I would probably tell them that you want to go to India on an urgent personal reason and get back the passport.
I am not sure, what other option you have after getting the passport.
I went to US Consulate Montreal Canada yesterday and they held back my passport, Copy of LC, Originals of my I 485 and H1/H4. They told me your company is too small 7-8 employees and need to search the company. I had my H1/H4's got stamped in Toronto in 2005 without any problem.
My I 140 is approved in June 06, Submitted I 485 in June/July 07 got EAD Cards in Oct.-07. I also got my 3 years H1/H4 approvals on Jan-18th, 08.
Any idea how much time they are going to check the status of the company? Does the size of the company really matters? I am paid regularily and my company is a real estate investment firm, due to recent recession the profit of the company is low as compared to previous years. Will this make any difference. I am EB 3 with priority date July 30th, 2003.
Any advise?? Has some one been in the same situation. My older son is in college and has exams on Monday? Any thoughts/suggestions.

How did they pull it off?
We have been waiting for data like this since umm..... last ice age??
Something is drastically wrong. Either they have MUCH MORE influence than us(IV) in USCIS/DOS or someone knows right handshake and wink....
We can't even get official clarification on AC21 rule from "babus" at USCIS forget influencing "netas" for recapturing & CIR!!!
In 2007 PD fiasco, we take too much credit for so called "Flower Campaign" and think that because of that USCIS reversed the decision and accepted all the 485. DEAD WRONG!!! It was because of Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA). She wrote letters to Michael Chertoff, Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Condoleezza Rice, Secretary, U.S. Department of State (DOS)
I have been long time member, may be one of the first few members and I will keep supporting IV in whatever way I can in the future also but I am convinced that unless we gain critical mass, nothing is going to happen.
Let the Reds rain!

Hi All,
It would be great if you tell me how to go about with police complain for lost passport? Is it just I have to call 911 or go in person? And what questions they ask?
Thank You
You should not call 911. You should call the county police, they will ask you either to walk in to the nearest police station or some times you can ask the police officer to meet at a particular place. In my case I asked the police officer to come to the nearest Fedex Kinko's. He came to Kinko's sat with me and asked simple questions. The officers are usually very helpful and he/she will provide you a complaint no, and visiting card. You need this complaint no. when you are applying for a duplicate passport.

Assuming I filed for I-485 before the retrogression mess.
Thanks!
A co-worker and I applied together at exactly the same time.
We got approvals for LC and I-140 within weeks of each other.
Now, our PD became current in September 2006, he got approved a few days ago and...I found out I am stuck in the name check shit!
FYI, his name is extremely common and mine is extremely rare (in my entire life, I have never met someone with the same name!), so go figure...:confused: :confused: :confused:

Well How do you know that all the members who are registered with IV is aware of this Webfax? Did you guys notify them in anyway? Do you expect/mandate all the IV members should be checking the website/forums all the time? No Hard feeling.... Just my 2 cents
Krishjack,
Thanks for the suggestions, but
1) The immigration debate is really hot. Monday is when the action starts. its not something 2 years down the line. Hence, we hope that members keep on updating themselves by visiting the site regularly
2) We cannot send an email everytime we want to send a webfax because initially we were thinking of sending a new fax every 2 days last week. But on advise of QGA, we decided to send only one fax. If we had gone the route of sending a fax every 2 days, would it be appropriate to send an email every two days? We do not want to associate IV's newsletter with some junkmail that comes everyday!
Hope this helps

So it means that if I-140 petition is filed on my behalf, if I renew my non-immigrant visa, it would be denied?
Most cases yes, it will be rejected if the non-immigrant visa is not dual intent type unless the consular officer thinks otherwise.
H1 is of dual intent type non immigrant visa.
F1,tourist....are not.

I am in a similar situation but I had worked for the GC processing employer for 6 years but switched jobs before I applied for 485. Can I invoke AC21?

There are many EB3 cases going back to 02 which are approvable with I-140 already approved. I am no expert of immi. rules but if point 2 is true, it is a case for further research.
You cannot sue them for any of the above.
1) Most people do not understand the processing date concept. If the date says July 2007, then it is a guideline saying most of the cases before that date have already been processed. It does not mean that they will *not* process cases later than that date.
2) FIFO? If they had not dropped Eb3 cases and focussed on EB2 140s, then a lot of approvable 485s would not have been approved this year, resulting in unused visa numbers. So they made that choice. It is a temporary situation due to the huge backlog of 2007.

3) Ability to call someone and send emails on behalf of IV

As part of Class action lawsuit can we ask for recapturing of all unused visa numbers? I believe the number is at least 300K, it covers the green cards for 2003, 2004 and 2005. 2006 can go with 2008 quota. So everyone will be happy.
I believe this is the provision we should fight for instead of CIRcus.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

Since 2000, a total of 182,694 work-based visas have not been given out because the immigration agency had fallen behind in processing applications, according to the 2007 report of the immigration agency�s ombudsman.

Hmm.. maybe i did not make it clear.
What I meant was, if you make 4 copies of your photo and use two of them in one application, then USCIS is not allowing you to use remaining two afterwards claiming that picture should be recent and 'unused'. They are asking of 'different' picture altogether.

The only scenario where porting from EB3 to EB2 would help someone else in the EB3 queue is when the person who ported does not use the regular allotment of the EB3 and hence another EB3 person gets it. But then, a lot of EB3 folks get in front of other EB3s by moving to EB2 and this reduces the chance of the extra visa numbers reaching EB3. I would say porting is not good for the EB3 people staying in EB3 except a few situations.
I was not aware that EB3 were getting over regular allotment....but porting is the only way i see people getting the GC in a reasonable time-frame if you are stuck in EB3 queue :cool:

Well, most of us July filers--including myself--are little stressed out due the Receipt Notice issues, but now I have learned how to live happy even at hard times. Here is how I imagine the NSC center works. A busy morning at NSC mail room.:)
Mail room Clerk: Good morning officer! Today's quota of I-485 Receipt Entry is 3000. In what order I have to pull the 3000 applications from the mound of applications?
Officer: Order? Are you out of your mind? Did you forget my instructions? Go to Rack # 10 and pull 1000 applications, and go to Rack # 15 and pull 1200 applications, and finally go to Rack # 21 and pull 700 applications. It will take just take 10 minutes. If you sort all these applications, it will take hours and hours. Try to be a smart man. OK?
Clerk: Yes sir, I will do it 10 minutes.
(Clerks completes the officier's instruction and comes back with the applications, but seems confused)
Clerk:Sir, it looks like we pulled only 2900 applications, but still we need 100 more.
Officer: What? How did it happend? OK. Let me think. Go to the 'Rejected Applications' rack and pull 100 applications, closing your eyes. It is important you close your eyes and pull the application. Understand?
Clerk: Yes, sir.
(The clerk gets the 100 applications from the 'Rejected Applications' rack)
Clerk: Sir, I am done.
Officer: OK. Now, one final time. Count the applications and make sure we have only 3000 applications.
(The clerk counts the applications again....)
Clerk: In a panic voice, says, "Sir, I don't know how this happend, but we have 3600 applications instead of 3000, but I did't make any mistake, Sir.
Officer:Man, you are always a pain in my ass. Now we have 600 more applications in hand..Hmmm.. Let me think. OK, just transfer these 600 applications to TSC, and today's problem is solved.
Clerk: Yes, sir.
Officer: Bye, see you tomorrow.
Regards,
IK
