A question to the people who used AC21 and on EAD:
I am on EAD and changed job (six months after the I-485 is submitted). The new employer - a well know tech company - insisted on sending the AC21 letter to USCIS, and I sent it. After sending the letters there were LUD's on I485 applications for me and wife and I assumed the letter reached the files. There was no activity after wards. Recently my wife went out of country and while coming back she went thru the AP parol process. The immigration officer asked her a few questions, one of them is where I am working. She mentioned my current company which made the officer to have a question mark on his face (the file he is looking at has my previous employer name). We were expecting this to happen and my wife quickly explained to him that my application was sponsored by so-and-so company (my previous employer) but later I changed jobs as per AC21. She even had a copy of AC21 rules with her. There was no problem but she was kept in waiting for another 30+ minutes until the immigration officer talked to 2 other officers. She got the impression that most of immigration people there are not really aware of AC21 and this made us think this could be a potential issue for those who used AC21.
Did anyone had any issues like this. We were lucky not having too much of a hassle but was thinking on how to handle these port of entry interviews if someone used AC21.
Thanks to IV for taking this up.

So the question still remains. Which is better school for MS with a little lesser load on the pocket.
I wonder why every dicussion has to take a E2 vs E3, regional discrimination and other such things. Can't we have a proper engaging, fruitful discussion on any topic. Learn to respect and appreciate others. In God's scheme of things nobody is greater or smaller.
Good luck.

Your motivation is very simple, lets say there are 10 people in line with one service counter, the service counter processes only 10 apps at a time, but if you are an Indian in line your time taken to process is longer. Now what are the solutions? We can speed the Indians in line by opening up new counters to service them, for that we need more money (aka contributions). Now 2 people are processed in parallel . So new people can enter the line (in the past they could not until the dates got current). I hope you get the message very akin to what you would do in the semi conductor industry. I am guessing your dates are not current and hence you are unable to apply, now more people in line getting processed means dates move and you will be current, then apply get an EAD now your wife can work. Then the US starts to become like heaven.

Recently I met one friend. He was visiting his friend for vacation in New Orelans. When he was washing his hands in the rest room (in a shopping complex or Mall), suddenly he saw 3 or 4 guys surrounding him, hit him and took away his vallet and cell phone. Within a short time his credit card was used for a huge money around $2000. He was hit so bad that his nose bones broke into pieces and he has metal installed now for him to breath properly. I am not sure if this is due to bad economy or enemity over immigrants.
New Orleans was already in a bad shape due to Hurricane Katrina. Crime there is very high after what it went through. Anyway all these attacks have more to do with robbery ( or altercations ) rather than legal immigration attacks. The attackers don't care while attacking you whether you are here legally or illegally.
Sanju said the exact right thing. No need to be paranoid.

You have to remember that Schedule A is a one time 50K cap. DOS mentioned that the category will be eliminated from VB soon. They expect to hit the 50K cap by the end of this month and thats why they will not accept any more new applications from then. So who ever were able to sneak in under that category, will get their GC. There will not be a Schedule A category unless congress approves again.

A recent post asking about how many people have EB2-India PDs of 2003 or earlier had no responses, so I am curious about the potential spread of waiting people (atleast in the sample set of whoever responds to this poll).
RESPOND ONLY IF YOU ARE EB2 INDIA, HAVE FILED 485, AND ARE WAITING FOR APPROVAL.
(we can do separate polls for EB3-I, china, ROW etc)
Yep, looks like prior to oct 2003 all got approved in EB2. Good sign. This poll would give us pending cases for 2004 now.
Please make an entry here. Will help us better predict ( the prediction of USCIS )

last time i posted this idea everyone ridiculed.
Well we desis can only follow the lead of firingis.. so firingis say that who the f*** asked you to come here in the first place and we understand their logic and tell ourselves who the f*** asked us to be here in the first place .. so we are to blame ourselves for everything and take the crap anyway..
But that is not the point.
The point is that me and my company and you and your organisation have paid a service fee with a reasonable expectation of service. reasonable expectation of service is subject to interpretetion based on common sense and no f**king common sense says that waiting 10 years for GC is reasonable .. unless your common sense has been replaced by self disrepecting logic ....
i am not a lawyer but i think that when you pay a processing fees to apply for a privilege (drivers license, business permit, visa, green card etc) from the appropriate statutory authority (DMV, USCIS, Dept of Commerce etc) - the payment of fees does not make you the customer of the statutory authority - so to the extent that USCIS has not broken a law to discriminate against a particular set of applicants (class) - a class action may indeed have no merit.
However, if it can be proved that there has indeed been gross negligence or that USCIS has not followed its own established procedures, made commitments but not honored those, lied or broken the law of the land - then there may be a case.......
another angle is that if the law itself violates the constitution - there is a separate procedure to appeal against such a law (like may suits going on in state courts on laws related to gay rights) - however USCIS would not be party to such a lawsuit since USCIS does not make laws. one would need not only a good immigration lawyer but also a constitutional expert for a venture like this.

I never had any RFE, but my case has been bounced around for no reason. From TSC->CSC->TSC and I am told that it is not even pre-adjudicated not even assigned to any officer as yet. I have yet to see any more illogical organization other than USCIS. :mad:

Hi desi3933,
My wife got approval notice from 10/01/2006. Her employer is willing to give paystubs from March 2007. Will this put her back in status so that she can file I-485?
We are planning to resign after she file I-485 at July end and apply for COS with 2 paystubs. Will this cause a problem or is it legal?
Could you please advice?
Thanks
Person can start working after applying for the SSN.
http://www.immigration.com/faq/eadfaq.html#63
>> People who switched from F2/H4 to H1 can consider their SSN application time as valid status.
No, After change of status (to H1-B) approval, person has 30 days (from approval date) to start working.
Not a legal advice

I don't think you're following it too closely.. every year it creeps up a few early 2005 months, becomes unavailable the last quarter then in October jumps back to late 2003
completely unexplainable monkey business !!
If that is the case, I stand corrected. This whole country quota is unfair, that was my only point.

i was thinking...
500000 legal immigrants, even if u assume 4 per family , ONLY 125000 houses can be sold...(even if 50% qualify for a loan.. thats just 62500 houses sold.. last i read..there were millions of homes for sale)
if the average cost of the house is 250000, thats additional 31.25 Billion $ in credit borrowing... where is the money?

Do you mean 30 credits with 3 year degree from India to complete MS?
$15K for 30 credits means $500 for 1 credit?
I did online MS degree and it took 3 years, although I could have completed it in 2.5 years. First year I completed only 1 course per sem, then I started doing 2 per sem. I took non-thesis option and the total cost was aprx 15K from ISU. Thye charge flat rate fee per subject ( aprx 3 credits) irrespective of residency requirements (you can actually do this course from anywhere in the world and it would cost the same) . This degree requires 30 total credits (one of them must be a project, so technically only 9 subjects/courses to take).
