Well, poll is over, and Soul wins with 29 votes. :)

Normally this calls for some kind of congratulations, but in the light of how truly awful that site is, I'm not sure.... :)

You're a very bad man. :) :beam:

Well done all. :)

CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG...IF I94 IS EXPIRED DOES IT NOT MEAN U R OUT OF STATUS. SHOULD YOU NOT RENEW I94 BASED ON I797 ?


He got a new I-94 in H1B approval. So he has a old expired I-94 and a new I-94 valid till 2008

My 6 yrs are getting over in Jan 2008.
1. Can I apply for H1 extension request for 3 yrs instead of EAD?
2. Or with EAD?


Excuse me but I am a novice here.

I had a doctor's appointment today and my doc asked if I had read this article: Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior - WSJ.com (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704111504576059713528698754.html) and if I agreed with the author (coming from an asian/indian family)

What do you think?

I agree 101%:D:D

The following doc, 'How the senate bill becomes a law' does not mention any waiting period after President's sign the bill to become a law

Mine is EB3 with a RD of Oct 6.
LUD was on Oct 26, 2006. No news after that. No RFEs as well.

Why would you marry in such haste & go through the trauma of not know whats going to happen i he goes to jail for the next 18 months?? why not wait until his jail issue is over ?? I am no one to judge you & mean no harm but have u thought this through ????

I am not sure whether to go for EB2 filing in PERM or wait one more year to file i485 (hope PD will reach 2003 september by next year october ). Even if i start EB2 perm now it's going to take at least one year to clear labor and i140 (if every thing smooth).
EB2 is unavailable rt now and will be severely backlogged due to cases coming from BEC. When eb3 got backlogged, several people filed quickly as eb2 in order to get eb2 benefit. However now that eb2 is unavailable it is tough to say if when it becomes available it will actually move fast at all. With BEC cases coming up, there is a chance it will be stalled at jan 2003 or earlier in order to allow old cases to be cleared. this will be enough for India quota be over.

EB3 is available rt now however the wait is very long and will move slow.

in this scenario, prioirity dates are most important than eb2 vs eb3. both are likely to be heavily backlogged anyways for india.

lets hope some immigration relief happens soon so that we dont live in such tension.

You are OK as long is 140 is approved and 180 days have passed since Filing 485... BUT
if yor employer get to know your intention and cancel 140 between 180 and 200 days before 140 is approved , you are screwed...

Thanks,


I 140 and 485 filed concurrently.
Let's say I 140 is approved after 200 (greater than 180) days, If employer revokes I 140 after 230 days (let's say he is pissed off that i left the company using Ac 21 portability)

will it create any issue for my GC ?

Is there already a poll like this for EB3?

To bad this image got corrupted somehow in the server move....a repost of the full image would sure be great.



i don't normally go for tricked-up stuff, but this one kind of hooked me. I did the "Ansel Adams" conversion to B&W which gave me a contrasty and "antique' look. Then I merged it with the original at about 45%.

This gave the shot a very surreal look.

I have a priority date of March 2004 (EB2 India) and I am still waiting for my Green Card. I think majority of the 2004 filers are in the same boat except for a lucky few who were able to get the green card after the July fiasco.

Good Luck!!

I agree. Remember there were two backlog elimination centers and the processing from Philly center was slow. So a person with a later 2004 EB2 PD application and whose LC was cleared from Dallas must have got his GC where as someone with an earlier PD was stuck in Philly. Most of the Dallas guys got their GC around that time.

Star...wha??? I just thought it looked cool :P

the process of interviews. Can you please tell us how you are notified about a possible interview, how much time you have to prepare for the interview (15 day notice, 30day notice??), how one can postpone the interview (calling USCIS or need to send a letter) etc.

This will benefit members.

invincibleasian :

Could you please share your experience with FOIA application for I-140. Did you finally get the copy ?
Also, what all document you need to apply for it ?

I am planning to do that since my employer denied me for getting I-140 copy.

Appreciate your resposne.


Fill out the G-639 form and follow the instructions. Write a covering note clearly indicating the documents yu need and include information like lin numbers etc if available. get it notarized and mail it to the address in the instructions. yu recv a application recvd note within 20 buss days. this contains a number which you can use to track yur request. I am still waiting for my request to be completed since it has been placed on the complex track!

I wanted to inform the community that our GC is finally approved... I just checked my email hoping against hope that I might see some good news and good news is what I saw...
This is a tremendous relief to us.
They have approved and ordered card production to myself and my spouse. But looks like they have not approved our son's GC. Hope they don't delay that last piece of processing any longer.

Good luck to everybody else and hope you all the best.


Isn't this everyody's concern ? GC process is something that has absolutely no predictability. It's all luck...I've been waiting for that moment from almost 8 years postponing many important decisions in life. So, I've come to the realization that the only thing we can do is hope.

USCIS RELEASES PRELIMINARY NUMBER OF FY 2009 H-1B CAP FILINGS

WASHINGTON � U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a preliminary number of nearly 163,000 H-1B petitions received during the filing period ending on April 7, 2008. More than 31,200 of those petitions were for the advanced degree category.

USCIS expects next week it will conduct the computer-generated random selection process, beginning with the selection of the 20,000 petitions under the advanced degree exemption. Those petitions not selected under the advanced degree category will join the random selection process for the cap-subject 65,000 limit.

USCIS will reject, and return filing fees for all cap-subject petitions not randomly selected, unless found to be a duplicate. USCIS will handle duplicate filings in accordance with the interim final rule published on March 24, 2008 in the Federal Register. USCIS will provide regular updates as the processing of FY 2009 H-1B cap cases continues.
