I just wrote a letter detailing my frustrations and attached with it the documents. I don't think the call was anything big deal.....it was more a courtesy call an image improving call...we were not told anything that we didn't know already.....USCIS always raised more questions than answering them.......
The address is:
To reach the Secretary
Secretary Janet Napolitano
Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528
Today, I again talked to TSC POJ again the same thing I can issue Biom notice for you too..I asked is it possible that the adjudicating IO is on vacation or (well I didn't ask "dead" or "alive" she 'd cut the phone...she said she can send an email to the IO that I am concerned.....I said plz do....not even sure if she will do that....my faith in USCIS is dwindling since day 1..

BTW guys,
Thanks for those who think the idea has merit.
i suddenly see a red dot against my username for trying to think out of the box:
"please dont be foolish and waste everyones time with ur insane proposal? thanks"
It is OK - whoever wanted to go this length. FYI, 'have been a member of IV and a donor since inception. Is anyone from the core who thinks this idea is insane?
Like-minded folks - let us work on it
How about having a list of action items and getting an opinion from the IV core on them?

This is not a bad idea.
If everyone think this is a good idea, then we need to do this with a little more planning than the flower campaign.
We can route the pizzas to hospitals and orphanages, shelter for the homeless etc also.
Core group, please chew on this idea!
I AM ORDERING PIZZA and gourmet food from local restuarants every week to be delivered to Emilio Gonzalez
The delivery will be on the 15th July.
Anybody want to join

I havent taken my appointment yet so dont know if that would be the case even for Delhi. But in Mumbai..r they asking to fax the documents (like I-129, I 797A, LCA etc) to them prior to the interview?
in mumbai, someone has to go personally to VFS center to submit documents... we need to submit passport copy, copy of I-797, appointment letter, etc.. but we don't need to submit I-129 and LCA. we need to carry that when we go for appointment.

But, woudn't the 75% of 140K quota for next two years be consumed by ROW applicants who are about to apply. Becoz they are current wouldn't the VISA number go to them..
All the above calculations I guess are assuming that the entire 140K will be given the pending 485 application..May be I am missing something.
Even if we add the flow of application from 'Current' categoreis, your statement still holds true.

trying to understand your problem?
the goal (and you may have to chew on this a while) of this campaign is not to bend rules. it is to create media attention for our problems.
this may be a catalyst to anything- 485 filing, bridging amendments...who knows?
the point is we have to keep trying. sounds like you want to slink away into your "reality". well, since we are all living in fantasy, friend, please let us enjoy it. thanks for your encouragement btw.

Does anyone have an answer or idea as to the job title employer verification letter question ? I didn't see any response as yet so I thought I'd repost the question. So far I've only seen some suggestions on other forums that suggest filing anyways without the letter and waiting for an RFE which might then coax the employer to do the necessary then, waiting for I-140 to be approved and then filing with W-2's (or paystubs -- I don't recall) or waiting 180 days, filing without the letter, switching to a new employer after the 180 days pass and then submitting the new employer's letter.
I think you can go ahead to the HR and just ask for a letter stating that your position xxxx is still available for you and that you are paid xxxx. If not, you may receive a RFE for the letter. I have seen some people not getting a RFE for letters if they attached most recent pay stubs showing they are paid prevailing wage.
This is the letter I got for support of my I485:
Please be advised that Mr. XXXXXX is currently employed by our company. He has been employed with us since XXXXX.
His position is that of a XXXXXXXXX. His annual salary is $XXXXX per year. The position of XXXXXXXXXXXX is still available for him. We intend to continue with the permanent residency process on his behalf at this time, according to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the approved PERM application. XXXXXXX salary will be at least $XXXXX per year once the permanent residency is granted.
Hope this helps

PD has no effect on filing a civil action as visa bulleting is changing every month. My friend in Oregon got I-485 approval after filing Wom even though his PD is not current on the latest visa bulletin.
I thought uscis generally followed 'first-in-first-out' rule. That is one reason I-485 receipt notices never show PD. Am I right?

This prediction business is done just to derive satisfaction of doing something towards a goal. This is especially true when one can do very little to get to that goal and it all depends on many other factors. Yet predicting the PD is not a bad endeavor by itself. That being said, predicting PD is not an easy math without knowing the PD of the last pending application in a category with the CIS and many other numbers. If I am right, I believe even the DoS and CIS have trouble with it.
This what one Mr. Oppenheim says, "This situation will allow me to advance the India EB-2 cut-off date for May". That is it. So the PD will move in May unlike in the past when it moved in June/July/August in a FY. My understanding at this point is that there is no way to predict what will happen to the PD in May VB. THere are just not enough precise numbers available to do that. The May VB may come on 8th April and the numbers that are accounted for in it might be as close as 1st April'11. We do not have that number with us.

did you get yours without CPO mail ? My case is same. No CPO, though got approval/decision emails and approval snail mail.
I got the CPO email first. In another days 6 days got welcome mail. Then the status changed back to post decision activity. 5 days from there, I got the cards. Even today the status says the same.

This is a brilliant thought and lets put it to action now.We all can ask for putting us all Legals on Path to Citizenship. I would definitely put in effort , this may lead to some other solution.
We all can send mails or printed letters to our local Senator , Congressman , US President and Hilliary Clinton from
http://www.congress.org/
We can make them aware through this and then we can try to meet our Senators/Congress Representatives and explain. Over the years We have gathered enough numbers,information and knowledge about our problems , backlogs and Immigration System that we can talk about.
I'm from NJ and would be calling them today. Will post the call details.
Its time now to act, really it is.

Hi All!
I have my 140 approved ,in order to apply for I485 do I need stamped H1 visa in my passport?
I dont have my H1 stamped since 2003 ,I have I 94 valid until oct.2007.
then accordingly we can go to canda or my country to get it stamped the earliest,if it is mandatory.
Your input is appreciated.
Thank you.
You don't need Visa Stamping. I-94 only matters for USCIS. I applied my 485 last month and my passport Visa stamping expired one year ago. Good Luck!

Yes, you can only deposit your passport at the western VFS locations only if you are interviewing at Mumbai. In my case I gave my passport to a responsible friend of mine in Mumbai who in turn was able to deposit the PP with INR 155 as the fee to VFS.
You can not give the passport directly to the consulate, they will not even accept it as that makes them liable for the passports.
Hi GPawar,
Do they specifically mention only these VFS ? I have my interview in Mumbai but then will proceed to North East on vacation. If it is any VFS, Calcutta is much convenient (and economic) for me. Also do they have an option to submit the passport to consulate directly?

............Expanding on my previous posts.
One more thing.
If you decide to apply multiple 485s with each other as dependents, then file just one first. Wait. Gets its A number and put that number in the other application. This way you will cover one pitfall of multiple filing. It will not cause confusion at USCIS end. Now This will not completely eliminate all risks in multiple filing. There have been cases in the past where when you inquire the status of one application, you will get the status of other. And if the PD of other is new, you can get stuck in a blackhole and will either have to wait for USCIS to sort it out or keep trying other ways to solve it. One of the reasons for delay (rightly put by Murthy) is -- when an application is adjudicated by a CIS officer, if the officer sees that there are other files open for the same individual, the officer will not adjudicate that application until that officer has all of the files in existence for that individual. This causes significant delays and confusion in adjudication.
Also do not apply EAD and AP on both. This is commonsense. But just mentioning it here in case..
I also researched the option of CP on one and regular 485 on other. While CP looks attractive, there are lot of risks. I have a big document on this. Overall I would not recommend this to anyone who wants to play safe.
Even multiple filing option should be pursued by critically evaluating your own situation. See how much you and your wife have secure jobs. How new are your PDS. What catagories do you belong to. Do not just apply because you have money to throw away. If throwing money gives you peace of mind, then by all means give it to the lawyers to file I485.
Again. There is nothing right or wrong. Multple filing is only good for very specific cases to have a safety net. This is what I have found till now.

Do things in this order -
1. Find a job first.
2. Secure a good apartment at new job's location.
3. If you need a better car buy one right now.
4. Get some credit cards.
5. Let your home go to foreclosure.
It is a financial decision. Every once in a while, most of us go to different stores and ask them to match the price for the item that we had purchased earlier. If they do not match the price then we return that item. Don't we? Do not get sentimental. Just walk off! Your credit history would get screwed but if you plan it the way I said above, you will be fine. Good luck.
And it won't affect your GC.

I agree with focusing on the Logfren bills, but the flower campaign might not work. Last year it was a combination of pressure on the lawmakers, USCIS and DOS by IV, AILA and a other groups. the flower campaign highlighted the issue to the public and gave us wide exposure...last years fiasco did not require a law change. In our case the clear cut issue is to make recapture happen. The only why for it to happen is by pressuring the lawmakers to take a yes or no decision.
I think we should all request our employers to call the lawmakers, individual calls will help but we need to take it to the next level as the window is very short.
Ok it too late for the letters..we need to focus on the HR bills by Resp Sen Lofgren..we have a narrow window here.. and bi partisan support..we can send her flowers and request the Senator to take this up seriously..also we can send the flowers to the co-sponsors..at thier local offices instead of DC ..since DC office is closed now..
What does EB-3 thinks..we can send flowers to these guys and also to Charles Oppenhiemer...
Flowers anybody??;)
we can start the campign from monday!
