Does anyone know that if it's an India-issued passport and if it's about to expire, will I get the new passport the same day if I submit the application for renewal in person to the CGI/ Indian Embassy at Houston/ NY?
At NY you may get same day service using Tatkal option ($90 extra) . You can tell them you need same day service. They will examine your passport and let you know if they can renew it the same day or not. You can then pay the $90 tatkal fee and collect the passport the same evening.

While this is an important issue, it could be largely addressed if backlogs are eliminated, thus speeding up the adjudication time. At this time there is no specific charter to address this issue, however, this is a problem that persists across the spectrum, and not only in employment-based immigration categories.
(I will bring this to the notice of the Core Group, however, one should take note that we cannot have a very broad agenda, as it would be challenging for us to approach Congress with requests).
Yes I do understand, but many children who's visa numbers are not available or to follow to join are being separated from their loved ones. Just so inhumane, no compassion in the USA and no senators or congressemn seem to care

Senate Passes Key Funding for Women�s Business Centers
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today the U.S. Senate unanimously passed an amendment sponsored by Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.), Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine), and John Sununu (R-N.H.) to create a grant program for established, successful Women's Business Centers around the country. The provision is now part of the minimum wage legislation being considered on the Senate floor.
"I've been working for 21 years on the Committee to promote expanded entrepreneurial opportunities for women and secure funding for these centers which help turn ideas into jobs, start-ups into success," said Kerry, Chairman of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. "I cannot stress enough the vital role Women's Business Centers play in cities all around the country, like Boston and Worcester. This amendment ensures we will be providing women-owned small businesses the tools they need to grow and flourish."
"We cannot afford to ignore, or minimize, the extraordinary contributions America's business women are making to our economy, our culture, and our future. The achievements of women entrepreneurs are undeniable. Women-owned firms generate almost $2.5 trillion in revenues. They employ more than 19 million workers and are the fastest growing segment of today�s economy. In my home state of Maine alone, more than 63,000 women-owned firms generate an astounding $9 billion in sales," said Snowe. "Today, I am pleased to join Small Business Committee Chairman John Kerry and Senator Sununu with this amendment so women small business owners have the resources, the support and the opportunities they need and deserve."
Senator Sununu said: "Women's Business Centers contribute to the strength and diversity of the small business community, as we know from the great example set by Portsmouth's facility. Centers that have performed at a high level should have the option of applying for additional help to enable their important work to continue. The Senate�s action today marks an important step in the effort to preserve critical funding for WBCs in New Hampshire and across the country."
The amendment is similar to language that passed out of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship last summer as part of S. 3778, the comprehensive Small Business Administration reauthorization bill, which is based on the Women's Business Center Sustainability Pilot Program Kerry created in 1999.
Specifically, the amendment allows established Women's Business Centers to apply for 3-year grants on an ongoing basis. This permanent stream of federal funding is critical to helping the Centers secure matching private funds. This amendment also prohibits the Centers from sharing information about their clients without their consent, unless the information is required by a court order or to do an audit of the center.

I commend you on your response. Coming from a personal contact, I would have sulked or become really angry. Your reply is the best response i have ever seen. great job
Hi folks, just as predicted, my email thread to select contacts resulted in one outright racist response. i dont want this group to get distracted or distressed if you too get such responses. take a look at the original note below and my response. remain brave. remain strong. this is a LEGAL immigration process in the US economic interest too.
hopefully people will begin to realize that anti-legal-immigration is just a facade for deep rooted racism.
Best.
A SELF AVOWED RACIST RESPONSE from A PERSONAL CONTACT
I have to let you know that not only will I not support this bill, but I am vehemently against the legal immigration of workers that are originally brought here to usurp positions that would have otherwise been held by skilled Americans. I agree that this is a racist and exclusionary position, but I also know many people who can no longer get work at the level they deserve due to the displacement they have experienced as a result of this foreign worker influx.
Please remove me from any future posts regarding this or related issues.
MY RESPONSE
i know how the native americans must have felt when the pilgrims landed... oh that darned foreign influx.
i will not dignify your self avowed racism with the erudition of economics, capitalism, innovation, globalization, human rights or the rich history of the united states as a melting pot of cultures ... all of which are underpinning factors that are in the long term US economic interests in high skilled LEGAL immigration. of course, these tend to be conveniently ignored on the altar of superficial sentiment, myopic protectionism and deep-rooted xenophobia.
it would be best that we not be on each others' personal contacts or have any future interaction at all.

Hi
I am the Susan from www.expatsvoice.org and just so you know my husband passed away last year
He was the petitioner for my son who was to follow to join. We only heard son had aged out in Oct 2005 and was getting a court case ready in early 2006.
Sadly my husband became unwell in March 06, diagnosed terminal on 4th May and died 13th May 2006
Someone posted, there maybe only a few cases but the cost is huge from an emotional standpoint
If I win my court case this may result in others having benefit who were previously denied lets hope so and stand together on this.
The grief and deprression I have suffered is unbearable due to errors, delays and husbands death
The memo in cspa clearly says that the CSPA should be interpred expansively, to me that means common sense and compassion.
Until we get an amendment to CSPA I feel there will be so many more cases of hardship and termoil to come to notice
Very sad to know your situation, good that you still fighting..don't give up..we are with you.

To all:
For those of us, who have green cards, we would also like to participate, if we can add an action item to improve citizenship rules. Most of us have waited 10 yrs for green card, and waiting another 5 yrs on top of it is too much.
Also, h1bs + green card holders would be both interested in joining the cause.
say what?

Thnks, for the fax # , hope I get my EAD/AP soon, I had applied for AP on 4/9/2010 and EAD on 4/15/2010. My EAD is valid till Aug 3rd . My wife's EAD is till July 21st.
I sent both to Phoenix lock box as Im in CA. My checks havent been cashed yet, both were paper filing , in the past the checks used to be cashed in a week and I used to get the receipts in the mail within a weeks time.
Has any one been in a situation where they havent got EAD renewal in 90 days and has been successful in getting the interim EAD from the local USCIS office? Plz post their experiences here.

Hi,
Could someone guide me what to do with my situation.. here's what happened so far
1. Applied for passport renwal at CGI Houston and USPS tracking tells me it was delivered on Jan7th 2009. It was about to expire on Jan24th 2009.
2. I waited for almost this long and called them this week, they said they dont have it in the system and not even in the return sender list.
3. USPS says they delivered. All i had is just delivery confirmation, shud have had a signature or certified mail or rather used Fedex.
Not going back to USPS ever again, needless to say it was painful to get CGI Houston on the phone only to hear that they cant find my passport application....
Could someone please help with ideas !
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you sure if we can file EAD between 120 and 90 days prior to current EAD expiry date?
Can anyone who had renewed EAD recently confirm this?
Thanks.
