I think lot of people feeling that it is very difficult to pass Senate version CIR(May be they will pass house version now and Senate version later).
That might be reason for Skil bill. But any bill which has permanent increase in immigration will face a big opposition and delay of few weeks to few months to pass. In past 2000 the h1 increase to 195k was passed because that was temporary and eventually Cap was back to 65k. Similarly for GC unused other country quota was used to India and China. So everyone got a relief without much oppostion. Beacuse they were able to convince all congress members that no change in Cap of immigration. But skil bill is having permanent increase of GC and H1 and also exemptions will increase further immigration numbers. Though it is a permanent solution to resolve retrogession of pd it will face big oppostion from anti immigrants.

I agree ---- I think the momentum is slowing down...
at least can we not take any legal action for issuing out a rule (you can file MFS and get the stimuls and then amend MFJ) on 04/14/2008??? what about people who filed a long time ago as MFJ?? Because once you filed MFJ, the action is irrevocable!?! In my honest opinion, this stupidity of issuing out a clause the day before filing deadline deserves some "stir"!!
Not really, because they corrected it by allowing you to file next year instead. However, the legal challenge discussed early is still being worked on.

I missed it, not aware of it, not sure why. I am glad to see this chapter grow. There was a time where we were searching for folks with torchlights. Thanks to Chintu, walking_dude, cagedcactus, bestin and all others who are now making this happen.
I have a very close friend in Michigan, and asked him to join, but he talks about all hardships, about his HR manager, about his company, about his lawyer, about everything except IV stuff. I am sure there are many more people here doing the same thing. We have to motivate folks to come forward. We cannot afford to have people who are inactive.
Good luck to you all, try to merge folks from nearby states if they are still not organized until they get organized.
I will email you and other leaders to keep everyone informed about the activities here. Your guidance will be the fuel for Michigan Machine.
Walking_dude, and others are also fired up and ready to go. Let me know if I can talk to your friend in Michigan, and request him to join us and come to the meeting.
Junky, welcome to the chapter.... I will add you to the confirmed list for the meeting on 20th October.

Thanks Sheela.
I got a relief. So since I ma on EAD and on I-485 status is it ok to take a break for 3 months and then start the next job. So this break will not affect my status right.
Yes, that is right. On EAD you can stay in-between-jobs

If you file today it will be past october when you have to choose between EB2 and EB3 (I485 stage for EB2) till that time you have both the process going on EB2 and EB3.
If you start EB2 process in October it will take 6 to 9 months to clear labor and I 140..
I wouldn't make that decision until Oct of 2008.
My personal opinion and analysis tell me that EB2 will soon get retrogressed from what it is today and the picture will not be that rosy in a couple of months.
I would wait until Oct 2008 and see what kind of visa numbers are available at that time for EB2 and EB3 and them make any decision on switching.
Again..just my opinion.

I have mailed 17 more individual signed letters to WH address this afternoon and copy of these 17 signed letters in one envelope to IV address. Good to see new date. I will continue to get as many as I can before this new date.
Collected 11 signatures during NJ trip and I guess these will go into NJ account..and 6 signatures from FL [11(NJ)+07(FL)=17]

rpatel,
I don't think it is about being optmistic or pessimistic. It is about doing best with your life. One can do better than wait for 5 or 10 years on top of what we have already done for the green card in the same position with very little salary raise.
It is not only about salary raise. In 5 or 10 years with the right attitude one could really grow into senior management psotion. Will the green card be worth it after 10 years you are still stuck in same programmer level job doing the same stuff all over again
I am in my late 20's and am going to finish my 7th year next month...you decide how many feet of water I am in..:rolleyes: Meanwhile I totally understand your argument that the situation is the most frustrating for people who have been here the longest. I'd say sharpen you swimming skills and then it wouldn't matter how deep the water is or how tall you are....I's say stick with it and endure hardship if you value the end result (GC ofcourse). Even if you decide to go back...whatever your age/experience be...never forget its never too late..Gandhi was 46 years old when he returned to India from SA after spending 22 years there..Still wasn't too late for him to start a revolution now... or was it ?:)
May be you might also want to change your handle...GCby3000 doesn't sound that optimistic

I called USCIS and she said based on the information she got from his authorities, she said all the 485 application packets will be rejected with a note saying that , please apply after oct 1st if your PD is current.
I also asked her if you dont send us back by oct 1st what sould we do, she said if I dont receive by August mid, then take infopass and go to local uscis office and request for my application back.
I think all the customer service agents are aware of the issue and got informed what to answer for our questions.
That's a relief because I called them a few times recently and found myself having to explain "the issue" to the customer service rep. Ridiculous to have something as major as this happen and they don't properly educate their Customer service department on it.

[QUOTE=gapala;328433]The H1B visa belongs, in effect, to the company that sponsors it. You cannot work for any other company on that visa other than sponsor. If this is a transfer, then, In a so-called "visa transfer" what actually happens is that the initial visa is cancelled in favor of another one issued for the new employer. What that means is OP's work with old employer is considered as "unauthorized work". Do not consider this as illegal presence, as his legal presence is controlled by a valid I-94.
The above underlined text is not correct. When USCIS approve a new peition ( call it transfer if you would like to although....) they do not cancel the old unless the employer who owns that petition sends a request to USCIS to cancel it. :)

1) Yes, the positive was that the attorney was very helpful in answering the Qs in detail with several follow up questions face-to-face.
2) The members we had never met before who boldly allowed me to video tape their introductions. And committed to being more 'Active'.
3) New member brought two items for the future garage sale. Now seeing that nobody else had acted upon that request, it will probably give him an impression that the next time something is asked of members, it is not to be taken seriously, right? sorry to go into the negative again.
I wouldn't call anyone coward, it is a very strong word. No one would like to be called that. But I definitely saw a lack of commitment or 'proactive' (I dont want to sound like your manager :)) attitude.

I'm all for IV!! This is the only organization fighting on behalf of those stuck in GC retrogression. There are some anti-immigrants who come to this website, sign up under Indian identities, and try their darnest best to bog down the efforts....

USCIS has absolutely no info about labor till the employer files a I-140 with a certified copy of LC. I would seriously doubt if that's the case, unless your old employer filed the I-140 using the 2004 labor and the I-140 was approved.
For your own good, you should get things corrected....the short term excitement may lead to more trouble later...just my 2 cents.
No its I-485 I just cut and pasted the two emails I received, first at 10am then the second at 3 pm check online and the system had same messages. If its true I am having a party wow man thanks I did come to US in 1997. I do have a labor which was approved under RIR PD date 2004 but the employer refused to file I-140. Then again filed PERM in 2007 under EB2 and filed I-140/I-485 based on this PERM

I wanted to attend but I have pretty much exhausted all my vacation. 2 more days will be pushing it.
Also, the flight schedules to fly from Portland Oregon to D.C is so ridiculous that it takes a whole day away in flying.
Will definetely attend a rally in the east coast, or better yet will help organize one.
Hey zerocomplexity & jay75:
We flew from Seattle on friday mrng at 5:30 am. Had a 5 hours lay over at LA. We wanted to be present & it was worth all the pains....
And also must mention, there were 60+ people from CA too...

Its not over till its over :), and its not over yet by any means. I am willing to wait and fight ;) . Everyone has priorities in life, each person would view GC situation differently. For me, its not the ultimate dream, but just a vehicle to continue my journey for some more time (with peace of mind). I am definitely looking to gray my hair in my home country or atleast be there once I am grayed haired :D
Doing an MBA/PMI and looking for managerial job is the only realistic possibility for most, I don't think most people would wanna still be programming when they turn 40/45 (depending on how old/young you feel).
My gut feel is that there will be some kind of relief by end of 2007 or early 2008

Get copies of your 140 approval and labor filing papers. Look for a job and transfer h1b , you will get 3 years transfer/extension based on yiour approved 140.
Once you settle down in your new job, apply for new Labor in PERM (preferably EB2) , and you can port your earlier priority date.
Yes, thats true. I was wrong in mentioning April 2008. You might get a new H1 for 3 years based on approved I-140
