Guys, If we try something its not gonna hurt us. If we don't try we may have lost an opportunity. The least that this dude can do for us is listen and then we can follow up.
I insist, again, lets talk abt soc. sec treaty. With thousands of us having together millions in that account, the US gov. will have to do something. Remember-its our money- the US govt. cannot deny it if asked by The Indian govt. IF they wanna keep it, better give us our GCs!

Man, you are so crazy about opening so many threads for the same topic. You cannot force people to send letters. And by this time those who wants to send letters had already sent to WH and IV. Give us some break. I come to IV site to get some information on immigration issues and what I get are 'n' numbers of threads for same issue. ---- ADMIN FIX.......
These are the active threads I found on the front. Let put our energy on different things and get move to other issue, other than sending letters. If you want to be moderator or something else in IV contact PAPPU directly.

We all know why U and me visit the site, Information. And in the process if you find any thing not so important to you, just ignore and move on...did this thread of asking to send letters made other threads invisible?
Just to piss u off, i am requesting again to all the folks to send letters.

The statements that were enclosed with the checks received from Insurance Company shows deduction of OASDI and Medicare taxes but not Federal and State taxes. When we contacted the Insurance Company asking for a tax statement we were told that they have mailed all the statements to the employer and they should include in the W2 statement. Upon knowing from the Insurance Company, we wrote an email to the HR asking for a corrected W2. The HR replied that we can report those wages even without a W2 from the company and later she replied saying she didn't received any statements from the Insurance Company and also they have changed the payroll company and so they can no longer issue a new one.
We are based in NY. We also called IRS to confirm if we are suppose to pay taxes on those income. The IRS officer said it should be included in the W2 and have asked to wait until 02/15. The insurance premiums nor the cost-plus-fees for the sick pay (maternity disability) were paid by us.
There is a bold note on the statements saying:
1) The tax information must be reported on year-end w-2 forms
2) Federal Law HR4331 states that all disability payments will be subject to the Social Security Tax for the first six (6) months only
3) This tax has been deducted from your payment in compliance with this law

I know this topic has been discussed in other threads as well and those threads got buried over the Period of time but this is getting beyond limit now - let me know if anyone has any good idea or if we can do anything together......
My PD is EB3 Mar 2005 and my 140 is applied in EB3 May 2007. at NSC (Nebraska) Its been 13 months and no signs of movement and no one is helping . Here what I did on a personal level and here is what i heard.
a) Contacted USCIS - they said contact employer/lawyer because they are the beneficiary.
b) Contacted Lawyer - they said 'Pls wait for some more time' & then ask employer.
c) Contacted Employer - they said that we can't push lawyers unless your case is passed 2 months from Processing Date update.
d) Contacted Local Congressman - Told them that the Processing Date update is a farce and USCIS (NSC) moves them back n forth just to save their Face. This is really unfair for a certain category of peoples. They took my case no. and inquired and then said that since you have a parallel H1B and a job - we would wait. If your existence in US comes on the Line then we will Jump in and help you. We are sorry but we can't really expedite unless a emergency comes.
Now tell me folks what other options we all have - NSC is just messing with EB3 140. Whatever is the workload this can not happen. Do we still have some options to work on (apart from sitting idle and pray) ?

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
Where are you located?. East bay?

i sent something like you have desribed in option 1 for my evl rfe. my lawyer drafter it and the only legalese reference was : [please continue his process] "as per section" yada yada yada "of the American Competitivenes in the 21st century Act".
Hi,
My attorney received an EVL RFE for my I-485 case. My PD is 2007 EB3 so I don't have any hope of getting GC but I guess they are just pre-adjucating my case.
Here is my situation - I filed my !-485 in Aug 2007 and changed job (without filing any AC-21 paperwork with USCIS) in April 2008. My attorney had looked at new job description and given green signal for change. My entire immigration history of 10 years in US is totally clean with no gaps and with all work autorizations.
Now, my concern is that the letter that my attorney has prepared for my current employer to sign has lot of legal lingo (AC-21 language, lot of CFRs, info related to my LCA and I-140) and has some language to the effect of supporting my LCA and I-140 till my GC is approved. It also states that my current employer was able to afford to pay my salary since the LCA date. My employer is fortune 5 company so money wise there is no problem but my concern is that they may not want to sign such a lengthy (wordy) legal doc without consulting their Immi attorney. I don't have much time to respond (only 8 more days). So if my employer takes long time or tells me that they can not sign it, I want to be ready with Plan B. Can someone suggest what should I do?
1 - should I prepare a simple document with job duties, responsibilities, start date, salary etc that my employer will be willing to sign. So at last moment I can atleast get that signed. Something will be better than nothing.
2 - Should I / (bigger question is can I) ask USCIS to give me more time to respond to RFE?
3. Provide simple letter from employer with an affedavit or something stating that the new job is same / similar as the old job.
Sorry for a long post and thanks for any suggestions.

My priority date is EB3 (August 2005). Last week her status changed to following. The thing is I checked with my lawyer & my employer and both said that they never received any RFE or never responded anything for my wife to USCIS.
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed.
On July 24, 2008, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case is at our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.
This is not similar to the Op's case. Your case was transferred to the texas processing center because that center processes all cases from the north east or the eastern state, the op's case was transferred to a local uscis office,

I have been a client of ron Gothcher for the past 4 years. He and his staff are the most professional of any lawyers I have dealt with in the past (I have dealt with a desi and a chinese lawyer before). He always encourages you to call and talk to him if you have any questions. He personally answers any question you have without hurrying. I very highly recomend him.

Oh, so when you made the statement below you were not assuming everyone fakes their projects because YOU fakes yours? All of a sudden you became this guy that has never faked his resume! From your statement anyone would assume that you are not the guy you are claiming to be - genuine!
As an architect i participate in interviews of dozens of people all the time for all positions in my teams and I know how they fake resume's. Anyway enough of this .. there is no point in responding to this diatribe..apparently you have too many frustations
have a great day

TV25,
1) You were in H4 at first when U came to this country.
2) Then you were sponsored(H1) by some company.
3) you worked for 3 months.
4) went overseas to get stamped(visa) for H1. But they put you on hold for administrative process.
5) You decided to return with H4 visa that was valid at that time. (although technically you are not supposed to enter using H4 since you already started working on H1)
6) You came back to US on H4.
7) Get a letter from USCIS that h1 is denied.
What surprised me the whole time was, why did the consulate not cancel the existing H4 visa, since your status already changed?
That's the first thing they do, when you go for visa stamping...they cancel without prejudice, and issue a new visa....even if its going thru a administrative process, they would still cancel it, cause the assumption is you are going to get the new visa once the process is complete.

Ramba,
What if I am working as a contractor with a govt agency. The agency offers me a job but salary would be 10K less than my current salary, but with better benefits. However still new salary is more than what is required to pay for similar job at that place i.e. if a company is filling for a new H1B. (the prevailing wage at new location for that job classification at that position/level)
Now in this case, if the salary is 10K less than what is specified in my I-140, will I hear any music from CIS? This is not hypothetical, but real dilemma I am facing.
If both job (old and new) in same area, and new salary is "considerably" less than old salary, then it may be an issue. But it may be overcome, provided if you know the prevailing wage determination (not salary) of old job. Lets say if the PW for a level-3 engineer for your old job 50K at a particular county, and I-140 salary in your old job is 70K, and if you port to new job with new salary as 60K in same county, then it should not be an issue. Again, if USCIS does not buy this, you need to dispute. It needs extensive lawyering with DOL wage survey as a proof.

Think that the Democrats and Republicans in Congress will never be able to agree about immigration policy? Better think again! When I started working as an immigration attorney, Jerry Ford was the President of the United States. Over the past 35 years, I have seen the two parties unite to pass dozens of immigration laws. Yes, I know the parties are so divided on the issue of what to do about the 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. that they couldn't even get together a few weeks ago to pass the DREAM Act. However, when it comes to reforming...

I keep on hearing about cases of 2000 and before. Good luck to your friend. I am with PD Sep 2001 and I am too mentally prepared to wait for more years..:D
I recently came across an old friend of mine. I was shocked to hear his case. He is an original applicant EB3 India with PD of September 1998. Please note he is the original applicant and this is not labor substitution.
Here are the details
Sep 1998 : Applied with Texas Workforce Commision as regular Non RIR.
Oct 2001: TWC asked to do recruitment. No action was taken on submitting results.
October 2006 : Labor finally approved from Dallas BEC. Concurrently file I 140 and I 485.
Jan 2007 : I 140 approved.
Nov 2007: Took Infopass appointment. Was told case pending name check.
This case is absolutely amazing. My friend doesnt care anymore since he recently married US citizen (genuine case ABCD). He has worked at the same company since 1998 and stuck to stupid job (non IT). My PD is August 2001 and seeing his case I am getting mentally prepared for much much longer wait.
Thanks
