EAD cards shows no FP available .
The EAD card of my spouse (he is the primary applicant says signature waived) I still have signature on my EAD card. Anyone else with the card that says signature waived. Previous card had his signature in there.
I heard that's the way it should be from Aug 1st... :confused:
Someone advise...

IMO, there could be unfortunate situations for anybody which may seem to be like one will go out-of-status. Best option is go to a good attorney. It is not cheap option but certainly it is best way to get things answered professionally within a specific time period. It will also prevent your case to be wide open on forums for any agency or anti-s to target you. You will also be protected by attorney client confidentiality agreements.
I saw some questions like "I am not working on H1B though I have visa. Or things like "I am not paid on bench. Is that alright". Does it need anybody to confirm that you could be out of status? Quite naive to ask that on forum.
Best option, do not violate any law intentionally. When we take so much care by not even jay-walking, we should be super careful about the immigration laws and statuses.

Dear IVans,
Now that the SEP VB is out, what does this indicate in terms of
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
- awareness about visa wastage
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
- USCIS efficiencies
Pls share your thoughts. Thanks!
We will know for sure after Sep 30. If they don't waste any visas then it is a good sign.
But if they do waste visas, inspite of all the leeway, requests, advise, whatever they have been given, then God help us.

I have a question on this:
I understand that USCIS can raise an RFE anytime even if PD is not current. However, lets say if they raise an RFE for EVL today, and the person is working in same/similar position and replies to the RFE.
Would that mean that USCIS will not raise an RFE again on EVL? What happens if the person changes the job an year after that?

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.

Hello,
So yesterday (Saturday) was another surprize, a pleasant one again! I got a call from the same IO who told me that he got all the documents that I had sent and has cleared my case for approval, but now my fingerprints have expired.
He asked if I could come right away to his office and he could give me an instant fingerprinting appointment in the nearby INS office. When I told him that I'm currently out of country on business trip and won't be back in US till April, he said he will send me an appointment near April 15th.
I thanked him for his follow-up and he said he was just doing his job. I know this might be an exception than a rule, but just wanted to acknowledge this particular IO and hope there are more like him.
Did the IO made a international call (as you said you are out of country) to speak with you? If so how did he get your internation number.

Mr. Vayalar Ravi , Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs,is coming to USA on June 27,2006. He is coming to Washington DC on July 4 to meet Indian Ambassador and Indian community. We should try to meet him personally and explain the problems we are facing. He can talk to US counterparts and do something for us.
Let us organize an event to meet him on July 4. Since It is a holiday, lot of people can meet him and chat with him.
Any comments from IV Core Team ? Can we contact the Indian Ambassador to arrange a meeting with the minister ? is it possible ?
This is a Golden opportunity !
First of all what you want honorable Minister to do. Ask him to talk to US Congress to pass the law so that we get GC faster. Let say he speaks on our behalf. All I see happening is things getting worse rather than getting better. Those who are on the other side of the table will get a point to oppose to those who are supporting us. This is what going to happen. Every provision that is supporting our cause will be opposed by the fact that it has been done under the influence of foreign Government in this case it will be Indian. Organizations like numberusa is vehemently looking for a way to prove that how all pro-immigration provisions are anti-american. So we hand over them the Jackpot.
Whole idea of involving Indian Minister looks to me like small kids involved in a fight seeking help of their parents to get the issues fixed. Here we are not dealing with neighbors kid. Lets grow up..

What if the I-140 is approved, I-485 pending less than 180 days and change of jobs to happen?
In this case, can the employer still revoke the I-140 though it has been approved already?
if you change your employer within 180 days of 485 RD, the employer can revoke your 140 which will invalidate your 485.
After 180 days you can switch using your H-1 too. The EAD is not necessary.

It's hard to believe that US economy will go down if they make some tough rules around H1 B visas or worse cancel H1 B program. I means, we can argue that it might create shortage for skilled works but if US really need some skilled workers, they can get it any time ( Like straight green cards for nurses etc). it’s few trillion dollars economy which won’t go down just because of H1-B visas holders.
We the legals... pay taxes, contribute to this economy by spending earned money here in the US, abide by the rules, carry medical insurance.
We keep doing this, till we get our green cards or till we permanently leave this country. It is a win - win situation.
The strict H1-B rules that are added to this Senate bill will be removed or some work around will be sorted out or else the US economy will go down.
The question now is how confident we are that they will get an amendment to give us some EB visa relief.
The high tech employers have a problem with the new merit based system which is going to take away the reins of holding an employee from them. Employers of other industries have raised their concern against this new system which gives more points to degrees and not skill. This system is also causing a lot of concern among the familiy members here.This system will take a lot of time to kick in.
1) The tech lobbyist can add pressure to give relief to current members in backlog so that they can hire them soon. They know that many skilled people are stuck with their companies because they can't switch due to the GC process.
2) Can add pressure by saying that they need us now and not after 5 years when we get our GC.
3) We need to force them to understand that they should give relief to legals too when they are doing a lot for the illegals.
That is all I think can be possible.

Did anybody went for interview from your company within last 3 years?
It might be that you are the first person from this company appearing for interview and they don't have sufficient employer information.
Also when was your company got acquired?

Funds are really needed but another important thing is to leverage the momentum obtained due to CIR and more recently July Visa fiasco.
I think iV should aggressively focus on recapture of visas, 1 visa per family(Hillary Clinton already supports us on this and we can rope in Zoe loe****
who supported us now) and also removing country based limit.
Momentum is very important and now is the time to restart and I m sure funds ll flow. Removing country based quota is the easiest one to target first.
Cheers

I have written to USCIS director and Chairperson of the immigration sub-committee in the House Zoe Logfren about the plight of EB3-I applicants, I have metioned it is mainly because thousands of 245I(Asylum) people were given Green cards from this category. There should be some kind of relief for us. More people write her or other congressmen/Senators it will get more attention. As far as I know 90% of the Lawmakers doesn't know about 245 I cases...

I like ur idea, can you design this or get someone to do this. It still has to have the same basic principle. we all have ideas we need someone to actually do this since we are mostly IT folks with programming skills can we get a volunteer or a group of volunteer who can do this?
I can work on this over a weekend. However, the contribution information is known only to the core group. So someone in the core group will have to enter contribution info into the database and set up the procedure call to return only the member level and not the contribution amount to shield info.

Hello All -
I am planning to get my PP renewed at the NY consulate and had a couple of questions and I was hoping someone could shed some light on them.
i) The DC website states that one can *only* apply 6 months before expiration date but the NY website does not? Mine is going to expire in ~8 months. Anyone know if it is 6 mo across all consulates?
ii) They have it in big red font that the photograph should be 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm, the US standard PP size is 50 mm * 50 mm .. any ideas where I can get them done in the right dimension?
iii) If applied in person do they issue the PP the same evening?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience esp. at the NY consulate
