Hello IV:
Time and again I see most members skeptical on efforts such as those organized by IV. I happened to surf upon the NumbersUSA website and the general outlay of the website clearly establishes their objectives and motto. Although IV is fighting for a niche stage in the legal immigration process, a stage which almost all non-immigrants have to pass through, it is my perspective that this is never clearly communicated. The NumbersUSA website is visually more informative.
"Why don't you do it for us?" may be one of the questions resulting from this post. I simply don't have the time which is why I am hoping that my recurring contribution of $50/month can be used for such a purpose.
Also, a blogspot for the CORE team members and their efforts would nicely keep us busy non-immigrant professionals encouraged on daily or weekly efforts by IV. I honestly swing by everyday to see what IV is upto by frantically looking for a relative subject in the posts of the forum. Alas, only to be deceived by requests for contribution which I am humbly not discouraging, but it is heartburning to swing by IV and then look over the House Clerk's website to see what was in session for the day and what we might potentially be upto, leaving the battle plan of IV to my creative and tired mind.
"Why contribute if you don't have faith in us?" you may ask. Simple! I feel proud to be an immigrant and fighting for our rights. Not a day passes by when my mind plays tricks on me to sell my 62" Plasma TV, my comfy leather sofa, my Playstation 2 and the two part-time business ventures I formed which will potentially employ 20 americans and give business to marketing, promotions and other agencies to help the venture succeed, to return back to India.
I am still searching for the right answer...
Hopefully, my small contribution to IV to aid their massive efforts will help me come closer to the truth and ultimately my decision.
Do please stay united in your efforts, for the day will never end for non-immigrants alike in their endeavour to succeed and live life hoping that every day they can make a difference in people's lives not knowing that there is no difference in their own because they are caught in a web of misinformed albeit ignorant citizens and this mythical Green(C) monster.
For all those non-believers, kudos to you for you seem to have mastered the fine art of ignorance without guilt and self-deception.
Here is my signature -
$25 + $50/month so far. Millions in the future if I succeed through my mighty keyboard. :)

I filed my I-140 in July 07, I-485 in August with PD of June 07(EB3 India). Perhaps there may be many more like me with very recent PDs. Given that it is going to be a very long wait for getting GC, what should be a good approach for me? Use EAD after I-140 is approved (AC21 would be in place by that time) to make the most of the waiting time or play it extremely safe and stay with the current employer till GC is received? :confused:
there is a third option. After 140 is approved, you may change employers (assuming 180 days since 485 filing are up) but still maintain H1 status by doing an H1 transfer. AC21 does not require the use of EAD. It is equally possible to invoke AC21 while still maintaining H1 status. Of course, it may be easier to use EAD for employers that do not want to sponsor H1 since you already have an EAD.

I think Kerry(i think it is actually Kennedy E who introduced it - SA180 , SA 187 did not have anyhting to do with us it was for Women centers) di dnot have any good intentions for us in troducing this.If you see on Thomas(or congress.gov and search for HR2, see the fourth version, and check out amendments), SA180 was amendment to SA143 (this is by our friend Jeff Sessions). So most probably it was part of politics. Also this status says both these amendments wer eintroduced in Senate but thats it, they did not pass.
Yes, you are right, I got confused and removed my post. Yes, the 180 one was the right one.
So, should we call or e-mail sen. Kennedy and ask him to push forward?

The following is from Hammond Law Firm. There is no cap for non-profit organizations.
The H-1b season is quickly getting closer. We now only have 6 weeks left before April 1. As you may recall, last year, all H-1b's were exhausted by May 26th. We are projecting that this year the cap will be reached in 2 weeks or less – perhaps as soon as ONE DAY! With that in mind, it is important to begin the preparation of any H-1b filings NOW! Our plan is to have all H-1b cap subject cases ready to be filed on March 30 for delivery at USCIS on April 2, 2007. April 1 falls on a Sunday and the USCIS has confirmed that the 2007 H-1b season begins Monday April 2.

i had pleasuer to meet with aman/logic life/paskal/pappu. it made some good sense to put a face with the IV handle and it does helps a lot.
over all my experience was that all members (core and non core) worked earnestly to make anything and everything possible. i know it as i was outside the room where all the action was... and could see honesty in every action.
this will go down as long lasting memories with me...
thanks

Maintaining H1 is recommended not only for reapplying i485 but also to maintain status. Without valid H1, if I-485 is denied one is "out of status" and does not have time to appeal the 485 denial.
Please check with your immigration attroney as they know it better but here are few things i heard:
EAD+AP:
after 6 mths of I-485 filing, shifting jobs would be easy with EAD. costly because of yearly renewal but worth based on your situation. i prefer renewing this EAD+AP, even in H1 so that you can shift jobs when you got the oppurtunity because EAD takes 3-4 mths approval time and you can travel using AP like H1 when you dont have H1 stamping. Even if you have H1stamping but if you use EAD/AP while entering US then you are no longer in H1 unless you go out and come back with H1.
Cons: Fees is increased by 60-80% this yr for EAD+AP, so costly. Also if for any reason anyone's I-485 is denied then the period he/she used EAD will be out-of-status so applying I-485 again wont be easy with "out-of-status" but still possible, check with your attroney.
Note: But couple of my friends changed jobs using EAD+AP and got GC without any issue. so it depends case to case and your application and how USCIS process it.
H1:
no need to renew EAD+AP but i feel it is always better to have both H1 & EAD/AP unless you want to save money. H1 gives oppurtunityto reapply I-485 even if denied. I think Job shifting is possible with H1 transfer, but check with attroney. Also you need to do H1 renewal and to travel abroad you need H1 stamping while entering US again.
hope this gives an idea.

Guys, I still don't understand those who keep complaining and complaining about "unfairness" of the system. I feel you, those who are stuck somewhere... and I'm happy for those who can apply, even those who came in 2007. So what? Wishing bad for others is a bad karma... (I started getting into buddist things lately).
And about fairness.. Is it fair that some people are coming here by just winning the lottery? I'm working with one guy from Ukraine, he came several months ago, sitting with his GC next to me, looking at me having NO IDEA what i'm talking about. Is it fair? No.
Is it fair that hundreds of thousands come here and get documents by pretending to be "refugees"? You know how to get your documents through asylum? - Simple: just come up with a story (be gay, anti-communist, jehova-witness, whatever...), then you have ONE interview with officer and THAT'S IT!!! After a year you have GC. Half of LA is like that. I know a lot of dudes came a lot later after me, applying for citizenships now. Telling me that I'm stupid that went through that ridiculous way.
I could become illegale in 1999 and get advantage of Clintons LIFE act. Many did who have citizenships now. Stupid of me? Maybe. Fair? No.
Is this all fair? No... Everybody has his/her way.
I'm proposing to make it more fair. Let's just propose mass deportation of American citizens. Make one big immigration line - then it will be fair.

Big movement usually comes in June (last quarter of the fiscal year) because DOS is not good in statistics (they are hiring US citizens...just kidding, no offense meant) and only that time it realizes that there are more visas to give. And then suddenly some big VB movements (i think DOS should hire us instead as statistician....i can make accurate VB...lol).
But I believe for FY2008, big movement will come on April (DOS doesn't like a repeat of the July VB fiasco).
i agree with junRN....i think this time around the movement will be accurate because all the 485 cases have been filed (excluding BEC ppl) no labor substitution will occur, hence they will know how many visas are in hand and how many can be allotted. Although I think the movement will start from Dec as they suggested...but it will be conservative..and then get agrressive (if reqd) by april.

I hold a H4 visa and my employer had applied for my H4 to H1 conversion in this cap. i have not yet got any receipt number from the USCIS. My question is that if I get the approval notice itself I will be able to work or I should wait till Oct 2007?
Any help appreciated.

I agree with you but give them(EB3 people) hope that next year we will re capture unused visas either through CIR or piecemeal amendment.
With re-capture EB2 will be current and all the spillover/accross/up/down will go to EB3
and next year sept Eb3 will move 3-4 years.
I do not know much but IV core might be in a good position to answer about how we can
get our provisions piecemeal.
I read that there are 2800 EB3-I visas a year, or about 233 visas per month. Assuming there are about 700 numbers available for the rest of the year 2010, using the data in the latest May-2010 I485 inventory, the calculation is pretty straight n easy with no spillover calculations involved ... here is a possible progress of the PD:
Sep-2010 : 10-Dec-2001
Sep-2011 : 31-May-2002
Sep-2012 : 15-Sep-2002
Sep-2013 : 01-Jan-2003
Sep-2014 : 01-Apr-2003
From there on the numbers are huge per month - about thousand pending 485 per month ... it'll continue at less than snail pace :D
