Clear *all* in the current system, re-boot it and come back in Fall with a NEW POINTS BASED system! Simple eh? Win win?
Lou Dobbs has spoken out in favor of fixing legal backlogs too!
Possibly too obvious a strategy that it gets overlooked in the hysteria.

This thread was dead in October last year. This guy MartianSoldier restarted it ( and notice he has only 1 post ) for just one reason - start infighting among indians from different states.
Anyone falling into his trap and fighting on the thread ?
Martiansoldier really belongs not on Mars but in a mental asylum. Please don't post on this thread unless it has really got something to do with PIO card or the Indian consulate.
Remember United we stand and Divided we fall.
@hpandey:
Congratulations on working hard to figure out where I belong but too bad, it wasn't worth it nor will it ever matter to anyone where I belong!
You might want to ask ameryki to stop thread jacking before you blame me. I did not start any infighting nor did I start the Hindi topic! I just responded to a stupid post by ameryki and I sure as hell have every right to voice my opinions. If you don't like it, do what you will and move on!
I've got to make myself clear about my first reason though.
When I mean attitude of the people that speak it, I mean the attitude of those that speak it to me after I have politely mentioned in English that I do not know the language and yet those morons begin a lecture that I have to know the language because I am a citizen of the nation and it doesn't matter where I live. The constitution of India does not state that every citizen of India must know Hindi nor does it state that no matter where in the world an Indian lives, he must know Hindi to be an Indian citizen.
At the end of the day, no matter what anyone says or thinks of me, I still don't have one good reason to learn Hindi! Yet, I am a Proud Citizen of Indian and there is nothing that people like hpandey or ameryki can do about it! This is the truth and so will it remain!
@ snathan:
We're not alone and I'm sure that you'd agree that we're no less Indian citizens than anyone that speaks Hindi. What we type here isn't going to change the fact that we're treated differently by those Indian citizens who speak Hindi and most of those that speak it would never ever change their attitude toward us for not knowing it.
I've got better things to do than help hpandey or ameryki understand what it would feel like to be in our shoes and I ain't gonna bother. Like I have my opinion, they have theirs!
Cheers everyone! It is time for me to move on.

Hi Totoro,
please be so kind and explain me what exactly shall I say to the SSN Office about why I apply for SSN non-work. If they ask me to proof that I need a SSN to get Economic Stimulus Payment, what shell I do??
How is posible to get a SSN non-work to get Economic Stimulus Payment if you didn't work. How can you make tax return without to work. ?? Sorry for all this question but I really don't understand. But i'm shure that you will be very nice and you will explain me how it's work.
Thank you,
lelica
As long as you qualify for the stimulus payment, you can get a non-work SSN. You qualify as long as you are in the income levels specified, were a resident of the US in 2007 (substantial presence), and were in the US legally (have a valid visa). If you did not file a tax return, then you cannot apply for the SSN.
As far as the Social Security Act is concerned, the law states that they MUST give you a SSN if you qualify for any federally funded benefit. The question is: Is the Economic Stimulus Payment a federal funded benefit. The information in my original post makes a very strong case that it is.
Please post your experiences here, even if you are denied. Remember, the folks in the local SSA offices are bureaucrats, not lawyers, or judges, so don't expect much cooperation. However, if they deny you application, simply write them a short letter saying that you disagree and that you are requesting a "reconsideration."

Do we have members or friends of members whose 140 was revoked by the employer, but the 485 did not get denied automatically? This is specifically addressed to applicants who had an approved 140 and had stayed with the original employer for 180+ days after 485 filing.

Based on the reply to this FOIA from Needhelp!, it seems that we have a bigger problem than transparency.
They have said that country of chargeability is not assigned until case is ready for approval. However, whether or not a case is ready for approval is determined by country of chargeability. If you have 500,000 pending cases and dont know how many cases for each country of chargeability, then the only way to respond to a visa bulletin is to go thru all 500,000 cases every month, take a peek in it, look at the PD, look at the country and see if it is up for approval. I dont think they are doing that.
Also, if priority date is something that is different for different countries, then cases for those countries have to be sorted by priority date in different silos, so that when the next bulletin comes, you know how many cases are eligible that month and which ones are the earliest cases (from PD perspective) for each country.
I think we need to build case with proper arguments and present in front of Ombudsman.

Just confirmed from IRS website I would not be getting the stimulus payment as wife is on ITIN. Missed out on the July stampede last year to get rid of the abominal H4. Looks like groups like FAIR have to engaged head on if any benefits to immigrants(any variety) are to be realized.

My new target is 200. It was 100 before the deadline was extended.
58 collected so far (excluding the 24 letters at Fremont train station)
Besides, I prepare & mail about 20 envelopes a day to WH=> these envelopes contain letters coming in from several folks in CA.
This weekend, NORCAL will do not 1 but 3 drives:
Sunnyvale temple
Grocery stores @ Sunnyvale
Grocery stores @ Fremont
For more details, check out the latest messages on NORCAL yahoogroup!
After the last weekend drives in NorCal, my own tally rose to 151.
Actually anyone can spend an hour or two on this, and see how easy it is to score at least a hundred!

Hi All,
I applied for my daughter's PIO card and sent all the documents as mentioned in the instructions sheet of the embassy website along with the self addressed stamped envelope. I heard from my other friends that even after you send everything in order, the embassy people would call and say that they did not receive the self addressed stamped envelop. It happened to three of my friends. I am the 4th one. They called today to tell that I did not send the envelope.
The funny part that happened with my friends is that, they all sent $20 and the package came in the very envelope they sent in the first place, that the embassy said they didn't receive.
Did anybody of you also had the same kind of experience or similar incident. If so, please do share.
Why are they doing like that? Do they really think we would do like that, trying to save on an self addressed envelope? It really bothered me for the fact that the lady from the consulate was utterly rude when talking. I am amazed how in the world, The Indian Government is still hiring such people? Of more then a billion population, is that the best person the government of India could find for that customer service post? Its a shame and I am ashamed that such dic*heads working and representing India?
Coming back to the issue...she said sternly, send $20.00 or send envelope stamped otherwise the application would not be processed.
Folks, please let me know where I can complain about this careless attitude of this monster woman. What steps can I take to make sure they don't do that again? I live in TN and I can't fly/drive to Washington DC. The questions is not about the money, but the way they are operating without any ethics is deplorable.
Hoping to hear all your valuable suggestions.
Thank you.
I am sorry to hear your experience at indian embassy. I sent the PIO card app for my daughter to Indian Consulate Houston and they did not require me to send a self addressed envelope. Included $20 and i got the card via FEDEX. I was surprised that the total time to receive card was about 7 -10days counting from the day i mailed the papers.

The term "Priority Date" appeared 10 times in last Visa Bulletin.
I wonder how USCIS is able to follow Visa Bulletin, without understanding this term.
I will contribute $25, if we decide to go this route. However I agree with all who say that we should ask them to make this info available periodically & REGULARLY (so that it does not end up like updates on processing dates)

I doubt if the house is going to toe the senate line on the CIR. The new bill that has been introduced in the House is seen as a rebuke to Bush, directly contradicting the Senate version. I think this CIR will be killed in the house if it somehow passes the Senate.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-immig20jun20,0,3608273.story?coll=la-home-center
That is another HR 4437 in the making.
The House leadership is so silent in this issue, its hard to find out what Speaker Pelosi and Maj. leader Hoyer want to do. The only thing they have said is "Illegal immigration is a problem and we need support of 70 Republicans to schedule an immigration bill". That's it. Nothing new. No comments, no discussions, nothing.

Will advanced degree holder need labor certification?
I think they will. Here is how the new labor certification clause will read:
(5) Labor certification and qualifications for certain immigrants.-
(A) Labor certification.-
(i) In general.-Any alien who seeks to enter the United States for the purpose of performing skilled or unskilled labor is inadmissible, unless the Secretary of Labor has determined and certified to the Secretary of State and the Attorney General that-
(I) there are not sufficient workers who are able, willing, qualified (or equally qualified in the case of an alien described in clause (ii)) and available at the time of application for a visa and admission to the United States and at the place where the alien is to perform such skilled or unskilled labor,
(ii) Certain aliens subject to special rule.-For purposes of clause (i)(I), an alien described in this clause is an alien who-
(I) is a member of the teaching profession
(II) has exceptional ability in the sciences or the arts; or
(III) has an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics from an accredited university in the United States and is employed in a field related to such degree.
Source: Official Senator Frist's Bill http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c109:1:./temp/~c109BRbYkn:e244507:
INA Act 212 http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-20/slb-2112?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm
So labor certification is required for advanced degree holder in STEM with 3 years of US experience prior to applying will be treated as special a case.
Also, this clause says that the degree has to be from a US university. I think Attorney Mathew Oh is wrong in saying that graduate degree holders in STEM from foreign universities can apply too.
