I logged in this morning to get a regular update and came across this thread.
I am surprised to this discussion and the heated debate. Tides and Ebbs are a part of what we do. I think we must all be satisfied that we have IV to represent us. Think about it guys, we would have no voice if it were not for IV. I sincerely hope something comes out of all this efforts that all of us have put in. We have a good thing going here and lets not stop.
Even if nothing happens, I will be content that we have made efforts. Not just a tiny efforts but a big ones. Kudos to everyone who is contributing ideas and money. Keep the good work going and let us know what we have to do to help you all.

If my priority date is retrogressed at the time of processing my EAD and AP, will USCIS keep the EAD and AP on hold? Or will they process EAD and AP and hold the I485?
They will send your application back to you.Maybe some experts can opine on this

The way i see it, they've asked for past emp letter with tax forms and some w2s.
None of those would indicate that you were on the bench.
The emp letter should basically just indicate your dates for employment - start/end date, designation, duties and perhaps salary. that's all.
Yes, they asked just employment letters, W2's and tax returns. Thank you.

does this mean that i cannot get a 3 yr extension based on approved I-140 pp? My labor is not pending for 365 days and so I am solely depending on I-140 approval for a 3 yr extension. I am filing i-140 and i-485 concurrently before July 5...will this give me an EAD option even if 140 takes longer to get approved?
This only applies to pending or new 140s; if you have a approved 140 it does not affect you.
One could get a 3 year extension on the basis of a approved 140 only if the PD is not current; since the PD will be current starting July, you'll get only a 1 year extension.

the reason it will never work is not the lawyers. the immig lawyers for the most part are honest people.
the problem is the employers. employee's loss is employer's gain. it is simple enough. if the point based immigrant is allowed in with a EAD or a green card (like in canada/australia), the employers lose out big time.
The only reason h1 exists is because employers want cheap labour. That is why they want more h1s. Because h1s are justified from business point of view, that is why it is illegal to charge the employee for the h1 costs.
But they never talk about how the h1s get screwed.
Because the h1s are screwed by them.
no matter what , H1 are for employers for them to be competitive, how come all of a sudden employers are talking about illigal immigrants these days, because they have found out that they can get them at a very cheaper rates, the moment you try to put wage garuntee in any of the immigration bills, this what kenndy wants, republicans run by big business are not longer interested in the immigration. perfect example of modern day enslavery. if they make 400K H1B's as per the strive ACT, Green card will lose much of its significance, because most employers will find easy to hire H1B raher than paying 20% or 30% higher to somebody on green card, that is the reason employers are after H1B.

Compare passing of bill with statusquo. Which is better?
Main changes are legalization of illegal immigration , point system,H1b increase with restriction and slight increase of immigration and reduction of family based immigration. If any of these need big changes bill is in trouble and CIR is years away. If no CIR no relief for legal also. This bill with minor amendment is much better than statsuquo
Yep!! This bill is really bad.
It bleeds us dry.
It bleeds the H1B program dry.
It is evident that the proponents of this bill want it that way.
Apparently the proponents see us as negative impactors to the US economy
Apparently the proponents see the business community that use the H1B program as not "Pro-American".
This is the beginning of protectionism.
This is the beginning of isolationism.
This is the beginning of blunting of America's competitiveness.
The proponents of this bill must go back to school to study rich European nations and find out why they do not have vibrant economy like US has.
And the proponents of this bill must go back to school to know what makes US unique and vibrant.
After this if they still remain proponents, then GOD SAVE US!!!!!

Ya know what? I am so SICK AND TIRED of our lawmakers bowing down to those illegals, who don't contribute anything to our society. That's right, NOTHING. They steal the jobs that Americans WANT to do, and our lawmakers just bend over and lick their boots!
I married an Indian here on H1-B and it's been two years since we've filed for his greencard. Do you think we've heard anything yet? Only thing we know for sure is that we are getting shafted for following the letter of the law while Elvira (vampire) arellano is sitting up in that pile of crap called a church, with politicians like Barack Obama slobbering all over her. Where are these same politicos when we FOLLOW the law??
Yes I am plenty angry over the whole mess, but what I really wonder is why don't we (the TRUE immigrant families) do the same as the illegals and go out and PROTEST this new amnesty?? Could it be we are too busy working and contributing to society?
Either way, I think we had better get out and do some protesting of our own. After all, illegals are ALIENS, NOT IMMIGRANTS. How dare they steal our Immigrant moniker from us!

Thanks everyone for writing to the editor
I got an e mail from customer service this morning stating they had forwarded my letter to upper management.
It(this issue) definitely got to their attention loud and clear, and hopefully it will have an impact of both sensitizing them to this separation in the future as well as prompting them to give our issue more coverage going forward. Perhaps I am being optimistic here, but one can only hope.

sure prove me wrong.
If you are telling me that VO or IO has access to all criminal records from all 51 states, i can't stop laughing here.
If they have access, why do they even have a section for declaring voluntarily?? to test honesty of the applicant??
Lots of things have changed since 9/11. Browse immigration.com for peoples postings over the last seven years and find some articles written by attornies and deportation cases.
Before your flight even takes off; the passenger manifest is sent to Department of Homeland Security. They run it against every database they have. Before, you land they already know whether you have a criminal record (expunged or not); you have a warrant or are on a terror watch list.
There were some high profile cases where department of homeland security received the information late and had the plane diverted to Canada and had passenger removed who was on such list. I even believe Cat Stevens was denied entry after his plane left England. I think the plane had to stop in Nova Scotia and they wouldn't let him back onto the plane.
I have known people who had shoplifting record in California that was expunged. When they went for visa stamping they answered that they hadn't been arrested (chennai consulate). Visa officer already had the information and confronted person with it. Person explained that since it was expunged; their criminal attorney told them they didn't need to declare such things. Person had to get the court/arrest records to show consulate (Person is on h-1b and has US citizen child (for what it's worth). Don't know if person was able to come back here.
In local office interviews; people have been asked if they have criminal record (I/O's basically ask every question again on 485 and g-325a; just to see if person is telling the truth (they already know the answer). Person replied no and USCIS officer stated that was not the information they had and confronted the person with the record.
Every time someone opens up a bank account, brokerage account, etc.; their name gets sent to Washington DC and checked against terrorist watch lists under the anti money laundering rules which I believe came into effect in 2002. Why is that relevant.
I know of two people. One lady who after she got EAD/AP was awaiting local office interview. She went to India and came back to USA. At the border; CBP asked her if she owned any company. Before, she could answer they named the company. In her passport, they made annotation of possible immigration fraud and sent her for deferred inspection to local CBP office. Lucky for her she had opened up the company after she got EAD and CBP allowed her in and eventually she got greencard (she opened up the company and had husband contracting through the company).
Another person I know; he had H-1b and was working for some motels (he specifically told me he did IT work and wasn't working as a clerk and the company was a holding company with many motels). His case was transferred to local office. Local office called him and stated they wanted him to come to office next day. When he went they asked him why he was listed as an account signatory on the motels bank account. They thought he wasn't doing h-1b work and was doing unauthorized work.
Both of the above cases I know intimately. They both got on radar of USCIS because of the anti money laundering rules and their names came up against the databases that USCIS checks and they decided to start further investigating.
This is one of the reasons that these background checks take so long. There is a lot more they do other then check to see if you are a terrorist.
Department of Homeland Security has access to a lot of information that they didn't have before.

1)Now a days AP renewal is taking 6 months
Which service center? Guys, is this the normal trend? I guess the processing times webpage is showing ~ 3 months.
It looks like not many people are applying for AP renewals, this is simply my observation based on traffic on this topic in IV.

The following are various ways to express some one�s dissatisfaction/agony and draw some one else (Government/Media/Public) attention.
1. Daily Fasting : One or more people would sit for fasting from 6 AM to 6 PM. One group would pass on the fire to next group.
2. Continuous Fasting : One or more people would sit for fasting 24 hours a day. Such people should not have health issues like Blood Pressure, Gastric Trouble, Sugar, insulin deficiency, Heart relates issues. This may cuase arrest.
3. Protesting : Conduct a rally with group/mass of people with immigration ply cards and banners.
4. Wearing Black Ribbons : People would wear/put a small black ribbon on their shirt pockets (Upper left side of the chest) and attend duties. We can draw people attentions. Such ribbon should have white color immigration slogan printed on it.
5. Distributing Flyers : Distributing Flyers/Handouts to people in respective areas.
6. Banners : Display banner/show outs in the Traffic Island Medians
7. Flower Campaign : Sending Flowers to respective people, also called Gandhi giri.
8. Silent Sitting : Sitting in front of USCIS silently (no talk).
9. Silent sitting in front of Senators house: Group of people should sit (kind of protest) in front of respective state senators. We can draw maximum MEDIA attention.
10. Sweeping Roads : A group of people would sweep roads by wearing immigration slogans jackets.
11. Organize Blood Donate Drives : Interested member would donate blood (We should explain to media, why we are doing so).
12. Rally in All Major Cities : Conduct a rally in all Major cities (where we have at least 100 members) at the same time.
We still have various other ways to express our dissatisfaction, however, they are little rude and could cause more issues.
We should choose couple of ways from above to express our dissatisfaction. Members, feel free to add and delete from above list.
P.S: We need prior permission from local authorities
Looks like we have to some thing big at this Christmas season.
I am sure most of us here (especially from India) were pampered and did not even clean their own study desks or rooms of their house when they were young, now they are ready to sweep the roads of a foreign country to get the foreign government attention to get their gc :)
Humans, listen, life is not 1000 years, it is very short, dont waste the best part of your life waiting for gc.

Whenever an attempt to increase visa numbers is made a budget point of order can usually be made. So, you will need 60 votes to amend the law.
"Before every one starts to bash Hillary : this is what someone on IV posted regarding Senate floor Amendment 2339... and now it sort of makes sense:"
Not really. Senators voted against this because they opposed the underlying amendment. The Democratic opposition stems from the facts that the amendment proposed to re-capture from all categories and then re-distribute accordingly to a Republican preference. For instance EB-3, numbers re-captured didn't all go to EB-3. The amendment gave 61,000 to Schedule A and then re-distributed the rest equally.
A much fairer, simpler and permanent solution is to simply rollover the unused numbers to next years numbers.
I believe there is around 300,000 unused visas from previous years. Even if 61,000 visas are gone to Schedule A, we would have got the remaining 240,000 visas. Imagine they are not even ready to pass the amendment which gives relief to Schedule A(extremely shortage workers) as well as employment catagories, think about the chances if the amendment stands only for employment catagories.

Two of my friends relocated to India since the beginning of this year after spending 8-9 years and they had green cards too from 2004.
These guys had good jobs with a good pay but options in India were just much better to ignore.
Just food for thought for people who think that only in US can we make or break our life and careers. There are other places on Earth too where people live and be happy.
