sandiboy ,
I told her, "I send I-485 on June 29th". I didn't specify 'JULY' to her.

i'll break my word for one last piece of advice for my sensistive friend:
"The very reason why we join this forum so that we can, as whole, say something that may influence the law makers of this country to change the existing laws so that our problem with GC will be resolve."
no lawmaker is bothering to read this silly thread. Please stop dreaming. if you want to influence, go meet them! that remain's iv's official word on the matter too...see the meet the lawmaker campaign. and if you already have...you have my respect, you are too good in that case to waste your time complaining about this stuff.
Probably, that's the reason why most lawmaker ignore us because of these comments. For them, we are aliens. We are not their contituents. And I think these country centric comments makes it worse.

If you could send checks instead of paypal, it would help us save transaction fees. Every penny counts. We are getting about $1000 a day on weekdays and as high as it may sound, its not the best we would wish as Sam Alito's confirmation gets the senate closer to other items on agenda one of which is Comp Immigration bill.
Call you other H1b friends waiting in line for GC and ask them to contribute after you are done contributing.

Here is the first cut at story on 'Issues with GC + Retrogression 101' for media & public. Here goes:
Why there is no green light on green cards?
- By Vijay Reddiar
There have been lots of discussion and spotlights on H1-B issues in the past. One of the least heard, but the most pressing issue that continues to plague day-to-day lives of thousands of high-skilled legal immigrant workers in the US is Retrogression causing deep anxiety, frustration and considerable delay in processing and approving of permanent residency, also called Green Card.
For employment-based green cards, every country has a fixed number of immigrant visas or quota on a per-year basis. When I-485 adjudication or adjustment of status from non-immigrant to immigrant status (example H1-B to Permanent Resident) successfully concludes, it leads to approval of green card. This approval requires a visa number to be available. But, if the visa quota for a country has been used up, visa numbers become unavailable for that country. This unavailability of visa number is the effect of retrogression, wherein, the US Department of State, based on the current demand for the visas decides allocation of how many visa numbers can be released to meet the demand and be in conformance with the pre-set quota.
Employers file for green cards for skilled professionals to obtain a legal immigrant status for future employment. Skilled professionals who have green card processing pending typically wait for their green cards to be approved for an average period of 5 years. During this period, they have very limited, if any, freedom to exercise choice with changing jobs, or getting a raise or promotions, being with the same job, title, position and employer with no way out until it gets approved. The only way out would be to risk losing your green card or having to start all over again. Family members of such skilled professionals share the pain as well. Spouses who would like to obtain jobs and attain financial freedom do not have the legal rights to work until they at the least have an employment authorization. Children of such professionals who apply for college cannot benefit from federal government loans, but instead need their parents to seek private loans. Becoming a legal immigrant has become an increasingly challenging and frustrating experience as has been noted by the experiences of each individual of this community. Unless a legislative reform is made, green cards are not only going to be tough, but also seemingly impossible to materialize.
Immigration Voice, a non-profit organization in the US, founded in Nov 2005 has begun grassroots level effort to alleviate the untold sufferings of high skilled professionals and has been working actively through volunteer members of the organization, that has grown to 9,000+ members in just more than a year. Immigration Voice recently hired Patton Boggs, a top public affairs firm for lobbying efforts towards the immigration goals of the high skilled worker community. Immigration Voice is now heavily engaged pursuing CIR or the Comprehensive Immigration Reform which will be introduced in the Senate in early March 2007 and then proceed to the House before it will be signed by the President to be enacted. This may very well be the ray of hope for the thousands of immigrants stranded on the not-so-green-now land of green cards.

Hi desi3933,
My wife got approval notice from 10/01/2006. Her employer is willing to give paystubs from March 2007. Will this put her back in status so that she can file I-485?
We are planning to resign after she file I-485 at July end and apply for COS with 2 paystubs. Will this cause a problem or is it legal?
Could you please advice?
Thanks
I read from a different post that you can file for AOS if you are out of status for less than 180 days. there is a section 245(k) which allows you to do this. I don't know the accuracy of this info.
this is from murthy.com site
Section 245(k) enables a person who is adjusting status in an employment-based category (whether on the basis of a labor certification or in one of the special Green Card categories that does not require a labor certification or job offer) to adjust, even if s/he has been out of status or worked without authorization for less than 180 days. This provision does not require an immigrant petition or labor certification to have been filed on or before any particular date and there is also no penalty fee involved.

I'll believe it when i see it.
I have heard and seen far too many such "stunts" and public displays to be excited just yet.
But it would be disastrous in terms of PR if even this fails. But like you, I would not hold my breath for this but am cautiously optimistic at the same time.
Also, please realize that any changes to the bill will meet absolute resistance from both sides. We will have to wait and see how many amendments are they planning on allowing.....

Thx

OK.What you visualize when someone says God or when you do prayers to god?.Just curious...
As you Said God means different to different religions followers like for Christian God means "Jesus" Hindu God means "Shiva/Vishnu/Bramha ..." for Muslim "Allah" , But the Word is Still the "God".
For them "God" is the one that has created this world , for you its nature that has created this world.
Same as what to visualize , when you say "nature" creates "nature" . I visualize the nature/god that can create all these "Nature" things.

If no CIR no relief for legal also. This bill with minor amendment is much better than statsuquo
in the long run, it is going to be extremely BAD/HARD for skilled immigrants..
I couldn't confirm it but from what I understand, the dual intent will no longer be valid on H1 ie A H1-B holder cannot have an immigrant intent. Does that mean, they cannot file for a GC, while on H1? Also, as consulting would be severely restricted, how many of the H1s will be able to find Full-Time Jobs?
As we read more into the Bill, the 'hidden' intent is becoming clear..
Restrictions & more Restrictions..

Core members,
I think flowers comaign is a good idea. But I wanted to know why don't we send letters and emails to Mr.Aytes and USCIS Director and probably HEads of DOS to issue the 182,000 unused visas since 2000 now so USCIS can work on those visas from July to October.
NYTimes article mentioned that DOS officials did not want this years number wasted like the 182,000 visas got unused since 2000.
Can someone come up with a writing so we can all send emails and postals mails with this request.
They need a mandate from the congress to do it, once in the past, during the clinton administration, they got the "GO" to use up unused visas.
The current administration dosent want to do that, that is exactly why we need more awareness in the media and the congress.

anai,
Resolving the BEC problem is definitely one of IV's main goals. There is no way I will believe in DOL's claim of clearing all the back logs by Oct 2007.
IV has had a number of discussions with lawmakers and administrative officials, first to understand the issue and next to solve it. There are two ways to solve it. From our discussions, it has become clear that the lawmakers still view this as a temporary problem and are not willing to legislate on that behalf. Never the less all of them did agree that the efficiency of the BECs left a lot to be desired. So we were working a bi-partisan coalition of lawmakers who were willing to put pressure on DOL and USCIS on the need for efficiency and transparency.
All of this was before the crazy pace with which the Comprehensive Immigration Bill began to move. We do have to realize that this bill is a golden chance to have our provisions in place and we have less than 2 weeks to works on it. Frist wants either of the Immigration Bills to be passed before Apr 7th. If we do miss out on our goals in this bill and this bill gets passed, we will not be able to revisit our issues for a long time. So right now a lot of the attention is being given to it. This does not mean that BEC is forgotten. Hope you do understand.
I appreciate all that the more active members at IV are doing for BEC resolution. A sincere thank you.
My posts were aimed at addressing the naive belief among a few members that the BEC mess is a non-issue. The IV community, I am sure, realizes that the BEC mess needs resolution. I do not think that IV has forgotten BEC issues; it wouldn't be one of our goals had we forgotten about it.
Of course, different issues are to be highlighted at different times, depending on tactical necessities. So it is only appropriate that the current focus is on the bills. Those who are intimately and acitvely involved must of course set the priorities as they see fit.

all i can say is that your situation sounds like an illegal situation... if you are simply going to provide offer letter without actually having a job... but thats between you and your company and you may be perfectly legal and fine... check with a lawyer dude
So what is the general feeling about the Original GC sponsoring Job, Should we continue the Primary Job and Start a company on the sides. In my case
1. I am not on H1B anymore
2. I am already using my EAD with my GC sponsoring employer.
3. My Employer is ok if i leave the company ( i have been with them for 6-7 yrs now and they have made enough from me...fair enough i think)
4. My employer will not revoke the I-140 for sure.
5. My client is ok to work with me if i start my own company.
All the above points make me inclined towards starting a company and work for it, Do you think it is not advisable to change the employer specially in the case when you are starting your own company..
