I cannot help laughing. That is the coolest analogy that anybody can think of, for the GC retrogression:)
I think this post should be sent in the humor section in one of the forthcoming IV newsletter, hoping that newsletter reaches congressmen/senators. Atleast they would sympathize with our plight.
Good one, indeed!!!
:D :D :D
Yes, I used to say like this five years back when I had time and age in my hand. I assume you are in early or mid 20's. I will put it differently for you.
Assume there is a big pond which starts from 1 feet and gradually increases up to 100 feet. People with one year work experience steps 0.5 feet. There are life jackets(GC) floating around the pool and whoever is lucky is picking it up. There are guys like me who are already in 5th-6th feet deep without finding the lifejacket, but we are sure if we go further, may be 3-4 feet more we WILL find it. There are guys who are lucky to find a life jacket at 1,2,3 feet also and happily float to the shore passing us. The fifth feet guy is practically seeing how the 6th and 7th feet guys are struggling. May be they are seeing some one in 8 feet to 10 feet. Now a big Tsunami (retrogression) comes and drags all the jackets 20 feet down further. These guys are dejected and some of these guys even pull their spouse/kids in one hand when they float/swim.
Dont forget, it takes one year to step 0.5 feet. Every year the pond management drops a fixed number of jackets. These guys keeps their hope alive based on the above fact. But these guys are seeing some kids passing in motorboat(LC Substitution) paying that guy 10K and getting a life jacket. Hmm pain, but even if I had a chance I would have also done it.
Now comes your saying. When the deepest s...t guys talks about their fate down the line and how to take their family safe ashore, a guy at 0.5/1 feet shouts saying "Dont give up, it is like deciding to take a sanyas because you are tired of dealing with social issues".
If you are in 5+ feet, I take your statment. Otherwise, you will not understand what I am trying to say until you reach 5+ feet without finding a life jacket and also pulling your family in one hand and seeing your seniors struggling more in 8+ feet. :)
NOTE: BTW, no offense. I thought to express what I am saying in different way. I understand what you meant. Cheers.

Not really. Every has the freedom to chose what they like or not. Exactly because of these rude attitude of Hindi People I never speak hindi.
I'm a South Indian and I have never had issues with Hindi or Hindi-speaking people. In fact, many of my friends are Hindi-speaking and I'm quite well-versed with the language as well (why not?). You cannot make a blanket statement saying that everyone speaking a particular language is rude or has bad attitude. Just goes to show one's ignorance.
Just look around and see what's keeping this country together? You can move from NY to LA without having to think twice. Try doing that back home ;)

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.
Thanks,

They will definitely accept the copies of the check. The reason I applied my I-140 in May 07 and didn't got any receipt and I intend to file PPS for which I require copy of I-140 but when I talked to the customer service they suggested me this solution and after that I got my check photocopies from my employer
neeraj,
if the employer does not give u the check then we cant send check copies. :-(

What is fair is that we treat everyone here (and everywhere else for that matter) with respect without regard to the country of birth or the EB category. Some are more educated than others, some are more skilled than others, and some are more lucky than others when it comes to green card but what is common to everyone of us is that we are in this mess together. To be honest I don't think we are here to figure out what's best for United States, we are here to get our green card, live the American dream, and make the best out of it.
Therefore, let's not make this GC journey anymore difficult than it already is by fighting amongst ourselves about who is more skilled and who is more deserving. Besides, constant bickering among the IV members will only further divide and alienate more members and won't help us in any way so I suggest that we avoid doing/saying things that has the potential of dividing or alienating members.

I have been to the indian consulate couple of times and what I have seen so far is that people staying in the US take the consulate officers for granted.
People take the token and start filling up the form in the consulate itself, they will be at the window and will be pasting photograph or filling up the form itself on the counter.
I think the consulate officer should ask people that will you behave the same way at an US consulate??
People become impatient just waiting for 10 minutes as if they entire indian consulate has been waiting for them to show up at the office.
The way we Indians behave boarding a flight in US, the same does not happen in India. The way we behave with the consulate officers at Indian consulate does not happen at the US consulate. Why do not the same people trying filling up the form at the US consulate or try pasting photograph and even run to grab the original when they are at an US consulate.
We want the same level of professional at the Indian consulate then we need to show the same level of professional at Indian consulate that we show at US consulates.

Deepak
Interesting observations Deepak. Issues are not very simple and are very deeply rooted to even think about changing them. To begin with there are tooooooooo many mouths to feed and people still dont realize the importance of population control:(:( Whe demand heavily outweighs available resourses then competition increases (basic to Darwinism). Primal instincts of survival come into play and behavioural modifications visible in the western nation are easily wiped off. Generally people have a desire that things be in an order but unfortunately due to the population stress prevailing in India, "disorder, corruption, favoritism" are the "order".
Will your generation be able to see this change? Possibly not?
Introduce the same stressors in the west and you will notice the same habbits surface here too. Natures way of dealing I guess??
One thing is for sure; If you practice non-violence in thought and action then chances are that your surroundings will ultimately reflect that same back to you. The way you react is most important than what the surroundings actually are. :D:D:D:D:D
Just read through a few posts in this thread and you will see "different" types of reactions and the ensuing emotions....That is all going no where. It all goes back into the global cloud of emotions and thoughts that you and me subscribe to, to live through this life.....Putting good out and taking good in is the only thing we can do...

Guys, let me say something here.
$5000 for one query is not an unfair amount of money. The reason I say this is because I know a thing or two about writing quality queries, I have done that for the last 6 years of my 9 year career querying the heck out of Oracle CRM.
It does take time to write queries and the time it takes depends on how many pieces of information you want to bring together. The wider your spreadsheet is for the final output, the more islands of data need to be connected to fetch that output. Those who are familiar with SQL would know that I am talking about going thru potentially 20-25 tables and joining them to get data. This is probably not going to be a select * from 485_cases kind of query. If it takes 100 hours of time to write such a query, at $50 per hour of programming time, it could be 5000. Most likely it may be fewer hours if they have a programmer with knowledge on staff.
The problem here is not 5000 dollars. The problem here is that the situation is hopeless because they dont assign country of chargeability to pending 485 cases up until they are ready to approve them, if I read it correctly. The data that is not captured is the data that cannot be queried, simple as that.
And on that note, thanks to "Needhelp!" for shining some light on USCIS process thru her FOIA.

If you e-filed and no FP notice then you won't be getting EAD in 90 days.
The day you get FP notice from that at least two weeks after FP will be scheduled. After FP it takes 2 weeks to further processed (Card + approval).
Although USCIS says to contact after 90 days, you should think in terms of getting infopass.
Could anyone else provide some more input?
Mine is paper based. Does anyone know how long it takes when its paper based?

I am preparing I131 (AP) renewal application for me and my family. For my son, who is 8 years old, do I need to fill "Part 9. Signature of Person preparing the form, if other than the applicant" since I am preparing this form? OR can I just sign Part 8 on-behalf of my son?
G-28 form says it needs to be filled in case if you use Attorney or Representative. Just wondering whether I need to fill a G-28 form for the above AP renewal application for my son since I am filling Part 9 in his application.
Can somebody clarify? Thanks for your help.

A lawsuit against USCIS for $20, thats cheap, I am in. BRC screwed me twice, when both labors went to BRC with no outcome then I filed third in PERM and thatwhy I am stuck with 2005 Sep PD with folks who just came to US in last 12 months and filing for 485 now. I know most of BRC folks are still stuck there and I am with them, lets get this cleared and have celebrations with all of us.

First of all, the interpretation of the new provisions itself is subjective. Different interpretations, corrections, amendments to interpretations, etc will lead to another mess, after the provisions pass into law. As you already know, IV volunteers are currently researching on the hard country allocation issue, which may arguably worsen the retrogression for Chinese/Indians.
Let us assume that we are still able to pass the final provisions including the provision for amended soft country allocation. Imagine the number of applications that will flood the USCIS if the priority dates are adjusted to allow for all the eligible applicants. Do you foresee another backlog formation similar to the backlog centers that were formed for reducing labor applications and the mess they are in, currently?. Please note that the staff for USCIS will not increase, atleast for the next 1 year, until they figure out the volume of applications created with the new law and identify the magnitude of the staff shortage.
Even though I do feel that the existing retrogression will ease, if the provisions under consideration are passed into law; however USCIS will still keep some form of retrogression to control the flow of applications, especially for the EB3 category. In such a scenario, it is preferable that the USCIS allows the 485 filing and provides the EAD. EB3 applicants will be better off knowing that their 485s/EADs are in process/available, while waiting for the GC. So, even if the Eb3 applicant has to wait for 2-3 years (instead of the current 5 years) to get his final GC, he is atleast not dependent on his current employer.
I think, 485 filing ability is critical to the plight of EB3 applicants.
I don't believe you are right. Cut-off dates are not established based on the USCIS workload and its staffing, but rather on the predicted balance between demand for and supply of GCs. Therefore if worst comes to worst we will see a backlog at the USCIS level again, ie their processing time will go way beyond today's 6 months. BUt if the DOS believes that they have enough GC available to meet the demand in each and every particular quarter they will adjust cut-off dates accordingly.
