I gets very severe migraine attack almost everyday thinking about the GC !! I took so many pain killers(acetameno) almost everyday ..now they also stopped working on me...and due to these apin killers ..I became acidic ..acidity everyday..even without eating spicy things...my wife says, probably my lever damaged ..don't like to visit doctors ...will it get worse ? I can't escape visiting IV everyday !! Any remedy for me will be highly appreciated....
While a pray for your "lever"....i will suggest u see a doctor asap!!!
And I will also prescribe you channel all the pain into some positive energy by helping IV via contributions, volunteer work...and participatingin action items...all that is very rewarding!!! and will help you from going nuts, bananas and what have you!!

"GC and Citizenship should not prevent anyone from pursuing their career and personal dreams - if not US - there are other countries where your skills would be welcome. Personally - i have given priority to career and family life ahead of visa issues and rest has automatically fallen into place"
I know this is easier said than done but I think for most part I have moved on .I have not got my GC yet (PD Nov 2003 EB3 -India) but allow me to chime in .
Actually I had little interest in pursuing GC to begin with(Mistake). Could have started earlier than I actually did and was lucky to breeze thru Labour and 140 stages(< 6 months) and did not follow I-485 progress till June -1 st 2007
Then suddenly in next 4-5 months browsed every info /problems/issues with GC. Made 3 info pass appointments(Name Check cleared), initiated 2 separate inquiries one thru OMBUDSMAN. must have called USCIS about 10 times and checked the online status atleast 3 times a day . Pedantic. Mostly because my application was pre-approved and lot applications around my PD's were approved and I thought I was really close . Alas, that was not to be . I was pretty dissapointed for a few months.
However in the last 6 months I have moved on mentally, I browse IV and consider other options like switching to Eb2 but gone are those pedantic days followed by huge disappointments.

"Folks who are Re-Filing just out of anxiety",
Do you realize that this duplicate App is going to increase the turnaround from 90 to 120 days ?
Please put some thought man - USCIS clearly said that FEDEX/USPS signed receipt is acceptable proof for EAD/AP filing in one of the FAQ's so if its get rejected out of USCIS error you can refile later.
SuperUsers and Moderators - What is your take on this ??
Thanks,
You think they will stick to the 90 days estimate if none of us refile?

That was before their newly found 'effeciency'...
more recently, they took 2 days (not even working days) to APPROVE 25000 AOS applications, how hard do you think it is for them to issue receipts ? :)
A common misconception.
Approving 25000 485s that were already processed and sitting in cold storage will take less than a minute.
Approving meant simply running a program that assigned a visa number to a processed case in a loop that ran 25000 times. Such a program will complete in seconds. The paperwork for these 25k approved applications is going to take months and online updates of 485 approval are still trickling in.
So there was no new found efficiency in USCIS as many seem to believe.

Hi,
I am joining new job using AC21 provision coming monday. My new employer does not provide medical insurance for the first month. I am eligible for after I complete 1 month.
So my question is: till the time I get medical coverage from new employer (approx. 20 - 30 days), can I invoke COBRA? I heard that one can not invoke COBRA if he or she is employed (only meant for un-employement) is this true?
Also, should I call my current insurance company for COBRA now, or I can wait if I really need to visit a doctor? is there a grace period for this? Because there is a possiblity that I may never would have to visit a doctor for next 20-30 days, but who knows!
Appreciate your answers.

They asked the biggest takers of H-1B visas. They just so happened to be Indian companies, funny enough.
I don't see why you would think of the bill as insane. It weeds out the abuse clogging up an otherwise great visa program.
Ignorance is a bless...

How can they change the interpretation of law in 2006?
Your interpretation is very simple. However one draft the law (before 2000 or after 2000), EB3 is prefered than EB2 and EB1, just to address the diversity.
The question is simple. Whether diversity is important or employment preference is important? What is the intent of the congress in 202 a 5? Has DOS understand the intent? This is very very important for oversubscribed countries. We know IV is working hard to address the retro. This is also equially important. Even if we achive in incresing the EB visa numbers (by SKIL/CIR) by 2 times or 3 times it will not be usefull for India and China. Thats why it is very important.
In FY2005 India consumed about 16,000 EB2 visa. The total visa issued still about 40,000 only. From 2006 it is going to be 2800 only.
How can they change the interpretation of law in 2006?
Just compare 16,000 with 2,800. With this rate, an Indian guy with PD in 2005 or 2006 may not get GC till his retirement. However a non-Indian, Chinese EB2 guy with PD 2006 get GC with in 6 months.

1.In general private insurance does not cover maternity benefits. But private insurance holders are eligible for negotiated price.
In general negotiated price are around 50-70% less than the actual price.
2. Choose doctors from your network. eg: many anesthesia doctors are out of network.
3.Complications will be covered by your insurance. So do not worry about this.
4.Take a payment plan from hospital.

Apparently the deal is that the Judiciary Committee wants to put pressure on Senator Frist so that he does not introduce his version of the bill bypassing the committee...

You say all these because you understand. Most of these police officers out there (and even Immigration Enforcement officers) dont understand the laws they are enforcing. I once asked an american embassy consular officer during an H1B renewal interview how long I had to stay in the US if I get laid off from my job. She smiled and said she doesnt know. Ironic right? That is US Immigration laws for you. So complex yet so unreasonable.

Eb2 will move gradually but it may move up to 2006 or 2007 as Eb1 spill over and Eb1 and Eb2 spillover from other countries will be transferred to Indian and Chinese Eb2. Again it depends on how many people are waiting in Eb2

I got a quote and passed the physicals, and only two months later was told the underwriter doubled the premium because I did not have green card.
could members explain this further with more information and facts if possible. we have not been covering this in our media interviews and facts about hardships we face.
infact it would be better if finance gurus and others on the forum can help list various ways in which h1b visa holders suffer financially by not having a gc.
- mortgage rates are one.
For mortgage, you have to shop around to find one that does not mind your non-immigrant status. I was able to get preapproved for a first time buyer loan with low rate. But I did not purchase the house. So I will not know if they would jack my rate up at closing because of my status as the insurance company did.

adibhatla,
Could you please review my situation? My attorney told me that I can not work untill the decission comes out from USCIS. In 485 denial notice it was mentioned that ....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon consideration, it is ordered that your application for permanent residence, form I 485, filed on Nov 1 2004, to adjust your status to that of lawful permanent resident, be denied for the following reason (s):
On February 13 2008, the US citizenship and Immigration service�s issues a revocation on the underlying form, immigrant petition for alien worker. Since the underlying petition is revoked, a visa is immediately not available. As such you cannot adjust status to that of a lawful permanent resident. Therefore, the form I-485 application is denied.
8 C.F.R274a.14 (b)(1)(i) allows termination of employment authorization when it appears that any condition upon which it was granted has not been met or no longer exists. If you have received an I-765 for classification C9 based upon this pending I485, you are reminded that this EAD is no longer valid and can not be used to allow yourself to work in the United States.
The decision leaves you without lawful immigration status���.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After filing MTR (I290B) we received receipt number SRC-09 -044-xxxxx
Notice Type: receipt Notice.
Amount received $585.00
It states that
This notice doesnot grant any immigration status or benefit.It is not even evidence that this case is still pending. It only shows that the application or petition was filed on date shown...
The notice number you are referring is same as I mentioned or different?
I will appreciate your time and help in this regard. I will get back to you if you need further clarifications..

I140 should be approved or approvable at the time of filing. Yates memo is very clear on that- I-140 approval is not required in concurrent filing. Also there is no salary requirements on invoking AC 21. Again, please read Yates Memo.
Kindly see the context of the post and please read the post completely before going ballistic –
I am not talking about the requirements for concurrent filing. Yes, everybody knows that I-140 and I-485 could be filed together, hence the word “concurrent”.
However, approved I-140 is required for invoking AC-21 to change employer after 180 days of 485 receipt.
If you want to change employer without consideration to the salary, be my guest. I am simply trying to relay what I have learnt from discussions with 4 top attorneys in the country. If you have any doubt, speak to an attorney. But you are welcome to do whatever you find is best for you. I have changed employer using AC-21 and simply attempting to provide the information about practical implication/ramifications of AC-21 from my experience and knowing. As always, you are welcome to do whatever you deem fit in your case.

Piece meal is our best/only option for the next 2 years. We have to keep track of the legal bills being introduced and campaign for them. I don't think CIR will make it in lameduck too. Republicans would like to enforce border security and employer, internal monitoring, before any king of path to legal status for illegals.
lets stop this rhetoric on repubs, what about bobby jindal, marco rubio & nick haley and plz don't give explanations to distort the reality, many in the republicans sincerely support legal immigration, tell me few good things dems did to legal immigrants, aint regan the one who gave amnesty to illegals in 80s, aint bush the one who tried more than once to pass CIR, who opposed h1b fee increase recently?
Yes I agree, we should be neutral on party as an organization. Also the enhanced H1b, monitoring RFE, etc was introduced due to body shops misusing visas and not paying on bench. Think of it as an extended background check due to the misuse.
I feel republicans would sincerely welcome qualified immigrants. Some of their views on protecting the border have been distorted out of propotion due to politics.
What we need to do is enhance our reputation with both Republicans and Democrats and get them to help us.

If there was ever a greater need to call your congressman/woman/senator/CHC member, the time is NOW. As the momentum builds, we need to call in greater numbers to mobilize congressional support in terms of more sponsors. Please CALL per action items. Call now. Ask others to call. Make it a resolution to get one friend a day to call. And persuade that one friend to donate.
Together, we CAN make the change happen.
Together, we WILL be the change that we seek.
Yes We Can.
