I doubt we can threaten to get sanctions passed on Exceed .. i dont think we have the political clout for that. All we can do for now is plead, reason and educate senators of the unfair treatment we get from the broken immigration system. If our membership keeps growing to a point where we represent most of the affected legal immigrants at the mercy of USCIS (close to half a million), then its a different story, not to mention if we had the numbers and political clout of the illegals. Just my opinion.
You see to carry out negative publicity of Exceed corporation we donot need to represent the whole immigrant group...We are publicizing well known facts and create headache for Exceed...so that they speed the work up...The only incentive they can have at this point is possibility of more work...And that is where our points would really get across..We donot even have to go talk to any senators...The implicit danger of negative publicity for Exceed is our weapon..!!!!
More commects please...!!

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate you replying to this. it certainly relieves some of my stress.
Cheers
I can understand your concerns. A few years back we had similar questions and concerns when my MIL travelled. She was old and had never travelled alone before. Could not speak any english either. We thought it was best for her to travel with wheelchair assistance and it worked good. She has travelled twice ( on lufthansa) with no issues.
One thing we did to help her was give a covering letter that she could present to the airline staff which would explain her needs if any while travelling. We also prepared and gave her several flash cards (one liners) written in both the local Indian language alongwith the English translation for her to communicate if she needs anything on the flight.
Non -verbal communication works well sometimes. It worked for us.

Folks,
How are the taxi charges from Chennia airport to the town or station ? Do the drivers charge whatever they feel like or is it controlled?
My parents are leaving back from the US and will be landing in Chennai, they are not from Chennai....so not sure if I should try to book a taxi before hand...or the charges are controlled ? Also, do they have something like pre-paid taxi ?
The flight (emirates) lands at 3 or 4 am.
Also, any recomendations for Hotels ? Ideally near the railway station.
Thanks in Advance !!

Hi,
I am currently in the 6th year of my H1B. My visa is going to expire in at the end of December. Is it too late for me to start applying for the green card? If it is not too late, what is my status going to be after December if I do apply for the green card now? Also, I have heard that I have to apply a year before my visa expires, is it too late now? Please help! Your response is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Keith
it's not too late. ask your lawyer to get labour thru perm. it'll take about 2 months and then you can do I140 in premium which takes 15 days. you can then get a 3 yr extension.

Hi,
Can you tell the name of the insurance company? My in-laws are planning to come here and I will be buying insurance for them. I will stay away from this company.
How can high-fever be considered as pre-existing condition? I though diseases such as diabetes, cancer, etc are pre-existing conditions. Right?

I-140 approval with 6/06 as PD for EB2. But the notice says that the information submitted with the petition shows that the individual may not be be eligible to file for AOS at this time. Additional information about eligibility may be obtained from local INS office?? Is this how the approval should state
Do not worry.
At the time of approval your PD was not current, which is until Jume 30.
After July 1 you can apply for AOS.

Since you are in tight spot, you need to consult good and experienced lawyers.
Do not go to an ordinary lawyer for this.
Consult good lawyers such as SHUSTERMAN Immigration Attorneys, Consultation with an Immigration Lawyer, IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES: THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE, U.S. Immigration. Written by a Former INS Trial Attorney (1976-82) with Over 30 Years of Immigration Law Experience. Law Offices of (http://shusterman.com), Murthy, Khanna, Ron Gotcher Welcome to the Immigration Information (ImmInfo) main page. (http://imminfo.com/)
You are in a pretty tight spot my friend. I think a lawyer is the best person to answer these questions since you are walking a very fine line here. I dont want you to rely on advice on this forum and then later find out that you were out of status and that triggers another set of challenges to deal with later. So consult a lawyer and see if he/she feels that you can stay back in US pending H1 approval. Else I would advice moving out for 1 Yr and starting things on clean slate.

... US is an English speaking nation although people from all parts of the word live here. We have to abide by the common language which is English and not Spanish. ...
This statemet has narrow sprit of English Only Movement (English-only movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-only_movement)), where as US is much broader (Languages of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_in_the_United_States)). Many states and citizens won't agree.

Thanks for your response. I'm leaning more towards Canada as I can avoid travel with my baby to India.
Do you think they might reject the case for any reasons?
How long do I have to stay in Canada if in case it's approved?
Thanks
Sudha

Hello fellow IV members,
I am hoping to port to a new job using AC21. I contacted my attorney with various questions about the process, but she told me that she can not respond to my questions because she represents me as well as the current company I work for. For those of you who are looking to port or have already done so, did you face a similar situation - where your attorney could not advise and assist you through the process of porting? How did you resolve this situation? Did you have to find another attorney to help you with porting to a new job?
Thanks for your help.
What kind of help are you looking for?? Its all in the IV forums about AC21... You need nothing... If you think your employer may revoke your approved I-140.. then you need to inform USCIS of your using AC21 to do a job change... If your I-140 is not approved yet.. you need to wait...
All the needed details would be in AC21 threads...

If you are not using EAD why renew it? Unless you are one of the people who applied under the new scheme (free EAD and AP for life), you are just wasting $340 + $305 = $645 (per person).
You can easily wait till you move to new place before applying - if at all you want to apply. If your EAD & AP have expired, I am not sure if the new EAD/ AP will be considered as a "new" application or a "renewal".

add72 is correct, the indian economy is not dependent on the IT outsourcing business any more.
If you research more you will find that Tata steel is currently one of the largest steel makers in the world after acquiring corus.
Infosys might aquire capgemini/ernst and young soon making it to compete directly with IBM and EDS for high level consulting business
Chrysler might be sold to tata motors
etc etc
Earlier goverment policy was inhibiting indian businesses in india as well as globally
Now the policy is changing and indian business are thriving both at home and internationally.
They are looking to hire the top talent paying top money.
Thats why its in the indian govt's interest that the GC / immigration process is skewed up here :) so that its best people come back and paricipate in the economy back home

Hi oaktree,
My PERM was also denied in end of 2006. The lawyers files a Motion To Review (MTR) also called as Request for Review (RFR) i.e appeal of the denial. This got approved in december 2007 - It took almost one year. I could however maintain my priority date because of the successful appeal.
My company's lawyers were certain that the denial was in error and hence they filed MTR.
Is there anyway of taking advantage of the old priority date application that was denied with a new application.
If you make a new PERM application you cannot use your old priority date.
Speak to your lawyers to see if the denial was in error and if they r 100% sure that it was in error then apply for a MTR - it will take about a year to get processed tough. At least with this (i.e if it is possible) you can make a attempt to save your priority date.
I am not sure whether you can make a fresh PERM app WHILE your MTR/appeal is in process - but post this question on different boards and if you can then well and good.
Dear Attornies,experts
My perm was denied recently because "The wage listed in the SWA job order is less than the wage offered to the foreign worker", It took DOL almost one and half years to determine this after a business necessity audit. I am going to start a new application now. What are my chances for an appeal by providing corrected supporting documents, can I apply a new application while an appeal is in progress..
Can I have multiple PERM applications from multiple employers at the same time, with different position titles?
Is there anyway of taking advantage of the old priority date application that was denied with a new application.
I almost lost 2 years in priority date because of this denial...
Please suggest...

Yep..not to worry..just go there on the date of appt..they'll just ask you to come back when the finger heals...I cut my finger...officer made a notation on my form and asked me to come when it heals..I went after a month and got it done
DO they tell you to reschedule the appointment or just ask you to come with FP notice by doing walk-in after it heals. Also do they put a note in their system that you could not give the FP because of so and so reason. Also anyone knows what Boston ASC does , whether they permit walk-ins during the week.
You said you went after a month, so I assume that they must have noted that you did appear for the FP but could not do it.
Sorry if I am sounding a little desperate but I just want to get this over with the right way without any hassles.

My friend's father-in-law, a retired Indian army personnel, was able to obtain a visitor's visa to US and he did come and stayed with him for about 3-4 months. So, in short, retired Indian army personnel can get a visitor's visa and travel to US without any trouble.

Have already done that.
I want to contact Janet specially because I went to school in AZ and in 2002 elections - I was a part of her campaign at the University supporting her.
Not that I have any proof of it but I had just joined some friends for it - hence I thought would be good to be able to meet up with her.
I work in Chandler. I am ready to go with you.
