Hi All,
For the 140 appln we see that all service centers except TSC takes more than 6 months. TSC has a processing time frame of 6 months for 140
where as NSC and CSC says they are processing 140 of Sep/jan 2006.
We pay same fee for USCIS at all offices. This is a descrimination based on
USCIS location. If 140 is approved and 485 is pending we have flexibility of changing the jobs.
(ie if you had applied at NSC, then u will not get this flexibility)
Most of the guys who applied at TSC during July 07 got the approval of 140 where as NSC and CSC are still processing 2006.
(Mine was filed at TSC and on the 5th month got transferred to NSC.
Now should it follow 6months of TSC processing time or go to the storage cabin and wait till the processing date at NSC comes to current?)
So should we complain to ombudsman, to make the processing time similar at all the offices. If there is a difference of one months is OK but not more than one month.
I would like to hear everyones opinion especially those who stuck at NSC and CSC.
Thank You
Abhishika

Any comments?
actually if you track the threads on immigrationportal.com, a ton of old-timers have gotten their GCs. A large number of these were EB3-India [2001-2004], so that 18k number does not look odd to me.
Does it look odd to you? Why?

Thanks for your replies.
Do you know what is a common practice of USCIS in case they don't find our reply to such RFE good enough? Do they follow up with another RFE or just deny I140? I'm trying to figure out how much time will I have to pack my stuff if things go really bad :).

I like the DOF, and it would also work if the whole string of flowers were sharp.
There is possibly a bit too much flash, the shadows between the flowers are a bit hard IMHO.
I'd clone out the leaf at the lower left.

please continue to send mails to your local lawmakers regarding Skil Bill. Use the webfax too at
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_iv_webfax&task=getContactDetails&Itemid=46
There are orgnizations that are opposed to this bill and are stronger than us. Only consistant efforts to make our voices heard would produce favorable results. We need letters comming from all members to these lawmakers so that when we lobby, these lawmakers already know that there are a lot of people who want this done and there is a broad support for such reforms.
FYI Numbersusa have been sending messages against this bill--
http://www.numbersusa.com/faxcenter?action=preview&ID=5665
--
Please do write your own mail to your local senator and congressman to communicate the problems faced by us.
The useful information is available here--
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=53&Itemid=36

Please tell all your friends too.

Agree with Jonty on checking at http://infopass.uscis.gov...
I needed to confirm my address change.. called uscis and I was told they can't see any personal info... basically read me my status on website and a long boring standard message.. saying you are within the normal processing dates and blah blah... Bottom line I was suggested to take infopass.. so I took.. Its my first infopass appt ever and it was very easy... shown me 2 dates avaialable for Aug (nothing in July).. So I pick one and then was asked to pick a time...
I selected as a follow up on pending case...
Hopefully they'll process my AOS before that :-)
EB2-I June 2004... PD current, RD current per both NSC/TSC...
Case filed at NSC and transferred to TSC (July 23, 2008)
Keeping my fingers crossed per 50-50 probability theory :-)

Folks,
It is outrageous that NSC is not churning out any post April 2004 approvals for EB2-I. Is any one is taking any actions?
What can be done?

Hi,
One of my friends is saying Job experience with the same company would not count towards? So this means will i have to change jobs and hope that my I-140 for the current employer is not withdrawn. Pl. advise.
Thanks,
The job experience from the same company can only be counted if the employer can prove the new job is atleast 50 % different from the current job. Please consult a lawyer before making the decision. The difference should be in job duties and not simply a move between two projects.

It is a case to sign in native language...
Your question is not clear.
did you forget to sign the G-325A form where it says "Sign here"
OR
did you forget to write your name in native alphabet?
In first case, it will be considered improperly filed and chances are it will be rejected.
In second case, even if your native language is other than English, the person who does initial review will not know that and it will be accepted and processed.
I hope it is the second case .

Thank you for the reply. What if my 485 gets approved before the 485 date current again and I could apply for her?
Thanks
Your I-485 will not get approved until the dates become current for you. For eg. say in March 2009 bulletin (which is valid from April 1st of 2009), your priority date becomes current. Your I-485 can be approved only after April 1st. Just have your wife's application ready and apply on the first day when your priority date becomes current.

I guess I wasn't shocked when I saw this story, but I have to say it depressed me. The AP reports that Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec, really one town that happens to straddle a border, is now installing security gates to physically separate the community.

Hi,
I am currently working on a fulltime H1B and my GC process is going on with second stage (I140) in progress. Now my old employer wants me to work parttime for them which I agreed upon but this is a possibility only if I have a parttime H1B applied w.r.t old employer which I am thinking to apply for it and work parttime. But my question here is does this effect my GC processing? If it is what are the effects? Please reply me back. Thanks a lot.

Dear Friends,
Can I quite my current job in the US and go back to india for 6 months come back on AP and find similar job ? is this possible ? how long can I stay in india
before my I-485 status "runs out" ?
My PD is June 2005/EB2. I am a July 2 filer. I have received I-485 receipt,EAD and AP.
Thanks.
If your current employer is your GC sponsor, won't he withdraw its I-140 if you quit? As I-140 is for future job, if you and him continue to have intent of making employee/employer relationship as per filed I-140, you can do whatever you want in the meantime, but you would need to work for him on getting your GC. Or you can wait and hope that I-140 is not approved within 180 days. In that case you can move to the new employer. Employment with sponsoring employer prior to GC approval, paystubs, etc. are only for establishaing and restrengthening expressed intent.

Over 500 Indian guest workers sue US company for human trafficking - The Times of India (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nri/news/Over-500-Indian-guest-workers-sue-US-company-for-human-trafficking/articleshow/7548222.cms)
HOUSTON: Lawyers for a group of Indian guest workers, trafficked to the US from India to work in shipyards after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, have sued an American company, Signal International, along with its co-conspirators and other entities for human trafficking and racketeering.
If class status is granted, the lawsuit could be the largest human trafficking case in US history, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has said in a statement.
Workers were allegedly lured here with dishonest assurances of becoming lawful permanent US residents, the statement said.
The ACLU joined a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of over 500 guest workers from India charging that the workers were trafficked into the US through the federal government's H-2B guest worker programme with dishonest assurances of becoming lawful permanent US residents and subjected to squalid living conditions, fraudulent payment practises, and threats of serious harm upon their arrival.
The complaint alleges that recruiting agents hired by the marine industry company Signal International held the guest workers' passports and visas, coerced them into paying extraordinary fees for recruitment, immigration processing and travel, and threatened the workers with serious legal and physical harm if they did not work under the Signal-restricted guest worker visa.
The complaint also alleges that once in the US, the men were required to live in Signal's guarded, over crowded labour camps, subjected to psychological abuse and defrauded out of adequate payment for their work.
The ACLU charges that the federal government has fallen short of its responsibility to protect the rights of guest workers in this country.
According to the lawsuit, the treatment of the workers violates the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (TVPA) and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act (RICO).
In addition to the federal court litigation, in partnership with the ACLU, the workers have testified before the UN special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, the UN special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, and senior staff at the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Signal, a marine and fabrication company with shipyards in Mississippi, Texas and Alabama, is a subcontractor for several major multinational companies.
