I want to thank this european who got his greencard 2 weeks back but still attended the rally. There may be more heroes like this. I was in a group of people when we spoke to him, didnt catch his name as i was encouraging bypassers to honk their cars to support our cause.
He is over 6 foot, in immigration voice t-shirt and blue jeans. He is swedish...Please share his name if anybody knows....

It does not matter if you work for fortune 500. There could still be fraud or suspecion. Read Indian IT cos face US visa fraud woes - Corporate News - livemint.com (http://www.livemint.com/2011/04/11164715/indian-it-cos-face-us-visa-fra.html)
There has been years if not decades of abuse of US visa by most IT consulting/services companies. Eventually it reached epidemic proportions and eventually we are seeing a massive crackdown.

Thanks. One question, I may not have asked it properly:

Yes. GC is always for future employment.
What I had (mis-) understood till date was: there were 2 ways for employment based GC: 1) if I was outside US all along, and the employer applied my employment based GC for future employment, and 2) if I was working in US for the employer and he applied for my EB2 GC based on the job that I was offered and was working on.
I understood that I was in the (2) category, and was wondering if my employer could switch my GC processing (Labor/I-140 approved) to the (1) type. Is this possible?
I might have got mixed up with the Consular Processing vs AoS, but from what I read, those terms would really come into picture only after the 485 stage, isn't it?

actually, it's not a bad system, at least in India when you pay a bribe things get done. In a crazy way its probably more efficient.
here you have no choice, stuck in the line with no way out.
And premium processing is nothing but an official bribe, to expedite your case. But it's an organized system of bribes: first you pay PP for H1-b, then PP for LC (aka Perm, since atty fees are much higher than for RIR), then PP for I-140, but at each stage you pay a bribe and get stuck in another long line at the next stage. Only way out is by paying another bribe.
So, in the final analysis, which country is more corrupt?
India does bribes on a small scale, at lower levels of authority. US does it officially thru the govt!
Money talks in every country, and frankly I dont mind paying the price for faster service, now if only they would introduce bribes for I-485.
I am sorry, but I have to heartily disagree with this. Bribing is one of the reasons that India is backward. Don't forget that India has millions who don't get enough to eat or drink, and also has some of the poorest people in the world. Massive corruption has helped creat a situation like that. Whenever a person takes or gives a bribe, it is like robbing someone of what they should be earning. When you pay a bribe, you are in a big or small way contributing to poverty.
Also, I don't consider the premimum processing fee to be a bribe. The money they get is used to pay salaries to their employees legally.
I have no doubt that the US is less corrupt, and I am glad it is this way!!!
I guess different people may have different takes on this, and this is mine.

You dont have to do anything. Just sit and watch the fun with USCIS. They will come up with solutions and get it passed with congress and they know better than any one else that they are in trouble without solutions. Lots of LAWSUITS will follow in next few months if they dont do their job on time.
If I interpret correctly you are saying because USCIS will not like to work on so many EADs and APs year after year AND SO they themselves will seek increase in annual GC numbers to clear up the mess. I wish your predictions would turn out to be true.:)
However, if enough EB GC numbers are not available, USCIS can not be repsonsibe for this. They have corrected the one mistake they did with the visa bulletin fiasco. I don't see any other basis for additional lawsuits.

When you join a medical residency on J1 visa, you are subject to 2 years home residency requirement (HRR) before you can apply for green card. What that means i s you have to go back tou your country for 2 years BEFORE you are eligible for any other kind of visa or change in status. You wont be be able to apply for i-485/EAD/ green card even if your husband gets his in the meantime if HRR is not satisfied
The ONLY way to get around the HRR is to sign a contract to work in an medically underserved area for 3 years (on H1b). Once your 3 years are over, you can then apply for GC by what ever means, work or family.
Overall doing residency on J1 is easier as you dont need to clear USMLE step 3, there are more opprtunities as more programs offer J1 positions. Also, if you want to do fellowship, there are more programs in all specialities which will offer J1, not H1. Also, you dont pay medicare or social security tax on J1 which means more money. On the other hand after completing your residency/fellowship you will have less job opportunitis as you will have to find an employer who falls in a geographically underserved area. PM me if you need any more info.

Don't mistake what I'm saying. No question the day will come. Just talking about today and the very near future. Today we have to transmit via phone lines at most all venues. The servers at the bureaus and the newspapers have capacity and time constraints as well. Reviewing, editing, captioning and transmitting 3-4 images in 15-20 minutes is a rat race now. On the other end, photo editors are on time constraints as well. There was nothing shortsighted in what I said. I said 4 mp is needed now for that kind of work, and that's why it's there. Down the road things will change. But we're not down the road yet.
I don't doubt what you say on iota and I've heard stories from the Day in the life of africa talking about the abilities of digital. But I also know the ability of this world to adapt and grow. Today people ay complain about file size but who knows tomorrow. And what about when thos same PJ's want that image for other form factors than may require greater resolution? It's an evolving world and its pretty short sided to believe that a certain file size is all that will be used.

This is also key for people having questions about travel on AP:
AILA requests that USCIS confirm in a policy memorandum that an individual whose application for adjustment of status remains pending is lawfully present in the United States regardless of the fact that the individuals advance parole related Form I-94 may have expired.
Response: No unlawful presence begins to accrue upon the expiration of an I-94 where the subject of the I-94 has an I-485 properly pending before USCIS.
We will review whether your concerns warrant clarification in the form of a policy memorandum.

This should not impact legal immigrants. Legal immigrants always will have some valid documents like Visa or I94 or EAD. So what is the problem in this? The point number 2 may create some issues but generally none of H1b people will be impacted.
I knew that slowly the antis are gaining more and more strength as a result the noose is getting tighter and tighter around us (and will eventually reach our neck). I didn�t expect this fast:
Texas change in driver�s license laws in last 6 months:
1) We knew that instead of the usual 6 years expiry date, they now want to see proof of visa documents and the expiry date is set to the expiry of the visa document.
2) If visa document is expiring less than 6 months, then we CANNOT get a drivers license.
Driver�s license laws - Latest Changes:
1) The driver�s license that all non-citizens will get will be Vertical and NOT the usual horizontal. This license looks very different than the conventional Texas DL and it also has to ominous word �temporary visitor�. I was okay with word being mentioned, but making the drivers license look so different from normal (vertical and not horizontal is taking it too far). I am worried about possible discrimination everywhere wherein we show our IDs.
2) Chance of Address not possible online: Previously, its only during license renewal, you had to get that new unique non-citizen card. Now, they are not allowing even change of address online! The website says, we don�t qualify for change of address online as well. This means that even for change of address, we have to go to the DL office and surrender of our old good unexpired DLs.
Any inputs? Texans? Others? What have been your experiences? In other states, can you change your address online without any hassle?

I am already actively participating in all the event for "Filing 485 when PD is not current" in immigarationvoice ...
I sent my contribution amount for IV's April month washington campaign also ...
I understand 221g is an action to prevent fraud. But at the same time consular officer should give a chance to prove visa applicant's point at the time of interview. In my case I had most of the docs at the time of interview, Why don't they accept those docs and start processing immediately, then I would have saved some 3 weeks ...
Moreover, Not all ther employer will hold your position, If your case is taken long period for approval. They have to run their business ...
So I would expect DOS should change the way of handling 221g cases. Right now It's too lenghty and more confused ...
It is hard to say dont loose hope but really thats the best option possible anyways. Is your family also affected or are they back here in the US? Your son is in which grade? If he is back with you in India it might be best to inform his school about the delay. Hopefully you will hear great news soon so keep the faith. Best..

I made a one time contribution myself but I have a feeling that IV is going away from the goal of increasing EB visas and just focusing on the 485 filing.Many people that have contributed earlier feel that by prioritizing the 485 filing over increase of EB visas, IV has gone away from atleast some of stakeholders .The stakeholders were promised initially that increase of EB visas would be a top priority or atleast on a even keel with any other objectives, but now we are in phased approach.I have talked to lot of people and the feeling is same.

Some Observations from DOS on India EB-2 Unavailability
Cite as "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 08011461 (posted Jan. 14, 2008)"
On January 10, 2007, AILA Liaison contacted Charlie Oppenheim, Chief of Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting at the State Department, to speak about the announcement of India EB-2 visa unavailability in the February 2008 Visa Bulletin. By early November, indications were that USCIS demand for India EB-2 visa numbers would place significant pressure on the overall annual limitation, leading to the decision to roll back the priority date for India EB-2 for December 2007 to 01JAN02, and for January 2008 to 01JAN00. Even with those significant retrogressions, USCIS requested almost 300 India EB-2 for December. (As an indication of the rate of demand and how close to the quarterly and annual limits usage is, the USCIS requested three India EB-2 numbers for January, all with dates prior to 01 JAN 00.) There is some possibility that India EB-2 could again become available if it appears that the demand for India EB-1 will not exceed the annual limit, but, that determination will not be able to be made until the second half of the fiscal year.
For China-mainland born EB-2, if demand remains as has been seen over the last couple of months, it is expected that the 01 JAN 03 cut-off date will hold, and it is likely that all numbers will be used within the current cut-off date.
