Dear Mr. ___________
Thank you for contacting me to express your support for H.R. 5882 and H.R. 5921. I appreciate your taking the time to write and welcome the opportunity to respond.
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) has introduced H.R.5882 to improve the reliability of the system in which employment-based and family-based visas are issued to foreign nationals. As you may know, many of these category-based immigrant visas have not been issued over the past few years due to backlogs and processing delays at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. H.R. 5882 would help prevent such losses by making available an estimated 218,000 employment-based and family-based green cards that have been unused in past years.
In addition, Congresswoman Lofgren has introduced H.R. 5921, the "High Skilled Per Country Level Elimination Act," to remove the per country limit on employment-based immigrants. You may be aware that U.S. immigration laws limit every country to 7 percent of the worldwide level of U.S. immigrant admissions. This per-country level is established by the U.S. State Department to act as a "barrier against monopolization" and to provide fair opportunities for all skilled and professional workers from around the world. H.R. 5921 would remove per-country limits and would no longer allow unused family- or employment-based visas to be used interchangeably.
Please know that both H.R. 5882 and H.R. 5921 are under review by the House Committee on the Judiciary. However, no companion bills have been introduced in the United States Senate. I think it is important to recognize that our immigration policies must make national security a central priority while at the same time helping to facilitate family reunification and labor demands here in the United States. I will continue to pressure Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to ensure that any policy to expedite visas does not compromise our standards for accepting individuals into the United States, nor the integrity of our immigration system. Be assured that I have taken note of your support for these bills, and I will keep your thoughts in mind should related legislation come before me in the United States Senate.
Once again, thank you for your letter. If you have any additional questions or comments, please call my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours, Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator

:confused:I am in same situtation. I want to reenter on AP and continue on H1-B. Can I do that? My company says its their policy that once I use AP to enter I will have to switch from H1-B to EAD. I dont want to do that. Can I still continue on H1-B?

Core members,
I think flowers comaign is a good idea. But I wanted to know why don't we send letters and emails to Mr.Aytes and USCIS Director and probably HEads of DOS to issue the 182,000 unused visas since 2000 now so USCIS can work on those visas from July to October.
NYTimes article mentioned that DOS officials did not want this years number wasted like the 182,000 visas got unused since 2000.
Can someone come up with a writing so we can all send emails and postals mails with this request.

'ideas to increase publicity' but only few members took active interest and participated.
Now that we have you, i am sure you would help in this effort by sending out emails yourself and also other members can join you to contact media. I wish we can all send multiple emails to every newspaper, every tv station and radio station in this country and apprise them of our cause. such letters urging news orgs to cover our issue will help us get much needed media attention and then something will DEFNITELY happen in the coming months.

You should get your EAD within 3 months of your application provided your I485 is already applied or applied along with EAD; EAD is independent of your I-140 approval.
This is wrong. EAD can be issued when both of the following conditions MUST meet:
I140 has been approved
I485 application is 180 days old

I know 2 friends who filed in July 07 and got their FP notice last month. The explaination they got was their applications were struck in name check and once that was over they issued FP notice. This was news to me.
what ? that is surprising ...does that mean if you get FP notice then your name check is over ?? I don't think so ..
I guess no need to think too much as it becomes a mental torture for retrogressed countries and categories ... if GC has to come it will come.
one of my friend was saying that a lady from kenya got her GC in 9 months ..since everything was current current for her @#$#R$#R

Recently I returned after a one month trip to India. At DC airport the CBP secondary inspection officer grilled us rough. First he called my wife and asked why did we leave US. She told that since my parents are old and not in good health we visited them. Then he started asking for documents proving it. And told us that without documents he won't let us enter. He went on to say that AP is only on humanitarian basis and unless CBP officer is satisfied with proof they cannot allow AP holder to enter. Finally after convincing him for another 30 min he let us in.
This was a really shocking experience. Are employment based GC's AP supposed to be treated like humanitarian AP? or was the CBP officer over reacting? Gurus please throw some light.
I have used AP at least 4 times this year while coming back from Europe,India.I came through New York(JFK),Newark(EWR). Only once I was asked a question about whether I have EAD. The officer didn't even see it,otherwise the only exchage with any other officer was 'Here are your documents.Have a nice day'.
I think you might have been a one off case where the officer didnt know what he was doing.

Even if its multiplied by 100 we should be ok, if the USCIS does a good of not waisting visas by doing their best in the month of Sep. Say we have 6500 * 2 .25 (Family) = 15000people waiting from EB2 2004. Looking at the spillover numbers from last year, we might be lucky enough. Just trying to be optimistic for the next 35 days.
We received our 2nd biometric appointment notice for Sep 11th. Our Notice date is Sep 19th 2007. Just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for something good. :)
=================================================
Quick set of related questions. Pardon my ignorance. Is this second biometric appointment a "must have"? how does it work? Myself and my husband have got had our first Fingerprint appointment long back. how does that part of the system work? When will the second one be due?

These are not going to fix the issue at large about limited GC numbers.
We need to make sure bills like HR5882 get passed. So we need to focus on how to make this a central issue in current politics.
We need to do much bigger than a single day news ... something for which main stream media pays attention in +ve light.
I second this. It will take 1 more year for USCIS just to come out of 2001 for EB3 I unless 5882 passes!

There is nothing to discuss on this. Just take the cash to any national bank SBI or ICICI or UTI and ask them i want to wire trasfer to US bank account. They ask you to fill up wire trasnfer form by giving US bank accout and routing numbers. They just do it by taking some fee for wire transfer. Thats it. You will get into your US bank account in a day. Thats for sure. I did this number of times. I don't know, you guys make it complex everything, by saying NRE/NRO/RBI etc. It just damn simple, do wire transfer.
Rupee is not yet fully convertible! So if its a big amount (dont remember the upper limit) you cannot wire... The only way you can do get it is for education or medical reasons. Lookig at the way the dollar is tanking I wouldnt be surprised if the rupee becomes fully convertible sooner that initially planned!

First of all learn to "conduct" yourself in public before working for the semi conductor industry. What is gulti mentality pls explain? Second of all you chose to come here with the constraints that were imposed on you, did you have the balls to question the immigration officer as to why your wife could not work? If you think this is hell my friend you are in for a rude surprise.
When you want answers for your question there is a method for asking it, pls follow that method and you will get your answers, there are more people willing to help here than you will find anywhere. Ranting about communities will get you no where, now apologize and ask your question, someone will answer.
Malibuguy007 , you seem to me a guy who could save 2-3000 dollars per month and think you are in heaven(Typical GULTI mentality) . These are the points on basis of which i called life of H1 hell
1. Your spouse can't work . Think about their self esteem and self respect they are loosing.
2. You don't know about your future if tomorrow you loose your job , you will be kicked from this country.
Tell me what is hell then ? Don't think its just about counting dollars , think about your life stability and about your family members too. Try to come out of Sambhar-Rice world(thats the way you save money here and call US heaven). Live with pride ,ok . Fight for being treated like H1 ( HIGHLY SKILLED PROFESSIONAL) not slaves.
I hope now you feel we are in hell.
PS : I work with one of best semiconductor companies in world and earn decent salary .
All GULTIs , start giving me red and i don't give a** for that.

Send email to who ? Can you pls describe in detail what email they need to send and what reason they need to put in. My local office always says NSC is processing July cases so you should have it soon, but that "soon" has never happened. It is 160+ days since I applied.

The form firearm buyers fill out is a federal form that should be standard across all states. Perhaps your recollection is from before Feb 2002 when nonimmigrants' firearm ownership was not restricted.
A correction for my earlier post - the pamphlet is from ATF, not ICE. http://www.nafr.org/PDF/p5300_18.pdf
Regarding FBI Background checks for firearm transactions, they are required by law to give a decision in 7 days, or the transaction is automatically approved. There is a very efficient appeals process for wrongful denials that takes only a couple of weeks. There is also a toll-free hotline to call FBI and talk to an officer.
Wish they had all these features and the 7-day timeframe for immigration background checks....
Good info. From the pamphlet it is clear that if you have resided in the State where you are buying the handgun for 90 days and intend to make a home in that State AND are in possession of a valid hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the US the you are eligible to purchse a firearm from an FFL to possess in the US.
I checked the GA Department of Wildlife website and you can get a license online for hunting in a matter of few minutes by paying a small fee unless you intend to hunt Deer for which you need to undergo hunting course.

If you have plans to travel...could you go to the local INS office and get the AP??.AP is very important too if you are traveling.
For most cases, this is NOT an issue as they are on H1/L1/H4/L2 status while filing for I-485. They can simply travel on H1/H4/L1/L2 visa.
Not a legal advice.
