Did AILA screwed up the party of many july filers by sending this memo http://www.shusterman.com/pdf/aila-cis-vb.pdf to uscis which scared them and prompting them to come up with the legal proof revised bulletin causing this whole mess. Should AILA had waited until july , then we would probably have a strong legal ground to fight against the uscis ??

No need to worry.
People write letters all the time to the president and first lady, FBI, USCIS, etc etc when they are stuck in namechecks.
The thing is why should be force ourselves to write letters when we are in deep sh** like namechecks ourselves.
Why can't we do it when we can do it as a large group of people and not being selfish for once. I think this is our chance to stop being a lone voice when nobody hears us. In this campaign we can show how important our issue is and how desperately we want it to be fixed.
BTW I am going to post a handwritten letter. I have heard it works better.
Very good idea. Hand written letter - way to go. Everyone can do this.
Maybe we can write with blood(just kidding)

What stops USCIS is the per country cap. They can only issue so many visas to EB-3 I.

I guess we'll need to ADD to that number:
1. BEC stuck folks who could not file in July 07
2. PERM approvals starting August 07
to the 47,728. Plus multiply by 2.1( for dependents ). That'll give the total VISA numbers required for this category to make it Current.
If I have to guess-- (1) would be very less, may be 100-200 max
(2) around 5000 ( just a PUMA)
So, there are about 53000 EB2 I applications. and 2.1 * 53000 = 111300.
If we can create 111300, EB2 I visas then it'll be CURRENT. easy:)
I do not think you need to multiply 2.1 tp 47728. So it could be max 53,000

Hi guys,
I am about to leave my employer and I want to withdraw my set (with wife derivative). Can you please help me with the procedure? And is it safe to leave the employer without effecting the other set where my wife is primary applicant and me as derivative.
Thanks in advance.
are you sure you want to withdraw? All that you need to do i ssend a letter to USCIS indicating your receipt number. Make it clear to them that you want to keep the other one still going (mention its receipt numbers).
I would personally not withdraw simply because if they screw up and withdraw BOTH petitions, I can forget about filing another AOS for another decade...

My Dear Punjabi Bretheren,
Let me help you understand why I think your question reeks not only of idiocracy, but also utter disregard for even basic moral and common sense.
You wanted to buy a home, live in it for 2 years, sell it and make money. Nothing wrong with it. But, now that the market if not favorable to you, think you are not responsible for payment, and want to foreclose. All I'm saying is you are responsible for your actions; the act of buying a house, making sure you take care of it (read the contract where it says you are to take care and maintain the house to a reasonable standard), paying your monthly mortgage, insuring your home, and paying back the loan with interest by the end of the loan term. You signed the contract. You were ready to reap profits by the sale if there was equity on the home. Likewise you are to assume responsibility of payment if the home value depreciates. This is common sense. This is how the world has been. This is what they teach you as a kid. Why in the world are you complaining about depreciation when you knew this is a possibility when you bought the house?????????????????
Foreclosing is not illegal. But in your case it is unethical. I'm not even sure if your lender will let you foreclose when you don't have a real financial burden to make regular payments. You are losing 20Gs only. I assume you are capable of paying your monthly payments. You want to relocate to get a better paying job. I do not think the lender will let you of the hook so easily. And why should they? They shouldn't. They should make you pay every single penny that you owe to them!
And your questions about returning items to the store; you prove again that your a dishonest man! No, you cannot return a used item. It is wrong. Nothing legal about it. Who told you it is legal??? Now you may go back to the store and pretend like you didn't use it, or that the item is defective, and pass it off, but that's YOU!!!! In your own little dishonest mind everything that is in normal circumstances considered wrong is perfectly fine! You and your buddies here like "kumar1", "leo2606", think that it is fine to return used merchandise. You are all a bunch of dishonest people who didn't learn about right and wrong while growing up. Its not too late, go learn!
Go read this article. Returning used items is fraud!!!!!!!!! It just makes me mad how you could have even imagined that returning a used item was ok!

GASleuth..
this thread was started to get suggestions as to what are the options open in the market..
if someone did give an option and you dont like it, why dont u give an alternative option rather than venting out uour anger.
No one is asking you how u feel or what is ethical and non-ethical..It seems that you are such an ethical guy who has not used a product and went ahead and returned it back to the store..If foreclosing is illegal let me know.. People here are giving pros and cons of doing a foreclosure.. i dont know if you own a house or not, and if you do.. dont know if you are having a perm job or a contract..I know so many people who own house and now they are in a fix because of housing market..I am not like other people who have already foreclosed..and btw.. why to blame the people and not the banks.. if i can own a house and pay mortgage which is quite same as a rent, i will better own a house and sell it after couple of years.. what is harm in that.. i may have mentioned about making profit by owning a house.. but i am not looking at becoming rich by living in a house for 2/3 years..Sledge_hammer and you are complaining all the way in the thread about people who are foreclosing or foreclosed.. but not spent your valuable time in letting people, reading the thread, know what are pros and cons of foreclosure and how it can affect 485..

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIP...28/ldt.01.html
DOBBS: It's pretty remarkable. Two million people legally admitted to the United States each year. Four hundred thousand H1 visas each year. Nine hundred thousand other employment visas each year. Six hundred thousand student visas issued each year. Four hundred fifty-five thousand temporary employment transfers granted.
In addition, over 700,000 legal citizens. In addition, a million permanent residents. My gosh, what in the world are you folks talking about?

The federal government awarded 124,096 H-1B visas in the fiscal year ending October 2005, the most recent annual totals available. That includes renewed visas, which don't count against the annual cap. It doesn't include the 20,312 applications the government turned down.

Got a reply back just now
My mail to Capital One after getting the initial response:
Craig,
Thank you for the reply.
I am surprised by the disqualification since the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had issued the EAD. DHS has set clear guidelines not to discriminate based on any of the authorized work documents issued by them, EAD being one of them. The I-9 form required to be filled in by every employee (citizen or otherwise) clearly mentions this.
Are you sure CapitalOne does not allow candidates who are on EAD specially when it does not require sponsorship from the employer ?
Response that I received for the above email:
Thanks for your message. The information regarding Capital One's policy on pursuing EAD card holders is correct. We are only able to pursue US Citizens or Green Card holders for these roles. I'm sorry, but we won't be able to consider your candidacy at this time.
Best Regards,
Craig
HRs generally "quote" the policy word in every sentence they speak or write. It is a matter of interpretation. The HR may not have a decision making power and is just following what he/she is asked to do. No company has a policy that says GC or citizen, but policy can says "Authorized to work for any em ployer in the United States. I guess it is a matter of interpretation.
The HR seems to be ill informed. Many companies do accept EAD and they are quite aware of the delays in EAD renewal - and that has rarely been the basis to reject a petition.
If this is a trend then it is an issue to all, but if this is an isolated case then definitely you can look into places other than Capital One.
If you want to spend time and resources you can go to a lawyer, but you have no guarantee that you will get the job there too.

Interview date: February 6th
Consulate: Chennai
Case: H4 for my wife(Same firm three year extension for my H1B)
PIMS verification done by DOS on February 25th
Passport sent to VFS for delivery on February 26th
To those who did not get it yet, I suggest calling the DOS (202-663-1225) in the US and find out what is happening. They are more likely to give you better information than your lawyer or the consulate staff in India. I wish the consulate staff in India were more courteous.
Extension cases are taking longer than new petitions. Typical processing times 10-15 days. In our case it took 11 working days for verification.
To those who intend to travel to India for a new Visa stamp, call the DOS and verify that your information is in the system. Just tell them that you need to travel and would rather make sure the information is in place and then make travel arrangements. If you just have a week's vacation time be prepared for flight extensions as it takes more than a week to process the extension cases.

+ve skin test does not mean anything.
You can be +ve if
1. If you ever had TB
2. If you ever had TB medication
3. If you ever had TB Vaccination
If you are +ve, you need to do chest x-ray to verify whether you have TB or not. Tell your doc for chest x-ray. For me, I knew I will be +ve and so I told my doc for x-ray at the first time and did not have skin test.
I Got Positive Skin Test. What Should I Do Now? Please Inform Me.
Thanks
