As a US Educated Master and originally EB2 filer. I think this is one of the most stupid action ever within the EB community. So you think we are not weak enough and want to divide us more?

We should write a letter to USCIS director & DOS(Oppenheim) copying Rep Lofgren etc. basically the content should say that any unused visa should be given to the oldest PD irrespective of Country/Category...

VO doesnt keep your passport if a via not issued at the time of the interview . He gives it back after the interview. Once you receive the email , you have to go the VFS office and then had in the passport.
I guess this is specific to Mumbai only .. for all other post in India, the consulate/embassy keeps the PP ...
Am planning to visit India during Apr-May time and wondering how to take care of the situation ... seems DHS/DOS/DOL/USCIS/Who ever implemented a process without having the proper infrastructure in place ... and again they take us for granted ... with limited number of vacation days in hand if we stuck because of the PIMS, this will be a difficult situation to handle ..
How the Kolkata consulate doing on this aspect ... can anyway share their experience there ...
Happy new year friends ...

I can understand your frustation. I am not sure, but at times I feel if all the pushing and prodding we have done has pi$$ed off USCIS. I mean, what would it take for them to approve or look at our cases ? What am I missing?
I had infopass this morning. The IO was rude and repeated everything I knew. He even said I became current only last month, did I expect to be approved in less than a month? When I told him that pretty much everybody who was curret (and after me) had been approved, he told me how does that matter? I wanted to ask him, what happened to my number in the queue and following the rules of the game?? Last year, USCIS went by receipt date, and not PD. What are they going by this year??
Thanks for providing the address, I will drop in a mail to Secretary Napolitano.
Hang in there and have a good weekend.

I just wrote a letter detailing my frustrations and attached with it the documents. I don't think the call was anything big deal.....it was more a courtesy call an image improving call...we were not told anything that we didn't know already.....USCIS always raised more questions than answering them.......
The address is:
To reach the Secretary
Secretary Janet Napolitano
Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528
Today, I again talked to TSC POJ again the same thing I can issue Biom notice for you too..I asked is it possible that the adjudicating IO is on vacation or (well I didn't ask "dead" or "alive" she 'd cut the phone...she said she can send an email to the IO that I am concerned.....I said plz do....not even sure if she will do that....my faith in USCIS is dwindling since day 1..

It was just a minor adjustment to make room for expenses towards advocacy day.
Those who came to the advocacy event on April 4th,5th, like me, and saw the amount of money and efforts that go into reserving a conference room in a hotel next to the Capitol Hill for 4 days, printing out thousands of documents, inviting staffers/congressmen for meetings, arranging an elaborate reception for them, preparing advocacy packets for close to 400 meetings etc etc. I am amazed how IV is even able to afford the expenditures with the relatively small number donors that it has.
Kudos to IV-Core and the volunteers.
This needs to be advertised on the forums here or on the home page. Most people don't know what IV's expenses are.
A generic breakdown of costs, without going into specifics, would help members understand the expenses and provide some transparency.
It may even motivate new members to contribute more :)

Does anyone know if vonage can be used as a phone card. Say if you want to make an international call from your cellphone using vonage account.
I dont think they have the calling facility with the reference to vonage account.....I have chatted with customer rep and he confirms me the same....this was few days back...not sure now...if any body has new info, update here.......

I am not getting through. It just keeps ringing. Has anyone called Ombudsman number and got to speak to anyone?
Did you send 7001 to Ombudsman? So, Ombudsman is also hopeless?
Did you call them to find out the status? Here is Om's #, in case you don't know: 202-282-8000. Call them and update us as well.

they first stated that they had instructions from their legal team that they have too much hassle with EADs causing problems, so they dont hire ppl with outside EAD. When I asked them to reconsider they said I dont know for sure, lets see what the legal team says.
It seem to me that this hr person did not make up the refusal on their own, but had previous precedents to go by or had been given explicit instructions.
My fear is that they will come back with a clearer explanation of why they cannot offer employment based on the EAD.
I am getting really really upset about this. If I had known about this EAD refusal thing I would not even have gotten out of H1 and would have continued to work...

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 ...

Question is that there are so many July 2 filers (including me) who have not got any response yet. Therefore, it is not an isolated case. I don't know if emailing to the Director does any good, as long as USCIS keeps admitting that they have not yet sent all receipts (inspite of weekly bulletins). Until 90 days are over, I guess, USCIS will be unresponsive to individual inquiries.

Well it is their country. We are serving through our volition.
We have an expectation, but in a free market it is demand and supply.
i am Not trying to be negative - just a reality check on where we stand and how we can approach.
It is a fact that immigration from Asia shot up at the turn of the millennium. This may look disproportionate to proponents of diversity.
Now 1/6th of the world population comes from one country. But the quota for Iceland and India remains the same.
Consequently many like us cannot: change employers, give up opportunities (lure of which we came here for) and wait for the same outcome that others achieve much faster, simply because they were born somewhere else or their employers & lawyer decided their immigration category. So much for free country and meritocracy.
i believe our main point should be a level playing field and transparent
system so that expectations are clear.
For those of us who have suffered due to lack of clarity, for all fairness, must lobby for a chance to parity after multiple (say 10) years of serving LEGALLY.

Hi Junglee, when is HR5882 scheduled again?
Is it tomorrow or on 18th?
Thanks.
It is schedule for this week . Also as per NumberUSA (which was true in term of scheduling couple times in past ) Senate is doing some back door prep for S 3114. I think we have good chance before end of this month to get this thing done.
Let call and let them know our concern.. Please keep calling and ask your spouses (if married ) to call ..

I think you have wrong info... Last year, EB2 I&C did receive spill over from EB2 ROW, EB1 (~3K), EB5.. Also from reading other posts it is my understanding that in fact there was NO spill over from Family Based.
I could be wrong though!!
May be I am wrong. I want to be wrong since I would like to File for I 485 , but this is from DOS site, can you share your source ?
http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/FY10AnnualReport-TableV.pdf
Table V (Part 2)
You will see total at the bottom of this page.
E1 = 41,026
E2 = 53,872
E3 = 42,431
E4 = 11,048
E5 = 1,885 [Table V (Part 3)]
If allocation for 2010 was like below then EB1 gave us 1 k ,
E1 = 42.5
E2 = 42.5
E3 = 42.5
E4 = 11.5
E5 = 11
Then Eb1 gave only 1k. E2 ROW didn't give any. Eb2 India / China got from Eb1 and EB2 row is because of overflow from family based.
We are lacking those number this year. I would say if we didn't have those 10k family visas spill over would be only 10k for 2010.

Awesome.
Ya, journey ended well.
.... If there is any sequence after Approvals, expect it this way: CPO/approval ADIT/Welcome mail (mail), Post decision/ Last processing Action= this is the date they mail cards and check/hope to find cards in mail box in 3-4days (DON'T discard as they look so very ordinary envelope....)

Folks,
I got a call from the Ombudsman Office today morning was told that my case is in "transit". When is asked her what it means she told it is going to be reviewed by an IO. I got the similar response to my SR that "your case is pending adjudication by IO" so don't know what to make out of it in the sense that its been removed from the shelf and sitting in some pile and IO will get to it when he/she can?
Did any one get their GC approved after their case was in transit? How long did it take?
