I am just wondering why in the world has someone done this stupid things... and suffer like this.
sometimes life gives you lemons.
sometimes people do miss billing certain items (Ex: could have forgot to put it on the counter, etc) and get caught.
Shoplifting is the number one crime in stores and stores suffer billions of dollars losses onthese. Stores do prosecute these without any leniency. They cannot differentiate between an misunderstanding/accident with an intentional one.
This is not like india, where the owner of store is most interested in making you pay for that item or get it back if you are caught.

When does the "Approval notice sent" status appear, it is about 7 days since I got the production ordered.
Hello,
My EAD is pending for 8 months due to security clearance. I requested interim EAD but no luck. Have made several info pass appointments, the IO called Texas Service Center and spoke to the officer who has my application. the Texas service center replied to local IO that they will soon get to it. As of January 11, 2008 my application is sitting on the desk of the IO in Texas waiting to be adjudicated. However, with pending security clearance I am not sure when that would happen....Biometrics were done in July 2007.
Any advise is greatly appreciated
thanks

Why not parents have a different category... not B2. maybe P1/P2
B2 is tourist visa. Parents are not tourist.
We are here because of our good parents. Forgetting them is most disrespect we do in life.
If we don't care our parents, when we become older(parents) how will our kids will care us?.
Research are proving...if we live together as family like in olden days...many health issues will disappear...everybody will be happy, no stress.
We need to go back to older family system. Now we are proving...green is better. food is medicine. So why not staying together with parents is not good?. This lead us to have a strong long lasting life.
Very loving and affectionate humanitarian thoughts..I fully support this cause.
It is not only a moral obligation, but also the Dharma or duty to protect and serve our parents in their sage and elderly age. Gratefulness is a virtue. Shared living and togetherness improves mental health, and builds capacity and strength to face life. Also, One doesnot have to depend on alcohol, antidepressants and anti anxiety drugs for escaping stress - instead can depend on parents for comfort, emotional stability and love.
Interestingly when you say that research proves food is medicine, these days modern medicine including scientists from Top research universities and labs are turning back to Ayurveda to change the composition of Immune system and blood in body - to fight against HIV, TB and other diseases (google it up, you will find many programs including holistic approaches) - going back the time tested herbal way, that has been validated for over 5000 years.
Ofcourse, the Irony is that we cannot request for amendment of law to provide for these allowance, unless we are citizens, but I am sure if many citizens and others in other visa categories like us, could possibly request for extended stay for an year or two atleast on a temp basis for parents. May be it will get noticed if we opt to pay an Alluring Premium fee that can convert this option in to economic gains for USCIS and American firms (Insurance etc) , which can help to gain the required traction and optimum action.
thanks..and God Bless.

Hello,
With me having a pd even prior to of Mar 2002-EB3I, I thought I will join hands with IV to make something happen. To the extent I went and joined the IV chapter too.
Unfortunately, starting with the forum to most of the news that is being discussed seems to be not related to immigration at all. Example, accidents, investments, real estate. I feel the admin should be able to control and strictly adhere to what ImmigrationVoice stands for and delete any other unrelated threads.
Anyway, long story short, I feel IV has lost its focus and feels like for people who are looking at a proper approach to resolving problems, the web site does not give any reason or confidence, to follow or join hands for IV activities.
Just my opinion. Feel free to agree to disagree whoever would like to.
Not trying to blame anybody here, but sharing a viewpoint. In my opinion IV was great sometime back, but feel now there is a lack of direction.
I understand there could be lot of negative & positive comments about my reply here or me joining activities etc or not joining IV initiatives etc. I will explain my stance on those later.
Thanks.

We totally understand your point of view.
We feel we have more experience now than before and more members to take part in action items.
However we have felt that it has not been enough to bring the relief we need. For that we need more active members and more resources. I disagree that IV has lost focus. Few unrelated threads do not mean that is the opinion of IV. We would rather spend time doing IV work in this important year than policing the forums and banning people.
Infact through new features and upgrade of the site we are trying to provide what our members need on this site so that there is more participation on the effort when it is time. Our past experiences have told us that we need more numbers when it comes to letter writing, calling or rally. This is the reason we are trying to add new features on the site and look into the needs of the community. This is going to be our strategy this year and we seek member's help to get everyone outside of IV on IV platform. If someone wants to seek answers on immigration questions, they can join IV forums, if someone wants to track they can use IV tracker, If someone wants to blog, we have blogs etc etc
We really need critical mass of people this important year for us. Please try to help in any way possible to spread the word about IV at this time.
If you would like this to become an action item, some members can take the lead and help send chain emails, posters or any other innovative means to spread the word about IV. I think that is the need of the hour in order to launch a big campaign this year.
IV is you and me and we need to shoulder the responsibility to make something happen this year.

I think Senate is serious in passing the bill. Some of senators worked hard for months to draft this bill. But House reaction we will come to know after Senate passes. There can be lot of things which can derail the bill as both pro-immigrants and anti immigrants are not happy about the bill but both group got something.
What are the chances to pass the bill?

From the same memorandum:
"Accordingly, if the employer withdraws the approved Form I-140 on or after the date that the Form I-485 has been pending 180 days, the approved Form I-140 shall remain valid under the provisions of �106(c) of AC21. It is expected that the alien will have submitted evidence to the office having jurisdiction over the pending Form I-485 that the new offer of employment is in the same or similar occupational classification as the offer of employment for which the petition was filed. Accordingly, if the underlying approved Form I-140 is withdrawn, and the alien has not submitted evidence of a new qualifying offer of employment, the adjudicating officer must issue a Notice of Intent to Deny the pending Form I-485. See 8 CFR 103.2(b)(16)(i). If the evidence of a new qualifying offer of employment submitted in response to the Notice of Intent to Deny is timely filed and it appears that the alien has a new offer of employment in the same or similar occupation, the BCIS may consider the approved Form I-140 to remain valid with respect to the new offer of employment and may continue regular processing of the Form I-485."
One is ok even if an apporved I-140 is withdrawn as long as we have notified USCIS. This is a memo from August 2003. Here is the link:

PS : I work with one of best semiconductor companies in world and earn decent salary .
All GULTIs , start giving me red and i don't give a** for that.
I understand the pain of dependents. My son is also will be aging out.
Ability to work comes from EAD which would come from filing of 485. July 2007 filing was pushed mainly by IV and only then other organizations have pushed for it. I hope you are aware of this. 2 year EAD is IV's achievement.
All this happenned due to IV members and dedicated IV core. The president of this site IV is not a GULTI, but an Indian who donated about 60,000.00 US dollars. Yes, US $ 60K. He is also just like you and me. Never thought of divisions among immigrants: Neither Indian, Chinese, Philippines nor any origin. We have members from all over the world. The majority unfortunately is from India due to severe retrogression.
Had president of IV not donated 60,000.00, majority of us would still be struggling for spouse to work.
Please read IV's goals. Then you can comment whatever you want. Without funds, nothing can be moved. We have to lobby. That is the only option we have. IV core is also like you and me with normal jobs. They can not fly to DC every week or month for lobbying.
Please think before posting some thing.
I am not part of core, but have symtahies on them for doing a THANKLESS job for every one's good.

PennDot Issued 1 year driver's license for both me and my wife. We took H1B 8th year original receipt notice, original employer verification letter and passports. PennDot issued 1 year license based on that. Everything took less than 15 minutes.Please make sure your employer verification letter states your employment duration i.e. how long your company intents to employ you.

Hello ,
yesterday i was watching Cspan 2 and debate about immigration.one of the senator (i don't remember the name ) was telling about a story of a woman with six children migrated from some poor european country ten years back to America.unfortunately her husband died after coming here.She move on in life and went to idhao and opened a cattle ranch and brought up her children well.Now she is very proud and successfull business woman and mother of six grown ups whom i am sure will be well establish them selves.
i listened the story and thanked the God that she didn't came on H4 VISA.otherwise she couldn't achieve the same.
For H4 this land is certainly not land of opportunity.Rather i suggest all H4 including my wife to burn their masters in business administration degrees and PHDs ,start doing cleaning jobs like illegals and eventually apply for Z visa.
Nobody is listening to us on capital hill .H4 are inanimate objects who came here to USA to accompany their fellow husbands or wife.No matter if it is for one year or 30 years.
And in the end no reform for H4 in this bill and no hopes for getting GC to their spouse.
I am not sure whether you should so frustrated that you should step aside and do other odd jbs just to get a "GC".
Should be you downgrade your education because of a GC? Is India in such a bad state that after receiving PHDs etc one stands to ge nothing?
Arise Awake ( Swami Vivekananda's quote), India is doing great.
Yes I am waiting for GC, I understand the frustrations ( I am one in your boat), but I only have a B.E and cannot afford to pursue an MBA ( time is the cost, not money alone), & I still don't feel a B.E has no value.

I tried the following a couple of days ago.
i got a letter from my company about my status and issue with retrogression, I took a printout of the webfax from the IV site and sent a certified mail to our state senators (i am from CA). I think this is better than a web fax, i am not sure if they even read the web fax. I havent received a response from them as yet, but i am sure i will. Others can try it too and see if they get a response.
I did this because a senior manager from my company got fed up with his visa process and returned to Canada last month. He was ROW EB3 when he started his process.
good response. we are all in this together and need to work together in order to get things done. IV is not just IV core but each and every member. each member should try to do something positive in order to help IV in whatever way theycan. - contributing money, help increase members, contact their local lawmakers and also contacting media. we need to raise awareness andevery small positive action done by an iv member helps in the overall scheme of things.

This is not true. The Indian citizenship rules were changed sometime in 2003 so that children are not eligible citizenship if the birth was not registered within 1 year or if the child has taken some other passport. These children can get Indian citizenship only after attaining 18 years and renouncing the foreign citizenship.
I think like many Indian government rules, the OCI rules have not been thought out properly.
But within a year you can register a birth and get Indian citizenship, right? Whats stopping you from registering birth within a year?

I am EB2-I with PD of Aug 02, still waiting for approval of 485. July07 concurrent filer. 140 was approved in Sept08.
And this is the interesting part. The online status still shows 140 as pending. No email either, just a soft LUD on the online status. USCIS is being truly erratic. A maverick?
You should fill out a form with the Ombudsman. Just google for it. They should help you with your case.
Is your NC cleared? Have you taken an infopass to confirm your biometrics and NC is all clear? There have been cases where fingerprinting was done but it wasn't reflected in the case status.
