Can you please answer the following questions?
1. What led to this interview? Did they schedule the interview or you took an infopass appointment?
2. When IO reviewed your case, did they look at your physical I-485 file? Did the service center transfer your case to the USCIS office you went for the interview?
Wish you luck.

Didn't this already addressed by law? Substitute labor is a "stopped" deal. Whatever left is the "que" is old mess, which will be cleared out eventually. Is there a better suggestion you have to clean the old mess?

Dude, i dont even know who GCStatus is. If you want i can give my IP address. Dont spread false news here, saying that GCStatus and I are the same and we are sending message from Same Machine. Here is my IP Address 192.168.1.2 and I live in Pittsburgh. If you want, I can give you my I-485 receipt number for you to verify that Iam not GCStatus. If you want to talk to me, let me know, I will give my phone number. Now dont tell me, We are same person but different voice. lol... ( FYI.. that was a joke ).
Again, I dont know who the hell GCStatus is.
Thanks
MadhuVJ
madhuvj or GCStatus,
Thanks for your suggestion. But the problem is its not that simple. Here is why. If the same individual create multiple IDs on IV and post using multiple IDs, one for posting derogatory comments and others that are not derogatory, we can keep mum to a point, but then it just gets too frustrating. Like in this case, madhuvj and GCStatus is the same person posting from the same machine but posting as if you are two different individuals. Hence my posts. Please stop this and email/pm us your phone number and we will start the transition process. We are sure you will do a better job than us.
You see, just like everyone else, we also have limited number of hours in a day. We can either spend our time looking at who is using multiple forum ids to post similar messages creating a false impression for other forum visitor, like the one projected in 'if i can be blunt' thread, or we can spend our time doing better things. Your actions are not helping anyone including yourself. Hope you understand.

Mr hpanday..
I understand your feelings and of the person who is going through this. But to all calm down and think. The parents have made a mistake.(My friend has such kind of nanny too who is here on a visitor visa but she is not like this and I do not blame these parents too for hiring one like this)
Some say they should go to the cops, use (U Visa) etc ..but when you go to the cops they will take her in and ask her information (SSN and stuff) and when they find that she is not legally eligible to work then what will the parents have to go through now.
The Social Services is different from immigration (True) but Social Services will take away the baby from the parents because they have committed a federal offence and they are not capable of taking care of the baby.
This is what happened with my cousin. My niece fell down from the stairs and was hurt real bad. When my cousin took her to the hospital the hospital authorities called social services saying that they are not taking care of the baby and are harming the child. The family doctor who was paged saved them by giving his gaurantee.
First it is a federal offence and irresposibility will cause them a price.
(To the parents: Sorry sir I do not mean to say that you are irresponsible but
this is what they might say)
Please take extra precaution when you are dealing with a minor.
I just wanted to share this with you and it is up to you to take the correct action you think
And as I said before knowing about child abuse and not notifying the cops is a bigger crime than hiring an illegal alien . In this case the child depends upon you for protection and you know about the abuse but you are considering whether to notify the cops or not !
This can come back on you itself in case someone else notifies the police ( your friend maybe ? ) The Department of Social Services is very strict in this country and I believe your child is a US citizen considering that he is only 8 months old ( most probably ).
How can you think of not getting justice for your child who cannot defend himself and not get justice himself. If he could speak believe me he would want to see the nanny in prison.

First, deecha, and VZLAN you are brave men..hope you get through. When the immigration system is so arcane, you cannot blame yourselves
===============
next, I am in a similar 'somewhat out of status' position myself. i am filing for i-140/i485
I have been with the same employer since Jan 2004, and have every pay stub since then. However during some time in 2006, the company was in deep trouble, management takeover etc. and we were only paid for time spent on a major project (which was the cash cow). Because i was not directly involved in it, I was paid at about 50%, but every week, which lead my final W2 for 2006 to be around 76% of the total on the LCA. I looked at my paystubs and the total weeks at less than 100% is 5 months.
For 2004, 2005 and 2007 (on course) I am on course for my full salary. Also I got a bonus and stock options as the project took off and we are all in a better shape and my 2007 W2 should be higher.
Before 2004, I was a student on a F1 (MS degree) with one h1 in the bad days of 2002. However, my change of status was on the dot.. i.e. i got laid off on a friday and i filed my change of status to f1 the same day. My h1 visa was stamped in 2004 in India. My H1 was extended in early 2007
I am filing a self-sponsored I140. So, my question is:
1) Should I wait for 2008/whenever to file my i485 and hopefully show one year w2 and try to see if that goes through?
2) Try to convince my employer to pay me the back wages for 2006 (they may agree) in lieu of some future pay cut or paid out vacation or trade my stock options. File an amended return with a new 2006 W2 (what are the risks of an audit??)
3) Try to wait till 2008, stamp my visa extension and then file for i-485 showing only 2007 w2.
-=====-=-=-====-
Please send me your perspectives.
Please see one of the replies I have above in response to another post. You employer could not pay you, but it is not your fault. If a RFE comes up, you can file affidavits to that effect. You have to consult a good lawyer.
If you are not going to be leaving the US, you shouldn't have to worry about the H1 stamp because you should be getting a new I-94 with your H1 extension approval notice.

GCStatus and MadhuVJ:
Looks like you guys have decided to fight with Admin2.
To some extent, Admin2 deserves this punishment. He spent just little 60,000 US dollars to fight for all of us. Yes, it is Sixty Thousand dollars. Whenever he goes to DC to meet lawmakers and/or Lobbyists, he spends money from his own pocket for stay and car rental. He desrevs so much beating from us for spending so much time, money and enegry for the community.
Even Pappu should be punished for spending too much time on this site wihtout concentrating on his day job.
If you both are logging from SAME company, though you are using different laptop/desktop, the IP address polled will be same for external though you have different IP internally.
If you guys have worked on DC rally, you would have come to know the great spirits of Admin2. One day he called me at 10.30 PM when I was almost sleeping to request me if I can attend an immigration meeting in Princeton University, NJ. I was sleeping and he was making calls. Who would have been benefitted? YOU and ME and NOT Admin2.
There are already several threads with EB3/EB2. All of us have our own day time jobs. Let us knot focus on fighting among ourselves. Let us not even fight with USCIS. What we want is that lawmakers and USCIS should understand our problems and make them realize that US will benefit by giving us GC's and not vice versa.
In the past 2 years, I have just 50 postings. All of them are either confirming calls to law makers or contributions. This I am writing to plead you stop these fightings. We have had enough in the past 2 years.
Thanks for understanding.
Please try to understand. We are not fighting. He just thinks we are same when we arent. We are here for the same cause. We want to be united. I dont know what these red and green dots mean but all i know is from 4 green it has turned into 4 reds. Its unfortunte.

I am starting to see a trend in the receipt notices.
Some of the people reporting getting recepit notices this week (yesterday and today) have LUDs of 07/28/07. My thinking is that This week will see receipt notices for everyone with an LUD of 07/28/07
HOPEFULLY next week will see receipt notices for 08/05/2008. This is just my observation.
People please post your LUDs for your I-140, the service center AND how your receipt numbers start (SRC vs LIN) each time you post a receipt notice.
I dont know if that is true. I saw LUD on my I-140 on 08/05 and my 485 was received by USCIS on July 16th. I am not expecting my receipts next week.

But do understand one thing. We want to pass these stories to senators and media folks to show them how badly messed up the system is. If you really want to help, please send me by email a decent (no *&^% ;-) ) version of your story. Only then we can really use it!
Again, do not get me wrong. I totally understand your frustration and can fill up an entire page myself with obscenities at the utter incompetency and malicious intent of employers/lawyers. But will it do any good? Probably serve as a vent for my frustrations but not much beyond that!
So do yourself a favor and send me a detailed email with all the info mentioned in the first post and we will make sure we add it to the list of stories that we pass on to the senators!

Probably he explained in a much better way than i' d have explained. Spent 7 years on H1B, caught up in retrogression. I specialize in what is called as Rational Unified Process,train and mentor the application development teams.I've worked for a telecom company (one of the top 3 in USA), got laid off, started the journey again. Presently working for another frontline Financial Services company in the world. Recently, some of my work (with my permission) was included as a practical example for students in an university in St.Louis. however, i was not allowed to teach because of my legal status and constraints of H1B.
Even though it's painful to me, it's much more loss to the students who otherwise would have learned something valuable and make a difference in their careers
As a matter of fact, one of my colleague also applied in the same day, same attorney, same EB3, working for the same telecom company with exactly same designation but applied from Missouri, where as mine was applied in Kansas. He got his green card inspite of the layoffs, where my LC was not approved till today. (in 2002, some cases filed in MO were approved much quicker compared to Kansas) A classical example of how there is no justice &the current system is broken
I don't know if it brings any value here, but thought of sharing this
In the words of the person who sent this to me
I moved to the US on a H1 visa, from India 7 years ago. I have a Bachelors in Engineering and a Management degree as well. I work in the areas of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. An area of expertise that helps corporations here in the US become competitive and stay competitive. Among other benefits, my work aids businesses in making informed operational, tactical and strategic decisions and gain competitive advantage.
With this retrogression, It is going be several years before USCIS will even get to my file to adjudicate. While I understand a green card is not my right, I think I have worked towards it for a long time now. I am in this country legally, paying taxes, contributing to this economy, spending my earnings in this country like any other law abiding American citizen.
I have legally asked this country and USCIS for Permanent Residency (PR). My request for PR is not based on the premise that my parents/relatives live here and are citizens in this country. I am not even asking for Permanent Residency because of the country I come from. I am asking for Permanent Residency based entirely on my educational qualifications, professional expertise and the demonstrated contributions I have made to businesses and the American way of Life.
I have also been accepted as an Instructor at a reputed University in California where I will be teaching in my area of expertise. This clearly helps the American society and Industry.
When I moved to the US, I believed America is all about meritocracy. Work hard, prove your worth and you get what you truly deserve. I feel six years is enough time to prove your worth to get a Permanent Residency.
My tax returns, my legal Status documents, my contributions to this economy etc will prove it. What is really disconcerting is the fact that, now I have to continue to wait for I don't know how many more years for USCIS to even look at my credentials, let alone give me an up or down decision. Mind you this wait is not because of any delays attributable to me.
Is this fair ?
If you think you don't need me, at least tell me, in a reasonable period of time. Please do not make me wait indefinitely.

Let us all refrain from using bad language. America prides itself on its freedom of speech. Everybody has the right to speak their mind, but let us be mindful of how we say it!
For all those of you who are ticked off by Sherman and the likes, please come to Washington DC on the 18th and prove them wrong. If we speak loud enough, we will be heard.
See you all at DC on the 18th!
Agreed. The only way to answer this is to be present at the DC rally.

Advocacy day is going well. There are about 300 meetings being planed between today and tomorrow. Its very hectic in the situation room.
This afternoon USCIS Ombudsman came to meet us in the situation room and spoke with the members. More details and pictures will be posted soon. Stay tuned.
This is one of the most important event conducted. I feel bad that I couldn't attend in person.
Kudos and special thanks to everyone who made this happen.
