yes that is true. I did not had any problem with mortgage. Atleast as of today, it is illegal to deny mortgage based on immigration status. If you have any idea of buying a house, it is better to do it before any law changes if at all there is one in the pipeline as you(madhuri) suspect.
It is all how you see your life. Just concentrate your energies on positive stuff you have. This will bring you more energy and most importantly, it will bring more for those who sorrounds you like your family. Peace in family is very important to pursue anything in life and especially career and that too as an immigrant in US without GC.
I know many people who bought home while on H1B, including me. I did tell the Bank/Credit Union, I'm on H1B and my application for GC is under process and all they requested is to provide a letter from my employer about my employment, my h1b papers, etc and I'd no problem in getting a Mortgage Loan. This was a year back.

Adjustment Of Status (AOS) Application Submission Laws
An AOS application can be submitted if an immigrant visa # is immediately available at the time of filing the application.
An immigrant visa is considered available for accepting and processing AOS application if
the preference category applicant has a priority date on the waiting list which is earlier than the date shown in VB (or the VB shows that numbers for visa applicants in his or her category are current), and
(if the applicant is seeking status pursuant to section 203(b) of the Act) the applicant presents evidence that the appropriate petition filed on his or her behalf has been approved.
The Visa Office (VO) subdivides the annual preference and foreign state limitations specified in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) into twelve monthly allotments. The totals of documentarily qualified applicants that have been reported to VO are compared each month with the numbers available for the next regular allotment and numbers are allocated to reported applicants in order of their priority dates, the oldest dates first.
If there are sufficient numbers in a particular category to satisfy all reported documentarily qualified demand, the category is considered “Current.”
For example, if the Employment Third preference monthly target is 5,000 and there are only 3,000 applicants, the category is considered “Current”.
Whenever the total of documentarily qualified applicants in a category exceeds the supply of numbers available for allotment for the particular month, the category is considered to be “oversubscribed” and a visa availability cut-off date is established. The cut-off date is the priority date of the first documentarily qualified applicant who could not be accommodated for a visa number.
For example, if the Employment Third preference monthly target is 5,000 and there are 15,000 applicants, a cut-off date would be established so that only 5,000 numbers would be used, and the cut-off date would be the priority date of the 5,001st applicant.
The Department shall limit the number of immigrant visas that may be issued and the number of AOS that may be granted to aliens subject to these numerical limitations to a number:
Not to exceed 27 percent of the world-wide total made available under INA 203 (a), (b) and (c) in any of the first three quarters of any fiscal year; and
Not to exceed, in any month of a fiscal year, 10% of the world-wide total made available under INA 203 (a), (b) and (c) plus any balance remaining from authorizations for preceding months in the same fiscal year.
How were the above laws followed in the following cases (which may not be a complete list)
Oct 1 2005 & Oct 1 2006 when .27 * 140K = 37,800 #s available but ALL AOSs were not submittable.
May 14 (??) when 60K #s were available but many more AOSs were submittable and were submitted from June 1-30.
June 12 when < 37,800 #s were available but ALL AOSs were submittable.
July 2 when 0 #s were available and ANY AOS was not submittable.
Months in 2005, 2006 and 2007 when ALL AOSs were not submittable.
Months in 2005 and 2006 when ANY AOS was not submittable.
10,296 GCs were returned on Sept 20 2006 but some (ALL??) AOSs were not submittable.

What is the commitment period? I know this is frustrating but deal with that as time passes by, who knows you manager changes by the time you decide to change the job or your client send a request to hire you to your vendor and in general no vendor refuse client request. Once this agreement is in file do you think someone will have time to bring this up and read clause by clause that too when you have left... there can be many reasons to leave and can not be covered under any agreement.
I will not worry about sigining this, this has no value once you get GC or become full time employee,in order to execute this agreement , they have to make sure/prove they have this agreement with each and every employee. Legal terms "EMPLOYMENT IS AT WILL" in order to chase you for 10K they need to spend time & cost both.
Here you go - These are the wordings !
$$$$
1. Employee had agreed to pay $ 10,000 if Employee resigns within first year of receiving the green card (hereinafter �Commitment Period�). After payment of the salary for the working days till the commitment period subject to all applicable payroll taxes and deductions, completes the transaction and Employee agrees that he has no other claims against the company.
$$$$$
Also there are more sensitive clauses like >>>>
8. EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT CREATES A PERMANENT BAR AGAINST THE FILING OF ANY LAWSUIT OR THE ASSERTION OF ANY LEGAL CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST ANY RELEASEE WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTS, OMISSIONS, OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OR OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE EXECUTION HEREOF, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN BY EMPLOYEE.
BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EMPLOYEE STATES THAT HE:
a) HAS READ IT AND HAS HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO CONSIDER ITS TERMS;
b) UNDERSTANDS IT AND KNOWS THAT HE IS GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS;
c) AGREES WITH EVERYTHING IN IT;
d) HAS CONSULTED WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE SIGNING IT; AND
3
e) HAS SIGNED IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY.
FOR A PERIOD OF SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY EMPLOYEE, EMPLOYEE MAY REVOKE THIS AGREEMENT; AND THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE OR ENFORCEABLE UNTIL THE REVOCATION PERIOD HAS EXPIRED.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed and entered into this Agreement.

Thanks buddy,
What is the procedure to the SSA update?
My family do not have SSA? I need to apply for them as well.
You can download the form from SSA website and fill the information for each applicant and take it to the SSA office. You can get rid of 'authorized to work with INS permit only' label of your SS card by using the same form and get a new card.
Take the forms, your PR card, old SS card. It just takes few minutes. They will take the info, shred the old cards, forms, etc. and will mail the cards to your address...Just check other thread ' Dos and Donts after GC' fo rmore info, and open a separate thread so as to not to mix up the original content of the thread...

Hi everyone,
I am flattered and extremely grateful to all of you for thinking about this. However, Immigration Voice has made it a policy to use the funds available for advocacy and in order to do that we have chosen not to reimburse expenses for anyone. We will in future, change this policy and reimburse expenses for travel and stationary if it is affordable to do so without running short on funds for advocacy. There are a lot of people who have spend money from their pocket on this effort. Recently, Gopal, Tamsen, Anand and many other had spent money to organize rally and make the banners for San Jose rally, Jay have traveled to DC multiple times on his expense, Himanshu, Vineet, Pratik, Ashish, Nagaraj, Naren, Alok and other members of the core team have all spent resources from their pocket. And there are a lot of good non-core group members who have kept the faith and have spent from their pocket and writing all their names will fill up many pages of this thread.
If I am unable to get reimbursed then I would not regret at all because I truly believe that every penny was worth the effort and I am lucky that I could do this for myself and this community. This community is not about one person, it’s about all of us and it’s about this broken system. I am nobody as an individual but we are collective a very big community. We need to stand up for ourselves so that few lawmakers will not take pride in beating us down by their false rhetoric on the Senate floor. As you have witnessed lately, these lawmakers think that beating us down is like a low hanging fruit and every time they need to improve their ratings, they could simply do some empty rhetoric. And when we all stand-up for ourselves, together, it will be time for this bigotry to end.
Please do not collect or send funds with the intention of reimbursement for me or any particular core group. Please continue contributing to our organization in whatever capacity you can. Please become more active in the state chapters. In the beginning the response will be slow and sometimes discouraging. But if you are persistent, you will be able to motivate others in your area and raise the level of participation of other members. Please stand up for yourself and not expect lawyers or employers to do “something” for you. For too long a lot of people have taken advantage of this community. Some lawmakers have even taken pride in beating us down, knowing well that we do contribute towards the progress and pay the taxes and do our due share in the society. We all need to realize that it doesn’t end with whatever we have been doing at our jobs, because if we want our issues to be addressed we have to organize and act as community. And there is nothing wrong with organizing a community. We all have witnessed our strength when we all collectively acted as a community responding to the recent visa bulletin fiasco. We won because of the participation of everybody who sent flowers, participated in the rally and participated and helped behind the scenes in these activities.
So please keep this in mind. For the core group, your involvement is as important as your contribution. Participating in phone campaign, fax campaign, flower campaign, street protests, video campaign -- all this is a billion times more important for our success. Contributions are also welcome but your presence on the street and your face on the videos is of paramount importance for coming months. Please follow every single action item both on this site and the ones you get in the newsletters. In order to get newsletter, keep the email address and contact information in your profile (of IV account) up to date.
My wife and I received our green cards in June. But all it doesn’t end with a green card. We will all continue to have same set of problems. This IV generation will be facing same set of problems in the future, regardless of the country of origin. The question is, do we form a new organization from scratch whenever a problem knocks at our door or do we continue to be part of an effort which can take on any challenge for this community. So if you have received your green card or if you are at any stage of the process, in the long term, we should all act as a community to see greater things happen for all of us.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts.
Take care,
Aman Kapoor

In Fox News this afternoon, the senator has explicitly said that the Chicago lady does not have any "constituional rights" since she is not American citizen. Go figure what they think about us.
The case should not have been accepted if the lady does not have constitutional rights. Lets see if they reject the case on this basis after listening to Tancredo.

Hello Everyone,
My checks were cashed yesterday. My application reached NSC on July 14. My I-140 was also approved from NSC.
I got the receipt numbers from the back of the checks, however when I entered them on the USCIS website, it said that the numbers were invalid. Any idea if I need to wait another day or so before the system will accept them?
Good luck to everyone still waiting...

My Apologies if this seems a bit rude to you...
IV is specific for people those who are awaiting permanent residence...but looking at the recent set of events for those who are not in queue and are new here with just 2-3 years of stay in State....on H1B...
Following is happening and it has a reason...I know many of my friends who have been denied H1B, L1 extensions ..these are those people who have just started PERM...
EB2 dates moving to Jan 00 and other not under U, has a specific reason as well; quota is one reason but it is not the only reason in the current state...these is another means to make sure that those who are trying to get GC and other who are trying to stay for 6 years under H1B should be putup into a spot that the thought of leaving this place and ending up back home becomes a reality..
I am sure out of total 500K awaiting the GC process, will have now atleast a second thought of going back home...H1B and L1 under 6 years are now also being forced to return back....

Now my priority date is 2006. It took 3 years to get my labor with my previous company. Company filed chapter 11 within a week after my labor approved.
Moved to consutling company and started the whole process again..
What about people who were stuck for years in backlog and then got laid off and could not port their priority dates. I know a few who come came to US in 99 and now have a priority date of 2007 with a new employer....It should clearly be based on number of years of stay in US or expereince

Everybody has been waiting for his/her green card and congratulations to all those who has got their GC. On the other hand it is really unfair and to some extent unethical on the part of USICS not follow a fair system.
There are several people in 2004, 2005 who have been paitently waiting for their turn only to see that people behind them getting approved.
Several of us have writtent to Ombudsman, Director but of no avail.
Not sure what else can be done? Any Idea? Do we have any liaison with AILA who can take up this matter.

If EB3 and EB2 are equal( unbiased) in eyes of IV, then why sanhari's suggestion is not welcome?
EB2-EB3 discussion is not just unbiased in the eyes of IV, it makes no sense in the real world when it comes to finding solutions to the problem of backlogs. It only exists in this forum.

Ok that is funny. So I have been waiting for 6 years now here and that is nothing. some kid comes in here and struggles to complete his MS and then just works for 3 years and gets in line before me !!
Not trying to sound negative here but it looks like a lot of people here are Masters ( either in EB2 or EB3 ) ?
I guess you do not have the slightest idea of the struggles and financial uncertainty of studying in the U.S. As a matter of fact THIS IS FAIR. Did you know that it cost over $20 K to go to school here just in tuition (with out any assistantship's, which is the norm for over 5 years now with the bad economy first and the lack of funding to graduate schools across the country) and most people who come on student visas gain experience through internships( on OPT's and CPT's) making as little as $10/ hour, not to mention working for minimum wages as they study to make ends meet and then and finally the effort of paying off student loans back home. Not only that a majority of people who come on F1 visas to U.S educational institutions pursue Advance degrees in not so "lucrative" fields in terms of job prospects like core engineering fields, pure sciences and many of them go on to get PhD and become researchers.
That is exactly what the U.S wants; they want the brain drain to resurface to bring about innovation in engineering and sciences. The only folks that come to work directly in the U.S are the IT folks so you are looking at a small spectrum of people. Again this is a long awaited gesture from U.S immigration system to people's trials and tribulations who take the long and winding road to pursue advance degrees in the U.S and eventually get on to work and enhance their professional goals.

Did you know that it cost over $20 K to go to school here just in tuition (with out any assistantship's, which is the norm for over 5 years now with the bad economy first and the lack of funding to graduate schools across the country) and most people who come on student visas gain experience through internships( on OPT's and CPT's) making as little as $10/ hour, not to mention working for minimum wages as they study to make ends meet and then and finally the effort of paying off student loans back home. Not only that a majority of people who come on F1 visas to U.S educational institutions pursue Advance degrees in not so "lucrative" fields in terms of job prospects like core engineering fields, pure sciences and many of them go on to get PhD and become researchers.
That is exactly what the U.S wants; they want the brain drain to resurface to bring about innovation in engineering and sciences. The only folks that come to work directly in the U.S are the IT folks so you are looking at a small spectrum of people. Again this is a long awaited gesture from U.S immigration system to people's trials and tribulations who take the long and winding road to pursue advance degrees in the U.S and eventually get on to work and enhance their professional goals.

who knows?
My friend sent her package on may 18th and she saw on uscis that they dated the receipt as june 1st... so that can give you an idea.
I sent mine on June 1st....nothing yet.
on june 6th the immigration.com breaking new claims there is a backlog of receipt for up to 45 days.
I am expecting to get mine at least by june 30th because with the flood of applications on july first....whoi knows
