The case status changed from "Decision" of Denial to "Post Decision Activity" on 11/16 when they decided to reopen the case and today finally it changed to "Card/Document Production". What's your take? Will they send us another CPO email and a PDA email before the actual card is shipped. Or are we being too optimistic to think we may receive a card this Saturday? I am thinking tomorrow during the Infopass, we will ask to speak with a supervisor and request a letter of approval or a copy of form I797, if there is any such thing they can possibly give us, so my wife can take to the office she is supposed to join on Monday. Do you think USCIS will be able to do so?
Also, what date is the card valid from? The date first CPO email is issued? or is it the date of second CPO or PDA? The reason i ask, what if the office that is hiring her, is willing to accept an email as a proof of approval instead of waiting for a physical card to arrive. Your insight is appreciated.
man...i can understand the pain...easy... Saturday will be too soon. if they mail on 11/18 you may get it on saturday else 2-5 business days... many its from 1st cpo date but in your case it might be different. any ones guess is my best guess.

I think there is not much harm here because the new law says any unused numbers in the previous year will be added to the 290,000 quota next year. So, even we don't get the numbers this year due to the per country limit, next year the size of the cake will be a lot larger.
Couldn't help checking the forum as I dash around today.
Zheng, isn't the point of the whole exercise to decrease the wait? You'll wait another year, during which time even more people will have joined the queue.
If CIR is supposed to reduce backlogs and waiting times, this is not the way to do it.
I don't know about you but a year is a long time in my life. Esp after waiting for so many years already. Making me wait yet another year when there is no need for me to wait is HARM by my definition.

guys,
while i am waiting for response, i need to explore my back up options.
i need to finish my MBA before i leave this country. I was on my H-1 8th yr extension in 2005. after that i have been on EAD.
My wife is on H-1 but i think she is on extension based on 3 yr extension of my unfortunate 140.
Can I switch to F-1 status next year?
I understand you start accruing illegal time while MTR is pending and if it gets denied? So i don't want to take that risk.
I know i don't have any options, but any suggesstions...
your wife cannot be on an H1 extension based on your I-140. She can only get H1 extensions based on her own LC/I-140. Can you clarify that?
If she has her own H1, you cna change status to H4 and complete your MBA.

You make several wild sweeping assumptions here. One, the fact that we came here looking for opportunity so many years ago means that the "opportunity" will be available for a lifetime. That is blatantly false - It is like saying everyone loves to stay in a 5 star hotel; therefore everyone wants to stay FOREVER in a 5 star hotel.
Second, you must be totally ignorant of current affairs to say that returning to India is an exception, not a rule. The list of Indian american citizens who returned to India is a virtual who's who list - almost every week I read a story about some big shot Indian american returning to India to settle down there, including VCs like Vani Kola, pharmaceutical R&D big names etc. And these are in reputed publications like WSJ, NYT etc, not some mom and pop desi magazine. Why did they return ? Certainly not because of immigration reasons. I doubt for sentimental reasons either - they returned for OPPORTUNITY. Yes, the very same opportunity for which they left the mother country. Like they say, the only thing constant in this world is change - thats even more true in this globalized world. It helps to keep an open mind and be on the lookout for opportunities everywhere.
Returning or not is a personal decision based on personal circumstances and opportunity - we don't have to make sweeping generalizations to justify our decision. Just state your reasons and leave it at that.
Very first think comes to my mind is why are you guys coming to US if you feel India is better. Have you seen anyone from US going to India and taking up jobs. Again dont get me some exceptions from here and there.
1. US is lot better than India. Only thing lacking here is our culture / parents/ siblings which are invaluable.
2. World economy is dependent on US economy and it will be the case for next 100 years. So you are better off here.
3. You all guys talk these crap since you do not have GC. Imagine, there was not VISA problem here in US and everyone here gets GC in 6months easily, do you think our peers in this forum would be saying that they are ready to go back to India/home country. I DONT THINK SO.
Everyone wants to be here whether he accepts it or not. Only the frustration with getting GC makes him/her think in 100 different options. But the reality never changes. Every tom dick and harry from every nook and corner of the world wants to come to US because this is the land of oppourtunity and luxury.

And may be she interpreted his question like he was asking about his I-485 approval instead of receipt number...
all the answers she gave him align perfectly with this question "My I-485 has been filed, when will i get my approval"
SHE DID NOT , BE SHE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO POINT IN LOOKIN IN TO SYSTEM FOR PEOPLE WHO FILED 485 BASED ON EB AFTER JULY 2 IF SHE USES THESE SENTENCES ... I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

what is Motion to cloture ?
cloture - The only procedure by which the Senate can vote to place a time limit on consideration of a bill or other matter, and thereby overcome a filibuster. Under the cloture rule (Rule XXII), the Senate may limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours, but only by vote of three-fifths of the full Senate, normally 60 votes.

Call 5 congressman - And i guess almost all are in suport.
Also i would like to say that the heading in BOLD RED on immigrationVoice home page - helped to take action -- since there are so many things that are going on.
So appreciate it -- if we can highlight the important stuff in BOLD RED ,that needs to be focussed on -- it would get attention of more people

after all that ensued....most likely they will not back out on their July 17th statement that they will honor Orig July VB.
Now talking to just one lady and asking her 12 times means nothing.....
Most of th eCSR do not have the knowledge or do not care and will given u random answers...if u call second time another CSR would give u s different explanation altogether...so unless we see appplications being rejected we have no grounds to believe USCIS is backing away from its Promise....and nether can we do anything about it untill we see mass rejections for application filed on or before Aug 17th
They can reject and send the applications back if they want to

The following link describes process for FBAR2008 only.
September 23 Deadline for Some FBAR Filers (http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=210174,00.html)
In addition to the “if we need to send the old FBAR's” question. I have following addtional questions
1. for old "FBARS" : Send FBAR forms only -or- send FBAR+taxreturn
2. for old "FBARS" : Send it to "Detroit, MI 48232-0621" only -or- send addtional copy to "Philadelphia, PA 19154".
Even CPA's are not giving clear answers. Experts please advice
I have an overseas account opened few years back. I became aware of this 'fbar' rule only this year. I sent one for 2008 in month of march 08.
I am not sure if this is correct procedure but could not find any other information.
Also, approached CPA who had no clue. I haven't hear back from anyone since I mailed the form. You can file amended fbar but no where I could find information what to do if you missed previously for any reason. If you come to know about this, do share with all of us in the same boat.
How does delinquent FBAR for multiple years work ?
- send multiple forms for each year
or
- send in the latest (FY2008).
Can some one advice ?

So, that means USCIS knows that I-485 EB applicants can just use EAD card for employment pending their AOS. Hope that relieves the community of the Neufeld memo.
The Neufeld memo definition of non-immigrant status is not H-1 or L-1. Since, this is a dual status memo.
If people remember, in Aug-Sept. 07 when folks applied for AOS and AP, the law said that they could not travel pending their receipt of their AP (since receipting was delayed those days); but anyone who had H-1 or L-1 could travel. So, non-immigrant does not apply to H-1 or L-1 visas.
Excellent point. Perhaps, the example in page 10 means non-immigrants such as B/F visa holders who don't qualify for dual-intent status and not H1/L1 holders.
