Like RAgz4u said, with a tight rope walk, it will be extremely difficult to get our amendments to pass.
Without that, even if the bill pasess and lets 12 million undocumented
folks get in the line, it is drastically going to clog USCIS which
may screw us up badly.
So what good is the CIR if our amendments dont get in ? Seriously....
Maybe we are better of without the CIR if our amendments are not in it.

Gave in and sent PP by Fedex yesterday for Schedule A, grp 2 case.My attorney did not advise me to PP nor did a legally brain I turn to for advice. He said its likely that I would get approved even during retrogression.
But I decided its better to know sooner than later, preferably before spouse started using EAD, and if a miracle happens (who can prevent miracles?) the 485 could also get approved concurrently with the 140.... And because I have 13 days more before retrogression hits. And because I saw people reportiing really qiuck turn around after PP. My employer was willing to pay half as well...
Well plus I did not want to be stuck in the general EB2 pool (India) which looks like its a black hole. I have an approved labor from 2004 there.(yet to file 140 for that one)..so didn't see a reason to be stuck there with a 2006 PD.
I still wonder if my reasons were sane and if my hasty action mght prevent my spouse from working -- if the 140 gets denied...Well, we'll take it as it comes..it may mean goodbye to the US or something..
BTW as far as I know, retrogression doesn't start till November 1st.

Infopass appt for Interim EAD was not helpful at all.
They suggested the same that I did earlier, ie to fax USCIS hotline about my situation along with letter from emp saying that I am at risk of losing job.
I have done that several times, still no luck.
My EAD expires on aug 30th (yah, just 2 more business days).
Did everything in my hands, now just prepared to lose my job.
Surprising thing is I saw 2 soft LUDs on aug 25th and and 26th but still no approval nor RFE, case status still pending.
I know they are looking at my case, but doing nothing.
My wife's EAD was approved a month ago.
I asked my lawyer (from a big firm) if I will have a case on USCIS in case if I lose my job. She said, USCIS is famous for this kind of processing for 1000's still the cases wont stand against them.
I wld appreciate any suggestions/thoughts?
Efiled @ NSC on may 19th.
FP on july 3rd, still no approval.
My current EAD expires Aug 30th.
1) Requested expedited processing via phone.
Received email saying to wait for next 30 days.
2) Called NSC, agent gave a fax number and asked me to provide Emp letter.
Faxed the Emp letter and also a covering letter.
3) 2 weeks passed, still no reply, called up NSC again, explained situation that I wld lose my job if i dont get EAD extension by this month end. She opened a Expedited request and told me to wait for 10 days.
4) As a back up, I also took infopass appoint for next monday (90 days will be over by then)
Believe me, its not easy going thru these phases.
I do not know how to reach my congressman/senator, Anyone here, pls let me know. I am from fremont, CA.
Regards.

Your lawyer seems to be incorrect on this. You may want to consider getting second opinion.
AC-21 can be invoked on H1 as well as on EAD. Your choice.
Many times, joining second employer is relatively easy on EAD as it involves no H1 filing (less paperwork), but using EAD requires one to travel ONLY on AP.
Using H1 is more peace of mind. If for some reason I-485 is denied, one can in US (and work too) until H1 status expiry date and handle appeal more effectively.
Hope it helps.

Thank you for this information.
I still have about 2.2yrs left on my 9th yr 3yr H1 extension. So if i don't need EAD when i use AC21 do i just file AC21 or do i need to transfer H1 too? And i guess this means even after i invoke AC21 i will still be on H1 status which is what i prefer.
Also is there any CIS links stating we don't need EAD to invoke AC21 so i can talk to my lawyer?

First of all learn to "conduct" yourself in public before working for the semi conductor industry. What is gulti mentality pls explain? Second of all you chose to come here with the constraints that were imposed on you, did you have the balls to question the immigration officer as to why your wife could not work? If you think this is hell my friend you are in for a rude surprise.
When you want answers for your question there is a method for asking it, pls follow that method and you will get your answers, there are more people willing to help here than you will find anywhere. Ranting about communities will get you no where, now apologize and ask your question, someone will answer.
Gulti mentality was something that guy(malibuguy) was talking about . Thats what i meant by Gulti mentality . I just started with a simple question "WHATS THE MOTIVATION FOR CONTRIBUTION(MONEY AS WELL AS TIME) FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T APPLIED FOR GC " !! Was that offensive ? I don't need answers for specific questions. I just need to know what IV is all about ? ? BTW, i have balls to ask anything to anybody if it makes sense(immigration officer is not making rules) .

I second this. It will take 1 more year for USCIS just to come out of 2001 for EB3 I unless 5882 passes!
I kind of agree with you. Hope USCIS starts moving faster on applications at-least after that 1 year time frame.

If the USCIS cashes the checks and then returns the packets (total $1490 in my case), is there any legal recourse to get a refund from them? Since they are pretty much doing whatever they want, this thought just occurred to me.
I don't think they will cash any checks. They know at least not to do that.

If you want OCI, there are a few hoops to jump through -
1. Apply for an Indian passport first.
2. Once the Indian passport is issued, apply for the US passport.
3. Return the Indian passport after the US passport is issued. The consulate should return the Indian passport back to you, but keep a photocopy in case they don't.
4. Now you can apply for OCI on the grounds that your son once held an Indian passport.
His child is born in USA and thus his child is US Citizen and so he can only apply for US passport. He can not apply for Indian passport for his child.

Research has shown over and over again that "talent, mental capacity, innovation and learning abilities are distributed evenly among different races and ethnic people..."
So there is no dearth of talent in south asia or any part of the world when compared to US or west. It's just that there is a difference in harnessing that talent...
Look at this way...You might like indian classical, but you might not appreciate western opera...That does not mean that western opera is not upto standards, or vice versa...AR Rahman's music is exceptional...no doubt about that...Because of the way movie makers want in India, it is geared towards indian market...It would be suicidal for indian movie makers if they ignore that...
Moreover, until recently, there was no separation between movies and music...Music is pretty much wedded to movies and vice versa...Whereas in the west, music is a separate entity and an industry of it's own...If you have a separate entity like that, it is easier to put your skills in a variety of ways and therefore easier to showcase your talent and easier for others to spot the talent...
Also, in India, movie industry is more paternal of nature...Barring few exceptions, irrespective of talent, some actor/musician, etc. get the roles because his/her family is tied to the industry...(Although it's slowly changing now)...Because of this, you might not get the best talent even though it's out there. Ofcourse, in the west also, you might see the same here and there, but IMO, it's more prevalent in indian cinema...
Lastly, spotting talent greatly depends on the director. In India, we hardly have exceptional directors...Also, I suspect the directors in India are given as much freehand as we hear in the west. If I remember correctly, it was said that it was an accident that AR got the chance in the movies by accident...I think ramgopal (/or maniratnam) (when he was yet to make name for himself) wanted ilayraja to score his movie way back, and was told that he was busy...Stung by it, the director brought AR and from there, the rest was history...
But nonetheless, better late than never and AR achieved it in a big way by winning two in a night...

When we conducted D.C. rally, there were roughly 1500 people attended. Each member has his/her own reason for not attending the rally.
The reasons could be, taking a day off from work or to far from their place etc..,
As a first step��..:)
Why don�t we plan for rally on the same day, same time at various major cities? This would enable members to attend in their respective cities.
We knew that, we are 25K+ members strong and can hold rallies/protests, where we have (major cities) at least 100+ members.
We must invite media and local US leader�s for rally and show our strength and request them to work towards the Green Cards.
Why don�t we plan for a rally during the this Christmas season?

Hi,
I have a question about leave of absense. Does it mean that you are still employed with them if you apply for LOA? If yes then you cannot work for another employer at the same time, not on H1B atleast.
I would like the gurus to share their opinion of the following option:
Join the new job and start working there. If there is an RFE in future then you can go to your old employer and ask for a offer letter (with the promise that you may or may not joined them) and also one from your current (old) employer. If the adjucating officer says that the letter from the current employer does not qualify under the same/similar category then you can show him the letter from the old employer offering you a job. This will satisfy the requirements of having a job offer at the time of adjudication. Though in this case you will have to join your old employer.
Gurus: Is this possible? Or are there kinks in this theory?

Must an H-1B alien be working at all times?
As long as the employer/employee relationship exists, an H-1B alien is still in status. An H-1B alien may work in full or part-time employment and remain in status. An H-1B alien may also be on vacation, sick/maternity/paternity leave, on strike, or otherwise inactive without affecting his or her status.
http://www.nrilinks.com/Immigration/VisaTypes/h1bfaq.htm#q8
>> Must an H-1B alien be working at all times?
No, but he must be an employee. H-1 employee can avail vacation, sick days off, unpaid vacation days as are available to ALL OTHER employees. Employer needs to document such policies. There are complex issues involved here.
Like you said in post As long as the employer/employee relationship exists this is the key part. How to prove employee relation - mostly by pay stubs and employment letter. Also, I-9 Form date determines when employee really reported to start the employment.
