I got only one set of A# for both the applications. When I filed my second application I didn't have my A#. But we have mentioned clearly that there is another application that is filed on behalf of same applicant on MM/DD/YYYY.
You are lucky. Else the case goes for this conflict resolution and can take few weeks to resolve. If someone is getting such error they can post here and I can help.

I am all for it, and would support it in whatever way possible. Although not sure how it would work. It would require a gigantic change in the US laws.
I am here for past 11 years paying all possible taxes. Fortunately i was able to file 485 in 07, thru my second gc filing. Bought a house in '06 in a bold move, with the hope that gc would come thru sooner or later. Overall happy with the move to my own house (though the house value has dropped considerably since). Waiting is really painful, but I'll continue to maintain a positive outlook till then.

They haven't mentioned there whether dependents are included or not. So multiplying by 2.1 is probably not correct nor wrong at this point. I would think dependents are included in this. Everybody needs to file an I-485 I presume and they are just counting the pending ones.
Hi:
My take is that this figure includes dependents. Dependents have SEPARATE I-485s and must be counted separately. The USCIS has said this this is the number of pending I-485s, so it does include pending dependent I-485s. They don't have to specifically mention "dependents are included,"because dependents do file separate forms I-485 when the primary applicant files his/her own. Thank you. :-)

I have news for you (and the certitude with which you make your claims here are laughable). Computer science graduation rates in US went up this year by 6-8%, because the visa caps since 2003 remained at 65000 instead of 195000 creating some demand here. I personally know kids who wanted to go to Computer science, but went for other areas like health care because of the lack of offshoring/H1 etc. If the crooked Indian offshorers and fly-by-night operators are not driving down the wages, more americans will go to computer science, as they would go for a career as MD or Pharmacist or lawyer (almost all those careers need at least 6-8 years of college). They also know that professional associations like AMA or APhA wouldn't allow importing foreign workers by corporations/hospitals on a scale that H1-bs are imported in IT area
Very sorry to disagree with you. Kids here have a lot more well paying choices for career and computer science is not really the glamour area for them. Where do you get 6-8% number from? is it Bachelors, Masters or PHD graduates? What percentage of this number is foreign students? in my experience there was a surge of foreign applicants even at Bachelors level during the same period.
Kids choices here are guided by their interest and career opportunities. And interest is the foremost criteria. Your thoughts about physicians or pharmacists are not apple to apple comparison. People have been sick through out the history of mankind and there has been increase in physicians and care providers propotional to population growth rate. There has been no explosive growth in those areas. IT/semiconductors/computers have gone through a period of explosive growth. That growth rate slowed with the burst of 2000-2001 and the H1 numbers reflect that. Why are H1 numbers not taken this year? It is simply because the market has slowed down.
Based on my experience, I wouldn't say that Indian kids have any special skills in maths or science compared to americans. Contrary to what you claim, people are aware of H1s and offshoring(may be so much on the exploitation of L1) as they talk to friends and family and guidance counselors at school. Most of the IT jobs were Indian H1-bs are employed doesn't even need computer science or engineering degree. Some of the best architects I have seen in IT didn't have a computer science major. A green-horn from TCS/INFY with a computer science degree and pretending to be an architect doesn't mean he is the best IT professional available in the market.
A computer science degree is not a mujst but it should be in related fields of science, math or engineering. can you show me a pharmacist or physician who is an architect ? The guy who is hiring a professional will determine who is the best suited for his needs? If the guy from TCS/Infy does not suit his needs he can find the best guy available to him. You can not judge who is best suited for all jobs available. And in this economy if a person's skill does not suit the job he is out of the door pretty quickly.

To find immigrant community everywhere.. at your workplace, at grocery stores, cinema halls, places of worship, where else?
Lets find them and inform them and CONVINCE them of the importance of doing this.
Lets offer to make it easy for them by having printed letters ready for signature + name + address.
We have only 4 weekends to get it done. In my past experience, you will need an hour to yield an output of about 10 - 15 letters. Plan and be prepared.
If you get a friend to go with you, it will be great, but if not, then plan yourself and execute. I had done this for our signature campaign prior to the rally and I will do it again!

For those in South ( Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana) best way to go to India is new Emirates direct flight between Houston and Dubai and then onward to India.
I have had 3-4 friends fly this route since they started flying in November 2007 and they have nothing but praise for everything. These guys have excellent food and entertainment and no transit visa hassels plus duty free sopping in Dubai is good.
Pluse - they put you up in a hotel if your Dubai layover is more than 8 hrs (for economy class passengers) and you get a free transit visa to visit Dubai. During my last trip to Bangalore, I went via Dubai (NYC - Dubai direct flight) and on my way back we had 11 hrs layover. My wife and I got a chance to see the city. Next time we are going to India we are planning on staying for a few days and go for their desert camp trip.
I have heard pretty good things about the emirates in the past. I was considering it for my next trip.
But a friend of mine traveled Emirates recently (Dec 07). His flight (and few other flights) from Dubai to India got canceled. He had to wait in the airport for 24 hours and some people for 48 hours for the next flight. That was not bad, he had to wait in line for 10 hours (yes, I am not joking) to get his booking for the next day. They did not provide the accommodation to any one. He says they were not even sorry that this happened.
He says all the passengers slept in the corridors like how they do in busy bus stand platforms. It was unbelievable but true.
I never flew Air India, Never through England. Hopefully never will. Thanks a lot OP for posting your experience. The Koh-hi-Noor comment was a kicker :)

I got your point and I difffer with that. Your point is-only defective items should be returned and I am saying it doesn't need to be defective. As long as you are not completely satisfied you should be able to return it and price is an element in customer satisfaction. That's why stores do price match so you don't need to return their merchandise. Stores that don't do price match deserve their goods to be returned.
Also, I didn't put words in your mouth. "Returning used merchandise is a fraud" - these words came out of your own mouth. Check your own post.
You're not getting my point! If you the merchandise is defective it is perfectly fine to return it.
Why do you guys feel the need to simply assume things and put words in someone's mouth and then go off trying to show off their opinions????
Go back to my post and read!!!!!!!!!

There is another thread on the issue and some of us think that we do have a case. Initial response from a certain lawyer has been positive.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20669
The affected parties (i.e. us) need to show damage in certain way and I do have some points that can be used.
Any lawyer will tell you that you have a case because he wants to make more money. Its like going to Walmart and Walmart telling you that the product does provide value for your family. You take any case to any lawyer, 99.9% lawyers will tell you that you have a case. You go with an idea that you should be the President of the country, they will tell you "Ya I can clearly see why you feel like that and I totally agree, so you may have a case there". My suggestion is, please do not waste your money if some lawyer is saying you that "you have a case". They know that is what you - the potential client, wants to hear.
Our primary point is that the spirit of law has not been upheld.
I bet this is what your lawyer told you. Do you realize how vague this term "spirit of the law" is. But, as long as you are ok to put you money in fire, who cares. Go right ahead, knock yourself, I am right behind you and best of luck, you sure need a lot of it. :p

Hello Immigration gurus,
I have a very simple question.
When can a person leave the job to work for any employer to do any kind of job (other than one mentioned in the Labor Certificate)?
Choice 1:

Choice 2:
6 months after GETTING green card
Choice 3:

Hi,
My labor (EB3) and 140 were approved a while ago.My company has sent H1B extension for three years in Feb 07.There was a query requesting for additional evidence from USICS in Apr 07.They are requesting lot of my company info and nothing about myself.My Company is taking its own sweet time to respond.Now I am eligible to file 485 as per the latest June visa dates for EB3.My question is could I file 485 when H1b extension is pending.My previous I94 expired on May 07.Please help as it is urgent.If the visa dates move back again then it will be horrible.My Company didn't file during concurrent filing and has eaten 2 years of my life and now they may use this to further hold me..any help will be appreciated.
Thx Vict

The law unambiguously states that for employment based categories - EB1 spillover should first go to EB2 and whatever is not required by both EB1 and EB2 will spillover to EB3. If the USCIS has been doing something different previously they were actually not following the letter of the law.
Here are the relevant sections of the INA which unambiguosly states the above.
Here is what Section 203 of the Immigration and Nationality Act states -
EB1 -
(1) Priority workers. - Visas shall first be made available in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraphs (4) and (5),...............
EB2 -
(2) Aliens who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or aliens of exceptional ability. -
(A) In general. - Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraph (1) ...............
EB3 -
(3) Skilled workers, professionals, and other workers.-
(A) In general. - Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraphs (1) and (2), .........
Yes, the same law can be interpreted like this:
EB1-ROW unused visa will go to EB2-ROW
EB2-ROW unused visa will go to EB3-ROW
Same for each country.
But its not happening. What actually is happening that they are giving unused visa from EB1-ROW to EB2-ROW to EB2-I/C. WHY?
So EB3-ROW is retrogressed bcoz it doesn't get any spillover and hence it affect EB3-I.
So where is the correct interpretation? Does any body know?
Don't take me wrong here. I don't favor EB3-ROW or any particular category. I am EB3-I with PD Nov 2002.

Flying through Asian Countires is not an option for people residing in East Coast. I am travelling to India in the next week Via Amsterdam. I am told by the consulate that we do not need Transit Visas. My H1B Visa is expired and I am travelling on AP. Did any one hear differently?
Thanks
This confirms what my travel agent told me .. I'm flying next week to India on NWA (JFK-Amsterdam-HYD) .. I will be travelling on AP with an unstamped H1B .. No Transit Visa required!
