Excellent words Ragz,
However i have found that motivating Desis is like milking a male buffalo (no offence to our fellow desis helping out on Immigration Voice.
There is just too much inertia, plain negativity, fear of being prosecuted etc. Besides WAYYY too many ppl like to sit on the fence and wait it out, see which way things swing and then take action at the last minute.
Also this might be a good time to mention community support. The Illegals, to the best of my knowledge get a good amt of community support. To the extent that even amnesty bills are introduced. Try getting the Local Indian communities to help. Most will give u long talks and suggestions, but Few will open their wallets.

PD has nothing to do with EAD processing. They're not linked.
There is no Priority Date on my I-485 receipt notice. Is that a problem?

I' am new here and find it hard to find my way through the "post all you want wherever you want":) feel that this forum gives me.
Anyways, is there anyone out there waiting on an EAD from VSC? I hoped to see an EAD section or service center section on the forum but...
I e-filed since November 3rd 2009 for EAD and did submit absolutely all required info, did biometrics in Feb.2010 not without having to inquire couple of times about the progress of my case. To this day I have received nothing that makes sense. It is an initial card.
Yes, I have done plenty of SRE, calls, mails with return receipt until I saw a movement on my case status. My card was mailed on May 26 2010. To my surprise, after 7 painful months of wait for a card that should take around 3 months; the card for some reasons (that the post office refuse to accept as being accurate) was being returned as undeliverable on the 1st of June and again the 8th of June:confused::confused::confused::confused:: (I did call USCIS between that time time period to provide the address they already had!!!).
I have not moved at all lately. The last change of address that I did was done by mail with return receipt, online, over the phone and I did receive a mail back at my new address stating that I did update my info. It was done in Novedmber 2009!!!!
Out of the blue, the address at which I received my biometrics appointment and all other documents following the many calls and inquiries was not right when it came to mail my card....:D
The post office that I did contact told me they had no reason to not deliver that particular mail since, yes my full name is displayed on the mail box, and yes it is a house not an apartment so less mismatches an all my other mails were dlivered... I have of course updated the address that they already have couple of times already but all I can do is wait ... Oh and I did the infopass as well, they could only type a note and give me a number linked to the inquiry like I get all the time. My DL expires tomorrow and the DMV won't renew without EAD or GC ...new policy at DMV!(my I485 is pending on I360 approved)
That's where my actual burden is because I have to drive myself to school and not being able to do so is just a living nightmare for me.
Now that you get the picture, I wonder if anyone who filed for an EAD at VSC since last year is still waiting? Is there any special backlog at VSC for EAD's that could help me start to understand what is going on here?

Whoever you choose, please do not go to Keshab Raj Seadie. His office is at 146 West 29th Street, NY. Phone: (212) 571-6002. Aptly named website: greencardmaker.com should be renamed greencardsucker.com
He is another worthless desi lawyer. Stay away from him! Only interested in taking your money. Poor service and once you have parted with your money good luck getting any timely response by phone or email. I have had very bad experience dealing with his office and don't be fooled by recommendations on his website saying he is very responsive etc.

Hi,
Here is my story, your help & information will be appreciated...
1. I am currently working for Company A on L1B.
2. I applied for my H1B through company B while I was in US, which got approved and is valid from Oct 2007.
3. Now, my Company B which filed for my H1B had also applied for a Change of Status with the H1 & I have got my Change of Status notice along with the H1b approval. This means that my status will change to H1 from October and my L1B will not be valid.
Now, my problem is that I do not want to Join the New company until December.
However, can I still work with my company A on L1B even if after October.
Is there any Solution where we can reverse the change of Status?? and will i still be able to work on L1B after October even if my status is H1B. Will my L1B be valid or it will get cancelled???
No, you cannot reverse the change of status. The best thing to do is to join company B. From Oct 1st your status is H1. If you would have applied for fresh H1 then you cud have continued to work for company A.For this when ever you want to change to H1, you should leave the country and come back on company B visa.
I'm not sure what your problem is to join company B from Oct 1st.
PM me if you need more details. I did this conversion from L1 to H1 long time ago.

As a California immigration lawyer who files many asylum cases, I am used to thinking of a the United States as a place of refuge and to documenting the horrible country conditions of other countries. I have successfully represented applicants for asylum who feared staying in their countries because while serving in their countries' armies, they were harmed on account of their sexual orientation.
It is therefore rather surprising to come across a story of a U.S.soldier who is fleeing to Canada (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/11/20/refugee-board-soldier-lesbian.html) because she fears harm in the U.S. Army on account of her sexual orientation. According to CBC news, U.S. Army Pte. Bethany Smith fled Canada in September 2007 from a U.S. Army base in Fort Campbell, Ky. She applied for refugee status in October 2007, saying that she was harassed and threatened by fellow soldiers over her sexual orientation and feared that her life would be in danger if she were deported and returned to the army. The Canadian authorities initially rejected in her claim in February 2009. However, on appeal, the Federal Court of Canada held that the refugee board must reconsider the case again because the Board made several mistakes in initially reviewing her claim.
The Federal Court's decision (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Smith%20and%20the%20Minister%20of%20Citizenship%20 and%20Immigration.pdf)noted that the refugee board failed to fully consider the evidence pertaining to the situation of gays and lesbians in the U.S. Army to determine whether Pte. Smith could have availed herself of protection in the United States. The Federal Court also noted that the Board failed to determine whether Pte. Smith would be persecuted on account of her social group - as a lesbian in the U.S. Army if forced to return. There were other errors mentioned in the decision.
It is sad that the U.S. policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," is the basis of an asylum claim in Canada. Pt. Smith was only 19 years old when she fled to Canada. From everything I read, it appears that she wanted to serve in the U.S. Army and no real desire to leave the United States. At a time when we apparently need people to serve in the Armed Forces and in fact give non-citizens a way to immigrate to the United States faster for their service, it seems ridiculous that an American citizen should have to leave. It it is time to eliminate the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

Yes, Im aware of the Cronin memo, and also the clarification on murthy.com below
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_efftrv.html
But, If you read the memo correctly, the language is vague at best, with references to a final rule that I couldnt find. Even the interim memo(Cronin) isnt available from the USCIS website.
My goal was not to restart the discussion on this. I simply wanted suggestions on how to approach USCIS to get clarity on this situation. Some options would be
1. Call USCIS : but do the people answering the call know the rules, and is their "interpretation" valid ?
2. Get an Infopass appt: Again, an IO may not be the right person responding to this
3. Contact the USCIS director : possible? how?
4. Contact AILA
5. Contact the Ombudsman
If anyone has thoughts and suggestions about how to get this clarified, please advise. My goal is to get a document from USCIS authoritatively stating their stance on this situation.

My company applied my GC is EB3. I am on H1b and has close to 15 months of my visa.
I am currently in 5th year of My h1. I have 140 approved and I want to change my job due to my financial burdens..
q: Can i change job after getting 3 more years of extension? I meant, Can I transfer the H1 which was applied with 140 after 6 years of stay? Is there a possibility that current employer can do any thing?
Also, can i port the current priority date of green card and apply a new one in Eb2 future?
q: Based on the current labor and 140 waiting time, can 15 months will be enough to change the job and apply a green card and get labor & 140 approved?
if you faced similar situation or having information, can you pass me the same. Thanks a ton.

I just got my labor approved for Masters degree and 3 years exp.
I have 3 years B.Sc degree and 3 years MCA degree from India and my education eval. shows it as equivalent to MS in computer Science.
In form ETA 750, under section 14, I have following data
College degree required:
Master of Science
Major field of study
Comp Sci/Engg,Info Sys Engg
Experience
3 years
Other fields under section 14 and 15 are blank.
RIR Advertisement has mentioned following
" Must have MS in Computer Science or Engineering, Information Systems Engineering or foreign degree equivalent with 3 years of relevant work experience."
I am little confused about "College degree required:" field. It only says "Master of Science". Should it be "Master of Science Or foreign equivalent"?

Here are the answers.
Hi Everyone
I am filling out my i-485 and I had a couple of questions.
A) What is the Expires On field in Part 1 referring to (right under the I-94#)?
Is it the actual expiry of my Visa (as printed on the Visa) or the date written on my I-94?
It should be the expity date on I94 form. If the current I94 form is expired / your visa(like H) is renewed you should get I94 attached with it with expiry date.
B) In part 3 it asks which consulate the Visa was issued. I got it at the American embassy in Oslo. I assume this is what they want to know. Could anyone reassure me?
Yes, it is the consulate where you got the visa stamp with which you entered USA.
C) In part 3b I list my wife who is an American. I assume that I should leave her A# blank. Is this correct? I also kinda think I read somewhere that even though it says middle initial (also in 3b) you should actually list the entire middle name? Is there any truth to this?
I think you can leave A# blank for your wife (but plz check with your lawer / others). Also I think you should write your name same as in your passport/other docs.
Thanks a lot. Hope someone can help me.

I only have V2 so I'm not sure if all this applies.
As far as chrome goes, I've found that speculative colors, with highlights and shadows turned on, can produce chrome looking effects if the lights are positioned correctly. It takes some playing around though. The objects are vector drawn though, so keep that in mind. The objects will never look really chrome, just metalic.
In V2 you couldn't cut a quarter out of a square. I would take 7 squares, position them in place so that it looked like a chunk was taken out of a single square, then grouped them together.
If you're looking to do serious cut away 3D modeling, and wire mesh 3D modeling, then you should look into getting a copy of 3DSmax or something equivilant. It also has great metal, glass, and gassious effects. As far as I know, Swift3D don't do that yet. (like I said though, I haven't seen V3 yet)

thank you for your reply.
but i read somewhere that its better to send chest X-Ray Report with I-693 so that USCIS will not get any excuse to send RFE in the future.
Physician will advise you if a chest X-Ray is needed.
