Here is an idea: say we have roughly 500 members out of this vast array of 35000+ members who have the heart and the will to contribute. we get $2000 from each and place it in an escrow trust account that does not release money for expenditure unless we reach $1 mln
We need to identify number of people who can really make a big chunk of one time contribution (like $500,$1000,$2000), and we should aim at scoring atleast 2000 committed members, so that per person share would be $500. Once we have the pledge from committed members; IV shall announce the fund raising day (instead of fund raising thread) in advance, all committed members will contribute the same day (optimistic).

USCIS has updated the processing dates pages of all the four service centers on September 28. Now the pages say that these dates are valid as of July 31, 2008 only.
If I remember well the processing dates information was more up-to-date earlier.
So looks like CIS has backtracked from their earlier published dates. They are telling us that they simply cannot tell what the current processing dates are. All they can tell us is that what applications they were processing on July 31.
What can we deduce from this? Is it good? Is it bad? Or no relevance?
It could be good as CIS might be processing July 2007 485 applications as of today? Or may be not.
Simply more confusion, as if as it is we were not confused enough.

Dear President Elect _______
Congratulations sir, on your election to the Presidency of the United States of America. It has truly been inspirational for me to follow your campaign.
As a legal immigrant to this country, my one regret this season is that after nearly 10 yrs in this country, I was unable to participate in this process by actually voting. In fact, I am yet to be the beneficiary of a green card. I am caught up in the quagmire that is our legal immigration system. Yet, I understand fully that this does not represent the spirit of America, so I keep hoping.
I have been waiting patiently for many years and following all the rules set forth. Though there are many pressing issues to be dealt with, I hope that you would make the issue of addressing legal immigration reform and transparency, one of your administration's early priorities. As you are aware this issue is also critically linked to economic competitiveness and global economic leadership. I feel certain that your bi-partisan leadership can accomplish sensible reform quickly.
Respectfully,

When you apply for H1 transfer..they transfer the current H1.
If you have more than 6 months on ur H1 you cannot apply for extension..
when you file for transfer.
So better option would be:
a.) Transfer H1...and then file for extension.
b.) Or file for extension and then change jobs...
if you havent filed for 485.. then you have to restart the GC..and recapture your PD.... i used the option B.
hope this helps

I am in a similar situation. What did your friend end up doing? I would appreciate any feedback on this.
My 140 is approved, 6th year expires in March 09, 485 has not been filed due to retrogression and there is a potential for a layoff. Can I transfer 140 to a new employer and file 3 yr extension at the same time?

I didn't quiet get from your message whether the "08xxxxxxx" has an "A" preceding it. In all probabilty it should.
If it indeed has an "A". It is a A# so you might as well forget about deducing on a visa # being assigned based on the A# on the FP :)
An according the website you referred to, nowhere does he mention about a visa #. The A# being assigned for life has nothing to do with a visa # !
All,
I'm trying to understand if it is a general practice of USCIS to specify an A# on the FP notice. My FP notice has an A# that starts with 08xxxxxxx. I wonder if it is the actual visa number since according to http://www.kkeane.com/general-faq.shtml my number is the visa number:
<QUOTE>
There actually are four separate types of A#. You can tell them apart by the number of digits and the first digit. The first kind is an eight-digit A#. These are manually assigned at local offices. If you have one of these numbers, simply treated it as if it was "0" plus the number. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 1 are used for employment authorization cards, usually related to students. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 3 are used for fingerprint tracking of V visa applicants. All other nine-digit A#'s (these actually always start with a 0) are permanent A#'s and remain permanently with you for life.
Therefore, the rule is: if you are asked for an A# and have one, always give this A#, regardless of whether it starts with a 0, 1 or 3. If you have both a 0-A# and a 1-A# or a 3-A#, then use the one that starts with a 0.

My PD for EB3 was current in the June 2007 bulletin and I applied for AOS on 06/28.

Anyone used this to inform CIS of their AC-21 case since it was announced?
Any experiences??? I had sent this to my attorney for his inputs but got no response
Do you know if you can do this yourself or do you need you attorney to send this email on your behalf?

Hi all,
This forum is full of smart people. So I want to throw my situation out there to get some advice from all of you. I am into 7th year of my H1 with by labor with PD of Sep 2002. At the rate things are moving, I am running out of patience here.
Things took an interesting turn last week, when a mid sized Software co. is willing to outsource me some of their work. Given the size of the opportunity, I will need to go to India to setup a team of 5 to 6 ppl. The co. is pretty eager and willing to offer some of the finanical guarantees I have asked for.
So my question is, should I take this opportunity and say good bye to GC? Or I should be patient as there may be a need to be in US to grow my outsourcing biz, in case it jump starts well. What would you do if you were presented this opportunity and you had the enterpreurial spirits to pull it off.
I would be eager to see what people say here.

Here are my thoughts about this so called Conversation:
the topic of discussion will be - how to get illegals a greencard in a quick/fair manner. Any discussion of legal non-immigrants and pains they have to go through in the current EB2/EB3/Visa stamp topics will be considered taboo.
It's sad but inevitable. Illegals are potentially in a better position to get greencard than legals like us.

From the below FAQ2 just release by USCIS
Q21: Will USCIS permit applicants who filed adjustment applications between July 2, 2007 � July 17, 2007, but who have not yet received a USCIS generated receipt notice, to file for Advance Parole and Employment Authorization based on proof of delivery of the I-485 application?
A21. Yes.
Does this apply only for ppl who have filed between July 2nd and July 17th.?? How about for people who have filed & filing between July 17th thru Aug 17th? Wud the same rule applies to them too? Any inputs on this?
Many of the law-firms including mine are just filing 485 not EAD & AP. If this rule is for everyone I'll apply EAD and AP myself after I receive proof of delivery from my attorney.

I am in the process of changing job. The new employer is saying that I can start working with them from the very next day, after they file H1B transfer application. ie I don't have to wait for the receipt. Is this true? They are asking me to give 2 weeks notice immediately so that by the time they file H1B, 2 weeks will get over, and I can start there immediately.
Please reply its kind of urgent for me.
Thanks.
It is always good to wait until you get the Receipt Notice..You never know what will happen..Dont take Chances with USCIS..

Hi,
We are in a peculiar situation regarding our FP. Did you take your FP taken? If so, did you get your file updated sometime after FP was completed? When you gave FP the last time, do you whether they had processed it before the approval?
We had to postpone our 2nd FP in May and gave our prints only in the end of June. I heard that such cases get into delays or problems. The first time over, our FPs were cleared in a week.
Your response will be appreciated. Thanks.
