Hi Everybody,
I would like to start this thread for the benefit of people who do not have a straightforward immigration history. In a nutshell, I hope in the future this thread will serve to provide information and advice on
Out of Status issues - Inconsistency with what's stamped in the passport and what you're actually doing
Unlawful Stay - Stay beyond the date in the I-94 card
The main focus will be on what these things can do to your i) AOS/CP filings ;and/or ii) future non-immigrant visas.
I came to this country because of a twist of fate and had zero knowledge of the immigration laws here. Through the school of hard knocks, I have gained considerable knowledge about this convoluted process that affects us all and hopefully what I learnt will be of use to other people in the same boat.
A special mention goes out to "unitednations" for his skill and knowledge about various issues. Thanks buddy, you're a huge asset to all of us.
Dude ,
You been thru a lot and looks like you still have some sanity left in you. Keep up the good spirit ... Good luck with your 485 ...:)

Like in the movies Rang De Basanti .. newer generation was compared to Freedom Fighters and like in Lage Raho Munna Bhai -we had Non Violence portest Heroes, I am seeing very comparble Heroes in the Immigration Voice Core team. It does take lots of guts and courage to do the right thing , at such a high , sensitive level , with peacful, intelligent talks... especially in a land which is not yours for sure yet.
Kudos CORE TEAM as well as Congresswoman Zoe L... you have made HISTORY indeed . You have blessing of all who have been recovered out of the stressful chaos.
By the way which handle initiated the Flowers Idea?.. Congrats to you you for your smart ideas.

Hi All
Glad to see this team has taken on the gaint!!!
I am a beneficiary of the GC process , my husband being the primary applicant.
Applied for 485 in 2002.So now i am in the "pending immigrant" category.
I attend a top Medical school and expect to be offered a Leadership TrainingGrant under the Bush's no child left behind program to serve US citizen/residents children/infants.
As this package comes with a payback ie need to serve the country/citizens anywhere in the world for 2 yrs post graduation i need to evaluate my options. I take this grant and move away without payback it will be fraud or i will have to payback 80K!!!( tuition etc)
With the GC in limbo and not sure what will happen I will be forced to reject this offer!! I will get full scholarship from elsewhere so i aint worried about it.. but this country has missed out on my services due to the delay in GC.
Currently i am assigned in the Veterans Affairs and treat soldiers from Iraq and other places, also I am expecting to take up a position in VA post graduation (ie only if I get GC!!/Citizenship.. which could i could have if the GC were to be processed in 1-1/5 yrs and post that 5 yrs would be the time of my graduation) Again this country is loosing.
I am sure there are many more stories like this...
Thanks for hearing my story...

In EB2 I, is 2003 all clear? I have not seen anybody (except one who had Dec 03 ...sorry forgot the user id). So is it safe to assume that 2004 is the oldest.
Its almost cleared till Feb 2004 for EB2. So i am thinking from September 1st 2009, its from March 2004 to December 2004. Not sure how many pending cases are in this time period.

This is also for all and it is not about recapturing the visas alone. It is about justice to anybody whose PD is current. What kind of justice would it be if your PD is current after the visas have been recaptured and you are waiting for 10 years just because your case is not being picked up in the random lottery ?

If you have time for you visa application then get a new passort with name correction, or you can say them to put a observation on second page of the passport which can be done 1-2 days.

I was wondering why is it that you have so many red dots and so disliked in IV and your response below answers that question. You are a mischief monger who want to mislead people. The issue was never about which is better eb1 or eb2 or eb3, the answer is eb1 is better than eb2 and eb2 is better than eb3. The issue is how easy is it to port to eb2, infact if porting to eb2 was that easy everybody would have already done that. nobody is sponsoring green cards in this economy not even eb3 forget about eb2, not even desi companies are sponsoring eb3 perm petitions. In this age when there are reports that USCIS is sending out invistigators to look into even ac21 cases you are misleading people into porting from eb3 to eb2. Forget about porting as no one is even sponsoring eb3 perm.
As slim a chance as it is, visa recapture or some administrative fix like a remporary green card or relaxation of ac21 regulations like same semilar job restrictions is our best bet.
Eb2 will be better most of the time because many will not be eligible or Job position does not need Masters or 5 years of experience. So it will move fast though it may go back on october. So if possible try to port into EB2 will always be a good idea. CIR or Visa capture bill may not be possible atleast for an year or more. EB1 and EB2 are best bet for next 1 to 2 years.
Dream on about porting from Eb3 to EB2. On an average it is taking more 9 months to get labor clearence that too if it is eb3. if you are trying eb2 that is almost a definite audit. We have a case in our company which was stuck in audit (eb2) for more than an year now. our company and attorney are no longer filing eb2 (offcourse it is a different matter than they are no longer filing any green card application because of layoffs). So unless you are working for a desi "con"sultant company not many american companies (almosy none) are filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb3 to eb2 conversions. Even desi companies are scared shit because USCIS is knocking the living daylights out of them. Even desi companies are scared of filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb2. So good luck with your eb3 to eb2 dream.

Whether i am a minority and whether i am a majority does not make any difference.
If you want legal speak then ...
Giving GC to STEM graduates is not the right way. If US needs to keep these educated people in US then US needs to make sure these educated people get an H1B without any issues and then they are on the path to GC like everyone else because H1B is a dual intenet visa. Jumping from a F1 visa to a GC visa is not correct as F1 visa is not a immigration intenet visa
If you want plain speak then ...
Why should STEM graduates have it easy when a H1B has to struggle and wait in liner to get a GC.
I would agree to this only is the requirement is made so that only PHD and scientist who have atleats acouple of research papers published be given GC and not every Tom, Dick and harry who completes 4 years engg degree in india from a 2 bit university and whose parents have money and uses this money to pay for 2 years MS.
People who are going to benefit by this will support this. Others oppose.
I believe you belong to latter.
One thing to remember is this provision helps STEM grads irrespective of their EB-class.
legal speak: right now law does exist. F1 to GC would be illegal. This provision is to make the conversion legal
plain speak: look beyond your own situation. Since you are not going to benefit directly, does not mean you stand against it.
Lastly, everybody's parents don't have so much money like you think. People do get 13% student loans in India to fund their studies.

Its like your boss asking you to tell him how many hrs you do actual work v/s how many hrs do you do non work related things. Would you volunterily disclose your wasted time at work every day ?
You will disclose total hrs you worked but not time you didnt work :)
USCIS does not give how many Visas they have used and how many are left
like how many unused have gone to EB3 or Eb2 etc
if its Vertical or horizontal visa distribution
they have been some Law Suits on them to give the data

As many are aware, there was a huge rush to buy and sell pre-approved labors during July-August 2007, when all the priority dates were suddenly made current. Tens of thousands of labors were sold by fraudulent consulting companies to many questionable GC seekers, who hadn�t even started the process till then.
It is those substituted labors which are clogging the pipelines now. Just think, last month EB3-I stood at November 2001. Now it is completely unavailable. It can�t be possibly because so many pending labors with such old priority dates suddenly got cleared this month, and beneficiary of these labors filed 140+485 together. I seriously doubt that a candidate whose labor is pending since such a long time is even keeping that GC process alive. In all likelihood he/she must have moved on in life.
There is only one explanation. These labors were already pre-approved. It is the attached I-140 on these labors that are getting approved rapidly. And the subsequent I-485 petitions on these applications are depleting the visa numbers.
The reason of this post is not to start an argument about the ethics of labor substitution. It is just a FYI post to explain the seemingly inexplicable. The chickens are coming home to roost.
Yes true. A significant chunk of the old PDs now are cases of substituted labor.
Labor substitution was acting like a time machine to go back in time and apply for GC.
People paid as high as 10K to 12K for old labor.

This is a totally wrong message someone out there put out to make people nervous. Application support centers do no have IO's. The only IO's you will meet would be at a different USCIS facility where you take appointment and stand before the counter and ask the questions.
There will be no reason why someone would meet a IO at the fingerprinting place which generally have technicians and security to monitor the process. You sit in a waiting room alongwith 100 other people, then once your name is called, you do the fingerprinting and get out of the door.
There is no time to mingle with IOs nor there will be IOs(friendly or not) who would be willing to disclose any information to you.
Some people online gloat at having pleasure to spread disinformation. this seems to be the case...
Guys take it easy...

Friends,
What I need to do now? My I-94 has wrong expiration date (I entered in US on 03/07/2007 and I got I-94 with expiration date as 01/10/2007). My attorney told me that it can be explained later. So, I've already file my 485 with a bad I-94.
Please let me know if anything can be done or still I can do something to correct this issue.
Thanks,
hi_mkg
