Topic: any suggestions
uscis receipt date is December 18 2007. on january 16 they transferred to NBC. on Feb 1st 2008 they trasnferred to Vermont. I checked USCIS processin dates for the vermont service venter and it said December 29, 2007. Does this mean that my application should've already been processed, or it is now whithin the processing timeframe. any suggestions. thanks. |
Topic: Anyone else feeling what I'm feeling?
I've not yet received my EAD. Tomorrow will be 90 days. I have a great entrepeneurial drive and it is beat down everytime I see the evening news. Mortgage crisis, high gas prices, unemployment, recession, in sum, the perfect economic storm. Does anyone else wonder what the point of having an EAD document in this type of scenario is? I have my degree in education and california just laid off 20,000 teachers and counselors. Things aren't exactly looking good, but I guess compared to any third world country things are great. I always try to be an optimist, but everything around me only brings the my pessimistic side out. Anyone else feeling the same? Any thoughts? |
Topic: Any information please
i sent my employment authorization in november but it was returned to me twice since they told me to direct file. i didn't know what that meant so i sent everything to my lawyer and she finally sent it off. USCIS finally got my case on December 18, 2007. on January 16, 2008, they sent my case to the National Benefits Center "in order to speed up processing." on February 1st, 2008, USCIS sent my application to the Vermont Service Center for processing, and again "a notice explaining this action" was sent. i was just wondering if anyone out there knows how much longer i'll need to wait for my application to be processed? my wife is the only one working right now and i hate seeing her see us barely scraping by each month. is there anything i can do to speed up the application? |

Topic: What's in a name?
"simulacra" is part of the title of in Jean Beaudrillard's book "Simulacra and Simulation." This is the book that inspired the movie trilogy "The Matrix." The book itself, in turn, was inspired by Plato's "Allegory of the Cave." In American society, people are socialized into believing that the U.S. is an ever enduring entity; something without an end; eternal. To all things: there is a beginning and an end. My hope is that such and end does not occurr while I'm gettin my residency. I'm always a pessimist, and have always believed that the day I get my residency will also be the day a nuclear bomb or some catrastrophic event happens to where I won't be able to enjoy my long awaited residency. On the bigger picture, I like political theory and how it has the capacity to help us (humanity as a whole) understand each other. Whether it is Plato, Kant, Hobbes, Marx, Nietzsche, Berlin, or Foucault, we can learn from them to understand the ideas behind our everyday thinking of politics. |
Topic: What's so great about America?
I wouldn't exactly call your immigration "smart." And why do people necessarily have to serve in the millitary. Certainly one cannot make people love a country. This is the reason why it is against the contitution to force a child to say the pledge of allegiance. You simply cannot put something in the hearts of people that they do not want. I think you are a very millitarily chauvanistic individual. And while I do agree on the fact that people should have to learn english (for efficiency reasons), and should not get citizenship based on birth (for political reasons, in Aristotelian terms), I must depart from you line of thinking on automatic military service for people coming here. A very irrational line of thinking to say the least. |
Topic: Changed Approval dates?
It's all a matter of time. You must learn to wait. Things take time. If you were the only one in the entire world filing, the situation would be different. What irritates me about your topic is that you mention hispanics. Please, don't try to make it an "us vs. them" scenario. I'm hispanic and I've been waiting six months for my EAD. We're all here for the same reason and we all have to wait, not just you. |
Topic: What's so great about America?
Everything is great about America. I'm glad to have been born in a coutry so close to the U.S. as Mexico. And while the saying "so close to glory, yet so far away" is a constant in the back of my mind, I can only count my blessings for not having to cross oceans or continents to get here. I have always held that if one is a beggar in the U.S., it is simply because one wants to be in that situation. In the U.S. if you have a will, you'll find a way. Even though I'm not a citizen or a resident of this country (although I have practically been raised here), I can say that I would die for this country. I love the U.S.. I love the freedom, politics, academic freedom, and a sense of purpose. I love that I can gather with my friends at a starbucks and discuss Baudrillard, Marx, Goldman, Nietzsche, Foucault, or Berlin with the same liberty as Locke, Hobbes, Rosseau, Burke, Ricardo, or Smith. I may be a Mexican by birth, but as Edmund Burke would hold, me being raised in American traditions and culture makes me an American. |
Topic: reentering the U.S.....Please help
I came to the U.S. when i was nine undre a visa. I applied for residency through my sister. USCIS will tell me to leave and wait the rest of the time in Mexico. My entire family lives in the U.S. My lawyer explained to me that since I overstayed my original permission to be in the U.S. (as if I had any choice when i was nine), when I reapply for a visa, more than likely they will refuse it on these grounds. I'm ok with waiting in Mexico for six more years, but my parents are old and I'm only seeking a visa in case an emergency happens and I need to come to the U.S. Is anybody else in the same scenario. Can anyone give me any information regarding a refusal if I apply for a visa. Also, I applied for a work permit in november of 07. I got the receipt in december 16 of 07. How long (approx.) can I expect to wait to receive my permit. Thank you for your answers. |
