Guys who got NOID/Denied 485, quick question.
Looking back, do you think it was worth making the job move using AC21? Is it really worth the time, money, anxiety, sleepless nights that you go through during NOID-MTR?
For people getting layed off, they have no choice but to use AC21, but for rest of us, why not continue with the job you are currently in and let the GC take its turn rather than risking it?
PS: I am in US for past 5 yrs with May06 PD. I am just trying to get an opinion here, so don't flame on me. I was comtemplating on using AC21 but reading all the NOID stories, i am bit hesitent now.
Well - depends on how you perceive it. A few days of anxiety is better than working with same salary/same job for years? Most of my friends are scared to use AC21. They are just shit scared, they do not want ANYTHING to happen to their Green Card - they did not join IV because they are scared that something will happen to their GC petition.
Knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss. I used AC21 because I was with desi employer - though our relationships were good, as the client filed for chapter 11, my desi employer who has a poor accounting system figured out that there were a lot of invoices unpaid which he never bothered to follow up and lost a lot of money and rubbed everything on me. So it was a good time for me to get out of such mess as I already finished 180 days after filing 485 and as such I had been doing my own marketing, negotiating my own billing rate, and always billable so I utilized this opportunity to get into a more stable job which is decent paying.
I talked to various lawyers and was aware that AC21 has some risks involved but everything can be sorted out. I weighed options, though I could stay with the company, I moved on.
So it is your choice.

Credit cards are issued mostly to GC holders only unless they have a checking account as well with the institution-unless one lies in the application. You are also presuming a 100% credit worthiness and sign up rate - extremely optimistic. This would work when IV is about a million strong and if people like you and me become 'resident' aliens - and dont turn our backs on those behind us.

I called an hour ago. The lady said the phones are ringing like crazy for these bills. She was nice to take down the bill numbers, my name, and phone number. I asked her the tipping point when these things get noticed and if we are any close to the number of phone calls. The lady said, call volume is good and it will only help if your community makes more calls.

Friends,
Ofcourse everyone is very excited that the priority dates are current but let's take a careful look for why it became current all of a sudden even when the demand for visa numbers is so high and was backlogged by 5 years up until couple of months ago.
1. I sincerely feel this is just to keep the legal immigrants to stop protesting for benefits in the CIR. Well, the CIR is supposed to be dead right? Wrong, count 2 weeks from now and the Bill will be back with tons of benefits for Illegal aliens and none for legals.
2. Currently Service centers are processing cases received in Aug-Sept. '06 with the few thousands of applications being submitted for the next few weeks the processing dates will be moved back by couple of years. All this time we were waiting for the priority dates and now will wait for the processing dates to be advanced. What a circus!!!
3. Just when the case is ready for processing that would be atleast couple of years from now, the priority dates will be retrogressed may be by 10 years this time.
To my knoweledge we should still continue to lobby the senators and get the Visa numbers increased, get the country quota eliminated, Only one visa should be counted per family... and get it into the CIR. Should the CIR pass without these ammendments legal immigrants will be stuck in limbo for every because there will be no more CIRs in the near future.
TIA

Only god knows what processes, rules and regulations they follow. I am glad that i am maintaining H1B status with my I-485 and never used EAD.
Its just so disturbing that you are at the mercy of USCIS who didn't know anything about how to look and process the application.
when you use AC21 it means you used EAD right ?
How can you use AC21 and still be on H1 ? could you give us more info on this pls.

i would love 'tomotto sauce'.. you are the kind of 'Donors' who disgrace IV or give wrong impression about IV - don't know how to carry out meaningful discussion.
Dont you know what IV's is doing with the donation money or are you just making fun of it. Whom you are trying make fool out here..? If your question was genuine you would have got genuine response... What goes around comes around.
Why dont you give good impression about yourself and IV.

Wikipedia understands situation better than some of the lawmakers.
That is why we need to educate lawmakers, instead of letting hate groups like FAIR influence them with lies.

Please don't shoot me for these thoughts, but please consider it only for sake of discussion.
Now that CIR is defeated again for nth time, We really need to consider rethinking about our stratergy,
I guess we are about 15K membership and if we include spouse and take a guess every one in five has dependent kid to join (wild gusstimate) we come close 35-40K approximately.
most of us are legal and we should not having any issue in getting Green card with current law only if backlog is cleared and we recapture visa numbers.
to recapture visa numbers we don't need any legislative reform AC-21 does apply,
We need to spend more energy in researching possibility of recapturing 90K visas and we will be done,
I really don't think we have strength and will power to fight legislation change along with illegals for most controversial subject.
we are legals letz use it our advantage.
I did belive in piggy back ride along with illegals, but I don't any more,

Senator Frist bill is better as it has no so called 'Guest worker' clause.
Just wrote an email to Senator Frist for removal of country limit.
I hope with this bill I'll get my GC by next year.:)

rockstart, what was the issue with Advance Parole, can you elaborate?
London does not accept travellers with AP. So Virgin Guys had to turn me back from their counter. I was sure about Qatar having no issues about AP so I went back to Continental and said I need you guys to put me on Qatar and thats what they did.

Thanks Sheela.
I got a relief. So since I ma on EAD and on I-485 status is it ok to take a break for 3 months and then start the next job. So this break will not affect my status right.
Yes, that is right. On EAD you can stay in-between-jobs

. People deserve to be treated with respect and that is something he needs to realize.
This is the spirit IV leadership should have. After all we are building an organization with human beings not mechanical parts. We should be more compassionate towards junior members and bench warmers.

I�m working for company A and company B has sponsored my GC as future employee and also did a H1 transfer from A but got a big RFE. Now company C is ready to do H1 transfer. Is it a good idea to do so or would get into problems as GC is in process through B? We did I-140 & I-485 concurrent filing and got our EAD�s approved but I-140 is still in pending status. I heard that using EAD is not a good idea when I-140 is pending.
My Attorney is sending a response to RFE but I�m not sure whether it gets approved or not. What happens if B transfer gets approved and would choose to work with B and not use C at all (if it gets approved)?
In the other way, If C gets approved and choose to work with them as the H1 with A expires pretty soon (got to move out) can I comeback to B with a fresh (another) H1 transfer. Please suggest what is the best to do at this time?

Risker,
I am very glad that you brought this point. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing the DOL. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter and deliberate disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on the DOL web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
Some folks have pointed that the lawsuit is not worth, as it has little chance of winning. To me personally, more than winning or loosing, it is a matter of bringing injustice to the light, as Gandhi has said something in this line: First step against injustice is to make it visible. This law suit will bring public scrutiny to the misdeeds of the DOL.
Even if all the backlogs get cleared by September 2007, severe damage has been already dealt to our lives. Though I am close to getting my labor clearance (I filed RRI few weeks back), I am strongly in favor of continuing with the law suit even after getting the labor clearance.
Let�s get IV�s attention and support in this area. Let�s talk to AILA. Let�s write letters to senators and house representatives (congresswoman Lofgren may be good person to start with). Let�s write to media personnel. Let�s do whatever needs to be done to expose this insult and injury to the immigrants who waited in the line for years and followed rules of the game.
I would strongly suggest talking personally to IV leaders about this. These are folks who by now really have a feel about how things are handled out there. They will suggest the best way to tackle this issue and am sure with their mature guidance, this is a very simple techinical issue that can be resolved. You are literally just saying "SIR, I WAS HERE BEFORE. I KNOW YOU ARE BUSY AND POSSIBLY FAILED TO NOTICE ME, BUT HERE I AM, AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR LONG TO GET YOUR ATTENTION". honestly I dont think even USCIS wants to hurt you purposely, its just that the traffic of new PERM thing has overcrowded their desk and mind so they have shelved your applications unknowingly. PLEASE SHOUT OUT----THROUGH IV ONLY. let them realize that we have a strong organization and ONLY ONE STRONG ORGANIZATION.
