Anyone else having problem or I am the only one?
I worked with Fragomen for my GC and H-1B application. I didn't had any complaints/issues with them. They followed up with me (twice) for renewing EAD & AP, but I went ahead and did it on my own. One thing I've observed though with Fragomen is their administrative office makes a number of mistakes sometimes. Like for me, I got invoices in error a number of times which when I worked with my attorney were taken care of. Also, on their client portal I noticed my receipt numbers were erroneously entered, which when I reported to them were corrected. I guess that could happen in any law firm. Overall my experience was good!

What is your agenda? Didn't you join IV to get your (selfish) GC or for world peace :D
Now, what about offensive messages? How did you get the red dot next to your name :p
Thirdly you are using IV site for your agenda. Instead of supporting IV you are creating your own selfish agenda and not listening to IV. I have seen lot of offensive messages by you guys. You guys celebrated when all of us got screwed
I do not support your agenda.

This is not just "frostrated" but silly socialist thinking too. What has "joining hands" or "new comers with fake experiences" got to do with porting.
If you can port, then just DO IT and spare yourself the pain.... why wait for "en masse transfer to EB2 by porting" or talk about "ethical reasons" and then lament after the fact ???
:confused:
I hate to say this and I hope I am wrong. All of us EB3 folks need to start speaking up or else our fate is sealed. I do not see any hopes of CIR passing. There is always going to be some political backlash due to the AMNESTY factor.
From what I have seen, most employers are now filing only in EB2 category. They know that filing in EB3 will see their applicants backlogged so severly that there is no hope in seeing their applications approved. So, even those with less than 5 years of experience create resumes that show 5 years to qualify for EB2. Imagine the flood of applicants in EB2 that will pour in when the dates move forward beyond July 2007. There will be a new backlog of EB2 numbers that we have to wait behind. When are we going to get our turn?
With nearly 10 years of experience and a master's degree, I am still languishing behind all these new comers who come here with fake experiences to qualify for EB2.
We EB3 folks need to speak up, and have the spill over given to the oldest filed applications IRRESPECTIVE of category. The spillover rules from what I know were defined at a later stage and not as per the original law. If we cannot get CIR passed nor a piecemeal regulation, at least let us get the spillover changed.
Or, let us en masse transfer to EB2 by porting, thereby making us all eligible for GC ahead of those that are coming in through the back door. I see them as no different from the undocumented immigrants. Breaking the ethical law at the expense of those of us who followed the law. Our positions did not require a Master's degree and I dont see why a programming position today still requires such. I also dont see why our experience today should not count towards qualifying for EB2.
I dont care what or how many reds the EB2 folks give, but the fact of the matter is that we EB3 must join hands.

Hi Guyz,
First off, kudos to all the friends who attended the rally. I really appreciate the efforts and thank all of them.
I just thought of starting this thread for people who did not attend. Please explain in one or two sentences why you did not attend. Whether it was a personal reason, whether u were scared, didn't care, forgot, didn't know! etc.
My reason:
I really wanted a green card, but because India is growing so fast, I really don't think I want it so badly anymore. So, I did not have the motivation to go ...

MC,
With the porting thing happening crazily, It looks like your gc will be a dream for ever. Better you take ADMIN position in IV. Better you turn as approver.
my dear friend why are you fighting, you can simply put your point in nice way.

Even if they approve the GC, they can always revoke and ask you to return the card. This has happened somebody, I don't remmeber which forun I read about it. Call them up and inform them that your PD is not current. You can even go to local ASC and talk to an IO. If you have an attorney, inform him/her.

[QUOTE=eb3_nepa]That said, I would also like to second the statement quoted above and slightly expand it. Here in Texas, there is a statement usually made as one sits down to a table to play cards, "House rules." That means that, by sitting down at the table, you are implicitly agreeing to abide by the rules as established by that particular house. By obtaining a visa from the US government, you have _explicitly_ agreed to abide by the rules set by the US government. To claim that they are somehow "unfair" or "discriminatory", especially after you have agreed to them, implies, IMHO, that you had no intention of abiding by them when you accepted the visa.
During my career, I have investigated opportunities to work in a few other countries and have consistently found that they had significant barriers to a US citizen coming into the country to "take jobs from their citizens". While I might have enjoyed working, for instance, in the UK or Australia, I also accepted that their governments had the right to set their own "house rules". I guess, though, it may be too much to ask to expect similar consideration for the US government's right to set _its_ own "house rules," no matter how quirky they may seem to others.
We need to understand if we have illegals coming from different country and get a job, why not Legals on H4??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Hi Franklin,
Thanks much for your valuable feedback, and I agree to your points and suggestions.

You do realize I will hold you to your last point now though :)
To the people that did attend, I re-iterate, please don't judge people who post their honest opinion. We should take this opportunity to learn why people choose not to come so we can improve our strategy for next time.

You better stop stereo type answers. Don't understand why you post same answer for every question and waste others time (not your time) reading your shit.
Mr Shit expert,
Please dont read my shit... May be you are a Porter too. I post same answer for every thing because this is the main reason.
Thanks

I second you on that.But we must keep in mind,we know the law before coming here .Every immigration lawyer wants H4 law to be changed but, you know "USCIS".. they have handsfulll.
But even knowing what H4 entails is not so much helpful. Only when you experience it on your own, you realize what a bad move that was.
E.G. If I knew the time in H1/H4 is counted together I would not have accepted moving every 3-6 months with my husband on his projects. I would have done everything to get my H1 in my first year here and my husband would stay and change H1 sponsors every year if need be.
But no, it had to go other way.
Several imm lawyers misguided me in this H1/H4 time matte, until it was literally too late. Hiring time in my profession is tied to the beginning of the school year when all H1 visas are long long gone.
I was getting offers when I cannot get a visa and vice versa. Not a single school district wants to tend an offer 9-12 months in advance...
And - well, you all now how the story goes from there. We cannot buy a house, we cannot start our business, .....I guess we are just fed up with 'no - you can't do that' answer, every time we want to do something with our lives.
This 'on hold' situation lasts too long.
I am only staying here to further my professional education and benefit as much as I can, so that in the end the trade off is not going to be so bad..
......
7 years ago, when my hubby and I had enough of civil war in our home country, we were almost ready to send our papers under SW category and move to Canada.
As luck would have it, his H1 went through faster then we imagined, so we ended up in the US. I wish we had a foresight to go ahead with Canadian PR as soon as we came here. We would have been both much better off, already citizens, profesionally more satisfied and happy.

I don't think it bodes well for anything that is sent to the Table. This Senate Language Glossary has what "motion to table" means, essentially something that senate does not want to Consider. This Amendment(1249) is said to have been ordered "to lie on the table" not sure if it is same as the motion to table. But, I think we should hope for an amendment that does not have a table associated with its status.

Hello All:
It is great that the dates have become current and many of our friends here at IV can apply for 485. Congratualtions!!! to all that can apply.
I am in a dilemma and don�t know what to do:
My LC has been approved PR 02/10/05
My I-140 is pending.
I know I can file for 485 but my wife is on F1 � OPT and is working she has applied for a H1 and will get it because of Master�s quota but will not be effective till October, 2007. Can I file 485 now even though she is on F1?
I have two choices, either wait till October 2007 or cancel the H1 go to Mexico and get a H4 stamp for my wife and apply for 485. Please advise what I should do. Thanks!!!
