Smisachu,
I am happy for you. The process indeed takes an emotional toll on us. Thanks for the heads up about the type of mail. I will be careful to watch out for "credit card offer" type snail mails.
After you get the CPO, the whole process seems to be automated. I think USCIS is using some workflow Product.
I guess in 80 to 90% of the cases , after CPO you shud expect your card in 11 days.

It really is amazing how much hot air has been generated on this thread over a well established transit visa requirement.
The list of nationals that are required to have a visa to transit the UK represents a list of countries where there has been a particular problem with over stayers. It is not race based, but merely an effort to target the problem.
Do you seriously think the people from all the countries listed overstayed ?
It really does not matter what anyone thinks about the transit visa requirement because it is UK law. Everyone has a choice whether or not to transit the UK. Going back to the original post, to book a ticket without researching visa requirements and then trying to deflect personal responsibility by blaming the visa requirement is ridiculous.
The whole point of the thread is to discuss how people are treated there and merits or otherwise in choosing this place as a transit point.
Do you see any one demanding or representing your queen to abolish this TV requirement ? If you had followed the thread most people are suggesting to avoid this place rather than to fight them. Don't you get that point ?
How is charging different amounts for the same kind of visa and refusing to correct the mistake OP's personal responsibility ?

I will definitely send all these letters today or tomorrow. But why are we not sending to all the service centers? Why only Texas? There are many cases at Vermont, California service centers which were never transferred to Texas. Would it not be appropriate to include these service centers in this campaign?

No disrespect to Al-Jazeera. But putting our story on that channel is not a good idea. People view anything on it with lot of suspicion, and Fox news interprets everybody Al-Jazeera sympathizes with as you know what.
Don't come after me for saying this, its not my opinion. But general opinion that I have observed from people who are not well informed(read majority of people). Lets focus on the main stream media in US, outside coverage is not that significant anyway.
Core,
Some one from Al Jazeera is requesting for more info. Please contact him (if its not done yet) for a story on the flower drive. Other members who participated in the drive please call and talk a few details.
His request is pasted from another thread:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a producerfor Al Jazeera English, the international TV network. I'm hoping to talk with some of the people involved in the flower campaign. If you have time to contact me it would be great- 202-496-4519 or 202-651-1613. Many thanks,
Kelly Rockwell

for once sepia mutiny decided to cover our story. i still dont understand that blog. more than 80% of the posts are dedicated to ridiculing indian issues...most of the contributors are indian americans...but they never cover our issues.
i cant understand why they cant make up their mind...either limit yourself to covering indian american issues or accept that we are a part of your ethnic group too. is there an african american blog that keeps harping about child mortality in africa? is there a italian american blog that is dedicated to researching origins of pasta recipes in italy?
i dont get them but at least we get some more coverage.

did you emailed to ombudsman also? any replies from him?
While a lot of people sending generic letters on this issue would certainly bring the underlying issue to the discussion table - the lack of "locus standi" would prevent ombudsman or even USCIS from acting.
Let me explain what I mean by the above statement - every case is different and is adjudicated according to the merits of that specific case alone based on applicable laws and procedures. So, investigation and even future policy direction can be only be based on specific instances of the entire case files and detailed specific reasons of how these cases were wrongly adjudicated.
So, the service centers and even the ombudsman is right in saying - we cant help till we have actual case #s

Hello, I can understand your pain as I was in a similar situation as you are. I would recommend to wait for atleast 2 weeks. I interviewed on 28th Dec and finally got the email on 9th Jan and the pp stamped on 10th Jan and took the flight on 12th Jan.
If you have an upcoming travel which is in next week, please try to reschedule it as it is not certain on how much time does it take in such cases.
I do not think getting the employer involved into this will help. VFS office will have no clue on this and they will answer only Questions on the process. Writing to the US consulate will also give you a general answer. It is sad that there is no accountability in cases like these. Please keep the faith.
I am in the same situation. Appeared for interview on 8th jan in Mumbai. They returned my PP, I-797 with a yellow paper and asked me to wait for email. Haven't recieved any email yet. Do I need to contact my employer? Does my employer need to call someone in US for approval? Or shall I just keep waiting? It is very frustrating. I called VFS office but they don't know anything.. If anyone has received email or approval please keep us posted as this is the only source of information.

Best,

I had a very bad experience with vonage. I applied for rebate with all the papers and sent my adaptor to India. For some technical reason it was not working and I was paying for vonage for long time. After eight months, my rebate was rejected without any reason. When I wanted to cancel my connection, I had to wait more than two hours in line and had to call more than couple of times. But still vonage charged my CC for cancellation fee. I had to file a dispute with CC. Thats the reason I never want to use their service and never recommend to anyone.

Numbers USA and FAIR painted Sen. Specter and other pro-immigration forces as dark demons who sneaked 8001 and 8002 into budget reconcilation bill. "SNEAKY". "Specter tried to SNEAK immigrants into the budget recon bill".
Hmm. So sneaking unrelated provisions in bills is wrong. "Its evil" sayeth numbers usa.
Looks like the sneaking is not un-common. And our own Rev. Frist and Denny Hastert seem to have SNEAKED a relief for drug companies into the Defense appropriations bills.
I wonder how is that related. Maybe the drug companies make drugs that benefit the US military that needs an appropriations bill and hence the drug-company relieft provisions are tied to Defense appropriations bill.
Sneaky sneaky sneaky. Mr Tancredo, Smith...how is this for sneaky???HUH?? And numbersusa...what sayeth thou about thy Hastert and thy Reverand Doctor tele-diagnostics Frist??
http://www.gallatinnewsexaminer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060209/NEWS02/602090405/1309/MTCN04
And this SNEAK effort was so sneaky, it even bypassed the conference committee. At least Specter was sneaking it with the knowledge of conference committee where Tancredo types had a chance to protest.

this is such an outrage!..is this true or made up..
subject should read "have you done any research"?
It amazes me that we qualified and professional people all buy in to what ever we read on the internet, and never perform our own research.
The source is often cited as The Awakening Ray, Vol. 4 No. 5, The Gnostic Centre Reproduced in Niti issue of April, 2002 at p. 10 a periodic publication of Bharat Vikas Parishad, Delhi.
It is a general misconception that this is a part of Lord McCauley’s speech to British Parliament because Lord McCauley arrived in India on 10th June 1834 and returned to England in early 1838. If in 1835 he was in India then how could he have delivered a speech in the British Parliament. Let me also add that he arrived in India by a 3 month long journey by ship so there is no chance that the Lord made a quick visit to England for delivering this speech.
I also found this interesting.
A dubious quotation, a controversial reputation: the merits of Lord Macaulay
Koenraad Elst discovers through a wrong quotation attributed to Lord Macaulay how right the anglicizer of Indian culture was, or at least how right his intentions were, subjectively.
http://koenraadelst.bharatvani.org/articles/hinduism/macaulay.html
also
http://www.tamilnation.org/culture/macaulay.htm
Here's a question for you it's 2008, what does a statement made in 1835 have to do with immigration into the USA?
For example 27th Oct 1838 the Missouri Governor (LW Boggs) issued extermination order against Mormons allowing for Mormons to be shot on sight. But Mitt Romney is safe to campaign there because the order was rescinded on 25th June 1976
It's 2008 people and this is a USA immigration forum, not the anti-British forum.

This is the Chuck Hagel Bill that was put forth 10/25. No further action has been taken since.
Specter's bill will prolly include some sections of this bill.
01/21/2006: Republican National Committee Resolution: Support Legal Immigration & Guest Worker Program, Oppose Legalization
Report indicates that the Republican National Committee voted on 01/20/2006 to back the Bush's call for a guest-worker program, and adopted a resolution that calls for continued "legal immigration," criticizes illegal immigration and endorses a "new work program for foreign workers," but states there should be "no amnesty for those persons presently in the United States illegally." Read on.
There are several Comprehensive Immigration Reform bills pending in the Senate. The Senate is expected to return to the Hill next month and the specific agenda for the debate of these conflicting bills have yet to be announced by Sen. Bill Frist. He previously announced that these bills would be tabled for the debate in February. Please stay tuned to this website for the upcoming comprehensive immigration reform debates in the Hill. These bills are expected to bring a reform in the employment-based immigration increasing the employment-based immigrant visa numbers substantially. There are no strong opposition to this part of the comprehensive immigration reform.

If these people rolling flood and sunnysurya were confident, they would have posted their name and phone number till now for everyone. These guys are cowards. I bet their profile will also be annonymous.

This is a real problem. I got a letter from a prospective employer, who wanted proof that I was legally eligible to work in the US (alongwith transcripts, previous employment letters etc.) prior to scheduling an interview.:cool:
I believe employers are seeing a lot of candidates on EAD, and for whatever reasons they dont think EAD is good enough and would like to weed those candidates out beforehand.
We need to fight back against this discrimination.:mad:
I think h1b was considered as an initial filtering criteria where they do not have to deal with complexity. Now as they see more EAD trying to switch jobs, they are trying to apply the same filter. They do not understand that EAD is a valid document on the i 9 form.
So what if they find a lot of GC holders?
" Only Citizens please"
What if they find a lot of Citizens and very few h1b?

sobers has posted an article published in the WSJ, on his thread Wall Street Journal on Skilled Immigation .
Part of the article says
Plans touted by Justice and Home Affairs Commissioner Franco Frattini, the man charged with developing common immigration policies for the European Union, range from a new EU-wide "green card" that would allow skilled workers already in the 25-nation bloc to change countries without extra paperwork, to special temporary permits for seasonal workers.
"The U.S. and Australia have stricter rules, but they get the right people to immigrate, and once they're in, they integrate them, and give them benefits, education and citizenship" much faster than in the EU, Mr. Frattini said in an interview.
We should try to educate Mr Miller on the US process.
