Vonage does work with a home security system, but they do no recommend using it for that purpose because then your security system is dependent on the internet to make the call out during an emergency.

When he was noting down all my info, I mentioned about LUD on my I-140 (approved) for 8-5-07 and he said.. it does mean anything since they still need to mail applicants receipts no matter what stage is your application is processed under.
Sent my application on Jul 2nd by 9:01 to NSC. Checks not cashed yet. No updates of any kind !!!! Want to find out if anyone else in the same situation. Thanks..

Am a new member here. Thought of posting the follow-up activities I have done till now and the results for the same.
Details:
PD: Oct 2005
Center: NSC
I485 RD: 07/26/2007
I485 ND: 08/24/2007
FP done only once in 2007 (forgot exact date).
Follow-up:
08/03/2010: Opened SR for primary (self)
08/05/2010: Sent email to NSCfollowup. Got reply that this account address is for following up on open SRs.
08/09/2010: Infopass appointment, did not get any useful info other than that case is being processed
08/09/2010: Opened SR for Secondary (spouse)
08/12/2010: Got response for 1st SR. Main gist of reply was that due to pending caseload in Nebraska, the processing time for my case has been extended :(. But the statement that got my attention was "Your application remains awaiting review by an Officer and you will be notified as soon as a decision is made. The Service is waiting for VISA availability." So called helpline again and was able to get to 2nd Level IO. She said that this statement is a mistake and that Visas are still available. Also confirmed that my case is with IO. However she said that I might be required to do FP again. The FP might be causing the delay.
08/13/2010: Contacted local congressman and asked help for following up.
08/13/2010: Send letter to Ombudsman
Latest status: Still waiting, not sure what other action I can take.

I just contacted my senator's local office .working on the letters now .Thanks IV for coming up with this wonderful initiative..I hope our community gathers around and works together to make this a success , please put bickering and cynicism to rest for sometime and work pro actively on this new IV action item..
Thanks IV. I think this is much easier for hundreds of people to participate as its easy, doesent take up too much time etc. and brings about our points across as compared to DC rally (please dont get me wrong here it was great but difficult for lot of people to attend because of various reasons). So I think we should spread out word about this as much as possible. Again, please dont get me wrong. Thank you.

There are 3 kind of jobs -
1. Jobs that require active security clearance - this kind of job is only limited to US citizen that have security clearance of that level. Yes, tehre are different levels in security clearance as well.
2. Jobs that will be in unit where everyone must be US citizen. These kind of jobs can be filled by US citizen without the need of any security clearance.
3. Jobs that are open for everyone - One must have active work authorization.
The vast majority of the jobs are of type #3. In any case, if job requires US citizen, the hiring place must be able to answer why that job is restricted to US citizens only.
_________________________
US citizen of Indian origin
Not a legal advice
Let me share my wife's bitter experience. She told the employer about EAD. She got interview thrice and selected. Offer letter came and they mentioned that it is only allowed after the security clearance such as NAT.
Employment verification was success.
Then when they sent papers to NAT clearance they rejected immediately as for NAT clearance one must be Green Card holder atleast.
The HR department mentioned sorry for their confusion as they themselves completely do not understand the whole thing.
So, any security clearance jobs for Govt/Military/AirForce dont waste your time if you are EAD holder.

Wow.. Applicants are waiting since 2002 and Govt Agency know it but don't do anything. Shame on you FBI NNCP :mad:
Check this:
http://www.bibdaily.com/pdfs/Liang%2010-30-07.pdf
Defendants assert that the background check is a complex
process that must accommodate an extremely large volume of requests
from the USCIS. Given the backlog of name-check requests and the
FBI�s limited resources, they maintain that the delay of two and a
half years in processing Mr. Liang�s background check is not
unreasonable. There is some validity to these points, and the
Court appreciates that the name-check process is indeed complex and
resource-intensive. But limited resources or not, a common-sense
rule of reason dictates that if the FBI was performing background
checks with due diligence, it would not take two and a half years
to process Mr. Liang�s name. While the Court is sympathetic to the
demands placed on the FBI and the limited ability of the USCIS to
control how the FBI allocates its resources, a lack of sufficient
resources devoted to name-check operations is a matter for the
agencies to take up between themselves or with Congress. The
executive branch must decide for itself how best to meet its
statutory duties; this Court can only decide whether or not those
duties have been met.
See Dong, 2007 WL 2601107 at *11 (�[I]t is
not the place of the judicial branch to weigh a plaintiff�s clear
right to administrative action against the agency�s burdens in
complying.�).
Moreover, although there is no Congressionally mandated
timetable for the processing of I-485 applications, Congress has by
statute expressed its view of what a reasonable amount of time is:
�It is the sense of Congress that the processing of an immigration benefit application should be completed not later than 180 days
after the initial filing of the application.� 8 U.S.C. � 1571.
The Court recognizes that this statute was enacted prior to the
events of September 11, 2001, and that the burdens on agencies with
responsibility for immigration matters have since increased.
Nonetheless, Plaintiffs� applications have been pending for five
times the length of the period identified by Congress.
Defendants argue that expediting Mr. Liang�s name check will
prejudice other applicants who have been waiting longer than he -in some cases, since as long as December, 2002.
While this would
be unfortunate, Defendants� failure to fulfill their statutory duty
to other applicants has no bearing on whether they have fulfilled
their statutory duty to Plaintiffs, and thus cannot serve as a
basis for denying Plaintiffs� motion.
While Defendants worry that
granting Plaintiffs relief may reward �the more litigious
applicants� or encourage other applicants to file lawsuits,
�perhaps recognizing this possibility will provide the defendants
with adequate incentive to begin processing [I-485] applications in
a lawful and timely fashion in order to obviate the applicants�
need to resort to the courts for redress.� Dong, 2007 WL 2601107
at *12.

I had bought a house 2 years back thinking that i will sell it after couple of years and make money. I know many people might have done that. I didnt knwo that having a house will become a burden for me wrt moving to a different place in search of a job. I do see jobs in cities outside my state and was thinking of applying for those jobs. My problem is that if i sell my house, i will have to pay from my own pocket.
Having a house in this market has become a pain as it has made me immobile with respect to good job offers.
I was thinking that incase i find a job in a different state and cannot travel back home frequently and also renting is not a good option then should i leave the house to the bank for foreclosure?
Will this affect my GC process. I have no plans of buying a house in coming years.
What might be an outcome of foreclosure, keeping in mind that i am wiating for my GC process.
If anyone had an experiecne like this or may know someone, please share ur thought..
Rent your house using Property management compnay. Why? While you are away from the state your house is, property mgmt. company will take care of renting your house as well as maintain everything, you will get less money and might have to shell out some money out of your pocket to pay mortgage.
In above case,
1. talk with your mortgage lender, see if they are willing to lower your monthly mortgage (e.g. by spreading it for 40 years instead of traditional 30 yr. loan)
2. Search for reputed Pro. mgmt. comp in your area, talk with them and see what are your chances of ending up a tenant.
3. I would suggest you to think twice before going for foreclosure as previous poster suggested.
4. If you decide to go for foreclosure, make sure you landup in a job before you go for the proceedings.
5. There are different types of foreclosures, research on which one will be less impact to you.

This is good news indeed !
12,000 extra visas available to EB2 at the end of second Fisc qtr would be excellent !!
Worst case I think they'll have to match EB2 India with the EB2 China date before they take it even further in the coming months for the both the countries.
Demand data shows only 10K pending for EB2 C, so EB2 I is going to benefit a lot more than China.

Teddy, any update to predictions based on the current status of availablity of EB1 ?
Krish I believe that Feb - Apr 2007 is very realistic now although we don't have all the details of the news yet. 12K numbers if applied in May will lead to 4-5 months of movement not just a wekl. I do echo VDLRAO's wish there is a good chance that we maybe near the Jul-Aug 2007 line however we should wait for the May bulletin to assess that.

Hi,
My labor (EB3) and 140 were approved a while ago.My company has sent H1B extension for three years in Feb 07.There was a query requesting for additional evidence from USICS in Apr 07.They are requesting lot of my company info and nothing about myself.My Company is taking its own sweet time to respond.Now I am eligible to file 485 as per the latest June visa dates for EB3.My question is could I file 485 when H1b extension is pending.My previous I94 expired on May 07.Please help as it is urgent.If the visa dates move back again then it will be horrible.My Company didn't file during concurrent filing and has eaten 2 years of my life and now they may use this to further hold me..any help will be appreciated.
Thx Vict

All right, looks like we got (or will get) some attention from media. DOS and USCIS got (or will) it too. That's good. They will forward flowers to hospital, and this is good too (hate to waste flowers)! Bad, if they will not strip messages from buckets, veterans do not need them at all, BUT if they decided to take messages off ... just picture that USCIS will stuck on forwarding flowers instead of doing their job. Who will win?
All right, what next? If BloodDrive will not work, I suggest we have to offer BRAINDRIVE :) Any leaders? :)

I got my 485 Approval notice copy on Dec 13th and haven't received any welcome letter or my actual card.
Is any one in the same state. How long does it take for the actual card to come.
I need to renew my DL by end of this month. Can I renew it using my 485 Approval notice copy?
Thanks

1. Ball park figure is total of 218,000 visa wasted from previous years. How much of it will go to EBs (and others) will be based on how the recapture gets implemented. If we don't do anything and sit quiet, it may as well be ZERO. Nurses will walk away with the cake
2. President can pass an 'Executive Order' to pass interim relief. So it should be possible. It'll depend on the independent interpretation of the law by the White House, and it won't be based on whatever you read elsewhere.
What is the source for the number 218,000? Is this purely speculation or in some official reports? USCIS Ombudsman report, some official USCIS publication or from any other organization?
Thanks!
