From , it appears that most people got their GC's without any LUD's. May be most cases are preadjucated and there will be only one final status change.

Impatience?????
What are you trying to convey? Are you saying we should not write up stories?
If so think again.
This is a right time to do it.
I did not say that nor even remotely meant that.
We should try and do all things that can improve our chances of success.

Let me try to make a humble suggestion here - why don't you try writing a really short and direct letter, so that even the laziest guy cannot help but read it?
For example:
Respected Mr. Senator
I would like to draw your attention to the bill <blah blah> which is very important from the point of view of people waiting in line to be legal immigrants
I wish that you lend your valuable support to this bill as it will help eliminate the backlogs and delays in issuing green cards to people from retrogressed countries like myself. This is essential to ensure that all people are treated equally irrespective of their country of birth
...
Even if he reads just the first para it will be clear who we are and what we want..
Or call them up if possible

Hi,
I hope I am posting in the right space and hoping to get some input from people who have been in a similar situation.
My mother is coming from India (Hyderabad) to San francisco . The ticket was booked in India and we were hoping to get a travel companion for her and help her through gate changes, customs and related stuff. When we talked to travel agents they kept postponing until one week before departure (She leaves on 14th). Now they were able to locate one companion until London but after that they split.
Eventhough wheelchair assistance was requested from London and confirmed. I am worried that she never traveled by herself and she wouldn't be able to complete all the forms or answer all the questions or even stand in the right queue by herself at the port of entry in San francisco.
I am sure there will be other passengers from London to San francisco but I want to talk to them before she gets on the plane and not leave to chance and hope somebody helps her. With all the new privacy issues how do we get in touch with Telugu(worst case Hindi) speaking people on the plane from London to San francisco.
I would appreciate your input
Thanks in advance
Hi,
You don't need to worry about it!. The Airlines Staff or the wheelchair assistant will take care of gathering the data from your mother's documents and filling up the necessary forms.

Hi
My wife is on H4 and is planning to convert to F1 before joining graduate school to get scholarship. At same time my PERM is filed and once approved i was planning to use cross chargebility to file under my wife country of birth quota (UAE). i wanted to know following
a) if she applied for conversion for F1 today, can she get scholarship before she gets ssn or she has to wait till she gets ssn
The school cannot pay her stipend unless she has SSN. They might still be able to waive tuition, though.
B) If during her F1 processing time or grauate studies on F1, if my PERM gets approved, can i file for I-140 and I485 using cross chargebility with her being on F1 or i would have to wait for her to conert to H4? If there any risk to our green card processing
You can file I-140/I-485 while your wife is in F1. There is no risk to the green card processing. However, applying I-485 for her might end her F1 and put her into AOS (you need to ask lawyers for this; it is a bit unclear and I have seen contradictory responses).
C)If she continues on H4 visa, can she still get scholarship?
If the scholarship requires her to "work" (for example, being a teaching assistant or research assistant), then most probably no since persons with H4 are not allowed to "work". However, if the scholarship requires no "work", then she may be able to do so while being on H4.
I think the test is if she has to pay taxes for the scholarship money. If yes, then she cannot do so on H4, otherwise she may be able to do it.
if not once she graduates would she be in special US master degree quota for H1B?
Any help on these would be great
Thanks
Once she gets a master's from a US university, regardless of her status while she was in the university, after graduation she will be eligible for special H1-B quota (if it still existed that time).

Please share your experience with purchasing tickets online from sites like makemytrip.com. chepoairines.com etc kinda sites verses travel agents.
I am planning to go from New York to New Delhi after 2-3 months and exploring options. Recently someone I know came from India and paid only 1.5 Lakh rupees for 5 tickets. He could get a good deal because he knew the travel agent.
This shows the huge margins these travel agents and travel insurance agents have. Travel insurance purchased in USA does not even consider pre existing conditions ( their terms and conditions are confusing) and getting them to pay your bills is a big pain. So I can understand why travel agents and travel insurance agents make so much money and can advertise everywhere on TV and websites in USA.
So please share experience and suggest a good website or agent who can give a great deal to me. Do not reply if you are an agent. I am looking for experiences from customers.
I am posting this in Immigration Voice > General Information > Interesting Topics before anyone jumps and get bitten.

Yes she not current visa status :-( Thats why I am worried about her travel plan.
If that is the case she should NOT travel without advanced parole in hand. If she chooses to do so she has NO valid immigration status on which to re enter the United States and will have abandoned her adjustment of status application.
If she needs to travel for urgent family medical reasons if you can obtain medical notes etc you can go to your local office on an infopass appointment and try to expedite the process.

Dont know how to express my feeling but it made me laugh, you statement is absolutely true though sad, its like saying are kuch to kar, kam se kam sharam kar :)..... may be that USCIS guy takes a look at the case and feels ashamed that he approved so many with out an order and this one is pending since so long .....cynical me sorry ...
I would say it is still a good sign as it tells that someone is at least looking at your case instead of your case being in a basement in a box.

My main concern is RD of 28th August.....Does that mean that we are falling out of August 17 window and our cases will be put on hold or may be denied.......
Atleast, if I had RD of July 2, 2007...when our cases reached USCIS....I would not worry about it that much.....
Now...when it get transfered to NSC, will we get new case #s....I think all cases at NSC starts with LIN....
Anybody else in same situation?
Did you guys talk to your Attorney?
I just sent an email to my Attorney and waiting for the reply....
I spoke to my attorney and he says there was some update from USCIS and now processing can be done at local centers (some change in july end is what he said) and according to him, its fairly common. I also googled and this was pretty common in 1999-2000 period. I also have a RD of aug 28th, worried that my counter of 180 days is increasing bcoz of this...

It would be Much easier to know our material and then get an appointment. Say we get an appointment for an earlier date, and we're not ready, it's not going to look very professional. We'll probably have one shot at this, let's do it right.
Look up the resource section. We have a brochure and a powerpoint presentation by Sunil Joshi which was even posted on the ILW website. The CA team of ImmigrationVoice have used these to great results
The lobbying firm might provide us valuable inputs on these but at the same time, these are already in very good shape having gone through many rounds of critique by the core members.
Again, this should not stop you from asking for appointments!
