IV had brought in hundreds of T - shirts to hand out. We were giving them out to everyone with a request to contribute on the web site. When we were out,
one of our volunteers, Kaushal, I think (don't know iv handle), he took out his own IV tshirt and gave it away!!
Another thing, I want to thank all the volunteer(s) who were asked to stay back to take care of the origin point and couldn't march in the rally.
Needhelp - you are actually v. helpful. Change your name to wanttohelp :)

i asked the same question about rejection they said we dont accept any rejections and we will file MTR, and they dont have any rejections from past 6 years
one of my friend in the same company got approval in 3 months that one is not audited
we both filed at the same time atlanta centre he is lucky guy
Yeah, some people are lucky , some are are approved in 60 days(cases without audit) while we are stuck here for months. What is MTR? i Think they have denied a few audit cases, I saw on , i think if i'm not mistaken a certain case has october'07 audit reply and was denied this march '08 . i'm not sure. thanks for replying.:)

I and manish flew monday morning sept 17th on a short notice to attend 11:30AM appointment and then again at 3:30 PM with nagaraj.
We had 2 more appointments on 18th with NH senators.
All the meetings were great and one them exceeded 30 minute schedule to 50 minutes.
It was great to meet all the members like aman, jay, paskal, kanika, meenal, nagaraj, pappu, gopal etc.
Paskal: Where is my beer?
Gopal: "Don't shoot the messenger" in the situation room.
jay: Speech pointing fingure to capitol hill behind him. "We are here on offence".
Mike: Step1 to step 5 entertainment
These are some, but not all, of the memorable things in DC.
I really had to mention pappu seperately.
He is a dedicated person to this cause and needs special mention. I really enjoyed his company in the bus on our return journey to NH. We shooted all possible questions and got convincing answers.
Thanks again for the wonderful experience.
It was a true vacation.:eek::eek:

When new system comes those who are in older system are impacted. That is always happening. If CIR comes with point system then those who are applying in 2008 will get gc within a few months and those who are waiting for years and years will wait for more years. So it depends on when you come and when you apply

They will still do all the work needed to approve your application even when it is retrogressed. But, they just will not issue the actual Green Card until the dates go past your PD again.
You can remain on H1 until such time or use ur EAD and renew it on a yearly basis. The choice is yours based on your circumstance.

1. With due respect to Mr Gotcher, the letter does not address audits but gives the impression that even cases without audits are being processed randomly which is not necessarily true.
2. The tone towards DOL is accusatory and rather harsh. This would make them defensive and the letter seems to insinuate that they are doing this maliciously and are incompetent, both of which do not help our cause.
3. The letter should instead address the backlog and ask for DOL's cooperation in resolving the back log ASAP.
4. There is a typo in the letter "noT being processed" (paragraph # 2)
Just my $ 0.02

Hello,
I have sent my Passport for renewal to CGI Houston, TX. I have shipped it via FEDEX on Oct 19 and it reached CGI Houston on Oct 21. It was signed by some one by name Kohli.
In the Site its mentioned, the renewal will take 7 business days. Based on this thread, I see that it might take around 3 weeks time
Can anyone tell me, Whether CGI houston communicates to us once the passport is dispatched? Will they give FEDEX / USPS tracking number to track? I want to make sure that some one will be at home to collect it.
Thanks in advance
You can either call them or go in person. Customer service can give you information on the status. But its hard to get them on the phone, keep trying, don't hang up the phone, but keep pressing 0.
I called 713-626-2148 and pressed 1 then 9 and when it asked for voice mail or operator I pressed 0 for operator.
But nothing to worry...you will get it soon. Its took about a month for me, because of the Hurricane Ike. But you should be ok.

6) Go and buy a Pre approved LC from Desi Consultant paying 15K or more
guys any more ideas?
one more question 7) I dont like recurring payment, but I will contribute monthly anyways.
That is like telling your fiance "I want to live with you for ever, but I dont want to marry you".

I just got my wife's h4 approval letter today but the I-94 does not have any validity period on it, its blank?? Moreover, We received two more i539 approval notices sames as my wifes without any validity period under my wife's name (Applicant)... beneficiary were for two kids age 9,11 totally different last names/Nationality :confused:
I will call them tomorrow, I was wondering if anyone else also had this experience, do we have to travel outside the country to get I-94 stamped? my H1B approval has not arrived yet but the status online says approved. Our old I-94 on the passport have already expired, will that be problem?

you may now want to ask those 10+ members to spread the word to their contacts... it will be a big viral campaign. also ask them to use invite the friends tool

PD cutoff date moved by 9 months. this is great news for PERM applications with PDs in late 2005. this also tells us that the state dept will move cutoff dates significantly in the last few months of the year so visas will not go to waste.

VB for May is not published yet. these cutoff dates are from the Mumbai consulate web site.

Why are you equating quality of life to owning a house?
- Because you are an "owner"? No you are not! You are renting the house from the bank
- Because you have a backyard?- go out and rent a house. They are a dime a dozen, will cost you half the cost of your monthly mortgage payment
- Because you have peace of mind? Really. Read your other post on people getting laid off
- Because your (ok someone else's) kid asked if you are poor? Really? A kid's innocent question is going to make you gamble (that's what investing in an immovable asset is in your situation) away a decade of savings?
- Because you want to give your child the best possible childhood? Think about it, if things turn for the worse either in your economy/company/job (absolutely do not wish it on anyone), and you are forced to move/sell the house/get foreclosed upon etc., how much more have you hurt your family and traumatized them in your effort to give them a great childhood?
- How many nights of peaceful sleep have you lost lying awake wondering what you would do if you/your spouse lost a job, had to move etc.?
I still cannot understand how/why someone would buy a house in the bay area ($700K+ for a SFH in a minimally liveable area) and $1M+ in places like Cupertino.
I will enjoy my quality of life in my rented condo (with a rent 1/3rd of the monthly mortgage payment it would take to buy it) and take my 2 year old to the park if he feels like he needs a back yard. Dont need to mow the lawn either!
Thumbsup!!
There is a perception on this board that renting => no quality of life. After going through some of the replies, I see that some are trying to convince themselves of their decision to buy a house.

I efiled for myself and my wife on 04/23 at Texas service center and got receipt notices in a week. My wife's card said CPO on 05/14 and then got another CPO email on 5/26 and got the actual card 2 days later with the start date after the end of the current card.
But my status still shows initial review with a date of 04/24 and a soft LUD on 04/29. I am getting a little worried. Is there anything I can do to check what the problem is?
Thank you,
Did you try calling customer service?

I am an American, born and raised in the US and I wholly support Team IV. This initiative not only supports IV, but also helps prevent childhood obesity in the US which are two very important issues that we currently face. Being an avid runner, I am always looking for worthy causes to support via running and I am excited to be a part of this Team.

Not possible explicitly for EB3.IV is for EB community to support generic issues like CIR etc...Which may help EB2 and EB3.
You really think CIR will happen huh.. Good luck with that ... if Republicans get the majority in house, CIR can Rest In Peace. We all know the two big reasons that would cause Dems to lose the house majority this fall - Economy and Immigration. We also know where Dems stand on immigration - Amnesty and CIR. CIR is not popular among american voters and Republicans will play to that tune when they get the majority. They will spend all the time talking about securing the border and until the border is secure CIR wont be taken up for discussion. That means no CIR for the next few years (atleast until 2012). Anybody wanna bet? ;)
In my opinion, the only way to get out of EB backlog mess is through piecemeal legislation and the current bill ('SKILL Act of 2010' H.R.5658) is one such bill that can bring relief to EB community.
