Glad to have been of assistance and happy that the IV core played the greatest part in getting the story out. Lets keep our eyes and ears open as we look out for more opportunities. There is a potential opportunity from this article shared by gonecrazyonh4 : http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=9627&postcount=321
I looked around the site and found out that the misleading article was an op-ed and that the paper actually has someone dedicated to immigration issues. I found the following info, it might be worth following up as part of telling the other side of the story and correcting misperceptions that may have been created :

The only diff b/w these illegals vs legals is education. These illegals r uneducated and dont fear law and can go to any extent as opposed to legals who're well educated. At the same time, the Tri-valley situation brings to the fore the credibility of educated indians too!!! All those students came to US "legally" but started violating the law from the word GO by working at Gas stations, Mc Donalds etc...to make ends meet. Infact some even got in very well knowing that it was not completely legal as the guy from the university who was bringing ppl was a desi who worked for the university and forged fake documents for the students.
Overall, the Indian immigrant's image is at stake right now and this might lead to enforcing new laws against legal immigrants (read scrutiny, queries etc...)

Mine rec date is july 2nd and notice date july 27th. Have got EAD, but not AP yet. Though I noticed two LUDs on my AP, 10/24 and 10/25
I received mine on Nov 3 and my ND is Sep 8.The surprising thing is my AP was approved & mailed out on Oct 31 based on LUD whereas on the AP it is Oct 10 (expires on Oct 9,2008 )which means I received the AP for 11 months and not for a yr.
See my signature for more details.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965
Eventually this bill introduced that 7% per country cap
Here is the proof that country cap is racially motivated. I can't believe that Ted Kennedy was behind this.
During debate on the Senate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate) floor, Kennedy, speaking of the effects of the act, said, "First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.... The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965#cite_note-1) The act's supporters not only claimed the law would not change America's ethnic makeup, but that such a change was not desirable.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965#cite_note-.2770s_268-0)

If u want to, you can apply for H1 extension as ur labor is more than year old. You will get one year h1-b extension, as ur I-140 is not approved yet. With approved I-140 u would get 3 year extension

great news.
new important points:
1."Also under discussion is whether green cards that have gone unused in previous years could be used this year. As a result, one possible scenario is that the number of high-skilled workers who gain permanent residency in the U.S. this year could swell to more than twice the historical level. "They've got to do something," says one congressional staffer close to the discussions. "
2."Perhaps the most acute pressure on the Bush Administration is coming from Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.),...the last thing the Administration wants is for the details of the "bureaucratic, nightmarish snafu" to become public"
Just hoping that by some miracle tomorrows news is even better than expected.
BTW its the title of the article which says its all "The Gandhi Protests Pay Off". Please note its not something like "Govt yields under threat of law suits and immigrants protests"
the celebration of point 1) above gets contradicted by the passimistic fact written at the end of same article : :(
(((But that idea may face long odds. AILA's Kuck says that current law prohibits green cards from one year to be used in other years. And he thinks there is no appetite in either Congress or the White House for writing new pro-immigration legislation, after the comprehensive immigration reform proposal went down in flames earlier this summer. "I don't think they'd touch the issue with a 10-foot pole," says Kuck. "This issue has become radioactive." )))

hello;
Here are my details.
1. currently in 8th yr extn on orig H1( h1 extn is there until mar 2010); 140 approved in march 2007
2. filed 485 in june 07, got AP/ead in oct 07 ( eb3, apr 2003)
3. became eligible for ac21 in jan 2008
4. so far not yet used AP or ead
the qn is -->
1. if i use ac21 , can i have the new company transfer my H1? (even tho im past the 6 yr original limit)
2. first join the new company using EAD, then ask them to apply for H1 transfer. will this work?
3. if the new company doesnt sponsor my H1, then does that mean i will never be able to marry a girl from india and get her here on dependent visa (h4) before my GC approval.
4. pple who use EAD and chg jobs, is there any way in which they can get to add a spouse as a derivative 485 appln before the GC gets approved.
can you give ur opinion regd the above qns? thanks
The important question you have is about marrying girl?
Stay in h1b and get your spouse h4 after marriage.
When you do not have h1b there is no way to bring her.
I hope there are lot of questions in your message and they are answered in lot of places in this website. Please go through.

I chanced upon this c-span program on Saturday and called in to ask Rep Ed Royce about legal migrants. Listen to my question in the last two minutes of the broadcast.

"class of admission" -when you enter USA last time what class POE officer admitted you. This can be different from your "current status-H1B". Therefore you should write F1.
There is no fee difference for single entry & multiple entry.

I'm in the US working on L1 visa, though I have an expired visa, I have I94 valid until Jun 2008 which makes me legal to work here until Jun 2008. Now, I'm planning to travel to India, Do I need transit visa in France if I travel via france.
What on earth makes you legal to work with an expired Visa?

Thanks guys for your replies. My employer has more than 100 consultants and I think it is a stable financially. I never had any problems in my salary. I was paid on time always.
So you mean after appeal they can approve my I140?
I do not know my PD. But my labor was filed sometime in Dec 2006.

No insurance here covers pre-existing conditions. sorry... Others can correct me, but only india network plan covers emergency conditions that arise from pre-existing conditions.. at least better than nothing. Hence, plan accordingly. You can still get expensive plans with a better coverage but still they don't cover any pre-existing conditions. Regarding normal situations, one of my friends had good experience with them for one of the claims.. pls note, i have nothing to do with them and not a PR for them.
if you shop more, you should get a comprehensive plan that covers everything but will be interesting to see how affordable it will be..
hope this helps, good luck.

Here is the short version of how it unfolded. I've seen some quick responses from USCIS.
9/15/2010 - USCIS email indicating that cards mailed for both me and spouse
9/16/2010 - Spouse received card
9/21/2010 - Got email (LUD) that my card returned undelivered.
9/22/2010 - Called customer service updated the address
9/23/2010 - Got my card in mail (wrapped in an usps priority envelope) with tracking number
I was pleasantly surprised with the fastness of USCIS.
Thanks,
Yes we got the card after a month.
It went to a place where we never lived not sure how it went there.
Anyway we didnt get the notices yet.
Just the card.

Hi
Recently we went for interview and they requested a PCC for my wife since her finger prints were non classiable. So i have contacted my local city police and they have requested to contact the nj state police. The nj state police has requested a fill out a form with all the details anf they took the finger prints. my question is since the finger prints taken were non classifiable earlier how are these FP's taken by the state police going to help them. do i have to do anything else? has any one been in the same situation?
thanks
