As per law, one must always carry the original GC with them, like DL. You can see this instruction in 485 approval notice/welcome letter. I am doing it.

Great work Alok in getting this endorsement from AAPI and Dr Koli. This goes to prove that we are getting more and more broad based support.
IV has been endorsed by Dr Vijay N Koli, President of American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin! http://www.aapiusa.org/index.aspx
AAPI, under the able leadership of Dr Koli and its Legislative Director, Anurag Varma, have been helping us behind the scenes. With acceptance of this Advisory Role Dr Koli has chosen to formalize this relationship.
Dr Koli is an Internal Medicine physician who has been in practice for over 27 years in San Antonio, TX and who has ably led AAPI on some fresh initiatives. One of these involves AAPI formally providing expertise to the Indian Government in healthcare � this was formally acknowledged by the Prime Minister of India as one of the great initiatives at the latest Pravasi Bharatia Divas.
Our cause is strengthened by Dr Koli and AAPI & their blessings!

Being in Consulting and searching a new contract at the same place of residence (during Nov-Dec) is always a nightmare. I'm in IT industry for last 10 yrs and into consulting for last 5 yrs and always tried to keep clients Extra-Happy starting Nov 1st , so that i could get thru these 2 winter months.
Starting Mid-Jan the budgets will open up and you will surely land up.
IT Jobs are there - worst case you may need to relocate.
Congratulations on becoming a new Father. Though your name sounds as if you were the mother :). Anyway, if you got 4 interviews in 6 weeks, that sure does not look like weak economy. I remember the recession of 2001-2002. People used to get one interview in 4 months back then.

That is a good sentiment, Bkam.
Please don't mistake BerkeleyBee's post. From the point of view of the core team, many posters have ideas that seem correct to them and they post 'This is my idea, why can't we do this?'. In plain language, that translates to 'Why can't the core team do this?'.
So from my point of view - simply as someone who has been posting for a long time in Usenet, newsgroups etc - if you have a good idea, implement it yourself. E.g., if you want a webfax that thanks Senators, write the webfax and post it. Sample webfaxes are available on the website, customize it and post it. The "core team" is human. We are balancing full time jobs with the web site and it would help if people making suggestions also implemented it.
In this idea that has been posted re: educating people in other countries, that is NOT part of IV's mission. IV's mission is clear: it is social service to people that want to get a green card. It is also social service to educate prospective immigrants about the delays in the GC process. However, that is not part of IV's mission. It can be part of Bkam's and Learning01's personal missions, however.
I think the one additional thing is also that we need to using harsh terms to blame the U.S. system or Congress for our problems. Lots of people have problems, Congress has limited time to tackle everyone's problems. As someone prominent that we met said 'War on terror, injustice to immigrants.. You know what is going to win every time'. So let us keep perspective and soldier on, remember we are also getting prominent, so now is the time to present ourselves and the forum in the best light possible.

Hi Everybody, I have a question to the people who already invoked AC21? Do we need the I-485 receipt to invoke AC21 or can we use I-797C(Biometrics notice) as proof of AOS pending? My employer and employer's attorney did not agree to give me the I-485 receipt. I filed FOIA but did not get anything yet. I could file EAD and AP online and send the biometrics notice as supporting doc, received EAD and AP is pending. Does anybody know if there is any other way to get the I-485 receipt or is it really needed for AC21?

Why are you even working for such a company? You should be with a company that values your contribution and wants to keep you and cares for you, similarly you should accept GC processing from a company that you are comfortable working with.

That article is a joke and more like propaganda. It says around 58K H1Bs are issued and most of them are extension - but are they not aware the extensions are not counted towards the cap...?
The moment I read this...I have stopped reading any further.
The job is first moved by the out sourcing firm and then offered for Americans...?-
-----------------------
This is interesting information. This is the first time ever that such news has come out of Indian press. You may belittle it by calling it a joke but to me it is critical because this issue may turn into a trade issue. Call for negotiating a comprehensive services agreement is not mundane. Together with rejection of billions of dollars worth Us defense deal, this is seriously moving towards becoming a significant issue. You may want to dot the is and cross the ts but that is not how the Law makers, Senators US or Indians think about these issues. They are at 30K feet level looking at the Forest while we waste time in just going around our own trees.
To me the intent is more important than the content in the early stages. We will get to details once there is broad agreement on the issue, that is basic negotiation 101.

I took an infopass appointment on 12/13 and met with an IO. All the IO did was to e-mail the service center for FP. I now see two soft LUDs on 12/15 and 12/18 on my I-485. I don't know if these are related to the generation of FP notice or something else.

Once you got a filing a can donate a fraction to IV..
Way to goooooooooooooooooooooooo....
I am on H-1B and wife on H-4. We did not get our stimulus payment last year since she does not have SSN.
For people who did not receive stimulus payment last year can claim it this year. So for people like me whose wives are on ITIN, can get $600 back this year or so I think. The way to do this can be:
First file Married filing separately, claim $600 credit and then amend it to file married filing jointly. IRS will not ask stimulus back. Let me know your thoughts on this idea. I wish I could get $1200 but hey even $600 is better than nothing.
Any thoughts??

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.

We never heard about Employer-Employee relationship before 2010.

[From the pdf link]
On January 3, 2008, the director denied the petition.
....
....
AAO must determine whether the petitioner has established that it will have "an employer-employee relationship with respect to employees under this part, as indicated by the fact that it may hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the work of any such employee
....
....
Upon review, the AAO concurs with the director's decision. The record is not persuasive in establishing that the petitioner or any of its clients will have an employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary.

You should read that RonGothers thread - he is strongly of the opinion that maintaining H1B status while AOS is pending is useless. Moreover, it seems like USCIS can revoke your remaining H1B when they deny AOS application basically kicking you out of the country immediately. Now as a practical matter, I don't think they are doing that anyway. So guys, once you burn up your 6 year H1B, there is no real strong cushion if 485 gets denied. To heck with these laws. Stupid and irritating.
...and the confusion regarding this rule continues :)

Please stop posting stories and anecdotes about philosophical things like money versus family, etc. etc.
That is a sociological topic not immigration one. A person making his choice to try to settle here in USA or in India has nothing to do with this website. This website is for people who have already made a conscious decision to try to settle down here and obtain the Greencard asap which is the first step in that direction.
Making a choice between USA and India is something you have to do before you decide to contribute or join this organization.
Thanks for understanding and please discontinue posting on this thread.
