I have listened to the three main "Conservative" talk show hosts, Michael Savage, Sean Hannety & Glenn Beck. They are just like politicians and will do anything to retain their popularity. They are experts at twisting sentences and putting words in the caller's mouth. And when they feel they are losing the discussion, they start shouting 'GOMP' (Get Off My Phone) - very much like kids.
Sure they like the food, but thats where it ends. Their main audience is the WASP crowd.
It's better to avoid. Plus what do we stand to gain - hardly anything.

UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..
I was in similar situation last year. This what my attorney told me after layoffs. They have to wait 6 months after layoffs in the company before filing PERM again. The perm filing process in big companies take atleast 2-4 months. So if they are planning to file after 6 months then this is right time to start collecting documents. For this to happen it might need little push from your manager.
If your company is in a situation where they are planning to layoff people continously over the next year(I know one big company which is doing this) then it is better to talk to lawyers right now and decide the course of action because there is no point in waiting until april. If your manager strongly supports your case then some times lawyers can pull off tricks like there are no layoff with this particular skill set or in this division etc..
I dont know of any big company that is hiring. If your resume is hot(has specialized skills) then put it in dice or monster you will always find employer.
You can always switch to consulting and find consulting company which applies for GC right away.

It was a disclaimer. I never said it was bad for you. But there have been people estimating it will still take 2-3 yrs for eb3 to reach 2005 ....is that true????.. i have no idea since the data cant be broken down at PERM level.
I just wanted to underscore that my promising feeling might not seem promising to someone else and that I under stand what they r going thru...nothing more than that

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?
Answer to Myth1: If your 485 gets denied, you CAN fall back on your H1, provided you are still working for the H1 sponsor and your H1 has not expired. If your 485 is denied, then your EAD cannot be renewed but is valid to its expiry. Your AP on the other hand is no longer valid as it depends on the 485 for survival - Immigration will check your 485 status during secondary screening. H1 is standalone and does not depend on 485 status.
Answer to Myth2: You can keep EAD as backup to change employer or even work for current employer. Your H1 extension is based on 140 approval and not 485. If your 140 is revoked, you cannot extend your H1, unless you have an approved 140 with another employer.

MrWaitingGC,
My H1B is valid till April of 2008. When i went for vacation and entered the country in March 2007, the guy at the border patrol did some mistake and put the date on I-94 as 16th sep of 2007 instead of April 2008.
Your status is governed by the I-94 date and not by the visa expiration date.
I tried to get it corrected at the local CBP office but could not do it ... So i am planning to make a trip to Canada before my visa stamp expries to get a new I-94 which is valid till April 2008.
But since i have sent my passport for renewal, i am not sure if I can make the trip bfr my I-94 expires.
And also i am not sure if i can file for extension of my H1B as it is more than 6 months ( it is about 10 months early) before the expiration date on my current H1B.
You can file for H1 extension 6 months BEFORE STATUS EXPIRY date (16 Sep 2007), so you are ok and while extension is pending you can continue to work for the H1 employer upto 240 days. You should get new I-94 with the H1 extension approval notice. You don't need new H1 visa stamp until you travel out of USA.
At this point i am helpless with out my passport. I hope i get it soon.
So what i wanted to find out is, is my status still legal after 16th sep 2007 if i file my 485 ...
Like stated earlier, as long as your employer files for H1 extension before Sep 16th 2007, you are ok.
See above in Blue.

Folks i got a LUD on my AP 7 days back and again LUD 5 days back. But the status didn't change nor i get any letter of so far.
Does this means i'm on my way to a RFE :) If they send RFE does that gets reflected on the Online Status ??
Thanks much!
Online status would change if you have a RFE on your AP(as matter of fact for all forms)... Normally it says "A notice was sent asking for additional evidence"

Hi PD:
Greatly appreciate you for sharing this link. Rons post is really an eye-opener for those who lose good opportunies in their career, just to maintain H1 status. "The applicant would no longer be eligible for H status beyond six year. Since the applicant remained in H status while waiting for his AOS adjudication, all of that time would count against the six year limit. The applicant would not be allowed to remain in the US in H status following the AOS denial because that would involve a post-six year stay" is a valid and logical point, which many of us would not have realizewd.

Mr. Vayalar Ravi , Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs,is coming to USA on June 27,2006. He is coming to Washington DC on July 4 to meet Indian Ambassador and Indian community. We should try to meet him personally and explain the problems we are facing. He can talk to US counterparts and do something for us.
Let us organize an event to meet him on July 4. Since It is a holiday, lot of people can meet him and chat with him.
Any comments from IV Core Team ? Can we contact the Indian Ambassador to arrange a meeting with the minister ? is it possible ?
This is a Golden opportunity !
First of all what you want honorable Minister to do. Ask him to talk to US Congress to pass the law so that we get GC faster. Let say he speaks on our behalf. All I see happening is things getting worse rather than getting better. Those who are on the other side of the table will get a point to oppose to those who are supporting us. This is what going to happen. Every provision that is supporting our cause will be opposed by the fact that it has been done under the influence of foreign Government in this case it will be Indian. Organizations like numberusa is vehemently looking for a way to prove that how all pro-immigration provisions are anti-american. So we hand over them the Jackpot.
Whole idea of involving Indian Minister looks to me like small kids involved in a fight seeking help of their parents to get the issues fixed. Here we are not dealing with neighbors kid. Lets grow up..

What will be my status after i file my I485?
My current I-94 will expire on 16th Sep 2007 (on the day my current visa stamp in my passport expires and my current H1 B is set to expire Mid April 2008).
I am planning to make a trip to Cannda or someplace to get a new I-94 as soon as i get my new passport (i had sent it for renewal on june 2nd). But i am a little worried about my status if i am unable to make the trip.
So my question is what will be my status after 16th sep 2007 (once i file for I485 (first week of July2007) and my I-94 expires on 16th Sep 2007)?
Appreciate any responses ...

Press coverage in India is an excellent idea. I think this bloody american press is biased. We should all write to Indian press and highlight our issues in strong words. If we can get 100+ letters to TimesofIndia, HT, IE , NDTV, Deccan, Hindu, etc, we can highlight the discrimination and indentured servitude to the young Indian generation who has high hopes for USA. If 100+ H2B workers can stage dharna in front of an embassy/white house why cant issues of Indian people get highlighted? Lets us show the job here in the same light as slavery in middle east. I am sure David Mulford will be ringing a few phones after that.

Folks - Amsterdam, Dubai, Brussels are the best way to go. 4 years back, I had problems with Lufthansa, I did not know I ahd to take transit visa and they never allowed me on flight and I had to travel the next day by going to german consulate in morning get visa and went back in afternoon, and surprisingly they had blocked me for that day. Until then, I always used to travel ONLY by lufthansa, but after that experience, I never wanted to. I always fly emirates and I like it.

I started the US immigration in 2006, PD-September 2006, by CP, EB3ROW. DS230 renewed 3 times since then... a couple of months ago I applied to Canadian PR, now I am waiting for my interview date. So I have two processes parallel - US GC & Canadian PR. My question is : How these two immigrations can jeopardise each other? :confused:
Logicaly I will attend the Canadian interview first, will they ask me about US immigration? should I tell the truth? Will they deny the PR because of the GC process?
Presume that I have successfuly done with canadians and have landed in Canada with my PR in 8-10 months from now, and suddenly, I,ve got an invitation to the GC interview... :eek: Does the fact that I have a Can. PR will kill my future GC and at the interview the will deny and cancell my case? :confused: Or The interview will be successful and I will have my GC, but somewere in the future there is a point where I should refuse one - GC or PR? :confused:
I should mention that the GC is the choise No1 , and PR is a plan "B"...
I believe that my situation is not unique, but now I am out side the US and in my country it is difficult to find a competent lawer. So I hope that somebody from this forum could answer my questions.
Appreciate all useful answers and ancillary information. :):)
