    When to expect 485 receipt for concurrent filing

    I have filed 140 with 485 and got receipt for 140 dated July 27th. Does 140 has to be cleared (that may take 8 months without premium processing) before 485 receipts can be issued? Thanks

    Important - Please do not support the AILF Class Action Lawsuit

    I agree with MA Labor. If at all we should sue USCIS for year 2000-2006 not 2007. This year they may have made a error in judgement and I am sure, it was very harsh on many people but still it was better this year than last few years. By the way, I am not yet eligible for filing 485 and I do not...

    PERM got denied

    After filing for PERM, usually DOL contacts employer by email. Employer has to verify electronically that he actually had requeted for this petition. if they are unable to contact by email, they are supposed to contact by phone but they may not. Check if that is where the problem is?

    Exemption of J1 Physicians

    I was reading thread about exempting J 1 Physicians from GC quota. Last month I had written to several senate members. Most of the email came back with reply that we accept letters from state residents only. Anyway, I got a reply from my state senator in mail. I had mentioned exempting J 1 from...

    Sen. Hagel Immigration Reform (Employment-Related) Bill

    I like this bill. if passed it may take away many people from line. As I mentioned before, I still believe US govermentment/employers would not like US educated and trained people to leave. Also, What is the point of national interest Green card without availability of visa numbers? This...

    Social security tax and immigration

    Is there a way we can push for refund of social security taxes in case of not getting immigrant visas? It may not work in short period of time but looking at how things works, money speaks a lot. I think it will be substantial amount of money and when they are talking about budget deficit...

    I urge you to read McCain bill carefully again. In its current form it will provide help only to EB3 world. EB3 india and china may benefit by insignificant amount and EB1 and EB2 India will be a dream. Please do not support any bill without knowing what it proposes.

    Country based quota is not fair

    I am creating this thread to carry forward discussion in (Identifying last successful coalition). Even though it may not change anything, I am tempted to respond. I completely agree with what berkleybee said. I never realized until retrogression happened that vast majority of immigration is...

    Lobbying/Identifying the Last Successful Coalition

    Do you really think what you want is fair. It is not going to be decided by me and you, therefore there is no point in arguing but I believe, those million people belong to same world as yours and we all are foreginers. Whoever comes first gets served first. I hope you are not talking about...

    Hey, one solution is to go back home or do part time nursing training here and then apply for nurse visa. (no offence to nursing profession, just trying to laugh at policy).

    I think you have no time to apply for consular processing. you need an interview date and by that time september 30th will be over . If you can do, over next three days file 485. I have never applied for 485, I might be wrong but you do not have time. If you are from India and China do if fast...

    McCain-Kennedy / Cornyn-kyl bill - This Fall

    Even though McCain is not ideal for EB2 that is best that there is there. Biggest impact on EB2 comes from elimination of rule which allows Unused EB2 to go to EB2 (oversubscribed countries). If that does not happen, unused EB2 and EB1 will first be offered to EB3 rest of the world. Both of...
