Oh... the H1b worker who maintains the site got frustrated that his gc is going nowhere and went back to his home country.
DOS tried to update the system reflecting a big jump in the visa dates for May. The system was unused to any changes lately - leave aside such large forward movements - and as a result it crashed.
DOS managed to recover the system by replacing all date fields with character fields. The rumor is that the value for all those character fields is now "C", whatever that means.

I can understand your concerns. A few years back we had similar questions and concerns when my MIL travelled. She was old and had never travelled alone before. Could not speak any english either. We thought it was best for her to travel with wheelchair assistance and it worked good. She has travelled twice ( on lufthansa) with no issues.
One thing we did to help her was give a covering letter that she could present to the airline staff which would explain her needs if any while travelling. We also prepared and gave her several flash cards (one liners) written in both the local Indian language alongwith the English translation for her to communicate if she needs anything on the flight.
Non -verbal communication works well sometimes. It worked for us.

i think any form of protest will get u arrested.. rally is a diff thing... ppl have to realise all these immigration benefits are a privilege and not a right... its just so plain unlucky that so many of us with Master's Degree were forced to file in EB3.
Change of government is the only way. Bottom line is no one cares about us... cos we dont have a vote, we play the taxes, we pay SS/Medicare.. they know we will be here until we are forcefully pushed out....
P.S: before anyone starts a question asking what i have done.. I'm a responsible "immigrant" and have done and will do whatever i can

Just write to your state DOL and they will take care after that. You might have to provide some proof for them to start investigation. Make sure you have a plan B with regards to work and status if things go south.

IV Core Team - You have done a great job... No doubt about it.. I already said my sincere thanks to you guys in earlier post and would say it again - Thank You !!!!
BUT GUYS, dont you think we should thank USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez as well for honoring original July visa bulletin?
His comments from the bulletin sounds so honest
�The public reaction to the July 2 announcement made it clear that the federal government�s management of this process needs further review,� said Emilio Gonzalez, USCIS Director. �I am committed to working with Congress and the State Department to implement a more efficient system in line with public expectations.�
Everone is busy to appreciate work done by IV Core team, Zoe Lofgren, media and all IV team members.. But we are forgetting the man who signed off on the visa bulletin... without it, we wouldn't be celebrating...
Whatever happened on 07/02, it happened. I dont want to get into details of "why" the flipflop happened... But I sincerely thank Emilio Gonzalez for giving us the opportunity to file for I-485 with the old fee structure. Thank you, Sir.
I concur

I think you and many more members here are simply paranoid!
Do you think that after announcing that all applications will be rejected, USICS will just keep those applications indefinitely? Come on, we are dealing with a federal government agency here, not some mafia.
I have just thought of something (don't know that anyone discussed this in our forum), what if USCIS do not reject the cases filed for July and keep the packages back for few months or years, just saying...
a) Need to record each application that they have received
b) Need to make sure that there are no concurrent I-140 filings
c) Need to differentiate the packages received in June and July
d) Etc
e) Etc
What will happen to AILA' Plaintiffs? Can they sue just having FedEx/UPS tracking number and the updated visa bulletin?
What will happen to the folks applied on 1st July? They are not going to have AP and EAD in the future. Few of their visas may need renewal soon. How can the travel outside USA? I know there are lots more problems than this.....
What will happen, if Oct Visa Bulletin is moved to up to 2005 for all the EB categories and the people who have filed in July not received the packages back in the meantime?
Moreover, who knows, USCIS may not send the packages back for several weeks to avoid lawsuit. What will happen to the people who applied on 07/02?

If I don't receive a response from USCIS before Jan 15, can I work till I get the notice ? or my employer is required to terminate my employment on Jan 15 according to the recapture time as mentioned on application ?
Your employer should terminate you from the job on Jan 15, as you will not be authorized to work after that.
I would like to apply for B2 transfer so I can stay for 2 months and travel around US. I also own car, house, and a ton of personal belongings etc. My house is under water (I mean I have $390K loan left on the house which is probably worth $250K). I might have to take it into foreclosure and eventually file for Bankruptcy and the process might take anywhere between 3 months to 18 months in present situation. I plan to leave US with in 2 months as I want to complete the mandatory 1-year outside before I could be eligible for new H1 visa but I might have to come back multiple to US for legal purposes during foreclosure or bankruptcy. Can I request a long term B2 visa (like 2 or 5 year) ?
COS will get you max of 6 months of B2 - If you apply B2 at consulate in your home country, you *may* have a chance of getting multiple year/entry B2 visa.
If my employer does terminate my job on Jan 15 2010, how early should I file for B2 transfer ?
Make sure COS application reaches them before Jan 15th.
If my employer say that I can legally work till I get notice from USCIS, when should I file for B2 transfer ?
Dont work beyond the date requested in your H1B extension.
what are the typical costs of filing for H1b to B2 transfer ? (application fees, attorney fees etc.)
Minimum of 1K attorney fees....

These conversations are very good. In my experience recently one of my friend went on USA on H1B visa. On the time of stamping he faced some difficult in Chennai. But another friend got visa easily in Hyderabad. I think that for H1B visa Hyderabad is easy to get stamping.

Thanks for bringing his true nature in to limelight and americans will realize from this. This hypocrite always boasts himself as monk and tries to fool American people with covering his inner character.
This stinky ba%^#@rd speaks loud and confuses American people a lot with out giving the clear picture of broken legal immigration and with out mentioning the pain of long waiting legal immigrants. He always mixes legal with illegals and confuses all with his border protection preachings and with out respecting business immigration.

Brownback rescinds immigration bill support
http://washingtontimes.com/national/20070425-110212-8486r.htm
Look at this story. Sen Brownback, who supported last year senate passed CIR, now turning back. Sen. McCain already back off.
"I would not vote for the same bill," Mr. Brownback told reporters yesterday morning, saying that after the bill passed the Senate he had a chance to study its effects and decided it led to too much immigration.
It's a major reversal for a man who is listed as one of seven original sponsors of the bill, along with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, and Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, who spearheaded the bill.
I agree with Logiclife. This is a news article and gcretroiv should have posted it in the News Article Thread. This way forum members can read it and it does not stick out as bad as it is right now.

With retrogressio to last for years, I am also planning to pursue MBA. But again with IT experience , getting first MBA break is crucial.
Does anyone have idea, whether executive MBA or Part-Time MBA is better with following things in mind:
1) Being able to do it while working full time.
2) Career prospects after finishing

refiling perm and 140 may be to help you promote from eb3 to eb2 category and still let you keep the old PD.
Also, refiling could be required if your job categories are changing. from technical to managerial or so.

Hi All
Just wanted to share my exp as I had been to Biometric appointment yesterday.
I had an appointment @ 9:00 AM and my wife had it @ 12:00 PM...I reached at 8:15 AM and requested the staff if my wife could get her biometric done with me instead of waiting till 12:00 ...she refused....inspite of having only a handful of people she said she will only take her by 12:00 PM.....
I had my biometric done in 1 min...they took the application, asked me to confirm my name , took index finger print , took a snap and I was done....same thing for my wife....total time for both biometric 2 mins...wait 3 hrs....
Also intrestingly my wife had received an RFE for her EAD renewal.....guess what the RFE would be ???? I could not believe when I received the letter....the RFE letter was mailed on Aug 8th ..I received it in AUg 12th...it said that USCIS has not yet received my wife's biometric information and hence her case has been put in hold......the second page said pls provide the date of bimoetric appointment, ASC code , QA Review by -------- on ----------- and confirmation number if any....
Luckily for me our Appt was on Aug 13th...so I took the letter with me and showed it to the lady at the centre and she filled it out....but had a received the letter a day later...I had no clue what the heck to fill in QA review by ------ on -------- section....
What is more ridculuos is USCIS sends in the letter that they can see that biometric has not been done and hence they put my wife's case on hold.....they can very well see that the appointment is on Aug 13...so why send a letter to me asking when the Appointment is ????
What a waste of time and money....and the bigger implication is people who r working on EAD and who desparately need the EAD renewed in time have to unnecessarily go thorough the agony of having their application put in hold till the response is sent..when time is so crutial. If this unnecessary delay causes the EAD renewal to take more that 90 days, it is again the risk of loosing employment or salary for the applicant....
Anyways, I have filled out and mailed the respose to RFE today and hopefully they should process the application now...
Thought I should share my exp for all those who may receive same letters in the future......Hope this helps....
