"How long has your case been pending? My case is pending for only one month, not sure if my lawyer and employer will send email for me."
Which case is pending? LC? PERM? ONE MONTHS? Is this a BEC victim?
He is stuck in Atlanta for PERM...PD around April-07...though I feel sorry for Atlanta guys. This guy deserves a ban. Good riddance.

Air India service is not good. My wife runs an online travel agency. Last week one of the customer had to fly for his marriage. When he called air india to reconfirm they said there is no booking, even though he paid the whole money a month before.
Another family while returning from COK-BOM-USA after reaching BOM Air India said only father got the tickets while the kidz doesnt have any booking. The important thing here is that the family had travelled together from USA to India on Air India and the father was very upset. They lost one day at airport and the baggage.
Travel agents in USA dont sell Air India tickets normally because they get poor service from Air India.
Only travel agents make 10-20 as margin and at the end customer is going blame the travel agent or to make any changes it is going to take a hell lot of time. ( Usually it is very difficult )
Travel agents sell Air India ticket only if a customer specifically requests that.

Hi - I have had a very bad experience with Fragomen, everything was filed correctly but the way they treat their client is pathetic. I have heard a lot of people are victims of this big corporation, lets get together to fix this.I had used their service once when i was in L2.They were the attorneys for my wife's corporation and my wifes corp files their visa extension only just before it expires.I was on L2EAD and the safer bet would have been to file atleast with the same petion extension for my ead extension.They charged about 1000 dollars,but i dont know how,i got my new EAD card and receipt notice together.But the L1 extension notices were received after about a week of receipt of ead.EAD was still far ahead of the processing time at vermont service center.
I still doubt filing thru attorneys makes things work out quicker.
My first EAD (used an attorney) in L2 was approved in about 65 days.Extension got approved in less than 20 days.Currently i am on L1 and my wife on l2.I applied online for her EAD and it is almost 80 days .No updates yet.

Thank you all very much for answering my question , I feel much better now.
Just a quick follow up.
I am assuming she can continue to work on her OPT till we get our EAD cards or her H1?
Thanks for your response.
Yes, certainly your wife can apply for I-485, that has nothing to do with your whether your wife is on F-1 or H-1.
Her H,F etc. status continues independently of the Adjustement of Status petition. (Yes she can file even while in F-1 as she is not the primary beneficiary but your dependent for I-485)
Infact as soon as your wife get's her I-485 receipt, she is legally in status even if she loses her F, H etc. status.
Moreover I can say all this since I know someone who is an exact similar situation.

I may not need to tell you this but you are dealing with most greedy, money making machine in US govt. System. This organization churned out 200K EAD last year in 1 week, just so that they don't have to issue 2 years EADs. This org. is rejecting I-485 to get $1000 MTR fees, they will not spare any chance to take money from your pocket. I would say Instead of asking them for the fee waiver and wait 3 months for their 'NO', just give them the 5K and move on...
Requesting a Fee Waiver
To qualify for a fee waiver, a requester must demonstrate that disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations and activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester. Your fee waiver request should include a detailed justification to support your claim of public interest. Your justification must also include how the information will be provided and distributed to the public.

Thanks for writing. Supposing everything goes smoothly, what is on average the time frame to get to the stage where you get a PD. I'm not looking for miracles to get GC through nobel prize or gold medal. Just trying to have an idea here. Take it easy on a the poor man bro :)
If there was much advice we could give about expediting the process, there would be very few people on this board, unfortunately!
Even those who are just eligible to file for the last stage, its likely to take years longer on average.
Other than suggesting you win a Nobel prize, win an Olympic gold medal, or select the country of your birth, there is little feasible that I can say.
The good news is, things could move a lot faster than those of us that are or were stuck in the Backlog Elimination Centers.
Oh - and those talking about the reintroduction of CIR - remember, it also was taking out pretty much all AC21 provisions which will still affect people on EAD

In my opinion, with this global economy - if the spouse is well educated and can work, there should be an opportunity for that person to work (atleast few hours per day).
Excellent point. I think that the heart of the issue is that the immigration system in US is stuck in stone age when the needs of a knowledge driven, global economy are considered. Every visa category denied a job is seen as having an American having a shot at that opportunity. This is a short sighted view: people that can be launching companies etc are sitting and waiting for a decision from an inefficient, ineffective and outdated bureaucracy.
But what do I know? I "knew the rules before I came here" :o

Actually it is normal that PD will go back in year end. So october it should move forward. I think from 2000 to 2003 H1 was increased to 195k and that made the situation worse. Otherwise general waiting time is 3 to 5 years for Eb3 and 1 to 3 years for eb2. In all visas H1,L1 and F1 Indians are topping every year and increase of 20%. And most of the H1s are coming through consultancy companies and successfully surviving here. Obiviously that made gc waiting time too much.Also in India skilled people are increasing because of outsourcing. Infosys is recruiting 25k people in this year alone. May be total 5 lakh to 1million high tech people will be added in India job market this year and that will grow in future. Around 50k to 1 lakh people are expected to come here for student visa this year. Most of them are interested in getting gc. May be around 2 lakh to 3 lakh people are interested to come to USA from India every year. Including families 1 million people are interested in coming to USA.Add other countries. I do not think that much job growth will be there in USA. Interest rates and inflation are going up. May be job growth may slow down. In that case USA govt will see if it is really useful to increase immigration. Of course they need exceptional people. But not lakhes of people every year. We are not seeing big job growth like dot com period. Also anti immigrants are having their own reasons for preventing immigration. I think everything will be stablized with eb3 waiting time 5 years and eb2 2 years in future as lot of people will lose interest

I Feel that what USCIS will do next is not return any application back to sender but DUMP them in some backlog storage room like BEC center and people hAVE TO WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR VB in OCTOBER IN ORDER TO GET RECEIPT NUMBER BASED ON PD AND THEN THEY WILL GET EAD and AP. The only thing is one might save on INCREASE 485 FEES:eek:
I don't think uscis can do that. They can either accept applications or reject them. If they hold the applications for next 3 months, they would violate their long-term procedures and would fear a lawsuit because of that. They know that they are original documents in those applications that can be used once again...god knows when...

Countrywise visa allocation limits contradicts Equal Employment Opportunity law, specially in the presence of the Diversity visa lottery.
I have pledged $1K for the lawsuit, because I believe in this just cause.
.......
Please refer to this link
U.S. Department of Labor - Find It By Topic - Equal Employment Opportunity - Immigration (http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/discrimination/immdisc.htm)
The Immigration and Nationality Act (http://immigrationvoice.org/cgi-bin/leave-dol.asp?exiturl=http://uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/INA.htm&exitTitle=Immigration_and_Nationality_Act&fedpage=yes) prohibits employers (when hiring, discharging, or recruiting or referring for a fee) from discriminating because of national origin against U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and authorized aliens or discriminating because of citizenship status against U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and the following classes of a aliens with work authorization: permanent residents, temporary residents (that is, individuals who have gone through the legalization program), refugees, and asylees.
Equal Employment Opportunity applies only to applicants who are eligible to apply for that job. It does NOT apply to immigrant visa allocation (aka I-485 approval).
If you don't agree with this, I would suggest spending $200 with an attorney to get initial consultation and get the answer to enlighten yourself.

Hi
I am trying to donate $50 but every time I go through the "Donate" link it takes me to paypal site, where it says that the transaction could not be completed.
Did anybody else saw this problem?
Can I simply send the money to donations@immigrationvoice.org? The last time I contributed using paypal this was the email address that the money was sent to, the business member id was 878.
I am not sure why you were getting an error. It is working now.

Hi,
Many posts on this thread suggest that there is no H1B type visa for nurses and so they have to come on only greencard; and that is why Health lobby is trying hard to GRAB 90K unused visas (note: I consider this as a grab because from skill/CIR bills; we are trying to recapture unused visas and make them available to ALL EB immigrants rather than allocating them to one special group). But according to this news item on immigration-law there seems a non-immigrant visa H1C available for nurses. Is this true? am I misreading this?
==========news item follows==================
02/13/2007: DOL Announcement of Processing of H-1C Labor Attestations
The Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Reauthorization Act of 2005 took effect December 20, 2006. The Act reauthorized the H-1C nonimmigrant nurses program, a program originally created by the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999. Under this program, eligible hospitals file attestations with the Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification which, if approved, will support nonimmigrant worker petitions filed with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The Department of Health and Human Services has informed the Office of Foreign Labor Certification that the same hospitals eligible for the original program continue to be eligible. These were listed in the Department of Labor's Interim Final Rule implementing its portion of the H-1C program published on August 22, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 51138). The Employment and Training Administration, under the authority of the new public law, is reinstating the H-1C labor attestation program and is accepting applications by qualified hospitals. Eligible hospitals should be advised that the now-expired OFLC form (ETA 9081), Attestations by Facilities Temporarily Employing H-1C Nonimmigrant Aliens as Registered Nurses, has not been authorized by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for current use. However, the OFLC will accept applications using the expired form until a new form is approved by the OMB. The attestations are made enforceable by the 2005 Act. ETA is in the process of revising the form under the OMB clearance process, and taking other appropriate regulatory action. Once approved by OMB, employers will be required to use only the new form.
