Hi Guys,
Happy to say , got the CPO status last night for my EAD.
I had e-filed on May 25th. 4 days back had called up customer service, and one lady said she would send an expedite request. Probably that did the trick. I had taken info pass appmnt for Aug 25 and was planning to meet the local congresman today.
Good luck you all. I know how frustrating the wait is ..
Hi,
Can you tell us what reason can we say to get the Expedited Request done?? Looks like they have a list of reasons and am not sure if that would create any more issues for us!
Thanks

My PD, Sep 2005, is current as well and has been current since since last month but no magic emails yet. By the way, when I called the CIS today, the officer indicated that my finger print is cleared but name check is still pending. I thought they were the same? Does anyone know what the difference is between the two?

I applied for renewal and it was with additional fee for Tatkal, So i paid $155 ( 90 + 45 + 20 ). Recd passport in 8 days by Fedex.
Applied on : 6/4
Recd New Passport : 6/13
Last time i did not do Tatkal for my wife's passport and then we did not get it even after 2 months, we had to go to Houston personally and request those babus there, then they charged extra 90 anyway and sent passport in 3 days after that.
You will be amazed, they never pick phone or even if you go there personally, presumably it is too difficult for them to find your file.

I believe there are always two camps in any group, different view points, ideas and observations.
I firmly believe even if words are harsh from some members they donot mean that bad, or they just simply cant see other's view point.
Over last few year, i have observed something and that bothers me, the point is
"We (Indians) are interesting people, we want to live as an indian in america";
save a lot of money, go home(india) for 15 days ....say bad things about india
and then come here...start saying bad things about america.
Nothing about this behavior is specific to Indians. It is a first generation immigrant behavior. See if you children are going to do it...
I like some points aobut half hearted work from some fellows. I totally agree.
Here is my simply take, if we want to live and compete hapilly, we have to really live in america as an american.
How can an indian who slept all afternoon on weekend, then watched a movie and ate heavy dinnner at night with 5 indian families who all taked about negative things in america; will /can compete with american on monday morning...when this american
got up early on saturday, ran 10 miles ...full of energy....took his/her kids for camping or went on its own, ran /exercised on sunday may be a long trek in woods...he is fresh, ready to work, creative...
I donot think anyone who slept all week/watched movie/talked negative about american society /about america can compete with someone who lived for full weekend.
Really? An active lifestyle, being outdoors, energetic etc. are qualities of an American? A country where 70% of people are supposed to be overweight? Where some say 30% to 40% of schoolchildren are obese? I would agree with your argument for an active lifestyle versus a lazy one. However generalizing to things like getting up early/running/trekking/outdoorsy etc. as typical American traits is pushing it.
If I want to catch up on my sleep on the weekends, why not? I sleep less than 6 hours a day on average during the week. Sleeping less = poor output and also has been linked to poor cardiac health.
These are just small observations.
In short, most of us are still living an indian life in america. This will not take us far,
If we want to be happy we got to live as an american in america.
Money is not everything,a big bankbalance will do no good to anyone at age of 65 when you cant move your leg let apart run or play.
I also believe, we (indians) donot give time to ourselves. Ex. husband, wife, kids all together all the time. No good, give time to yourself, do somtihngs togehter and some things seperately, This will give time to observe life as an individual too.
You dont have to blindly believe that everything that is American is good.
For example, Americans work the longest hours of any developed country. Does this increase your standard of living. They have the fewest holidays/vacation days.
Maybe doing things separately is your "American way" of fun. Doing things with my family is my way. What's wrong with that. At least we dont have a 50% divorce rate and dont kick our kids out of our homes when they turn 18.
how many indian go out for just all boys groupings, not many. Why??? how bad it can be, when you just go out kick some dust drink beer if you please, atleast releax.
When i started doing it, it was lot of fun.
Same should be with girls, wives, you all should go out and do things with your friends for a change.
same for kids, if your kids want to go camping with school friends, let them go. Let kids live their life. Imaging what your kids talks about weekend, when rest of american kids talk about running in wood, fishing, hunting, mud racing.....????
Just my thoughts and i believe in living life to fullest; and try to live it to fullest too.
I go out and meet friends by myself. Why does it have to be all boys? Why do I have to drink beer (yucky/stinky stuff by the way). My wife does the same with her friends. Kid is too youg for this.
My point is you are trying to fit into your image of an american. You will never fit in completely. You are hoping your beer buddies are laughing with you and not at you. Be yourself- however Indian or American it may be.

DOL PROMULGATES NEW LABOR CERTIFICATION RULES
Posted on:5/31/2007
By Attorneys Robert L. Reeves and Elsie H. Arias
Addressing concerns about fraud and abuse of the labor certification system, the Department of Labor (DOL) recently announced new regulations regarding labor certifications, including ending employers' ability to substitute alien beneficiaries, imposing a 180-day validity period of labor certifications, and regulating the payment of attorney fees associated with the filing of labor certifications. These rules will take effect on July 16, 2007.
As we have previously discussed in this column, the labor certification process is necessary for alien workers to gain lawful permanent residence through an employer for most occupations. Before the Department of Homeland Security - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may approve employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the DOL must first certify to the USCIS that: (1) there are not sufficient U.S. workers, who are able, willing, qualified, and available at the time of the application for a visa and admission into the U.S. and at the place where the alien is to perform the work; and (2) the employment of the alien will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
One major change in the adjudication of labor certifications is the substitution of a beneficiary. Although not codified in law or regulation, the USCIS and DOL permits the substitution of new beneficiaries for pending or approved labor certifications to accommodate employers and their labor needs. Unfortunately, the DOL claimed that some unscrupulous lawyers and employers sold labor certifications to foreign nationals not originally identified as the beneficiary and where a bona fide job opportunity did not exist. To prevent this type of abuse in the labor certification system, the DOL will prohibit the substitution of alien beneficiaries on the rule's effective date. Previously-approved substitutions and requests for substitution! s made p rior to July 16, 2007, will remain valid.
In its new rule, the DOL will also impose a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications. Labor certifications are presently valid for an indefinite time, but after July 16, 2007, employers must file the I-140 immigrant visa petitions with the USCIS within 180 days of the labor certification approval. Immigrant visa petitions filed after 180 days of a labor certification's approval will be denied because the labor certification will no longer be considered valid. Labor certifications approved before the rule's effective date of July 16, 2007, will also be subject to the 180-day deadline, i.e., employers will need to file I-140 visa petitions based on these prior labor certifications prior to January 12, 2008.
The DOL also clarifies in its impending rule that the barter, purchase, and sale of labor certifications is prohibited, and sets forth the ramifications for employers or attorneys engaged in this unlawful conduct, including suspension, criminal indictment, and disbarment.
The most controversial part of the DOL's new rule concerns the payment of costs and attorney fees associated with filing labor certifications. The regulations are presently silent as to whether employer or employee should bear these costs, but the new rule clearly delineates each party's financial obligations. Effective July 16, 2007, attorneys representing both the employer and alien worker in a labor certification must be paid directly by the employer for legal fees associated with preparing the application and representation before the DOL. Employers will also be responsible for paying for advertisements and related costs, which the DOL believes will help safeguard the integrity of the labor certification process. These costs cannot be transferred to or shared with the alien worker. Should the foreign national retain an attorney to represent him in the labor certification process, and this attorney will not also be representing the employer, ! the fore ign national will be allowed to pay fees directly to the attorney. This particular rule may be challenged by various immigration attorneys through litigation for interfering with contractual relationships between an attorney and a client.
Obtaining a labor certification from the DOL entails complex issues legally and procedurally for both the employer and foreign national seeking resident status. Employers and individuals seeking legal representation in these matters should consult experienced immigration counsel.

This rumor from fragomen's site is creating a havoc everywhere.
These rumors are wreaking havoc on people who are not in a perfect position to control the timing of filing. Many lawyers and many employers will file between 25th and 31st July. And I can accept that. My own HR and lawfirm have made it clear that we will file before 31st July but there is no guarantee that it will be sooner than that and any sooner than that is not neccesary.
Those who are filing on their own can file on July 1st. But those who are depending on lawyers and their own HR, please relax and stop thinking too much.

I think there are more people affected by this than 50 people mentioned in this thread. My recommendations are.
1) Need to gather additional people got affected by this
2) Most of the people already contribute to IV but if we need additional funds to drive this lobbying, need to find out and start collecting additional funds
3) Need advise from IV moderators/seniors about the next step regarding lobbying or contacting the local law makers or collecting additional funds for organized lobbying.
Other information we need to find out is does any people got LCA approved after the audit? If yes, how much time it has taken after the audit?

Honorable Lofgren had brought about very valid points and it seems too good to be true. (pessimism)
But if this is true We are all in, in next few days. (optimism).
The Twist is if this is true chances are H. Lofgren will cut a deal, remember there are heavyweights on the other side too. Its too embarrasing for all of them. ( realism)
I wish my optimism comes true though, that way I can tell my children when they grow up as to who made the difference and stood up for RIGHT CAUSE and questioned WRONG DOING without fear and that would be Hon. Lofgren.
om namo shivay. (Amen)
BTW our life has been between these three "ism" phases for god knows how long. (anantkaal) - time immemorial

Here are few clarification Nix. Not that I need to explain to you but for all peop here
Pappu Thanks for your support
I will post relevant ideas as we gather momentum
My answers to your post are color coded in GREEN
(1) I found a unique way to cope with the stress of our immigration nightmare.
through Day trading??
Dude Day trading is stressfull if you dont know what you are doing ?
(2) It is not easy and it is not for the weak hearted but the rewards are wholesome and tremendous.
(3) Now lets Play !!!!!
Have you just tried to sell Day trading to IVians??
Relax Nix Probably this post aint for you . Why the hell do I need to sell anything to you. I am sharing what I feel is a great way to channalise negative energies towards something useful.
LMAO. I am sorry but I disagree that Day trading is an investment. Day trading is risky business and one needs plush amounts of cash as SIPC/SEC will not release the money on the same day. Don't even get me started on the margin accounts.
It is risky FOR SURE . It is a s risky as much as Crossing road is risky for the blind
People who can see can cross with ease provided they are not careless and have good judgement
I agree with (2) and would also like to point out that the risks are also substantial. One can get addicted to day trading and I dont need to tell what addiction can do to any one.
Nix people are addicted to VB too wht did they achieve.....Here atleast I am doing something progressive.
It needs time during work hours. ie 9 30 am and 4 30 pm. A lot of people did day trading during the dot com boom and recently with FRE & FNM. We know the results.
Well I am guessing your knowledge of day trading is limited to what Wikipedia has to offer. I work 9.00 5.00 Software engineer (no pun intented) And I make a decent 50-100 on the side .
While you might have taken refuge in day trading for the stress immigration has caused, it can be a serious double whammy/nightmare if the calculations go wrong.
Well Day traders that I have seen sucessful have NEVER EVER suggested to go all in. Play small play consistent
All said, if you feel that there is enough money to be made and normal Joe Bloggs can cope up with the pressure, please share your thoughts in detail.
I wanted to address this post first cause I want the notion that this is for my benefit to be outted. I have been here long and supported IV in all ways possible.

hellomms Could you gather all such people who are facing this issue and want to join the effort to fix it, at a single place on an IV thread. Once we have a sizable number of people to take initiative this effort can be successful. It is difficult to divert attention and resources for a single person. Each immigration issue that our community faces is important to the person suffering from it. IV is a place where people can get together and do something about fixing it.

My wife is in India for the last year to get new H1-B (6 years completed)
She has a valid dependant visa till May 2008
Based on new rule, she applied to reclaim 3 years of H4 for H1-B.
H1-B is approved, she is going to Chennai, India for stamping.
If for some reason H1 is denied, can she come back as dependant?
Yes ..she can use H4 if H1 is denied. Make sure consulate don`t cancel the H4 visa and the time of H1 B visa interview.

I have always lived with this thought..If i want to go live back in India, I dont need a GC, If i decide to stay here in the US, It does not matter when GC comes..as long as u have legal status that you can maintain ( I know may not be for everybody ..esp who are in the clutches of the consultants)...most of you guys can change to job of your choice and maintain status..Without a GC, i have done everything you can do with one..( Job change, House buying , what else?)...So while i know it is a comforting feeling to have a GC, dont let that drive you crazy...the system is as fair or as unfair as it can be, it is how u look at it..Just chill ..good things will happen. Wishing you all the very best

Hello, Thanks for the help. Here is my list.
1. As CIS told Congress in a hearing last year, They indeed wasted visas due to administrative delays. Clearing such a backlog would make all EB current. - Best case scenario
2. Allowing people to file Adjustment of Status (AOS) after their immigration petition (I140) is approved but were unable due to their country cap. Relax/clarify the AC-21 rule for Same or Similar occupation. How much long wait is considered long enough to move-on? (in general terms) - Average Scenario
3. Let CIS publish the real backlog of the EB AOS applications (Backlog defined by common sense - should include all the EB AOS cases and not just what they think not backedup due to Visa availability) pending by country, and PD in 2-3 months. - Worst case Scenario. Atleast helps us plan our future by deciding to continue the wait or get back home.
4. Starting the Citizenship clock after I140 approved.
Thanks again for your help..
