Based on this poll, anybody with PD of Jun2002 onwards should consider Porting to EB2.
Any thoughts?

I don't think I agree completely. I called all of the lawmakers for the CHC campaign, and while you are right, I spoke to the assistants, they were all polite and promised to pass on the message, which is what matters in the end.
Lawmakers know that we do not have voting privileges yet, but they also know that we are contributing to this economy far greater than many. I do not remember the source or the thread, but this question was asked before about an online petition, but ironically, that is shown to be not as effective as phone calls.
If you ask me to sign a piece of paper, I might do it even if I am only vaguely supportive of the idea. But I will certainly not take the trouble to call (or better yet) go to the senator/congressman's office and present my case in person unless I really beleive in it.
regarding your "saar.. support the bill..." comment, I would not go there if I were you. Thats a whole different can of worms and borders on an insult to a) people who are not from that part of India (or for that matter the world) and b) more importantly, for people from that part of the world who are in this country since a long time and have taken the pains to lose the accent.
Finally, even if one speaks in an accent, is that the sole reason for a lawmaker to disregard him? Then should a Tennessee senator not listen to someone from New York because the New yorker speaks English in a New York accent?
Please remember IV may be largely Indian, but it is a meeting place for legal immigrants from all over the world. The same way as India may be "largely Hindu" but it is still a secular country and we have had many great citizens and leaders that were not Hindu, the current president notwithstanding.

seems like the chairman is kinda careless just saying "the ayes have it". He must be a megatron fan.
Man, I gave you a green just for the Megatron reference!
By the way, wasn't it Starscream who says "The ayes have it" before dumping them out in space :)

Today 10/16/2007 there is another update. Why is USCIS looking at my old H1B approved in August 2003 for an employer I left in 2004? I am perplexed!
Again today there is an LUD (10/15/2007) on the below quoted H1B petition. What is going? The status remains approval notice sent, however.

Guys,
How about start or finish the rally with US National Anthem ?
This will get a lot of attention. Above all it will show 'Legal Immigrants' different + communicate a lot.
Also encourage to get more American friends.
You can have a beer after the rally !
Good Luck.
This is a perfectly Gandhian idea:-) (He did that in South Africa)
Let's do it... the beer part should be postponed to some other time... presumably after all categories become C:-)

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
Dear IV Members,
If you believe that your success depends on your immigration process - whether it's the ability to file I-485 earlier or to get green-card and citizenship sooner or whether it's the ability of your spouse to work - then you have to believe that your success somehow depends on the success of Immigration voice and these 170 volunteers in DC next week.
As you may know, we are just one more week away from hosting Advocacy day in Washington DC where about 170 members of Immigration Voice will conduct nearly 250 meetings with offices of Senators and Congressmen. Such events cost money. If we have enough contributions, we can spend as per our budget of nearly $ 50,000. If not, we will have to cut back on the event spending and reduce the magnitude and size of the event.
If you are not coming to DC next week, please do your part and contribute funds to Immigration Voice. It not only finances the event properly, it instills pride and confidence in the members who will be there in DC that there are thousands of willing supporters behind them who could not be there physically but are 100% with them in their determination and resolve.

I agree .. no risk no reward!
I'm itching to finish my 6 months on EAD to change job..
Using H1B makes one safe. but how many years we want to do the safe job. If I-485 gets denied do u have enough patiences to file another green card. One thing is believe is "We are here to make money, most of us are in our thirties and we have short time remaining to reach our goals. I think we all have one year EAD. wait for 6 months then go on job hopping, learn whatever you can, get into whatever you want. Start a business, do something.... Anything you do will help you in future. Sitting with H1B in pocket may take 4 years cream of your life.
If you have the talent you can get great salaries anywhere in the world. Because of your talents and hard work you guys are here. World is not small.

I believe it was last year(not sure exactly) when USCIS started this new initiative where the AILA members can send an email and "Remind" them that a particular case is current. Basically you will send an email with the subject
EB I-485/SEPT or EB I-485/OCT or EB I-485/DEC (Month of the VB when you will be current)
and the body will have just the A #s
A123456789, A987654321
Note if you have multiple A#s (self, spouse etc) seperate it by comma.
send it to
streamline.tsc@dhs.gov OR streamline.nsc@dhs.gov
You will get an automated reply with in minutes
I not sure whether this works...but hey who cares all that you are doing is sending an email.
OR the lawyer has to send this email...very trivial question but I did not get that from your post. Thanks for sending this along...I dont know if many of us knew. Thanks again.

Yes it applies for IV too. We have a handful of monthly subscribers because everyone wants the other person to pay for it. If the problem needs to be solved, each victim needs to fight this problem.
Do let us know the outcome of your complaint.
Please also inform others how you went about making this complaint.
I have not been able to get even one personal friend participate in IV or donate to IV though they are enjoying AC21 benefits and work done by IV. Whenever I speak about IV they get angry and discourage further talk. They talk about EAD traacking, etc.... but are tight lipped when we talk about IV. Some stopped talking to me and say "it is because of IV" . Some say, "we do not believe in IV" but hideously visit IV website anonymously. It is nothing but hypocracy.

Why will it move PDs faster than now? Thanks.
could it be that ppl will not be able to sneak in with pre-approved labor now? if there is a significant number doing that, the PDs will move faster. Congrats IV on this achievement!

Hi Friends,
I checked my status and havent received any Soft LUD, but I received a FP notice couple of days back. I am not sure what this is for..My PD is Dec 2006 (EB3) and I received EAD/AP/I140 approved. I applied concurrently during the july fiasco and already done with FP on 2007 itself.
Now i am surprised why I need to , go for FP again. I am still in H1 and my EAD is expired and havent renewed.
Can anyone shed some light in to this FP notice ???
Cheers
John
Your 485 application belongs to which service center?

desi - from your posts - you always seem to look at things from all sides and your perspectives and views tend to look like "perfect law in perfect world"
Not sure if you are a lawyer or you have a lot of insight into things, but in real world, even lawmaking is unique and vague. Courts and judges go by how best the case is presented and how and in what angle it can be viewed from and how similar things were dealt with in past.
Litigation experts also look at the psychological aspect of stuff. what I want to say is, the entire process of litigation is a huge animal and we can never judge or assess that.
One of my cousin sister is a criminal lawyer in India and when we get to hear the inside scoop of how stuff is handled in courts you will be surprised that your common knowledge about the law is just not good enough.
There are a lot of factors that go into the so caled legal world and mere book knowledge may not be sufficient.
Your views are good, but they definitely are "bookish" in nature.
I am not a lawyer, however I have been studying immigration laws for couple of years. I have gone thru manay AAO and BIA decisions to understand the laws and more important, their current interpretation.
One can learn a lot what arguments staffing companies have put in when their I-129 (H1-B) and I-140 petitions are denied.
My views may be *bookish*, but they are based on lot of experience behind them.
BTW, I work full time for Fortune-50 company (Finance area).

I guess the confusion about the future employer being unable to extend the H1 after one enters on AP may have come a couple of responses on Murthy's forum:
http://www.murthy.com/chatlogs/ch071006_P.html
Chat User : I changed jobs. H1B transfer was approved in the U.S. (no visa stamp). Can I keep H-1 status if using AP to travel?
Attorney Murthy : A person may reenter on the AP status and is legally allowed to extend H1B status after that in the U.S. but cannot be on H1B status if the person entered as a parolee. A person has to enter on the H1B status to be in H1B status but is allowed to file an H1B extension if s/he continues to work for the H1B sponsoring employer.
Chat User : Informative website, Murthyji. Thanks for the service. Once the EAD is approved, what do you have to do to change from H1B to EAD? Is approval status on the USCIS WebSite enough or do we have to receive it?
Attorney Murthy : A person has to receive the EAD in order to work for a new employer on the EAD. Merely having an approval notice or seeing the approval status on the USCIS WebSite is not sufficient to be able to work legally on the EAD. A person does not need to do anything to switch from H1B to EAD. Merely by working for another employer on an EAD, a person is deemed to abandon the H1B status and opt for the EAD, unless the person requests the new employer to file an H1B petition extension with the new employer, in which case a person maintains both statuses at the same time, which is legally permissible. Only after travel abroad and reentering the U.S., a person has to choose to enter as a parolee or on H1B status, but, then, as stated above, one may revert to H1B status by filing an H1B extension even if one enters as a parolee, if one is still working for the same H1B employer.
