Only 10% of the general public said immigration is the most important issue for them - and mind you, ILLEGAL immigration and amnesty to illegal aliens is what comes to mind of most average americans. The perceived opposition to CIR was blown out of proportion by the conservatives and their media cronies like Lou Dobbs. That it did not work clearly shows that the american public too mature and sensible to be carried away by such rhetoric.
I am not sure but one thing we can see a lot of anti immigration conservatives are not doing too good at house.. so what does this mean.. immigration is an issue by the conservative talk shows...Lou Dobbs.. and people like them and not the gen US public ???

Mohican,
Good luck with the MTR, I hope your attorneys are able to file it ASAP, and your 485 gets reopened even faster.
I switched employers about a year or so after my 485 had been filed (140 approved) and my employer has informed me that they are going to have to revoke my 140 soon.
The attorneys at the new employer's filed AC21, G28, etc., but looking at everyone's experience, I too am expecting to get a denial or at best, a NOID/RFE once the 140 is revoked.
I don't have answers to your questions unfortunately, but I would think that even if the 140 was used for someone else, you shouldn't need a new one, since you switched employers after 180 days of 140 approval, and for those 180 days the 140 was not revoked/reused. Of course, an attorney has to confirm this.
Please do keep us posted on how things go, how long the MTR takes, etc.
In the meantime, do you have to go on unpaid leave, because of your EAD becoming invalid or do you have backup status such as the H-1B?
Thanks very much and good luck,

Each H1B Employer Must File a New H1B Petition
.................................................. ............................................... When an H1B employee wants to change employers in the United States, the prospective new employer must first file a new H1B petition. Although many people refer to this as an H1B "transfer," there is no separate transfer procedure under law. Each H1B is employer-specific and requires the filing of a new H1B petition and an approval from the USCIS to work for the new H1B employer.

If an H1 gets layed off, how soon must he leave before he is considered illegal status? And for practical purposes, does it matter (ie, is it ever enforced)? Does having severence extend the period (because you're technically still on payroll)?
Canadian, EB3, in 6th year H1, PD nov 04, 140 approved 2/07.
I got different explanations on this from different people and this is my understanding after reading different lawyer/employer opinions and after having gone thru one lay-off:
Technically you have to leave immediately. I am not sure if there is a clear law but lawyers suggest that we have to leave as soon as it is practical. INS/USCIS may be lenient if the time gap after job loss is very short (something like couple weeks). Many people quote a 30 day grace period after losing the job and I asked many lawyers � everyone said that there is no 30 grace period but they also told me that USCIS may be lenient if its less than 30 days and if we can give some reasonable explanation (if and when questions arise at the time of later 485 filing/approving). Does it ever enforced � not sure but its better to be on the cautious side. Severence period does not extend the period. The day we stopped going to office (stopped providing service to employer) is our final day.
Since you are a Canadian you can apply for a visitor visa (B1) � by applying the visa we will be in legal status until a decision is taken. B1 visa is generally approved if you give the reason of finishing up matters in US (like selling house/cars/closing bank accounts/credit accounts etc). I guess you are asking just to be informed but if it really happens another option for you is TN1 � if you have not yet applied for 485.

There is a largish I140 backlog today.
There you go. Fantastic factor. People rotting in I140 would indirectly helping to I-140 approved ones.Technically say for an example 40000 EB3-I are stuck in I-140.. they will simply be not considered in 485 queue so USCIS will not see them in "Demand Queue" and that also pushes USCIS to forward dates. Now I-140 stuck , though his date date is current can't do anything except getting frustration.

Its personal choice if and when they want to start the GC process if there is an opporunity. I also didnt start my GC even though my first employer wanted to start the GC for me in 2005 and I refused for whatever stupid reasons...which I am regreting now
Yeah me too, in 2005 a company wanted to apply for me in EB3, though I was qualified for EB2. I didn't feel it was right to apply in EB3, unless you were a fresher.
I quit and joined an Wall street company in 2007, who finally applied in the right category

Hello All:
It is great that the dates have become current and many of our friends here at IV can apply for 485. Congratualtions!!! to all that can apply.
I am in a dilemma and don�t know what to do:
My LC has been approved PR 02/10/05
My I-140 is pending.
I know I can file for 485 but my wife is on F1 � OPT and is working she has applied for a H1 and will get it because of Master�s quota but will not be effective till October, 2007. Can I file 485 now even though she is on F1?
I have two choices, either wait till October 2007 or cancel the H1 go to Mexico and get a H4 stamp for my wife and apply for 485. Please advise what I should do. Thanks!!!

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 and my wife got our approved EADs in our hand in 17 days (Mailing day to USCIS to recevied date by us). Only strange thing is that my EAD is valid from 06/2008 to 06/2009. I thought the new EADs validity would begin when the existing expires. My existing EAD expires on 09/19/2008. I lost 3 months with this renewal.
How can anyone explain this now? Isn't it a money scheme? Is it reasonable to loose 3 months when you had already paid for it? There is always confusion in this whole GC affair. There seems no option than to live with it and move forward.

H1bslave,
Are uou IT manager or working in non IT field. If you are in IT and non manager then doors are closed for you to go to Canada.
If you have plans of doing an MBA in future, then Canada would be a better option than US. Otherwise as uma001 points out, doors are closed for most professions except 38 occupations.
H1bslave, in your case your PD is Sep 5 EB2. I see something in the distant horizon. PD of 2007 and beyond or EB3-India I see no hope.
Atleast you can survive on a lifeboat called EAD and AC21.

Guys,
Wanted to started this thread to get reviews on different law firms
I can understand the quality and committment of lawyers can make a huge difference especially in this unprecendented situation where all EB categories are made current now and now there is a rumour that it would be retrogressed back probably sometime next week with a new visa bulletin.
A lot of lawyers who are really committed and sincere to their client's clause: Getting them Green Card, are working overnight and over the weekend also so that their client can file I-485 ASAP and on the other hand few law firms are acting as slackers and not even responding to their client's emails.
Anyway, I am interested in knowing everyone's experience ( good or bad ) with law-firms and their recommendation.
My Own Case:-> I work for a multibillion dollar telecom company and joined this company almost 15 mos ago with a promise that they would start my GC immediately. Till Now, they have not yet file my labor. Their lawfirm is Larrabee http://www.larrabee.com/ in sanDiego. I don't have much experience with them as my application is still in my company's internal queue but based on the basis of my little experience, I would certainly not recommend them
Thanks

A Good immigration lawyer is the one that also supports this community & our struggle
If you have a good experience with your lawyer and are recommending the law firm, pls also try to talk to your lawyer about IV. Ask the law firm if they want to contribute/ or even publicize IV to their clients. If they agree to do it, please post here. If they refuse, pls post here.
So when you write about how good your lawyer is, pls also mention if the lawyer supports IV and the help that has been extended to IV. If they have posted IV information/banner ad on their website, post the website URL here.
This will help maintain a list of lawyers who are recommended by members and at the same time, help IV.

Got my approval but my spouse hasn't yet received one.
We e-filed it together through the same account. My LIN was constantly getting updated with the status but not my husband. I also received the notification when my application was approved. I got my approval in the mail today too (about 1 month turnaround time) .But we haven't received any notification on my husband's case. And the online status hasn't changed either. Did anybody else face this? Not sure how to follow-up. Any pointers?

And the worst thing is they approve it from the date tey approve it to 1 year after..My EAD which was expiring on 2th Sep'2008 was approved until Jun 20th 2009. Basically I got a 9 months extension...What a plan...
That's ridiculous. Forget abt the 2 year EAD that you didn't get, you also lost 3 months? They probably hired some part time workers for last weekend who might have screwed up. I did some research before and am pretty sure they started issuing documents with a start after expiry of the first one a long time ago. Even on our AP's which were approved, the start date was september 2008. I got them mid -may..
