FBI Namecheck status (not good news) (pg. 37 of the report)
As of May 2007, USCIS reported a staggering 329,160 FBI name check cases pending, with approximately 64 percent (211,341) of those cases pending more than 90 days and approximately 32 percent (106,738) pending more than one year.40 While the percentages of long-pending cases compared to last year are similar, the absolute numbers have increased. There are now 93,358 more cases pending the name check than last year. Perhaps most disturbing, there are 31,144 FBI name check cases pending more than 33 months as compared to 21,570 last year � over a 44 percent increase in the number of cases pending more than 33 months.4
And it is only 1 year of filing I-485 ( can i take comfort that many others have been stuck 2 year, 3 year etc ). ANother reason why visa numbers got wasted is that many fellas got stuck in namecheck ( Ask many of the Indian/Chinese/Russian folks ).
I don't what crappy way they use to separate good from bad.

Chanduv23,
Thanks again for being ever so helpful. That being said, can you please share your thoughts on the following situation?
140 approved, 485 pending for more than 180 days, EAD/AP approved, and in hand.
Candidate leaves sponsoring employer and joins another employer (similar position/salary, etc.) New employer's attorneys send the AC21 letter and G-28 forms to the USCIS. The attorneys are very familiar with this, have handled lots of AC21 cases (Fragomen).
Is there any way the candidate can call USCIS customer service and ask for the attorney/representative's name on file, just to make sure that the G28 did get processed and the attorney name on file got changed from the old law firm to the new one? Would customer service share that information with the candidate?
Thanks,
Yes and no. It depends on the customer service representative or if you take infopass, it depends on the VO. You generally know when your Attorney files for G 28 because you actually sign the G 28. G 28 is like any other form like 485 or EAD or AP etc... so if your 485 and 140 and h1b everything gets filed properly why do you think g 28 does not get filed properly?
Try to be very pleasing and polite to a CS rep or a VO and try to get the info, they may let you know your Attorney on file.
Good luck

We had around 17 highly charged up and dedicated IV members who definiitely want to do "something".
There was a diverse crowd this time. We had F1 students, who are now beginning to understand the gravity of this issue. One student is a student in Journalism and is currently doing project in legal immigration.
One physician came all the way from Connecticut and his wife another physician doing residency came all the way from Long Island and our dedicated leader mpadapa came all the way from Poughkeepsie.
Me and another family came from Queens. Some were from Manhattan.
Almost everyone else resided in New Jersey.
'laborchic' was the man behind this meet and greet and his enthu never went down, he always stood up and adressed the gathering. He stressed on the importance of Unity, which the community lacks.
mapdapa discussed about local law maker meetings. He has been managing and scheduling local lawmaker meetings. Almost everyone instantly offered to meet their lawmakers - but definitely with training and some direction and efficient management.
Me, mpadapa, singhsa3, siravi and laborchic were explaining to folks the importance of IV, our goals, plans etc...
One of them was a "Birthday Boy". He accompanied his sister and brother in law whose IV handle "sweet23guyin"
We had ndbhatt, healing_wong, dressking, supermann, frankiesaysrelax, devillion696 who also actively participated.
In addition, logiclife's email newsletter got us a few more people and I do not have their IV handles, they are Badri, Tejesh, Alpesh, Sailesh.
One guy (Alpesh) was a part of San Jose rally and was an active member in the CA chapter and recently moved to NYC.
Maya is a beautiful place for a evening drink and a snack and discuss things - only drawback was that they played music that was loud, and we had to ask them to reduce the volume. The snacks were very good.
Based on the feedback over past few days and also based on some feedback about local meetings in general
Everyone wants to have a Saturday afternoon meeting in New Jersey.
The meeting must be in a conference hall or a banquet hall and have parking facilities.
One or two core members must be present
Training for law maker meets must drive the entire session with other stuff also being discussed in between.
Educating people about IVs goals and the hard work IV does in the background is a must in every chapter meeting.
We all decided that we will be active from now on, if we were not active earlier. We will build a strong State chapter.
Those who were in the "meet and Greet" yesterday - please post your experience - we all took turns and spoke and shared ideas - do please post your experience and your views.

Well, there are many folks here including me who filed around first week of june.. I haven't heard anyone getting the EAD yet. I haven't seen any lud's after the receipts. Hopefully, one more week to go and then we are all good to get the 2yr EAD....
Same experience. The checks were cashed super quick and the receipt notices were also mailed out. Now we wait in anxiety to see whether we receive the 1 year or the 2 year EADs.

My wife's EAD was applied on July 30th. She didnot recieve her EAD for 90 days, hence we took a infopass appointment and went to the local office on 92 nd day. They have informed us that they had sent a RFE on 88th day of filing and we need to wait for another 90 days after we send a response to the RFE.
Strangely the RFE that she got is for Birth Certificate which is not a required document for EAD.
I did not read anywhere that 90day count starts from the day when a response to the RFE is sent.

Yes, I agree - my experience has been the same. The customer service representative insisted the receive date was whatever showed up in the online status, even though it was ~45 days after the receipt date printed on my receipt notice.
Btw, I have a question about background/namecheck. I remember reading someplace (official) that fingerprints are valid for a period of 15 months. Now imagine this - at the end of that period, you are fingerprinted again, and while the background/namecheck is in progress the "annual lottery" period opens up in Jul/Aug/Sept. Is that file skipped again since background check is pending?
Regardless of what laws USCIS vouches for, I believe this is what happened during last year "lottery season" in Aug/Sept. My background check was completed and entered in the system mid-Aug., while the USCIS ran out of visa numbers a week or two later.
Anything is possible my friend. We are only trying to understand (from remote) what may be happening. No one there really has any well defined method to manage cases. Their annual report tells how many cases were processed, and how many visas were given away. There is nothing to vouch on this report if it was done in any genuine and sensible sequence. Monthly published processing dates, as we all know, are approximate. They are not updated regularly as no one really knows how to determine those dates (Extremes "no one before this date is pending" and "at least one case with this date has been processed, may differ by several months/years?).

Impressive to see that this thread jumped from discussing Rahman Oscar award accomplishment to terrorism.
Anyway, Rahman has come a long way from being unknown composer in his first move 'Roja' to competing in gloabl arena of Academy Awards.
It has to be a movie produced by American production house to compete in wide variety of categories. Competing from foreign country reduces the exposure.
It would be wrong to say that Rahman's talent was showcased in slumdog millionaire coz he has obvioulsy done rich material even before, but this time the timing was perfect and he was at the right time in the right place. I would like to see his doing background score for good hollywood movie. The fusion would be interesting.

Can somebody clarify what it means that "salary is large enough" for EB2?
If a PWD was obtained from the state "workforce agency" and it has some number there, the job order has been placed with that number, can DOL and/or CIS later on (while processing PERM and/or I140) still say that the salary is "not good enough for EB2"? Based on which considerations and how are we and the employer supposed to know them beforehand then?

Hey bkarnik,
As the report said that there is a possibility that there will be a loss of 40k visas. My question to you is What will be the I485 processing date in the Visa Bulletin if we assume that 40k visas are not loss by the agency. You guess estimate is also fine.

WASHINGTON - Senate leaders reached a deal Thursday on reviving a broad immigration bill that could provide millions of illegal immigrants a chance to become American citizens and said they'll try to pass it before Memorial Day.
[/URL]
The agreement brokered by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., and Minority Harry Reid, D-Nev., breaks a political stalemate that has lingered for weeks while immigrants and their supporters held rallies, boycotts and protests to push for action.
Key to the agreement is who will be negotiating a compromise with the House, which last December passed an enforcement-only bill that would subject the estimated 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States to felony charges as well as deportation.
Frist said the Senate will send 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats to negotiate with the House, with seven of the Republicans coming from the Judiciary Committee and seven of the Democrats chosen by Reid.
Frist said a "considerable" number of amendments would be debated when the Senate begins debating the bill early next week.
It would be the most comprehensive rewrite of immigration laws since the so-called Simpson-Mazzoli bill some 20 years ago.
Reid acknowledged on the Senate floor Thursday morning that he "didn't get everything that I wanted" in the agreement, but said Frist didn't either. Reaching the agreement is "not easy with the political atmosphere," Reid said.
Reid had been taking some criticism for refusing to move forward on the bill after complaining that Republicans were trying to undermine it with amendments and insisting that Democrats be allowed to have a say in who serves on the conference committee.
Republicans, too, have had opposition from conservatives to the compromise proposal. These critics consider its path to citizenship provision for illegal immigrants and hundreds of thousands of future guest workers to be tantamount to "amnesty."
They've also had to contend with fallout from opposition to the House bill that triggered nationwide protests that drew hundreds of thousands in Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas, and hundreds more in other cities and small communities.
Presidential and midyear politics have been a subtext to the immigration debate. Frist and Arizona Sen. John McCain ([URL="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/DailyNews/politics/news/ap/ap_on_go_co/immigration/19003417/*http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news?fr=news-storylinks&p=%22Sen.%20John%20McCain%22&c=&n=20&yn=c&c=news&cs=nw"]news (http://us.bc.yahoo.com/b?P=m2Mu586.I3oEETl1Q8LB5QD5P.66CkRjVskADpMk&T=1bhktcstd%2fX%3d1147360969%2fE%3d83018124%2fR%3d news%2fK%3d5%2fV%3d2.1%2fW%3d8%2fY%3dYAHOO%2fF%3d2 444784108%2fH%3dY2FjaGVoaW50PSJuZXdzIiBjb250ZW50PS JBbWVyaWNhbjtpdDtIb3VzZTtJdDtwb2xpdGljcztkZWJhdGU7 QnVzaW5lc3M7cmVmdXJsX3VzX2YzNjJfbWFpbF95YWhvb19jb2 0iIHJlZnVybD0icmVmdXJsX3VzX2YzNjJfbWFpbF95YWhvb19j b20iIHRvcGljcz0icmVmdXJsX3VzX2YzNjJfbWFpbF95YWhvb1 9jb20i%2fQ%3d-1%2fS%3d1%2fJ%3d5023BECE&U=13994266v%2fN%3dp7iUVc6.Irk-%2fC%3d395108.7908979.8803055.1414694%2fD%3dLREC%2 fB%3d3338499), bio (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/capadv/bio/ap/ap_on_go_co/immigration/19003417/SIG=117abbj56/*http://yahoo.capwiz.com/y/bio/?id=192), voting record (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/capadv/vote/ap/ap_on_go_co/immigration/19003417/SIG=11gvsboie/*http://yahoo.capwiz.com/y/bio/keyvotes/?id=192)), one of the architects of the legalization proposed, are speculated to be competing for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination.

President Bush (http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=President+Bush) had helped accelerate progress on the bill after meeting with a bipartisan group of senators last month and stating clearer support for allowing illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
"Business and labor, Democrats and Republicans, religious leaders and the American people strongly support our plan to strengthen borders, provide a path to earned citizenship for those undocumented workers who are here and put in place a realistic guest worker program for the future," Kennedy said.

"Business and labor, Democrats and Republicans, religious leaders and the American people strongly support our plan to strengthen borders, provide a path to earned citizenship for those undocumented workers who are here and put in place a realistic guest worker program for the future," Kennedy said.

Which service center processed your I-140 ? For Eb2 cases, USCIS ( especially NSC) doesn't accept a combination of degree and experience. They require a single 4 year degree.
You should not completely give up on this. Get a good lawyer, a good education evaluator and try to save the case.

�United States Of America� or more commonly the �US� means one and only one thing for most people in India, the land of opportunities, a place where every dream comes true, a Cinderella fantasy that pops t life. Well, Legend has it that once upon a long long time, it used to be true. But the current situation is a whole lot different than the legends and the fantasies. Let�s delve into the story of an Indian guy, who set out on a journey in pursuit of his
dreams that promised him the sky.
This guy was a smart, hard working software engineer in his own power, working for a software company in India. He worked on different kinds of projects for different clients, all of which were from the fantasy land. The clients always appreciated his work and he had a great rapport with these people.
One day, he got an invitation from one of these demigods�, �Will you please come and join us and share our fortunes? We are in much need of someone talented like you to run our operations�.
Now, that was an offer he could not refuse, could he? It�s something he had been dreaming about, since he was a child. It seemed like an offer that would change his life for the better, in every possible way.
He immediately packed his bags, bade good bye to his family and friends, not knowing the future, not knowing he would not see them for at least a few years. It did not even remotely occur to any one at that point, that he will be tangled in so many restrictions, that it would be hard for him to leave the fantasy land. Well, who cares �He is going to AMERICA!�
He landed here, worked harder than ever, slogged like anything and proved his capabilities and reserved a place for himself in this wonderful land. Five years passed by�..not realizing that every day has been the same, just struggling to keep up with the expectations of his boss. However he became a much respected person at his work place, every one who worked with him was very happy to have him here. They just loved his dedication and passion. His initial plan was to stay here for the 6 years he had on his H1-B visa and head home. But, destiny had something else in store for him. His employers wanted him to stay. They realized they would not be able to find another person of his caliber. So they started a process called Green Card which would allow him to stay in this country and work for them.
He went to India after a long time, and met his parents. They wanted him to get married; he met a nice girl of his parent�s choice. Both of them liked each other and got married.
She flew to the fantasy land with him and they live happily ever after��.
Well, not exactly!
There is a twist in this story.
We need to talk about the girl for a little while now. She too was a young, aspiring software engineer with a good company in India. She was a smart and independent girl who loved to live her life. She lived at a short distance from her parents and family with whom she was very close. When she met the guy, she was overjoyed. She instantly liked him, but was a little apprehensive about quitting her job. But everyone told her that she was being silly and that she would get a job in USA, any time she wanted, because of her VAST two year experience. She believed it! The guy also did not know that his fantasy land had changed a lot since his going there. He thought that he was going to get his green card soon and that his wife would be able to work immediately.
So with all these hopes, they flew back to US of A. Here the reality was far from anything that she ever heard in the legends. She had no friends, no family, and no job. She was not allowed to work while she was on her dependent visa called H4. The hopes of green card were thrashed to the ground. Apparently only a small number of people were given these magical passes called green cards every year. And the wait was a very very long one; reality hit hard, it would take at least five more years to get their green card and that she would have to wait for an indefinite period of time before she could work again.
She thought of keeping herself occupied by making friends but she found none in her locality.
She wanted to put her technical expertise to good use by volunteering, she got a few offers but they were all so distant from her house. She did not have a car of her own, so she could not take up such jobs.
She was left alone at home all day, destined to look at the windows and the walls of her apartment. She could not take it. She applied for her own H1-B visa which she thought would allow her to start working. She had high hopes and started concentrating on honing her skills. But the process was such a long one that it took more than 8 months for her to get the visa approval. She tried to keep her cool, but it was one heck of a struggle. There were so many laws and rules and other incomprehensible things associated with her H1 and her husband�s green card process that she could not go to India to meet her parents . The real struggle started once she got her H1 B. She could not find a project to work on. There were requirements for people in her technology, but most of the jobs required hat she be one of the following:
1. Candidate with 6 years or more experience
2. Green Card holder with any experience.
She hit a roadblock. 6 years of experience or GREENCARD????
How will she get any of this now?
Her husband had also become very sad because of the pain that she had been going through. They were never peaceful during these past 1.5 years. Even he was also completely stalled in his career. There is a rule which doesn�t allow him to change jobs or take a promotion even in the same company once his green card process has been started. He has to either wait until he gets the green card or start it all over again. It is like leaving one�s place in a long queue and having to join in at the end, all over again.
I hear they are thinking about going back to India, where their lives will be much easier.
Two highly skilled people who were disowned like foster children and put entangled in such complex problems.
Unless they do something about this green card process soon, there will be many more immigrants who would plan to move back to their own countries.
It is America�s loss, no doubt!
An organization called Immigration Voice has been started by a few people, suffering skilled immigrants themselves, to take up the cause of all the others in similar situation. It has picked up quite a lot of momentum these days and
had been able to achieve success to a certain extent. But it requires more people, more funds and more support to actually attain a significant result.
America has been built on the competitiveness of highly skilled immigrants. America enjoys a technological leadership around the world primarily because of them.
Let�s hope that the government will do something soon to provide relief to these skilled immigrants lest America should become a mere legend like Atlantis.

I don't know how to open a thread to run a poll to track the number of people ready to send flowers to white house/president to highlight our case to buy houses if there is a a provision to approve GCs on a fast-track basis. With a substantial fast track fee (>4000 dollars) and 20% down payment toward house payment, we have a strong case. If we get hundreds of people ready to send to flowers, may be IV can make it an action item.
