The pain of waiting for 9-yrs is nothing compared to the wait now (after dates got current)...Refreshing my yahoo mail on iPhone atleast twice per hour, Clicking on Safari where the last visited page is that of case status online (Click the status btn frequently) --- Life is difficult :(
Like an ad says: "Stay thirsty my friend", I hope I dont have to stay thirsty "FOREVER".
God save us from this misery just like u've been saving a few others!!!
I hear you. Goodluck to us!

cut to short the message is for myself---we are still waiting for the visa number and for mywife ---case is under review. hope to wait and see????
If your Notice date is in Sept 2007, we need to wait for our turn. Look for the NOTICE DATE on your 485 application.

I always thought applying for AP when priority date is current will result in them looking at your 485 application and eventually approve it.
I wish you getting aproval soon.

If you had followed the thread most people are suggesting to avoid this place rather than to fight them. Don't you get that point ?
How is charging different amounts for the same kind of visa and refusing to correct the mistake OP's personal responsibility ?
Correct. We need to boycott them when they become unreasonable. A great man once moved an entire nation to do just that for a much greater purpose and it delivered results just over 60 years ago.
In a global world, if they choose to remain racist, ignorant and unreasonable, then my $ goes elsewhere. Vote with your wallets and boycott these Brits.

I'm with Lingo since 2005 and I just changed over to the Hello World Max plan today (thanks to this thread). I called to ask if there is any penalty for cancelling and moving to Vonage since I am getting free calls to India and the CSR (a desi gal BTW) told me about this plan. She said there was no contract to switch and it would take effect from next billing cycle. She waived the plan change fee but wouldnt give me 2 months free like Vonage.
So for now, I'll stick with them since now I really dont have much to bitch about. My phone bill comes ~$60 right now (yes I make a lot of India calls) so am glad to see it drop in half.
As far as taxes go, it depends on your address so I think Vonage and Lingo should both be the same since the taxes are paid to Federal, State, County, City and they dont discriminate between companies. I know a friend who registered his phone in some god forsaken place since taxes there are very low but since this VOIP is my primary line, I need to have some kind of 911 service and am fine with the tax.
Here is the taxes for Lingo service for VA.
Federal Taxes & Fees: 0.36
Universal Services: 4.64
State Taxes & Surcharges: 3.37
County/Local Taxes: 0.00
Presubscribed Inter-exchange Carrier Chrg: 0.00
Regulatory Recovery Fee for XXXXX 1.99
Emergency Services Fee for XXXXXX 1.99
---------------------------------------------------
Total Fees, Taxes & Surcharges: 12.35
Talked to lingo Customer Service now.
When existing customers change to the new Max plan, they have to sign up for a new 2 year contract.
Also have to wait till the next billing cycle for the plan to take effect.

not true AP filing is not denied just because you have a valid H1 visa. The two are completely unrelated. Also if you have a valid H1 visa carrying a 485 receipt notice while a good idea is not required at all since you hold a valid H1 visa.

The Gandhi Protest
Several readers commented on a posting earlier this week about 200 skilled immigrants from India who tried a Gandhi-like tactic and sent flowers to the government's immigration director for help in moving their green card applications along. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services forwarded the flowers to soldiers recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital, saying it understood the intent of gesture.
Here's a sample:
"I wonder if USCIS really understood why the flowers were sent. It was a symbolic protest by legal immigrants AGAINST the way USCIS treated them. How could they send it in the 'same spirit' to soldiers whom we all empathize with?"
.....
"What an inspirational act. Too bad the message did seem to have gotten lost in translation. Just imagine what would have happened in WWII if the US would have turned away the immigrating sciencists and engineers. How come some 50 years later, the US is struggling to see the value of inviting the world's best and brightest to immigrate here."
.....
"I'm sorry that these people were tricked into coming to America with the promise of a welcome and eventually a Green Card. The fact is that H1-B immigrants were brought here in order to replace US workers."
.....
"Viceroy Lord Wavell and his assistants laughed when M.K. Gandhi told them that one day they will be forced to leave India. What they did not understood that they were not politicians, they were bureaucrats. When the political power behind peaceful civil disobedience was unleashed, a nation took shape, and what Gandhi told Wavell became a reality.
"Something similar repeated in United States recently when thousands of legal immigrants were given a cold shoulder, despite of their merit based claim for an American Green Card. They decided to apply Gandhian way of peaceful protest by sending thousands of flower bouquets to USCIS, an American agency responsible for immigration and citizenship. Instead of offering an apology, USCIS chief decided to again ignore the immigrants and simply issued a statement that the flowers will be forwarded to the injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Once again a bureaucrat miscalculated the power hidden behind a peaceful protest. Now the power behind flowers is becoming a media mainstream story. NY Times, Washington Post, Reuters, Yahoo News are a few to name. Bollywood, has recently issued a statement providing its full support to Immigration Voice, the non profit organization behind the flower campaign.
"An American way of fighting injustice 'A law suit' is on its way, the usual rallies and demonstrations are about to begin. However, in America, its first time after Martin Luther King Jr., that someone has tried to apply Gandhi's way to fight injustice. It is yet not clear that what would be the outcome of this campaign, but there are rumours that USCIS is already discussing internally to reverse the discriminatory decision which caused this embarrassing flower campaign against them.
"It's amazing to witness that 60 years after Gandhi's demise, his ideology is still relevant. We are sure its gonna remain relevant till there are Lord Wavell's in this world. Lord Wavell's can momentarily laugh thinking that unorganized immigrants are helpless, but when the peaceful protest will demonstrate its political power, they surely will realize what Gandhi and Gandhian ways are all about."

I have the same question as I think, it is not possible. How can you re-apply for the same job you are in currently, in EB2?
If the job required a EB2 or EB3 but EB3 was filed earlier. Is that possible?

IUnless id you selected Saturday delivery as special service Fedex wont deliver it on saturday . USICS is sure closed on saturday unless the mail room guy wants some overtime( assume he was a contractor as USICS is employing more contractor these days for the sorting work) and comes on saturday

Can anybody tell me what do i need to put on I-765 , Q11, as i am not able to rely on my company's attorney.
11.Have you ever applied for employment authorization from USCIS?
As per the following link - http://www.uga.edu/oie/ISSIS/form/Department/PR/Instructions%20for%20I-765.pdf
it says that you need to put yes and have to attach all the previous 797's.
But my attorney says that you need to put No. Only those who applied for EAD earlier have to put yes (Which i feel not correct).
can anybody clarify please.
Thanks in Advance.

I think if you have I-551 stamped on your passport then you do not need any other document. i-551 is as good as physical green-card. You can carry the approval notice with you. This is my opinion, do no quote on me.
Our cases were approved on Sep 21, 2010. Received approval notices on Sep 25, 2010. But did not get the Cards yet. I am planing to travel next week. So I went to local USCIS office and got the I-551 stamp on my passport. Can you guys suggest me what other documents I need to take along with me if I don't receive the cards by the time I leave. Also pls let me how long will it takes to receive the cards.
Thank you,
Srini

The total number of applications excluding EB2, EB3 are 7,653.
The total visa's per annum -> 140,000
Considering that there would be more applications during the year from non-retrogressed countries/categories ..it is evident now that there won't be more than 5K such applications. On pessimistic side even if we consider 10K such applications, The visas available for retrogressed EB2 and EB3 should be around 120K this year.
Total pending EB2 is 74,932. So EB2 should be Current for all countries this year.
EB3 should get around 40K visas this year.
Any one disagrees?
If everything goes well(based on the numbers). Most likely you and I (including - others ahead in the line) should be GREENED by same time NEXT YEAR(Sep 2010). :D

We know EB2 - I dates have not moved since Oct ,2010 .
So India regular quota for the last six months : 5800/2 = 1900 .
Since dates have not moved, I am assuming 1900 should also be considered towards porting.
so my conclusion is so far 1200 + 1900 = 3100 porting already took place. (though only 1900 really got GC)
I think you meant to say 2800 not 5800. I'm correcting your statement.

Hi All, I had a quick question.
My I-485 got approved earlier this week from NSC and I received the approval/welcome letter by USPS.
My online status is at post-decision activity and not at CPO.
Though my welcome notice says that I should receive the card in 3 weeks, I am wondering if I need to be at CPO status before that happens....also I read somewhere they may require another FP before CPO (that was talking more abt transfer cases, but mine has always been at NSC).....but nowhere in my approval notice does it ask for an FP.
I was wondering if I should just sit tight and wait for the physical card or try to find out more information.
Thanks so much.

Why dont USCIS clarify on the report they put out
1. Lack of description and detail about what it is ?
2. No time stamp on the report
3. Provide some commentary and detail about the parameters used in the report.
Becuase It is USCIS :D
