In Ohio, the DL validity is upto the date of your H1/L1/EAD expiry. The pain I had in Ohio was with the employment verification letter. My company provides the verification letter via an automated request system: the letter is faxed to us when we call a number and go thru some prompts. It is...

I hope that is true and not just "political speak" to garner some votes. Bush said in 2000 as part of his agenda that all naturalization and LPR applications will be adjudicated in 6 months. We are no where close to that. The other thing they need to get a handle on is the efficiency of...

They increased the H1s and L1s based on the request/recommendation of the businesses in the USA. So they acted in the best interest of the USA in increasing those visas. The backlog mess is primarily due to the ineptitude of USCIS. How many AOS petitions do they currently have pending? is it...

Thanks for all the hard work. You are doing great. Keep at it. Not knowing "what is happening behind the scenes" is not a good thing. I think IV will be better off in achieving its goals by letting everyone know the entire journey(what all is happening along the way) instead of just...

Deleted as it is not relevant with the dates in question.

That is asking for trouble. What RealCanadian said is not just ethically speaking, it is legally speaking. If she wants to come to the US and live here, she could request them to let her keep the GC after reporting her divorce and explaining the situation. I seriously doubt that they would...

All it means is that these forums represent a very small percentage of the actual cases. If only the USCIS published a monthly report of number of cases pending in each category by the chargeable country by priority date month, that would clear up a lot of questions. It probably will also...

But its not a question of whether a visa number has been used or not that dictates the cut off date on the visa bulletin. Isn't it the priority date of the first application that could not be reached? In the past, if an application was not approvable because of pending NC, they set it aside...

Have you heard the saying, "tere moo mein ghee shakkar" ? An attempt at English translation:"let there be sweets in your mouth". Usually said to someone when they make an announcement of good news.

Well I agree that overall it is funny business to try and predict approvals/denials, priority date movement etc, I do not think all such "attempts" are posted with fun intent. Some posters are pretty serious when they post their predictions - they try to analyze the recent approvals and they...

I don't think he was being serious with his prediction. He was trying to be funny?

As some one else said, you could make investments anytime, regardless of your visa status. Based on your visa, limitations apply on whom/where you can work. If you have not applied for EAD yet, I would recommend that you do so now if you are eligible to apply; and then be involved in the...

I read this message thrice, still can't make out what was being said. I got a headache trying to understand it. It is solely due to my lack of comprehension, no body else's fault.

Did your hiring manager tell you that he will do your GC and bear all the costs when he/she hired you? Usually that is all that will be needed - a letter from your manager. I am surprised that they are asking you to justify why the company paid for your family's immigration. That is why I...

They hard coded a random August date in their system. :D:cool::)

Some posts on this thread gave me a good laugh. My thanks to all the "sleep" contributors.

Some companies put policy restrictions on a second job, even if the work hours do not overlap. (eg: they do not want you to work for a competing company at the same time you work for them.) I would check with the HR just to make sure my current job won't be at risk if I simultanrously work...

I think the priority date will reappear in the visa bulletin for India EB2 before the end of the fiscal year, albeit for a brief period, so that they can use the visa numbers returned from the consular posts and those that may still end up trickling down from other categories/countries.

I am surprised why they asked you to return the card. If they have reversed their decision, the card is of no use anyways. (unless you try to use it for identification or employment or any other purpose, at which point you will be violating the law). The more important question is, do you...

Being cautious is good. But trying to understand all the workings of USCIS and their processes and questioning their every action (even a positive one) is taking it to an extreme. No? (Conspiracy Theory anyone??) That would have been OK if USCIS was transparent. But they are not...
