Just to state some examples: Several of members probably took CFA level II and III exams in June 2008 and the results were out today. These things further increase cohesion among the people as they share more ground than simply being an immigrant.

Probably we should add a new forum on non-immigration matters.. and then create sub-forums like.. Education, Certifications, Socializing and so on... and then people can post under these subforums..

1) these threads should not appear on main/home page under top threads.. otherwise IV will lose focus on immigration matters
2) there should be a section on main page to "non-immigration" forum...

just my 2cents.. there can be more & better ways to approach and regulate this..

But for sure this would be a great idea... Probably a "Jokes" or "Feel Light" sub forum also...

BTW, what's scary about this memo..

Infact, I find it encouraging, that TSC is trying to facilitate the process one way or other, given their system deficiency.

Why do you care for Reds... and what is the guy who gave you a red losing..! Understand that first

Another moron sent this above

I dont care, its funny to think losers got so much time to do this

Hi guys,
I wonder if anyone noticed that. I am a July 2nd filer and my priority date is not current and long will not be. But I noticed many many LUDS on my I485 and no change in messages. Has anyone noticed that too?

My LUDS: 9/7, 9/11, 10/3(after FP), 12/10, 12/11, 12/15, 12/18.....

I wonder what is happening....


Same here! my PD is 09/04 ROW, June 5th filer, got an LUD on 12/10 when my case was transferred to National Benefits Center and then two more soft LUDs on 12/15 and 12/18.

ashkam - Thanks alot for the info....my case is "If your job (description, location and salary) remains same or similar under the new company"...still i don't understand why my attorney says to start all over again.

I feel like packing up and go back home ...this country's immi system is all messed up...not sure i can mentally handle it anymore :(

Spend $200 dollars for a 15 min conversation with any of the top attorneys. Your confusion will be laid to rest.

Just send your questions and all required details to them ahead of time and also write down all possible follow up questions for yourself so that both parties are prepared before the call.

If they say you have to start afresh, then you can consider packing your bags. Good luck!

hi,
i am same as u r case.
u HAVE TO request your attorney or u r self should raise a service request and take infopass to start the processing case..unless u do something about it..they wont apply eb3 PD to EB2 pd autaomatically..they dont ahve any tracking system to do it..
U have to fight for it..and raise service requests etc..

I would also recommend to go through an attorney as the cost is not worth to lose your status...

Update:

My lawyer just received AP docs.

nviren: usually they go to lawyer address (as per other users).

Good luck.

Similar Question:
I have not left the USA for the last 5 years. I have since extended my H1- thrice. So I have 3 new I-94's and the old one that is stapled in the passport. I-94 is taken at the airport when you depart, to record your departure and also to see if you were residing legally on a valid stay. Question: They always take the one stapled in your pasport. (That in my case shows an expired stay.) so should I give them the latest I-94 when I depart?.

when you get an extension of stay you will have same number for all of them.

Read in my post in the first page of this thread. I changed the last stop so it would be easier to understand and do.

I believe for my step to work you need to have the tool next to the marquee tool activated (the selection tool? I forget what it is called)

http://www.thedegreepeople.com/eb-petition.html

So go ahead on sign in the petition. Dont know how far it goes but atleast it does something good.

Hello Attorney,
.......
.......
What quota do dependents of Employment based AOS(I-485) LEGALLY fall into - is it the EB quota or FB quota?

If incorrectly classified? Is there any legal option this mis-classification be corrected?

Thanks a lot in advance for your time.


It is 30 days since the posting of this question, and not a single reply from any attorney.

Let me repeat my understanding on this question -

----------------------------------------------------------------------
INA 203(d) Treatment of family members

A spouse or child as defined in subparagraph (A), (B), (C), (D), or (E) of section 1101(b)(1) of this title shall, if not otherwise entitled to an immigrant status and the immediate issuance of a visa under subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this section, be entitled to the same status, and the same order of consideration provided in the respective subsection, if accompanying or following to join, the spouse or parent.

This means that if the primary beneficiary is using visa number from EB(2) classification then dependent(s) will also be using the same classification as primary beneficiary (i.e. EB(2) in this example).
--------------------------------------------------------------

Have a good day!

That's Great! Glad it worked out.

Cheers!!

Again I say Rest in peace CIR forever. I was never for it

I know it is a loss in priority date. But my point is: "does fighting with the lawyer, give him his time back?" In fact by that he is loosing his valuable time and energy further.

If there is "ANY" method to get his "LC" approved with the same priority date, I totally agree he should do that.

That is what I mean by "focus on your goal". If your goal is to fight with lawyer for a cause, just do it. You will at least feel happy that you did the right thing, whatever you felt right.

If a lawyer made the mistake and you complain, then at least you will save others like you. One should stop being selfish or scared.
Will you keep quiet if someone robs you or does you harm. Will you at that time think you will lose your time and energy if you report it to cops?

I want to say that I have seen a lot of people blaming lawyers for their problems in immigration. This maybe false too. These lawyers are also doing their jobs. Just because you did not get a good service does not mean they maybe bad. Why did you choose them in the first place. You should have done your due homework first and if you were not satisfied you could have fired them too. And if they are bad, then go and complain to authorities. Do not be scared and listen to people who scare you. You live in a country that has laws and a system.

Thanks Surabhi......So does my assumption correct in terms of the percent tax an employer pays which is between 8 to 12% depending on the state he is operating which inlcudes all the components you mentioned except the payroll company fee(i,e ADP or intuit or etc)? The reason I ask this is b'coz I am also planning to work on W2.

Yes. Your understanding is correct
