Hi wc_user,
Now USCIS is on top of July 2nd and 3rd filers, especially for the applications that were transfered from NSC to TSC. You will certainly get your receipt notices with in a week.:)

Got an InfoPass scheduled, and created a SR. This is taking way too long, and now April + May approvals are rolling in...

Thank you very much for your update. Went to the Infopass today and as per the IO came to know that my case is in adjudication review and will get the interview. I don't know how much ombudsman will be helpful, but will try all options. My labour was approved in 2 months and I-140 in 18 days but it seems I485 is sturck for ever :mad:

I dont know of any link to a particular publication, but I thought it was a common knowledge that the whole point of labor certification process, is for the DOL to monitor that a potential US worker (I thought it meant US Citizen but may be not), is not being displaced by a foreign worker. To be clear here though, the DOL does not prevent an employer from going ahead and sponsoring an H1B and hiring a foreign employee. But DOL is legally directed to reject such labor applications.
Though this is applicable only for H1B hiring and subsequent filing of GC process for such an employee, I am wondering whether there is any loophole in DOL's directives that might provide a cover for employers to enquire whether a propective employee is US Citizens are not.... Especailly in the PERM process don't they have to do active recruiting efforts and gather statiscis that they tried to hire US citizens ..?? How can an employer gather statistics if they didn't ask for work authorization related details....?
May be due to possible loopholes in such laws...they are able to take it a step further and enquiring about the kind of work authorization a candidate possesses!
One can argue that an EAD guy has crossed such DOL directed verifications and legally aquired work permit. But a 'once approved 140' is not a gaurantee...right....it can get an RFE and rejected...Mostly for Employers ability to pay, but isn't it also for malpractice during PERM recruiting efforts...?
My point being, an EAD guy is not 100% cleared of the potential fact that he could be displacing an US citizen. And that puts him under the purview of possible screening by an employer (trying or facading to trying to stick to DOL rules) and being compared to an available US citizen with equal qualifications....does it not? And by virtue of that, gives the employer to ask if a candidate is EAD or not...
May be the policy of 'innocent until proven guilty' applies here and a work permit of an EAD guy to be treated legally as such and be not doubted. But I am digressing....

I agree to what you say. The intend of this thred is not to support/oppose the outsourcing/offshoring the jobs. The intent of this thred is the fradulent use of L1s by the offshoring companies.

There is nothing wrong in reporting fraud.
However your argument that you are reporting it since you cannot tolerate fraud isn't that convincing.
If you were always against injustice/lawlessness, you will see a lot of it in your daily life. Do you report or take action against each of those ? I don't think so.
After living in India for long and seeing people put up with all injustice and sometimes doing it themselves, it is hard to believe your argument that you are doing it just for the sake of law.

Guys this is a revision to the July Visa Bulletin. Meaning, even if the revision happens on July 29th to the July Visa Bulletin, it holds good for entire july.
This is not August bulletin.
Looks like people have misconception, that if their file goes to USCIS on July 2nd and visa bulletin is revised on July 3rd or later date, then they are safe. It is not so.
If at all if there is a change to the August bulletin it holds good for August and not to July bulletin.
Pls let me know if my understanding is wrong
I think revision can't be retroactive. How can u say on July 15 that on July 3rd your number was not current when infact it was current at that time....

After 2 failed marriages (i mean with 2 different companies)...some risk-taking ..coz, i left my second employer after crossing 200 days since filing I-485 , Used EAD and took up full-time employment with an awesome organization , and then later 2nd employer revoking I-140 that lead to an RFE ...and USCIS keeping the status Response received since Jan 2009 ...and now this ...after opening an SR on 08/10..Looks like it took an exact week since the SR was created.
Of course, my roller-coaster was a small one compared to the rest of the friends in this forum.. Good luck to all and thanks to one and everyone.
Cheers..

American college kids spend most of their time partying and sex. They do not study. Only a very very few really study
As usual typical stereotyping devoid of any reality and isn't even worth a reply. It is clear that knowledge of the above poster about ameriacn teenager comes from watching MTV.
No wonder otherwise tolerant americans are saying "F*** You" to fraudulent indian companies trying to commit fraud under the guise of globalization.

Did any one get their GCs WITHOUT getting the CPO email? I got PDA emails Sep 11 (saying that they have approved the I485 applications), followed by SLUDs Sep 13. I didn't get any CPO email or other notification. Should I expect the CPO emails and THEN the GCs, or just simply the GCs?
As I read through forums, I understand that there is no consistency in those sequence of online updates.
You may receive your cards without getting the CPO.
There is a chance that, your fingerprints might not be refreshed so you may be requested for FP - if such a thing happens, you will be notified.
I am under the impression that it is just a system glitch.

I just talked to one of teleblend rep (live chat on their website, very easy to do and I can do this during lunch time from office). The guy said they are working on something but was not providing any time line or details. I told him to hurryup else I will switch. Looks like we need more teleblend customers contact them to get this done faster. Guess they are waiting to see what effect or how many customers actually switch to vonage. Teleblend must offer $20 world plan in order to stay afloat in competition. I say this as they now offers $15 unlimited us-canada Vs. vonage $25 unlimited us-canada plan so far.
I'm also using teleblend and will call them tomorrow to ask for the deal...Currently their unlimited india plan is $35 + $15 + tax = close to $55.

To let you all know,
There is no contract to change the plans. I just spoke to Vonage customer service. She clearly explained me about the contract requirements. In fact there is no commitment for the new users also. The 1-year contract which shows on the website is for the Phone Adapter. They only charge for the phone adapter if you discontinue your service before 1 year. No strings for the existing customers.
Enjoy calling to India.......
Talked to a vonage customer rep:
For new users signing up for vonage, there is a contract of 1 year. If we cancel the service before 1 year, will have to pay.
Cancellation Fee: $39.99
Equipment Fee: $70+
For existing customers, plan change won't cause any change to their contract.

We should also check if we have a case to sue USCIS. Last year, they said they were going by receipt/notice date and not PDs. What are they going by this year? Hundreds of people with receipt/notice/PD later than mine have been approved. My PD is June 2004.
Yes, lets send a letter collectively to Napolitino.
Hi vikki76, bpositive, dipika, caliguy, leoindiano:
If I am correct, your PDs are current, right? Do you guys know if your case was pre-adjudicated and/or assigned to an IO? I keep reading from the forums that some apps with PDs as late as Dec 2004 and a couple of Jan 2005 got approved. Wondering why the earlier (eg. mine is July 04) not approved yet. Could we all join togther and write a letter to Napolitino(Thanks to SoP for the idea) and ask her to take some action on our cases?

I fully support this...
People who meet the conditions above can benefit the US Economy in a long run because...
1)Deficits are going to be high for a long time...in trillions, and if we are allowed to apply for naturalization directly, there is a better chance for us to pay taxes to reduce the burden.
2)If we are asked to leave now, the US is committed to Social Security payments(with the minimum 40 points) even if we are outside.
3)By now, we already have kids who are American citizens... which means that when they become 18, they can always sponsor us as citizens. All that we are asking is for the congress to do the same a few years earlier. It is better we are here in our earning years than when we are in our older years.
If this Bill is introduced in congress, people will listen because...
1)People waiting for 10 years... and done all the right things, no one can simply ignore. Also, there will be a sense of guilt on the US Government to have let the situation deteriorate. They will think of ways to make the transition smoother... remember they created a special green card category for Iraqis since there was a sense of guilt.
2) Whether this passes congress or not, there is a legitimate argument of asking for the congress to rectify the situation. That is the best we can do.
3) We need to give more and more options to the congress. Not everything sticks, but even if one or two get passed, it goes a long way to help all of us.
I personally will contribute bigtime if IV core want to take this up!

I think you can go ahead to the HR and just ask for a letter stating that your position xxxx is still available for you and that you are paid xxxx. If not, you may receive a RFE for the letter. I have seen some people not getting a RFE for letters if they attached most recent pay stubs showing they are paid prevailing wage.
This is the letter I got for support of my I485:
[...]
Hope this helps
Many thanks for your response. Yes this does help and answers many questions about what the format should be like. I have also just seen a caution on Matthew Oh's site where he indicates that USCIS may not issue RFE's but issue outright denials if the "initial evidence" is missing. See the post for 06/17/2007: Flexible RFE/NOID Response Rule and Advisory for July EB-485 Filing (http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html)
