Hi all,
Thanks for the responses and sorry for Confusions..
I am giving the scenario more clearly..
My name Before mariz is"Venkata Naga Sunita" surname: "Prachina" (changed identity).
After mariz surname changed to "Naveena".
When I applied for H4 alongwith my husband's H1B, I had my passport with old surname(Prachina). That passport got stamped for H4. Later I got another passport with surname changed(Naveena). At this point, I have one passport of old surname with H4 stamp and another passport with new surname.
While entering into US this January, on I-94, I wrote "Venkata Naga Sunita" Last name: "Naveena". In March, DMV ppl told me that the name in the I-94 should match with Visa". When, I applied for H1B in May with this new surname and attached this I-94 that has new surname "Naveena".
During H1B processing, I had to visit my home country on emergency purpose and got approval of H1B on Sept 7th, which is valid only from Oct 2nd. I re-entered to US on Sept10th and wrote my last name as "Prachina" on I-94(to match with current H4 Visa with which I am entering US). When I recived my papers this week, I was happy to see that my Change of Status is approved and surprised to see that my name on the I-797 and attached I-94 is printed as "Sunita V" Last Name:"Naveena".
Now, the I-94 number and name that are present on my I-797 are not matching that are attached to my passport. Is this OK or going to create any problems in future(SSN or stamping)..
This is better to understand :
I think you have two situations here :
1. When you entered the US , you gave a name as "Prachina" instead of "Naveena" , why did you do this ?
2.INS Made a mistake on the 797 , this you ask them to correct . Also you have so many names in your nake that it's very uncommon. The computers don't have four fields to put your name ..thus your actual last name got replaced.....
Again all said, please refer an attorney in this matter.

USCIS officially released the information that total I-485 applications which were related to July VB fiasco before August 16, 2007 were 320,000. During the period, the USCIS received 400,000 anxillary applications (EAD and AP), and substantial number of concurrent I-140 petitions. All of these figures added upto 800,000. For the USCIS verification of this information, please Q&A between the USCIS and AILA as part of the Community Relations meeting on September 25, 2007. This has been made available today.

Good to see "good news." It will take many many years for our dates to become current if there is no change in the law. So yes, it appears like some positive news, but without law being changed we are screwed anyway.

You put it in excellent words. Hopefully we see more diversity in future &
concerted effort to get to it.
The IV is about issues/problems of employment based immigrants, and the goal is to get support as much as possible from every corner in this country to further the cause. Everyone who supports this cause fit in to some category (within legal limits - pro, anti, this group, that lobby, this ethincity, that nationality, etc.), and that does not mean we are promoting something or have preferences for a group. In my opinion any support (with in the legal framework) to the cause of IV from any corner in this country is welcome and should be appreciated.

I wanted to get an idea how many EB2 guys would be willing to visit DC to meet lawmakers to help out our EB3 brothers. Unquestionably all EB3 should be willing to visit. This is the chance to show that IV is indeed one.
Refering to this thread

So, obviously, you are not expecting any EB3 I to vote, right?
Or do you want EB3 I also to vote?

I knew that slowly the antis are gaining more and more strength as a result the noose is getting tighter and tighter around us (and will eventually reach our neck). I didn�t expect this fast:
Texas change in driver�s license laws in last 6 months:
1) We knew that instead of the usual 6 years expiry date, they now want to see proof of visa documents and the expiry date is set to the expiry of the visa document.
2) If visa document is expiring less than 6 months, then we CANNOT get a drivers license.
Driver�s license laws - Latest Changes:
1) The driver�s license that all non-citizens will get will be Vertical and NOT the usual horizontal. This license looks very different than the conventional Texas DL and it also has to ominous word �temporary visitor�. I was okay with word being mentioned, but making the drivers license look so different from normal (vertical and not horizontal is taking it too far). I am worried about possible discrimination everywhere wherein we show our IDs.
2) Chance of Address not possible online: Previously, its only during license renewal, you had to get that new unique non-citizen card. Now, they are not allowing even change of address online! The website says, we don�t qualify for change of address online as well. This means that even for change of address, we have to go to the DL office and surrender of our old good unexpired DLs.
Any inputs? Texans? Others? What have been your experiences? In other states, can you change your address online without any hassle?

Hello All,
My take: these talk radio hosts cannot do anything for our cause. They spend all the time in radio. Only lobbying works and that too a focussed effort. Our focus must be in getting the message across to the Judiciary Commitee members, then as many senators as possible. Next step will be with the house members and this is the most difficult task.
IV is doing this and the results are there in the form of amendments. On another track, Sen Cornyn has introduced a good point in his SKIL bill Section 402. This I am sure is the result of letter from someone affected by retrogression / backlog.
So, we can get results only by presenting our problems directly to Senators and Congressman.

I think the new name check change, will help the system work FIFO.
This is what the system is intended to do.
Also, as time goes by, this will make the PD more transparent, so instead of having dreams and making wild guesses, there can be somewhat logical guessing.
I know it is not possible as it is USCIS and anything can be true.
But i am really happy for people with older PD's who have been struck with FBI Name checks.
Please help IV with the letter campaign and also lets get together and try to make the system more transparent and open.
GO IV GO. TOGTHER WE CAN.

this is what I received from my legal..
----
The USCIS and any law enforcement officers have the right to ask you to present your registration document at any time. You should carry proof of your lawful status (such as your valid I-94 card, your green card, or your passport with I-551 stamp) with you at all times. If for any reason this is not possible, you should at least carry a copy of your registration documents.
CAUTION: Failure to carry proof of registration (such as your I-94 card or green card) is a criminal misdemeanor and is punishable by a fine not to exceed $100, imprisonment not to exceed 30 days, or both. In addition, if you willfully fail or refuse to apply for your registration document, you may be convicted of a misdemeanor that carries a fine of up to $1000, or imprisonment of up to six months, or both.
----
So it looks like we should atleast have a copy of the gc (shoved up our ...) and present it when asked by a law enforcement officer. Otherwise be ready to go to jail for 30 days.

I wonder if this is one of the rogue users from another forum. this is tiring to post everyday, but here are IVs acheivements:
Of course no one is forcing you to donate, you can just go around complaining, accusing and attacking everyone for the next 10 years instead.
Dude, I have also donated to IV but i am not sure why that "donor" doesn't come next to my name. I wish everyone donates atleast $25 to support IV and for you "tonyHK12" stopping being a Jerk and accusing people as being attackers (when you don't know about anyone), if you need to encourage people to donate start a new thread and direct people to the new thread.

My plan is making the following
Movie - A full length feature with characters that represent our life (includes H1 to GC process) in US with humor
Documentary - A professional documentary on our issues like H1 quota problems, GC backlog processing etc.
As most Americans are not aware of employment based GC, I think a professional documentary makes more sense than a full length movie. (I wonder why Michael Moore didn't attempt this before :rolleyes:)
Portraying the GC limbo of skilled immigrants to Americans on a full length comedy movie would be like explaining Einstein’s “Theory of Relativity” in cartoon to a bunch of ditsy blondes. Infact, a few movie critics who might have vaguely understood the movie would comment like "Two thumbs up for an honest, emotional, funny and deeply moving portrait of ILLEGAL immigration” :)

IV is not an Indian organization. If this is one of the reasons why few non-indian members are not making donations then please re-consider your decision and start donating.
Also let us not dillute our fight by expanding the fight to include other problems. Once we achieve desired results, we can continue to pick up other problems and lead the fight.
--sri
As a non-indian joining IV lately, I feel IV is more an indian organization. I had communication with one of the moderators (core members of IV) and he clearly stated that retrogession is in IV's agenda, but FBI name check is not in IV's agenda as an organization. How come retrogession which is mostly a problem for indian immigrants in the agenda of this organization, but FBI name check which is a problem for most nationalities not in the agenda of this group(maybe with the exception of Europeans)? There are over 100 members at a yahoo group, and some more registered at an immigrationportal forum with common problem of FBI name check, cases delayed for 1, 2, 3 or more years because of name check. The registered use names suggest that there are from all over the world, yet no core members of IV is caring about this matter with the exception of one person who scheduled a conference call with an attorney in PA, but did not help any more. Sorry about my humble sincere feeling.

1) First thing is, the I-94 on COS approval and I-94, currently present in my Passport does not match.
2) First name and middle name are interchanged in the passport and H1 approval.
Is this going to create any problem while applying SSN? What are the possible consequences..
Also, any similar scenarios, plz respond..
First, I do not think there will be any one with similar scenarios!
The names on the two I-94s do not match because you used the old name when entering the country. <-- your fault. DMV is not an authority on immigration. My best guess is that the newer I-94 prevails.
First Name and Middle Name got interchanged because of USCIS error. You should contact them and get this resolved. They will probably send you a new approval notice with a new I-94.
Its better to be safe than sorry. You should get the name corrected asap.

In the present situation i believe it would take around 1.5 years to 2 years if you start by preparing for labor and by the time you get your labor and new I-140.
If you ask me about audit, its better i don't scare people, i started this porting process in Jun 07 by applying labor and it got audited after a long wait it got denied, my lawyer filed an appeal and we waited for 10 months still no answer so we applied for withdrawal even that took long time and finally applied for new labor in Apr 09.. so don't get scared it doesn't happen to everyone.. maybe 1 in million case :)
Ivar, thanks for the info. I am thinking of applying for porting now.How long does it typically take to process. Also was there any audit you are aware of that came for your case?
I do not have master's degree but I have 10+ years of experience and my job requirements are also for managing a team etc.
