pro-bono -> To work for the good of the public rather than for a profit or income.
Looking forward to the coming year, our goals for outreach expand to certain pro-bono cases and lobbying for improvements in laws and procedures to benefit our clients and U.S. businesses that are suffering as long as caps and retrogression remain as they are. We will continue to fight for you and your causes in 2006 and beyond. We will further strengthen our fight for better pro-immigration laws. We at the Murthy Law Firm will work to persuade the USCIS to issue opinions and letters that better address the business realities, requiring faster decisions and interpretations to help the business community and unite families - all for a better America!

Let us talk about the "skills" introduced by H1/L1/offshore companies
a) One guy takes the phone interview for 15 other guys with "skills" they preted to have
b) Lying on the resume with "skills" that you don't have, so that you can learn the "skill" at the expense of the client
c) "Skill" in Violating B1 visa laws and sending people on B1 to do actual work to client
d) "Skill" in violating L1 law which is used to drive down the wages by 20-30%
e) "Skill" demonstrated by indian offshorers to enter into a contract with a large corporation where they will provide warm bodies in exchange for a very low billing rate. Client wouldn't have any ability to interview the incoming cosultant, which means the offshorer employee is learning at the expense of the foolish client. Then that will be touted as "savings".
f) "Skill" of fly-by-night operators to shave off 70% of the billing rate through a 6-level pyramid of contracting companies
Should I add to this list of "skills" further?
oh dude you are talking of 20% of the folks that USCIS mentioned as fraud. Go after fraudsters. Talking of math skills you should be aware that 20% is minority. kapish?
I personally know a lot of Indian professors in Universities like Berkeley, Stanford, CMU, Michigan etc etc. What about their skill levels? My classmates are CS professors at some top Univs. Soem of them are chairpersons at top conferences. Are you going to point to them and say Indians math skills are not good?

Congrats...Not sure whats happening with my case :( The officer is just sitting on it. It went to his desk on Aug 3 :(
Wanted to let everybody know that we received our green cards in hand today. We immediately made a trip to the Social Security office to update the records and get rid of the clause that says "not valid for work without INS authorization". We also signed a new I-9 with the green card.

Dobbs attacks 'corporate supremacists' (http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20071208/news_lz1ed8bottom.html) UNION-TRIBUNE EDITORIAL, Dec 8, 2007
Lou Dobbs says he doesn't like name-calling � especially when the names are aimed at him and include �protectionist� or �nativist.�
Yet, as regular viewers know, the CNN host can slander with the best of them. His latest term of art: �corporate supremacists.�
In the world according to Dobbs, those are the rich and powerful business interests that are constantly conspiring against the interests of hard-working Americans in the middle class. For the most part, the plotting takes the form of pushing trade agreements and supporting sensible and comprehensive immigration reform. According to Dobbs, those things serve the interests of big business but undermine the interests of the rest of us.
So wealthy corporations are out to crush middle-class Americans?
What nonsense. Those are the same Americans that corporations depend on to build their labor force, buy their stock and purchase their products. If these Americans don't do well, our economy falters. And that's not good for corporations, or anyone.
Nor is childish and irresponsible rhetoric good for public discourse or the country as a whole.
This is the world's healthiest economy, and a country with just 4.7 percent unemployment. Of course, there is anxiety, as there always is in a global economy with so many unknowns. As the world changes, it's only natural for Americans to feel some unease.
Shows like Dobbs' don't help. By providing Americans with convenient foils to blame for their troubles � from illegal immigrants to the Chinese to now those dreaded corporate supremacists � Dobbs makes it easy for Americans to escape the consequences of their own life choices. No wonder that message is popular. It's easier to blame someone � or something � for your problems than to do the hard work necessary to solve them.
Gee, where did we leave that remote control?

I just spoke with Xiyun Yang from Washington Post and conveyed thanks for covering a detailed article. She expressed that there is attention being drawn by many quarters including political for "Skilled LEGAL Immigrants".
Also we need to emphasize & communicate is the "increased fees" (almost doubled in many cases) for all USCIS services effective end of this month (July 30). Is this the penalty to be legal ?
The rallys and campaigns should emphasize this important detail too. This is huge money and not fair to the amount of service that is being currently provided.

Hi!
My name on the birth certificate is "girl". What should I do correct it. I was reading on the forums, that we can get a written statement saying that the name was not decided when I was born. And submit that along with high school mark sheets etc. Are there any other things that could rectify this error.
2 choices... you can change your name to "girl" OR just get "Birth Affidavit", you should check with your lawyer on the latter.

from doing that, what do you think you would achieve by the flowers being delivered at the hospital instead of the USCIS, the point has been made and the Director has acknowledged the effort - That was the end goal and infact the flowers will do more benefit to those in the hospital.
Call the place where you've ordered flowers and ask for a refund if flowers are delivered elsewhere. It should be up to USCIS to recieve and then ship those flowers to the hospitals.

Hi,
I'd posted a note earlier. I haven't received any updates yet. I am in contact with 4 other people who interviewed on 4th Jan and are still awaiting a reply. The kentucky number mentioned in one of the replys confirms the date on which our H1 was approved. When you call up the number, on mentioning your case #, it pulls up the date on which H1b was approved.
Could anyone who's received a email/ call please post a message to the group, indicating the wait time and date of the first interview?
Thanks!

Due to un-avoidable confusion and uncertainity with the current lawyer, I think I have got no choice to file another 485 with the other pending I-140. Not doing so might result in the 1% chance that my current lawyer did not file 485 correctly. But I will withdraw one 485 application once I get both the receipt numbers. Hope all goes well.......any inputs?

One can get FBI Identification Record for $18. However some more research needs to be done about what is covered here. Obviously, one cannot get sensitive data analysis here that is done by name checks.

I also spoke to Terry at NSC once. She is very nice and will try to tell you as many details as possible.
@ Alterego: Dude, when the responses you are getting are basically "under review, wait 90 days", it is much nicer to know details like storage area, exam area, and where your file is.
"storage area, exam area, and where your file is"
It is funny. :)
Is this information given to everyone or few?
If it is given to few then why not everyone?
Is this information accurate?
If IOs have this information, then this means they have very detailed information about the application. However posts from members show that it is not the case at all times.
Lack of information is driving everyone in a chaos and people make mass calls frequently to get information. USCIS should be providing all basic information on cases on case status area of the website. This would reduce number of calls to USCIS and reduce such posts where each conversation with an IO generates some information and misinformation on forums. This feeds to rumors and incorrect information circulated on forums. While such information helps generate lot of threads, page views and ad revenue for other websites, As an organization we should be cautioning people about this.
On the donor forum we have posted some tips what you can do get your greencard. There is no need to make calls everyday trying to get status. If your application is outside processing time, you can simply open a service request. There are other options like Ombudsman and local Congressman's office. We have also posted to our members that if if you have tried all options everywhere and you are in a desperate situation, Immigration voice will help its continued donor members.
In my opinion posts such as "storage area, exam area, and where your file is, pre-approved" only drive curiosity and mass calls that will not help processing of your case. We as an educated and mature community should not fall for such information on the forums.

This is a real problem. I got a letter from a prospective employer, who wanted proof that I was legally eligible to work in the US (alongwith transcripts, previous employment letters etc.) prior to scheduling an interview.:cool:
I believe employers are seeing a lot of candidates on EAD, and for whatever reasons they dont think EAD is good enough and would like to weed those candidates out beforehand.
We need to fight back against this discrimination.:mad:
Start writing to DOJ on the link americandesi provided if you are effected. Enough is enough.

I don't think it will do much good sueing uscis on this issue. The point is, they have the legal authority to be the one interporating the law. So, if there is "gray area" in the law, the law says it is their understanding that matters, not ours or any one else's. So, unless the law very specifically says it must be done in another way, you can not argue uscis did the wrong thing.
Now that we see the immigration law does not very specifically regulate how the flow should be like, so uscis have the authority to "understand the intention of the law" and act accordingly. You can't say you think the law means otherwise and thus sue uscis, because that argument makes no sense to the court. The court will only accept the argument when the government is apparently acting against the law.
We can definitely question them on how their understanding changed on visa spill over distribution.

I would not trust the lawyers in any of this, because their analysis will be superficial and not even close compared to what we see here. We have around 4-5 different folks here doing some really good sound analysis, so unless it's a lawyer known to historically make accurate predictions, I wouldn't care less about their say.
Lawyer is sharing info that some of their client have got fee invoice from NVC. I have done family based application through NVC for my parents and I know you get fees invoice almost 4 months prior to your GC interview date. So lawyer is thinking that NVC is thinking to go upto Nov 2007 in case if CIS fails to act on enough cases in last months.

Can you update your profile... will help everyone before they reply.
Due to the pending caseload at NSC, the processing time of your I485 application has been extended. Allow extra time for an officer to review your application. Furthermore if all intial evidence was not included with your application or a question arose during adjudication that required a RFE additional time would be needed.
Your application remains awaiting review by an Officer and you will be notified as soon as decision is made. The service is waiting for VISA availability
got this message for my wifes SR opened on 07/30, did anyone got the same response?
