Please, someone correct me if I am wrong...But once you enter US using AP, isn't that your H1 or H4 becomes invalid? How is that you are on H1 still?
Yes, you are rite. As per my knowledge, (gathered from asking lawyers & INS customer service), H1 does become invalid once you enter on AP.

We had another interesting call this week with some new members on the call. This was the second call for the Northern California chapter and we are developing some goals and plans to achieve these goals.
We have setup a yahoo group to facilitate communication within the group and to keep track of our various efforts.
The yahoo group will contain a FAQ on meeting your local lawmaker.
There will be a spreadsheet of Northern California lawmakers where members can volunteer to setup a meeting with their local Congressman.
We discussed putting some formal structures in place to make people accountable for specific goals and to allow volunteers to focus on specific tasks.
Our volunteers with experience in marketing will develop a plan to publicise out name and goals.
We discussed a proposal that we meetup in person in mid January. This meetup will be the official launch of the state chapter.
The next meeting of the Northern California chapter will be announced before Wednesday December 6th.
Thanks to everybody who attended the call and volunteered.

On April 11, 2007, Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican from Nebraska, introduced the High-Tech Worker Relief Act, which is aimed at providing short term relief for U.S. employers who cannot recruit or retain needed talent to stay competitive because of the current visa shortage. If enacted, Senator Hagel's bill would:
� Raise the H-1B cap for fiscal year 2007 from 65,000 to 115,000, and for fiscal year 2008 from 65,000 to 195,000, allowing the quota to revert to 65,000 by fiscal year 2009 if no further legislation passes.
� Exempt foreign students who earn masters degrees or above in the United States from the H-1B visa numerical limit.
� Exempt STEM advanced degree graduates who have 3 years of U.S. work experience as a non-immigrant from the numerical limit on employment-based immigrant visas, in addition to those who are deemed to have extraordinary ability, are outstanding professors and researchers, and whose presence is determined to be in the national interest of the United States.
� Exempt spouses and minor children of the principal applicant from employment-based immigrant visa quotas.
� Exempt foreign physicians from the immigrant visa quota if they agree to work full time for five years in an area with a shortage of health care professionals, or if they work for five years in a Department of Veterans Affairs health care facility.
This seems to be a very nice bill with limited and non-contraversial provisions unlike SKIL bill. SKIL has somany provisions that makes it hard to convince the law makers. But this bill is very nicely drawn by getting impartant ones that we all need.

Anti immigrants will have a field day over this.
I can just about hear the headline on Lou Dobbs, "H1bs buying greencards, which should after all be a priviledge and not a comodity for trade on wall street."
AILA will never support this and will matter of factly lobby against it behind the scenes, the more mess and confusion and delays in the system the more work for them. The only reason they support increasing EB numbers is that on the net effect (faster processing vs increased volume of applications) they come out ahead. This is always the case with lawyers, they are exceptional at looking after the interests of their profession and in this case you are asking them to cut the hands that feed them.
All in all, it is a great idea but will never fly in my view and furthermore will be construed in a negative light. It will backfire.

While i got my AP last year i did get it very late. I had applied in June and i got the AP in December and based on my application, this is what i found out
CIS (Both Texas and Nebraska) will recieve you AP and store it but will not start the AP processing until unless you specify the travel date soon.
In my case i applied in June but the AP document stated travel on December 15th. While i did get the receipt number within 15 days nothing happened on my case till december 1st. That is when i saw a LUD on the case and received the AP within 15 days
I dont think that date that you specify matters at all. On my recent application, I put down April 15th as my travel date when I applied in Feb but till now no updates.

I just got a letter in the mail stating that my GC is approved. When would my GC card be mailed ?.
On a thankful note, My experience with Jean Martin has been very good. There was no hickup at any stage. Some of my friends were caught up with their employers who would either slow down the filings to retaing the employee for a longer period or negotiate harder. With such apprehensions I had pursued my GC process. Except for a few administrative delays here and there mine was a smooth sailing. My salary went from 60K 4 years back to over 150K at present. I had referred 3 of my friends so far who just got their I-140 filed.
As far as the "DOL audit", I did not receive any such notifications and 2 more of my friends even got their H1's approved in Feb' 08 !
Forums are being used to just air grieviences, but I think we should also comment org's which do a good job. My 2 cents
And the Oscar goes to

wandmaker - Thanks for your help.
I talked to my immigration person at work he said that it's better not to put spouse name in there - especially I didn't have it in my older passport (as I got it before marriage).
Any other thoughts/concerns are most welcome.

Assuming (very big assumption) S1092 goes thru house and SKIL through Senate, sound like the two bills could be reconciled in a committee and a hybrid gets through?
I am getting tired of anticipation and guesswork...Will try to focus more on contacting lawmakers.
Can anyone from core team give us some guidance on whether we should talk specifically about SKIL and S1092 when we talk to lawmakers?

if processing time dates are as per notice date, then i assume USCIS might have not entered all application during July 2007 before July 15 since they reversed the july 2007 bulletin. If they are processing by notice date , then how come they have processed earlier dates of July cases during last year for EB2 PD 2006 cases.
This is so confusing. Could it be they are processing cases by receipt date (not notice date) since it took almost 18 months to move processing times to Aug 15. If it had been processing by notice date, processing dates should have been showing Spet dates.
Gurus , Any comments?
Let say, if they are processing by notice date, i may not be able to get GC this year june/july 2009 when EB2 India PD dates move to 2005 or 2006 though my PD is OCT 2004 .
You are looking for a software type precision in this manual information system. For monthly processing dates publications, perhaps boss asks IO's to provide info on where they are. IO's open file in hand, look at the top page, see Mail Room stamp "Received on...", and provide this date. Others may have another hand written date "received at TSC...", which may be close to ND, he/she might use this date. Even others might have different definition of when case was received. So, these dates could mean anything. May be boss instructed what dates to provide. Such intructions may very from center to center.
So, don't look for a precision. Just hope that the moment case is being looked at, and IO moves his/her hand to get a visa number, your dates are Current. If not, your file may be put back, or may go to another shelf called Pre-adjudicated, etc. It is also possible that your file is on a Pre-adjudicated shelf for a while, and no one really thought of looking there.
For your last statement, yes, processing seems likely in order of ND, which is true receiving date of physical file.

You cannot sue an employer for not filing your I-485 for the short period of time when everybody's PD is current. With your I-140 approved, you can file 3 year H1B extension till your PD is current again. You can transfer H1B to another employer also. Then apply I-485 when PD become current again. It is you have to apply I485. No employer role in it. Only a job offer letter. But I-140 must filed by the employer, which he done. So his part is fine. I think you are ignorant in immigration matters. Here people waited to file I-485 from 2000 onwards, able to file this June-july 2007 period only. Yours PD is recent, need to wait till become current. You only missed EAD and AP benifits by not filing I485. You didn't missed your GREEN CARD!!!!!!!
IV Gurus,
Please help me on the following:
I am here on H1 (8th year extension), Perm Labor approved and I-140 Approved.
However my employer promised but did not file I-485 petition.
Lawyer is tight lipped.
What course of actions I can take at this moment.
a) Can I change my H1 during 8th Year, as I am left with 12 months only?
b) Can I sue the employer as they are greedy?
Your replies are appreciated.
Thanks

According to my knowledge, you have to file for 485 on your own, it is not your employer's responsibility.

Yes, you are rite. As per my knowledge, (gathered from asking lawyers & INS customer service), H1 does become invalid once you enter on AP.
My lawyers categorically told me that entering on ap does not invalidate your H1B. Using Ead will invalidate your h1.
You can enter on ap and successfully renew your h1 thereafter. There are people who have done this.
While i know this information is good, you should check with your lawyer to avoid any complications.

Stay away. Don't make people fool.
You suck money of immigrants. Your name in the evaluation is enough for USCIS to DENY WITHOUT EVEN READING IT.
ALL MS WORD file find and replace with candidates names.
Just to update folks, for 2010 - when properly handled I have seen virtually 100% approvals when there is a 3 year bach + 2 year MA + 5 years of work experience as = MA for EB2. AIME = BA and + 5 years work = MA for EB2. When the PERM requires MA the 3+2 = MA for EB2. A 3 year bach+BED is considered a single source degree for EB2.
The proper reference material always needs to be cited. Anyone in need of information about this email me <she (at) cci123.com>

I think all folks except you know this . You have been a member since 2007 and have only 13 posts. That just shows either you don't visit IV forums that often or you were busy with threads that only you are interested in..
No of posts doesn't means that I don't visit often..Yes true. Why should I read something in which I am not interested earlier..
It has been mentioned in a number of threads that only recurring monthly contributions get donor forum access. I wonder how you could have missed it . It was not in fine print but in large letters.
I think there are other folks who are missing it too...It should appear right at the place where folks are making contributions (i.e. when they are clicking on contribution button) but then it may decrease the donation..I don't think letters are LARGE enough..The issue is it just doesn't feel right..I know such effort needs lot of money but employing such tactics won't help the cause. May be admin should come with better alternatives...You are dividing people here: If you don't have enough money we won't give you full information. Fine with your folks if it seems right to you but I won't agree with such strategy. It also doesn't work other way: If I contribute $300 today, one time, I won;t get access but if I do similar contribution ($25*12) I'll get THE access.. Thanks You and ALL THE BEST
