Recent approved 140s (i.e. sept 2006 or later) has A#. Not all Approved 140 has A#. So don't worry. Earlier applicants used to get A# after filing AOS. Still in AOS process, CRU[one dept of USCIS] will verify the written A# or assign new to each applicant.
on my i-140 I have A#

Oh there is no corruption in western democracies. :) LOL
Iraq war had no corruption
Halliburton deal had no corruption,
AIG had no corruption, BOA , Citi had no corruption.
Lobbying had no corruption
The texas cops who took money were not corrupt.
Abu Ghraib was very morally correct.
Blackwater was a very level headed company.
Did all this happen in some communist eastern state?
Hey Moro1n, the difference is, most americans agree that things are going wrong. We don't whitewash what happened unlike what your compatriots are trying to do here, when someone brings up corruption in India. I cited surveys by international agencies that make comparisons that consider a number of factors, not by anecdotal evidence based on a few high profile news stories.
Wasn't most of these corruption stories broken and pursued by american media itself? Didn't republicans lose power in 2006/2008 elections?

On the other day Congressman Tom Tancredo was in Lou Dobbs program and they as usual ranted about H1-B visas. I almost fell from the chair when Tom T said H1B visa is valid for 5 years and there are around 700,000 people overstaying their visas. He clearly implied the thousands of people from all over the world staying here legally as illegals.
Here is the youtube link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi_c9ep9uKI
Since Lou Dobbs didn't challenge Tom I'm sure he agrees with him. I wish somone create a video explaining how H1 can be extended beyond six years, interview some USCIS ( even ex employee), immigration lawyers and put a fitting response to this video in Youtube itself.
The Rep Tom Tancredo a vociferous anti-immigrant both legal and illegal. The very fact that Lou Dobbs allowed his show as a mouthpiece to propagate incorrect information "about H1-Bs being illegal" is worthy of a lawsuit.
How about a petition to the CEO of Time Warner asking Lou to apologize ?

Height of selfishness....
It is amazing that how these people are ready to spend tons of money and time for such selfish causes.
If this kind of enthusiasm is displayed on IV action items and contributions then there would be better chances of achieving the goals of this community.
People who created this forum, which is helping this community so much, have been working for years.. selflessly.. spending time and money and effort many times spending their own money for the causes of this community.. people like Aman, Pappu, Pascal, logiclife et al... There are lots of people in this community who thought about the community first.
If they were like you.. then things would have been worse.
But, if you are so hell bent on putting your GC first, irrespective of the damage to the cause of the community, if you are so mad about yourself.. why do you care about polling.. Go alone.. just focus on "you and your GC" .. achieve something alone.. You can then keep all the benefits to yourself.. all yours..Go ahead!
Just like your campaign, the fundamentals on which you run it, cannot be trusted.. because if it suits you, you'll sell you supporter's interests for your own GC.
That's why you get support from very few....
This forum was created on better fundamentals.. Here community comes first.
That is why IV and those who created this forum have support of thousands!

Guyz, this is what my theory about Responsibility.
Any loan is 100% risk in theory.
In Debt-based economy (such as US primarily) Bank (or lender) has obligation to verify if the loaner is capable of paying the monthly mortgage. Especially when they are giving 0% down and false documentation (HIGH RISK LOANERS) they assess that mortgage highest risk.
Now, there are financial institutions who will combine the all these mortgages into big pile and spin-off into mortage-backed securities. There are agencies rating these into A+, A++, A+++, B+ blah blah...
Watch PBS network for this.
These securities are bought out by some other companies (may be good companies who never would have loaned these HIGH RISK LOANERS).
Now this goes on goes on and crosses country boundaries in the current global economical CHAIN.
Everyone thought that (blindsighted) Mortgage prices are going to go up no matter what. But if you are not creating jobs which will drive internal growth of these economies how are you going to get more DEMAND?
Hence, when US market goes down, Japan suffers, China suffers and India too (software exports cutback etc).
So, the level responsibility and ethical conduct applies to EVERYBODY in this chain.
We are all part of it directly or indirectly weather we say yes or no. The naysayers do not know complete picture, I assume. Even I do not know complete picture yet.
However, common sense will taught you to be FAIR. So, anytime you say, I want to MAKE MONEY there is a catch of MIGHT LOOSE MONEY. Take anything. Even currency note says, IN GOD WE TRUST.
May God Bless Everyone!

I think this is a good initiative. If we see visa violations being done we need to report it. The reporting has nothing to do with India Indians or Indian companies. I am sure Cognizant IBM CapGemini are as good or bad as TCS Wipro or Infy. Plus people opposing this should realize that these same L1 are applying under EB1 category by utilizing the loophole and this is one of the bottleneck for people like us who are playing by rules. They are also violating wages standards and pulling the market down. So I do not see any reason to discourage people from reporting against malpractices in H1 L1 J1 or B1 visa.

My laywer ( a known one, but not the regulars here) also didn't include EVL. When i asked him about it, he said whether we include it now or not, they will issue an RFE at the time of adjudication. I was content with that, but after reading about it more here, i pressed him again about the issue and the new memo. He said he does not foresee a denial because of this, but if i'm worried we will send the EVL along with a cover letter and the RN. But filing another 485 is not advisable. I'm working on the EVL, and once he is less busy after Aug 17th i will ask him to send it. And i hope it will make it to the right file if we include the RN and A#, just like replying to an RFE.
btw, to answer #1, i did get RN so i would think the case may not be outright rejected for missing evidence. I did FP and my LUD was changed for 485 and 131. I filed 765 later and that also has an LUD after FP.
Thanks for your inputs on this issue. I agree, this is the minimum one should do (sending EVL with A# when it arrives.)

Senate introduced the "Protecting America�s Competitive Edge (PACE)" Act on Jan 26th. One of the sections states that folks with advanced degree are exempt from the numerical limitations on employment-based immigrants.
Is this true ? If yes, should the advance degree holders pursue this bill.

In the I-131 instruction:
"Advance parole is an extraordinary measure used sparingly to bring an
otherwise inadmissible alien to the United States for a temporary
period of time due to a compelling emergency. Advance parole cannot be
used to circumvent the normal visa issuing procedures and is not a
means to bypass delays in visa issuance."
If I mention: "I plan to travel outside of USA for family reunion" in the I-131 cover letter, do you think I will got denied because this reason is not "compelling emergency" at all?
How will you ""On a separate sheet(s) of paper, please explain how you qualify for an advance parole document and what circumstances warrant issuance of
advance parole." ?
Thanks

How is your experience with Lingo customer service. Last year, I tried to switch to Lingo and the lady at customer service is very rude. She is so tired to answer questions and asked me to get all from website. I stopped switching to them.
This is true. Lingo customer service is bad. Now I am stuck with them for 2 years. Rep was rude. Talked to the supervisor. Even he was rude. Asked him to pass me on to his manager. He refused to directly transfer to his manager.
I am even thinking of paying $100 cancellation fee and get off their service.
I am happy that Vonage came up with a good plan.

I posted the following question for the Nevada Presidential debate. I urge all of you, specially if you are from Nevada, to ask a similar question.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22574335
http://www.januarydebate.com
"Illegal immigration has been a topic of heated debate and has received much needed attention during this election. Many of you have taken a strong position on one side or the other of this issue while ignoring the problems of aspiring legal immigrants. In the midst of all the hype and bickering about ILLEGAL immigration, there is a group of people, often forgotten and ignored, who are caught up in a bureaucratic mess and stuck in a limbo, patiently waiting on the path to LEGAL immigration. This is a group of high skilled workers, most of whom have advanced degrees in medicine, engineering and science from Universities in the US. These people have worked hard, paid taxes and waited their turn, many for a decade, without the end anywhere near sight because of a system that is hopelessly broken and inefficient. I am one of those people. I have been here legally for 10 years and still years away from the realizing the dream of immigrant status.
As the President of the United States how do you intend to address the problems faced by future Americans already living and working LEGALLY in the United States?"
For the skeptics-
I know the chances of including such a question are really slim, specially with the sponsors they have. However, if a lot of us ask similar questions, maybe they might bring it up.
Also, one might argue that even if they pose the question its not like all the backlogs are going to be eliminated. Thats not the expectation here. The idea behind this is to create an awareness and start people/media talking about problems of legal immigration.

I just received my 2 year EAD. Priority date is Nov 2002 - EB3 -India. Well I guess that says it all. If USCIS thinks that Nov 2002 will take at least another 2 years then I dunno what about the rest. I didn't wanna think about EB2 porting being so close and spend another 10k, I guess just need to stop worrying about it now. :)
It will be 10K spent well if you decide to do that!

Seems like there might be an internal memo or understanding between USCIS and DOS not to approve many Eb2 India 485 even though there dates are current, this is the only explanation I can come up for the lack for eb2 india approvals in October. Even with the limited number of visas every quarter I was hoping there would be lot of approvals because of Visa spillover occuring every quarter instead of once every year, but looking at the USCIS performance in the first week of october it seems like there wont be any quarterly spillover at all.
Even if quarterly spillover happens, it will happen in Dec - that's what I think - correct me if I am wrong.
I anticipated monthly EB2-I to be finished in two business days - more or less it appears to be (200 odds is a small number for India). Now I am waiting for prioirty dates - whether they show +ve movement and next month for approvals.
