It gives a solace that there are still some good people out there in this mean world. It is ridiculous to point out that it is a typo. Other than money what Aman and others have done is priceless.

Hi All
I have been following this thread for the last few days and wanted to share some info. Hoping it would be useful.
I entered the country in Jan 08 using the AP while I was still working for my GC sponsoring employer. Then in June 08 I joined another employer by transferring my H1B to the new employer. I did have the option of using EAD but I wasn't sure if the renewal will come before the expiry of current EAD. So decided to transfer H1 and my new employer graciously agreed to it.
We did a premium transfer so got the approval in 2 weeks. Money does wonders (Almost like the proverbial paper weight with files). I confirm that the I94# number on I797 approval notice is same as the I94# number I got when entering the country in Jan 08.
So this should be a good news for folks who are trying to do the same. I am in a different boat right now. I have to travel to India this November. I plan to return using AP. But now my employer is different from my GC sponsoring employer. Another issue is that I am going only for two weeks while my wife will be in India till Mid Jan. So we will enter US separately using AP. Please share your thoughts if you have been in this situation.
Does your new I-94 (after H1 transfer) shows H1B or parolee? If you have time get H1B visa based on your recent H1B approval notice and enter on that. Otherwise you can very well enter on AP, though you work for different employer. As long as 485 is pending and if you have valid AP in hand, admission will not be an issue. Keep your H1B approval notice and AC21 letter (if you have it) in hand, in case if they dig you more.

Hello Everybody,
In response to my service request on 9th Sept 2009, my I485 has been transferred to the USCIS Hialeah Florida office for further processing. Normally I -485 cases are forwarded to local offices for the purposes of scheduling an in-person interview. In my case I live in New York and no way connected to FL. I am curious anybody or any of your friend�s have similar experience.
I really appreciate your response.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
Dear IV Members,
If you believe that your success depends on your immigration process - whether it's the ability to file I-485 earlier or to get green-card and citizenship sooner or whether it's the ability of your spouse to work - then you have to believe that your success somehow depends on the success of Immigration voice and these 170 volunteers in DC next week.
As you may know, we are just one more week away from hosting Advocacy day in Washington DC where about 170 members of Immigration Voice will conduct nearly 250 meetings with offices of Senators and Congressmen. Such events cost money. If we have enough contributions, we can spend as per our budget of nearly $ 50,000. If not, we will have to cut back on the event spending and reduce the magnitude and size of the event.
If you are not coming to DC next week, please do your part and contribute funds to Immigration Voice. It not only finances the event properly, it instills pride and confidence in the members who will be there in DC that there are thousands of willing supporters behind them who could not be there physically but are 100% with them in their determination and resolve.

And voluntarily joining an organization, a professional organization, which is funded by membership dues.
I never have and never will like the idea of being asked to pay, I give what I can unasked.
Unfortunately, the statistics paint a different picture of us "members" as a whole... and that's what needs to be addressed asap.
What of the people that by circumstance do currently not have these amounts of money to spare. I should not have to feel excluded nor should I have to explain my very personal reasons why to everyone.Of course! And for those who genuinely cannot pay *the doors are STILL OPEN - prove your commitment by volunteering. Does that work for you? Or (in all seriousness, treat this as a question that needs to be answered) - are you simply looking for a forum/messageboard?
Have you guys looked in the forums lately, people are getting "yelled" at and talked to rudely if they do not disclose how much exactly they have contributed. So we are only allowed to an opinion or help if we have money?Of course not! And I hate that "being yelled at" as much as anybody else on this forum. Which is why the concept of paid membership. Nobody asks you how much you paid/contributed in every second post - isn't that what you really want???
I will contribute when I have money to spare, however it seems I will have to leave this organization based on the comments that have been out there before I get to the point where I can afford to contribute. That goes for both time and money, some of us have responsibilities that we do not want to disclose. So basically all you want is some organization and members to do their work, while you come to the forums, vent your frustrations, pass your time, get some answers and opinions to your problems, and leave to tend to your "responsibilities" - because you have both financial obligations and time commitments that are completely unique, and you are the only person who is saddled with those - whereas everyone else leads a happy, prosperous life, with time and money to spare? Nice!
*sigh* I might have just opened myself up to the ones that like to attack....go ahead...Don't think of this as an attack. That's not the purpose. If this proposal forces you think what's IV really worth to you - regardless of whether you are actually motivated into contributing or volunteering or not - I will consider the time spent on this thread a great investment!
However, if all you think of IV is as a message board and a bunch of idiots trying to fix things that may never get fixed, and if they do - you'll always stand to gain - a membership-based organization would better serve the needs of the rest, imho.
cheers!

As someone mentioned on the other popst..DREAM ACT is for the children of illegal immigrants...not for the legal ones...
Yeah, we have to focus on long term relief. Getting AP and EAD is not a long term solution. I was hoping 'capturing unused numbers' or something better would happen with this July fiasco fix, does not seem to be happening now.
Hopefully this DREAM act will trigger more amendments like 'no limits on STEM EB visas' to get into pending bills...

Received one today.
Weirdest thing:
Person's 140 was revoked by employer;
person received notice of intent to deny. NOID clearly stated that 140 was revoked by employer then quoted ac21 law and said beneficiary may be eligible and to give job offer letter.
person responded with letter from new ac21 employer with perfectly matching job duties/descriptions.
uscis sent denial. Denial only stated that 140 was revoked and 140 immigrant petition is needed to get greencard.
Don't know if this is a new procedure that they are following the main law where a valied 140 is needed the whole time.
UN,
Have there been any updates on this case that you are at liberty to share?
Thanks in advance.

Please don't flood/SPAM Senator Grassley with your E-mails..
If there is any such program to contact any senator, it will be announced by IV core through State chapters network. That's the purpose State Chapters were created! Right now no such action plans exist!
A sincere request to anyone, DO NOT create your own 'Action Items' on Legislative actions. Reason being, legislative matters are delicate and need careful handling. If handled without a holistic perspective and professional advice - which only IV core can provide - may backfire and harm IV cause, instead of helping it!
Regarding H1B
If the system is broken, it should be the responsibility of DoL and government to fix it. Laws on book should be enforced first before introducing new laws. Raising the fees to astronomical levels will kill the program instead of reforming it. Real fix to H1B issues is increasing the number of green cards and provide a level playing field. Wish there was work on permanent fixes to the system instead of efforts to kill it.

They moved from 8/1/2002 to 9/22/2002.
According to the I485 inventory they published, there is what.. 400 cases between these two date, why only move 400 cases per month = 4800 per year when the annual quota for EB3 ROW is what.. around 30,000?
Never mind the spillover, can ROW just get its normal quota at least?

400k is the unused visas from both FB and EB. Don't know the breakup though.
The number 400,000 (total unused from family based and employment based) in Mrs. GILLIBRAND's website is an estimate as clearly mentioned in the website itself. During last year's recapture bill discussion season, the unused number many calculated and conlcuded was somewhere between 200K to 225K for employment based category.
The bill S.1085 doesn't speak of any specific number of visas to be recaptured. It says that, recapture all (unused visas from 1992 through 2007 + unused from previous fiscal year (2008)) and add it to the current fiscal year.
So, the total should be somewhere between 200K and 225K (or more).

Those who are celebrating .. consider this.. your employer decides for any reason to not continue filing I-140 or decides to let you go in 6th yr.. earlier you used to have at least possibility of sub labor.. now you are basically straight out of luck.. Also if microsoft needed some genius from China or India to join their team and the guy obviously deserves special consideration due to business need and/or his talent.. they are stuck..! It's not good.. yes desi folks were selling and buying these but remedy is worse than the defect.. they could have made changes to rules to make it stringent and almost impossible to get but no reason to place such arbitraty deadlines etc.. if H1B and GC is geared towards desi consulting.. it's should not and will not exist in the long run..
Indentured servitude and middle-men agent type business model is not ideal for anyone including US economy..
----------
that was the idea behind it, but when a feature is being misused and exploited that needs to be plugged. If microsoft needed a genius they can bring that person in on EB1 or H1B or B1 visa. there are many other avenues.
How do u feel that a person who arrives in US yesterday, buys a labor, gets his GC within a year while thousands of us are waiting patiently.
It is an unfair practice and should have been stopped long time back.
It's never too late though.
Selling labors became the business model of manyof these companies.
Are they doing anything illegal? NO.
Are they doing something ethical? NO
So, the law has to change to give everyone a fair chance.

Let us list our the reasons for not complaining
If you are on a H1B
- Employer is withholding pay for 4-8 pay periods and leaving the employer would lead to losing the money
- DOL and USCIS will not be able to recover all the money the employer owes per the employment agreement even if it reported. They might only recover the $$ mentioned on LCA
- Employer does not run paychecks periodically so it might be hard to find Jobs and do a sucessful transfer of H1B visa and start the Greencard process all over again
I485 filed cases
- Employer withholds documentation and/or does not share documentation related to Labor/140 etc to be able to utilize AC21
- The Job description that was communicated to the employee while filing the Labor does not match the employee's field of work and the employee has not reviewed the LC prior to signing
Anything else?
