I appreciate both you guys for keeping this discussion so clean and issue based. I was little worried on my first post that someone might spin it personal. Kudos to your mature responses.
Yes, I honestly think that quantity matters in meeting politicians. What is so clear to us may not be clear to them. Not because they are lesser mortals than us, they have a different perspective. Why and How is entirely not up to me to worry about. Someone has a different view and I can only respect that view. I cannot, and do not, think that I must invest my time in brainwashing anyone. I wouldn't call it a crab mentality either without knowing them personally.
With that said, let me be a devils-advocate, if you will, and ask these questions:
Given ours is a issue-based, goal-based struggle, with Goal & Issue being same for ALL EB immigrants:
--- Why should I expect all immigrants to wear any organization's badge, be dedicated to any particular/one organization, whether that Org is IV/Democrats/Republicans/Congress/BJP
--- Shouldn't I be just worried about who can SHOUT louder about my issue and less worried about the Organization that's making them SHOUT?
-----
Thanks for the discussion again.
I agree, we are an organization and at this point we haven't even asked people to compulsorily donate for Advocacy. I would say, not registering on IV is being extremely narrow-minded and being a crab (benefiting IV?).
Thousands of IV members have created an account on that site, so what is the problem?

And why? Just because It suits you?
Too many selfish people here..
I think immigration voice should ensure that concurrent filing of I-140 and I-485 is removed.

As far as I know, starting a PERM application in itself does not amount to an intent to immigrate - it is simply a labor market test for a future position.Remember, the employer can port the LC to a different employee at a later date. I-140, however is an application to immigrate permanently to the US; hence a violation of the F1 visa. You may have a difficult time getting your I-485 approved or have to go in for consular processing. It is best you consult a lawyer on this one; don't count on random opinions on the forum for such a serious issue.
You are correct!

Chandu, here I found the LINK (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html)
"When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued."
This is not new, it has been there for a while and almost everyone who googled AC21 would have read Murthy's page.
Whatever Murthy has mentioned is her opinion. Aytes memo has not been more stricter than Yates memo but has been more clear.
So lets continue to send letters

I vaguely remember a discussion several months ago on the forum about people that have gone back to their home countries after having waited for their green cards.
We have a media interview opportunity and need to find such examples. I remember an instance about a person going back to Bombay after he had immigration issues. He had set up his company there. Such people who could have helped US economy and growth will make a compelling story.
Pls. let me know urgently of any such cases and I will follow it up. This is required today and we have a short time window.
Two of my colleagues went back to India after facing GC hurdles. Among the two one is Phd in Atomic Science and Computer Science and lead a group of people and another is a Project Leader.
In the first one's case it took more than 4 years for him to clear his labor and got frustrated by this process. He initially sent his family back to home because of uncertainty. That created more hurdles for him as well as his family could not able to get AP in time and he is nearing completion of his 6 year H1 as well. Eventually he decided to pack his bag and went back to his home country, setup a big business and now visiting US on business Visa and take some of the jobs from here to there :)
[Side note: His approved LC remains unused at the company end even now, but finding a suitable person seems to be an uphill task for the Management and HR]
In the second one's case his labor took almost 5 years to clear and having frustrated, he decided to go back as well. He does not want hang in a place where a decision cannot be given in a timely manner. He got some special technical skills and his roll is now being replaced by 2 people. He also went back to his home country, joined a big IT firm as a Director and getting more jobs to be outsourced there :)
In both the cases, US is a clear looser by not taking advantage of the skill sets they have.
If you need more information in specific kindly send me a PM to respond you back.
Thanks

I totlaly agree with this. I am single too with PD DEC 2006. I have been in present job for almost 4 years. I ended up working for a non-profit oragnization on a non-cap H1b, which prevents me from transfering to private companies which need caped h1b( i din't knew about this when I took up the non-profit organization job). The only way for me to get into private company is to get a new H1b under cap which starts from Oct 2008. This time I planned properly and got an H1b approved. But to my shock and surprise EB2 dates moved to June 2006. I am now carefully watching the September EB2 dates. If it gets closer to Dec..I need to pull back the 485 as I don't think I can get marreid within 6 months due to family responsibality back home. If I withdraw my 485 application, I will lose the queue, money and since I plan to change job, the only benift I will be taking with me , is the PD date which I can later transfer if my next empyer does my GC. With a 2.5 year h1b left, I am hoping under worst situation, my next emplyer will sponcer my GC. This whole GC process is a pain in ***...!!!!

Well, we can keep the org name as IV, and just start a campaign with a better name (with descriptive URLs) without worrying about the overhead of changing registrations, etc.
There are some good points here, "ImmigrationVoice" sounds very broad and comprehensive. Most American's have never even heard of employment based immigration. Furthermore, they don't see what the problem is with H1Bs - they figure, why are you complaining, you are here in the glorious USA, you should be thankfull and happy.
Anyway, some better branding on our part with campaigns can serve the same purpose as a fullblown name change. For example, the campaign could be called: "Competitive Immigration", and it's derivatives. "Innovation America", like CompeteAmerica which has a great name. Also, "Keep America on Top" or KAT, just spewing ideas that come to mind.... and emphasize the need to keep and attract bright minds to America - or else they will compete with us offshore.
So, let's think about hatching campaigns - like a Google AdWord Campaign, for example, and we'll name those campaigns much more purposely and descriptively. And we still get to keep the IV name as the sponsor. Just a thought.

I am in the exactly same situation.
I talked to my Attorney and they are going to send me Originla I-485 receipt notice. What they told me the RD on original notices is July 2, 2007.
If this is true, then I will just ignore the Aug 28, 2007 RD on my Transfer Notices.
Try to get your original I-485 from Attorney and check out what the RD is on them....
An please post here if you find anything else.
I have my EADs and APs approved already.

Applications were sent to NSC on July 19th' 2007. I got my receipt numbers today and all three numbers (I485, EAD & AP) start with WAC ### ### ####. The online status for the applications say that the 485 application was transfered to Texas Service Center and the EAD & AP applications were sent to Califorina Service Center.
Also just fyi, my I-140 app. is pending at NSC since Dec' 2006. So now I am all over the country :-) Don't know its good or bad. Any idea anyone?
Best of luck to all....

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.

Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?
The downturn also causes 'GC pending' applicants to be laid off.

I dont know how far this bill will get, given the facts that it has weaker workplace enforcement laws plus a direct path to citizens. This is exactly what the Republicans dont want.
I dont know much about the bills, but I agree with Nat23 because the post mentiones weaker enforcement laws. I have a feeling that this will not clear from Senate to be forwarded to the house.
Americans need touch reforms, president has mentioned no amnesty in his
