My wife has a Ph D and sent you the details. Let me know if you need further informaton
That really helps. But we need more stories from IV members. It need not be earth shattering like being a researcher in some cutting edge lab or an exec in a top 50 firm. We all have our own stories
If you read the first post, the senator (I think it was Kennedy) made a big deal about some immigrant he knew who had a very 'ordinary' life. All of us in IV are atleast one step ahead in the sense that we all are 'highly skilled'.
It could be about a Software Engineer who cannot get a promotion and has to reject more lucrative/satisfying offers from other firms to a person who is qualified as a High School teacher who cannot teach because she does not have an H1 visa
It could be about someone getting frustrated and applying to Canada as a backup otion or someone. Someone else might have a spouse who has been on H4 for 6 years and now cannot work inspite of avaiability of sponsor because one may use only 6 years of H visa.
Guys, unless we all chip in, lets forget about getting any resolution to this issue. IV is doing all it can and has been getting some success in getting amendments introduced. But unless we all step up to the plate, we can assure you it will be very difficult for us to protect these amendments in the senate. House conference will just chew us until we make some noise.
There are 3000 members on this forum, can't we even get a 100 decent stories to pass on to the media? Its difficult to convice media to write about us with only 5 people's stories......please chip in....as promised, no personal info about you will be revealed, unless you explicity mention that to us....

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each one of you on the immigration voice core IV team for your dedication and perseverance and, congratulate all of us on this triumphant success with the USCIS decision in our favor. I very closely watched the immigration voice threads, especially, over the past week and don't think would have found a better blogspot for realtime updates and advice. Its been a tough time for most of us and that was sure evident with rising tempers on the forums and restlessness that was tangible. I think a celebration is in order. Cheers!!! ;)

EB3 Guys,
Take it easy... This is just for humour, to have fun at these times.
No green card for you. Just work well for 6 years, enjoy life in US, enjoy sports cars by renting, not by buying, rent a big house, have a lawn and garden in back yard, grow your own vegetables. Have nice vacations like Hawaii, Jamaican islands, Vegas, Porto Rico etc.,Have fun in life. Do not go for green card. After 6 years, get nice job in India,own apartment near to office and ask your parents to live with you. Take kids to school . Have fun with them. Try to become director, AVP,VP,SVP,CEO,CTO and President. Do not go for green card. After you become director, buy a single family home and mercedez or BMW and have fun. Retire by the time your kids become earners. Grow vegetables in back yard. Do gardening and have fun. Thats how life should be. Do not hope for green card. H A V E F U N.
good point ..for EB3 folks to invest any money in US in immovable assets when the status is in such a big big mess is like throwing HARDEARNED money away. sadly, There is NO hope in the horizon for EB3-I / C

Instead of allowing US STEM graduates to get GC based on US job offer it would be beneficial to instead allow US STEM graduates to apply and get H1B without any quota. Tht way they will get into the system and don't need to go back to home country. Giving GC to STEM graduates directly is wrong by law because it bypasses labour and 140 conditions which state that a company is willing to sponser GC for a person based on current market conditions.
Its already there. 20000 for masters and phd students.
Giving GC to stem is to bypass them from EB based line, which means they won't consume numbers from 140k. Isn't this good?

The above part of your submission is not true. If you read the I-485 Adjudicator's Manual, you will find that the file is already opened and input into the system at this stage. Otherwise dwhuser would not have received I-797 Notice of Action.
In theory action on a case should be sequenced by priority date and then received date within the priority date batch. However, nobody knows for sure how USCIS works each case.
fromjaija, When data is entered, and the notice is generated, only limited information is entered in the system. PD is not one of them. When I said "file is not opened", I meant that no one has yet reviewed the file. Note that for most cases PD is not a controlling factor. It is only the unfortunate ones from retrogressed countries that they have to wait for PD to be current. For everyone else, once file is reviewed, if all documentation is in order, case is cleared. Once a file is reviewed, if it has to wait for PD to be current, it is placed in sequence of PD. See USCIS SOP on the link below, which even tells what color of paper clip to use, etc. (though it is a bit out of date).

This is a totally wrong message someone out there put out to make people nervous. Application support centers do no have IO's. The only IO's you will meet would be at a different USCIS facility where you take appointment and stand before the counter and ask the questions.
There will be no reason why someone would meet a IO at the fingerprinting place which generally have technicians and security to monitor the process. You sit in a waiting room alongwith 100 other people, then once your name is called, you do the fingerprinting and get out of the door.
There is no time to mingle with IOs nor there will be IOs(friendly or not) who would be willing to disclose any information to you.
Some people online gloat at having pleasure to spread disinformation. this seems to be the case...
Guys take it easy...
I agree.... there are no IOs at the fingerprinting offices let alone talking to them.
I had an infopass appointment today and the IO there told me a lot. She told me that me and my wife's namecheck and fingerprints were cleared. She also told me that the case has not been assigned and therefore she opened a Service Request for me to expedite the case (dont know if it will help). She also mentioned that there is no memo stating that the vsa numbers have been exhausted.
And believe me.. i overheard the other IOs in the saying that the immigration system is screwed up and the service centers dont know what they are doing... so guys you can see what the system thinks of itself.....
so again as i have said....sit tight and hope and pray ....
cheers

VXG,
That validates my reply previously to a posting by a guy who said that he had called up TSC and they said they go by RD...I had asked him to call back after a day and he'd get totally opposite info.
My situation is the same.....I was TSC-CSC-TSC....but I had received an RFE last year.....dunno why will they preadjudicate and then go by ND which is totally non-sense...logic should be that if a case is preadjudicated it should be put on based on PD..
Again USCIS don't follow any logic...
As I said b4 very few transfer cases will ever get approved.....just bid your time...or apply thru EB1 chances are better that way..
SoP

I believe if the case has been pre-adjudicated then it shouldn't matter whats the RD and ND. They will probably approve based on Priority date. Earlier PDs get approved first. But who knows, its USCIS.

1) Since the letter refers to "we" (the legal immigrants), should we be individually signing the letter?
2) Are we going to provide our mailing address as well as email IN THE EVENT that there will be a response to our questions?
3) What happens if there is no response?
4) In the letter, I said action must be taken in the remaining 15 days .. BUT HOW CAN ANYTHING BE DONE AS THE STANDARD RESPONSE IS "the annual quota is exhausted" ??? i.e., there are no more visas to allocate!!

50,000 unused visas were given to Schedule A in 2005. When the bill was first introduced the unused visas 100,000+ was supposed to go to EB3 since there was retrogression in just EB3 category and Schedule A was part of EB3.
After debate for a few days 50,000 of these were allocated to Schedule A and the EB3 retrogression was forgotten and never been fixed since.
Hope this doesn't happen again.
There are around 100,000 unused visas...am not sure if anyone takes UCSIS to court if these can be reallocated.
UNUSED VISAS WERE DUE TO uscis INEFFICIENCY!!! Make sense if they make amends.

Well said "ItIsNotFunny",
I have seen lot of ppl wine about the Dec bulletin, inefficiency of USCIS, cursing IV, EB2 Vs EB3, exploitation by Desi Employers, leaving negative comments ETC. ETC.... but when it comes to just sending letters, they won't do it but some how they will manage to find the time to reply non-immigration related issues in very detail.
Therefore I request all the members to please send the letter (regarding AC21 Denial issue) ASAP.
BTW: As a father, I fully sympathize with this guy & understand his situation. Whatever happened to his kid is tragic but again as mentioned by few other members, he should have posted this issue on sulekha or some other websites.
Guys,
I saw there are 50 replied to this post. Looks like people are more interested in others problems than their own.
Its pity that MOST CRITICAL issue we are facing at present - AC21 Denial issue, is having only 77 mails but everyone is jumping gossipping. Come out of this and show a unity to real problems.
Grow up and don't escape from real problems. Its our problem and we need to fight to resolve it.

Even during the recess, we were talking to the staff of a ton of senators. Most of the time the senators' staff are interested only if someone from 'their constituency' is also affected. We always say we have a ton of folks from each state, but nothing works like a real example.
For example, when we speak to say Senator Kennedy, it helps us to present the story of folks affected by retrogression and living in say Boston, MA. That way, the staff has some incentive to look into this and get hooked immediately.
Since time is short this time, we need all the stories from each state to make our case.
As promised, we will not reveal your story to media if you do not want to.
Though there is no harm to reveal one's name in media as can be noticed by the folks featured in the Roll Call article, Philly Inquirer and News Observer.
We will just concentrate on the crux how you are suffering because of delays such that even if your boss reads this story, he will not be offended or put off (Read our members stories in the three articles I have mentioned, none of it can get the IV members in any trouble at all).
At the same time we understand that you might have reasons to remain out of media and we will fully respect that.
But please send in your stories so we have a convincing story to make our case.....
