OK so I was the original poster that spoke about my friend. Now I will give you some insight into my own case. I have been now in the US since 1991(though my PD is August 2001). Here are some details
Jan 1991 : Arrived in US as 19 yr old after completing Diploma in Engineering from India (10 plus 3).
1991- 1996: Took 5 yrs to complete 4 yrs degree as I was paying my own way. Working full time and studying full time on F1 visa.
1996 -1998 : Completed MBA. This time situation was better because I had financial aid and in state tuition.
1998-1999: Completed internship at an Investment Bank. Had to find another job because I Bank didnt want to do H1. Have been at current job since 1999.
2001: CVompany policy was to wait 2 yrs before applying for GC. So finally filed labor in 2001.
2005 : Labor finally approved from BEC. I 140 filed and approved.
June 2007 : 485 filed (as a 36 yr old)
You are here since a very long time.
If rules can be proposed in CIR for undocumented allowing them to get a greencard if they can prove they are here for minimum X number of years, similar rules can be created for legal documented immigrants (like yourself) too. Its just that the legal immigrant community is not united and does not have enough power yet to raise the voice.

If DOS has set the priority date for EB2 India to Jun 2006, and USCIS does not want to waste visas, they have no other choice but to forward the processing dates at NSC/TSC. Even though the 485 processing dates may not move significantly in much awaited July Processing dates publishing, the August Processing dates bulletin will show the massive forward movement (485 processing date will reach till June 2006).

Actually I just wanted to point out the generic indifference shown towards the feeling of people of India by mainstream western media and governments - the long wait in immigration queue and ignoring the plight of Indian legal immigrant aspirants , setting a per country quota ignoring its population representation is just an extension of the same mentality... and I also wanted to point out how this mentality of deliberately ignoring Indian feelings and values is going to become increasingly irrelevant in the changing world where BRIC countries will wield increasing power.
Friend la6470, I totally understand your feelings.
However your statement "setting a per country quota ignoring its population representation is just an extension of the same mentality... and I also wanted to point out how this mentality of deliberately ignoring Indian feelings and values is going to become increasingly irrelevant in the changing world where BRIC countries will wield increasing power." can be used against the measures requested for removing the country quota.
Today inspite of the quota we are sort of demanding or in other words saying Google(US based company) should display Diwali. If country quota is abolished many more of us will beome PR and then citizens then we will be in a better position to demand the incorporation of our cultural values/ religious values in this country and thus the cultural/religious equillibrium of this country will get effected. So they will say this is the reason that the country quota should stay.
This way your innocent statement can be used against you and us. This was my concern against these type of nor immigration and matters related to only one country/region/religion being posted in this forum.
Hope you understand me.

This part refers to family benefits, i.e. payments to spouse based on your SS contributions.
The family benefits are explained on the ss website but there is no clear information about how the worker will get the benefits. On further digging, I found a document which indicates that the worker must be in the US to get the benefits.

The realistic answer is no. It is almost impossible to get eb2 in software jobs. On an average it is taking more 9 months to get labor clearence that too if it is eb3. if you are trying eb2 that is almost a definite audit. We have a case in our company which was stuck in audit (eb2) for more than an year now. our company and attorney have a policy that they are no longer filing eb2 (offcourse it is a different matter than they are no longer filing any green card application because of layoffs). So unless you are working for a desi "con"sultant company not many american companies (almosy none) are filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb3 to eb2 conversions. Even desi companies are scared shit because USCIS is knocking the living daylights out of them. Even desi companies are scared of filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb2.
we are living in a different age now where there are reports that USCIS is sending out invistigators to look into even ac21 cases. Enforcement has gone up, hint :last year h1 got filled on day 1, we are almost 6 months since h1 opened and only 45k h1 have been filled, the reason is USCIS is giving all sorts of rfe, so nobody is filing for h1. Forget about porting as in this environment you will not even find somebody doing eb3, only day dreamers will think of some company willing to file eb2 in software.
My wife has more than 5 years of US experience and we cant even get her employer to file Eb3 because they are saying they are getting tons of resumes in response to advertisement and they dont want to do any green cards for atleast an year.
As slim a chance as it is, visa recapture or some administrative fix like a temporary green card or relaxation of ac21 regulations like same semilar job restrictions is our best bet.
Hi All,
I am on H1B from 1998, 12th year and counting.
I applied for my labour 2 times but unfortunately because of different reasons those labor processings could not continue. 3rd time I could use a substitute labor (priority date Oct 2003) which is an EB3 labor certificate in 2005. I applied for I-140 and got approved in 2005.
I applied for I-485 in July 2007 when USCIS opened the gates. My 485 is pending. I got EAD. I am still continuing my H1B status with my new employer.
I am not working for the company that processed my GC. Recently I got an RFE like everyone else about my current employment and responded with the support of my current employer.
I think that the dates for EB3 will not move any further in any near future.
My question is, can I in any way convert my case from EB3 to EB2. If yes, what would be the process.
Please advice.
Thanks in Advance.

My suggestion is not to insult or hurt anybody. I understand the purpose of immigrationvoice. I am a contributor and will continue to support IV. However the way people hijack threads really pisses me off. The leaders of IV should figure out a better way to motivate people to donate. If people are not inclined then stop calling them names etc. I am not talking about anybody in particular. If somebody is not inclined it is not completely his/her fault. The coercive tactics some people use on the forum to make people donate actually does piss of a lot of people. I am nor talking about anybody in particular, but this is NOT the way to motivate people to contribute.
Sorry if I heart anybody feelings.
And I will donate to IV again..
I understand your point but theres been barely three fundraising threads to my knowledge in the whole existence of iv. and frankly ppl are just waiting to get offended - grow up ppl!

My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?

Why don't we just voluntarily mention the amount that we contributed in our signatures ? Since contributions are voluntary, so should be the option of disclosing information on it. When many contributing members start furnishing their contribtion information voluntarily, it becomes the "fashion" and others will follow suit, as no one wants to look like a free-rider.
As for the veracity of the information, we got to trust each other on that and follow an audit policy- I assume the core members/ administrators have the ability to cross-check the contribution information if someone looks suspicious. Anyone caught furnishing false information can be blacklisted. Such a policy minimises the work of the core team, without being overly intrusive.

I was in DC yesterday and today and it's a life changing experience. It was very well co-ordinated. Thanks to all the people who showed up. Three cheers to nixstor, Arun and the local team who had the difficult tasks of getting permits, co-ordinating with local authorities and everything went according to plan..Since I had lobby meetings in the PM had to leave early. They still had pletny of work to do. Their hard work paid off...
Nicely done :)

This is a news RK charging for suggestions.
I spoke to him couple of times prior to becoming his client and he never charged me anything.
He was very polite and replied all my questions. He even responded to my emails. This was in 2006.
I also suggest Amarnath Gowda(www.gowda.com), even he won;t charge any money for the suggestions to the general questions.
I used Gowda and RK and I was satisfied with both of them.
You should clear most of your questions prior to hire any attorney, then choose them according to to your satisfaction.

How about Mexico? I saw some notes on tavle.state.gov (Mexico (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_970.html)), which says -
"As of May 1, 2010, non-U.S. citizens with valid U.S. visas may enter Mexico with the U.S. visa, and do not have to obtain a Mexican visa. "
As of May 1st, 2010, no visa is required to travel to Mexico as long as you have a valid visa or AP to return back to the US. We flew to Cancun on May 14th 2010 with our AP and were there for a week. We had no issues either in Mexico or on our arrival back into the US.

are sure it is 7 years? i thought .. it is 3 years.
It is 7 years for your 1040 forms when you file W2 returns, so I would guess you have to keep all related docs for 7 years, if for any reason it gets audited, then IRS could ask for more than 7 years records.

India does have deduction from your paycheck: its the EPF/ PF (Employee Provident Fund/ Provident Fund).
You can manage your own pension fund - its called the PPF.
EPF/PF don't allow withdrawals until you retire (i think its driven by age - 62years for men; 55 for women - but i'm guessing here)
Its not the same as social security. Its a little bit better because you pay for your own retirement and not for anyone elses.
