I disagree. I would expect a person to convey that they are not officially open despite the doors being open. I agree its not nice on customers part to enter before the office is officially open, but that does not mean the officer just threatens a countryman.
We should learn to respect our countrymen/women first. If I were to try to enter a business which is closed but doors are open, I can tell that someone would tell me that same verbally!
You took the words out of my mouth dude.. Lack of respect for fellow indians is something that I have noticed on several situations when I try to make friends with people especially Indians. Some, take things for granted.
Now I cannot blame them as people's behavior is driven by past experiences with fellows.. may be they suspect every other person as one of those pyramid schemes guys.. not sure.. I am far far away from those things though.
I have to tell you one thing, when ever I smiled at folks, they did return one except few who look the other way.. don't worry..keep smiling guys.. after all it costs nothing..

I dont mean to discourage folks here...
But here is what I have seen more often with MBA. Techies like programmers, business analysts in IT sector have done their MBAs from good schools and ended up doing the same job EVEN WITH GREENCARDS.
I have seen GC holders doing MBA and then after finishing MBA ending up with same job description with a 5% increase in pay.
So please do your research in HOW MBA is going to help you in your situation. Your job and your INTENDED JOB POST MBA may not really need you to have an MBA. And I have seen this way too often. So think before you pluck down 30,000 dollars on a degree that might do little benefit financially after you complete it.
From what I know, MBA is more of a long term goal, not an immidiate short term thing. If you plan on continuing your career as a techie, then MBA might not be the right thing for you. But, if you plan on moving up the corporate ladder, then having an MBA helps in a big way. A lot of financial companies and IT companies prefer their corporate executives to have an MBA (preferably from a well reputed school). When you have 2 candidate with similar attributes, but one of them has an MBA, then for a corporate position, the choice is obvious.
There are always exceptions to this. If you are exceptionally good, then having this degree may not be necessary at all (the reverse holds too :) )
Finally, the biggest advantage of going to a top B school is the social networking aspect. The kinda people you meet at a top school are the ones that have a high potential for opening companies, working in a substantial role in good companies, etc. It is always good to be networked with such folks. If you are the entrepreneurial type, then all the better!

My experience is that whether an attorney is good or bad depends on the size of the sponsoring company. My boyfriend was working for a big company and got a really great service with Ogletree Deakins who have offices all over the US. When I was experiencing problems with my attorney, he highly recommended Ogletree and my employer contacted them, and our experience was really bad - they promised a lot of things, then realized it was a small company and was not so interested anymore.
That's why after LC got approved, we decided to file everything pro-se. We have had 3 different attorneys. My case started in 2001 and got stuck in BEC and a PERM case was filed to try to capture my PD from 01, and by looking at my signature you can guess what happened. So, lots of experience with attorneys, not one that could recommend.

All fair arguments. I went through similar emotions, but I tend to agree with Alias. It is best to correct if there was any error.
In my case, all I got was the Welcome letter and then a temporary I-551 stamp. The officer at InfoPass told me that it was approved and he was going to order the plastic card ,and there is no sign of it yet. Of course, it is their mistake that I am not able to renew my EAD since my status on their system is permanent resident. I wanted to renew EAD when it was about to expire a few months ago, but there is no place in the form to write in a PR status (and, of course, that would have been strange as well). So, I expect them to make amends for their mistake. Ideally, they should pay for my $2,500 attorney fees as well, but I guess, that is too much to hope for! I honestly had completely stopped tracking the visa bulletin and this was an unwanted reminder of how sorry the state of legal immigration is.
I still don't know what had happened and that is what I am trying to find out. May be, mine was correctly approved!

The Key Point: Equal opportunity employment advancement is protected by Constitution ("Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)")and hence the Supreme Court can overturn the per country quota limitation if the Supreme Court finds that the per country quota leads to discrimination at employment, which is unconstitutional.
You are missing the key point here.
Equal Employment Opportunity applies only to applicants who are eligible to apply for that job. It does NOT apply to immigrant visa allocation and any other visa benefit such as H-1B approval.
In other words, Equal Employment Opportunity is applicable to US Citizens and residents with work authorization (Green Card holders, EAD holders, person with H-1B approved) and this is limited to job hiring, job promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment. This does not extend to immigration benefit or opportunity lost due to lack of immigration benefit (such as I-485 approval).

If the media holds Obama to the same standard as they do the republicans, you will see the democrats crumbling faster than a cookie.
There is so much hypocrisy in the media. If women vote for Sarah Palin it is wrong because you voting her just because of his gender. But oh, if you are black and dont vote Obama, then you are the most odious person living in this world. How will you explain your kids that you did not support a black person for presidency? This kind of duplicity is keeping Obama look good in the eyes of people. Throw off your goggles and you will see the same issues with Obama that you see with Sarah.
Also, so many low intensity criminals are asked to do community service, that does not qualify them to become the president of US. And what happened to his moral fiber when he changed his opposition to the telco immunity bill and voted so that he does not look bad on security issues? Did he use that fiber to get rid of his constipation issues??
Give me one example where media told that a black person has to vote for black person. Otherwise you are making stuff just for arguing.

I have already send an email...I'll post the reply (If I get one).
Folks, I got the response from AF.
This is what I sent them:
Your message............................ : I would never ever fly Air France, because I am a resident of India and your Airline treat Indians very badly, discriminating because of the country of citizenship and color. Shame on you for making 55 Indians wait in the airport for more then 12 hrs while the rest of passengers (non-indians) were arranged to go and stay in a hotel. Shame on you for ill treating the passengers in your Country (Paris, France). 1 less customer for you Air France!!! My suggestion: Change your attitude. Don't give substandard treatment to non-white passengers.
This is AF response:
Claim No.38-----
Dear Mr -------,
Thank you for your message. On behalf of Air France, I apologize for any difficulties caused by this unfortunate incident.
Flight AF 218 from Paris to Bombay, operated by an Airbus A330 with 169 passengers and 12 crew members on board, left Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport at 12:45 on 10th May and returned at 20:06 on the 10th of May, as while en-route the pilots noticed some vibrations from the Cargo hold, which could not be checked during the flight.
At Paris-Charles de Gaulle, under the supervision of competent authorities, checks were carried out on the technical state of the aircraft but no abnormalities were found.
Passengers with a valid transit visa were put up at nearby hotels for the night. Also despite the fact that transit visa�s are issued by the immigration authorities, Air France staff mediated the issuance of visa�s which turned out to be a time consuming process. Needless to say passengers were taken care of by the Air France ground staff who spoke fluent English and passengers were also provided with food and water.
All the passengers were transferred to another Air France aircraft the next day, flight AF 218A which left Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 14:15 and reached Mumbai safely. Air France regrets any and all inconvenience caused to the passengers due to this incident. At all times, the main concern of Air France is to ensure the security of passenger.
I do hope that the above explanation will help soften the negative impact of this situation and hope to have the privilege of welcoming you aboard Air France in the future, to your entire satisfaction.
Best Regards,
Mariette Pierre

I don't know the history of BigTime007 postings. Maybe he has said some things in the past that lead to the ban but his most recent post which got him banned seemed just like venting and nothing more.
What I do find annoying though is when ppl whose PD's are in 2006-2007 tell ppl rotting in BEC to "enjoy the ride". I have seen a few threads in the past where someone stuck in BEC was just venting and then ppl come along and tell them to "be happy for others". I don't get it. How is a person who is stuck for years, sees ppl with later cases get interim benefits, supposed to feel happy knowing they will still be stuck. :confused:
I think all these poor souls are looking for is a few words of sympathy and company of ppl in similiar situation (not very different from ppl complaining about retrogression mind you). If we can not do anything to help ppl stuck in those blackhole let's not rub salt into their wounds.
Lastly, regardless of whether you are stuck in BEC or expect to be stuck in retrogression for the next few years, there is no reason to be uncivil.
I didn't read bigtime* posts either...but if he was being uncivil to us who are filing...its not right. He has every right to be frustrated but being uncivil is not right.

Berry, Appleman & Leiden LLP is very good firm. I have very good experience with them. They completed all my paper work on Jun 30, so that they can file by July 2. Also the attorney and the para-legal were really good and replied to my questions patiently. The website is http://www.usabal.com/

Are you kidding me? You are recommending http://www.usabal.com/ aka Berry, Appleman & Leiden LLP? DO NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM. RUN AWAY FROM IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN. They totally screwed up my case. My PD became current on June. I asked them repeadtly to file my 485. And I asked them for like 1 1/2 month. But they waited till July to file my case. So, I was affected by this visa fiasco. Their lawyer do not answer phone calls, they don't return voic mail and they do not response to email for 3-4 days. It is a totally BS firm. If possible go with small immigration law firm.

Couple of more questions regarding the dependant AP renewal:
1) Is it necessary to send the previous AP copy. The instructions of I-131 do not mention anything of sending previous copies. Dependent's AP is expired.
>>>Yes, if she has one, it'll help speed the process
2) And as my spouse is maintaining her own H1 and has renewed it last year, do we need to send a copy of recent I-797 also along with the supporting docs. I have written "H1/Pending AOS" in 'Class of Admission' question. So I am assuming I need to send a copy recent H1 also since in the instructions they ask for any current USCIS doc showing status.
>>>There cant be two class of admission, either she has used H1B or AP to get in to the country previously but not both.
Thanks in advance

If I were you I would not go after chasing USCIS. But this is what I would do.Enjoy your GC and freedom
Congratulations and enjoy your green card! Don't worry about the priority dates not being current when yours was approved. My green card was approved in September 2007, sometime after the July fiasco wherein the PD for all categories became unavailable. Since my gc approval, I've been in and out of the US, and I hadn't had any single problem getting back in.
