What is this reverse brain drain ? there is no such thing - folks who are here are going to hang on tooth & nail to stay here come hell or high water - the only ones who are going back are the ones who have no other option.
If one shows more loyalty than that shown by that entity, then one is a fool. That entity could be a country, party, company, spouse.
Right now, one entity (US government) is not showing much interest in our condition. That level of loyalty should be reciprocated but no more.

There was another LUD for all three of us (Self, Wife and daughter). Also received a CRIS email for wife with an RFE. I hope this RFE is about her incomplete vaccination at the time of filing. Will post the RFE details when I receive them from attorney.
I have not done anything like applying for EAD, AP etc.

Congrats Man, all the best for your future, I have yet to apply for GC (i am in my 4th year of H1 B, my company said they would take care of it, and they are painfully slow, i have now been here for 7+ yrs).
Immigration is personal choice in my opinion, i am sure it makes sense to say i am proud of my heritage/culture, but like everybody else i came here for a better life.
The wait for GC is very very frustrating, other the other hand it is absolutely unnecessary if the Immigration authorities just put a little effort and time into resolving it, I guess that is a underlying statement about skilled Immigrants, you have to go through a lot of frustration, pain, and anxiety to be worthy of a GC. I am beginning to wonder, if all the energy (positive and negative) i am spending here to get my GC could be spent more efficiently and in a calculated manner in India (:confused:)
I am from India, I hate corruption and bureaucracy prevalent out there, I came here for a life filled with fun and freedom(what i thought was a better life :(), i still would like to have GC, but the wait, the tension that i need to take out here, is pushing me back to thinking maybe coming here was not a good choice in the first place, my Family is in India, and a couple of my friends are still around in India , so hopefully, when i DO go back i can hang around them and have FUN.
As one of the members said, you cannot take India out of a man, why ?, because we have 5000+ yrs of glorious documented history, a wonderful ,colorful culture, and is the home of great people, that's why !, and that culture is entrenched in our psyche. The generation of kids born to indians here is US wont/cannot/ relate to that psyche, people like us export India, but for the next generation India ceases to exist, just my 1 cent.
Sorry if i bored you folks with rants and raves cheers !!!

This is how it works. If you file for your 485 now, the next thing that is expected from you is to wait for the receipt, that would take 3 to 4 weeks. Then you will get finger print notice, that might come in three months time. Once you are done with all this then check the processing date of the respective service centre where you have filed your 485 application.
Now coming to the question of unmarried filers, if the principal aplicant's date of marriage is beofe his or her 485 adjudication of adjustment of status, there are two ways principal applicant file for 485 for his or her spouse. The spouse can travel to US on H4 and file for 485 or the principal applicant can do consular processing. Now consular processing is good for those cases whosw w PD is current but since retrogression can kick in anytime it is better to travel to US on H4 and file for 485.
Another important aspect is if you file 485, EAD, Advance Parole and you use EAD, you loose your H1 status, hence on EAD you can not bring in your wife. So unmarried filersn it goes like thisn you go ahead and fileyour 485, then go to your home country brng in your wife on H4n as you have aleast s months of time if NSC, TSC or CSC 485 processing is not current and it is hown 1 month for receipt of 485, three months of time for getting the finger print notice and you can postpone by another month of FP by rescheduling it to another month. So literally you have 4 to 5 months to get married and by that time the dates will retrogress again. So dont worry, just go ahead file your 485 and start looking to get married. But try to bring in your spouse asap so that you can file for your spouses 485 also till the time PD is current. If you are not able to file for 485 for your spouse and you have filed for yourself and whenthe dates retrogresses again when your spouse comed to US you would not be able to use EAD as using EAD nullifies H1 and H4 status. So desi consulting companies will keep on sucking your blood as you cannot change job using EAD. If you need more info on this let me know I have gone through this and waited for almost three years to file for my spouse I resheduled my FP notice in 2004 to get married by the time my wife came retrogression kicked in and waited till June 2007 to file for my wife. My PD june 2002 still waiting
That explains almost every thing. Thanks so much

:confused: 02/07/2007: Details of DOL Backlog Cases Processing Statistics
(http://www.immigration-law.com)
Yesterday, we reported that the Backlog Elimination Centers had completed 67% of cases as of 01/27/2007. According to the "unconfirmed sources", the details appear to be as follows:
Total Number of Cases: over 300,000
Processing status by the Two Backlog Elimination Centers:
Total 100% Dallas (152,000+) Phily (169,000+)
Pending 33% 33% 36%
Completed 67% (1) Certified 33% 33%
" (2) Closed 21% 20%
" (3) Withdrawn 11% 08%
" (4) Denied 01% 02%
The good news is that there were very small number of denials. Bad news is a large number cases did not make it through becuase they were either withdrawn or closed. There are a very small fraction of cases which are not reflected in the table.

Hi Gurus,
I need an advice from you.
The situation:
-- Involved in a collision few months back. As I had rear ended the vehicle, as per the investigation, it was found it was my fault(80% mine - 20% others)
-- Now after more than 18 months, I get a law suit for 3.25 million dollars(. This was served against ppl who were involved. Right now my I have my EAD and AP and maintaining H1 status.
So what are my options now?
1. Check with attorney and start defending..?
2. pack the bags and go back to my country ? If so, will there be any issues in coming back again, say after 3,4 years?
3. What about my GC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I guess it would be a biggest decision of my life ..
Thx,
PD is Nov 2006.
What's your insurance coverage? It seems you had rental car. Have you taken the rental coverage at that time?
Send me PM and I can ask my friend, who was invloved in big accident like you. Insurance company will fight for the last penny and after that you have to pay, if it is not covered.

Here is what I have understood from my lawyers -
DOL decree, if adopted, will prevent any further labor substitution.
Any labor approved after the decree is adopted cannot be used for substitution.
Any 140 application based on labor sub will not be denied until USCIS adopts a similar resolution - it is unlikely that USCIS will do such a thing as it will lead to lawsuits from lawyers and folks already in the queue
People with already approved 140 do not need to worry at all.
I am laying down the facts here such that people can make educated decisions on what they want to do.

Just for the clarification of some of our friends (corrections are welcome) -
The current discussion is in the House Judiciary Committee. After this, the major steps for the bill will be to go through the House and Senate for discussions and voting.
There is still a long way to go, but sure this is an important milestone to pass the Judiciary Committee.
And it might not even be possible to get it to the House before the Pres elections. But the good thing is it will not have to go through the Judiciary commitee again.
Just wanted to state it for the benefit of the people who are not aware, as we are not building hopes that it will be all over today or in the next few days.

I think each person can write their own story and here are a few writing points as appropriate.
1) How long you have been here, and how despite your contributions in work and taxes, creativity(of jobs?) and maintainineg legal status, you have been left in a difficult spot of no permanency of status.
2) How you have benefited from this country and would like to give back, and understood that to be the tradition on which america was built.
3) If you have US born Children. That it would be unjust to ask them to be brought up elsewhere.
4) That your entrepreneural ideas have been held back by your inability to have permanency of tenure here.
5) That you never understood that to be the way it is done in America. However, a little voice keeps telling you to never quit on America, as she eventually gets it right.
6) That you have been unable to buy a home due to this issue and wonder why it is that you can't help yourself while helping America. That you have a stable job, 20% down, excellent credit and the whole nine yards except the green card. That there are thousands like you waiting to jump in.
7) How the US gov't bureaucracy has "wasted" over half a million green cards already allocated annually by congress, all happened while there were years long queues and merely recapturing those visas has been blocked by gridlock.
8) Mention Immigrationvoice in your e mail, and state that we have some great ideas on how to make the EB system more efficient and would love to be engaged in improving the system.

I am not sure if that is going to be an advantage since my PD was not current in JUNE
For all practical purposes, the date on which it was recieved is your RD=> Receipt Date. The postmark date has no relevance except for records unless USCIS explicitly states so ( which it did once in 2001 http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=89a5f3cee754ad0499e55e731191f 360).
485 filings are strictly Receipt date. I am still searching for the uscis link and will post one as soon as I find one.
