[needhelp!]

I emailed my employer. Waiting on response.

Multiple-Year Single EAD-AP Card Reportedly Limited to Visa Regrogression 485 Filers

Some more details have been released on Mr. Aytes' statement on this plan. Reportedly, such multiple year card may be issued only to those who suffer the visa number retrogression. In other words, those 485 filers who will experience delays in 485 applications who do not suffer from the visa number retrogression but from the USCIS delays including namechecks are not likely to benefit from the upcoming multi-year card issuance.

Good idea. Please feel free to post this information to as many websites, forums and blogs as possible. Please do not restrict yourself to websites in english language. If you know of websites in other languages frequented by EB immigrants, please post this information. The mantra for success in this effort is getting as many letters as we can.

Background:

It will be really great of we can get some or all of these requests are granted.
I have some friends who had their GC in in 16 to 18 months from soup to nuts. They changed the jobs to some thing really entirely different and better yet they stopped working and started their own companies and recently naturalized as Citizens. So they only honored their intent to work for the same company for 18 months MAX and they are citizens.

Where as many of us are working for the same company for YEARS together.

Question :


Since many of us have already fulfilled our intent to work for the employer many times over, why would we still need to get a job in Similar or same occupation to change ?


I know we are now requesting them to change the definition of same or similar so that I can take a promotion in the same field. What about people who acquired different knowledge and want to put to use ?

A friend of mine wants became proficient in photography and wants to become a professional photographer full time. He can't even in new case.
Another friend got a MBA finance (currently working in IT) can't become a financial consultant or investment banker. But for the retrogression, they could have done what they wanted the second day after getting the GC.

Did it ever occur to the core to request a relief so that , if you worked for the company in the job for which GC is filed for XX years (say 5 for example), you are no longer required to look for the same or similar occupation when you change the job ? (Because of the delay in approval of the case due to retrogression and you have already made good on your promise of working for the company.) .

Or is it too much to chew ?

PS : This is not to find fault with any one (person or organization). Let the ideas keep coming.

But it may be too much to ask at this point.

Just an idea !

Please stress about how you cannot buy a house because your immigrant status is always in limbo and you have plans to buy house as soon as you receive greencard.

Look at the market today. It tanked another 250 points. Give greencards, alleviate mortgage crisis to an extent.

Send Those Letters! Help Yourselves!

[gcformeornot]

sending letters.

[permfiling]

I had a pre-scheduled appointment to meet my congressman's rep in his office today. I mentioned to him the issues and gave him the letter. He said addressing the president won't be of much use as it these fixed need to be taken up by lawmakers in the house. He said due to election year nothing will happen until 2009 as it requires legislative fixes and he expressed about the omnibus bill getting declined !
