I will also suggest guys waiting with their PD current to write to the USCIS Director in DC. I did that; not sure if that worked in my case, but one needs to explore every way of bringing their case to the attention of the management.
Do you have contact info?

Hi,
I landed in July 06 in Toronto. Received my PR cards etc and then moved back to US and since then have not visited Canada.
Does anybody know how long one can stay out of Canada after landing? I heard some where its 2 years and some say its 3 years from the date you land.
Can somebody please clairfy that? or have any official ruling on that?
Thanks,

The way i understand this, not all companies are bound by the EOE laws.
Certain conditions have to be met to be considered an EOE.
Not every employer is an equal opp employer, so those guys can hire whoever they want.
Besides hiring folks on h1b, etc could add to costs for employers. So they choose not to employ such folks.

I am bringing these out not because I am opposed to equal treatment of folks on H1/ EAD etc - but because there are legitimate arguments both ways and unless we can prove unequivocally that there is gross miscarriage of justice in denying us this right and on the other hand - there is no disadvantage caused to anybody else by granting us this right - this idea is unlikely to see the light of the day
while i am happy to be proven wrong - i do not see anyone in this forum having a stomach for a protracted legal battle starting with lower courts and going all the way to Supreme Court - going back to my previous point - we do not see this as a "larger than me" cause
Incorrect words used by me, I did not mean that supreme court gave authority, but that supreme court did not find that discrimination based on country of origin for immigrants violates the basic tenents of this countries constitution.
I am not saying that this is a case on employers. If at all it would be a case against the discriminatory laws of the congress which allow someone to stay indefinitely but, do not allow them to work.
If a case like this is filed, I do not think, I do not see it going to be a proteacted battle. If enough coverage is given, the lawmakers might sit down and fix the problem or atleast have a quick temporary fix. Maybe even lawmakers might not be needed, just the DOJ would might update the rules (which it is allowed in case it determines that the laws are conflicting). Most important of all, this will bring the issues on the front from being a laggard.

All:
I received an email on 8-8 saying card production ordered and on 8-9 about the welcome kit.
My PD is April 2 2004 EB2 (US educated for the idiot who tried to divide us b/w US and non US educated)
As a token of appreciation - I have contributed $100 to IV just now.Receipt ID: 1467-8132-5592-9911. Request all of those who get GC this month to contribute some $ amount. Although I was not very active in the forums I have contributed at least $400 to this cause and I will do the same in the future. Please do not try to divide b/w EB3 EB2 US educated etc. which I am noticing lately.
WE REALLY NEED TO HELP OUR EB3 FRIENDS. PLEASE CONTRUBUTE ONCE IN AN YEAR ATLEAST. I HAVE NOTICED THE MOMENT THEY GET GC THEY FORGET THE PAST DIFFICULTIES AND MOVE ON WHICH IS FINE. BUT IF POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTE ONCE IN AN YEAR.
Well Said,
Thank Q Dear Friend and Best wishes and good Luck

We cannot reject numbersusa and other organizartion's ideas. As our people are suffering in retrogession some of their people and their families are impacted because of job loss in past. So we cannot tell that they do not have crediblity. They have some valid points also though some of them are absurd. But we need to understand them and try to elimimate their fears also.
QUOTE=purgan]when american's from such third rate schools are not getting jobs, do you seriously think foreigners with their funny accents and relatively poor English communication skills (I'm Indian and can tell you its still a second language to me) can get jobs??
The market has a way of regulating itself. As someone mentioned above, there were a a lot of H1 space available from 2001-03. But it never got filled because there were simply not enough jobs. Lets not try to set up govenment intervention here....let the free market decide....that is what made this country great.
btw, NumbersuSA, FAIR and other restrictionist organizations have zero credibility because they oppose even legal immigration.
That poll....don't impress me much...[/QUOTE]

Self-employment is possible only on 1099. If you're on W2, you're *not* self-employed. Pls see IRS guidelines
Here is DoL link. In the example, Mr. Smith owns LLC company, but still is considered Self-Employed.

For immigration purposes, only USCIS/DoL interpretation counts.

Reaching out to friends to get more contributions
Gud luck to us all
Additionally , I saw a post about "5 reasons to not contribute" that was a gud one. I will bump that one up ...I am surprised that we cant get a 1000 people to contribute some money..An avg of $50 will get us beyond $50,000 (Obviously we dont need even 1000 people because many will contribute 100 or more) ..There just too many leaches who wait for others to do thier job..

Hi other IV users,
Did you read the post I wrote above? I think IV need some member who can do foot work. I think IV will agree with my assessment. What is others assessment? If we want to get something done we have to make some strategic and concentrated move.
Not everything could be written on this site.
If you are interested PM me. We can talk privately.

If Democrats win CIR will be passed including relief for legals. But since USCIS will be deluged with (no surprise - no money to tackle the load) it will be an "unofficial retrogression" which Texas service center has always had. A lot of people with 01 and 02 priority dates were "current" for a long time, then it was incompetance and delays at TSC, later it was retrogression.
If republicans win (slim chance they will hold on to the majority in both house and senate assuming Foley scandal does not cause much more damage) then CIR is in the waste basket. Though Agjobs will come back because labor shortage is causing havoc on fruit farms and fruit is rotting on trees. Skill bill is guarenteed, but very little legalization for illegals.
Some people here seem to have a lot of hopes on the Democrats. But the proceedings of the CIR bill showed likes of senators from ND (which by no stretch of mind is affected by illegals!), CA (Diane), IL (Obama) how much they were against legal immigration. Other than Cornyn and to some extent Specter I did not see much sympathy for the legal immigrants. Even the Hispanics have realized Obama is against legalization and are now reconsidering support for him.
As to some ones request to remove posts critical of one or the other political party - as long as the discussion is civil, there is nothing wrong in analyzing the situation and predicting the future. If anything, those Democrats who are subtly anti-legal immigration will realize they are drawing new immigrants (who are traditionally democratic at least initially) in the arms of republicans.

I applied for EAD on 06/18/2008
Receipt Date 06/20/2008
Not received it till date!
My friend applied on 06/04/2008
He got 1 year EAD on 06/30/2008.
This is because they were trying to approve as many EAD cases as possible, so that they can earn money next year too.
They probably did this because its a fee based organisation.

Hi,
I filed mine on 27th July, 2007;
Do I need to apply for renewal now? How sooner or later we can apply for renewal?
You can file for renewal beginning 120 days before your EAD/AP expires.

--
Yes, we will finalize by tonight the text for the flyers for posting in the grocery stores. We need volunteers for putting out these flyers. If you want to help please PM me your contact details. There is a conference call t'night at 7:30 p.m. for allocation of duties.
I already have four volunteers need more.

You are turning a blind eye to his family, while also asking him to spend time with his family. You ask him to spend what he can on his treatment, while his insurance cover may go away if he quits his job and return to fiji/india.
There is no easy answer here.
But if he had his GC, he could spend all the time with his family, use his insurance cover at the same time, and not worry about his family going out of status.
He COULD try to expedite the GC, while also exploring other options.
Sorry for splitting things apart, Mehul. My best wishes are with you.

if the only way to reduce the backlog of EB3 is to port to EB2, why EB3 category at all. Just remove that category... Maybe lawyer's should come with a better alternative than giving this lame advice. EB3 category are still employed for the past 10 yrs - shows that they are required-then why not fight to get their number of visas increased or the spill over be applied to them equally as to EB2.
