I disagree that substituted labors has really impacted immigration..Those labor certifications that were once filed were thought to be used for some one anyway. If the original applicant wasn't laid off or hadn't changed plans, he would still be ahead of the current pending applicants. It's not the biggest of our current problems.
Companies should not have filed GC for all the non-qualified idiots who are currently got ahead of us.

If you really think about it bro, we would have been better off not knowing this instead of knowing it...
what difference would it have made, if he just kept this to himself rather than disclosing it? how is getting this information out a great service to the people whose priority dates are current?
i was stressing out day after day waiting to see the magic email, strangely enough this piece of info has brought a closure and suddenly i am finding myself getting back to my normal routine.
I dont think getting this info out is a great service(i never said that) rather just mentioned to acknowledge effort/time someone put in to getting this info.
Whether u believe it or not is upto you, personally i have hopes that folks will keep seeing approvals.
peace

In the words of the person who sent this to me
I moved to the US on a H1 visa, from India 7 years ago. I have a Bachelors in Engineering and a Management degree as well. I work in the areas of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. An area of expertise that helps corporations here in the US become competitive and stay competitive. Among other benefits, my work aids businesses in making informed operational, tactical and strategic decisions and gain competitive advantage.
With this retrogression, It is going be several years before USCIS will even get to my file to adjudicate. While I understand a green card is not my right, I think I have worked towards it for a long time now. I am in this country legally, paying taxes, contributing to this economy, spending my earnings in this country like any other law abiding American citizen.
I have legally asked this country and USCIS for Permanent Residency (PR). My request for PR is not based on the premise that my parents/relatives live here and are citizens in this country. I am not even asking for Permanent Residency because of the country I come from. I am asking for Permanent Residency based entirely on my educational qualifications, professional expertise and the demonstrated contributions I have made to businesses and the American way of Life.
I have also been accepted as an Instructor at a reputed University in California where I will be teaching in my area of expertise. This clearly helps the American society and Industry.
When I moved to the US, I believed America is all about meritocracy. Work hard, prove your worth and you get what you truly deserve. I feel six years is enough time to prove your worth to get a Permanent Residency.
My tax returns, my legal Status documents, my contributions to this economy etc will prove it. What is really disconcerting is the fact that, now I have to continue to wait for I don't know how many more years for USCIS to even look at my credentials, let alone give me an up or down decision. Mind you this wait is not because of any delays attributable to me.
Is this fair ?
If you think you don't need me, at least tell me, in a reasonable period of time. Please do not make me wait indefinitely.

I think I know a few with PD < 2002 still waiting....Its hard to give up when you have waited so long....
Of course there are many, may be thousands who are waiting since 2002 or earlier. But the logic I gave was that these guys must have already filed their their AOS petitions in the interim years.
My point was that, there is no way so many ancient labors (pre 2001) can get cleared last month and cause depletion of visa numbers. There is only one explanation. These labors were pre-approved.

Our problem is that we do not want to accept this news. Unless we receive some confirmed news to contrary we should not blame someone who might have shared this news with us in good faith. Let's try to find out the truth first.
It may be right. One of my congresswomen assistants called up USCIS and they were told that due to many apps, there is lot of confusion and they will get back to her in week's time. Not sure but looks like USCIS/DOS has boned this up again :-)

Hi all,
I have been following this thread and some posts suggest that the Observation on the passport for correcting the name is sufficient. Here is my situation:
My passport had the name as:
Surname: A***********
Given name: P****
The correct name should be (since this is how I use it in the US now and it applies to all my docs here - GC, DL, school records, everywhere).
Surname: P****
Given name: A***********
I got this corrected in the Indian passport through an "Observation" on Page 3 which states:
The name of the passport holder appearing on Page 1 has been corrected to read as:
Surname: P****
Given name: A***********
Since this is not a "name change" as such but simply a re-alignment of the last and first names (often a source of confusion from India), I hope this is sufficient and I don't have to go through a name change to get a new passport book issued.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I read a posts by you all on immigration voice which said U.S newspapers can easily publish a name change Ad for $70!! But I hear that they need some kind of a court order to do that...Can I ask you which paper did you advertize in India and in U.S. I have the same problem as many others -- I have only one name on my passport "Kritee" and U.S. embassy when they gave me visa made it FNU (as first name) Kritee (last name). Now I want to add a first name to my passport and all documents in U.S...and am wondering if I need to go to a U.S. court or not? All and any help will be appreciated!
Thanks.

03/10/2009: Understanding Management, Uses, and Availability of Individual Private Records of USCIS Computer Immigration Benefits Information System
The USCIS published this information as part of its compliance with the Privacy Act. Understanding this information is helpful to the immigration stakeholders, immigrants, nonimmigrants, and related parties in handling immigratiopn benefits applications.
Benefits Information System: The DHS is managing the following computer information system relating the immigrant and nonimmigrant processings: SORN: CLAIMS 3, CLAIMS 4, the Redesigned Naturalization Application Casework System (RNACS); the Citizenship and Immigration Services Centralized Oracle Repository (CISCOR), the Interim Case Management System (ICMS), Integrated Voice Response System (IVRS), and the Integrated Card Production System (ICPS).
Purposes and Uses of the Information System: The records and information in the system broadly serves three purposes: (1) Automatic access and retrieval in immiration benefits and naturalization applications processing and adjudication for efficiency and fraud detections. (2) National and homeland security. (3) Information sharing with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies or other government and private entities within the parameters of the Privacy Act of the country. As for the purpose of achievement of efficiency of immigration benefits processing and adjudications, the system assists in the automated processing of f immigrant and nonimmigrant benefit petitions and applications. Both investigative and administrative records are maintained in this system to permit USCIS to function efficiently. Reports are also generated from the data within the system of records. This system of records notice enables DHS/USCIS to provide automated support to process applications and/or petitions for benefits; determine the status of pending applications and/or petitions for benefits; account for and control the receipt and disposition of any fees and refunds collected; conduct searches pursuant to FOIA and Privacy Act requests; and locate related physical and automated files to support DHS/USCIS responses to inquiries about these records.
Categories Individuals Covered: Persons who have filed (for themselves or on the behalf of others) applications or petitions for immigration benefits (other than asylum and refugee) under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, and/or who have submitted fee payments or received refunds from such applications or petitions; current, former and potential (e.g., fianc[eacute]) family members of applicants/petitioners; persons who complete immigration forms for applicants and petitioners (e.g., attorneys, form preparers); name of applicant's employer; and individuals who seek access to records retained in the Benefits Information System under the Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts (FOIA/PA).
Categories of Records in the System:
Individual's name;
Social Security Number (if applicable);
A-Number (if applicable);
Addresses;
Telephone numbers;
Birth and death information;
Citizenship or nationality;
Immigration status;
Marital and family status;
Personal characteristics (e.g., height and weight);
Records regarding tax payment and financial matters;
Records regarding employment;
Medical records;
Military and Selective Service records;
Records regarding organization membership or affiliation;
Biometric and other information collected to conduct background checks;
DHS issued card serial numbers;
Records regarding criminal history and other background check information; and
Case processing information such as date applications were filed or received by USCIS; application/petition status, location of record, FOIA/PA or other control number when applicable, and fee receipt data.
Record and Information Safeguards: Records in this system are safeguarded in accordance with applicable rules and policies, including all applicable DHS automated system security access policies. Strict controls have been imposed to minimize the risk of compromising the information that is being stored. Access to the computer system containing the records in this system is limited to those individuals who have a need to know the information
for the performance of their official duties and who have appropriate clearances or permissions. The system maintains a real-time auditing function of individuals who access the system. Additional safeguards may vary by component and program.
It ain't interesting? Don't try to be outsmart over the federal institutions! For additional details, readers may review the USCIS published notice.
can't they join two tables or data to find out that information ? Why they want to hide from us ?

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

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
