    Just a couple of comments about Heathrow. The mainland of Britain was plagued with the IRA bombing it periodically for decades which forced them to be diligent about security long before the USA knew what terrorism was. Being security conscious has become a way of life on that little island in the North Sea. Just try finding a garbage can on a railway station platform? There are none so the IRA could not plant bombs in them.

    Now about the staff at Heathrow. Surely anyone with eyes that work can see most of them are not British at all but immigrants of some variety or another. A true Brit is a very friendly individual. The invasion of their island during the past fifty years has changed the face of the entire community, not all for the better that is for certain.

    And finally, transit visas etc. If they are needed and that is the rule and you cannot find a different route then it is something that has be lived with. The US had them and still has them for certain nationalities, the UK is certainly not on its own. I have been living in the US for almost a decade now and have been stung by their immigration rules as all of the contributors to this forum probably have but we chose to come here so have to put up with the system.

    We all have choices so if you do not want to get transit visas just choose a route that precludes the need for one. Ten pages bad mouthing the UK is not helping anyone it is just antagonizing those of us who originated there.

    Just because the majority of immigration voice are Indian it is certainly not all and I think that gets missed on so many occasions. We are in the midst of the US immigration system together, or so I thought.

    Every country has its own rules, some will be in our favor some will not but if we choose to go there we have to live by them. It is entirely NOT appropriate to expect countries we visit to bow to us on any level!!!!!!!

    your ad shows a company that has advertised for no EAD, GC h1b etc., which is legal, AFAIK.

    It is not a small difference, but not interviewing someone based on whatever is probably their prerogative (even this may have certain limitations like -you cannot say "no women" et6c.,), visa status is not considered a protected class... again AFAIK. They probably cannot say no GC, but CAN say only citizens because of some clearance required etc.,

    This is different from getting someone through the interview loop, making an offer and THEN saying sorry we ont hire you now because of EAD. That is BS. As for saying no to H1B, we have all been there, a company that does not want to sponsor cannot be MADE to do it.

    I was asking for a list of companies that have refused to work with EADs and have been cited for it or fined etc.,

    And it's my wishful thinking for you and my other fellow-members who went through the roller-coaster ride last month. Also, it is a speculation based on the recent events in the last 10 days. I have already filed my I485.

    Cheers & Good Luck!

    I thought so too :) :). Your's was just wishful thinking.

    Do not think this to discourage or anything like that...

    Guys .. Pls stop dreaming.. you do not have any idea what you are talking about..

    Guys in this thread may be newcomers to the game..

    I was here since 1998... and cud not stop surprised to see the ideas in this thread..veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryy yyyyyyyy farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from reality.

    Better to wor for admin things like visa recapture, some admin things within INS w/o any legislative action.

    Do you guys have any idea that it needs legislative approval for things you are dreaming of...

    It means it shd win in 100 members senate and in 500+ members house.

    As Pappu suggested it is better to get more publicity, funds and then work for few admin things first(Gives a big relief) ...

    But guys, what you are thinking is far beyond the dream itself.

    I guess Pappu is the only guy active in Core now...
    However let us concentrate as Core suggested, as they know the realities/pains involved.

    Pappu, any core members active other than yourself, because i did not see a core member other than you fr more than a year...

    Buddy some genuine dream may come true. We are thinking logically and it may become true. We are not trying to get any shortcut to get the Citizenship. Think High... You will Achieve...

    "Well Established Visa Requirement"....are you kidding me? It's not only about the visa requirement but the treatment that you get from those morons at their airport. Read the heathrow experience which people have posted and we are not making this up.

    Tell me this...You are going to your home country via london where your plane is only going to land and probably refuel and you can easily be asked to remain in a cordonned area where you cannot go out of the country. How in the heck can you think that person is going to step outside of the airport and sneak into their country. Don't you think that asking for transit visa from the passengers of the plane which is only going to touch that sacred land to just too much. Ok...we don't mind that...but atleast be courteous. What is the reason can you think of another stupid security checks plus asking passengers to stuff their personal hand bag in their cabin baggage where clearly this is allowed for the passengers.

    This does not make any sense unless you reason out that with other possible reasons like race, color etc etc.



    It really is amazing how much hot air has been generated on this thread over a well established transit visa requirement.

    The reason transit visas are required in the UK is that many passengers with an intention to transit the UK have stayed. The transit visa was introduced as a way of making sure (as much as possible) that the passenger has the intention and the ability to transit the UK and to enter a third country.

    The list of nationals that are required to have a visa to transit the UK represents a list of countries where there has been a particular problem with over stayers. It is not race based, but merely an effort to target the problem.

    It really does not matter what anyone thinks about the transit visa requirement because it is UK law. Everyone has a choice whether or not to transit the UK. Going back to the original post, to book a ticket without researching visa requirements and then trying to deflect personal responsibility by blaming the visa requirement is ridiculous.

    Friends,

    Finally we got our receipt numbers today from the Check Images. Our Application reached USCIS on 07/03 by USPS Mail. Don't know who signed it. Have been waiting for it patiently. All our receipt numbers start with SRC so from Texas. My I140 was approved form Texas and there was an LUD on the I140 on 07/28.

    All the best for whom ever is waiting for the receipt numbers. You guys should get it pretty soon.

    I am july 3rd filer, still waiting for receipt. In your e-mail you said there was LUD on your I-140 date 07/28. What it means...did you file I-140 and I-485 together? is there any connection in getting receipt of I-485 and LUD on I-140, just curious becasue I am also seeing LUD of 07/28 on my I-140 but my I-140 got approved in 2006.

    Waiting for reply.

    it would be nice to see indian corps. to start flights from all major US cities...just bypass UK and the gang.

    I live in Boston area and cant use the flights which u just mentioned..and by the way if it wasn't for the poor response of the Indian govt. we would have a had a thriving international airline industry.. have u seen the airport, the service of indian airlines..i'd more than happy to use indian flights if they only improved in world class sense..

    one reason why countries like UK can exploit us is becoz they know we don't have a better choice..
    Agreed - not everyone lives in Newark - but if you are willing to change planes in London and undergo humiliation - why not at Newark or JFK?

    last i checked - there are plenty of flights between JFK/Newark and all major cities including Boston.

    also - all airlines work on a hub and spoke arrangement.......Air France hub is Paris, Continental hubs are houston, newark and cleveland and so on.......so would be difficult to find a direct continental flight from say boston to atlanta - you have to fly via one of the hubs.......similarly - for most Indian airlines - their hubs are in India.......not in US - so unlikely that economics would work out in favor of direct flights except say from Houston, NYC area, Chicago and Bay Area.......folks living in other cities would have to make connections in any case....

    speaking of service- am not sure how you can consider Air India (given that Jet is world class in any case) any worse than any major European or American carrier (with the exception of perhaps Virgin) in terms of food and service?

    Indian Airports - completely agree with you........with the new airports under construction in all major indian cities - hopefully - we will have world class airports soon!

    The link is related to the fingerprinting background check. Almost 100% of the time the automated system returns an FBI record (an existance or not of a "rap sheet"). Only in rare cases when the finger prints are not clear USCIS sends a new FP notice.

    The issue here is the FBI name check which returns less than 68% in the automated response. Around 32% of cases (485/n400) are delayed of which less than 1% really may have a negative record most of which are reported by IBIS and finger print check.

    FOIPA only provides main file check report (not reference file report) which in any case is worthless for most applicants who have never committed a crime but are stuck in the name check due to a flawed soundex alogirthm that is applied for both roman based and non roman based names. Invariably Indians, Chinese, Arabs and Russians (and slavic names) are caught up disprortionately.

    Mr. has been lately tightening the screws and USCIS has to report in the next 30 days the response to his anual report to congress where he listed the FBI name check as the most pervasive problem affecting 485 and naturalization applicants and the fact that name check backlog grew by over 100,000 in 2006.

    Name check dissproportionately affects Indians, Chinese, Russians, slavs, Arabs and Muslims.

    USCIS is supposed to respond to USCIS OMBUDSMAN report on Sep 11. USCIS has not mentioned about the value it is deriving out of the NAMECHECK process!
    I do not know why USCIS is wasting money and resources in the questionable "NAME CHECK" process while they already have the faster "FINGER PRINT" process!!

    !!!!!
    I knew friends in Kaiser who were hired on H1 and got GC through Kaiser..
    How the hell can they justify filing new GCs, but not accepting EAD!?

    All these requirements are Position Specific. Before publishing externally, most companies (HR) decides the policy first for an example to which kind of person they will hire for this position like " We will not consider H1 for this position" seeing the "Critical and essential need of "blah " blah"..." And they then follow it. So it may happen that one person gets an answer " We do not consider EAD holder for this position.." and next month you may meet somebody (EAD Holder) working for that company on EAD but for different position as company made apolicy to hire EAD holder for that particular kind of position.

    Yes, "Interviewing" is not written there. And we all know that "Recruiting" or "Hiring" is not equivalent of "interviewing"

    The employer will come up with many excuses to not interview a candidate or hire. If the law doesn't allow you to discriminate when hiring based on national origin or EAD or whatever, rejecting candidates even for an interview doesn't make sense.

    Interview is part of the hiring and recruiting processes. Would you say employers putting a job ad saying we will only interview someone from a particular nationality is allowed?

    However, the more important point is we are fighting to get multi-year EAD in IV among other things. The law doesn't allow discrimination based on EAD for hiring. Let the govt lawyers and employers figure it out if not even interviewing candidates because of EAD comes under the purview of hiring or not and if it is legal or not.

    That's exactly what I wrote a few posts above. I think the more basic question is - What does 485 inventory mean? Is it already filed 485 numbers or "can be filed based on approved I-140" numbers?

    To the OP: Can you provide the link from where we can open the PDF instead of just throwing the PDF open. Maybe that will provide a better context to the numbers.

    The data says Individuals born in india, Their country of chargebility could be different?

    not true AP filing is not denied just because you have a valid H1 visa. The two are completely unrelated. Also if you have a valid H1 visa carrying a 485 receipt notice while a good idea is not required at all since you hold a valid H1 visa.
