the letter that Lofgren wrote raises very very valid questions including the overtime work pattern of uscis BREAKING NEWS: LOFGREN GIVES USCIS THREE DAYS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee, sent Secretary Chertoff a list of questions and a request for documents from USCIS to get to the bottom of the whole Visa Bulletin fiasco. The letter is very interesting not just because it puts a heck of a lot of pressure on DHS right now, but also because Lofgren's folks imply from the questions that USCIS was short circuiting established security clearance procedures to "pre-request" visa numbers from DOS. If it turns out full security clearances were not carried out, USCIS will either need to say that they had the legal justification (which would be a public relations disaster for the agency) or that they intended to complete the checks after the fact (which would be a direct violation of their own regulations). The only way to avoid answering the questions and to make this go away would be to eat crow and start working the case July cases.

Comments are welcome.
However in order to work on an issue, the push and support must come from members needing it. For that we will need support of Greencard holders who think that this an issue for them and they are willing to participate and support IV to go all the way. Right now we have our hands full with current IV agenda and need to accomplish those with our limited resources
Pappu any news about multiyear EAD/AP?

actually you are insane. just because you have contributed money does not make you sane !!
and you should be the first one to ask for action items (since I guess you have really donated 2400 dollars) ..or are you planning to donate 5000 dollars more without asking anything in return ? (yr money ..but as the saying goes ..a fool and his money soon part ways) ..well this is my last post ..bye and good luck !!
Now well well well...
You got too many reds and you want to quit this ID and start a new one? It is so easy to create another fake ID.
we will chase you down and ask for your contributions and plans no matter where you run. :D:D:D

Hi IV'ers,
Today IV is a 10000 member organization!
Thank you everyone who participated in the campaign!
Three important next steps:
1. Let us all (every member), start and continue working on the IV action items such as "Meet your Lawmakers", "Call Lawmakers", etc. If we can do these now, we will definitely be able to influence the upcoming votes in the House and Senate on the immigration bills. And these bills are coming pretty soon (in a matter of weeks). So now is the time to act!
2. Let us all contribute as much as possible now. OUr donations will help IV in its lobbying effort. The more financially strong IV is, the better it can work support on the hill.
3. Last but not the least, we cannot stop at 10000. The stronger our numbers are, the more effective we can be (both in campaigns, as well as financially). So I am upping the target here. Please help introduce ONE member to IV by the end of April. If everyone of us added just ONE member by end of April 2007, we would be a 20000 member strong team.
20000 might look daunting, but's it's really not every individual just took care of his one member.
ADD ONE MEMBER BY APRIL 30, 2007!
Thank you.
Members: 10,003

If they accept all 500k I-485 application. They will have more than 140k cases eligible for approval every year. I don�t see any visas will get wasted.
I agree, i am afried that this is going to back fire and would let USCIS waste visa numbers and we all can continue our wait ever after. Nice job

:D Sorry, it's a Monday morning and I still have a "hang over" from over eating at Easter lunch yesterday. So I can't even type straight! LOL and in my defence I and O are right next to each other on the keypad. :D
Stillhopefull you have been current for a while, so they should be working on yours...one would think...I do believe Texas is behind though, according to the uscis web site Nebraska is processing July and Texas not yet.

No one knows dick about PD movement. EB3 filers think that somehow EB2 PD gets stuck or even retrogress and EB3 PDs race forward to 2003/2004, through some delusional logic. Those who filed under EB2 think, EB2 PD moves to 2005/2006. These predictions are mostly prejudicial. USCIS may have some idea after entering all June/July/Aug applications, that is if they can find someone who can add :D.
My two cents...
And what about me? I have two files. One in EB3 -2003 and One in EB2 -2006 and both are live. :)

I am renewing my passport at Houston and sending it via mail. I was on F-1 originally and changed to H1-B last year. I do not have a H1-B stamp yet. What visa document or visa photocopies should I attach? Do they have to be notarized?
I have only have the new I-94 showing my H1-B status.
Thanks.
Another thing, my employer has the original approval notice I-797, I only have the I-94 part of it.

Generally the trigger to cancel previous visa is if you have been approved a new visa. From my personal experience the consulate officer upon determining (after interview etc) that you qualify for H1B will cancels H4. If for some reason you do not qualify for H1B there is a good chance that they will not cancel H4. In any case she can always reapply for H4 if for some reason they cancel H4 without approving H1B which is very unlikely.
Good Luck.
Thanks for the response.
How does one safegaurd against the consulate canceling dependant visa?

I saw that. Looks like you are trying to pimp for a lawyer. Learn to stand on your own 2 feet first.
No I'm not, I am in no way associated with them, and I could care less. Yes I know how to stand on my feet thanks. This is not a time to divide people.
Any better sugegstions for immigration lawyer then? Or do you just keep trashing other people, without giving any genuine ideas.
"Could you update your profile before drafting your plan"
I'm EB2, with approve I-140.

Hmmm,
I may as well tell my wife to accept the fact that she is likely to loose her job. Just got reply from my attorney to go for INFOPASS once 90 days have passed and request expedite.

Did you do INFOPASS or Service Request? Is that the same or different?

How much clout does this congresswoman have? She seems to understand the entire scenario better than any american soul out there! It also seems like she has spent a lot of time on this and understands the system very well.
I guess it remains to be seen what kind of impact her letter will have on USCIS. Obviously, USCIS did something unlawful.
She understands it better because look at her biography:
http://lofgren.house.gov/biography.shtml
Professional Career
Served as Staff Assistant to her predecessor, Congressman Don Edwards, 1970-1978;
Worked on impeachment proceedings, the Equal Rights Amendment, and creation of the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge in the South San Francisco Bay
Practiced immigration law as a partner in the firm of Webber & Lofgren, 1978-1980
Taught immigration law at University of Santa Clara School of Law, 1977-1980
Served on Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, 1981-1994
U.S. Congress
Elected in 1994 as only freshman Democrat from west of the Rocky Mountains
Serves on Committee on the Judiciary:
Chair of Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law

Drop the country limits atleast for some time (I think between 1998 - 2002 there were 190,000 H1's Allowed but there was not increase in the number of green cards issued it still stayed at 140 k anually) . Because there was need of immigrant work force in this country the H1 b # were raised. The immigration system is like a Pipe both the inlet and the outlet have to have the same diameter otherwise the pipe can be clogged(back logged). So during the 1998 -2002 the inlet was made broader but nothing was done to the outlet so now we have the clog.
Recapture the unsued Visas lost due to the adminstrative proccessing delays like name check, back ground check etc. For these visa numbers there were actaully people waiting for in the line but got pushed back due to adminstartive proccessing delays , but now all the paper work is ready after all the adminstrative processes but the visa #s are lost due to the policy of not carrying it over.
The other incentive may be green card for people buying a home ( Most people in the EB community have stable jobs and good income and clean back grounds).
Implementing these can help the economy and the housing market How?
More greencards -> More people from the Legal immigrant community start their own and implement their own ideas which have been bubbling in their heads for years . This could create more jobs.
More greencards -> More people from the legal immigrant community buy their own home which will drive up the demand in the housing market, which inturn will help stabilize the home prices.
These are some of my thoughts.
