I have submitted my passport for name change, some three weeks ago. But i have to move to a new apartment in the same complex.
Does anyone know what carriers does the CGI houston use to send passports? Any one received their's with anyone other than FEDEX?

I do not know if I am doing something against the rules of this forum, please excuse if I am. I am just a father trying to do something to protect his daughter; but I know that there are many other children who are or were under similar circunstances. I am not a lawyer. My wife, my daughter and I went to talk to our Representative Moran and our Senator Webb, but they are interested in numbers, cases, especially Virginia residents; but I think that this is something national. We (my family, I and anyone who wants to join us) can go to the office of the Leader of the Senate Majority or the House or to the office of any other committe leader and give them a letter showing numbers and cases, real families that are suffering and requiring them to do something about it. If you agree, I would suggest to prepare a small database with all the cases that we know, then prepare a letter and send it to the Congress leaders.
I think that we would need the following information:
1. Your Contact Information: (Email at least; First, Last Name and Phone Number ideally)
2. State Where You Live
3. Your Employment-Based Category (EB1, EB2, EB3, Other Worker, EB4, EB5)
4. Your Country of Origin (CHINA-mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, PHILIPPINES or OTHER)
5. Your Child's Date of Birth
6. Your Case Priority Date
7. Date Visa was available
8. Date DOL approved your Labor Certification
9. Date I-140 was sent
10. Date I-140 was approved
11. Anything Else You may Want to Add: (like current status of your case)
Please let me know if that is ok for you, we can use this forum to collect the info or I can provide my email account or phone number, either way is ok for me. Thanks for your understanding.

I fully agree with this idea, but unfortunately this has been discussed for a long time now but none (including IV CORE) seems to be interested in pursuing this further, although we all know that this has higher changes of approval. And I am sure even the folks with no MS from US will support if for simple reason that it will help them as well if backlog and crowed is reduced by whatever means. So I assume we all (US Degree Holder or otherwise) will support this -- still no actions..
I agree with this 100%, BUT we (US degree holdeers) have to understand that in the GC aspirant community there are tons of people who came in through "desi consultnats" (even this word makes my blood boil), who will never agree with this or support this. Classic Indian mentality, one crab pulling the other back in the basket.

My experience with CGI houston was after waiting on call for 1 hr in queue with counting down my position in queue, IVR informed me that "No one is available to answer my call press 0 for operator" , this goes in loop. I never was able to speak to a person any time during my passport was with CGI houston.
My advise if you are dealing with CGI houston is Send your passport and forget about month or so you will receive renewal after month.

I have spoken about IV to several friends, colleagues, acquaintances and relatives who are stuck in retrogression or likely to be affected by it sooner or later. I have found it very hard to orally convey effectively what IV does and how it benefits people like them. Of those to I have spoken to only 4 or 5 have become members of IV. Also, I think a lot of people, including me, find it difficult (shy, I guess) to directly approach people and canvass about anything.
I have also sent emails to these and several others about IV. Not sure how many read it and how many have become members. Nowadays chain and mass emails have become so ubiquitous, most people ignore or delete them, no matter who sends them.
Someone might have already done this or proposed this already, not sure
Here is what I will be doing to increase awareness about IV:
I think direct mail, although costs money, is one of the most effective way of communicating ideas and organizations like IV. People take this more seriously than emails.
In the next few days I will make a list of people (at least 30) that I want to convey about IV to and send them direct mail about IV. This will be done by printing the brochures and text of email IV has published and send it to them via postal mail. I may not have the postal addresses of all of them, but I should be able to find out by doing a reverse lookup on their phone numbers. I am also thinking of sending it to their work address if I can not find their home address.
In a few days, I will post again letting you all know how many direct mails I sent.
Here is what IV can do:
If IV thinks this is an effective way to increase membership they can do the following: Have members send them postal addresses and money towards postage and stationery. E.g. 50 cents per address. IV can send postal mails to the people (addresses given by members).
I think this is better than members sending themselves because IV can fine-tune the message and messages have more gravity if it comes from a non-profit instead of an individual person. (Others may disagree with this statement). Some may want to canvass about IV but may want to remain anonymous. Those who do not want to remain anonymous should have the option of adding their name/address at some appropriate place in the letter.
Another suggestion is that IV should publish a comprehensive direct mail package (and guidelines) that can be downloaded and printed by members like me who want to send direct mails

Hi,
I have an California EB2 RIR LC app pending with backlog center with PD of March 2005. My 6 years of H1B are over and am an Indian citizen.
Is it a good idea to convert this application to PERM - my company lawyers say that there is a risk in that if the application is rejected, there is no back-up + it can take upto 8 months to process under PERM due to the conversion.
Best Wishes
zoozee
It is very true that it might take a long time for the conversion cases to get approved. Mine took 6 months with audit. Your PERM application must be identical (not similar, it should be 100% identical) to your RIR case. They will take months to pull your RIR out from the BEC and compare it with the new PERM and if 100% identical they will approve. It is possible. It can be done. I got mine done. It will take time. It is risky especially when your 6 year limit is over. There are ways to stay in status even if it gets rejected. But are you willing to take the risk?

Thank you very much mdforgc for your detailed response. I appreciate you taking the time to explain me. I have contributed $200 towards IV and am very pleased with the work of the IV core group. I hope we will continue the momentum we have generated and find a solution to our GC problems.
The first step you should get your employer to do is to file a job order in the state job bank or americas job bank. You have to keep this ad for 30 days and then wait another 30 days to file PERM. This is the longest time. All other forms of recruitment needs to wait only 30 days and you can file PERM on the 31st day. There is no mention of working days or weekends, it is 30 continuous days. As you know in addition to this job bank order, and two Sunday newspaper ads, there has to be three other forms of recruitment before you can file PERM. If your employer and lawyer are really proactive it will only take 60 days to file PERM from start to finish. You also have to get a prevailing wage determination and post it at your job site for 10 days not including holidays and weekends. Hope this helps. Please contribute and incrase the membership of IV for the good of all of us.

Hi,
I saw response from one of the moderator.
I think that we need to point out to law makers that employment based petitioners are being differentiated from citizens . Whlie in their case the date of child is frozen on the date of the I-130 application, why not same treatment should be given for I-140.
I again hope our Core Team members will take up this issue.

They are definitely approving beyond June 8th but there are many people with RD's from May 07 and before and much older priority dates still waiting. Do not read too much into the approvals you see the approvals are somewhat random to say the least.
EB3 ROW, PD November 2002, RD May 2007. Still not approved. Getting impatient seeing people getting approvals with later priority dates and receipt dates. Think my application has got lost in a corner somewhere.
I know, but I cannot help being hopefull, especially since some lucky guys here have finally gotten it. I am glad for them and hope that soon you and me will follow them!
I will send a little extra luck with this for you :)

What nonsense is this.
Isn't this supposed to be a public forum that people can join and share updates. There is no disclaimer that one needs to donate to participate in discussions on this forum.
If donations are mandatory - this would have been a paid only website and access to all should have been restricted. I bet the participation and visibility of a useful site like this would be detrimental in this case.
I said contribution, not donation. Money is not the only way to contribute.
last week I spent 4 dollars in sending letters abt EB1 fraud - I did not spend much money but contributed; that's what i'm looking for.

I think there is a pattern here. Out of the 6 approvals we can see today all are from Nebraska, while out of the 40 approved yesterday only 10 were from nebraska. Looks like Nebraska has been ordered to catch up......and Texas to wait till Nebraska does it:) oh well, I know I m tryin to do the impossible.

Finally I was greened after 4 years and 3 months from my I-140 approval date.
I opened a SR yesterday and today my CPO e-mail came to my mailbox. However my wife's status says
"On August 2, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
Do you know what does it mean?:confused:
I am not sure whether opening a SR helped or not. Good luck to everyone. Remember GC is something but not everything in life. Being healthy and spending quality time with your family are more important than GC.
Congrats Masterji. BTW, how were you able to open the SR. I called them this morning and they told me that my PD became current yesterday so I should wait for 30 days before calling them back.
