well, let me add my story but it is the same as others..
Hubby has already achieved the maximum in his position and would most probably have to pass any promotion opportunities, so his problem with the whole GC process is that he has to stay with current employer and continue to suffer professionally.
My problem is just like the guy's story few posts above. I have all teaching credentials and 3 years of teaching exp from my home country as well as US teaching License. Jobs are coming my way all the time, (my credential is from a shortage subject area), but H1 doors had closed forever due to the USCIS interpretation of the famous time issue for H1 & H4 visa holders. :mad: :mad: :mad:
When I got a job offer, by the time County HR made official offer, H1 quota ran out for that fiscal year. The same thing happened two more times. Oh, I forgot to add how I have been following my spouse over the country for all of his projects...
Then I read about people who actually change their mind and do not want to utilize their H1 after all!
Ha...!!
Even taking up a teaching job on J1 visa is closed to me...:mad:
Am I angry? You bet I am...
Not even an EAD in sight for another 7 years. Well, I am not going to sit around much longer. Just got word that it will take 60 days to transfer my US teaching License to Ontario and jobs are plentiful for someone with my content area as well.
As soon as I finish my Masters Degree I am off to Canada. :D :D Don't care for US or green card any more!

Talk to a lawyer and get the answers.
I do, but I don't get all the answers.
But if you're on travel and questioned by immigration upon entrance if you're still working for sponsoring employer, depending on the circumstances, they can take your GC away. So that's another scenario separate from an audit or citrizenship interview that GC jeopardy may arise.
Didn't think about that. but... why would officer ask "do you work for the sponsoring employer"? Isn't your GC same as family based, asylum, etc. green cards? Does officer even have that information right away? What do they ask usually?
If circumstances change, like you getting laid off or fired, that's a different story. If the sponsor's intent changes, and that does happen, then obviously, you're free to move on. But you should be able to prove that, with say a termination letter, for example.
I don't see the difference between being laid off and leaving yourself. In case of being laid off, your employer has to show intent of employing you forever. If any document will surface, that he had plans to lay you off before applying for I-140 or without you invoking AC21 at moment of AOS, then you are in the same trouble.
All the way one keeps thinking that you are free to start a business, look for more exciting opportunities, go work in starbacuks...( yeah all that )...once you get a GC..
But, now everyone is talking about again sticking to the sponsoring employer, a green card being revoked while entry...and umpteen scenarios...
So, where does it end..when can one really feel you can flex yourself and do something without worrying about my employment history...
These issues are raised not to start freaking out, but just to know them and not to do some silly things.
In general... take this philosophically - it never ends. If not immigration, then something else will always be. Just know the law, keep your paperwork in order, don't talk to government employees without a lawyer, flex your mind, and do your thing.

PD - Sep 2002
Labour Certification approved - May 2005
I-140 - Not filed yet
I am about to file I-140 (PP) and I-485 concurrently beginning of June.
But looks like the the May 21st cut-off screws it up completely.
I have heard someone say that I might escape the new law if I get a Green Card before the law is enenforced on (10/1/2008). Does this assumption even hold any ground? Doesn't the proposed bill say that anyone who has filed I-140 after May 21st 2007 has to reapply regardless of where he is in the process.
Gurus please advice.
Your are good , do not worry.. file I-485 and take advantage of that.
You have waited a very very long time.

Please! do let me know if you find any insurance company offering a million dollar whole life insurance for $100 a month!! :eek::eek::eek:
As someone said, you really need good luck finding one!
I never said whole life,term could cost around $100/m if your health is reasonably good at 60's not for heart disease or kidney transplant patience.
If you are not aware you could pass on your term life insurance proceedings to your heir
one of my family member have whole life for $81/month for $1m at the age of 28 in NJ, in this plan we will get back everything we paid after 30 years.

Hi all!
Please visit this link !
Comprehensive immigration reform probably doomed - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_immigration)
THis is precisely what I had said yesterday! The issues HAS and WILL be kept alive, FOREVER!
In a way it is good because, now we can plead with both parties to think of LEGAL WORKERS like us!
If this ends the "hostage drama" by the "illegals" we should be more than happy!
What next???
Thank you!!!
So you think we can only Plead? I agree.
What special do we have to offer that makes us important than CIR?
Ask yourself
Votes: no
Contribution: no
How many of our employers are pleading for us?
How many citizens are pleading for us?
If you say we are paing taxes so we should get greencard. That does not make sense. We are using roads, hospitals, infrastucture of this country and we pay taxes as long we live here.
If you say we invent new things, start Google etc then these people qualify for EB1 and it is always current.
If you say we have USA masters then we can apply in EB2. EB2 will get current next year or its wait time is going to decrease and will be 2 years max. So 2 years or less is a reasonable processing time within a 6 year H1B processing time.
I am playing devils advocate here and trying to tell you to think beyond pleading. We did not come to this country to plead. Once you start thinking negative there are many negatives as I have written above and you will go in depression.
Who is stopping you from Meeting lawmakers? Have you done that?
Who is stopping you from contacting media? Have you done that?
Who is stopping you from contacting your CEO of the company and ask for help? Have you done that.
Who is stopping you from contacting organizations of Indian American citizens and ask for help?
Who is stopping you to do rallies everymonth on weekend in every state. Why are we not doing it if we are so depressed with Greencard.
Who is stopping you from contributing to IV?
Who is stopping us from doing lobby days in DC once every month?
Why can't we do. I have tried to do at least one item in this list. If we all at least pick one item, it will be enough.

The Schedule A Workers category has become oversubscribed for November and a cut-off date established to hold number use within the 50,000 numerical limit. It is expected that demand will bring allocations up to the program limit during November. Once the limit is reached no further allocations will be possible, and the category listing will be removed from future cut-off date tables.
A PD for Schedule A category is for those people filing under EB2 with exceptional skills in arts and sciences . We had a post recently. Nurses and PT's do not have PD's as they do not have to file Labor Cert in the first place.

I revisited this thread today and saw several heartwrenching stories of some of our IV members. One way for IV to help you is through letting your situation be known to others via media. We have a few opportunities and if you are interested please send an email to himanshu at immigrationvoice.org. Do not PM me since my PM box gets filled very often.
It will not only help all of us generate awareness about our plight to american public, lawmakers too will be influenced by the magnitude of problems we face while waiting patiently in line for several years. I feel media is a great tool and we can use it very effectively when we all can get our message across in the world outside of this forum. Once we get IV members ready to volunteer for such interviews and to talk about their plight, IV will try its best to get their voices heard.

I do not think they told us the lies, I think we raised our expecations too much, we did not do our homework. its one of those advertisement gimmicks,
where they say everthying is free and at the bottom of the page there are all kinds of restrictions written in small fonts.
thanks
BS. i found out about the 10,000 visas rule after 5 years here. before that it was always "you'll do well, you know math and so on".
how many of you realize that the queue gets longer every year by _seven_ years? how many people applying for h1 know this?
its not that i didn't read the fine print. _they_ kept the fine print. i was never even allowed to see it.
and when i asked for the promotions etc due to me for my work, they said, you're free to leave.
the intimidation is clear.
in hindsight, yes, i should have paid a US lawyer consulation before coming here. but before coming here i've worked in 4 countries and the experience was always nice.
except here.

CIR? There is no indication that CIR will happen this year. Why wait for it? It brings up too much anti-immigrant sentiments amongst citizens affected by the recession.
We can just go ahead and support this bill right?
Is there an official stand on this bill from IV core?

I myself don't quite understand how exactly education and years of experience are translated into years of SVP. When on my PERM I had MS +5 years of experience required, they said on the denial notice: "The total time time for education, training, and experience entered on Form ETA 9089 equals 5". Which exceeds maximum of 4 years for level 7 (zone IV) and that's why they denied it (again, despite I didn't claim that that the requirements are "normal"). Apparently this 5 is not just experience years, nor just years of education. Does somebody understand how exactly the SVP time is calculated from degree and experience?

It is better to make two trips and do a civil wedding i know it is expensive imagine if she has a work permit u can make up for the cost in no time else she will not be able to work for many many years.
I am in a similar situation getting married in Sep07 and returning with my wife at end of Sep'07. It is little scary, as some say it might be risky not to apply along with the spouse.
Should I go ahead and apply for I485, EAD and AP all three at the same time now, or to apply just for I485?
I am not sure what advantage would be applying now, as I have to wait until the dates become current again, and I will not be able to use my EAD to maintain my wife's H-4 status.

At least it relieves some tensions when we do the predictions. These are vents for those who have been in the queue long time waiting for the Golden card (GC). Well, some of them would be sore on the looonnnng process.
We know that the relief is short lived once the bulletin come out.
Same things have been circling on and off.
Why should'nt EB3 move? EB2 alone need not move. The more things move in the immigration front, the more we could expect that they are trying to support the program than bust it.
Hopes alive.

I'd say, we've waited enough(6-12 years). I know we are all chasing the american dream (perhaps it is just a dream), we should just make peace and move back. Thank you congress, america for giving ppl (from so called 3rd world nations) like us the chance to come and serve this great nation.
mind you.. dont forget to take back your $$$
The idea is excellent. You go ahead. I'll follow you shortly afterwards.
