I am EB2-I with PD of Aug 02, still waiting for approval of 485. July07 concurrent filer. 140 was approved in Sept08.
And this is the interesting part. The online status still shows 140 as pending. No email either, just a soft LUD on the online status. USCIS is being truly erratic. A maverick?
You should fill out a form with the Ombudsman. Just google for it. They should help you with your case.
Is your NC cleared? Have you taken an infopass to confirm your biometrics and NC is all clear? There have been cases where fingerprinting was done but it wasn't reflected in the case status.

Basically they want to prevent offshoring legally... meaning
if microsoft wants job done.. hire locally.. or bring people on direct H1 so they net the taxes. or do the job overseas.
If Infosys brings people - do not let them work in CIsco, microsoft or, HP... that way they put overseas company OUT OF Business
USA needs fruit pickers not hi tec, this can be outsourced..

check this statement by lawyer
"Depending upon where you are from, your home consulate may (most likely will) accept an application for consular immigrant visa processing. Go to the main ImmInfo.com site and read the article and other materials on "AC I-140" processing. Use the search feature if you can't otherwise find these materials.
You DO NOT have to abandon your AOS. It can continue while you pursue a consular application at the same time. When you get your green card via consular processing and return to the US, you can withdraw your AOS application at that time. Until then, it stays on file. You may use your AP and EAD while you are doing this.
We have process more than a thousand cases via this procedure. It is nothing exotic. Indeed, a substantial number of people who still visit this forum are former clients of ours who did this exact same procedure."

Thankyou very much for your support, folks!!!!. Just a reminder, if you pay by Paypal or Credit Card 4-5% of your contribution goes out as transaction fees. So Check is the best payment method, especially when you're contributing more than $100.
------------------------------------------
Personal Check in Mail: You can send us a physical check. Since there is no transaction fee involved, this is our most preferred method. Most banks now provide a feature called BillPay by which you can send a check to anyone directly from your Bank's website free of cost. Make the checks payable to Immigration Voice and send it to the following address.

It is a personal choice plus the level of risk you take, I bought my house before my GC was approved and here I am now. Setting aside GC concern, the only problem you might face is securing a loan with good rate, all lowest rate that you notice in internet banner or Bank flyer is not applicable to you, simple reason H1b Visa is considered as temporary Visa, once your loan application is taken by a banker, one of the question in loan app. pertain to Citizenship, if you're US citizen or GC holder then chances of getting loan with lower rate is higher(though many factors contribute to lower rate and loan approval), but if a person on H1B visa approach for a home loan, then Under writers perceive you as high risk borrower, some bank may deny loan if you claim as H1B visa holder, but some banks will approve loan but on higher rate.
In my case I was on EAD when my loan was approved, it was a hell lot of problem in convincing UW to approve loan, I approached my lawyer to get a letter stating that a person on EAD is one step closer to GC to get final approval, still I ended up taking 0.25 % more rate.
Good Luck

This was discussed earlier. Jaime proposed it and lot were interested in doing in it..may be this is the right time for us revisit it.
It works this way.. Each of us need to send their local senators a stopper and a personalized memo saying 'tax paying legal immigrant since year <ur year of entry>..no green card because of country cap limit and visa number wastage each year by USCIS..We would want congress to pass a legislature to recapture the unused visa numbers. We are NOT asking for H1 increase.. The reverse migration is already in progress and might become severe without any congressional inaction.'
This could work because we have atleast 2000 active members and there are around 100 senators. If each of members could send a stopper(cost around 10 dollars each) to two senators, each of the senators would receive forty to fifty stoppers. It will atleast gain us the much needed Media publicity.
The problem with us is most of the members don't want to show up in public. I hate it but to make thousands to walk on streets it takes a lot of money and effort and at the end not many people would show up.
I know I am ignoring the house representatives completely..but we make enough noise with senators it might just serve the purpose. Moreover, I think te house is not that against legal immigration.
Any thoughts..

Are you saying IV can't find anyone IV trust to do this, or nobody in IV core thinks it is woth it to do some extra leg work? I don't think IV has the luxury of not doing the leg work. Every peny counts.
buddy...iv core are not magicians, they have lives too. so please stop asking for more. when you say "iv has the luxury" hopefully you mean all 25,000 who make up iv. the core is not iv. they are just volunteers already breaking their backs...
there are good reasons for the temporary stops to the checks. everything need not be publicly anounced. please leave it at that.
and while we are at it...we need help with the leg work...please complete your profile so we can get you involved with some of it...it would be great to have you as a volunteer!

Us legals do not have enough numbers (we r like 2% of illegals) nor do we have a political clout like "illegals" here...I am sure that if comes to economics 330K of legals may be equally worth in dollars as 12 million illegals but since there is no way to track illegals, we get teh axe....IF this bill does not alleviate our position...we should plan a major "A Day/month without the legal immigrant " kind of a rally and go on a months vacation....see how that effects the US economy

Yes, you are right....he did indeed use "passive resisitance" in South Africa. We all learned about it in school and I can remember the idea making a HUGE impact on me as a kid.
So I guess it does more than "work in a foreign land"....it can change individual's worldviews!

It is not I, who decides it on what to do. It is always the opinion of majority members.
You didn't get me. If the majority members say lets do all of them, which ones you think you will be able to do?

I think what Godbless bought was Universal Life Insurance policy where the Company invests in Mutual funds etc. but that has lots of finance charges and hidden costs. Traditional Whole Life on the other hand has no such thing because by law the company can only buy bonds, govt securities and Mortgages only. Hence the return on Traditional Whole Life policies is low (5-6%) but they are safe and do not have hidden charges and infact insure you at a fixed cost for whole life hence the premium never changes and policy cost to the insured remains fixed while the cash value is an added incentive for the long term. It's like putting money in bank and earning some interest but having a life coverage at the same time for not just 20-30 yrs but uptil 98 years of age. I have a few family members who are insurance agents and they always recommend Traditional Whole Life if you have good income and patience to stay long. For all other folks Term is the best but note that when you retire at 60+ and have built immovable assets then to cover the risk for them you need to have some Life insurance policy and getting Term at that age is like walking on fire. Nobody gives Term after 65+ and even if they do so then the premium is very very hefty which can be a good turnoff.
So, it all depends on your priorities and situation. 95% of US Citizens / PRs with above average asset values & income buy Traditional Whole Life policy because they are living longer and working longer and building assets well into their 60+. Term provides good & cheap coverage for young people but only for max 30 years period. After 60 + people are in soup again without Traditional Whole Life coverage.

Then there will always be people like Lou Dobbs who will say that "potential immigrants will get points only if they make 240K a year and are 25 years of age". The UK is also restricting people by increasing the point based system. Now people who make 35,000 GBP a year do not get any points in the HSMP.
the problem currently is that the system is full of lies. when you came here did you know that only 10,000 indians, by LAW, are allowed to get employment GCs per year? No. They gave you all that green grass story about how your math skills are needed here. how they don't like to study math here (and why not? all the books I studied math from were by American profs. ).
They don't want to study math because it doesn't pay. Lawyers, doctors and MBAs (bullshitters) make money here. someone has to do the work. that's where the illegal mexican and WE come in.
Let them make whatever rules they want. If the rules are bad people will stop coming here. But BEFORE a company makes an offer for an H1 employee, it should provide all the fineprint. How long the queues are, how many people get added per year, the expected time for GC processing, the fact that changing employers is almost impossible.
You know what they used to tell the africans on the ships when they were brought as slaves? "american dream, liberty and all that BS".

"If I'm an African brought to Virginia, brutally mistreated, there's no way that that negative feedback can return home to alert my relatives of the problem. And that lack of communication means that the exploitation can continue."

Hi,
Here is my situation. I can apply for I-485 since my labor(PD - Mar 05) has cleared and I-140 has been filed.
But, I have a fiancee and we are getting married in September 2007. She is on H1-B but currently traveling in India.
We cannot get married before September 2007, so, as far as I understand, I cannot add her into my AOS filing right now. And, as far as I understand they are gonna retrogress the dates to oblivion after August 17, 2007.
1. So, my question is, would she have to wait until my priority date become current again before she can add herself into my AOS application?
2. Let's say the answer for question 1 is YES. What happens if due to whatever reason, my I-140 gets approved BEFORE my priority date becomes current, so, in that scenario I wouldn't have been able to apply for her AOS anyway? Then, what are our options?
3. Let's say the answer for question 1 is NO. Then, is there a special processing I need to do to add her since my priority dates will not be current anytime soon because of the retrogression?
Please remember, she DOES carry H1-B on her own.
Thank you,
gc101.
