A quick net-worth calculator:
Wakes up and decides more action is needed -------------> +10 pionts
Considers two options:
Become more active at IV and help shape and lead effort ---> worth +100 pts
Open a new venue for influencing our future ---------------> Also worth +100 pts
Finally settles on an easy three-pronged third way:
Trash current volunteer leaders ----------------------------> -500 points
Offer no new ideas on what can be done--------------------> -200 points
Use words such as "zapata" in a post -----------------------> -50 points.
Here's how you can say sorry: Add a mew member (or contribute a dollar) to IV for every -10 points you have earned.
I think a change of leadership of IV is critical if we have to get anywhere. IV has not been able to achieve a single thing in all of its existence. Not a single thing, nada, zitto, zapata. Not disclosing the issues they are working on, not disclosing how the funds are distributed, not disclosing the lobbyist they are using. Who in the world calls that leadership!
That is the reason that no one wants to contribute. First get some results, show people results for what they have paid for. Then ask for more money. Most people I talk to are confident that IV will achieve nothing given their track record. I tried to convince a colleague to join IV. He bet with me that they will not be able to achieve even this filing I-485 issue. He bet that he will join and pay if they did.
I know IV works like dIVorced wIVes club and saying anything negative is taboo. Anyone saying anything negative is crushed with (p)curses. Only good mushy things are allowed here. So here it is: We will get our GCs by the end of the month. Hallelujah!
But I am writing this for the benefit of IV and please take this as constructively as you can. As a member, I have full right to suggest a change of leadership when I think it can help.

you never worked for X and has been working w/o break with #2 ... u said, I believe.
Write to USCIS simple explanation and show a proof such as HR letter stating your presence on active payroll continusly for all the term and run it through attorney, if you have. Else put together logically framed chronologically ordered history. Attach W2's for the years and demonstrate un-broken timeline.
If their is nothing to hid or falsify, ... don't worry about anything. Good news is your case is active. People here ( no offense to anyone) will split hairs trying to answer simple issue. Keep it simple and truthfull and nothing adverse will happen.

Hi guys,
This is what my lawyer said.
If you/spouse have used your EAD or are using your EAD then your "Current Immigration Status" is "Adjustment of Status Pending/Parolee". If not then it is either H1B or H4.
If you/spouse have actually travlled outside the US and re-entered using the Advanced parole, then your "Manner of Last Entry" is "Parolee". If not then it is what it says on your I-94 (H1B or H4).
You do **NOT** need the $80 Biometric fee for the Advanced Parole.
Guys,
do any body know what documents a minor need for reentry using AP?
Do they need EAD or just I-485 receipt is enough. please reply ASAP.
thanks

Jaime, your thought of having one more rally in Silicon Valley is a good one but again you are going to have the same crowd..!!
People in neighbouring states of DC did not make it , you tthink they will make it all the way to west coast! very doubtful!!
We should aim at bringing in more people to this family as possible..
Looks like a simultaneous rally on a weekend will be very effective!
And this time for the rally we will carry one one slogan banners
'SHORTEN THE WAIT FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS' or something similar!
just a thought!

I do not have paystubs from company B and C. If I have to reenter US, will that be a problem? Please help me out.
If you have to get visa stamping outside US then you only need to show paystubs for current employer. The CO will check if you have been in status throughout your stay in US and might ask you why you change employers so many times.

IV has not been able to achieve a single thing in all of its existence.
From Lobbying and Legislation (http://www.policylink.org/AdvocatingForChange/Lobbying/Legislators.html).
Be persistent. Lobbying campaigns rarely come to a definitive end.
If your proposed legislation is defeated, there is frequently another opportunity to reintroduce it. Don�t be discouraged. Often it takes several tries to pass a measure, especially one that seeks to bring about an important change.
If you win, do not get complacent. Monitor implementation and make sure your legislation is fully funded. Look out for opposition attempts to undo or diminish your victory by trying to repeal your legislation, filing litigation to overturn it, or seeking regulations to significantly weaken its implementation

Pappu,
Looking at the poor response, I am wondering if we should post it on other immigration forums to gain further momentum?
I strongly suggest this. Posting this on other forums would help a lot.

There is a logical fallacy here. What you are saying is:
Suppose country quotas exist to limit abuse
There are country quotas
Therefore abuse is limited
The very fact that you are complaining about abuse in the system disproves your proposition.
it's very easy to make assumptions of how the system works in this country when people want a solution that fits their own particular needs.
When people have been part of this society for less then 10 years; it is a very, very short time to understand how the system works and the whole history and what goes on behind the scenes.
I've said this in the past; many people walk around with eyes wide shut. Do some really exhaustive work of the history of immigration; the debates that happened when the laws got created; what has passed, what hasn't; what uscis/ice/dol is doing; request for evidence, denials, consulate refusals; underbidding of contracts, etc.; you may come up with different conclusions then what you may currently believe.

Hi guys,
I have just called the USCIS. They told me that the applications will not be rejected but just put on hold until our visa numbers will be avialiable ifor the nerw FY 2008.
In addition she told me that the Nebraska office is sending back the filing receipt to the applicants which it should not affect our h1-b visa status in case we are going to travel.
For the last part I do not believe her. Is there anyone else that can confirm that ?
Thank you.
Andrea
Everbody's posts here are speculations on what USCIS will do to I-485's filed on or after July 2. Everybody is trying to get an answer from USCIS. You called and got an answer DIRECTLY from USCIS which you doubt and don't believe. So what you want is for people here, who can only come up with speculations as to what USCIS's action would be, to confirm what USCIS already told you???
Geez.....you definitely need a brain check.

I guess there is very little follow-up on this issue.
Even I tried to get an SSN for my spouse (H4) and was turned down... I asked the lady on the counter to give me a denial letter and have it with me. Maybe it will be of some use later in this process.

We almost fell in to the Fire from the Frying Pan. Now that we are back in the Frying Pan, somehow it doesn't feel that bad of a place to be in. LOL :D
Well said. After having waited for almost 6-12 months for this bill to come to the senate, I am actually glad to see it fall through.

too tired to celebrate...but hopeful that something might yet happen that will do something with the retrogression. hubby is already complaining that he reached the top in his senior position and there is no more professional growth for him, so the ability to file I-485 (if it happenes) would be a golden one for both of us... he would not feel so chained by his employer and I will finally say goodbuy to this wretched H4 status.
Will see where things move in the near future and hope for the best..

Hey Bush,
Why dont you sign the immigration bill for US. :)
Your support is highly appreciated. I am also doing the same thing and had signed up for monthly contribution.
I would strongly suggest you to signup for monthly contribution and insist your friends too on this one. Update your signature with your pledge.
Good work, keep rocking. We need members like you.
I am really pained to read anands post.I admit that everybody has a right to speak, it doesnt mean that one has to demoralize and demean ones efforts and so many other like minded IV members.
I came to know of this site last december untill I met one of the admnstrator who had come down here for a conference.Since then I have advocated this site to so many people and in my company its a Fortune 500 company we have lot of diverse memberships like Indian ,Chinese and various other countries memberships in our company.In our indian club we have about 100 employees of indian working for this company.Apart from circulating the site I have made it a policy of calling up people on phone every weekend and telling them about this site and work lying in front of us to get it done this year.
Do you think that I am helping this site or the IV core.NO I am helping myself.So please be consructive and help the cause and help yourself.
If you are not really convinced about the direction of the efforts of the members of this site.You are entitled to walk out.Its a free country.But before you post any message give it a thought and think about the cause rather than people or IV core.

you are half right, the country quota laws were put much earlier than the off shoring companies, but remember that the retrogression only started in the last 10 years when those companies came in the picture and skewed the lines .. that's ur cause and effect!
I am in software and would be satisfied with resticting this rule to the software field, but feasibility wise, rules won't get micro-tailored this way.
I always tell myself i shouldn't go on with the discussion, but here i go again..
any 12 step process to quit?
So what? Just because they came and skewed the lines doesn't mean you can choose where you're born or when. the rule is unfair wihtout any reason. there is no graceful solution short of removing the quotas. anyway I doubt fairness is the reason you're so fond of this quota.
Here's a one step way to quit.
1. Accept that the reason you're defending this useless rule is that it benefits you.

If you have plans of doing an MBA in future, then Canada would be a better option than US. Otherwise as uma001 points out, doors are closed for most professions except 38 occupations.
H1bslave, in your case your PD is Sep 5 EB2. I see something in the distant horizon. PD of 2007 and beyond or EB3-India I see no hope.
Atleast you can survive on a lifeboat called EAD and AC21.
Note that list of occupations changes constantly. I lived in Canada for 20 years after coming as PR on point system. It works well there, if you think money is not everything. Education is equally good. People, of course are far nicer and friendlier. Even border immigration and custom staff show a friendly face and attitude..

How about fasting for a day or two during the holiday season around xmas?-maybe a relay fast running for a month or two with employees from big name firms taking the lead like microsoft fob's skipping meals on mondays to be followed by Deloitte fob's on a tuesday and so on? skipping meals to donate that money to starving people is a fairly common tactic used to raise money for worthy causes and one that would resonate with the average american easily. I can try to persuade a dozen of my coworkers to skip a lunch - ofc ourse this would work only if we get media coverage -the upside is the cnn/foxnews xenophobic anchors would find it hard to spin this one against us! Also, we should relentlessly stay on an agreed message which could even be just stating the obvious - like we have gone thru a process where employers have actually advertised and found no one suitable for the job etc..
