As a hypothetical example (because vehicle prices always depreciate, so please ignore the reality), let's say you bought that Gas guzzling SUV at 50k and now suddenly after 2 years, due to whatever reason, you go and try to sell the same SUV to the same dealer and he quotes you 5k. Wouldn't you fault that dealer for selling you the same thing at 50k when the actual value of the same asset 2 year back was 5k (but he sold you at 50k and you have only paid back 10k in monthly installments until now). Who is to blame for that 35k deficit? You? Forget the monthly payments here and concentrate on the actual asset value.
You forgot that dealer is also making 5K for the SUV that he bought from manufacturer for $50,000. In the end everyone lost 35K. So dealer will loose multiples 35K based on how many SUV he has in his inventory. You might suggest he should go to the manufacturer ?
What you are saying is unprecedented, it has never happened I don't know why are you so convince that it someone else's fault. You are living with a very simplistic and naive idea about the world and you are convinced that's the way of life. Not only that, you are trying to convince others of that. From what I know and seen what you suggest doesn't work and refusal to accept a problem only deepens it.
Peace :)

Admin: If you like you may please close this thread.
Final update on this issue.
Here is what I have been told. Please feel free to check with AILA or your lawyer. They may have more info.
In general, if an employer applies for a permanent labor certification for an individual with the Department of Labor (DOL), while DOL has already certified one or more positions with same or different employer for the same individual , it will be subjected to more scrutiny to prevent any fraud.
Thank You and Good Bye!
Lawer will not give such info becasue people will stop filling new labor and they will loose business. More RFE and Audited case more work for them..
LOL !!

actually it does matter, right. what happens if the dates retrogress significantly for EB2 again, because of the influx of EB3 to EB2 ports? Then EB2 folks with later priority dates will miss the boat.
But the question is whether the EB2 folks who are missing out are getting an "unfair" deal. That is debatable.
Let us assume that EB2 is going to be current in a year or even sooner than that. Given that situation, and arguing that about 500 people jumped ahead into line over you in to EB2 from EB3, still I do not foresee that their GC's will be approved before the people who are already in line, because
1) as FIFO is not being followed by USCIS, probably they are processing cases based on RD,
2) PD porting is effectively done at the time the second I-140 IS APPROVED. At I-485 stage you can only hope to PD recapture and cross your fingers after sending a no fee letter. This will surely would need additional scrutiny, hence is not a so called 'Low hanging fruit'. Even if an EB3 person wants to start his process right now, it will not be probably before a year and half to two years before he/she is ready to port, and by that time you are past the gate or significantly nearer.
so my point of view is if you look at this thing negatively, you would have a Heartburn and related health issues, but if you are positive and an optimist you would deserve what you get.
stay healthy! that is more important than stressing yourself on issues which in the long term do not matter really. (You will get GC on or two rears later in the worst case scenario). cheer up folks:D:D:D

You have to be kidding! Here people are crying to get there EAD's extended and you think the Govt will give us citizenship???
Please i suggest everyone to wake up and smell the coffee/chai.
If you think giving us citizenship will be easy becoz it will prop up their vote bank think again coz it will never happen. Imagine the headlines which says recession time 10M americans out of job, foreign workers to get citizenship LMAO!
Forget this ever happening in a recession time and not much of a chance in the boom time either, see how the Anti-Immi's will eat everyone up for this ridiculous suggestion, please remember we're nothing in the larger scheme of things for the decision making people, we need to understand our limitation and strengths and play by them, IV does a decent job of that.
Do think rationally before coming up with ridiculous ideas like giving senators free pizza or asking for-direct citizenship. lol.

No I did not contact KCC.
In the below quote gpawar says that she used the case number to find out from KCC on what date the H1 was approved. So that means we need a case number to call KCC. My question was when and where do we get this case number ?
Hi,
I'd posted a note earlier. I haven't received any updates yet. I am in contact with 4 other people who interviewed on 4th Jan and are still awaiting a reply. The kentucky number mentioned in one of the replys confirms the date on which our H1 was approved. When you call up the number, on mentioning your case #, it pulls up the date on which H1b was approved.
Could anyone who's received a email/ call please post a message to the group, indicating the wait time and date of the first interview?
Thanks!

I am sorry if I am wrong, but do you think if IV CORE try to hold a meeting with top CIS officials on this issue, wouldn't that be more effective? Many members reported not getting proper response to letters. Who knows whether anyone @CIS has time & willingness to read and act on our letters? Why not take an active approach rather than passive one?
I agree, We still should send the letters though. I will send mine by monday Nov. 10. Meanwhile, if we can do the webfax or email, we may can have more members participate. just my 2 cents!
Thanks for planning to send the letters.
Actually this letter campaign is just one part of the whole exercize. There are other efforts to talk with USCIS officials but to get positive/quick results we need to make enough noise so that officials recognize that it is a problem affecting large number of people. We need to keep on sending letters.
As can be expected its not an easy task to establish a proper channel and talk to officials and make them agree that recent spate of denials are wrong and are not in accordance with AC21 regulations (as someone pointed out AC21 regulations are only guidelines and not rules - so we need to tread a careful path here). To establish this proper channel and also for strong negotiation in our favor - we need to bring attention to this issue. The best way for that is to write to them - of course we might receive some generic replies, its fine - but if we send hundreds of letters with same request/complaint it does will catch their attention and help us in speeding up the other steps that are thought of as part of this campaign.
But first thing is to write - its kind of disappointing to see the number of letters sent (or to be sent). It only takes a few minutes.

I just spoke to customer service .they mentioned all cell calls to india are free under this WORLD plan.who ever is signing up , can proceed , can call customer service to confirm this as well to avoid any surprise charges
bestofall - is right.
Even I am chatting with the customer rep, I have asked many questions about the artes and every time the rep said there is no charge for INDIA, we can call any type of network which is absolutely free.
Please see the below few key replies from the chat person
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Vonage World, you will have unlimited calling to landlines and cell phones in India.
That will include all types of phones and numbers,
You can only see that the chart displays the rate per minute that you would have without Vonage World plan. We do still have plans that do not include India for free therefore we need to keep the list specific to clarify the rate per minute without Vonage World.
I can assure you that with Vonage World, ALL numbers in India will be included with no additional rate per minute.

I am not aware of anything that says that you need to bring this up initially in your job search. I personally wouldn't put it in my CV.
Apply for a job, as you would if you had a green card (keeping within the AC21 parameters.) If the question of visa sponsorship comes up then you can say you do not need it. I am not sure why people bring this up with their prospective employers. If you have employment authorisation, you have it, it is not employer specific, it is not site specific, it is quite broad in its scope. The employer
has to complete the I-9 like for anyone else. Any issues would be with the USCIS at the time of adjudication and that would be if AC21 rules are broken.
I think that sometimes we project our own fears onto employers and make issues when none exist. I've seen the same sort of doubts expressed about AP travel.
Folks need to grow more confident generally. For many their immigrant petitions 140s have been approved and their 485s have been pending for quite a while. They give you these interim benefits for a reason, so you can use them!
Not sure if you are in the IT field, but a reqruiter/HR is the first interfacing person. No matter what, these are the first questions you can expect when a reqruiter calls you.
dice.com, monster.com etc... wants you to select from a dropdown what your status is and in most cases, employers/reqruiters filter reesumes based on that criteria.

Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to the forum (as a member), I have been browsing the same for quite some time and found it a good source of information regarding immigration related activities. Right now I am getting removed from my project as one of the top 3 Indian outsourcing firm is dumping their L1 resources at my client site and replacing all the citizens, GCs, EADs, H1 etc. These resources are used in projects managed and controlled by my client (most of them are consulting assignments) and these resources are used on java/.net/oracle projects, these two are violations of L1 visa restrictions set by USCIS, I want to know how and where to complain against this violation and we have all evidence to prove the same (project documents, time sheets, work assignments etc). Please let me know exactly and to which agencies we should complain.
Thanks in Advance,
Srini

Hi thanks for the FAQ.
I have question, really do we need to submit
Form I-134 Affidavit of Support (notarized) or I-864 for employment based dependents AOS.
Why some attorney are advising and some are not?
If we follow 485 instructions we do not need to submit.
Are there any body submitted with out affidavit of support to thier dependent's AOS?

If rumors are true there is no point in sending I485 application if State dept announces that Visa is not available on July 2nd Morning. If confusion or rumor is cleared then Lawyers can send the application. That stand may be correct. But what if State Dept announces on Wednesday. Then those who are filed on Monday and Tuesday will get EAD and AP. I hope these rumors will not become true
If they have info about non-availbility they will announce now rather than waiting for monday morning . Also they will be in deep trouble by moving the dates without accepting single application . As AILA reported they will do it either on monday evening/tuesday quotaing the number of application received

If your so called L1 brothers are not helping us by going thru the process.. why the hell do we help them.. Over that, these suckers always try to push us down whenever they get a chance , as they just don't want to and cannot empathize with our situations. People like these are the cause of the most of the trouble that we have everywhere in the world. They should learn, that the whole world follows "How to get in line".
STOP SUPPORTING THOSE SUCKERS.. THEY NEVER AND WILL BE OF ANY HELP TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE.
L1FRAUD.. you had been talking a lot. have had you formally filed the complaint. even if you are a tunnel rat, i dun mind i always support what is right.. even if you are tunnel rat , unfortunately still I agree with you.. as for the first in your whole life you are right.
People please stop posting against our L1 brothers.
Just because you are not getting your own greencard fast enough, you are posting against L1s. If you had an opportunity, you will also apply as L1 for greencard. Did you all not try for Labor Subs? Antis are posting such messages to provoke you. If they want to report, let them report. Why creating fake profiles and posting against our L1 brothers.
