    Guys,

    This should not boomrang on us, let us do it with caution. Food Delivery etc can look mean.

    What we can think of is Sending your tax statements for 5 years to tell them how honest we have been and how much we contributed to economy..
    Sending it to local senators ?.

    What dou think ?

    Your router may have the problem.
    You need to buy a good router. Your phone is good with long range.

    WiFi is 2.4 GHZ.

    5.8 GHZ phone will have many disadvantages.

    The BEST choice for cordless phone for range, and lack of interfearance is a DECT phone.. the 1.9Ghz range is a licenced radio frequency for the exclusive use of cordless phones, unlike any other cordless phone frequency (900Mhz, 2.4Ghz, 5.8Ghz.) and as it is lower in frequency (aside from 900 Mhz) it operates with the furthest distance than any cordless phone.

    I am using DECT phone. It is mentioned as DECT 6.0

    is it same as 1.9GHz or different 6.0 GHz?

    Hi All,
    I am on a business trip to Chennai and I was interviewed for my H1-B renewal on Dec 6th 2007, unaware of the PIMS as it was not mentioned anywhere on the website that it will take this long to receive the passport. I was granted my visa within few minutes but till date (Jan 1st, 08) I have not received my passport. Was interviewed at the Chennai consulate. It has been heights of frustration as I had to spend all my Christmas holidays and New years at Chennai with all my fly being in US. I was supposed to return to US on Dec19th had to postpone my tickets to Dec 24th and then to Dec 29th. Now finally I have cancelled my tickets as it was costing me $200 every time I modify my itinerary.The US consulate, Chennai keeps on extending the processing time from 3 to 7 to 10 and it has been 15 working days already now, but still no passport in hand. Last week on Friday (Dec 28th) got an email that it might take additional 7 working days, huh ! Good thing is my company is in Chennai so atleast I can go to work or else it would have been really painful.
    Was anybody else interviewed at Chennai during that black week ??? with similar situation ?
    Good luck everybody.

    Multiple 485 and EAD filing

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hi,

    My wife and I both got our LC approved. She filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently for both of us in Nov.2006 (Nebraska Center), based on her LC. Then I filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently for both of us again in Jan,2007 (Texas Center), based on my LC.

    The EADs she applied got aproved pretty quickly. Several days ago, my EAD applications got denied. The denial reason is, we already have approved EAD.

    Originally our plan is: My wife will switch to a Finance related job soon (her LC is based on Software job), I will wait for GC. (The reason we still filed for multiple 485 and EAD is that we want to postpone the decision on who should wait for GC). Now I'm totally confused on whether she can use the EAD, and whether I can renew the approved EAD (because they are based on her application).

    Any inputs or clarifications will be greatly appreciated.

    I really don't know why someone would file the 485/EAD through the spouse when the spouse is planning to change the career field, and you know that you need to be in a similar job description to work on EAD. It almost seems like a no-brainer that the guy in this case should have filed for the 485/AP/EAD.

    To know the reason for that you simply have to see past visa bulletins to know how long 2001-March 2004 PD's have been current... the answer is: for a long time in late 2007 and mid-late 2008.

    Hello everybody,

    I was just wondering why only the people (Eb2-I) with priority dates from 2004 get their I-485 approved? why dont people from 2001, 2002, 2003 dont get their I-485 approved?.....just curious to see how does it work?

    Today got the magic e-mail Card/ Document Production . Looks like the SR submitted 3 days back worked in my case. Prior to my SR the IO said that they don't have FP cleared, I called FBI and confirmed that they sent back my FP's and in my SR I request the IO to input the details that I got from FBI, Looks like that did the trick.

    All the best for the folks who are waiting for approval.

    Can you please pass on the steps of contacting FBI for FP clearance. Thanks and Congrats.

    Called TSC using the POJ method. Office told me that my case was approved on 10/26 (today) and card production was ordered. Officer told me that I should recieve the card in 30 days or less.

    I checked the online status, it still shows the same status as 09/15/2007. There are no LUDs either. I didnt get any emails or text message on my phone.

    Has anyone experienced anything similar?

    Why cant for once something be smooth sailing for me? I will call TSC again around 4 PM (just to confirm from some other officer).

    The Test Framework application will provide a fully automated and configurable test infrastructure/environment to drive the F6 components through all required scenarios and conditions.

    The Ad says for client IBM Federal. Looks like might be for some federal projects that requries US Citizens. They could have mentioned need US Citizens with clearance, or people elligible to apply for clearance. May be the choice of words wasn't good... Regardless, this could occur more too... if the economy does not improve. Anyway, I think IBM should not have any problem with EAD and they themselves do sponsor GC, etc..

    I am also stuck in PIMS.. here are my details

    H1 renewal and change of employer
    H1 approved in March 2007
    Service center: WAC

    Visa appointment on Feb 11 at mumbai
    Documents submitted to VFS on Jan 28

    On feb 11 I went to consulate and it was a long wait.. overall it took 3 hours to finish everything. When I went inside they handed over my application to me and I noticed that "Not in" was written on my DS156 form on top right corner box. here is the communication with IO

    IO: so you are working for xyz company.
    me: yes
    IO: what are you doing for them
    me: explained my role and skills
    IO: are you working inhouse or at client place
    me: gave client name and details
    IO: till which date you are going to work for this client
    me: gave details
    IO: everything looks fine in your case but similar to what I have told everyone else due to the new system we need to verify your data and it will take about a week for that. (and then he wrote PIMS on my form)
    me: I have a return ticket on so and so date...... can I expect before that.
    IO: your case is pending only for the online verification unlike other administrative processing so it should take about a week so you should be fine.

    he then gave passport back with some envelop and also one yellow paper by selecting following option in that paper

    "when administrative processing is completed on your case, you will be contacted and requested to submit your passport, this letter and the accompanying envelope to the nearest VFS office."

    though he selected this option, he specifically wrote PIMS on my form.

    Note that PIMS problem was there for lot of cases on that day as he explicitly told me that he had to do this for lot of cases.

    I asked this question several times on all the threads that are discussing the new USCIS data, but no one seems to be answering this, but I think it is important to make sure this wrinkle is sorted out...

    When they say inventory of 485 apps.. by any chance does it mean only the 485 that has been pre-adjudicated? I wish that was not the case.. but these numbers are too small to believe otherwise.. I hope one of the doctors in USCIS VB Theory (and I know there are a whole lot of them here on this forum) can sort this doubt quickly by throwing some nice logic.. But I would like to hear that so I am convinced with the quality of thi spread sheet.

    Lou Dobbs Hears Radio Calling (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/05/arts/05arts.html) By JACQUES STEINBERG | NY Times, December 5, 2007

    The way Lou Dobbs sees it, people shouldn�t need basic cable to hear him sound off at length on issues like immigration and free trade. Mr. Dobbs said yesterday that he was creating a daily three-hour talk radio show that would run in the afternoons and conclude an hour before his nightly program on CNN, which begins at 7 p.m. on the East Coast.

    �My interest is in bringing a voice of reason, rather than the partisan and ideological poles that define talk radio right now,� he said in a telephone interview. Mr. Dobbs vowed that neither the right nor the left would be able to lay claim to him, with some conservatives who support his hard-line take against illegal immigrants breaking ranks with his opposition to free trade. �I consider both political parties to be tragic failures,� Mr. Dobbs said.

    United Stations Radio Networks, a private company that syndicates one-minute financial updates by Mr. Dobbs, is producing the program. Asked if any station had committed to carry it, a company spokeswoman said that it was only now starting its outreach.

    I had the misfortune of travelling thru London in December on my way to Mumbai. After I purchased my tickets, I learnt that I need a transit visa (TV) for UK. (Who is going to tell them (UK) that they are no longer the center of attraction esp. if you have lived and worked in US). Anyway, as per the rules, you need a transit visa if you don�t have a valid US visa. (Note: If you have AP, and don�t have a valid visa, you still need a TV).

    I went to their site and did all the research to get a TV. Good god Heavens! Has anyone filled out their painful form for a TV? Besides asking the usual details, they get extremely nosy. They want to know each and everything about you. Where you work, what money do you make, name of your wife, kids and their citizenship status, name of your father and mother and where they were born, their birth date, how much money you have and where the money is (stocks, bonds, CDS) etc. etc. While filling up the form I realized that, even my future father in law did not pose so many probing questions to me. (Please note: I don�t mind answering these silly questions for a regular visa, but for the damn TV, it is certainly overkill).

    Anyway to cut the long story short. The regular cost of TV is/was $92. However, when I filled up the application form they were asking for $184. (The satisfaction of getting a good deal on the tickets was quickly evaporating). I assumed I must have made a mistake in thinking the cost to be $92 and reluctantly paid $184. Next it was time to fill the application for my wife and answer the idiotic questions again. You should have seen the �I will kill you right now� look on my wife�s face after I woke her up in the middle of night and asked details about her parents. After I filled up the form, to my surprise, now they were asking $274 for visa fees. It was already 2:00 am and I have no choice but to painfully enter my credit card details, hoping that they would realize the mistake in their recon process and would reimburse the difference. (Of course, I was only dreaming).

    It is now almost the end of January and I have still now received any money from them. I have tried sending several email to the emb(ass)y, but none of their emails work. I get bounced email for all the emails that I have used. I have tried calling them and left messages and no one has called back. I have send emails to my credit card company and the people who processed the payment and none of them have been able to help me. There is a way to talk to someone in the emb(ass)y, but you need to dial a 900 number, which BTW costs $2.49 per minute. Throwing good money after bad is not an option.

    I just wanted to share this experience with you and remind you of the pain ahead, if you are travelling thru UK and don�t have a valid US visa. Personally, even if they had charged me the regular $92, I will still use other options to travel next time. The amount of time wasted in filling the crappy application form, going to NY, (starting Dec doing your finger prints) is simply too much to handle. Visiting your motherland/fatherland is a very special occasion and all these intermediate steps certainly water down the �good feeling� that you experience during the days leading to your trip.

    I haven�t given up my quest for a refund, but now, not only I want my money back I would like to bring back home the Koh-i-noor too.

    eb3_nepa,
    The whole idea of this campaign was to get media attention and publicize this issue as much as possible, which we all know that it did just that quite effectively despite all the apprehensions and reservations expressed.

    This campaing was never thought of as a panacea for all our problems, whether it will lead to a fruitful or POSITIVE result that is still unknown. What is known is that this drive has provided some much needed traction and attraction to our cause, which is the important RESULT at this point in my opinion.

    All I am trying to say is that we should give some thought and imagination before discounting or discarding an idea even if it appears to be far fetched at first. Any idea proposed which is out of the ordinary will be meted with reservations and oppositions, after all its nature's law that there is always resistance to change,:rolleyes: good or bad.

    I don't want you to be eating your words :D , I know for sure that you want this problem resolved as much as anyone else on the forum.:D

    Everyone has right to be SKEPTICAL and even I am SKEPTICAL about the final outcome of our over all struggle, but I wasn't SKEPTICAL about the outcome of this campaign.

    May the force be with you.:D

    Yes I was the one who suggested the dead fish. I belive in RESULTS, if sending these flowers actually ACHIEVES something, I will make a nice big biscuit of my words and eat them :).

    Until we see ACTUAL "POSITIVE" RESULTS I am still going to be skeptical. Sure we have made a lot of noise and it has been heard by a lot of miscallaneous people. So were the rallies held by the illegals. What happened? NOTHING! So until I see some results YES I will STILL be skeptical.

    Other than that, I really really really hope for everyone's sake, that this works and if it does I will eat my words and become a believer:)

    So much for being mum eh ;)

    ......You are NOT supposed to have immigration intent when you apply F1. .....

    Correct. You are right.

    One must not have immigration intent at the time of applying for F1 visa or entering USA using F1 visa. However, intent can change over time. Please google for 30-60-90 day rule.

    In fact, one can file for I-485 after 90 days of F1 visa status, if he/she is otherwise eligible.

    Thanks for putting your point of view. No more discussion from my side.

    Good Luck for your green card.
