I send my Employment based I-485/I-765/I-131 application on June 29th 2007 and received at NSC on July 2nd 2007 (USPS Express mail tracking no. XXXX). It�s more than 100 days and I didn�t even received the Receipt Number for all the applications.
I have following question for CIS Ombudsman�s office:
1) Per US Law, I have to get the EAD in 90 days of filling of my application? How I can get the EAD in 90 days where I didn�t even get the Receipt Number after 100 days?
2) Why �First In First Out (FIFO)� process is not followed by USCIS for receipting? It�s unfair to applicant like me when application filed on August 17th 2007 enjoying the EAD card and able to work.
3) What action you can will take to force USCIS follow their own operational manual guidelines and follow FIFO in future?

Nothing is void, unless the application(i485) is denied. If we compare Oct 2010 inventory with Jan 2011 inventory we see changes in monthly pending cases before 01/01/2006.
DOS look for approvable cases in a particular month, as opposed to USCIS look at overall pending cases.:)
The bottom line is how one is interpreting the data/information available? We really don't know how DOS is interpreting USCIS pending inventory when publishing their demand data.
I strongly doubt your argument. For the past six months , Demand data before Jan1st,2006 stayed zero for EB2 I/C. If USCIS thinks one of those pre 2006 cases are approvable then we would see this reflect in DOS demand data.
At the end of the day, whatever data that is listed in Demand data is all that matters. Since it is the only determining factor for setting VB dates and nothing else

Yes..OCT bullettin holds the key to EB-3..if its bacck logged..then EB-3 call SOS and port to EB-2..none else will work
I have read it in Ron Gotcher's forum that what Sept bulletin talked about was only for Mexico and people should not mix it with EB-3 India. Also Apr'2001 was the PD given to the asylum(245i) cases by the Clinton administration. But with dates moving to Nov'2001 I believe that hump have gone past. My personal belief is EB-3 India should go around Jun-2002. But In case it remains in 2001, EB-3 Indians should take some drastic decisions. You may call me pessimist but I don't see any help coming from the congress, rather there could be some weird irrational decisions which could leave us paralysed. There are more foes than friends in the congress and lawmakers do what there pupil tells them to do. Right now the under current in US is anti immigrant..

USCIS has decided that the flowers sent by skilled, legal immigrants to director Dr. Emilio Gonzalez will be forwarded to injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
We welcome the fact that Dr. Gonzalez acknowledged the symbolic gesture of our protest. We are even more happy that these flowers will brighten the day of our injured service brethren. It is their contribution to the American freedom that has made this country such a desirable destination for highly skilled professionals from all over the world.
We also want to convey to the service personnel receiving those flowers that our message accompanying those flowers is, "Thank You and God Bless You".
---------------------------------
Excellent! :)

My case is at the local USCIS service center. I opened an SR on Aug 12 and got an email response encouraging me to apply for an Infopass appointment: "We have determined that your case would have a better result if you make an appointment to visit your local office, so you may speak with an Immigration Services Officer about your case."
I now have an Infopass booked. Let's see what happens. My case is pre-adjudicated since we had an interview two years ago.
Should it go any further this way, can anyone please explain the process of Ombudsman / Congressman / Senator et al?
Thanks in advance.
:confused:
hello, my case is exactly same. lying in uscis san francisco office. interviewd 2 years back.
still waiting. i took an infopass at the local office but no use. the IO told me wait for 60 days and you would hear something.

are they talking about calling from US to any India #? this sounds ridiculous.
What's ridiculous about it? Their website say's that you can call any number in India ( land line or cellular ) for free and unlimited time. It clearly says - * Calls to cellular phones included.

I read on the murthy.com website that the UCSIS needs to go through the Kentucky Consular Center to obtain the PIMS verification. The number for the KCC is 606-526-7500. I am going to try and call them to see if they can give me any information on timelines.
For those people that have not left the US yet, it might be worth it to talk to your lawyers and see if there is any way you can have your names added to this database before you travel - that should eliminate any hassles once you leave the country. Much easier to try and do it from there rather than from here.
There is no number to call here to check on status - I have been sending emails to mumbaiNIV@state.gov but have not received any response from them yet. Not really a surprise. If anyone tries the number above and gets some response please let the rest of us know.
Just curious if public can call this consular center?

Am using vonage for lnadline for long as well used their European calling service in past - voice quality is very good - and now to India as well (to land line and cell) - quality is very good ....
Does it work well with Home security systems Like BRINKS? How good is the call quality if you have DSL at home. I have DSL with 1.5 MBPS download. Thus the voice garbles when you are actively downloading on Internet.

IV leaders and IV Texas State Chapter can still count on my voluntary involvement. I love walking through the walkways of the Congress House and the Senate, especially the tram that connects the House and the Senate via the tunnel. ;)

Punjabi77,
Here is a list of things you can do to protect and improve you cash cushion (and may be avoid foreclosure)
1. If you drive one of those luxury cars that cost upwards of 25K and have paid it off. Get rid of it now. These cars depreciate more in dollar terms compared to cheaper cars. Buy a less expensive, no frill used car for 9-10K, put the difference in bank. That might bring in 10K of much needed cash. Even if you have not paid it off look for deals to sell and reduce your monthly payments.
2. Open an account at quicken online (http://quicken.intuit.com/online-banking-finances.jsp) it is free. Connect your banks and monitor ALL your expenses carefully. Find out what portion of spending is discretionary and cut down on it.
3. Hunt coupons, shop at Costco/Walmart (even if you hate the shopping experience). Avoid brand names and stick to Kirkland/Great Value. This might save you in monthly expenses.
4. Also, you can add cash by working part-time. I am not talking about those hard to come software moonlighting jobs. Any job that pays 10-12 an hour will add 12 x 4hr x 5days x 4 Weeks = $960 per month.
5. If you live in a duplex with a bathroom/bedroom downstairs, you can rent it to someone from local college/university. Underbid by quoting super low rent on craigslist and you can get $400-500 per month.
6. Use online services like LegalZoom (or Prepaid legal from work) to prepare contracts for rentals etc.
7. Cut down on travel/eating out and anything that you can live without. A little cash could go a long way.
Also, when it is hard to stay put and make payments, always remember there is a silver lining in owning a house too. If there is a hyper inflation (which is very likely) rents will sky rocket and salary might go up to keep pace with it, but your home mortgage frozen in time for next 20-30 years will remain unchanged and you could potentially have lower monthly expenses compared to renters. That's a bright side of staying put.
Hope things workout for you. Good Luck.

I still think, the USA is the best place for democracy loving people. Govt and its agencies try their best to be accountable to law. Now if you want our Immigration issue to be put before IRAQ in the Congress, I would think that is selfishness. I have colleagues whose sons are in IRAQ. For me their lives are more important than my GC. Now that does not mean we stop making our point to Congress.
PRECISELY My point. First it is IRAQ, then it will be the Presidential Elections then something else. The Government has NO time to question the USCIS and NO real motivation either.

Again dumb idiot check your comprehension skills. You are making an assumption I am on L1.
And before you invoke my family members, check what yours have taught you. Did I ever mention your mother eventhough I could? What did your mother teach you, too call others hijras? :)) sounds very cultured family.
No. My mom taught me how to mess with morons like you so they sulk like a little girl and respond to my pushing their buttons with a deluge of posts on this forum :D

Hi,
I have an approved I-140 (EB2 PD Jun-06) for a 'software engineering' related position. I recently moved to a 'product marketing' role within my company and was told that we would need to refile my PERM since this move constitutes a material change. Is this true?
1). Will I be able to retain my original PD of Jun-06 if we were to file for a 'marketing position'? Or would this be only possible if I needed to refile for a 'software engineering' or similar role?
2). Is there any way I can benefit from EB2 becoming current in July given that I have an approved engineering I-140 despite the fact that I have moved to marketing? (By the time I refile a new marketing PERM, I suspect retrogression will be back in effect)
3). My H1B was recently extended by 3 years (I complete 6 years in a few days) based on my 'engineering' approved I-140. They also filed an adjustment of my job duties to reflect my marketing role. I will visit Calgary, Canada next week (June) to renew my H1B stamp. Any chance that I might have problems during my interview since my 'engineering' I-140 is really not any more use since I moved to marketing? I'm just concerned that there might be problems since the 3 year extension is approved based on an 'engineering' I-140 and now I am no longer in an engineering role? Am I being paranoid :)
Thanks!
