Good job folks, there's still 2 hours in ET and 5 hours in PT for the day to end and I'm hopeful of reaching the magic number of 46 members contributing by end of tonight, if you are on the border and unsure about contributing...please read on...otherwise click on the "contribute now" button ..
I attended the "conference in Boston" earlier this month to which three core members had flown in and had the first hand opportunity to discuss with them. The dedication and resolve they showed approaching key people in lawmakers office was just so inspirational. Specifically, the way Aman was talking to individual IV members without taking anything for granted. None of it was for individual cause but for the entire team which means "you". So the best we could do is help the group financially and provide the means to approach for more stronger lobbying efforts. Let's be real, at the end of the day, money talks in the senate ! and we all can contribute little by little and provide the backbone for us and incoming generations..so let's do it folks, please step up...all required is $20 per member...
OK, I'll shut up now...

i guess with more EB3 folks moving to EB2, it will help those of us who are stuck with no option to move to EB2. :)
i think they need to make a rule where if you are stuck more than 5 years due to retrogression, all over flow visas need to be first given to those folks in the order of PD.

Please create a poll and also start a special funding drive. I am committing $ 200 for this effort.
Hopefully desi3933 can come by and perform a reality check on this proposal.
An interesting idea to say the least. Out of box suggestion.
However, there are few things, from legal point of view, it needs to overcome. I will post my detailed comments this afternoon.
Once again, this is a great idea!

It is good idea. And ofcourse better than visa number, EB1/EB2/EB3 and all other crap. Countries like UK, Canada, etc. have similar kind of immigration policies.
Even after having such a relaxed immigration rules, only leftovers go to Canada, UK and Australia.

We understand your frustration, but we would need some more info from you. Could you please look at the first post in this thread and send us your info.
We already have about 30 stories sent to us and the truth is we are in much better shape now when we go to meet senators. We can actually point out examples and not speak in general terms which makes them sit up and listen.

hello guys, i just went through all the 6 pages but still am confused.
This is how my name appears on my passport:
First name- ______(blank!)
Last Name- Ravneet.
one every US document including SSN, License, Job, its listed as FNU Ravneet.
I am on F1 visa, working on my OPT. My student visa just expired but my OPT-EAD is valid till june09. I feel very embarassed when asked" how do u say ur first name", I need to have it changed, could somebody tell me step by step the process involved.
I can drive to NY consulate and have my passport changed, but then how to change every US document, I mean would a expired US visa be a issue? My EAD is valid and I am legally in status. Please guide!
It is clear that FNU stands for First Name Unknown. Question is why did you allow this to happen even in your first document. Perhaps for passport you didn't bother because it is blank, but letting FNU appear as your first name in a document does not make any sense. First thing should be to try for the passport office, and hope that they will correct it based on whatever your documentation (school certificate etc) can support. Perhaps it might be that what is shown as your last name, is in fact your first name, etc.

Hi All,
I recently had my last name added on my Passport. I just submitted for updating the SSN. Couple of questions:
1. Does anybody know if I need to run the payroll and also file the taxes with new name on the SSN once it's been updated. I still need to file my 2009 taxes.
2. Do I need to inform USCIS about this or it should be OK if I just submit the new name on I-129 when I apply for renewal later this year.
3. I maintain H1B expiring Sept 2010. I might need to travel to India before expiration with the current visa. Do I need to do anything to avoid name confusion at POE?
Please share your experience. Appreciate your time.
Thanks
North American naming conventions are clear, it has two essential parts, First Name and Last Name. Third part, the middle name is optional, and is also insisted upon, if you have one, to be written in full on all legal docs, such as PP, SS card etc.
Addition of something to your name probably is not adding your last name. It is rather changing your last name, legally speaking.
Therefore, this perhaps needs to be treated as a change of name, and you might need necessary legal docs to prove that, while trying to change for your taxes or other legal docs. Merely having a new passport with something added to your name, may or may not work.

That the dates did not jump too much in September for EB2-I is probably good news as it may not retrogress in October or in the following months. Even if it did retrogress in december or january, I don't believe it will go back beyond mid 2004.
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2sEgYzquRuE/SoTFPNVXWII/AAAAAAAACPI/E1xEdDUsYok/s1600-h/Cut-off+Date+Tracker.JPG
I have been tracking the cut-off date movements since the 2007 fiasco and plotting them graphically at My Blog (http://negamam.blogspot.com) which is also inserted above. As you can see, if you click on the image, EB2 dates have been very volatile, but the volatility is coming down over time. There has not been any instance in the past (except july 2007) when the dates moved significantly up one month and rapidly retrogressed in the next. Any significant movement forward has stayed at least for a couple of months, and potentially for 3-4 months or longer. So, October bulletin should have the same dates for EB2-I.
EB3, on the other hand, has been very predictable. It will be close to November 2001 in the October visa bulletin and inch up slowly.

Ok guys if at all this helps someone.......
My old passport had my surname as FNU,Given name as X **Y** Z**
My visa also has the same.
My I94 which i filled out has First name Z **and family name X** Y(only Initial).
When i renewed my passport i had it as
Surname X**
Given name Z** Y**
It was just the way i filled our the application and though they told me the name would be the same as in the previous one they issued based on what i filled up.
All my school records have X.Y.Z**
I had consulted my attorney and she said that USCIS is aware of thie name confusion and as long as all the names are there there should not be any problems.It doesnt matter if they are jumbled.Now even if she was wrong i am not worried at this stage.
I have made up my mind to handle an issue when it comes.Y do we want to confuse with unnecessary fears.Planning ahead is good as long as it gives us peace,but not at the cost of our peace.
So relax and enjoy.Good luck.

We members of IV focus only for legal immigrants who haven't and will not break the law.
I love your holier than thou condescending attitude. You probably break some law everyday ! Don't tell me you have never been speeding. You probably didn't get caught !
I shouldn't even be replying to your post, but I'll bite and take the bait.
I didn't break the law knowingly, I did come here legally. I just happened to fall in love with someone and moved to her state. It's too bad it didn't work out, however I have maintained legal status after leaving the country and re-entering, back in '04. Look at the chronology.
Please try to offer constructive criticism or information. If you don't have any, move on.

Truly agree with you and thomachan72. Not sure why folks disagree on this case without humane treatment. And that too for such cases when a pregnant woman who will not be running away during her labor pains - why needs to be shackled ?
In fact once my post started I was abused by many and redded too. Gave a green for you here. Again I am not supporting illegal immigration or undocumented stay. Anything which is legally punishable is fine as its law. But there are cases that have to be attended with leniency (at least this case).
its unbelievable what attitude some have on here...many on here are anti-illegal immigration which is understandable...but how can you condone such inhumane treatment...we are not animals...illegals are economic refugees in a way
just cause most of us on here were blessed to come up in decent families who afforded our education...it doesnt give us a right to treat the less fortunate with no dignity...what a shame
always "treat others the way you want to be treated"

Students,
Please make sure your EAD doesnt start before October 2008. That way, you will have 2 complete chances of getting H1 if things wont change even after presidential elections.
General Rule of thumb is "Graduate in august put start date as October 1st for your OPT"
This is not easy coz when we graduated in 2000-2001 area we didnt had to choose some date just bcoz the visa ia not available. We used to worry more about getting a good job than this visa and we used graduate when coursework & thesis are complete. I think things have changed drastically.
Hope this helps.
