Re: CDC confirms first Ebola case diagnosed in US

There is not one single case of a dog or cat contracting Ebola, even in West Africa.

Enough with the paranoia.

Agreed. Even in the Texas hospital that handled the first patient very poorly, leaving him in the waiting room for hours and sending him home, none of his relatives or other waiting room patients appeared to have contracted the disease.

Even in the case of the nurse that decided to fly over the week-end despite being sick, nobody else contracted the disease.

Enough with the paranoia.

I tell my kids not to a) rob any convenience stores, b) don't assault the convenience store owner, and c) don't resist the police when your description matches the one provided to the cops in a 911 call about the robbery/assault.

Of course, this 'kid' was a 6'4", 300 lb man, the man assaulted appears to be a slight South Asian man, and the policeman was a veteran with no disciplinary actions on his record.

Those are the facts that we know, the circumstances of the shooting remain to be determined.



It appears that c) don't resist the police when your description matches the one provided to the cops in a 911 call about the robbery/assault. is not a fact we know:

Thank you for the recommendation.

Re: WSJ: The Dependent Housewife from Mumbai -Inability to work in America comes with an unexpected gift

I understand that I misused the term 'backlog' in this case, although not completely as out of the 140,000 green cards allocated to employment based, a significant number remains unused at the end of the fiscal year. But you are right, the main cause of the wait is the delta between the number of applicants and the number of green cards available.

bodhipooh,
USCIS published the following document recently (page 3):
http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Structure/3rd%20Level%20(Left%20Nav%20Children)/Green%20Card%20-%203rd%20Level/Pending%20Form%20I485%20Reports.pdf
The number of applicants from 2002 still waiting for a green card is not negligeable.
As for the family based green card, I meant a green card holder sponsoring a foreigner, not a US citizen sponsoring a foreigner. The wait for this category is more than 5 years.

I will not get into details, but I can assure you that I am intimately familiar with how the USCIS works and how visas are handled.

Your status as EB3 holds little "weight" for consideration to gain LPR status, as you hold "third" preference among employment-based immigrants, which itself is 2nd or 3rd in terms of categories for gaining permanent residency.

Of course, you know all of that, but choose to leave out all the facts and details, which shows you are being disingenious.

As for the link I posted regarding the processing timelines, they are exactly that. Timelines on how long it takes to process specific petitions at specific offices. They are based on the assumption that you have already qualified for the visa you are requesting and that you have submitted your paperwork.

I already qualified for the visa as I have my EAD and my case has been pre-adjudicated. I have been in the AOS phase for more than 2 years and will probably be for an additional 3 years. I am waiting for my priority date to become current.
There are not enough visas and therefore there is a backlog. That is the only thing I said in my initial post that you qualified of FUD.

Using the processing timelines on the USCIS website as an indication of how long it takes to get a green card is wrong unless you are in the EB-1 or EB-2 ROW and you don't take in consideration all the audit occuring lately. Regarding the family based green card, they are not in a better situation as I believe the wait is also 5 to 6 years because of a lack of visa allocation. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The goal of my initial post was just to say that it is not easy to get a visa to work in the US, even H1-B. The reason why the quota of H1B has not been reached yet this year is because it is more difficult for a company to justify the need of hiring a foreign worker when unemployment rate is more than 10%. That is understandable.

If any part of this post is erroneous or FUD', please let me know...

FUD slinger!! Don't let facts and the truth get in the way of your story...

For those who really wish to know what are the true timelines to getting a green card, or different types of visas, refer to the USCIS timelines for processing times. You can look it up here:

USCIS Processing Times

As for having an American kid, that got abused so much by so many immigrants, that the US government, right or wrong, no longer attaches much weight to that factor as far as granting the parent(s) Legal Permanent Resident status, let alone citizenship.


I think you have no idea what you are talking about... this is the processing time once your priority date becomes current... to know the priority date they are currently working on you need to check the Visa Bulletin. Here is the latest one (October 2009): http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4575.html

For you rinformation, I am EB3 ROW (employment based). So really, FUD slinger???

The problem is that it would probably take 7 years for her husband to get his green card. There is a humongous backlog and USCIS is currently working on applications filed in 2002.
I personally have been leaving in Jersey City for 9 years, own a house in Jersey City, have a son that is American. I applied for a green card 4 years ago and will probably get it in 3 years. In the meantime, if I lose my job and don?t find another one within a month (and it would have to be a very similar job, otherwise I would have to start the process again), I would have to pack and leave the country?
There is indeed ways to work legally but it is not that easy?
