Thanks Rajesh.
I was trying to find out if there are any other options to record my departure date and returning I-94 when I leave US by LAND.
Looks like the only option for people leaving by Land is to send the I-94 to "ACS - CBP SBU". In my case, I will have to send this along with details proving my stay in Canada after leaving US.

After listening to both the shows, this week as well as last week, I am wondering if it was worth the effort for IV to participate in Debo Kotun's show. Here is my personal comments about the participants and the shows.
Debo Kutan: He did a pathetic job in moderating the shows. He not only spent about 25 minutes talking about his future shows(prior to beginning of today's show), but also repeating the same information from last week and pretty much asking the same questions. He was more interested in talking about his immigration decades ago and how he got his GC in one day, blah blah blah...Also, he mentioned that he was going to get Sen Kennedy & Sen Brownback to participate in today's show..but that was probably some publicity talk to draw more listener's to his show.He repeatedly questioned us to go back to our countries and solve our own problems and as well as theirs rather than trying to understand the root cause of the current situation. He turned out to be very ignorant of the immigration woes and did not seem like he had done any research prior to conducting his shows.
Swadha: She did a good job of explaining her situation and the difficulties she was facing due to the retrogression despite her excellent credentials and qualifications. Thanks to Swadha for her efforts in explaining her current situation due to retrogression.
Carl Shusterman: As popular,qualified and expert he is in the field of immigration, he just turned out to be very ignorant of the ground reality. I was as surprised as Swadha, when he mentioned that people with advanced degrees can get their GC's in a year. Despite having 2 advanced degree's I am still waiting for more than 3 years to be able to apply for I-485. The people most affected by this retrogression are citizens of India and China, not someone from Monaco or Namibia. He was more interested in promoting his Immigration firm and his website. Wish he had been more vocal in explaining the broken immigration system, rather than gaining some publicity for his firm.
Stuart Anderson: He did an excellent job explaining his research studies and how the current immigration laws are affecting the economy and its long term impact, if the immigration system is not rectified soon. Thanks to Stuart for his expert comments and explaining our situation in a wonderful manner.
Rajeev Khanna: He did a good job in the last weeks show, explaining our situation and the broken immigration system. Unfortunately, due to Mr. Kutan's terrible job of moderating, he did not provide much opportunity for Rajeev to speak this week. Thanks to Rajeev for fighting for our cause.
Aman Kapoor: He did a commendable job last week, explaining about IV and its efforts. But due to lack of Mr. Kutans moderating skills, he did not get much time to talk today. Thanks to Aman for organizing and providing an opportunity for IV to discuss about the legal angle of immigration reforms and the difficulties faced by people like us.
Jay Pradhan: Due to technical difficulties, Mr. Kutan could not include him in last week's program, but he did provide him an opportunity this week and explain his case. Jay did an excellent work explaining his situation, current backlogs and also answering some of Mr. Kutan's questions in a very logical manner, like the way only he can do. I wish Mr. Kutan had given more opportunity for Jay to talk and explain the broken immigration system. Excellent job Jay. Hope you get more opportunities like these to discuss about our situation and shed more light to the general public.
Overall, it was some decent publicity for the problems faced by legal immigrant community, though I wonder if it was worth the efforts due to the pathetic job of Mr. Debo Kutan. Hope we can get to participate on more knowledgable/popular talk shows and showcase our problems.
Carl Shusterman was misleading when he said that Indian with Masters could get a green card in 1 year and then he corrected that to 2 years.He should see the plight of so many people here.

The con's mostly depend on whether you have already exhausted your 6 years of permitted H1B.
From my understanding if one has approved I-140 and I485 pending > 180 days, 6 year limit on H1b doesn't hold. At my present employer I am on h1b and this is my 9th year. I am quite sure a lot of folks on the forums are in the same situation.
Does anyone think it would be problematic to transfer H1,
if the person is in the > 6 year of stay on H1B
has approved I-140 and
I495 pending > 485 days

Why do they get the FP and Medical if they are going to expire. Why not when they are ready to give the GC. That way they can save time and money for millions of applicants. I guess that is what they do not want to do.
Technically speaking, you send your I-485 when they are "ready", which means, your dates are Current, you are eligible for a visa. Beyond that point it is supposed to be a short administrative delay, which unfortunately is extending to years...

As an Indian minister, I will speak up for fair treatment of Indians anywhere. - Kamal Nath - Union Commerce Minister, India.
http://www.outlookindia.com/full.asp?fodname=20060306&fname=Mittal&sid=2
They will not care for us at all! But, there is an outside chance that one of the retrogressed is related to one of them or somebody knows a politician... and our e-mail also reaches them at the perfect time! And, one of the concerned politician/minister happens to meet one-on-one with Karl Rove, or any such powerful figure in the Bush Team! And, they bring it up with the Bush Team, who assure them they will make Retrogression disappear!!!
;) Hey, if we were so lucky - one of us might have won $365 mil Powerball, and donated $200K or more to IV outright! I would have, I know that for sure!
But, we have to keep trying every which way! Everything to gain- nothing ventured, nothing gained! Please, do not misunderstand me - I am not making light of somebody's ideas! Great things happen only if we keep trying!!!

Thanks for contacting IV with your SOS.
An IV core member is going to be helping you to fix this with USCIS. Let us know if you need help. He already tried contacting you yesterday.
As IV grows maybe this is a help IV can extend to all its donor members and help them if they get in such extreme distress situations. This is one of the ideas we are thinking for our members in the donor group.
I appreciate your response even if the guy is not a donor. Great job.

Had applied on July 19th , receipt date of July 20th.
I never received any receipt notice and today I received transfer notice
WAC....
Receipt date Sep 14th 2007
Notice Date Sep 17th 2007.
Does it mean I lost the original receipt date of July 20th which should have been ideally my receipt date.
I have a similar issue. Although my app reached on July 2, 2007, the "receipt date" on my notice shows "Aug 3, 2007" and the notice date shows "Sep 12, 2007". So, in my case too, they've not honored my original receipt date. Did you manage to get your's corrected on the receipt notice, or not worth the time/effort?
Appreciate your inputs.

I guess you are in the tri state chapter - you can see for yourself, how many members are active and how many are not. I am also just like you all - the core trusts me to be a chapter lead and I do want to do what best I can - I will be very happy if more and more people come forward and carry things forward.

I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...

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)

a recapture helps everone by moving the line forward and making dates current. there is also a parallel effort on to bring changes like 485 filing without PD being current. so no one ie being left behind or ignored. these efforts will help all of us affected by retrogression and stuck in different stages.
If IV can help this (apply for I-485 without having current PD) proceed in anyway, I would be so happy. I got married 2 years ago, my wife is a finance professional, an employer in US applied a H1b for her, ended up getting rejected in the lottery.
I had just (during the open I485 time frame) then switched employers and my employer filed for labor which never got cleared in time (actually still isnt cleared - random Audit).
So my wife and me are shuttling between India and US to even meet each other.
Have been in US for 9 (with 2 masters and 5 years working) years now, still no way of finding a visa for my wife to work.
I work for one of the big Biotech guys and kind of like my job, otherwise working in India along with the wife looks very intriguing

Please share more info on what steps you undertook to utilize your wife's PD. There are a few members of IV who have two streams (husband and wife) of approved 140s but one set of 485s applied. This info will be beneficial to the community if we can finally add it to the IV wiki.
