I just read a story about being a strong community, and although IV is not just about Indians, or any particular ethnic group. What I would like to illustrate is that: It is true, that we need to unite as a community. An IV- Community for all law abiding legal immigrants!.

Never say never, I dont know what my kids will do, they will go where is best for them.
And Best is not just GDP, Romania hast 4 times more GDP per capita compared to India, but I don't see my self going back there. Coruption, stupid mentality, etc. dis will not change with GDP growth, to change the mentality of the people you need a couple of generation to die until you get somwhere close to USA.:(
I agree with you on that. But the US is not on the right track when it comes to skilled immigration and it may cause severe problems for it later. Already smart kids in India/China don't mind staying home with the life/salaries and work opportunities. Things are changing and the US better get its game up or innovation will slowly shift overseas.

I tried to contact the attorney so badly until Aug 16th, but he never responded. I was able to get hold of him only on Aug 17th. I guess he was directed by my employer so.

OK, they'll raise the fees (I can live with that). But how do we improve the chances of better services?
USCIS is asking for comments....If IV would be so kind as to submit comments for the raising of the fees. I humbly throw these out for discussion:
Accept the fee increases providing:
1) That USCIS propose public standards of reducing processing times to 30 days+10 day security check.. Automatically produce an EAD if it takes longer. Hey. We're all still in the country whether the process succeeds or not right? We would just appeal, submit more info or beat it until it's done. Who's any safer?
2) That RFEs not be used to manage work levels. Plus they ought not to reset the 90 day clock to zero if they issue one. That is ridiculous and unheard of.
3) That they simplifiy applications (a la Canada) so that "lay persons" can (carefully) fill in the forms. Lawyers not required.
4) That the USCIS abide by the laws. Especially regarding FBI name checking. We have a duty to follow the law. I'm careful to do so. The government should be careful to do so as well.. Call me a radical.
5) That they publish proposals to stream line the process with modern business methods and concrete goals. The increases should be tied to fulfilling stated goals of improvements of service. Otherwise they roll back. Have a 3rd (independent) party decide if the goals have been met in three years.
If we tax payers are giving them extraordinary increases in fees, we should at least expect some meaningful process improvements. Simply claiming that they need-the-cash-for-process-improvements is not sufficient. What is to prevent them from using the money to give everyone big raises and bonuses and a nice fancy new office, and big fancy new computers if they're going to continue to use paper and use the computers to access rickety old systems with terminal emulators? I'd love to deal with happy USCIS employees, but I'd love it even more if I had to deal efficient USCIS employees. (Give them the tools and they'll be happier!)
Excellent, Please write a letter, you can submit it in your personal capacity as a US Taxpayer and a USCIS Customer.
Please also post it, we can all use it as a template to write something similar and post it.

Without GC, they were working for the same client with even more pay and life was good if not better.
.
i don't think settling for a lesser salary after getting GC is a wise thing to do & i hope you as well as most of the people here would not like to do that unless a person has outdated skills & does not want to upgrade or wants to accept whatever he gets without any efforts.

So you only want results without any effort from you, you have not answered how you have helped us, did you attend the rally, or sponsor money. I took the opportunity and travelled and participate in the rally for a common cause. Look at your self and ask your self these questions, and see how you can change and help IV by contributing.

Over 60% of the US and 90% of Arizona supports the law they passed. Obama and his Attorney General are doing the wrong thing by interfering with state politics. How can these high ranking officials tell state law enforcement NOT TO enforce laws? The Supreme court will favor AZ even before the case starts. Slam Dunk.
those numbers.... 60% or 90% are all doctored...... and i'll look at the poll numbers only if both the following conditions are true -
1.) if i've no brain of my own to differentiate between right or wrong, so i must rely on the poll numbers to help me choose my position
2.) if i'm a cheap bastard running to get elected in some useless office ..... therefore i must do what is popular than what is right.... i must give up my conscience and i must choose my position looking at the poll numbers......
i'm afraid that neither of these two conditions apply on me..... so i'll have to disagree with u.....
so much for u'r slam dunk...... come back and read this after the decision by the US supreme court...... state of arizona does not have legal jurisdiction over federal immigration law. no matter how much evil we see around us... this world is made up of good men and women..... AZ will lose..... federal government is asking AZ to enforce the existing law and disband their illegal & illegitimate bill sb1070 becoz its in violation of the constitution of the country..... applying existing federal law will take supremacy over "AZ immigration law" ........

Lazycis,
Thanks for the public charge note.
http://immigration.about.com/library/weekly/aa090903b.htm
In this forum Mr. Shusterman clarified that for layoffs before 180 days, the alien is protected for I-140 portablity, if the employer doesnot revoke it (which is my case).
1.
Question #2: I was laid off after less than 180 days on the job, got a new job, same as the old, when I-485 was still pending, for less than 180 days. Up to now, my I-485 has been pending more than 22 months after approval of I-140 and no revocation. Can I use AC21?
Carl: Absolutely.
2. Carl: The 180-day portability rule was designed for cases such as yours. None of the four USCIS service centers which adjudicate I-485s do so in less than a year, much less 180 days. Your question is based on the misconception that any change of employment within the first 180 days after the I-485 is submitted may be fatal to your application. The truth is that since you intended to work for the initial employer, but were laid off, it is your responsibility to find a new employer who can offer you a job in the same or a similar occupation as soon as possible. I would urge you to wait until 180 days have passed since the submission of your I-485, and then submit your intent letter and a letter from your new employer in order to invoke the portability doctrine.
The reason that I urge you to wait until after 180 days, is that if you notify the USCIS of your change of employment now, the agency could deny your I-485 before the 180 days have been reached and you would not be able to take advantage of the portability rule.
What are your thoughts?
What should I do now?
Thanks for the public charge note.

If its money that lures them into action, so be it. At this point, the situation is so desperate anything that moves the queue quicker is fine by me.
Definitely it is fine for "you" but not for many others. That's why many oppose it.
Why people are apprehensive ... the same reason why the very same people demanding for a special quota are apprehensive that Illegals will be placed before them pushing them further down the queue.
And if it plays by money may be have an auction for GC ... highest bidder gets it first ;)

Consulate officers and immigration officers at port of entry are two different categories including their education background, training etc...dont compare them. Consulate officers are first line of defence which has to be good at detecting problems.
I have no interest in your employment setup...question is -Are you paid while you are on vacation or [off project and still in this country]. And Whether that would be treated as valid employment for H1 candidate by the book of law.
If employees are not reporting fraud commited by employer because the employee want to come to US..then they are party to the fraud and hence Consulate are trying to ensure that valid employments are allowed.
If they have comeup with some requirements it would have been based on analysis of fraud reported by USCIS's H1B program itself + ICS raids + others.....
If the H1 petition says your annual salary is X and your W2 show less than that how do you explain it? It implies either your were out of work or paid-less than promised which implies that there is a potential of employer committing a fraud....
with me?

Dude you can convert from CP to AOS even after filing for CP. Your CP can be canceled. Vise-versa is more complicated. Even murthy.com had some write up on this. Go search their website.
Talk to a lawyer and stop cribbing here. Your situation is nothing different from others.
Internet/ssnd03,
I would like to clarify few things on behalf of CP filers:
1. Taking CP or 485 route is a personal decision and none of the CP filers have to justify you guys especially when you do not have a pragmatic approach to this issue.
2. If CP filers were not contributing to IV because they were not seeing any benefit out of IV efforts; what do you expect from CP filers to win your kind heart? Contribute in every single way even knowing that IV would do nothing to CP filers? How many such great souls do we have among 485 filers who are here just to get their GC sooner (which means I am not talking about volunteers who have GC but still helping IV - kudos to you guys).
Tell the 485 filers that IV will only take care of members whose PD is over 3 or 4 years old and see how many of those birds will still be on the IV tree!
3. There is no sin, stupid logic in CP filers (who are already in the USA) asking for a provision like EAD. And, CP filers are asking for it just because of the severe retrogression we are in. And they would not have asked for it if there was a separate VISA numbers pool available for CP filers.
You are (or were) just a beneficiary in this system like every one else. CP or 485, every one have equal right to bring up their issue to the Govt.
485 guys want to speed up the name check, multiple year EAD, AP, increase visa numbers to infinity, remove per country limit, make EB2 current just because you guys made a decision to go with EB2 assuming that would be a faster queue. you guys even change EB3 to EB2 to speed up application and even sue USCIS!!! And all this are fair!!!
But a guy should not opt to go for CP assuming that would be a faster queue. Even if he/she does, should not come back and ask for ANY benefits even if the queue comes to a stand still for a decade because of all the July filers!
If the core members come and out and say that IV is only for 485 filers or only for those who have made contribution, then CP filers would take a stand.
Until then, chill out and do not show your frustrations on CP guys.
