Sub: Legal Immigration and CIR
Body:
I am here to talk about LEGAL immigration. In all the noise about illegal immigration and their path to legalization a very important subject is lost and that is LEGAL immigration, and delays and problems they are facing.
I came to US in 2000 with a perfect business plan and dream to start a company and spread prosperity, but the path I had to take was H1B visa. After coming here my last 9 years have been spent on getting Green Card ( I have recently filed for my 10th year H1B Extension), and my GC application with a priority date of 2003 March is still waiting in Backlog.
While there is some opposition for illegal immigration more than 90% of people I meet support the improvement in process for LEGAL immigrants. I hope in this CIR while looking at illegal immigration you pay special attention to LEGAL immigration.
Together we can build a happy and prosperous America for future generations.
Sincerely

You may be right in saying that people should be united, but you cannot and should not FORCE them to be. Censoring threads that you think go against the 'united' theme would be just wrong and would hurt IV more than it would help it.

Someone posted a link describing I-485 Standard Operating Procedures. It is very detailed and interesting to read. It even described color of paperclip to use, place it on left or right corner, how to fold papers, how to form group family cases, how to shelve and label them, etc. It also has a very detailed description on where to click on screen while working on cases. The link is:
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
The document is dated year 2001 but may have been revised since. Contents of this doc suggest that cases are first reviewed following some work distribution method, original mailroom RD is used wherever receive date is to be entered (automatically generated RD might be different though). PD is not part of initial data entry. Cases are placed in order of PD ONLY after they have been pre-adjudicated (shelved as 'waiting for visa number availablity'). etc. etc.
There is also a expedite procedure for cases with children between 20 and 21 years, where files are hand transferred from desk to desk.
Very interesting to read.
Amazing! thank you sharing.

I already fought this for three good years! I don't know how they allow L1 to enjoy in-state tuituion and not H1B. I provided liks to USCIS to ASU to prove that L1 and H1 are similar non-immigrant visa. I gave up after they could not provide any reasonable response.
Did you threaten them with a lawsuit. You would be surprised at what a threat like that can do.

[QUOTE=beppenyc]The problem in French is different. They bring the immigrants from Africa and North Africa to work to build the subway, La Defense (ask yourfriends),Eurostar ect ect. French has a controll of the number of immigrants, is not so difficult. The problem is that they put the immigrants living in the ghetto (Banlieu) and to not give any hope of future. When all the big project were done, they forced to sent the immigrants home, but without success. If you are really interest to see what is the reality in France, get this movie made in 1997, LA HAINE....
Yes, this is not a linear equation that illegals take American jobs and Amecans do not take menial jobs because of lower pay. If Americans were ever to take such jobs, and pays were higher, it would add to inflation, as beppenyc correctly points out. You have to be able to think strategically to understand this.
Now this issue about fairness for the legal immigrants. Normal wait time for this process is 5 to 6 years, if you are lucky. Which means that lives of such people are on "hold." They can't be promoted, accept salary increases. This is "tacit" exploitation. 5 to 6 years is a long time in US where things are more dynamic. How unfair. Also, per the law any social security they contribute will never be credited back to them because they have to work for atleast 10 years, the work visa duration is six year. Skilled workers make reasonable salaries so this is a huge amount of money which thay might never see.
Perceptions maybe far removed from reality. One of them is that immigrants will continue to bear injustice in US while globalization takes its toll on US competitiveness because of populist measures, that will hurt it in the long run.

HOUSTON: A federal jury has found five people guilty of conspiring to obtain fraudulent work visas for nearly 90 Indian nationals in exchange for at
least $20,000 per visa, the US Attorney's Office said.
Mahendrakumar "Mack" Patel, 55, Rakesh Patel, 36, Alberto Pena, 38, Bernardo Pena, 38, and Marte Othon Villar Sr, 48, encouraged and induced the illegal immigration of Indian nationals in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars per visa, a statement from the US Attorney's Office said yesterday.
The jury found that Alberto and Bernardo Pena, twin brothers from Brownsville, along with co-defendants had encouraged and induced 87 individuals from Gujarat to unlawfully enter US on temporary H-2B visas, knowing that the Indian nationals did not intend to work for the company that was used to get visas for them.
The brothers also knew that the visa-seekers did not intend to return to India when their 10-month visas expired, a statement said.
Pena twins also travelled to India to assist the Indian nationals with the application process and visited and corresponded with the US Consulate in Mumbai.
Two other co-defendants -- Mack Patel of Ft Worth and Rakesh Patel, a Houston pharmacist -- pleaded guilty for recruiting Indian citizens who were willing to pay $20,000 to $60,000 in exchange for visas to enter the United States

It was a great rally. Awesome job by the IV core team. It was very well organized. I thank all the IV core team members for that. I got to meet macaca and lots of other people.
Big round of applause to the CA members for showing up in such big numbers. I wished more people should have attended from the DC, NJ, MD and other neighboring states.
Overall it was a great day for IV !!!!

Our cases are different - in my case both me and wife were primary and dependent on respective cases.
Did you file a derivative 485 for yourself based on your wife's application before it was approved?
I think your lawyer made a huge mistake of not filing a derivative 485 application for you beginning of September when her PD got current, this would have ensured you got tagged along with her application, mere letter to look at your case when your priority date (2001 eb3) is not current doesn't make any logical sense...
Keep the hope... on the bright side your PD is 2001. Best wishes and good luck!

It is not just 10 days but over 375 days (from July-19-2007 to July-28-2008)
I can understand how you overlooked this. :)
Hello,
I am sure others might have noticed that 485 processing dates at NSC (for example) have literally crawled from the beginning of the year to now. Here are the processing dates (per USCIS status).
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
12/15/2007 Status - 04/24/2007
01/15/2008 - 07/19/2007
06/15/2008 - 07/28/2008
Thats roughly 9/10 days worth of 485 processing from mid-Jan to mid-Jun 2008. I wonder what the processing date looks like for the mid-July status update (which should probably be out tomorrow).

Well here is what I have thought of doing if I get into your shoes when I140, US GC looks dicey. (I already have Canadian PR till August 2010).
I would take a three/four week vacation and go and live there. Prepare for a job and get first hand ground feeling of what it feels like living in Canada, make a living and raise a family. After all making a living to able to support yourself is a important corner stone thing. You can't live of fresh air.
Can you compare your situation ? No. You are not the same nature, skills, personality, intelligence and willingness as others and most of all your own Luck. You know yourself best and the only way you can tell that the place will work out for you is when you go get a sample for yourself and your gut feeling. I went to Vancouver and just loved the place. My wife saw the clouds and gloom and hates the place (spoilt by southern california). You will be your best judge.
Take the harshest sample: Winter is tough in Canada. Go now and take a feel of what you will be expecting and set your expectation.
Info: Approx 90% of the Canadian population lives within 100-200 miles north of the US border.
Down the road: Make a plan and see whats your options down the road. Looking back is no good way of planning for the future. 3 years + few months, you can be Canadian Citizen. You have then the option of using TN and come right back into the USA, if you even have the need. Looking back now I feel I should have started this journey 2 years back. In the next year or so I would be a Canadian and could have come right back without the 140 and 485 headache. After two years I am still holding my breath for 140. Rightfully, Heaven is where I feel at peace. US has made me feel miserable and bitter after 9 years of rough rollercoaster and no end in sight. Can't buy a house, can't live freely, always on the edge and mercy of the Boss and H1B.
Having Canadian PR in hand is like having a bird in your Hand, and US GC is like two birds in the bush (I feel the birds are in Bush in Texas :) and its going to eat me, rather than I eating it) You don't even have the US Bird in sight and the story is getting tougher....
All options good. Go spend some time in Canada and see what your gut feel says.

My PD is Feb 2004, so I've been current for almost 2 months now. Though, my ND is 9/12/2007 and NSC is processing 7/14/2007, so that's not current yet...
