Once you got a filing a can donate a fraction to IV..
Way to goooooooooooooooooooooooo....
I am on H-1B and wife on H-4. We did not get our stimulus payment last year since she does not have SSN.
For people who did not receive stimulus payment last year can claim it this year. So for people like me whose wives are on ITIN, can get $600 back this year or so I think. The way to do this can be:
First file Married filing separately, claim $600 credit and then amend it to file married filing jointly. IRS will not ask stimulus back. Let me know your thoughts on this idea. I wish I could get $1200 but hey even $600 is better than nothing.
Any thoughts??

A few question related to the database:
1) Is the received date the same as the date the labor was filed (in other words, the priority date)
2) The 2005 and after database structure does not have employee name, and there are multiple records found on "prioirty" date, is there any other field that can be verified from other documents like the case number etc? How to nail down to exact record for me?
3) Is the SOC code the same as what we should be looking for "same or similar" job?
4) Assuming answer to above Q is yes, from where can we find detailed job duties for these codes?
Thanks cool_desi_gc, this is a very good tool provided we know how to correctly interpret the data.
Dude,
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/CasePerm.aspx
There are MS Access database files for each year.Depending on which year your labor is filed, download the Access db.
For eax, mine was Dec 2002.I downlaoded 2002,03,04.My record was found in 2004 database.
If you open the Access db (You need to have MS Access to view these files.If you dont have it, downlaod the free trail version from microsoft.com)
If you open the file, it is the database of all the Labors that are filed in that year.One of the attribute is the Employee name.You can also search on Attorney name.
If I were you, i would first filter on Employee State and then search for the Employee name.
Its simple.Try it and let me know if you need further help.
Good luck

Can somebody explain how unused visas are recaptured?
Will unused RoW EB-1 be given to the most retrogressed category (EB-2 India)? Or will they go to EB-2 RoW? What does the law state? Will per-country quotas apply when unused visas are used?
There is no clearcut guideline on how overflow is supposed to work. From people's experiences this is what USCIS has been doing:
unused RoW EB-1 goes to RoW EB-2
unused RoW eb-2 goes to RoW EB-3
until the last quarter of the year unused RoW EB-3 stayed unused.
In the last quarter, unused RoW EB-3 spill over into all other countries irrespective of whether the country has hit its cap or not. a complete free-for-all...

Pearson memo soft copy is here (http://immigrationportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16204&d=1177965983)
I sent mine and spouse's 485 receipt notices and both the I-140 approval notices. I sent only copies. You really need to find the correct PO Box number of TSC or NSC to send the documents. My attorney sent the letter to NSC general service PO Box and I do not think that it was correct. I am planning to send the same stuff again to 485 filing PO Box.

Subject: 13 years to get a green card through legal route!
Message:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I will need in total 13 years to get a green card, even though I am employed in high skill job!
I applied for green card in July 2006 under employment based category 2 (EB2-India), which is only for the people employed in a high skill job. There are more than 25,000 people waiting in this category and the annual quota is only 3,000. At this rate, I may get visa after 10 years or 13 years in total!
Furthermore, I am restricted by law to work in the same or similar job category till I get green card. So on one hand the category wants bright people but on the other hand it stops that bright person from advancing in the career for not 1 or 2 years but 13 years!
How human is it to make a person and his family who has been in this country for last 10 years, paid taxes on time, has no criminal record, and employed in a very high skill job wait 13 years to get a green card so that can start a normal life?
Thank you for reading.
Best Regards.
Notes:
Mr. Charles Oppenheim of the Department of State Visa Office stated on June 10, 2009 that there are 25,000 EB2 India cases that are pre-adjudicated but are waiting for a visa number.

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...
That is a good point.
But now its too late. Changing names means:
1. We have to change names everywhere, including the name in the registration of the organization in New Jersey where its registered as non-profit, name change in other places like IRS where we got approved as a non-profit organization for tax purposes, in next year's tax return, etc.
2. Changing names in other reports we file at Federal Govt.
3. Letting all offices and other org we are working with know about this.
You would be surprised how much awareness and knowledge is there about Immigration Voice in the staff of various Senators and senior house members. Most of the Judiciary counsel staffers know about immigration voice. Since so much work has gone into building the name-recognition .... A VERY IMPORTANT ASSET... it would be tough to transfer all the name recognition to a new name.

whatz wrong with someone who gets GC in 6 months, is'nt it our sole goal to change system to have GC in few months,
c'mon guys are you jealous, what makes you think just because you did MS here that you are more qualified than a person who has done Bcom from india, he is manager atleast he knows how to grow in a orginzation and get a GC in 6 months, so learn from him,
get over it this is how the system works if you want to change atleast think positve and call your lawmakers

Well that's where the problem lies. State of Arizona considers me a resident based on:
1. I have lived here for past 12 consacutive month.
2. Pay state taxes.
Yet the university refuses to accept that and still consideres me non-resident just to charge a higher fee. This is so strange.
I would consult an attorney to understand your residency status..
usually at the time of filing your tax you do declare your residency status (like you are a resident of X or Y state..(if i am not wrong)..]
I think its a legal loophole they are exploiting..sad;-(

The realistic answer is no. It is almost impossible to get eb2 in software jobs. On an average it is taking more 9 months to get labor clearence that too if it is eb3. if you are trying eb2 that is almost a definite audit. We have a case in our company which was stuck in audit (eb2) for more than an year now. our company and attorney have a policy that they are no longer filing eb2 (offcourse it is a different matter than they are no longer filing any green card application because of layoffs). So unless you are working for a desi "con"sultant company not many american companies (almosy none) are filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb3 to eb2 conversions. Even desi companies are scared shit because USCIS is knocking the living daylights out of them. Even desi companies are scared of filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb2.
we are living in a different age now where there are reports that USCIS is sending out invistigators to look into even ac21 cases. Enforcement has gone up, hint :last year h1 got filled on day 1, we are almost 6 months since h1 opened and only 45k h1 have been filled, the reason is USCIS is giving all sorts of rfe, so nobody is filing for h1. Forget about porting as in this environment you will not even find somebody doing eb3, only day dreamers will think of some company willing to file eb2 in software.
My wife has more than 5 years of US experience and we cant even get her employer to file Eb3 because they are saying they are getting tons of resumes in response to advertisement and they dont want to do any green cards for atleast an year.
As slim a chance as it is, visa recapture or some administrative fix like a temporary green card or relaxation of ac21 regulations like same semilar job restrictions is our best bet.
Hi All,
I am on H1B from 1998, 12th year and counting.
I applied for my labour 2 times but unfortunately because of different reasons those labor processings could not continue. 3rd time I could use a substitute labor (priority date Oct 2003) which is an EB3 labor certificate in 2005. I applied for I-140 and got approved in 2005.
I applied for I-485 in July 2007 when USCIS opened the gates. My 485 is pending. I got EAD. I am still continuing my H1B status with my new employer.
I am not working for the company that processed my GC. Recently I got an RFE like everyone else about my current employment and responded with the support of my current employer.
I think that the dates for EB3 will not move any further in any near future.
My question is, can I in any way convert my case from EB3 to EB2. If yes, what would be the process.
Please advice.
Thanks in Advance.

Is there a pattern for RFEs? Why some on gets an RFE for AP?
Good question - based on what I am reading on this forum, it seems to me like the RFE is requested for people who travel a lot in and out of the country. My wife has traveled a lot of times - I even lost track in the last 5 years - and she did tell me that they did not take her I-94. It would be still attached to the passport and when she enters back - if the travel time was less than 20 days, the officer discarded her new I-94 and asked her to keep the old I-94 - in some cases, he/she would just take it during entry. This happens mostly when she travels to Mexico or South America. The evidence that was being requested is the dates of travel and type of visa used to enter the country with the required documented evidence on the passport (color copy).

But Pope I thought 4 MP is all PJ's want ;)
Actual daily press and wire service photographers will undoubtly use 4mp. You may not be aware, but all the goreous 2 column color shots you see on USA Today etc. are printed from files that are usually 700k - 800k. There are heavily compressed for transmitting. All the wires do that. They don't get full files. The most attractive things to me are the high ISO performance, the ability to customize colorspace amd I'm anxious to test the new autofocus capabilities. The 8 mp is a plus for shooting for a mag or other output. Even at that, I've had 1D shots as a glossey mag color that looked great. One advantage higher megapixels give a sportshooter is for sports like football. Due to the size of the field, the ability to crop more gives you more field coverage. But then the question is will you have enough time to work with files that are twice the size. I'm sure that's why Canon listened and gave us 4 MP as an option.
