I recently got my Indian passport renewed at CGI SFO. Everything went smoothly. Here's some info for other people's benefit. My old passport expires in Sep 2008.
I printed out the online application form and applied by mail. Enclosed the following
Total Cost = $60 MO + $16 Fedex + $30 Notary = $106.
The Consulate received my application on June 16th and I received my new passport on July 1st. That's just 10 working days. I was impressed :cool:
I sent my PP to NY city last week. Had to send 4 PP pictures.
I always notarize my docs at the nearest Wachovia Branch FOR FREE :) Upto 5-6 pages in 1 trip. only once so far i had more than 5-6 pages and the lady looked unwilling to notarize (but didn't say).
This time i did not notarize the docs. not sure if that would be a problem.

Hi! is this true? they are approving cases randomly? what happen to FIFO?
I guess one has to pray for luck ! Is there no reason to worry? What if your case has been denied after 13 months of waiting , that's really bad luck.
Thanks for the info. by the way.
i asked the same question about rejection they said we dont accept any rejections and we will file MTR, and they dont have any rejections from past 6 years
one of my friend in the same company got approval in 3 months that one is not audited
we both filed at the same time atlanta centre he is lucky guy

I never saw anything like this it is far worse than the government municipality office. There is only one lady at the counter nearly 200 people waiting. She is doing things at her own pace. They were fighting over missing $10s, nepotism etc,is prevailing, they have an official line and an unofficial line. It looks like a shack than a consulate. Burger shack is better than India Consulate. After more than a month I am still waiting for my PP.

And whats wrong with having 90% non-immigrants in ur workforce?
These companies(even desi consulting) do play an important business role in consulting and economy at large. Only thing we have to worry about is that they dont exploit or abuse the workers which can easily solved by making h1b portable. By restricting to 10% or 20%, these 20% are going to be more exploited because there will be hundreds of desis and non-immigrants waiting to take that 20 jobs that now available and companies will exploit them.
If you want to see the effects of protectionist bill like these, one only needs to look at manufacturing sector. US gov. and unions protected its local manufacturing workers, wages went up and eventually the whole sector went to China and other countries. Its happening with automobile sector now. Let's hope software industry is not next.
This is actually a very good idea. Maybe not 10% even 25% is fine.
This way microsoft, oracle etc. can get their workers.
Even Deloitte, PWC they hire americans and pay you when you're on bench.
Unlike most indian consulting companies, which don't pay you when you're on bench and make you lie on your resume.

I received my AP renewed document 2 days ago, but there is no email or status update relating to it as of today. I am waiting for my EAD and My wife�s AP/EAD approval. I wish my I-485 is approved like this. I posted this earlier in another thread but I don�t see it any more, thought I would share my experience here.
Did any one had similar experience like this. Approved and received doc/card but no email or LUD or online status change?
I also wanted to know how to start a new thread? In case I want to start a new for another crazy stuff.

I have an approved labor cert thru PERM(PD: July 2006). The advertisements were made in May.
I also have a pending TR case in DBEC(PD: Aug 2002). I'm planning to have it converted to RIR. Would anyone know if I can use the same advertisement efforts that were used in the PERM case, as basis for the TR to RIR conversion?

I was thinking this for a long time, and I totally agree with you...
The only and simple way to stop H1B abuse is to allow only max 10% non-immigrant (H1, L1, TN etc) employee in a company. Rest 90% have to be Green Card or Citizen. These desi consulting, Indian big companies must be hving at leaset 90 % employees on non-immigrant status.
Simple and universal rule that will solve all the H1B problems

These view points are different and relavant depending on the places we are living. What is right in rural Texas is not same with that in bay area.
If Slumdog and his ilk is happy with their quality of life! Let them be. Just as xycgc mentioned, dont ever default and leave the burden to the rest of the citizens.
My friend used to wax this quote
"There is no glory greater than the glory of illusion"

In a way, we are all doomed, by owning or renting the house, with the impending tax increases because of carelessness of a few.

I am happy to report that within the first 4 days of this campaign we have already hit a potential fundraising total of $3,500!!!
We need to keep this campaign moving forward, we need IVians to support this cause! Our goal by end of Year 1 is $45,000!!! We need your support to make this initiative a success.
Lets get IV's name out on the national stage by showing our presence at these events. Imagine the impact we will have when they see Team IV walker/runners in Immigration Voice T Shirts at the finish line of all the three walking/running events we have picked and at several other local events as well.
Go IV, Go Team IV!!:)

Their silence also indicates that they may move date substantially (as they dont lose anything by moving forward as all 485 are filed).
its not that simple (otherwise they can make everything C and be done with it). The PD is defined as the last application they could not approve because there is no visa number to assign to that applicant.
THere was a nice description of teh whole process in some earlier thread: they get visa numbers in chunks from DOS. They ask for them as they need them, and there is also some per-month, per-quarter rationing that goes on. Based on that they pick up and approve applications and keep using up visa numbers. They are supposed to pick up applications in order of PD, but do so in a mix of PD/RD. When they get to an applicant who is otherwise approved but they are out of visa numbers for this month, they pick the following 1st, 8th, 15th or 22nd as the cutoff date.
Dates are most likely not moving because:
- they have reassigned everyone to do receipting (as they mentioned in their FAQ)
- some dates in current VB (esp for EB3) have been pushed so far back, that they probably dont have readily approvable applications (preadjudicated)
- they are waiting for a complete tally of July VB filings to get an idea of how to move the dates

It is surprising (rather shocking) to see how a discussion on an EB bill (which might never see the light of day anyway) has degenerated into an oft-repeated rant on how IV does not represent EB3.
When I meet with my lawmaker's office (and when I again meet in Feb), I repeat the IV provisions which are for ALL EB and not any specific category/country. THe problem with EB3 is the with the way the EB system/inventory is set-up. It is stupid to convert a chronic issue into a "IV is not trying" debate. As always, we have lots of armchair critics and few grass-roots workers.
Yes forever_waiting it is surprising and shocking to see how a discussion on an EB Bill which will never see the light of the day has degenerated into an oft-repeated rant
By using the keyword
oft-repeated (i will ignore the word rant because only an immature mind will call the other side of a discussion as rant) it
would imply that many EB3 members have raised the same concern in this forum before and i am not the first and believe me when i say this i will not be the last also. So that would mean a whole bunch of people (remember eb3 are 50 k and eb2 are 12k) have the same concern and they have raised the same concern in this same forum so that would mean IV is aware of the concern.
Now what has
IV done about it ??
Meeting a lawmaker with the support of IV behind you is not a reflection of a big effort on your side. The power behind that is IV. Now for me or any other EB3 to meet a law maker is not something i would consider an effort since EB3 are willing to put the same effort which you are putting only if they believein what they are doing. To believe a person needs to feel that they are working for a cause that will impact their situation. Sadly this is missing and that is why EB3 people are cool about the whole meet the law maker process
Regarding the statement I repeat the IV provisions which are for ALL EB and not any specific category/country. THe problem with EB3 is the with the way the EB system/inventory is set-up. What specific steps has IV articulated to resolve the specific issue of EB3
By your own definition this is a chronic issue and what we are taught is that any issue which is chronic needs to be redressed and when it is not it becomes a big issue which cannot be handled
As always, there is the name calling stating that EB3 people aarmchair critics and winers but you are part of a community and you have issues you will air your greviences in the same community not to some one who has no idea or does notcare about it
What is really suprising and shocking is that in EB community itself EB2 does not care to listen and provide and open discussion about EB3 issues. Now according to me that is shocking
BTW i commend your effort of meeting the law maker but if you introspect the only reason you are making an effort is because you believe your efforts will bear fruit in the form of a GC soon (I believe you are EB2 with a priority date of Apr 08)

If you're really bright Microsoft, Oracle will still hire you.
I can tell you that if you have good communication skills getting hired here it's not a problem, in fact they won't even ask you if you're not a US citizen until the end.
I'm from a country in the Americas and I can say that most of the time there are limit for foreigners working in a company.
So its not unreasonable to put some limits.
