Hello,
I have a few questions regarding the application for AP for a dependent, and I would appreciate it if someone would answer them.
1. If the dependent is applying for AP, should I include the primary applicant's I-485 in the application packet?
>>> U mean 1-485 receipt notice then no, just apply the dependents i-485 notice
2. The dependent has an EAD. Is it necessary to include copy(ies) of the EADs with the AP packet?
>>> Yes, it shows the current status as on EAD.
3. If the previous AP has expired, is the applicationo process for a new AP different from that if a non-expired AP is being renewed?
>>>No, apply as renew, I had done this last time and it worked out alright
4. I was reading in some threads that the $305 fee will be waived if there is a pending I-485. Is that correct?
>>>No way man, we have to shell out(if you are july'07 filer), even otherwise does 305 really matter?? its not worth the hassle of rfe,denial refiling etc(just my humble opinion).If possible take a look at my blog post, might be helpful in writing a cover letter.
Thanks in advance!

This is for the ones who think that the discrimination based on EB3 or Eb2 is a bigger issue! I would not get into the discussion on why I think that IV is not just about EB2. Also, on our forums it's about reality and not empathy, which everyone should understand.
Now having said that, please direct your energy towards elimination of country limits rather than fighting a fight which was in your past. Why your company put you in EB3 and not EB2 is not something USCIS or US can control anyways. But when you are EB2 or EB3 with same qualification, experience and expertise compared to someone from say Europe, Australia and many other countries but China, India, Mexico and Philippines than why should that other person get it before you do when you applied before him???? What is America getting anything different from this other person?
Now talking about diversity for country limits India is more diverse than any other country in the world! And hey, most of them are already here in the country and waiting in queue, how is this helping the diversity?
What is use of that? At the year end all remaining numbers will come back to India and China. This year they got 9000 numbers all the numbers went in EB2 group. There is no advantages for EB3I. All you can achieve is pulling down the EB3 ROW by years to achieve may be 2 months advancement for EB3I. Best way is put the stricter norms for EB2 avoid the people misusing the EB2. So that these number will flow to EB3 like how the EB2 is getting numbers from EB1.

A good attorney should be able to get those who availed themselves of the AC21 opportunity free and clear in their green card journey. The law seems pretty clear on this to me.
This is clearly a big deal for much of the IV community, who are stuck in this process due to inadequate EB visas and inefficient immigration service center processing.
I believe this might end up needing a class action litigation (for violating AC21 law) and an immigration attorney could make a name for him/herself in the process of this case!
Witness Carl Shusterman's challenge of the USCIS's erroneous interpretation of physician NIW laws and his subsequent stature in the field.
If there are adequate numbers of you, which based on this thread there seem to be quite a few, then approaching a good lawyer to represent the group pro bono and getting this mess sorted out for good might be a consideration.
Any thoughts?

One option for H4s could be to involve in organizations like Bill and Melinda Gates foundation or similar social service organizations. Well educated people can do wonders in social service. Everyone must do social service, it would be great if H4s can occupy themselves more into voluntary work etc...

can we stop "the ombudsman" from posting messages that have absolutely no logic just pasted articles from right wing media/blogs?
who is he to keep us flowing in the right direction?
I am glad someone on this site injects a daily dose of reality - half the people that post are out to lunch, anyway!
Keep it up, Ombudsman! And let the whiners whine! There seem to be too many of them, anyway. Lots of people who come up with lots of "suggestions." Mostly nonsense, anyway. And then there are some that post messages in the news article thread that are simply wrong and inaccurate. Some people are still in third grade...they believe everything that they read. And believe everything that they hear on TV or the radio. If Chris Matthews or Bill O'Reilly is your source of accurate news or objective analysis, why, even the heavens weep for you!
BTW, there are people on here who think that "The Nation" is a right-wing newspaper! How retarded is that! Katrina van den Heuvel, the editor of The Nation, is no right winger!

In 2001 when I travelled to India, I paid 1200 to fly NWA. I paid 1000$ in 2008 on Asiana. Very good service. Although airline costs have increased, price of tickets havent increased proportionally.
Agree with the poster, treat airlines like a CAB. If you get good service, you are lucky.

I called Rep Lamar Smith office. The lady who picked up the phone asked me we are getting lot of calls. She asked me are you in supprot of the bill? I told her yes. I also told her that I am having master's degree from USA. My children are top student but may not get admission in some of NJ medical college just because we did not get GC since last 7 years. So we need help from Rep Lamar Smith to make USA more competitive. She also wanted to know that from where I was calling.
She told me that she will convey the message to Rep Lamar Smith.

There is a good chance that 2005 PD might get approved in 2010 summer , even with current system unless USCIS looses more visa #s. So IV and all of us have to scream at high pitch and frequently so that no more Visa #s are lost. I think it is happening
2003 this summer , 2004 in 09 and 2005 in 2010 is quite possible.
Now if we all contribute more $$$ to IV we can expedite the above time table.
data indicates some movement in approvals for EB3-I in last 3 weeks. sorry IV , unless sorting issue is fixed, rich data is not of much use . Example: sort by PD's does string sorting instead of date sorting .
Cheer up ...it will happen

This is great... I don't think we could have asked for anything more. numbers USA is already harping about it. But no guest worker thing makes it much less controversial.
However I think our biggest challenge is in the house. So we will have to lobby hard to the house members who are going to be in the conference.
This bill has some very good things for graduate students. And they are the most organized ones. So we can team up with student associations to mount a big grass roots campaign.

I do undersatnd that these companies did not help you.. y don't u understand that we r not talking about u :) the statistics r these companies bring tens of thousands here every year from one country, yes on H1 or L1, not to sponsor them for greencards, but arriving here with a dual intent visa that allows for greencard application is not such a casual opportunity and that's what I'm telling you is rarely available to the equally qualified non-retrogressed folks. Once here, those thousands transfer to these small/mid size companies u mentioned and choose to stay and apply for greencards even though they know that with their huge numbers current rules will make their greencard journey longer..
Yes adjusting the quota percentages should be on the table, but if these companies hurt you by creating a longer line than the quota allows, , then you should take issue with these companies before you take it at your fellow non-retrogressed immigrants.
Hello! Infosys, Wipro and all those companies are NOT the main sponsors of green cards, which is the reason we're in this forum, no? Most of the sponsors are US based small and medium sized companies.
I don't care how many visas they get, the fact is that it doesn't affect me! I neither have a job with them nor I benefited from them grabbing a bulk of visas. End of the day I'm held back because of where I was born.
Look, this may be hard for you to understand, but just because those companies are in my country didn't and doesn't help me one iota. Everyone's on their own here.
Thanks for understanding that I have an advanced degree.
That is ridiculous. I never said that nor I will. The reason is because those companies MORE people exist in those countries, and THEY'RE CHEAPER and poorer, that's something I do expect you to understand.
Did stereotyping help you in your discussions earlier?

I think a change of leadership of IV is critical if we have to get anywhere. IV has not been able to achieve a single thing in all of its existence. Not a single thing, nada, zitto, zapata. Not disclosing the issues they are working on, not disclosing how the funds are distributed, not disclosing the lobbyist they are using. Who in the world calls that leadership!
That is the reason that no one wants to contribute. First get some results, show people results for what they have paid for. Then ask for more money. Most people I talk to are confident that IV will achieve nothing given their track record. I tried to convince a colleague to join IV. He bet with me that they will not be able to achieve even this filing I-485 issue. He bet that he will join and pay if they did.
I know IV works like dIVorced wIVes club and saying anything negative is taboo. Anyone saying anything negative is crushed with (p)curses. Only good mushy things are allowed here. So here it is: We will get our GCs by the end of the month. Hallelujah!
But I am writing this for the benefit of IV and please take this as constructively as you can. As a member, I have full right to suggest a change of leadership when I think it can help.
Nice to hear from you.
Pls. update your profile so that you are not an annonymous member and can talk to you. We definately want your leadership skills and abilities since you have been with IV for past one year and seen how we have grown and struggled to reach where we are now. Do come to DC and help us. We need people like you to help us run around and meet lawmaker offices, contact other organizations, contact employers, communicate with IV members, manage forums, contact and manage media efforts, manage funds, manage lobbying efforts with the lobbyists, go to conferences and meetings to give presentations or to simply meet people hoping for help for our cause etc etc.
We are just overwhelmed with so many tasks and most of the above tasks happen during business hours. So we find it increasingly tough to manage both our jobs and IV work. We are trying to do all the above and have requested all members to actively participate in at least their state chapters to help us out. I am sure you must have successfully led your state chapter, met all your lawmakers from your state, contacted your employer for support and have enough management experience and drive to get something done.
Please contact us and we will be happy to discuss this exciting possibility with you.
Thanks

Democrats have taken control of senate also...
I don't think that Dems are quite there yet. I thought I saw CNN reporting one seat in Virginia still undecided. This is the seat where Allen's the incumbent. He is trailing by a thin margin, and I suppose there'd be a recount here. It appears Allen may lose his senate seat in Virginia thanks to his infamous utterance. In that case Dems have the majority.
If GOP were to retain majority in Senate and Dems in House, what would be fate of the congress? Will anything pass through both houses?

I wish there was a better way to establish priority date other than an approved I-140. Anyways...
I am worried that if I get laid off or other people at our site are laid off, how will it affect my I-140 processing which is pending at TSC? Has anyone been denied I-140 because of layoffs by the company?
The company said they will not revoke the 140 application and will send me the approval if it comes later (so I can at least retain the priority date if I have to do this all over again at a new company).
Another thing that worries me is that the company is refusing to do premium processing of the I-140 application, even if I am ready to pay for the premium processing fees. I am at loss how to convince their dense mind what it means to lose the priority date.
This sounds unfair. Because of the backlogs, you have waited 6 years. Now you got laid off and you lost everything. Would that be the situation if there was no backlog and you were able to get your green card within, say 2 or 4 years?
I think those government agencies should take responsibilities and compensate for your loss.
Anyone thought about that?

Visiting IV webiste after long time, (yes I got my GC :) ), feel nothing has changed, another flaming post from logiclife and he hopes it will touch egos of those ( as he calls them cowards), but my friend their skin so thick they won't even feel it,
I have been in this position, when I tried to start state chapter, I was not able to find single person, At that time I had EAD and sucessfully changed jobs, I knew many friends who were still in H1B and crib on every time how they have been exploited,
Anyway one thing comes to my mind, it still amazes how Mahatma Gandhi was able to inspire people out of this lot to do what they did

If I am offending anyone who tries to predict on visa bulleting cut-off days, I am sorry for doing so in advance. The agencies involved in this process themselves are out of clue and it is clearly pointed out by ombudsmen himself. I am still puzzled how they derive the cut-off days every month without such statistics? In the past there were numerous statistics regarding the cut-off date prediction and not even came close to what is getting published. This is one department who defy any logic in determining the cut-off dates. I think it is mere waste of time and energy in trying to do so at our end based on my past experience.
Thanks
No offense taken - I totally agree
