Thanks guys .... for coming behind me .. Shane Warne or Purple Haze won't satisfy you guys .. Y dont we discuss how Kanimozhi's discontent couldn't play spoil sport for the new govt and how Azhagiri got cornered with chemicals and fertilizers (these 2 are not any interntaional fame for an american 'tunnel rat' to know abt them).
Above all I am here to get some information to bring a company which violates rules to authorities, nothing more nothing less and not here to do any name calling of mud slinging.
Good job. I see B1 visa violations in my client place where I work currently(will post it shortly in donor forum). Would you mind joining your state chapter so that we all know who you are?

It will not help. Your aliases will be checked too. If you look at the names of 3000 or people stuck in name check, it is mostly Indians, Chinese, Russsians and a smattering of some Arab names from all over the world including middle east and Africa. Most are men. Evidently, this is racial and religious profiling based on "classified criterion". It will be interesting if AILA files a class action suit against FBI/USCIS by a whole class of people targetted, who in most cases have nothing to do with any crime.

Look up the names of people stuck in name check to see how common names like Singh, Kaur and Kumar are caught up. Shows how intelligent the alogrithm is!
my lastname is unique.
will it help ?

You don't need A# number from I140.
When you give First name, last name and birth date. They can pull all your immigration applications submitted previously. If you have I140 approved that will show them in database.

Hello ajaysuri, Nil, saralayaar, trueguy and all those who support this idea,
I just happened to look at this thread and I give my 100% support to this idea.
I will mail the letter mentioned at page 10.
Please let me know what else I can do.
I think IV core has gone on long vacation or they already got their GCs.

You read my mind.
Guys,
Also I have analyzed that people who have a date in 2008 somehow predict that the dates might move to 2008 and people who have a PD of July predict that dates will move to August . This is just an observation and nothing more , and if you go through the threads thats exactly what you will see.

MY friend just spoke to Lingo, they are coming up a cheaper(may be $1 or $2 cheap) plan with unlimited to India/China and 101 countries and also can be used from a registered cellphone incase you do not have internet for any reason.
So, wait for couple of weeks and then choose the right one.

You are wrong. Even with valid H visa you need TV for UK. My wife had valid H4 visa in passport during her last visit to India and she had to return home from the airport and pay extra $ 250 and travel next day via Paris.
According to check in agent per UK rules even if you have a valid visa but have not travelled intyernationally within last 12 months you need TV.
So its not just for ppl who have AP or expired visa, thoise who have valid H visas but havent travelled out in last 12 months also need it.
For those in South ( Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana) best way to go to India is new Emirates direct flight between Houston and Dubai and then onward to India.
I have had 3-4 friends fly this route since they started flying in November 2007 and they have nothing but praise for everything. These guys have excellent food and entertainment and no transit visa hassels plus duty free sopping in Dubai is good.

We have no idea how many are legally porting from EB3 to EB2. I am sure many are trying but the data is not available. I dont know how you will move forward without such information.

My lawyer's office is saying that Non Immigrant Visa number is Control number, but what I heard and looking at different websites including here, I think it is the red number not control number.
Is there a place I can verify this? What is effect on the application if they put control number? will that affect processing of my application in any way ?

Hi Canadian_Dream,
Congratulations on 485 approval...
Can you please brief us abt the priority dates, ur country of all applications. And also plz tell whether you had same A#s on both 485 applications.
It will be really helpful for us...Thanks in advance.
Pappu,
I agree with you on this, there is some truth to this that there could be delays when there are multiple filings. In fact this is the first time when USCIS has to deal with so many multiple filings, a very few lawyers have any direct experience with it. From USCIS Standard Operating Procedure, there is a mention of "second filing" (not duplicate filing) in the following places:
1. Procedural Overview (Page 4)
2. File Review (Page 46)
3. Interview Waiver Criteria (Page 185)
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
From the link above:
In (1) and (2) above it says second filing should be handled under the normal process. Although if different A# are assigned case goes to CRU (case resolution unit). But if A# assigned are same, you are more or less processed like a normal case. The last part (3) interview waiver criteria, multiple filing is mentioned as one of the deviations from interview waiver criteria but it NOT the interview criteria itself. In the end processing time for multiple filing is very much up to the discretion of adjudicating officer. Also, I didn't find any reason to believe that there could be issues with security check with multiple filings.
I think all of us multiple filers can breathe easy if our cases are filed clearly with full disclosure of information without any intended willful violation.
I am a multiple filer too, my I-485 application filed in early June was approved last week. I hope this gives some reason for optimism for us multiple filers. Good luck to everyone. BTW: I am still a contributing member and will continue to hang out at IV.

this is such an outrage!..is this true or made up..
subject should read "have you done any research"?
It amazes me that we qualified and professional people all buy in to what ever we read on the internet, and never perform our own research.
The source is often cited as The Awakening Ray, Vol. 4 No. 5, The Gnostic Centre Reproduced in Niti issue of April, 2002 at p. 10 a periodic publication of Bharat Vikas Parishad, Delhi.
It is a general misconception that this is a part of Lord McCauley’s speech to British Parliament because Lord McCauley arrived in India on 10th June 1834 and returned to England in early 1838. If in 1835 he was in India then how could he have delivered a speech in the British Parliament. Let me also add that he arrived in India by a 3 month long journey by ship so there is no chance that the Lord made a quick visit to England for delivering this speech.
I also found this interesting.
A dubious quotation, a controversial reputation: the merits of Lord Macaulay
Koenraad Elst discovers through a wrong quotation attributed to Lord Macaulay how right the anglicizer of Indian culture was, or at least how right his intentions were, subjectively.
http://koenraadelst.bharatvani.org/articles/hinduism/macaulay.html
also
http://www.tamilnation.org/culture/macaulay.htm
Here's a question for you it's 2008, what does a statement made in 1835 have to do with immigration into the USA?
For example 27th Oct 1838 the Missouri Governor (LW Boggs) issued extermination order against Mormons allowing for Mormons to be shot on sight. But Mitt Romney is safe to campaign there because the order was rescinded on 25th June 1976
It's 2008 people and this is a USA immigration forum, not the anti-British forum.

Don't think USA is like India where you can do something forcefully.
You are right.
Like or unlike India, in the USA you can do what you want "peacefully" (do not know about forcefully, and not interested either). BTW that is ONE reason why this country is such a popular destination for so many.

If there are 140K visas then EB3 category will get 140,000%28.7 = 40180
NACARA program = 40180-5000=35180
(refer Visa Bulletin October 2009 (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4575.html)
Employment Third Preference Other Workers Category: Section 203(e) of the NACARA, as amended by Section 1(e) of Pub. L. 105-139, provides that once the Employment Third Preference Other Worker (EW) cut-off date has reached the priority date of the latest EW petition approved prior to November 19, 1997, the 10,000 EW numbers available for a fiscal year are to be reduced by up to 5,000 annually beginning in the following fiscal year. This reduction is to be made for as long as necessary to offset adjustments under the NACARA program. Since the EW cut-off date reached November 19, 1997 during Fiscal Year 2001, the reduction in the EW annual limit to 5,000 began in Fiscal Year 2002)
deduct 15% for consular processing = 29903
again consider 5 different Chargeability Areas
such as CHINA mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, PHILIP-PINES and rest = 29903/5= 5980
Worst case scenario, USCIS will have 5980 visas available for FY 2010.
Now, if you compare data published by USCIS on pending cases can we guess
we should see forward movement for EB3I at least July-2002 by end of FY 2010 ?
Is it fair assessment?

Hello every one,
I am starting this thread for all of us not to just think about the GC process. If any one is residing here for 10 years without GC, think about making a law which can lead us to Citizenship. My thoughts on this:
Many of our colleagues who landed with us during the late 90s (1998, 1999) and early 2000, who got their GC without any issues are now Citizens or waiting to become Citizen soon.
What is our status?. Just think. Still we are strugling to get the GC. Even by law change, if we are getting the GC this year (by GOD's Grace), then we need to wait for another 5 years from now (approximately 2014). Many persons like me who have come to this Country in their later career will be very much affected due to this delay (we have lot of other issues like the dependents reaching the age of 21 etc., College, University fees etc.,).
Core team and every one, please consider this and try to lobby for getting the citizenship without further wait if the persons satisfy the folowing conditions:
1. If they are legally here for 10 years (With approved I-140 and waiting for Adjustment of Status without current date).
2. If they have earned full 40 points in Social Security
3. If they have paid the tax continuously for 10 years
4. If they own a house and paying Mortgage (adding weightage to the Economy boost)
and
5. If they do not have any criminal records in these 10 years.
Please again do not just concentrate on the GC issues. Consider this and if any one can come with a letter draft with legal openion, we can send it to all Congress members, State Governers etc.,
Hope the members and the Core team consider this issue. I have one more thread on this, which I started some months back but the response was not that good. If every one of us unite on this and raise this to the Congress, I think the new Government may consider as this is very genuine.
While lobbying for IV we made a point to couple of congressmen that years in waiting for GC should be counted towards citizinship. Both of them agreed to it in principle but then that was it.

Like everyone else i periodically come to IV and get to know the trends of whats happening. Thanks to everyone like qsek,teddy,vdlrao and many more who are contributing and trying to get some clarity into the backlog mess.
Having made a one time contribution was enough to get access to donor forum or so i thought. I really did not know that you need to have a recurring payment to get access to the donor forum.Most paid content websites may have that model but somehow I am uncomfortable with that idea here, and i am sure there are others who may feel the same.
Come up with a one time payment for one years access. It could be 300.00 USD to start with which is the same as 25.00 USD for 12 months which is the minimum you guys have set up. Many more will be comfortable with that.
Its just like rubbing me on the right side and you get my money ;), a trick which my wife exploits to the fullest :rolleyes:

I am telling you, this is all great!!. It is working, do not doubt it. It has to be this way for a news story. This makes a great story. Also canceling orders sends wrong messages, we care for the troops fighting for us, Why cancel.
I think that is a smart response from USCIS. The good news is, it will not backfire the way some people were wondering... and also that the media will cover it.
