asking for donations is nothing wrong. After all Immigration voice is for everyone's benefit.
At the same time, keeping everything transparent is IV's duty. IV should not wait for someone to ask these details...
Yes true, and whatever $100 I'm donating is going to benefit Ivar more than me since he's current.
It looks like no one is watching the IV video posted above. The summary is:
1. IV is a non-profit, and these orgs have very strict tax laws.
2. If funds are misused, people can be put in jail and deported.
3. Complete disclosure of strategy, investments will hinder IVs ability to campaign as anti-immigrants and our opponents are looking at our strategy to quash it. This is especially true with lobbying.
4. Previous years annual reports are available.
Facebook or Google are not going to publish their daily funds usage report or they will be out of business in 1 month
The reason I'm asking for donations is - Without thousands of members donating, we cannot successfully lobby for Green card laws for us.
Its not directly going to benefit me, I'm still a long way off.
The person in the video is not me.

That is good idea to keep H1B status as much as possible. Use EAD when u have to use it.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply.
But consider the below scenarios.
- A person is on his 5th Year of H1 and his I-485 gets rejected - he can go back to H1 (Since he has 1 year left).
- A person has exhausted his 6 years (May be in his 7th year). Now his I-485 gets rejected - he cannot go back to H1 (Since he has exhausted his 6 years on H1).
Not sure if my understanding is right here

Friends,
Are we required to carry GC with us all the time ? :confused:
My attorney says we must. What if I lose it or damage it ? Can we carry a photocopy ?
Yes, the rule is to carry the original. If lost, apply for a new one. So, i preached.
I never carry it, one day one immigration officer is going to catch me and grill me.

UN,
I have strong belief on your postings. Don’t know about Berkleybee…
I am from India EB3. I strongly believe that we can change this system, after all it is human made, outdated and obviously not suitable for current scenario.
So realistically what we can do about this, if so what would be the approach.
I am relatively new to the forum and what have posted and debated by UN (Iimmigration poratl also), make sense and i believe we should not be watching visa bulletin so eagarly , contrary we should be watching what is happening the reform front.

I don't know what your circumstances are, however I would recommend that you stick around for a few more weeks before you join the new company. You have already waited this long. And like lazycis rightly said AC21 may only be invoked 180 days after 485 receipt date.
As far as job description goes, ask your new company to specify the title as Programmer analyst and provide a job description that includes "database administration" among other things specified in your Labor/I-140.
I know that it is easier said than done when things are not in your control, however we can atleast try.

The following has been extracted from H1-B is still valid with AP entry US? - Yahoo! Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071214234832AA7fOR3)
Normally, an alien who has filed for Adjustment of Status in the US must apply for Advanced Parole and use the Advanced Parole to come back to the US in order to keep his / her Adjustment of Status application pending.
H-1 and L-1 holders are the only exceptions to this rule.
Aliens in H-1B status who have a pending Adjustment of Status application do not need to apply for Advance Parole to go abroad if they fulfill certain conditions. As long as the H-1 B visa holder maintains his/her H-1 B status before leaving the U.S., he/she may apply for an H-1B visa to re-enter the U.S. to work for his / her H-1B sponsoring employer after his/her travel abroad.
When he/she comes back with a valid H-1B visa to continue to work for his/her H-1B sponsoring employer, he/she does not need to be paroled. Rather he/she can be admitted under H 1B status as long as they're still employed by the H-1B petitioner.
If they choose to be paroled, then they are not H-1B anymore, and if they had dependents, those dependents cannot be H-4's anymore. It's your choice. Use the valid visa if you're still with the petitioner or use the parole. If you are paroled into the U.S., you will need an EAD to work.

We had a discussion with our company lawyers about this. We wanted to know if it was possible to file for EB2 after a promotion. They told us the following and said we cannot change (dont know if its bs, you talk to your lawyer.)
a) EB is based on your previous job not the current one. So even when i have worked in my current company for 8 years, the current experience is not counted.
b) The new job/position should have activities more than 50% different to your previous position ( even tho i was eligible for EB2 then, i was suggested EB3, still suffering for that blunder). Unfortunately Software engineer is a position where the job activities include everybody uncle and more.
i think its a different story if you change your job, if you like your job and want to stay then there is little you can do.
Folks:
I am one of the frustrated ones under EB-3 (India) with a PD of Jul 2003. My case is as follows:
I had 3.5 years of experience + MBA from India when I joined the current Job in 2001.
I applied for my GC in 2003 and the lawyer said since my MBA was not relevant for the current job (software engineer) and since my experience before the current job was less than 5 years, I should apply EB-3.
Currently, I have 11 years of experience (out of which 7.5 is with the current employer from whom I have applied for GC) and I have moved to Business Development that uses my MBA quals.
Can I change to EB-2? What do I need to do? What are the risks?
Any/all pointers will be appreciated

may be because its government, they are asking the ability to pay :)
Sorry, just trying to lighten you up...relax dude just wait it out you should be alright. the key is to turn in as much information as possible when required. and submit the original copies wherever you can.
all the best.
also since its a govt organization, my LC juz said 4 years bachelors or equivalent. i do have a Masters from an US state university. so not sure what could be the RFE.. ability of pay is not an issue i guess, cos its govt. what other rfe's are there?

I efiled EAD and AP for my wife and myself over this weekend. My earlier documents had been filed at TSC. In answering Question 11 of EAD, I "assumed" Dallas TX Field office and USCIS TSC are one and the same. So I selected Dallas TX Field office as the answer.
When the receipts were generated for our applications they were generated for National Benefits Center with MSC as the prefix. This got me confused and I asked this question (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19323) on IV. This evening to research what is going on I started a dummy application and saw what I had done wrong. I canceled the dummy application.
I am writing this to alert anyone to not do the same mistake. I am mighty concerned. I will call USCIS tomorrow morning and ask on what will happen and where should I send me supporting documents. I will also get hold of some local attorney.
In the mean time what do you guys think of our situation. Any experiences, ideas? Please share. This will be long night :-|
hi mirchiseth, I recently applied AP to wrong location. I guess some one had the same situation while back. Do you remember how did that fixed.
Basically my case is pending at texas, but i wrongly sected missory and so my receipt number says MSC, that is what i realized that it was efiled to wrong location. Any help in this would be appreciated.
I also took infopass appointment to check, i am not sure if i get help with out getting the confirmation receipt as i efiled yesterday.

The bad news is that. You will get your green card in 5 years and after other five years you will get your citizenship. So in 10 years will be in position to get married.
Now , you will be wondering what is the good news.
Well!, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switiching to GEICO.:D

I did not have a exit date on the passport. At the border they just took my Old I-94 and let me go. But when i came in I got the admit stampted. I hope its not a issue right?
US do not stamp your passport when you leave. That is why they take your I-94 and make an entry of the date that you leave.
You are OK.

I was in your situation during my GC process. I was in EB3 queue going nowhere, but waited for couple of years. When my division sold out to a new company, I was promoted and with the new job, I could qualify for EB2. I then port it from EB3 to EB2 and with the wait really proved to be fruitful.
GC journey has lot of ups and downs like any journey in life need not get frustrated regarding this. Find various other avenues and ways to get over with it!
Thanks
