Guys,
My lawyer applied for my visa an 23rd Apr under the masters cap. I haven't received The receipt yet. I am wondering if there is anyone on the similar lines. Please reply or is it only me with one such case. I know USCIS has said that they need till 2nd June to resolve the situation. My case is with the vermont center.
I also have my OPT case pending there. It was filed in the first week of May. I have been told that it takes around 90 days for it but sometimes it also takes place early. Please advise.
Thanks
Sabhay

PlainSpeak

Now you are telling the real reason :)
2 yrs wait?? Its been 4 yrs and yet to file 485
Fortunately you are one among the minorities that oppose this proposal. I am glad that IV has this proposal as part of its agenda
Whether i am a minority and whether i am a majority does not make any difference.
If you want legal speak then ...
Giving GC to STEM graduates is not the right way. If US needs to keep these educated people in US then US needs to make sure these educated people get an H1B without any issues and then they are on the path to GC like everyone else because H1B is a dual intenet visa. Jumping from a F1 visa to a GC visa is not correct as F1 visa is not a immigration intenet visa
If you want plain speak then ...
Why should STEM graduates have it easy when a H1B has to struggle and wait in liner to get a GC.
I would agree to this only is the requirement is made so that only PHD and scientist who have atleats acouple of research papers published be given GC and not every Tom, Dick and harry who completes 4 years engg degree in india from a 2 bit university and whose parents have money and uses this money to pay for 2 years MS.

I think you have to wait until you defend your thesis. My guess
You gets Masters Degree after you finish all the requirements and that
includes your thesis defence.
Then only you are eligible for the 20000 US Advanced Degree quota
After you finsih your defence, you submit the revised doc etc for archiving and when eventhing is done the
registrar's office receives all clear signal from department and then issues you a provisional degree letter stating that
degree is granted to you (thats when you have done your degree )

Congress.org - News : Why Bill Gates cares about immigration (http://www.congress.org/news/2010/05/24/why_bill_gates_cares_about_immigration)
Why Bill Gates cares about immigration
Foreign workers have a stake in fight to change laws.
Activists on both sides of the immigration debate tend to focus on the millions of illegal immigrants whose fate rests on whether Congress passed a law.
But foreigners here legally also have a stake in this fight.
The U.S. issues temporary worker visas, called H-1B after their official classification, to thousands of non-residents each year. Often, they hold college degrees and have technical skills.
Microsoft and other technology companies hire many workers this way. They often have to prove they can't hire skilled U.S. citizens to fill those jobs first.
Bill Gates wrote in the Washington Post several years back that there is an employment gap that H-1B visas help fill:
This issue has reached a crisis point. Computer science employment is growing by nearly 100,000 jobs annually. But at the same time studies show that there is a dramatic decline in the number of students graduating with computer science degrees.
The United States provides 65,000 temporary H-1B visas each year to make up this shortfall -- not nearly enough to fill open technical positions.
H-1B workers, who have united under grassroots groups like Immigration Voice , want more than just an increase in visas. They want the government to streamline the rules.
Currently, the workers have to apply for green cards through their employers, often a lengthy and cumbersome process. They can't switch jobs easily and sometimes have to reapply for a visa even if they move jobs within the same company. They have to leave the country every few years before they can reapply for a visa.
The workers can also apply for a spouse to come to the U.S., but their partners are not allowed to work under the H-4 status granted to them. The activists argue that those individuals represent a skilled base of workers who could contribute to the U.S. economy and help pay for household expenses.
Powerful corporations back the H-1 B workers in their demands, since it would make it easier for them to hire skilled workers. But groups like Numbers USA argue that those companies shouldn't hire non-residents at a time when many Americans are jobless.

Guys,
I saw there are 50 replied to this post. Looks like people are more interested in others problems than their own.
Its pity that MOST CRITICAL issue we are facing at present - AC21 Denial issue, is having only 77 mails but everyone is jumping gossipping. Come out of this and show a unity to real problems.
Grow up and don't escape from real problems. Its our problem and we need to fight to resolve it.
Well said ItIsNotFunny. Nothing wrong ppl spend time on this thread, but they should send IV AC21 letters first. Its not even 2$ expense as some one else specified on other thread.

Now, instead of getting her into trouble you have to get yourself out of trouble first.
Find a cool way to send her out.
You will be in trouble anytime in future if she proves that you have employed her illegally in the past.
Going a bit tough here, sorry for that.
1. You both are in H1B (assuming you must know laws behind H1B)
2. Able to find someone inexpensive who can take care of your valuable baby
3. Powerful knowledge in technology to setup a secret camera to capture what she does the whole day
4. Collect all evidences and planning to penalize her
But you are not aware of the simple fact that it is illegal to hire and pay someone without notifying appropriate government agencies.
Anytime in future, if she is caught(chances are more as she is clearly not aware of the laws here and how serious is beating a child, if not in your place some other place), expect query from INS/IRS. This is a different country.

Yes, but it is not the receipt generation, it is the actual review of the case as per advertised processing dates. if your case is in the Processing Date window (based on your online receive date), then most likely your case is preadjudicated, and now is waiting for the visa in sequence of PD. Best of luck.
Just spoke to an IO from TSC, she said its the Filing date ( receiving date ) is what the processing time is based on

Sir,
Here is why I am interested in this discussion.
1.> I am from india and retrogression affects indians, hence I wish my community can fight against this in a democratic civil way as I have always said.
2.> If ppl like you, who has no profile and who claims to have become US Citizen last week, comes here and fuels the fire to divide us - this is not going un-noticed.
3.> I feel that instead of crying over small # of LC subs, we fight for something where everyone gets benefitted. If we are successful in visa recapture or end of retrogression, everyone of us would get gc if eligible. what effect of lc sub would be there in that case?
4.> however if ppl like you come and make us fight among overselves, we reach no where. May be this is what you want. isn't it?
5.> if a person is slightly over-weight, and if he is detected to have 2 cancers also - what should he do? worry about cancer first or that extra 2 pounds of weight? similary in current situation, the lcsub is slight over weight compared to cancer like 'large unused visa numbers' and 'unfair country qouta'.
I want my community to be united and fight bigger problem first. This is my interest. I fail to understand yours.
Now you are acting like crying baby.
Labor substitution was never illegal unless you have purchased it. Hijacking the priority date is incorrect according INA. If you are not feeling pity about the fellow immigrants who suffered injustice (also from India) you are selfish a individual. FYI more than 60% of the 2007 July fiasco were substitutes
I am neither IV core nor you (as per Profile). So all these guys can do is to bring this issue to their attention. So they can decide this battle needs to be fought or not.
You can check my earlier posts to know my status.
As for as fighting is concerned you are the one who started the fight calling them jealous. Since you do not have any points you are using such slurs. Please be gracious on such forums. Even if this is successful it will not affect you because your priority date was current when you applied the I-485. There might be delay which you can overcome by fighting for removing the country quota.

Did you try this campaign?
Matthew Oh has posted an appeal to USCIS to make sure no visa number is wasted , in light of the grim October bulletin.
If he can make an appeal, why are we not making an effort for our own good?I still see TSC giving some approvals very slowly. NSC just sucks. I believe NSC did all this in retaliation to the faxes people sent in to complain slow processing, which were very justified faxes.
I see some accusations labelled at me about selfish EB2 motives. This is not about EB2. Even if dates are current, NSC is sleeping from last week of August. We cannot just allow them to arbitrarily close the gate whenever they want. People are allowed to file 485s till Sep 30. Consular processing applicants will go through. We, I485 pending applicants will just watch like idiots. The issue here is to make USCIS work on basis of visa bulletin, which is what they are supposed to do. Someday after say re-capture bill passes, say Eb3 is current. Then, what guarantee is there that NSC will not repeat the same fiasco?
I fully appreciate the need to direct efforts towards re-capture bill. But, this issue is equally important.
I am totally furstrated by the lack of mobilization in this direction. I request everybody to so something in the remaining 20 days.
I wrote letter to Zoe, I am going to write to more congressmen. But yes, I am also frustrated by lack of mobilization. I am strongly against sending flower compaign. USCIS does not deserve flowers. It deserves demand for resignation of every slack person in there.
Can any one of us survive in our jobs for 5 days even if we do the kind of arbitrary/inconsistent/random actions like USCIS does ?
