Albeit a little slow in returning phone calls, emails is very knowledgeable and a good lawyer. Their charges/rates are at least 1/3rd that of Murthy's

I have some questions:
I have EAD and AP, but i never used it. Still working on H1.
My wife used EAD but never went outside US..so never used AP.
1) In EAD form, for Q.15 Current Immigration Status for me and my wife?
2) In AP form, for "Class of Admission", what should I write for me and my wife?
Thanks

She gave the choice to either send $20.00 MO or send an stamped envelope. I am contemplating on sending the $20.00 MO. Because I don't want them to tell me again that I have not sent the envelope, should I send one.
Cant you send a certified mail so you have their receipt?.

All law firms hired by the employer will only respond or react to employer and not to the employee. Fragomen is very conservative (not 100% ethical) and will not take any chances with GC processing. Employers will always take the law firm's adivice because they dont want to take any risk either. Fragomen represent almost all of the fortune 100 companies, all of BIG4's, BIG 3's and all major consulting firms.
If you (personally) hire Fragomen directly they will respond to all your queries in timely fashion. You will not talk to the lawyer at all. You will only talk to the paralegal. This is the problem with all big law firms.
Again, the prestige of the law firm you hire does not have anything do with your application.

I am not sure if it is only me.....but many times I see strangers wishing me or each other morning, evening...."how u doing" ,,,etc....
but Indians (I am also an Indian -:) are a little reserved....I do not see a greeting from fellow Indians that easily.....again I am not saying Indians are bad (cause I too am one -;)
maybe it is a culture thing for us not to greet strangers ?
PS - I have had my share of experience where non-Indians are also sometime rude me to me .....
mommy told me not to talk to strangers :p

Thanks Bestin, for the quick update provided on the forums. Was caught up in personal work and hence couldn't update here.
1) Thanks to CC, we had a good meeting. Around 15 members turned up, which is a good show as this is our very first meet as a State chapter. It was a great success as an ice breaker and people could actually see the faces behind the ids walking_dude, cagedcactus, curious_techie, alien etc.
2) Sorry to have not posted pics and videos. It was the first meeting for all of us, though some of have been co-ordinating efforts online through phones and E-mail. Also some of us are prospective AC21 candidates (so you guys need to wait some more months :) )
3) Every one of the attendees pitched in with their ideas and experiences in GC process. We had a fruitful discussion about IV Talking points. EVERYONE readily volunteered to our highest priority task. We will be going ahead with it in full steam in the days to come. Modalities were discussed to and agreed to at the meet.
4) We got some more volunteers who agreed to share the Co-ordinator responsibilities with me and CC. We have formed a "Co-Ordination Committee" of 5 members - CagedCactus, Walking_Dude, Bestin, BReddy2000 and Ajobha. Committe will be dynamic and based on member choice and level of participation.
5) I understand that we need a more central place which will facilitate more participation from all over Michigan. We are fine with it as long as we can get some volunteer from Farmington Hills, Dearborn, Southfield etc. who can book us a room/hall. Without a local participation it's hard to arrange a place for meeting. Till then we may have to make do with our current spot.
6) I am co-ordinating with CC to get the hall Officially booked so we don't face the elements next time. We are looking at the possibility of booking a room for free ( a facility available to non-profit groups such as us)
7) Me & CC had a meeting later where we compiled Minutes Of the Meeting (MOM) and other stuff too! Like a new Secure Yahoo or Google groups for secure dissemination of IV updates and chapter action plans. Teleconferencing options, Outreach, member drive etc. It will be communicated to Core as soon as I can type it into a document (along with the list of IV MI members as a trusted list)
8) Every participant volunteered to do his best to help IV and the State Chapter in our cause. It was also agreed that everyone will get more friends, neighbors, colleagues and acquaintances in the chapter, which is GREAT. We have had a really good start. Thanks to everyone who volunteered full support and will bring in more members.
9) Thanks to CC for the snacks and coffee. I will volunteer to get them next time.
10) Most importantly - Thanks to Everyone who participated. WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL TOGETHER.

That is great and is exactly what the doctor prescribed. Lets try and get the Congressman to make a positive decision. Every call counts!
I just called and spoke to a staff member at Lamar Smith's office. Apparently a lot of calls are being made :D. She knew why I was calling before I could tell her. I was told that the Rep. has not made a public stand on these bills yet. I told her that I would like the Representative to support these bills if and when they come to the floor.
Keep calling, guys!.

None has called a ban for anyone being differ but it's just the way you express your opinions by using the words like "herd mentality", "dimwitted" etc. Not that you have accepted that you are here for news only, I don't think we need people like you.
IV is not a news site. It's a group of people who are fighting for a common cause. One needs to understand the common cause is not just helping July filers or people affected with retrogress but a bigger aim of helping all the legal employment-based immigrants. But one also needs to understand that not all the objective can be accomplished at a time and we need to strike the iron when it's hot and make every opportunity count, be it a BEC, retrogression, July filer or Visa recapturing.
Having said that, I do agree that BEC is one of the issue which should definitely be focussing on next. I'm sure IV members (even if they are not a BEC victim) will support whole heartedly any cause which can bring some relief to BEC victms. What we need is a united front and some unique ideas like flower campaign. Do not forget the flower campaign idea was pursued by one of the IV member who was not part of core.
I think critics of both sides of the argument need to have their say but in a decent manner. This is a public forum and while personal opinions are welcome please be sensitive to the situation other people are in before making any statements. Everybody needs a place to vent out but this is not an forum for vents, it is for a common cause. While we acheive some small victories in this long wait the actual battle is ahead of us and lets not lose focus. There might be many of our fellow members who might become inactive because they recd their GC's or simply not interested anymore and yet at the same time there would be many more new members joining the group for help and advise.
It is imperative to understand , as often pointed out by logiclife, that one person's loss is not anothers gain here. While some of us may feel bad because even latest PERM approved can file 485 while BEC stuck filers are waiting in the benches there is no guarantee that they will get GC before us. If that were true then there would be not so many people waiting here for their GC's. I do feel worried to an extent about how this might affect my chances of getting a GC(waiting 7 yrs already, 485 filed 3 yrs ago) but is there anything we can do to change this? -certainly, the way to change it is to look at the big picture and try to eliminate the reasons for the backlog issue and see that reduced. If that is done and we see some changes on account of the SKILL bill or any of the other initiatives like re-capture of old unused visas or one Visa number per family then all of us would be in a better situation.
For those people who are insensitive to the emotions of people who are stuck in BEC remember till yesterday you were also cursing USCIS(irrespective of your PD) about not being able to file 485 and yet today you scorn those who feel wronged for not being able to file because of this BEC mess.
Lets all unite and try to work towards the large picture issues rather than squabbling over things like this. TO BAN or Not to BAN is IV moderators perogative, if somebody violated the spirit they need to get a warning and given a chance to change or then banned..my thoughts..
cheers

I know, what you said and I agree as well. It is universal truth that every one has priority. We know the science experimental story:
Monkey mother and her small kid were trap inside the water tank and water is slowly rise. Mother took care of her kid and hold to her belly. Water further rose and she hold her kid to chest. water further rose and she hold kid on her head. Now water come to her nose and she tried to stand on her toe. Still water was rising and finally she threw her kid and stand on her and tried to survive.
Moral of the story:
Compete America is pushing H1B/EB together but when they will have only one to select, they will go for H1B. I don't see any thing wrong on it.
Think that If IV have only one choice between EB provision and H1B. What IV will select?
I know CA promotes both , but issue is whether they do that equally.
I have a feeling h1b is more on agenda.
Just that you belive what they are saying....either way u will see when h1b gets increased without eb reform.

I guess I am little late on this post but I thought I would share what I got from the USCIS Call Center.
My application reached on July 2nd. When I asked the representative about the fate of my application, first she said I should be fine. Then, I asked about the updated July VB and she put me on hold for 2-3 mins. She came back and told me that my application would be rejected and sent back in 15 days. When I told her that my application was received before DOS released the update and technically my application was received by USCIS when the bulletin was still current, she said that would depend on the descretion of that USCIS office.....funny but that's what she said. Again, she said that I could reapply in Oct and they will process the application then. But when I asked whether she was sure that VB will be current in Oct, she said USCIS doesn't know that.
So, the bottom line is.....there is no point in calling USCIS and asking them about the current fiasco as they themselves are unsure. You can still call them and you might hear something different but equally confusing.
Just everybody call them and post the USCIS CSR crazzzy answers. ...Atleast in future they will be careful not doing these kind of flip-flop things ........ We all know they will either reject or accepted and that decision needs to be taken at the highest level of USCIS...

And there is an important lesson to be learned from the health industry lobby. They just did not say they want CIR or skil and then went back when both cir and skil failed. They started chipping away at individual items like 50000 visas for Schedule A last year and 90000 this year from unused\recaptured visas. We should also be asking for our individual line item, 485 measure. This is how a war is won, one battle at a time. It is unrealistic to have an "all or nothing" attitude that people opposing 485 measure have. If the health industry lobby had such "all or nothing" attitude they would not have got the 50000 visas last year nor would they have been trying to get the 90000 this year. Hope we learn from them.
H1B was misused and abused so much by the industry that the local
population has become hostile to the whole concept of foreign engineers/IT workers. Companies like Infosys, TCS hire 100% IT staff from India etc.
(saying that no US citizen/GC available...thats like lying in broad daylight)
Nurses came on Green cards and were free to change jobs etc. so
they affected the local job market to a far lesser degree so the opposition
is less.

Just got the information from Murthy.
RFEs or Denials May Not Be Based on Wikipedia Information
The USCIS has been known to use an ever-growing number of publicly available sources, including internet sources such as Wikipedia. AILA members have been receiving denials based on the USCIS's use of information found on Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia to which anyone in the world may contribute information. As such, it should not be considered an objective or completely reliable source of information. SCOPS advised that it has notified the service centers and there should not be additional RFEs or denials based upon Wikipedia.
It should be noted that, as a corollary, applicants and petitioners should not try to use Wikipedia as support for their filings or arguments, since it has been deemed an unreliable source.

Here is a message from Ajoba regarding the San Jose rally....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must say that this is a great great effort. Both, the flower campaign and the rally. Nothing like this has been done before by wanna-be immigrants. We are hardworking, law abiding, well educated people. But until now, the general opinion was that we are at the mercy of the American immigration system. I was especially so frustrated when some of my friends thought that there was nothing wrong in what the USCIS did. Their response was simply "what can we do? let's just re-apply when the dates become current again". Historically, Indians (at least, from my experience) have been hesitant to protest against the wrongdoings of their rulers. This is seen even today, when we fear to raise our voice when our bosses or managers at work exploit us, or our advisers/professors exploit us, or if the USCIS changes rules in the middle of the game. In India too, the general opinion is "Nothing is going to change, let's not get into trouble". This rally has shown that things are changing. We all should wake up, and fight for our rights! I could not attend the rally as I am based in Michigan, but I thank all of you who protested for me and my family. I will do my best to support this effort in whatever way I can.
Hi Guyz,
First off, kudos to all the friends who attended the rally. I really appreciate the efforts and thank all of them.
I just thought of starting this thread for people who did not attend. Please explain in one or two sentences why you did not attend. Whether it was a personal reason, whether u were scared, didn't care, forgot, didn't know! etc.
My reason:
I really wanted a green card, but because India is growing so fast, I really don't think I want it so badly anymore. So, I did not have the motivation to go ...
I am honestly curious. What changed in two months? You were desperate then, and you are not now?
