If approached in the right way there is a chance that big law firms will be helpful to us. The way to do this is politely, not raising a stink, with a credible number of their clients supporting us. The big law firms could act as a "force multiplier" to use a military term, only a small fraction of the community currently know about us, the big law firms and USCIS are the common connection for EB GC process, and USCIS is not about to email all their customers about us. With the right encouragement law firms might just help.
If they have members reading forums great. However, please do be civil.
I do understand the need to vent and rant sometimes. My personal guide is not to post anything that I do not want to be publicly (or legally) held to. Also a balanced constructive post is useful for all. So I place my full name in my signature.
Now when explained like this anyone would understand. Also do see the point you are making and is worth a try. Is the core team looking into this? Do they need any assitance from us?

Yes, country of birth should get us close.
needhelp...maybe instead of country of chargeability we should ask for grouping by country of birth; this is an actual field required in the I-485 form.
You are right about priority date. It is not a field available in the 485 form. in the 485 form we reference the approved I-140, which is the only place where your see the "Priority Date" field.

Hi,
Sorry for late jumping on this old topic. But, applied for SSN for my wife and got it in mail. Now what? My taxes for last year were applied in feb this year. How can I tell IRS that my wife got SSN now and she is eligible for Stimulus package?
Can I claim this amount next year when I file my taxes?
Thanks.
You can file an amendment with the ssn information. If you are not sure how, just talk to any cpa.

GO_GUY,
How much finance is required to do MBA in canada say in top 50 universities. Can we get financial aid for international students?
There is no aid for international students. U of T is very expensive for international students, 86K CAD for MBA. Try others like U of Calgary, Alberta etc. very reasonable.
check out their website.

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.

If you e-filed and no FP notice then you won't be getting EAD in 90 days.
The day you get FP notice from that at least two weeks after FP will be scheduled. After FP it takes 2 weeks to further processed (Card + approval).
Although USCIS says to contact after 90 days, you should think in terms of getting infopass.
Could anyone else provide some more input?
Mine is paper based. Does anyone know how long it takes when its paper based?

Ajobha, thank you for starting this thread.
I am actually curious about peoples reasoning behind not attending the rally. I don't think anyone should judge people's decisions, but if we can understand why we didn't succeed in tempting you to come, we can learn for next time.
It sounds like you might be considering going to another county or back home? Ironically, if this is true, it highlights perfectly what one of our key messages was at the rally.
You are a poster child of reverse brain drain. The US needs to keep talent, whether it is home grown or imported. By making the process so grueling, people are starting to leave in droves.

I don't think i should necessarily agree with this statement. The shortage of manpower is w.r.t US Citizens with specialized skills...hence they recruit specilized people on H1/L1 categories which are known as specialized skilled employees. They won't bother about others unless they hold H/L.
Moreover, they have to think about unemployment issue caused by foreigners. Hence, I think they can't allow anyone work just like that...
I can see the most wierd issue with immigration law is that GC Holders can't bring their spouses on any dependent visa just like H4. In that sense, H4 is a bit better than 'foreign spouse of a GC holder'.
... One the one hand they will keep on syaing that we have shortage of manpower and on the other hand they try to restrict. ...

Will a part time MBA / executive MBA from reputed university do any trick for the existing H1b holders? I am not asking this for GC, but it is mere co-incidence with SKIL bill and my intention of doing MBA.
The very first para in August 2006 visa bulletin says...
This bulletin summarizes the availability of immigrant numbers during August. Consular officers are required to report to the Department of State documentarily qualified applicants for numerically limited visas; the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security reports applicants for adjustment of status. Allocations were made, to the extent possible under the numerical limitations, for the demand received by July 10th in the chronological order of the reported priority dates.
MY COMMENTS:
In may it was Apr'08, then it was Apr'15 and now it is again Apr'01. So when the dates are in April 15, more people have applied for 485(than I have imagined) to consume the VISA availability quota. I wonder, if those many people are there from 2001 April and before to consume the quota, then when will the datel move to May'01. Forget about the visa dates moving to July/Aug/..Dec 01.
If the SKIL bill or any other provision is not passed into the law, it is always better to have a secondary plan to save the career at least. It is better to think our family and career assuming what we will be doing if the priority dates does not cross Dec'01 in the next five years.
I personally think to move back to India if I do not see anything by march next year. Already I am in the end of seventh year. If the SKIL bill is not passed, I donot want to do a MBA here by spending 40K(partime ,100K fulltime) and then doing a sr.software er job. With the spagetti law, I cannot change my roles whatever qualifications I add after applying for my GC. I have been postponing the idea of starting my MBA for long time becos I would like to file my 485 before I work on that. Otherwise it is waste of time, energy and money. What a HELL...............
IF the U.S Master's exception goes through, its pretty obvious that the DOS will tighten the screws on F1 Visa approvals by a magnitude of 100(unless F1 is made a dual intent visa... and that's like asking for the sky), and also USCIS will make in close to impossible to change non-immigrant visas status to F1( from say H1B). So it’s more than the 20K to get ahead of the line. The only benefit will be for folks already with a U.S Master's or it will be a new rat hole, fighting the Consulates/USCIS for F1 status.

although "technically" it is the congress (both the house and the senate) that makes legislation, a.k.a. any new laws or amendments to existing laws when it comes to immigration matters, the role of the president, especially a popular president cannot be underestimated.
If the president decides to throw his full weight behind a particular bill or treaty (as happening with the US-India Nuke Deal), he can (especially a popular president in his first term next year, whoever he may be) influence a lot of congressmen/senators to rally behind such a bill. In that regard someone with a bi-partisan reach can garner even more support from both parties.
That is why it is IMPERATIVE that whoever the next president will be, that he is SUPPORTIVE WHOLE HEARTEDLY for legal immigration.

i am pretty sure, there wont be any fee for next 1 year, for the guys who got 1yr EAD. but, third year u pay again $340 for 2 more years. bottomline,$340 is for 2 years of EAD. otherwise there will another law suit from AILA.
i think the reason for super-quick approval is not that they want milk more money. they must have approved ur EAD before USCIS released formal 2 yr EAD notification. and not many people filed for renewal at that time, due to 120 days rule.
i myself delayed, filing EAD renewal, soon as i heard the news about 2 yr EAD will be effective from Jun30th. :-)
similary, i converted my Apr'07 I-140 to PP on Jun18th,'07 and got it approved on Jun26th,'07, few days before they stopped PP :-)
take it easy guys..

Well...he is working hard to get "14 million hits" on his website. 13 million is not really enough you see :)

What Logiclife means here is that this amendment will fail to have enough support as it contains a provision for MORE H1-B's.
Got it. Though, it exempts everyone with MS from H1B quota, there should be emplyment opening for all. Employer should sponser with $5000 filing fee. They can make 1 million H1B visas with 10,000 fee. But who will sponser?
This is true too numarically exempted folks in EB2 and EB1 catagories.
I remember that there are so many H1B visas were not used, when H1B visas are having a limit of 195,000.

Looks like the Congressman's (Rep. Lamar Smith) office is getting bogged down by the calls.
I walked around my office and asked every colleague I met to make the call. The last 5 people who called, the person answering the phone rudely asked them to call the local Congressman's office instead of the Representative's office. He did not take any information nor did it look like he was making a note of the call.
Any pointers, information as to what may be happening?
I am not sure about the rude part. All the posts in the 12 pages have actually appreciated the patience of the caller.
Some answers on why you are calling Rep Smith even though you are in a different constituency. Send the first post of this thread as supporting material to those who are going to call. It hardly takes a min to read that post.
(1) Yes, we called our Rep and asked for support
(2) Rep Smith is the ranking member of House Judiciary committee and thats why his support is crucial to these bills
(3) Rep smith championed high skill bills in the past and these are common sense measures that will increase American competitiveness
