BharatPremi,
Congrats that you got it somehow. I also took a Infopass on Nov 7th and status changed to "Doc Mailed" within 2 Hrs of Infopass Appt ( spooky :eek:)and we both discussed about meeting Senator's office if it doesn't come in 7 days.
Looks like time has come for me to meet Senator/Congressman... Today is Nov 14th and in 7 days the mailed doc didn't come. I dont have any lawyer.
Shall i go waste a day and meet Senator or wait for some more - Kind of in a dual doubt and confusion :confused:
I would wait for one more week. Since you do not have lawyer, USCIS has to send you the papers. If within one week nothing happens, Go for one more infopass.. Best Luck.

I got nothing else to say besides that I concur with every word you said about highly skilled population. They get so caught up and satisfied with their small satisfactions, that they tend to ignore the bigger picture. At times, I think USCIS just fooled us and gave in July07 to shut us up. Yes the right work is shut all us up, like those small beggars who beg on the streets and you give them 2Rs to shut them up.
Shame on All of us for not standing together, this message is for the administrator, to do something big now rather wait and see. To deliver the best push we have to act now---

Most of the state colleges, (In my case, none of the state colleges), including under-grad and medical schools, will accept application, if you do not have GC/ US citizenship. I tried, wrote letters, but of no use.
You can apply and get admission in private college, which of course cost much more.
Also, we were not able to take any federal loans.
You may like to talk to the admissions office of the universities. Last year when my daughter was applying for college, we had to go around and talk to them. Took an appointment and explained the case.
We had asked only about admissions, resigned to the idea of paying out-of-state tuition. However, this counsellor got in touch with me, once the admission was confirmed, and suggested that I go to the bursar's office for tuition issues. And, there we got the great news that they had changed the rules in 2007, and that AOS candidates qualified for in-state tuition. Later we were able to get the same benefit for my elder daughter who was a senior in another state college.
Imagine the relief of having to pay in-state after coughing up out-of-state tuition for three years. This happened in Georgia.
So, to cut a long story short, yes you can be treated as in-state students for admission and tuition purposes. It only needs you to do some research and interacting with the offices. And of course, meeting some good persons. Incidentally, most of the counselors are great.

I wish you all the best. This kind of cheating from the employer hurts the most. I wish some immigration lawywer or ILA steps up and advises what employees can do in these kind of situations. I know labor substitution is legal but in this case the employer gave false hopes to the employee that he will sponsor his GC and that should be illegal and could be used as an excuse to sue the employer.
Most of us hesitate to hire lawyer to go after these sc** bag employers because we are scared of the lawyers as well. We don't know how much it will cost us and we don't know what the outcome will be. That's why it will be helpful if some reputed lawyer or ILA comes out and tell us what our options are when these kind of things happen.
But then employers and these lawyers go hand in hand so I doubt if one goes against the other. I wish atleast USCIS gives us some guidelines.
I bet that if we can successfully sue one cheating employer then we will see hundreds of similar cases and the employers will be scared to even think about doing this again.

Even if I back date my marriage (as advised) , How can I get my future wife to USA?. I cannot get her on depend status as my H1-B (I believe) got canceled on approval of GC.
Issues I see,
1. The back date of marriage must match to my stay at India.
2. I did not visit India in the last one year.
3. I applied my I-485 in the August 2008 time. So (I must mention my marriage and dependents in the application). Which I did not . So this does not work.
See the troubles I have now.
P.S: I did not want to cheat USA Immigration Dept. Not a good practice
Let me know if there are any guanine ways.

I have nothing against lawyers, most are hard-working and smart. But that smartness also makes them confuse others and ultimately its the clients who have to pay for the smartness of the lawyers.
I am totally against that.
making a living is one thing, but talk about confusing people and milking them for the money !!!

We can demand a purple card for any techworker who had worked and paid taxes and contributed to Social Security and medicare for three continuous years. This card should allow free travel and work permit for spouse. Counterpart of blue card for illegals......Once the priority date becomes current and adjustment of status is complete, purple card is replaced by green card !!!!!!!!

It was very hard to see at least 3-4 of my friends working in very reputed, established companies, not some tinpot startups (I'm almost tempted to name the companies) using labor Sub. And all of them have got their green cards comfortably. Every single one of them.
Their managers pushed for labors subs for them and nobody even objected because it was legal!
And to my best knowledge, my current company didn't do any subs (perhaps because they didn't have layoffs during dot com bust) so I see senior employees in my company badly stuck with EB3. In fact, there are EB3 managers hopelessly stuck whose EB2 employees are in a better position than them. I'm NOT making this up.
Unless you take risks, you won't progress. Calculate your risks and take it. My friend, 2003 is an old PD and you have been stuck for long. You deserve a better deal and a more senior job profile. I agree completely with folks though, that allowing people to retain the old PD is unfair to others waiting and USCIS should grant some intermediate PD. But take it from me, all kinds of unfair practices have been happening. A classic example is July 07.
I do see your point about the unfairness of allowing the old PD. In that case, what do you say about the cross-chargeability provision ? I guess the percentage of people availing of that provision is small, but it does happen.
For example, If you're from India and in EB3, but your spouse was born in a non-retrogressed country, you automatically jump to the earlier PD in your category, EB3-World in this case. Maybe the percentage of such cases is low, and hence there're no protests from the people waiting. I personally know of one colleague who had a later PD than me, but got the EB3-World PD since his spouse was born in Zambia. If EB3-World was current, he'd be green simply because his spouse was born in the "right" country.
Unfair ?? Maybe - but it's legal and allowed. My point is that getting an older PD in both cross category and cross chargeability are allowed today and people will continue to avail of them is they can. As long as the USCIS doesn't have issues with that, applicants will attempt to migrate between categories and countries, during their im-migration process :) Couldn't help myself with that pun there :)

I think soon every IV member will have enough hands-on experience to practise immigration law in U.S. The analysis and research skills make all of us great candiates for practicing law after getting the green card... Obviusly without a law degree, you cannot practise law but it could be an option guys :-)

I would urge you to change the title as most of your problems are due to your own decisions and not due to agency.
This may not be true. This is the problem being faced by many singles. Ofcourse those singles are postponing their plans just because of USCIS policies which in the case of singles is ridiculous. There is no meaning to make a person wait for 5-10 years to get one's spouse just because he applied for a Green Card. I see various kinds of visas for the spouses in other categories like H1 has H4
L1 has L2/L4 ( I dont know what that is)
and so on so forth..
but for a spouse of AOS? nothing.
All the crap of going on H1 are ridiculous. At the first place one has to get a sponsor for H1 and then there are all those issues out of being H1 with the employer and USCIS. There is no benefit of being on AOS. They cannot use EAD. They cannot start companies freely, etc because they are supposed to be on H1 or L1 etc.

I recant my earlier outburst at mercies since I realize that he was acting as a messenger to the problem. Sorry for the offense mercies.
There are many people who would just run away from effort when doubts are raised and since people of afraid of being punished for just advocating a public policy or writing a letter to congress in the first place. I would request you to not reproduce posts here or on portal that would echo the material the plants fear and doubts among members.
