Can we hold back two weeks outing for dinner and contribute that money to IV.
Sure i can and i did $200. More follows at the first sight of some hope after the recess. Nonetheless, Core Team please keep up the rock solid motivation and spirit to get us through this ordeal
For the record, this is my 9th yr in US and about to file for my 4th EAD. With July 02 PD in EB3 .. not sure what and when to expect. You bet i am from retrogressed country.
I can only hope this team do not loose their spirit with any setbacks.

We all will have to work to make the injustice visible; only then will the employers start behaving.
We all remember there used to be a IV voice member who used to leave abusive comments to everybody. Once we all made a hue and cry about this Pappu took action against him by disclosing his identity and since that day we have not seen any complaints by members.
Yes. That member and probably other such members are now on other site posting anti-IV posts.....
It is shameful to have such members among us.
Anyways, good thread. This site should help people fix the broken system rather than abuse each other or track all day. I hope due to the discussion, people can get some ideas and take action against such employers. IV will be willing to help as needed.

I didnt know you have such doubts about the efforts of IV and its goals.
Anyways, have you every picked up the phone and called us to ask us what we are doing at that moment? What we did last week, what's our plan next week? You know, there is a phone number listed at several places on the website. That phone never rings. Oh yes, never. So who come you never seek answers where you can get them?
We have told several times, that we dont have time to keep everyone in loop about everything we do in DC, including every time we meet some staffer or someone. Sorry, that's just how it is.
Last week, Aman was in DC on Thursday and Friday (Jan 25 and 26) and had meetings with 3 senate staffers who work on Immigration. Then he went to India, then he came back straight to DC monday morning and since yesterday, he has met with 2 more staffers, our lobbyists.
We are also trying to find out about the schedule A rumor and if its true, to have the recaptured visas go to all categories not just schedule A.
So there, you have your update? If you want to know more, then call us on the phone.
And this update is the kind of update we dont usually post on forums. This is mundane advocacy stuff. Find me one organization that gives hour by hour update of what they are doing.
If you dont trust us, what are you doing here. Why dont you join the "bash IV" party at immigration portal and enjoy criticizing the arrogant IV core and its stupid blind followers. I am sure you will find many enlightened fellows like over at portal who are smart enough not to follow or believe in IV.

With my very best wishes to those of you waiting for your GC, this thread is created for the lucky among us who received it recently. I am putting together a list of things to do, and not do, to maintain our freshly minted PR status, which should also help during future citizenship application. The list is mostly about little things that others have learned from experience (and I am learning from their experience, by reading in immigration-related forums such as IV). The more obvious things that can be found for example in USCIS handbook (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/M-618.pdf) are not included here. Below is a snapshot of what I have gleaned from Internet so far, and please add your own input(s):
LIST of DO's :
[This is an evolving list thanks to valuable inputs from folks here and elsewhere, so keep checking back.]
Cheers,
Stuck(no more)InTheMuck
Thanks for the detailed information.
I have a unique situation here. My original GC sponsor (a multi billion dollar industry leader) laid me off after 6 months of I485 due to lack of position in the company.
I ported my GC using AC 21 and joined another small consulting company. Now my GC is approved and I have an offer in hand from another company.
Will it be a good idea to move or do I have to wait for 6 months or 1 year before I make an employment switch.
My most important consideration is that there is chance of potential loss of job (may god forbid) with the current position. I may be able to save myself by switiching job right now. And of course there is more money on the table.

Yes, that is right, I said �plight of EB2-India�.
"... and if not, India is a great country and provides enough opportunities for any skillset !!
I wish more people shared this thought and even better did this rather than just say to vent. And the GC line would have been smaller.
Lets not waste time blaming others rather work on upligting yourself and if you think you are capable help others too. If this was your once-in-month harmone reaction, please pardon my preachings. But than this is the only country where you can attain goals and dreams that are un-imaginable anywhere else. So if you have been categorized in EB3 think about how to migrate to EB2 and same for EB2 to EB1 or into some other category ( family etc.) that can help you attain your goal ( assuming GC is the goal at this forum, presently).
And I like to remind myself, if you comment on others be ready to be sermoned. Hope you all will be kind. Peace be with you.:)

My PD is Nov 2004 (EB3 India). My 140 has not been approved yet. Also, I do not plan to use EAD so issues thereby are out of question. My only worry is can I keep renewing H1B while my 485 has not been approved. My attorney says NO. He says that you can apply for H1B extensions after 6 years only if you have not been able to apply for 485.
However based on your responses, it looks like I will have to validate this with some other lawyer to make sure if I can keep extending my H1B so I can maintain my wife's H4 status.
From what I know your lawyer is wrong, you will get one year H1 extensions in your case.
ask another lawyer or go over older Murthy chatlogs/faqs.

I dont think companies are really geared to file for 140 within 45 days of labor approval.
Most of the companies take 4-6 weeks to just send the documents the lawyers request for filing 140. Then the lawyers, most likely forget something and request more documents. It takes another 2 weeks for company to send those.
All in all, on average I think companies need 3 months after approved labor to be ready to Fedex that 140 petition. No malicious intent on the part of employer, its just how things are. 45 days is going to make things difficult for many companies and many of the lazy, slow, procrastinating law firms.

One more thing. Working on EAD can be preferred to both categories, ppl who has consumed all 6 years and ppl who haven't yet.
1. If you have consumed all 6 years, according to above link, can file MTR if 485 is wrongly denied due to AC21. EAD remains valid till atleast the appeal period. while if they are on H1 extension beyond 6 years, H1 is cancelled with immediate effect.
2. PPL who haven't consumed 6 years have an added advantage to come back to H1 and guess what, he can (if needed) start a new GC process while retaining his older PD (as his 140 was once approved, he retains that PD for life).
I found this by extremely intense research on internet, CIS website and many well-known lawyers forums, chats and discussion. However it is always advisable to consult your own attorney.
Thanks for the additional information. In case 1 - can the applicant still retain the priority date if s/he wants to start a new GC process? In other words, does 6 year expiration have any effect on retaining PD?
From what I have gathered so far, it appears that it's a misconception that a lot of people have who feel it's safer to stay on H1. It doesn't sound like EAD is as bad as I had once initially thought..

Top 10 Immigration Hawks in Congress
Posted Feb 24, 2006
10. Sen. Tom Coburn (R.-Okla.)
One of only two Senate GOP co-sponsors of the Border Security and Interior Enforcement Improvement Act to build a border fence, increase agents, give local law enforcement the ability to protect citizens from illegal immigration and require countries to accept their citizens back quickly. Sponsor of bill to deny �birthright citizenship� to babies of illegals.
9. Rep. Elton Gallegly (R.-Calif.)
Has called for a constitutional amendment to deny "birthright citizenship" to babies of illegal immigrants and for an end to welfare for illegals. Sponsored amendment allowing states to deny education to illegals� children. Introduced a bill to require employers at critical infrastructure sites to use computerized system for verifying an employee�s Social Security number.
8. Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R.-Ariz.)
When Mexican President Vicente Fox called the idea of a border fence "disgraceful and shameful,� Hayworth declared, �President Fox should shut up." Author of Whatever It Takes: Illegal Immigration, Border Security, and the War on Terror (Regnery, 2006�a Human Events sister company).
7. Rep. Steve King (R.-Iowa)
Has assumed role as a national leader on immigration reform and opposes guest-worker program, saying, "Mere discussion of the possibility of amnesty encourages illegal immigration." Sponsored an amendment to enforce a law forbidding localities from preventing police from reporting immigration information. Led series of immigration forums titled "Secure America's Future."
6. Rep. Lamar Smith (R.-Tex.)
Recently named to U.S. Border Control�s �Honor Roll� for his perfect voting record on immigration and border issues. His 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act mandated implementation of a national exit-entry tracking system for all aliens but is not near completion.
5. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D.-Calif.)
Supports stiffening penalties for alien smugglers and increasing number of border control agents. Last week announced new legislation to crack down on the construction or financing of tunnels into the U.S. Sees guest-worker program as a �magnet for continued illegal immigration.� Told Human Events that if we can build a fence along the entire Mexican border, we should.
4. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R.-Calif.)
Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Advocate of building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, sponsored amendment to authorize construction of several hundred miles of fencing, which passed 260 to 159. In 1995, led fight to authorize an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents when Clinton Administration attempted to cut resources.
3. Rep. John Hostettler (R.-Ind.)
Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Claims. Sponsor of the Secure America Act to strengthen immigration enforcement and sentencing and to authorize use of the armed forces on the border. Said Bush's guest-worker plan "puts the interest of foreign, illegal workers above those of our own American citizens."
2. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R.-Wis.)
Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Authored the REAL ID Act, preventing driver's licenses issued to illegal immigrants from being used for federal purposes, such as boarding a plane. His Border Security bill rejecting Bush�s guest-worker plan passed the House in December.
1. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R.-Colo.)
Chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus. Has repeatedly attacked the Bush Administration for its support of a guest-worker/amnesty program for illegal aliens. Once said that President Bush is an obstacle to immigration reform and that Bush's "open door" border policy is a threat to national security. Afterwards, was reportedly told by Karl Rove, "Don't ever darken the doorstep of the White House."

Does this amendment strictly apply to new H1B filings or will it also impact people with H1B and an approved I-140 but need to extend it due to retrogression?
Regarding the exodus, maybe that is their purpose. Maybe, they have enough
hi-tech workers and they don't need more. I guess we need to watch and wait and accept this as a reality.

// 2006 PD filers dont worry abt spouse 485. Your PD would become available only after couple of years. My PD is Sept 2005 and I dont anticipate to get my GC within 2yrs. For reference look at the PERM data that is published, you would get a good idea. //
So, we (who are not married and PD 2006/2007 EB2) file 485 now and wait for our PD to come CURRENT again to file our spouse 485. We'll maintain our
H1B and bring her here on H4 and then wait for the PD to become CURRENT.
If she decides to go on H1 or F1, then we'll be able to invoke our EAD and change employers if needed, else what's the use even applying for 485 alone if we don't want to use the EAD at all ??

And that's never gonna happen. All Green Card seekers have stopped filing in EB-3, they are somehow managing to file in EB-2 by hook or by crook. So until congress changes any Law, every single spill over visa will be consumed by EB-2s and EB-3 India is not going to get a single spill over Visa...
1. I don't see any chances of getting any spill overs in the next two years.
2. There are only 3000 visas available for EB3-I in any given year (7% of EB3 quota). EB3-I will get few more if and when EB3-ROW gets current.

If USCIS decides to use the postmarked date as the filing date then it would be trickier for those whose PD was not current in June but have "filed" on June 29/30.
USCIS doesn't use postmark date. Don't sperad incorrect info and don't make other members anxious needlessly.
July 2nd filers are fine. Don't worry. Just wait for your receipt notices. We have been through a lot of stress in last month and its time to relax now (for those who already filed).
