Dear All,
We need to expose the fraudulent EB1 filing by Indian companies! Under the circumstances, I think that this issue is much more relevant now! As such, I would once again like to share the information which I obtained about 6 weeks back from the local Congressman's office.
I was pleasantly suprised to learn that many Indians have been quietly writing about the fraudulent EB1 filing by Indian IT companies to lawmakers! I was told that the local office had received about 50 or so signed (hard copy) letters and that they had subsequently spoken to the INS office about this. It is a good thing that some conscientous Indians are quietly working behind the scenes for the welfare of the community.
Subsequently, I also made a letter on the subject and hand delivered the same the very next day, to the Congressman's office. I then also posted my letter to the Senators of my state.
I once again plead with all fellow EB Indian friends to write letters (please do not Email) about the fraudulent EB1 filings by Indian IT companies (TCS, CTS, L&T-IT, Infosys, Vetri software, et al) to your local congressman / senators. Please also visit your lawmakers to follow up. Personally, I feel that this very very important. IV is there to help us, but all of us must also play a role to get results
It is the strategy that will win the war, not always brute force! We should adopt a multi-pronged attach strategy, realising that each ever visa no. we get is important!
Spending about an hour of your time to write, print, sign and post could save many atleast 2 years of wait time. Did your realize this?
Imagine the impact of 1000s of covers getting dumped in your law makers' offices!
Even lawmaker's offices feel that the impact of printed and signed hard copies is much higher that Emails!
If we are united and focused, we can all win!
GOD bless the EB Community!!!
Can you update your profile for a better EB community statistics?

Don't know what more drama has USCIS has up its sleeves.
You better contact your congressman and senator and get it sorted out....
It is absolutely nonsense that you are approved and then not...same can be true for many of us.....attach a copy of the visa bulletin in your mail....IO can;t just say visas retrogressed they need to show the proper paperwork ...

Suppose they reject the 485 app on July 2nd after they receive it then will they cash our checks or just return them to us.
No...I don't think they will encash your check!

After all my research the bottom line personal opinion is: If you file multiple I485s, you should expect delays. Sometimes it can be a lot more than you can imagine if you get multiple A#s, file gets transferred in different service centers, you try to do interfiling between applications etc etc. Basically the more complicated you try to make your case, the more difficulty you may face trying to find out it status and adjudication.
Many lawyers strongly recommend against filing multiple applications and that is for a reason. Multiple applications is also an additional expense. You need to weigh the pros and cons and do what suits you best.

Can she go back immediately after filing I-485 to come back in August.

Yes, she can go to India once she filed her I-485.

One idea is to give GC to AOS applicants regardless of namecheck result, if all
other security checks are OK and let the namecheck run in background . If the namecheck turns out critical , cancel the GC & deport the applicant.
But USCIS and lawyers will loose big time , because of reduced demand for APs,EADs etc.
Lets add this in IV action Item.

[QUOTE=Das73]It's always a good practice to take a receipt notice of any action done by your lawyer & keep that for your records.
When you apply for EAD, soon USCIS will ask you to do fingerprints(BIO-2). I think you missed that part and it might be denied or void as it was left for so long!
You can file for new EAD online at https://efiling.uscis.dhs.gov/efile/InteractionMgr?interactionmgr.interaction=SetupEfo rms×tamp=1127234762990
Create your account & you can file your self with out lawyer's assistance. It's always suggested to file EAD(I-765) & AP(I-131) jointly. You can pay by credit card.
(1) After applying online, you will receive 'Receipt notices' of EAD & AP.
(2) Now a days USCIS will set up an apointment for BIO-2 of EAD.
(3) You have to send supportive documents for Advance Parole, like photos,brief explanation of qualifying for AP...I can give you those sample formats !
Coming to I-485 BIOMETRICS, call USCIS & ask them about BIO. Go to this website & register https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp. You must add I-485,EAD,AP & I-140 receipt numbers like LINXXXX and you will get emails when they get approved. You can also see the changes on 'LAST UPDATED' column, which means your case is touched by an officer. But it's not the confirmation of approval until status message has changed or you got an email.
Go thru these 2 links & familiarize well. Hope your I-140 has approved. Finally these are suggestions only & I am not a lawyer. Consult an immigration lawyer if you have uncanny issues.
Goo Luck.

Thank you for your reply Mr.Das
1) My I 140 was approved
2) I just got my Bio appointment and i am all set with that. i received 1 week after the appointment date but we just walked in and got Bio with out any problem.
3) MY EAD is the only problem
As i mentioned it has been almost 2 years and its still pending. i gave my biometrics at that time and i received my AP for me and my husband. My husband (dependent) got ead but not me :confused:

Yes. No one has bothered to go after DOS for misinterpretting the AC21 rule in allocating immigrant visa. Many people (EB2-India) raised their concern between 2003 and 2006, as DOS is not correctly following the rule and allowed the spillover to go EB3, when EB2 was in high demand particulrly from India. Even IV core did not go after DOS. As you mentioned, lawyers has no incentives. EB3 has enjoed between 2000 to 2006 (from the mercy of DOS). For example in 2006, EB2 got about 25,000 visas abot 20,000 visas (from EB2)has gone to EB3-ROW.
IV from my interpretation is about ending retrogression and increasing total visa numbers and not about reallocation of visas and spending resources on a zero sum game. This issue should have been taken up by affected individuals. I'm sure they did it though because DOS has awakened to the fact that they were not following the law.

Because you still need a visa to enter the USA (though you have an H-1B approval) and application for the visa abroad is not always easy.

EB-2 Movement in May
April 5
Will EB-2 India will advance "substantially" in May?
There are 18,000 persons with EB-2 priority dates in 2006 who are waiting for green cards, 13,000 of them from India.
Given the 7% country quota, we expect the India EB-2 to move forward in May between 2 weeks and 2 months.
* This is seems to be completely different from what they claimed "substantial" before.....:confused:
And their news page has also changed to reflect this "modest" movement (previously it stated - "the movement will not be weeks or months but could be years")
On both extremes, it's nothing but just an attempt to generate traffic to the website I guess.
Interesting that he claims - the modest movement will be because of the 7% country cap. In my understanding, it does not apply when spiilover happens (plz correct me if I am wrong)

It's your company's responsibility to make you aware about your dependent's status too.I worked for a small desi company for sometime and they lied that My wife doesn't need H4 extension because she is dependent on me.Fortunately I came out of that company.
javadeveloper - it is your company's responsibility (more likely their immigration attorney)to keep you informed of YOUR status, but it is YOUR responsibility for your dependants. Sure, the smart attorney is going to want to take care of all of the paperwork at once when filling for extensions etc as it's less hassle for them - but that doesn't absolve you from that responsibility.
Had it happen to a friend - his wife and kids had to leave the country, get new visas and H4's and were away for 7 months. Missed nearly a year of school simply because his new company weren't informed of tehm when he swicthed jobs

They are very active when compared to us to stop this bill
I think we need to act more. Rather than calling then again and again and irritate them,
I think we should start the flowers campain again
1. Where ever possible we need to educate our american fellow workes and people in these forums that this bill is about
a. People already working in US
b. They is no possibility to they will loose their jobs
c. We already live here
d. By increasing H1B is the real trouble for the American Citizens not GC
