Didn't most of us came to US through "Desi Companies/Body Shopper/Outsourcer"?
Now that we are feeling the pinch, we want to close this door for the other folks?
Guys, this is pinnacle of hypocrisy. Please convince me how this is different from the Anti Immigrants??
Please note. I have no axe to grind and I have never worked for Desi Company/Body Shopper/Outsourcer.
Coming to US via Infy/TCS/Wipro is diff from coming to USA via small time desi shops that take a deposit for H1 processing (totally illegal).
Having said that - applying in EB1 just because you have 2 ppl reporting to you is totally unethical. (It's not illegal since Infy, CTS do it all the time)

Since I did not know how to write my name in my native alphabet, I askd my wife to write it for me. Is this an issue? Is there any requirement that one must write the name in native alphabet in one's own handwriting?
You're kidding, right?

Sure, the USCIS will ofcourse remind certain people to apply for the Travel documents: Why not?
After all (1) $305 from pre-July 30, 2007 (I485) applicants (and many, many of such applicants) will count to make the USCIS (and the US) "rich." (2) Keeping the chain of advance parole and EAD's will prevent this country from giving permanency to the "foreigners." Goodness, gracious, we are taking away their jobs...remember....

Thank you for starting this thread.
I still feel that we need a separate bill for legal immigration or some amendments to the existing law to ease our plight. Clubbing us together with issues of 'undocumented workers' have two possible outcomes:
1) The bill does not clear at all. If there is so much resistance to the bill in the senate, imagine the resistance that it will receive in the house and the various voting processes that it has to go through.
2) The bill clears along with the provisions for the 'undocumented workers'. The USCIS is understaffed to handle the rush of applications that will flow in due to the passage of the bill, making the backlogs much more time-consuming than what it is today. Even though there would be enough visa numbers available, the wait times will nullify any mileage that is gained for legal immigration through the bill.
I think, passage of Frist bill with no 'guest worker' provisions for 'undocumented workers' or a separate bill altogether dedicated to legal immigration provisions are our safest bets.
Any thoughts?
All,
I posted another thread asking folks to thank core members for their sacrifice and great leadership. But at the same time few members like to "excercise their
freedom of voice" & We should all agree that constructive debate & sometimes criticism brings in new ideas and better path.
We should define ground rules for ourselves which will lead to efficient use of core members time:
1) Ensure that we make every effort to find answer before asking question/suggestion/complaint.
2) Keep one long thread without duplication.
3) Understand that Core members have job/family , so they have limited bandwidth .. please exercise patience.
4) Maintain civil constructive discourse, Which has a referanceble information if You want to send a link to a lawmaker or any other authority/influencer/potential volunteer or help someone become a wellwisher.
5) Understand the limitations of IV/lobbyist , So help them to make things happen & don't expect gurantees.
6) Never use derogatory remarks, even against proven distractors.
7) Please put forward only genuine concerns clearly to avoid misunderstanding
8) Ignore "whiners", But fully respect people with genuine concern/objection.
9) Please put forward only thoughts relevent to scope of current forum/discussion..
.. eg. "Discussing the gramatical mistake of someone's message is not relavent to this forum .." .
10) Always keep in mind that this is public forum , so It is our responsibility to show ourselves collectively in positive light
by not only passionate for our cause , But also professional in our responses.
Please add other ground rules, So that we can have a good platform to discuss our issues and influence the working of IV to begin with & US congress eventually.Thisshould be good forum for members like me, who can't fully participate because of demanding schedule, others please participate other ways too.

I got a bunch that has photocopies from my lawyer of everything that went out to USCIS. 485, EAD, AP for myself and my wife.
Everything is ok, except that there is an extra copy of G 28 each for myself and my wife and these extra copies are not signed by attorneys.
In the middle of the package, right above the 485 forms, there are G28 forms that are properly signed. Everywhere else there is signatures where needed. But at the bottom of the bunch, there is extra G28 for each one of us that is missing signature from the attorney.
Could this be a problem? Also, where is the URL for USCIS FAQ that states under what conditions that petitions can boomerang back to us?
You are totally fine. According to the I-485 standard operating procedure, page 10, the following are the instructions for the mailroom person :
"Verify the G-28 for original signature of attorney and applicant. If
only one copy has been submitted and you have concurrently filed
applications, photocopy the G-28 for each application and initial
the copies with your employee number. Annotate the processing
worksheet".

Hi Chapsi29,
Do not get panic, there is no hard and fast rule that they will ask for RFE in ur case. Say if they come up with RFE they will ask ur employer to support with financial status as 140 is employer based, some time they approve ur 140 with out any hassle, so best of luck. Keep ur fingures crossed.

jonty_11, sundevil:
Isn't it possible that "sts_seeker" did not buy a subst LC or secure it illegally? Are you going to assume he's guilty unless proven innocent?
What if he's working for a decent company, and the company had a LC available because one of their employees left? What would they do with the LC other than offer it to another deserving employee? And why shouldn't "sts_seeker" take it if it was offered through perfectly legal channels?
You guys have a problem when DOS/USCIS does something illegal. But you have a problem even when "sts_seeker" and his/her company did something perfectly legal!
Your fellow senior members "nixstor", "tikka", "ramus", etc are working hard to get people to contribute to IV. And here, you are driving new members (and potential contributors) away?
Before replying to this, please read my disclaimer below. I have to add it given the fact how hot-headed/short-tempered members have been in the last few days where they will flame someone just because their opinions differ.
Thanks,
Jayant
P.S.: And for the record, I have not applied for GC using a subst LC. I know you must be itching to ask me this since I am offering a different opinion.
Disclaimer: These are my opinions. You don't have to agree with them. If you disagree, just ignore them. I am not interested in justifying anything that you might have to say. I would, however, reply to a civil and a healthy discussion.

I was in the same situation. My application sent on June 8, received June 11 was entered in the system in July second week while my spouse's application was entered in the system today. There seems to be some delay in processing June second week applications, this is just from my observations from various posts and following . Rest assured you will receive the receipt. I was panicked regarding my application whether it is returned or lost or denied.
When I looked at the I-485 adjudicators manual (available at USCIS website) I found out that all applications are entered in the system even if it is routed be returned back to the applicant for whatever reason. It is simply not possible to not to have an application in the system. So I guess it is matter of time before you will get the receipt. Check with USCIS customer service reps, they are very friendly. If you don't hear anything in another day or two open a service request. This was advised to me by USCIS customer service rep. It usually take 30 days to receive a response but at least you will be assured that someone is looking at it. NSC has issued a notice saying all the applications will be receipted by Aug 01, so wait till then and if you don't hear from them refile the whole thing again as a last resort.
Hope this helps. Good Luck !!!
Hi ,
Our attorney mailed our applications to NSC on 7thJune and thru USPS tracking number, we know it has reached NSC on11th June early morning. Have called NSC 5 times in last 3weeks, but every time, I am told our data is not in the system.... Our attorney is asking us to hold on for some more time, till he hears from his bank if the checks have been encashed??? But till now, no news...
Kindly let us know, if anybody who have filed at same time and have not yet received any update???
Thanks in advance!!!!

Ramesh,
Try to get as much info about this acquisition. I was in simillar situation. Company I used to work with got acquired by another company. and that time our labor was pending. We had to start process all over again and end up losing our two year of PD, because New company was located in different state. their tax id was different etc.
My advice to you is consult with good attorney.
Here is my situation:
My sponsoring company 'A' was acquired by company 'B' last month and name changed to company 'B' with B's pay stubs.
Am on H1 now and i applied my 485 in August 2007 with 140 approved in May 2007.
Company B informed me that they informed USCIS regarding the acquisition(i don't what they mean !!).
Questions:
1. How is my green card process proceeds with company 'B'? Should the company 'B' file I140 amendment or is there any thing they have to take care?
2. Can i join with company 'C' by invoking AC21?
Please share your thoughts and experiences.

That is GREAT!
I can understand what you have gone through and it must be a big relief for you !
Can you tell us when did you resubmit your application and what fee did they accept..old or new. A friend of mine resubmitted his application a few days ago with new fee... his original app was rejected earlier because his attorney sent thre wrong fee amount...(neither new nor old..)
Good luck and enjoy the feleing now
Thanks. When refiling we submitted checks to cover old fee and an additional check to cover the difference for new fee. I don't know at this point what checks they cashed. For sure, USCIS us being very lenient and cooperative given the volume of cases, July fiasco etc..
I am very positive that your friends filing will get through as well.

Also, what is the address for Texas Service Center if I want to send it by FedEx or UPS?

I had replied to RFE two weeks back and did not get any updates online.
That is why I called.
The officer told me my application is with the officer. I have no idea what that means. He asked me my receipt number and I gave him the WAC#.
Let me know if you have questions.
