Sadly so... Even saddest part is that many of them dont know about
it. Any many who knows don't put a fight either...See the result of monthly
campaigns....
Retrogession and PD not current is a Modern form of Slavery... We are Highly Educated, Law Abiding, Tax Paying Slaves to this broken immigration system

I am not sure what a_to_z_Gc is looking for more details, but I would like to now if your case was transferred from NSC to CSC and back.
Those whose cases have transferred back to NSC have not received the FP notices. I would like to know if your case was transferred back to NSC.
My case was transferred from NSC to CSC, and then to TSC. I guess its because my I-140 was approved by TSC. I got my FP notices from TSC.

Hello all..
In what circumstances does the USCIS issue a H1B approval without the i194 reciept in the bottom..?
that will be a worse scenario if we have to leave the country and face that stupid Madras embassy(my worst nightmare..) for the H1 stamping...!!
I don't want to fall from the pan into the fire..!!
I think in these cases it will be an Change of Status situation..
pls post your comments...

I do have copy of labor approval but I donot have copy of job description that they filed for labor. I also have copy of 140 approval.
I don't think I can get letters from HR (there are couple of people who handles everything from getting timesheets to posting payslips) as they very loyal to my employer.
Then I guess my only options are
- give it a try to file through another attorney with paystubs and without employer letter.
- forget about $5000 and proceed.

EB-3 india is not yet completely out of 245(i) mess. If you remember the last month's priority date was 22Apr 2001. Now in Jan priority date is 08May2001. 245(i) ended on Apr30th 2001. So this month's progress still includes 8 days of 245(i). I would imagine that more cases were filed from Apr 22 - Apr 30 as this was the last week. So its still a long way to go before EB3 is completely out of 245(i).

What I know about America that if you don't have money, hospitals are supposed to take care, if you have money, hospital will squeeze every penny.
Once I spent over a month trying to find solution: Could not get: for a female it seems to be mandatory having maternity insurance otherwise, after pregnancy, no one insures.
I thinks people lack information in this context, so you are not getting responses.
Thanks and I appreciate your response.
A green from me, at least I can give you this green!

Because of sudden influx of projects coming to India last year, there was a temporary upsurge in the demand for skilled personnel in india ....So there are many options for these people which caused the higher attrition as they have many options open....So temporarily these IT Companies used to retain highly skilled employees at any cost and kept them in front line and recruited some freshers (i have seen one company recruited freshers and charged them 50,000 ...you heard it right :0 initally with the commitment of 2 years).
As the freshers are catching up with the experienced ..i see a sharp decline in demand my area of expertise from past 6 months to an Year .... But from CEO point of view , still work is done ..with 40 % or more saving ..may be for little compromise on quality ....
I have a feeling that attrition rate may slow down in coming years .....
Any one please share your views /experiences ..

I know you didn't advise me/anyone - I too expressed my view.
I still do NOT understand how a USCIS error can prevent me from re-applying !! There was a Post yesterday at IV by a gentleman from IOWA who called Up USCIS and they confirmed that it will be accepted. I PM'ed him because i was not sure if IOWA allows you to Voice-record "evidence" - He told me that USCIS recorded the call as a general Practice.
I doubt they will release their own recording to be used against them and also they says we "may" record for "Training and Quality" purpose.The best Option would be if we take Permission from the CSR and record that conversation at our end - I can't do that because the STATE i live dont allow that.
I am not advising anyone anything, I just shared what I did. This time , I did not go through a lawyer.
Something similar happened in Oct'05 and the priority dates remain retrogressed for next almost two year. It was just by stroke of fate it became current now , otherwise the situtation would have persisted.
If my memory serve me right, there were some cases back in Oct'05 whose application were rejected in error but were not allow to refile as PD had retrogressed.
Do what you want to do, I am just sharing what I did and I may be wrong. Personally after having missed one window of opportunity in Oct'05 , I have no capability to take any more risk.

This whole GC system is so unfavorably tilted and discriminatory towards Indians its unbelievable.
I also think its very unfair. I being EB3 India with PD of August 2001 is stuck whereas someone in my same category who is EB3 World who filed 2 yrs later than me is now elig to get greencard.
This f.... sucks. Stupid f system

This is a really good initiative. I appreciate the IV core for taking this up. I have read enough stories from people on Murthy forums. I will ask people on those forums to post their stories first hand on IV forums.
If possible contact other forum moderators and post this message/link. We need more support to fix this issue.

Since we already applied for I-485, I am keeping my fingers crossed. Her employment letter (submitted) only says that she is employed with the company and her employment is valid till 2008.
Isn't valid/unexpired I-94 counts as legal status not the approval notice. Also what if the employee takes a un-paid leave of absence due to health reasons etc.
I am sure so many in the same boat. Is there anything we could do?

unity can work -
let us all unite and file on July 2, the first day. those that lag do so by choice.
please don't say people are selfish and will sell you for a buck etc. the point is, people here are being very helpful to each other. thanks for all the great posts here folks. definitely people here are more responsive than my corporate lawyers right now. and they are sharing formats, links, responses from their lawyers etc. i think everyone is happy to help others as long as there is no loss to themselves.
you have to see the incentive structure and then construct the unity argument. people have no incentive to wait. however, they will unite if they have something to gain. that is why forums such as these are popular.
again, thanks everyone for their help and encouragement.
PS - us filing fewer applications probably does not help. as i have posted elsewhere on this forum, USCIS thought that they were unable to use up all the visa numbers for FY 2007. this comes out of the 485 processing they have been doing till date. they are trying to fill up the 485 filing pipe for the next FY and further out. so, if the USCIS folks see enough 485 filings to fill up the next FEW years expected quotas they will shut it down. not sure how many filers that will take.

Thank YOU!!
Dude, I have been sparring with Pappu and Starsun for quite some time now. IV needs to be a "Paying Members Only" organisation.
Per some statistics regularly floating around here, IV has 40,000 odd members. A membership fee as small as $1/month!! ($12/year), will INSURE a steady flow of funds, that will make a HUGE difference.
Even if 20,000 of that 40,000 run away due to the $12.00/yr subscription requirement, that still leaves IV with almost a QUARTER million dollars worth of cash at hand, .
thats a good idea, and at the same time we also need to show our numbers.
I would say, lets make this a $5 monthly membership org. IV can help you much more than your Immigration attorney can.
I'm not aware of any one else who directly deals with USCIS and with chambers of govt.
Yes focus is needed right now, since after 4 years CIR is off the table and its time for piece meal bills which need renewed campaigning
Many are a bit selfish just concerned with their particular case and want a quick answer, but don't want to help the high skilled community as a whole.
you can click on member list and just on top the current count is 45,676

Everyone,
We have received information that the Comprehensive Immigration Bill will be voted soon and the bill will be closed for amendments on Wednesday. That leaves only 2 working days to get something done
The text for the bill was only released in the evening on March 28th
As you have seen from the document released by IV that H2A workers will now be able to get citizenship in 11 years and self petition themselves. But legal skilled workers
1) will not be able to self petition
2) the wait to citizenship as it stands today is definitely more than 11 years
3) and all the left-over visas from EB1, EB2 and EB3 will now go to EB5 category
We really need to make sure that everyone is aware of the unfair treatment meted out to legal skilled immigrants and will be doing the following
1) We will be putting up webfaxes to send to senators asking for similar treatment to legal skilled immigrants too. They should be up by 5.00 PM EST. Make sure you login and send a webfax ASAP.
How can I send the fax?
a) Login,
b) click on the 'Home' link on the top of the page,
c) then click on the 'WebFax' link on the left hand side menu options,
d) enter your information,
e) Select webfax # 10 and #11 and your state
f) Send the fax
2) We need to contact each and every company like Microsoft/Intel (and any other to which IV members belong) that depends on skilled immigrants for their functioning. We need to make sure that their HR and CEO know about this.
a) If you are not comfortable with speaking about this to your HR/CEO (and we don't see any reason why), please send us the email id of the right person in HR and your CEO. We will not put your name anywhere but send a polite email to them on behalf of Immigration Voice. We will NOT spam them (just a single email) and will not name any person in the email. Remember that this is just to get their attention so that they can do the right thing.
Email shrey@immigrationvoice.org or nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org with the subject - Contacts for
b) On the other hand if you are comfortable speaking about this directly to your HR/CEO that carries a lot more weightage. Contact us and we will give you all the material you need to talk to your company decision makers. In that case, email shrey@immigrationvoice.org or nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org with the subject - Willing to speak to folks from
A list of companies where there are already IV members willing to speak to their employers is in the second post (summary post). Send us an email and we will put the folks in the same company in touch with each other so that they can approach their HR/CEO collectively
3) We need to contact each and every media person that we know of so that they also realize the urgency of the situation. If you have any leads for any media contact, please send an email to rajesh@immigrationvoice.org or sunil@immigrationvoice.org with the subject Media contact for
4) Last time we sent about 385 faxes. This time 385 will not cut it. We need atleast a couple thousand faxes to get our job done. We need every member of IV + spouse and much more to achieve the kind of deluge we intend. Get atleast 5 new members to IV. I am sure most of us can call up atleast 5 more friends who might not know of IV but will be affected by the above. This may, for all practical reasons, be the final push from IV and we need as much support from everyone as possible.
5) If you have any other idea to get our information out to everyone, email shrey@immigrationvoice.org or jay@immigrationvoice.org or nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org with the subject line Other Ideas
Also a quick note, please do not expect a reply from IV core members to your emails unless you are speaking to your firm's folks and need some info from IV. We are really busy in getting everything going. Thanks for understanding.
Please spread the word.

He's a full blown liberal both fiscally and socially.
I would think coming from MI, a state that has one of the highest unemployment, and the relief that the auto industry got - it continues to exist because of those liberal fiscal policies.
Besides, his being liberal fiscally/socially has nothing to do with our issues. He is probably the best ally for our issue in the democratic circle...
