"This is truly landmark legislation produced by a big-league team," said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee that wrote the legislation.
"The next step is going to be the conference (with the House) and I believe we can do it," Specter said. "We're going to work as hard to get a bill to the president's desk as we did to get a bill passed today. And I predict success."

more often then not, they will make a mistake. Then you have to pay the USCIS to fix their own mistake by filing MTR. Not to mention unnecessary stress... That being said, everybody has different risk tolerance.
With so many people changing jobs using AC21, not only IO, everyone in USCIS will be aware of it. Let's discuss something other interesting topic rather when 180days start/end.
IOs will see your I-485, use some calculator/software to find out of 180days and then say pass/fail. End of the game.

The approval of h1 will not invalidate H4 visa. The usage of h1 visa invalidates H4 visa.
if you have h1 approved and don't join the company, then your h4 remains intact. Once you join a company on h1, you will fill out i-9 form, which informs the concerend authorities about your status change.
tabletpc,
Look at tv25's post. He/She alreday used the H1B...tv25 mentioned that she/he worked on H1B for three months. That would have invalidated her h4 visa.
tv25 shouldn't have entered using H4 visa that got invalidated as soon as the H1B was used.
This is a serious issue and as all others are saying, tv25 needs to contact an expert immigration lawyer.
thanks

Why do you need a new lawyer? You don't need any lawyer now for that matter, but the lawyer who filed your I-485 should not have any problem in continuing to represent you even if your last employer paid your GC processing fees. If you signed G-28, which most likely you did, your lawyer established relationship with you to represent you.
Infact today is my 2nd day at my new job. I have decided not to inform USCIS. And I am in process of hiring a new lawyer , since my previous company paid for my GC , the company lawyer asked me to go with different lawyer for all my future needs.
I will hire a lawyer and plan to file G28 form in this month.

Yes i called the original civil surgeon and the tb test is going to cost $15 only and xray $40.
I found the reason i got the rfe.
I had a copy of the last tb test report.
That civil surgeon forgot to check mark the tb test !!!!
He checked a different section !!!
I feel bad that i missed to read it!
I could have rectified the darn doctor then and there.
It was during the july fiasco. We were all in a hurry and tensed up.
Thanks for your update.
Once this rfe is cleared, i am going to sue that doctor for expenses!
I feel sad that people dont do their jobs properly in this advanced country.
you are complaining about the doctor who missed to check mark the tb test. Even you missed to fill in your profile.
Please update your profile.

Call 304-625-5590, option 3 to get status of your fingerprints only. No namecheck status on this number.
Also you need to have your A#.
This way you will atleast know if FBI sent the results back to USCIS.
FYI, LUD changed twice, the day we gave fingerprint and the day after.

I just saw your post in YouTube, it is very informative.
All the time that IV volunteers put in and the lobbying efforts don't come free. There is a cost associated with it. As tonyHK12, I'd rather trust IV and risk $25 a month than leave everything up to chance and hope. Just my 2 cents.

Hi Miriam,
I appreciate your efforts in highlighting this issue. It is a high stakes issue for would be future americans who respect the law, abide by it and wait patiently for their turn in line to apply for
green card, while maintaining legal non-immigrant working status during years of wait, paying taxes and contributing to social security. I would also like to highlight that in H1B status if one loses the job, he or she needs to leave the country in 10 days.
I am glad you are bringing the issue of legal immigration to light. After all, thats what everybody wants, immigration to be orderly and legal, but is it workable ? and why people trying to follow the law feel cheated and duped by the government, after waiting patiently for years and abiding to
the laws.
The Dept of State and Dept of Homeland Security(USCIS) acted against the interests of immigrants who are trying to immigrate legally. Legal immigration is the real issue. If it works, there
will not be a need to grant amnesty to millons of illegal alilens. The real solution to stop
illegal immigration is to make legal immigration work. Unfortunately, the government is going
in the opposite direction as evident by the actions of DOS and DOHS on July 2, 2007.
Is government sending the message to people trying to follow the law that, Following the law is
going to get tougher, just break it, become illegal aliens and we are working on an amnesty.
I would request you to get to the bottom of this and find out whether right procedures and laws were followed in using the visa numbers ? If not, then the conclusion is, government of United States failed in respecting and following its own laws. Is it not a travesty, that law breakers are
probably going to be rewarded with an amnesty and govenment is not respecting them either ?
We are resepecting it, following it and are getting the door slammed on us. I never thought, I
would see this in America. My impression of America has changed, forever.

Hello Ms. Miriam:
As a long time subscriber to the WSJ and one of the victims of the "bait and switch" by the USCIS and Department of State, I would like to thank you for covering the article in the WSJ. I would like to kindly direct your attention to the stand taken by AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Assoc.) and Immigration Voice (a non profit organization representing skilled immigrants). I feel it is necessary that the impact and the behind the scenes maneuvering at DOS be covered by a respectable publication such as the WSJ. May I point you to some of the links on the internet. Some are yet-unverified rumors. I hope that you will use your journalistic discretion and power to bring more light to this issue

You have an approved I-140, so the PD belongs to you.
Find a job that requires either an MS degree or BS+5 years experience (this could very well be your current job). File a new perm. When it's approved file for a new I-140 in EB2 attaching the copy of the old approved I-140 asking to capture that date.
Then attach your new I-140 with EB2 to your existing I-485 application.

:)), oh well, Indian government spent money on our education and we left India we may never won't back to India,
why the hell he cares for our issues
he will be glad to know that we can't stay here, becausre there is huge demand in India for most of our skill set.
we are like Dhobi Ka Kutha Na Gar ka Na Ghat Ka,
I don't agree with 'eb3india'. Don't be on negative attitudes. Negative thinking will not gain anything. Think positive !
India Government will listen to us because;
1) If you stay here in USA, you will send money to your parents and relatives.
They will spend money and improve indian economy.
2) If you stay here and become rich, you may start a busness in india and employ indians and indian economy will grow.
3) You may invest in houses and properties in india.
So, If you continue to work in US and make money, Indian economy will grow
indirectly. Did you get my point ? Mr Vayalar Ravi knows this very well. He knows the earning potential on NRIs in US.

Good points: Here is what I think:
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
FOR THIS I HAVE DISCUSSED DETAILED PREDICTION IN FOLLOWING THREAD:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20863
- awareness about visa wastage
DEFINITELY A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT. ALL THE HAPPENINGS OF THIS YEAR (USCIS AND DOL DEPOSITIONS FOR IMMIGRATION BILLS ETC..) THERE IS CLEARLY MUCH MORE AWARENESS ABOUT VISA WASTAGE AND IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE TRYING REAL HARD TO AVOID IT...:)
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
I GUESS BOTH THESE THINGS ARE THE SAME. I THINK EB2 AND EB3 ROW WILL BE CURRENT BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AND EB3 INDIA AND CHINA WILL MOVE FORWARD SIGNIFICANTLY TO USE UP THE OVERFLOW (AS THERE ARE NO 485S FILED AFTER JULY 2007). HOPEFULLY MOST EB2 WILL GET THEIR GCS IN NEXT TWO YEARS. ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR FOR EB3 INDIA AND CHINA (ONLY A GUESS)
- USCIS efficiencies
NO COMMENT ON THIS: THEY PROVED IT AGAIN....THEY CAN NEVER BE EFFICIENT...EITHER THEY DONT HAVE RESOURCES OR THEY DONT HAVE MECHANISM TO USE THEM (LIKELY LATER SCENARIO)..AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT MAJOR RESTRUCTURING OF THE SYSTEM. EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING BECOMES CURRENT, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WITH PD IN 2001 AND 2002 STILL WAITING.
Bottomline: CHANGE is happening... Hope and prayers are helping... Good luck to all

"Representative Elton Gallegly (R-CA) introduced H.R. 133, Citizenship Reform Act of 2007, which would limit citizenship by birth to children born to at least one permanent resident or citizen parent."
Does this mean that if we do not have green cards our childern born here are not citizens. Am I understanding it right..
This bill will not even be discussed.

Champu,
I saw some of your suggestions in this thread. I need your suggestion on my case. I applied my 485 in July 2007 with an already approved eb3 I-140 (PD: May 2004). At that time, my 2nd EB2 I-140 was also in process but since I was not sure so I applied 485 with eb3 I-140. Later, I received my eb2 I -140 approved with the same PD of May 2004. Thus , I was able to capture my original PD (most difficult task!!). Since then, I and my lawyer have been sending letters to USCIS to interfile my eb2 140 with pending 485. We have not heard anything back from USCIS so far. I had opened congressional enquiry also and they also could not get answer from USCIS. But, congressman office told me that USCIS indicated that they will take most favorable 140 while adjudicating my case. They also suggested me to talk to them again when my pd is current based on eb2. Can u suggest as to what else can be done in this case? I appreciate your answer in this regard. Thanks for reading this long message.
