Dear Vamsi, SVK, NK, Shahuja, Abuddyz, and all eligible visa aspirants:
I just got an email from the Chennai consulate, 29th day from the interview, stating the visa was stamped today:
"Thank you for your e-mail.
Our records show that your visa was issued today, January 31. You
should be receiving your passport/visa soon.
Visa Information Unit
American Consulate General
Chennai 600006, India
Telephone: 91 44 2857 4242
Fax: 91 44 2811 2027
Website: http://chennai.usconsulate.gov"
This means there is light at the end of the tunnel. Please have faith in your abilities, and in your God. You will hear back soon.
Moral of the story: "Never use a Consulate in India for visa re-validation again."
Please learn from this story, and never again trust Consulates in India for extension purposes.
God bless you all.:)
How do you know that experience in Canada or Mexico will be any different from experience in India? It can be only better at a consulate that hasn't yet implemented PIMS, which I don't think there are any at this point. At least you are at home with family. I think the worst is to be stuck in Canada or Mexico for a month. I think the moral of the story is to use AP whenever possible.

All,
Pls have one or two brief explanations of our plight and solution ideas on chage.gov to be voted by all in the community.
i have received this email from change.gov, and believe that the new administration can bring change for us:
{We wanted to tell you about a new feature on Change.gov which lets you bring your ideas directly to the President.
It's called the Citizen's Briefing Book, and it's an online forum where you can share your ideas, and rate or offer comments on the ideas of others.
The best-rated ones will rise to the top, and after the Inauguration, we'll print them out and gather them into a binder like the ones the President receives every day from experts and advisors. If you participate, your idea could be included in the Citizen's Briefing Book to be delivered to President Obama. }

I have a couple of very urgent questions that I want to check with you folks:
I am currently in the US on L1 Individual visa - my current visa is expiring on the 10th of March. My employer filed for a fresh L1 Blanket Visa instead of doing an extension because I have to be in India for a few days in March anyway. My visa interview is on the 11th of March.
My first question is: Is this alright? Am I going to have any problems because I did not extend my visa and applied for a fresh one instead? I have just been in the US for 5 months in my current visa.
Second question is related to PIMS:
I have had 3 L1 visas till date - first one was stamped in 2003. Second in 2005 and my current one in 2006. I have never overstayed and I was out of the US for 13 months before I came on my current visa in Oct 2007.
Will I face any delays due to PIMS when I go for stamping on Mar 11? I plan to be back and rejoin work on the 18th of March.
Is PIMS delaying folks only in case of L1/H1 extensions? Looking forward to your help and guidance. Thanks a lot.

Politicians are politicians every where. India or USA their intensions are the same. Always cause a trouble to the ruling party, no mercy for the general public who suffer directly with their actions.
Shutdown means no work for 800k fedaral employees. Hence no wages. But bills won't stop.
Hope for the best.
Fringe Warning Start---
I am not into conspiracy theories, but this one sounds like one, i.e. Mr. Oppenhemer (not sure about the spelling), announced major advances to the EB 2 I queue in the last week of March, now did he know the government was shutting down ?, possibly, well if the Govt shuts down, all visa offices/ Passport / Immigration offices shutdown, so let us say if the dates do advance considerably, and voila the Govt shuts down, well most of the folks will be current but unable to file for change in status due to shutdown, and when the Govt comes back up so will the visa numbers retrogress. I hope I am totally wrong, but you never know.

Without legislative or administrative reform, EB3-India would be reduced merely to a mechanism which folks would use to extend their H1Bs indefinitely on the basis of the underlying I-140, or a means to lock a priority date while they plan their strategy for an EB-2 petition for a PD port in the future. As some analysts have predicted, EB3-India wait times might get extended to decades without some sort of reform. Not to make light of the situation, but for an EB3-I applicant with a recent PD, the odds of getting a green card through a US-born child (once they turn 21) could become greater than through their own EB application.
"interfiling" to use old EB3 PD for new EB2 is not the easiest path for EB3-I guys specially if they have used AC21 and work on EAD now ( Most of us are in this category). Priority date porting is not an issue, USCIS does not have a problem with that. The problem is with "Job definition and level". While one use AC21 claims job position matching EB3 job classification and if there no enough progression gap between AC21 usage and "inerfiling" It becomes hard for a lawyer to convince USCIS that fellow is matching EB2 capability under same job classification. Hundred of such intefilings are waiting without no action from USCIS. My lawyer's advice wait till we logically can establish the skill progression, in other words minimum 3 years of wait from the day AC21 usage. And other important thing is "real promotion" in position should happen at employment and this whole explanation is based on assumption of employment at the same employer. If you change employment inbetween after AC21 usage and before interfiling , your 3 years wait cycle starts from new emploment date. I have not filed "interfiling" just because of these reasons and waiting for correct time to do that. In other words Eb3-I is really and badly screwed.

Since January 2006, the nation's Capital has been fairly quite on immigration news for a number of reasons. Firstly, the comprehensive immigration reform legislative bills were planned to be tabled in February 2006, but reportedly this has been pushed off until March 27, 2006. Secondly, the New Director of Citizenship and Immigration Services took office last months. Additionally, the career immigration benefits leader, William Yates, retired and new acting director took over the immigration benefits management responsibility. Understandably, when the heads of the organization change, pending review of the policies and directions, the organization's activities on policy making usually remain on halt.
As opposed to the immigration benefits issues, there have been flurry of news coming out of all sources throughout the country relating to the immigration enfocement and border security initiatives. There are sporatic and increasing reports that ICE has swifted the enforcement policy from leniency to reinforcement over the illegal aliens despite its inability to keep up with expanding detenion facilities to house the detained illegal aliens. The ICE has just announced that it will cease the practice of arrest and return of the border crossers and enforce detention of such border crossers. There were reports that ICE officials stopped certain traffics in certain locations in Minnesota to demand legal documents and enforced illegal immigration action against the detected illegal aliens.
Until the immigration legislative activities are recharged and energized and the new CIS Director has a handle on the immigration benefits policy and management direction, it is expected that the nation's capital may remain in low key for a while when it comes to the employment-based immigration.

Dude r u kidding me ... we are talking about a complaint against a Billion Dollar firm and its resources.. do u expect me to give the details in this open forum ...

Hello Leo,
Welcome to the forum. Glad to see that you are able to post messages.
Your input and suggestions are excellent. IV (Immigration Voice) is working on the exact things you pointed very clearly. We will together make the difference with the upcoming bill. IV is today 5 days old. I think IV has made very good progress in last 5 days given the fact that most people are in holidaying mood and not paying much attention. But there is a long way to go. I would urge you to please actively participate in discussions and other activities to spread the word around to your friends and family with the request that they as well send the same message to their friends. You could help by posting the flyer in the attached file in places like Indian/Chinese/Philipino stores/restaurants/other meeting places and request your friends to do the same. This is the first step towards creating awareness to bring everybody facing this problem on common platform.
I agree 100% that misinformation, stereotyping, unorganized campaign with hastily typed faxes/messages by individuals hurt us in S1932. There were a lot of motivated individuals but most of us were not unable to create a concrete strategy to make the dent in S1932 as there was not platform to join hands. We are all on H1s/EADs and facing severe problems due to retrogression. We are all learning as this campaign is picking up steam. The idea is to be more organized. We have received personal emails and phone calls from lot of motivated individuals spread all around the county. All of these individuals want to see solution to retrogression issue. We need more individuals to come forward to actively participate for this cause.
Please continue to provide your input and contribution for this cause. Please invite more individuals to participate on this forum. We are a very young organization and maybe after 6 months, once all this is over for good, we will look back and thank individuals like yourself who�s encouraging words and support are so important for the success of this cause.

FINALLY I GOT MY PP with Visa Stamp today !!!!
the status changed on the VFS website 'pp delivered' in the morning around 11am.
Here is my case:-
Int for H1B renewal, same company same job, at New Delhi consulate - 14th Jan. VO said "approved, you will get your passport couriered to your home in a couple of days'.
10 days went by and no response. By Feb 1st week, i started calling DOS ..DOS confirmed to have sent the clearance on Jan 25th..
Since then my lawyers and me have been trying to find out the reason for delay from both DOS and embassy.. NO LUCK @@
today on Feb 12th..30 calendar days..i got my pp back. And I am flying back home tonight.
Thanks to everyone who helped me and supported me during this long wait.
In my opinion my case was delayed only for PIMS..but since i had H4, F1, studied at 4 schools, and fairst H1 and this H1B renewal..it took VO good amount of time correlate and work on all this.
I guess mostly delays are for renewals and for people specially with longer history in states. The embassy's are swamped with work and now days a general processing time has been made to 30 days. Infact its also mentioned on their website that most cases are completed withing 30 days..Just FYI..even for PIMS verification, the embassy will report to you as administrative delay.
I hope all this helps to people who are still waiting and who may have long waits in future.
Once again all the best.

Guys just want to appreciate the efforts by different members here. At least it gives a sense of support that you are not alone in this whole fiasco when you hear around you people getting their FP or EADs and you are left feeling frustrated and anxious.
This forum actually has become quite important and please keep on posting details and updates.
Wishing that it ends soon for all of us and ease our anxiety.
Cheers!!!!

Over the past couple of days I have had 10 of my friends/colleagues who have signed the letter and they have been mailed out to the president. I also have copies of them to mail out to IV once I have all that I can get..
I plan to call my Senators & Congressman's office's today too. I believe we need to get through to our friends and colleagues and talk about the issues in this letter. I have yet to come across one person who does not agree that our situation needs the attention of the administration.
I know I can get a few more of these letters signed by the end of this week.
Anyone out there who has more letters going out??:D
Lets have some healthy competition!
Your first post is outstanding. Welcome to IV. Please join your state chapter so that you can help in a more organized manner.
Thanks for all the help and support.

The pain of waiting for 9-yrs is nothing compared to the wait now (after dates got current)...Refreshing my yahoo mail on iPhone atleast twice per hour, Clicking on Safari where the last visited page is that of case status online (Click the status btn frequently) --- Life is difficult :(
Like an ad says: "Stay thirsty my friend", I hope I dont have to stay thirsty "FOREVER".
God save us from this misery just like u've been saving a few others!!!
I am in the same situation. I share your pain.
I think the scientific community should stop their search for a black hole. Considering the difficulty in extracting the least bit of information from the USCIS, they will beat any black hole hands down. :-)
