gtg506p, please post it there if you are a member so that they can participate.
I will participate in this wholeheartedly. One suggestion to the admin: perhaps we can post this in other websites also like ? I know a lot of people use that site for posting problems etc and whoever is not in IV might also get to know about it.

let's compile a list of famous immigrants like Albert Einstien, Henry Kissinger, Madalene Albright et al and change the face of what constitutes a legal immigrant. We need stories of doctors, scientists, engineers (the success of NASA) who were immigrants and benefited this country. That way we can fight the image of the immigrant as a low wage seeking will work for food kind of a worker being created by anti immigrants. Let Lou Dobbs fight history and deny it.

rodnyb (read your reply from Yesterday at 1:18 on page 7 of this blog.
All, The data rodnyb used is from Oct 2010 inventory where as I used Jan 2011 inventory data. This is my analysis..... Point out if I am wrong on any of my assumptions and I would be happy to correct myself and the data ...
The following are my assumptions based on the data available on Jan 05 2011 from
http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/statistics/Employment%20Based%20I-485%20Pending%20Inventory%20as%20of%20January%2005 ,%202011.pdf
Assumptions are
No applications are remaining before May 2006 (based on current priority dates)
Consolidated information is as follows the data taken is from above USCIS link.
World Inventory EB2 (http://irscjb.blogspot.com/2011/03/eb2-analysis-employment-based-485.html)
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
18850 15918 1073 3383 3411
India(Assumption there is 1 application(India Born) in every 2 applications received by USCIS Based on Aug 07 (185 applications - world inventory above)Vs Aug 07 95 applications - INDIA below ) based on (95/185 ~ 0.5), probability, the data from August 2007 onwards to end of 2010 is from India born applicants
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
January 1540 36 78 160.5
February 1444 30 63.5 172.5
March 1404 36 102 187
April 1420 49.5 101.5 189

August 1677 95 46 163 200
Sept 1745 15.5 42 163 115
October 1747 25.5 42 301.5 39.5
Nov 1737 24 32 175.5 33
Dec 1881 20.5 70 165.5 2
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
13098 10003.5 536.5 1691.5 1705.5
Based on the data of world inventory of May 2005 there are 1165 applications for EB2 and out of which 1110 is for India. Hence there is only 45 applications for the rest of the world for that month.
For Oct - Dec 2010
EB4/5 - 348 applicants
Eb1 - 1252 applicants
If considered that there are same number of applicants for Jan - April 2011 then from Oct 2010 to April 2010
EB4/5 - 696 applicants
EB1 - 2504 applicants
Expect at least for 6 months
9.3K from EB4/EB5 (total of 20K for EB4/5 and 10K for 6 months and after utilizing ~ 700)
18.8K from EB1 (42672 total and 21336 for 6months and after utilizing ~ 2500)
21.3 K from EB2 including ROW
I expect a total of 49K and considering porting of EB3 to EB2 & others it would be around 40K
With that said...
I dream to be current
Also, if there are 1 additional beneficiaries to the primary beneficiaries, then this 40K would become 20K in that case, I expect
Jan 2007 for India
if there are any 0.75 additional beneficiaries to the primary beneficiaries, then this 40K would become 30K in that case, I expect
June 2007 India

if she applied for H1B the first package the lawyer sumitted should have copies of her I-20 and EAD. Look through the package you may find a copy in it.
she didn't apply for an H1B unfortunately
went from OPT to J-2- which was stamped in Delhi
and then to H4 briefly (attorney was involved- wonder if we made a copy- good point)
and then back to F-1 which is the current status.....

I am from California. How can I ask this question?
I posted the following question for the Nevada Presidential debate. I urge all of you, specially if you are from Nevada, to ask a similar question.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22574335
http://www.januarydebate.com
"Illegal immigration has been a topic of heated debate and has received much needed attention during this election. Many of you have taken a strong position on one side or the other of this issue while ignoring the problems of aspiring legal immigrants. In the midst of all the hype and bickering about ILLEGAL immigration, there is a group of people, often forgotten and ignored, who are caught up in a bureaucratic mess and stuck in a limbo, patiently waiting on the path to LEGAL immigration. This is a group of high skilled workers, most of whom have advanced degrees in medicine, engineering and science from Universities in the US. These people have worked hard, paid taxes and waited their turn, many for a decade, without the end anywhere near sight because of a system that is hopelessly broken and inefficient. I am one of those people. I have been here legally for 10 years and still years away from the realizing the dream of immigrant status.
As the President of the United States how do you intend to address the problems faced by future Americans already living and working LEGALLY in the United States?"
For the skeptics-
I know the chances of including such a question are really slim, specially with the sponsors they have. However, if a lot of us ask similar questions, maybe they might bring it up.
Also, one might argue that even if they pose the question its not like all the backlogs are going to be eliminated. Thats not the expectation here. The idea behind this is to create an awareness and start people/media talking about problems of legal immigration.

I understand your frustration. I have heard similar things from employers about hiring people on H-1B.
Are you just assuming or have you actually tried to find out if there is indeed some law which allows employers to not consider a candidate solely based on the fact that he/she has an EAD as opposed to a green card? I can certainly understand that you don't want to get involved in a lawsuit and pay lawyer fees when you can easily find another job. But its not that difficult to contact OSC.
Having said that, I do understand that the employer can find a number of reasons to not hire somebody and all that would be legal. But here we have a case where you have 5 companies who have refused to consider you solely based on your immigration status. Somebody earlier has this in writing from Capital One.
I urge you and anybody else who has gone through this to find out more about this by calling the OSC's hotline. (http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/osc/htm/engperliwdiss.htm) If I were in your situation, I would at least want to find out what my rights are, what is discriminatory and what is allowed by law. Call them and simply explain that you believe that you were not considered eligible for a job because you have an EAD card as opposed to a Green Card.
Yes, I am aware about this but in my case I do not have any written or tape recorded evidence. In other guy's case at least he have written proof (Capital One) and that can be the base. Now many companies are doing this so it is ofcourse my assumption that they can do this under "Hire and fire" authority.. And main problem is that, when you are out for a job, you do not stop thinking to takle particular one "no", you want to just move haead and fix your job first.. That is practical reality:)

HRs generally "quote" the policy word in every sentence they speak or write. It is a matter of interpretation. The HR may not have a decision making power and is just following what he/she is asked to do. No company has a policy that says GC or citizen, but policy can says "Authorized to work for any em ployer in the United States. I guess it is a matter of interpretation.
The HR seems to be ill informed. Many companies do accept EAD and they are quite aware of the delays in EAD renewal - and that has rarely been the basis to reject a petition.
If this is a trend then it is an issue to all, but if this is an isolated case then definitely you can look into places other than Capital One.
If you want to spend time and resources you can go to a lawyer, but you have no guarantee that you will get the job there too.
I see in Capital Ones' career website they only have the restriction
"Capital One will not file non-immigrant visa petitions for alien workers."
Need to tell him that
1- EAD does not involve filing any petition on your behalf
2- Making a rule to hire only Citizen and GC with no security reason is as discriminatory as not hiring based on race (DHS opinion not yours)
3- You will not let something like this go quietly (try to put that point politely, but they may see it as a positive thing that you are determined and have the courage to stand up for what's right)

The letter says "Thanks you for your recent inquiry to the Texas Service Center (TSC) via letter for information regarding your case. ....." Seems like a standard letter template.
They returned my letter and even the envelope too. :)
I am assuming they have a clerk who has been instructed to do this.
Lets not worry about it, lets keep sending the letters

Here's a very good recent example
http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyId=13&articleId=9111963&intsrc=hm_topic
Point to be noted is that this case was not dismissed on merit, but that plaintiff's have not been able to prove significant damages resulting from the rule. A general 'dissatisfaction' with the rule ( for e.g. my wait times will increase if porting continues) doesnot translate into significant damages ( such as I'm losing the job). The merit of the case was never discussed!.
It would be interesting to see how many of the 'Yes' are going to remain 'Yes' when it comes to having their names on a lawsuit filed against USCIS (the whole list will be going to USCIS). It will be interesting to see how many of you stridently remaining anonymous on a (relatively) harmless public forum such as IV are going to come out in public to fight the USCIS. Good luck guys.
And happy nightmares whenver your cases get (not so) Soft LUDs. Is it because you joined the case? you never know.
Good luck once more
Good post!
Since GC is for the future job, any damage such as "I am losing current job" is legally immaterial and irrelevant.

Hi Shweta:
First, don't panic :) I doubt there's anything we can do about it at this stage. I'm in exactly the same situation (interview at the Delhi consulate on the 22nd, response - administrative processing, and the consular officer had told me that I'd get it in a week).
According to my lawyer, our cases have been sent to Washington for security clearence. And based on the feedback she has been getting, it is taking about a month. The embassy cannot issue our visas till they hear back from Washington.
So I realize that it totally _SUX_ but there's nothing we can do about it. So just chill and wait..
s
bepositive,
in my case i got no slip..whenever i call consulate new delhi they say still under admin processing ?? my lawyer checked with DOS..DOS had sent approval on jan 25th..still under proc at embassy !!
NOT SURE WHY ?? this delay is ??
i maybe forgetting..but which consulate did you go to and if new delhi then what was the description(looks) of the VO ?

can someone PLEASE start a email campaign (Yes, a chain letter) to at least the DESI community.
This is a great chance for a BIG step forward and many of you have worked VERY hard (which has motivated me also, else i had lost hope).
God bless!!!

This is a great chance for a BIG step forward and many of you have worked VERY hard (which has motivated me also, else i had lost hope).
God bless!!!
