Hello all,
I live in Los Angeles and sent my application on 11/26/07 to CGI SF and received a call on 11/27/07 notifying me that it would take approximately 30 days to renew my passport since it has been over 3 years since it expired. Apparently they need to contact authorities in India to do additional background checking.
Yes, I admit that it is my fault for not checking my passport prior to making travel plans and not renewing in time. However, with the hope that the "emergency/tatkal" scheme would work in getting my passport renewed before my departure date of 12/15/07, I did include the extra $90 for the "emergency/tatkal" scheme. Though I sent the extra money, as I mentioned above, they informed me that they would not be able to expedite my passport renewal.
They informed me that the "emergency/tatkal" process is for grave emergencies only. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I don't have a close family member on their death-bed and I did not want to lie on the application.
In any case, they have sent my application back and it seems that I am out-of-luck and will probably have to cancel my trip.
However, I do have questions for people who have received renewed passports in less than 2 weeks from various CGI locations:
1. Did you apply to the CGI in the appropriate jurisdiction?
2. How long had it been since your passports had expired?
3. Did you know people who worked at the CGI or just got lucky?

All:
I think things are moving fast. I had paper-filed the EAD applications and sent them to the Phoenix lockbox on April 5th by ordinary post( due to miscommunication).. and was so worried whether they will receive it
However today both checks were cashed ( saw that in my bank acct). So things seem to be moving faster now.
I hope things move quickly for all of you. I will keep you updated when I get the receipts.
Thanks

Thnks, for the fax # , hope I get my EAD/AP soon, I had applied for AP on 4/9/2010 and EAD on 4/15/2010. My EAD is valid till Aug 3rd . My wife's EAD is till July 21st.
I sent both to Phoenix lock box as Im in CA. My checks havent been cashed yet, both were paper filing , in the past the checks used to be cashed in a week and I used to get the receipts in the mail within a weeks time.
Has any one been in a situation where they havent got EAD renewal in 90 days and has been successful in getting the interim EAD from the local USCIS office? Plz post their experiences here.

I just called today (this is the first time I called USCIS after filing my I-485). It was connected to NSC. The lady who took the call was very nice.
She told my case is pre adjudicated and my case is with an officer since today morning. And also said I should hear something pretty soon.
I really hope I (and all of you) get magic emails soon!

You can use that labor. Here is how you would proceed.
Comply with the advt requirements and whatever else is pending - in couple of months you will have your old labor approved - once old labor is approved , just follow the process normally as you would do.
Since both labors were filed in same category , you dont need to do PD porting or anything. Life is pretty simple for you ( wrt PD porting ).

I was wondering if any one in the core or other members think about the next step towards getting citizenship after passing the hurdles of getting the green card. If a person is here for 10 years and then get his green card (average period), then he need to wait for another 5 years to get the citizenship. 15 years for this process in a person's life is too much.
IV Core can push or lobby for a law which can make the person a US citizen, if he is living in US for 10 years legally without any issues and paying taxes for the entire period. It is just my idea.
This is a wonderful idea. Having waited for 10 years for green card, if one has to wait for 5 more years for naturalization (that allows one to vote in the elections), then it is indeed an utter discomfort. We need something like IV but with a different name: NaturalizationVoice (it would be envy -NV- of all in IV ;-)) to campaign for immediate ready-to-serve naturalization of highly skilled (like Saralayar, of course) permanent residents.. NV should also campaign for an amendment that would allow highly skilled immigrant turned naturalized citizens (eg. Saralayar) to contest as presidential candidates. If any such person wins, he or she could either ban immigration (at least for other high skilled people) or abolish waiting period for greencard.

Now I am thinking I should sign up for the family and all three of us would be able to do the 5K for sure.
Dear Needhelp,
It is so encouraging to read your posts. I am so happy that you are considering a Family Membership to Team IV. You are not only supporting IV's lobbying efforts, but that you support IV's fight against childhood obesity.
We must show our support for important healthcare issues which the US is facing right now. Afterall, we do live in the US ourselves.
Thanks for your support!!

I had an infopass appointment today and that was big waste of time and i had to drive 4 hours(2 hrs each way) for this.
They did not offer me any more information than the regular customer service.
She told me that they have received my FP on 7/22 (although I have given mine on 6/19) and it is not unusual that my application is pending. She asked me wait for another 30 days and come back if I dont receive until then.
I asked her if she could send an email or open an SR to the service center, and she said no saying that she will do that only after 30 days have passed beyond 90 day period.
I asked her about the interim EAD and she did not understand what I was talking about. When I provided her about USCIS memo, she said "yeah that is what im saying, we will contact the service center for that 30days after the stipualated 90 days have passed". Basically she did not know what she was talking about.
Im planning to contact the senator next week (this time I want to make sure that 90days have passed before I approach them)
Interestingly she told me that many people are coming to her everyday regarding the same (EAD renewal) and that Service Centers are aware of this (although this does not make any difference to us).
When I asked her if the case was assigned to an "officer", she told me that EADs are not assigned to officers (unlike 485) they are just reviewed and approved.
Hopefully they will approve our eads soon so that I can atleast drive a car.
Details:
EAD eFiled May 23rd
FP on June 19th
LUD:7/22
When I spoke to an IO one day before my ead got approved, she said my case is with an officer and in your case, they are saying that case does NOT get assigned to officer. I guess, no body knows when happens insde uscis ....

The reciprocity treaty between US and other countries donoring H1 immigrants is very important and sensitive. This could be a very powerful leverage for the US law-makers to make them think again about the legal immigration...
It worth the IV forum to start digging in this direction. Together with the exposure to the media this would be the remedy of our problems. The rest is a waste of time.
Is there anyone who could provide more details about the whole issue?

all the studies by economists, investment experts, psychologists, etc for the last several decades clearly showed that for 99% of the people day trading makes them lose all their money. it is highly addictive and on an average everbody loses their savings. legally it is another style of trading and there are no consequences whether you are on J1, H1B, on EAD or a citizen! (ofcourse if somebody knows which stock is going to be up/down and exactly when, he can make a lot of money (better call him a prophet than a day trader/pattern trader).
Guys, My personal opinion. Pls do not fall for these risky trading tactics. I'm in no way against trading, but cautioning you whole heartedly...and I have nothing against the original poster
In trading if you are able to beat the market with 10-20% consistency for 2-3years, the wall street banks will be at your door steps asking you to work for them with profit sharing and salary
Based on my experience of trading...
"Money is always an inch away from your finger tips, the more you run towards it , the further away it goes.... " and its a never ending story
The so called wall street is full of crooks/manipulators and what an ordinary investor thinks to be an excellent stock would be junk if the street does not favour it...How much ever you compare relative stocks with fundamentals, p/e, Financials statements, beta , volatility etc etc....
And the Buzz words for these kind of manipulations are " Shorting, Naked- Shorting, Rumor mongering, Insider Trading, Pre-after market trading"
I bet once you are in trading, you will have tremendous Mood Swings.
However if you want to understand what trading is all about , you can visit this trading education website . Its a nice set of videos about technicals.
http://www.youtube.com/user/InformedTrades?ob=1
Also if you would like to see what kind of patterns you would like to trade, then you can visit www.finviz.com
This site contains all the buy/sell signals like Double/multiple bottom, head and shoulders, wedge down, wedge up , double top etc etc.....
"Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose"
All the very best.

Hi sweet23guyin,
We would have loved to pick the NYC ING Marathon, but it would be quite a bit of a challenge for us to coordinate Team IV participation at an event where the registration is controlled via a lottery system. We would like to get our first year successfully under our belts, and then we will certainly look into revisiting NYC's marathon.
The three events picked for 2008-2009 year are spread out across the US and they provide us with a range of distances to walk/run. I have spoken to the race directors and we are ready to coordinate registrations with them. I hope you will join us in our first year.
Best wishes,
NolaIndian

The three days were packed with drama - Like any good drama, this too had it's moments of tension, action, and humor....the funniest one was:
Right before the rally when Aman was EXTREMELY busy, he actually had 30 seconds for each reporter. Our sweet little Jane walks up to him and asks "Aman where are my clothes?"
Aman had the funniest expression on his face :confused:
Here is the background : All of us had stayed in the same hotel and at the check out time we had kept out luggage in the baggage room. Aman had the tags of Jane's bags and Jane thought that Aman would get her luggage @ the rally!
Guys u had to be there - It was hilarious:D:D:D:D
