I noticed it after I made payment via credit card.....so it was too late to make any corrections.
But I am yet to send the supporting documents to USCIS to adjudicate this application.
What should I do:
1) Send letter, explaining the correct DOB, while sending all other documents
OR
2) Wait for RFE
OR
3) Revoke this and file another

First of all, are the bills really dead for sure?
In any case, being idealistic and blaming everyone else is not helpful. It is not an ideal world, lets face it. :)
Perhaps we should see where we improve.. Perhaps we have an opportunity here:
If we are fairly certain we cannot expect any bills this year, why not put aside lobbying for this year, and put the money and energy saved into publicity programs? Buy advertising space on ethnic publications/websites and put up interesting ads? Start a campaign to put up ads etc on college campuses, for instance, to get the student community involved.
It seems having a website and bulletin board is insufficient by itself to generate the critical mass necessary for a sustained campaign. It is a starting point, and we need to move beyond immigrationvoice.org.
We have to understand why many people get cynical. If I tell someone to call senators and congressmen every six months, and absolutely nothing happens the first seven times, the eighth time, it is understandable if some of the people don't bother. If I then rant at them for being stupid/cowardly etc, I am certain to be dismissed as an idealistic crackpot for ever, so we need to be careful. :)
Well, even before Indian independence, it was just a handful of population that were actively involved in the process, majority took life as it came and were afraid. In fact, there are a lot of coward stories where cowards helped the British against freedom fighters. The reason British could rule India so easily because desis are submissive and it took a long time for leaders like Mahatma Gandhi to lay a foundation and gather critical mass enought o bring about a change and the worst thing is - the only change that happened was that British govt moved out. 60 years after independence, we are still divided mentality, lack of civic sense, we claim greaatness in getting IT and BPO projects, we could not win a gold medal in Olympics nor could we make any big scientific achievement - the worst thing is we come here to US and stay divided and expect that someone will do good to us

This is an excerpt from Ron Gotcher's website that addresses a possible outcome for these bills:
"As far as I know, they only had sub-committee hearings, but that is where the real work is done. The sub-committee takes testimony from interested parties and gathers other evidence related to the subject matter of the bill.
Legislation generally only goes to full committee when it is going to be forwarded to the floor as free standing legislation. In this case, no one really expects any of these bills to be presented to the floor for a vote, so the full committee is not bothering with them. Rather, the sub-committee has taken in relevant evidence and let everyone have their say. Now, if they can find an appropriate vehicle, they can attach some of the proposals from the various bills and try to get emergency relief passed."
Is there any update on three bills in house. I have checked the hearing schedule for all committees and there seems to be no hearing scheduled for any of these bills. House is in session till September 7 and after that District work period and convention shows, which leaves us with just 4 weeks from now and after that It reconvens from September 9 with target adjournment date of 26th september and i m pretty sure no congressional rep will like to cast vote on any bills before going into election....
Prospects seems bleak now... Is there anything we can do...any last attempt that is required? If so...Let us all know...

All,
Another thought: the flyer we have now was a good start, and at the time when we started we didn't have other material in place.
But esp in places which have a real bulletin board where information will stay on for a while, I think we should give out a little more information on who we are, what the problems is and what we are asking for.
So at a place like ICC, maybe we should pin a copy of our brochure, and another sheet formatted like the brochure in which we give instructions on how to donate money.
The brochure format and content also looks professional, more credible than a flyer that resembles flyers for rentals, car sales etc etc.
best,
Berkeleybee

Can you start a poll for EB2-I the years - 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 in this thread?
It's been a long time since we had an estimate of how many cases are really out there waiting for approval.
I am trying to keep track of 2004 cases. I think USCIS is not doing fair justice by not giving preference to 2004 cases. Please post your priority date, I-140 approval dates(if approved), I-485 received dates, Name check cleared date(if cleared), finger print cleared date(if you gave finger prints and they got cleared)
My Details :
PD : 12/23/2004
I-140 Approval Date :05/03/2007
I-485 Received Date : 07/26/2007
Name Check Cleared.
Gave Finger Prints.
I think mine is straight forward case. :confused:

Ok disclaimer first. I do work directly with employer and not a consultant.
I think there is an ongoing debate over it whether consultant companies should be allowed for H1b's and green cards or not. Let me be very honest. There are so many US employers who do not want to get into mess of H1b's but still want talent. These desi or videsi consultant firms feed on them and people like you and me searching for jobs. It is generated out of necessity on both ends.
There are some very very big consulting firms too and not to Mom and Pop Desi shops.
I feel for both sides and the real problem is to have multiple H1's and H1b's sitting on bench which is even worst. So either they hire and pay and make their responsibility to find job or don't file for H1b's

You should be ok. The purpose of COBRA is to have a continued coverage. usually insurance is month to month, so the coverage nessasarly doesn't end the day you quit. All COBRA does is allow you to pay the next months entire premium and keep the existing coverage.
I tried using COBRA last year and in my case the gap was 3 months and my monthly COBRA payments were about $900/month, since I did not have any ongoing medical conditions or foresee any like pregnancy etc, I went for short term private insurance to fill the gap.
Pardon my ignorance Gurus.
But Hypothetical....what would be the scenario, if,
- I leave the job-A on 1st of the month.
- join new job-B on 2nd of the month (very next day) but new employer wants me to complete 30 days before providing medical insurance
- my job-A insurance company sends me COBRA option in two weeks time as required by law
- Prior to I fill and send out the COBRA docs (roughly 2 - 3 weeks), I have to make some urgent visit to doctor...say in 1st week (say, on 4th of the month)
- will my job-A company will deny this claim as they only received my COBRA paperwork by 18th of the month whereas I went to doctor on 4th????

Thanks for the responses. How about this question ?
Is it out of status if one gets paid from 2 companies with
2 H1bs , like, If one is on bench but getting paid by that company, starts working with 2nd company on transferred H1b, so it is like double pay for about 2-3 weeks .
If you're getting paid while you're on bench with Company A, and Company B has transfered your H1, and is paying you as well, that's not a problem. The problem arises if you're on bench and are not getting paid. On H1, one has to be paid even if he/she is on bench.
Hope this helps answer your question.

Seems like most of you guys have grudge against Andhrites (GULTIs that you call us with love). Agreed that most ppl who come to this univeristy are from AP. There are about 900 students in this university, but there are thousands of students from AP that are studying in other reputed university. I'm one of them.
I'm not sympathetic towards the ppl who are facing deportation. But i strongly condemn the way they are treated. Tying the tracking devices to their legs and treating them like terrorists is totally inhuman and insane

Get your Fiance a F1 Visa before marriage. So, she is not married at that time and to US Immigration, she has no plans to immigrate. After she gets the Visa, marry her and bring her here. Technically I think you are OK, only you have to Spend bucks for here education :), which might be fruitful in long run!
Please take lawyer's advice anyways.

International students come on F1 visa and get instate tuition fee from state universities. Our kids are on H4s so that will not qualify them to attend undergraduate in state schools? Is F1 required to get instate tuition fee? I am not understanding the situation here. Please somebody clarify if possible.
F-1 students do not enjoy any more privileges than H-4 applicants. In fact, you may like to check with the university authorities, for H-4 students pay in-state tuition if other requirements are fulfilled. Things like residency for a period of time, employment of guardians, etc.
To my knowledge, F-1 students do not qualify for in-state tuition at all. They can apply for a minuscule number of tuition waivers on grounds of economic hardship, academic performance and the like. However, the situation may vary from univ to univ and state to state. My knowledge is limited to Georgia, and specifically Georgia Tech, GSU and UGA

That's not true. They will still process backlogged applications filed prior to the introduction of the bill. Considering the current backlog, none of the applications for FY2008 from India and China would have been considered during that period anyway. This would only matter if you were from a non-retrogressed country. As far as the points system is concerned, your priority date doesn't matter anyway as only your point score will be considered.

After reading what Mr Mark had to say i must say i m furious but at the same time i understand what he is trying to do viz Misguide!
Folks like Krikorian thrive on donations made by misguided people (in the name of not-for profit and enticing them with tax exemptions). You don't have to be an "Einstein" to figure that out but you have to be at least EB3 category :D
Reminds me of the Simcox guy of the minuteman project who raised millions and fooled a lot of people in the name of border fence which turned out to be a cow fence at best.
And now a little prayer to calm down Soul!
"May Mark Krikorian always be surrounded by Illegals and us EB2 and EB3 category immigrants" :D
P.S- I generally don't mix Illegals with us.. but I made an exception just for Mr Mark, I'm sorry if that offends anyone.
