We should all feel proud that many co-sponsors are a result of efforts of IV and its members.When members ask proof of success, this is one of them.
Well done IV for the work so far - but we have to continue this push. Any idea on which other members we should call.
Note: I spoke with a few members to encourage them to call, there seems some confusion in their understanding of which congressmen we should call first. Calling the current co-sponsors may not be necessary but calling other members might still result in adding more co-sponsors (if we are able to convince them).
Friends, October bulletin is out and we are again seeing the retrogession. So forget about the talk that all dates will become current - it wont happen unless there is a change in law and past visa numbers are recaptured. This bill is our biggest and only hope until for atleast another year. Lets do our part and hope for the best (believe me - all it takes is less than an hour of your time).

Contacting Senator seems to be the best option apart from POJ method..if there is some discrepancy from Service Request Response, you can clear that up from POJ method.
That said, even I am waiting for GC approval and needless to say, this wait is more frustrating than the wait before PD was current.
Today got this response from service request.

sledge_hammer - You call me fool, I think you are a #1 "you know what"! And, I am not even going to reply...so write whatever you want to write.
When you buy a home you sign a contract saying you will pay the loan amount at the end of the loan term with interest. There was a commitment made. And you are saying people who walk away without fulfilling their obligation are smart? Fool!
And who do you think is footing the bill for bailing out those banks? its you and me! You are not only dishonest and unethical, you must be really dumb if you think you are not going to be paying for the mistakes of people like punjabi when they "walk away" from their homes. Idiot!

Ok,
I was looking at the bill by Arlen Specter.
Title III Section 312 on page 7 and Title 5 Section 501 on page 8 are definately something to keep an eye out for and channel our efforts in every which way to make sure that stay in the bill and are not thrown out by any committee, subcommitee etc. in House or Senate.
Any thoughts anyone?

Just curious.... When do they do the name check? Is it after the fingerprints are complete??
I just spoke to a USCIS rep who was very helpful. She took the A# of mine and my wife's and verified the status of FBI name check and FP check. My name check is pending with FBI and my wife's was cleared as per her. For both of us the FP check is cleared.
When I asked her when my name check was initiated I was told that it was on Aug 1st 2007. This is approximately 1 week after my 485 notice date. My FP was done on Aug 21st 2007.

- Refilled labor in Jan 2008, Got approved in March 2008
- RFE on previously approved I-140
- Convinced lawyers to file application for I-140 , requesting PD recapturing.
- Got I-140 Approval in Aug 2008
- Filed I-485 in Aug 2008
- FP in Oct 2008
- RFE in Aug 2009
- Contacted Congressman, it was helpful as got to know the exact situation.

- Not sure if this helped or not but called 1-800 number and spoke with level 2 officer and she hinted that I may not have to wait that long ?
- Approval in Sep 2010
Thanks to IV, it was immensely helpful.

So for EB-3 we have 1630 from 01, and 8300 from 02 and 12500 from 03..how long would this take to clear given EB 3 allotment??. every year??.
With horizontal spillover, things don't look good for EB3-I in 2009-2010.
However, 2010-2011 things should be great for EB3-I, as EB2-I & C would be pretty close to current (or) current.

The details escapes me... at some point in the long past I was looking into what kind of questions employers should and shouldn't ask. If I come across anything again then I will surely post.
As far as EAD is concerned, the employers shouldn't discriminate. Especially if more than 90 days are left on it since that's the time-frame govt promises to issue a new EAD. The employer might feel better to work with a citizen or GC or a person of certain ethnic background or national origin. However, thats the kind of decisions the employer is not allowed to make. Employer has to accept EAD, everything else being equal. When the law is not followed and it harms us, we have to fight it back.
I realize employers sometime end up asking questions that they shouldn't like the obvious ones such as age and marital status.
Thats a good point about "at least 90 days validity remaining on EAD".
I am now curious to hear back the response that the original poster got back from CapitolOne.

MY friend just spoke to Lingo, they are coming up a cheaper(may be $1 or $2 cheap) plan with unlimited to India/China and 101 countries and also can be used from a registered cellphone incase you do not have internet for any reason.
So, wait for couple of weeks and then choose the right one.

Hi,
One of my friend is working in L1 on Informatica tool for one of the financial client.
Does it mean that his company is violationg rules?
His company is harrassing much for some personal reason and asking him to come back home country
what action he can take against his company if his company viaolating L1 rules.
Please anyone come across this situation then give us your suggestion.
Appericiate your help in advance
Can somebody reply to my question...?
He can not take any action. If they ask him to go back he has to go back. If informatica is embedded in another s/w which is company copyright then there is no technical violation of L1. Also if the project is administered by his company there is no violation of L1. If it is staff augmentation case, which does not seem to be the case here, then it could be violation of l1.

I was asking for Ideas.. it is not just Kumar or some more people giving an idea that one should leave the house if the value of the house has gone down and now you have to move because of ur job and it is hard selling ur house where u may have to bear a loss ..
I already had conversation with american people ( not any desi's) in my office and they also had the same opinion as to leave a house if u have to leave because of job..
U tell me how wise it is to give a loan to a person without a down payment..The reason i said that other people are stupid is because.. i took an ARM loan of 5 years,, where i knew that i am not going to live in the house for more than 3 years and will later sell it..and there are people who knew that they are going to stay in the same house for more than their ARM period.. but didnt realize that they wont be able to make payment once the rate is re-adjusted.. i am calling those people's decision as stupid..
about me making a bad decision about buying a house.. well not 2 years ago..
i can sell the house for a loss of may be 20,000.. but why should i pay that money from my pocket.. i can keep that in my savings account and use it in my bad time..
Well you seem to have same attitude problem as others in this situation. When people were making profit they were thankful, and now banks/system is there to blame.
Let's see how you are not different from those "stupid" people. Keyword here is "greed". You got greedy and bought house bcoz it will appreciate. People who knew they will be living for more than 5 yrs got ARM bcoz they have to pay less/month(max. leverage), house will appreciate and/or they can refinance when time comes. Do you see any similarity ??? So please stop using derogatory words like "stupid". Banks were lending bcoz they were greedy. All the parties have one thing in common greed.
Ok, coming back to your case. I do not have any experience with foreclosure. From your post it seems like you are losing $20k. Well this does not seem a very big amount. Consider the impact of foreclosure, bad credit will mean you will not get any loan. It will be tough to get auto or any other credit. You carry risk with background checks. I think the lending standards will get tough going forward which means you don't know for how long you will not qualify for home. In my opinion, if you have 20k and it is matter of losing some savings, not going to foreclosure looks better option.
I hope you will learn to own up to your own mistakes, it will only make you better person in life. Good luck.

I have direct responses from Murthy and Rajiv Khanna now . Plus 2 other american lawyers I know. The answers have variations. I'm going to do my own research and would encourage others to do the same before coming to a conclusion on this.
If you have asked this question to your own lawyers about multiple I485 filing, please post them here.
Members can then look at all the information and make their own decisions.
for all those whose lawyers allow multiple filings: what are you filling in for I-485 Part 3 section A "Have you ever before applied for permanent resident status in the U.S"?
In my case both applications are proceeding in parallel and I dont know which lawyer will end up filing first!

I dont think it will affect your GC at all. But it will greatly affect your credit history. That being said....foreclosure probably is the easily viable option when you have a large negative equity & have to sell the house.

ofcourse, all employees are protected against discrimination based on religion, gender etc.,
that was not my point.
I understand that a company CAN refuse to hire someone based on their visa status, such as h1, f1, and that is legal.
But EAD is a different matter. It is not a visa. when the AOS is pending it is like a precursior to a GC and has similar rights or whatever
I was trying to clarify if it is legal to refuse employing someone based on their EAD when their AOS is pending.
