I see a lot of boiling blood and nice thoughts, If we can find out How much it would cost to pull out a Half page or Full Page AD on prominent news paper like NY Times or WSJ etc. Work on and create a fullpage/half page ad that would be a good start in opening eyes of congress/common people.
Any thoughts.

Full page is for $65000 in section A New York Times.
If you want for specific day, it is for $142,083
Now, How much do you want to contribute to this amount?
People on this thread think this is some joke. By pledging 1K you cannot even get a mosquito out of country cap. You need million dollar first to start.

I got an email from my law firm, that my packet was refused to be accepted by USCIS.
I received the email from my law firm (Monday night - July 2) that:
Please note however your case was sent to Nebraska last night and did arrive - we tried!
Which means mine was sent or reached NSC sunday night or must have been hand delievered early Mon morning. Don't know exactly what happened. I just trust them!!!!
I didn't bother to ask my law firm further details. I will ping them first thing monday morning and try to give any update I get. I hope they have some proof of the refusal!!!!!!!............
If it was sent Fedex, DHL or UPS, ask for the tracking number. You'll be able to trace if it was really sent to USCIS or not.

Hi,
How can one know if ones employer has withdrawn/cancelled ones H1B visa? Apart from asking the employer, if one uses the EAC # ans checks the status on www.uscis.gov, will it be reflected over there?
Q: Can an employer cancel H-1B visa without employee�s knowledge/consent?
A: Yes and remember it is illegal to travel on a cancelled visa.
Q: If an employer can cancel my visa without my knowledge, how do I know that my visa is still valid?
A: Unfortunately, the only reliable source for that information is INS and your employer. There is really no other way to find out. You could try INS although they may not help you as you are an employee.

Check with your lawyer but I believe there may be a grace period wherein they allow you to add your wife's name after 485 filing. In addition, there is a 4 year backlog in the family based green card process. 01-JUN-02 for FB-2A (India).
My pd is jan 2005 and i was waiting for the dates to become current.I am not married and will most probably get married by this year end[parents in the process of searching matches].my dilemma is whether to apply for 485 now or not.can i add my wife's name later on while the 485 is in the final stages of the process[say an year after the process began] or just before the green card is being dispatched etc so that both of us can get green cards.i dont want to miss this chance because i seriously feel that the dates might retrogress again.but if i apply and get a green card u all know how many years it will take to get wife to usa in family based immigration.somebody please clear my doubt.Thank you

Filed I-485 in Sep 2004 and pending since then, what are my options?
Now since it is current what should I do? Any suggestions, I am going to call USCIS and my attorney.

I got laid off with a pending I-140 filed July 2006 along with I-485. I was told that as soon as those docs are filed my H1B becomes invalid. True? I still have an approved H1B receipt from another company valid thru Feb 2008. Can I still use it? Thank you.
You are pretty much safe to look for another job using AC-21. But make sure the job description is the same as your previous work (the company that did your concurrent I140/485 filing. You need to consult a lawyer for the AC-21 process.

Folks,
If this bill text passes, there will be a backlog center for all our I-140/I-485 petitons. We are limited by 90,000. Has anybody found any new relief for BEC candidates?
They are allocating supplemental greencard numbers for Z visa holders with a flexible limit and this supplemental allocation will go away once all Z visa holders adjust (end of page 287 and beginning of page 288).

If you are from India or from a country which fought for its freedom, you would not ask this question.
When M.K.Gandhi held his first rally against the British rulers(nothing personal here Franklin and Mark :) ), it did not result in immediate freedom, but was it worthless ?
It's not just India that won freedom either, don't forget USA!
Although I do admire Gandhi's approach more.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED.
If Britain still ruled India, I'd probably be marching with you in India!
What would rather you tell your children, "I sat at home and read the forums", or "I marched in the streets".

I read in some posts before that there were 18,000 Eb3 approvals in 2007. Is this true ? If USCIS is allocating unused numbers at the end of the year, then Eb3 India might move fast during the rest of this year.
Yeah 2007 was a anomaly than rule.

Just being paranoid, but is 797 the number for the "receipt notice" as well as notice of action? I know that when H1 or 140 is decided, the notice of action form is called 797. I know that the USCIS seems pretty clear in the FAQ, but just wanted to confirm that a receipt is also called 797

I agree its a great idea, still most of crowd don't understand what are we asking and relates us to un-documented workers.
Even within legal community most people who are pre-gc stage (H1/LE Etc) they don't have any interest; ppl came to me at work after rally to tell me that they are 4-5 years away from my situation so they didn't feel attending rally. Bigger the better, we need big crowd, NJ/NY/MD/DC/VA are worthless. We can try doing rally in Houston, TX area, we may find dedicated people there. But I feel it will be very tough to show heads rally in big numbers.

Just one anti-immigration group, NumbersUSA, has sent more than 100,000 faxes and made thousands of calls to Congress since Wednesday. The intensity of that anger propelled some of the bill's opponents.
To make it a fair debate and an honest opinion the senate and the congress should take the SSN of all anit immigrant groups and analyse their credit history work record etc...

Thanks piyu7444.
Yes there is and it is called visa portability. :)
Ok, Here's the law says about so called "transfer"
D. AC21 105 -- Visa portability
The AC21 105 provides that a nonimmigrant who was previously issued an H-lB visa or provided H-1B nonimmigrant status may begin working for a new H-lB employer as soon as that new employer files a "nonfrivolous" H-lB petition on the nonimmigrant's behalf, if:
(a) the nonimmigrant was lawfully admitted to the United States;
(b) the nonfrivolous petition for new employment was filed before the end of their period of authorized stay; and
(c) the nonimmigrant has not been employed without authorization since his lawful admission to the United States, and before the filing of the nonfrivolous petition.
The status of a dependent of a principal nonimmigrant that is working pursuant to portability benefits is derivative of and linked to the status of the principal nonimmigrant. Therefore, dependents will remain in H-4 status if the principal nonimmigrant is lawfully working pursuant to portability benefits.
Further it says,
The Service expects, therefore, to propose a rule that would afford H-lB beneficiaries, who are no longer working for the initial H-lB employer, some reasonable period of time such as 60 days after leaving the initial H-lB employer to begin working for a new H-lB petitioning employer under the portability provisions. It is important to note that such a proposed rule would not, of course, take effect until it has been published as a final rule, after notice and comment, and any revisions. This prospective statement of policy is provided solely for informational purposes to Service personnel and shall not be utilized as a standard of adjudication in cases involving portability issues, unless and until promulgation of a final rule implementing AC21 105 with such an interpretation. Service personnel will be notified of any changes in the processing of AC21 benefits that may occur upon the effective date of a final rule.
There are few other memo's on this I will try to post the links for reference
Good information but 'transfer' is a widely used word which is technically incorrect. "Transfer" never happens, its always a NEW PETITION when one switches employer or applies (through an employer) for authorization to work for new or 2nd employer. Probably 95% immigrant community including lawyers use the term 'transfer' but it is indeed incorrect.
Thanks to all who shared knowledge and pitched in.

Agreed CIR benefits illegals more than us, and some of its provisions are flaky. But then it raises the EB cap to 625K and exempts MS + 3 yrs from cap.That in itself is a huge relief measure for us. Agreed illegals benefit a lot more, and the dems are more sympathetic to them but the point is we are not the choosers here. Something is better than nothing is the dictum for us.
Let us now stop re-inventing the wheel and re-focus our efforts to make the new congressmen aware of our situation. Have a nice day !
Actually I do have a convincing answer... whether or not that bill passes, we are in a lose-lose situation. I have read the bill (not in its entirety like I already stated). I know that the amnesty section already specified there will be no immediate granting of citizenship, excepting the wording for those who have been in this country for more than 5/6 years seems to imply they would get citizenship (again, the way a bill is worded can be twisted in future).
What I am worried about is, I get the feeling this is going to end up dipping into our EB3 pool... we previously had a Sched A for physicians and nurses that took numbers out of EB3 exclusively for them.
And I don't listen to Lou Dobbs or NumbersUSA rantings. But if you kept your ears open more than 6 months ago, you would also have heard some Dems says some not-so-friendly things about us.
One prominent Dem senator said H1-Bs are not suffering as much as illegals.
Another prominent Dem said this country needed more farm workers, not more IT / skilled ppl.
Have a nice day, anyway.
