One more question.
Where do you file if you are filing at the Texas Service Center?
It says:
USCIS Texas Service Center
P.O. Box 851182
Mesquite, TX 75185-1182
However Fedex/UPS will not deliver to PO Boxes. So does that mean we can send it ONLY via USPS?

Here is my list. #1 is unprobable till 2009, so may be we can work on 2, 3, 4
1. Need a legislation change (to increase visa numbers).
2. If the above is not possible, recapture unused visa numbers.
3. If 1 & 2 not possible, exempt spouse and children from visa number counts.
4. If 1, 2 & 3 not possible, then atleast get them to disclose country wise backlog data, so that there is no "cheating" in visa bulletins
I know everyone wants to get out of this state called as "PROBATIONARY LIMBO". The real solution is to eradicate retrogression and at the earliest. For this to happen, we need some legislation in our favor.

Got the same letter from USCIS asking for $5000. If they are asking all the people who sent this request the this kind of money... I wonder how much money they are expecting from this "Program Writing" thing??? IV and We all have to question this insane tactics and this needs to be exposed to press and politicians. I don't think Murthy or AILA or some others do any benefit to us it is already proven many times.

Thank you all very much for answering my question , I feel much better now.
Just a quick follow up.
I am assuming she can continue to work on her OPT till we get our EAD cards or her H1?
Thanks for your response.
Yes, certainly your wife can apply for I-485, that has nothing to do with your whether your wife is on F-1 or H-1.
Her H,F etc. status continues independently of the Adjustement of Status petition. (Yes she can file even while in F-1 as she is not the primary beneficiary but your dependent for I-485)
Infact as soon as your wife get's her I-485 receipt, she is legally in status even if she loses her F, H etc. status.
Moreover I can say all this since I know someone who is an exact similar situation.

Well majority of the people on this thread and forum is finding this as just cause, I am totally for it.
However no one is sure if this logic will hold water. Well none of us are lawyers, thus our arguments for or against doesn't hold. Someone said at the start of this thread that let's consult some big lawyers.
People are ready to contribute (including me) and I personally think that IV Core will be the best forum to take this up with lawyers. They already have an existing network, have folks that have participated in efforts related to legal immigration,
To IV Core
--------------
Country Quota is single biggest reason for retrogression, Have you guys (in the past) discussed with lawyers if removing Country Quota for EMPLOYMENT BASED can be legally challenged ??
If this has not been discussed do you guys think some one from lawyer forum (one that is on IV) can research on this ??
If above research shows things can be challenged then let's get it challenged through some esteemed lawyers !!
Also since so many people (once again including me) are ready to contribute, IV can become forum to raise money for this Legal challenge...like another pool.
I am sure people have talked, discussed about removing country quota in the past. However I am not sure if serious effort have been made to see if this can be challenged and that is the focus we all should have.

I am one of many many and happy to see this development.
I am puzzled.
Just would like to remind you all , only couple of months back, there was a great optimizm of CIR .. but today we know it is in stalemate.
So I think this time around we should be cautious. I have a question... What is the gaurantee that this bill is not to increase H1-B alone? Sorry If I am not being optimistic here.
I request, Our web faxes clearly state why we support SKILL BILL... If I read right and remember it well, this Forums goal is to reduce retrogression/backlogs.
Now to be positive I am copying an extract that was in quotes in press release ..
“To our detriment, current policy mandates that we educate and train these brilliant individuals and then send them away to other countries to compete against us.”
Thank you IV for your efforts.

You are right but unfortunately history has thought us that when it comes down to GC versus H1b everybody is willing to throw GC under the bus to get H1b provisions.
This current bill is no exception, h1 increased from 65,000 to 115000 with triggers to increse it to 185000, but no provisions for green cards.
a exclusive emendment with GC will be the only way out. nobody is offering such amendment and if somebody offers it might be ordered to lie on table.
Text of almost all filed amendments is available in congressional record on Thomas. This one has been available since Friday.
S.A. 1249. Sponsored by Maria Cantwell and co-sponsored by Cornyn, Leahy and Hatch
It creates a parallel merit-based employer sponsored category without touching the existing merit-based self-sponsored category.
The merit based self-sponsored category is the crappy points system. This is in parallel to that, without touching anything in points system. They have created an exact parallel replica of today's EB1, EB2 and EB3 system with labor certification and the whole enchilada where you need employer sponsor and there is not points or anything.
EB1 = 33.3%, EB2 = 33.3% and EB3 = 33.3%. Definiation of EB1, EB2 and EB3 would be the same as it is today.
Total quota of 140,000 with automatic recapture of previous years unused GCs.
Exemptions for US masters and non-US STEM masters with have 3 years experience in that STEM field.The risk factor:
Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
The exact same radioactive provision for H1 quota is also in Lieberman-Hagel amendment 1242.
This will sink both of them unless either there is some inside deal going on that we dont know, or they strike out the H1 issue from this on the floor of the senate at the last minute and be content with H1 quota of 180,000.

I have had this query before. I had an H1B stamping on my passport for a company I never worked for. (Company A)
But, when I applied for a H1B for a different company (Company B). My lawyer asked me if I ever worked for them and received any salary from them ... this was a RFE on my H1B case.
All I did was replied to my lawyer with a negative answer to both questions (worked, salary for Company A).
I got my new H1B approval I guess within 30 days of that RFE reply.
You might want to contact a lawyer to draft a reply to USCIS though. I do not have a copy of the letter to provide to you ... Sorry!

I am Eb3 Mar 2004 and I am planning to wait until the Oct dates before making any decision.
But there is a deeper problem that I see.
IV had been extremely instrumental in making the immigration issue heard outside our community and taking it to the ears of the people making decisions.
Now, IV, from what I am hearing and am seeing (by openly not supporting the Eb3-I agenda (pappu making comments about what is wrong with the EB3 word petition)
is interested in pushing the Eb2 agenda only.
The core team explanation that Eb2 rollover nos are provided to EB3 and that is why they cannot help it, is baseless.
If everything in the past was to happen as per the process, there would be no IV at all.
Also, in the recent past, EB3 was available when Eb2 was Unavailable, so the rollover argument is wrong.
Now, if IV is definite on not providing support to the EB3 community, it is time to rethink.
I do not have a good feeling about the EB3 to EB2 conversion (it is basically going into unknown territory).

July 2010: are these clause new this time?
#1 :
" Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. "
that means per year max of 25620 people per country can get GC ?
#2 :
*NOTE: For July, 2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are available to applicants from all countries with priority dates earlier than 01JUN07. 2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are available to applicants chargeable to all countries EXCEPT the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC and MEXICO with priority dates beginning 01JUN07 and earlier than 01JUL08. (All 2A numbers provided for the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MEXICO are exempt from the per-country limit; there are no 2A numbers for the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MEXICO subject to per-country limit.)
--- #1 and #2 sounds opposit. am i understanding it right?

Its kind of confusing to make a one time donation.. and there should be two more options of $25 and $50 for one time contribution....
Can anyone tell me how to contribute one time and for the amount not mentioned on first page..
I think we should follow Hillary and Obama's grassroot campaign, whereby asking for smaller amount and that way make people more willing to contribute in smaller amounts...

Hi Mirage;
What is the new expdate on your new card (if you already have it in your hand)? dose the 1 year ext is from the last date of your current/old card? or 1 year from the date the new card was approved.
My AP was from last expiry date.. Not from the day it was approved. Its the same case with EAD also...

I didn't attended because recently I had a new boss and he was monitoring my daily schedule and being in H1b and coming so close to filing I-485, I was just waiting for my EAD or I-485 cheques to get encashed. On 21st Sep, they got encashed. Now I am bold enough to take a day or two as vacation and attend rally if organized in eastern part.
I did paid 50% travel cost to one of our member from CA.
Sorry for not attending this time, will do it next time.
hello all, could not attend due to work schedule and a baby due any minute!! but am contibuting monthly and sponsored a student from houston. way to go iv amazing effort!!!
I was 100% determined in the beginning to attend the rally, but could not for the following reasons.
1> I was in Dallas and family in SoCal for last 9 months(from Dec 2006 to be precise). I used to meet my family every other weekend. Was trying very hard to find a project in Socal, and finally I got one where joining date was Spet 13th. I could not dare to ask for leave in the very first week. To tell you the truth it took so long b'cos of H1 status, everybody wants me to transfer my H1 or they are looking only for GC/EAD holders. Hoping to get EAD soon.
2> My husband was planning to attend but somewhere in Aug last week we got FP notices and date is Sept 18th. The FP letter clearly mentioned that postponing might cause delays so we decided that he also has to drop the idea.
Of course we contributed towards the rally.
I am very proud to be part of such excellent grass root organization and now since I am in Irvine I can be active in Socal chapter.
Also we are eager to join in the next rally and have total faith in IV leadership
IN WHATEVER YOU DO DO IT WITH YOUR HEART - FOLLOW YOUR HEART
ANYTHING THAT IS DONE FROM THE HEART WILL PRODUCE RESULTS.
ONE MEMBER I KNOW FROM NY CHAPTER IS IN PATHETIC SITUATION - JUST GOT LAYED OFF, HIS COMPANY REVOKED HIS i 140 AND HE IS BACK TO SQUARE 1 ON GC PROCESS AFTER 5 YEARS, HE HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR JOBS ON A WAR FOOTING BASIS AND AT THE SAME TIME CAME TO ALL NY CHAPTER MEETINGS AND DISTRIBUTED FLYERS, ALSO HOPPED ONTO THE BUS AND ATTENDED THE RALLY. HE IS A REAL HERO AND I AM SURE SOMETHING EXCELLENT WILL HAPPEN TO HIM
NONE OF THE EXCUSES HERE SEEM GENUINE EXCEPT THOSE IN WEST COAST WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL
Above excuses seem perfectly genuine to me. I had a court hearing myself. I applaud your friend's sincerity in attending the rally and I also applaud everyone who attended for that matter. But, IMHO, you were too quick to judge/question other people's genuineness.

My PD is Dec 2006. I got my EAD 15 days ago and the card is valid for 2 yrs. So the guy that approved my card doesn't believe Dec 2006 is a possibility this year!
You should be EB10 and not EB2! Some folks in this forum are really crazy!
There is no relationship between approval/duration of EAD and movement of PDs.
By the way, since India won all the previous encounters with Pak in world cups, India will win on Wednesday!

Sorry that I could not reply sooner. In this case, I went ahead and did an Info Pass appointment. The officer there went ahead and gave a 1-year temporary stamp and said he was ordering card production. This was in July and I am still waiting. My lawyer said "congrats"! No idea how to handle this going forward. What happened to your case?
Well, I had the same situation. Me and my wife, we both received our green cards one fine day. Needless to say I was overjoyed for few days until my attorney called and explained the cons. He told me that this was clearly due to clerical error. Legally, they cannot approve your petition until PD is current. There are some new QC systems in place at the CIS and you should not risk your status if you have an honest intention of staying in this country.
He said CIS can come back any day and revoke the green card if the system realizes that your card was illegally issued. At that time you may not have any option but to return to your home country within days.
So, my attorney contacted AILA and through them got hold of the immigration officer who had approved my case. CIS immediately recognized the error and asked me send the cards back so it can be destroyed. I finally got a letter from the Director of Homeland Security apologizing for the error and appreciating my honesty (well I wasn't that honest really, it was my attorney who brainwashed me).
On a lighter note � I took a photocopy of my green card and kept it in file; I stare at it sometime when I am frustrated�.

CIS immediately recognized the error and asked me send the cards back so it can be destroyed. I finally got a letter from the Director of Homeland Security apologizing for the error and appreciating my honesty (well I wasn't that honest really, it was my attorney who brainwashed me).
On a lighter note � I took a photocopy of my green card and kept it in file; I stare at it sometime when I am frustrated�.
