Thanks Ivar for your reply.
Ivar, thanks for the info. I am thinking of applying for porting now.How long does it typically take to process. Also was there any audit you are aware of that came for your case?
I do not have master's degree but I have 10+ years of experience and my job requirements are also for managing a team etc.

I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...
The name says exactly what we are doing. I think it is right the way it is.

Are we so idle that we are thinking about changing the name of IV? Don't we have something better to do like taking part in IV activities?
Well how about chaging our own names too so that americans can easily remember our names? I think that its a good idea too.
The suggestion for the name change was to identify us as "legal" tax paying individuals, and not for the ease of remembering the name.
However, I do agree that it may be too much of an effort, and would recomend that when communicating with lawmakes and other inviduals, we introduce ourselves as legal tax paying individuals that are trying to reunite families and children, and provide ourselves the freedom and the ability to further our careers by attempting to streamline the immigration process.

Long time ago when I inquired at the University of Houston, they said that any person who has lived in Texas for more than a year will be considered as an in-state student. Bear in mind that this was some time in 2001-2002.

Like this lot of bills will be introduced between Jan to Dec and nothing will happen.Any immigration bill pro or anti will have tough time to pass. Generally Anti immigration will not come under consideration. Pro-immigrant bills will be considered but it will be blocked or no agreement will be reached as usual. We have to see this year. President wanted CIR not because of Welfare of immigrants but for repairing the damage caused by Iraq Mess. The problem is
Pro-immigrants are asking too much. Anti Immigrants are not willing to give anything. There is no one was trying to negotiate. Everyone wants scuttle the moves of others by politics. Instead if both anti immigrants and pro immigrants in the congress negotiate and form a compromise the bill can be passed easily. But the bill should be for the country not for one group of people.
"Representative Elton Gallegly (R-CA) introduced H.R. 133, Citizenship Reform Act of 2007, which would limit citizenship by birth to children born to at least one permanent resident or citizen parent."
Does this mean that if we do not have green cards our childern born here are not citizens. Am I understanding it right..

Sub: Legal Immigration and CIR
Body:
I am here to talk about LEGAL immigration. In all the noise about illegal immigration and their path to legalization a very important subject is lost and that is LEGAL immigration, and delays and problems they are facing.
I came to US in 2000 with a perfect business plan and dream to start a company and spread prosperity, but the path I had to take was H1B visa. After coming here my last 9 years have been spent on getting Green Card ( I have recently filed for my 10th year H1B Extension), and my GC application with a priority date of 2003 March is still waiting in Backlog.
While there is some opposition for illegal immigration more than 90% of people I meet support the improvement in process for LEGAL immigrants. I hope in this CIR while looking at illegal immigration you pay special attention to LEGAL immigration.
Together we can build a happy and prosperous America for future generations.
Sincerely

I wrote about our retrogression problem to our senator Barack Obama three months ago and I got reply from him today.I couldn't find the answer to my question.Can you help? Here is his response:
Thank you for writing me regarding immigration policy. I have heard from constituents on both sides of this issue, all making passionate arguments. This is unquestionably a complicated policy challenge with far reaching ramifications across society.
After much study and discussion, I have concluded that the best course is to pass comprehensive reform that reaffirms the rule of law and brings the undocumented population out of hiding through an earned path to citizenship. In my view, the approach presented by the immigration bill passed last year by the Senate lays the foundation for such a permanent solution.
To address the immigration problems in our country, that bill put forth a three-pronged response: 1) it strengthens border security; 2) it establishes a path to citizenship that included fines, a requirement to learn English, and adherence to the rule of law for immigrants and their families who may have entered the United States illegally but are now contributing and responsible members of society; and 3) it creates a "guest worker" program whereby American businesses can temporarily recruit foreign workers for jobs that American workers cannot or refuse to fill. This proposal passed the Senate by a 62 to 36 bipartisan vote, but a joint House/Senate conference committee appointed to reconcile the differences between this bill and a separate version passed by the House of Representatives (H.R. 4437) was unable to complete its negotiations before Congress adjourned.
Like our nation's religious and civil rights communities, I opposed enforcement-only approaches like H.R. 4437. That House bill is also opposed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and over 200 other faith-based, business, labor, religious, local governments, civil rights, and ethnic groups. The common denominator of this opposition is that the bill would have had a profoundly negative impact on workers, on businesses, on families, and on local communities without making the country safer or fixing any part of the broken immigration system.
The President and Congress should look at immigration reform in a comprehensive manner to guarantee both that enforcement and border security are enhanced and that all workers, including immigrant and “guest” workers, are treated fairly and are afforded basic labor protections. This approach will curtail the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, reward work and unite families. I look forward to continuing to work with President Bush, my colleagues in Congress, and the people of Illinois on this important challenge.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please stay in touch on this or any other issue of concern.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
United States Senator

Just to add, this is the risk of not working for the company after getting the EAD. The employer can easily prove that the person had no intention of working for the company. AC21 cannot protect that person.

There was life before green card. There is life after green card. And then there will be a realization afterwards that greencard is nothning but an official identification of a person that is willing to be a slave to the American System and then going to india and acting as a VIP .
Your value will always be equal to shit in this system and when you go to India what you earn here is shit compared to what you are losing by staying here.
Dont act desperate. if you get a green card let them give it you . Dont beg for it. they need you and dont act like you are on your knees swearing to do anything for a greencard.Otherwise we will all be like dirty who.... s

Last time around exactly the same time in 2006 CIR took off like crazy because of the tremendous backing of Senate Judiciary committee chairman Arlen Specter and Senate majority Leader Bill Frist (who actually gave a deadline for a the bill to be introduced to the senate floor, to speed it up) and president bush supporting it as well. In spite of all these it took the senate from Feb-march 2006 to around September 2006 to get it passed.
Now to the present situation, Harry Reid, the current majority leader never ever publicly spoke one good word about CIR, the present senate judiciary committee chairman, Patrick J. Leahy has not displayed even 1/100 the urgency nor the interest in CIR, president Bush though still supporting CIR is a wounded president licking his wounds and has truly become a lame duck president (most unfortunately for us).
Having considered the above facts what are the chances of CIR happening? Its very painful to say that but I think very low. Even by a miracle (a very big miracle at that) if something happens it will be November or December 2007 before it passes.
As if this not painful enough there is a 60 day waiting period from the day the president signs it before it becomes a law. I think there is some confusion on this 60 day period (I am not 100% sure on this). In addition to it if I remember correctly there was a strange condition which was something like there would be a 6 month investigation period to determine the effects of CIR before becoming a law. If you add all this nonsense up I think in the best case scenario January or February 2008 before CIR becomes law and worst case scenario July or August 2008 to become a law. just my 2 cents. I can only pray and hope I am wrong.
There are some inaccuracies in your post:
The CIR in the Senate passed on 25th May 2006. Bill number S. 2611 of 109th congress. (See for this on thomas.loc.gov )
The 60 day waiting period is something that may be removed this year as this year, the Dems are in control.
I can go on and on about why CIR did not become a law in 2006. However if one were allowed just one phrase to describe the reason why CIR didnt happen in 2006, is : United States House of Representatives (http://www.house.gov/).
If you remember, in Nov 2005, the house had already pass its own CIR. They called it CIR, but no one else called it that. Its was H.R. 4437. Created by dear Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner. The bill provided for making illegal presence a felony and basically deporting 11 million already here. That was the House's CIR.
What happens this year, even God cannot predict. What we've said here at IV, is CIR will come in SENATE, in March-April. It will be debated and passed in Senate, most likely, just like last year. After that, as far as the House is concerned, it remains to be seen how much pressure the White House and Senate can put on them. Basically, if the White House were to direct a few more raids by ICE on some meat packing plants and some construction, that's all it takes for the House to be shamed into doing something about a widespread problem unless it wants to be called a do-nothing congress.
Now we cannot predict if the above course of events will take place. Its impossible to predict. Some people (on other sites) have laid out percentages like 20% chance this will happen, 80% chance that will happen. That's really laughable.

I also don't think this is true. After you get your 3-year H1B extension beyound the 6-year limit and say your 485 gets denied while you are in 7th year, you can still stay and work for the rest of the 2 years on your H1B and use those 2 years to file for new LC etc.
Gurus, please advise, with the slew of mistaken 485 denials this is an important point to clarify.
He will be out of status. Your 3 year extension beyond the allowed 6 years is based on that LC/I-140 from which your I-485 was filed. If the I-485 is rejected you have no right to stay beyond 6 years.
It is best to not use more than 3 years of H-1 if you have a pending I-485. That way you have 3 more years of H-1 in case you get rejected. The pending I-485 gives you unlimited time in the form of EAD/AP. Dont waste your H-1 time.
It only makes sense to keep H-1 while you have AOS if your country of chargeability is ROW, which is usually current. If your country is backlogged, it will most likely extend your H-1 over six years. Please consult a proper immigration attorney before you do anything.

I had sent the supporting docs but NO photos and it reached them on 05/21.
Now I am reading abt people getting RFEs on 87th day... is it advisable to just send the photos now.. as an add-on supporting doc?
Has anyone done that... or wait for action on the EAD from USCIS..?

Now I am reading abt people getting RFEs on 87th day... is it advisable to just send the photos now.. as an add-on supporting doc?
Has anyone done that... or wait for action on the EAD from USCIS..?

Thank you so much for your responses! I did not mean to lie to the consulate when I answered "no" on the form the previous time. I think the thing that we've actually came back in time proves it.
This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements.
The new DS-160 form doesn't have this questions because I've heard that many people were confused by it. The consulate officer did not ask us if we were planning to immigrate to the US. I know of quite a few people who were issued a non-immigrant visa while replying "yes" to that question. Does it mean the law was broken on that case?
Does it matter if the "I-130" was not approved yet? Does it count "immigration intent" from the date they've received documents from my brother? Please comment. Thank you.
You need to *prove* that you have no intention for immigrating to US. Your intention is within your head; it does not start from any given date or given action by USCIS. The IO needs to "read your mind". The legal standard is that the court concedes that no one can know for sure what one's intentions are, however, the immigration officer can make a reasonable guess at the intentions by observing the actions you took or someone else took on your behalf.
In your case:
1. Someone filed I-130 for you. This is for permanent immigration to US.
2. You have family ties in US.
3. You have traveled to US before (I do not know how frequently).
4. You want to join a university that does not even have your major; that too you do not know what exactly you will study in that university. This itself is a very strong indication (at least in my mind) that you are not really interested in the education, but you applied to that university just for coming to US.
All together, it shows a clear pattern of observable evidence that your intention is to immigrate to US.
