How bad it can be for those with approved I-140?
Earlier it was 140K times 7% = 9800 with everybody and now it is 90K times 10% = 9000 with most of them gone into new merit based system.
I still don't get it?
Good Point! this is actually more visas for same number of folks. Approved or soon-to-be-approved I-140 folks (like me) will get GC on time or faster and others with Maters degree will get GC in 1 or 2 years, and rest must have got admission to MS by now. and there will be some loophole to bank on which will be realized by our stupid Joe after a few years.

What is your PD and EB category. This discussion won't go anywhere without that information. Raj3078/anybody,
Let's say, I am not able to do that. But, do you suspect that they might APPROVE my 485 BEFORE my PD gets current? If they don't then, I am in no trouble, isn't that right? If they don't approve, then, I can add her into AOS when my PD gets current again assuming I don't file for EAD (I won't - I like my employer for now).

No matter which person we will go with, I think that we need to verify person's story before congress testimony. Not that I do not trust people, but we need to make sure that every detail is accurate; otherwise we risk of being called "liars" by the numbersusa. If we could obtain any documented proof of achievements and demonstrate the documentation to the congress, which will carry some additional weight...
Just my 2 cents.

I would only say "Hang On", or move on if you can. A lot of people in same situations, never want to discuss issues openly.
Patience does help, and maybe all the good is stored for future.
Most important is how you deal with stress associated with racial slurs, difference in treatment, and all the above issues. This has direct impact on health and many people in these conditions are victims of stress.
The h1b - GC situation is well known to everyone and they know you are indentured, some managers are called problem solvers (they pretend to hear ur voice, help you from their side and get the work done and try to ease pressure off you if they have an option), whereas some managers are called problem creators (they add additional pressure on you and make u miserable so that they get the work done). The reason companies support their American workers who involve in racial slurs is to avoid issues. It is easy to kick you out and blame you rather than catering to ur problem.
I agree with you totally. Being patient is a good way to take this. I have seen this happening at my work place too. But until we get GC we have to learn to handle this. We are 16 desi's in my company and my managers says that many "co-workers" are jealous as it seems that we are taking their jobs
etc.
I hope this CIR passes and I get EAD and I shall try to leave as soon as possible.

I don't think USCIS takes into consideration whether the MS is full time / Part time / distance learning. On the degree certificates no University mention's if the program was full time or online. Also i don't think USCIS goes by the reputation of university. As far as Accreditation is concerned please check with education evaluators they might be of help but then again I don't think USCIS looks for accredited programs. I say so because there are lot of local schools which are not accredited but have good reputations locally.
As far as career growth is concerned after MS that's a separate topic altogether..

Any link between being a "legal immigrant" and getting jumped by a bunch of thugs and being killed while trying to resist?
I agree - these are things that have to be taken very seriously.
I am also hearing that desi houses are being targeted in New Jersey as ZDesis have jewelery in houses.

not to be pessimistic, nov 3 is really close and I am thinking it may not happen. Here is what i have done and am planning to do..my recd date is july 30th and my travel agent is nov 21st.
1) already expedited the cases by phone.
2) just faxed the letter to local congressman.
3) have an infopass appt for the end of the month.
4) have a letter ready for the ombudsman, will send it right away after the infopass appt.
Doing all this, i am still not sure if I can make it to this trip or lose $1800 by cancelling my tickets.
Me too !! My ticket were for Nov 3 and i am waiting for the last 54 days ..just requested USICS to expediate the AP based on financial loss ...

I agree, we need to make a pitch.
Simple math can easily prove most EB3s will NOT get the GCs even in 20 years. And I'm sure the concerned may want to modify it so as to make it more efficient.
Isnt it a shame that a greencard holder cannot get his wife immediately wheras H1s and others can. They have to be told very loudly. If we get used to this, then yes, there is no problem. I'm very sure immigration debate will come up in 2-3 months or later. Then 500,000 legals are nothing compared to 12 million. So lets make a strong case and educate people.. Thats my only point which some differ with me and dont want to act..
If it will be shot down, so be it, but lets make the case stronger by doing all that we can.

Can you quote how this is addressing number 1 ?
AC 21 allows people to take on new positions as soon as they get H1 transfer receipt notice. How does this law address H1 transfer?
1) AC21 is used for H1B Transfer AND
2) AC21 is use for EAD (485 phase) Job change
This bill is addressing number 1 above NOT number 2. The above scenarios reflect the current system not the future merit based or whatever else. I am assuming a case where an applicant continues under the old system.
If anyone disagrees please substantiate.

sending flowers did work for us.
You mean to say sell US real estate for GC/citizenship? I don't see this going very far. I can see anti immigrants waiting for this one. Best is to lobby using aides of big corporations, developing relationship with lobbyists who already have connections, hiring lawyers, developing strong case, donations in election campaigns etc. All of this needs loads and loads of money. Are we ready to donate to IV and build strong lobbying group for our cause? That is the only way to change our current situation.
Sending flowers, sending pizzas, sending all these proposals will only fall on deaf years. Congress understands language of money to pass laws, Rest of the country/orgranizations understand language of laws/court.

I filed my I485/EAD/AP on August 7, 2007. Does this mean that I do not have to pay any fee for EAD renewal now ?
The instructions say this -
Special Instructions :
If you filed a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, on July 30, 2007, or after, then no fee is required to file a request for employment authorization on Form I-765. You may file the I-765 concurrently with your I-485, or you may submit the I-765 at a later date. If you file Form I-765 separately, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of an I-485.
Yes if u paid using the new HUGE fees, then u dont have to pay.
Thats the reason they increased the fees. So you have to pay only once.
As per my lawyer "DO AS WHAT THEY SAY IN INSTRUCTIONS" and always keep a copy of everything sent, including postage receipts, delivery confirmation etc.

Bottomline is they do not want to give us Greencard just use us and fool us. I am sure this 485 being current is big melodramatic thing.
And it is only 1 year of filing I-485 ( can i take comfort that many others have been stuck 2 year, 3 year etc ). ANother reason why visa numbers got wasted is that many fellas got stuck in namecheck ( Ask many of the Indian/Chinese/Russian folks ).
I don't what crappy way they use to separate good from bad.

Pending cases = EB + Family + Refugee + Asylum + ... = Backlogged cases + Unripe cases = 1,275,795 (page 11) + 1,316,740 (Figure 1, page 14) = 2,592,535 (as of March 2007)
What is an unripe case?
even if the application or petition were approved today, a benefit could not be conferred for months or years to come. (page 11)
cases that do not have an available visa or an FBI name check, and cases that are in suspense for other reasons deemed beyond USCIS’ control (page 12)
There will be severe consequences from rapid fluctuations in priority dates.
If the priority date became current today, due to delayed USCIS processing and thus underutilization of visa numbers, some have predicted that within a few months as many as 500,000 to 750,000 individuals now residing in the United States under a temporary worker visa could apply for a green card.
Additionally, DOL’s recent backlog elimination efforts, scheduled to be completed by September 30, 2007, are predicted to add 70,000 or more approved labor certifications yielding as many as 170,000 additional green card applications.
As USCIS begins to complete these applications and request visa numbers from DOS, the 140,000 statutorily authorized visa numbers will be used. DOS then will be required to retrogress priority dates.
Consequently, most applicants in this scenario will find themselves trapped whereas they anticipated timely receipt of a green card, their wait exceeds seven or more years.
In addition, all future employment-based green card applicants effectively would be barred from applying for many years.

Gandhiji has a kind of magic, which can't describe in words. I don't agree with a logic that people wanted good leader and they accepted him without question.
At that time, returning British viceroy always advising incoming viceroy not to personally meet Mr. Gandhi, otherwise he will emotionally trap you. He had real magical power.
Gandhi was a great man no questions, he had the all the intellectual, personal and spiritual qualities required to lead the nation. With those qualities alone, he could not have convenced more than half a dozen people. The nation at that time was in need of a leader like him. When they found the right man, the followed without questions.
