reedandbamboo, sweetjungle, bawa,
Please refrain from using the terms "Indian legal immigrant community" in your communication with OMB. IV represents the skilled legal immigrant community in general and not immigrants from only one country. Doing this defeats our own cause and divides us. As a matter of fact I know several people who belong to EB2 ROW whose PDs are 2005-2006 and they are still waiting.
IV was established to represent legal immigrants from all over the world. Please do not indulge in such divisive campaigns. You have been warned.

Our service center is Texas Center and the dates -
Priority Date - Oct 18 2004
485 Received Date - Aug 17th 2007
485 Notice Date - Oct 16th 2007
The current processing time for Texas Service Center is August 23rd 2007. Do they process based on reciept date or notice date? From the past experience we know that they donot process based on priority dates (We have been current for 3 times in the past and saw approvals for PD's in 2006 with earlier notice and receipt dates)

Can you please answer the following questions?
1. What led to this interview? Did they schedule the interview or you took an infopass appointment?
2. When IO reviewed your case, did they look at your physical I-485 file? Did the service center transfer your case to the USCIS office you went for the interview?
Wish you luck.
I have no idea why I was interviewed
Yes.,.they had all my forms and xerox copies with them..transferred from TSC to NBC to Field office

Could not able to understand from where this EB2 Vs EB3 scenario came up, silly.
If somebody says EB3 filer is inferior to EB2 (in a way), then it is ridicules. Being said that, nobody has asked to them to opt for EB3, it was just the situation they were in when they started their GC journey. Let it be their educational qualification, experience or job requirement, they opted to go with EB3 with full consciousness and also due to some compelling reasons. If EB2 dates are moving forward why EB2 filers needs to be blamed / targeted for that? This doesn’t make any sense either.
Also, now nobody is stopping them to convert from EB3 to EB2.
Let us just stop this EB2 Vs EB3 crap and do something constructive. These kinds of fights will not take us anywhere.
Coming back to the topic of this thread, WHY WE ARE HESITATING TO FILE A LAW SUIT? Any answers?????

Hi all:
Thanks for all your advice and understanding. I could not post earlier as we were busy following up the case with the authorities. I have two lawyers on board and a wonderful, unexpected, child abuse NGO person helping us deal with the situation. Most importantly, the baby is in perfect condition after having everything scanned and reviewed with two pediatricians�.it is possible, as one person helping us mentioned that the rough handling may appear exaggerated on the video bcos low resolution cameras sometimes exaggerate slower movements into sudden and forceful movements (I don�t fully understand)- which is also ok w/ me as my child having been safe is more imp to me....at the minimum she will be deported and barred from entry, or likely fully convicted and behind bars...from what I have heard till now, we will likely not be penalized as there are some protection and immunities in these cases for those who testify (and most certainly INS will never be involved)�and at most there may be some fines�
....and to some others who have misread a few things I mentioned: a/ the baby did not remain with the nanny for even a second after we suspected something fishy b/ we were not saving money with this nanny: 350$ (plus food, commute, and phone cards is above average here even for a legal worker. Also we selected her after observing her (and earlier another nanny) at home for 2 weeks with the baby while my mom-in-law was there and all of us had felt for some reason that she was the better one��..and to everybody with kids: no matter how much you trust your nanny, however well referenced they are- use a nannycam�.you may amazed at what you see�.there is something about having the whole house to yourself with an infant that makes some people crazy- so that their suppressed anger/envy and whatever else is hidden comes out on a poor speechless baby.
I rarely post but I have a 9 month old baby and was really upset to hear this. I am so glad you decided to report this and commend you for it. I hpe everything works out and this awful woman can never work near children again. And if I ever consider hiring a nanny I will be sure to get a nannycam

This ain't nothing. Wait until the second wave of labor substituted EB3 applicants port their case from EB3 to EB2 or EB1 .Talk about a double whammy. Except a bigger hit in the next year or two when most of the porting succeeds.
Labor substitution may be legal but it is unethical. When everything depends on when you join the queue, how can one cut the line?
Whereas EB3 to EB2 porting is both legal and ethical. When you have a EB3 applicant that is waiting in line for 8 years, he/she had already gathered that much experience based on his long wait. Also, if you look at EB2, it is one of the highly abused category. The EB3 applicant who started in 2001 has joined the line half a decade before the one with 2006 Eb2 PD. One can't really accuse him/her for cutting the line just like one can about substitutes! If the EB3 porting case deserves merit, then I strongly support it!
My intention is not to to start a fight. But we need to see the true picture. Without acknowledging the problem how can we fix it?
Bottom line, GC abuses need to stop and we should fight for it as much as we fight for our rights to get GC!

Those who came between 2000 and 2005 are not getting GC approved , because of some loop holes , those who came in 2007 are getting 485 approved. Is it not unjustince to people who applied earlier? This issue is not similar from EB3 to EB2 etc.
I hope IV will bring this to the notice of USCIS ASAP.
The biggest injustice is unfair country quota (atleast without taking respective population of different countries in to account), think about it. Potato-eater eating so much potato, he doesn't have time to update his profile also. I hope we spend time and enegry for 'unused visa recapture' and 'end of discrimination based on country of birth i.e. retrogression' rather than fighting for such smaller issues out of mere jeolous. If you spend energy and efforts at right place, everyone will get benefit.

Here is another case:
My minor daughter's Last name was missing in her passport but all her immigration documents (I-94/H4/AOS- r. n/ EAD/SSN, yes she got ead for ssn but never used it till date) somehow had her first name + LAST NAME. We initially ignored her missing last name in the passport but during her AOS finger priniting, asc guy noticed missing last name, made a noting in their system as "LNU" and advised us to get it fixed. We went to Indian consulate, Chicago and got the last name entered in passport, after due paper formalities.
My question to you guys is: Do we need to do anything else with respect to her AOS as all her uscis documents including I-94/H4/EAD/ssn, are already wth first name + last name ?
Any suggestions on this sitution will be appreciated !
If First/Last name in all immigration related applications/docs match with entries in corrected passport, I don't think you need anything else. Green Card, when received, should have entries as in passport.

I disagree, On IV homepage and website there are so many links of appeals. Just issing another appeal will not make a difference. I do not think a lot of us really need a greencard. A lot of my friends these days tell me not to worry about greencard after having EAD.
IV is our only hope. If you want you can contact AILA or your lawyer for help and see if they can help you. I bet a lot of us cannot even have the courage to blame our lawyers who take our money and give poor service. Just because IV core is like us and we can write anything, we feel free to blame them.
I disagree with the OP and feel that the fault is in the community. We do not really want greencards that bad.
The appeals are only for recapture of visa. They are not about USCIS's random acts and unethical practices. They are not about what USCIS has been doing for the past two months. What use is recapture if it is not issuing GC's or doing that randomly or not doing that at all . Think about it:
1. One can have his PD current for 2 years and not get his GC. Meanwhile, he can loose his job and not get a similar one. All his steps go into drain forever.
2. He cannot do any other thing like open up a business.
3. He cannot get a house for the fear of being rejected.
4. He cannot even do his present job confidently. For example, I have somebody trying to abuse my situation in my office and I cannot give him a hard reply simply because my status is hanging in there.
And yes, we do need GC's but the first step is not getting GC. The first step is to make USCIS accountable, ethical, efficient, honest and transparent.(All these things are missing in USCIS) How come a person with PD 2003 is waiting and the one with PD 2006 get his GC ? IV should raise questions on this. (Not all method involve money..I have given an example of writing letters and sending pamphlets)
1. Is the practice of USCIS ethical ?
2. Is it acceptable ?
3. Would such actions if done to US citizens be acceptable ?
I think there is no action towards this at all.

Addendum:
I remember the IO asking my spouse about being a member of a job-related professional association. My spouse used to be a member of such an organization and mentioned so. The IO then remarked that such membership is a requirement for such kind of a job. She then just let it go, however.
You say that she asked you wife about being a member of some orog. Did the IO already knew that per her own investigation or di you guys mentioned that to her prior to her asking abou it.
