When I started this thread, I felt that some "positive" discussion will benefit us..But couple of earlier few posts, I felt that its drastically taking diffrenet turn whcih was not expected!!!
Is it a deliberate "diversion" to keep original thought away from discusson?
Amen!!
The reason some of us long timers at IV are ired with the Ombudsman is because this drives us off message. We end up discussing non relevant topics.
We have one goal. Relief for thousands of us who are stuck in limbo because of antiquated immigration policies for skilled immigrants.
Today is a good day for us. Why? Because any change is better than the do nothing congress before this one. We need to be energized and reinvigorated to take this race to the finish line.
In times like this the Ombudsman is a distraction. His views are a distraction. When you start feeling helpless or get the age old feeling that nothing will happen, you have lost the battle.

Thanks for the link and I did read the text...
What I understood is that an alien can be granted a PR only when visas are available...
BUT ... we are asking CIS to allow to apply for AOS when immigrant visa is not avaialable...
for a minute let us assume you are correct and If it can be ONLY be changed by Law, then why did DHS secretary mention in the memo as ... "including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases"
I am not trying to argue... I am just trying to justify
Please correct me if I am wrong
Thanks a lot,
Kiran :)
It's not possible to achieve this without changing the INA.
It's a legal requirement that an immigrant visa is immediately available to an applicant at the time AOS application is filed.

In this big black hole we are alone, not the govt. nor the lawyers really care for what goes with us. USCIS is just a money making machine for the govt. Rules are made complex and there are several layers of forms. I wonder why a person should go thru 2 stages before filing for I-485. Or why they have 5 different forms filled Labor/I-140/I-485/I-760/I-131 blah blah blah when they could just do it with 1 form like any other country have or may be 2 layers, labor and I-1485. There's no logic of having to file I-140/I-760/I-131. It's all money game...
AILA does not care about people its an organization to take care of lawyer's interest. When you file every year the lawyer can make money every year. So be rest assured they will make some noises but will not bite USCIS.

Is it possible to get an emergency AP 90-days after the renewal application receipt date?
The reason I'm asking is because I would like to purchase airfare now for travel in January .. but am concerned that my AP won't be approved within the 90-day period USCIS mandates.
Thanks!

Hi, I am currently on a Company A's payroll and working at a client's place (Company B); now that Company B wants me to join them; however, there is a contract between Companies A & B not to hire the employee directly; what should be done in this case? I also have a contractual obligation to my employer not to join the client for 12 months. My employer(Company A) is not willing to let me go (though I worked for a year already). Any advise from the forum?
Thanks
1. Your company (A) has you in a bind. They also have the client (B) in a bind. I doubt (B) will stand up for you beyond a point and fight any battle - unless they are really desparate to hire you.
2. Dont go against your company - they are likely to go after you legally and probably win.
3. Try to negotiate with your client (B) to pay a fees to your (A) to hire you as full time. This is probably the only way to get out of it clean and keep both parties happy.

They hushed up and approved my EAD in 20 days. Why ???? 'cos So they don't hit Jun'30 and give 2 years. They wanted to milk another 680 from me so they hushed up and sent me the 1 year EAD in 20 days.

It is not range. It is the USCIS receipt date for previous EAD application. So you have to see previous I765 application receipt.
Thanks. I know I am bugging you with my questions because I am filling all the forms today and sending. I have one question :)
For AP documents, it says we can submit any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status in US. Now, currently I am on H1B. So should I send them my I797 approval document or EAD copy? Also in there instructions they are asking to send copy of an official photo identity document showing your photo, name & DOB? Can it be PP/DL/EAD?

Under the Fees section, it stated that if you filed your I485 on or after July 2007, and you paid the I485 fees, then no fees is required. Does that mean that I don't have to pay for the $305 for my advanced parole?
My I485 was received sept 2007, and I paid for the I485 fees, offcourse. This is something that I'm not too sure.
The filers who ever filed in July 2007 to August 15 2007 need to pay Advance parole money also.

Guys many have missed an important part of the bulletin. The Family based section , where F2A has advanced to July 2008 and also the below quoted excerpt from Dos in the Visa bulletin.
What this means is that there are a lot more of the family based visas which may not be used before the FY end. These visas will be included in the next years EB visas(for all EB's including Eb3). For 2010 we got about 9-10K excess. For FY 2011 that number will be significant. Also look at the murthy article on the FB visa subject.
MurthyDotCom : CIS Ombudsman's Office Addresses Key Issues (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_ombkey.html)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
D. VISA AVAILABILITY IN THE FAMILY-SPONSORED CATEGORIES
There continues to be extremely rapid forward movement of most Family preference cut-off dates. This is a direct result of the lack of demand by potential applicants who have chosen not to pursue final action on their cases, or who may no longer be eligible for status. The rapid movement provides the best opportunity to maximize number use under the FY-2010 annual numerical limitations. Should applicants eventually decide to pursue action on their cases it will have a significant impact on the cut-off dates.

European carriers are not that friendly to indian flyers. if you have a choice, try to avoid them.
Never had a problem with KLM and BA. Got stuck in amsterdam for 36 hours, the airline got us all transit visa, a kit containing basic toiletries and night clothes. put us up in real nice rooms at the Sheraton, and gave us lunch and dinner vouchers to use at any restaurant on the airport.

...Should we not be trying and praying that CIR passes WITH our provisions...
did you see any of the debate on CSPAN? I unfortunately sat through most of it, and the vitriol that people like Bernie Sanders and Dick Durbin have spewed on H1Bs has left me a bit shaken and a bit bitter. Forget about taxes, we are paying into medicare and social security (which we wont get to use) all these years and yet we were treated like trash. At the same time the red carpet was laid out for illegals who have not even paid taxes, have broken multiple laws...
I dont know if there was even a 5 minute period in the senate where someone said something positive about the contributions that H1Bs have made here. I doubt if we have any chance of getting any favorable amendment in this atmosphere.
It felt as if we went into a massive swordfight (Kill Bill style) armed with toothpicks. The fact that we got away with just scrapes and bruises is victory in itself.
