It is perfectly legal. Before throwing out ignorant allegations like "skirting the law" and all that, do your homework first. I am sure I did mine thoroughly well!

> Sent visa and pp copies of dependents as well as airline tickets (as proof

returns.
> Used dependent deductions for two FY's returns successfully and all the
more --> legally.

It is FBI that is responsible for namecheck ... not sure USCIS has any control over them. My understanding is I-485 premium processing would apply only to USCIS processing of the paperwork.
Then, of course, it won't help much because for most people name check is taking 2 years, and 485 processing via the regular route takes less time than that.

Why do you guys have such a hard time believing....
Law says what it says
Visa bulletin has the notce
Berkleybee isn't saying anything in that conversation with DOS which isn't already covered by the law or the note in 2005 visa bulletin.
Still; everyone is thinking it is a mistake and it is going to get current in 3 to 4months?
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. All one needs to do is look at data coming out from backlog processing centers; amount of 245i labors; statistics on how many people have come on h-1b; l-1's, b visas, f visas, amont of perm labor approvals; amount of greencards approved over the last five years.
It is going to be a very, very long time before there is significant movement in dates.
The cynic in me thinks Berkleybee posted it in immigration.com so that people may now get the message the dates aren't going to move. They aren't going to move significantly next year either. There is TOO many people going for greencards.
As long as people think that the dates are going to move, then they sit on the fence and don't do much to get rid of retrogression.
I am sure if people could get convinced that in current environment; visa dates will never get current then people may have some urgency in participating to get rid of retrogression.

IV is not an Indian organization. If this is one of the reasons why few non-indian members are not making donations then please re-consider your decision and start donating.
Also let us not dillute our fight by expanding the fight to include other problems. Once we achieve desired results, we can continue to pick up other problems and lead the fight.
--sri
What part of my post indicated that I had not donated?! I was responding to claims that other nationalities affected have not stepped up and offered their time to help, in response to some one else's claim in this thread. I also suggested that the media tends to report what it wants to and this is not necessarily the full truth.
As a side note, you try pursuading people to join up here that don't fit into the demographic most vocal on this forum (i.e. anyone that is not Indian)... Which, incidently, is the group that I know and interact with (i.e. greencard applicants that are not Indian), and try and pursuade them that this group represents them too, when half of the posts say (paraphrasing) "well, its only the indian and chinese group that faces problems". I can guarantee you that this is extremely tricky when you ask people to see beyond the bias on a forum and pony up their cash.
It is this very reason, that when I see a thread that could be read negatively by this demographic, I do my best to remind people to be sensitive of this fact. How would you feel if you were being begged to contribute money, and then told that this issue doesn't affect you (which has happened to me)? Every single person on this forum needs to realize that, and I'm NOT talking about the core team, they do a fantastic job and acknowledge every single person's issues regardless of nationality, but does every single poster here?
srikondoji, you will also notice that the FBI name check is part of the IV agenda. There have been multiple posts regarding this. There is even a headline currently posted on the front page about this very issue.

Great topic. wating one more year would mean 12 more months of rent. so even if the house depreciates it would break even considering the lost rent. This is just my opinion assuming that the depreciation would be less than 5-10% till next summer. Experts please list out the hidden costs involved in mortgage for new home buyers to be careful about.

If they ask for police clearance .. you give it..
Unless it was a felony that requires certain jail-time or something it's not always counted against you.. remember .. purpose is not to exclude shop-lifters.. they got plenty of those in Canada but rather identify and filter out security hazards.. you might need in person interview.. but it should be alright.. I know even US immigration allows folks like that.. so can't imagine Canada being more stringent..

1) You do not need one, unless you have no clue about any immigration system or have excess of 1000$
2) around 1000$ + appl fess + med exam fees
3) cic.gc.ca is a good place to start with keeping consultants aside.
There are threads that discussed this extensively before. Check them out.

please don't post information you are not sure of. unless employer withdraws H1 there is no way USCIS can know of this. (Employers are not legally bound to file for H1 withdrawal) Also I would like to know the source of your 'zero tolerance' policy in regards to H1. In fact they forgive upto 6 months of 'unauthorized' employment when processing I-485. (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nscuna.html). If they wanted to have 'zero tolerance' they would have forced employers to withdraw H1 or atleast inform USCIS of layoff.
Also you say "one should inform USCIS before I-485 is approved'. Again this is wrong information.
Please do not start fear mongering based on incomplete information.
I hope you "heard" it from others too and i read those things from some immigration sites . Don't have exact link. And GOD save folks from USCIS when people say they have N number of days of grace period for H1B status .

Hi I am in similar situation, My I 140 is approved from company X in June and I applied I485 and EAD in July (receipt is pending). I am on 8th year of H1. My HR said not to worry about anything everything (H1 and GC) will be taken care of by new company (company Y). My Question is-
Do I need to worry since I will be employee of new company by this month end (less than 180 days of I 485 filing).
Do 180 days limit still valid from July?
If I change job (to company Z) after 180 days from July on EAD will it affect my GC? How?

We are talking two different things here. You are saying about AC-21. The OP is asking about retaining PD. The way you can retain your PD after I-140 approval is :-
You file a new labor with the new employer - once it is approved - you need to file a new I-140 application and attach the old approved application with it - this would ensure that your PD will become the PD from the old case.
Difference with AC21 is - in the case of AC21, you just switch jobs and your current GC process continues - you do not have to file a new labor,140 etc.
thanks dilbert_cal!!
