I agree that 1/2 million people can't impact housing market significantly.
but look at the numbers, 1/2 million people means $100 billion untapped
market. Personaly I can't imagine any business community who wouldn't consider
this huge potential market seriously.(We are not poor
immigrants that they can ignore, we are professinals with good credit)
Who knows they might help a little to push our issues in DC or reach our goal of
raising 60K !
All IV has to do is send a simple letter to them. Whats harm in doing that !!!

Thanks Sanjay02.
Another follow-up question.. I'm planning to file for EAD, which passport number should I use in this form ?
If I use new one(which is valid), isn't it in contra with AOS application?
Has anyone faced this situation ?
At the time of filing anything, give what is current.
USCIS knows this issue and thats the reason, they don't keep passport as a parameter in decision making, except a rule that it should be valid for n months while you file an application.
Plus, when you get a renewed passport, in the last page, your old passport number and file number are written in the "comments/notes" column to help officers to refer the old links.

Doesnt make sense to pay $2500 for retaining the lawyer, they are trying to squeeze maximum out of you. If you are changing employer ask if the new company has an immigration lawyer and you can have him for your services. If they dont have any one you can engage services of your own immigration lawyer and have the new lawyer sign the G-28 form. Also please post the name of law firm and your employer so that others can be cautious.
I am changing my employer and wanted to retain the services of legal firm representing current employer. Upon asking that I want to retain their services after I leave current employer, I have been told to pay upfront retainer fee of $2500.
- Is it normally the case? I have been told that this fee will be put in my account with the firm and used to pay the charges for the services I request.
- If with God's grace my case is approved without requiring attorney's help, is this retainer refundable in full (I have asked attorney this question and waiting for thier reply). Anybody has a similar experience.

Not illegal if you are also present in the recording.
- son of a lawyer... not a lawyer myself.
hopefulgc is right.....laws vary by each state, but basic rule comes down to atleast one party on both ends consenting for recording. In this case, you have consented yourself for recording & recorded it. Also only if want to make it public this rule applies, If you are recording for your own reference it doesn't apply (disclaimer: consult a professional lawyer...)
Even I faced a similar situation with my manager (of course a desi). He would promise some things (like promotions) & the end of the year he would completely deny any promising like that. So I used my cellphone (most of the cellphones come with a voice recorder feature these days). Whenever he would take me for one-to-one review meetings, i would simply activate the voice record shortcut & keep my cellphone in my upper left pocket; later I when I played I laugh out loud for hours & hours for all the smooth bullshit he talks. Of course I never went public with them, kind of keeping them as secret weapon.

Folks,
understand IV is a non-profit org and they are not full time employees of IV and getting paid for what they are doing. Entire IV active members and sleeping members are one team with set of goals.
Probably from my experience with IV activities I beleive IV would have known this news a week before. When we are talking about this, they might be working out a plan with QGA. Leave them free and let them do their job. It is not an easy task for volunteers. Each member is in different location and they have to co-ordinate etc etc. I do not know why people are DEMANDING from IV as if they are shareholders.

Yes, it is possible.. However you can apply for extension for one year only. If your I-140 is approved, you can apply for extension for 3 years.
I suggest the following:
1) Apply for your I-140 at the earliest. There is a possibility that your I-140 will be approved before end of May.
2) If I-140 gets approved by end of May, apply for H1B extension for 3 years
3) Else apply for I-140 extension for 1 year based on your approved Labor
Is it possible to get 7th year extension on the basis of approved LC and pending I-140. My approved LC is PERM filed in March 2006 and approved a week ago. My 6 years oevr in Sep 2006.
Anybody in the same situation?

greyhair - that was something i tried on my own and i have never represented IV.
you are right we may sue congress but to win that is much much tough as even the judge is been appointed by the president which i guess is a member of congress :) but one can certainly try.
this requires a big movement for which IV is a very nice platform. that is the reason i keep shouting on this forum that nothing will happen untill you somehow make uscis held accountable or in this case even congress accountable.
Filing a Lawsuit against USCIS and CONGRESS together may lead us somewhere.

this post is a great example of diplomatically writing a lot and actually saying nothing ... way to go!
I beg to disagree - I think if you read between the lines it is quite clear that potential solutions are being discussed. A solution may be announced but NOT within the 24 hrs that we all are expecting. It may lead to a deadlock in which case the lawsuit would be one of our recourse.
I think we all got a little carried away by the 24HR time frame from Core.

can someone please give me some advices about this situation?
I'm in US since Aug 2006 with F1 visa (and F2 my spouse).
Nothing changed in 2007, and I didn't leave US at all.
Then in June 2008, my visa status changed to H1B (and H4 for spouse).
I am also receiving tuition waiver as employment benefits (I got the 1098T form for that).
Spouse does not have ITIN and never filed any returns in US. By the way, is there a problem I didn't request an ITIN for my spouse by now? should F2 always have an ITIN even if spouse has never had any income of any sort?
I have always filed 1040NR-EZ (for 2006 and 2007) but didn't claim spouse these 2 years (while on F2)
My question is whether I have substantial presence in US after 3 years or not, and which form should I file. How about spouse's (with no ITIN) tax forms? Thank you.
You are "dual status alien" for the purpose of tax filing. I came across same thing when I switched from F1 to H1.
This is one situation, where you ideally "have to Itemized" (and this is true for India and it depends on Treaty with every country, it is different for lot of coutries).
My sincere advise, just go to H and R block and get it done (this was the only year when I had my taxes done through H and R block). From the next year you will be "resident alien" and should be able to file using turbotax by yourself.
Good Luck.

For renewal they did not even ask me for any documentation. Renewed online, went to DMV and got it for 4 years.
I agree with ashkam. If you renew online, you can get it for 4 years. But if you go in person to DMV, they will issue based in EAD.

I have a masters degree in mechanical engineering and I have been working as a system analyst for the last 2 years, does anybody here can advise if I can apply for EB2?
If yes what are the chances that there would be an RFE asking why is masters needed, I do think having done my masters i am able to understand and do the job better, but there is really no specif need for it.
Has anyone else gone through this confusion? What are the things to keep in mind?
Is there a special need how the job requirement should be?
Please advise.
Thanks

Not a bad idea. No need to bring up all the talk (from other threads) about interim GC or whatever. Just a 10 year validity on EADs and APs for retrogressed categories. If nothing, it'll atleast highlight the situation (and save me $340 + $305 = $645 every year)
too farfetched? should we pursue it? a 10 year wait at the least given the current quota restrictions..

I called uscis and they have asked me to refile I-765. They said they will issue new EAD with extended dates. Not sure how long will it take. And i dont believe issuing 3 month EAD was intentional. They probbaly wont have any idea when the 485 would be adjudicated when they approve EAD.

Unfortunately lot of fresh PhDs who apply as EB-1 even after getting a faculty position are usually denied on grounds of lacking enough professional experience. It is not easy to be qualified as a n EB-1 even if you have a PhD. So, most of the PhD's I know are in the EB-2 queue.
Perhaps so. Because most ones I know (faculty) are in EB1. Actually
a lot of denials can be appealed and they can get EB1. But often faculty
arent aggresive about it and are fine with EB2. Patience is a virtue all PhDs
have (live on 17K annual salary for 5 to 6 years followed by 1 year as post doc on around 30K) and you guys complain of 50K salary.
However not many Phd are awarded each year and the impact wont be much. STEM Masters/PhD along with using of unused previous quota will
make a significant impact.
However based on past experience I doubt the Hispanic caucus will
allow this to pass. H1B/EB reform is the sweetener for the amnesty bill
they want to pass. Allowing this to pass leaves the most politically toxic waste to be left behind for CIR.
However we should always try our best. Atleast they are taking of
EB reform now.
