you are both quite the racists. :eek: i question the wisdom of such attacks as it makes both sides look desperate. it is best if one side looks content. Let it roll off of the back like water on a duck.

Can you please mention the source or any basis of 50 to 60 K applications pending before October 2003. I am interested to know this because my PD is also EB-3 (India), October 2003. Thanks.

Jan 1 1970. Before that you can submit affidavits.
I didn't submit non-availabilty to attorney. Last time in Sep 2005, I was about to file I-485, they didn't ask. Not sure, if the Non-Availability thing came up after Oct 2005.
My father tried to get a Non Availability certificate but they told since the birth is registered they can't issue one and that they also won't change the name...:mad: (after the incident where that MP tried to sneak people into Canada they are very strict it seems)

What you guys are talking about ... Walter reed is the best place for the flowers to go, with all what is going on in there ... the media will eat this news . DO not Cancel whatever you Do do not cancel instead call the media and let them know........... This is even better.
Can we do a blood drive next as protest! seriously. Donate blood as protest and for media attention.
I totally agree with this. A blood drive is a WONDERFUL idea. If we can get enough media outlets to cover this story it will send the right message to the Federal government. I think this will be HUGE. test101 - you are a genius !!
IV core - please consider this.

I just spoke to customer service .they mentioned all cell calls to india are free under this WORLD plan.who ever is signing up , can proceed , can call customer service to confirm this as well to avoid any surprise charges
bestofall - is right.
Even I am chatting with the customer rep, I have asked many questions about the artes and every time the rep said there is no charge for INDIA, we can call any type of network which is absolutely free.
Please see the below few key replies from the chat person
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Vonage World, you will have unlimited calling to landlines and cell phones in India.
That will include all types of phones and numbers,
You can only see that the chart displays the rate per minute that you would have without Vonage World plan. We do still have plans that do not include India for free therefore we need to keep the list specific to clarify the rate per minute without Vonage World.
I can assure you that with Vonage World, ALL numbers in India will be included with no additional rate per minute.

So attack on L1 is on the way.
What about another plan to attack F1?
You are NOT supposed to have immigration intent when you apply F1. So what about targeting all those F1 now, since it is very obvious that they didnt come here just to study and go back. So lets smoke them out based on their "fraud intentions" at the time of F1 application.
After that lets attack the H1 landers. Many of them landed in H1 with body shoppers, and later changed to some big american company. Lets find some thing or other against these body shoppers, and all those H1 came with these body shoppers should go back (even though they are with some other company).
Ok. what is left.......... lets find out something bad about everybody else, except me.
Ohh... wait a sec..... we were supposed to be "united", by this forum, not "divided".

please ignore the dots...the important thing is to make the lawmakers aware of the issue. As mirage mentions we should send a letter to the rep Logfren, (i have mailed the letters), we just want them to be aware that there is an issue, ROWs please send them too, you will also be impacted. Nothing against EB2's or the comments they have passed so far, we dont want to undermine your visas, the idea here is simply to make the lawmakers and DOS/USCIS aware of the problem.
In a way DOS/USCIS have opened a pandoras box because EB3 as a whole will see slower approvals leading to a larger number of countries stuck in the process across a spectrum of countries. earlier it was mainly india, china and mexico. If visa allotment policy holds then you will see more countries getting retrogessed.
Some one gave me this comment saying
Show me where have I undermined IV efforts? And show me nonsensical or counterproductive posts that I have made -- that is, nonsensical or counterproductive to the cause of upholding the law (not pandering to a particular employment category/chargeability area).
I have done my homework, and I have understood the law properly. I have time and again given logical proof, along with the text of the law, as to why EB3 is eligible get the EB1 numbers at the same time as EB2. On the other hand none of the detractors have provided proof, or material that shows EB3 does not qualify.
And for all those holier-than-thou EB2, what is about the letter campaign to get NSC/TSC to process application according to PDs (no lawful basis for that), and asking the removal of NSC bosses and what not. You seem to have different standards when you are suffering, and when others are suffering. There is a word in the dictionary for that, look it up.

How come others are stupid and you are not? They did the same thing what you did. They also thought they can make some money by selling their house in few years. They are stupid because they took ARM loans? Or foreclosed before you? Did you thought about consequences before buying the house?
Yep. You are wise. All others are stupid.
Thanks for the feedback so far from people on this group.
Answering to the question about making bad decision and having a good job..well it is not my bad decision that has brought down the whole market but the banks and stupid people who took loan and didnt knew the consequences of ARM loans and then started filing for foreclosure.. because of those foreclosures the property rates have went down and i cannot get what i paid for the house.
if this whole mess was not there then anyone can find a good job and sell his house, if not profit then atleast with no loss..
i hope u got my point..

All of you guys are smart ,highly skilled immigrants.
Let me make one thing clear. Govt has defined EB categories : EB1 , Eb2 and EB3 . based on level of exp and education etc..
Now that your employer has applied for you in Eb3 even though you were qualified under Eb1 or Eb2 then govt can't do any thing. Like if you are making 70k with 5 years exp and which is ok as per your labor cert of H1b then govt cannot do any thing . Even though u r less paid compare to market.
same thing here.. If you think you can qualify for Eb2 and your employer want to apply as EB2 . It should not be issue. You are most welcome to do so. But I see common ground as HR 5882. Why dont we work hard and hard to get HR 5882 pass. One of my friend has MS from USA from top uni. with 18 years of exp from India and 3 years of exp in big 5 from USA. Still his recent employer applied under Eb3 . Should he complained to govt ???
He left current employer and found another who willing to apply under Eb2.
Unless Eb1 current Eb2 should not get any spill over same way unless Eb2 current Eb3 should not get Spill over. No matter what way you fight govt wont agree to give high priority to Eb3 compare to Eb1 or Eb2 . as from VDLRAO's post Eb2 does not need much visa to become current so if we get recaptured visa then eb2 will be current and Eb3 will get most of visa out of those recaptured visa.
CALL CALL CALL CALL unless you win.. Dont need to fight here which is not going to work out for any one.
EB3 will not any visa from recapture bcoz it will go to EB2 first. EB2 line is not going to clear in next 10 years bcoz nowadays everybody applies in EB2 and as they move VB forward for EB2, more and more people apply for AOS and it never ends.
So EB3 won't be benefited by recapture unless there is a clause specifically for EB3 allotment out of that recapture

Guys, i have been trying to find some information on this but i can't seem to find any thing relevant.
I have been in the US since 2001. I came in on a F1 and then moved to a H1 and then my employer filed for my greencard and i now have an EAD and AP that is employment based. My last entry into the US was based on my AP.
I recently got married and my wife is a US citizen. I was wondering if it makes sense to apply for a family based AOS concurrently since the employment based AOS takes a long time to be processed. If this possible? and if so how do i go about doing this?
My apologies if this topic has already been covered, i tried searching the forums but could not find any similar topics.
Appreciate the help.

I recharged my account 10 days back at aitell 9.99 for 600 mins valid for 45 days. Today not allowing to make call due to insufficient balance. From the call history on their website, I only used 300+ minutes after recharge. I got doubt and looked all my recharges and usage from last 3 months. They are giving less minutes than advertisements on their website. I called to check with them today and customer service number is always busy. Any body using Airtel check your account history.
I had similar issue with them yesterday and also lost minutes, I tried to reach them for at least 90 minutes, finally I am able to get in touch with customer service rep and she confirmed me that they are running into some issues that they said that technical upgrade and confirmed me that after 2 hours I will get my minutes back (After that upgrade)...I have checked and it came back......
so speak with them, I am sure you will get yours back.....good luck

I dont know of any link to a particular publication, but I thought it was a common knowledge that the whole point of labor certification process, is for the DOL to monitor that a potential US worker (I thought it meant US Citizen but may be not), is not being displaced by a foreign worker. To be clear here though, the DOL does not prevent an employer from going ahead and sponsoring an H1B and hiring a foreign employee. But DOL is legally directed to reject such labor applications.
Though this is applicable only for H1B hiring and subsequent filing of GC process for such an employee, I am wondering whether there is any loophole in DOL's directives that might provide a cover for employers to enquire whether a propective employee is US Citizens are not.... Especailly in the PERM process don't they have to do active recruiting efforts and gather statiscis that they tried to hire US citizens ..?? How can an employer gather statistics if they didn't ask for work authorization related details....?
May be due to possible loopholes in such laws...they are able to take it a step further and enquiring about the kind of work authorization a candidate possesses!
There are no loopholes. I do not find anything that explicitly states that a US citizen should be given preference over GC or other immigrants. On the contrary, the employment laws explicitly prohibits discrimination based on nationality and immigration status. The whole point of PERM is to protect the "US worker", not just US citizen. See the following -
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_permfl.html
http://www.ailc.com/perm-labor-certification.htm
http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/perm.cfm
http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/eta/title_20/part_656/20CFR656.3.htm
They all refer to "US worker" not "US Citizen". I do not see any reason to panic over this.
For the purposes of PERM, the employer only needs to know whether the candidate is legally authorized to work in the US. They do not need to know if the person has a green card or is a citizen or a refugee, etc.
HOWEVER, I am not able to find a concrete definition of a "U.S worker". I am not able to conclusively determine if a person in AOS using EAD falls under the umbrella of a "U.S. Worker" as defined by the law. I would think it would, since somebody on EAD is not just specific to EB immigrants. It applies to FB, refugees, agricultural workers, and a whole bunch of other immigrants.
So, I guess it all boils down to what is the legal status of somebody who has 485 pending, EAD, and AP? At that point you are no longer on H-1B. Is this status covered in the definition of a "U.S. worker"? ... Anybody?

I'd posted a note earlier. I haven't received any updates yet. I am in contact with 4 other people who interviewed on 4th Jan and are still awaiting a reply. The kentucky number mentioned in one of the replys confirms the date on which our H1 was approved. When you call up the number, on mentioning your case #, it pulls up the date on which H1b was approved.
Could anyone who's received a email/ call please post a message to the group, indicating the wait time and date of the first interview?
Thanks!
