I called and enquired abt my case. I told I was beyond normal processing time. They gave me some service request no... and told me I will receive an email within 30 days. What does this mean!
This means that if your receive date at the center (which is close ND) is not before the published processing date, they don't want to entertain your complaint. Note that published dates is, up to which they believe they have handled all cases. It does not mean they have not handled, or are not allowed to handle, any case received after the published processing dates. But they don't want to entertain any enquiries on those cases. SR simply means a standard reply within 30 days, if your date is actually outside the published dates.

Congrats. Did you do anything special - SR, Senator office, Infopass?
No. Last year we had an RFE as my wife's medicals were missing a signature. As Pappu mentioned in another thread most of them were pre approved and were waiting on visa numbers I think.

I went in personally last month and got my passport the same day through the Tatkal scheme. I just feel spending the extra $150 is way better than anxiously awaiting for it for 3 weeks. I know that they take their jobs seriously over there and the chances of your passport getting lost are bleak. However, there were still a few things that I'd have them do differently. When I told them I wanted my passport the same day, the lady at the counter gave me a shocking expression.:D Then, I was asked to wait for a few minutes just because I mentioned it was an emergency. Not sure how that works :D After 40 mins or so of waiting, when I asked the same lady what was up, she gave me an even more surprised look and asked me 'you didnt get your passport yet?' :D So, I'd advise better be safe than sorry.

Says who?
How do you know that US masters degree dont need to work for consulting firms?
Do US masters degree holders work for Deloitte? IBM Global Services? Accenture? KPMG? Price Water House Coopers?
What about Oracle consulting services? What about TRW? Bearingpoint?
All these are consulting companies or the divisions of consulting companies. Both US degree holders and the non-US degree holding duffers like myself work in consulting firms(I dont anymore since 2003). In fact, I have had my classmates from India have to look for consulting jobs after they did MS in computer science from USA.
You are under the impression that the bill is outlawing desi consulting firms and firms that exploit.
The bill outlaws OUTPLACEMENT. And the bill applies to all firms, desi firms and the big 5 consulting firms and your IBM, TRW ... everyone.
Please read the bill and read the description in the first post.
And although I am the last one to engage in US-degree versus non-US degree and Masters Versus Non-Masters fueds, I am tempted to say that US masters or US degree isnt worth a bucket of warm spit when the market is bad.
When the market is really bad, like it was in 2001 and 2002, I have seen many Masters degree holders pack up and throw in the towel and I have seen many individuals with degrees from private Tier 3 university from India survive just fine in an environment where there were 80 resumes for each IT job. The US masters degree holders, particularly with computer masters degrees with their courses in useless subjects like "assembly level programming" and their binary math didnt do squat for them while looking for jobs during recession times and could not stand competition from bachelor's degree holders from Tier 3 university from India who had done 6 month course in NIIT.
However if you are proud of your US degree and US masters, suit yourself. But dont say things like "I dont need consulting". Coz you really do and so do thousands of others having US degrees.
This H1B drama has really brought out the "indian" in each one of us (you). God Forbid, some of the anti-immigrant agencies see this, we will no face to fight.
To say something like what logiclife has said only brings out the true face of the some people behind immigrationvoice.org. It all boils down to "who has a US degree and who hasnt"..well, Mr logiclife, You dont know the value of a US degree simply because you dont have one! I want my GC as much as some people here without a US degree, but to classify a US degree as being the same as "warm spit" is just plain "uneducated". Now, I really appreciate all that immigrationvoice.org is doing for our community, but some of the these stupid racist comments from the so-called administartors,with such an attitude,who happen to meet the US lawmakers scares me a lot.

Dilip,
You are smart. Pappu will continue to work on H1-B, even after receiving EAD.
It was pappu who said that 'Working on EAD is one-way street".
So, you will get your training and still don't have to pay penny unless pappu accepts cash.
--sri
Folks if you want to know how to handle an interview... learn it from Pappu!! He was smooth (read slippery) as... soap?... hell anything that is smooth :)
Pappu... any training you can give me? :eek:
I may even be able to pay you... once you get your EAD! :)

You can send 2 x 2 photo.. they will cut and make it like a 3.5cm x 3.5cm Or you can use epassportphoto dot com to get yourself a 3.5cm x 3.5cm passport photos for less.
Can i have both the address to be a India permanent address? Is there any way to avoid US address in passport? Presently i am on H1 visa. I have entered with L1 visa which is expired. Later my company transferred me to H1 visa which is not stamped. What are the documents i need to submit for visa proof?

Very true - anyone who goes ahead in the queue is actually easing it up for the latter. This is Never about belittling a fellow sufferer.
If PhDs get a quota relief, will be good for all of us, although i personally will not qualify.
US Bachelors/Masters holders in a STEM field for example, will similarly ease up the system.
Hopefully all others will see it that way.
If there is anything targeted for any small group...I am sure other will not accept whatever may be the reason. Everyone desperately wants to get out of this mess. I don’t think freeing up the queue theory will help. That’s the reality.
For the shake of argumennt let me ask you...If I get my GC, it will free up one GC in line. Will you accept that and support this. This is the question in everyone's mind now.
United we stand...divided we fall.

Going back to the original subject of discussion - before the thread got hijacked by plainspeak and some really divisive and dangerous viewpoints - I just wanted to say I completely agree with Goodintentions and the post below. Thanks for the observations - certainly helps newer members who are getting used to the idea of meeting congressional offices. This bill helps all EB and we should be all for it and any other piecemeal bills coming up in the new Congress
I agree with the contents of the post. Personally, I have been writing letters regularly to the Congressman, the Senators of my State and also to the President. In most cases I have received responses.
Many of you may not find my observations interesting or you have also come across something similar. This is however for those of our friends who are yet to write to law makers!
Following are some of the obesravtions which I would like to share:
1. Letters posted (not emails) seem to be read and replied. (Ofcourse, most of us are now so much used to email that it is difficult to print and post, but I still think it is worth the effort)
2. Unless the subject line refers to a "specific bill no." the answers are very generic. In fact many such responses are not relevant at all
3. Whenever the letters have been to the point and within ONE PAGE, they seem to draw attention.
4. I have tried to meet my Congressman for about 2 years, but in vain. However, over a period of time I have been able to develop some friendship with his immigration assistant. They are the people who prepare notes and present it to the Congressman
5. Recently I got a response from one of the Senators on the S1085 bill. He is a Democrat and has stated that he is supportive of the bill and that it is currentlyundergoing "judicial review by the Senate". I really do not know what it means, though!
5. Regarding CIR I got a clear letter from Mr McCain stating that unless the "borders are secure and sealed" CIR does not make any sense. I have once again written to Sen McCain that we are legal immigrants and would like to seek his support as well as thatof all Senators and Congressmen, from both parties. I am yet to get a response. Once I get a response I will share it with all of you
6. I am no writing a 2 separate letters (one about the new bill about passing on Lottery Visas to EB) and also another about the fate of of HR 5882. I would also be writing the Congressman who has sponsored this "Lottery Visa" about the HR5882.
The task is uphill and very difficult. We have no option but to try the beaten track. Many of us are here for more than a decade and the end is never so near. Time does not wait and we cannot board a time machine to get back in time! I am one such person who left UK and came here! Had I continued there I would have become a citizen 2 years back!
Perhaps we can try the Gandian method of "mass satyagraha" which is a very peaceful means, to highlight our situation. We can do it in summer, may be in June / July and start working in this direction. Not sure how many will scoff at me, but perhaps it is worth the try.
GOD BLESS all our friends who have been patiently waiting for ages!
Best wishes!

Will contribute again.
Even thinking most selfishly I can only think that contributing to the Advocacy Efforts will only save me money in the long run. Just imagine if I get my GC one year earlier due to these efforts - How much I will save -
No EAD for me and wife - Savings of $340 per year
No AP for me, wife and Son - Savings of over $1020 a year ( I always apply for AP
every year bcos I can't imagine being stuck here if there is an emergency back home)
This amount is only for one year - if GC drags ( most likely will.. without Advocacy) - do the math.
I feel contributing couple of hundred dollars is the least I can do.
I sincerely urge everybody to contribute whatever amount they can small or big -
Little drops of water make a mighty ocean (cliched it might sound but sums it up perfectly)
Just think you and your family had dinner at a restaurant this week. :)

H1BLegal95,
I couldn't agree more with you. This is the worst thing to happen for ppl who have been patiently waiting in BEC lines since 2001 !!! But remember you are getting screwed now others have either been screwed at some other point or will get screwed later. We all get screwed :D
I couldn't agree more. I am one of the lucky PERM filers with a 2006 PD who will get to file the 485 next month....but doesn't mean, I haven't been screwed before.
DOL screwed me the very first time in 2001 with my RIR labor....after 2 years they remanded it back to traditional labor...since 2003 it had been languishing in the labor queue and then at the BEC until finally in 2005, I lost my job...
After 4 years of struggle with the DOL, all I got was to start everything all over again in late 2005....In 2005 when I started this new job, the 485 filing looked almost 5 years away...through all of this me and wife had started living separately due to our professions and respective H1s...
Up until May of this year, it almost seemed like nothing was going to change and we will have to keep up with this wait and separation at least for the next 3 years or so...
But, we do get to see the light at the end of the tunnel now..
