The cynic in me believes that everyone thinks it is just a matter of time before it becomes current or there is significant movements in dates. This is dead wrong.
Very true. I was talking with a guy last week end and he is very much elder to me. During our conversation he told me that he is waiting for his PD to become current and my minds were blown away when he said "Presidential elections are coming up and people will get GC's" . He summed it up as Politicians doing favors during election period (like in India). O M G!

Guys,
Finally my problem and my questions are solved.
I drove up to the Canadian Border near Niagara Falls (Buffalo), they Canaidan Border Officials took my I-94. I took a drive in canada for 10 minutes. I even stopped at spot to view the Niagara Falls from Canadian side and drove back into US. I was issued a new I-94 with out any additional interogation.
What surprised me was my Canadian Visa expired on 09/01/2007 and i was still allowed to enter into Canada.
Anyways Thank you guys for all your responses.
I am kind of relieved related to my issue related to I-94.

Checking visa documents before issuing License is one thing. Changing the shape and character of the ID to brand a person “different” is another and purely discriminatory and bad in taste.
It is like wearing a band on your sleeve with “Immigrant on H1” or “Immigrant on EAD” written so that all the people one interacts with can know that.
DL is an ID used on daily basis by people – from airport, to get loans, to get insurance, and sometimes even to buy items on credit card.
Visa status is of no business to any one except Immigration or may be law enforcement authorities.
Give license for the date as long as the visa is valid. Sounds okay. But discriminatory branding of a person's status via his ID is not just an immigration issue; it is a human rights issue. These kinds of laws are more insidiously un-democratic and discriminatory than it may initially look like.

Seems like they are just a diversion. to keep our minds occupied so we don't bother them with the real issue at hand. I can only say that whoever devised this system is a genius, albeit an wicked one.

how is it determined how long the EAD will be renewed for? If there are no fees associated with filing the renewal, then it probably doesn't matter.
Its the courtesy of USCIS and highlighting of our problems by IV made USCIS to issue cards for 2 years... there is no requirement that it should be as such... in general any EAD unless its L* is generally issued for 1 year with exception of C09-employment category where they are issued in looking at Priority date [ofcourse there are other exceptions like asylum... etc] if they dont get biometrics from their repository at the time of printing , they waive some of the features like fingerprint, signature etc.

I never had original or any kind of birth certificate nor have it now , As part of GC application I have provided a certificate issued to me by Indian embassy in 2004 stating birth date, location with passport number as reference. Not sure if any Indian consulate in USA are providing that anymore.
I see lot of posts about birth certificate, I sure thought I would have to go through that process but I was never asked to provide anything more than what I have provided to USCIS. May be the rules are different now or it depends on case to case.
We should not be going through that painful process of chasing people in India to get birth certificate. I strongly feel that Indian embassy should provide it. It could be one of things that would generate some income and add value to the services Indian embassy provide.
Can you please help me with this?...I have already submitted the affidavit copy and now they want it from Registrar office. Has any one got it from registrar office in India? if so, how difficult it is and what is the procedure?
"A photocopy of a birth certificate issued by the Local Registrar if the person named above was born in a city, or
A photocopy of a birth certificate issued by the Additional District Registrar’s office if the person named above was born in a village.
If a birth certificate does not list the names of both mother and father, or the child, secondary evidence must be submitted to establish parentage. Secondary evidence includes, but is not limited to , copies of: medical records, school records, census records, government-issues identity cards, religious records and/or affidavits from at least TWO persons alive at the time of birth. The oldest available evidence that lists the names of both parents should be submitted."
Thank you!

I have to agree with AngelFire here. There is a clear distinction between the EB2 and EB3 eligibility requirements. And who are we kidding, if your employer or attorney were willing to file an EB2 petition for you, would you be the "One category for all, Joe" that you are now, and demand that your employer file in EB-3 instead? Of course not.
I'll admit it, I probably would have felt the same way if I was EB3. Being human sometimes makes us want others to not get what we don't have.
I am amazed that there supposedly are people working at gas stations with valid EB2 petitions? And a "LOT" of them, too. I highly doubt that.
There is a process and system in place to ensure the validity/genuine-ness of each application. If phony applications slip through that process, the process needs to be fixed and more checks established. I don't see how scrapping EB2 can fix that.
I'll give you an example. I know someone that has an EB1 (NIW or EA, one of these two) petition in process. To the best of my judgement, I don't feel that this person qualifies (at all) to be an EB1 Green card recipient. And this person getting their green card before mine comes along, will cause some discomfort to me. But I can't let that bother me too much. There is a system in place to ensure that these type of things don't happen, and I would like that system to improve so that the people who truly deserve EB1 Green cards continue to have that option.
I also know someone else that used the labor substitution option to get their green card within a year - start to finish. But this person was a genuine candidate for labor substitution. He had the necessary academic qualifications and work experience prior to the date of the LC, and the job was a valid one as well. He was a true example of what the labor substitution process was introduced for. Even if a large percentage of labor sub cases weren't as strong as his, I find it hard to hate everyone that benefitted from it, such as this person. It would be just wrong to say that this person violated any rules, because he didn't. Yes, I wish I qualified for some of these fast track options, but I don't, and I can live with that.
Thanks,

I just realized that I should probably provide some more details about my situation, which must appear very confusing right now. I came to the US in 1994 with my parents. Yes, I have actually attended from first grade through college graduation here without a green card. My parents have been screwed and screwed again by their employers and the system. Right now we're on my dad's 140+485, with an RFE just sent out for the 140. Try beating our story for fucked up.
One reason I'm making this thread is that I want to make sure my judgement about whether to go or to stay is not clouded by my inherent bitterness toward the US and its government on the one hand, or by an unrealistically rosy picture of what to expect in Canada on the other.
I greatly appreciate all the honest replies that have come in.:)

All this would only help the child continue to stay in US with a Legal Status.. But he/she would still be a dependent(H-4) that means cannot do any part-time job & at the same time pay higher tuition fees.. whereas the DREAM Act proposes to give GC status to the children of illegal immigrants.. seems a tad too unfair for those who abide by the law!

gc_chahiye, Thanks for your response. So, can I be on H1 with my current employer, A, and on EAD with my new employer, B, simultaneously?
Also, employer B might be able to start me on H1-B (my preference--just in case)--though as you said, B will have petition my new H1 for concurrent filing. My other option, of course, is to wait until Feb '08--though I'll miss out on a month's salary from B (not a biggie in order to not have any potential issues).

I think lets not get diverted. We have to display prudence in our action
We have 2 question infront of us.
Q1) What we want?
A: We all know that..
Q2) How we can achive this.
A:By convicing lawmaker.
Lets get this things clear
US prsident DO NOT make any law he pass the law or vetos the law.
Economic report 2006 says that US Presidents understand our plight. So if the law passes in HR and Senate I dont see any reason why this will not be signed into law.
Involving Indian authority will may jepordise our cause.
Why?
Permanant Residentship is Privilage NOT Right
America is a soverign nation and many in Congress or Senate specially the Republicans may not like the influence of foreign Government in law making descision. Senators or HR who may sympathise our cause may turn away after India try to put her influence.
We are playing very DANGEROUS game here.
Involve India only if your rights are violated not if your privilage is stuck. I hate to use these words but looks like we are acting as kids rather than adults.
We are not dealing with any trivial issue we are dealing with Government of a country where we are known as "Aliens".

Myht 1: If I-485 gets denied I have H1-B to as a back up.
Think of this - you get AP and EAD based on pending I-485. Similarly, you get H1-B extension beyond 6 years based on your pending green card process. Once your I-485 is denied, your AP, EAD and extended H-1, all are gone at once. Yes, extended H1-B is no longer valid after that. You simply can not fall back on that.
Myth2 : I want to continue on H1-B even after getting EAD, I feel safer.
Think again. Suppose you came to the US in 2004. In 2007 during the visa gate scandal, you filed your I-485 and got EAD. At that point of time, you had two options. You could have continued H1-B or changed over to EAD. Person A changed to EAD. Well, once he changed to EAD his clock of "Time spent on H1-B" stops right there. Come 2010, if his I-485 gets denied, he still has 3 years of H1-B left and he can use it till 2013.
Person B decided to continue using H1-B after 2007 and kept his EAD as backup. Same thing happened, his I-485 got rejected in 2010. He can not go back to H1-B. He has utilized H1-B for all 6 years and he can not get it extended without going out of the US for one year.
So by keep EAD for "in case I-485 goes south" and using H1-B, you are killing your options. If someone has a choice between EAD and H1-B, he should use EAD.
Gurus.....any comments?
