What Details? I have mentioned in one of my posts here that my PERM has not yet been filed....No details regarding my green card processing.....Please read my posts to get more details on this.
Admin need to add three more options to 'Processing Stage' info in the header, 'Not Yet Filed', 'Not Interested in GC', and 'GC Received'. N/A should be removed, as there is always some Processing Stage.

I just received a letter from the person who took my AOS interview
The letter reads like this,
The Priority date for your classification is not current at this time. Your case meets the requirements for abeyance until a visa number is available for your priority date. Please refrain from making status inquiries until 90 days after your priority date is available. To view priority dates go to: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html
wow...she screwed us royally..on face she said she is going to approve our petition as it every thing and also PD is CURRENT..Now she sent a letter saying my PD is not current and adding insult to an injury she sent a link to the DOS bulletin which says I am current.
Only you can Do USCIS..Long live.

Hi friends,
No doubt this is a great idea and also as newbie2020 suggests no point of wasting time and loosing the current tempo and massive support of IV members on this regard.
Would like to request all, is it possible to change the bridge schedule a bit to 9.00 or 9.30 PM EST so that it would be easier to participate for people who are in Pacific Time Zone? If most people have difficulty in doing that, lets move forward with the current schedule.
Please update.....
-Immi_Chant
Sounds reasonable. Newbie2020 and others, does 9:00 PM EST sound ok to you guys ? We can cut down the call to about 45 mins to enable early risers to get to bed.

The idea is interesting, but I am not convinced. I am a skeptic. Becacuse the question is how will anyone be able to make this idea into reality. Someone should manage a timeplan, budget for this bill. We also need few people to go to Capitol and talk to media and Senators. We need someone to become a leader of this idea. Without a leader and timeplan I cannot buy this idea.
Questions to the person who started this thread:
1. Can you also post the draft of this bill or a document explaining this bill.
2. What is the timeline and budget to push this bill?
3. What is your plan to push it.
Question to whoever says they agree with the idea
1. Post your contribution to this bill if you support it. Basically say what you would do to support it.
There should be a timeplan made and everyone that has pledged would then be asked to do their bit.
I agree, these were not my ideas but it was reasonable enough to motivate me to start this thread. Every one who concurs with these ideas should contribute to this bill. I am still a newbie to this forum and trying to understand how to's...

Since AILA has also taken interest into a proposal like this Don't you think we should engage them in planning the next strategy.
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm
The link you have posted seems to talk about allowing to file for 485 even though the priority date may not be current.
It would be difficult to combine both the proposals. The combination would mean that everyone would enjoy the benefits of being allowed to continue living and working in the country with no annual limit. Which basically means no control of immigrants.
I am not in anyway opposing this. But we need to look at it based on how the decision makers are going to perceive it.
I feel what is being proposed by 'realizeit' is realistic and will not hamper the annual limits. It would be good if someone has contacts with the AILA and can persue the matter as a coalition effort.

Is 485 the sole purpose of our life now ? Personally I don't give a damn about the GC if I have to see my family suffer and I don't think any crime can be worse than seeing an adult abusing an infant who can't protect himself and not doing something about it.
Do you want to let a illegal nanny dictate your situation? Your unfortunate situation because you hired a illegal nanny which resulted in your child get beaten up further mess you?
Come on man - this is called knee jerk reaction - I can understand the anger because no one will tolerate beating children.
If something has to be done from now on in this IV community - write blogs about hiring nannies, and also warn people about what is happening on sulekha and ads on grocery stores etc... Ask people to be wary of all this. Such awareness will reduce these kind of incidents.
For our friend, it is his choice

He might be thinking that the biggest mistake he has done so far is, came to IV for suggestions!!!
I am glad he came to IV for suggestion, if not we couldn’t have learned about this dreadful situation.
People who say not to go to the cops, need some lessons on Criminal Negligence and Obstruction of Justice charges.

What exactly is meant by checking the receipt date online and it is 3 months after the date in the paper? All I see on my 485 is a statement that they have received my response to the RFE...I don't see any receipt date or notice dates on the case status online at USCIS.gov
Just wondering what you mean or am I missing something?

How do you come to these conclusions what congress intended. AC21's main provisions were to recapture unused visas for certain years; extend h-1b beyond six years; allow someone to change a job after 485 pending for more then six months; allow unused visas to be allocated to oversubscribed countries on a quarterly basis rather then in the fourth quarter.
Above is what was changed. There was no lifting of country cap. If you go to the earlies visa bulletins listed; you will see that Dominican Republic at one time was retrogressed. I haven't looked at it in a long time but if someone goes to the historical visa bulletins pre ac21 then you may see significant movement in retrogressed countries in the fourth quarter of uscis fiscal year (july to september). This is what changed.
However, the ac21 part about unused visas only stipulated if in any quarter there were less applicants then visas available then spillover can happen in that quarter. However, as can be seen in 2005 that weasn't the case and there shouldn't have been spillover.
In another posting you mentioned that your employer doesn't care whether you are Indian or chines or pakistani or anything else. This is true they want you for your skill. However, how did you get into USA. Chinese generally go to school here and will work wherever they get a job. However, Indian nationals have designed a system to get their realitves here through h-1b. Selective recrutiing is performed to get fellow compatriates here that couldn't otherwise get here becuase they have no connections. I ask some of my clients how they get employees. They tell me they are sponsoring their classmates, their cousins, etc. for h-1b.
Therefore, you may think it is not fair; and perhaps it is not fair but perhaps government knows that certain systems have been designed and they value diversity.
In business definition a skilled worker is not someone with two years of experience, a bachelors or even a masters. A skilled worker is someone with substantial experience. That is 15 years and makes $200K to $300K. Employment base immigration is just an accomodation to allow a certain number of people into USA. In my mind it is just an accomodation or goodwill.
If the EB system was designd to attract the best and brightest minds; skilled worker definition or eb2 or eb3 definition would have a much different meaning and would follow business rather then USCIS definition. It would be much different. There would be no quota. It would follow normal business practicses. That is we, can't find a us citizen or greencard holder and we need you. In real business sens it would be an offer, acceptance and you would start in a couple of months. However, it doesn't follow normal business rules/practices because maybe the powers that be look at it as just an accomodation rather then a real necessity.
While what you say is from a very neutral perspective as you see things from the other side of the wall, it may not be 100% true in what you think it is. These agencies or companies are a creation of the system, tons of people come from India to fill job positions and systems have been designed to accommodate that. Companies like Wipro, Infosys, etc... have HR people stamp their own H1b visa and send people in a bunch to the consulate for verification.
Indian companies do not 'FAVOUR" Indian workers, but take advantage and try to "EXPLOIT" Indian workers to cater to businesses.
The way the system works is, there is always available pool of talent for American businessess, these happen with rules being framed to accmomdate skilled workers.
Just like how Jewish people good in Financial stuff, Indians have been immigrating in skilled worker category.
While from your perspective you seem to think that it is some sort of Mafia trying to break rules and taking law in its own hands, favouring thier countrymen, it is because you don't have such a big infrastructure in China or Philippines etc... it is again the same Indian companies that are opening up branches in Singapore, Malaysia, Shangai, etc.. and reqruiting people from there too. Chinese consulting companies are now operating in full fledged manner these days and there seem to be companies that cater to Chinese Canadians looking for jobs in USA by providing them a TN visa letter and bringing them to US and place them in Client locations.

In addition to moral blindness, your visual impairment also seems to extend to the physical realm preventing you from even reading the responses to your post.
And you need to do better than just posting links to ACLU and other left leaning websites if you want to forcibly argue your point. Somebody in this forum was pointing out how the majority here seem to favor illegal immigrants. Let me point out that Apraio was elected democratically in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008. Apparently voters in his county have a different point of view about illegal immigrants and have no problems voting him again repeatedly.
Ok. One last shot. You need to get better with your posting skills, don't type up comments inline and then call the other person blind :)
The links which I posted have nothing to do with left or right. Skip the commentary if you so please, read the quotes attributed to the Sheriff.
Like I posted earlier, I am not condoning the illegal acts per se, just how 'law' was being implemented.
We can agree to disagree. We just don't look at things the same way. I am done here. Good luck. Peace !

But do understand one thing. We want to pass these stories to senators and media folks to show them how badly messed up the system is. If you really want to help, please send me by email a decent (no *&^% ;-) ) version of your story. Only then we can really use it!
Again, do not get me wrong. I totally understand your frustration and can fill up an entire page myself with obscenities at the utter incompetency and malicious intent of employers/lawyers. But will it do any good? Probably serve as a vent for my frustrations but not much beyond that!
So do yourself a favor and send me a detailed email with all the info mentioned in the first post and we will make sure we add it to the list of stories that we pass on to the senators!
Thanks for understanding

this got to be the best practical solution I have seen on IV (with some modification?), approaching hillary clinton by explaining the situation is the best bet, its simple and involves an administrative fix but they anyway have to revisit the application during visa allocation,
what if a person's 485 is approved like 4 years back and he had some run-ins with law after that or something that might jeopardize his chances of 485 if it is evaluated at the time of visa allocation? this might be a 1 in 100 case but its a national security issue, solution can be as one of the members said pay an upfront fee for pre-evaluation and then when visa number is available they don't re-evaulate parts of application that don't change like birth certificate etc.,. and just look at w2s, paystubs, criminal records etc.,. in that case if it is just a pre-evaluation I am not sure how it would be of great help unless the package comes with EAD and AP,
