I'm from ATL and the latest i could get an infopass at ATL local office is on August 12th. My EAD expires Aug 22nd. I will have to ask him what to . Does anbody know if there is an interim EAD and if so, will they give it immediately or is there a "process" for that also.
Hi
Could someone please help me? I was trying to schedule an InfoPass appointment, ontheir website,
I clicked on
You need Service on a case that has already been filed
Then next page clicked on
EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.
Give me following message:
At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later.
Return to USCIS On-Line
I was wondering how you were able to schedule an appointment? I would appreciate if you could help me in this.
Regards,
GCCovet

Every time someone comes up with something new they get shot down here by "certain" other members. They try to find reasons to say it was a bad idea rather than saying something constructive. Give this guy a chance.
...and what's the point of this discussion here? The point is not lost on anyone here that such bill(s) are needed and passed. So I am not quite sure what you hope to achieve by this poll - will this lead to any action on your part to write up such a bill or talk to your congressmen/women about the points discussed here? :confused:
I think a lot of people here just like to discuss the hell out of this topic just make themselves feel better! :rolleyes:

My son was born physically disabled (cerebral palsy). He his wheel-chaired bound and is totally dependent on us. He speaks and understands everything. He went to High School here,and got his Diploma and Certificates. That's why when me and my wife came here in 1992, from Bombay, India for my son's operation and came with B-2 visas medical visa. By the doctor letters our visa had continued for three and half years, and temporary work permit for two years only. Then we tried to change our status, but that didn't work out We also went to the INS local office, they advised us at that time it was better for us not to change our status. We did not get a deportation letter. We got a letter from INS saying that had they had CLOSE our case. We all three have SSN.
My employer filed for LC in 01 and approved in 06. Also my brother filed for I130 in 01. In Feb 06 filed for I140 and approved in July 06. Due to backlog with the Labor Dept, my son is now 23. So my son can not file for I485 with me. He also can not file for PERM because he is disabled. Though he is very good at computers but who would hire a disabled person.
PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!

God help EB3I
I am not offending any one and that is not even my intention.
God already helped us with good jobs. EB3 I waiting numbers are around 60,000. I am sure at least 20,000 of them are either IV members or silent members. If half of 20K contribute just $100 (Hundred) dollars, that will be a million dollar kitty which will make HUGE impact during lame duck session. Any takers? But every one has to contribute.
God will not come to our rescue when we can help ourselves.

Hi all,
Just wanted to rop by and say I received my welcome email today.
Been here since 2001, but my company wouldn't let me file labor until December 2004.
Good luck all, and keep the faith.

wow that's a long wait to file your labor. Well in any event you got your GC and i wish you could have gotten it sooner since IMO you should have filed your labor much sooner. Good luck in all that you have planned on doing.

Lets look at Rep. Smith - Reclaim American Jobs Caucus | Congressman Lamar Smith (http://lamarsmith.house.gov/Issues/Issue/?IssueID=14781)
he is against amnesty and for border control.
--> the cir menendez bill has all the border control provisions that the republicans want (in fact, it is entirely what they want) - so one issue is addressed.
--> illegal immigrants who are already in the country - record number of them have been deported in the 2 years under this administration (more than the republican presidents in the past!), trying to deport them all will take billions of dollars (which the govt does not have - or will it be charged on the legal immigrants?). Yes, one should not support lawbreakers, but just saying that does not solve the problems......what proposals are there that will address the illegal immigrants? nothing.
the talking points are:
border control, we are against amnesty. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Provide solutions, if not a path towards legalization with due fines, what alternative do you suggest?
Lamar Smith's webpage:
�
--> Sounds pro legal immigrants right. For now, yes.
--> How many of the H4 spouses said they have no intention of working in the US in the visa interview? How long before they come for us, for using the legal immigration loopholes to enter the job market? Is it fair for qualified spouses to stay home when they can contribute to the economy - absolutely not!! But in the eyes of the americans, are they taking away the jobs? absolutely!
IF not now, these very people will come after us too..
what do you think?
Frankly, I have not yet heard any noise being created regarding H4s converting to H1s and joining the workforce, legally.
If someone who came here on an H4/F2, upgrades their skillset via formal education (no issues in this case!) or via professional training and the ability to fake experience and sell it to land a "project" (no legal issues here, only moral issues and hats off to their guts.. How do they do that??) then they absolutely deserve to be in the workforce.
There is a lot of noise about H1Bs but most of it was focussed on Indian IT giants locking up the H1Bs by the 1000s and (in the anti-immigrant lobby's words) "bring in cheap labor from India". Another blemish brought about on H1B is "gross exploitation of systemic loopholes by IT consulting companies (mostly owned by Indians) ". These issues are being addressed by USCIS by increasing scruitny before issuing new H1B approvals.
If your company has played by the rules, your credentials are not flawed, there is very little to worry about.

Hi All -
My post has no relevance to this thread and my apologies for that.
I have been trying to find the latest CIR thread by Pappu (where he talks about it being introduced) from last week (or the week before ?!) but was unable to locate it.
Could someone please point me to that ? No matter how bleak the chances are for it's passing, I would still like to follow it since it's our only hope at this moment.
Thanks

The online status that we see currently on USCIS website can be improved to a great extent. $$$ spent to improve the system will be recouped in few years with savings elsewhere.
Current status: The two primary ways the USCIS connects with its customers are USCIS online case status and monthly processing time update. They both are expense free unlike a CS agent that handles the call and needs to be paid. But those two primary methods are a butt of all jokes and useless in its current form.
Objective: Improve the quality of USCIS online status by integrating it with monthly processing time update. Any case which is beyond processing time frame should get atleast one qualitative and progressive update every month. Institute a system to track the lifecycle of a case. The lifecycle starts from entry of a petition/application into USCIS system and ends with either approval/denial.
Pros:
1> provides a great deal of transparency to the system. Due to the improved transparency, efficiency becomes a part of the process.
2> Reduce the traffic in USCIS phone lines thereby reliving $$$ from customer service.
3> Reduce Infopass appointments thereby relieving maintenance $$$ from that system.
Officers who deal with Infopass can spend their time productively.
4> Reduce SR. Saves Immigrants $$$ and relieves USCIS resources who are handling SR request.
5> This improvement is not temporary and will keep yielding rewards as long as the USCIS is in the business of receiving/processing/adjudicating immigration petitions.
Cons:
1> USCIS needs to shell out a good $$$$ to tighten up their IT system, gather info from systems, integrate the online reporting tool with their monthly processing time update.

Shyam: Thank you for your hospitality. You have made me & manish feel at home. Those dosa's were tasty and we also had nice conversation about general issues in the kitchen.
--sri
My wife attended the rally yesterday and this is what she wrote her friends who didn't come to the rally!
Yesterday, Shyam, Isha and I spent all day in DC as part of immigrationvoice, a grassroots non-profit organization that acts as an interface between highly skilled immigrants and the legislative and executive branches of the government. It was a wonderful experience. Over thousand people met at the foot of the Washington monument, and walked all the way to the US capitol. The organization had made good arrangements. Its amazing how people from all over the country were there and very few local people. One South African couple had driven on Monday from Indiana and came to the rally to celebrate the husband's birthday!! He wanted to be a part of this rally as a present for his birthday. We had 2 people - Manish and Sri, from New Hampshire staying with us on Monday who came just for the rally. There were some british, some chinese along with we Desis.
The need for the rally brought to light the real issues -
Most of us may have applied for our I-485 Step 3 in the greencard process, in July 2007, but that doesn't mean we will get our green cards soon. The govt accepts only 140000 applications a year and only 9000 are allocated to Indians in all categories.
Lawmakers and congress are confused when they think of immigrants - they club legal and illegal together. Even the Seattle senator who addressed the gathering yesterday made the same mistake. He said its good that you guys are out here so the congress can see its not only the janitors and others who have immigration issues but also highly skilled immigrants! No mention of legal. He used his time to promote the democratic party and we tried to remind him we don't have voting rights even though we pay the same taxes and work like everyone else!
We have to do something to be heard and heard right!
Thats the beauty of this country you can reach out to people in the highest positions and get heard. When the voice is collective its even more powerful. Shyam along with many others met with many congressmen and senators over the span on 2 days to explain our plight to them. One congresswoman mentioned that when a bill comes to vote in congress she polls the number of phone calls and emails she gets from her constituency and submits her votes accordingly. I was surprised to see how much actually our voice means.
We don't realize the power we possess since we are sitting in our own life bubbles of work, home, stress, kids and everything that most often swallows our individuality and ability to think. We need to step up think for ourselves and and help ourselves and everyone else in the process.
Like Sheela murthy, one of the leading immigration lawyers, said that yesterday's rally and the forum immigrationvoice.org (https://mail.medimmune.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://immigrationvoice.org/) may not make an immediate impact. But we are truly paving the way for the future of legal immigrants to the US.
The forum is the only organized and collective way to get out our frustration against the system! So many people don't understand the hardships and seriousness of the greencard issues. Especially the people who got their greencards pre 2001 era! If you are interested in finding out more about the forum and the need for high level lobbying please visit immigrationvoice.org (https://mail.medimmune.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://immigrationvoice.org/). If you were ever stuck in the green card rut or you or you have family who are applying, please spread the word and join the fight!

Finally I was greened after 4 years and 3 months from my I-140 approval date.
I opened a SR yesterday and today my CPO e-mail came to my mailbox. However my wife's status says
"On August 2, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
Do you know what does it mean?:confused:
I am not sure whether opening a SR helped or not. Good luck to everyone. Remember GC is something but not everything in life. Being healthy and spending quality time with your family are more important than GC.
We just got greened this morning...was on the call with USCIS Cust Service to open an expedite request (a 3rd attempt!!) for my AP and when I refreshed the Case Status Online portal page...saw the LUD.
Says they actually approved and ordered card production on 8/2/2010...
Good luck to everyone else waiting...I know its frustrating...
