For most Desis, immigration attorney is GOD. And the words coming out of the mouth of Immigration Attorney is the ULTIMATE TRUTH. We as desi community is happy to hero worship someone who kicks us everyday by conspiring to delay our green card application, not pick-up/return our phone calls/emails. That's how we as desis love, to be treated as trash. That's why we worship immigration lawyers as GODs.
In my opinion most immigration lawyers are part of Employer-Lawyer nexus to exploit employees. Most lawyers are in the business of finding loop holes to make more money for the employer (NOT EMPLOYEE).

If there is already a google group, I suggest lets start adding information there ASAP.
Those who are interested please join http://groups.google.com/group/iv-conf-call-volunteers
This is a common group for USCIS calls and we'll create a new one if needed for just media

At this point, I'm not interested in learning XML or XSLT, my point was that you really don't <i>need</i> all of those things, escpecially when you are first starting out. There are plenty of people who would be happy to hire someone and keep paying them to update. And PHP would work just as well as a content management system (with mySQL of course)
yep, but that is not XML is about, but a mySQL would work too, but is it a need to learn mySQL (I need to upgrade my local host)

We need an authentic interface to contributions by all members. This should require member login.
This is so pathetic you wrote. Why would one lie, and what benefit would you get by knowing that someone has contributer such and such? I am sorry, but I do not get your reasoning...
Also, that would require the IV members to develop a whole app or something like that to track the members' contributions.
I think people (at least some of them) are serious enough to write the truth; at least about their contributions......
And the fact that , "it would require member login", does not help here as anyone can register and become a member within 1 minute.....

This is the sort of thing that should make folks wake up and smell the coffee. Advocate for yourself or lose the dream. Those of you hoping to wait it out, whether it be 5 yrs or 10 yrs, let this be the warning shot. When times get tough, you see all sorts of crazy things crop up, whether intended by the gov't or through vigilante enforcement like in this case.
What makes EAD holders immune to these sorts of things? Nothing is certain in this environment.
Physicians recently faced a scare(last year) when the USCIS TSC unilaterally started deeming MBBS degrees undergraduate baccalaureate degrees and declining EB2 petitions for them in spite of nearly half a century of precedent to the contrary. This in spite of the ECFMG, ACGME, State Medical boards(vested with the task of determining qualification to practice) etc all recognizing such foreign degrees for Medical/Surgical Residency training and subsequent practice.
It was only after months of lobbying and various letters of support from medical organisations, and meetings with the USCIS by some prominent lawyers like Greg, that they relented.
If that can happen out of the blue to International physicians typically working in underserved areas. Then those of you who feel an EAD card makes you immune are living in a fantasy. Take a stand, organize better and advocate for yourself. There will likely be a narrow window later this year for us, there must be a better effort.
BTW. It took a friend of mine 7 months recently to get his EAD card. No explanation, no nothing. He did not push the issue because he was on a H1b visa, however those are the sort of things that can happen.

I have an appointment set up with a doctor. However, the doctor is not listed as a USCIS authorized physician in the USCIS web site.
I called the doctor's office and they assure me that he does "immigration physicals" and has been doing them.( As a side note, there is another doctor in the same office who is on the approved list but he is on vacation)
Is the following website updated with list of eligible civil surgeons ? https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV
Please advise.
Goto Rajiv Ahuja at Fremont or Hayward if you are located in Bay area.
No appointment necessary.

I have been constantly trying to get the message out here that it is imperative that we do not condone illegal or unlawful activities including covering up out-of-status cases. I have received so many REDs for doing it. Go look at the other two posts I have replied to. Some people who don't like the fact that I advise people to leave the country. They are the ones that give me reds!
I saw this on an anti immigrant site by a M*****r.
Hope some of you will learn a lesson from it and stop posting threads about Telgus, Eb3 vs Eb2.
I have also seen posts by ignorant educated illiterates on IV where they advice people to do illegal things. Some of you own consulting firms or businesses and try to promote it by posting and sending Private messages. If we see such message, let us give reds and report to IV. We also need to discourage people from answering wrong info to posts where someone is illegal/out of status. All this used against us.

Got the status update email from USCIS stating a card has been issued for my 485 application.
I am not married yet. What are the implications if I get married to a citizen of india residing in India.
Kindly refer me to appropriate material if you know of any.
Thanks,

All,
anyone knows about this visa, is this family sponsorship GC ?
Family Second Preference (F2): Spouses, minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters (over age 20) of lawful permanent residents. (114,200) At least seventy-seven percent of all visas available for this category will go to the spouses and children; the remainder will be allocated to unmarried sons and daughters.
PETITION
Relatives of intending immigrants who plan to base their immigrant visa applications on family relationship must obtain Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). The petitioning U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident must submit Form I-130 to the USCIS office. Forms and instructions are available from USCIS. Once USCIS approves the petition, they will send the petitioner a notice of approval, Form I-797. USCIS will also forward the approved petition to the Immigrant Visa Processing Center, which will contact the intending immigrant with further information.

I came back via Frankfurt last month. AP no prob. But be aware of Lufthansa. It was worst trip of my life. Bugger airline had cancelled flight from FRA to Mumbai without notifying. They gave me two options after I landed at FRA. 1. Wait at airport for 27 HOURS for next days flight (as they don't give Indians visa @ airport for hotel stay) or 2. Wait for another 6 hours at airport, then take flight from FRA to zurich, wait at zurich for 3 hrs, then zurich to Dubai, wait at dubai for 3 hrs and then dubai to Mumbai. Unwillingly I had to accept 2nd option.
Staff is damn rude, had to wait in long line for 3 hours to talk to cust service.
Never in my life will I travel with Lufthansa :mad: :mad: :mad:
That's terrible and it could happen to anybody and I can imagine how helpless we feel at that time. I have utter contempt for those airlines. Please send emails to as many as possible to the airline and highlight your plight. Whether they hear it or not, they should know at least how you were mistreated.

I have changed jobs after 180 days of filing my AOS, although it's in the same of similar classification and my attorney from the new company informed me that time that USCIS is generally very liberal with the "same or similar" classification, as long as the job duties don't change totally.
1) Do I have to ask Company B to apply for anything relating to my GC? I want to make sure that they know and agree to all costs associated with the paperwork? Dont want to end up paying from my pocket as I have heard in a few cases before
-- They may want to file an AC-21 letter ( stating that they have permanently employed you for this position for this salary yada yada yada ... ) and definitely a G28 to change representation on your cases in case of any RFE and other communication by USCIS.
2) I believe since my I-140 is approved for more than 180 days or actually my I-485 being filed for more than 180 days, I am allowed to move, correct?
-- Yes, albeit to a "same or similar" job.
3) Since my I-140 is approved and I have an EAD, can USCIS/Company A cause it to be revoked? OR it doesn't apply to my case?
-- USCIS has no business revoking your I-140, it's your previous employer's property which they may revoke at any time ( due to various issues, not necessarily to get back at you )
4) Do I need to ask Company A to maintain anything? Or just keeping good relations with them is enough :)
-- Keeping a good relation never hurts, but company A doesn't have to maintain anything for you. Good luck in your search !

That's why I was saying that if he did work for more than 180 days for the employer, his GC is safe. If not, it can be rescinded if the employer appeal to the I-140 denial of the labor sub. and tries to prove that the original beneficiary is a "fraud".
It can happen to anyone. So to be on the safe side, work for the original petitioner for more than 180 days. If the petitioner is a GC factory, then both beneficiaries will suffer.
Yeah, it's good to know that AC21 works and that one labor is not used to produce many GCs.

This is encouraging. chandu, I read somewhere (mostly on murhty) that CIS will be publishing new AC21 soon and it is expected to be more stricter. Is this just the speculation or any other indications are received?? any idea? I am afraid that what will happen to people who already have used AC21 by following what currently exists???????
Please post any link where it says it is stricter or any new stuff USCIS wants to implement
