    gO learn the concept of supply and demand before asking a question as to why banks are lowering their appraisals!

    Yes, I do agree that we should have some sense of personal responsibility and that is why the middle way is to rent out the house (probably at a bit lower price than your monthly mortgage) and pay the difference from your pocket - if you have to absolutely move out from the house. But, can somebody answer my question above..........why is the same house (not even a brick changed) being appraised at around 100k lower than it was done 2 years back, by the same bank??

    What Pappu says is right. Ppl have been so impatient that they're bombarding USCIS with SRs, emails, letters from attorneys, Infopass etc..etc...etc...I understand the anxiety but isnt this a bit 2 much? I was no exception to this. I raised an SR on the very first day my date got current and on trying to followup on the SR the very next week, I stumbled upon a clearly tired second level IO who didn't like the way I was pushing for it. He clearly explained to me that there was no need to worry as the dates were current and everyone who was current and cleared of security would be approved as there were several visa numbers available and he also told me that there have been thousands of calls received everyday and its becoming really hard for them to handle the situation. I could see how tired and frustrated he was. I immediately understood their plight and just waited without any further action and within a span of 15 days after that call, I got my approval. My attorney also advised me to wait as he was sure the dates were gonna be current the next month as well and followups would only result in delays.

    Well I'm not saying its wrong to be anxious. Ofcourse, its an important milestone, one that secures our future in this country and yes, its only natural to be anxious. But being anxious doesn't mean that by calling or emailing or Ombudsman etc...ur case will be approved. Try and put yourselves in the IO's shoes as well. For a moment think what it wud be like to be an USCIS first lvl/second lvl IO receiving the same call every minute from a diff person and each one trying to reach the second lvl IO with lies such as my A# on file is diff than the one on 140 OR address change etc...etc...This is ridiculous. After years of wait we resort to such shameful behavior towards the end.

    Yes when others with later PDs are getting approved and u r still waiting, it does bring out frustration in u. But u should also put in thought as to why that could be. Maybe one of the security checks in ur case is awaited or maybe ur file is on some table waiting to be picked up etc...I was venting out my anger and frustration during my wait on this forum and ppl were only asking me to do that, do this blah blah blah. I just waited nevertheless as I knew the moment I spoke with the IO that there was really no point in following up as cases were getting approved and USCIS was definitely WORKING as hard as they could (even on weekends) to clear all current cases.

    There was one dumb idiot who called and spoke to the second level IO (per his own words "just to confirm") even after getting the CPO email. I mean how foolish and idiotic is that. Check this out...I'm not kidding:http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum5-all-other-green-card-issues/1600323-conflicting-info-cpo-email-but-485-pending.html

    Guys, just trust USCIS now that they've been approving left and right before u login to ur email to followup or pick up ur phone to check ur status. EB2 has not moved ahead for the Oct bulletin but ppl who were current from July will still be current in Oct. What does that mean??? It simply means that USCIS is hell bent on clearing all the cases which have been current since July and my best guess is until the last of the "current" cases has been approved, the dates will be not be retrogressed.


    It is fine for you NOW that you received your GC now and "see" the plight of IO. You are drinking cool aid now under the awnings of Green card. It is now tough for you to understand the plight of the people on "this" side as you crossed over to the "other"side. It is the same old story of people who got their GC and Citizenship dont care about the people who are going to wait for dog long years. Imagine what would have you done, if you didn't receive your GC in 15 days time, i am sure that by this time you would have shaked the earth from heaven to hell by calling your senators, ombudsman, alderman, congressmen etc. Instead of giving advice to others to understand the plight of IO's, keep your emotions under check and encourage others to do their best. Do not post unnecessary comments.

    Our friend Smitha doesn't understand the Problem at all.

    I'm in this country since JAN 2000 but my actual Labor was filed in MAR 2005 because my 1st company SOLD my 1st labor ...... Its a PAIN you know - cycle of LC , 140, 485... Like cycle of birth and death...

    Moreover Smitha is talking as if whoever "sent flower"/"stood in rally" made an assumption that a GREEN colored plastic card will be handed over straight off the Grill instantly !!!!!!

    Come On - No one here is a bull head. Everyone knows Visa bulletin will not change much before 2008 but we want to send the message across that we WOULD NOT TOLERATE INJUSTICE AND HARASSMENT SILENTLY.

    Do you get it why peoples are sending Flowers ?????????????

    I exactly know where your statements about 2005-2006-2007 coming from. Your basic assumptions is that 2005-2006-2007 guys are those who just came to US 2-3 yrs back and now want their GC asap whereas you are waiting in line for 6-7 years...right?
    Ma'm with all due respect, that is not correct for most of the cases. There are several people who has to re-file their labor for several reasons (employer greedy, company overtaken, laid-off, company gone bankrupt etc etc.). That does not mean that 2005-2006-2007 guys are asking that they should get GC before 2001-2004 people. What most of the people need is an ability to file for AOS so that they can indepenedent of the clutches of their employers.
    I'm sure if you widen your horizon, you will be able to understand the plight of all your brothers and sisters stuck in this retrogression.

    Excellent idea JBR. Why don't you create a letter template and put it in IV. If we have the facility to sign electronically, it will be nice. Later, it can be sent electronically to all Congress Members. Let us try to create a slogan for our campaign. Any IV member can shed their ideas on this.
    Is PAPPU or any IV Core members following this thread?. PAPPU we need your involvement in this and make this as another IV campaign immediately...

    I'm in. Anything that has action has my support..

    No point in waiting till economy improves and shit like that. Houses, jobs, Social securtity .. Project all the points in which you can improve the crisis. We can ALL also write to firms like REMAX and other reality firms to tell them we are 500 thousand here, ready to buy houses.. stupid idea.. but better than doing nothing..

    To the Original poster -

    As you are charged up on this issue, can you post a detailed blog on this issue? You can post a very detailed blog right from A to Z on IV blogs so that people read and understand this issue. You do not have to reveal your identity to do this.

    You can also update IV wiki - but a wiki must have links to proper sources and must not look like a "Point of View" article

    Finally, we got the approval emails for self & wife.

    I had got an email from TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov last friday (09/17/2010) with the update below-

    1: The review was complete
    2: Visa numbers were requested 2 months ago and all security/prints are current
    3: Files have been forwarded to officers for completion.

    In my case the email to SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov helped a lot. They in turn sent an email to TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov to step up the processing.

    As others have mentioned IV has played a big part throughout this journey. Thank you again.

    If you dont have PR, the rateyou pay is higher. Some deny loans as well.
    This is not true. Recently, me and one of my friend got Home Loan for a good interest rate. It all depend on your credit score and credit history and not PR. You need to provide your papers properly. If you say some statement like this, please provide evidence.

    My case had been sitting with an officer for a month and a half before adjudication.
    For a while I thought I was going to miss the bus, if they ran out of visa numbers.

    No need to worry at all. The cards will arrive very soon. My case pretty much similar.

    MAN !!! this is confusing ...
    -- Sheela Murthy says not to apply multiple I 485
    -- Rajiv Khanna says you should apply
    -- My attorney says .. it is my call....
    -- some guys tell me ... apply independently and then join the one that is reaching towards completion..

    and I am confused and frustrated........
    but really .. what should a man do ??? I will kneel down and ask god .. I will let you guys know what he has to say ..... :(


    Another answer from Rajiv Khanna: on multiple 485s
    I recommend both husband wife file for yourselves and for each other. So between the two , there will be four 485 applications. One: Wife as primary, husband as derivative. Second, husband as primary and wife as derivative. We do this all the time and this is the safest thing to do. You will keep whichever 485 set gets approved, first, the other will be rejected by CIS.

    But are n't they proposing 50 % rule.. how can a small desi company afford 50 % US citizen staff ? That is why may be people think consulting companies will not work.

    but what I think is it will make them less profitable. Very small body shoppers will go out of business. Med to large indian owner based consulting companies will be less profitable.

    Guys with stock investment in indian IT compnies Heads UP !

    50% rule - Does this cover only US Citizens or includes GC as well? not clear... may be senators didn;t think about GC folks in this bill... A lot of the companies, I believe will have 50% with GC holders/citizens/T1/OPT/Add any other visa category who can work.. Since the bill restricts only H1B/L1.

    There are some assumptions, I guess on above post, that americans are paid more etc... which is totally wrong... A lot of the folks in this community, I believe, based on my own experience are paid more or at par with american counterparts. (I guess, about the profitability, if you mean it in terms of less productivity, I agree with that.)

    I guess the genuine companies will move the H1/L1 staff abroad along with positions to meet this requirements if at all this becomes law. What that means is more job loss in US. (Whether US has 50% of total "high skilled" work force necessary to run the operations of all the companies is another important question... I do not think so, may be the senators are considering highschool dropouts to handle the "high skilled" jobs :), I read somewhere about a recent survey and only 27% of 25-45 age group of population has a college degree in all discipline. I will try to find the link)

    Over all, I see this move by senators as short sited and will prove disastrus to America in long run given the fact that no other country in the world is as dependent on technology / research and development as US.

    Dear Vamsi, SVK, NK, Shahuja, Abuddyz, and all eligible visa aspirants:

    I just got an email from the Chennai consulate, 29th day from the interview, stating the visa was stamped today:

    "Thank you for your e-mail.

    Our records show that your visa was issued today, January 31. You
    should be receiving your passport/visa soon.

    Visa Information Unit
    American Consulate General

    Chennai 600006, India
    Telephone: 91 44 2857 4242
    Fax: 91 44 2811 2027

    Website: http://chennai.usconsulate.gov"

    This means there is light at the end of the tunnel. Please have faith in your abilities, and in your God. You will hear back soon.

    Moral of the story: "Never use a Consulate in India for visa re-validation again."

    Please learn from this story, and never again trust Consulates in India for extension purposes.

    God bless you all.:)

    How do you know that experience in Canada or Mexico will be any different from experience in India? It can be only better at a consulate that hasn't yet implemented PIMS, which I don't think there are any at this point. At least you are at home with family. I think the worst is to be stuck in Canada or Mexico for a month. I think the moral of the story is to use AP whenever possible.

    Hi,

    what is Technology Alert List ... can you please elaborate a bit ...

    on a different note, how is the Kolkata consulate doing on PIMS aspect ... am planning for a visit back home and need to go for visa stamp as well - last stamp expired ...

    ~Sammy

    DOS has raised its flags for any illegal technology transfer blah blah blah..

    Here is an article about it http://www.murthy.com/news/uktech.html

    I know a few ppl who got stuck coz of their areas of research/or job (Like Nuclear Research, Semi conductors etc etc etc). These ppl were subject to additional background checks which resulted in some extra delays.

    I am not sure of Kolkatta consulate, but my feel is that PIMS delays are everywhere.

    Another thought... they might have been confused with EAD through L1/B1 etc dependent and EAD through pending AOS. The first case is temporary and depends on the primary applicant status. See if thats their concern and clarify...
    Good luck!!!

    yagw

    It does not matter. EAD is unrestricted employment authorization and has no conditions attached due to basis it was issued. Of course, EAD can be revoked due to basis no longer available (such as expiration of L2 Status), but person can work as long as EAD is valid.

    Form I-9 Employment Verification - Form I-9 Services from Form I-9 Compliance, LLC (http://www.formi9.com/form-i9-faqs.aspx)

    [From the link]
    Q. Can I avoid reverifying the I-9s by not hiring persons whose employment authorization has an expiration date?

    A. You cannot refuse to hire persons solely because their employment authorization is temporary. The existence of a future expiration date does not preclude continuous employment authorization for an employee and does not mean that subsequent employment authorization will not be granted. In addition, consideration of a future employment authorization expiration date in determining whether an alien is qualified for a particular job could be an unfair immigration-related employment practice.
