We all came here looking for greener pastures. But How many of you think this Country and this Culture is great ? Now think about the Economic Growth - The US is still the most competitive but they are not the Number One anymore.
Or maybe some of us came here precisely for the reasons you mention, seeking greener pastures but fell in love with the openness, informality and the possibilities here :).
A lot of people wait until they get green card and then make a move back home primarily because they are hedging their bets. They hear all those stories about growth and opportunity in India but are not so sure if they will able to fit in after staying away for so many years. Having a green card gives them the opportunity to test the waters so to speak and come back if it does not work out.

Good attitude guys. Its kind of funny to see the eternal optimists play the game again for 4 years since the retrogression has kicked in to kick us out. :) All the best guys!

No matter whether you are in EB2 or EB3, if you lose job then you are going back to stone age. So we are all in the same boat. The only hope is to fix the leak.
Hi,
I see your point. But, that's completely different scenario.....job loss would hit the same way to each and every category, I guess.
What we are talking here is to reduce the EB3I backlog atleast a little bit...may be a year or two behind EB2
Take me for example.I have been waiting for 6 years now...just because of a stupid decision I made at that time to go with EB3 instead of EB2. ( just FYI, like many other EB3 guys, I am very much eligible to apply in EB2 ) I am paying the price now::((( Ofcourse who would have dreamt in 2003 that it would be so bad....and it hurts to see people who have applied at later stages cruise by while we wait watchig the VISA bulletins month after month..and now when I want to port the econom is so bad...everyone is being audited....so dropped that idea as well

raj3078,
Order of processing has nothing to do with PD being current. Now this is not an opinion it is a crystal clear CIS pronounced fact. (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nsccpr.html)
Pre-adjudication where work continues irrespective of visa # availability (where everything else is done except visa # allocation) happens as per the RD of the I-485.
Now even if gc101's I-485 get's pre-adjudicated sometime next year w/o PD being current his I-485 is not "approved" unless visa # is allocated. Now suppose his PD becomes current after his app. is pre-adj., he has very little time to add the spouse name as there is chance like in June that they may quickly assign the visa # and "approve" the file in days.
So gc101 would be safe if his PD becomes current before his file is pre-adj or get's stuck (!) in something like FBI namecheck after pre-adj. which might allow him time to add his wife's name.
My company lawyer addressed this part. The way it works is that they will work on your file only when your PD is current. So even if you apply now, they most likely wont work on it after July as your PD wont be current. Then when next time (say in Jan 2008) when your PD becomes current, they will pick up all the files for that month and start working on it. It might be that they will work on your file on Jan1st or Jan 31st. You can send your wife AOS the moment your PD becomes current. So you want to make sure that it reaches there before they approve your AOS. In case you are extremely unlucky, then they would start working on your file on 1st day of the month and finish it before end of that day, making it impossible for your wife's application to go through. Thats rare though. So if you can make sure that her app reaches on 1st day of the month in which PD is current, then they should most likely add her to your AOS and work on those together and make your life go forward....its a chance which you will be taking...But again life is a chance

Technically it should be your original receipt date , thats means your wife 140 should be processed now but guess what that happens only if TSC finds your wifes file , not sure where the tranfer cases are stored , If they use computer they will definetly find the case but looks like they find the cases by boxes ... I m in the same boat and waiting for 140 approval after transfer to TSC , hope they find our box one day
Thanks for the reply..

I know I am not going to get my GC righ away by attending rallies/meetings and activity's. But there should be an efforts from every one to raise their hand and contribute for the cause. Appreciate the core members and state chapter leaders for your vision and work.
At the same note,I regret for not being at DC after meeting some of the members yesterday.
Before, I have little/no idea of how to approach lawmakers (my idea of meeting lawmakers was like meeting politicians in INDIA, Zindhabad...Zindhabad type), glad i do now :rolleyes:!
Main concern/talk was about not many people turning up with 3000 IV members in the tristate, I strongly believe we can do much better in the number department for the next meeting. Again, not just numbers but with some motivation to take part in the events to come.
I did not like the leaders thanking the members just because they turned up! It should always the other way around, members should thank the leaders for organizing such events. After all it is for ones own benefit, no one is doing a fa�vour to any one!
Come on folks, join ur state chapters.
Good to hear from you sweet23guyin... seems you guys had a ball after I left.. ;-)

But then why do you care to monitor this thread so often? I guess there are hundred other threads that talk about immigration.
Why don't you setup "Just an Indian" forum so other nationals don't need to participate anymore.

Ok , it may not be right thread to discuss everything here... but
What I am saying is, instead of spending N years waiting for GC, I guess we lead better life elsewhere!
Where else, in our home country... but that reminds me of descremenation again!!
So I thought of place which is not in high demand yet... africa...!
I always believe in making things happen, in stead of waiting for someone doing it for me!!
hebbar77,
Firstly, you are making an assumption that everybody here is from India. Secondly, justifying your statement by giving simplified explanation would not suffice. You suggested buying a country in Africa alluding that countries are up for sale which is quite insulting as suggested by an earlier poster.

I never understood this "exploitation thing". This is America...
Exploitation is employer(i.e consulting company) takes 30 - 40% cut from billing from people on H1 but is ready to work on 5-10% commision with people with EAD or GC . (this is no exaggeration talk to EAD/GC guys & you will find many)
If someone is exploiting we all have a choice. We can change employers; go back home, etc.
It may not be a totally open market but it is not like you have handcuffs around you. This type of talk of exploiting, slavery only hurts everyones cause.
Changing employer means start over GC process again unless you have 140. with 140 too many people are not very comfortable switching.

Yes, perhaps people don't post these type of investigations. If you have heard any N-400 issues (from your corporate position) about someone caused by leaving the petitioning employer soon after GC then let us know, otherwise it is one of the rarest of rare issues. My attorney clearly mentioned to me that he has seen no such issues in his long career when someone left the employer soon after.
Coming back to the AC21...if someone changes to a similar job after 180+ days after filing I-485 and informs USCIS of it and then gets a GC, there is no question of any wrongdoing. If USCIS wants to do their audit investigations I wouldn't care an iota about their investigations as long as I have the right paperwork with me.
Secondly in a non-AC21 case even if one leaves the job of the petitioning company immedaitely how does the intent become questionable when the person is working for the same company for several (5+) years. On the contrary it would be easy to prove the intent here.
I'm just curious as to how many postings you see on these boards where a persons case has been denied; DOL/USCIS has visited their home; their visa got cancelled by consultate when h-4 went for stamping; got caught in interview lying; DOL investigating companies, etc...
People do not post these types of issues on immigration forums.

My lawyer filed my I-485 in Texas (Dallas). It was delivered on July 2nd at 10:33 am.
Now I am worried if he filed it at the wrong place. I read online that its ok to file at either TSC or NSC till July 30. Is that correct? Can someone please confirm??
Also will the application now be transferred internally from TSC to NSC???
Any replies will be appreciated!!!

USCIS Ombudsman has released the 2007 Annual Report to Congress at link below. It is an interesting read. I am still reading it. At page 31, the question is posed:
�Exactly how many employment-based green card applications does the agency have pending?� USCIS still cannot answer that question today with certainty."
Also, per the backlog redifinition, the USCIS has about 1.2 million applications (as of March 2007) that it considers active. However, it does not count an additional 1.3 million applications in the backlog that are considered "unripe" cases by the USCIS.
I request the moderators to make this a sticky and if possible put a link on the homepage.

Question gurus... I have a xerox copy of my approved I-140. Will this be enough to port the priority date? or do you need the original copy to be submitted along with the new I-140 application when you request portability of older priority date?? please clarify.
One of the immigration lawyers I talked to said that photocopy should be fine.

P.S: Just to be clear, I am referring to Regular Updates to DONORS i.e CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS
Cant help but chuckle on your choice of words - DONORS = CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS.
So, others who volunteer their time, ideas ... are not CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS if they haven't paid 25 dollars in March ( since DONOR status started from March and 25 dollars is what is required to be a DONOR )
From a person who is in senior management position I'd expected better choices of words.
Now on to your point of more regular updates -- let me ask you this - do you give weekly updates to your subordinates every week ? Do you share your strategy plans every week ? I believe whenever their is a material update to be shared, IV core will share it - predicting the frequency of it OR assuming that you will get an update every X days and see a progress is not a good practical idea.
My apologies to you for my reply here and given your PD and the wait you had been through I can understand sometimes its hard to have any more patience but asking for more regular updates or calling DONORS as the Contributing Members is not going to help us in achieving our objectives.

Hi eager_immi, thank you for your reply. See here is the situation, let's say for very personal reasons, we cannot get married before Sept 2007, then, what are my options?
Thank you,
gc101.
As I understand it correctly, you have a very personal reason for not getting married before Sept 07. I have to say that in that case, go ahead and at least file for your green card, that way you create one more option of applying through family based, even if it means 6-7 years of waiting period. Ideally you would like her to come to states at least for 2-3 business days to get court marriage and filing of docs, but if thats not the case then this is your best option.
