Comtting a crime and trying to blame it on others for that....
is that what you are supporting?
Don't jump without understanding my comments.
what makes you come to conclusion that i am supporting him?
we shouldnot judge others without understanding circumstances. Even if he has intentionally comitted crime, he is going to answer to God for this sooner for later.
some "shoplifters" are not theives.

Are there any implications of leaving my employer now who sponsored me for GC? I got my GC on the first week of July. I plan to leave on the 1st week of September. Thank you very much.
Addendum: I applied for AOS for my spouse this July. Will there be a problem with her AOS?
I am not sure if you GOT GC or you filed 485.
Based on AC21 law, you have to stay atleast 182 days after you file 485. More so if your I-140 is still pending.
So I would say 182 days from the receipt notice of 485 is mandatory to avoid complications. It should not affect your citizenship. I have 100s of friends who have invoked AC21 and quite frankly I dont care about citizenship. One thing at a time :)

Nothing significant is expected from this speech. Most politicians repeat the same 3 things- Secure our borders, provide path to citizenship to millions and welcome best and the brightest. The real question is when they will do the real work on immigration. There have been some discussions on administrative fixes on immigration. However some of these fixes would politically harm democrats in the upcoming elections.
"There have been some discussions on administrative fixes on immigration. " - Anything that is of interest for Legal immigration such as visa recapture?

Since, last august DOL has become weird with even approving eb3 labors. Generally, attornies will put language in the eta 9089 that they will accept three years of experience for each year of bachelors degree missing (this is in line with education evaluators and uscis).

These days USCIS is trying to stick to the rules, so all people who are trying to beat the system by using wrong credentials are getting stuck. Lawyers have nothing to lose, they will make more money from you.....one from your eb3 application and two from your high risk eb2 application which will eventually be rejected.

Well, I don't think I am at the end of line of 300,000 people. There must be lots and lots of people whose priority date is after April 2004 might have filed. This includes 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
So I think 3 years is intelligent guess. But who knows I am just trying to make myself happy and trying to stay positive.
Also remeber there is a big number of LC BACKLOG cases, all with PD prior to 2005, that will be cleared by end of next month and would get to apply AOS some time soon.

One big missing piece in your analysis - Country quota.
As per your analysis, there are around 125K pending cases. If there is no spill over (that is the case this year and that will be the case for the coming years as per State dept.), then EB3-I or EB2-I gets only 2700 visas per year.
Now, please redo your math and you can easily see that the current retrogress might look like there is hardly any retrogression.
This is my thought process (also referred by Ron G):
July 2007 brought in approximately 500K 485 cases.
We do not know how many cases were pending as of June 2007.
Fiscal year 2007-2008 USCIS used over 140K EB VISA numbers (I think it was around 155K).
Fiscal year 2008-2009 USCIS will use atleast 140K EB VISA numbers
so, 500K - 300K = 200K.
Assuming USICS approval rate is 85%; 75K of 500K are denied.
200K - 75K = 125K EB cases pending from the July 2007 cases.
Additions: from all current categories - may be 25 K in 2 years?
So, 150 K plus whatever that was pending as of June 2007.
So next fiscal year, 2009 if USCIS uses the quota 140 K, most or all of the 2007 filings will be cleared. If not EB3 I, definitely EB2 I and C, EB3 ROW will be cleared.
Depending on new filings, EB3 I might retrogress but retrogression might come within 3-4 years instead of current 8 years.
I strongly believe, beginning Jan 2010, dates for EB2 (I and C) will move forward heaps and bounds followed by EB3 ROW.

Guys the news is from Yahoo India website. The reporter is for sure homebred for the Indian Express newspaper and you also have to note Immigration is spelt as Emigration there. The reporter must have been an amateur who must have takes notes while on phone without bothering to verify the spelling!
Also note the spelling of Program is spelt as Programme in the article, which shows the roots of this article. Maybe we are blowing things out of proportion.
Just relax, drop it an move on !

I am in the same boat and my employer has decided that they will revoke I-140 no matter what. Can you tell me how did you find out that your employer revoked your I-140. Maybe he/they did not. But my firm is really big and they go by the rules. So I just want to know whenever employer sends the revocation, does USCIS always revoke or it is upto their discretion whether or not to revoke. Problem is I do not have a job yet so I cannot even file for AC21.
From what I have researched over the internet, employer can withdraw anytime. USCIS may work on it anytime, maybe in a month or 6 months or probably when they adjujicate/preadjujicate your case. It depends on the VO working on your case to give an RFE or a NOID or a denial. It has happened in recent times, check out some threads on and immigration.com.
The chances that AC21 letter never reaches your file is high, because AC21 letter is not associated with any form. But it is advisable to send the AC21 letter and keep a record of the tracking information.
I am still trying to understand why AC21 makes things so complicated? Like, why should your AC21 letter not reach your file and why must a VO issue a straight denial or NOID? Is AC21 a black hole in some cases?

You are absolutely right, It�s nature and as you said and I quote �nature created nature which is created by nature and so on...�
And for some people to which you call �nature� they call it �God�
Just different terminology, they do the prayer of nature (for some its God) and they never judge the acts of nature (God).
I feel comfortable with these words "Nature Bless everyone" ,Not with the words like "God Bless everyone".
May be As a Hindu I'll start visualizing Shiva/Vishnu/brahma/Rama/Krishna etc.. when someone says "GOD" .For Christians they may start visualizing Jesus and Allah for Muslims.

AC 21 like no changing of the jobs when 485 pending for more than 6 months....
Bad for consulting companies (no H1B; may lose job)
Bad for physicians (no H1B for medical residents; no provisions for NIW...terrible)
Bad for H1b transfers and extensions (severe restrictive provisions on H1B)
AC 21 repealed (disastrous)
Bad for pending I 140 .... left in limbo
Bad for pending LC .... left in complete limbo
Bad for retrogressed.... backlog will increase phenomenally 'cos of decreased visa numbers
This bill is a massive attack on us; we should put all our efforts to oppose and kill the bill. There is little chance that we can get amendments to reverse the potential damage that this bill can do... that is disaster for us.

I agree with most of the posts here ..there have been lot of ideas but everyone needs to be more serious ...IV core has to come up with a new campaign. ultimately the question is do we wait for something to happen or do we try for make things happen ..
"my idea was to come up with a letter campaign Thanking USCIS for the massive delays and wastage of visas which has prevented many hard working immigrants from buying a house at peak values"
it does not matter if you are a homeowner or not ..just participate (USCIS is not going to double check) ..there will be awareness that USCIS is broken just like Brown's FEMA (the person who was in charge during katrina fiasco)...and maybe USCIS will come out with facts. ofcourse some backlash is to be expected since we waited for too long and now we are in recession !! (also Obama is not going to do anything on his own so soon as he has major major problems to solve first)
ofcourse Core has to endorse such a campaign ..if someone has better idea ..please share ..don't be an idiot and offer only criticism to other people's idea unless u have something better !!
at the very least ..let us think and maybe everyone should come up with ideas ..and in the end let us have a poll and choose one campaign idea and go with it ..needless to say at the same time ..every member should try to spread word about the campaign and get atleast 5 new IV members (just like Amway networking)
albertpinto,
I agree with your idea. But time might not be ripe. I'm not sure how we can get attention for legal immigration when the economy is so bad. This is like a downtime. We can use this time to strengthen IV as an organization. We need to prepare for war (activism) when there is peace (downtime). I agree with Pappu, we need to spread the word of IV as much as possible. I've to go beyond my friend's circle as most of them have a GC in hand! :D

It would give some idea I think
http://www.usvisahelp.com/art_intent.html
In order to determine whether the alien truthfully represented his or her intent to remain with his or her petitioning U.S. employer after receiving the green card, the USCIS uses the standard created by Seihoon v. Levy. That is, USCIS examines the “rapid course of events” following the alien’s receipt of his or her green card. The Department of State has reduced this rule to a 30-60-90 day formula which USCIS generally follows. If an alien ends employment with the petitioning employer within 30 days of receiving his/her green card, then it is highly likely that USCIS will decide that the alien’s intent at the Consulate interview was not, as he/she stated, to remain with the petitioning employer indefinitely. After 60 days have passed, it is less likely (but still risky) that USCIS will determine that the alien lied about his/her intent at the Consulate interview. And after 90 days, it is highly unlikely that USCIS will have a problem with the alien’s change of employment

Dear Mr. ___________
Thank you for contacting me to express your support for H.R. 5882 and H.R. 5921. I appreciate your taking the time to write and welcome the opportunity to respond.
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) has introduced H.R.5882 to improve the reliability of the system in which employment-based and family-based visas are issued to foreign nationals. As you may know, many of these category-based immigrant visas have not been issued over the past few years due to backlogs and processing delays at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. H.R. 5882 would help prevent such losses by making available an estimated 218,000 employment-based and family-based green cards that have been unused in past years.
In addition, Congresswoman Lofgren has introduced H.R. 5921, the "High Skilled Per Country Level Elimination Act," to remove the per country limit on employment-based immigrants. You may be aware that U.S. immigration laws limit every country to 7 percent of the worldwide level of U.S. immigrant admissions. This per-country level is established by the U.S. State Department to act as a "barrier against monopolization" and to provide fair opportunities for all skilled and professional workers from around the world. H.R. 5921 would remove per-country limits and would no longer allow unused family- or employment-based visas to be used interchangeably.
Please know that both H.R. 5882 and H.R. 5921 are under review by the House Committee on the Judiciary. However, no companion bills have been introduced in the United States Senate. I think it is important to recognize that our immigration policies must make national security a central priority while at the same time helping to facilitate family reunification and labor demands here in the United States. I will continue to pressure Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to ensure that any policy to expedite visas does not compromise our standards for accepting individuals into the United States, nor the integrity of our immigration system. Be assured that I have taken note of your support for these bills, and I will keep your thoughts in mind should related legislation come before me in the United States Senate.
Once again, thank you for your letter. If you have any additional questions or comments, please call my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours, Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator

Interesting highlights:
Employment based immigration : 159,081 in 2006 of which 55.1% were dependents.
Members interested in Statistics are welcome to peruse the Yearbook for the proportion of each country and then extrapolate it out to when their respective dates will be current (I am sure it will not be a pretty picture for India and China)
The report is for the period October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006. Of the 159,000 or so mentioned above, 36,960 were EB1, 21,911 were EB2 and 89,922 were EB3 (I guess this number includes the 50,000 that were recaptured and given to nurses).
Of these numbers, 32060; 20939 and 60390 were AOS.
Furthermore, of the AOS cases, 18959; 10708 and 29537 were spouses oand children in the respective categories.
AND FOR THE KICKER:
total EB persons from India in 2006 : 17169 and 9484 from China ONLY! (includes spouses and children) with the honor going to Philippines at 23733!
Enjoy and have a great holiday ;)

I seriously hope that the Director of the USCIS understands our "Gandhigiiri".
We dont want the Americans thinking, "hey lets keep screwing these immigrants and getting stuff like free flowers and free blood from them"
