You are right and I don't know the circumstances vicks_don had chosen to post this. As I posted elsewhere (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=43868&postcount=662), now the time is ripe to act decisively.
Note: I am posting this, one more time, in this open thread, as the above post is behind a login.
A small step for special interests ... a gaint leap for us
I had watched this forum growing by leaps and bounds over the past year. I personally know how the core group is acting towards our stated goals. Now an opportunity has come for us, the foot soldiers to act in unison. As the title of this post suggests, we will watch, observe how big brother is acting and will emulate the same.
In this connection, I beseech (implore, beg, request, ask, entreat, plead, press, demand) to watch out the efforts to introduce / incorporate retrogression relief for healthcare in the coming days / weeks. Read the block quote in full and you will understand what I am saying.

ADVOCACY ALERT - RETROGRESSION
There is a small window of opportunity for healthcare retrogression to be solved and we need your help. If ANYONE has a personal relationship with any of the following Senators please immediately contact HLG's Chris Musillo (cmusillo@hammondlawfirm.com, (513) 381-2011 Ext. 223).

The government's current Continuing Resolution continues federal funding until February 15, 2007. At that time, another funding bill must be passed. Similarly there is an Iraq War funding bill set to be acted on this Spring. Legislators have traditionally allowed urgent legislation to be attached to funding bills like these.
We have made inroads with many of these members' staffs. A personal relationship with one of the Senators would likely be enough to secure a Schedule A retrogression amendment as an attachment to one of these two bills.
The current strategy is to obtain a small Schedule A retrogression amendment (anywhere from 15,000 - 90,000 visas) in the Spring; we will then push for a permanent Schedule A retrogression amendment (Brownback amendment) whenever Congress considers Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Our contacts tell us that Congressional leadership is willing to allow the Brownback amendment as part of CIR.
But for now we have this small opportunity to secure 15,000 - 90,000 visas. Please contact Chris if you have any personal relationship with these Senators or even their most senior staff.

Let's watch out what is being worked out for and introduced for healthcare folks. We will forcefully demand the same kind of relief. We will question why such a special consideration. We will write to lawmakers, our employers, particularly the big and kind corporations, we will write letters to editors. Let's mount one more coordinated effort on this front. As always, let us act smartly and intelligently. The moment has come and it is now.
Please feel free to discuss this post, suggest ways and means, and we will crystallize our effort on this front. We can do it and we will do it.
PS: One suggestion is subscribe to Google Alerts for �healthcare� and �retrogression� and be kept informed.
Another is to write / call members of congress and pose a direct question / their position on retrogression relief to skilled workers stuck in retrogression.

Curios, is your employer desi. Wait for sometime, tell him that you need to go to your home country and need receipt notice to use your AP in return. Catch is you have to use your EAD & AP after return.
There's no catch at all.....according to my lawyer. He said even if you come back on AP, you can still work on your H-1B so long as it's valid.
Thanks,
Jayant

So you mean I should not even think of invoking AC21 EVEN after 180 days ?
go ahead and invoke AC-21, you are not necessarily going to run into the problems that poster faced (in fact based on anecdotes on Forums the AC-21 related denials by USCIS have gone down a lot since 2005, probably because of the yates memo that came out then calrifying all this). Try to stay on H1 as long as possible though (you dont HAVE to use EAD to invoke AC-21 and change jobs).
At the end of the day a lot depends on your luck. Some people get unlucky and end up with all this nonsense, some people end up getting caught in namecheck... they are both thankfully a small percentage of the cases, so dont let your career choices be decided by what USCIS might do. Take precautions where possible (staying on H1 etc) but do what you think is right for your career and family. The whole point of this AC-21 clause was to provide flexibility to the employee, make use of it.
P.S: I am also planning to invoke AC-21 to switch jobs.

Don't need to get excited. Nothing has changed.. Its again depend on you if you want to file and get it rejected and then be a part of law suit or if you just want to wait till Oct. But so far all these are rumers. and good roumers never become true..
But nothing wrong with being hopeful.
IS THIS APPLICABLE ONLY TO JULY 2 FILERS? FOR OTHERS, IS IT ADVISABLE TO FILE I485 NOW?

Can a spouse of a person on Eb3 apply for EB2(if eligible) and then port his/her application with the EB3 PD for the family?
I doubt you can do that. Labor and I-140 (stage when you port the PD) are person-specific and not for the 'family'.

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
As per the bulletin I read, USCIS has indicated they will reject the application without I-693 period. Hence search across whole of US; if need be. Remember another thing, the appointment with Dr. is always two times; first time they take your blood (for AIDS test); then they will call second time after the blood analysis is done; if everything is fine, they would sign the I-693 and put that in a sealed envolpe.

However, on both of our I-485 receipt notices, the Category shows up as "Unknown" ...Has anyone else faced any such thing...
Please advice.

Application vs. Use of EAD or Advance Parole:
Applying for and obtaining approval of EAD or Advance Parole does not affect the 485 applicant's "nonimmigrant status" including H and L. However, once the alien starts work using an EAD or travels on Advance Parole, the alien is considered no longer in a nonimmigrant status including H and L.
I didn't know if we use AP we loose H1, any comments Seniors?
To my knowledge once you use AP or EAD we loose our H1B.

Hi Guys,
I need your help on this. My cousin is running this small IT company in india and he mentioned that when US client sends their money to India via Pay Pal or some secure money transfer , they are charging them 4 % of transfer amount.
He ask me that what could be the best way to avoid this fees , some of the option that we thought about,
1) If they (cousin's company) open an bank account in USA and utilize this to transfer the money to indian bank account - Would they still need to pay US tax as money is being deposited into the US account?
2) If I utlize my bank account - I think in this scenarion I have to pay the US tax for whatever money the client is depositing into my account in order to make this legal transfer
3)If US client utilize remit2india, ICICI to transfer money which I highly doubt
I appriciate your responce on this.
lol you are complaining about 4% tax? :)
1. not sure about this...normally you need a SSN or TaxID to open a back account here...however some banks dont require it...which is what illegal immigrants exploit.
so if its done without a SSN or TAXID then you may get away without paying tax.
However some companies wont pay you if you dont have a TaXID or SSN
2. worst of the 3 ideas...cause u will be paying individual tax rate...of around 30% or more

what is the deadline for the final letter and when can we start the campaign.
Also I would really appreciate if someone can post the instruction on how to send the fax.. step by step so that the non IT layman also can do that.
Please keep bumping this post and put a poll on this thread or start a thread just to get the count on how many did it.
But...I'm not comfortable with subject, that is starting with a question.. ( reply to svn's post)
IMO, it might backfire as...'What da xxxx is in it for legal immigrants?'( depending upon ones mood at that time)
I'm more for a lowered tone...request, that is.
Thanks hsingh82! for the post and validating the site.

ask lawyer to file MTR and resend response to RFE along with it. You should get a quick response (within 4-6 weeks). If MTR is denied, ask to file appeal, but sometimes it's better to change employer and start from scratch. Appeal can be a long process.
