    Why USCIS suddenly did this press release? Something fishy?




    Nebraska Service Center
    USCIS expects to provide in time-compliance for receipting of form types listed below:
    Data Entry:
    Compliant BY
    I-131 EB 8/1/2007
    I-140 EB 8/1/2007
    I-485 8/1/2007
    N-400 8/1/2007
    All other forms are currently in time-compliance.

    http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/ReceiptingTimes06Jul07.pdf.

    So, if they accept our applications for July, we can expect the receipt numbers on Aug 1st.

    I totally agree with Prof. Wadwha, No-H1B and only EB legislation. Increasing H-1 B strikes same emotional poison in minds of Americans as foreigners taking
    local jobs and those jobs not going to the 'Sons of the Soil'.

    IV should only concentrate on EB legislation. Any steps towards H-1B will nullify all struggles towards EB.

    I have been confused by some of the things Professor Wadhwa says -- being opposed to H1 visas and saying there are no shortages of engineers. I saw this video on Youtube which explained everything to me. He is acting like a true American -- like we should once we become citizens. He is advising America on how they can stay competetive -- like all of us want for this great country. But he is also saying that the real solution is for America to welcome immigrants as permanent residents rather than on temporary visas.

    Now I understand his message -- if you want to bring in the best from all over the world, bring them here on green cards -- not H1 visas. I also read one of his interviews where he said he was concerned about how H1 workers were taken advantage of and how they lived in immigration limbo. He really does care about doing what is right for all of us.

    I totally totally agree with Professor Sahib! I wish the government listens to him. What he is saying is good for everyone. As Indians we want America to succeed and prosper and we want to be a big part of the reason they prosper.

    Please see this and give it a good review -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvqqYDmLgjY

    it means freedom and a respect for my education, my skills and my hard work.
    read my story below.

    -------------------------------------------------------

    America, the land of opportunity and freedom.

    These days when I hear America being any of the above, I usually
    sneer. 6 long years have thought me not to accept everything I hear.

    Back home, I had respect. I had a good education and a great job. I
    got an education from the best schools and the best colleges. I worked
    for a big multi-national with a big fat salary and lots of
    opportunities to travel to countries on work. I was a success. But I
    wanted to be more. I wanted to be global. I wanted to work in a
    different country for sometime. I loved seeing different cultures,
    seeing different places; I wanted to see the world. Thats when the
    offer for a job in the US came. I took it up because I could see the
    US of A, the land of the free, the land of opportunity, the land of
    the Cisco's and Microsofts and more importantly, the land of dreams. I
    thought a couple of years working away from home would do me no harm.
    Boy, was I wrong!!!!

    The first few years in my new country of residence were difficult. I
    worked for a startup with its crazy hours and insane schedules. Far
    from seeing new places, I was busy at work. But I did not complain. I
    liked the work and the company's passion to create something new. No
    longer was I working on the junk companies outsource to third world
    companies. I was working on the actual product, creating something
    that was not done before, something I could be proud off. I was busy
    at work, but it was not difficult to notice something, the Americans
    worked hard, the people with green card worked harder, but the people
    on H1-B worked hardest. I guess, the people on H1B had the most to
    lose. But I did not give a hoot. I had a product to deliver. I never
    had the time to think about my green card. I still wanted to go back
    to my country, maybe not right now, but I wanted to. Right now, my
    work was my priority and I would concentrate on that.

    Slowly the years went by, and unknowningly I started seeing the
    American Dream. I got a new car and expensive clothes, I started going
    out with my friends, visited new places, and more importantly I
    stopped feeling homesick. The apartment I shared with my friends was
    my new home. So when my company asked me if they could do my green
    card, I readily agreed.

    I should have seen the signs. There were many of them; but I chose to
    ignore. I should have know that people are exploited when I heard a
    top executive at my company say once that he expects everyone to work
    long hours and weekends because we had no options. The job market
    outside was bad and none of us could find jobs. I should have known
    that my cultural background mattered when the girl at the Albertson's
    counter did not even look up to me, but was very friendly with all the
    Americans ahead of me, or when an office colleauge introduced his girl
    friend to all americans but ignored the Indians. I chose to ignore all
    this, because I thought it does not affect me. As long as I did my
    work or followed the rule of the land, nothing else mattered. I was
    wrong again.

    Two things changed in 2005. My company went down and I got married. I
    was on H1B and had to find a job soon. I was already at the end of my
    H1B tenure so not many companies were interested. That is when I
    realized the disadvantage of being on an H1B. It did not matter that
    my resume was impressive. My H1B status was more important than my
    skill set. It it did not matter that I had already spent a lot years
    in this country and my green card had been filed. It was hard finding
    a job that would sponsor my H1B and my green card again. I did manage
    to find one. But I was not lucky on my home front. My wife could not
    work because she was on a dependent visa. She had given up a career in
    India to be with me, but reality hit soon when she started getting
    bored. She kept herself busy with books, TV and cooking. And life went
    on, hoping that we would get our green card soon and we would be free
    again. Free to find a job of my liking for me, and free to do any job
    for my wife.

    Its Feb 2007 now and there's still no sign of the green card. I
    stopped hoping for one. I dont care for one. All I care for now is my
    wife to be able to work in something she likes within any legal
    boundaries.

    Its been a long time since I legally came to this country. I was young
    and succesful then. And now as I cross another anniversary of my
    landing in the US, I reflect upon what I have gained. I have gained a
    big bank balance, a good car, a good lifestyle. What have I lost -
    plenty. I have lost my career, my freedom, my health, my marriage and
    my family. I have been stuck in the same job for many many years while
    all my friends have climbed up the corporate ladder back home in
    India. Its not easy working on an H1B. My marriage has suffered
    because my wife is unhappy that she cannot work, she's close to a
    breakdown, my health has suffered because of all the thinking, and my
    parents have sufferred because I have not been able to take care of
    them. I never have cried so much at my helplessness as I have cried in
    the last one year.

    One thing I have realized about the US is that it is no different than
    any country. Like any other country, the exploitable are always
    exploited. (The big companies are not willing to fight for the welfare
    of their employees. They fight to get more people into the country to
    exploit.) Like any other country, the only thing that gets politicians
    excited is money and votes. (Why do we need so money to lobby the
    politicians? Isn't freedom and justice reasons good enough?) Like any
    other country, it discriminates between the have and the have nots. It
    is a country that has no respect for people. (Ask anyone who goes for
    a visa stamping in the US embassy in India. I have seen old people and
    ladies with small kids spend hours in the hot Chennai Sun to enter the
    embassy for an appointment, just to be spoken rudely by the Visa
    office. There was not even a shelter outside to block the sun. I have
    never seen people turn into US haters so soon). It is a country that
    wants our brains, but is not willing to show a heart.

    Some people may argue that I have the freedom to quit my job and go
    back to my country. But that is not freedom enough. I want the freedom
    to choose when I want to go back. Its not easy to pack 8 years of your
    life in a jiffy. Its not easy to pack 8 years of your life into 2
    suitcases. Neither is it easy to restart your life in a different
    place, even if its your own. It reminds me of an Indian saying -
    "dhobi ka kutta - na ghar ka, na ghat ka". It means, a washerman's dog
    belongs neither to the house nor the river banks. Thats me in a
    nutshell, a "dhobi ka kutta."; a washerman's dog!!!

    ps: I love this country as much as I love my own. But I wish this country loved me back as well.

    One of my points: "loopholes" are NOT what we are here to fight against. Now, is the rest of your reply relevant?

    And anyone who irritates you is a troll. So be it. This troll is there to prevent nonsensical ideas

    All this will feed the anti's and true trolls. Why don't we focus on our objectives?
    Don't we?

    I posted long time back to stop this argument. You are the one keep posting the irrelavent informaiton.

    It sure seems that there a lot of frustrated people on a short fuse. Staying focused definitely helps because of both our limited resources and influence. One thing that should be considered though is the greater good. Lot's of things could help an individual's cause. If I had the power to change the law I would start of by issuing green-cards within a month of getting an H1-B. But I don't have the wishing well in my backyard. I wish one of us could locate one and that would be the end of all this confrontation!

    my two cents

    From Sept 2008 visa bulletin: "The Mexico F2A and Employment Third preference cut-off dates are “unavailable” for both August and September, since those FY-2008 annual limits have been reached. The Visa Office had originally anticipated that this would be a temporary situation. Then with the start of the new fiscal year in October the cut-off dates would have returned to those which had applied during June. However, continued heavy demand in those categories may require the establishment of cut-off dates which are earlier than those which had applied in June. A formal decision determination of the October cut-off dates will not be possible until early September."

    I think we must do something for EB3 category. BTW when is congress coming back from recess? Can we do something on the visa recapture bill??

    I don't think we can do 'anything' about EB3 I. We are 100% at the mercy of USA (politicians, USCIS, DOS or whoever).

    We can write letters, emails, fax, contribute to IV but nothing is gonna help. This is the fact!

    We are not going to get our GC when we need it but only when they give it. And, it is not going to happen anytime sooner.

    The options that we have in front of us (which would work for sure):

    1. Live with this. Don't come to any forum, don't think about VISA bulletin. Take your Gc when it comes to your doorstep. May be by then, we may not need it. We may be tired of being on the same job and GC may not bring any motivation to our career.

    2. Move over to EB2 - If possible, take all the pains of changing job, place of living, unpredictability in PERM queue and I140 queue and move over to EB2. But you never know. One of our Indian brothers might have just won a lawsuit to stop us from moving over!! In that sense, EB3 I is worst than illegals. Least wanted legals in the USA!!

    3. Get out of this country - Give up the American dream and come to reality and start a new dream. May be Canadian dream or Australian dream...

    We are stuck. And, nobody is going to help us. This is hard fact. Believe it.

    Wearing my optimist hat, the only thing I can think of is, whether IV supports it or not (reason I say this is - once we talk about this -the core is going to refer to poor 'high five' collection or 'low number of people calling congressmen' etc. Not blaming them. They have their own issues. For us, the problems are bigger. IV core will not do anything for EB3 I exclusive) some 50-100 EB3 I applicants should go to DC and meet high officials, CHC folks and every department that is influential to EB immigrant VISA and make them understand our plight. No guarantee that this would work. But, we will get a first hand response that may atleast help us to chose from one of 3 options listed above.

    Good job Admin2.

    Folks with ITINs,

    Please file for SSNs quoting this stimulus package and get the refund. If someone tries and SSA refuses, we can take it up with legislators or even pursue litigation.


    I will try with SSA and update you...may be next month.

    and in some cases as long as 20-25 years, before he or she can even get a Green Card,

    Pankaj, the writeup is spot on except for the above. I am not sure it takes anyone in the EB category, 20 years to get the GC. It may happen in the future if retrogression is not fixed.

    IMHO, it is important that we stick to facts when we write articles/op eds etc.

    I just spoke to a lady at USCIS and she told me they just started working on case receipts for July 2nd and onwards so in next couple of weeks most of you who filed in first week of july should see their receipts..this is what she told me and she sounded very authentic..


    I think they are all on same page. Entering all applications in their systems by monday and another8-10 days for all to get receipts makes it 2 weeks :)

    IV friends ,
    Last week my lawyer has asked for copy of Driving License of me and my wife for filing the H1-B and H4 extension.

    Then one of my friend told me that INS is asking for copy of the driving license for filing the h1-B extension.

    My employer is supposed to file my 3 year Extension based on I-140 in Dec this year( Dec 2007) but my Licences expires on Sept 2008, So I will I be just getting the extension till Sept 2008 and Not 3 year extension.

    Any Idea on that
    I have already submitted my driving license to my lawyer.
    Please Let me know because I was couting on that I will get 3 year extension this time :(

    I never heard this before. I got the 3 year extension after 6 years but I never submitted copy of Driving License. I don't think the extension has anything to do with Driving license expiry date. The extension effective date starts from your previous H1B expiry date.

    No. It is true to some extent that we are paying more taxes.

    Take my case for an example. My kid is not an American citizen. She moved with us when she was a baby and currently under H-4 status. So she could not obtain social security number that is good for "authorized to work". Without the SSN, we were not eligible for certain child tax credit, which was hundreds of dollars. I tried an ITIN but I got a formal response from IRS that the child still needs to have a SSN to be eligible for the credit.

    If you ever filed your tax return yourself and have a kid, you will know what I mean.

    just one correction:


    I do not think the above is true.

    Not to put any dampers here, but this is extremely frustrating for the EB3 India folks. I mean how freakin long do WE have to wait before we get our turn!

    Nothing against EB2 or other, at least let them enjoy the freedom.

    It is really frustrating, because of the mistake by the attorney or stupid company policy etc, people like us with pd 2001 etc waiting on EB3. In my case I had PG with 7 yrs exp when filing, but for the stupid lawyer and company policy. putting aside the original classification of categories, given the present scenario, Not sure what way EB2 is better than EB3
