Congratulations, and that is probably the most 'relieving' MTR approval message ever.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Definitely - some "comforting words after the person went through so much stress" looks like the officer knows what exactly to write :)
It is like a cardiologist saying "I can fix any kind of heart except a broken heart" :) :) :)

that IV will loose members if we force a fee. I beg to ask what other choices you have? Enlighten me. please..........
We already have chapters as the first and foremost source of valuable information. Once someone becomes involved and committed, they will signup for monthly contributions themselves. If we have enough of that to guarantee a decent source of recurring income like 20 40 k or whatevr, I dont see the need to deprive some depressed soul surfing the net looking for some reassuring information from having to goto bed in peace.

I am not referring to the hypothetical scenarios and assumptions.
I am talking about the real scenarios in past that were covered. Did you have the first hand experience of it being covered?
I have bought it twice for my parents but did not use it (thank god). Yes that's a hypothetical scenario but I went through the policy fine print. At least it offers to cover some part of preexisting conditions which other plans do not.

Why isnt supporting and contributing to IV an option on the table here? People like such are "all talk and no action" types..!!
World strongest person (US President) support relief for high skilled but failed!
World richest person (Bill Gates) not only support but desperately want relief for high skilled but failed.
Now only one option left that is to follow century's strongest person (Mahatma Gandhi) or keep quite.

Why will it move PDs faster than now? Thanks.
could it be that ppl will not be able to sneak in with pre-approved labor now? if there is a significant number doing that, the PDs will move faster. Congrats IV on this achievement!

In my opinion USCIS will not give inaccurate information, in writing, to a Senator. The letter clearly mentions 'Application Pending for India'...
USCIS might not have intentionally given any incorrect information. Perhaps to them what they sent means "EB applications pending for India". Key part is "for India", which quite likely does not mean chargeable to India.
I doubt if they can easily track out applications chargeable to India that easily (even if $5K is sent to them). Whatever is entered in the system when USCIS receives paper applications (e.g. name, address, date received, category, date I-140 approved, etc.) can only be used as a criteria for queries. Birth country perhaps is only on paper application, and is verified for approrpriate chargeability at adjudication time. Systems are not designed for handling cases where country of chargeability is, as is the case for us, the final stopper.

@buddy thanks for this thoughtful insight, and i am also not looking forward to any transfers as i tried it with one employer who wanted to hire me but so late as it has been the procedure didn't get through.
Well about him not closing down shutters i know it would be difficult to indict him to that level, but even for him to hire an attorney and fight to save his A** would be a greater achievement and moreover once i am back to my native, i will blacklist him as much as i can in the forums and in the immigration voice. I will make it sure he doesn't get any goat to butcher from my native land any further.
All i am seeking here is that even if DOL launches a investigation and he loses his money over it during his trial and if everything goes well (as i am preparing every doc , every communication, every letter that he sent me to prove that these consultants are all looking for money no matter even if it comes in the form of someone's blood) my job would be done. Hopefully DOL will tighten some screws somewhere and maybe i can save one more like me to fall into the trap of this company.
I would be constantly working to make sure if someone types his name , my reviews of his blacklist appears before his company website, i have done many SEOs for many companies and my friends i am capable of destroying him at least over the internet and i shall see to it that happens.
Maybe he took a bigger fish than he could swallow this time.:-)

Paskal, You are right - I do not understand. But mostly I cannot understand because as an organisation - you do not explain. Frankly, all I can do is register my disappointment at both your response and your attitude.While I get it that IV is actively involved in doing things over the years aimed at resolving this issue, I might feel that I could respect and maybe even understand these efforts better if IV kept its website up to date and all members who sign in updated on what's happening.
I have often seen threads on this site that have members complaining that IV is not doing anything - to which invariably the response is that one should join the donor forum. On the other hand we get newsletters from admin that ask up to tighten our belts etc. - and get more involved. Well, that cannot happen unless IV provides more updated information on what IV is actually doing, veiled references to behind the scenes activity and years of hard work are not enough to involve all those who have signed up here to become 'more involved'.
As for this discussion going nowhere I could not agree more - you see to have an open discussion or indeed debate - there must be at least 2 willing participants. And since you have already decided that you do not have time for the Qs of a mere non-paying member of this forum, I do not expect any better.
By the way, the way ahead is not to close doors, but to welcome questions and encourge those on this forum with curiosity to be more active. More often than not, I have seen that those who Q on this forum, are mocked, ignored, and treated as if they are wasting CORE's time. Sad for a forum that hopes to involve a wider audience in this issue.
Thanks!!

As a new user, I would try to understand what IV stands for, What political forces IV is against and have some political wisdom before I start asking IV to disclose everything in a public forum. There are valid reasons why IV is not revealing everything in a public forum. If you are interested in resolving your own GC issues and that of others on this forum, you should not ask IV to disclose all the strategies and thoughts in a public form.
There are many IV members who are old members of IV who trusts IV core leadership blindly even though we don't know IV strategies or thought process completely. One thing many of us can assure you is that IV core works with best of our interests in mind, they are a bunch of dedicated and smart people who understand how to plan our advocacy effort wisely.
I would suggest you trust IV core leadership with their advice and directions as it is better for our own interests.

There is some massive confusion here. The Immigration and Nationality Act also says the following for EB3
-Quote
(3) Skilled workers, professionals, and other workers
(A) In general
Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraphs (1) and (2), to the following classes of aliens who are not described in paragraph (2):
-End Quote
Read the term "Not to exceed 28.6 percent". So EB3 can't exceed 28.6 percent which means unused visas from EB2 cant all go to EB3. Since EB2 ROW is current, the unused EB2 visas should be coming to EB2 India & china as per AC21 law.. no?
We shouldn't assume that USCIS is too dumb to follow the law..
Read the term "Not to exceed 28.6 percent plus"That plus means EB3 total can exceed 28.6%..
No.... USCIS is not dumb...They have interpreted the law in the way they think is appropriate....They are applying the over all 7% country cap to China/India EB2 and sending the overflow to EB3 ROW..... It is not fair but it is not exactly illegal...The law is open to interpretation and USCIS has chose to select this interpretation......You can take a crack at suing the USCIS.....I doubt that you would get anywhere......The EB2 India/China might benefit from the lawsuit....But as you know not all members would agree on IV spending resources on this lawsuit because this serves only a small section of member population.... At a personal level you can gather a few EB2 China India guys and have a crack at suing USCIS....

I will call the senators immigration liaison tomorrow. Hopefully she will not tell me that they cannot do anything besides what they have done because that is what they told me in September last year when I got a standard response last year.
Unfortunately nobody understands the pain and agony we are going through. For them, its just another day at the office, they couldnt care less. Nevertheless, I am going to try tomorrow.....hey, cant give up that easy.
I will call CS again tomorrow, I dont mind being yelled at and I am gonna tell her this time that I have not opened a SR. Atleast, she will then transfer my call to a IO.
Let's see what tomorrow has in store for me!!
Thanks @natraj @fatjoe @Vikki @apb - thanks for all suggestions -:)
@ cali - talk to senators's immigration liaison and explain the contradicting response(s) that you are receiving and ask if they could help - at this time lets take a diff approach - let them ping USCIS rather that you..see if that works.
@fat - 2nd SR was for wife and we seriously think that IT did the trick
I am wishing THE BEST for all of you who are waiting...next few days guys - you will get it! 100%

Very happy for you Bradman !! Enjoy :p
...but remember it can be pure coincidence that your letter to 1600 Pennslyvania made any difference. Moreso when the namecheck and the approval..all happened within 2 weeks of the letter !
Anyways no harm trying any and all legal ways !
The President George W Bush,
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Mention in the subject line: FBI Name Check pending.
Also send it by a regular post as I have seen and it worked for me, whether it was the FL, State Senator or the Local Congressman !
Also make it a point to write at the top of the envelop (Immigration Assistance). Let the letter be very personalized and write your traumatic experience.
All the best !!!

Freedom and Liberty has been the founding principle of USA. Freedom to change, to improve and to grow has lured immigrants to USA over ages. However, same freedom is denied to LEGAL employment based immigrants. USA boasts of equal rights and opportunity to everyone. However equality is denied to employment based immigrants.
I came to USA in 2001 along with my family, to work as an IT manager. My green card was applied in 2003. I have been dutifully contributing to US economy, in form of my labor and taxes. However, due to immigration laws, I am stuck to a particular job profile. I can not accept any promotions or job enlargement offers. I am even barred from attending full time school, to enhance my skills. My dependents are not eligible to any educational aids, since we are not green card holders yet. I can not buy a house for the fear of losing it. In case of job loss, I have to seek a job in same job profile within 2 months, or loose whatever I have worked hard for in prime years of my life. In spite of paying all taxes, I am not eligible for any kind of unemployment benefits.
I have been waiting patiently for last five year for my green card. Looking at the snail pace of process it will be several decades before, I get it. Has US stopped caring about intellects at all? Why can�t US politicians see a potential brain drain coming?
I request you to take reforming immigration process, making USCIS accountable on top priority. The law should also have a maximum wait period for green card identified. No one should be put through an ordeal of an endless wait.

Why do you bring Malice with you, everywhere, seriosly how does your family stand you ?
I have seen your posts earlier, they are full of abuses, unjust full of most useless comments, let me tell you one thing, it is a very well known truth people who are most abusive on cyber space, are most fattoo & have been beaten up kind of people because they spend their life in threat but on cyberspace they become Lion. You are a typical Cyber Sher... But in real life I can guess....
mirage,
This is very interesting. "A friend" just sent me a message telling me that you had a conference call few days back. In that call, this is what you had to say, and these are your words and I quote -
"I do not have much knowledge of political system in US. I do not understand much of the politics here. That guy with a changing hat, sanju, he seems to be very knowledgeable about the politics and current affairs. I will contact him to seek his help."
Now I am totally confused. In private phone conferences, out of everybody on this forum, you can single me out and describe me just a fewdays back as "very knowledgeable about the politics and current affairs", but your post in the public forum above says "you bring Malice", "unjust full of most useless comments", "most fattoo", "spend their life in threat but on cyberspace they become Lion", "typical Cyber Sher".
Can you first debate yourself and decide which one is it? "very knowledgeable about the politics and current affairs" or "most fattoo"? :p

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Can some guru put this issue to rest? I guess the only question that remains is:
"For a person who has extended his H1 beyond the 6 year category on the basis of AOS, would this H1 extension be valid if I-485 is denied (either wrongly due to AC21 or otherwise)"
Hi Indyanguy,
This is an excellent question and I was also looking for an answer. I am into my 6th year of H1-B(exactly 5 years 1 month) and also have an approved EAD & AP.
I have a great JOB offer but hesitating to invoke AC21(moving using H1-B/EAD) because these days there are many 485 DENIALS( the moment I1-40 is REVOKED). And NOTHING is guaranteed even if we send the AC21 documents to USCIS. And the EAD automatically gets invalid anyways when the 485 is denied.
Doing some research to find out if H1-B extension beyond 6th year is valid if 485 - gets DENIED? (Example: If I get a 3 year H1-B extension based on my current I-140 approval)?
Also not sure if it applies in my case as I still have 10-11 months of H1-B remaining and if I decide to take up this oppurtunity in the next couple of months and 485 gets DENIED after that. May be I will have enough time to file MTR? I should be fine. But what if 485 gets DENIED after I complete 6 years?
Please provide genuine answers.
These answers will BENEFIT many people.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Srini
