I received a call from my lawyer last week saying he got a call from USCIS asking the lawyer whether my wife got the TB Skin test done or not, as she did not get it originally as we were expecting our child at the moment.
I sent the lawyer the scanned copy of the TB skin test results and posted him the sealed envelope separately yesterday, which he was planning on Faxing over to USCIS. Today I saw a soft LUD on my wife's I-485.
Don't know what this means? Its hard to belive that my Lawyer is so proactive to send the fax right away. And I can't believe that someone at USCIS actually updated my wifes case after lawyers response...
So don't know whats going on there... Friends whats meant by pre-adjudication?

That is correct. Since H1-B petition is filed by employer, it can only be legally challenged by the employer only. Employee is beneficiary and therefore has very limited legal rights to challenge even if petition is denied.
Now, consider this hypothetical example, on practical note, if an employer files a legal suit, the employer must be able to defend his H1-B obligations for all its employees. That includes paying H1-B wages on "bench", H1-B worker working on sites specified by LCA, reporting to USCIS when H1-B worker resigns or is fired. This could be problematic for many small-time job-shops (aka body-shoppers).

Not a legal advice.
Lets not assume we know all legal stuff.
Defining employer - employee relationship is different from abuse and we cannot relate these two.
I do agree that to challenge the law rightfully, one has to have credibility.

Hi Soma,
Can you please elaborate your case as a CP like how you opted for CP and how long you have been waiting? I have applied for 485 and my PD is 2006, so out of question my date will be current soon but i would like to go back to india to take care of my parents and then when my PD is current I can come back.
Thanks
Well, I have been waiting for over 5 yrs now. My case is a simple CP case, I was stuck in BEC, till June. The BEC wait frustrated me, so I had decided I would go for CP wouldn't like to wait for name check and the rest of the waits which comes with 485 filing. For that I had to forgo the luxury of EADs, AC21's and AP. Opted for CP during 140 filing, premium processing of 140 was still there during those times.Finished with that in 4 days and my file moved to NVC and from there to Mumbai consulate in October, and from then I've been waiting!!! Hopefully, I get an Interview date this April. And throughout the process I've been in this country, not India, since its EB category, so that aswers your question regarding moving back to India and coming back when PD is current.

Bravo!, Well Said!
Do you know the history of NPR? Do you know how it is funded or how it operates?
Here's some information:
NPR supports its operations through a combination of membership dues and programming fees from over 860 independent radio stations (http://www.npr.org/stations/), sponsorship (http://www.npr.org/about/place/corpsupport/) from private foundations and corporations, and revenue from the sales (http://www.npr.org/transcripts/) of transcripts, books, CDs, and merchandise. A very small percentage -- between one percent to two percent of NPR's annual budget -- comes from competitive grants sought by NPR from federally funded organizations, such as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (http://www.cpb.org/), National Science Foundation (http://www.nsf.gov/) and the National Endowment for the Arts (http://www.nea.gov/).
http://www.npr.org/about/privatesupport.html
On average, public radio stations (including NPR Member stations) receive the largest percentage of their revenue (34%) from listener support, 24% from corporate underwriting and foundations, and 13% from CPB allocations.*
Also note:
NPR sponsors receive on-air acknowledgement for their financial support via ten second announcements that are broadcast during NPR programs. Online sponsorship is also available.
http://www.npr.org/about/place/corpsupport/
(In other words, the on-air acknowledgements boil down to advertising.. ).
Now let's take a step back and determine how most "professional organizations" like IEEE, AILA, and myriad other "associations" function...
Does it make more sense now?
Physicians have physicians' associations/bodies/organizations.
Engineers have their own. So do pilots, nurses, actors, screen writers, photographers, sales professionals, etc.
If we pride ourselves as an organization of high-skilled professionals, why not look at it as such and operate as such??? (Those who do not currently contribute may also be motivated to participate, even if just for the tangible benefits... )

right on money!!!- you stole my thoughts dude...thats exactly how i think...
Using H1B makes one safe. but how many years we want to do the safe job. If I-485 gets denied do u have enough patiences to file another green card. One thing is believe is "We are here to make money, most of us are in our thirties and we have short time remaining to reach our goals. I think we all have one year EAD. wait for 6 months then go on job hopping, learn whatever you can, get into whatever you want. Start a business, do something.... Anything you do will help you in future. Sitting with H1B in pocket may take 4 years cream of your life.
If you have the talent you can get great salaries anywhere in the world. Because of your talents and hard work you guys are here. World is not small.

Hello I got a yellow form 221(g) during my interview. Got my passport and approval back during the interview.
Are other people in PIMS getting this yellow form/ 221(g) stating that "when administrative processing is completed in your case we will contact you"?
This will allow me to decide if I am stuck in PIMS or something else.

Once the Break is Over in 2nd week of September, We all should call members of congress , as many as possible, to get their Support for Visa Recapture Bill. If that bill passes, it will help all the EB categories.
Chances of this bill passing through all the steps are very slim in this year.

Don't worry - IV core will appear out of the blue when:
1)- there is a good news - to claim the responsibility (regardless whos efforts)
2)- when they are in urgent need of funds (don't ask just give)
Local chapter is a joke for most of the states, in my state there were only 2 meetings in 6 months and in second no one came including organizer :D
So basically by not joining local chapter you are not missing anything! trust me :)
Read/Write => Enjoy IV, Don't compain
yup it would serve your purpose better if the "core members" sat around at your service to answer your daily whinings...now that would be great right?
btw if people did not come to chapter meetings who is responsible? the leadership is voluntary and does what it can along with their regular jobs and life committments. those like you that perpetually whine and won't lift a finger need to ask some hard questions of yourself though. either this is a grassroots effort or it will certainly fail. fortunately there are members more committed than you who are actually doing things to help themselves even as i speak. there are meetings on with lawmakers and the admin changes campaign is moving. one state chapter has held a lobby day in DC this month and others are all set to hold their own efforts. if your chapter is defunct, help to give it life. or you could slink back into your hole of course...after complaining about others...

We should lobby to stop Portability from EB3 to EB2:).
You probably can't ask to stop portability from EB3 to EB2 or EB2 to EB1. But you can ask for if filers from EB3 goes to EB2, they can't keep the PD from EB3 but get a new PD for the date USCIS process their EB2 application.
That will make people really think if that is worthy to do so. Otherwise every EB-3 filer will want to file again for EB-2 if they can.

Your attoney should be able to defend your case based on you salary more than PW.
The GC process is for future employement, your bosses ability to pay exists since he has paid you more salary than PW.
Your employer may be making loss every year, but he is paying you more than PW. Now your salary in itself is an expense for employer, so the fact that he is paying you may be making his financials look a little weak in term of profit loss.
Look at other threads on RFE issues, and talk to your lawyer.
I think you are fine.

I agree with you immi...I would love to have that but i believe its not practical...coz as per existing laws there are 140k employement visas alloted per year...if you are gonna use uncaptured visas from the previous years then this number would be >140k.. which would require a change in the law...with the current govt in power (inspite of the President being pro immigration),Iraq war,elections,Anti immigration sentiments before elections,etc..i donot foresee it happeneing anytime soon... my $0.02
Lets ask Core not to just go with the temporary fix of July visa bulliten.
We might apply for EAD and AP but what if they throw our papers some where and repeat the same thing.
This time they will be very careful in issuing visa bulliten
In future very slow progression in visa dates...adjudicating cases very slowly always stating that due to july visa bulliten we have lots of cases ...we will not be able to do anything until we sort ou...blah blah...
This is not the fix
We should be firm with our goals...
Lets come up with some ideas....
Lets not ask what to do...lets think and come up with an idea...and then we shall decide if it works or not...
When some one first suggested flower campaign everyone took it as a joke...it was not implemented before some one sent the flowers and showed the receipt number...
I was following core for a long time...this the biggest response i have ever seen from the members...
Lets continue it...
My idea ...lets not just accept the temporary fix...we should fight the congress until they come up with a plan of fixing the GC issue.
The congress talks about fixing illegal immigration..Lets ask them to fix the legal immigration first.
Unless we are really strong about it...nothing can be accomplished..
They cant fix the existing legal system but they are ready with the plans of fixing illegal immigration...of course it failed but still they had big impact...

I totally support banishing country quota. It is totally unfair specially to folks from India/China/Mexico and others (in EB category).
However if we analyze the current mess. Following are some of the things that led to it
First of all 65K is the number of H1-B's that are issued every year. Lets assume all of 65K applies for GC >> then we get 65 K * 2.2 (dependents) = 143K GC's.
Then how come we have such a big backlog.
1. H1b visa ceiling was increased to 195K during the tech boom of 2000's but they never increased the EB based green card (it remained 140K)
2. Wastage of EB visa by USCIS. Some estimates are in range of 500K. But let's say they wasted half of it (250K). This should be sufficient to clear the backlog.
3. Third of last few years with rise in economies of India and china and ROW, we have seen an increase in the L1's (globalization). I totally agree with this and have no issues with L1's. And many of L1's decide to stay in US. And of course GC comes from EB category.
Simple logic is H1-B non-immigrant visa has been recognized as dual intent, which means holders of H1B can legally apply for GC.
On the other hand Congress and US govt have failed to provide adequate GC for EB. The system is a total chaos now for all the above reasons.
This is what we need to communicate to congress/us govt and if required challenge in court.
Can't agree less with you pappu:)

I am not sure if its legal or not but various members can contribute their skills in exchange of donation to IV. This way members with skills are giving their time to IV and Members of the forum are getting sound advice/guidance/service for small contribution to IV. Examples can be many like CPA, Tax preparation, Doctors, career guidance, Online tutoring, Software consutlancy. I am sure all the members are "SKILLED" in various walks of life.
