I don't intent to sound rude, but why would this make your life "Suck", "no social life" , "no carreer life", "no nothing life".
Iam in the same position as everybody else, and am deeply dissapointed with the news (hence Iam here), but I just spend 2 hours in a nice pub, drinking nice micro brews, came home had a nice talk with my wife (H4), we are planning on going out for dinner and maybe watch Knocked up afterwords (heard its nice).
If this were to be true, it would delay our GC by another 2-3 years, but we are in this country on our own free will, making good money. Be dissapointed, but this is not the end of the world..Mantain the perspective...
just curious...

I have a question regarding the I-693 Medical exam. it was mentioned that you will need to take a vaccine for MMR, Varicella, Tetanus and Hapatitis B. it was also mentioned that they will do a tb test and a blood test for HIV and syphilis. are these all the vaccinations and blood tests required or are there aother blood test required in addition to these??
please advise. Thanks
All you said is correct, except for you don't need Hepatitis B if you are over 16. No, there are no more tests involved, unless your tb is positive. If you tb is positive you need to do chestX-ray. I know that because I was just doing the tests for myself. Varicella must be taken twice 30 days apart. Same applies to MMR.
I hope this helps. If you go to a good doctor, he will give you a complete list of things that you need to do before coming on the medical exam.

My colleagues and friends are sending e-mails to Judiciary committee members. I am preparing draft for this mail. I am going to divide this mail into sections. One section describing what H.R. 5882 is (recapture, justice against discriminatory treatment based on country of birth, USCIS efficiency) and another sections would describe what it is not (not amnesty, not an increase in numbers). I want a link to the testimony given by USCIS director in congress confirming the wastage of green cards. Can someone quickly direct me to that link?

The moment I get sufficient number of people I am going all out.
But as a compromise, I have got a very simple and easy way out...I can tell you one thing, I do have a case which does not require any law change but just the interpretation of it.
Make sure that 5882 is successful. If it proceeds, I will back down. It is a shame that among 25K members raising 5K becomes a challenge.
This goes on to show there is no community. If there is not community then I have to look after my interest.
Stupid is as stupid does
How about going after EAD's, because of the 2007 july fiasco many people were fortunate enough to get an EAD, now they are competing with you in the job market....how about filing a law suit against that ? to cut the competion ....looks like you have plenty of time.

I received a phone call (WOW!) from a sweet lady from CIS Ombudsman's office. I sent letters to his office and in the letter I mentioned my cell #. Anyway she wants a real person who got deniel. I told her that my friend got deniel (IVens are my fried). Anyway, she sent an email too after I asked her to give her info so that my friend can send her his case details. Unfortunately, the email I received shortly after the conversation, looks like general and does not have her ID. Please PM me if you like to hear more about the phone call.

Hey guys
I was a mostly passive observer during the S 1932 battle, and really admire all of your perseverance. I think all of you did very well with the limited time and zero funds that you had. A little bit about myself: I am a physician from India currently doing medical research here. I am currently busy interviewing for the medical residency Match 2006 (for those of you who know or care) and therefore will not be able to spend as much time here as I would like. I myself am not a GC applicant yet but am extremely interested in the cause you guys are taking up and want to see this thing being worked through. I believe our demands are just and fair, and perfectly in line with the American tradition of fairness. Our demands are just waiting to be intelligently articulated and brought to wider public attention, and will resonate well with all lawmakers irrespective of ideology. We will have to be careful about distinguishing our requirements from competing and confusing interests like illegal aliens, security issues and even H1B visa seekers.
No American, from the most socially conservative Republican to the scared-about-job-loss Democrat will grudge a legal immigrant -who has played by all the rules all the time and pays all taxes- to reduce his immigration wait period from 7 years to 2 years! We have to play on this sense of American fairness (which exists btw to those who are skeptical) and spread the news about our legit demands (and indeed our existence) to the wider American audience. We have to carry this issue from the arena of policy debate to the personal - tell Americans how it feels like for spouses to waste their time and hope, to not be able to buy a home or plan any kind of life beyond the wait period for the green card. We have to tell them that we are not just potentially controversial legislation, but real people, with dreams, hopes, fears and sensitivities- just like them. After all, we are a significant number among their physicians and software engineers, scientists and nurses, professors and graduate students.
But we should present these facts well to our audience, and not let communication glitches convert a no-brainer into a close contest. We should not let bad English or an unprofessional approach towards lawmakers/ media feed into stereotypes of “cheap labor” class peddled by the anti-immigrant groups. We have to be savvy and creative about our PR. We have to collect funds and organize the enormous mass of people affected by this issue. Among other things, we have to be politically sensitive and not pass judgments on illegal aliens or protectionist Democrats or anti-immigrant groups in our dialogue amongst ourselves or with others.
I am aware all of this is tall order, but if we can manage this, I think America will give us what we ask for inside of 6 months. I will contribute as much as I can, as will be allowed by my current pressured situation ; ) Like many others here, I can put forth ideas and suggestions. I think I am politically aware and because I (used to) closely follow the general political media, I will probably be able to provide the American perspective on things, which again many others here regularly do.
Thanks for your time and may 2006 have the very best for us!

I am in the same situation, and I plan to include photocopy of my courtesy copy of my I-140 with other docs, as I am filing AOS by myself. If anyone else had the same issue, please share your exp.
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but courtesy copy is not sufficient to file I-485. Read your courtesy copy clearly. It categorically states that
"This courtesy copy may not be used in lieu of official notification to demonstrate the filing or processing action taken on this case."
I think it is crystal clear what INS means.
The big question is, what happens if you do file with the courtesy copy of your I-140 instead of the original one. My guess is, if you are lucky, INS may accept your 485 petition initially, and after a few months then may simply send you a RFE asking for the original copy of I-140. And, by that time you may be able to convince your company or company-lawyer to release to you the original copy. And if you are unluncky and the clerk at INS is sharp eyed, he/she may take this as a case of missing initial evidence and blow up your entire 485 application at the on set.
You can take your chances.

Clearly the USCIS and the DOS have absolutely no clue as to how to manage the visa regime.
On top of that these smart asses think they are answerable to none - since this is just a matter of 'to be' immigrants.
Now the class action suit proposed by AILF will surely shock them from their oblivion and bring them down to REAL world.
All said and done...anyway the gates will open in Oct 2007 !!! Guys and Gals...go enjoy your week end !!!

I am on H1/EAD and own a home. Lenders don't deny you a loan solely based on your visa status. Some think its too risky to own a home before getting a green card. I think this is a personal choice you make based on your comfort level. IMHO, we should keep the home ownership out of this. If we include things that are simply not true, it will only make our letter(s) less credible.
guys, these were just examble of personal blurbs. Please feel free to make it your own. However, I have heard of one case right now because of the subprime mess where the lender did not go ahead with the loan because of the risk. i am not saying there arent any banks out there where you wont get a loan, but some banks are switching gears and making really safe loans compared to their risk taking ability a few yrs back.

But i found this information in Rajiv's website.
The Mesg says:-
New Volunteer Organization Formed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some members of this portal and others have come together to form a new organization supporting legal mmigration with special focus on issues faced by employment-based applicants. Please visit:
www.immigrationvoice.org
DISCLAIMER: The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, PC cannot endorse or verify the activities of any organization. Please use your own judgment.
==================================
If we really not get his Endorsement, then we should remove that Information from our website.
Think about it
http://boards.immigrationportal.com/announcement.php?f=235&announcementid=84
The core-team of IV met with Mr.Khanna personally and spent several valuable hours with him. He does support our cause and appreciates the effort. The verbiage on our endorsement link is indeed from Mr.Khanna and was transmitted in the form of an email.
Everyone in the immigration community is now actively following the IV website (including the office of Mr.Khanna), and if something was completely mis-represented, they would let us know!
Nice try!

Will you guys stop this madness atleast now?. If US started bending rules for people who send flowers, then everyone will try to manipulate the system. There is a lot of difference between the circumstances of originla gandhigiri and now. :rolleyes: That was our country back then, for crying out loud.We are in a foriegn country and the issuance of visa a previlege not a right.Why cant you guys understand this simple fact?. Now stop making fools of yourself and get a life.
That USCIS director gave a good answer. Is your pain more than those citizens of this country who gave their limbs and life for US?. :eek:
BTW, i am one of the guys who couldn't file I-485 because of this fiasco. But i understand the reality.:)

If possible clarify the following from lawyer:
What are the negative affects of multiple I-485 on your adjustment of status? [Delay, Interview, RFE, Other ?]
Does filling two I-485 (AOS) is considered as willful violation or fraud?
Does filling two I-485 on two different I-140 (for different positions) could lead to revocation due to fraud?
