    When your employer filed for revocation of I-140, on 02/03/2009 the officer might have performed an action of disapproval instead of revoke and also the date of action not updated (and you got the soft LUD not hard).
    This will let the current officer to see as disapproved on 09/04/2007 ?. Just a thought.

    Good to see more and more people contributing.

    Come on people, now we are in the same boat.
    For many of us, GC journey is just started. All of us have seen how difficult it was to cross the first tide that shattered our lives for 15 full days - can we forget the 15 days of darkness (2nd-17th July)?... We've heard the agonizing stories of those who're on this boat for years now. With the backlogs and all, this journey is far from over from them too..

    This journey will have many more painful and frustrating tides...
    We have many adversaries who are united and resolved not to let us succeed.

    IV rescued us this time, it helped us in overcoming the first tide.
    Now we need to strengthen it for the future. Your small contributions made today will go long way.

    Just imagine, if we are successful in making a change that allows using 200000 wasted visa numbers, then it can shorten the wait time by, probably, an year or two. And this is just one example. Legal immigration system requires many more improvements. It will not happen unless we've some representation and unity. IV provided that platform to us.

    If we're not united and potent, then many bills are waiting to harm us. There are big-shot politicians, media people and groups who are doing whatever they can to harm us. We've witnessed and they've not stopped it. They are relentless..

    We cannot be a sitting duck for them.

    Lets contribute to strengthen IV - our group, our support and our united front in this tidy and turbulent GC journey.

    GUYS, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE GENEROUSLY!!

    Now, we have a VOICE - ie ImmigrationVoice ...
    Strengthen it, so that those making decisions can hear our problems - LOUD and CLEAR.

    FRIENDS, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE.... !!!

    You guys are awesome.. !!

    THANKS!!!

    How many though contacted their Senators for this ammendment ? Chances are that Numbers USA probably put in more calls than the proponents of this measure. The least one can do is let your Senator know of your disappointment and let those who voted in favor of your appreciation otherwise if one is silent how is the Senator to know if it impacts their constituents.

    what matters more , IMHO, is some of the basic skills like motivation, hunger for goal, work ethic, stress management etc which typically is categorized as life skills. Which are not teachable.

    Immigrants have these in plenty, that probably explains why a graduate from village school in India, can kick ass in a duke and later succeed at work too.

    Education helps, quality education starts one off with advantage. But that's about it...life is marathon not a 4-6 year sprint @ universities.

    These studies by wadhwa and co should start looking at these and not just patents , quality of education etc .

    Here is the information sent to IV by Research Program Manager at NEU

    Thank you for sending excellent compilation of information on this subject. It is very helpful to understand the background of this issue.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    When Congress passed the Economic Stimulus Act in January, anti-immigrant pressure groups, such as FAIR, cried foul. FAIR claimed that the Act would put funds into the hands of illegal immigrants. They therefore petitioned for an amendment that would exclude taxpayers who file with an ITIN, which according to FAIR included many illegal immigrants (sic).

    http://www.fairus.org/site/PageServer?pagename=research_mar08nl01?&printer_friendly=1

    After FAIR�s concerns were aired in the US media, the Senate amended the Act to require valid Social Security numbers on all tax returns qualifying for the stimulus payment. Families who file jointly are excluded from ANY payment if one of the taxpayers on the form filed with an ITIN. As a result, thousands of Military families and an even larger number of legal US residents will receive no stimulus payment. Consider a report in a military newspaper about a family of five stationed overseas. The father is a foreign citizen who filed a joint return using an ITIN. Now the entire family will not receive the stimulus check, even though the mother (a US soldier) and her three children are US citizens.

    http://www.military.com/news/article/itin-ineligible-for-special-rebate.html

    In Japan, thousands of military families face the same situation.

    http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/04/army_rebate_041408w/

    The solution, according to some, is to amend the tax return and file separately. However, by excluding the ITIN holders from the tax return, the head of household must forgo claiming them as dependents. The end result has little or no benefit in most cases because to receive the stimulus payment, the taxpayer must agree to pay more in taxes.

    Foreign born workers who live in the US are also affected. Many have lived in the US for years and have been dutifully paying taxes and contributing to the US economy. However, a large number have family members who do not have Visas that permit them to work (Laws that prevent dependents of immigrants from working in the US already places these families at an economic disadvantage). As a result, they are not eligible for a SSN and must file their tax returns using ITIN numbers. Even though these families are faced with the same challenges as their American born neighbors, they will receive no tax relief because of the ITIN exclusion.

    The only way to get the stimulus payment is to obtain a Social Security Number for �non-work� purposes. The SSA may issue an SSN to an alien under the following provision:

    20 C.F.R. � 422.104(a)(3)

    (i) You need a social security number to satisfy a Federal statute or regulation that requires you to have a social security number in order to receive a Federally-funded benefit to which you have otherwise established entitlement and you reside either in or outside the U.S.;

    http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/422/422-0104.htm

    The Social Security Administration is required by federal law to issue Social Security Numbers to legal aliens who require them to receive federally funded benefits under Section 205(c)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Social Security Act, which states that the Social Security Administration is required to assign an SSN to �any individual who is an applicant for or recipient of a benefit funded in whole or in part with Federal funds.�

    Here are some links to documents from official Senate and House websites (senate.gov, house.gov), which refer to the stimulus payment as a benefit.

    Lawmakers

    Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House

    �Residents of the U.S. territories will also receive the benefit.�

    Johnny Isakson, United States Senator from Georgia

    The benefit would phase out for single people earning more than $75,000 a year and married couples earning more than $150,000.

    Johnson (GA04) | Press Release | Rep. Johnson Votes to Stimulate Economy

    Americans who earned at least $3,000 in 2007 will receive the benefit, including Social Security recipients and 250,000 disabled veterans. Higher income taxpayers are not eligible and the relief phases out above incomes of $75,000 for a single earner and $150,000 for married couples.

    Senator Robert Menendez | Newsroom

    �Today's event is a chance to spread the word so that everyone is aware of the steps they need to take to receive this benefit.�

    News | Senator Pete V. Domenici

    This benefit would help an estimated 20 million seniors and 250,000 disabled veterans.

    EconomicStimulus2008

    The 2008 tax instructions will include a worksheet to help those who did not qualify for a payment or those who received a reduced amount determine if they can obtain a benefit when they file their 2008 tax returns next year.

    Senate Finance Committee

    020808 Econ Stim Staff Summary.pdf (application/pdf Object)

    The amount of the credit is phased out at a rate of 5% of adjusted gross income beginning at $75,000 ($150,000 in the case of joint returns). Residents of the U.S. possessions will also receive the benefit�

    The law also clearly states that qualified recipients of this benefit must have social security numbers to receive these funds. No other identification number is considered permissible. SEC. 6428 (h) (2) �Identification Number Requirement� states, �For purposes of paragraph (1), the term `valid identification number' means a social security number issued to an individual by the Social Security Administration. Such term shall not include a TIN issued by the Internal Revenue Service.�

    According to SSA document 20 CFR Part 422 [Reg. No. 22] RIN 0960-AF05 Evidence Requirements for Assignment of Social Security Numbers (SSNs); Assignment of SSNs for Nonwork Purposes, a �valid non-work purpose� results when the �law requires an alien who is legally in the U.S. to have an SSN in order to receive general public assistance benefits (i.e., a public benefit that is means-tested) to which the alien has established Entitlement.�

    The means-testing provision of H.R. 5140, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 is stated in SEC. 6428 (d) Limitation Based on Adjusted Gross Income.

    The federal government has also defined H.R. 5140 as a form of financial relief to persons who fall within certain income categories. According to a Whitehouse publication explaining the means-testing provision of H.R. 5140, �This relief would be available to everyone with adjusted gross income less than $75,000 for singles and $150,000 for married couples filing jointly. It will be phased out for taxpayers above those income thresholds. Taxpayers may qualify by filing a tax return for 2007 and including a valid Social Security number on their tax return.� [Fact Sheet: Bipartisan Growth Package Will Help Protect Our Nation's Economic Health, Office of the Press Secretary, February 13, 2008, whitehouse.gov].

    Lawmakers included the identification requirements to HR.5140 under the belief that all legal residents of the United States will hold Social Security numbers. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the Commissioner of Social Security to �take affirmative measures to assure that social security account numbers will, to the maximum extent practicable, be assigned to all members of appropriate groups or categories of individuals by assigning such numbers� [Section 205(c)(2)(B)(i)] and that all qualified individuals receive �financial relief� under H.R. 5140 according to the stated will and intention of the United States Congress and Senate (as described in the links above).

    This scenarios is for those who used all 6 years on H1 and got H1 extension due to a pending AOS application. they may have EADs too..

    Ron Gocher quotes:
    "Again, to be clear, my point is that if your AOS is denied, you immediately lose all eligibility for post sixth year extensions of H status. All time spent in H status counts against the six year limit. If you burn up time in H status while you are waiting for an AOS adjudication, you may well make it impossible to go back into H status if your AOS is denied."

    My interpret...

    Rule 1 :

    > The max limit for H1 is only 6 years.

    > You can only extend H1 beyond 6 years if there is a pending AOS
    this means if there is no pending AOS, u r not eligible for H1.

    On thing is clear, if AOS denial is valid, then thats it, no more H1 (after 6yrs)

    but surprisingly Ron doesnt use the same logic for EAD too.

    > EAD is also given as a temp relief for those who has pending AOS
    so if there is no pending AOS, no more EAD too.

    he thinks EAD is valid even after AOS valid Denial.


    THe BIG QUESTION is, If AOS is wrongly denied and MTR is open,

    What is the status of the dude?

    Is the status AOS, coz its been denied already...

    But again, if the dude's out of status due to AOS denial,
    how come CIS allow to file MTR? Coz they know the guy who is
    filing MTR is out-of-status due to AOS denial :-)

    Its like a software u tested a lot with all kind of scenarios,
    but there is one scenario still not tested.

    Like in software, the dudes who initially wrote the code and the dudes who initially spcified requirements, are long gone to a different jobs. and after a few years (5,10 etc), a new set of dudes trying to wonder why this scenarios is missed, coz the whole biz process is already changed totally.

    so, the dudes who wrote these rules and regulations are long gone and retired. and there are hell lot of things changed afterwards like AC21 etc etc.

    thats is why systems need to be re-evaluated in a regular basis.


    can this shit be any more tangled.... :-)

    Core team may not like this but I can understand your point. There is a communication gap between IV Core team and members. Core team wants to hide everything they are doing assuming that anti are reading the forum and they will know what we are doing. On other side members feel uncomfortable as nothing comes out as solid / strong plan of action. There were couple of instances were I personally felt that core talks too much among themselves and release almost zero information to members, it may be good for community overall but not good for an organization where everyone is participating directly or indirectly. By recent posts by Pappu, I think they are improving.

    We need to give them a chance as anyways their act is selfless. They may be lagging in personal management but they are not bad by heart or doing anything for personal benefit.

    With all due respect to the selfless hard work of IV core, I concur with ItIsNotFunny. There are many members who feel this way. IV core should be more open to members. I feel a cloud of secrecy always surrounding IV. Of course they cannot be public about all their activities, but more needs to be done on this front. You will see more members actively participating if core is more open.

    Well ...well ..well.... All this opposition tells me that I am on the right track along with all the people who support this cause.

    Infact, we had seen similar opposition when we spoke against labor substitution in 2004 on immigrationcom website.
    But labor substitution was stopped and DOL is currently auditing/investigating so many who used it. If you used labor substitution, you mostly should find that your I-140 is not getting adjudicated these days.

    Interfiling while being the same company is totally illegal. Its tantamounts to fabricating the job requirements or asking you HR to "create a job position".

    I whole heartedly support all EB3s who were qualified for EB2 when they filed their EB3 and we will keep this clause in mind when preparing the lawsuit.

    Rest.. good luck.. you might even get your I-140 (or GC) approved based on PD porting ... but we will make sure that you get investigated eventually and the "incorrect decision" overturned.

    My company would not provide me with I-140 receipt or approval notice. They would just inform me of the status.

    The way dates are moved doesn't seem to have any fact based intelligent logic.

    Thanks.. I was about to create a table myself based on the archived bulletins..
    However, there isnt much to infer - as you say there doesnt seem to be any logic in the movement of dates. The lack of transparency is quite frustrating.:mad:

    lonedesi,
    Any word this ?

    As i posted earlier i've scheduled a teleconference today morning with my HR Head and wanted complete explanation why they aren't releasing 7001. The general HR staff didn't release 7001 for last 8 days.

    The HR Head is more diplomatic guy - he said i'll sign and give you 7001 immediately but if any problem happens because of challenging USCIS via Ombudsman , he doesn't know. Basically he is resorting to "Scare Tactics" or the "Fear Mongering" that we saw in the Billary's 3 AM ad of political campaign.

    How what do i do Lonedesi - Shall i go ahead and ask him for 7001 and tell him that i don't care because this is a absolutely legal and right step to question USCIS if they are not following FIFO ??
