His name is Yann ,I hosted him .
myself , chandu , siddhi, poonam and tikka had lunch with him at the Union Station and he did tell us his experiences .
Ppl on their own have to realize the importance of a movement like this .No amount of convincing by friends/relatives would make any difference.
Hats off to ppl like Yann , Swede who really understood what this rally was all about...

Can we utilize the US Citizen children to campaign for our cause. We can highlight our cause better that way. We shall certainly get more attention. We also must make sure to highlight that we are LEGAL immigrants.
I don't think this will fly, two reasons (but we can always try)- Not trying to discourage the thoughts/actions.
1. US Govt. revoked the policy to grant legal status to parents of US born children few years back(per NumberUSA they are called Anchor Baby-- go figure.. I hate this term very much).
2. I had read somewhere of similar case where a family tried to appeal for themselves in a court arguing that his US born child has all the rights to be raised in his country of birth and that he would need his parents to do so, hence the plea. They were told that they could take the child back to home country and US will be glad to welcome the baby when he/she turns 18.

Hi Gurus,
I have efiled for my wife's EAD/AP renewal. When I finally submitted, the total payment asked was only $645( 340 for EAD and 305 for AP). But, there is a note stating the following:
"The biometric fee is $80 for applicants ages 14 through 79 who request a Refugee Travel Document or Re-Entry Permit, unless the applicant resides outside the United States at the time of filing their form."
How am I supposed to send this? I was not asked to pay this amount during my efiling of the AP/EAD concurrent filing.
How am I supposed to send this? Can I send it as a separate check for $80 only for the biometric fee( because I had already paid for the EAD/AP using my credit card)
Please advise.
Also, during the AP filing, I got this:
"On a separate piece of paper, please explain how you would qualify for an Advance Parole and what circumstances warrant issuance of Advance Parole. Include copies of any documents you wish considered. (See instructions.) "
What an I supposed write in the document that I am going to send to USCIS?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,

I do not want to spoil the party fun but somewhere in my mind there is a lingering doubt. I read Ron Gotcher's post about August 2008 bulletin.
http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20233#post20233
He says that Eb2 India will retrogress to 2003 or 2004.
.
Ron gotcher makes sense to me. Considering the (quota + spill over) vs. the demand, it is just wishful thinking that all EB2-I with PD < 06/06 will get GC in the next few months. I also agree with others that in Oct EB2-I will retrogress back to the original levels (2004), it could go even beyond (to late 2002 or early 2003) that if a handful of EB2-I (who did not get a chance a last year) file 485 in the next 1-2 months.
2 yr EAD rule and this big EB2-I advancement could just be an unfortunate coincidence. But a lot of folks will sure find a 100% correlation nonetheless.

And for all of Logiclife's detractors, you should have heard him speak yesterday!:) He is simply 3 good!:) he could have energized you, motivated you and prompted you to do more for our cause, by the way he spoke and what he spoke.
We're still talking about it at home and how good both of us felt to be a part of this movement. Can't wait to see more pix and videos!:)

Thanks for the reply but how did you conclude 'Future AC21 Changes' will be retroactive?
again from the same Murthy article:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued.

Why should a drivers license be used as an ID ?
Even if it is an ID, it should NOT be linked to immigration status.
An ID says this photo and details are of the person holding the ID. It is meant to "identify" a person NOT for checking the immigration status.
If someone needs to check the immigration status, they should ask for immigration documents rather than a general purpose id.
Summary:
All american nonsense ! :rolleyes:
The idea here could be to give tough time for people who do not have valid visas. If they cannot get drivers license because they are on expired visa they cannot drive.

Murthy's lawyer suggested Consular processing as an option.
She explained that in Consular processing I still need continued Sponsorship from my firm, but it will revoke my 485 application. I will end up filling bunch of forms with USCI, including 824.
This was my PD will remain intact and when it becomes current, I will have to go to Indian Consulate and get Immigrant Visa from there.
IN this whole process My firm needs to continue sponsor my GC processing. Advantage is : I don't have to come and renew my EAD and AP every year.
If you really want to maintain your PD, you can go for CP while studying. After school finishes, if need be, you can always come back on H1 again before your GC is complete. This way you will have both options Europe and USA !!

One of our members has written this as below, it looks good.
PLEASE READ AND CHANGE AS REQUIRED.
Hi,
The plight of legal immigants has been lost in all the noise and focus on illegal immigration. There are about 500K legal high-skilled immigrants from around the world who are presently working in the US legally on a temporary work visa issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and in the queue for a permanent resident card also known as Green Card (GC).
There are only 140K GCs given per year for all employment based categories and the employer who sponsors the immigrant has to prove that the job cannot be filled by an American Citizen through a lbour market test. The 140K number is also used to count the spouse and children of the high skilled immigrant. So in essence there are only about 60K high skilled immigrants given a GC each year. Also there is a per country limit of 7%, so only about 5000 GCs are given to high-skilled geal immigrants from each country. This has lead to a huge backlog in GCs especially from countries which send may high-skilled immigrants like China and India. To make matters worse the Congress authorized about 250K illegal aliens a one time waiver to adjust status in the year 2000 and those numbers come out of the regular 140K per year granted to legal high-skilled immigrants.
All this has resulted in a expected wait of "8-12 years" for getting a GC for a "Play-By The Rules" legal high-skilled immigrant. Add another % years after that to get US Citizenship. Seeing these kind of numbers many talented young engineers , scientists and doctors are moving to other countries in droves. No one would like a wait for 15 years to become a naturalized citizen. America is losing a lot due to this Retrogression (Backlog) in GCs, especially when there is a global competition for Talent. The only ones who have patience to stick on is those who have already been in the waiting game for
years and have a lot at stake to leave it at this stage. And for those that chose to wait in this manner life is hell. For 7-10 years they cannot change jobs, cannot get promoted or even change job roles within the same company, cannot get transferred to a different location in same company. Any of these events will mean starting in line all over again. Also their spouses cannot work and they cannot buy homes or make other investment decisions due to the uncertainity, many who have kids in college have to pay higher tution.
I am one of these stuck in this GC hell for the last 9 years, I came to the United States as a student in 1995 to pursue graduate studies in Engineering in a top-ranked university. I have been employed legally in the US since I graduated in 1997 and been pursuing the GC dream for the last 9 years. The end is not in sight and if Congress does not pass any relief I expect the wait to last at least another 5 years.
What does it take for congress to pass some relief? Just some simple relief measures
1. Increase the numbers of GCs to 250K per year temporarily for 2-3 years to alleviate the current problem.
2. Allow to recover unused GC numbers from previous 5 years to be used to alleviate the current retrogression.
3. Do not count spouse and dependents towards the annual number
4. Do not count against the annual cap count certain high-skilled immigrants who have a advanced degree from the US and have worked in a high-skilled job legally in the United states for 3 years .

if you have EAD and 140 is approved (And 180 passed since 485filed), then why are you worried about H1 status ?
am I missing something here ..I let my H1 expire and am using EAD now.
I had another question - if one has EAD and 140 is approved (and 180 days passed and a person does not hav H1) - then how long can that person stay unemployed ? please reply if you know ..Thanks !!
GC is fo future employment so technically you need to have an employment offer when your GC is ready for approval. You can be unemployed up to that date, there is no requirement for continuos employment.

When did you file? did you labor approved?

If your eb2 gets denied, hope you have eb3 keep running as it is right?
Did you file your eb2 with same employer who filed your eb3?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Thanks,
Matt.
Just go far it.
I am in Q and let the form know when it is through.

yes job market in canada is not good. Alberta (but ist very cold though) is doing better because of the oil sector (oil prices very high)
Some use the 3 years stay neeed (for citizenship application ) to do some
mba etc there that uses up the 2 years. and hang on there for a year
and with canadian citizenship work in us on TN1 visa.
otherwise canada is not that great....but is US great on H1B and married with chidlren ? Basically u have to decide between stay in India or Canada taken citizenship for ur family and then move to us.

This seems strange...no reason you cant be a part of more than one organization
and what kind of benefit as we talking about here?
are they also EB immigrants with the same Goal....do they have other different goals?
They want to come help with advocating...but do not want to benefit us...so they want to benefit us by helping out but they don't want to officially be seen as benefiting us?? lol seems like a weird funny paradox :D
Maybe they can help with logistical support n let IV deal with the actual talking to senators part

Exactly.
Chances are Obama never even saw your letter, his office has an aide who has a saved format of this letter which is printed out with your name and adressed.
But keep writing and keep calling. They might listen.
Its called a form-letter.
The staff writes those.
They use the same letter and change the name and address of the constituent and copy-paste the generic position on immigration.
That is the reason you are seeing a letter that casts a wide net on immigration issues, like border security, illegals, etc. etc. The staff would send out the same letter to all constituents who are writing for or against immigration or any issue related to immigration.
All lawmakers have staff who repond to communication from constituents and 99% of the time, you get a form-letter response...the one-size-fits-all letter. The audacity of form-letters. ;)
