I had my visa interview in Mumbai on Dec 28th. A PIMS Verfication was required for them to be able to issue me a visa. This is for an H1-B extension of stay - My six years expired in Nov. 2007 and my green card is in process.
I was told the time they are taking for procesing is 48 hours but I still have not received any notification to take my papers to the VFS center.
Has anyone in this situation already received their visa and stamped passport and if so how long did it take?

Yes, we must all understand that AC21 is not a law.
The correct way of stating it is AC21 Act of 2000, signed by Pres. Clinton is law of the land. But, that law doesn't come into effect until and unless the concerned Government department (in this case USCIS) publishes the regulations in the Federal Register. This hasn't happened so far with AC21 law, though we are approaching a decade of it's passage.
An unfortunate example I can give to illustrate the point is the U & T visas created by US Congress some years back to help victims of sexual-trafficking and domestic violence to remain in the country and adjust status to LPRs. Unfortunately for these hapless victims, they couldn't get the benefit of these visas as USCIS did not make the regulations for years. ( I'm not sure of the status now).
There is a saying that 'what the legislature gave in the law, the department took away in regulations'. Department can deny the benefits in two ways. Delaying/not framing the regulations or framing them in such a way as to take away the benefits of the law.

Hi guys
Just now (12.30 PM EST) I got a mail from USCIS saying your application has been approved. I didn't do anything (never opened SR or contacted Senator) but last week I did had an info pass appointment which was useless. MY PD was Feb 2005 EB2 INDIA (The fun part is My AP and EAD are still pending for over 4 months)
Wish you good luck guys
Thanks again
Congrats ..

Can somebody please answer my question?? does anybody have experience filing the I-485 themselves instead of using a lawyer???
also, what is advance parole?? and why it is needed?? Thanks
I think you should be able to file the 485 yourself. The form is simple. If you can get a lawyer to do it and get all the appropriate 140 approval docs- the better, but I don't foresee any issues "doing-it-yourself".
Advace Parole is a travel document that lets you return back into the US without a H1B stamp on your passport. The AP has to be renewed every year along with the EAD (employment authorization doc) card.
Hope this answers your question. -- Now lets go back to sending faxes and calling senators.

Sending flowers is a nice way of showing protest.
Gandhi's methods are aimed at changing the heart of adversaries by doing good to them.
So, a blood donation drive is also a worthy next step to this.
But we also should make sure that the news is spread to common people too.

Also, how is the spillover going to be distributed among EB3? First EB3 ROW and then EB3 C/I as in the old system?
Personally, I think the visa recapture bill would help things quite a bit.
The idea here is to get USCIS to follow the law
Yes, the old system will be restored. Please note that this is the only sure fire way of EB3-I going forward. There is some comments that EB3-I can really only benefit if EB2-I goes current with the current horizontal spill over rules. Such statements are clearly misleading. Eb3-I will not directly be impacted by EB2-I being current. It just allows EB3 to get a lot of numbers which will first be used by EB3-ROW before spilling over into EB3-I.
With this change, we get EB3ROW move ahead faster, it probably would have been C had the rules been followed, and EB3 would have started moving ahead.
The only way for EB3 to move ahead is for EB3-ROW to become current, nothing else will help EB3 beyond the visa recapture (which is iffy at best). If we get USCIS to follow rules, this happens sooner, and EB3-I starts to move sooner. If not, EB3-I shall wait for a long time.

Unfortunately there is no law that clearly prohibits descrimination based on visa status (at least I am not aware of one). In fact the legal pressure is just for the opposite, that puts additional burden on the companies to make effort in hiring local workers first. The corporation can always say they have a policy to not hire someone with temporary work permit and there is no law against it. It is sad but that's how it is.
Yes there is one. I was teaching Consumer Ed for ELL students (at high school level) and we were studying how to deal with interviews. According to the law (please refers to DOL agencies- They can help you) NO BODY can ask you if you are a citizen or legal resident during an interview. They can only ask you if you are authorized to work in USA legally. If they ask you if you are a citizen it is discriminatory and you have the right to do not answer explaining your rights. A good HR guy knows about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So this guy from Capital One made a huge mistake to mention the EAD (he could be fired because repercussion of this email. Of course they can discriminate when they are going to make a final desition.It happens in USA a lot. If you have a pregnant woman probably you are going to choose one who is not. But this is not the point. The point is that if you tell the girl sorry but we don’t hire pregnant women they are death!!!!!
Please find more information at DOL website. Many Universities have fliers explaining your rights in HR office.

By Mr. Cannon:
"NNCPS is partnering with other Agencies to provide contractors and personnel to process name checks. For example, the FBI and USCIS have implemented a key initiative to use contractor resources to prioritize the processing of "Single-Hit" USClS Name Check requests, that is, pending name check requests that have only one FBI file potentially identified with it that needs to be reviewed in order to process the request. By applying contractor resources to process these "Single Hit" requests, the FBI may significantly reduce the pending USClS name check workload."
Are they interested in national security or just numbers of processed name checks? Why not create a special team to handle requests with the high number of "hits" as those are much more dangerous potentially for the national security?

Sorry to hear all these stories.
I always fly either Singapore or Cathay Pacific (i am from California) and i never encountered these problems at the transit points (Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul etc). Infact Singapore is one of the most pleasant airports for any layover. Usually, whenever i fly Singapore, i have a layover of over 9 hours, but the airport is so huge and so many nice facilities that one rarely gets bored (You can get a complementary tour of the city too, courtesy Singapore tourism or get a nice room inside the airport to relax, get a massage...). Add to that, ppl are so friendly there and you can see many Asians (Indians etc) working there that the environment is friendly and non-hostile, unlike most of th European transit points. (Earlier, i have flown via Frankfurt, Amsterdam where ppl were really hostile, as though every colored Asian that passes through their airports is a terrorist or an inferior human ...sick!)
Anyways..if you can take an extra flight from the east coast, please do try Singapore airlines from SFO or LAX and see the difference (no, no, i am not being paid to say good words about them :-))...

Folks, all other issues can wait. AC21 is one silver lining in the GC journey which is otherwise filled with the dark clouds of Retrogression. We shouldn't let this benefit be taken away from us through unfair denials.
You may not be a AC21 beneficiary now, but may have to avail it sooner or later if the economy continues to tank, like it's doing now. Most economists don't see economy recovering for couple more years.
Act now, instead of regretting later.
