What was 245(i) amnesty?...just curious
Section 245(i) is a part of the INA. In 2001, this section was updated to allow people present illegally to submit a labor certification. This resulted in the DOL getting 6 years worth of applications in April 2001. These applications led to the establishment of the Backlog Elimination Centers and the PERM process. The applications filed 6 years ago are still being processed by the DOL.
Btw if you do not support DREAM ACT than you shouldn't be on this forum...
At this point I am neutral on the DREAM act. Before I can support the DREAM act you need to prove how it helps children of legal immigrants. I suspect there is more to your story than you are letting on. If you are 21 now, you would have been 19 in 2005 and well able to understand the consequences of becoming an illegal immigrant. As someone said the F1 was an option if you wanted to maintain legal status.

Hi Shirdibaba,
Can you copy and paste the exact letter, i mean to ask the exact letter means does it contain any agent id.
1. Did you opened any SR in TSC around 10/14 or 10/15, We have a group of people who had the same problem in TSC during those days. all the letters replied by the same agent.
2. Find out from attorney if he charges any fee for this. If so please don't go with him.
take an info pass and find out the details.
This is the best way to find out. (As i told you the group of people got the same response, most of them took info pass and found that nothing wrong in their case)
Nothing to worry, most of the cases it might be a mistake by the agent. or in some cases it is pending for minor verification.
This is my guess.
Since Visa number is not available USCIS is using the term "Inadmissible at this time" That means simply not approvable because PD is not current.
When we got our green cards they use to stamp the passport with seal "Admitted on "

Go read the posts on the other website, and you will see how important it was to counter this guy's posts that were raising basic doubts about IV.
To have prompt responses is extremely important! If you brush aside negative comments from 'male buffalos' and not counter them - we will never be able to get them into action!
Anyway, however clumsy my efforts, I could not just sit and watch & not try to get doubts addressed.
Mercies there is a bit of a difference in getting ur doubts addressed and ur post. Once again i didnt mean any offence to you in particular, just was upset by the sheer length and attack in ur post.

"Long Journey. Finally GC
by J2GC
Hi Guys,
After a long journey of more than Sixteen years in this country, I finally received my GC.
In short, I came in 1993 on J-1 for my training which took six years, followed by one year on O-1 visa and then J-1 waiver for three and half years in underserved area. Then applied for labor certification in Oct, 2003 EB2, through university, which was approved and then retrogressed. Applied Schedule IIA, approved but also got retrogressed. Got AILA liaison and Senetor involved.
Applied for EB1 and NIW in July 2008.
My lawyer was very much involved in the whole process, was very helpful at every step, and wrote letters to USCIS.
Finally, GC came in April, 2009 and received the cards one week later. My PD Oct 2003.
During these time, I actually had no problmes at my job or my my wife's job. Brought a house four years ago.
The main problems were:
Daughter and son could not apply to state colleges/ medical colleges. (daughter going to med school next month)
Got stuck in India for renew of H-1 for 2 months!!! (worst time of my life, with my wife and kids in US) I tied every thing from writing letters to calling Ambasador. Not effective.
Could not go to certain occasions, like death of very close family members, weddings etc.
However, I kept my cool and prayed and got lot of support from Immigration voice.
As a small token of appreciation, I am donating $500 .(and will keep on supporting)
We all are going to get GC, some sooner some later. Just keep on doing you job.
Thanks you all for all the information and support.

This discussion scared me now.
I came in US on 06/03/2001. When I came I was told, no project for me right now and I have to wait. I waited till 09/11/2001 WITHOUT pay.
The first time I was on my company payroll was in 09/11/2001. Since then as of today I am working continously.
AM I IN PROBLEM?
Please comment and give me hope.

I did not get a receipt, without that how can i think of GC?
There are only 2 possibilities - you get RN or you don't get RN
1) You get RN. Congrats you got your - rather overpriced - lottery ticket. Winning the lottery is still far off. Considering 300,000-500,000 apps and 140,000 numbers, chances of winning it soon is as slim as the chance of getting struck by lightning. You might as well laminate it and hang it on the wall.
This will be the only piece of notice we will be seeing for many more years. Unless, of course enough of us get over our collective OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) over RNs and concentrate of real-life action.
Moral of the story : RN is a lottery ticket. Keep it safe. But, don't mistake it to be the prize.
PARTICIPATE.
2) You don't get RN/or Rejected. My sympathies. Your ONLY CHANCE to get RN in the foreseeable future is to end backlogs/retrogression. That wouldn't be possible if YOU didn't participate in the rally. Please don't participate in the rally if you choose to wait 5-7 years, for your next chance to apply.
Don't count on another July 2. It was a flash in the pan caused due to one-upmanship b/n DOS and USCIS. I'm sure both have learnt their lessons well to stage a repeat.
Moral of the Story: Your only chance is if IV succeeds [ because there's no one else interested in you - Highly Skilled or otherwise]
PARTICIPATE.
I filed 485. now why should i care?
You SHOULD care. Because you didn't file 485 just for the heck of it. You filed it to get a GC, and to get a GC - ASAP.
I hate you break your day dreams, chum, but that's not likely to happen for a decade more.
Unless You CARE. About -
a) your CAREER that will remain stagnated
b) EARNING OPPORTUNITIES lost as a result
c) your FAMILY that's the victim of your procrastination
You know whom to blame when you
1) Finally look at a posh home , few years down the line, one that you cannot afford
2) Your kid cannot pay attend a good college and get a good degree, because you cannot afford it.
3) many more regrets....
Dang! If only you had spent 100-300 bucks in the September 18th of 2007 and walked two miles with the others. If you you were not so penny-wise and pound-foolish. Sadly, regrets don't change the reality.
I'm not saying Sep 18th will change the present. It may or it may not. But at least we tried. Even if, God forbid, we fail there's the satisfaction of having tried.
To quote a rather famous Hindi/Urdu saying - Only those that ride the horse (warriors) fall. And not those that grovel on their knees (mental slaves). It is for each of us to decide whether we wish to ride, or we wish to grovel. That's the decision each one of has to make for his/her self. No one else can do it for you.
If you choose to grovel, I give you a friendly advice. You're groveling in the wrong place. If only you were groveling in Saudi Arabia - where goveling would be much appreciated, may be the sheikh might throw in a extra dinar or two - you'd be earning twice as more ( typically 1 Saudi Dinar = 2 dollars).
no jaime, there are excuses:
i did not get a receipt, without that how can i think of GC?
i filed 485. now why should i care?

How about anyone with a US Masters no matter if it was obtained before filing the GC or just last month? Almost everyone I know has got some US masters in the meantime over the past 5-7 years. The queue will not move if the provision just includes a degree. In fact a lot of EB3 India would benefit since most of us got a masters in the meantime even if it was something like some MBA or information systems management.
Sure the queue will be shorter if people with masters got a GC just as it will be if all spillover goes to the most waiting applicant first, not to mention it will be fairer.
So essentially this talk about US masters is just a self-serving way to jump the queue. There is no crab mentality here. Just trying push ones own importance using any pretext whatsoever.

very well said goel.. I said the same thing to IV and I got God knows how many reds. The only time I saw a huge impact was after July fiasco but again it was not IV's alone effort, many other organizations were included.
Honestly IV is a great platform to help members with their questions and exchange knowledge about immigration topics but nothing more.. I don't expect the founders to leave their full time jobs to address immigration issues as without a job they won't have any immigration issues.
To people who say that illegals have huge support and resources that is because they have lobby money from businesses who need cheap labor, lawyers who need new clients and politicians who need (future) votes..
In our case business know that first we are not any cheap and second they can move the jobs overseas.. Lawyers already know that they have us by the b***s and politicians flip - flop depending on who they talk to (citizens or us).
I think I have joined IV in last 3 years or so...
Donated money once & have called congressmen & senators many times ...
Could someone please tell me -
What has been achieved by IV till date? I know we all meet elected reps, officials in washington dc ..... but I am interested in end result like not wasting visa numbers , implementing spillover & along these lines.
I have asked few friends to join IV but then if they ask me for IV accomplishments - i can't count any....

Guys from Ohio, pl respond thru pm or thru this open forum..
This has also been sent thru newsletter. If you did not get the newsletter, then update your profile here and check to see if your email address is correct.
Meet your Legislators:
Immigration Voice plans to organize a nationwide meet-the-lawmaker drives in every state and every district. Two of our volunteers � Varsha and Sanjay � would be helping us to organize this. If you would like to meet with your lawmakers during this recess, then please email Varsha and Sanjay at varsha@immigrationvoice.org and sanjay@immigrationvoice.org respectively and simply put �Need Meeting Info� in the subject line of Email. They will send you all the information that you need on seeking the appointment, taking the right material with you, making a good case for reform and doing the follow-ups if necessary.
Feel free to ask Varsha and Sanjay for any other questions that you have. They have met with their Congressmen and Senators a few times and they would be glad to help you do the same thing in your state and district.
A Perfect Opportunity:
This is the perfect time to meet the lawmakers, as they would be in their constituencies just before they go back to work on Immigration this spring and summer. In order to capitalize on this opportunity, it is very important that everyone meet with his or her legislators locally during this Easter recess of Congress. The members of the House will be in their districts between 2nd April and 13th April. The members of the Senate will be in their states between 2nd April and 9th April.
Please use the time between now and the Easter recess to seek appointments to meet with your Congressmen and Senators in order to draw their attention on the need for reform in high-skills immigration.
Thanks,
Immigration Voice.
