I am starting to see a trend in the receipt notices.
Some of the people reporting getting recepit notices this week (yesterday and today) have LUDs of 07/28/07. My thinking is that This week will see receipt notices for everyone with an LUD of 07/28/07
HOPEFULLY next week will see receipt notices for 08/05/2008. This is just my observation.
People please post your LUDs for your I-140, the service center AND how your receipt numbers start (SRC vs LIN) each time you post a receipt notice.

Sugaur, here, try some history:
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War]Mexican–American War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url
There are far more complex issues/mindsets involved as to why people do what they do. Placing yourself "in their shoes" and analyzing is not good enough in this context. Your analogies of breaking and entering a house/raiding your fridge are incomplete/shallow and hopefully you will change your perspective after reading the history between these two countries.
Nevertheless, it is what it is today in terms of geographical distribution of land and I am not suggesting, Mexicans have rights over California/Texas.
So why bring it up at all? l have lived in Texas in hispanic majority communities. I havent met any who want california or texas to be a part of mexico. If we start bringing history into it, then the only people who should be here are the native americans.
What I am suggesting is that motivations for what people do can vary a lot and folks like you and I who come here on H1/F1 or whatever after completing our fancy degrees, can never understand certain ground realities.
You are wrong. The CHIEF motivation which brings you and me here AND the mojority of illegals is the same, the chance of economic prosperity and a better life. Even illegals will admit this. They dont come here because they think it belongs to them. Every nation has a right to make and enforce its immigration laws and every prospective immigrant has a duty to follow those. Immigration to the US is a privilege, not a right.
Looking everything via a legal/illegal magnifying glass can get you only so far. Basic respect for human life is extremely important without which there will be no difference between us and barbarians.
She got all the medical care she needed, on tax payer money. That is showing respect to human rights. How about her duty to follow the law of the land?
As you have started going this route of discussing the merits/demerits of this case and comparing with our situation, I would strongly recommend to let this go. You and I and many others here, do not have the knowledge of discussing these complex issues.
You insist on making it sound more complex than it is. It really isnt. Whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong.
The sheriff's treatment of illegals has little to do with law and order and has more to do with his personal hatred for Hispanics. It is documented where the Sheriff has made statements to the affect of calling these folks animals, disease carrying, who smell and dress up like animals etc.
This is propaganda. In this country no one can get away with doing what you claim he does. Shackling a pregnant woman when she is delivering is another example of the same attitude. You condoning that fact by statements like "woman is perfectly capable of delivering with a leg shackled" is just pathetic. It is not always about your 'legality/illegality' or your brilliant career or fantastic green card. Just pathetic.
What is pathetic is your blindness to discern right from wrong.

I think Rajiv Khanna once sued INS to make sure the I485's are approved 'First In & First Out' basis.
I am not sure if we can approach him again and how.
This is just to get to know how USCIS is allocating the visas. How USCIS is interpreting the law?

Fatjoe,
Thanks for your response. Wow that's quite a grill. How many days of notice did u get prior to the interview? Did you get any RFE previous to this interview.
Did you ask her any questions? Like if the case stands preadjudicated or not or if they will need more info in future?
Going by the questions, it seems she asked all that she can ask for.
Best,
SoP

I had the first-hand opportunity to meet and see IV core members working for our cause. Really, it gives you the chill that thinking its the same GC everyone on this forum wants but the dedication with which they are approaching is amazing. There is no point talking about what we "could have done" after the congress session is over and god forbid, our bill doesn't pass through. 2008 is all about elections and the citizens, not too much of immigration will come to forefront, so please think.....
Contributors> thanks for the contribution...
Sideline onlookers> Till yesterday we had about 40.08% contribution and as of noon today we are only at 43.97%, contribution of 3.89% which amounts to around $2400 :) I bet we can do so much better after all we are so called "high skilled" immigrants....
please step up and let's not make it a beg fest..here..thanks !
T I am not a core member, but I trust these guys, they have been working hard putting in their own hard-earned money for travelling, and carrying out IV work. At this point, IV really needs two things, more members and more FUNDS . IV needs you to contribute, even if it is $20

I read your post, and your thread. All the way down to what the definitions of "is", "and" and "or" are.
First of all, lets keep the discussion civilized. Lets not comment and post on what other people think, or what their motivations are, or how biased or wrong they are.
I think we all agree that the current situation is that unused EB2-ROW numbers are flowing down to EB-3 ROW, and not across to EB2.
Regardless of what the definition of "is" is, EB-3 ROW will like things the way they are, and EB-2 India would want things to change in their favor.
Lets not fight over who should get more crumbs. Lets work to increase the size of the pie.
Lets figure out who is getting screwed, and big are they getting screwed. And then reach out to those who are getting screwed, and get them to contribute and join IV and participate.
Mr Unitednation takes the advantages of ignorance (in immgration law) of most of the forum members and spreading wrong information in both web sites.
Of course he is very informative, however he is very biased and having wrong openion that EB3 India has stolen EB3_ROW number in previous years as he belongs to ROW. He wrongly assumes that till EB3-ROW becomes current EB2 & EB3-India will not see any movement. He thinks no one knows the rules, laws ect..and he is only one knows everything. The actual fact is most peoples have been doing research on retrogression like him last two years and not having enough time to reply his post. To fuel his openion DOS is violating the section 202 of INA and no one cares about this including IV core team.

I agree.... there are no IOs at the fingerprinting offices let alone talking to them.
I had an infopass appointment today and the IO there told me a lot. She told me that me and my wife's namecheck and fingerprints were cleared. She also told me that the case has not been assigned and therefore she opened a Service Request for me to expedite the case (dont know if it will help). She also mentioned that there is no memo stating that the vsa numbers have been exhausted.
And believe me.. i overheard the other IOs in the saying that the immigration system is screwed up and the service centers dont know what they are doing... so guys you can see what the system thinks of itself.....
so again as i have said....sit tight and hope and pray ....
cheers
Nice to know that. Now on what basis do we believe you and not the other guy? In this anonymous environment you are as much/less credible as the other guy. The best thing for everyone is to keep hopes low and wait till September passes. There's so much information,rumors,gossip doing the rounds to drive everyone crazy.

Hello guys,
On the very first day with the camera, we came home and saw the recorded video to find that she is violently hitting the baby on two separate occasions.
She is of course not going to stay with the baby alone anymore
Hi I think you need to go to the cops for this reason
1) You have evidence of child abuse(video of the nanny severally beating a child in state of new Jersey)
"Approximately 18 States and Puerto Rico require all citizens to report suspected abuse or neglect, regardless of profession."
Ref: Mandatory Reporters of Child Abuse and Neglect
Child Welfare Information Gateway www.childwelfare.gov
http://www.thefreedomresource.org/documents/mandatorychildabusereporting.pdf
2) IMHO even immigrationvoice.org bears responsibility of duty to warn.You have evidence that child is still being kep under care of namny who may abuse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_to_warn
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarasoff_v._Regents_of_the_University_of_Californi a
Immigration and CHild abuse are different matter but they are both prosecuted by the same US attorneys. going after you for hiring an illegal alien" ie. prosecuting parents of child abuse may not be in their best interest either

Hi Guys
I would like to point out a few things about the recent Lobby day we from IV did on June 6th and 7th in Washington DC.
I am a proud participant and I am glad I did take part in it. This was my first time and I am ready to this again when needed. Initially I was skeptical about this drive like a lot of you . But after I saw the commitment and dedication of our senior members , I am encouraged and I am glad I went there to DC and I was surprised how positive was the response I got from the offices of senators and congressmen and congresswomen. There were a lot of IV members who traveled from all across the country although there were a few states from where members could not make it to DC. Thanks to all of those who attended this event and those who attended know how much positive feeling we had on those 3 days.
In my opinion we were successful in bringing the attention of various congressmen/congresswomen and senators to the issue of employment based green card backlogs. A lot of the senators offices were already aware of what IV is doing and in some cases when we said we are from IV, They started telling why we were there and they were very supportive of our cause.
Some of them had no idea what we were talking about. They think that there is no such thing as backlog in green cards for high skilled immigrants from some countries like India and china and Philippines etc.. We had to educate them and explain the entire green card process steps to their legal aides but towards the end they understood our issue and were supportive of our cause.
Actually a lot of the staffers of senators and congressmen attended the Reception on capital hill on Tuesday. That also underscores the support we have there. To translate the support into more concrete legislative support in our favor, We need to organize more and increase number of members attending these events in future to have a more solid impact on them.
I want to bring up one point very clearly. Guys there is no one in Washington DC offices talking about the difficulties we are facing other than IV organization members . We need to lobby the lawmakers much much before any legislation is drafted and taken up for debate in congress. If we think we will rise up and make some noise when the bill is tabled, we are wrong. By then we will be very very late in the game. The deals would have already be done in congress and our issues will not be addressed at all. ( that is just how business is done in Washington . If you snooze you loose) We need to rise up and take a more active role in IV by
1. Contacting senators and congressmen in our districts and explain to them the issues we are facing , IV Can help you by providing the documentation required and any other help needed in talking to the representatives. ( you will be surprised by their support and positive response to our issues when you meet them )
2. Register and take part in the IV state chapters meetings and discussions
3. Donate what ever we can ( 10 , 20 , 30$ etc..) to our cause in IV . If we can not help ourselves, no one can help us .(keep in mind in DC We would need money to take up any advocacy efforts ).
4. Participate in the lobby drives and other such events to raise awareness about our problems. Numbers really matter in DC . just posting the issues on forums will not help us although it may serve as a consolation by venting out on forums . this will not take us anywhere
Guys please talk to your friends who are in the limbo in EB GC process and get them to actively be involved for our cause. We all will be benefited by the results from the efforts we put in. We all have day jobs at the same time we need to sacrifice some time and resources to the larger cause.
Hope I have inspired my fellow members who are sitting on fence to actively get involved in IV and support our cause.
Thanks

Sherman is just some teenager, trying to throw some crazy ideas he has, at IV, and see if they stick.
Sherman, I'm glad you are trying to find answers by talking to IV. Though, you have a lot to read up on about immigration.
US has always had strong immigration. That is why US is where it is today. It would be impossible for any country to grow that fast without immigration.
Immigration today versus 100 years ago are very different.
100 years ago, the only requirement to get into the US was that you were not too sick to work and then you got your green card within 3 to 5 hours(!).
Today, you need to have education, a job before you even get here, your job has be verified that no American can do it instead, you can not be sick, you have to prove you or someone else has financial means for you to live here, you have to be fingerprinted, can not committed any crimes in the world and more and more. And on top of that you have to wait 5 to 10+ years to get a GC.
I recommend a trip to Elli's Island i New York. It was fun to hear Americans awwing when they heard the poor immigrants back then sometimes had to stay at Ellis Island for weeks, when they were sick. Comparing a few weeks to the years(!) it takes today, I think many would easily pick a few weeks wait over 10 years wait.
Not everything has improved.

Immigration today versus 100 years ago are very different.
100 years ago, the only requirement to get into the US was that you were not too sick to work and then you got your green card within 3 to 5 hours(!).
Today, you need to have education, a job before you even get here, your job has be verified that no American can do it instead, you can not be sick, you have to prove you or someone else has financial means for you to live here, you have to be fingerprinted, can not committed any crimes in the world and more and more. And on top of that you have to wait 5 to 10+ years to get a GC.
I recommend a trip to Elli's Island i New York. It was fun to hear Americans awwing when they heard the poor immigrants back then sometimes had to stay at Ellis Island for weeks, when they were sick. Comparing a few weeks to the years(!) it takes today, I think many would easily pick a few weeks wait over 10 years wait.
Not everything has improved.
