Laws are not straightforward. They are bent, mended,amended etc... based on needs.
Current need is a Mexican population vote bank and American vote bank
Amnesty to Illegals - Mexican and latino immigrants love it - vote bank
Punishing h1b - Americans love it, Indians and other immigrants who already got GCs and citizenships love it as it reduces competition and kills it, so they love it - vote bank
Doing something for h1b - Latinos wont care, Americans wont like it, Industry will lose control over h1b if h1bs start getting GCs - no vote
Increasing h1b and allowing employers to show GC carrot - employers loveeee it
Punishing h1b severly - disaster for economy - so some relaxations will be made.
Overall - our lives will improve bit by bit due to efforts of organizations like IV etc...

And did you also hand submitted $19 demand draft for the difference in new and old fee (assuming you filed $131 visa fee before June 4th)?
If yes, then were there any concerns regarding that? Please share.
The company I work for in USA has a India Office.
That office paid the exact NEW fees through HDFC.
They then couriered the HDFC receipts to my home in India.
I arrived in my city.
Went to VFS office, submitted the required doc's.
They created the courier package which is used to send the passport back.
After few days I went to the US consulate as per my scheduled appointment.
I use the VFS lounge service which helps because I had luggage etc.
It was quite a smooth process in Mumbai, except that it took 2 hours of waiting.
My 9:30 appt actually happened at 11:45.....
But yes, there were many many people who had demand draft's in their hand, either of full fees or the difference.....

Here is a link to a USCIS memo regarding errors on I-94 : http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/I94Errors033004.pdf
Note that this does not cover errors made by CBP (Customs and Border Patrol).
Here is what CBP has to say @ this link http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/i-94_instructions/arrival_departure_record.xml ->
Q: How do I correct an Arrival-Departure Record reflecting an incorrect admission classification, biographical information or period of admission?
A: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will review and issue the necessary documents to remedy errors recorded on the Arrival-Departure Record at the time of entry to the United States relating to improper non-immigrant classification, inaccurate biographical information or incorrect period of admission, if appropriate.
Any designated deferred inspection location or CBP office located within an international airport should be able to assist you, regardless of where the actual document was issued. In many instances, the location of your final destination where the discrepancy will be resolved may not be the port of your first arrival into the United States. Travelers are encouraged to contact sites not located within an international airport to establish an appointment, if necessary. Mail-in procedures are not available.
Currently, there is not an approved form to request the correction of inaccurate information recorded on the I-94 or I-95 Form at the time of entry into the United States. You will need to bring the questionable I-94 or I-95 Form and documentation to support the claim that the form was not properly annotated. For example, present a passport and visa to justify an incorrect visa classification or an approved petition to support an incorrect admission period. A fee will not be assessed.
The CBP offices within the international airports and deferred inspection locations are only authorized to correct errors that occurred at the time of arrival. Requests to replace the I-94 or I-95 Form that has been lost, stolen or mutilated must be filed with USCIS.
Authorized stays that were limited at the port of first arrival by supervisory authorization as noted on the reverse side of the I-94 Form will not be corrected. Under these circumstances, you will be required to file an I-539 Form with USCIS. .
-----------------
One finger pointing to the other ... :rolleyes:
Anyway, I am trying to contact my local airport CBP to see if anything can be done.

Are you out of your mind ? You are taking a huge risk by staying in the US and droping your Canadian PR because of some "probable" green card. What makes you think that by the time you finish school the situation will still be better in US. I hope you will not regret this but think about your family. In 3 years you and your family could be happily in BC with free health care, great weather, less stress, travel wherever and whenever you want, have your own law firm.
OR you could be a stressed H1B (a.k.a educated slave) waiting for I-140, I-485, EAD or whatever to come through.
Just because you asked, I have been in this same situation. But in my case, the decision was easy. I was on h1b making 69k. The same job in Toronto offer $55k CAD. Much less, but with my freedom to consult on the side and my wife's income we bring over $100k. We vacation in Florida for a month every year to visit friends. Life has never been better.
Whoever tells you to stay and take the risk is putting your family's hapiness in jeopardy. But the choice is yours. Just don't come here crying when CIS finds a problem with your application.
Thanks gomirage for your views as an actual Canadian resident! I have worked with several Canadians before, and while they all complained about the high taxes it seemed like they generally thought they had a better lifestyle in Canada than in the US.
However, some stuff I've been seeing on sites like notcanada.com concerns me. Is Canada really a place where it's more profitable to sit around and collect welfare than to work, assuming you can even find a job? Are Canadians more racist than Americans? Is it really hard to get by career wise and socially if you're not a native or have the appropriate connections?
I would really like to hear the views of someone having moved to Canada from the US about these issues!

My employer applied in PP and it was approved. details are give below.
Date of mailing -1/23( i presume must have used Fedex overnight)
Date of recipt/acknowledgement- 1/24
Date of approval- 2/4( online)
Date of approval email sent - 2/4
The only hitch was that they applied for 3 years extension based on 140 approval and even thougt 485 is filed the PD is not current,but got approval for 1 year only . The problem here i think is that i am completing 5 years oh H1B in feb 2008 so they extended only for 1 year till feb 2009 . Anyway that what you get when u ask your HR to file rather than have an attorney file ot handle the case. I had requested them to have an attorney handle the case but they gave me assurances that they will handle it and will do it in PP. Now i am sure they are repenting as i dont expect my GC approval for next 2 ot 3 years and now they got to shell out 1500 buck for extension every year or atleast for the next year when they retry for a 3 year extension in feb 2009.i had a word with my HR she said she is going to inquire with USCIS and discuss the case with attorney on what ground they offered one year extension and not 3 year

Having 3 years EAD/AP and ability to refile AOS (in the worst case) is the best workable solution to an economic turndown and lay-off. Having a recapture done will also help many

A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?
I think you can apply as Australina national but your priority date is dependent upon your birth country not the country of acquired citizenship. I have a friend who is an Australian citizen (born in India) and is stuck in retrogression.

As per AC21 rule, it is from Receipt. However, let's put some practicality into the matter. Some IO's interpret the rule wrongly and used Notice Date instead. So what will happen? Your GC denied for wrong reasons and you file for MTR because it was USCIS mistake. If you're willing to take the chance, then go. If not, better use Notice Date for practicality purposes and to avoid all the hassle of MTR, etc.

Yes. The malicious code did not download any virus or inject any virus in anyone's system. All it did was to redirect the user via a popup to a malicious website. Antivirus scanners pick this up as a virus alert, but it is not. It is more of an annoyance than a virus attack.
I honestly cannot vouch for the millions of hackers and script kiddies out there that this won't happen but use a good Anti-virus scanner especially if you have kids at home.

Murthy's lawyer suggested Consular processing as an option.
She explained that in Consular processing I still need continued Sponsorship from my firm, but it will revoke my 485 application. I will end up filling bunch of forms with USCI, including 824.
This was my PD will remain intact and when it becomes current, I will have to go to Indian Consulate and get Immigrant Visa from there.
IN this whole process My firm needs to continue sponsor my GC processing. Advantage is : I don't have to come and renew my EAD and AP every year.

i hope we wake up and realize that we are all in this together. When i met with my congressmans assistant, i had boasted that we were 25+ members and had more than 300 in his district... The guy was suitably impressed. When the action item to call the congressman was launched i was told that only a handful called his office. The sad part is that while people posted on the forums to get a green dot, i know some didnt call because i had followed up with the office. EB3 Vs EB2 battle had the biggest fallout on the group, those rabid discussion brought out the worst amongst us and many volunteers (including myself) stopped. We had a great opportunity during the letter writing campaign, it was the best change to resolve some of the painful issues... we all know what happened.
Most of us talk about unity till it suits us ( and i dont mean walking_dude, i am aware of the great service has done, including the fight to ammend the drivers license issue).
Instead of asking for more bread, we are fighting ferociously for the scraps like dogs!
It was estimated by Compete America that if the last CIR had passed there would have been more than 500,000 visa numbers recaptured ( don't ask me for the math, I didn't come up with this number). Assuming that the Nurses took away a chunk of it, we still would have a big chunk to statify Eb3, Eb3, ROW, India, China etc. etc. And the nurses are going to walk away with a big chunk folks - whether we like it or not - because we are fighting each other like dogs for the scraps of the spillover, while they will come up well organized and walk away with the cake.
Our disunity, lack of long-term vision, lack of action is our biggest weakness. We will not win unless we fight this together.
