Got my approval but my spouse hasn't yet received one.
We e-filed it together through the same account. My LIN was constantly getting updated with the status but not my husband. I also received the notification when my application was approved. I got my approval in the mail today too (about 1 month turnaround time) .But we haven't received any notification on my husband's case. And the online status hasn't changed either. Did anybody else face this? Not sure how to follow-up. Any pointers?
Call the 1-800 number in the approval notice and select the options 1->7->4->3 and they will be able to help check the status of the application. You need the receipt no when you call them

login to paypal and then click on send money. you will then see a text box saying To: Enter donations@immigrationvoice.org corresponding to that. Enter the amount you are willing to contribute and click on send money.Please PM me if you need further help
Its kind of confusing to make a one time donation.. and there should be two more options of $25 and $50 for one time contribution....
Can anyone tell me how to contribute one time and for the amount not mentioned on first page..
I think we should follow Hillary and Obama's grassroot campaign, whereby asking for smaller amount and that way make people more willing to contribute in smaller amounts...

Hello All,
I am on H1 Visa and I am planning to go for further studies and converting my H1 to F1.
Now after completing my studies, can I use same H1 petition from Old Quota or I have to apply again in Fresh H1 Quota.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks and Regards,

My employer sent in 30+ applications on July 2nd and said he doesn't know which one is my tracking number..but i guess i could use any one of those 30 tracking nos for proof, couldnt i?
Shd we be expecting rejection letters from USCIS per applicant stating the reason for rejection??? If not then what proof do we have for potential benefits of lawsuit?!? Confused :(

It would soon be 9 years for me to be here in US, my 2001 app is in DBEC. I have been with the same company for almost 7 years, have survived through rounds of layoffs, and so many other personal issues, I can not even count.
Despite this I am willing to stay here and give it some more time.
For the first time in last many years, while my app was rotting at SWA, I have seen an concentrated effort by an organization to raise immigration issues.
I am willing to see what IV does and how far reaches in it's goals, at least various lawmakers are aware of our problems now.
Keep the faith, hang in there, this is a really long tunnel but after so many reversals, it about time we see something positive done for us.
As for the those who say, "US doesn't care, i will go back, US will get hurt", I don't buy that argument, US will not get hurt, despite so many problems US still remains a magnet that attracts talent from all over the world.
If you leave, or if I leave will have very little impact. And even if u go back and start working for TCS or Wipro, they will send you back to US on a project.
Unless you want to start your own business, I don't see much benefit in going back and working for the big consulting companies. And if you want to start business, why not start here, who is stopping you? ok, i know there are limitations on H1 etc, but there are many loophopes work around those.
And what if things change in India? if things are not in your favor there, where will run from there? where will you go?
My point being that we have a pretty decent chance to getting some immigration relief here, IV is working towards it, instead of saying "forget it" I am leaving, let's all learn to fight.
Let's all learn to work to solve this problem. Work with IV, work yourself to get one of these bills passed.
If nothing else, lets's all make it a point that every 2 weeks, we will write a letter to our lawmakers explaining the problem and asking for relif. every other week write to a media channel.
Even if you are not great at writing letters, just write what you can and send, it doesn't need to be perfect.
Eventually, someone will notice, eventually someone will do something about it.
So, for all those who are thinking of running away, I am saying, how about stay here and fight here. Let's stop taking the easy path out everytime, if you want your benfit, stay and do something positive.
your's truly,
Sangam.

Yeah me too, in 2005 a company wanted to apply for me in EB3, though I was qualified for EB2. I didn't feel it was right to apply in EB3, unless you were a fresher.
I quit and joined an Wall street company in 2007, who finally applied in the right category
.
For me it was not EB3...I decided not to start GC as I was not married. I didnt know one can retain PD even after changing the company or hold up after I140.

So far there have been around 100k approvals in EB3 category out of about 170k (unused family visas made available to emploment based category) approvals in employment based category. Out of that EB2 approvals are around 50k only. Now the scenario would be like 100k approvals in EB2 and out of that 50k would be exclusively for EB2 India, leaving very little share to china. Now you could presume how fast EB2 runs.

My dear friend you don't understand a thing, and are poorly informed!
EB visas account for only 14% of total visas awarded. Those previous "hallowed" GCs you lament about, have been given to countless refugees, asylees, Family Based Immigrants , in countless Amnesties to illegals - way before we took to the streets. Your uncles and aunts weren't the only ones who got GCs back then, they shared it with a majority of others who didn't even pass highschool!
If you look at the current process, 50,000 GCs are given away in a lottery to any one who applies - no qualifications necessary ( so called "Diversity Visas"). A large number of GC applicants claim that they are too poor to pay the fees (asylees and refugees) and they get it gratis! Many get GCs for no reason other than their brother or sister is a US citizen ( in fact they out number us 3-to-1).
Regarding taking to the steets , if Gandhi hadn't taken to the streets you'd still see 'Dogs and Indians not allowed' signs all over India. If MLK hadn't taken inspiration from Gandhi and taken to the streets in USA, there would still be openly 'Whites Only' places here. If Nelson Mandela hadn't been inspired by Gandhi and taken to the streets, there would still be Apartheid in South Africa. Taking to the streets doesn't make one "cheap".
How do you say H1 person is unworthy, where as F1 is smart? A lot of smart F1s later transition into H1s smartly to continue here while waiting for their GCs. If your intent was to prove your "F1" smartness and superiority, you are not helping your cause, by making such ill-informed and frivolous statements!
A visa (or lack of it) doesn't make a person worthy or unworthy. He/she needs to be a good human being first, who understands the sacrifices made by others.
smartness + Good human being = worthy person
smartness + asinine attitude = SmartAss
What do you want to be? Choice is yours
I did not go to DC because i did not want to get the green card this way.I grew upwatching aunts,uncles coming from USA bearing gifts.I grew up watching cousins go for USA for higher studies.It used to be so special. Now its become so cheap. Now you guys have literally taken it to the streets. There's no difference between those illegal immigrants and us. This H1visa has ruined it for really smart students who come here on F1 with full scholarship.
This software industry and these cheap bodyshopping companies made it nothing more than a whore business.
My heart is broken. I dont care anymore.thats why i did not come to DC.

Following is copied from Greg Siskind's Blog, and it makes me wonder if it means that those who who filed I-140 by mail can submit I-485 with the I-140 receipt number only that can be obtained from the cleared check?
---------
But you need an I-140 receipt to file the adjustment petition and the I-140 receipt can take forever to get. So what to do?
File the I-140 electronically, of course. You get a receipt right off your own printer. Then submit the I-485 with that receipt. Brilliant and so simple.

Frankly speaking, i am not a sufferer from BEC, but i want to know more about this mess.
Does the FIFO means, they process the applications in FIFO order, Does it mean that they approve also in the FIFO order? I think both processing and approving are different. Whoever got the case with less complications, will first get the approval and whose case got more complications, takes more time. Is it correct? I may be wrong. I think thats the reason why 2004 PDs may come out BEC fast sometimes as they put the case strongly and clearly.
Don't shout at me, i may be wrong.
Risker,
I am very glad that you brought this point. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing the DOL. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter and deliberate disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on the DOL web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
Some folks have pointed that the lawsuit is not worth, as it has little chance of winning. To me personally, more than winning or loosing, it is a matter of bringing injustice to the light, as Gandhi has said something in this line: First step against injustice is to make it visible. This law suit will bring public scrutiny to the misdeeds of the DOL.
Even if all the backlogs get cleared by September 2007, severe damage has been already dealt to our lives. Though I am close to getting my labor clearance (I filed RRI few weeks back), I am strongly in favor of continuing with the law suit even after getting the labor clearance.
Let’s get IV’s attention and support in this area. Let’s talk to AILA. Let’s write letters to senators and house representatives (congresswoman Lofgren may be good person to start with). Let’s write to media personnel. Let’s do whatever needs to be done to expose this insult and injury to the immigrants who waited in the line for years and followed rules of the game.
