Coming in through H1 does'nt show your intention of becoming a permanent resident of this country. It only happens when the LC is applied. Although the entry date is an ingenious way, it will only create more issues. Now some one who comes in F1 can also ask for the same benefit when they move to H1, to take their entry date in F1 as their priority date. I believe the culprits are the labor substitution and the labor certification sales. Those are unfair. Stop labor substitutions, and if they need one, then use the 140 RD as the PD. That should solve most of the problems and people from using labor sub to jump the line.

I need info from the experts here. I am thinking of going with interfiling process rather than wait for the USCIS system to identify the case as current. One issue with my case is I-140 attorney (company lawyer) is different from I-485 attorney (outside company). My company attorney has forwarded the copy of I-140 to my I-485 attorney. Is I-140 copy enough or must submit original with the interfiling process ?
The following thread in Immigrationvoice says, lawyer needs to send original I-140 with interfiling process.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum2-retrogression-priority-dates-and-visa-bulletins/17441-interfiling.html (response by sanbaj - The lawyer has to write a letter to USCIS along with the original approval notice of the newly approved but older PD I140. )

Try your best to find a job. The market is picking up. At least try to join one of those desi companies even if they are offering a low salary. Just get past this time without making your situation a whole lot more complex.
Dont worry about lawyers, your ex employer revoking I140 - all that stuff doesn't matter now - just go find a job.
can they even withdraw 140 after more then a year now?

EVen though I was stuck in labor certification for 5 years and was able to file for my last stages before the mess, still I feel other folks in this immigration community should not be stressed like me . So, even though I can't make it to the immigration rally, I am contributed $100 rightaway and will try to convince my other colleagues on the same boat to contribute.

I think they advanced the dates to 2006 not to approve the cases but to collect new applications with the new fees.They approved couple of cases only to show that they r working on old cases (2006 which is old for them or however they interpret).

Due to 9/11?
Do you understand the frustration among people who want to make this work and who want to defend the system?
In other way, what good is there to follow the law while illegals have it easier?
Great question!
--- Answer
yes we understand (sure...). Two kinds of backlogs:
1) Processing backlogs, due to the surge and other issues. We try to provide services timely, we understand our responsibility (no info as to what is being done and how this will change in the future)
2) Limitations due to law: (PDs). Demands is greater than the visa numbers (China, India, Mexico, Philipine: You are screwed here!) => 20 years or more of waiting.

Cases are being pre-adjucated, So there are RFEs and other inquiries...After this, they will wait for visa number in PD Queue....which is a good thing...This assures there will be no wastage this year....
Anycase, it looks like there will be significant forward movement...
My estimate
EB2I will enter 2005 in next 2 bulletins.
EB3I into 2003 in next 2 bulletins.
I admire ur optimism.. :)

Hi
BOA is now asking me for I-94. In my I-94 it is stamped as"Paroled until July 29th 2010" - will they interpret this as my valid stay in the US being only till July 29th? Not sure how I can explain this to them
Chandana
Chandsri,
Do not worry, that is one of their procedures. They just go by the rules and documentation set by the underwritter. If you have your valid EAD and explain to them that you are currently on AOS status then it should be fine. If they said that we can not provide your loan because your I-94 is expiring soon, then just let me know and I will send you the loan officer's contact name that I dealt with.

My interpretation of:
40 (2) PENDING AND APPROVED PETITIONS AND APPLICATIONS.�Petitions
41 for an employment-based visa filed for classification under
42 section 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the Immigration and Nationality
43 Act (as such provisions existed prior to the enactment of this
44 section) that were filed prior to the date of the introduction of
265
1 the and [I]were pending or approved at the
2 time of the effective date of this section, shall be treated as if
3 such provision remained effective and an approved petition may
4 serve as the basis for issuance of an immigrant visa. Aliens with
5 applications for a labor certification pursuant to section
6 212(a)(5)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act shall
7 preserve the immigrant visa priority date accorded by the date
8 of filing of such labor certification application.
IMHO, the terms "pending" and "approved" are applicable only to I-140's filed before the date of introduction [May 15th 2007]. This is because there is no comma between the two terms "pending, or approved". This leads to only two scenarios:
1. I-140 applied before May 15th 2007, but is still pending as of the effective date [which could be Oct 1st 2008].
2. I-140 applied before May 15th 2007, and is approved as of the effective date [which could be Oct 1st 2008].
Only the two scenarios above are eligible to continue/file under the old system.
Thanks,
Jayant

I agree with mpadapa,albertpinto and other folks.
US is going to gain something.
- We are staying in the apartment more than 8-9 years, we want to live in the own house but we cannot buy a house.
- We have some idea and we want to implement it but we cannot do it.
- We want to send our kids in the private school but we are sending in the public school and charted school.
- We want to go for MBA/Higher education on own expense but we cannot do it.
- We want to buy 57-60 inch LCD TV and other luxorious items but We cannot buy it.
- We want to go on the Vacation/Home country but we cannot go.(Visa restriction for people whose H1 is expired or working on the EAD)
Money is required for all above items. Each item will give at least micro level boost up to the US economy. But without GC we cannot spend/invest our hard earned money. Because we don't know what is going to happen of our status tomorrow.
Another most important things, when we came to this country most of us were mid twenties and now most of us are mid thirties. We earned money but we gave best of time of our life to this country.
I would like to share some real life experiences from my friends so that we can debate the questionable topic of what America is losing by prolonging immigration benefits.
1) Friend A – (Current status - H1B) Came to US in 1999 for his higher education and later joined a Fortune 500 company on H1b. In early 2006, he quit and started a consulting company with his GC friend and transferred his H1 to the same company. He applied for his I-140+I-485 during the July fiasco and got his I-140 approved in May 2008. Currently there are 15 employees working for his company and the annual revenues stand at around $1 million. He is also planning to start offshore operations in the near future.
2) Friend B – (Currently in India) – Came to US during the Y2K era and later joined a Fortune 500 company as a consultant on H1B and immediately purchased a 3 bedroom home. He stayed in one of the rooms and leased the other 2 rooms to his friends and used the rental income towards mortgage payment. Four years later he sold his home for a hefty profit, left for India and started an offshore consulting company.
3) Friend C – (Current Status - TN) – Came to US during the Y2K era on L1 through a top MNC from India. Since his employer wasn’t sponsoring his GC, he applied for Canadian PR and got the same by 2003. He relocated to Canada, got his citizenship and joined a Fortune 500 company in US on TN visa. He’s not bothered about US GC at all as his Canadian passport provides unrestricted visa free access to 125 countries around the world.
4) Friend D – (Current Status – H1B) – Currently works for a Fortune 500 company as a consultant on H1B. He lives in a posh apartment and drives a Mercedes C class sport sedan though his GC process is not even initiated.
5) Friend E - (Current Status - US GC holder) - Came to US during the Y2K era and got his GC in 2003. Currently lives in a single bedroom apartment with his wife/kids and is known for frugal life style in spite of living in US for almost 10 years. So much is his frugality that he postponed purchasing a $500 worth laptop for many months so that he could save money towards his India trip. He still drives a late 90’s run down Honda Civic.
6) Friend F - (Current Status - US Citizen) - Came to US during the Y2K era and got his GC in 2002 and US citizenship in 2007. Currently earns close to $100K, but still lives in a single bedroom apartment with a frugal life style. As far as I know he had never washed his car (late 90’s Honda) and avoids eating out.
7) Friend G - (Current Status - US Citizen) - Came to US during the Y2K era and got his GC in 2002 and US citizenship in 2007. He purchased a 3 bedroom home even when his I-485 was pending and currently lives a normal life style just like many of us and plans to retire in India.
Hence the underlying fact is that, there’s no relationship between a person’s immigration status and his/her contribution to America and it’s crazy to believe that people will go on a spending spree or start companies as soon as they receive GC’s.
BTW I’ve got a Home Theater at my apartment and my current status is H1B with pending I-140 + I-485 :)

Guys, I was just wondering whether we can talk to Ron Gotcher/Greg Siskind to take up our case with AILA or USCIS. Ron Gotcher seems to be very very unhappy about this wrong doing of USCIS. Any suggestion?
