Defendants assert that the background check is a complex
process that must accommodate an extremely large volume of requests
from the USCIS. Given the backlog of name-check requests and the
FBI�s limited resources, they maintain that the delay of two and a
half years in processing Mr. Liang�s background check is not
unreasonable. There is some validity to these points, and the
Court appreciates that the name-check process is indeed complex and
resource-intensive. But limited resources or not, a common-sense
rule of reason dictates that if the FBI was performing background
checks with due diligence, it would not take two and a half years
to process Mr. Liang�s name. While the Court is sympathetic to the
demands placed on the FBI and the limited ability of the USCIS to
control how the FBI allocates its resources, a lack of sufficient
resources devoted to name-check operations is a matter for the
agencies to take up between themselves or with Congress. The
executive branch must decide for itself how best to meet its
statutory duties; this Court can only decide whether or not those
duties have been met.
See Dong, 2007 WL 2601107 at *11 (�[I]t is
not the place of the judicial branch to weigh a plaintiff�s clear
right to administrative action against the agency�s burdens in
complying.�).
Moreover, although there is no Congressionally mandated
timetable for the processing of I-485 applications, Congress has by
statute expressed its view of what a reasonable amount of time is:
�It is the sense of Congress that the processing of an immigration benefit application should be completed not later than 180 days
after the initial filing of the application.� 8 U.S.C. � 1571.
The Court recognizes that this statute was enacted prior to the
events of September 11, 2001, and that the burdens on agencies with
responsibility for immigration matters have since increased.
Nonetheless, Plaintiffs� applications have been pending for five
times the length of the period identified by Congress.
Defendants argue that expediting Mr. Liang�s name check will
prejudice other applicants who have been waiting longer than he -in some cases, since as long as December, 2002.
While this would
be unfortunate, Defendants� failure to fulfill their statutory duty
to other applicants has no bearing on whether they have fulfilled
their statutory duty to Plaintiffs, and thus cannot serve as a
basis for denying Plaintiffs� motion.
While Defendants worry that
granting Plaintiffs relief may reward �the more litigious
applicants� or encourage other applicants to file lawsuits,
�perhaps recognizing this possibility will provide the defendants
with adequate incentive to begin processing [I-485] applications in
a lawful and timely fashion in order to obviate the applicants�
need to resort to the courts for redress.� Dong, 2007 WL 2601107

I understand your point of view, I used to work in solar energy. When i completed my post graduation most of the jobs required a USC (this was 10 yrs ago). I had to switch to software related jobs.
For me the number one priority is how Obama will handle the Skilled immigration issues. will he guided by Sen Dick Durbin, who at the moment seems to be his policy wonk. That will be a disaster for us. They have no intension of supporting skilled immigrants. We will will have to make some serious decisions if he is elected.

BTW guys,
Thanks for those who think the idea has merit.
i suddenly see a red dot against my username for trying to think out of the box:
"please dont be foolish and waste everyones time with ur insane proposal? thanks"
It is OK - whoever wanted to go this length. FYI, 'have been a member of IV and a donor since inception. Is anyone from the core who thinks this idea is insane?
Like-minded folks - let us work on it
How about having a list of action items and getting an opinion from the IV core on them?
Who is thinking your idea is bad or your intentions.. dont worry about these reds. I got 7 recently, but people who see your point will give u a green and that will go off.. Dont spoil your mind.. and give us more ideas.. how do I give you a green.. can someone show me..
I think I just figured out and gave u a green..

I was asking for Ideas.. it is not just Kumar or some more people giving an idea that one should leave the house if the value of the house has gone down and now you have to move because of ur job and it is hard selling ur house where u may have to bear a loss ..
I already had conversation with american people ( not any desi's) in my office and they also had the same opinion as to leave a house if u have to leave because of job..
U tell me how wise it is to give a loan to a person without a down payment..The reason i said that other people are stupid is because.. i took an ARM loan of 5 years,, where i knew that i am not going to live in the house for more than 3 years and will later sell it..and there are people who knew that they are going to stay in the same house for more than their ARM period.. but didnt realize that they wont be able to make payment once the rate is re-adjusted.. i am calling those people's decision as stupid..
about me making a bad decision about buying a house.. well not 2 years ago..
i can sell the house for a loss of may be 20,000.. but why should i pay that money from my pocket.. i can keep that in my savings account and use it in my bad time..
Well you seem to have same attitude problem as others in this situation. When people were making profit they were thankful, and now banks/system is there to blame.
Let's see how you are not different from those "stupid" people. Keyword here is "greed". You got greedy and bought house bcoz it will appreciate. People who knew they will be living for more than 5 yrs got ARM bcoz they have to pay less/month(max. leverage), house will appreciate and/or they can refinance when time comes. Do you see any similarity ??? So please stop using derogatory words like "stupid". Banks were lending bcoz they were greedy. All the parties have one thing in common greed.
Ok, coming back to your case. I do not have any experience with foreclosure. From your post it seems like you are losing $20k. Well this does not seem a very big amount. Consider the impact of foreclosure, bad credit will mean you will not get any loan. It will be tough to get auto or any other credit. You carry risk with background checks. I think the lending standards will get tough going forward which means you don't know for how long you will not qualify for home. In my opinion, if you have 20k and it is matter of losing some savings, not going to foreclosure looks better option.
I hope you will learn to own up to your own mistakes, it will only make you better person in life. Good luck.

This is ridiculous; all I see is unnecessary hurdles being produced � I see efforts of discouragement towards coming to this country on H1B. First they suddenly start auditing 60% PERM cases and now suddenly delaying visa unreasonably�increasing Visa numbers and making Green Card processing faster is aside, we are facing other problems.
I have started speaking with senior people at DOS. On a purely procedural level I don't see why an H1 applicant who may already be in the US is not 'security cleared' at the time of giving the I-797 approval. Totally ridiculous.

Let us all send AC21 action item mails to USCIS. Let us send some more through our spouses and teenage children. Also get some more signed by our friends and neighbors.
The letters are very generic. They can be sent by anyone including GC holders and citizens too. All it costs is a few Dollars! So what are you waiting for you? If you have hired a nanny, make her send one too :)

If USCIS recaptures lost visas (estimated to be in the range 300k-600k), all of us will be current. IV should start a drive to push for the recapture ....even if it is partial, it would help everybody in a big way.

Some of the feedback we got when we met our legislators here in Dallas was, when ever we send letters of these kinds they get much more attention when
1) The letter has a personal story in it
2) Letter is hand written
If the letter is hand written and has a personal story in it (along with the IV agenda) then it's likely that some one will read it. On the other hand if it's just a printed copy of a standard letter then it's just going to get tossed into a bin.
Yes you are correct.

Good job slumdogs. You are becoming a puppet of anti-immigrants. Today they are using you to throw your L1 brothers out. Tomorrow they will throw you out. There is fraud in H1 too. No visa is perfect. Just like no American citizen is perfect. 1 in 10 citizen has gone to jail.
If you have so much energy and motivation, why don't you go after anti-immigrants and expose their evil.
Educated idiots!
Are you suggesting that no fraud should be reported?
I would say, any fraud, whether H1/L1/F1, employee related, employer related should be reported? Why should law abiding immigrants/workers pay for those who are committing fraud?
>> 1 in 10 citizen has gone to jail.
Not correct. There are about 260 jail inmates per 100,000 US residents.

LC substitution was wrong because it became a business thing for some unscruplous employers who started to sell LCs and get people to work like slaves.
Bkarnik
LC substitution is not wrong if you look at what it was intended to do. Employment based greencard application is an employer's application and he has the right to give it to whomever he wants to.( especially when an employee leaves him)
The issue was that this provision was misused by many employers.

Am a new member here. Thought of posting the follow-up activities I have done till now and the results for the same.
Details:
PD: Oct 2005
Center: NSC
I485 RD: 07/26/2007
I485 ND: 08/24/2007
FP done only once in 2007 (forgot exact date).
Follow-up:
08/03/2010: Opened SR for primary (self)
08/05/2010: Sent email to NSCfollowup. Got reply that this account address is for following up on open SRs.
08/09/2010: Infopass appointment, did not get any useful info other than that case is being processed
08/09/2010: Opened SR for Secondary (spouse)
08/12/2010: Got response for 1st SR. Main gist of reply was that due to pending caseload in Nebraska, the processing time for my case has been extended :(. But the statement that got my attention was "Your application remains awaiting review by an Officer and you will be notified as soon as a decision is made. The Service is waiting for VISA availability." So called helpline again and was able to get to 2nd Level IO. She said that this statement is a mistake and that Visas are still available. Also confirmed that my case is with IO. However she said that I might be required to do FP again. The FP might be causing the delay.
08/13/2010: Contacted local congressman and asked help for following up.
08/13/2010: Send letter to Ombudsman
Latest status: Still waiting, not sure what other action I can take.
You are doing the right thing. Don't give up. Contact the Senator, if you have any other application pending (like EAD or AP) call them and try to find the status of it. Open an SR for it if needed etc...
