I already sent one. Trying to do something about the problem is fine; grumbling over things that we cannot do anything about is not.
It is definitely not OK to be posting unconfirmed data as above.
I am on a non immigrant visa and am fairly close to getting my green card through EB-1 under current system - so am basically screwed if the new law passes. I have sent my share of web faxes and have made my wife/ friends at work do the same. I view green card as a logistical convenience and not a do or die thing. If GC does not work out and my work visa upper limit expires - my company would move me elsewhere (or I can get another job somewhere else)....I dont consider myself beholden to any country except India (my country of birth) and would happily move around till I can afford to settle down comfortably in India
However, if I think rationally without being condescending, here is my take:
Legislators in a democratic country are answerable to the people who vote (that excludes all of us). If the Indian MPs start listening to the thousands of neighboring country (no offence intended - just illustration of a point) immigrants while making up their mind on any legislation - I would be damn pissed off - regardless of whether they pay taxes or not.
When we all came to US on work visas - US Govt did not make any promises about green card nor did they extend an express invitation to most of us (there may be some exceptional scientists/ educators etc here and I beg their apology)......the contract was between us and sponsoring employers..not with the US Govt...US Govt may choose to legislate the way they deem fit without asking us or listening to us- regardless of what 1 million folks have to say
The opposition to the new law from skilled, legal non-immigrants is not united....nor are the demands uniform....a divided front can never be a strong front.
No matter what IV or any other organization does (not to take anything away from the great work being done here)......the senators/ congressmen would listen only to those who have voting rights....I dont think anything is being done here to change public opinion of the common US citizen.....and I am not even sure how to do that....common US citizens think that Indians (and other work visa holders) are here to take away the nice white collar jobs which they took for granted.......
Senators/ congressment do not (and they should not in a real democracy) have any opinion - they are supposed to mirror the opinion of the voting majority...the reason they care about the illegal immigrants is because the ethnic segment from which an overwhelming number of illegals come from - their legal US citizen brethren have put their electoral weight behind this.....since many families are like 50% legal and 50% illegal......

My EAD is pending in NSC for almost 2 months, Filed on June 9th (Efile), got fingerprint notice in June 3d week, done on Jul 8th. Nothing happened after that.
Since my dates are current (EB2 I, June 2005), I am just thinking they MAY aprove my 485 instead of EAD. Just a thought. What do you guys say?

We got FP notices for me & my wife on 01-25-08. Finger printing date is Feb 6th, 2008. Same date, same time for both of us. Just perfect!
We filed our I-485 application/EAD/AP on July 6th, 2007.
Ours is a transferred case (NSS-CSC-NSC).
Did not open any service request.
Looks like they started processing transferred cases.
People who have been waiting should be getting their FP notices now.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Contributed $300 so far..

I think I have joined IV in last 3 years or so...
Donated money once & have called congressmen & senators many times ...
Could someone please tell me -
What has been achieved by IV till date? I know we all meet elected reps, officials in washington dc ..... but I am interested in end result like not wasting visa numbers , implementing spillover & along these lines.
I have asked few friends to join IV but then if they ask me for IV accomplishments - i can't count any....
(1) Reversal of July 2007 bulletin
(2) Two year EAD AP
(3) Currently working on Same similar job ( AC 21).
(4) Push USCIS and DOS to publish data.

^^This is not gonna happen... and even if it did....well I guess the companies will finally take notice when there are no new people to hire and fire and their bottom lines are hit with permanent hires for every small and odd project......guess what that they will do then....outsource more work to other countries......:)
Good or bad, Virtue or Vice, companies simply can't hire permanent employees with full 'American' benefits for short-term projects....this where the consulting leeches come in.....its all supply and demand man....

Sarcasm ? Or is he really our friend ? Bad at remembering names.
-M
That's ok, totally understand.
Sorry, I did not raise my arm to indicate that it was ALL sarcasm. Durbin is aginst H1B. Although his press release says that he is not against green cards, but thats just bull.
And if he is appointed Labor Secretary, that will be the last straw to break the camel's back.

thanks for your supportive words for CP filers now CP filers need some relief as they are not able to get an EAD/AC21. I think we could ask to allow CP filers to file 485 with out having dates current and conserdering their CP filing date to get EAD and AC21.
Thanks everybody we need your support to come out of this situation.
:rolleyes:
Dude you can convert from CP to AOS even after filing for CP. Your CP can be canceled. Vise-versa is more complicated. Even murthy.com had some write up on this. Go search their website.
Talk to a lawyer and stop cribbing here. Your situation is nothing different from others.

Guys - why is the Hike in immigration fees conciding with strong opposition to funding of the Iraq War.....These funds may well go to Iraq....as Bush is not able to garner support for additional funding from congress.
--------
No, most of those funds will go to sister agencies like ICE to catch illegal immigrants, they will not go towards expediting processing, improving efficiency of USCIS.
01/31/2007 08:00 a.m: USCIS Proposed New Filing Fee Schedules to be Published Tomorrow
* The controversial proposed new filing fee schedules will be published in the federal register tomorrow with 30-day comment period. It is anticipated that the agency may be flooded with the comments from the immigration stakeholders and public during the period. One of the issues that may be raised is the basis of calculation of fees, to wit, whether it is required to cover the increased cost for the processing of the immigration benefits applications as caused by the inflation or, as reported in the CRS, most of the fee funds will be generated to fund the other divisions of the DHS such as ICE and CBP. For the CRS report, readers may want to reread our posting on December 22, 2006 in our Archive XIV. If it is the latter, there is a room for substantial dabate in the Congress, the DHS oversight authority, and potential lawsuits. Please stay tuned.

Friends,
I am worried if I would have any problems converting to H1 since I am practically out of work force since 2000.
I have 3 yrs worth of exp prior to moving to the US on H4 visa in 2000.
Do you think I would have any issues with getting H1?

Let me correct it.. I read somewhere that it is considered not a major problem if some one is out of status for less than 180 days cumulatively.
Sorry you answer is not clear to me. You mean I was out of status and I will have problem at 485 stage?
