Hi ind_game, attorney and all readers,
After reading ind_game last quote "God save AC21.....". I have following questions:
1. Do you know any one (your friend, client) used AC21 and faced same problem? Es
2. Is it true that AC-21 info don't get updated in the USCIS records?
3. If yes (2 question), then x-employer I-140 revocation will ALWAYS result in THIS kind of problems (as ind-game is facing)?
4. To attorneys only: Is AC-21 really helpful or misleading? Asking because if it don't update in USCIS records.
Please reply.
thanks,
waitingmygc
waitingmygc,
I am really sorry if my message has festered you. That was not my intention. After three months of slog and surge in frustration, I was not ready for another 2 months.
1.
I have found some case studies and I am still in touch with them...........but everybody got thru this with a good ending........I have a series of case studies in another website's forum who have faced similar issue (of course, not 2 MTRs but just 1 MTR)...........I do not think it would be wise to post them here.........
2&3.
This is not in every case. One of the members contacted me today and said he got NOID for not submitting AC21, which is according to the guidance. One of my other friend did not submit any AC 21 and he got laid off from the changed company and he did not get any notification from USCIS. He is just moving ahead without filing any AC21.
One of my other friend changed jobs twice using AC 21 and he got NOIDs both times. NOID is common and according to the guidance in the memo (Yates memo). Trust me, I have contacted so many people in the past three months, I have enough case studies in my laptop now.

Villamonte,
Thanks for ur support and understanding. I think we better let these guys take a shot at what they are about to do. Immature and narrow minded is what they are and thats how they wanna be. Looks like they've been watching those Indian vigilante movies a lot and they think that they can get away with fighting a foreign Govt agency. They'll understand what we meant when they receive a cold shoulder from USCIS :D.
Peace out!
D-E-D
No worries mate. Just trying to help clear things but I get rebutted all the time and I'm sure they are misinterpreting me.
I have nothing against them and as part of IV, I am just voicing an opinion which they could reject politely.
Some of the comments on my comments are really harsh as if I am personally attacking them.
You are right, it will be tough to dig into an agency that does approve your status here.
They can do whatever they want and good luck to them.
BTW, I used to have several red dots before and I don't know why they changed it to green. They still have a block on one of my IP address.

respecting policies and law is one thing.
lack of a good implementation plan and improvement over a number of years is another thing.
We can't just poke around an established government agency because we feel they are not doing their job properly.
What do you (You refers to people who think above, not one in particular) say about the people who filed lawsuit and got the 180 day Name check rule to implementation faster? Not that I am proposing lawsuits, just an example to disprove what you said.
I am trying to figure out what you guys are trying to say. If you guys think that CIS will give you the GC on the day they will feel like and you are cool with it, Why even hopping around boards either for information or anything. Just follow the processing times and see whether number has been called or not. 99% of the crowd thinks here that we can get a better policy by making our voice heard. I dont see rational and logic between what you are saying and what you are doing, unless you are smartly drawing a wedge or trying to scare away people saying that you are not a citizen, you will get busted.
You are entitlted to your opinion and you are free to do and think what you want.. Remember, we are in America.
I can understard D-E-D's frustration.
I don't think there's much to say. That's what we say in Australia when things just keep on going around and around and around.

If its 2001 or 2003 ... ppl like me who r in EB 3 (with PD March 2007) will not get GC for next 4-5 yrs until and unless they spill Eb 1 cases evenly to Eb2 and Eb3...which is next to impossible :eek:
dost,
who told u, that the PD progresses linearly with time ,
I am also 2007 PD , and if there is no change i am sure we are not gonna see a GC in 10-20 years.

all what i did is the following :
A-filed the application and paid it on line. I called the cgnfs to check on the required documents.
B- part of the cgnfs application is need to be sent the the Nusring Board of education in the state you are licensed in. Call the nursing board of education in your state, usually there is a fee for varification of licneses.
Ask them if you can include an express paid envelop so there wont be any delays. Explain to the nursing board that you need it fast so they finish it fast.
C-Your transcripits has to be sent from your college.(do not send it yourself). I went to my college, ordered my transcripit and went to the nursing office and had them express mail it the same day.
I believe you need your high school diploma as well. Call the cfnfs and them for they exactly wants from you.
You do not need Toefl if you are educated in the US.
My experience with them is that they are fast if you are US educated because they do not really have to evaluate your education.
good luck
Wow - that sounds so easy. I called CGFNS my US school is the one holding it up. I'm going to sit up on everything.
Thank you so very much

Also wanted to point out that the "dual intent" provision of the H1-B will be removed by this new CIR bill which will make matters worse for the people with I-485 pending as those applications can be rejected based on that.:(
More bad news for the legals
This is not true. I-485 will never be rejected based on that. However, you might need to show you have strong ties with your home country if you ask for an H1-B at the consulate abroad.

addsf345, did you get the answers? if yes, please share. Thanks much.:)
Well, find them below.
1. Will this immediately cancel my EAD? if so, I may have to resign.
EAD most likely doesn't get cancelled immediately. Find a post by 'lazycis' on this thread. Even if it gets, which is rare, one can still continue working on EAD. I know this sounds not right, but again search this thread. This is confirmed by few replies and ref links are provided to RG's website.
2. If I continue working while filling for MTR, will it be illegal?
again... look for links to RG's website for this. As per RG, this is considered as something 'beyong applicant's control' i.e. an applicant has nothing illegal, but CIS committed an error, so an applicant can not be punished for CIS error. My personal opinion is, it is always much safer if you have a good experienced immigration attorney on your side.
3. How much it costs to go thru' MTR process? How long it takes?
Most likely 60 - 90 days. Costs can vary, but it is not really really high.
again, like most ppl say in their signature, I am not a lawyer. So take professional advice first.

Good job pcs !!
I'll take my family to the congressman's office and the documents that you suggested. We can not sit quiet now!
I met the local office of my Congressman with the following documents to make it easy & simple..
A copy of the Congresswoman Lofgren's letter written to USCIS etc ( download it from IV homepage )
A copy of Today ( July 5th ) Wall Street Journal . This issue has story about this fiasco.
Downloaded news flash from Murthy.com regarding Visa bulletins of 13th June & the screwup bulletin on 2nd July
Above was good enough to convince them regarding the mess & they promised action on their part..
IMPORTANT... I clarified that IT IS A PROCEDURAL ISSUE WITH USCIS
NOT AN IMMIGRATION ISSUE WHERE CONGRESS HAS TO TAKE ACTION
This really made them very comfortable as she said, we keep writing to concerned offices about procedural matters.
I told them that they should ask USCIS to " RECEIVE" aour applications to minimize our finanacial loss and other headache of refiling at a later date
Please note, it is real easy to meet the Congressman as they have local offices may be one mile away from your office or home.
Small towns like mine are great for this effort as compared to big towns. I encourage all of you particularly living in small towns to make this small move, which I am sure can resolve our issue & we will save all the $$$ in refiling & avoid further agony
Since your butt is on fire like mine.... I do not think I need to convince you to act on this
Best wishes

How does that work? There is no law or process to connect an abandoned labor. I had approved labor with a PD of 1999 that got lost when I switched companies. But no one seems to be connecting that to me.
Its not a rumor. This is real. Coming to think abt it, he had filed a labor in 2000/2001 time period and had abandoned it when he switched companies. I am wondering if USCIS takes the oldest one an applicant had ever filed.

thx everyone for your help and suppport!!
This is aboslutly not possible; he/she is trying to fool every one. Before retrogression, the last date to file a 485 for a EB3-Indian with PD 08/2004 was 12/31/2004. From Jan 2005 till July 2007 EB3 Inida was retrogressed for his PD. So he/she could not apply 485 in Feb 2005. The other optins could be he/she may be in EB2 catagory or a Schulde A nurse.
I was in similar time frame; So I know the date well....

My lawyer received it on Dec 16th - they said that they need at least 2 weeks to answer the RFE. They also mentioned that the RFE doesn''t ask for any specific paperwork , its like a Question-Answer Form.
a) Why do you need this guy
b) Can you find an american instead of this guy
c) How you benchmark performance in the company
etc...
Is this not the reason they (U.S government) have a process to issue certificate from labor department to prove that the company could not hire an American for which some of us had to wait 5 years!!! Talk about abuse of power by USCIS.....

I know this is not the Forum to discuss this matter.
But I hope this should answer some questions
1. Home Loans if the Loan is taken from a US Bank/Mortgage lender
then it is Tax deductible because they send out a 1040 at the end of Tax year.
2. But if the Home Loan is taken from a a NON-US Bank, then it is not Tax deductible in the US. As they do not send out a 1040.
I am not sure thats correct.
Per IRS regulation Section 163 (C), as well as Publication 936, interest paid on primary and secondary residences up to an aggregate one million dollars in loan amount is tax deductible. The IRS regulation does not specify that the home must be located in the United States, and thus it seems logical that interest paid on a home loan on property in India is in fact deductible
(please consult your tax advisor for applicability to your specific tax situation).
