In my view, it is too good to be true. But we have no way to challenge the numbers either. But it is 50% of the entire EB pending cases. Is this document authentic?? I don't see the logo on the letterhead??

Only issue is one of his crowd may mug me in a subway or lonely street, or puncture my tyres, or break my windshield, attack our children... and so on.
.....
We would be better off not wasting our time on him or rebutting his indirect accusations, he is playing to his crowd. We should play to ours.

I was referring to "AC21 Memo" not the "AC21 law".
I agree with your statement that AC21 is a law.
ok, probably you meant memos issued by USCIS for AC-21 implementation.
Would you please explain what you meant by "real memo" when you wrote
AC21 memo is a real memo
I am not aware that there multiple kinds of memos.

Let us all have a rally to move back to our countries on 4July2008 to symbolically show that we want our Freedom and Independence and never return back.
If all the articles about reverse brain drain we are reading about is true they would do something to solve this GC situation. Otherwise the anti-immigrants will come to see us off while we depart this country and never to return back as H1B's trying to get GC's and live here. This will go into history, 30yrs from now and our grandchildren will read about it. And may be we will get some special pension at our home countries for returning back and helping it to do better.
Please take the poll to indicate if you would participate in this QUIT AMERICA MOVEMENT FOR OUR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE
I don't want to discourage you... but sorry i have to say this :D... I really hope you set an example by going back, but your blatantly obvious lack of intellectual acuity will not result in any brain drain... so the net result of you going back would be a simple one i.e one less in the line for GC ;) (not sure if you have dependents - actually not sure if you are waiting for GC)
Good luck with your (perhaps short sited) future endeavors, do keep a log of your journey I will definitely read it :) start a blog... ;)

I also got email from CRIS last night stating that my I-129 has been reopened.
I have a very simple immigration history:
I-129 filed and approved April 2005, petition expires 3/30/2008; only ever worked for this same company.
No H-1B extensions ever filed, no H-1B transfers ever done, no previous history of US immigration prior to April 2005.
Labor, I-140 and I-485 were filed November 2006; I-140 approved February 2007, I-485 approved June 2007, EB2 green card arrived June 2007.
There was a LUD on the I-140, in August, but that was about the same time as a bunch of other people got LUDs on cases starting SRC07... seems like I can disregard that.
There was also a LUD on the I-129 without a status change later in August. No explanation for that was apparent.
And now I get a notice on 10/23/2007 saying that the I-129 has been re-opened and that something will happen within the next 30 days. I'll be sure to keep you all updated if I get anything like an actual I-797 notice through the mail.
Did anyone else get anything on October 23rd?
why bother about I129 if you have a GC ?

Great work IV for making this happen. But I agree with the concerns of backlogged EAD/AP. I think we should work with USCIS towards issuing interim EADs atleast . Else it will take 1-2 years just to get a receipt...That would defeat our purpose.
So what did we acheive? Just moved the backlog from "waiting to file I-485 to waiting for EAD" ? And I am not even talking about getting the GC .Who knows when we will get that?
I don't know if I should be happy or worried :eek: :eek:

Well, I used the pen tool and the circle shape tools (its a lot easier that way because you can drag the circle out from the center.. and you can find the center easily by using guides :) ) and they worked pretty good for me...
But that might be a little advanceced for someone new to photoshop.
Good time to learn though :thumb:

Hi All,
All this memo states is that USCIS will not automatically expedite the FBI name check simply because a writ of mandamus is filed. This memo signaled a national shift in the way USCIS responds to these types of lawsuits.
The U.S. Attorney's Office will now fight the writ of mandamus lawsuit by filing Motions to Dismiss and Motions for Summary Judgment. While this obviously lengthens the time it takes for a case to proceed, it is still very possible to win and force the government to adjudicate the application.
Hope this clears up any confusion,
Justin Fok

Hello,
The frustration that I see here is understandable, but just by being frustrated or by posting here, things do not change.
We are the change that we have been waiting for.
There are many things that IV core is working on (we see the outcomes like pending I-485 stats, notes of explanations on visa bulletins, but fail to recognize the efforts required to reach these key milestones on bringing transparency and fairness to I-140/I-485 process).
But to make IV (or any organization/community) effective, money is critical. What IV needs is not big (you can contribute as low as 25 USD per month - less than the cost of daily coffee - regular, not the fancy lattes!).
IV is nothing more than our collective will to change our situation. And the change starts from me as an individual. What I've come to realize that such change doesn't come by asking others to do something for me. It starts with me doing something, either providing my time/effort/money to the cause that I believe in.
In case of IV, some of us choose to contribute money, some choose to volunteer (hats off to them!), others choose to contribute time, still others do the legwork ... to each his own! Pick your preferred way and start... the success is not guaranteed, but if we don't start, the failure is guaranteed!

Hi,
Which bank offers best interest rate for fixed deposit in india.?
What is treasury bond?? How could we invest in it?
ICICI has some very good interest rates. I like them because they have online access to your account which most of the indian banks don't.

Anytime such discussions come up, invariably a few people jump on board threatening to quit IV. Who are you threatening? Are you helping yourself by quitting the fight to solve your problem?
First of all, I am not threatening to quit IV.
Secondly, even if I quit, its not going to matter to IV.
IV's goal is to fight retrogression. So whoever wants to fight retrogression should stay on board.
Thats why I am here. However, everytime someone talks about giving visa numbers from EB3-ROW to EB-2 India/China as the ONLY freaking thing in the world to do, I have to point it out to them that they are talking taking those visa numbers away from ROW-EB3. And that my friend, is not in the interest of ROW-EB3. Nor does it benefit India-EB3, or China EB-3.
However, it is the privilege of a few affected people to discuss their problems on these threads. You are not obligated to follow these discussions if they are not to your taste. It is a legitimate question.
I also enjoy that very same privilege. We are not here for things that we appeal to our 'taste'. This is not a forum discussing 'Borat'. We are here to talk about our interests as they relate to greencard and retrogression.
Clearly USCIS is using one interpretation of the law while there is another possible one.
Exactly. USCIS is using an interpretation of the law. EB-2 India doesn't like the current interpretation. EB-3 ROW doesn't like the alternate interpretaion. EB-3 India doesn't care. If you can say you don't like the current interpretation, you should be ready to hear form others that they don't like the alternate interpretation.
The discussion here doesn't mean that IV will flip tomorrow and say they will fight for only India/China EB2s.
Thats why I am still here. Thats why ROW-EB3 is here. And thats why India-EB3 and China EB-3 are here.
Here is the current situation, as of Febuary 11th, 2007.
EB-3 ROW : BaselineA
EB-3 India : BaselineB
EB-2 India : BaselineC
We make efforts, and then this happens.
Outcome 1:
EB-3 ROW : BaselineA - DeltaA
EB-3 India : BaselineB
EB-2 India : BaselineC + DeltaA
Clearly, this is not an optimal solution.
IV's goals should be, and to the best of my knowledge, are:
Outcome 2:
EB-3 ROW : BaselineA + DeltaA
EB-3 India : BaselineB + DeltaB
EB-2 India : BaselineC + DeltaC
Maybe, DeltaC is the biggest delta and EB-2 India becomes current in a single month. Thats ok. Thats great.
Anytime you talk about Outcome1, you will give a pause to people like me (EB-3 ROW). Lets focus on Outcome2, and you will have my wholehearted support.

Hey, sorry for your situation, I can only imagine, I cant even manage one here..:rolleyes:
pun aside, here is my 2 cents
1) did you talk to your lawyer?
2) if # 1 is ruled out or of no use, I would personally draft a letter showing that she is travellling right now and with kids and it would be extremely difficult to get her TB test done as you cant get it done by that RFE due date. add some more stuff telling your situation as to why she cant come right away due to the stuff you mentioned (kids/babies ). IAm sure you WILL get it exteneded.
you made a good point here - Is it possible to ask 1 month extension for RFE based on the difficulties. I'm EB3 IND PD 2003 and I dont think our I-485 is waiting for adjudication any time soon.
so bottomline I would not go empty handed, go with a typed letter. if you need anything esle PM me...
Thanks man for your replies. I'm gathering as much as I can. All the tickets, birth certs.
Plus, to add to the complication, I've also confirmed ticket to meet them at Frankfurt on their way to US. My Euro vacation for a week would collapse and have to cancel everything.
I'm try to keep myself sane. There are much worse situations people are facing in this forum ( for example, a ninth pregnant lady getting laid off).
Just hoping (and praying) that this can be solved smoothly.
GC is really proving to be a daaawg....

With due respects, dude, this is one thing an individual should fight for himself, how will some other employee benefit if you sue your employer and win?..
I do not think small time bad desi employers are hiring illegals. They are doing everything right as per law, it is just that the law is in favor of the employers and the immigration delays further gives them leeway to try their dirty tricks.
Having said that, I appreciate your post informing affected employees on how to file a case. It will be useful for people who have a case against their employers. Please keep us posted on the outcome, I am sure it will motivate a lot of us.
Buddy when I was talking about illegals I was not talking about IT jobs or desi employers though I know desi's run lots of other businesses like grocery store, resturants, which required non-professional workers.
If the employer see ICE/DOL taking action against another employer and making an example out of it s/he will think twice about doing the same thing. Look at what happened with Fragomen. Though it is too early to say if Fragomen was involved in wrong doing, I am sure other immigration firms are already reviewing their procedure/guidance to make themselves compliant with the law/procedure.
