As I had mentioned earlier in this thread - I had received 3 referral credits through IV. (actually I had sent out more invitations - but not everybody accepted/used my invitations).
For this, as I had promised earlier in this thread - I will contribute $75 to IV once I start using these referral credits (which will happen from next month once my own sign up referral bonus runs out).
Two of the three referrals who used my invitation also promised they will contribute $25 to IV for the referral.
To me, this appears to be an acceptable use of the IV message board. Anybody benefitting from IV by getting referrals may want to do the same.
OTOH, I think it is unfair to abuse the IV platform for personal gain. No other respectable message board allows that. Try these referral spam or other trolling activities in fatwallet of SD, and see how fast you get banned for it even though they are explicitly for deal hunting. Online anonymity is a great thing since it masks a trolls true identity. But think again - your identity is not really as secure behind online anonymity as you think unless you are a professional troll and have taken elaborate measures to obfuscate things. Trolling may come back to bite you.
Now, a question for mods - I went in to sign up for another recurring contribution for 3 months for $25 today (in addition to my normal subscription). However, I cant find any option for $25 recurring contribution now.

It may not have any impact on EB3 this year...but once the EB2 is cleared it will have an impact on EB3; may be in a year or two.

Visa mix-up brings flood of flowers in protest
By LEAH RAE
Hundreds of legal immigrants are resorting to a new tactic this week in their pursuit of green cards: sending flowers to the head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The publicity stunt follows lobbying efforts and lawsuits protesting a sudden change in the rules that govern employer-sponsored immigrants. After rushing to submit green-card applications by July 2, the immigrants were told at the last minute to keep waiting.
Notes being delivered to Emilio Gonzalez, head of USCIS, along with the bouquets skip over the pleasantries and speak directly to the bureaucracy.
"Kindly do not return our I-485 petitions in July," the messages say, "and honor the original DOS visa bulletin."
The dispute concerns a U.S. Department of State bulletin from mid-June, dictating who could apply for an immigrant visa. The application is the final hurdle in getting a green card, or permanent residency. Because of a backlog, immigrants spend years waiting their turn, but the unusual June bulletin gave most job-based immigrants the go-ahead to apply.
Jakub Gorecki, who lives in Spring Valley, hurried to get his paperwork together in time. The thick packet of documents - medical exams, vaccination records, a birth certificate from Poland, a $325 application fee - was to arrive July 2 at USCIS, he said.
But that morning, a new bulletin came out, canceling the offer. No applications would be accepted until the new fiscal year in October.
The reversal sent Gorecki and others back to a limbo state.

I had a very smooth H1 stamping experience at US consulate in New Delhi on February 19. Everyone around us (atleast 4-5 people) had "PIMS Found" written on their D-156. We were sent to the premium processing line as I was revalidating the visa through the same employer. I was just asked how long I have worked for my current employer. I received my passport within 2 business days.
I hope this helps!!

Hi RajuSeattle--
You nailed it man. As i said in my post yesterday what you described so well is exactly what happened and so my explanation of just 140 substitution was not accurate.
Please note the response I got from the attorney of my previous employer (the one who revoked)
This is exactly what I previously explained and what XX verified for you. The I-140 was revoked/withdrawn and the labor certification was substituted. If only the I-140 had been revoked/withdrawn then you would still be portable. However, as XX confirmed, the company used the case to substitute another employee.
Clearly the ex-employer and USCIS are at fault. I have the approved I140 and to date on my uscis portfolio it states that my I140 was approved in Feb 2005. I changed jobs in June 2006.
I am so &^^%$#@ tired, that if this does not work....I am going back. Enough is enough.

Theis is the possibility that they revoked your I-140 and used the underlying approved Labor certification for another employee, or if they have any grudge
or for some other reason revoked your approved I-140.
If you were holding an approved I-140 and changed your job after 180 days of filing your I-485, then you have good chances of winning MTR.
Please consult attorney Murthy or Rajeev Khanna. I heard they are good at handling these type of situations.
Make sure you have the valid job in a similar profession as what your labor states and your are in legal status (H1B) with the current employer.
Technically you can not use EAD until they restore your I-485 petition.
Wish you good luck and hope you will have a successful outcome.

My company will only apply for an EAD for the spouse.
For the employee .. they ask that the h1 be extended.
Now in case I am laid off .. this pretty much puts me in the spot.
I've heard that it is possible to apply for EAD on my own.
1. Any idea if this is true and what info is needed to apply for the EAD.
2. Any issues with having both h1 and EAD?
3. Also if my wife is on EAD .. and I get laid off on h1 and am looking for a job .. what happens to her EAD?
4. If my wife is on EAD .. and I get laid off when on EAD and am looking for a job .. what happens to her EAD? And do i need to seek a smilar position in new company .. or anything works?
Thanks

On a more practical note, I would lawyer up, collect evidence, spin up a multi-million dollar lawsuit, and use settlement money to sip MaiTai on some beach in Lanai, while the harasser gets to suck on cock-meat sandwiches in the nearest penitentiary.
C'mon grow a penis!

This is an excellent point. DOS publications claim that PIMS has all the information since 2004. Please mention your approval dates too. There could be a delay pattern pertaining to the approval date.
Anyone with H1B after 2004 has seen any delay???
This forum has provided an incredible amount of information for ignorants like me. Please keep on updating this thread with your experiences and details. Mention your approval dates also.
Thanks
H1b approval notices are for 3 yrs. So most folks who are going for stamping now will have approval dates much after Jan 2005. So DOS claiming that all cases after 2004 is not correct.

Good question. The bill is expected to be on the floor of the Senate and House for debate in Feb-06. Learning from S1932, it is my guess that the soonest bill could be law is 2-3 months. So we may be looking at something like April/May-06. But nothing is for sure at this time. It is possible that the debate may be dragged on till third quarter of 2006. We should start the activity to communicate with the law makers right now and continue to convey the right message if we want anything good to come out of the new bill.
The delay with S-1932 was due to other controvertial issues. As for the immigration provisions, i doubt if any law maker insisted on them being part of the bill. Most of the bickering was about oil drilling and patriot act. This time Patriot act will compete for senate time if it is not resolved by feb. Once the immigration bill is introduced, it should not take more than 2 weeks get it to vote and another week for conference committee.
My Q was even if some law is passed will the uscis wait till oct to implement any proposed changes.
I was curious as to how this works because it might be tough for me to stick with my current company for 1 1/2 years more to get portability.
Ofcourse we will try our best but somethings r not in our hands.

You can withdraw an existing 485 application once you get Receipt No. Just write a letter to USCIS asking them to withdraw your 485 application stating the reason for withdrawl.
If that's true, I hope they also accept the missing inital evidence, that is sent later, as long as the A# is provided.

There will be only 25 - 20k Spill for 2010. Given that India and CHINA Eb2 can cross mid 2006.
It will take another 2 years for Eb2 to make C and then we can see Spill over to Eb3.
If economy improves and we start seeing labor approval coming Spill be going to less and creating more wait time.
Eb3 needs VISA RECAPTURE badly. Eb2 guys can wait for couple of years to get GC. but still 2-3 years in given economy is too risky. Bottom line is WE need VISA RECAPTURE in order to clean all mess.

Finally, we got the approval emails for self & wife.
I had got an email from TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov last friday (09/17/2010) with the update below-
1: The review was complete
2: Visa numbers were requested 2 months ago and all security/prints are current
3: Files have been forwarded to officers for completion.
In my case the email to SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov helped a lot. They in turn sent an email to TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov to step up the processing.
As others have mentioned IV has played a big part throughout this journey. Thank you again.
Congratulations Ski_dude.....I am so happy for you.....I am happy that your agony is over......

I read on the murthy.com website that the UCSIS needs to go through the Kentucky Consular Center to obtain the PIMS verification. The number for the KCC is 606-526-7500. I am going to try and call them to see if they can give me any information on timelines.
For those people that have not left the US yet, it might be worth it to talk to your lawyers and see if there is any way you can have your names added to this database before you travel - that should eliminate any hassles once you leave the country. Much easier to try and do it from there rather than from here.
There is no number to call here to check on status - I have been sending emails to mumbaiNIV@state.gov but have not received any response from them yet. Not really a surprise. If anyone tries the number above and gets some response please let the rest of us know.

Hello axp817
I had soft LUD's yesterday (9/19) on all I-485 applications in my family and on the (July 2007) EAD's for my spouse and me. My PD is May-30 2006, so I'm wondering if they are looking at low-hanging fruit for the next month (or to hang the fruit!)
Did anyone see any Soft LUDs on their 485 or old EADs before their approvals/RFEs?
My PD is June 7 2006, not current. Yesterday, I had a soft LUD on my 485 and my first EAD. These two haven't seen any activity since early 2009, and I'm wondering if this means anything or if I'm reading into this a little too much.
thanks,
