They hushed up and approved my EAD in 20 days. Why ???? 'cos So they don't hit Jun'30 and give 2 years. They wanted to milk another 680 from me so they hushed up and sent me the 1 year EAD in 20 days.

People feel as if they have achieved something big after getting an EAD. EAD is not a visa and EAD status is not a valid status. You in fact lose your h1b valid status once you invoke AC21.
I have personally seen people change their attitudes as if they have achieved a gold medal in Olympics and talk big about "'Fingerp[rinting", about AC21, as if they have written the AC21 law. Does anyone know how AC21 came into picture on the first hand? There was an advocacy group called "Immigrant Social Network" that was behind the AC21. Prior to that, EB rules were extremely stringent with no portability.
Everyone browses this website, gains knowledge and behaves as if he/she is an immigration expert and has achieved something big.
We have been cajoling people. To what extent?
Words cannot describe the amount of effort "needhelp" has been putting in. She still continues to be the same and claims that her morale will never go down and her commitment levels have increased. All the cowards, and so called smart asses - try to learn some good lessons from people like her.
Life is not all about shopping at Macys, talking about fingerprinting, and watching TV, and spending hours on phones talking about how dealstobuy is different from buy.com or not about how CVS pharma sells the same item for less rate than rite aid. Life is not all about "sitting here doing nothing and talking about how different countries are rising and why one MUST not care for his own good"
IV is a volunteer organization and every member is equally responsible member. If you try to elude, and act smart - it only reflects your dirty character.
If you are here, do something. Yes, atleast something that you feel you can do. Please do not cheat those who are working extremely hard for your cause.

i thought a simple majority i.e. >50 would make the bill pass through senate. is that not true?
Its only going to take 5 people to break away from the 64. Those 35 "No" votes are the ones who want CIR dead NOW. They are not going to change. But those 64, its only going to take 5 people to walk away.
There are 24 amendments. I think atleast 5 people would see their amendments fail on the floor of the house and probably another 5 atleast who would withdraw support because someone else's amendment passed. This baby is going DOWWWNNN this weekend per my estimate. I could be wrong but again, 24 amendments ? That's too many darts on a fragile compromise.

I got 2 positive responses from orkut members in DC.
One said Oh ok, I will.. so this person didn't even know about it until after seeing the scrap.
Yes I posted scraps on individual members' scrapbooks, not just community posts.
I suggest if you are on orkut, scrap any and every one in DC communities, if a lot of people ask them to come, they will know how important it is!!

Are we/employees really supposed to know all the steps involved in the approval of GC process (Perm, 140/EAD/485 etc.)?
I work for one of the fortune 100 companies, to my surprise, none of my European colleagues is aware of all the GC process. All they do is just provide documents what ever the HR department asks for. They don�t pay from their pocket for GC (ideally correct). None of them has clue about priority date etc�.they get communicated by the HR department about their GC process.
So putting your case in perspective. I am assuming that the HR department would just hand over the GC to the employee. Neither the HR (I think) nor the employee (definitely) would worry about the PD being current.
Ideally if a law firm is point of contact for a petition, what would they do? Would they go back to USCIS and tell them that the GC is approved by mistake? I don�t think so but some one can confirm if they had experience otherwise.
I highly doubt the HR dept of an organization is filing labor certs, I-140s and I-485s without the assistance of immigration attorneys whether in-house or outside counsel. I work for one of the largest hospital chains n the US, and our HR offices use external counsel for immigration matters.

Thanks Totoro.
Can Totoro (or anybody) answer this question?
We filed married filing joingly and received our tax returns and no stimulus rebate. Can we re-file our tax return by filing separately this year (i.e. extension/amendment within 3 months?) Has anyone done this? Please let me know.
I noticed that if you itemize your deductions, you dont loose much even if you file "married filing separately".
Thanks!
No you can't. You must have filed separately. You could have amended your return to file jointly, but not the other way around.

It�s so easy to say change of leadership....but as a member what you have done till now....
I think a change of leadership of IV is critical if we have to get anywhere. IV has not been able to achieve a single thing in all of its existence. Not a single thing, nada, zitto, zapata. Not disclosing the issues they are working on, not disclosing how the funds are distributed, not disclosing the lobbyist they are using. Who in the world calls that leadership!
That is the reason that no one wants to contribute. First get some results, show people results for what they have paid for. Then ask for more money. Most people I talk to are confident that IV will achieve nothing given their track record. I tried to convince a colleague to join IV. He bet with me that they will not be able to achieve even this filing I-485 issue. He bet that he will join and pay if they did.
I know IV works like dIVorced wIVes club and saying anything negative is taboo. Anyone saying anything negative is crushed with (p)curses. Only good mushy things are allowed here. So here it is: We will get our GCs by the end of the month. Hallelujah!
But I am writing this for the benefit of IV and please take this as constructively as you can. As a member, I have full right to suggest a change of leadership when I think it can help.

I will contribute 25$ on my behalf. And I suggest that we can take a copy of this letter and send it to Ombudsman, president and hilar clinton telling that USCIS even dont know how many applications with PD per country.
We can also send the copy of this letter to AILA and any other media and try to get an publicity so that ultimately aim should be like the processing times there must be a web page in USCIS where it should display each month what is the no of applications with pd per country. If we dont request this then after an year again we have to pay 5K to get this report.
Third thing is can IV management contribute some money?

The intent of this thread is good. There are however practical considerations.
Many of us are from India. In the era pre opening up its economy, we had many well educated folks unable to get jobs there. The socialist strangle was such that highly educated people had no suitable jobs and private enterprise was actively discouraged. Many sought economic and professional refuge in more capitalist economies and to some extent we are still seeing the spillover from the policies of that era, with an excess supply of human skilled capital there and opportunities still not able to spread to the whole economy/population.
The reason I am saying all this is, investing in skills like masters etc is generally a good thing, but not always. In fact there are many studies to prove this point, some demonstrate that too much education is a negative predictor of economic success.
In our situation, capital is important, whereever we end up. Since in a capitalist model money works for you, and obviously if you have enough of it then you can spend your time doing other things, charity work or whatever warms your heart. Doing an MBA or any other higher education is very expensive in america. It is an investment. If you end up here, it will perhaps turn out to be a good investment, otherwise it will be of limited use to us especially in India, especially if a global recession hits.
Pessimistic you say, lets reserve judgement on that and consider all of the geo political issues going on right now.
If that is so the capital preserved by not doing an MBA in a top ten school which I estimate to be about 60-70K if I am not mistaken might be put to another use.
What do you guys think about this line of argument.

Can I485 be applied through local USCIS office instead of the service center? if yes, whats the procedure?
NO
Employment-Based Applications
If you are filing for lawful permanent resident status based on an offer of permanent employment in the US, you should submit your I-485 to:
USCIS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87485
Lincoln, NE 68501-7485
This includes an EB I-485 if you are filing a Form I-140, Petition for Alien Worker, concurrently with your I-485, or an I-485 filing based on a pending or an approved Form I-140.

If you filed early May and received a Notice of Receipt from USCIS, that means your I-485 is already in process, and you have been assigned an Alien Number already. The announcement from INS is very clear, "Effective Monday July 2, 2007 there will be no further authorizations in response to requests for Employment-based preference cases". It says EFFECTIVE JULY 2 and "NO FURTHER" right? That means the only ones affected are applications received July 2 and onwards.
I don't know what you are confused about. Ther is nothing confusing about it at all. Maybe you're just a plain dumbass.
Wow, that was rude and uncalled for and it makes you look like a dumbass.
I think that some people have been waiting for this for so long that they're now starting to get worried about anything the USCIS does nowadays. If I understood correctly someone above said that just having your application in processing does not mean you have been assigned a visa so I can understand why people who have recently sent in their application would be worried. It makes them wonder whether the USCIS' claim that they're out of visas also applies to them. It may sound simple to you, but neither you nor anyone here really knows what is going on in their minds up there, there are only speculations. If we knew what was happening, there wouldn't be so much discussion.

Not necessarily getGC. I am EB3 but i am a Masters from the US. Sometimes for fresh hires lawyers play it safe by applying in EB3. I had emailed someone at competeamerica.com and they had mentioned that an "advanced degree" is either a masters or a PhD. You mentioned that you had an engineering degree from India. Is that a B.E. or an M.Tech/M.E.? If you have a master's degree from India, you need to ask ur lawyer if that qualifies as an advanced degree.
But even otherwise, it still benefits you, coz say even 20-25% of Current EB3 have master's degrees, they will be out of the queue and you will be benefitted. I know it doesnt sound like a benefit, coz it is not a direct one, but if you look at it from a different angle, you will see it.
I agree with you eb3_nepa. It is not a fact that everyone in EB2 category has an Advanced degree and also not a fact that no one in EB3 category has an advanced degree. So, this bill will benefit a bunch of EB3 and EB2 folks directly and indirectly.
BTW, I am also in the same boat as you are. I have a Master's in Engineering from the U.S. But I am in the EB3 category.
Sen. Bill Frist's bill is definitely a win-win situation for a lot of parties. It doesn't include the Guest Worker program as well as it includes all the major provisions for EB legal folks.
Now lets just hope that it passes the Senate and House (more critical) without any unnecessary bureaucratic delays.

Don't take me the wrong way, these guys sure are very nice, but just because he filed in July without a receipt does NOT mean anything. It's not like his 485 has been approved, and even if it had, that doesn't mean anything either.
Remember we are dealing with some contractors in the mail room, and without official guidance from USCIS in the form of a field notice, each employee in the mail room could make his arbitrary decisions.
So, i wouldn't delude myself based on what someone in IV core has done. It MAY sound logical to include the copy of 140 but then as you probably know by know, logic does not apply here :D

we are a grassroots organization
i think we take pride in the fact that the flower campaign originated at the grassroots. let's not forget though
1. without "iv" as a whole which is all of us, the flower campaign would not be a success
2. flowers alone did not reverse the desicion. a lot more happened including lobbying. don't forget what congresswoman lofgren did...
moral of the story: if we all work together we can succeed, just talk is useless. and a many pronged effort is needed. this is not going to be easy...
