I tried to sign-up for monthly but looks like you only accept thru paypal. I don't prefer paypal. Let me know if you have any other option. Even though your message says you accept CC, click puts you right on paypal.

Visa Bulletin Mess Update: Rumors and Innuendo
HLG has confirmed that the CIS is not returning I-485 Applications back to those who filed I-485 during the first week of July. This is leading many to speculate that the CIS may reverse course and re-re-amend the July Visa Bulletin; whether the Visa Bulletin actually reopens remains to be seen. HLG normally refrains from commenting on rumors, but we have talked to several Washington insiders and believe that this is seriously being considered.
What does this mean for foreign nationals who planned on filing I-485s in July 2007?
HLG recommends that all foreign nationals who planned on filing I-485s in June take two actions:
Have your medical appointments completed. Medical appointments can back up quite quickly. Therefore we urge people to complete their medicals.
Send in your documents to HLG. HLG�s I-485 Step By Step Guide has a list of documents that we need for all I-485 filing. HLG will not begin preparing the I-485 at this time, but we still recommend that you send us all of the items on the list.
HLG I-485 Step By Step Guide: http://www.hammondlawfirm.com/485step_by_step.htm
What does this mean for foreign nationals who planned on filing via Consular Processing?
We urge all foreign nationals to attend consular appointments. The Consulates are clearly issuing visa stamps to those with appointments.
DOS/USCIS wont do the same mistake one more time . Rather than that , i am expecting August VB with "C" ....so wait for the good news in couple of days ....

This has been a posted by a fellow member 5 pages ago.. ARE THEY DIVERTING EB3 NUMBERS to some other categories?
Pappu or someone knowledgeable about backlog..please answer.
EB3 ROW is at Jun 2004. But as per latest USCIS inventory, EB3 ROW pending 485's are around 48,000. Visa numbers available every year for EB3 is approximately 42k. If you deduct the backlogged EB3 countries (4x3000) visa numbers, the total comes down to 30k for EB3 ROW. So EB3 ROW should become current or atleast Jul 07 in another 1.5 years. If this is not going to happen, it means they are diverting the EB3 numbers to some other categories.
my 2 cents
Note : If EB3 ROW has 30k visas per year and pending EB3 ROW 485's are only 50k.. why it is still hanging in 2004. God only knows !!

yeah it seems that reporing of 485 approvals has slowed down a lot, i rem seeing 10 > a day a few weeks back. The sadest thing is that that one user who reported getting approved today has a PD of 07/15/2004.... i thought they were approving 05 cases.

I am having hard time procuring a Non-availability of Birth record certificate(NAC) from my home city of Delhi. Is there a way around this? I do have affidavits from my parents.
This NAC is holding up my application. Can we submit the document that you get in 10th grade with date of birth instead of the NAC. The NAC process takes a month or so, Police check...local magistrate orders the local municipal corporation et al.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciates. Sorry if this post is in the wrong thread.
Get a new BC made, and attach 2 affidatvits. I was able to get the new BC in 2 days. Though 'coz I was bon in a Hospital in Delhi, they could locate my records and the new BC specifies that Date registered was 28 years ago. It costed my parents about Rs2000, they got hold of a dalal in from of the NDMC office and he was able to get everything done. According to them there are tons of people standing there getting these things done.

Hi
I am the Susan from www.expatsvoice.org and just so you know my husband passed away last year
He was the petitioner for my son who was to follow to join. We only heard son had aged out in Oct 2005 and was getting a court case ready in early 2006.
Sadly my husband became unwell in March 06, diagnosed terminal on 4th May and died 13th May 2006
Someone posted, there maybe only a few cases but the cost is huge from an emotional standpoint
If I win my court case this may result in others having benefit who were previously denied lets hope so and stand together on this.
The grief and deprression I have suffered is unbearable due to errors, delays and husbands death
The memo in cspa clearly says that the CSPA should be interpred expansively, to me that means common sense and compassion.
Until we get an amendment to CSPA I feel there will be so many more cases of hardship and termoil to come to notice

Friends,
I know once I 485 is filed and I 140 is approved after 6 months you can move to a simlar job.
My question is what you get laid off after 6 months of filing I 485 but you cant get a new job immediately, what if you get new job only after 2-3 months gap - what are the reprecussions ?
Also is there concrete guildlines on what same or similar job is ?
Thanks

Interesting discussion about 245(i) cases on murthy.com forum (http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=1474093861&m=7381004591)

Maryland Labor Certification Processing Dates
Posted Dec 28, 2001
The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Registration (DLLR) announced in mid-December, 2001 that their office is logging in and issuing confirmation of receipt for cases received on April 30, 2001. A remaining 1,500 applications received that day await the logging-in process.
As MurthyBulletin and MurthyDotCom readers may be aware, April 30, 2001 was the deadline to file for INA Section 245(i) eligibility under the Legal Immigration and Family Equity Act (LIFE Act) of December 2000. This provision allows individuals who are out-of-status or who entered the U.S. without being inspected at a designated INS port of entry to adjust to permanent residence, if they are otherwise qualified. In order to benefit from this provision, the individual must be the beneficiary of a labor certification or a family petition filed on or before April 30, 2001. For this reason, extraordinary numbers of cases were filed nationwide on or slightly before April 30, 2001. According to the information released by the Maryland DLLR and other states, local DOL offices did not receive additional funding in connection with the LIFE Act filings.
With respect to case processing, the DLLR reports that they are processing RIR cases received April 5, 2001 and non-RIR cases received March 8, 2001. Of course, these processing dates will be further affected by the glut of cases filed on or immediately before the LIFE Act deadline.
These time frames are similar to those experienced in most other states that are attempting to catch up on the huge volume of cases filed on or before April 30, 2001. We will share information with our MurthyBulletin and MurthyDotCom readers as and when released by other state labor agencies.

I fully agree with this idea, but unfortunately this has been discussed for a long time now but none (including IV CORE) seems to be interested in pursuing this further, although we all know that this has higher changes of approval. And I am sure even the folks with no MS from US will support if for simple reason that it will help them as well if backlog and crowed is reduced by whatever means. So I assume we all (US Degree Holder or otherwise) will support this -- still no actions..
I agree with this 100%, BUT we (US degree holdeers) have to understand that in the GC aspirant community there are tons of people who came in through "desi consultnats" (even this word makes my blood boil), who will never agree with this or support this. Classic Indian mentality, one crab pulling the other back in the basket.

eastindia, you are correct. GCPerm sometime back was on a "flower campaign" mode and was asking all IV members to send flowers so that USCIS will approve his/her green card ASAP. now that, it has been approved, the user has switched to a citizenship campaign mode.
GCPerm, a piece of advice. When a person volunteers for a cause to help others, the person should never think of how the result benefits them. If you look at IV members who are advocating for clearing this green card backlogs, by volunteering for the cause, they are not looking at how it benefits them, but how they can pave a way for future applicants.
When it comes to citizenship it is more difficult as I have personally seen people who are willing to continue with green cards for more than 20 years than taking up US Citizenship because they are more emotionally connected to their birth countries.
Anyway, note if you are sure of the fact that you want this campaign to continue even after six years of you starting it(by then you can become a US Citizen), then you should be promoting this.
Example, Aman Kapoor who started IV, got his green card and still fighting to clear the green card backlog mess.
Hope you understand the point. Nobody wants a leader who won't be able to continue once their ulterior motives are attained.
Guys let it be selfishness... but ultimately if we win, it is a win for every one... I am living in this country for more than 11 years but still with an EAD status.... We are spending most of our life time as an ALIEN. Think yourself which is better...

more participation if we woke up inactive members. Please send the advocacy news letter to all members to get more participation.
Members from the mid western states - your participation is crucial in the advocacy efforts.
OH, IN, IL, TN, KY, MO, AR, KS, OK
It is very difficult to get appointments from legislative offices if no one from their constituency will be attending the meeting.
The DC Advocacy effort is for YOUR green card. Please take the time to talk to your employers now and get the required 2 days off to participate in the event.

hope USCIS/DHS have not already replied and we are not ware of it, making july 2nd fiasco an ordinary thing rather than extra-ordinary.
Keeping my finger cross that something positive will happen as a result of this letter and will not bite us later in the process too as someone said here throwing all these apps in cold storage.
Everything looks suspicious after July 2nd

So why didn't we accept the current retrogression as "injustice and screwed up process of USCIS" and just sat tight? Why did IV get started? Why threadful of messages moaning in agony over the retrogression? What warranted those threads, and for that matter, IV then?
There are no 2 ways to this.. it is injustice and screwed up process of DOL and USCIS.....but the situation (DOL) is no different than 1 day ago. it should not warrant you to start this thread.

My wife and I went for the medical examination 1.5 years ago, when we thought we'll be eligible to file shortly. We still have those sealed envelopes. However, the time passed and I understand we need to undergo the exam again for our June filing, correct?
The first time around my wife had a positive skin test (immunized in childhood) and negative Xray. Back then she was advised to never do the skin test again, as it'll always be positive. So, she'll need to go for an Xray this time. However, she is pregnant, and they don't Xray pregnant women... Is she an exempt then? There gotta be a provision for something like this, right?
Thanks.
Vlad
My wife and me went for the medical test today. We had a baby boy a few months back. They didnt do the immunization and skin test for my wife but did the HIV test. They said they would mention the same in 693 document that the test were not done because she is nursing a baby. But this doesnt mean that she is exempted from immunizations and TB test. She would need to come back and do the immunization after 3 months and the doctor would keep a record of it and INS would varify it later with doctor about the test results.

While it's good to see both threads getting lot of hits, I suggest that we merge both of these threads so that we all get on the same page. Half the members are responding in one thread while other half are on the other thread and I think it's kind of distracting.
