Overall - $5000.
Advance - $2500 within 30 days to start the work.
Is the overall work something like 100K that they have divided by the number of requests to yield 5K per request? Unlikely. I think they just sent standard 5K demand to each FOIA request to shut it down.
Even if they pay me $2500 for pulling out this info. Just 5 mins job to run the query and imagine if they get 10 requests per day. Man I wud be a millionaire within no time.
Atleast they acknowledged that it requires highly skilled individual(from their perspective) to do the job. :eek:

long story short - the grief of the anti-immigrant is... i can no longer view what's happening behind the scenes :(:( i was happy to keep quite and watch whats going on... but now i have to create commotion and risk being banned :(:(
About me: i m not a "donor" but I've donated in the past... and I've no problems with IV having donor only updates/discussions, because i know the simple fact - what the core and donors do, will in no way harm my interest :)
I don't participate in the effort as much... then i don't have any right to bark at ones who are doing it for me...

I don't know about the gulf. But Singapore and other Asian countries, pay structure is different for different race and skin color. This happens even if you have GC or citizenship from US.
when I mentioned about the pay structure based on Citizenship, I did'nt mean about race or skin color. there is a legal bilateral agreement between US, Canada and certain western nations, that if their citizen are hired in Gulf countries then the starting salary range is different. As far as discrimination in Singapore or other Asian nation you're right, especially Singapore, Malaysia etc..

President drives the policy. He decides which laws are to be considered, which policy is to be formulated. He tells that to the Congress asking Congress to fix an issue. Say President wants Social Security reform, he will ask congress the kind of social security reform he wants. If a member of congress agrees, he or she will propose a law. Majority leader in the Senate and House speaker schedules the vote on the floor and they drive their "House" but the policy is driven by the President. Veto is not the only thing that a President does although in the current Presidential debate, you will hear about the macho-ism of candidates based on how many bills he/she vetoed, as if to veto a bill Governor or future President will have to lift 500 pounds for the "people's sake".
Although there is always an urge to over simplify things in real life, maybe because over-simplifying makes us looks good by suggesting easy solutions to any complex situation, maybe that’s why we want to believe that Republicans are better than Democrats or Democrats are better than republicans, easy pick problem solved. But like most things in life, the immigration debate is so convoluted and complex that any one party is not for/against any specific issue. It is very easy to find republicans who are opposed to our provisions and democrats who want us out of here.
Also, here is a reason why I opened this thread and why comments from Sen. Obama to the question of employment based green card is important. I don’t know much about ever complex politics and immigration, but I am a frequent visitor to this site and learned a lot about the issue during Durbin Grassley bill. In CIR of 2007 had provisions that were designed to eliminate AC21 and visa extension beyond 6 years. If that happens now, a lot of people who really don’t care who wins the election will be asked to leave, in most cases immediately. 2007 CIR was designed by Sen. Durbin. Sen. Durbin is also Campaign Chair for Sen. Obama. Sen. Durbin will drive President Obama’s policy on green card and H1 issue. They may intend to stop so called “exploitation”, but in the process as always is the case, they will be foolish enough to pass such provisions to punish the people that are being “exploited”, which I guess is us. And if they pass laws to abolish AC21 Section 106 (a) & (b) and if they remove 7th yr H1 extension, which at this time is tip of the ice-berg, I hope you can imagine how rest of the things will shape up. My intent of opening this thread was to find out the intensity of Sen. Obama’s reply and see if his administration will be able to withstand an onslaught from Sen. Durbin in preventing any foolish provisions that have not been thought through.
I guess now you see the relevance of the position of Sen. Obama on this issue.
And BTW, "interested in legal immigration" is a very lose term. It can mean lot of things. The writing is on the wall, be prepared for the Durbin roll-over in Obama administration. If you are waiting for the green card next year, you was in deep deep very cold water.

Can you send multiple applications in the same package.
Coz. my attorney gave me a tracking number and there are almost 4 names in the reference section of the Fedex Online Tracking System.
As long as they are separated inside with rubber bands and cover sheets, this is OK. This is very typical of how most law firms do it. This is actually covered in tips on how to assemble your packet. You are fine.
Don't worry. Take Relax (something someone I know used to say :) )

An infopass IIO has no way to find out from the CLAIMS3 system whether the AC21 actually reached your file. I have a hunch that since they included your new G-28 your AC21 docs are also included in your file.
Do not worry... just maybe a few anxious days and you will be all set:)
I got some more information from InfoPass
They have received G-28 and i saw my present attorney address which is good. Because my present attorney will receive the denial notice.
2nd, The AC21 letter never reached them..... Somehow blackhole swallowed it....
Still waiting on Denial notice.

You may be all right as far as your discussion is concerned but for the following one:
1000 people * $20 each = $20 K. So that is not an impossibility.
1000 people donating 20 bucks each, dude you are day dreaming. If you are seriously into this law suit stuff, be prepared to speand MONEY, TIME, ENERGY of your own and not 20$ from your side.
Did you not hear about how Aman spent 60+K of his own. So.....
I contributed around 300$ till now to IV.
I am one of the several may be thousand who have been affected. I am not using this for my slefish purposes. I am trying to get the suppoprt of IV and its members for this cause. I am not disagreeing with IV in any way.
This is an agenda for a common cause for all affected people and I want everyone to support.
Someone has to sow the seed and start the process. Doesn't mean since I started the thread it is my selfish agenda. It is part of IV's goal to get justice for all people who are affected by any immigration issue. So IV is the right forum to raise this issue.

My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.

exactly same thing with me...
It depends on the occupation, obviously for a welder or cook level II will be pretty low. For say a mechanical or electrical engineer or physicist - entry-level position requiring a MS degree the max level will be level II.
For positions requiring PhD or MS+experience it will be Level III or IV.
In conclusion, an applicant for such a position can be classified as EB2 even if wage is at Level II.
Level I can never be EB2.
To get the most accurate information, pls filter only Level I and occupations like cooks, welders, technicians. USCIS has been reluctant to approve EB2 for "computer programmers", they have approved EB2 for other advanced computer-related professions

The categories are determined by the *birth* country of the applicant, not where they are (in whatever status). So if you happen to born in, say, India, then you are in the quota for India even if you are a citizen/permanent resident of U.K.

I recieved my I-140 receipt notice finally from Nebraska Service Center, it does not have the A#, may be due to the fact that I belong to EB3 category.
As one of my friend who is in EB2 category has an A# on his receipt notice which he got yesterday from Texas Service Center.

Same sex marriage couples cannot sponser for GC?
But they can get Insurance coverage and family benifits from the state.
May be USCIS to prevent malpractice by the people to get the GC.
I understand what you are saying. Both, the applicant (or applicant's attorney) and CIS shold follow the correct procedure. However, there should be no elation to getting a GC when the PD is not current, hence there should be no distress for its "revocation" - which again is a matter of semantics, there is no GC, hence there is no revocation.
I commented on what the applicant and the applicant's attorney should do based on what is ethically and legally appropriate. I did not comment on what USCIS may or may not do to resolve such a situation.
I understand the struggle you metion; I have been in the US since 1994, i lost my priority date of Aug 2002 due to impatience with the backlog center. I started my GC process in 2001! I had a job loss due to Hurricane Katrina. I am married to a US Citizen, but cannot get sponsorship from that marriage due to DOMA. The pity list goes on and on for each and everyone of us. So believe, me, i understand the aspect of "struggle" that each of us has had to endure or is still enduring in order to get a GC.
I don't see how I am biased, especially against myself - that doesn't make sense. I am not an attorney, obviously, but i work very closely with attorneys, well it is essentially my job to work with them and the bottom line in every contractual arranagement or when applying the law, comes down to what are the obligations of the entities involved whether it is a contract or the practical application of the law.

if my previous company revoke my visa after the new copmany filed for the transfer will this be a reason for ins to deny my h1b transfer?
Once you get a receipt for your H1 transfer application you can start working for the new employer. From that point onwards your H1 application is linked to your new employer and no longer dependent on your old employer. I would suggest follow up with USCIS regarding your case.

There has been some discussion about travel outside the US when one files for I-485. I found the official USCIS document (see the right hand side of page 4 on link below) that mentions that if you're on an "H" visa, which is the case for a lot of us, we can travel outside of the US without applying for advance parole.
