I just came across the following article, which analyze in depth about the anti-immigration groups, their stratergies, bases and the clout they have. Though some of the names seems neutral, the intention is really not.
I think it is essential for us to know the entire backgroud, if we need to fight our cause.

I know that there are too many threads open initiating new campaigns, and asking the IV administrators to make the threads sticky. However there is something that we can demand as part of administrative reforms at USCIS, without any need for congressional relief.
When any type of application reaches USCIS, it kinda goes into a black hole. Unless there is a decision on the application, all an applicant do is to cross the figures, and hope that the outcome will be favorable. Worst, sometimes people with later priority date get the approval, and the all a victim with pretty much straight forward case can do is self consolation.
We all know that there is a USCIS case login page, which allows us to create a portfolio and track the case approval. But the information provided by this site is really basic (Informing the applicant that the application was received on such and such date, and its pending for processing at our processing center). Why can't we ask USCIS to improve this portal, so that an applicant can view the details of the case like FP, background check result, priority date, associated 140 status, etc. I am giving this example for a 485 application, but this service can be provided for all other types of cases like H1B, EAD, AP, 140, 485, Labor Certification, etc.
BTW, I saw a note on immigration-law.com, and according to them its a just four (yes only four) member team which is managing their information technology at USCIS. On a lighter note, I feel like creating an Open Source software consortium which will develop the software to add in efficient case processing and better services, where USCIS can download the source code to enable faster deployment of customer services portals.
Anyway, fun apart, I think we should start a campaign to get more meaningful information from customer portal: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp
This way the case processing would be more transparent, an applicant will have more information about the case, the number of phone calls USCIS receive will go down substantially, and people like us will have much more peace of mind. I was wondering if we can come up with a case status detail page, that contains majority of info/updates we applicants want to see. It should not be difficult to compile such information. So meanwhile, when nothing much is expected from Congress on legal immigration relief, at least USCIS can provide this type of service improvement. Any ideas, criticism, pros and cons of such thing?

Hi,
I am in a fixed situation and in big dilemma.
My H1 is expiring in 2007 June first week.
My current employer's (A) attorney is useless and I had to struggle for a year to get my labor filed.
Labor got approved recently and still struggling to file my I-140 in premium.
Meanwhile, I got an offer for permanent employment in a good organization (B).
I would like take that offer but issues that are bothering me are:
1. If I wait and finish my I-140 with current company (A), do I have to get 3 years H1 extension with Company (A) before transferring to company (B)?
2. Do company (B) have rights to extend my H1 visa for 3 years with I-140 approval from current company (A)?
3. Is it safe to switch companies immediately after I-140 approval? I thought 180 days time is preferred but I don�t have the luxury of waiting for 180 days.
Please help me with these questions.
Thanks!!!

The suggested procedure generally is, (assuming you got stamped with Employer A while in India and you want to work with Employer B as soon as you land)
1. File a new independent petetion
2. at Port of Entry, show the I-797 of company B, so that your I-94 records the right company you intend to work.
With quota over for the year, you cannot file another H1 and follow above approach.
When quota was not an issue until 3 years ago, the above scenario worked.
Now you dont have an option because in I-129 (H1b application) form, you will be counted against the cap unless you are already in US in same status i.e on H1. Since you are not in US, you cannot avoid not being counted againts the cap.
So the only way is to come in to US with intention to work for Employer A and then look for moving to employer B

I and my wife are on EAD here and my wife had to go to India urgently on an Advance Parole that was expired last month. Can I apply for the AP renewal for her while she is in India, so that she can come back without any problems? Please let me know what options do I have. I am hoping that she would not be out of status or staying illegally here. Any answers would be very much appreciated. Thanks all.
Please tell me what options I have with me now.

That's helpful.
So, it doesn't matter if I have GC pending with company A, and I am over 6 years on H1B. Will company B be still able to get H1B extension since my I-485 is pending(with comp A)?

Hi:
I have H1b renewed on the basis of pending AOS application (EB3 june04) till 2012 and also ead/ap based on my spouse's AOS application. I am going to India on a vacation soon for a month or two. Recently I have heard many horror stories that even stamped H1B is getting rejected in POE. My question is that if something like that happen to me at the POE can I invoke my unused EAD/AP and request entry based on that? The reason I don't want to simply go back is because I have a house here in USA and a mortgage that I continue to be paying to keep the house.
Thanks

Never heard of anyone with proper papers getting into trouble (ie. the H1 is for a valid job, and in your case (where you are returning to continue employment) you have recent paystubs etc.
There were some rumors about people working for some body-shopping companies getting into trouble because they did not know who the client was, and what work they would do.
Check with a lawyer for the second part of your question, though my understanding is that you can still request to be admitted based on the pending 485 filed on your spouses job. The only kink is if your H1 entrance is denied because they suspect fraud, then I dont know how it plays out on the AP/EAD.

I've received this letter from DOL by mail. I think this is in response to the fax that i sent through IV a while ago. I am posting the contents of the letter here.
U.S. Department of Labor
Employment and Training Administration
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20210
Aug 28 2006
<My name here>
<My address here>
Dear Mr. <My name here> :
Your letter to Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao was referred to this office for reply. The Office of Foreign Labor Certification in the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is responsible for administering the Department's Foreign Labor Certification Program. You expressed your concern with the processing of cases by the Backlog Elimination Processing Centers.
We share your concern regarding the lack of transparency in the Permanent Backlog System and are working on approaches to provide additional information. The criteria for processing a case are dependent upon the timely and complete response of the applicant to all issues and to the First In, First Out (FIFO) status of case. However, assuming two applications with the same priority date, there are several factors that account for different processing times. These include the type of application (Reduction-In-Recruitment Vs. Traditional Recruitment), the stage of processing at which the application was received by the Processing Center, the dates of other applications pending at each center (which determines each application's place within the FIFO queue), the quality of the application (applications that raise questions take longer), and the response time of the employer to center requests for confirmation to continue processing the application. Nevertheless, based on our current progress, we estimate the permanent program's backlog of cases will be eliminated by September 30, 2007.
Sincerely,
<Signature here>

Ok, you know I love your pictures, so I played with curves and masking. Since I've been on the coast many times, I know those cliffs have a lot more detail than your photo, so I wanted to bring them out. I went for subtlety and not intensity in the color version. I don't know if it looked like this or not, but this is what I imagine it to be. Layering and adjusting curves can significantly change the "feel" of the picture to more closely emulate what you saw.
Also, I really like the BW version for dramatic feel. Michael Michael Michael.... you do such nice work... there's always a jewel in the center with a bit of tweakin... that's what I love about your work! Many possibilities with one pic! :)

We have the same situation. I am the primary and got my GC last July. Spouse still does not have it. We have a PD of Sep 2005 and 485 RD of Sep 2005. No idea what is happening. We also have contacted our Congressman, Senator, and done Infopass and SR. Our case was originally filed at VSC, transferred to TSC and is now at a "USCIS Office"
