    My husband's EB2 Dec 2003 I-485 is at NSC and has been pending. Called customer service using POJ method and got an answer that the application is assigned to IO.

    We have replied to RFE two months ago.

    Can anyone guess how long it usually takes for IO to actually look at it and approve.
    Does it help to file DHS form 7001 or contacting congressman at this point.

    Thanks

    These are stupid quotes that will only make the situation worse. The real solution is to make the fingerprinting independent of the green card process. There is no point in trying to push for a faster name check in the post 9-11 world, it will be shot down legitimately. We need to make sensible suggestions not demands.


    YOU COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT!!!

    First let me state that I need people like you to proceed and hence I will be happy to answer the points you rasied to the best of my ability:

    We all agree that there is severe backlog. Only way the backlog will alleviate is by increasing visa numbers, which not going to happen any time sooner.
    So some people (and I know around 10 of them) what they are doing is the following:
    They got the chance to file their 485 last July , which is pending. They are now contacting several small desi consulting firms to file for their fresh labor in EB2 category. Once their labor is filled and new I-140 is approved, they plan to attach new I-140 to the original 485 and hence effectively convering to Eb2 category but with priority dates in 2002 and 2003 (because original I-140 had that priority). Worst, they would never join that desi consulting firm...

    This how the system is being gamed. If I know 10 such cases, I am sure there must be thousand like that.Now you tell me , isn't that unfair to the people already in Eb2 line as well as the ones who do not know how to game the system

    By the way: If any one is interested, I know of three such consulting firms that can do for you for a fee.
    Sunnysurya,

    I am not arguing or obstinately stating my view. I am genuinely confused.

    I am not sure how it is unfair on EB2. Didn't these folks apply for GC before us legally and stand in line sincerely (no labor subs) AND gather pertinent work exp and education?

    I understand you are working on getting the numbers. I would wait to hear from you with those numbers.

    It is one thing to feel wronged seeing a few examples of people abusing the porting but quite another to have a lawsuit alleging that this is a widespread activity and it is causing grievous delays for the ones waiting in EB2. I really don't believe it and feel it is insulting to a large majority of highly skilled and hard working immigrants who have/will legally port their EB3 PDs to EB2.

    Regards.

    Some of the feedback we got when we met our legislators here in Dallas was, when ever we send letters of these kinds they get much more attention when

    1) The letter has a personal story in it
    2) Letter is hand written

    If the letter is hand written and has a personal story in it (along with the IV agenda) then it's likely that some one will read it. On the other hand if it's just a printed copy of a standard letter then it's just going to get tossed into a bin.

    Yes you are correct.

    Please, while sending flowers/ calling Congress members - fax the copy on what Alen Greenspan said few weeks back. Its VERY important they know about this - http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080813/...y_greenspan_dc

    I have said it before and will say it again - " Nothing else but ONLY 'current economy ' will make this bill pass ". To get enonomy back on track, they need to fix housing market first.

    FBI Name Check
    Copyright � Triceiver.com

    All applicants for immigration benefits must undergo background security checks, and one of them is the FBI name check. It is conducted by the FBI National Name Check Program Section (NNCPS). Since 2003, many green card (I-485) and naturalization applications have been significantly delayed by this process, sometimes by several years! More importantly, immigrants affected by this processing delay are often left in complete darkness. USCIS has adopted a policy that it will not release any information regarding name checks to applicants. Similarly, the FBI has practically shut down all email and phone communications previously available to immigrants.

    How FBI name check works?
    FBI name check, in short, is to compare a person's name against the Central Records System and see if there is a matching record. However, this seemingly simple process can be quite complicated in some cases.

    1. The Central Records System (CRS) is huge
    The CRS contains all information which the FBI has acquired during many years of law enforcement activities. It has numerous administrative, applicant, criminal, personnel, and other types of files, related to not only individuals, but companies and foreign intelligence matters also. Certain records are stored in the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., while others are maintained by field offices across the United States.

    When a name check request is received, the FBI conducts a search of the individual's name in the CRS' General Indices. In addition to the person's full name, the FBI will also use different combinations and variations of the same name.

    The General Indices have two types of entries according to the FBI:

    A "main" entry - an entry that carries the name corresponding with the subject of a file contained in the CRS. A main file name thus refers to an individual who is the subject of an FBI investigaton.

    A "reference" entry - an entry, sometimes called a "cross-reference," that generally only mentions or references an individual, organization, etc., contained in a document located in another "main" file. So a reference is someone whose name only appears in an investigation.

    The FBI name check will search both "main" files and "reference" files. In comparison, the FBI Privacy Act request searches main files only. The Privacy Act request is sometimes referred to as FOIPA request, Freedom of Information and Privacy Act. So when an I-485 filer receives a "No Record" letter from the FBI in response to their FOIPA request, it only means that his or her name doesn't match any "main" entry.

    During a name search, the FBI first checks the person's name electronically against the Universal Index contained in a database called Automated Case Support (ACS) system. For most people (68% according to the FBI), the results come back with "No Record" within 48 hours, meaning that their name checks are considered cleared. If there is a match, called a "hit," an agent must manually review the file or entry. This secondary name search usually identifies additional people as having "No Record." According to the FBI, about 10% of name check requests must go through yet a third level of review, during which the matching record must be retrieved from the source. But there is a problem:

    2. Not all records are digitized and many are still paper documents
    If the matching record has a digital copy in the ACS, it can be reviewed quickly. Otherwise paper documents must be transported to the reviewer from one of the FBI field offices which are located all over the country. This could cause significant delays. The name check result after this review will be forwarded to the requesting agency such as the USCIS.

    3. Sheer volume of name check requests from multiple agencies
    Although the name check itself could take a long time in some cases, it is not the bottle neck. The more serious problem is the time it takes for an analyst to actually get to a case after a "hit," due to backlogs. This is probably the No.1 reason for a lot of cases that are stuck in FBI name checks.

    The FBI name check backlog may have several causes, and one of them is the sheer volume of requests. In addition to USCIS, many other Federal agencies, congressional committees, as well as state and local law enforcement agencies, all request name checks as part of their background investigation or clearance processes. According to Michael Cannon, Section Chief of NNCP, the FBI processed 3.7 million name checks in 2005, compared to about 2.5 million/year before September 11, 2001. In 2006, the USCIS alone sends more than 27,700 requests on a weekly basis.

    Moreover, it is not clear how strictly the FBI follows the order of first-in, first-out. It is particular difficult to find out exactly how the FBI would queue cases that have returned with potential matching records. From the simple fact that some name-check cases can be pending for several years, and not all of them are that complicated, the FBI's queuing method may need a review of its own.

    4. Lengthy name check process and national security
    Although conducting name checks is an essential step in identifying national security and public safety concerns, the current process may not achieve its intended objectives. The reason is that in almost all cases, a person whose name check is pending is currently present in the United States. So the lengthy process actually extends an individual's stay in the US. If it takes years to come to a conclusion that the person is indeed a security threat, what will happen during those years? In this sense, timely processing of name checks is not only a relief to legal immigrants, but a must for national security reasons.

    5. It is difficult to expedite FBI name checks
    In 2007, the USCIS established new policies on expediting FBI name checks and the criteria are very limited. The USCIS may demand expedited handling only if the case involves military deployment, age-out or sunset provisions, loss of certain benefits, or other compelling reasons such as critical medical conditions. It specifically stated that Writ of Mandamus (WOM) - a lawsuit forcing the government to act quickly after an unreasonable delay - would no longer qualify as one.

    Writing to Senators, Congressmen, or even the First Lady, have not shown as much success as many were hoping for. In fact, most Congressional inquires are now simply coming back with "case pending" responses. Some offices have stated that they will no longer contact the FBI for cases pending less than a year, citing an increasing number of letters asking for assistance. However, for most poeple, contacting congressional representives is one of very few channels still available to receive any information regarding their pending cases.

    6. The name check situation may get even worse, before it improves
    According to the USCIS Ombudsman, there is a staggering 329,160 FBI name check cases pending as of May 2007. Among them, 211,341 (64%) have been pending more than 90 days and approximately 32 percent (106,738) pending more than one year. Now with the biggest fee increase in decades, taking effect July 30th, 2007, The USCIS has proposed to allocate more funds toward the name check process. And the FBI indicated that additional funding would allow them to add more staff to speed up the process and reduce backlogs. Many are skeptical, but we certainly hope that they will achieve some of the goals this time.

    When he was noting down all my info, I mentioned about LUD on my I-140 (approved) for 8-5-07 and he said.. it does mean anything since they still need to mail applicants receipts no matter what stage is your application is processed under.

    Sent my application on Jul 2nd by 9:01 to NSC. Checks not cashed yet. No updates of any kind !!!! Want to find out if anyone else in the same situation. Thanks..

    I have sent an email to CISOmbudsman.Publicaffairs@dhs.gov and they responded with the following email content.



    Dear Sir/Madam:



    Thank you for contacting the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (CISOMB) in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

    In order to review your case you must complete and sign the Form DHS 7001. The form can be found on our website at DHS | Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (http://www.dhs.gov/cisombudsman).

    We are attaching the form for your convenience. You may submit your form via-email as an attachment. In addition, please send a copy of I-140 approval notice. If you have an attorney please complete and sign Form G-28 as well.



    We appreciate your email and look forward to reviewing your case.



    Sincerely,

    Office of the CIS Ombudsman

    so I need to send DHS-7001 form and I-140 approval notice.

    I have one more question too, Should I send G-28 form also.

    Please give me some suggestions on this.

    Thanks in advance
    I did not send G-28 even though I have an attorney. I think that part is only if you want them to respond to your attorney rather than yourself.

    Here are the answers to line numbers 10, 11, etc...

    10 - Choose (b) and (iv) within (b)

    11 - Choose (b)

    13 - I chose (b) and (c) since I had done both of those things. You should choose accordingly.

    14 - I left this one blank because I did not want to involve the attorney

    15 and 16 - Just write your name and sign. Make all family members do this to avoid separate forms for each

    17 - Leave this one blank once again because it is only if you want them to respond to your attorney.

    Good idea kumar1, once this rollercoaster ride is over and settled.. we should start an anti-Lou Dobbs Youtube session. I will definately contribute in whatever way I can.. uploading videos, editing etc.


    Lou Dobbs and CNN runs an hour long "Hate Immigrants" Program every night Monday to Friday. He repeatedly calls US immigration as a failed system, H1-B and L1...as cheap labor and stealing American jobs, he has big problem with China and China's developing economy, He blames foreigners for bad economic condition of California. He proudly uses the word "Illegal Alien". His program "Lou Dobbs Tonight" is nothing less that someone in Iran running a hate show against America. Lou Dobb always called CIR as "So Called Grand Amnesy"! Once this July visa bulletin fiasco settles down, we need to get together and attack this guy, every night so that he can stop his hate propoganda.

    Who said that those 10 guys are committing fraud. They are going by the books, which allow them to file GC for future employment. Even from the employer standpoint, you cannot prove that any fraud has been committed.


    Why don't you just ask those 10 guys you know are comitting fraud ( by not joining the desi consulting companies and trying to workaround etc ) which company\companies they are working with and then file a complaint with DOL about them. I am sure DOL would surely look into their workings and will very very surely find out that they are doing something illegal in other things ( even if this is not one of them ). Those companies will get blacklisted and will set an example for other companies.

    But I don't think you should stop anyone who is doing it legitimately. If one qualifies for EB2 and has been in the queue for a long time he has the right to do it.

    Just now I spoke to customer service regarding the offer and they said that it is for existing customers for now....may be they will make it available soon for all......

    As per my conversation with Customer Supprt is that she sugested me to sign up with 4.95plan and after 30 days I am eligible for Hello World Max plan (Unlimited calling for 101 countries)
    Link for the plan details - https://www.lingo.com/shop/promotions/helloworldmax.jsp (you can't sign up from this link)

    Below are my comparisons with respect to the vonage
    Advantages
    1) There is less tax compared to vonage, Customer Supprt said around 5 dollars
    2) Lingo has very nice feature that you can call from the cell phone by using LINGO account, each account eligible to register for 2 cell phones, so that both can call and you dont have to be at home all the time to call internationally

    Disadvantages
    3) 2 Years Service agreement
    4) Referral is only applies to the person who refers another customer

    I think with this Vonage also will come up calling from cell phone option......

    Ok. I am finally beginning to see your point. If the objective of your exercise is to eliminate alleged non-genuine EB2 jobs, that really don't exist, but are simply advertised just for the sake of porting by unscrupulous companies who stand to gain money by this, then you certainly are making a valid point.

    But I still do not understand how a lawsuit will help? Was the labor-sub elimination the result of a lawsuit? Also, I would be concerned about lots of other valid/genuine companies who really have jobs for BS + 5 years experience ...?

    The argument is same for why labor substitution was done away with. The bottom line is it was abused.

    Don't drag me into this.. It is totally cool if you want get information from multiple sources.. IV intention is not to provide news updates..

    IV is a platform for fixing legal immigration.. That takes money to do that.. So there various innovative ways an organization can try get money to reach its goals.. This is one way..

    I support and understand this initiate and hence I am writing in Donor forum..

    I am not sure if u were born as an idiot or became an idiot after being turning a so called "donor".
    To be frank I stopped contributing as and when IV started having donor forums.

    There are thousands of websites and forums througout the internet to get info and what VKBris posted may not even come close to what Q and Teddy and so many others used to share as a group.

    Now coming on to freebies,What benefit does IV provide to past contributors.I have contributed in the past, have been active at the initial stages,have spent my own money and booked airtickets to meet senators.Been a leader in a state chapter.But later realised that it was not worth for this forum which has partitions among so called donors.

    Why the heck does any one want to see in a home page about posts on a donor forum.Just hide it and keep it among yourself and discuss .

    Now red may follow,and a possible ban.
