My wife and I went for the medical examination 1.5 years ago, when we thought we'll be eligible to file shortly. We still have those sealed envelopes. However, the time passed and I understand we need to undergo the exam again for our June filing, correct?
The first time around my wife had a positive skin test (immunized in childhood) and negative Xray. Back then she was advised to never do the skin test again, as it'll always be positive. So, she'll need to go for an Xray this time. However, she is pregnant, and they don't Xray pregnant women... Is she an exempt then? There gotta be a provision for something like this, right?
Thanks.

My wife and me went for the medical test today. We had a baby boy a few months back. They didnt do the immunization and skin test for my wife but did the HIV test. They said they would mention the same in 693 document that the test were not done because she is nursing a baby. But this doesnt mean that she is exempted from immunizations and TB test. She would need to come back and do the immunization after 3 months and the doctor would keep a record of it and INS would varify it later with doctor about the test results.

I'd would definitely schedule a consult with another attorney. There is nothing that ties you to this particular attorney prior to the actual filing. I highly recommend getting a local attorney (same state as your employment location), they will be more familiar with state labor agency idiosyncrasies. Make sure to get a recommendation from a friend or colleague, don't pick a name out of the phone book or take your employer's recommendation.

[for each person who signs on, they need to give their name, their employer�s name, their case number, and their filing date.]
Here is how I think we should collect this information:
- Everyone who wants to support this initiative send (snail mail) a piece of paper with their Name, Company Name, Case Number, Filing Date, Audit Date and Signature at the end, to an address (to be determined). These cases will be attached to the template/letter above and sent to the Inspector General.
That way we will have one letter, but individual signatures and cases, all in one package.
Any suggestions?

if I get lucky enough to get picked out of the pool of people that will become current and see any LUDs or god forbid a greencard I will let you know....
I am debating if calling them on April 1st to ask for my status will help them pick me? But then there might be so many people calling....??!!
Good luck everyone!
So far on this poll 92 applicants are CURRENT, that is about 1/2 of all the polled applicants.
Can you guys give us an update where things are.... anything happening?
How many of you have already gotten the GC ?

If you think any fraud is going on or there is a law being misused you must complain to USCIS and Ombudsman. Unless it is reported nobody in a position of power will know about it and nothing will be done to stop it.
Can you please let us know the procedure? I'm very much interested in filing a formal complaint with the CIS and Ombudsman. I'm not against genuine candidates getting their GC through MNC executive category, but would like to stop this malpractice.

Can't pick stocks in this Volatile market, but one thing is certain the markets will be volaile for some time now. So I suggest be long Vega. Pick a stock where the implied vol is higher than historical vol (you will find plenty. Eg C) and put on an option straddle. Sure to make money.
This is not a day trading strategy but a derivatives trade.
Please also recommend stocks for tomorrow...

If your wife has an approved extension of H4 till 2010 and you are expecting her H1 to be effective on 1 oct - why do you want to apply for extension again with the new company.
I'm not sure if you *have* to apply for an extension for her when you switch your job. Best thing - if you want to take the job - say *yes* to the job offer with a condition that there should not be any issues for your wife. Your new company can connect you with their lawyer and in a meeting you would be able to know the exact scenario.
Having said that and knowing how the sentiments go for lawyers :-) , if you want to play it safe - say *yes* tomorrow, talk to their lawyer and get it confirmed that there are no risks, start the paperwork and in parallel, talk to a lawyer of your own choice ( you would need to spend some money ) and get reconfirmation of the same. If both lawyers have the same answer and you feel comfortable, go ahead with your change.
Today has been a crazy day and you posted this question on such a day - on any regular day someone or the other would have surely helped you with better answers but thats all I can help you with today.... hope things work out for the best for you.

This is one hell of a great post - examining different reasons why non-GC holders have or haven't bought a home.
One of the things that we need to understand is that for many of us India still represents that "safe and secure" boat that we really had to jump out of physically to come here to the United States and there is no reason for us NOT to make that transition emotionally, spiritually and in every walk of life. After all we hope to get GCs because we want to make the United States our permanent home. Therefore physically holding a GC really shouldnt decide if you need to buy a home in the US or not - especially if you have 'intended' to make the United States your home permanently.
I bought a home 2 years ago and although the economy and housing market is down - on account of which I have lost a percentage of the value of my home. I am not here to feel bad or complain about it. I do understand that from a financial standpoint there is a level of risk involved in investing in a home with or without a GC, as is with every other thing in life. One thing that we need to understand is that a home is not the investment, or its growth, or its safety and the overly protective need to save it. There is no guarantee that there would have been a reduced level of risk involved by buying a home in India, if we lived there. But that said one must still be very careful to ensure that the delicate balance of measuring the financial ability to buy a home and match it in such a way that it does not hinder nurtuting the family that resides in there. I agree that the financial decision to buy a house to make a home out of it, needs to be done very carefully with great thought in mind such that this investment doesn't hinder the delicate dynamics and quality of life of the family members who are making the house a home.
A home is the fond memories, the happy and sad times, the times of enjoying the unique relationships with each other the God has given us - and the bonds of love and affection that pull the family together - and this must be enjoyed irrespective of the investment and financial obligations it brings, since it truly is a labour of love. A home for each of us is what we strive to make of it; our attitude, ability to love and nurture our family, ablilty to derive peace and contentment from the relationships we have; and a willingness to integrate and assimilate into American Life; since by virtue of getting / accepting a GC we agree that the United States is our permanent home.

Please note that even tho the dates have moved, we are not out of the woods. There is a definate possibililty that the dates could regress in October. If you choose consular processing and your category/country retrogresses then it will have implications. Talk to your lawyer before taking any decision.
If you are lucky then its straightforward, for some its a nightmare, namecheck can take some time in the meantime your category can regress.
I'm trying to make decision to pick consular or Adj. status.
Please, can somebody tell me the flow on Adj. status here.
1-File 485.
2. Finger Print notice (you said around 30 days)
3.?? (medical??)
4.?? (FBI??)
5.??
and total approximate time for same center for all family.
I really apreciate if you can also write your experience to compare Consular and Adj. status.
Thanks

06/20/2006: Eerie Silence on Immigration in Beltway and Our Report Policy
* Washington, D. C. is usually a center and sources of news for government policies, including legislation, that determines our lives. This is particularly true with the immigration. Nowadays, however, the Beltway is eeriely silent on immigration both at the level of legislation and at the level of government agencies. Obviously, this is a hot summer and vacation season. Besides, every issue is poised to the midterm national election. But this is somewhat unusual.
* Under the circumstances, this web site considers any discussion of comprehensive immigration reform legislation pointless and we will cease our review and discussion on this issue on our site at least for awhile. We have thus removed the Q&A for S. 2611. We have decided that we would rather review some complicated immigration issues that most of immigrants face day in and day out regardless of the activities in the Beltway.
* As for the ongoing policies and practices of the government agencies, we expect that the representatives from these agencies in the AILA National Conference in San Antonio will be able to supply to the thirsty mouth of immigrants drops of waters. This reporter will report the news from San Antonio conference site from tomorrow. There are some hot issues which the immigrant community hopes to learn as to the agencies' future direction and timelines. Sometimes, these officials wait and break certain news at the AILA National Conferences each year. We will wait and see what those news could be. Please stay tuned to this website for the "Washington Update" report by this reporter from San Antonio.

Is there anyone here in this forum who has file I-485 without a birth certificate. meaning instead of birth certificate what document did you use? could you please share it with us. Thanks.
Here is what my attorney recommended-
1. Get a "Non-Available Certificate" from the municipality
2. Get 2 people to provide affidavit (close relatives) in support of your birth date.
Hope this is helpful. Check with your attorney too.

So there is a possibility that they will issue August Bulletin with limited date movement and act like July bulletin events never happened? Man, and we keep thinking they cannot sink any lower.
Is there a written rule that they have to request number only when they are about to approve a 485? Or is it just been a USCIS procedure. In the latter case they can change it when they want. Then they would have played everything by the rule.
1. On Jun 12 th there were lot of numbers.
2. July 2nd numbers were gone, through USCIS requests.
3. But wait a minute come July 10th some were returned(which is also legal). Now DOS may say numbers are not zero and potentially issue Aug bulletin with June dates or little movement.
4. Every new application now gets them higher fee.
And this could potentially be defense against the lawsuit. May be I am giving too much credit to USCIS but this has the makings of a great book for some official when he/she quits this administration(Like lot of others who have done this earlier).
So is it possible that the following was USCIS' plan all along in a bid to (1) force applicants to pay the higher fees and (2) reduce the number of applications they would receive. So let's try and see where USCIS or DOS acually broke the law. BTW, the following is pure speculation on my part.
1. DOS makes all categories current in the visa bulletin dated June 12.
2. This screws up USCIS's plans. So they have to force the DOS to issue a revision before July 1st.
3. USCIS frantically starts requesting visa numbers. Even for 485s with pending FBI checks.
4. Come July 2nd, USCIS still hasn't used up all the 60,000 or so numbers, but still informs DOS that all visa numbers have been exhausted.
5. DOS publishes a revised visa bulletin dated July 02 where everthing becomes unavailable.
6. USCIS acts on DOS revised visa bulletin and decides to reject all I-485s filed on July 02 and beyond.
7. July 05 onwards, USCIS starts returning the numbers to DOS. This could be for applications that have pending FBI checks.
8. DOS now decides to use some caution before issuing August bulletin. They will probably not make all categories current, but will probably shift them by a few months based on June bulletin.
9. USCIS now gets all new applications with higher fees and a reduced number of applications.
Please add to this sequence of events if you think I missed anything.
IMHO, USCIS broke the law in #4. And DOS broke the law in #5 if it was aware that visa numbers were still being issued as of July 02.
Thanks,
Jayant
