Lets not hope for results just act. If Gandhi could drive Britishers out of India using this approach, USCIS is also made of human people and sure they will do something to lessen our pains.
The British were a bit smarter;). Here we have problems explaining to the average American (which include the officials of our Senators and Congressmen), the difference between h1B and Green card. Everytime I send a fax to the Senator regarding the Green Card, i get a reply about how they do or do not support H1Bs.
In this whole flower sending campaign, we want the message to be LOUD AND CLEAR. Gandhigiri alone did not drive the British out of India and even if it did, let us not forget in that case the British were on Indian soil, here we are doing Gandhigiri in another country ON THEIR SOIL!!

here's my explanation why i think retrogression will get worse -
1) USCIS still has not entered all the july and aug. filers. USCIS will have a good idea by Oct or Nov. how many applications are in the pipeline, how many they can approve and what the PD cut off date needs to be?
You are just repeating yourself. Show me the logic why entering all apps will retrogress the PD?
Let me give a concrete example. For India EB2, why would the PD not move from, say, April 2004 to January 2005, even if, say, 20 million people with priority date at 2006 apply for I485?
Understand the procedure first. With a better idea of applications in pipeline, you will see the PD movement to be better predicted, not retrogression.
2) with the number of applications that were filed this it is obvious that ROW will see retrogression in both EB2 and EB3 categories.
Why is it obvious? Show me the logic man!! Instead of just stating it. If ROW was current till now on some category, everybody who were supposed to file would have filed. Why would it get retrogressed. You understand that only the unused ROW numbers trickle over ot India/China etc.
So, you are saying you don't have a logic. You are speculating and saying only time will prove you right? Eh?

Looks like you are also a candidate with three year bachelors degree and a namesake masters from US univ that you bought and which put you in EB2.
Legit EB2 = GRE (good Score) + Toefl (good score) + Fulltime MS/MBA + Job in forture 500
I am not sure what a job in "forture 500" means :) but there are tonns of people, with no US degree, working for "fortune" 100 companies like MS, GE etc .
Further to that, many reputed US university, including many of the state schools, offer Part time Masters course which per you is not legit.
As I said earlier, I challenge you -- say in black and white whether a part time or online MBA from a school like University of Massachusetts or University of Nebraska is legit or not.
Let's see if you have the guts
Not legit EB2
1. 3 year degree from India + initial application in EB3 that is later converted into eb2 by buying a masters from some shady roadside univ in the US.
So you mean that US Accredition agencies grant accreditation to "shady roadside University" . Why don't you complain to the authorities ? Or are you scared that your lies will take you to court ?
2. bachelors + 5 years experience from some software company in hyderabad, as most people from there have at least 10 years software exerience even if they graduated 4 years ago.
Why don't you point to specific cases .
I am sure you fall in one of the two later categories.
I do not fall in either of thse categories but I know for sure that you have failed to get ANY education after wasting truckload of your parent's money in a Tier 3 university.

It may make sense for you, I am not completely aware of the situation in India. I agree that the situation with GC is bad for EB3 India, but I think there are plenty of opportunities here as well. Just do not base your decision on emotions, keep your cool...

Gurus,
Need your valuable advice on this serious issue. Involved in shoplifting case, got arrested and plead guilty. Served the community service, and paid fine. Got the �Court Disposition Document� which states that I am all clear. My status is I-485 pending and have EAD, AP documents.
1. Is it safe to travel to India and come back on AP?
2. What are the possible chances that visa officer may not let me into the USA?
3. Do I need to carry any letters from my criminal attorney explaining the situation?
4. Any one in similar situation, please update me on this?
5. Please list of documents I need to carry during my travel
Please reply and post your valuable opinions/suggestions/advices.
Appreciate all your inputs.
Have a nice day!!!
Thank you,

Think of the case status website as the moon, and this little distraction of a poetry session as clouds.
This one is from the famous Japanese Haiku master Matsuo Basho. Hope it mollifies all those who complain that this site is becoming too India-centric.

The AP is truly an amazing conundrum. I will try to clarify.
1. When AP is filed, you need to be in the US. No if's and but's about that.
2. If AP is used at the border for entry, it DOES NOT invalidate your H1. Only using EAD to switch jobs does that.
3. Lets assume you have an AP valid till Jan 1. You apply for new AP on Oct 1. However, you need to travel on Dec 25. Now there are two scenarios:
3a) you return on Dec 30 - you can use your old AP as it is still valid. The fact that you have applied for a new AP and left the country DOES NOT abandon your new AP because your old AP is still valid.
3b) You return on Jan 3 - You need to have the new AP in hand.
If there are any more questions on AP, please feel free to PM me :)
Thanks

maybe we need to have a counter on the main page...
which shows member strength..
don't worry, the republican minority in the house has no power whatsoever. A simple majority is what it takes to pass a bill in the house and the Dems have more than a simple majority (50% + 1).
Only the senators can call for a fillibuster.

Hello Everyone,
I am back again. This forum is outstanding when it comes to reliable information....
I work for a reputed US Consulting firm. They under-pay you and make you over work. They market fake resumes in a polished way. YES... IT is TRUE. Don't just blame the desi consultants.
I am on a EAD. I wanted to switch to hourly basis and wanted to see if there are any direct vendors who would be ready to pay better rates. Desi Consulting Co. is out of question. From my experience, Robert Half is bad too. Is there a better way to market yourself..to the employer?
Any help will be appreciated. !!

Chandu, my question is not whether HR dept can handle it properly or not.
My intention/question here is if an applicant is on H1 (most of the cases 5th or 6th yr of H1) and then loose the job and until he finds other job (has EAD but never used it) the applicant does not have payroll running during the break. then technically is he ok or does he has to maintain h1 status or does EAD protect him.
Coz until he finds a job and files for AC21 an applicant does not do any thing.
And what do you mean by satisfy AC21 criteria. unless you find a job you cannot file AC21....so during the gap (what is the status of this gap?...technically I am trying to find an answer. please point me to a link or document. If you are aware of it, else can IV find an answer to it)
"f you lost job on h1b and satisfy AC21 criteria then you are in pending AOS state and use EAD to work."
Chandu, thanks for at least answering my question.
Good luck for you!
EAD IS NOT A STATUS. EAD is given because you filed 485 and you are pending AOS, so you are permitted to stay till a decision has been made

it might seem like eb2 has moved.. and it has from last month...but this is where we were at in april 2006 (may2006 bulletin -1st jan 2003) before the dates stagnated for a cupl of months, became unavailable and finally moved backwards in october.
so basically no movement for 7 months.

Infopass appt for Interim EAD was not helpful at all.
They suggested the same that I did earlier, ie to fax USCIS hotline about my situation along with letter from emp saying that I am at risk of losing job.
I have done that several times, still no luck.
My EAD expires on aug 30th (yah, just 2 more business days).
Did everything in my hands, now just prepared to lose my job.
Surprising thing is I saw 2 soft LUDs on aug 25th and and 26th but still no approval nor RFE, case status still pending.
I know they are looking at my case, but doing nothing.
My wife's EAD was approved a month ago.
I asked my lawyer (from a big firm) if I will have a case on USCIS in case if I lose my job. She said, USCIS is famous for this kind of processing for 1000's still the cases wont stand against them.
I wld appreciate any suggestions/thoughts?
Efiled @ NSC on may 19th.
FP on july 3rd, still no approval.
My current EAD expires Aug 30th.
1) Requested expedited processing via phone.
Received email saying to wait for next 30 days.
2) Called NSC, agent gave a fax number and asked me to provide Emp letter.
Faxed the Emp letter and also a covering letter.
3) 2 weeks passed, still no reply, called up NSC again, explained situation that I wld lose my job if i dont get EAD extension by this month end. She opened a Expedited request and told me to wait for 10 days.
4) As a back up, I also took infopass appoint for next monday (90 days will be over by then)
Believe me, its not easy going thru these phases.
I do not know how to reach my congressman/senator, Anyone here, pls let me know. I am from fremont, CA.
Regards.

Thanks for coming forward to help this cause. Your contribution, words of support and enthusiasm helps everybody to maintain higher level of motivation which is so important for this kind of volunteer effort . Thank You.
We also need more active members in Miami as it is a huge city. Would you like to take up the responsibility to post the flyers in Chinese/Indian/Philipino stores or other places where people from these or other immigrant community gathers? Or maybe simply send out emails to send the same message to your friends. It is ok if there is any constraint.
Again, Thanks for your support.

LOA...means I am still employed without benefits ...at my old company.
what you said makes sense..this is how I am looking at it
-join new company
-donot send in ac 21 paperwork
-if i have rfe send in paperwork from present employer which will only be a generic letter----(i don't know how much detail uscis likes)
-the reason i want to do LOA is that this way i will be sure they will not revoke i -140
-what do the gurus feel ?
BTW--gave u green --thanks for the reply
In my opinion if you choose to use EAD, I think you will be very much fine with this route but with H1 transfer it will be tricky. You may have to go through 2 H1 transfer to come up clean legally. First H1 transfer to new employer and second H1 transfer to old employer again As you did not work for old employer for one yerar and hence no pay stubs and hence technically H1 dies there and so if old employer is willing "to hire again after one year" your old employer should file new h1 transfer and then you can come clean.
And during all this juggling make 2 things sure.
- You do not get promotion
- You do not get more than reasonable (10-20%) increment in the salary (The slary which was mentioned in your labor application)
Again before juggling consult the lawyer first.
