I am in U.S. and I applied here.
do I still need that I-601?
More likely you will need it if you leave the country.

I saw the poll in the morning and voted FOR making this a paid site, but going through the discussions and a little bit of soul searching (slow day at work :p) i am a bit wary about making it a paid site now.
As much as i would like to see the riff-raff (pardon the expression) go away, maybe we should be more inclusive then exclusive (?). Not everyone is an early adoptor, it took me a while to contribute as well, but i did eventually turn around and contributed the lil bit i could.
Thats just my take, and excuse the rather altruistic title of my post.

I am little bit worried because IO needs to go to HO and get approval before they can approve an applications due to pending name check over 180 days. there was law suite and Judge has forced USCIS issue green card if name check has been pending over 180 days but, there has been new memo from USCIS field director and IO has to write to HO and get approval in these cases.. I am not sure whether an IO will be willing to go head office for an applicant.

EB2 RIR/India
PD: Nov 2001
Labor Certification: March 2006
I-140: Approval April 2006
I-485 -May 2006
Finger Printing: June 2006
It took almost 4 1/2 years to get the labor certification and now its almost 17 months since my I-485 is pending approval. Took the path of writing to the FL, State Senator, Local Congressman and was fortunate to receive their response suggesting that its stuck in the namecheck stage and will have to wait for it to be completed. It has become a nightmare.... The only update in my case used to be whenever I initiate a service request. Now what is that which I can do to come out of this riddle....
Any suggestion in this regard is highly appreciated !!!!
Your application may be just sitting in their shelf because of name hits. The "in process" letter that FBI sends doesn't indicate much. Depending on how popular one's name is one might be in the namecheck hole for 4+ years.

After my AP approval notice email, all our(four) 485s got an LUD on Mar 31st 2009.
I applied AP only for myself and rest of the family did not.Service center is NSC. 485 recpt date is sept 11 2007.PD 2006 eb3/I. But we were issued one year EAD though eligible for 2 years since our PD is not current. Could it be because they sent 2nd FP notices? Are they sending FP notices for the second time these days? I heard some where that USCIS now can keep the FP notices valid for longer time than 15 months. We did ours in 2007 october. I know that USCIS has strange ways of dealing with things. But still....any insight is appreciated.
thank you

Can somebody post their experience.
Thanks
You want to know the "experiences" of people on how to take a photocopy ? I believe you got your GC in EB-2 category, so you should be skilled enough to know this.

You get a life you coward.
You posted junk and did not do anything on IV in the last 1 year. Now suddenly when your dates are not available you come here to teach others to get a life.
Why don't you get a life and go back to India and get a life there. If you are happy in Canada, then be happy there. Do not teach us. For all of us you are simply a coward who ran away from problems rather than face and fight it. And why do you care about Fraud etc.. if you are in Canada driving Taxi!!!!!
You seem to be an anti-immigrant to me. We have seen many in the last few days and they were rightfully kicked out.
Are u a crazy ??? He is not teaching you (Looks like you need some teaching anyway)
Just a question , how are you fighting the immigration war.. (You fight a war , and solve a problem)
Anyone has the right to express his opinion. You start calling people coward..
If you have nothing in India to cherish for, Doesn't mean that other people dont have it either?

I looked at the pdf briefly but did not completely understand what changes are proposed for H1b in the bill.
Below are some per my understanding. And also below are questions.
1) Now it looks like H1b requires PERM type recruitment. Is it only for new H1bs or also for extensions & Transfers?? Most of us are already in our 7th/8th year extensions and some others are in 9th & 10th years. It will impact further extensions or transfers and will jeopardize our GC process.
2) These changes would unnecessarily scare away genuine employers as it is like a mini- GC perm process. They may settle for an unqualified or less qualified citizen instead of hiring a highly qualified H1b suitable for the job.

Your attoney should be able to defend your case based on you salary more than PW.
The GC process is for future employement, your bosses ability to pay exists since he has paid you more salary than PW.
Your employer may be making loss every year, but he is paying you more than PW. Now your salary in itself is an expense for employer, so the fact that he is paying you may be making his financials look a little weak in term of profit loss.
Look at other threads on RFE issues, and talk to your lawyer.
I think you are fine.

Hi core members,
I am willing to play a more active part in this if you can utilise me in anyway. I live in Redmond WA and my wife works in a major software company. I will be completing my 6 years on H1 early next month so I should have plenty of time on my hands. I was working full time in a processor company as a Hardware Design Engineer, most of these 6 years..but unfortunately my GC with them wasn't going anywhere so we decided to move from Austin to Seattle a year and a half back. We didn't envision the retro problem in the Eb2 category and just missed the bus as our PERM filing(from my wife's employer) was a tad too late. My H1 was initially expiring in June so I thought it was too late to apply last year when I saw the retro in EB2. I wish I had applied for my GC somewhere at that stage as I was able to recapture some time on my H and also the I140 filings seem to be a lot quicker this year.
But whats gone is gone....truth of the matter is that I will have to wait for the backlog to clear up...which could take years without legislation.
I would like to play a more active role with trying to garner support for the Skill bill, so please let me know if I can help with anything.
Regards

The conventional wisdom, overall, in DC is that when it comes to Legal EB immigration, Republicans are our friends.
If you are an illegal Democrats are your friends.
These days, the dems and republicans have joined hands against illegal variety. There hasnt been a litmus test of legal immigration on Dems or Republicans. I dont think S 1932 was any indication on where congress stands on our issue. S 1932 was a budget reconcilation bill and they had bigger fish to fry: Budget reconcilation. In order to garner support from their own party, republican leadership had to drop immigration and other non budget related things from 1932. Tancredo and Smith can only have fun as long as there is tough opposition to any bill. On bills of like PACE having 60 senators and hopefully majority on board, Tancredo, Byrd, Smith and cheerleaders like him may not have bargaining power they had during 1932

I don't like idea of making IV a commercial-type business. IV is for legal immigrants and it should be funded by Legal Immigrants, however, practically its not that easy as it sounds, and more importantly its not working enough for IV to operate and generate results that we are waiting for.
Problem is not that we don�t have money as small as $20, issue is we don�t want to pay. The reasons could be a)- we don�t understand importance of IV, b)- don�t trust IV fund management, c)- love freebies, d)- don�t have money e)- everything else.
Lets talk about e)- there are 31000 reasons not to donate to IV. Well no matter how hard we push there will be people who will never contribute. I met quite a few who been saying �yeah� for quite sometime and visit IV almost daily but have not contributed $0.01. Can�t help them who can�t help themselves.
d)- don�t have money: smells fishy, we are Hi-Tech workers, get paid really good and can�t donate $20, I don�t buy this idea. Better explain me next time.
c)- love freebies: its great concept, I like it too, but when IV is fighting for us, the whole legal immigrant community, can�t we donate $20 for our own future. Lets take it as a lottery, we buy ticket, we may win and may not win, compare it to IV, we donate to IV, IV may be able to resolve issue before we even reach there in GC process (just like name check), and IV may not help retrogration, but still we come to forum, get information about process, discuss our own case, get seniors/gurus review of our own GC case/issues. We can�t go wrong with that. Its doable, just $20 for all this.
b)- IV fund management: well IV has 25000 dedicated registered members, WOW, but way more than that IV has un-registered unknown number of enemies. Exposing everything on web is not a great idea, its like playing poker with your cards open. IV registration process is very simple and hence ANYONE can join and get sensitive info very easily and may use it against us. To protect that info IV is working on local chapters, local chapter registration is based on personal interaction, almost guarantees us that member is really legal immigrant. Once we are local chapter member then you get all such info in personal Inbox. You can see, verify, and discuss IV spending, see all transparent at this state chapter level. Just join them, no fee, its free!
a)- don�t understand importance of IV: this is biggest single factor so far, folks who are in their 1-3 years of H1, assumes that by the time they will come to advanced stage of GC everything will smooth by then, as of today there is no reason for them to think about it. One very huge mistake they are making of thinking that GC queue will decrease when they get in line. It won�t. It will keep increasing exponentially simply because number of cases come in line are far more than number of cases exit the line.
Delta = (# of new cases in the line) � (# of cases exiting from line)
Trust me this Delta is getting bigger and bigger for you. Donating to IV may not seem important right now, think again you are going to invest in your future. IV may resolve this issues before you reach there. Ultimately saving you 2-3 yeas in GC process, you can earn more $$ in those 2-3 years and enjoy GC benefit too.
Wow, all this explaining to get $20 from each member. Please point out if there are other reasons for not donating to IV.

Come-on members who have not contributed at all. Small donation of $25 or $50 will not hurt your pocket. Only if 2000 members contribute $25/- , it will sum upto 50K.
A small contribution of $50 is nothing, if you care about the cause IV is fighting for. Core members and other senior member are putting their time, money and energy to get relief from this broken EB system. Do your part by making a small donation.
Please, please come forward. Ask you friends to make small contribution.
The sad part is:
About 700-800 out of 3000 have contributed. And they are contributing again and again. Many of them have crossed $500 in personal contributions.
The other 2200 members have contributed nothing

Firstly, I am not a lawyer and I would recommend that you get a lawyer to help out.
As mentioned before this is a civil lawsuit and not a crimial lawsuit. Impact on GC should not be a factor but consult an immigration lawyer.
Now depending on the state law you should not be liable for Cars2 through Cars7. It could easily be argued that they did not leave a safe distance between them and hence the ripple effect. What the insurance determines is the fault is not necessarily how the law would interpret it. So if you insurance of any of the car insurance assign percentages of fault, it is pretty much based on their calculations. Did you recieve a traffic citation? If so did it indicate that you were at fault for all the subsequent accidents? Did you contest the citation? If so what was the outcome. If you contested the citation and got the charges dropped you have a stronger case against each of the other plaintiffs.
Try to settle out of court and get the lawyers to drop the case. The way you do that is to claim that you don't have any money. Remember the lawyers for each of the plaintiffs have done an asset check on you and they know how much you have. Although the judge could request that each of the transactions to reverse. Do the following:
Read this post: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=249649#post249649
1. Take out second mortage on the house (if you own it) and transfer cash to a relative's name in India
2. Sell cars and lease new cars
3. Cash savings etc should be transferred to relative's names in India.
Show the lawyers you don't have any money and they will not be able to recover their fees from this lawsuit. Do not capitualte to threats. Instead offer to settle out of court. Let them come up with the offer and then bargain like hell.
I hope this helps. If you need to talk more send me a private message.

In your contributions page, you are asking for only $200 from each person. Please raise it to more. I don't think $200 per person will do justice for the kind of work that is ahead of us. If Comprehensive Immigration Reform fails, we will need even more lobbyist time to introduce it in other bills and then get it through the House.
I just sent $500 by bill pay and that is only a fraction of the benefit if I were to get my GC sooner.
