Infighting is sad.
Just a food for thought - say items non related to immigration are removed by the admin from the IV website. The person who's thread is deleted, will get ticked off. What are the chances that they will act against IV? maybe this fear of losing some support is keeping the admin from removing all non-related posts? Or it could also be the amount of time and effort necessary to regularly 'clean up'.

You can file appeal your I-140 denial and based on the appeal, you can get your 9th year extension. As long as appeal is filed and pending, you can extend your H1B. This is what I heard.

Yep, few states consider long time residents as out-of-state /international students if they are in any other status than that of GC/Citizen. I live in MN and Univ. of Minnesota considers me as international student though I have lived in this state for more than 2 years and have been in this country for 10 years.

Pappu, Thanks for the same..
I am wondering if people go with the lawsuit route..will USCIS create an interpretation of the rule that..180 days STARTING FROM the date the PD was current...
With that said..I am not sure if May VB will retrogess ? / Remain same ?/ Move forward...in the end its too much volatility on their part and THEY SUCK as an organization...
Sorry for the hardlined words here, but i am sure many people stuck in the mess especially from old PD's - who first got stuck in the BEC mess and are now left nowhere due to the fiascos that they create...sheesh...

which category do u belong to EB1/2/3, which country, what ur PD.
based on that i can tell u whether u should keep ur username as optimystic or change it to "pessimystic"
As another member already indicated , I already mentioned my PD, country and EB category in my post.
Anyway, I had already waited 7 years in the GC process before recently coming across this forum and choosing this handle name when joining. Guess you could say that I was prepared to dig in and stay for the long haul if required which is why I chose that handle name. A few ups and downs/ forwards & backwards (even if in years !) in the priority dates won't deter me much now :).
Although, I could just be drunk with euphoria of my PD becoming current in March and blabbering away pompously. So don't you steal that login (pessimystic) away from me ! I reserve the right to choose it if and when I feel so :)

I understand that your intention is to get heard. I appreciate your effort at writing letter. However writing to the president will not help us much. Here is why:
In the USA, infact for that matter in most democracies, Laws are made by elected representatives unless it is an executive order to grant an immediate relief.
The composition and powers of the House and the Senate are established in Article One of the Constitution. The major power of the House is to pass federal legislation that affects the entire country, although its bills must also be passed by the Senate and further agreed to by the President before becoming law (unless both the House and Senate re-pass the legislation with a two-thirds majority in each chamber). The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at no more than 435.[1] (United States congressional apportionment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_apportionment))
So, In our case, the president at the most can sympathise with our cause and the hardships we face because of the limbo, But he cannot really help until there is a bill that passes both the house and the senate.
So, Can I suggest that it will be even more worthwhile if you contact your congressman/woman and go meet them. We need them to understand our plight and anguish.
We all need to go meet our lawmakers, educate them.
They already are educated. Do you think they do not know about us?
They fully know about us. But they will not help us because we are not voters and cannot contribute.
A better idea is to have our employers contact them. People working in large companies can do this. I am surprised why the big companies have not taken up this issue for us. Why cannot we have big companies issues statements in our favor?

What do you think we should expect from a president who is "socially conservative" and "fiscally liberal".
I expected Obama to be another FDR, but I now feel he is very far from being FDR.
FDR had 8 years & over 55 years after his presidency to make his impression today..... u r judging obama with his first 2 years of his presidency....... where is fairness here?
previous administration created this situation where the economic cycle had literally stopped..... people were not spending money, banks were not giving loan, companies were not expanding/hiring, companies were laying off causing unemployment..... in such times economy needs fusion of cash so that there is enough money in rotation for the economy to continue before customers return and the economic cycle is back on track...... bush (as seen in the video), McCain or any other person would have done the exact same thing becoz there is no other way...... the only other option of not doing anything would have ended up with the country in economic depression....... then u would have blame obama for creating economic depression......
lets talk @ "fiscally liberal"..... darling of the right wing, george bush.... started two wars..... spending over 2 trillion dollars, gave 1.4 trillion dollar tax-cuts to the top 1% who are rich..... this is around $3.5 trillion dollars of unpaid spending taking this country into massive national debt...... and now u r blaming obama for being "fiscally liberal".....
this world would stop if it were for the ideologues..... "fiscally liberal" is just one idea which works during specific times, it doesn't work all the time...... but the situation obama inherited "fiscally liberal" was the need of the hour, otherwise we would all be in economic depression..... today people have the luxury of being an ideologues becoz this country is not in economic depression...... but wasn't it "fiscally conservative" republicans who led the country to the economic depression by spending their way to verge of collapse..... y blame obama for being "fiscally liberal"?
@ social issues, he has so much on his plate & his focus is economy...... but he has shown leadership on gitmo, don't ask don't tell, stem cell research etc..... in his first two years....... don't hang by his neck....... give this guy a chance......
after 2 years of bush presidency... if people would say anything about bush.... they were branded as unpatriotic...... now with 100 times worst situation at hand.... u'll not give this guy a chance but rather throw dirt all over.......

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
There were doctors in my area who did not ask for appointments. I got my medicals done by walk-in. It means you have to wait, but you can decide wen to go instead of an appointment. Call all doctros within a certain radius and see if anyone will accept walk-ins.

Basically to retain the PD you should have the copy of the I-140 approved and you could retain the PD. Having said that, different lawyers have different interpretations when you switch jobs and retain the PD. Basicallly some lawyers say you could retain the PD even if your old employer uses it for another person after revoking yours, while others say you can't retain PD if your old employer revokes your I-140. However if your old employer willn't revoke your I-140 then you could definetely port your PD with your new employer. If you employer is hesitant to give, you could try asking him other ways if possible for H1B stamping etc.
If a person has a copy of 140 approval, can he/she port the PD even
if the employer revoke it?
thanks

I guess when it comes to GC processing, NOTHING is really "wrong" is it? If you get a chance to work around and beat the long lines, I guess "It's all good". Some people are lucky that they get a chance to get Labor Sub, some ppl marry the GC and some ppl like the rest of us wait in line like "honest citizens".
The REAL question is, just how many of us would have refused a good labour sub, given the present conditions, solely on the basis that "it is unfair to others"? I know i would have taken it. Reason? It's LEGAL (or used to be). Our "misfortune" (if i can use that word), is that we did not get a similar chance.
For those wondering, what I am babbling about: "Let's not look down on this guy who got his GC approved by Labour Sub, or even continuously point out that he did."
Fellas, I exactly understand your pain you feel when you see a person like me with Labor Substutute ending GC journey in 3 years.
I know my words are not going to change your opinion or make your pain feel less but be rest assured that i had gone thro same agony and distress as you during this immigration process for past 10 years. I entered USA as F1 in Aug/1997. I had been legally working (ResearchAssistant/OPT/H1) eversince. Before that I had 3 years of experiance in top indian company as an engineeer. Many of my Batch mates have received their GCs 4-5 years ago. So logically i should have got my GC then since i had alredy busted by B*** enough so that USA economy gets benefitted.
I coulnnt get GC because i was late in applying. Are you going to now say that simply because i was late in applying to GC, my efforts put in job for my employer are worthless to get an immigrant benefit?
I put the same point to my employer who rightfully agrreed with it and helped me with a labour substitute. I am sure if you had a valid case , a genuine USAbased employer would have done the same to you.
Anyways, I belive all of those who had applied GC after July VB will get their cards within next 6 months due to economics of situation. USA is on the verge of reccession right now lead by crappy housing market. The USA government does understand that EB based immigrants do have a (lot of) money and if they pump that money in USA economy , the recession could be avoided/be less severe. Also Conservative Bush administration people ( lIke Attorney General Alberto Gonzales) are resigning and are being replaced by less fanatic administrators. So (artificial) crapy things like Namecheck can not be cooked anymore. This will result in many many apporvals. Trust me no one can ask feds if thay give millions of GCs to legal immigrants (Off course the converse is not true- yaa the VB scenario) so expect your approval soon.
Thanks you, Wish you all hte best and Good Bye.
BTW , i have also contributed $100 to IV so far.

:mad: 12/11/2006: USCIS Considers Termination of Concurrent Filing (140/485)
According to the USCIS rule-making agenda, the USCIS is to propose to terminate current concurrent I-140 and I-485 filing. The proposed rule is scheduled to be published in March 2007 with 60-day comment period. It is thus not imminent, but in the later part of next year(Oops!), the immigrant community may see a totally different filing procedure including electronic registration and filing just like current PERM labor certificaiton application procedure. Once the concurrent filing is terminated, the immigrants may experience a terrible pain as related to maintenance of nonimmigrant status pending I-140 petition, eligibility for 245K benefit, plus unavailability of EAD and AP pending I-140 petition, AC-21 180-day portability, etc. etc. Should the I-140 petition processing be dragged, the pain will be extremely unbearable!

Employee is responsible for the accuracy of the time sheet submitted for payroll. If Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company pays you and we did not get the money from the client, he/she are responsible to reimburse Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company all the amount that is under dispute within 5 business days. Employee is responsible for all the legal and administrative costs (attorney, collections etc) for enforcing the above terms. All disputes will be settled according to the laws of the sate of NJ.
Are you serious you want to sign something with that wording. If the employer and client have their own agreements (like delay of payment for 60 days or so), then you will be always struck with your employer until the end of this project.
This is unacceptable.
One of my friends had an agreement like this and they threatened to cancel H1B if he did not sign. Make sure you have your transfer papers ready if they take that extreme step

Doctors have played a pivotal role in the last few days in getting things done for us.
Ethnic diversity is desirable but not always easy to achieve and if the organization can achieve its goals with groups without ethnic diversity, what's the harm? After all, we are here to achieve the goals and diversity is not the only way that can be achieved.
So please be thankful to Doctors of AAPI who have much bigger and powerful organization AAPI - both in terms of money and clout - and have decided to endorse our effort and help us.
I would kindly request folks to be careful when posting comments as we dont want to neglect or even appear to neglect our supporters.
By the way, we have tried to get a couple of best selling authors on the competitiveness topics but we could not get them to come on the advisory board. We did get endorsements from two of them though - Richard Florida and David Heenan.

Hi
I am in 7th year of H1b now..last time my h1b was renewed dates were until April 2008. I went to india in Dec 2006 and came back in Jan 2007. My passport was expiring on Sept 29th 2007 so Immigration officer dated my I-94 until sept 29th 2007 and told me same thing that you can go to any port of entery or international airport and meet USCIS officer and extend your I-94 with your new passport. I waited until last moment and around sept 24th I went to USCIS officer on airport as well as on Port of Entry (called Deffered Inspection site). Both places got answer you need to file extention online because we only correct mistakes and this is not a mistake but it was case of passport expiration. I called my lawyer, my hr, my company lawyer. Everyone told me I cant work after 29th sept as my i-94 is expiring. Thats same as your H1 expiring. SO either leave country and comeback with new stamping or file new h1b. I ended up filing new H1b as i had only couple of days left before my I-94 would have expired. I have filed I-485 and ead and my I-140 is pending. My pd is Dec 2003. As per my lawyer I want be out of status as mY I-485 is pending but I will loose eligibility to work as I wont have any work authorization once my I-94 expires and dont have EAD approved on my hand. I hope this helps you.

There was life before green card. There is life after green card. And then there will be a realization afterwards that greencard is nothning but an official identification of a person that is willing to be a slave to the American System and then going to india and acting as a VIP .
Your value will always be equal to shit in this system and when you go to India what you earn here is shit compared to what you are losing by staying here.
Dont act desperate. if you get a green card let them give it you . Dont beg for it. they need you and dont act like you are on your knees swearing to do anything for a greencard.Otherwise we will all be like dirty who.... s
