I also think that the NSC Service Center update issued on November 20th, 2006 is not still valid. ( To file 485 without i 140 receipt notice)
Actually NSC was very slow in processing receipt notices during that time and hence the update was issued.
But now, the maximum time to send out a receipt notice is 15 days. So I am not sure if we can rely on that update.
Did u find anywhere that this NSC update is invalid, if yes please provide more info.

How many members, especially GC bitten members, does IV
Even if 90% of the members donate on an average $75, would that reach the goal?
I am trying to analyze. We need to bump up the funding to ace this opportunity.
Thanks much for all who donated $$$, skypmiles, carpool, etc for this cause.

1. What happens when changing employers when I-140 and I-485 pending for less than 180 days?
The key criteria here is an approved I-140 + I-485 pending for more than 180 days. My understanding is that if you do not satisfy both clauses, you will have to re-start the process again when you change employers
Having an approved 140 and a 485 pending for more than six months is the safe method of switching. For AC21, the key is to have your 485 pending for more than six months. You can use AC21 to switch employers after six months of filing of 485 even if your 140 is not approved. Its not a simple process but folks have done it.

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

This is another example where lot of noise made and then nothing happens.
People talk here about filing lawsuit as it it is easy as filing something and on first hearing, judgment will be passed in their favor. Of course, no one even bothers to get initial professional advice.
Soon, we will have some other topic that will have similar discussion and similar fate.
Good Luck to everyone.

Remember that these numbers are first categorized and then assigned to applicants on a per country basis. In other words, a visa number if it is EB2, should be assigned to EB2 (no matter what) before it goes to EB3. If it is EB1 visa number and for it to become a EB2 visa number, there should not be any need for that number in EB1 category.
Nixstor,
A lot of people argue that these categories are not defined as hard and fast percentages, but that rather the definition of EB-1 already includes spill-over from EB-4/5, EB-2 includes spill-over from EB-1, etc., and that 202(a)(5)(A) actually refers to already spilled-over categories (i.e. the place where they talk about the total number of visas).
I guess this point as to how exactly spillover happens is very moot, and the law is quite open to interpretation. They should have really defined this more clearly with the AC21 amendment, rather than have people waste their time with lawsuits and stuff like that.

Guys wait till you see "real" bulletin and even if mirror to what has been placed to Mumbai Consulate, EB3 will forward perhaps slowly now but picking up. EB3-India with PD 2004 mid and before will not have to worry that much.

Hi guys,
This is what my lawyer said.
If you/spouse have used your EAD or are using your EAD then your "Current Immigration Status" is "Adjustment of Status Pending/Parolee". If not then it is either H1B or H4.
If you/spouse have actually travlled outside the US and re-entered using the Advanced parole, then your "Manner of Last Entry" is "Parolee". If not then it is what it says on your I-94 (H1B or H4).
You do **NOT** need the $80 Biometric fee for the Advanced Parole.
Guys,
do any body know what documents a minor need for reentry using AP?
Do they need EAD or just I-485 receipt is enough. please reply ASAP.
thanks

Here are some of my own personal thoughts:
How can one tell a percentage number for something to pass? What kind of data can we base our calculations on?
Who said EB3 India will not forward next year? Did DOS say that? An individual lawyer is not Dept. Of State. I would like to see a written proof from DOS saying this so that we can plan ahead.
There were many naysayers for the July 2007 bulletin. But IV was able to get it current again. So stop believing in predictions and believe in yourself.
Thanks for your time and response!
I thought that anyone close to the bill processes or people who work on those, should be able to predict; probably know by now if this (HR 5882) is going to happen or not. Pappu, I bet you must be in a better position than me to know (not to decide, ofcourse) about the plight of this bill. I would be surprised if you deny.
It wasn't Ron's mere prediction but based on his discussion with Charles Oppenheim.
http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5456
This is what he understands from the conversation:
The strong impression that I took away from the converstaion, and this is only my interpretation, not what was said explicity, is the following:
The good news: the CIS backlog isn't as big as previously feared and their productivity is at an all time high;
More good news: China EB3 had almost caught up with worldwide EB3 and is likely to do so next year;
The bad news: when visa numbers become available again, India EB3 is going to be back where it was almost a year ago and it is not likely to move forward much in the next fiscal year.
More bad news: 40% to 45% of the entire backlog is Indian EB2 and EB3.
And barring, July 2007, EB3 I has moved only inches in the last 2-3 years and that's how much it would move in the next 2-3 years (and that's assuming a similar efficiency pattern that USCIS exhibited this year).
I am not trying to open a new can of worms here but reminding of an old one that is already existing - EB3 India. The most priviliged to remain in this god damn queue for as long as they wish and even beyond that.

I applied for my spouse's PIO card (to the Houston consulate) in January, we recd it in about a month.
Here is a list of what I sent:
1. Two copies (with photographs) of the completed PIO application
2. Three additional 35 mm x 35 mm photographs (not sure if this is reqd or not, some of the other consulate websites mentioned xtra photos, so we just sent them)
3. Money order for US $385 in favor of �Consulate General of India, Houston� (includes $20 towards express mail charge for return of PIO card)
4. Notarized copy of relevant pages of spouse's foreign passport
5. Notarized copy of spouse's birth certificate
6. Notarized copy of relevant pages of spouse's father�s Indian passport (proof of father�s Indian citizenship and permanent residence in India)
7. Copy of relevant pages of spouse's mother�s Indian passport as proof of mother�s Indian citizenship and permanent residence in India
8. Copy of relevant pages of spouse's family�s ration card showing residential address.
9. Copy of my electric bill showing current US address
10. Letter of employment showing proof of long term residence/ job in US.
11. Copy of H1 approval notice and visa copy.
We probably sent more than the minimum required, so you will have to draw your own conclusions on what to send and what to omit.
Good luck!
