Do we need to give a strong justification for using TATKAL (expedite) service? Or just sending an additional $150 with a covering letter going to do the trick?

I don't know that much about immigration and what I do know, is blurred by the amount of information out there - that said, I do think that a bill that represents the people contributing to the betterment of this county by working in their specific fields is a good thing. And it gives way to a cleaner system to evaluate immigrants. I would rather have heard a no in the beginning than be approved and sit around waiting for the forseeable future.

All these ideas have been debated several times before and there have been too many bills that didnt go anywhere. It's probably wiser to try to push the bills that have already been introduced than to push new ones and waste more time. My experience is the more the number of bills floating around, the more the excuses to not do anything on the active bill but tendency to attach it to a newer bill ad hence buy more time till next election and then next and then next. seen it, been there and tracked it for over 5 years. I undertsand your pain, we all do, I also undertsand the frustration.
I have been active with IV even before you came here (since 2006) so don't question my sincerity. I do agree that my manner was too sarcastic and you seem like an overly sensitive kind of guy and you probably like things sugar coated-here it is-good idea, thought by many, several times before your eureka moment. Fact is- Bills (eventually they will all be merged ino one) are not likely to succeed till 2011, as it's a non-election year and something might happen with bills already there. With the weak economy no party can afford to look immigrant friendly (legal/illegal irrespective) when there is 10% unemployement rate in local population. They already know the difference between illelgal and legal and highly skilled. It suits them to pretend to not undertsand the dfference. Think like them, it's their career and it's all business. Just remember it's usually never personal.
Do know that we are all going through same shit and are on the same team.

Hi Summitpointe,
I think you can take info pass appointment and show them EB2 approved I-140 with priority date as Spt 2004. Last year I also converted my EB3 to EB2 but my lawyer filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently around Aug 2010 and USCIS rejected the application saying priority date is not current for the first time. My lawyer filed is second time with old fees stating that when application originally filed with old fees they again rejected and finally 3rd time with new fees they did accepted applications. For my case they approved my EB2 I-140 and 485 just same day....... and got my n my spouse's green cards... after painful immigration journey....
All the best !!!
I would like to take this opportunity to Thank Immigration Voice Forum... Its a great place to seek help for any issues related to Immigration ...

Hi,
My priority date is Dec 05 (EB2 India) and my case is with TSC. I got approval emails for myself and my son (we both are derivative of the I-485 application filed by my wife) two days back but my wife's I-485 application is still pending.
Is it normal that derivative applications are approved while that of the primary applicant is pending? Should I follow-up or wait for couple of more days? Anyone in the same situation?
Any input will be appreciated.
Thx.

Hi I am in process of filing 2nd PERM EB2 next month, my attroney says if the new position and job req is different then I should be fine(which is different than my previous Eb3 with 140 approved, Other Contries). But during my research I found some of the people are saying if 2nd PERM is file for Same employee , diff postion with same employer , it will hang at DOL for ever and I also found below posting only on Zhang & Associate:
DOL�s Rules about Multiple PERM Filings for the Same Person
About the PERM multiple filings, the DOL recently confirmed that if an employer has an APPROVED PERM application and files a second PERM for the same employee and a different occupation, the DOL will issue an audit requesting the return of the first application or an explanation of why there is a second application being filed and the first application can not be returned. The DOL is working on providing an FAQ which outlines acceptable situations where they will approve a subsequent PERM application.
The DOL also stated that if an employer has an APPROVED PERM application and files a second PERM for the same employee and the same occupation that the case will be auto denied. The DOL acknowledged that this poses a problem because there are valid reasons (e.g. change in worksite location) for filing a subsequent case and is working on this situation. In the meantime, the employer must either decide to withdraw the first case before filing the second case or file a motion to reconsider on the second case if it is denied explaining why it couldn�t withdraw the first case.

Can we make all threads for only members for a short period of time and see the results if it is an easy thing to do ?
Hi All,
I think the reason that we do not have many members is that many people go to the website immigration voice and as the access is avaliable to read all posts without a log in and password they read and never want to become a member.
do u think this can be one of the reasons.
i am not sure just a thought.
thanks

Thanks for the offer, but this is just a preliminary meeting for me to meet some of the people I have worked with over the past year via phone and email. However, since these people have some influence, I also wanted to discuss with them some of the more important issues facing skilled immigrants. I will mention the idea of meeting with more people in the future. I think it is important for them to be more in touch with those who are affected by immigration policies. My sense is that many of them don't understand the issues very well.
Totoro,
Very sure that you can help in making them understand the issues.
We can also write/fax to the officials who can help us if they have a better understanding of our plight. I'm thinking of sending a fax/letter to Sheila Jackson Lee, Janet Napolitano, Senator Richard Durbin, Linda Sanchez and Zoe Lofgren.
Not sure how much this will help but definitely want to go this route.
Please share your opinion. - Thanks.

what you say makes no sense absolutely
I will elaborate. EB2 was current untill September 30th 2005. So where does the 2003 "screeching blah blah" come into effect?
Besides ike I have posted countless times...there were only 2000+ approvals for Labor certifications for India between march2005 and october 2005
and only 7000 labor certifications for India between march 2005 and december 2005.
These include a number of labor certifications for other worker categories. I myself saw at least 500 pipefitters and welders and joiners whose labor certification had been approved from Louisiana (maybe cos of katrina)
so if the priority dates have to move for EB2 they will move to jan 2006 (like the chinese have) or remain at 2004

This won't fly because the simplistic model for immigration bills is -
D(hispanic) + D(labor) + D(neutral) + R(business) + R(nativist) + R(neutral) < Enough votes to pass Congress
I agree, this is the way politics works most of the time. lobby for votes, etc.
But isn't it also their job to do what is in the best interest of the Nation. Everything isn't decided by lobbies.
Maybe we're approaching this the wrong way, in trying to build competing lobby. it needs a new approach. Congress should be convinced in a different way.
Lobby is for optional, nice to have things, which will not be generally missed if they fail.
Legal immigration is none of these and is almost mandatory. Imagine losing for eg. 200K EB3s. another 50K doctors.

Thanks a lot. I am a CA PR so I may go to CA to get my visa stamped for H4. Does my wife need to travel too although she does not need any visa stamping ? Can h4 be denied ? Just being curious. Also change of status should be filed within how many days of quitting the job ?
One other option you can pursue is to just go out of the country (Canada/Mexico) immediately after quiting your job and get H4 stamping and come back on H4....I would advise to talk to a lawyer regarding the first option.....Good luck with your MBA...

It is good to see the combined Immigration community efforts are bringing results. However, it appears that no attention is being paid to raise the issue of children ageing out because of visa retrogression and delay in labor clearance. The Child Status Protection Act(CSPA) passed in the year 2002 hardly provides any relief to I-140 based immigration petitions. While for I-130 (for US Citizens) applicants the date of child is frozen on the date of submission of I-130 form it-self, but for employment based immigrant applicants this Act provides a complicated way to calculate the child�s age and it just provides relief for any processing delays in 1-140 clearance only. It just ignores the fact that we have years of retrogression for employment-based category. At the time when this act was passed there was no retrogression in employment-based category and lawmakers perhaps never thought of hardship, which children and families may face because of the retrogression.
We need to raise our voice on this issue too. My son is going to miss out the chance of getting his green card just because his age works out as per formula given in CSPA Act to be 21 years and 12 days � because of 12 days my family may be penalized to be separated from our child whereas no one is going to consider 3 years delay in labor case in my case and then another 13 months we have to wait for filing 1485 after approval of I-140. Mine case was the most unfortunate in the sense that I got my I-140 approval in just 29 days whereas in all cases the normal time is 3-6 months. Had it taken 2 months, my son would have got the benefit under CSPA.
I hope some one from Immigration Voice leadership team will take a lead to highlight such issues also before the law makers.
Can any IV core member take this issue??. Thanks.
