If it makes you feel better -- its 11 years for us :). And no Labor Cert since I am black-logged at PBEC. So we need the annual H1B extension ritual :(

Yep, if CIR falls apart its pack-your-bags-and-go-home for us.

Guys,
I am happy to share with you all that I applied my 485 on 1 week of June and it got approved today.

My PD was dec 2005. eb3. India.

Thought i would share with you all.:)


Correct me if i am wrong. In May Visa bulletin the PD date was April 2004 and in June 13 th Visa bulletin it was Current for July filer and after that everybody knows about the fiasco. How come you filed in June when your PD was not current (Your PD in mail is Dec 2005)?

Hi sts_seeker,
Could you please provide me USCIS customer service phone number options to discuss about RFE.

There is an Indian guy who applied on June 1st and got approved.

But the OP's approval doesn't make sense


But that was Oct 2002 PD, so he was eligible to file

There seems to be two waiting with PD 2003??? who are these people and what is their issue?? please let us know what your problem is? People with PD early 2005 are being aproved and you are still waiting? does not make any sense. You need to do something.

I dont think economy is THAT bad.

It is in fact going through the worst ever phase!

dude, leave alone pr, i have a canadian passport, this cbsa (canada border services agency) lady one day asked me "who are you going to meet in canada?"
i could not believe the stupidity of this woman. So, i replied "mr. Dhurandhar bhadvadekar"..
She waited a second to digest it, then said, "okay..go..!!"..

lol

I have a lawyer who is representing me..so he got the RFE & he fowarded it to me. In your case i would just call USCIS and check to see if you will recieve RFE's since you don't have a lawyer representing you.

Received the 'Your application has been approved....' email from CRIS too on 12/02!!

This is getting me really tensed :-(

Hi,

What is this email from CRIS, you are mentioning?

You may be getting your AP?? or GC itself now? Let us hope for the best.

Regards

what happens if the passport gets stamped and got a new I94 in the vancouver airport and no inspection after coming back to US.
what should we enter as last entry into us


Then put the Vancouver visit as the last entry.

Thanks a lot for ur reply .. bt can u pls tell me as to hw can i do my opt on h1 ie if its approved ??? also the query and approval notice was sent on the same day . wen i call up the uscis they dnt mention this qry thgh my consultant sent this to me . nw wat shud i do in this case where im nt sure as to is this true that their is a qry or my employer is doing somethng else .

There is a hospital in Brooklyn New York where one of my friend was given H1-B and he is doing his residency from there. I will let you know.

I just thought its better reply then just assuming that university will do H1B for you.

I had an appointment on the 9th but have not received any cancellation notice yet. I am in NJ and would request if people can mention for which USCIS location were the fingerprinting appointments for?

This would be my 2nd fingerprinting appointment. The first one in 07 costed us money and messed up my vacation when our laywers said not to miss it.

Its not like I grown new fingers already!

You are a senior member. Why are you creating useless thread? People browse IV forums for valuable and important information. People (volunteers) works extra time on limited resources to have this website up & running. I do not understand what made you start this useless thread and waste others time?:eek:


I am sorry man, I did not think from your perspective.

This is a good doc to help you get started in correcting your I-94.

Dear Members,

IV recommends that you wear IV T shirts for the Rally.

Here is a link to buy IV T-Shirts for the rally.
http://www.cafepress.com/immivoice/

If you are participating in the rally, please buy your IV-Shirt today. It would be help to convey the message if all the rally participants are wearing IV T-shirts. It would be even better if the T-Shirt would have the name of the State where you reside. IV volunteers have worked very hard to create the designs and products at IV merchandise shop. Check it out:

http://www.cafepress.com/immivoice/3465245

Pls start buying as soon as possible so that the T shirts can be shipped to your home before you come for the rally.
Hi,

I would like to buy an IV T-shirt at DC, since it is too late for me to order online. Will the T-shirts be available there? Please let me know.

Thanks.

If you have AAA membership, try them, they do it for free for 1 set typically.
You may have to go in the hours stipulated by them.

you guys are missing the point. contest rules have to be followed to the letter because they are a legal contract. if the rules state that the parents have to be legal residents then that's the way it is. if they decide to change the rules for the next contest due to political pressure , fine. but now they are opening themselves up to lawsuits for not following their own contract. i think it's funny how so many people are in favor of breaking the law as long as it suits their agenda. oh wait these are all people in favor of people breaking the law to come to america illegally. correct me if i'm wrong.
why are we assuming that the parents are illegals?? as far as I know, it has not been reported anywhere in the media that the parents were here illegally. if it has, please post relevant links.

as for being a legal resident, do the rules state that you need to be a legal resident for immigration benefits or tax benefits?

For IRS purposes, 180 days or more on a valid non immig. worker status and you are a legal resident.....

Hi all, my first post here. The forum has been truly useful so far and I'm glad to join today. I was one of those just lurking around but now I really need the feedback from D70 experts here since my 6 month old D70 won't work anymore overnight. I just put it back in the shock-proof case and it slept there, next morning it was no longer usable.

It seems like it's resetting constantly by itself. The MENU key shows the menu briefly and disappears, the last picture review button shows the last picture on the flash card briefly and also disappears.

When there's a card in it blinks the green light about once a second. Seems like it's really rebooting every second.

There is no display on the control LCD near the on/off switch. It is blank and does not show any traces of anything, just plain blank.

On the big LCD preview screen it is normally blank but like I said it does briefly display the last picture taken when you press review, but then disappears also at 1 second interval.

When the menu shows briefly after pressing MENU the movement keys do not affect the selection, all keys seem disabled during that brief period of time.

I've changed batteries, lenses, pushed every button and checked the lens socket connectors to see if anything looked strange - everything seems ok here. Tested the same batteries on another D70 and worked perfect just this morning.

It has taken no shocks or beating. It's a brand new D70 (6 months and a few days) and my retailer denies me warranty after 6 months - Murphy's Law applied to warranties says your equipment will break exactly after the warranty voids. I feel like I've been ripped off buying a refurbished piece for the price of a new one...but that's for another discussion.

I've written Nikon a few minutes ago but in the meantime I'd like to know if anyone here knows of a "keylock" switch or something that could disallow me access to the camera. Or could be a stuck reset switch or something like that. The menu shows and the internal mechanism is ok because it can read the last photo and displays readable stuff. The reset on the bottom of the camera does not seem ot reset anything, it just blanks the screen out briefly but then it goes back into an infinite reboot loop.

Help please!

Thanks and glad to join this forum.

All,
I submitted my first application on July 2nd. since I did not get receipt notice till Aug 16th so I filled the second (as back up) one on Aug 16th. Later I did get my receipt notices for July 2nd.
Though, I did put stop payment on the checks for the appliaction filled on Aug 16th but yesterday, I received their receipt notices.
Now, I have two A#s one for July 2nd applications and another one for Aug 16th appliaction.
I was planning to just sit on it and do not respond to finger printing notice or any communciation from USCIS for Aug 16th application and hence causing it to get rejected.
The reason I do not want to communicate with USCIS is that I don't want any confusion and hence anything happen to my July 2nd application.
Is it a right strategy? Please comment.

I just spoke to a service representative at USCIS in Jacksonville, Florida, and he explained that the I-797 cancellation notice will be identical to the original we received, except that it will say "Appointment Cancelled- No need to appear at ASC".
I explained that I already knew that but I was confused that my notice stated right below "cancelled" that I was to appear anyway.
He said that this is how they do it, but the appointment is definitely cancelled and we should receive reschedule notices in the next 2-4 weeks. I explained that I could not afford to miss this appointment so I needed to be 100% sure that it was cancelled instead of just assuming I didn't need to go.
He said due to a system error all appointments from July 5-10 were cancelled and would be rescheduled. He was very reassuring that those of us who received the cancellation notice were not going to run into problems because of all the confusion.
So I guess we sit back and wait some more huh?
I just thought I should share that info since I know there are quite a few here who are in the same situation and since our future depends on this it's not worth missing anything.
Hope that helps some! Happy 4th everyone!:o
