I filed 485 in Sep 2003.
First Finger Print is done in Aug 2004.
Second Finger Print is done in April 2007.
Took Infopass on Sep 11th 2007 and I was told by Officer that everything looks good but still pending and asked me to check after 2 months.
Took Infopass again on Nov 13th 2007 and came to know that FBI Name Check is Pending on my and my wife's cases.
How do I know how long FBI Name Check is Pending on my case ?

H1-B has the following advantages under certain conditions.
1) If you are not yet married, you dump H1 and you are dumping the ability to bring your future wife to US immediately after marriage.
2) Some states give driving licenses that is valid until the EAD expiry or H1-B I-94 expiry. With H1-B, your hassle of DL renewal is reduced to one third of EAD based.
Its preposterous that USCIS does not allow LEGAL prospective permanent immigrants using EAD to bring their spouses!!

Employment based immigration is a very small part of legal immigration.
Here is a break down of legal immigration #s for 2006 according to Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, published by Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS) (available at Spotlight on Legal Immigration to the United States (http://www.migrationinformation.org/USfocus/display.cfm?id=651) By Gretchen Reinemeyer and Jeanne Batalova | Migration Policy Institute, November 2007).
1,266,264 immigrants were granted legal residence in 2006.
159,081 immigrants who received green cards through sponsorship from their US employers accounted for 12.6% of all legal permanent residents.
However, 87,702 (or 55.1%) of the employment-sponsored immigrants were spouses and children of principal applicants.
The share of employment-preference immigrants has varied between 3.3 percent (59,525) in 1991 and 22 percent (246,878) in 2005.
The other categories are family preference (802,712), refugee + asylee (216,454), Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 + parolees (43,546) and Diversity Lottery (44,471).
Employment based immigration is legal. However, it may help to add legal to the title.
Employment based immigration is skilled. I think employment based immigration includes cooks, priests, .... They consider themselves to be skilled just like everyone else!
If you just ask for improving legal immigration, they will improve family based or asylum.
As some persons learnt yesterday, legal immigration has very low priority as compared to undocumented. Similarly, employment based immigration has no priority in legal immigration!

We need to do something that catches the attention of the media; just getting more members and more funds may not be enough. We need to write letters to editors of major newspapers like NYTIMES and WASH POST.
I am so glad about the strong reponse to this thread.
I think you missed my point...we need more members because you can't get any one's time if you just want them to do something for you. You have to be prepared to do something for them. For us, when we become citizens, we need to vote. Now do you see why political parties look for numbers?
Also, as far as our outreach in the news media is concerned, you should look at this page:
http://www.immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_weblinks&catid=19&Itemid=27
We may not have made the news on CNN or on PBS, but we have gotten the word out across a wide spectrum of the news media...

why bother about I129 if you have a GC ?
I'm just keen to find out what's going on, and to get input on whether the I-129 being revoked is anything that can affect the I-140/I-485. I doubt it but would like to be sure. And to share what's going on in my case with others where it may have more of an impact if their H-1B ends up being revoked.
Anyway, I doubt if it's anything that can't be fixed; my company is very reputable and our attorneys are already engaged.

Please count me in.
Not only is this memo discriminatory this kind of news (some folks call it rumour) has been going on for almost an year and no one bothered to believe it until this memo was released and few good attorneys like Ron Gotcher (followed by others recently) have openly posted news on Newark aiport and openly condemned the memo
Please stop arguing and lets all work together for all H1Bs(remember most of the folks entered the US on this specific visa type and now its pay back time). Do not fight I am L1 or EAD etc. Sooner or later it will affect all...Its coming ..so act faster now. If this continues for a while - majority of the smart folks will prefer to move on.
This is just my interpretation - US is no more the US it used be and attitude towards potential future immigrants (specifically for one country) is certainly changing..
One more to add - I do not want to deviate from the main topic but would like to share my comments. Stop/Delete all threads on compaints from H1B/EAD folks on public forums(example: employer not paying what should I do, No paystubs what to do, how to enter the US with status issues) we are actually feeding the beast with all these topics..hope everyone understands..As the situation is changing we need to change accordingly.

Thanks all. I read the petition and I think it is great work. Yes, we need to send messages like this as a group.
Allow me to quote from the petition:
"It is required by law to pay an H1-B a minimum of $40000. "
I'm not challenging anything here, but can someone please point to the source of this? Is this Federal?
Again, I'm not challenging this. I just would appreciate some pointers so that I can learn more.
Thanks again.

Hello everyone,
I was just thinking about this the past couple of months and maybe we dont even need to ask for Green cards. MAYBE our approach should be "Let the H4s work". Once husband and wife can both work, the green card can take its time. Right now the Biggest problem with most people is that "my spouse cannot work!". Maybe if we lobby for h4s to be eligible to work that may solve the problem.
Now before this suggestion creates a HUGE "Dhoom", this is JUST a suggestion. The current political climate does not look like it is going to be easy in any way to put any provisions for Green card increases. Besides if the logic is "Let temporary workers be temporary", this approach fits in with that logic, coz we are not asking for GCs (permanent residency), just more temporary EADs.
I agree to this to a certain extent, but along with "Spouse canot work" the other issue is getting tied to an employer and getting exploited as a result of that.

I understand your frustration. Believe me I have gone thru the same.
When I filed for my I-485 in 2000, the PD was current for me for 23 months in row when it got approved. Can you believe this? PD was current for whole 23 months while I-485 was pending.
One of my goals is to help my future legal immigrants. Being a US citizen gives me vote voice and power. I am open to suggestions. I would like to help my fellow legal immigrants.
I know, the wait time is long, but it is worth it every bit.
Good Luck to everyone.
Hmmm so you have been a victim of random processing too? The situation is a mess no doubt. But this random processing really hits where it hurts the most...
IF ONLY everyone who gets a GC approval or citizenship could work at the CIS for a year... a sort of community service.... All of the problems wrt the random processing will go away...
I am sure most people on this board can hit the ground running and don't require extensive training... unlike the present day IOs.

Dear News Editor(s),
As a WWJ 950 listener and an immigrant living in Michigan, I am concerned about the negative impacts on immigrants by the airing of your show "WWJ Business Breakfast" with Mr. LOU DOBBS, which is scheduled to air on Nov 29 between 8 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
Mr. Dobbs is known for his strong views against immigrants, including considering immigrants to be responsible for the spread of incurable diseases such as Drug-resistant Tuberculosis, Leprosy etc. From past experience on CNN, he is also highly likely to blame the current crisis in Auto Industry to the so-called "importation of cheap labor from third world countries".
He is known to make exaggerated statements such as "Four hundred thousand H1Bs granted in a year" where as facts show otherwise. As per government figures, federal government awarded 124,096 H-1B visas in the fiscal year ending October 2005, the most recent annual totals available. That includes renewed visas, which don't count against the annual cap. These dramatic exaggerations distort the reality and provide a falsified alarmist view of the situation; which works against the interests of Immigrants ,businesses and American economy.
In the interests of fairness, you should also air the counter-views while providing coverage to such strong one-sided views. This would provide a balanced coverage to your viewers.
In the absence of such unbiased coverage, Mr. Dobbs verbal attacks may provoke physical attacks against foreigners as well as any foreign-looking persons by misguided elements provoked by your show. If such incidents do happen, please understand that your network will be indirectly responsible and liable to the foreigners affected.
As a concerned party I would like to know -
1) What action your network is taking to provide coverage of the other point of view, in the interests of fairness?
2) What action is your network taking to ensure that Lou Dobbs verbal attacks on foreigners do not translate into physical attacks on foreigners living in Michigan?
3) What action is your network taking to ensure that Lou Dobbs doesn't use exaggerated falsifications to justify his views. providing your listeners a wrong picture?
Appreciate hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,

I initiated the transfer on 19th and they delivered it today i.e 3 working days after (which is two days less than there norms). Also the rate is 43.35 today as per the calculator and they show a rate of 43.01 for my transfer. ICICI is a known thief. That is how the company is made. Its like "there is a CRIme after every successful company".
Can you believe these ICICI crooks remitted the money on saturday? They gave only 42.90 for saturday. For today its 43.01. Stealing close to 30 to 40 paise per dollar.
These are the same people who send gundas to collect money(debt) from their clients.
