As mentioned in my earlier post, address on my husband's I-485 was changed by USCIS system wrongly to attorney's address. We were wondering whether the documents went to old address or attorney and thank god our attorney has received it today and we will get it tomorrow. As for me and my son, still waiting...

Well...I came in 2000 as a student...infact I had more stress in US ...never worked so hard..worrying about everything ...so i would put that I had a good time in india only...as I never imagined that I will be doing hi-tech bonded slavery..play to your mgr/employer's whims ...
Going to india atleast every 2 years, I see lot of potential and oppurtunities for business...tatas, mittal, infosys are buying companies in US so money is in asia now so you see all US companies flocking to tap Asian mkt. Having said this, I think I am looking back to go to india after couple more years of stay.
Cheer up as wherever you are, you make your surrounding good....
At the end, all bogs down to how happy you are !..:cool:
contributions $500
Been in the US since 1998, have an EB-2 PD of 2001, have played by the rules all along. Still no GC... And, the dates are going back to 2000 from the new year.. I've lost hopes...
I'm pretty close to getting clinical depression because of this game played by USCIS, Labor Dept, FBI and my own bad luck.
SKILL bill, OMNIBUS, etc. comes and goes. IV does seem to be doing things to lobby for the community, but let's face one reality. Like a news article said, no one in congress or senate wants to touch immigration even with a long pole until 2009.
The US has been very good to me (other than the GC part), more than my home country (India) which is why I'm still here.
Have invested too much of time in this country to just pack up and go. Just curious if any of you feel this way? How do you handle such depressing feelings?

Yeah, I know my life sucks. I have a priority date of Jan 2003. Got filed under EB3 even though did MS here... I begged and pleaded that they atleast send it on Jan 28th. For god's sake, I was qualified all the way since June 1st. I gave all the documents necessary by June 6th itself. Well, but they had to file on 29th.
I hear you man. I am in exact same situation. I filed on June 29th inspite of having whole July. We will see what happens. Hope we will be fine!
Good luck!

To know something is good (following news of one or more countries) so we can decide whats better. Seems like u have misinterpreted that or thinking too much to go on to say its "attachment" ha ha ha
But you watch Indian TV and see him everyday? :D
Why are you attached to India when you hate it? You want to get Green Card in USA and live here permanently. So should you not learn more about this country and culture. You cannot live in USA but think about India all the time and hate it too.

Hi,
Sent email to IV core emails listed in
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=57&Itemid=49
Thanks,
I know that IV core members are busy with their own jobs and helping with IV but I think this is an important discussion because it can be done with an administrative fix. If primary applicants are allotted GC's from EB 1,2 and 3 and dependents from FB2A it saves a lot of visa numbers. Somebody pls contact IV core directly and get them involved in this discussion.
This concept is not unique and is being done for age out children before CSPA (Child status protection act) and for children of US citizens and permanent residents who get married before getting GC.

I totally miss your point: why is ending retrogression bad? Because all 800K people might get the GC within 6 months? Whats wrong with that? Its not fair to those who have waited longer than others? Dont be a member of the "just because I suffered I want everyone else to suffer" That makes you no different from that talkshow host (who is now a citizen) on the radio channel recently who said he waited 10 years to get his GC, so everyone else also should, otherwise its not "fair"
Or, are you mixing up ending retrogression with making dates current? No thats not what we want. We want dates made current after the visa supply = demand. Just making all VBs like the July VB is pointless, and does lead to lots of uncertainties. By ending retrogression I mean making sure we have enough visa numbers for all who have been qualified by DOL (LC) and USCIS (I-140), by:
- ending per-country quota
- not counting dependents
- recapturing wasted visa numbers.
I think we are talking about the same thing. If you see my post carefully, I clearly mentioned that I do not support lifting retrogression if the annual quota limit continues. I will be more than happy to see all quotas lifted and everyone gets GCs tomorrow. But I will not be happy if a 2007 person gets the GC tomorrow and I get mine after 5 years. That's exactly what might happen if they keep the quotas but remove retrogression

Tricky question? Only USCIS can answer. May be part of FAQ3..;)
On July 25th lawyer sent my documents 140 & 485 concurrent, PD port from previous I-140 approval (approved at Nebraska).
Reached Nebraska Service Centre on July 26th.
Will it be processed at Nebraska Service centre or Texas Service centre? According to new direct filing instructions my employer and my residence comes under Texas Service centre.

I am sorry to say this but I am not at all surprised that CIR may not pass. Every American I know has called his/her Senator to tell them that they wont vote for them if they vote for amnesty. And that is expected since all they know about CIR is that it is an amnesty for illegal immigrants. I would have done the same thing if I was in their shoes.
I dont know if I should be happy or sad that CIR will not pass.
I am sad since this will affect legal people waiting to get their EAD card and other such issues that IV is fighting for.
I am happy because illegals will not get amnesty. That would be a slap in our face. It would have also led to the meltdown of the immigration machine which cant handle the current workload without bungling it up.
Maybe the failure of CIR will let us redirect our our efforts so we focus on a bill which specifically addresses the issues of LEGAl immigrants and we dont get tarnished by the illegal immigrants issues.

You are missing the point here again and taking whatever I said out of context!
Read the OP's issue again. She never said that she did not understand the laws fully. In fact both her and her desi consulting company know the immigration laws too well and have found loopholes to take advantage of it, which is morally wrong. Now tell me if it is wrong when I say this; If you know you are going out of status because you do not have a job, and you still do not change your status back to H4 in the hopes that you'll eventually land a job, then you have no right to stay in this country.
Please refrain from bringing in the refugees, their struggle and hardships and try to dilute what I have been saying in this entire thread!
Sledge_Hammer - You are so shallow in your thinking!
Every rule in this world has a human aspect. I urge you to grow up. Immigration rules in this country are so complex that even lawyers conflict with each other. We are simple human beings and most of the time we do not fully understand the law. Yes, it does not give us the authority to break the law, however, there are times when you become "out of status" by just sitting at home. There are times when you become victim of situation. I have 1000s of refugees in my city who flee Yugoslavia/Bosnia during ethnic cleansing/genocide of 1990s. US working with UN gave them refugee status and most of them have green cards now. Some of them lost sons, some of them lost fathers and they all have stories to tell. Do I go there with my MS/BS degree and tell them that I was in the line before and I should have gotten the GC before them? No! Do I curse the system for that? No! When countries fall apart and when morality/humanity hits the rock bottom, rules, status go right out of the window.
Please do not be so harsh on forums.
I do not have anything personal against you but there are times when you are very harsh on individuals and that changes the whole course of discussion.

7% quota based on national origin is based on law but it is clearly a biased and outdated law. It is beyond my comprehension why should we scared of initiating a litigation against the US government when it is clearly involved in blatant discrimination. The HSMP rules were challenged successfully by Indian high skilled workers in UK, why can't we do the same over here? I pledge to donate USD 200 for a lawsuit if such an action is initiated.
>> It is beyond my comprehension why should we scared of initiating a litigation against the US government when it is clearly involved in blatant discrimination.
What is stopping you to file such a lawsuit? Everybody expects someone else is going to solve their problems.

Hi All,
I have a question about invoking AC21 using EAD vs AC21 using H1B.
My status is as follows:
- approved 140 from a BIG company with BIG lawyers, but company going down.
- more than 180 days since filing 485
- H1B valid till March 2010.
- I have been on H1B since 2001
- WILL BE LAID OFF THIS WEEK.
I do not know if my sponsoring employer will revoke my 140, but I believe it should not matter.
My question however is regards to the EAD/H1B usage after revoking AC21.
I may get an offer from a company that is small with limited funding. They are not willing to do my H1B and want me to use EAD. I wanted to keep my H1B valid, but the company will make me pay for it. And given that I will have to apply for extension soon, I will have to pay for it again. So monetarily, its not good for me.
So I thought of using EAD for the new job. But if I want to get back to H1B later, i have the following questions:
1. Can I go back to H1B again after using EAD
2. Will I be subjected to the cap?
3. What should I do to get back to H1B?
4. Can I do it without leaving the country?
5. Will the financial of the new company matter. Its a valid startup and my job will be similar. I will take a pay cut, but I believe it should not matter for AC21.
6. Any other advice, anyone?
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.
regards,
ssk
