Well-said POSMd. It must have been very difficult to spend time (even it is 1 Hour a day) after your job towards a common cause. Voluntarily.
Hopefully those who are in frustration, though understandable, can come up with other better ideas to help resolve the problem. I suggest ,contact core Team and let them know how can you help with your time.
My understanding, progress on problems like this can be expected in Months not days.

So are you suggesting that everyone in EB3 ROW is unskilled professional?
No that is a suggestion that you are making ...
I am saying that every one in EB3 India/China/ROW is applying for a job that requires lesser skill than EB2 India/China/ROW
It is the job ....not the individual and not the country

Looks like USCIS is sending more denial letters on AC21 cases these days, a lot of VOs may not have been trained on AC21.
I took infopass this week to find out status of my case (AC21 responded to NOID and case reopened and lot of soft LUDs) - the VO was trying to be judgemental instead of looking at computer and answer my question. She said "If you change job and 140 is revoked, there is no way your 485 will get approved" and when I insisted her to look at computer and let me know status, after some nagging, she looked and told me case is pending and NC cleared and I will receive a decision sometime but not very soon.
Believe me, a lot of VOs do not know AC21 stuff.
In such cases, where the InfoPass people (IOs or VOs or whatever they are called) pass judgement on whether your 485 should be approved or not, does it help to bring a printed copy of the AC21 Aytes memo (issued in Dec 2005)along to show to them? It is an official USCIS document and it clearly states the following.
Question 11. When is an I-140 no longer valid for porting purposes?
Answer: An I-140 is no longer valid for porting purposes when:
A. an I-140 is withdrawn before the alien�s I-485 has been pending 180 days, or
B. an I-140 is denied or revoked at any time except when it is revoked based on a withdrawal
that was submitted after an I-485 has been pending for 180 days.

We have discussed a lot about things in this forum. Every person came up different thought, links etc and moreover our goal of adding I-485 in this feb bill.
After reading all the post mentioned by IV core, it is clear that no one can do anyting about it, there is no lobbyist that can force this to happen
So our struggle is useless, some may not agree to it because, they say they are pushing and trying to make voice that can be heard by the congress.
Congress did not listen to those million illegals on what grounds we expect our voice to be heard.
I say it again, our struggle is useless. When they wish then only something might happen.

I filed my 485 in July 11th and have received the 485 receipts. There is a possibility that I might get laid off before Jan 11 (180 days). My H1 B expires Nov 2008.
Questions
1. Can I stay legally in US if I get laid off in Oct 07 ?
2. How can I proceed with my Green Card process ?
I think this might be a repeat question, but would still like to get your thoughts.
Gagan
If your I-140 is approved and if ur employer could continue ur GC for more than 180 days as a future employee you could work for another employer on H1B till then and then the new employer could take over ur GC process. However plz check with an attorney though.

Good news for some and not so good news for others. I have been waiting for my labor for last 4 years and have still not got the approval on hand. So I am not ready to apply for 485. Where as a friend of mine who came to US last year and applied for labor through perm 2 months back has his approved labor and can apply for 485. I feel this is kind of unfair. The dates should have progressed slowly but steadily instead of trying to create a mad rush now.
I had a similar issue.. labor was stuck in the backlog ctr for 4 years.. Tired of waiting - i then directed my lawers to request the dol for a screenshot, ven though my h-1b was valid and i did not actually need it.. lo and behold.. 15 days after that .. it was miraclously approved.. I suggest you try the same.. keep me posted if that works.

This is so confusing. But I-129 does have a section to identifying new vs. continuing employer. Isn't moving to a new employer automatically means that new paycheck MUST come from new employer regardless of whether existing employer has canceled the H1B or not. If you don't intend to work for new employer they MUST cancel the H1-B or you should request them to cancel it ? Otherwise it will bound to generate the confusion that's apparent from the I/O looking at your petition.
I am thinking it can be interpreted either way, but nothing in the laws says one way or the other. It is all up to I/O's interpretation.
IMHO: Right think would have be:
1. Employer-X Files new H1
2. Employer-2 Withdraws existing H1
3. You changed your mind
4. Employer X Withdraws H1
5. Employer 2 Files a NEW H1

Let us not be too eager to praise IEEE. How many people have been able to get Green Cards without first getting H1B work visas? Most skilled workers need to get to the US on work visas before they can apply for permanent residency. So, cutting H1B visa numbers effectively curtails immigration too. IEEE is anti-immigration plain and simple.
rama0083
Guys and Gals,
Lets not bash anyone here. IEEE might sound anti-immigrant on the surface in true sense, its only anti H1B for all the right reason. I am not trying to defend IEEE but just getting the facts straight. Please check the attached file which is a letter sent by IEEE-USA president to Gov of Minnasota.

Wait for labor (go through labor pain..:-) ), do not get/expect promotion, Oh ya get your well educated spouse, Make them sit at home, make them feel unproductive, pay all your taxes, pay your social security BUT do not expect anything back, In the process if your kids age out separate them from you (send them back), If you wish to study pay highest fees, if you get promoted stand in queue again, pay frequent medical fees, AP, EAD fees, and yes YOU can always TRACK RNs for them. You can whine, post your opinions, when we change policies on the fly and create more hardships even if you have stayed here for more than 6 years, you can call up our customer service, be imaginative and get to level 2 and still get yelled at, asked to wait for 90 days (std reply), etc, but you can always go to good forum like IV and instead of working on your cause, create confusion, DEMAND action, not contribute....etc.

I understand the need to gain grassroots strength, But at the same time I expect that IV core members to do better than arbitrary curt responses directing everyone to state chapter on this forum.
I am sure IV core do better, like for example, well crafted sticky memo explaining the need for state chapters/grassroots strength and dangers of remaining only an internet based group of anonymous members and why agenda of the IV will not be discussed or revealed in this forum. There was one good post explaining this.
Such a professional explanation is required to gain the respect of the newcomer on this forum and his views and at the same time promoting IV objectives.
IV and rest of us need each other to get this huge problem fixed.
actually the need for grassroots strength and chapters has been repeatedly explained. and i mean repeatedly. please see pappu's initial post which continues on previous efforts. as for nebraska, we have actually worked with some folks on staring a chapter. ultimately after providing info and direction we need members to so the work themselves, set up a chapter, collect members, use forum threads to motivate, schedule meetings etc etc
all this sometimes takes time. that effort continues.
i have personally done the explanations on numerous occasions and explained that we are not an internet forum AND used the very words you speak- iv is nothing but you and me. without each one of us there is no iv. you will be surprised at some of the responses this brings.
please take a moment to understand that lots of members show up from time to time asking the same questions and raising the same old issues. that is why we encourage everyone to be involved. being involved with chapters and/or engaging with other iv actions etc does keep a sense of community and is a ready source of information and updates. not that many take the advice and so the message has to be repeated. most of the encouragement is done by active dedicated members not by the core team.
please also take a moment to reflect on the fact that active members of this organization are less than 1% of it's strength on paper. many of the remaining 99% are not "newbies". motivating such reluctant "highly skilled" members and keeping an organization of 25,000 together- and being constantly questioned on "results" (people want to know they will get x by date y BEFORE the participate- and i am quoting this) is a yeoman's task at the best of times for the small group of dedicated volunteers that are working everyday at cost to their jobs and families. at least two iv leaders have separately travel led to DC this week for key meetings. several others have spent the last couple of weeks and weekends in iv meetings, running booths at local events and attending lawmaker meetings locally.
please be constructive in your role, we can use your energy and enthusiasm, but an attitude of engagement is critical rather than asking why iv core is not doing this or that.....
