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
IV already has this as part of the letters campaign. Everyone worried about recession, lay-off etc. must support IV campaign with full vigor.

I spoke with USCIS again this morning and this time got hold of a more helping IO. She said it should not pose a problem and NBC should be able to approve I-765 and I131 from their end it self. Also my future employer's immigration team also said it should not pose a problem.
I am still concerned and I shared my concerns with future employer. They graciously agreed to transfer the H1 which is a much safer bet now.
I have done couple of H1 transfers in the past. But this is the first with AOS pending and I-140 approved. Is there any thing different or gotchas that gurus want to share.

This is the sort of thing that should make folks wake up and smell the coffee. Advocate for yourself or lose the dream. Those of you hoping to wait it out, whether it be 5 yrs or 10 yrs, let this be the warning shot. When times get tough, you see all sorts of crazy things crop up, whether intended by the gov't or through vigilante enforcement like in this case.
What makes EAD holders immune to these sorts of things? Nothing is certain in this environment.
Physicians recently faced a scare(last year) when the USCIS TSC unilaterally started deeming MBBS degrees undergraduate baccalaureate degrees and declining EB2 petitions for them in spite of nearly half a century of precedent to the contrary. This in spite of the ECFMG, ACGME, State Medical boards(vested with the task of determining qualification to practice) etc all recognizing such foreign degrees for Medical/Surgical Residency training and subsequent practice.
It was only after months of lobbying and various letters of support from medical organisations, and meetings with the USCIS by some prominent lawyers like Greg, that they relented.
If that can happen out of the blue to International physicians typically working in underserved areas. Then those of you who feel an EAD card makes you immune are living in a fantasy. Take a stand, organize better and advocate for yourself. There will likely be a narrow window later this year for us, there must be a better effort.
BTW. It took a friend of mine 7 months recently to get his EAD card. No explanation, no nothing. He did not push the issue because he was on a H1b visa, however those are the sort of things that can happen.

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?

Basically, there are lot of people on the other site, who don't want to join IV but participate:) They think that they might be accidentally causing a benefit to IV by joining IV:)
This seems strange...no reason you cant be a part of more than one organization
and what kind of benefit as we talking about here?
are they also EB immigrants with the same Goal....do they have other different goals?
They want to come help with advocating...but do not want to benefit us...so they want to benefit us by helping out but they don't want to officially be seen as benefiting us?? lol seems like a weird funny paradox :D
Maybe they can help with logistical support n let IV deal with the actual talking to senators part

In a publicly traded company, it is almost impossible for one individual to siphon money.
I guess what might have happened here is, Satyam might have faced falling revenues year-on-year. In a sector, where each competitor is reporting 40% profits, to keep upto the performance of sector, they might have been pressured to falsify their revenues.
Now what i am unable to understand is, how come an esteemed audit org like PWC could cover up or fail to findout discrepancies. Either the auditors were stupid and overlooked, or Mr Ramalinga Raju covered up the tracks very well.
In the end it all hurts the stock holders and the employees. This one is going to go down big time in our history, and i bet its going to change the landscape of our IT services sector.

I am also trying to stay afloat through the very debatable AC21 process. Currently, my case is being handled by Ron Gotcher and I have been very happy with all the help and support so far. Not to mention, they are really reasonable.
Thanks for sharing. I don't think AC21 is very debatable as I have seen ppl used AC21 and currently holding GC without any unwanted issues.
BTW When did you assigned your case to him? is it very recently?

Question...see below in bold
The issue is that my company lawyer said that there will be a need for a visa stamping done for the extension because of the Last action rule. The murthy forum reference is something I dug up via google.
Because the extension will be for a future date (March 1).
-- Question: Is this extension based on I-140 is different than the extension you get for the second 3 year out of 6 year? If not, then why I-94 can not be given date adding the extension of 3 year ?
Current visa stamp is till Feb 28, 2007. So if the officer gives a new I-94 with Feb 28, 2007 as the validity date, the attorneys claim that it will invalidate the approved extension due to a "Last Action Rule".
It is hard to trust these corporate lawyers.

Thank you very much for valuable answer. I appreciate LazyCIS, pmb76 and sam. Then I will wait till 180 days to go.
Just to clarify, Do I need to look / take jobs only permanent after 180 days?
Thank you,
Mani
Take a permanent job which is "same or similar" to the one in the underlying LC.

If you have a 3 year H1 extension (like I do now) you can get a stamping for 3 years and wont get tied up in AP extension filing etc. With the flood of applicants in July I think USCIS is going to take much longer to process AP/EAD and I am expecting periods between APs where I would be stuck, unable to travel. With a 3 year H1 stamp all those issues go away.
Traveling on AP also has the funny effect that your I-94 would be stamped to the expiry of the AP (1 year) rather than H1 (3 years) and I dont know what happens when that I-94 expires... H1 travel is simpler once you have a long lasting H1 stamp. Main advantage of AP is I can renew without leaving the country and if my I-485 ever gets approved when I am outside the country, I can re-enter (my H1 would be invalid at that point)
Thanks, that explains. I realized only couple of weeks back that i didn't need AP since my H1 stamping is valid until 2008 end and hopefully my GC will be approved by then. Anyway now i have backup since my AP also got approved yday.
btw, i read somewhere here that when your AP I-94 is about to expire you ammend that with your H1 so you will have the H1 expiry date.

yes. there is a possibility of some retrogression for EB2 India/China in the comming bulletins. But that is just for few months and it might be a mild retrogression as long as there is horizontal fall outs of spill over visas.
"possibility of retrogression"???? thats sounding like a weather forecast. :)
lets have a specific prediction here. Can you pick an year and month for EB2-India for the October 2008 Visa Bulletin (start of new fiscal year)?
Ron Gotcher believes EB2-India will be somewhere at 2002/2003.

When there are so much negative opinion, instead of chasing this avenue, let us all focus on what is tangible (such as connecting with media and building up public support). If by chance he goes against the legal immigration too, then we burn candle from both ends. The risk is not worth it.
