Apahilaj,
I got the SR response letter saying I contacted them and they are responding by saying that I should wait for the FP if I have not received one yet. So basically I am where I was 2 months ago.
If you read my earlier posts, I did have doubts that FP and NC may have some connection together.
But I think this seems more of a glitch in the TSC system in generation of FP. I mean either its NC or glitch that is causing this delay. Anyway, the NSC at least generates one for you after you speak to an IO. We are unfortunate in that also.
Dingudi,
In your response letter, did they anywhere mention about biometrics or finger printing notice specifically? In my letter, they did not mention about finger printing at all...All they said that the decision on my case has been delayed due to ongoing background check...I am not sure if they even knew that I had opened up the SR for not receiving FP notice.
Yeah, I was thinking about your earlier post last night when I was reading the response letter..:) But I just can not subscribe to the idea that FP and name checks are even remotely connected...
Well, we just have to wait and watch...good luck to all the fellow sufferrers..

Eb3_Nepa,
You are quite mistaken if you think I am going to delete your post just because I disagree with you. One of the things that I love most about this country is the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment that protects free speech. I like the idea the everyone can voice their opinions as long as there are no physical threats or intimidation.
That being said, we run the risk of having a thread venting frustrations against illegals degenerate into an anti-Mexican thread. We have had a lot of publicity, and many reporters etc read our forum to get an idea of what we are about. They can very easily read one frustrated post from an otherwise reasonable member out of context and decide that we are a xenophobic group. I edited one comment from Santosh's post; and deleted a post of Bkam's. Bkam's post, frankly, was offensive.
As a side note, I have quite the same frustrations against the "perceived" better treatment that illegals get. If you look at our "Parity" memo where we found that undocumented workers can self-petition for green cards and we can't, I co-wrote it. But let us focus on the positives that we bring and move on.
Stucklabour, make no mistake. I totally respect the fact and the hard work done by the core group (urself included). I also respect the moderation aspect where, targetting any one particular community shud be removed at once. So to that effect i do agree with you removing some of the offensive looking posts.
However discussions about legals v/s illegals in the past have been simply removed by suggestions such as "they live in far worse conditions" and "do not denigrate any group". In my opinion when you say "denigrate" it is something to the effect of, "get rid of them all". Saying someone broke the law when they actually did, does not constitute "denigration" per se, & i really commend the fact that you did not delete my post. Thanks for the good job that you guys have been doing.

IV Core. Can something be done to highlight this issue in your conversation with authorities ?
The problem with this argument is it separates the members of the Family. If the marriage is occurred prior to approval of green card spouse will fall in EB category. If the marriage date is after approval of the green card it will fall into Family quota. See those guys who got married after green card and trying to bring their spouses how much trouble they are having. Instead of focusing on that You can Focus on the issue of making one EB visa number per family in case EB immigrant. Now Each one of the Spouse are using one number. That will effectively double the available visa numbers.

Guys one more perspective:
1) Employers are not in the business of litigations. Their business is to run the company. If you or the employers are talking lawsuits then one of you have crossed a red line. It is just that. No sensible person goes to the court knowing he has done wrong. I doubt an employer wants lawsuits. Just like you feel threatened by lawsuits, your employer also feels threatened by lawsuits.
2) Surabhi - nothing personal, but your post reflect how the ideal world should be. However world is not your way always.
3) I agree with acquarian, that it is very stressful if employer threatens to sue you. Also attorneys will charge you $200/ per hr. If someone is saying that attorneys recover money later etc, I say chill. Most attorneys would not do that. They like hourly rates. Its very difficuilt to find an attorney for free unless your case is slam dunk.
Why I suggested he apologize? Be humble. I did not say admit your mistake. I just said aplogize for employers grievance. If two simple words "I apologize" can get your job done, why waste time in attorneys court, etc?
Based on my past experience, I am telling you, you never know when you will need a past employer. You will not need your past client, I have been at atleast 10 client sites, I never needed a past client for something, but I always had to go back to my employers for something. They are like ex GFs or ex spouses and leaving a job is like divorce.
Where you will need your employer? When USCIS sends you an RFE to prove employment experience with XXX company. There is nothing in the law that forces employers to give you an experience letter unless he fired you. Now try getting a court order in 90 days to meet your RFE deadline
When you get a job in fortune 500 company or better opportunity after your GC, your future employer will want to talk to all employers in ur history. Ready for that? Want to give the number now or want to let the job go?
Thats why I am saying DO NOT fight with ex employers. You will get hurt more than the employer. Your ex boss is not a bad guy, he knows you are leaving for better opportunity. Since he remembers what you have done for him, a few kind words will solve the matter.
I needed one such reference in my past, I called and apologized to my former boss because if I didnt, he would not cooperate and nor I had time for years worth of lawsuits. It took about a month, but the matter was settled in my favour.
I agree with kshitijnt that you need past employer more than you need client. In my case I had received 485 query to supply some my employment related docs ( whether that I am working with responser or working with someone else, letter from company showing my current position,sal. etc). Since I didn't change my employer, it was very easy and quick to get such documents from current employer. Imagine if I would have switched on EAD then I would have to chase my past employer for letters, paystubs etc and by the I would got them from past employer,I faced the risk of PD moving back.

Another clause which dreads me ... "Waiver of Rights"
5. Employee also understands and acknowledges that there are other state and local human or civil rights laws as well as other statutes which regulate employment, and understands and acknowledges that the common law of contracts and torts may regulate employment in some fashion. Employee hereby waives and releases any rights he may have under these or any other laws or contracts with respect to his employment and termination of employment at the Company. He agrees to give up any claims he may have against the Company, alleging that they have (a) discriminated against him, (b) breached any contract with him, (c) committed any civil wrong (tort) against him, (d) sexually harassed him, or (e) otherwise acted unlawfully toward him.
>> Can there be agreements with open ended time periods
No. Usually agreements define maximum time period or a condition (whatever happens first).
Here is one example. An actor may agree that he won't sign any other role until this movie is completed or 12 months from the agreement date.
Not a legal advice.

I understand why you all are not favoring my call, since you all are EB2, EB3 is suffering because of no movement and huge backlog and EB2 is gaining because of Spillover, so you all are not favoring this. Anyway we are trying our best to get some relief for those hanging around with older priority date, let's see...

Miss obviously,
either you have a chicken heart or you are a silent partner of a blood s#$king deshi consulting.
kg318, this is your money and you earned it. Don't give these suckers any option to suck your earned money. Charging for GC process in any stage is totally illegal no matter which state you are from. It is DOL and USCIS policy not of a state.
I see some people trying to talk here in favour of employers straight or some times using curves. Remember kg318, there are members here who have consulting company ties and who here talks for them as well. Be judgmental.
kg318... from your initial post you indicated that you "demanded" money back and noted that Company A's practice was "against the law". Now, they are using the same law against you. Not saying it is fair or pretty. Just remember, what you sow, you shall reap.
It is generally poor practice to go for gung-ho activism in a situation where you are unclear about the law (e.g., non compete) and unable to get good counsel (e.g. immigration and business law attorneys).
Just keep this in mind. Long term, your peace of mind is worth more than $4K ... just think if there are other ways in which you could have handled this.... in case such event pop up again.
If I were you, I would have a civil conversation with that company. Tell them that economics took over empathy, that you wish to be in a position where you have less financial loss and would appreciate an amicable parting of ways.
It's a small world out there. Dont pi*s on anyone, lest it come back to wet your backside!
Sabre rattling might get you out of this one, but the world still remains a small place!

http://groups.yahoo.com/
While it is temptig to start an agenda item and group, I do not think time is right. You may end up too muchg attention in the bad economy and anti-immigrant atmostphere. It is better not to go on offensive and instead work on saving your job.

My understanding is after 180 days of 485 filing, even if the employer revokes the approved 140, the 485 application does not get affected if you apply AC21 and let USCIS know that you have changed employment and the job duties are similar. Is it true? or is there is any risk if employer revokes 140?

Any stratergic ideas, if positive news does not come out during the lame duck session?
I did not know it takes 90 days; that is too long a period of time. But nobody is hopeful of the bill getting passed during the lame-duck session.

The immigration debate for legal immigrants and illegal immigrants with substantial presence in the USA has been raging for 2 years now. Reforms consistently went through Senate but got stuck in the house. Last year has been most painful and has brought matters to a tipping point. Therefore, I conclude that after the elections things have to settle down - this matter cannot be up in the air any longer. Either we get formally and bitterly screwed or some relief pops out in the next 2-3 months.

Shouldn't IV ammend the text of the email to better reflect the negative impact of the Bernie Sander's ammendment ? The Senators (who are known for not often reading voluminous legislation in detail) may have voted with their hearts for this ammendment thinking this was going to help students in their states. I think IV members who are their constituents should have a means of letting their Senators know the effect of their actions and for those who voted against it they should be congratulated for voting against this harmful ammendment. They may have thought of this as win-win situation. Yet they may have not known the following points (read the study its detailed):
http://www.nfap.com/pdf/0507brief-business-immigration.pdf
U.S. businesses pay over $91 billion a year in state and local taxes directed toward public education, while the mandated scholarship and training fees U.S. companies pay for each H-1B professional hired are approaching $2 billion since 1999, according to this National Foundation for American Policy analysis. These findings undermine the argument that companies should not be permitted to hire international students and other foreign nationals on skilled visas unless they do more to support U.S. education.
For example Bernie Sanders spent his time barraging Microsoft and used quotations from Microsoft executives to argue for the $5000 fee for H1-B filings. Had other Senators been educated on how the H1-B program has benefitted the US economy they would have reconsidered their positions :
The figures presented in this analysis show the argument against H-1B visas further falls apart when examining the already substantial taxes, fees, and charitable contributions made by U.S. companies. The Gates Foundation alone, funded by Microsoft stock, has contributed $3 billion to U.S. public education since 1999.
