Guys, temper your expectations. Cust Service Rep at USCIS are not trained to answer the questions that pertain to things like visa bulletin's effective date and whether or not they will accept the ones or reject the ones on July 2.
Cust Service Rep is for general information for those who cant or wont use the USCIS website and other sources of information on the internet. Or for those who dont speak English.
Cust Service is not intended to provide complex answers. Last I heard, even the Vermont service center folks didnt know about bulletin revision and they were turning down 3-year extension requests for H1 visas thinking that the bulletin is current until confronted by lawyers who said that bulletin is unavailable and now there is reason to give out 3 year extensions instead of 1 year extensions.
If Vermont service center was unaware of visa bulletin revision, then what do you expect from a Cust Service Rep who is trained to answer questions that cover information that can be fit in 20 pages ??????

Hi guys,
I have just called the USCIS. They told me that the applications will not be rejected but just put on hold until our visa numbers will be avialiable ifor the nerw FY 2008.
In addition she told me that the Nebraska office is sending back the filing receipt to the applicants which it should not affect our h1-b visa status in case we are going to travel.
For the last part I do not believe her. Is there anyone else that can confirm that ?
Thank you.
Andrea

If you do some more research before writing you will realize that H1C are limited to 500 visas a year and the conditions for selecting the hospitals allowed to sponsor is so stringent only 14 hospitals or so in all US qualify. Here is some more info.
http://shusterman.com/h1cfaq.html
Also here is a list of 14 hospitals in all of US who qualify. There is not even 1 hospital that qualifies in majority of states.

Hi,
Many posts on this thread suggest that there is no H1B type visa for nurses and so they have to come on only greencard; and that is why Health lobby is trying hard to GRAB 90K unused visas (note: I consider this as a grab because from skill/CIR bills; we are trying to recapture unused visas and make them available to ALL EB immigrants rather than allocating them to one special group). But according to this news item on immigration-law there seems a non-immigrant visa H1C available for nurses. Is this true? am I misreading this?
==========news item follows==================
02/13/2007: DOL Announcement of Processing of H-1C Labor Attestations
The Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Reauthorization Act of 2005 took effect December 20, 2006. The Act reauthorized the H-1C nonimmigrant nurses program, a program originally created by the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999. Under this program, eligible hospitals file attestations with the Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification which, if approved, will support nonimmigrant worker petitions filed with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The Department of Health and Human Services has informed the Office of Foreign Labor Certification that the same hospitals eligible for the original program continue to be eligible. These were listed in the Department of Labor's Interim Final Rule implementing its portion of the H-1C program published on August 22, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 51138). The Employment and Training Administration, under the authority of the new public law, is reinstating the H-1C labor attestation program and is accepting applications by qualified hospitals. Eligible hospitals should be advised that the now-expired OFLC form (ETA 9081), Attestations by Facilities Temporarily Employing H-1C Nonimmigrant Aliens as Registered Nurses, has not been authorized by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for current use. However, the OFLC will accept applications using the expired form until a new form is approved by the OMB. The attestations are made enforceable by the 2005 Act. ETA is in the process of revising the form under the OMB clearance process, and taking other appropriate regulatory action. Once approved by OMB, employers will be required to use only the new form.

I would give some days to Attendees and particularly to IV core team to analyze the rally events, meetings in their entirty and come up with the conclusions mainly for 3 things. And I request everybody to funnel data to core team centrally and the same way conclusion and future action list funnelled to members.
- What we could REALLY achieve
- How loud we could be heard
- Any potential and positive impact in near future?
- Based on all of above making near future strategy
Note: One thing I want to bring everybody's attention that from November Elections will slowly be given priority by every media and so we may have to come up with careful strategy not having any conflict with election realted major events.
We look forward to guidance from Core!

London does not accept travellers with AP. So Virgin Guys had to turn me back from their counter. I was sure about Qatar having no issues about AP so I went back to Continental and said I need you guys to put me on Qatar and thats what they did.
my opinion:
AI : I love my india , but will not fly AI , because I dont want to take chances with once a year vacation I get.
BA : They are prompt service folks , but I cant tolerate their attitude.
Luftansa: Again good, but cant take the attitude.
cathay/singapore/korean/Arab emirates: Nice , can bet my time and money for my travel on them
Others : I dont really care.

I've been having sleepless nights ever since a cut off date of May 15th got in the fray.
Here's my case -
I140 sent to USCIS on June 06th (They should have received it on June 07th)
I have not reveived a receipt date yet.
What would the receipt date for my application be -
June 7th when USCIS receives the application
or
Some later date when my application goes into the system
Now assuming that a new cut off date of June 19th is established, would my I140 be treated as pending on June 19th? Or only those applications will be treated as pending that have a receipt date prior to June 19th.
Gurus please enlighten and help me sleep.
Tell me about it. My I 140 was couriered on May 21st (reached on May 22nd) after I submitted everything on Mar 16th to my lawyer. It was very painful to read that bill text and figure out that all the time spent waiting on labor cert for the past 3 years has gone to /dev/null. Have you filed under PP or regular processing? I have done mine under PP and its approved now. All notice of actions will have two dates
1) Receipt date
2) Receipt notice date
Its difficult to predict which one will they pick. We are better off with the first one. My H1 which was received on Jan 4th 07 had a receipt notice date of Jan 10th 07 under normal processing. Give heads up to your lawyer to support your case if the bill is enacted into law. They can possibly argue on the basis of the Fedex/DHL receipt or receipt date itself, as your receipt notice date happens to be after Jun 19th 07. I hope that this bill dies again in the senate and the house forces the senate to break CIR into small pieces. Teddy in senate will be playing spoil sport, if at all that happens.

Hi Totoro,
please be so kind and explain me what exactly shall I say to the SSN Office about why I apply for SSN non-work. If they ask me to proof that I need a SSN to get Economic Stimulus Payment, what shell I do??
How is posible to get a SSN non-work to get Economic Stimulus Payment if you didn't work. How can you make tax return without to work. ?? Sorry for all this question but I really don't understand. But i'm shure that you will be very nice and you will explain me how it's work.
Thank you,
lelica
As long as you qualify for the stimulus payment, you can get a non-work SSN. You qualify as long as you are in the income levels specified, were a resident of the US in 2007 (substantial presence), and were in the US legally (have a valid visa). If you did not file a tax return, then you cannot apply for the SSN.
As far as the Social Security Act is concerned, the law states that they MUST give you a SSN if you qualify for any federally funded benefit. The question is: Is the Economic Stimulus Payment a federal funded benefit. The information in my original post makes a very strong case that it is.
Please post your experiences here, even if you are denied. Remember, the folks in the local SSA offices are bureaucrats, not lawyers, or judges, so don't expect much cooperation. However, if they deny you application, simply write them a short letter saying that you disagree and that you are requesting a "reconsideration."

Couple of more questions regarding the dependant AP renewal:
1) Is it necessary to send the previous AP copy. The instructions of I-131 do not mention anything of sending previous copies. Dependent's AP is expired.
2) And as my spouse is maintaining her own H1 and has renewed it last year, do we need to send a copy of recent I-797 also along with the supporting docs. I have written "H1/Pending AOS" in 'Class of Admission' question. So I am assuming I need to send a copy recent H1 also since in the instructions they ask for any current USCIS doc showing status.
Thanks in advance

To pbojja, your post shows how you may have completely misconstrued my post. I haven't written the post out of frustration of not being EB-1/2 at all. And am I dreaming when I hear you say that good English speaking skills aren't important in the U.S? Maybe I am in another world. I said clearly that the 'fraud' desi firms and their employees have tarnished India's image. They should be removed from the system and we should be in line with 'genuine' cases. What's wrong with that? Where's the unfairness here?
To snathan, I understand your post but I believe the tone should be more friendly and amiable. And I certainly didn't give you any red dots so peace on that front. I don't believe in petty playground politics. Actually I appreciate you reminding people about contributions since they are needed a lot for our efforts.
Also, I can see my profile turned red since people haven't understood the essence of my posts. Very sad situation indeed.
StuckinMuck,
Dont get into other things when high priority issues are to be focussed. Focus on removing country quotas, release the numbers lost, get GCs for 5-10 year waiting folks, get citizenships for anyonne more than 10 years legally in US, project yourself with good things. There can be 100s of bugs in the system, but this is not the time to cleanup.
Focus of projecting good things about us, which are PLENTY.

This will be in addition to the $200 I just pledged to help (airfare, hotel) members travelling to DC, and the recurring contribution that I'm signed up for since 2006.
I am not wealthy, I don't have a ton of disposable cash lying around. I just want my green card, and I want it now. Actually no, I wanted it yesterday.
If a few thousand dollars in advocacy contributions help me get my green card faster, and helps other qualified, deserving candidates in the years to come, I'll gladly invest in that karma.
Everyone, please do this, and help your own selves.

Legal,
Sorry, you probably did not put it that way, but it comes out as, we suffered yesterday, so you guys should suffer today. If that is the case, then solving the immigration issue should be the last on our minds, since we have suffered this long, maybe all the future applicants should suffer just as much.
But I am sure you did not mean it that way.
No. I didn't.
For whatever its worth Compete America has sent another letter supporting the Llofgren bills yesterday. To my knowledge this is the first time they are openly supporting an EM immig relief without asking to increase H1 B numbers.

Well, If you sign up for IV credit card, the contributor is not paying from his pocket. It's the bank, who is paying for him, and contributor will keep earning miles/reward point as with any other credit card so it should make ZERO difference for card holder.
Its like finding a advertising sponsor for any of the IV event,except this is one time effort.
the earning could be huge. lets do simple math.
Average CC monthly bill = $1000 , 2% of $1000= $20.
20 * 20k = 40K monthly contribution.
Now think how hard is it to raise 40K monthly using our regular fund raising ?
Basic problem with fund raising is, once person gets his EAD/GC , he stops visiting IV website, I am sure he/she still supports the cause by heart but it just happens that he does not visit this site and does not notice our fund raising drive ( and as a result, we call them selfish :p) .
But if he is carrying IV credit card , its very easy for him to pick up that CC and swipe every time he makes purchase and support the cause.
Hope you get an idea :).
