    Thanks buddy,

    What is the procedure to the SSA update?

    My family do not have SSA? I need to apply for them as well.

    It won't take more than 1 hr to get all those. A simple form to be filled out (for a new SSN) and I think SS5 form (please google) for those updating SSN. It's very simple procedure. SSA will need proper ID/ and GC to verify your current status. Card should arrive in 2 weeks...

    Best of luck for those who are current...

    Last year we started a major membership campaign in Colorado. People kind of agreed that IV is the appropriate platform for this crusade, and they were willing to contribute money, but only if they see required transparency in the IV organization. Members of the state chapters have so far not heard about how the contributed money is spent, and what kind of lobbying took place in Washington.

    Is good to hear the cheers of "IV is our only hope", and yes in one way it is, but unless we bring required reform to IV, the status quo will maintain. That is several years since its inception : limited number of paying members, half hearted participation in various campaigns, and inactive state chapters.

    I landed on March 17, 08 and came back the same day to the US using Automatic Visa Revalidation. I had no questions asked either by Canadian or US authorities. When you land the Canadian authorities will staple a piece of paper to your PP as proof of PR until you get the PR card. While re-entering the US I remove that stapled paper as it was very annoying every time you opened the PP. Nobody will question you just because you have a plan B.

    Using AVR may seem like using a viable option, but I'm not even sure if it is for me since I don't even have a H1B stamp in my passport (expired or otherwise) since I haven't left the country since I switched from F1 to H1B status. I'll almost certainly have to use AP to return to the US after landing. As per other concerns in this thread, I don't know if the scrutiny to my AP and passport with the Canadian Visa is going to cause issues when I re-enter.

    And none of us should even complain when millions of illegals are suddenly made legal by the Government and they jump the line in front of us for no fault of ours and there are EB3s still waiting from 2001. The illegals have taken a risk right by jumping across the border and staying here illegally???

    :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I can't help but laugh at all these taking moral high ground. They talk like this even after looking at what is happening in so called highly ethical american corporates.
    There are rules and people smart enough and daring enough go ahead and push it/bend it as much as possible to achive what interests them most.
    As of April 2009, the person who asked the original question and the consultant who asked the question assumed they should be able to land a contract job once October rolls around.
    It is a common practice, without going into how it is unfair for the numerous others who have job offers in hand.

    Now what would you say to the people who sold houses worth 500,000$ to the people who are making 40K per annum or so? The people who took the risk bear the reward or repercussions.

    The person who took a risk by applying for H1 without a client offer, and the consultant would have been rewarded financially if they were able to land a job.
    Now that they can't, they have this potential of being illegal stay/out of status or whatever that they have to deal with.
    So I suppose, if we can help him with answers to the questions he is seeking and provide any guidance that will help him deal with the results of his decision , as many are doing on thread, that is great. If not, don't have get so preachy/flamey.

    Peace out.

    PS:Aksham,this is not directed at you.

    How about sending the flowers to many people rather than sending it just one person???

    If 200 different people in DC get flowers then it will definitely create a larger impact than sending it one single person. .. Atleast thats what I think ...


    We can very well send them to White House as well.. I know president responds to them with a nice autographed picture of himself alongwith first lady..

    Hi,

    I am a Jul 23rd I-485 filer. Just called USCIS second time (first time no success), went thru their menu and was lucky to get a great Cust Service Rep.

    She asked me the I-485 receipt #s, address, primary contact #, DOB, and Zip Code for self and spouse.

    She generated a SR for us together and gave us a Conf # for FP notice. She said that you should receive a FP appt notice in next 30 days.

    So I guess, perseverance does pay off :)

    Hopefully we can get this FP out of the way soon enough.

    FYI I am a Bay Area resident.


    I am not sure if opening SR helps, especially for TSC. I opened SR 30 days ago and still waiting. They have not scheduled me yet for an appointment.

    like desi*3* pointed out, its good to get a lawyers' opinion. if this was illegal it is unlikely that corps would do such postings in such numbers.

    unfortunately, H1B is often the last choice in tough economic times (of course the job skills will continue to be an overriding factor) which hurt some H1B workers the most. Personally, holding a job was very difficult for me during the dot com bust so I understand the pain.

    But there is very little to be gained by copy-pasting dice ads in IV forums . we have also seen such ads during the the dot com bust when software industry was down. what's so new here?

    and by going to the media, you are going to incite more anti-indian feeling. an indian gets equated to a job stealer in these times. people don't bother to instrospect over what exactly has ruined the job market.

    at times its good to lie low instead of making impotent noises. just my opinion.
    choose wisely. finally, each to his/her own.

    I will also suggest guys waiting with their PD current to write to the USCIS Director in DC. I did that; not sure if that worked in my case, but one needs to explore every way of bringing their case to the attention of the management.

    Here is what you do,

    1. Do not talk to them on phone
    2. Send them a letter stating keeping your salary is against law. If they think you owe them the money, send you a letter explaining why they think the money is owed and how much, state that filing of labor is a cost to the company and not to the employee as per DOL
    3. Give them a time limit of 30 days.
    4. Ask them to send all the correspondence to your home address.
    5. Send them a letter with some kind signature rcpt.

    Wait and see, If they have a real claim then they will respond to you otherwise they will send your money.

    We have been waiting for more than 100 days. We applied exactly 120 days before our current EAD was going to expire. When I called USCIS (after 90 days) , Customer Service told that that don�t have our finger prints in file. I never got any notice and my lawyer said they don�t need finger prints for paper filed application and they should use I485 finger prints. So I took the infopass appointment. IO was nice and he was willing to listen. He said the same thing (missing finger prints). I showed him the fingerprint receipts from last year and also showed the USCIS memo talking about interim EAD. He said no to interim EAD. But called Texas Service Center right then. Person on the other end offered to call back in 5 minutes and he did. IO came back and told us that there was some thing wrong at their end and they will port my finger print information from 485 to EAD application. But he said it would take 10 � 15 business days more. Our current EAD were expiring soon and I called congresswoman�s office next day. Got the approval email yesterday evening. Don�t know what worked. But what a huge relief.

    EB-3-India (March 2003)
    Labor Approved: Oct 2006
    I-140 approved � Jan 2007
    I-485 applied � June 2007
    EAD (Renewal) applied � May first week 2008
    Called USCIS and Opened SR � August first week
    Infopass at local uscis office: Aug 20th
    Called Congress Woman�s office: Aug 21 st
    EAD Approval email: Aug 25

    Does this mean, if someone has never done FP for 485, will need to do it now for EAD even if it is paper based?

    When USCIS says that they have made arrangements to forward the flowers to somewhere else, is it possible that the flowers be directly routed to the war veterans hospital instead of reaching the USCIS building first? They being government bodies, can they directly route the flowers without arriving at USCIS? Just a thought..

    Just want to let you know that I am still VERY MUCH against porting. But neither that is the issue we are handling here nor the other issue is as urgent as this one.
    Dividing IV on the Lines on EB2 or EB3 or on basis of ROW/India is something i just dont like. United we stand !!!!!! .

    I saw couple of threads earlier from you which talks against porting of EB3 to EB2 - i believe you had some lawsuit idea there for not allowing BS+5 to port to EB2 which is think i highly divisive and unfair on certain peoples

    Lets come up with ideas without stepping on each others shoe and i'm 100% willing to join.

    ThinkTwice , very valid points.

    May i also take a minute to thank you for staritng the original thread on this issue. We would have never come to know about this issue otherwise. Thanks !

    I have requested Zoooom to do the same in the other thread and Zoooom is working on it. Thanks Zooom !


    Zoom, I appreciate you having started this thread, I have a suggession - Can you please
    - give a little back ground as to why we are starting this effort
    - The source http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jul2007/db20070718_012859.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index _businessweek+exclusives
    - Also some one mentioned that Aman was even considering SELLING his house to support OUR cause.
    - what we intend to accomplish by this effort
    - The manner in which the money that is collected will be admistered ( If this has not been finalized may be just mention that this is WIP)
    - what our target is.

    If you add all this information in the initial post it will give direction and substance to this effort.

    Thanks
    TT

    at some month before OCT 2007 the dates would become unavailable.

    what would happen at that time?

    say your case was received by USCIS and they have not issued FP notices.

    what if they issued FP notices but not issued EAD and/or AP.
    would they still issue an EAD and AP even if your dates are not current(obviously the case was received by them and they issued you a case number)

    any ideas?

    In that case people with PD 2002 2003 whould have not got EAD's or renewals.. it won't affect the people who filed.
    Once you file 485 ,PD will stop only getting you GC.
