Most of the states had processed RIR cases till May 2002. N.J (05/2002) and
NY (10/2001) before all the applications were sent to BEC. So most of the
Applicants with these dates must have already got their Green Cards . Some of my friends with these dates have already got their GC some 1 year back.
It is Non-RIR cases which had 04/2001 processing times with NJ , NY being the states which were backlogged. It is these applications which would be
causing these delays. How many percentage of EB1 , EB2 , EB3
(Employement Category) applications might be in this process. ? If there are
less number of applications then Processing Dates may move forward to
2002 / 2003 for India.
Based on the serial numbering in the pre BEC scheme, there are an average of 1k-2k peteions from california alone for the 2002/2003 years. Many Indians amongst them. Thanks the BEC's most of them locked their PD's (hopefully).
If u look at the distribution for the fiscal year 2005, EB-2 did not use much of the surplus AC21 numbers. So why is EB2 retrogressed for India and China now. As somebody indicated in other threads, the USCIS may have suspended the AC21 act. But if they did that it wud not have moved to 2003 at all. So nobody really knows their formula.
Unless the state dept releases the statistics for the fiscal year 2006, we dont know what actually is happening. One thing though, they need to further break down the ROW EB3 and establish cutoff dates for other countries as well.
What about EB-3 (Inda). Hopefully it will move to 2002 very soon. After that i think it has better chances of moving up than EB-2 (India) if the USCIS is following the strict 7% limit.

hi All,
I didn't find any topic on this so asking a question in a new thread.
I got my GC last month. My company has some problem and requested to take pay cut (50%) for next 3 months. Will this effect my Green Card. I came to know that I should get the salary mentioned in the file at-least for next 6 month after getting the GC. Is this true?
Please help me, I have to take decision ASAP.
Thank you in advance.
Ditch him Man.

Hi!
My mom's a Gynecologist. She got her MBBS and MS from India in 1978. She has been working in India since then.
How can she start practicing in the United States? I have absolutely NO idea. I have heard about the USMLE Exam, but is it necessary for a person with 25+ years of experience? Will she have to do her medical-residency AGAIN?
Please advise.
OBGyn is generally 4 yr residency and knid of competitive these days. And yes u have to clear Step 1 and 2 definitly.
Had u been from middle eastern country, Hurley Medical Center in Flint would have been easy to go program. And if you are from certain part of India ( I'll give Satyam as hint ;)) , Synergy in Saginaw, MI would have been #1 choice.
No offense to anyone, so lets keep peace. :cool:

I think we may have spoken about this , but here is my question :
My wife has her passpot with visa stamped till June 2007 from my previous company. She has a new I-94 extended till 2008 July. She will be going to India in March and will be back in May (before June 2007 expiry of the visa on her passport). Here are my questions :
1. Will at the port of entry she would get the June 2007 on her I-94 or the extension I-94 date of July 2008. I know it will depend on the POE officer, but I want to know what has been the experience of such cases...?
2. In case she gets June 2007 on the I-94 at POE, can I get it corrected at the local CBP office to July 2008 after she is home here in US? Remember it's not a mistake by the POE officer but he/she giving preference to visa stamp and not the extension paper ?
3 Does it make sense for my wife to remind before hand about the extension at the POE and argue it ? Has anybone done that and is it safe ?

can one ask NSC and see if they have cashed check > they should be able to tell us by our last , frist name, social security etc ?
Where is the link of USCIS memo which talks about following
"There was a memo from USCIS for in-time receipt compliance for I-485 ( along with other forms) for 8/1 supposedly for June filers."
I have called CIS 2 times, they told me to wait until Aug 2nd week.

Can you guys think of an Immigration Voice jingle. A tune that is catchy.
IV members who have an eye for lyrics and music lets see what you got.
Let me try:
************************************************
"Immigration Voice, Immigration Voice, Immigration Voice Rocks!
When dark clouds of labor backlog envelops my domain
Immigration Voice is one sure place that can help my spirits regain
Lot of questions and a long wait for my green card
Immigration Voice is where I get sage advise from the bard
Waiting in vain for the FBI name check, years wasted in pain and my career is a ship wreck.
In the dark storm, one shining light, like minded people who share my plight
One day I will wake up from this nightmare,
I am sure of the success, I sometimes wonder why don't the lawmakers give this cause the care
One day soon, I will become a proud story,
One more American dream, till then Immigration Voice makes me forget my worry
I feared that I just couldn't cope, but wait, I listen to the voice of encouragement,
Silver lining on a dark cloud, one single ray of hope
Immigration Voice, Immigration Voice, Immigration Voice Rocks!
***********************************************
Please improve
Cheers!

A lot of discussion happened on this topic in the past and the general consensus was that it will boomerang on us. We should not be demonstrating/protesting/demanding.
Welcome to the world of white collar politics.:)
This is ridiculous, there is a saying that even a mom doesn't feed her own child unless he cries.
I strongly feel that we should make a genuine effort.

I want to share the experience of one of my friends who recently went for visa stamping.
He went to Mumbai Consulate with his family for H1B and H4 visa stamping on 08/25/2009. Here are his basic details.
*He got his H1B approved through October 2011.
*He has his GC process on.
*He had originally come here on B1B2 visa about six years back and got the visa converted into H1B visa.
*His current employer is his third change of jobs and have been with this employer for the past 3 years.
*He has his I 140 approved for about a years time and has EAD, and AP valid through October 2008.
His Experience
Their appointed time for visa stamping was 9.00am and their turn came at about 11.00am.The Visa Officer asked my friend routine questions about how he got his first job and he answered exactly as his lawyer had advised. The VO asked him questions about his current employer, what the company was doing, how many employees did the company have et al. She asked him a specific question as to why he went to the US first and why his family joined him later initially although they got the B1B2 visa together. To this he replied that his sons were students in India and they had their terminal exams in September back then.
Then she asked him as to whether he had his credentials with him. He showed her his degree certificates as well as copies of his membership certificates of Chartered Accountancy. She looked at all the originals and then conveyed to him that there were inconsistencies on his certifacates with his original B1B2 visa application and that she will call them later. My friend gave her a copy of his credential evaluation for all the degree certificates.
They were stranded at the consulate for another two hours when another VO announced their names. She was an Indian lady who asked him a silly question about CA institute and as to why he did not mention the name of the city where the institute belonged to. My friend replied that it was an all india institute head quartered in New Delhi. He also conveyed to her that he had given them a copy of his membership as a fellow ( CAs receive the membership certificate as a fellow after they complete public accounting practice as an accountant for five years). She then conveyed to him that she will call him later if required. After about one and half hour further the original visa officer called their name and conveyed to them that there was some further investigation needed to be done on their case. Gave them a yellow letter that stated that he will get an e-mail from the consulate office and they do not need to come back. She gave four VFS envelopes for all of them and asked my friend to wait for the e-mail. She told him that there was nothing to worry about in his case bla bla bla...
My friend and his family had their tickets booked back to US on 08/30/08 from Mumbai. He called his lawyer in US and sought his advise. The lawyer advised that ideally my friend should wait for the e-mail and extend his stay in India. To which my friend replied that he had already availed three weeks of vacation and that he needed to go back to US. They waited with baited breath for the e-mail from the consulate that never came. My friend meanwhile managed an e-mail from his boss that asked him to resume his work on Monday September 02, 2008.
They took the risk and came back to LAX on 08/31/08 and did not encounter any problem using their Advanced Parole documents.
This morning my friend received an e-mail from the Consulate Office in Mumbai that stated that the administrative process for the non-immigrant visa application on his case had been completed and asked him to come at the Consulate on any working day in the morning with yellow letter, VFS envelope, and documents pertaining to visa application. But the last sentence on the e-mail read as under, " Personal appearance is required. Please carry a copy of this email for ready reference."
Gurus! anybody with previous experience like this please share your experience that will help my friend decide as to what he needs to do!

Lately the members of IV have come to know that Aman Kapoor, the co-founder of IV has sold his house and spent around $64000/- towards the administrative costs of IV. This too was brought to our attention from a regular member like you and me, without which this would not have come to our knowledge at all.
So some of the members have taken an initiative to reimburse Aman and other core IV team members with the expenses they have incurred so far towards the administrative costs of IV. Note that the time they have spent and the sufferings cannot be compensated. Let us do the least by atleast compensating the money. Please do not donate directly to IV funds.
There is a funding drive in this other thread towards reimbursing the administrative costs of IV.

Could you please pledge an amount ?
