my lawyer just called to tell me to get my papers ready as the new Visa Bulletin is out and EB3 India has moved from 22nd Nov, 2001 to Feb 2002. I went to the visa bulletin but still see the old one. Even Mumbai visa bulletin page is showing July VB. Does anyone else see the updated VB?

BTW did you have any LUD before this, or straightaway approval was the first update?
Never had any LUD's after July 2007.
Got cards and approval notice in mail on Friday (April 17th ).
Funny to read the printed material came with the card. It had info on how to settle down in the united states ( how to get SSN, get apartment, find a job ?? , etc etc ). It is ironic to read this on my 10th anniversary in this country.. one happy ending I guess ;))

techy2468 same here. i had deleted part of my last post even before u replied because i felt it was going off topic.
"post office monthly income scheme" - that is good info i will definitely check on that.
In short as long as a person is on H1B he is no better than his indian counter part working in a multinational or maybe he is worse, atleast person in india is close to family ,spouse can work anywhere etc etc.
So the sooner the person gets GC the faster he has made his efforts worthwile - otherwise he will find his story similar to what sai posted in first article of this thread.

Maintaining the I-9 document at the employer's location is required by law. Even if you have not signed anything except the offer letter, the employer cannot just deny having you work for his client and wash his hands off you.
You can definitely complain to DOL about wages. You did work for a client for 4 months right? They is no way he can disprove it as if it never happend.
Do not delete any of the emails. Note down the emails and phone numbers of your colleagues from the client site so that they can confirm that you worked there. Call DOL and report this employer.
Hello Everyone,
Hi I am a student in United States and I was on Optional Practical Training from Jan 2008 to Dec 2008. As I finished my OPT in Dec 2008 I joined again in New course for M.S in soft. Eng.
In the month of November I got a job in California through an employer, who is based in New Jersey. As I got a job the employer asked me to sign a contract which states that I will be paid 60,000 per year and I shouldn't work with his clients for 1 year after the agreement is terminated.
As the project was only for 40 days I finished it successfully and I my employer couldnt find me another job till now. So I decided to work on my own when I got an opportunity with the previously worked vendor, when my employer came to know about this he has threatened me to sue me. Then I retrieved from the opportunity but now even my employer doesnt pay me anything. It is been 4 months, he hasn't paid me anything , even he hasnt provided me any insurance.
I asked my employer couple of times to terminate my agreement otherwise I would go to Department of Labor and claim my wages but he downplays that by saying I am not on H1B so I will not be paid unless I am working with Client. But the agreement didn't say anything like that.
I have even asked him to run the payroll where I worked .I.e in California but he ran it in New Jersey. When I pointed this to him he said the payroll will be run at the residing state if the employee works more than 6 months.
We had an argument about this but he never replies to my emails he only calls me and says whatever he wants to say but when I ask him to put whatever he has said to me on phone in an email he doesnt reply at all.
And to mention, he doesnt have any documents of mine. I even didnt fill any I9 form, what ever he has is the only agreement that I signed and social security number that I emailed him to run my pay roll.
After the argument I even requested him to send my original agreement signed by two parties. I only had the agreement signed by me, he even didnt send me the agreement with his sign on it even after repeated requests.
Now he doesnt even care to answer my calls or emails. I am really tensed. I am getting opportunities from vendor that I worked with but I am afraid he would sue me. Please help me What to do. I am really really frustrated, tensed and I can't express how I feel right now.
I want to get out of the contract and work with the vendor if Possible.
Please explain me how can I tackle this problem?
I would be really very very thankful to you.
Thanks,
Uday

Mostly what is you said I feel is correct...though the analysis that a specific service center is slow or fast might not. These opinions are practically like a pendulum! That said if you look at recent data on EB2-I approvals you would see there are more approvals at NSC.
Secondy, even if there are more applications submitted to a NSC or TSC (after the geographic distribution of I-485 filing since Jul 30, 2007). USCIS always redistributes them among the centers to even out the workload depending on the capacity of each center.
this is mainly due to July VISA Bulletin fiasco and thousands were allowed to apply for their I-485, due to USCIS/DOL July 2007 VB.
one moe reason lots of Citizenship petitions were also filed in July 2007 to take advantage of old fees structure.
All countries of chargeability and employment categories were made current, since Dol was frustrated with USCIS's slow processing rate for I-485 and had Dol not made the VB current USCIS would have wasted few thousand VISA numbers as usual.
Silverlining is that we were all given freedom of using EAD and get new jobs or promotions using the AC-21 provisions...but the long term side effect is the slow moment we are seeing for the processing dates.
NSC is slow since lots of high tech H1-B employers are from CA and WA states and they applied truck load of I-485 versus the folks in Texas Service centre.
We are all hoping that once USCIS is out of this naturalization processing pressure before the elections, they would start processing the July-aug 2007 I-485 petitions.

The media caters to its audience just like any other business nterested in its own customers. When markets worldwide rise or fall in response to election results in India, it gets major media attention everywhere because the audience is interested. Diwali is as unimportant in America as Thanksgiving in the U.K. There is no point fretting over it. Diwali could become newsworthy when people globally start tracking shopping sales in India since their businesses might depend on them. It's better to sharpen our skills so that we can seamlessly join the global highway than to sit on the sides cursing those passing by that they don't care about us.
Strangely google.com did show a logo in 2008 .. I wonder what made them feel that their audience has changed? Is it a sign that immigrants from India are becoming increasingly irrelevant or the numbers are dwindling or there is simply a unofficial policy to just ignore the brownies (please no offence and dont take it too seriously) ;)

There were few employers too who attended the rally because they believed in the cause.
I spoke to a French guy, forgot his IV handle, he got his EAD recently, he flew all the way from Miami, he googled up immigration and found IV 2 weeks back, looked at the rally stuff and came and attended the rally.
Hats of to all these people who have respected IV with passion.

from www.kenrockwell.com (http://www.kenrockwell.com) , hope this will help
There was a problem in the first two of seven D70s I've used. The focus calibration was off by about a tenth of a millimeter. This means that your images will not be focused on your subject, but instead on something somewhat behind your subject. Don't confuse this with the common mistake of having selected the wrong AF area or otherwise pointing the AF sensor to the side of your subject. Nikon of course will adjust this under warranty if it's a problem. With common f/3.5 and slower lenses it's not much of a problem, and at regular shooting apertures of f/8 or so its completely invisible. Some people incorrectly call this the "backfocus" problem.
On the other hand, if you have fast lenses that alone cost more than the complete D70 kit and you shoot them wide open you ought to check your camera. My $1,700 28mm f/1.4 lens (http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/2814af.htm) wide open at f/1.4 was useless on two cameras, but of course OK at normal apertures. You won't see this through the finder. You have to look at the images at 100% on your computer. It's simply the image being focused on something just a little behind where it should have, which is usually invisible if you have enough depth of field, and of course Nikon will stand behind it if it really is a problem. The samples I've used in May 2004 now seem AOK and mine is perfect, even at f/1.4.
Heck, my D70 focused better than any other camera I've owned, even with my f/1.4 lenses.
Testing this is simple. Just go make at least a dozen photos with your lens wide open and look at the results at 100% on your computer. See if the camera really focused where it should have. If you haven't done this kind of test before there's the potential that your technique may be off and not looked for it before, but you get the idea. The only concern here is that you need to have the focus be where you put it.
This miscalibration is the reason some people think their D70 images are soft. They aren't soft; they simply are focused on the wrong thing!
If your camera is out of adjustment, which I only saw on some of the very first samples, of course it's covered under warranty. If you are crazy, like this guy here (http://dvdhelp.narod.ru/D70_back_focus.html) (look out, it's a slow loading page), you can use a nail to mess it up further and void your warranty at the same time. I don't have this much guts; the D70 has a year warranty and I know your camera isn't that old! On the other hand, I respect his innovative spirit and it's this pioneering spirit which makes him an honorary American as far as I'm concerned. Please use a real Allen wrench to make these adjustments, and remember that Nikon will do it correctly for you for free under warranty and probably clean your camera as well at the same time!

But for small companies / consultants, There will be a definite query / admin process is waiting for you.
My case is very genuine... I am working for this company since 2005 and I am the only one H1B employee.
I got my eb-3 140 approved from this employer only ...
And my wage is always above the determineed wages in Labor / LCA ...No gap in paychecks ...
Compnay also in profit mode always ...
So they approved my h1 extn 2 times in the past and approved my 140 also. Now what the heck they got doubt in the employer ...
