ok, there is a lot of prediction that the dates will move from C to U in the very near future. What does it mean for people who currently have I-1485 applications pending? Does it mean they have to wait until the dates move from U to whatever their PD is? if it moves to U in Aug, I think it will be in Oct when it will move again to sometime 2003 (given the large # they are about to receive).
Any ideas about this?

For those naysayers about lack of trust regarding where the money is going and what the details are, you can go to www.senate.gov and look for lobbying firms registration and their payment details. This is public information.

you can send separately. On other forums I read that somebody receiving emails... but it emails doesn't arrive in 24hrs.... as the form mentions...
I guess you can just wait for checks to cash and then get RN from back of it.....
The instructions listed says that G1145 is for one of the three lockbox facilities and Dallas is not listed as one of them. However there is one for Lewisville, TX.
Did anyone actually get a email/text message from Dallas lockbox (or for that matter any other lockbox)?

I am currently on H1B visa. My understanding is that as long as my H1B is thru my employer it is perfectly legal to start/buy/partner in a company .... as long as I do not withdraw a pay check from that company. Furthermore, as long as I am maintaining my legal status thru my American employer, it would be legitimate to sponsor an H1 for my wife, hire her in the company I own. If some one could clarify ..... is my understanding flawed ? Please provide examples/experiences. Any relevant input would be great.
Another related question was if I change my status after starting my company to F1 .... would that be fine ? Or after I change my status to F-1, would it be fine to start my own firm/company/partnership/practice (PA/LLC/PLLC) and then transfer my wife's H-1 B in this newly created entity. FYI .... This new entity would be perfectly legitimate PA/LLC/PLLC with solid revenues/earnings/5-10 american employees .... and my wife would be fully qualified to work in this entity as a highly compensated employee providing US govt with a lot of taxes .... all done by my savings AND/OR bank loans.
On another note, if I change my status to H4(dependent on my wife's H1) instead of F1, would the same hold good. My wife's full time H1 B would be thru an american employer. My PA/LLC/PLLC just sponser her part time H1 (2nd H1) .... you guessed it .... to start her permanent residency process. FYI .... Both of us are waiting for priority dates to get current to file I-485 .... both of us have I-140 approved from our respective employers as of now. This is an attempt to get out of their yoke and gain freedom as much as possible in these trying circumstances.
Gurus, your expert opinion would be invaluable. Please comment.
As per my understanding you cannot own a company while on H1.

Guys, here the form to file a complaint on L1A - EB1 misuse by indian IT companies
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh-4.pdf
Here's the process..http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/fts_wh4.htm
If you have a genuine case and know the company name who resort to these shady practices, Please fill this form and send it across to DOL. You do not need to provide your personal information if you are not willing to. Rest, they will investigate and take care..
I am one of those who couldn't file in EB1 but that is past and long gone for me.
Enough is enough. I am ready to sign this.
I have 3 real names. All were working for Cognizant. One had 3 years of exp. Cooked up with 4 years of B.Tech and totalled it as 7 years. Came on L1 as PM and applied in EB1. He got GC in less than 1 year. Other 2 had real 7 years exp and got GC's in 8 months. All were working at Client's place and NOT intra company transfers.
I am not selfish. But I am sure this guy with 3 years exp may one day become a boss for any of us.
This misuse will hurt the genuine cases. Shall we we go serious and complaint? I am ready to sign and submit all the proof.

I agree with you but give them(EB3 people) hope that next year we will re capture unused visas either through CIR or piecemeal amendment.
With re-capture EB2 will be current and all the spillover/accross/up/down will go to EB3
and next year sept Eb3 will move 3-4 years.
I do not know much but IV core might be in a good position to answer about how we can
get our provisions piecemeal.
Unless if the law changes so that all these years of wait count towards citizenship, I sincerely think the wait is useless and its totally unfair.

Assume MMs(Market Makers) know everyone of you, your positions and every of your trades, in real time.
It it their advantages to have this data. And it is so easy nowadays to have a simple program analyzing these data in real time to profile trades in terms of who they are (inst/retailer, between themselves or not), block size distribution, duration of trades (how long the buy/sell mode last), etc.
Most of daytraders do not have these information. That's why most of the daytraders lose money in trading

I am not a kid. I know these things. Read properly what he said.
"It is possible that the filings could be discontinued later in July"
I just wanted to share this information with you all guys. I am not gaining anything by putting this in this forum. If you feel like taking it, take it else ignore it. There is no harm in sharing.
All Sh!# in this world is possible. Heck, if I say it is possible the world could end tomorrow..................even that is possible if not probable.
Why not focus on the realities and likelihoods rather than fearmongering done by special interests, who send you information with secondary gain.
Your defense of "I'm just putting it out there for you all to decide" sounds like the crappiest lame excuse for misinformation that I have heard in an eternity.
Spare us will you!

All,
I filed the online application for EAD renewal on May 3rd and required documents were sent to Phoenix drop box on May 6th. I paid the fees using a credit card. The EAD application was returned on May 15th. Reason a signature is not contained in the signature box of the application or petition. A signature in the "Signature of person preparing form, if other than above" block is not a valid signature for this purpose. Please sign and resubmit the application with the appropriate fees. How do you sign a online application? Did I do something wrong here? The EAD application which I received back from USICS is the applicant copy. Should I sign on the applicant copy or reprint a new completed EAD form. For the fees should I just submit the previous document showing fees paid through credit card.
Any response will be appreciated.

I am also struggling to get my GC. It is my 9th year in H1B visa. My intention is, atleast we can reduce the period for waiting to get the citizenship. It can also be considered as a good benefit for our community. Just my thoughts...

probably that explains why I did not get any email yesterday and the status today changed as approved on 9/2.
Guys keep an eye on your online account and dont just wait for the email.
I had an Infopass appointment this morning with a very helpful and informative IO, and he confirmed that my dependants' cases were also approved on 09/01. Looks like TSC email system doesn't work properly as there were no emails for my dependants. I belive that some of you folks may have already been approved with no status change and CPO emails. Good luck again for all you who are current and have been waiting for approvals.
Regards.

QUOTE=shantak]Here is what my attorney has sent regarding the AILA release, i dont know whether to believe him or other attorneys, i think i have no choice but to go with what my attorney says.He has been really good in these kinds ofnotices for the past 3 plus years, hope he is correct even with this.
1)There is no way that USCIS would get away with shutting down filing of EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 Adjustment filings without a massive class action lawsuit against the agency;
2)The power to determine the availability or non-availability of permanent residence visa numbers rests solely with the Department of State. USCIS rejected the �Other Worker� Adjustments based upon a notice from the Department of State that there were no longer any visa numbers for the category. I recently attended our annual AILA immigration conference and there were members in attendance who had interviewed the Department of State official who sets the priority dates. The understanding was unequivocal that the Department of State office felt the numbers would remain available throughout July, and perhaps, as late as September;
3)At this time, there are 40,000 immigrant visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal year. This means that in order for the Department of State to issue any kind of notice to USCIS, 40,000 permanent residence petitions would have to be APPROVED prior to the end of July. I am highlighting the word approved, because I need for all of my clients to understand that between June and July, there will a lot more than 40,000 Adjustments filed. However, what determines an immigrant visa number usage is the approval of a permanent residence.
Now let�s go back to simple math: there are 140,000 immigrant visas available per fiscal year. 40,000 visa numbers are available at this time. The fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th. That means that in the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the Department of State and USCIS have managed to approve 100,000, which turns out to be 11,111 petitions per month. There is no possible way that USCIS and the Department of State are going to approve almost 4 times the number of permanent residencies in the month of July. The agencies do not have the time, nor do they have the manpower to approve 40,000 petitions within the next 30 days or so. That is the very reason why the Department of State official solely responsible for the priority dates felt pretty good about the availability of visa numbers throughout the month of July when he spoke to my colleagues from AILA.
To be honest with all of you, I was really disappointed in the message from AILA. In the rush to �inform,� they forgot to pause, analyze and really discuss the true possibility that USCIS would be directed by the Department of State to halt receipt of Adjustment of Status petitions. I want my clients to know this: at this point, I am not worried that the visa numbers will not be available throughout July. If I were worried, I would let you know. My responsibility is to guide you through this process and if there is any genuine worry on my part, I will let you know IMMEDIATELY.[/QUOTE]

That's not correct. There is big difference between h1B annd GC and it is not for 10 years. it is for ever unless you don't fulfill some conditions.
GC is given for a period of 10 years and not for ever.
