I would choose my "bedfellows" cautiously.
Once CIR has collapsed, he'll re-aim. Remember: Most of the "Right Wing" are looking for scape goats right now. The neo-conservatives' policies have failed demonstratively for the average, joe-sixpack American since the Clinton years and if they don't find some group to blame, they'll have to blame themselves. (Nobody wants to blame themselves) Savage represents the neo-conservatives.
If he is a bigot (as many right wing talk show hosts are) then he will easily be bigoted against us.
True, Savage is not for us. He is unpredictable as someone mentioned above. Today, he was quoting from an article which mentioned about immigrationvoice. He was reading the plight of some Mahesh ... . He said to go to home country. All H1B's came on a big lie. Oracle who is lobbying for H1and Mr Gates are all greedy etc. He was going on and on.

You are a citizen of one of the countries listed below, and the worker on whose record your benefits are based lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years or earned at least 40 credits under the U.S. Social Security system.
Thats the confusing part
This seems to indicate someone else will get benefit payments but not the worker himself / herself.
This part refers to family benefits, i.e. payments to spouse based on your SS contributions.
Question: Why Canada is not in the list of countries?

Following intresting info is listed on the immigration-law, wish it is true :)
"There has been going around a rumor lately that the USCIS was internally discussing retreat from the 485 rejection decision. It appears that this rumor probably started from the USCIS HQ order over the Texas Service Center to hold all the July 2007 EB-485 applications abeyanbce and not to return the applications to applicants. Unconfirmed sources indicate that because of the order, the Texas Service Center is not returning the EB-485 applications which have been received since July 2, 2007. However, there is no evidence that the decision is necessarily related to its potential decision to withdraw the rejection decision. At this point, its reasons are completion unknown. Please stay tuned. "
IS THIS APPLICABLE ONLY TO JULY 2 FILERS? FOR OTHERS, IS IT ADVISABLE TO FILE I485 NOW?

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Is LLC corp employer eligible to do H-1 transfer? I have an American citizen friend who has a LLC corp and work as an independent contractor. Can he file for my H-1 transfer and can I work for him?
His annual income is about 150 to 200K. I think he takes about 100K as salary and rest as company profit.
I have my 140 approved and 485 pending (>180 days).
Any potential risks with this approach?
Thanks in advance!

Great thread! By the way, you can't join the illegal queue anymore since you had to be illegal by the beginning of this year, and longer you have been illegal the better! Haha! So with your less than 1 year illegal status, you'd probably be still left at the end of the queue along with the legals. And if you've only been without status for a few days, you're probably screwed the worst!
This law is a testament to how poorly the Congress understands what they are doing. Instead of fixing the broken law, which needs to be cleaned up, simplified GREATLY, streamlined and made consistent with both itself and other laws, they're just adding more of the same on the top. This will make the law even more complex and even more people will fall in between the cracks in the future.
This proposal needs to be trashed completely, forget the small measures of raising the caps, etc... You're only putting a bandaid on a gun shot wound. They seriously need to go back to the drawing board and REFORM the ORIGINAL law.

I filed I-765 in January and got 1-year EAD last week. I called USCIS today and explained the error. It took a while to explain this to agent but he got it that this is a renewal application on the basis of pending I-485 without available visa number.
He filed service request for the error. As far as he knew, USCIS will send another EAD and send further instruction about 1-year EAD.
I filed EAD/AP together but the EAD I got is not a "Combo Card" (USCIS Term for combined EAD/AP)
I shall keep you posted.

you have to apply for extension hope you got the passport renewed.
Visa stamp is for entry, I-94 determines the status and length of stay. Even if the stamp is valid if I-94 is expiring you will be out of status.
If you have filed for I-485 then your status will become AOS.

Welcome hopelessinseattle!
I live in Seattle as well.
You are right. They do not tell you likely because employers enjoy the idea that people visa dependent many times turn out to be "more productive" for the company. This is just a nuance, but I can speak from my own experience that I used to work longer hours and demand less when I was on H1B. It is a fact.
Only time will tell. There is no lawsuit angle to be explored against this as far as I know.
It is interesting what other members reported about people being in denial, even when you clarify about the difficulties about the greencard process. I had my own brother coming here and his employer talked big about greencard, etc and he started making plans to bring his wife. I told him everything we have been through and he didn't pay attention to it. In the end it turned out that his profession was not even eligible for H visas.
Good luck to us all. God Bless America.
Tito
When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?

Hi,
I am a July 2nd filer - got receipts/AP/EAD and online status for I-485 reads-"case now pending at the service center to which it was transferred." All receipts begin with WAC. I believe the applications originally filed at NSC, were transferred to CSC and then CSC transferred I-485 back to NSC after approving EAD/AP.
Anyone, in similar situation has received FP notices? Please reply or PM me.
Thanks

stucklabor,
Thanks for your post. It's good to hear the perspective of a core member of IV like yourself. I understand your point of view but respectfully disagree with your definition of the greatest good. The greatest good will not be achieved by just passing the labor cert. stage. The greatest good is achieved once we have the GC card. Your effort on retrogression to benefit 250k & 200k is plausible. But you help them to pass one bridge, to just get stuck on the next. If there are 25k people stuck in name check at this time, imagine what will happen when the estimated 200k-250k reach that stage.
If the 25k spent in average 3 years in the name check, what will be the wait time for that massive population that are headed that way after retrog & labor cert? The EB process is a big picture and the greatest number will not get the greatest good until all these obstacle are resolved all the way to the end.
sroym, i think the point stucklabor was trying to make is, that currently most of the people are stuck in retrogression and labour which makes things far more unbearable than actually having an EAD/AP and such benefits. There is a whole thread on this discussion where members of all nationalities have complained about IV not taking the FBI name check issue seriously. I think the moot point that IV core members are focussing on is, the fact that retrogression is making life unbearable for just about everyone. Plus given the following facts:
1) A Serious Majority of the IV members are affected more by retrogression+labor as compared to FBI name checks. and
2) IV core members have full time jobs and spouses and are working pro-bono for the good of everyone and money collected is also coming in slowly and thorugh the IV members themselves.
These 2 facts mean that both time and money is at a premium and they have to spend it solving the problem they originally started to solve. Believe me, some of the core members themselves are stuck with the FBI name check issue for the past 2 years or so.
Given all these facts, you have to understand where IV and it's mission/policy stands. To my understanding the policy is "One step at a time".

There were about 600,000 AOS applications including the July and August filers. So that number less 60,000...roughly about 540,000 applications still pending with USCIS....
And 540000 @ 140000 per year is approx. 4 years!
Going by PD, 2001-2003 may get their GC by Dec 2008
PD 2003-2005 by March 2010
PD 2005-2007 by Sep 2011
Again, my assumption is even distribution which is not a reality. Every year, last quarter would be busy as USCIS would try to use up all the VISA numbers for FY and during that period it could be open for all atleast for 3-4 years; like June 2008 they may make it current for PD 2005 and June 2009 for PD 2007 .... And, come October dates would retrogress.

I think you can get a letter from employer stating that they can not employ you any more. I am not sure if they issue a letter to every person that loses the job. Just make sure that your intention to work with the sponsering employer is documented somehow .
I have an idea here ... just write an email to your boss or HR stating "how good company has been to you and how they helped you with your immigration process and given a choice you would rather work with the same company"
Take a printout of all these emails and save them if you still have a chance. You can use all these to prove if you run into any problems during the naturalization process.
Apart from these things collect the news paper clips or company wide emails that talk about downsizing. These things should help you to prove your intentions if there is a query about your intentions at the time of naturalization.
If you think company will survive for 5 or 10 more years , just keep in touch with your HR
I got a letter saying they can not give me my job back dated 5 days after my approval.
I show up told them I was approved, they say sorry we have not sold anything on those 3 months, we are doing bad, cannot take you back.
They dont have any problems with it and I can wait 10 years to become a citizen if that is what it takes.

With dates current (even if they are for a few months), I wand this CIR to just go away. I would rather take my chances with the old process, then face something that is highly likely to be detrimental to us.
Come to think of it...If I (most of us) have our EAD's (spouse can work, job is portable)...would I really mind waiting to get my GC for 5 years...

I disagree with waitingnwaiting. I had got 221G about 5 years back. I work for one of the fortune 500 company and had all the paperwork sent by our company's professional law firm. US embassy randomly picks application for processing. It took abt a month to get the approval. As long as the application/documentation is correct and there is nothing to worry.
I would suggest to spend more relaxed time with family or going out which we rarely get with 3-4 weeks vacation.
It does not matter if you work for fortune 500. There could still be fraud or suspecion. Read Indian IT cos face US visa fraud woes - Corporate News - livemint.com (http://www.livemint.com/2011/04/11164715/indian-it-cos-face-us-visa-fra.html)
