Two thumbs up to whoever came up with this idea. I would suggest some of us should apply for jobs in his administration since we already have our EAD. We can submit our resume on the www.change.gov site.:)

Dude, You might be a new entry in to the ball of Immigration now. As said earlier , every one is free to judge and post the queries. If IV is shutting door of any questions you wouldnt have seen forum threads. There is enough discussion and direction taken on information being released to ALL members. Why one should complain IV not doing anything ?
here are some atleast, immaterial you agree or not:
1. If ppl are reaping benefits of EAD for multiple years , its becoz of IV.
2. whole of July fiasco was a win becoz of IV , not sure whether you are in the boat, but i can see the pain and how IV helped all of us.
3. all the admin fixes were co-ordinated by IV ,
4. The list goes on.. those 3 above are just enough to prove the help an ORGANIZATION did with minimal resources. Also please note none of the core are full time IV , they are also ppl like you and me.
Reason one has donor forum is becoz they are trusted sources. How can one know that you are pro-immigrant or anti-immigrant.
You would see dialy or minutes updates on sites of anti-immigrants becoz they have dedicated members and number base is too high.
Again , no one is shutting door against you, looking at your post i see you are shutting door against yourself just becoz your idea of Fax through AILA is not acceptable as an IV agenda.
Do you know first of all what provisions in CIR 2007 were in there which would have broke the back of ppl on H1 and potential immigrants? Can you confirm which provisions of CIR 2009 if there be one will help you ? will you support CIR even if it says you have to go back to india in no time ? AILA never mentioned in first place whether it would support EB community.
Plain simple, we pay Dollars even to newspaper ... You dont want to contribute for your own cause but get info for free and prove that will raise for your own cause. Those newsletters are for your benefit and collectively for the whole community.
Still IV is posting info to non-paying members , IV Never shuts its door but with limited resources they are doing what they can. Before complaining on IV you do your part. :cool:
Hope this helps you to rethink differently...
Also , FYI... AILA doesnt post all messages to free members .. all the critical info is circulated via PAID members of AILA.. this is part of any organization ... Can you complain against AILA, becoz if you are FREE member of AILA you still get emails like the one reg. Fax to CIR... There is a lot going in background for CIR than many of us even know...
Well said.
Raji - I don't know how long you have been around since you just started posting. If you want to promote Family Based Immigration go ahead and go for it.
We all at IV are for EB visa recapture and would want to use our energy and resources for that. IV has done a lot of things for us in the past and continues to do so. In fact IV is the ONLY organization that fights for us.
The last CIR was like a bill from hell for us Legals. You can be very sure the coming CIR is going to be like this too ( with the job enviroment so bad ) . Unless we see something concrete helping the EB community in any bill , supporting it doesn't make any sense.
I don't want the transfer of EB unused visas to FB visa category. As such they already have much more visas every year .

On March 30, my wife was issued a RFE for her incomplete medicals (TB test & Vaccination). Yesterday our attorney submitted the completed medical reports and today I received an email from 'CRIS' acknowleding the receipt of our response and resumption of the case. Checked the Online status and it also showed the today's LUD. Will keep the IV posted with any further development on our cases.
Here is the text of that email (seems very generic):
".........
Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed.
On April 23, 2009, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you.

This case is at our NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER location...... "

Ultimately, whatever IV is able to accomplish will benefit the entire legal immigrant community, regardless of contributions/memberships. However, the need of the hour is to realize the opportunities we are missing because of lack of resources and hands in most cases.
cheers!

I dont think theres any doubt in the value iv is providing - selling it is the issue. I can be proved wrong in a month but the ongoing funding drive is kind of a ray of hope that people will be willing to give both time & money to help themselves and others.

I am bumping this old thread since I might have missed something in this discussion.
Some advantages of staying on H1 stated earlier were:
Pros of using H1B:
1. If I-485 denied or having issues in getting approved, then you can still continue with your H1B and have peace of mind.
2. You can bring your spouse / dependents using H4
3. Getting Driving License renewal up to the duration of H1 is not a problem.
4. Can renew in 3 years time period after I-140 approval and can avoid frequent renewal of EAD hassle.
5. EAD renewal every year is expensive and can save money!
For me:
(2) is invalid (Already married, wife on independent visa)
(3) don't know (Heard it's more flexible now, so willing to take this risk)
(4) USICS started issuing 2 year EAD, so the difference is only 1 year additional extension with H1 (Not a problem for me personally)
(5) is invalid (Most of us renew EADs even if we dont use them)
which brings me to (1). How does having H1 give peace of mind? Hypothetically, if 485 is denied and H1 was extended beyond 6 years based on a pending AOS, is it still valid during MTR/Appeal? If it is, since EAD doesn't provide this privelege, I think this is the only reason why people should stay on H1?
Thanks!

Looking at the table in immigration-law.com, it appears that 33% have been certified and 33% have been closed/denied of the present 67% that have been processed. Those are absolute numbers (it is not 33% of 67% closed, it is 33% of the total 330K). Hence of the 220K cases processed, 110K have been certified and 110K closed/denied.
If the same trend holds, it will be 165K certified (out of a total of 330K). Add the 1.1 multiplying factor and we are looking at 346K total GCs. This is 2.5 years total. But USCIS seems to be sending off excess EB 1-2 visas to EB3 ROW so retrogression will continue for EB2 India and China.
There is some massive confusion here. The Immigration and Nationality Act also says the following for EB3
-Quote
(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), to the following classes of aliens who are not described in paragraph (2):
-End Quote
Read the term "Not to exceed 28.6 percent". So EB3 can't exceed 28.6 percent which means unused visas from EB2 cant all go to EB3. Since EB2 ROW is current, the unused EB2 visas should be coming to EB2 India & china as per AC21 law.. no?
We shouldn't assume that USCIS is too dumb to follow the law..

Zazona report goes wrong in two directions.
1. Benificieries of tax treaties among H-1B applicants are very small in number. They are from mostly European countries.
Based on this small number of H-1B immigrants who do not pay Social security, Zazona report generalizes that entire H-1B immigrants do not pay taxes. This is called "Hasty generalization" - a common propaganda weapon employed by unethical writers to confuse their readers.
2. Even the H-1B immigrants who do not pay Social security taxes, however small their number may be, have a right to utilize this feature provided by their home country to safeguard their hard-earned money. They should not be blamed, ridiculed, villified for taking care of themselves in the retirement.
Zazona report never talks about Americans employed in Eurpoe utilizing similar treaties to their advantage. That is the other side of the story.
If you read NumbersUSA reports also, you will find the same theme. The writer willfully obscures the fact and tries to sell his/her belief as a fact to the readers. I sent them e-mails to point out the inaccuracies, but they do not care and they are bent on selling these fallacies to public. No wonder the mainstream media does not accept their versions.

Pappu, what are the anti-immigration websites you talked about? I'm curious and want to see what they are thinking. thanks.
-----------------
Hope sth will happen in Feb. :)
20/month
These are small regulations that agencies can do. But even for such changes, the time period to get it done is very long (several months to a year). At least DOL woke up and acted. It will still leave a door open for sellers to stay happy and able to substitute labor. However it is not easy to find a buyer of a LC in 45 days.
All these are small problems compared to retrogression. Labor substitution rule will not get any visible or any noticeable relief to us. We will continue to stay retrogressed and wait for another 10-15 years for our greencards. It is important for us to contnue to fight to end retrogression by getting a legislative change done. As long as members are there to support IV, the organization will use every means to get relief measures for all of us. The coming months are crucial to our struggle. We need to stay united and continue the effort of making this organization a formidable force on the hill. IV members writing negative comments on various forums or feel disheartened should know that to get even a smallest job done is not easy. They are not only harming the whole effort and making anti immigrants happy, but also harming themselves by hurting this cause. Sometimes it is sad to read such negatve comments when you know how hard it is to work with limited time, resources, manpower and lack of much needed motivation in members.
BTW In our recent efforts we did give anti-immigrants shivers down their spine. It can be seen from their posts on their sites and also the hate mails they write on our forum and send to core members. You dont see a lot of it because we moderate posts. We are not scared of anyone. All this has only made our resolve stronger to fight it out and fix the system.

Very well summarized, recently I took the visitor insurance for my mother-in-law from .org. Before taking the insurance I called them and asked in details about pre-existing conditions and how it works. He told me in very simple words that for people who are aged above 45 plus they consider everything as pre-existing (he says its all because of age factor), any visitor insurance is only good if there is any accident (slipping from staircase, car accident...). so in a nutshell he said they will consider everything as pre-existing for aged people. I argued with him how come if they never have any History of BP and after coming here , if they have BP and sugar, then what? he says it just does not come suddenly, so its pre-existing.. I don't have the answer for him. After researching some more insurance companies, I took from them.
FinalGC,
You have summed it up correctly. Comprehensive insurance from a reputed US company/broker like AIG (not TATA-AIG) is the way to go. I had the same for my parents. Luckily, there was no need for us to use it but I know friends who have used it and were not left in soup (it worked as well as it was supposed to work).
Recently, one of my friend's dad came to Texas and got sick and the bill came to $60K. Unfortunatley, he did not buy travelers insurance and is fighting an uphill battle with the hospital.
My parents are coming next month, so I did a detailed research on all the insurance firms, both in India and in USA and I found that most of the ICICI or Tata-AIG plans have limited coverage, which limits the number of days in an ICU or visits by doctors etc.. Even if the plan has a $100K max, the plan may only cover upto $1000 per day for 30 days or so and then there is limitation for ICU and other surgeries. However, if you take a comprehensive coverage, then whatever the expenses, or wherever the charges are incurred, it does not matter. The total amount upto $100K will be covered and it does not limit ICU charges or room charges or doctor visits etc.
The only reason we need an insurance for parents is to cover emergencies, rather than regular doctor visits. Generally, any emergency run 60-70K, so I would recommend a minimum of $100K and do a comprehensive coverage. I have worked with IMG or check this guy at http://www.visitorshealthinsurance.com/
I even called IMG to ensure that this guy is an authorized re-seller/broker for the insurance.
Additionally, I did not find any insurance that covers pre-existing conditions. So just pray that they are healthy during their stay in US.
Yes, it is little expensive, but better peace of mind with comprehensive. If you do a local US insurance, then it is easy to get the insurance paper work done, when needed, rather than doing an Indian based insurance, which may need additional paper work and money transfer may get delayed.

Dear Friends,
Got Green cards and Welcome notices for me and my wife .
Surprisingly no uscis e-mail and online status is still "initial review"
Our journey in short :
How long in US : 10+ years
First Labor in 2002 . Changed job in three years before approval of labor
Second Labor in 2004 . Approved in 2007
Filed I140 and 485 - in July 2007
Since then I was enjoying EAD / AP with no complain .
I donate to IV now and then , but for some reason only once (for few days) got access to IV-Donor Forum . But always had a faith that IV is doing good work .
From non-donor IV forums and other forums I noticed that USCIS are transferring leftover Visas to other EB categories . I waited to see some thing coming to EB3 but ......nothing came .
My Lawyer told me that I can port to EB2 and it is a normal a process.
1. New Perm
Filed in Feb and approved in 10 days ( Prep work takes 3 to 4 months before filing )
2. EB2 I140 (TSC)
a. Filed in March - Premium Processing
b. My Lawyer sent interfiling letter along with I140 filing
c. Approved in 7 days (A# and Priority Date retained)
d. Same week got Green Cards and Welcome Notices:) - Super-fast Approval
e. No email and no updates on USCIS website
Not sure about the USCIS and Lawyer fees . My company paid for every thing.
Hope every one get the desired freedom asap and don't have to wait like me for 10+ years
Wish you all the best ......to everyone who is waiting for GC.
Thanks,
Jimytomy

You file 485, You file for AP and EAD, You get AP and EAD, You haven't used either yet.
You exit USA, You return to USA using AP.
Your I-94 now says "Parolee", Your status now in USA is "Parolee/Pending AOS"
Your Work Authorization for SAME (continuing) employer is H1-B
A.K.A. NO NEED to use EAD.
There is NO SUCH THING as H1-B Transfer
Every H1-B filing is a new one, USCIS checks if
1) You have valid remaining 6 year period at the time this new H1-B that they have received AND
2) You have been counted against the H1-B before in the last 6 years or not.
So now after I-94 says "Parolee/Pending AOS", You CAN
A) Extend your H1-B with the SAME EMPLOYER provided you have time left in your 6 year window
OR
B) File a new H1-B with a DIFFERENT EMPLOYER provided you have time left in your 6 year window AND you are counted in the cap
OR
C) Move to this DIFFERENT EMPLOYER WITHOUT filing H1-B by using your EAD.
in scenario A) your status CHANGES from "Parolee/WaitingAOS" to H1-B with SAME EMPLOYER once you receive your new I-797 that has I-94 at the bottom, you keep working on current H1-B that is being extended
in scenario B) your status CHANGES from "Parolee/WaitingAOS" to H1-B with DIFFERENT EMPLOYER once you receive your new I-797 that has I-94 at the bottom, you start working on new H1-B receipt notice until that gets approved and then on the new approved H1-B
in scenario C) your status STAYS "Parolee/WaitingAOS", you start working on your EAD which is NOT tied to any employer.
Many people FEAR that they should CLING ON TO H1-B "just in case" 485 is denied. Well that fear is not well placed since if your 485 is denied at any point in either scenario A) or B) even though you may remain "IN STATUS" you probably have run out of 6 year clock by then. Conversely, in scenario C) in case of 485 denial, even though you may temporarily become "OUT OF STATUS" you can immediately file H1-B with the working or a different employer to get back "IN STATUS" if your clock has not expired by then.
between scenarios B) and C), scenario C) is simpler and easier as long as the job is same/similar if you are using AC-21.
Hope This Helps.
very good information. Thanks add78.
Small query. If I am in my sixth year of H1B today, and if I file for H1 extension,
1. with same employer, I actually got 3 years extension. (being 140 approved)
2. with diff. employer, would I get 3 years or just six months, or not at all?

Hello everyone,
I was just thinking about this the past couple of months and maybe we dont even need to ask for Green cards. MAYBE our approach should be "Let the H4s work". Once husband and wife can both work, the green card can take its time. Right now the Biggest problem with most people is that "my spouse cannot work!". Maybe if we lobby for h4s to be eligible to work that may solve the problem.
Now before this suggestion creates a HUGE "Dhoom", this is JUST a suggestion. The current political climate does not look like it is going to be easy in any way to put any provisions for Green card increases. Besides if the logic is "Let temporary workers be temporary", this approach fits in with that logic, coz we are not asking for GCs (permanent residency), just more temporary EADs.

No. "Canadian experience" is just a lame excuse, partially because Canada has a very subtle racism feeling, but mainly because the economy there is sluggish and weak. I have Canadian PR and lived there for a year seeking jobs. I have dozens of friends, some born in Canada and holding PhD in IT.
I recall very well when I landed there in 1998, I talked to a gentleman who was white, blue eyes. He was the counselor for a government placement program, an educated man. He grew up in Toronto; he reported to me that he felt that many employers in Vancouver, BC many times discriminated him based on his accent from the East. Another gentleman, at the same freaking day I arrived at the airport, was from England and worked in the financing sector. Again, I will never forget he told me "if you ever get a chance to go to the US, go immediately. Canada has no future". Then I met a girl the same day who told me she immigrated to Canada from the Middle East, but kept working illegally in the US. She said that living illegally in the US, with some restrictions applied, is way better than living as a legal resident in Canada. As my friend told me many times, Canada sucks. If you have a warm and sweet family back home and can get an OK job back home, think about it before going to Canada. You may end up there frustrated cursing your idea of coming here to North America. Of course if you come from a hostile place, extremely poor, etc, Canada or many other places should be a good option for you. That's different.
I would think IT experience is the same anywhere so taking it to canada should be ok? If not there are plenty of other management jobs there. It might be a new start but in a one year timespan you will be well established.
Is it just my wishful thinking?
As for masters, are you persuing MBA? How about PMP?

:)I have used AIG for my in-laws visit and didn't had to use it. Why can't we add them to our insurance as dependants? Did anyone tried this?
You cannot add parents to your insurannce specially if it is provided through your employer - the group insurance covers only nuclear family.
Using any India based insurance is extremely risky - I know a family that went through hell and finally paid $18000 to get urgent care for their mother when she developed some tremors - this was the first time she ever got those and the India guys said it is pre-existing and denied - later the doc in India found out it was a allergic response to the pollen in Vermont. How could that be pre existing ?
The other problem is with insurance recognition - most urgent care facilities do not recognize the India insurance or at the very least treat it with extreme skepticism - best is to use US insurance in case there are questions atleast you have a local 800 number for the hospital to call.
These are your parents and this is the US health care system - spend a few hundred more and be safe.
