hey
I didnt mean to offend you... i really appreciate the awareness (and hope) that you have brought to this issue.
I apologize if my selection of words have hurt you or anybody else in this forum.
No offense taken. It just gets a bit frustrating when it feels like I am taking on all of this by myself. In fact, there have been a lot of frustrations in this process, but I won't go into them here, because most are personal and not relevant to the discussion. I haven't heard from the lawyers in two weeks, so I should probably touch base with them to see what is going on.

Swami : appreciate your effort ...but your post is , i am afraid , illogical.
"Once again, dont expect people to be courteous and receptive to courtesy overnight."
Why ?? because IV is busy fixing this mess for you??. I appreciate and value all that IV is doing but, 'Courtsey' is a basic expectation. IV, I am afraid, will NEVER earn the right to say " dont expect people to be courteous and receptive ". no successful entity will ever EARN that, leave alone a grassroots support seeking movement.
I assume you are not speaking for IV core and move on, we all have tasks to do .
good luck

Agreed. I think there are people like myself whose PD is in 2002 and are eligibile to move to EB2 after finishing advanced degrees and adding another 5 years of experience during the process.
It�s good that at least some of us are getting VISAs, instead of VISAs being lost.
However if this continues we could see a big movement to switch over to EB2 with or without porting PDs. This may in turn help EB3 :)
We need to make this a sticky thread, so that we can brainstorm and put best ways to switch from EB3 to EB2 w/keeping older PDs.

Transfer of the Earlier Priority Date : EB3 to New EB2
�MurthyDotCom
The ability to transfer priority dates from an earlier, approved, I-140 to a later-filed I-140 could provide an alternative for job mobility, both within the current employer's organization or with a new employer. This would be helpful for those who want to make a change but are not eligible to file the I-485 application because of retrogression. It also could help people who are eligible to change from an EB3 classification to EB2. One would be eligible to request a transfer of the priority date from the earlier-filed EB3 petition to a new EB2 petition once the I-140 is approved. The new EB2 petition would need to be based upon a new LC for a position requiring the EB2 level of education and/or experience. (Over time, many people with EB3 cases have become eligible for EB2 cases due to increased experience and/or education, and promotions.)
This strategy potentially could shave off a few years in the queue for available immigrant visa numbers. This may be particularly appealing to those who had EB3 labor certifications filed on their behalf long ago and have had their cases pending while they have gained advanced degrees, acquired several more years of experience, and/or are offered jobs at higher levels. Keep in mind, though, that this involves filing a whole new LC under the PERM system for a new job opportunity and that the employer must actually require the additional degree and/or experience for all persons holding that job classification in order for the new case to be filed as EB2.

Senator Hilary Clinton introduced an amendment to exempt apllicant's dependents from visa quotos, which will reduce the retrogression signifcantly, why Core choose the Coryn's not supporting Hilary Clinton's? She is very likly to be our future president.
Her amendment is only for family-based petitions....not for employment based petitions, it will do nothing to alleviate retrogression.

Problems will not go away. Such incidents may happen elsewhere or in the same place.
If Air France was genuine they should have made everyone stay in the same place or atleast talk to theie department of immigration and arrange a temporary supervised visa and take all people to the hotel.
They just did not care
Chanduv, I totally agree with you. I wanted to vent out my frustration and I did my part by writing to them. I wish those who agree must also write and let them know that they are not going to fly AF again. BTW, I am not going to fly AF even if the price of air ticket is competitive.

True, But I guess everyone is trying to hold on to any or all of these fading rays of hope.
On a lighter note, I did watch sausages being made, and I can't eat them anymore.
There are uglier things than sausages being made. For example, when Bernie Sanders gave a 30 minute speech to increase H1B fees and make H1B program useless, he brought a big chart and the whole enchilada to try to prove that H1B depresses wages.
However, in the starting part of his speech, he said he supports the bill.
The bill brings in 200,000 guest-workers each year (it was 400,000 before Bingaman amendment). However, according to him, that is just fine. When guest-workers come to US in numbers like 200,000 then they dont depress wages of the lowest income group in America. However, when hi-tech workers come here they depress wages.
This is the kind of logic from people like Bernie Sanders and Co. that is uglier than watching sausages being made. Watching sausages being made might hurt your eyes, but this kind of logic hurts your head and can damage your brain's neurons.

Why don't we concentrate on state chapters.. that surely makes some big difference. We were able to apply for I-140 and I-485 thats a huge blessing. But do we have enough time to motivate our EB friends to join us and meet the law makers, signing letters etc... If we have many active members we would have achieved something.

I called Kennedy and Cornyn. Asked them if they are aware of the issue. They are not. Did you call? Kennedy 202 224 4543, Cornyn 202 224 2934. I also aksed if Kennedy is going to send letters to two agencies as Rep Lofgren did as he is the senate immigration sub committe chair

What PlainSpeak says, whether you like it or not, makes sense (well mostly; I dont understand that . part.. you guys are making me learn something), and is healthy for debate. I recommend you man up and get a bit civil, so we can all at least look good.
Let us disagree on this, whats that supposed to be a back-handed negative comment?

According to the first guy I talked to, one has already been assigned upon the start of processing of the case.
I just called again and the lady was completely clueless about the whole July 2 fiasco. I will try again in another hour and hopefully I won't get the village idiot again.
For anyone interested in calling themselves here is the info: 1-800-375-5283 options 1, 2, 3 (and possibly 6 after that-I can't remember).
Visa is generally assigned to an application only if it has cleard background checks etc...and ready to be approved... They never assign Visa on receiving the application

go_guy123, since you have MS+MBA, you should seriously consider applying for US GC in EB1 category. I know a friend who had similar qualifications and he got this EB1 GC approved within a year. You need not be in US to apply in EB1 and you can do all the paperwork in Canada via consular processing. My .02 cents.
I dont think MS+MBA makes a case for EB1. Anyway I can look into it. Pease PM me some details/contact of your friend if you can give.
I know long long back in early 90s they were liberal about EB1, not any more.

Well, If you sign up for IV credit card, the contributor is not paying from his pocket. It's the bank, who is paying for him, and contributor will keep earning miles/reward point as with any other credit card so it should make ZERO difference for card holder.
Its like finding a advertising sponsor for any of the IV event,except this is one time effort.
the earning could be huge. lets do simple math.
Average CC monthly bill = $1000 , 2% of $1000= $20.
20 * 20k = 40K monthly contribution.
Now think how hard is it to raise 40K monthly using our regular fund raising ?
Basic problem with fund raising is, once person gets his EAD/GC , he stops visiting IV website, I am sure he/she still supports the cause by heart but it just happens that he does not visit this site and does not notice our fund raising drive ( and as a result, we call them selfish :p) .
But if he is carrying IV credit card , its very easy for him to pick up that CC and swipe every time he makes purchase and support the cause.
Hope you get an idea :).
-Naushit.
The subject line sums it up!
Once folks get past this hurdle, they will realize the need to get together and lobby for a change, and that we need to do it ASAP!
The IV credit card should be on top of your own contribution... there are no two ways about this... if you got an EAD after the July 2007 fiasco, you owe it to IV.
Now pay a portion of your newly gained benefits to IV to make sure you can gain more benefits, e.g. how about saving on your EAD renewal fees for 5 out of the next 10 years!

3) I did premium processing for H1B transfer for company C and got it approved. I haven't started working for them.
4) Now I have decided to work for company D. They are ready to do my H1B transfer.
Will that be a problem or do I have to go with company C? 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.

Hello,
I have a few questions regarding the application for AP for a dependent, and I would appreciate it if someone would answer them.
1. If the dependent is applying for AP, should I include the primary applicant's I-485 in the application packet?
>>> U mean 1-485 receipt notice then no, just apply the dependents i-485 notice
2. The dependent has an EAD. Is it necessary to include copy(ies) of the EADs with the AP packet?
>>> Yes, it shows the current status as on EAD.
3. If the previous AP has expired, is the applicationo process for a new AP different from that if a non-expired AP is being renewed?
>>>No, apply as renew, I had done this last time and it worked out alright
4. I was reading in some threads that the $305 fee will be waived if there is a pending I-485. Is that correct?
>>>No way man, we have to shell out(if you are july'07 filer), even otherwise does 305 really matter?? its not worth the hassle of rfe,denial refiling etc(just my humble opinion).If possible take a look at my blog post, might be helpful in writing a cover letter.
Thanks in advance!
