oh.... i see....thats how it works...
got it
thanks.
I just wonder how long it will be untill EB3 ROW is current. ???
When will EB3 ROW become current, or current for YOU? The answer would be different depending on your exact question.
Without administrative and legislative changes, the answer to number one is "a very long time" and I think I'd be safe to say that is a conservative estimate. For the record, I'm also EB3 ROW, with a PD of early 2004. I would say that would be current in 3 or 4 years
There are roughly 200 countries in the world. It is very simple maths to figure out that 200 * 9800 (the 7% limit per country) = about 1,960,000. Its pretty obvious that this is much more than the limit of 140,000 total per annum.. and you begin to see why there is a problem. Sure - each country has a 7% theroetical limit, but not EVERY country will use that in a year. Of ROW countries, UK is pretty close to its 7% per year. Others, like Lichenstein are not (or they would all be in the US and the country would not be just one big vacation home)

Everyone, there seems to be some confusion about IV's strategy.
We recognize that there are some harmful provisions in these bills, but there are also a lot of good provisions.
We have the logic and numbers on our side, so our strategy is to present the facts and ask for the bad provisions to be removed, but we will still support the bills.

logically speaking, it should be good for us. Had it not been for the conservative house republicans and speaker hastert, CIR along with its many favorable provisions for us could have been law by now. So with that obstacle out of the way, things should be better for us.However, politics is never logical and immigration reform is neither the top priority nor a done deal with the dems. From our perspective, we got to raise awareness about our cause all over again since most of the new congressmen will be unaware about problems afflicting skilled legal immigration.
Looking at few early Election results, it seems that Dems are winning. Needs to check how they will be do good for us. Any thoughts?

I dealt with Fragomen for last 7 years. I can say following about my experience �
I work for fortune 500 company and Fragomen was the law firm my company used until early 2007.
1> The emails, voice mails I sent to them used to disappear in a �black hole�. I had to wonder whether and when any response will come to an urgent, time sensitive question.
2> Many times after waiting a week or so for response I had to escalate the matter to my company�s legal department to talk to Fragomen. This used to work like charm, I used to get answers within hours.
3> I had to keep them reminding them about next step to take, as delay from their part had cost me years in the processing.
4> I think many of my co workers had similar experience and that is why my company finally switched to different law firm in Jan 07.
5> I hoped to never to deal with them again but �last week I got invoice from Fragomen for something the did for my case in Jan 2006! I don�t know why they sent it so late and why directly to me instead of my company. Well, this time I am going to wait until they call me to take any action on that invoice.
So they lost a Fortune 500 client because of their customer service and I think they will continue to loose more if they don�t change.I hope somebody from Fragomen reads this and fixes their system. To me I am very glad that my company left Fragomen !

To answer your question Yes nuthing gets transfered. Every time its a new h1b there is no transfer of anything. You can have 2 or more valid approved petition from different employers but you can use only one at a time.
Pay - They are liable and USCIS can question them. All they will have to do is show that this employee (OP) was no show never joined the company so basically agree with you here.
I was also under the same assumption. But I came to know that you can work for more than one sponsoring employer at a time.

Maybe it was the same woman - I went to DC embassy last year for passport renewal and the lady officer was rude and reckless. she started talking to me in hindi/hurdu, without any regard to whether or not i understood her language. I said stop - talk in english and she fumed at me! i told her i couldnt understand whatever language she was speaking but she refused to speak in english. i somehow gave my papers to her and she processed it. it was like dealing with some foreign embassy.

absolutely correct. One of the reasons these USCIS crooks did this 485 fiasco is to
1. increase the fee
2. sadistic nature compels them to not give us EAD
Now, you trust these crooks to do the right thing. If they had good intentions they would not have perpetrated the 485 fiasco in the first place.
There will be new VB in Oct and many people will get returned 485 at that time.
Dont dream that USCIS will take all July applications.

I've been reading some great human interest stories in various threads here on ImmigrationVoice.org. I know that there was some interest earlier in creating short videos on people who've been waiting forever for their green cards. Why not channelize this into a single place where we can gather these stories in a more compelling format?
Here's an idea that I've been toying with for sometime. If we can take all these stories from all over the country and instead of using words to describe them, use small videos (60 - 90s) or a narrated slideshow to tell these stories and have them available via a single website. We would use YouTube to actually hold the video. We could have it sliced by region/state/city. We could have a running counter to show the average number of years people registered on the site have been wating for their green card. That could be a great place to refer to the media to portray that there are some really great people out there with a compelling reason to live in this country but the green card process is a big stumbling block.
The most important part is that the stories need to be positive, not sob stories. They should bristle with energy, to convey to the people and media at large that by wasting the energy of all these people in green card process, the US is essentially not able to channelize this for more productive use. If people are interested then please email me at vikas.chowdhry@gmail.com and if there is sufficient positive response then I can get the ball rolling.

TheOmbudsman,
A number of IV members have complaint about your posts. We know that you have earlier posted on IV forums with the screen names �Communique� and �marlon2006�. If I remember correctly, your handle 'Communique' was banned but it was pretty clear that you were an anti-immigrant. I want you to read this post because in next 15 minutes, I will be putting a ban on your handle.
Immigration Voice forums are created for high skilled immigrants and their families. We contribute constructively to the society. Your hate mongering tone and disguising as 'someone waiting for green card' is pathetic example of how low you can go. I try to read forums everyday and I try to read each and every post. Each day I try to read your post to get more determined to continue to work on this very important issue. But now, I think its time for you to leave IV forums as your tone is again becoming offensive and your posts drive legitimate IV members away.
We are requesting you politely to please leave IV forums alone and do not bother IV members.
Thank you,
WaldenPond
I assume that this reply goes to anyone, who is doing this kind of mischief in this genuine forum.

yes I 140 has been approved in Feb o7.
Let me wait for actual denial letter.
It seems that is the best option at this point for me.
- Thanks
Looks like USCIS is sending more denial letters on AC21 cases these days, a lot of VOs may not have been trained on AC21.
I took infopass this week to find out status of my case (AC21 responded to NOID and case reopened and lot of soft LUDs) - the VO was trying to be judgemental instead of looking at computer and answer my question. She said "If you change job and 140 is revoked, there is no way your 485 will get approved" and when I insisted her to look at computer and let me know status, after some nagging, she looked and told me case is pending and NC cleared and I will receive a decision sometime but not very soon.
Believe me, a lot of VOs do not know AC21 stuff.

Do we have any action plan yet? What can we do to include amendments for us? Is this too late now and all we need to do is to oppose CIR?
I know everybody is busy with 485 and so am I but we need to react now before it is too late.

Here is the deal, the idea of state chapters is for grass roots organization. We can't reach out to everyone if we don't have remote hubs, it is as simple as that. We recently revived the WA state chapter and I keep sending emails, one or two respond, the rest are silent readers. However they did join the group and we are now 30+ members. Now, we plan to have a conference call and then we are planning to get together within 2 weeks to meet all of these members. No one is forced, but we would send out and invitation to every member. Then we come out with certain agendas and action items that fall within IV goals. Like one of the main things is to meet local law makers within each state for follow up. This is best done at state level. So I understand the part that you care confused is nothing is happening and you just keep writing. I know the feeling but can you get everyone together, can you get to meet them one by one. Trust me, once you get the ball rolling, before you know, you will have a big strong chapter that makes it easier to pass targeted messages and so on. When IV events are held in a national level, information and action items can be distributed to state chapter leaders who can then follow up.
But yes, it is hard work in the beginning to get every one on board, trust me, I am fighting the same battle, but hard work pays off!
Well siad - I am also of the same humble opinion. It is hard work now. Mobilizing people is no easy task, but we have to and I know we can do it.
Once we start our activities at the state level, we can make it easy at the national level.
We can let IV core concentrate on their high level agenda while at the local level we can motivate and mobilize the TEAM.
Together we forrm TEAM IV

Prince ,
Any updates on Denaial notice?
Please post or PM me . I m waiting to hear from my attorney.
You are runnig out of time it seems, last week itself you said it is around 14 days.
Ram
My attorney called them and requested the copy of Denial notice as well as asked them for faxing it.
Still not received anything.
Not sure what to do except waiting.
Irony is that all notice reaches on time except denial notice. Seems like they are trying to eliminate backlog by doing some tricks

And users should able to give numbers in that.. not just radio options..
And i remember most of the people are sending letters only to President not a copy to IV.
How does sending letters to IV matters?
Between my side i sent letter to president and requested 10 of my friends to do so..
it matters
when meetings take place on such issues, it's important to carry the large number of petition letters along...it has an important impact.
please do mail copies to iv also- can put them all in one envelope and send.
i have about 30 letters with me now (including 6 from another MN chapter members), many more are still in the works and i have friends working on it too...
