Here is one of the comments below that article that makes sense too (claims to be from a congressional staffer):
As a congressional staffer, I'd say you should just call. Even if you address the letter to the LA, it will likely be passed off to an intern or an LC (legislative correspondent). Writing to constituents is not fun, and most offices have people that do it all day long.
More than likely, an intern will pick up. DO NOT just start rambling about whatever issue you want to gripe about. This signals the person who answered that you are crazy, and should not be speaking to a staff member. They are very busy, and no one is going to pass a crazy person off to their boss. The intern will know to either say "We'll pass that on for you" (which he will not), or say "I've made a note and I'll deliver it to the congressman" (again, he will not). Interns don't know anything, nor do they have the power to do anything.
Instead, simply say your full name and ask whoever is on the phone to speak with the LA who handles the issue about which you are concerned. Be calm, be stern. If you speak to the LA, don't just start off with "I have some opinions I'd like you to know; here they are!" Instead, ask questions! Ask what the congressman's positions are on the issues. Ask why. Explain your own position. Finally, ask if there is any other information the staffer might need.
You might be passed off to voice mail. Do NOT give your opinions here. Simply say that you have some concerns about a certain issue, and that you would like a call back.
Most offices have daily callers and letter writers who leave incoherent notes and messages about anything from UFOs to mexican truck drivers. Your goal should be to separate yourself from this crowd.
Do this, and be rational, and you just might make a difference.

Got it... Just dont mention anything about H1 for sometime.. if something comes from company/HR tell them you want it done in premium since you (or your wife) might have to visit India soon. If they dont sound keen on doing it in premium, you can offer to pay the premium fee. Most employers dont object.
Just my 2 cents.
Best of luck with you job search

I have few question regd H4 visa.
1. how H4 visa holder can study using education loan from india? if they get money through bank-to-bank transfer for education, they have to pay taxes right?
2. also now I know F1 students get their SEVIS number and this number helps DHS to track the students study programs/activities/money in US. This SEVIS number is given to F1 students by DHS.
so if H4 get this (education loan) money through bank-to-bank transfer, whether it will create a problem for H4 because they brought money from india without SEVIS number?
Please let me know.

Thank you wandmaker. This helps.
- But can a person be unemployed before the 180 days elapse? What happens if person is unable to find a job before 180 days?
- Also, per your information - can the person find a new job, change H1s and then wait for 180 days to send in a letter to USCIS?

I am in the same situation...my 6th yr H1 expires on Feb 2008. I am really hoping that I will get an EAD before my H1 expiration. But if I dont get an EAD on time then I will apply for recapturing my time outside USA. I travel overseas a lot on business so basically i will need about 3months of time recaptured to meet the 1 yr prior labor approval for H1 extension. My PD is april 2007. Hope this helps and works out for you.
BTW..i recieved my receipt notices for EAD,485 and AP last week.

Hi Folks:
Is there a time limit for one to travel on Advance Parole. I was told that if a person travels abroad and intends to enter using AP, the maximum time allowed is 6 weeks, is this true?
Thanks
My son "traveled" on AP for almost 6 months.

Hi All,
Me and my wife are on EAD. We want to open LLC. Right now I am doing consulting in IT firm. My wife is not working anywhere. What are TAX and immigration consequences if we open LLC on my wife's name?
Questions we have..
1. Can I become parnter easily once my status got changed from EAD to GC?
2. Once my wife start LLC, can she work for another company e.g. Software consulting?
3. What would be tax bracket for my owner of LLC?
Thanks,
dj

i think you needed two light sources for this, one coming in from the left to lessen or remove the shadows. Some more DOF? Yes and No depends on what you're after. Flwoers of this colour are so hard to photo IMHO. Reds and flowers always give me grief. I like this rendition of the colour.. Were you happy?

Hi Louisiana,
How do we go about setting up a State Chapter? Are there just the three of us from LA? I am in NOLA (d'uh, my alias is a dead giveaway).
What's the next step?

Here is some genuine feedback about USCIS customer service:
1. NCSC is unable to provide any inputs on the actual problem... this becomes a bottleneck.
2. Once an SR is created, no further SR can be created for 30 or 45 days...If you really got to know of an issue with your case from an SR that was first created, how and why is their this expectation that you need to wait for 30 days before which you can get back to USCIS for resolving that problem.
3. NO consistency in the answers provided by USCIS... I had an Infopass, call to NCSC and call to NSC within the span of one hour on the same day... The answers i got to the same question was completely different and completely off in some cases... How can candidates continue to wait and work patiently with USCIS if this continues?
4. Infopass appointment does not seem to help... I go and tell the officer about a problem and the officer says not a problem and just wait... the next time i talk to NSC, they tell me to follow up with an infopass.
Please highlight these points in the session in a constructive manner as a means to improve cusotmer service.

PD isn't current, but just check i-485 online status, showing "Document production or Oath Ceremony" (i.e., the last cycle).
There was indeed a soft LUD in June this year. After that nothing much else. Is there sth good coming along my way?
Appreciate if anyone here can share his/her thoughts/comments.
Don't rely on online status, take infopass and check it out. BTW, it is most likely a FP notice, not an approval.

There is an RFE on my advance parole. Came to know about it through my online status. I called to know what the RFE is about and I was told that they can't tell me over the phone and it is between the officer and me and that I have to wait to receive the RFE. Has anyone else experienced this ? I filed the RFE myself online.

There have been cases reported in past on this forum where the PERM approval was lost in mail.
You should ask your employer to download the PERM approval from DOL ETA website, which should be completed and signed by both you and your employer (similar to the PERM paper approval that you did not receive).
Your lawyer should submit this form with I-140 and also request USCIS to obtain a duplicate copy of PERM approval from DOL. This may help.
Are you porting to EB2?
Yes i was hoping to port to EB2.
The issue is that the lawyer says that they will follow this process of dowloading the cert and request USCIS to get a dupe, but hey say they cannot do this under premium processing and will have to file under regular I140. this adds 6 months to the process and effectively eliminates any advantage since i hope to get my EB3 485 current by that time.

Can I do anything from my side. Is there any way to contact/request DOL to inquire about the case.

Currently there are a lot of RFE's and renewal denials when they try to renew onsite. So they have been asked to go back to get renewed and once its successful, they come back. They are just being cautious.

Whats your point? This is not a medical forum :)
BTW, its PPD test and I know quite a few people of Indian origin who had to go for the X-ray. Follow some of the other threads on this forum as well.
You are little too quick my friend, I did not complete my post by the time you replied. I wasn't sure that others can see my post while I was still creating (typing) my poll.
I am trying to get a sense of how many people are getting positive reaction. I am hoping this thread might give exposure about people harassed by uninformed or under informed civil surgeons/ health dept officials about the impact of BCG on PDP test. I see different interpretation of test results.
