I have e-filed on May 22

No updates later .
I have an infopass appt on Aug 19 as I pass my 90 days .Can you please tell us your Infopass experince ? Hopefully this would help me and others in similar situation.
Hey indian111, see my previous posts for the infopass exp. Just to give you a gist, it was a useless appointment. They did not offer me any kind of help. After reading through different forums, I have noticed that there were quite a few CPO emails yesterday for people filed within the same time frame. So I think the infopass appointment did not in any way impact the decision. This is just my assumption.
But I would definitely have the infopass done and then go to the local congressman or senator office to get things resolved.
That was my original plan too. I never expected miracles to happen with the infopass appointment. That would have just given me an additional proof on my part to show that I was diligent in getting the issue resolved
Let me know if you need more details and I will be happy to provide them.

Perhaps we can refer USCIS to some of the rogue lawyers we deal on a daily basis. They will have to talk to the lawyer's paralegal, get an appointment to talk to the lawyer after 48 hours and get a lousy half ass written response prepared and that too a week late.

Hi abhisam - I did the same. What happened to your EAD renewal application.?
my application was forwarded to the phoenix lockbox. My checks were cashed from phoenix and then the application was sent to Texas. I recieved reciept notice dated april 16from Texas Service center and am waiting for the approval. I had read in some USCIS press release that if you send your application via usps then they will forward it to the correct center but if you send it via fedex or other courier service then they will return the application to you.
hope this helps.

Thank you for contacting me about the DREAM Act. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
Our immigration system is broken and needs to be corrected. I agree with the principles of giving aspiring students the ability to follow their dreams, complete college, and contribute to our society and economy. However, I firmly believe the separate passage of the DREAM Act would hinder our ability to ultimately pass comprehensive immigration reform and voted against it when it came before the House in December. We need comprehensive immigration reform now�for fairness, for families, and for our economy.
If we focus on only one aspect of immigration reform, we will not solve our problems. Such an approach unfairly excludes many important interests and groups from a solution. Employers need access to the legal immigrant workforce necessary to keep their businesses growing and should not be asked to act as law enforcement or punished for hiring folks with false identification if they made a good faith effort to authenticate it. Given the practicalities of the situation and our current budget constraints, we need to provide a path for legal status to those already in this country, not just for students or those serving in the military.
American jobs and businesses depend on a comprehensive immigration solution. Oregon�s own Coalition for a Working Oregon has done research showing how bogus impractical deportation schemes would lead to a loss of 76,000 jobs for legal workers in Oregon. This drop in economic activity would cost the State of Oregon as much as $656 million in revenue and lower small business income by 8.5 percent. It is time now for comprehensive immigration reform. It is the right thing to do for those who want to contribute to America, for our economy, and for our country. Half measures no matter how well intended undermine our ability to get to the real solution�comprehensive immigration reform.
Although the House of Representatives passed the DREAM Act on December 8, 2010, the Senate failed to invoke cloture, the procedural vote that is required to end debate and allow a final vote. As a result, the DREAM Act was not considered by the Senate prior to the end of the 111th Congress and legislative efforts must begin again in the 112th Congress. Please be assured I will keep your opinions in mind as the debate continues.
It is a privilege to serve you in the United States Congress.
Sincerely,
Kurt Schrader

By grace of Almighty, finally my Inbox received the email from USCIS that I was eagerly waiting for.
Just few minutes back, I received the Email from USCIS for myself, my wife and daughter saying "Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident".
It's a long journey started in August 1997 with landing in Washington Dulles Airport. Got a chance to start the GC process by filing Labor in 2001. The labor approval didn't come until 2007.
In 2004 had to take a transfer to different company which caused me to start the Labor again in Nov 2004. Lost the valuable 3 years of PD date.
Finally the approval for 2nd labor came just right before 2007 July Fiasco. Luckily I had my attorney filed my application on July 2nd itself. And Rest you know the story.
All throughout I was on H1B, on permanent employment and never out of status. Never had any problem with Immigration process except for the GC delay. In any way it was an interesting journey, making new friends, had the chance to live in SFO, LA, New Jersey, Virginia and currently in Maryland.
Many thanks to IV and its members for providing the wonderful platform for sharing and collaborating for common cause.
I wish all the best to all those who are still in queue. Hang in there. Your turn will come.

coopheal ,
I have been contributing. Even for the latest Capitol Hill effort I did call my friends and they did contribute. I have the numbers. I myself contributed 100$. I would have spent at least 8 hours making calls and making my friends contribute $. I never gave up on that. But still I do not get enough motivation to keep this doing. I have collected around 200$ at my work for meeting the lawmakers effort but returned the money to individuals. I am sure it would have ended up helping EB2.
reddymjm,
I participated in IV lobby day. Myself along with other IV members presented the talking points to lawmakers. One thing I can say for sure is those materials didn't have a single line for EB2 alone. IV's strategy is to strive for common solutions which would benefit every one.

We, the "aliens".
"Part of my frustration is to hear illegal immigrants called immigrants when I'm called an alien. I'm doing things right, but I'm still called an alien," ... "If I lose my job tomorrow, my reward is a ticket back home." Very true...
Most of my colleagues on L1/H1 visas went back upon completion of their 5/6 year terms, they never applied for GC. Couple of them are right now packing back.
The management of the company (not IT related) bravely decided to replace the "aliens" by american engineers. This proud decision had a disaterous consequence - our international based customers pulled back and found other contractors. Despite of all the money pumped to promote the "american" presence in the company, down-sizing is on its way and closure is on the horizon...
I was stupid enough to decide in 2003 to apply for a GC and to bear all this BS. Now working hard on plan B and waiting for the right moment.
Seriously considering plan B - Packing up.

We do not have a set date for ending registrations. We are planning on accepting registrations all year long for Team IV. However we recommend people signing up sooner than later. Here is why I say that. The DC and Houston events have a cap on the number of participants and the sooner we sign up the better are our chances of getting a spot to participate in the event. Remember you do not have to run the entire 10 miles or entire half marathon. you can walk, run a few miles, walk the rest etc. I am working towards running the entire 13.1 miles in Houston but I will be happy even if I run half and walk the other half.
The second reason is fund raising. I have a fundraising goal of 5$00 this year ans starting out early will give me a higher probablity of meeting my goal or exceeding it. I am going to be writing letters to my friends/ family to contribute towards IV as early as next week. I will see if I can raise atleast 150 to 200$ by doing that. I am going to organize a summer BBQ and have a cover charge or put a donation box at the BBQ. I will see how much I can raise doing that. My third event will be around November. I was planning on partnering with some friends and baking some pie's, puff pastry's, Cookies, kebobs and selling them at a local farmers maket on a saturday. Hopefully I will raise more than $500 doing all these. This should be a fun filled year for me.
Depending on how my training goes, I should know in 3 months if I am capable of doing the half marathon in 2009. When does the registration end?

Hello,
My cousin H1-B has been selected in the lottery, so her H1-B is in process for this year, but her husband's H1-B was approved last year, so he is planning to get H1-B stamped and come here. If she waits for her H1-B to get approved and come then it will be sometime the end of this year. Is it possible that she can come here on H-4 visa while her H1-B is still in process? Need urgent help on this. She has never been to US.
She can come here on H4 while the H1 is in process, but when her H1 is approved, she must go back to her home country and get her stamping done to get the new I-94 at the port of entry.

Update from Infopass at Cleveland office - We were told that our files are with an officer right now. Also, we called to speak with a rep. and were told that our Service Request will be processed on August 18th (we initiated it on August 3rd). Apart from this, we have contacted both our senators and congressman. In addition, I sent an email to NCSCfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov and got a standard reply. I think I have fired on all cylinders and will be hoping that one of them will work.
Keep us posted.
I spoke with IO on 3rd, initiated SR on 4th, initiated congressional request today i.e. 5th. My Infopass is on 11th. Will complete 10 years in US on 13th. Birthday few days after that. So I guess something should work...ROFL...

I recently got my Indian passport renewed at CGI SFO. Everything went smoothly. Here's some info for other people's benefit. My old passport expires in Sep 2008.
I printed out the online application form and applied by mail. Enclosed the following
Application form
2 Passport photos (they returned one photo back with new passport)
Notarized copy of Drivers Lic
Notarized copy of EAD
Notarized copy of I 797
Copy of Masters Degree Cert for ECNR status.
Current passport + Photocopies of front and back page and current I-94/Visa.
Single money order for $60($40 Passport renewal fee + $20 fee for return by overnight courier).
Total Cost = $60 MO + $16 Fedex + $30 Notary = $106.
The Consulate received my application on June 16th and I received my new passport on July 1st. That's just 10 working days. I was impressed :cool:

Thanks!

I am sure you would get that as well...and pretty soon. it would help though to not focus on the gc too much as who is getting earlier or later and how randomly USCIS look at things. It's better not spend our energies on something that we don;t control ..but focus on things we do or can..my 2 cents.

Sorry to hear about your aging out issue. I think there are more out there than anyone realizes.
My son aged out while I was waiting for labor cert clearance too. He is now 22 and has been in the US since was 14.
I hope and pray every day there will be some relief for our families.
Every now and then another case pops up here on immigration voice and I feel it entirely appropriate that this issue is put in with the aims of the group since it is a problem entirely created by the broken employment based immigration process.
Please listen to our voices core group and do not forget us. We are in the same queue as you all whose children benefit as derivative green card applicants, our children are just a little older when they came here and have become forgotten victims.
