logiclife01-24 05:57 PMThere are a few praises about Jet Airways in previous posts.
Let me set the record straight. They have miles to go before they start claiming themselves as "world class" international airline.
I was on vacation past 2.5 weeks to India and here is my experience.
Regarding Jet Airways poor customer service:
On return, my Jet Airways flight from Rajkot (Gujarat) to Mumbai was delayed by 2 hours. Its only a 55 minute flight from Rajkot to Mumbai. Because of this, my connection of Delta airlines from Mumbai to New York was missed. Delta gave me a seat on plane the next day. Same flight - but a day after. So now, I was stuck in Mumbai, with huge luggage for 24 hours. I asked Delta for Hotel accomodation. They said, its not their fault and its Jet Airways fault and I should ask them for Hotel.
I went to Jet Airways customer service in Mumbai airport. They said that they cant find a single room in Mumbai due to some exhibition/conference going on at the time. A major international airline, shooting for stars, cant find a Hotel room in a city as big as Mumbai. Frustrated, I went to a government agency office (IATA I think) and they said that they dont have anything nearby, but can arrange something 30 kilometers away, and it was a sub-standard hotel and room. I paid out of my own pocket and stayed there a night. It was Rs 2000 (about $50) for this hotel plus taxi.
The next day, before boarding Delta flight, I went to Jet Airways office again and told them that I found a hotel room on my own and see if they can re-imburse me for the hotel expenses. If they had paid themselves in Hyatt or Grand Meridian outside airport, it would have been more anyways. The manager of Jet Airways said that they cannot do it and I should scan the reciepts and my boarding pass and email customersupport at jetairways.
An hour before this happened, the office didnt even have anyone in charge in office (at about 7:00 PM). The agent said, the manager isnt here. I asked, "who's in charge", and she said "No one is in charge right now, you have to come back at 8:00 when manager comes in".
What I am saying is, Jet Airways has miles to go before it can take pride. Just starting flights to Newark, Chicago doesnt make it a great airline. Neither does good food. Treat customers well, and atleast do a better job than government offices when it comes to locating hotel rooms for stranded passengers who are stranded due to their fault.
Mumbai Airport security harrassment :
My flight was just past midnight and I checked out of hotel at noon. (I had to). With 12 hours and nothing to do, I headed to Mumbai airport. At the airport, they dont let you inside the building unless you are a passenger. The security guard at the door said that I need to come back at 9:00 PM and I cant go into the airport right now as my flight is at night. I told him that I am not coming to airport to enjoy the lounge and I am stranded due to missed airline connection. He didnt listen. I was sitting outside the building until about 8:00 PM with all luggage.
Now I understand that security is important, but what's the point in stopping someone and letting them inside only 4 hours prior. Because if there is a nefarious person planning something bad, what can he/she do in 10 hours that he/she cant do in 4 hours. How does it enhance security by limiting the presence of passengers inside airport? Well, you cant argue with knuckleheads.
Inside airport, I ran into a German lady and a guy from Netherlands and both of them were in the airport since the afternoon. They said they argued and they were let in. Basically, the Indian security forces at the airport wont argue with Europeans and will let them inside the airport but will go extra lengths to harrass people that they are comfortable harrassing - their own people.
So we can ignore London airport. Fine. Are we also going to ignore Mumbai airport now?
The best way to avoid harrassment is to stand up and fight it. Because avoiding this airport and that airline is not going to cut it.

PD_Dec200206-29 04:45 PMWait for the Updates from USICS today/monday morning...If they didnt give any statement considering a lot of rumors/activity , defintely some bad news is in store ......
On the flip side, if this is only a rumor, then USCIS/DOS won't comment at all.

You are assuming that the spillover from remaining countries in EB3 will be allocated to EB3 I/C/P/M. The spillover rules that changed in 2007 will ensure that those visas will first go to E1 -> EB2 and then fall to us if there is an overflow. Unfortunately that will not happen because there are many retrogressed individuals in EB2 and they will get the visas first.
If there are 140K visas then EB3 category will get 140,000%28.7 = 40180
NACARA program = 40180-5000=35180
(refer Visa Bulletin October 2009 (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4575.html)
Employment Third Preference Other Workers Category: Section 203(e) of the NACARA, as amended by Section 1(e) of Pub. L. 105-139, provides that once the Employment Third Preference Other Worker (EW) cut-off date has reached the priority date of the latest EW petition approved prior to November 19, 1997, the 10,000 EW numbers available for a fiscal year are to be reduced by up to 5,000 annually beginning in the following fiscal year. This reduction is to be made for as long as necessary to offset adjustments under the NACARA program. Since the EW cut-off date reached November 19, 1997 during Fiscal Year 2001, the reduction in the EW annual limit to 5,000 began in Fiscal Year 2002)
deduct 15% for consular processing = 29903
again consider 5 different Chargeability Areas
such as CHINA mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, PHILIP-PINES and rest = 29903/5= 5980
Worst case scenario, USCIS will have 5980 visas available for FY 2010.
Now, if you compare data published by USCIS on pending cases can we guess
we should see forward movement for EB3I at least July-2002 by end of FY 2010 ?
Is it fair assessment?

gc_chahiye01-24 12:06 PMFly from SFO --> HongKong --> Singapore --> India . No transit visa needed anywhere. Inflight desi food available. Ticket is pricey.
I would second this. Singapore Airlines is especially good if you are travelling with babies/kids. Its a bit longer than the SFO->frankfurt->India route, but worth it. Also, Changi airport at Singapore is 10 times better than frankfurt for a layover.

coolcat05-17 05:47 PMI don't see an answer to vsoni's question. I don't know the answer either. Can someone answer vsoni's question and also mine, please?
Here is my question:
I'm currently on an H1 visa status. I'd be applying for 485, EAD, AP on June 1 (my PD becomes current then. :) ). Currently I don't have a H1B visa stamp in my passport. I'm planning to leave for India immediately after applying for 485, EAD and AP and apply for visa in India.
My question is if my H1B visa gets rejected, can I come to the US on AP (someone in the US will mail me the approved AP)?
D. If you travel before the advance parole document isissued, your application will be deemed abandoned if:
1.You depart from the United States; or
2.The person seeking advance parole attempts to enter the United States before a decision is made onthe application.
The answer to my question is in bold, underlined. Hmmm. Doesn't favor me. :(

Alabaman04-24 05:10 PM"Provide safeguards for visa holders so they know their rights under the law. This would include wage rates and access to benefits."
What benefits are they talking about here?? As far as I am concerned, H1B visa holders have to no benefits... we pay SS taxes, federal taxes, Medicaid, state etc. As soon as we loose our jobs we are told we have a couple of days to leave the country - even when we have been here for years. What an inhumane way to treat a tax payer.

Purdue; Darius Morris,
chandooo09-21 11:22 AMI used the format below:
Dear Officer,
My case has been pending since September 2007. Below are the steps I have taken till now in order to get a decision on my case:
1: Initiated enquiry through my attorney.
2: Opened a service request with USCIS (Got an invalid response of no visa numbers available)
3: Made an Infopass appointment with an immigration officer.
None of the above has resulted in any clarity towards my case status.
Below are my case details- (Myself & spouse)-
Applicant name:
Application type: I-485
Category: Employment based EB2 (India)
Priority date:
Receipt number:
Spouse details:
Applicant name:
Application type: I-485
Category: Employment based EB2 (India)
Priority date:
Receipt number:
I had the following questions on my case:
1: As my priority date is current, has my case been assigned to an Immigration officer.
2: When can I expect a decision to be made on my case as my case is pre-adjudicated.
If you need any additional details from me, I can be reached at email or phone @ phone number.
Regards,
iam sending the email to i opened sr and contacted congressman too iam just curious about how long this will take

desi393306-17 01:33 PM......You are NOT supposed to have immigration intent when you apply F1. .....
Correct. You are right.
One must not have immigration intent at the time of applying for F1 visa or entering USA using F1 visa. However, intent can change over time. Please google for 30-60-90 day rule.
In fact, one can file for I-485 after 90 days of F1 visa status, if he/she is otherwise eligible.

santa12306-10 07:24 AMwhen you emphasize something unnecessarily, ("I am also from India") proves that you are lying. So foolish... Try your tricks somewhere else you tunnel rat!:mad::mad:
I am also from India but the point I am discussing here is clearly a violation of law by Outsourcing vendors including IBM (not just Indian companies), TCS, Wipro etc. I work for a medium size consulting firm based in US and on H1 visa ...and I am impacted by these violations and I think I have the right to oppose this act.... to prove my identity shud I tell you my stories in Chennai consulate... or shud I tell u abt my days in b'lore or shud I tell you all abt my 24 years in India.. you can decide :-).
BUT regarding the L1 violation we have decided and this time the vendor is exposed to the authorities and justice is done. We have the support of good client managers who understands visa regulations.

grupak03-25 11:36 AMThis is a real problem. I got a letter from a prospective employer, who wanted proof that I was legally eligible to work in the US (alongwith transcripts, previous employment letters etc.) prior to scheduling an interview.:cool:
I believe employers are seeing a lot of candidates on EAD, and for whatever reasons they dont think EAD is good enough and would like to weed those candidates out beforehand.
We need to fight back against this discrimination.:mad:
Start writing to DOJ on the link americandesi provided if you are effected. Enough is enough.

srgadi09-23 12:51 AMI have had couple of LUDs on my cases (9/10 and 9/13) and nothing after that. The last time I gave my fingerprints were in Jan 2009, so I am sure they have expired. Should I proactively get the biometrics done (by taking an infopass and requesting biometrics notice) or wait for them to send me the notice?
Not sure if this will help if I open up an SR or take an infopass. Anyone got their 485 approved while their biometrics were expired?
