No one know what goes in the consulate office but what you can do is call the local vfs office and tell them what happend and ask them to see if the consulate has handed out ur PP to the couriour company. They might have some information for you.

In same vein, driving on road is privillege not a right.
With 'privillege' you have to follow existing rules religiously then if it was a 'right'.
Well if we were to carry your reasoning a little bit further ...being a citizen of a country, any country, is only a privilege and not a right as you have to follow the rules and laws of the country.
The actual difference is in the definition as has been pointed out earlier.....
"right" - is something you can ask for because you think it is reasonably fair
"privilege" - is something you are not entitled to or deserve but nevertheless get because someone condescended to give it to you.
By the above definitions what would would classify getting permanent residence as.... the answer lies in the broader way of how we look at life and live it.
Do we always live in fear and cower in front of real and imagined threats - the GC is then a privilege.
Or do we live an honest life - do the best we can - and stand up for what we think is right or wrong irrespective of whether our lives are directly affected or not. The GC then is a right.

If in 485 denial it is due to ability to pay and they state so in 485 denial and you were paid labor wage from priority date until you left and were eligible for ac21 then the denial would not have been in error and you would be fine.
I assume you meant to say "denial would have been in error".

There are more than just national anecdotes, however. Everyday Americans are affected. Since looking into the H-1B visa program, some of my constituents have come to me and spoken out against abuses they see.
Another constituent sent me a letter saying that he saw firsthand how foreign workers were brought in while Iowans with similar qualifications were let go. He tells me he is a computer professional with over 20 years experience. He was laid off and has yet to find a job. He states: I believe [my employer] has a history of hiring H-1B computer personnel at the expense of qualified American citizens.
I received a letter from a man in Arizona who works for a company that employs dozens of H-1B workers. When he asked his supervisor why so many foreign nationals were being hired, the head of human resources said: If the company has an American and a person from India, both with the same skill set, the company will hire the person from India because they can pay them less. These are firsthand stories from U.S. workers.
I ask those begging for an increase in foreign workers to explain these cases to me. Why are Americans struggling to get jobs as software developers, data processors, and program analysts?

You could lose your job to a foreign worker�not because he�s cheaper but because he has better workplace skills and discipline. That�s the message Labor Secretary Elaine Chao hears from U.S. executives who are worried about America�s competitive future.
Beyond the cheaper cost of labor, U.S. employers say that many workers abroad simply have a better attitude toward work. �American employees must be punctual, dress appropriately and have good personal hygiene,� says Chao. �They need anger-management and conflict-resolution skills, and they have to be able to accept direction. Too many young people bristle when a supervisor asks them to do something.�
As for our job future, Chao notes that most of the fastest-growing jobs today are in industries requiring advanced knowledge and skills and are �very high or high wage.�

I think even if we do not go as far as monetizing every aspect of IV (which I also think we shouldn't) but there should be certain privileges, which should only be there for paid members. If it pisses off a few souls, let be it.
I think, this is the least we can do as IV members, i.e. contribute (and I am sure $20 a month is not an amount folks cannot come up with) but I guess they must be enjoying the free lunch. Let them enjoy it but take away the privilege of posting new messages and getting there questions answered when they cannot even help themselves.

I won't be a member at all...because if we make anything mandatory and don't let people realize what we are doing...i think people won't become member...
There are so many (lazy) people who access this site and not even bother to become member...
it is like catch 22...If u charge membership fee we will not give access to any of our forums for guests (it should be otherwise what is the use of taking membership)...if u don't give access to our forums how people know what IV is doing...
again it is my personal opinion...i may be wrong...
will you be member? I would propose we charge a mere $25 fee for registering and then monthly contribution of say $25. Then we run special funding drives for lobbying when ever required. Will you be a paid member to come out of GC mess?
Please participate in the poll.

Hi Gurus,
I need an advice from you.
The situation:
-- Involved in a collision few months back. As I had rear ended the vehicle, as per the investigation, it was found it was my fault(80% mine - 20% others)
-- Now after more than 18 months, I get a law suit for 3.25 million dollars(. This was served against ppl who were involved. Right now my I have my EAD and AP and maintaining H1 status.
So what are my options now?
1. Check with attorney and start defending..?
2. pack the bags and go back to my country ? If so, will there be any issues in coming back again, say after 3,4 years?
3. What about my GC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I guess it would be a biggest decision of my life ..
Thx,
PD is Nov 2006.
Sorry to hear about your case. Trust me, such liability suits are extremely common these days in America, and there is no cause for alarm as long as you take all the necessary steps.
If you had liability insurance for your auto at the time of the accident, the first thing you have to do is to call that insurance company and let them know about the lawsuit. THEY will hire and pay for a lawyer to defend you. If you want to be even more comfortable, you might also hire another defense attorney by yourself.
The catch is, your insurance lawyer will only defend you upto the amount of liability mentioned in your insurance. If there is any judgement over that amount, your personal assets are at stake. This happens only in very very rare scenarios. Most of the times, such lawsuits are settled out-of-court. The amount mentioned in the lawsuit ($3.25 M) is totally irrelevant- what they would eventually get (if any), will be far far away from this figure.
Assuming that there are no criminal charges, and this is a civil tort case, there will be no impact on your immigration proceedings at all.
Make sure you take all the paperwork very seriously and do not ignore any letter/notice/deadlines. Don't even think of running away- its not worth losing your career you have worked so hard for. Unless yours is an extremely unusual case, all that you stand to lose is several nights of sleep and thats all.

I can think of following reasons in the order of relevence :
- We've got highest level of tolerence in the world as individuals and as society (probably that's why british could rule for 150 years :) ) and please don't shoot me, i'm not saying it's bad. just a fact.
- Feeling of insecurity because of being in a foreigner country or because of not being a part of majority.
- lack of knowledge of our rights/duties which sometimes causes guilty feeling when you think "I'm objecting to something that i agreed to whole heartedly, yesterday".
- going to court/authorities is considered bad in many culstures (as a famous Marathi saying goes "a wise man should not climb court's door-stpes ")
- "I don't have time", "I don't wan't the hassle" or "Jaane do" attitude.
- Is there anyone who still thinks along the lines of "maine aapka namak khaaya hai.." ? i don't think so.

I would say the activity in state chapter participation is '5%' at best in contributing members. By that token, you can ignore the non-contributing members. I see thousands of messages in retrogression and like forums while I see hardly dozens of messages in state chapters forums.
Take the example of state Texas, it has one of the largest pool of House Reps in congress and folks impacted by retrogression in this state is very high. Most of these House Reps are anti-immigrant. I am not sure if it is for both legal and illegal. In TX, there is no state chapter activity for the last 4 months. I called for a meeting, not one responded. I think IV core should come up with a specific schedule for each of the state chapter meetings and also core team should assign a contact for each of the state chapters. Core team should also participate in these meetings to provide a directed leadership. If need be, induct more members into core team..

i dont understand......why did you choose to go through this hell??
can you please explain??........i thought france is a developed country with almost same opportunities as USA??
if someone from somalia.....goes through this ordeal its understandable.....
People choose to come here for plenty of different reasons: professional, economical, family or a combination of everything.
Yes, France is a developed and rich country and, if I had stayed there, I would certainly be today in a much better situation, professionaly and financially!
So, I certainly did not come here for the $$. It is extremely simple: it was just my childhood dream to live here and I am proud today that I made it.
Yes, I had to go through that ordeal and I did not "choose" to do it, it just happened. I was just stuck in that infernal situation.
Would I do it again, even to fulfill my dream? Certainly not, I am not that mad. Will it prove worth it eventually? I don't know yet.
The truth of the matter is: how do you know in advance what lies ahead?
If we always knew, life would be too easy, don't you think so?
Nobody would make mistakes or wrong choices.
So, was I right or wrong to go through all this? Well, again, I don't know.
Time will tell...

I would love to go back to my country i.e India but the problem is there are already tons of people in there and I seriously think they are more brilliant, intelligent and hardworking than me.
If I go back I would be burden to that country so I prefer to stay back with my lazy and un-motivated attitude and also the environment suites me for getting me laid every time I need one.

My appointment was on the 12-Dec. Visa was approved immediatly but haven't received the passport yet. I receive the same response when I call.. that its under PIMS verification. No ETA of when I can expect it to be done..
I had a H1 transfer to a new employer and 3 year extension happen at the same time. I am not sure what the problem is and what I can do. I am totally stressed out and really depressed ..
If someone has done something thats helped their case move along.. please PM me or reply to this post.. Thanks !
