This is what you can do - Both in Mumbai and in Delhi, you have USCIS approved doctors who help people going through CP. In other words those who choose to go through emp based CP or family based Green Card which US embassy issues, go through Indian hospitals in Mumbai and Delhi. I think Gangaram in Mumbai has this facility. Ask your wife to get it done from there. Do not wait till the last moment, as someone pointed out, a slight delay in flight could............
Are you sure about this ? My understanding is, they don't recognize those doctors here and I remember seeing such note some where in the consulate website.

Seems like everyone losing hope including core - as someone else said above its really sad to see this. Please dont lose hope at this critical moment else all of our efforts for last two years will go waste.
I cant imagine how much time/effort has been put into this effort by core members (as a relatively inactive member I myself could have easily spent several hundred hours on these forums in last year and half; and atleast some time in calling/faxing etc.). After all these efforts and seeing the current bill its understandable to get deeply disappointed. But dont lose hope yet. Its not over.
Logiclife - coming this from you really shook me. At one point you were so confident that having our measures in any future CIR is but gauranteed - we thought its just a matter of time. All of us were also thinking that we are in a better position to introduce and enact amendments in this congress. We still have time (2 weeks) for amendments - why are we thinking about alternate arrangements and slowly losing hope. Does this show our level of confidence now or this thread is meant for some light hearted fun?

My attorney, who I deal with directly (he is part of big immigration law firm), had sent my some papers ages ago that the firm represents both myself and my employer.
Could be that there are bar association rules for this, or maybe just this firm's policy. If it is wider than this firm, then you might be able to refer the attorney to the bar association. It would I guess depend on how much he knew, and whether he knew that you were under the impression that he would be applying for I485.
You probably have a civil or criminal fraud case against employer, and if the attorney knew that you believed that employer was applying for I485 and in anyway facilitated this, even by willfully not returning a call until it was too late, he might be guilty/liable due to conspiracy. Conspiracy without a paper trail or witness is hard to prove. However it depends who has to pursue it. In any case would the attorney want a formal complaint against him on the record with the bar association.
Find out if same employer & attorney did same to anyone else.
If you pursue by yourself it will likely be costly. If you represent yourself less so, but hard work (google for "Pro Se" -- Latin for For Self, "Pro Bono" -- Latin for For the Good).
If DoL or consumer affairs, bar association, or district attorney pursue, much less effort and cost, but less control for you.
You must be with someone else and own attorney before you do anything.

the quaterly spillover.. is that just speculation.. or has USCIS confirmed it?
I dont see any news release saying that there will be X number or quaterly spillovers...
Can IV get some kind of inputs..on how sure are these quaterly spillover rumours??
Just my 2 cents, but I think the quarterly spillover might not happen (Hope I am wrong) for various reasons...
1. If they do quarterly spillovers allocating the left over EB1 to other categories, then it is theoretically possible in the last quarter that, if there is a surge in EB1 applications, CIS might be left with not enough visa numbers for EB1 , and subsequently EB1 might not reach the 28% (or whatever this number) of total employment GCs. This situation will further compound the problem for CIS...Given the situation, this might not be practical, but theoretically possible...So CIS might be thinking, "why have the headache to deal every quarter when the numbers will be clear in the last quarter"
2. Since the spillover also includes Family based to EB, this even more complicates the above issue.
3. Well, administratively it is easy for CIS to issue the spillover visas once at the end of the year, rather than do 4 times a year at the end of each quarter. I guess less work with the same result...

I know we had lot of discussions about Notice date and reciept date.I was planning to invoking AC-21 after 180 days.My application reached USCIS on Jul 18th.I assume this is when the 180 days count down starts.My notice date is Sept 18th.(Checks cashed).My online status for my 485 is as follows
"On September 18, 2007, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case.Blah blah"
When they recieved, do they mean it is the reciept date.My 180 days ends on Jan 18th 2008.
I am confused now.Does the 180 count down start from Jul 18th or Sept 18th ? I always thought it started from the date of reciept(The date it was recieved in thier mailroom).Can someone confirm ?

What if we used so much of our time and energy in finding jobs in India/China and moving back, instead of going after media/govt? :confused:
Some of us have spent $35-40 on sending flowers, if we gave a internet job board that kind of money to send our resumes to prospective employers and headhunters in India, we may have a chance in finding a job in the emerging economy of India/China.. that will be THE biggest impact on US Govt... To add to my opinion, I would like to direct your attention to Microsoft... They didn't waste their resources on fighting the media, govt.. they just moved to Canada.. And believe me, there will be more such instances...

As a follow up, got a faxed copy of the "Receipt Notice" for self and spouse from lawyer for I-485. The Receipt Notice's receipt date is as expected Jul 23rd.
So as members correctly stated that Receipt Notice's date is what matters.

Dear friends, why do you seek to start bashing your country at the first opportunity you get. THere are people in the Indian Govt who are negotiating on your behalf to make sur you get your money back.
THen on the question of paying bribes to get money out of PPF - something is better than nothing. Why complain. If it is so bad, go back and fight to fix the system, otherwise stop maoning. India is the only country that will welcome you if you are kicked out of here. I remember i used to pay 50 INR per ticket for a railway seat, now i go online and book a ticket. Things change they take time and patience.
Only those people who have NEVER bribed anyone to get stuff done illegally, or out of turn should speak. And i know there is no one, since you are in US and came on a passport and we all know how passports are obtained.
You left india, want to stay away, so leave it alone. When you are kicked out of everywhere, the doors will still be open, just keep some cash for the gatekeeper.
Lets discuss whether this swap will be possible or not, or what the loopholes are.
thanks

Do you watch cricket? If you want quick results you might want to watch 20-20 cricket. You can see the results within a few hours.
Things like legislative changes take time. We may think that the debate on illegal immigration has nothing to do with our issues but the corrupt Senators will always try to sneak in some reform related to illegal immigrants into our bills in exchange for their votes, ultimately derailing the entire bill.
We sincerely need to work with the law makers--the guys in the immigation committees, in particular. Please, desist using 'corrupt' senators. Debates in democracy are always healthy. We must emphasise our points, gather support from aila our employers and beneficiaries and respect a system.

Mallu, I think the opposite would be the case.
Right now the PD is kept at an artificially low range, since neither the USCIS nor the DOS has a clue about how many GCs they are processing. So for the last several years, they were ultimately issuing only around 80,000 GCs even though the quota is 140,000 + 80,000 (from family quota). A wastage of around 140,000 visas per year.
If USCIS can approve a GC after waiting for 120 days (with our with out a response from the FBI), then the GC approval would become much more predictable. Then the PD cut off will be much more realistic, resulting in a much lower wastage of visa numbers.
The end result, the PD would move upward quickly.
If this turns out true, that will be great !!!
One minor side effect is that India EB dates might further retrogress because still there a lot of folks with PD 2001,2002 etc pending namecheck clearance.

What was 245(i) amnesty?...just curious
Section 245(i) is a part of the INA. In 2001, this section was updated to allow people present illegally to submit a labor certification. This resulted in the DOL getting 6 years worth of applications in April 2001. These applications led to the establishment of the Backlog Elimination Centers and the PERM process. The applications filed 6 years ago are still being processed by the DOL.
Btw if you do not support DREAM ACT than you shouldn't be on this forum...
At this point I am neutral on the DREAM act. Before I can support the DREAM act you need to prove how it helps children of legal immigrants. I suspect there is more to your story than you are letting on. If you are 21 now, you would have been 19 in 2005 and well able to understand the consequences of becoming an illegal immigrant. As someone said the F1 was an option if you wanted to maintain legal status.

My wife had to go to Canada to get her H1B revalidated before she travelled to India. At that time, we could get an appointment in Chennai consulate only after two months, but she had to travel sooner than that. We had to spend around $1500 for airfare/lodging and other expenses to just to get the stamping.
Also, the lost wages for 3 days.
If this process is really beneficial to USA in terms of security etc, we certainly have to do this, but I don�t see why the same procedure can be done inside USA instead of travelling to a foreign country.
