GLUS,
Can you tell us more about communicating to ALIF? Is it via email?
I think all the folks who visit this thread must send out a complaint.
Also please contact your attorneys and tell them to complain on this half baked PIMS implementation.
My wife received her approval email from Mumbai consulate yesterday. When I contacted my attorney, he asked that after she returns to the US, to send him more details and he will lodge a complaint with the DOS through his liaison.

Guyz, this is what my theory about Responsibility.
Any loan is 100% risk in theory.
In Debt-based economy (such as US primarily) Bank (or lender) has obligation to verify if the loaner is capable of paying the monthly mortgage. Especially when they are giving 0% down and false documentation (HIGH RISK LOANERS) they assess that mortgage highest risk.
Now, there are financial institutions who will combine the all these mortgages into big pile and spin-off into mortage-backed securities. There are agencies rating these into A+, A++, A+++, B+ blah blah...
Watch PBS network for this.
These securities are bought out by some other companies (may be good companies who never would have loaned these HIGH RISK LOANERS).
Now this goes on goes on and crosses country boundaries in the current global economical CHAIN.
Everyone thought that (blindsighted) Mortgage prices are going to go up no matter what. But if you are not creating jobs which will drive internal growth of these economies how are you going to get more DEMAND?
Hence, when US market goes down, Japan suffers, China suffers and India too (software exports cutback etc).
So, the level responsibility and ethical conduct applies to EVERYBODY in this chain.
We are all part of it directly or indirectly weather we say yes or no. The naysayers do not know complete picture, I assume. Even I do not know complete picture yet.
However, common sense will taught you to be FAIR. So, anytime you say, I want to MAKE MONEY there is a catch of MIGHT LOOSE MONEY. Take anything. Even currency note says, IN GOD WE TRUST.
May God Bless Everyone!

Punjabi77,
Here is a list of things you can do to protect and improve you cash cushion (and may be avoid foreclosure)
1. If you drive one of those luxury cars that cost upwards of 25K and have paid it off. Get rid of it now. These cars depreciate more in dollar terms compared to cheaper cars. Buy a less expensive, no frill used car for 9-10K, put the difference in bank. That might bring in 10K of much needed cash. Even if you have not paid it off look for deals to sell and reduce your monthly payments.
2. Open an account at quicken online (http://quicken.intuit.com/online-banking-finances.jsp) it is free. Connect your banks and monitor ALL your expenses carefully. Find out what portion of spending is discretionary and cut down on it.
3. Hunt coupons, shop at Costco/Walmart (even if you hate the shopping experience). Avoid brand names and stick to Kirkland/Great Value. This might save you in monthly expenses.
4. Also, you can add cash by working part-time. I am not talking about those hard to come software moonlighting jobs. Any job that pays 10-12 an hour will add 12 x 4hr x 5days x 4 Weeks = $960 per month.
5. If you live in a duplex with a bathroom/bedroom downstairs, you can rent it to someone from local college/university. Underbid by quoting super low rent on craigslist and you can get $400-500 per month.
6. Use online services like LegalZoom (or Prepaid legal from work) to prepare contracts for rentals etc.
7. Cut down on travel/eating out and anything that you can live without. A little cash could go a long way.
Also, when it is hard to stay put and make payments, always remember there is a silver lining in owning a house too. If there is a hyper inflation (which is very likely) rents will sky rocket and salary might go up to keep pace with it, but your home mortgage frozen in time for next 20-30 years will remain unchanged and you could potentially have lower monthly expenses compared to renters. That's a bright side of staying put.
Hope things workout for you. Good Luck.

The funniest thing is 3/4 of the countries on the list are part of the erstwhile British empire. How's that for irony. They loot and dominate you on one hand and subject you to inane laws on the other. Here is a classic example of what is good for the goose is not good for the gander.
But here is another link to a funny article on the reverse
http://my.telegraph.co.uk/sigourd_shack/october_2007/thinking_of_travelling_to_india_for_a_holiday_or_b .htm
Found this on the site:
COUNTRY NATIONALS REQUIRING DIRECT AIRSIDE TRANSIT VISA:
AFGHANISTAN, ALBANIA, ALGERIA, ANGOLA, BANGLADESH, BELARUS, BURMA (MYANMAR), BURUNDI, CAMEROON, PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA, COLOMBIA, CONGO-BRAZZAVILLE, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (ZAIRE), ECUADOR, ERITREA, ETHIOPIA, GAMBIA, GHANA, GUINEA, GUINEA-BISSAU, INDIA, IRAN, IRAQ, IVORY COAST, KENYA, LEBANON, LIBERIA, MACEDONIA, MALAWI*, MOLDOVA, MONGOLIA, MONTENEGRO, NEPAL, NIGERIA, PAKISTAN, PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, RWANDA, SENEGAL, SERBIA, SIERRA LEONE, SOMALIA, SRI LANKA, SUDAN, TANZANIA, TURKEY, TRNC, UGANDA, VIETNAM, YUGOSLAVIA, ZAIRE (FORMERLY DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO), ZIMBABWE.
In other words:
Color of Skin: Different shades of Brown.
Language: Predominantly non English.
Facial Features: Non Anglo Saxon (Indian, Arab, Oriental, African)
Economic Condition of the Country: so so to very bad.
If all the above points apply to you, then you must apply for a DAT Visa.
BTW Did they exclude any African country from the list?

Mine is at TSC. PD: July 04. RD: Aug 17, 2007. ND: Oct 15, 2007. What is your RD and ND?
I have a feeling that the IO might look at the applications received on Aug 17, 2007, only at last. Its because, when I went for infopass, the IO said that, "You have filed on the last date, so you will have to wait".
Anyhow, I have tried all that I could, and now I leave it to the Almighty.

Hi Friends,
I am really sick and tired of my attorney. He is making money out of immigrants but he does not like immigrants based on our dicussion.
I think we are very well educated and can easily take care of 485 filing.
My attorney will charge me at least $3000 for it although I got his referral from AILA. On top of that he delays filing my PERM and 140 and having serious attitude problem.
I can easily take care of 485 filing by myself.
My only and great concern is- Is my attorney can screw up my GC processing if I fire him and file 485 on my own?
Your Thoughts..
Thanks!
I doubt that the lawyer would purposely hurt a former client. Its not just unethical, its really malpractice. And its not like lawyers done get fired and they cant handle getting fired.
However, please do make sure that you have all documents that you need to do your own 485 filing. If there are some documents like 140 approval or other stuff that only he has, then you will have to get it out of him, which he just might delay (a little) in case if he is an absolute nut job.
For me, I dont care what the lawyer thinks of immigrants as long as the job is done in a TIMELY manner without mistakes. If he hates immigrants and votes for Jeff Sessions, I dont care about it. All I want is TIMELINESS and ERROR FREE job. After that, he can hate anyone he wants and stick pins in voodoo dolls of immigrants.

Yes but on Monday morning it is NOT going to be current apparently. So, technically you did not send documents ( if you are getting it out on MONDAY) when they were current.
Just imagine, overnight bulletin was revised, what should we do? They did change it,if you know what I mean?

My 140 and 485s (with my wife as derivative )are from Nebraska and have a set of A#s,
again My wife's 140 and 485s (with me as derivative ) are from Texas and have a different set of A#s..
how to combine them and make uscis inform abt it???
Anybody any thoughts !!!
my lawyer is basically saying: if we get lucky then one gets approved and the other one can be withdrawn at that point; otherwise at some point USCIS is going to issue an RFE asking us to pick one of those two petitions and force us to withdraw one before they make a decision on the other. For now we are sitting tight, waiting to see what USCIS does.
