Can someone tell me what is the alternate for providing birth Certificate I have one in Hindi.
You need to submit the translation for your Hindi birth certificate. There are plenty of translation services available, Trustfortecorp is one of them.

As per my knowledge even if you use H1 you still needap to travel out of US
Please check with your immigration attroney as they know it better but here are few things i heard:
EAD+AP:
after 6 mths of I-485 filing, shifting jobs would be easy with EAD. costly because of yearly renewal but worth based on your situation. i prefer renewing this EAD+AP, even in H1 so that you can shift jobs when you got the oppurtunity because EAD takes 3-4 mths approval time and you can travel using AP like H1 when you dont have H1 stamping. Even if you have H1stamping but if you use EAD/AP while entering US then you are no longer in H1 unless you go out and come back with H1.
Cons: Fees is increased by 60-80% this yr for EAD+AP, so costly. Also if for any reason anyone's I-485 is denied then the period he/she used EAD will be out-of-status so applying I-485 again wont be easy with "out-of-status" but still possible, check with your attroney.
Note: But couple of my friends changed jobs using EAD+AP and got GC without any issue. so it depends case to case and your application and how USCIS process it.
H1:
no need to renew EAD+AP but i feel it is always better to have both H1 & EAD/AP unless you want to save money. H1 gives oppurtunityto reapply I-485 even if denied. I think Job shifting is possible with H1 transfer, but check with attroney. Also you need to do H1 renewal and to travel abroad you need H1 stamping while entering US again.
hope this gives an idea.

I never called any elected official in the past. So I was little hesitant in the beginning. But it's so easy .. No hesitation now.. just give me the number and I will call them.

It's easy, and it's effective and strength is in numbers..

Slumdog,
You have really taken pains to put this in such an articulated fashion. Even though I do not feel great right now, I cannot stop dropping my 2 cents here.
While we know that all NON GC Holders will stop buying houses for the correct reasons I want to underscore some subtle reasons that influenced this buying spree. It is not my intention to put any one on pedestal. I am just writing what I observed. Not intended at any one in person.
Greed and lack of understanding
Want to make easy money. People think that Real estate value does not fall, just like in the places where they come from, where property has two values, Market value and government value with a huge differential. In the US, the county property assessments are purely based on market value. So thinking that the gains are not going to evaporate is lack of understanding of the system coupled with greed.
Do I/We really need a house?
Not many of the troubled home owners might have asked this Q. Had if they asked this Q, things would have been a lot better. The discussion of buying vs renting was almost gone. Every one held the opinion that buying trumps renting.
Save money on Taxes
This IMO, is the biggest myth. One needs to keep changing the house every 5 years to have the itemized deduction more than the standard deduction.B T W, If you live in one of the states that do not have state tax, your itemized deduction might not be so big that you will really benefit a lot every year. Hey! It does not matter where you are paying. Either you pay your taxes to uncle sam directly so that the govt can run fine or buy a home and contribute to the economy. In the end Govt gets the money. Biggest lie propagated by Realtors. Look at the amortization tables of your mortgage to find out.
Bad Realtor
Giving cash back to the buyers and trying to sell every damn home. When I buy a home, I will refuse to take the money from the Realtor off the bat. I will make him/her work and find the right home I want and would not just buy a home in a day. Easy money for the Realtor and a bad home with a bad loan for buyers. There are people who went out on the weekend and signed a home and told me at work on Monday.
DINKS So we are good
DINKS=Double income no kids. So what? That is now. what about six months from now? Are there going to be any life changing events? We cant predict every thing but it is NOT difficult to forecast whether a family is going to have a kid or not and what kind of financial implications will such events have?
Peer pressure
Lets take fictitious families R & S living in the same rented community with similar back ground. Mr and Mrs R decide to buy a home and they buy one. Mr S does not think it is right for them to do so. How ever, Mrs S pressures Mr S into doing so. Believe me this happens all the time.
Down payment
There is a reason why 20% down payment was a norm in the mortgage industry for a long time. 20% down payment keeps PMI and the high interest rates on your secondary loan away. I know people who are burned because of PMI and interest rate on second loan. Such down payment will keep the monthly EMI affordable and leaves out gimmicks.
I can understand taking a second loan on the 10% down payment, but people were let go with 0% down payment leaving them with a bad loan and a bad home. Some people bought the home they wanted, but the price was too high. Thats all they are left with.
As President O said, we collectively failed to take difficult and correct decisions even though the greed and deception can be attributed to some people on the wall street.

yes, the goal was to be a 10,000 member community by Dec-31st.
We have not achieved that. Lets shoot for becoming a 8000 member community by Jan 15th. I think smaller goals are more easily achievable.
I thought, 15000 members was a small goal. But I guess we have to start with even smaller goals. I agree with Amit.
There's too much at stake to give up this campaign. Without membership, we are a weak bunch. To fight organized campaigns by groups such as Numbersusa we need the member strength.
Let us aim for 8000 members by Jan 15th. Current membership stands at 7919. We need just 80 members to reach the 8000 mark. If 10% of the current membership brings ONE member by Jan 15th, we can easily reach that target. With 300000 immigrants in this kind of quagmire, cant we get 80 people? I believe we can.
Let's join hands one more time and try to Add just ONE member by Jan15th. It is for our own sakes we will be doing it, so let's do it!!!
Admins,
Please send out an email (monthly newsletter) to all members informing them about this campaign.

As some of you know, I have been working with news media, government leaders, and immigration lawyers over the past year because of the stimulus debacle. As a result, I have developed some strong contacts in government. I will be meeting some congressional immigration staffers in the next few days and I have developed a list of issues to discuss. If you want to post your own issues, feel free to do so in this thread and I will add them to the list. These are the same people who helped get the last stimulus bill changed in our favor, so they do have influence.
PLEASE be brief - bullet points would be good.
Also links to articles to support your concerns are welcome. I will put together a package to hand out at the meeting.
I thought of posting a poll on this thread, but decided it would be better to leave the discussion open ended.
Totoro: I really liked the way you alone initiated and handled the fight against Stimulate Package - ITIN issue. You can be a true leader and helpful in many way to this/any community. People like you can make difference in people's lives.
There are so many issues we are facing as a community. Let's pick top 3 ( OR 5 )for you to discuss with them. If there is any room, you can discuss least imp. issues as well.
Issue NO 1: Retrogression / Backlog for EB3/EB2
How to solve it ?
- Visa Recapture
- Saving visa by not issuing visas to applicant who are not current as per "Processing Times' Currently, CIS is approving many I-485s with PDs having currant but are not currant as per ' Processing Times'. 'Processing Times' needs to be respected. This will save huge number of visa for retrogressed countries.
- Buying Visa for dependants and not counting towards annual cap. ( Easy way to reduce backlog - more than 50% visa would be saved. Will solve problem in 1-2 years. No other action required.)
- Removing per country limit.( Requires changes in law - tough task/long shot.)
- Buy a house and get a GC idea ( its been widely discussed in media ...)
- Any more suggestion ?
-
Issue NO: 2 Allowing people to file I-485 /EAD/AP even their PD is not current. - MUST BE DONE.
Let's help these guys who can't file I-485/EAD as their PDs are not current. These are the people who are likely to suffer most in case of a job loss/visa issue. Even, their LCA/ I-140s are approved, it will become useless if they get fired/companies run some in problems etc. which can happen to any one in current times. Personally, I say - this should be our priority - can be fixed easily. It would also attract them to join us. A dying soldier saves other first.
Issue NO: 3
Issue NO : 4
Issue No - 5 Allowing work-permit for H4/dependants ( Not that important but will change lives for many)
Issue No - 6 AC21 - Helps greatly to individuals in tough times in maintaining their status. Any further modifications for AC21 ?

I called all the numbers and talked to congressional staffers. I was lucky that i got to talk to a person and not VM.
Many of them assured me that congressman is supportive of the immigration issues and will probably support the bills. Two of the staffers took my home address.
It is my first time calling congressmen offices and i was surprised to find it fairly easy :)

if i know this correctly, there are only 3000+ visa's (green cards)available for eb3 india and there are atleast 8000 people waiting in 2002. a person with a pd of mid 2002 also may need to wait atleast 2- 2 1/2 years before he/she gets their green card.
Dont you want to include the EB3 unused visa from worldwide? just the way EB2 got this time!
This is highlited in Aug VB thread too
following is pasted from VB link (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5092.html)
E. APPLICABILITY OF INA SECTION 202(a)(5)(A)AS IT RELATES TO THE ALLOCATION OF �OTHERWISE UNUSED� NUMBERS
INA Section 202(a)(5)(A), added by the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act (AC21), provides that if total demand will be insufficient to use all available numbers in a particular Employment preference category in a calendar quarter, then the otherwise unused numbers may be made available without regard to the annual per-country limits. This provision helps to assure that all available Employment preference numbers may be used. In recent years, the application of Section 202(a)(5)(A) has occasionally allowed oversubscribed countries such as China-mainland born and India to utilize large quantities of Employment First and Second preference numbers that would have otherwise gone unused.
For example, let us assume that 11,600 Employment Second preference numbers are available in a calendar quarter. There is heavy Employment Second preference demand by China-mainland born and India applicants; however, each country is oversubscribed and would ordinarily be limited to about 800 of the available numbers due to the prorating provisions of INA Section 202(e). Applicants from other countries that have not yet reached their per-country limit have reported a total demand of 6,500 numbers. After taking the worldwide demand into account, it is determined that as a result of the China-mainland born and India per-country limits only 8,100 of the total available Employment Second preference numbers would be used in that quarter. In this instance, the otherwise unused 3,500 numbers could then be made available to China-mainland born and India regardless of their per-country limits. Should that occur, the same cut-off date would be applied to each country, since numbers must be provided strictly in priority date order regardless of chargeability. In this instance, greater number use by one country would indicate a higher rate of demand by applicants from that country with earlier priority dates.

Filed for renewal on 04/05 and still waiting for receipts. Current EAD expires last week of July and am running the risk of losing my job if I don't get it by then.
Does anyone know what are my chances of getting it before then? Also, what are my other options at this point or before I lose my job. I read about interim EAD's on other posts, is this still an option?
Your response is highly appreciated.
Sincerely.

I agree. My experience thus far: I emailed 200 reporters and received no response. I am going to try the letters idea, because I too think what Amitjoey says is right-- letters make an impact.
Write a letter, run a grammar/spell check, then print, SIGN, and send it to senators who support us. I wrote the following. But please personalize, because that would send the message that this is an issue of importance to you-- the writer.

Subject: Thousands of properly filed EB Green Card applications likely to be rejected/ returned
References/ Enclosures:
� Interim Visa Bulletin by U S Department of State
� USCIS announcement to stop accepting Adjustment Of Status applications
Dear ____:
I have been living in ___, USA for the last ___ months/ years. By profession, I am a ____, and I work for ___, a company based in ___.
I am writing to bring to your attention the unprecedented decision made by US Department of State (DOS) on July 2, 2007 with its interim �visa bulletin�. With this bulletin, DOS determined that all the immigrant visa numbers allocated for the current financial year had been expended, and thus there would be no further authorizations of new Green Cards this year. In response, USCIS announced that it would return all Adjustment of Status applications it received, beginning July 2, 2007. Please note that the USCIS had already RECEIVED applications on the morning of July 2, 2007, even before DOS published this interim visa bulletin.
In my opinion it is an unfortunate decision in that it virtually renders null and void, thousands of properly filed Employment Based Green Card- Adjustment of Status applications.
An important thing to note here, is that in the Visa Bulletin published by DOS only 18 days ago (June 13, 2007) all Employment Based categories had been made �current� since almost 60000 immigrant visa numbers had been unused till that time.
This begs the question: how did USCIS manage to approve about 60000 green cards in less than 3 weeks, when it took the previous 8 months to approve the same number of green cards?
The Visa Bulletin published by DOS in June 2007, had brought good news to thousands of high-skilled temporary workers (doctors, engineers, IT professionals) in the USA, because the floodgates that had been closed for over 2 years had been re-opened.
This bulletin had implied that we could finally apply for "Adjustment of Status"- the final stage of the 3 step Employment based Green card process. This would solve a number of quality of life issues for people like me, as they would allow our spouses to take up part or full time jobs, they would bring in an element of stability allowing me to plan the purchase of a new home, and it would give me the freedom of relocating to another part of the USA for any unforeseen reason, without worrying about the portability of my existing job.
Therefore, my family and I worked really hard, and tried to religiously comply with all procedures laid out and submitted our application to reach the USCIS on the morning of July 2, 2007.
Besides running around to gather the paperwork to help file in time, I had to spend a significant amount of money on:
1) Urgent medical examinations and vaccinations by USCIS approved surgeon: $700. (Note: These were not covered by my medical insurance.)
2) New passport photographs; these needed to be less than a month old... so these had to be newly taken photographs
3) Notarization/ Courier charges: Approximately $100 (Some amount expended in foreign currency)
All of the money spent, as well as the time and efforts were rendered useless by the new bulletin on July 2, 2007, which I repeat, was published AFTER the window opened for new applications on the morning of July 2, 2007.
My point is, and I believe anyone with common sense would agree, it is only fair to expect a notice period before a reversal such as this one. Preferably... weeks of notice if not days! I am sure no US Citizen would accept anything less for a notice in such an important matter!
I would implore you to look into this matter as soon as you can, and request the USCIS to accept Adjustment of Status applications filed through July 2007.
Thank you.
Truly,
Name
Instead of "as soon as you can", you could use �at your earliest convenience�.

I am writing to bring to your attention the unprecedented decision made by US Department of State (DOS) on July 2, 2007 with its interim �visa bulletin�. With this bulletin, DOS determined that all the immigrant visa numbers allocated for the current financial year had been expended, and thus there would be no further authorizations of new Green Cards this year. In response, USCIS announced that it would return all Adjustment of Status applications it received, beginning July 2, 2007. Please note that the USCIS had already RECEIVED applications on the morning of July 2, 2007, even before DOS published this interim visa bulletin.
In my opinion it is an unfortunate decision in that it virtually renders null and void, thousands of properly filed Employment Based Green Card- Adjustment of Status applications.
An important thing to note here, is that in the Visa Bulletin published by DOS only 18 days ago (June 13, 2007) all Employment Based categories had been made �current� since almost 60000 immigrant visa numbers had been unused till that time.
This begs the question: how did USCIS manage to approve about 60000 green cards in less than 3 weeks, when it took the previous 8 months to approve the same number of green cards?
The Visa Bulletin published by DOS in June 2007, had brought good news to thousands of high-skilled temporary workers (doctors, engineers, IT professionals) in the USA, because the floodgates that had been closed for over 2 years had been re-opened.
This bulletin had implied that we could finally apply for "Adjustment of Status"- the final stage of the 3 step Employment based Green card process. This would solve a number of quality of life issues for people like me, as they would allow our spouses to take up part or full time jobs, they would bring in an element of stability allowing me to plan the purchase of a new home, and it would give me the freedom of relocating to another part of the USA for any unforeseen reason, without worrying about the portability of my existing job.
Therefore, my family and I worked really hard, and tried to religiously comply with all procedures laid out and submitted our application to reach the USCIS on the morning of July 2, 2007.
Besides running around to gather the paperwork to help file in time, I had to spend a significant amount of money on:
1) Urgent medical examinations and vaccinations by USCIS approved surgeon: $700. (Note: These were not covered by my medical insurance.)
2) New passport photographs; these needed to be less than a month old... so these had to be newly taken photographs
3) Notarization/ Courier charges: Approximately $100 (Some amount expended in foreign currency)
All of the money spent, as well as the time and efforts were rendered useless by the new bulletin on July 2, 2007, which I repeat, was published AFTER the window opened for new applications on the morning of July 2, 2007.
My point is, and I believe anyone with common sense would agree, it is only fair to expect a notice period before a reversal such as this one. Preferably... weeks of notice if not days! I am sure no US Citizen would accept anything less for a notice in such an important matter!
I would implore you to look into this matter as soon as you can, and request the USCIS to accept Adjustment of Status applications filed through July 2007.
Thank you.
Truly,
Name
Instead of "as soon as you can", you could use �at your earliest convenience�.

Sussie,
Your letter nor the proposed drft amendment to CSPA does not talk about the children of parents who applied their GC under employment based category and got stuck in the Labor Card approval stage for years and when labor got approved and I140 also got approved then again stuck due to Visa retrogression. We must include injustice being done to these children and should ask for retrospective amendment to CSPA to provide relief.
If you are in Illinois are you near enough to try and meet with Richard Durbin, he professes to caring about the children of illegal immigrants. Maybe he needs to put a face to a situation of the forgotten children of legal employment based adjustees to push him into realizing they even exist and he does them an injustice with his DREAM act.
I am a parent of an aged out child. It sucks, quite frankly. Never sure what to say to him when this issue is discussed. I would be happy to become more active on this issue.
How many of us are on this site, does anyone know. Each of us trying to work individually is not going to be as effective as a joint effort.

7) Bottomline now EB3 will move upwards till 2005 mid with first priority and EB
2 will also brought till 2005 mid but this will be done by moving Eb3 first as
it is already way behind.
EB2 will move to 2005, but not as fast as you think. See these IV polls:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6266
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6128
again a small sample and possibly statistically invalid; but 50% of people waiting for GC from EB2-India have PD < March_2005.
8) Once both EB2 and EB3 reches 2005 mid bench mark Eb2 will again
become faster with comparision to EB3.
why? Most people past 2005 have actively tried for EB2. Either by abandoning earlier filings and doing a fresh one in PERM, or by trying to recapture them.
In 2001 no one cared if your LC was filed in EB2 or EB3. From 2005 onwards people are actively looking for EB2.
