I have been swimming and strength training for quite some time now and have started kettle bells and Taek Won Do this year. I do see a lot of women working out. All I am saying is that these forums have a lower proportion of females.......pure statistics.
And yes; there are a lot of females working out and the ones who do take up martial arts are more serious than the guys. However the most common excuse cited by the ones who hesitate to take up running/walking, is security. I am trying to get the ones who are not working out to get out; the ones who are; have a lot of tenacity.
.............BTW, be nice to me. By the time you come to DC to run the race, I might have my brown belt :)

Will the completion of the Backlogs Centers help a LC recently submitted? Will my status change if an audit is required? I am just worried for the "30 days" deadline to response to the audit letter. Just in case the letter has been sent to my employer and is still hasn't been open it. :( Am I asking too much if my LC was submitted on 08/06/07?
I've found some responses :) on the "Performance Report: Mar 28 2005 - Sep 30 2006" http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/pdf/OFLC_Report_v11_8-23-07.pdf posted by Macca on another thread.
This Saturday (10/06/07), I'll be reaching my 60 days "In Process" Status since 08/06/07 which will take me out of the first group of "efficiency" (< 60 days of waiting period) 66% at the Chicago Processing Center; now I am heading down to the second group (> 61 - 120 days) which manage 21% of the cases. Hopefully, I'll get out soon.... this is causing me so much stress....
Thanks anyways....

Definitely agree with herd mentality and haste, but can't blame them also. What if the dates go back again next month. So its a catch-22.
good luck to everyone.
What i am trying to say here is firstly reaching congressman should not be on the first day itself which some of the folks are doing, atleast wait for a a couple of weeks. and then regarding opening SR i would say atleast wait for around a week or 10 days at the minimum if you are scared of dates moving back. And yes i am not pointing fingers at any individual so don't take it personally "gc_on_demand"

Nice post, i came to the US in 1996 for my masters, followed all rules to the T and got stuck. I am on my 4th AP and EAD (5th if you consider OPT). I think main problem is that we are trying to solve too many issues with limited ammunition. Start with a single point agenda for the short term...lets say recaptuing unused visas or something that is the least controvertial and focus on pushing it at every available opportunity. Currently we see a new proposal everyday and all they do besides encouraging debate (which is good) is motivate bystanders to distort the issue and divide the group.
Totoro
Commendable effort. The ideas presented in the forum and your personal experience as well as some research by you were taken to the people who might have some say in this process. The outcome of it does not matter right now, atleast the process has started and we need to follow on it with some targeted activity. Lot of my fellow IV'ians gave suggestions and some presented stories too. I did come across this thread only today and I missed out on an opportunity to present my story but nevertheless others have done so, i am somewhat lucky that despite the pain and hardship I did get my GC a year and half ago but I feel the pain my friends go through every day and continue to associate with IV.
I have read through each and every post made in this thread and these are good responses. There are some very good proposals - some likely to benefit a small set of
people ( GC's for Master's from US universities) and others wide encompassing.
I think the fix for this needs to go beyond smaller subsets of people.
A single master stroke is not going to erase the backlog it will need a series of fixes and the best way to go about it is to push for 1 or 2 main goals which will eliminate most of the issues. IV's core efforts are in the right direction.
IV'ians need to be united in getting a broadly accepted solution to majority of people rather than a small minority. Clearly my allegiance lies with people with priority dates which are more than 5 years old, people who are stuck in backlog centers, name check's and unexplained delays for no fault of theirs. This is not to belittle other people who are in the line for their GC's everybody have to wait their turn.
Friends who are espousing the cause of faster GC's for US Masters, do not sit on the high pedestal and belittle the people who came in on 'work visas'. They have as much right as you to have that 'Green card'. The time is not to fight EB2 vs EB3 or by ethnicity. A big deluge starts with a small drop of water, let us begin somewhere and once we get a fix to the larger problem other things will fall in place.
oh for the people who are ready to bash me, please see my profile, been in this country since 1996 and earned 2 Masters and yet classified as EB3 by employer. Yes I joined IV late officially but I try to do my bit in whatever way I can.
- cheers

after the jobs ads and waiting period (30 + 30 days) how long does it take for the perm approval to come thru. Can anyone who got their labour in perm update the complete sequence of process from start to end?? I appreciate their time in advance.
After this waiting period, PERM was filed 9 days later KAPOON(approved)

Thanks a lot. I am a CA PR so I may go to CA to get my visa stamped for H4. Does my wife need to travel too although she does not need any visa stamping ? Can h4 be denied ? Just being curious. Also change of status should be filed within how many days of quitting the job ?
One other option you can pursue is to just go out of the country (Canada/Mexico) immediately after quiting your job and get H4 stamping and come back on H4....I would advise to talk to a lawyer regarding the first option.....Good luck with your MBA...

I don t give you red, but I am tired of your attitude. Guess what I have a masters degree, however in my field the jobs do not require one. Look again EB3 is not based on what peoaple have but what the job requires.
Granted even in my field they prefer to hire Masters and yes after 10 years I am a manager and a leader in my field, none of that helps me converting to Eb2 if the general impression is that Bach suffices for this as well.
Or maybe my lawyers are not as creative as yours. Either way stop trying to sound like you are so much better than EB3 people cus you are not. On the contrary I have yet to see you post something positive. Go back to bed and get some sleep maybe tomorrow you wont get up on the wrong side of bed, and finally have some more friendly attitude.
Employment based immigration was created to invite bright minds from the world and also fill the needs of companies who could not find good skills in USA citizens. It was not created to give green cards immediately to everyone who applied for one. The system works based on priority given to the top minds first who are in EB1. Then they give to EB2. There are other categories like asylum or family based created for their specific purpose.
If we are claiming to be best and the brightest having high skills and inventing then it is EB1 and EB2 mostly. By law EB3 is mostly for people who have Bachelor degree and hardly any experience in their field to claim as EB2. It does not matter you are masters from Harvard but by law, if your job requires just a bachelor degree then you are doing basic work at lower management. Legally EB3 have no case if they claim to be best and the brightest inventors. All doctors get EB2 or EB1. All managers with advanced degrees get EB2. All Scientists and PhD holders get EB1 and EB2. So EB3 is mostly people who are low skilled programmers, people in professions doing lower line work or people who despite having higher degrees are doing jobs that do not need advanced skills to be the brightest folks immigrating in USA. There are some exceptions of people who are screwed by their lawyers and employers by forcing them in EB3. These people should fight with their lawyers and employers or change their jobs to EB2. EB3 do not have a strong legal case to fight for EB3 if they claim to be best and the brightest. It is very humiliating but you like it or not EB3 is grouped with EB3 Other Workers that are waiters, janitors, construction workers, Farm workers etc.
You can give more reds. It does not matter. But if we need to fight the system, we need to understand the system and look at our strategy to fight it.

The number of cases approved during 2002-2005 was at least 2-3 times what was being approved now(when recapture was in force)... improving efficiency will not give us any more visas... if there are 100k waiting for a GC they will still keep waiting no matter how efficient USCIS is. The fact of the matter is that they can only approve 3k per category per country. recaptured visas are free of country and category caps. It will not cause divisions or issues and will help unite everyone behind one cause. Other short term issues dont help(multiyear EADs or APs and such)...they just prolong the pain and drain money every year. The queue can only be reduced, by time or attrition or more output... we can all agree which is better.
Firstly the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of un-used visa's is a clear indicator of poor USCIS efficiency. Even if the recapture visa effort bears fruit and people will get interim benefit it will do nothing to improve the efficiency of processing cases at USCIS which I think is the root cause of this problem. Yes there is also a supply and demand situation but unless USCIS improves the delays and backlogs may not stand a chance.

I did a year ago, gave my US address. They entered the US address in passport. So now you loose your indian address as a proof :)
Regarding H1-B, if your passport is stamped with Visa, I don't think notarized H1-B copy is required. Since the passport has a valid visa.
vrbest and Saro,
Thanks for the information. In online application, there is a column for address to be printed in passport. There is a column for other address. I am planning to give India permanent address in the first column. Hopefully they will put that into the passport. Passport is the only address proof for me in India.
My L1 visa is expired on October, 2008. My company moved me to H1 and i am yet to go for stamping on H1.

Conservatives block immigration conference (June 8, 2006)-
By Jonathan Allen
Senate conservatives have emerged as the chief obstacle to an immigration conference committee, but the bill�s backers insist they will be able to get around the hard-liners.
GOP leaders need the assent of the conservatives to circumvent a parliamentary hurdle arising from the bill�s inclusion of tax provisions, which, according to the Constitution, must originate in the House. Conservatives have yet to sign off.
�I�m not anxious to move it to conference,� Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), chairman of the conservative Republican Steering Committee, said yesterday. �The more we study the final product, the more convinced I am that it is seriously flawed.�
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said that he would think about being helpful to the leadership but that he�d �consider trying to block it, too.�
The Senate passed its version of immigration legislation last month. The bill would bolster border security, create a �path to citizenship� for illegal aliens currently in the country and establish a guest-worker program.
Many on the right would prefer a version more like the House bill, which focuses solely on strengthening border security.
A thicket of procedural snags has prevented the appointment of conference negotiators to this point.
If the Senate bill is sent to the House, it would be subject to a �blue slip� � a vote of the House to reject it because it violates the Constitution�s �origination� clause on tax matters. The easiest way around a blue slip is for the Senate to take up a House-passed tax bill, strip out the existing provisions, insert the immigration bill into its shell and pass it.
But Republican leaders have been unable to win unanimous consent to execute the maneuver, and such a complex series of moves would give opponents several filibuster opportunities. While cautiously covering their flanks, Republican and Democratic leaders are working to get the bill to conference.
The bill�s supporters say that if they can make significant progress on a deal they will be able to overcome their opposition.
�I think we�re making progress,� Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) said yesterday. �We�re not there yet.�
Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), a harsh critic of the Senate bill, said yesterday that he will not block efforts to move to conference.
�I want a bill,� Ensign said.
�You�ve got to have a conference,� said Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). �If it comes out close to this [Senate bill], we�ll do everything to kill it.�

There is an advantage to filing through CP when USCIS is slow to process applications. According to statistics this has been the case for last 10 years with USCIS.
CP approvals are pretty fast and when you apply they do not wait till the dates to become current, NVC process the application to the point where the only thing it needs is a visa number.
For example April 1st when an applicants PD is current NVC will request a visa number for the applicant and any derivative applicants around the 10th of April (this is stadard practice). Then typically in the next 60 days (May or June in this case) schedule the interview. You get the visa after successful interview.
If you filed AOS, USCIS is supposed to pull your case and start working on it when PD become current. From what we hear they do not do this properly, they do not follow establised guildlines (FIFO). CP has a distinct advantage in this regard. Only thing is you do not get to have EAD/AP.
