Guys,
Again, post your field of work. I somehow see reluctance here on the part of posters. 2 to 3 have done so, but the rest have not. If it is only IT for the major part, we have to analyse and see why IT is being targeted for audits... ?
thanks!
I think all the fields are getting targeted. I am not from IT. As per my attorney, current situation is that PERMS for EB2's are getting 100% audited.

I received my renewed passport yesterday from CGI, Houston.
Filed: Nov 12th 2007
Received: Dec 18th 2007
It took them around 20-23 working days to approve my application.
As others have noted here, customer service is non existent. But they do seem to be doing the job well enough.
Just make sure you file well in advance and sit tight.
Thanks,
shubhn

Problem being that last page of that thread keeps refreshing itself and everytime i scroll down to the bottom of the page it keeps going back to the top. Sounds like some script is running in the background.
I had the page scrolling issue too on IE 6 (at work) . Now, I open IV forumns on firefox and I do not have the problem anymore.

Hi,
My wife needs to change her status from H4 to H1 as soon as possible (before 31st of March). Her current status is -
- H4 on passpost (expiring on 19th March)
- H4 extension approved till 2010
- She has an H1B approved till 2010 (no I94 with the approval notice as it was done when she was in India)
What are our options? These are what we know with pros/cons. Please add/correct.
1. Go for stamping to India.
This looks like the safest option as this is first time stamping. Both Mumbai and Delhi have 31st as first dates available for appt. Chennai is open but we have heard rejection rate is high. Please comment.
2. Go for stamping to Canada
She does not have a US degree and we have heard that first time stamping is difficult without it.
3. Stamping in Mexico
We have heard that first time stamping is generally not recommended.
4. Change of Status within USA
This is the easiest but will take much longer, at least 3 months or so.
Any suggestions are welcome. Please let us know as we are trying to formulate a plan so we can minimize rejection risk and get H1 stamp/COS before 31st.
thanks!

Lets not get stuck in debating and talking all the new news about legislation being introduced, Skil/CIR. The most important thing is to create awareness about problems we are facing (EB immigrants).
Time again we have seen that because of low awareness amongst all the peoples-reps (congressmen, senators, all others) our provisions have been dropped at the last minute.
The need of the hour is to keep working together as a unified team, we all do a good job as a team. We have seen that during the lame duck and also before in May, 2006.
IV core as a team exactly knows what is best for all of us. We have to trust them and help them do their thing, meanwhile we can all concentrate on
1)raising awareness, writing op/eds. writing to editors
2) Inviting other people who are stuck like us (to be IV members). Strength is in the numbers.
3) Creating a huge fund to help lobby/or other such activity that we need it for.
Some new members might doubt the intentions and the commitment of the core team. Also it is very easy to be skeptical of people asking for funds. When I was new to the IV team, I had the intitial skepticism about people on the forum asking for funds and contributing. It took me a good 2 weeks of being a guest on the site to register and then another 10-12 days to give my first contribution. So from that standpoint, I know that new people on the forum are going to take some time to trust IV and have faith in the core leadership. All we can do is to get new members (So many thousands stuck in retrogression). New members inturn will become active in a short time, Bigger and stronger IV with a 10,000+ membership will ensure being noticed and also will have the required funds to make it happen this year.
Lets reach the target of 10000 members before the 31st of this month.

ok, there is a lot of prediction that the dates will move from C to U in the very near future. What does it mean for people who currently have I-1485 applications pending? Does it mean they have to wait until the dates move from U to whatever their PD is? if it moves to U in Aug, I think it will be in Oct when it will move again to sometime 2003 (given the large # they are about to receive).
Any ideas about this?

Here is Ron's reply for the questions/concern
Almost every time I have made a specific complaint, they have responded by resolving the case right away in order to make the whole thing go away. It wouldn�t surprise me to see the same thing here.
I agree. The last time I spoke to one of the admins he said that we will have to add our Case Numbers to make our letter/request more strong. This is understandable because otherwise how would they know whether we made up the names/list or if its real.
I doubt that there will be any implications if we add our cases, it would give them a reason investigate or inquire why Atlanta is taking so long, to say the least.

Thank you much. This is exciting. I for one would like to know his opinions on why so many audits were called for and then why they were shelved without being touched for months. If it's really due to H2 temp labor we may expect some improvements soon. If he doesn't think so then there is no foreseen end to this issue. We really have to take actions.
And needless to say, what can be done and how we should go about doing it.
I appreciate your efforts.

I think CITIZENShip years Credit or Reduction in the years is Make most sense for the highly skilled immigrant from India and China as those are the people who suffers most because of backlog and name check.
I also think we should stick to the "five year federal taxes paid" beacuse that is what they expect from normal family based GC holder. Also adding Masters and Higher degrees in the STEM fields attract possible more support.
We should not talk any where close to 10 /15 years waiting time as that is not what current system of citizesnship talks about.
Also marriage based GC already has 3 years after GC rule so it may beeasy to get it.
Making it more complicated like Percent credit for before GC filing, after GC filing, after getting GC May become hard and complicated to convenince politicains who might be amending those rules.
So Keeping it simple - 5 yr federal taxes, MS or higher in STEM, 3 years after GC - you get citizenship (all of these has precedents)
IV Core team, have a look into the valid and genuine ideas on citizenship in this thread and try to include them in the phase 2 campaign. For our long term vision & goal, this should also be a part of our campaign.

Glad, you took pain to check and see all bulletins. Can you see India in 2003 bulletins? India was simple dispappeared from 2003 bulletins. It was no more "OverSubscribed" country as per INS. In reality in background Eb3 India was hold and almost all the year treated like step child by INS. EB2 India was doing good throughout 2003. Since bulletins kicked India out how can you know then? Mymajor source of information as usual was murthy.com and immigration.com. I vaguely remember murthy came up with one or two warning articles about "administrative" hold on Eb3 processing and severe future Eb3 retrogressions then.

My son aged out by 31 days (DOB: 03/30/1986) after applying CSPA benefit (I-140 processing period) of one month and hence could not file 485 application (in this July) and hence we are going through lot of hardships in different ways ( showing $27k balance for F1 , maintaining F1 status at very high tuition fees, showing high bank balance for OPT etc...).
My son is herein USA for the last 8 years from his 13th year studying from his 9th grade to his undergraduate final year. My I-140 was applied/approved in his 19th year - however, due to retrogression, I-485 could not be applied and hence this issue.
I sincerely feel that - the objective of CSPA was to extend protection to this kind of situations - but could not fulfil the same because of later unexpected retrogression which was not there in employment based categories in 2002 and hence is a kind of technical anomaly. I also feel that if core group puts its heart in to this issue - it could convince the law makers easily since it is more of a humanterian issue and the problem is due to unintended technical anomaly and with practically Nil negative effects even from anti-immigrant view point.
As a group, age-out cases may not be many - but the suffering by these few is huge - after being in USA for 9 years, these children have to be separated from their families, has to repeat the cycle - continue study at vey high tuition fees, go through OPT / H1B (if in IT and wins H1b Lottery) / labor / I-140 / I-485/EAD/GC).
I request core group to study the issue in depth - then I am sure they can convince the law makers easily since it is rectification of technical anomaly.
