Yeah, if I had anything but a 9pin dot matrix printer I could have made the heart red (lol - it took me a heck of a long time to make it even semi-resemble a heart) :P
used up 1/2 a ribbon to print... :P
funny, I hadn't thought of that in years... that was right before the end... :-\

Most affected are Chinese and Indian members...I don't know much about Chinese but I know from experience that it is hard to get money out of Desis...
They have a multiplication factor inbuilt in their minds 1$X44 = 44 Rupees!!!
So sad.
I am a desi too. So do not get offended.
Actually it worst for India now (china retrogression is lesser)
Either way Chinese nationals have other aveues (because
of communist govt, anti-two child law etc which make asylum cases strong)

I’m a legal immigrant, I140 approved and on EB3 waiting list, priority date 04/2006. I need to renew my valid SC driver's license that will expire on 08/15/2010. Went to SC DMV today and they confiscated my valid SC drivers license card, issued a sheet of paper (Letter size) with letter head "Temporary driver's license card" without photo on it. This "document" is only valid in SC. This means that I cannot travel outside SC and May take up to 60 days to re-issue my SC DL card. I'm a professional electronic engineer and my work requires to travel outside the SC state. Why do I need to be punished? Just because I am a foreigner! This is an interesting story where the SC and other states illegal Immigration Reform Act is affecting legal immigrants very badly. Is all about illegal immigrants or there is a growing xenophobia in the USA? If you are a foreigner but legally in this country you are consider guilty until proven innocent? Or all immigrants are consider illegal?

Hello All, Pardon me if I'm bringing up the question that's already been answered, but couldn't find any answer anywhere in the forum.
I just received my FP notice today but my wife hasn't received any. I'll wait few more days certainly before calling USCIS, but has anybody come across this situation? We had mailed all the applications together at NSC and have Receipt Notices.
Does InfoPass come to any help here?
Please suggest.

And how to you differentiate between soft lud and very soft lud?:o
soft LUD on a case 1 no. ahead of you or 1 no. behind you = very soft LUD on your case. Isn't everybody is smart enough to calculate the formula for very-raised-to-the-power-of-n soft LUD now.

Good Luck and please share your experiences when done.

I read about new guidelines about not leaving USA before applying for reentry permit and biometrics are taken. Please see the note below:

If the link does not work, fo to fragomen's web site , select resources --> US Immigration head lines and the following topic:
USCIS Clarifies Biometrics Requirement for Reentry Permit Applicants.
I am sure other immigration firms have similar info.

In addition to the above questions:
USICS had stopped the movement of EB2/EB3 dates by not allotting visas and on the other hand they had also added too many restrictions on H1 extension [like valid Purchase Order for all visa extension], no matter you have approved I-140. These days they give H1 extn for only that period of time till PO is valid. That means if the PO is valid for 4 monnths one gets H1 extn for 4 months only and if it 6 mths then extension for only 6 months. This means that after 4,6 months one again has to apply for H1/H4 extensions and again pay all those fees.
This really sucks !!
Is the intention of all these laws is to catch fraud or kick out all immigrants from this country ?
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Yes, to some extent they do want to end the use of H1B for contract related jobs.
Benching, percentage basis etc were not in H1B rules. Now they are trying to crack down on all that. They are trying to make the H1B-body shopper business model un-viable.

I am not sure about the voting schedule but the immigration bill will be debated in the Senate during the last two weeks of May.
I read this in USA Today:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has set aside the last two weeks of May for debate on an immigration bill; House Democrats hope to act before the August recess.

I got an approval in March 2007 and status still says 'the notice that USCIS sent was returned as undeliverable". As I guess approval notice was sent to my employer's old address and so returned. My employer got address changed and sent request to Nebraska Service Centere to resent the documents, but documents not received yet. Still waiting.
Thanks!
You should act fast and call NSC ASAP to see why the notice was not resent. I hope this situation doesn't affect our I-485s sent on 2nd July when the I-140 was pending. (It was approved on 7/18)

This is my first post, so bear with me.
I also got a Status Update message via email from USCIS. I think the lawyer will be getting the papers in mail next week.
Seems like USCIS has started sending RFE for a lot of us, who have been waiting for a long time. What might be the reason for this. I heard from some of my friends that they are pre-adjucating the cases so that when the visa dates are available, they can process faster, but I also wonder if they are doing it so that they can drop some cases who do NOT reply to their RFE (similar to what happenned with Backlog Elimination Center and 45 day letters).
It is called "two birds in one shot". Pre-adjudication and pre-rejection.
And yes, the reason why most people get RFEs is because the records may not be available properly due to clerical issues.
Preadjudication follows these guidlines
(1) If it is deniable - can some reason be found to deny this case? Deny it - can be resolved thropugh MTR
or
(2) Is it RFEable - can we issue a standardRFE for this case? - Issue RFE
or
Preadjudicate it and keep it ready for visa allocation.

go through the AR 11 form online and after you complete the same you would see options to put in your receipt numbers , do the same for yourself and your secondary
Hello,
I filed my 485/EAD/AP last year and recently changed my address. Besides filing an AR11, what are the other steps I need to do? Should I be calling USCIS to make sure the new address gets reflected on my 485 application?
Thanks,
