I have talked to IV leadership and they have agreed to hold a rally in March 1st Week, if sufficient numbers indicate willingness to participate.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=303461
So can we please stop blaming IV leaders and start showing them our support by indicating our support?
No one is blaming IV core my friend, but we all need to unite and do something big. We cant just wait for our partner to do something.
Yes, we should hold a rally in March in DC, and what we should do is, members who agreed to come and join us good enough,
The ones who are lazy, can continue to be lazy , you all have seen the bulletin and EAD is not green card. You are welcome to take your lazy chances,
I thought INDIANS were to stand together and fight a battle, this is a battle for the justice of immigrants in this country. I understand and I am versed with life in America, it is stressful. But think for a moment,will the green card make it better? If yes then join us.
This time we will use a different approach.
1. We will have banners on DESI stores
2. We will collect money from IV members.
3. We will contact the media for attention
Lets do this,
Good Luck

There are hundreds of thousands of us, stuck in retrogression! There's no excuse not to bring 10,000+ to the rally! Let's think guys! Let's promote the rally more, talk to all your friends, visit blogs, univeristy international associations, etc and spread the word! Let's sponsor people, invest our finances and our time. If there was ever a moment in our lives to do this it is now! Once you get your green card you can go and start your company and be a millionaire if you want. Right now we have to suffer, give our money, time and effort and bring LOTS of people to Washington! Illegals did it for God's sake! Let's GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Ken,
The reason that the USPS is not showing your documents delivered could be many. One of the biggest reasons that I have experienced is "unable to scan the bar code". This is more probable if you had printed the mailing label and affixed it on the envelope with a tape. Sometimes the tape can overlap the bar code making the bar code difficult to be scanned. I frequently use USPS priority mail and in about 10% of the cases this happens. But I never had a lost priority mail piece.
Additionally the fact that you had a soft LUD on 9/28, I would think that LUD was for the reason that USCIS received the documents. I had applied AP online on the same date as you did, sent docs via priority mail the next day. USPS showed that the documents delivered on 9/25 and had soft LUDs on 9/25 and 9/28.
Hope this helps!

As you said I 485 filed + 180 days. So you are out of danger.
1. You can check if your I 140 was revoked using your LIN number for I 140 if you have one
2. To safely use AC21, find out your job title, job description and salary mentioned while filing your I 485
3. Your I 140 should be approved
4. then you can use AC21 with H1B transfer or with your EAD. I would advice to use AC21
5. your sponsoring H1B employer should mention the same job title and job duties as it is mentioned in EVL (employment letter) while filing your 485
6. If you have hired an attorney he would then send a AC21 letter(just a formal letter) with your new offer letter, with your 485 receipt number and 140 number (if you have).
That should take care about your AC21.
Good luck.
Thanks a lot bro
LIN # is that the Reciept Number for I 140 if yes then the online status on that says "Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On July 26, 2006, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.
"
but this got a soft LUD on 12/30/2007 but the message is the same as it was ever.
which is also a Answer to your Question 3.
But the only thing is my lawyer did not file any job offer letter while appling for my I 485 as i did not had any as i did mentioned we had a disagreement and the employer is not willing to give me any letter.
but my current employer is a best person to work with and he is ready to help me at any extend he will not mind doing anything which will help me getting my green card.
Please advice if this could be an issue not having the employer letter while filling the I 485.
Thanks

There is no "Prince William County" in Maryland. List of counties in Maryland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_counties_in_Maryland)
What we have is a "Prince George's County", which joined the 287 g program in December 2009. St. Mary's County Joins Controversial Federal Immigration Initiative - Southern Maryland Headline News (http://somd.com/news/headlines/2010/11667.shtml)
The article may be talking about "Prince William County" in Virginia, which is participating in 287 g program since 2/26/2008.
Partners (http://www.ice.gov/partners/287g/Section287_g.htm)
Right, Pick up the issue with immigration policy organization, and get the clarification, whether the county is in MD, VA or they mistook George to Williams.
PS: I used to be IV donor and also used to contribute my time on IV initiatives. But after seeing that IV is more of an Illegal-immigration Voice rather than Immigration voice, I have stopped my monetary contributions. Hope things will change.
Because IV works in a manner that will get the intended results - they are for illegals? Legal or Illegal - they are part of Immigration - that is how it works.......
You used to support IV through donations and time, but you stopped because IV was not working the way you wanted it to work.............However, you still check the forums, post in the forums .............. may be you are not all that disappointed with IV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really don't understand, what can be RFE about, as you have been with the same company all these years. You really deserve a Greencard straight away without a single question after such a Long wait. I hope your RFE is very simple to answer and I wish that you get your Greencard soon. Good Luck.
Thanks for the pointers.
In my case I don't even know if it is namecheck that is blocking my case. So far my guess is that it was just the huge deluge of July 2 applications under which my application got stuck. But now that they have opened my application and mailed an RFE on Oct 22, at least I know that some IO is processing my case. Right now I am eagerly waiting for the RFE details. My law firm(FDBL) has not received it yet. I am pinging them every other day.
To answer another question from another poster, yes, I have been with the same company since 2001.

Maybe it has no legal validity. But still why to accept it. If they ask you to pay the fine/penalty, you will have to fight it before winning.
You can do one of these.
1. Ask them to remove the clause from the letter
2. Strike out the portion that mentions these and then sign it. Keep a copy of the signed document for yourself for future needs.
If this is just a "standard", they should not object to one of these. By the way such open ended terms are not common in offer letters. It definitely sounds fishy.

Santa,
Thanks for your response.
Education evaluation was not done for bachelors because the Labor only required masters. My attorney is planning to use 2 years of my experience to compensate for the additional 1 year of bachelors degree
H1Girl,
Thanks for your response.
Even my attorney says the argument of USCIS could be "building blocks" argument i.e. In US, for masters, 4 year bachelors is required. But, I only have a 3 year bachelor degree.

Can you please explain in detail what the RFE was about? What was it that USCIS did not like about your photos?

Dude, You are looking at not getting a RFE based on the pics. Not that picture people or JCPenny takes great pics and make u look like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise.
:D :p
I got 2 RFE's for pictures only. Those are the only 2 RFE's till date for me.
I had real bad experience with digital pics. But there are many people who didnt have any issues. So it is all your luck.
If you have RFE, it sets u back by 2 months for the approval.
Just my 2 cents.....

I think it all started in 2007. As you guys know there were mass applications filed in 2007 from everyone who were current including EB2/ROW/I/C and EB3 /ROW/I/C.
AFAIK, close to 1 million applications were filed during this period if you include 485s , EADs and APs and all by all the folks.
All was fine until this time and then came 2008 where some people who were still on H1 applied for EADs and APs as USCIS started to give EADs for 2 years.
Then in 2008 there was a new rule put in place stating that there need to be an Employer-Employee relationship for the people working on H1, this has created some kind of panic among employees and employers and people started to invoke EADs left and right thinking it was not safe to continue to be on H1.
And since then as the economy started to take toll, people were laid off and employers were not willing to transfer H1s as they were too many queries on H1 extensions and transfers. Everyone thought that it was never to be safe to be on H1 and started to invoke EADs either to change for better jobs and people looking for jobs also invoked EADs as it was easier to move..
Then came Oct 2009 and we saw that not many Labors are getting filed by EB2 ROW applicants and very few employers were filing Labors as the Unemployment was in 2 digits % wise and were not able to convince DOS on non availability of citizen/PRs workers to do same or similar jobs.
Also most of the Labors were audited and it took close to a year to clear all that backlog before people were eventually approved in EB2-ROW applicants, until we saw July visa bulletin which raised our hopes.Based on the spill over they were supposed to approve close more than 40k EB2 I/C applications in the last 3 months of the year.
But there was a twist in their understanding. As most of the people who got EADs in 2008 were ripe for renewals(this includes EB-2 ROW/I/C, EB-3 ROW/I/C).And hence applied in mass for their renewals. This caused a huge delay in approving the EAD renewals and you have already heard sad stories about it..
Out of all this, All I can say is that USCIS was working harder than ever during the past 3-4 months to approve so many cases and hence I assume there is a genuine workload to clear all those cases.
Based on the approval trends, I think they have already allocated visas to the applicants who were current and started to approve as soon as the case has been looked into unlike what they used to follow of requesting visas after final verification.
Remember USCIS cannot give an excuse of not utilizing all the visas for the current year and blame on FBI name checks and all , as they had 3 sweet years to adjudicate the applications. And I guess they were under tremendous pressure to approve the cases by Sept 2010 month end.
Just my Honest Opinion.
