I am asking people to think before acting.
I am not opposing webfax. I am opposing webfax you are sending to promite illegals. These organizations are going to use you to market them self. Secondly nobody is going to read your fax if you even change the words.
Organizations supporting illegals will do nothing for legals.
If you think that by changing the words , you can use their fax to spread your message, then why dont you go to anti-immigrant websites and change their words and send faxes to support legals. You will not do it because you know anti-immigrant is written on top of the fax.
So why do you want to become a puppet of someone else.
psaxena if you really want to do something, how about collecting the names of all the people in the meeting and post their phone numbers on the forum. Then tell us what to say and we will all call their offices now.

I have US Masters and my job requires EB3 classification. I am a honors student with full scholarship ( for people who think having a masters makes them special).
I am willing to go to DC and talk to lawmakers. I am ok with the wait but there should be some movement.
Thanks

"But make sure that your to-be-used I-140, PD must have captured."
Not sure what this means?
What it means that when you apply your 2nd I-140, make sure you request for PD porting as well.

I am not sure the supplimental bill helps much to provide relief. it would basically create bunch of more backlogs at CIS and would even make 6 months to 1 year for EAD appoval , causing more backlog.

Folks:
I am one of the frustrated ones under EB-3 (India) with a PD of Jul 2003. My case is as follows:
I had 3.5 years of experience + MBA from India when I joined the current Job in 2001.
I applied for my GC in 2003 and the lawyer said since my MBA was not relevant for the current job (software engineer) and since my experience before the current job was less than 5 years, I should apply EB-3.
Currently, I have 11 years of experience (out of which 7.5 is with the current employer from whom I have applied for GC) and I have moved to Business Development that uses my MBA quals.
Can I change to EB-2? What do I need to do? What are the risks?
Any/all pointers will be appreciated

You get the FP notices, attorney gets a copy.
Best way to find out (if you missed it) is to call USCIS Customer Service number on your I-485 notice.
Don't think it's delivered personally - it may not get delivered if you filed a change of address with the post office, but it should be in your mail if you haven't moved/no address change, imo.

Who gets FP notice? is it attorney or us?
We also filed on July 2nd at NSC.. got EAD and AP. buit no sign of FP yet. we were also out of country for last 3- 4 weeks. Is there chance we could have missed it?

Piyush,
Your dependents are "in status" as their I485 pending. donot worry about it. You will receive your card within 3-4 days.
Currently they are of course in status. The problem here is with the RFE for which the poster does not have the required primary evidence. If the RFE is not answered (or even not answered to the satisfaction of the immigration officer), then the I-485's for the dependents would be denied, and then they would be out of status since the primary applicant is no longer in H1-B.

Visa Stamp in Passport: 13-Jan-2007 (I94 in passport expires on 1/13/07)
Current I-797 : From 02/24/2006 to 04-Jun-2007
3-Year extension based on I-140 from: 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010
In this scenario, if I goto India, say in Feb, get my visa stamping done, what will be the validity of my visa in the passport?
1. 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010 as stated in my 3-yr extension or
2. the date I went for interview till 04-Jun-2010??
If its the former, then how can I get into US during March '07 as there will be a gap in my visa dates in the passport?
I will send the same questions to my attorney but would like to know before hand, just in case, if my attorney tries to act smart :(
Thanks in advance for your responses...

The bulletin is 2 years old (if that is considered old, given the GC standards). However, no new bulletins have followed to void it. Unless I have been advising with the wrong lawyer and wrong GC applicants (many), there is no such thing as I-485 Approval before the name check is completed. Any third party would like to comment?
Of course, they will not "approve" your 485 before your name check is cleared. You misunderstood me or I was not clear. What I meant is this: if your name check is not cleared but all other work on 485 is finished (which I think I equated to clearing the 485 in my previous post; sorry), they will tell you on phone (if you inquire) that your 485-related stuff is complete, but we are waiting for the name check. (Also, they will wait for your PD to become current).
My main point in the original post was that if it takes them 2 yrs to check your name --- the name-checking process runs concurrently with the 485 process --- then the 485 is bound to be complete by the time your name check is cleared. The processing times of 485 can be gauged from the VSC (or relevant center's) bulletins. Those proc. times do NOT indicate the processing times for the name check. If the name check happens before the 485 process is cleared, great! If not, you wait for the name check; lots (and believe me tens of thousands) of people belong to the second group. Since this forum mostly has people stuck in the process at earlier stages, you are not going to find too many people with that kind of experience here.
So your respected lawyer is technically correct, but what he/she is saying can be very badly misleading!! One gets the impression that clearing the name check happens automatically with completing work on the 485 by USCIS.
Wait a minute; I thought the name check is part of the I485 approval (and for those who file I-140 and I-485 concurrently, part of the I-140 approval).
And the name check is certainly not a part of the 140 approval even if the 140 and 485 are submitted concurrently. If any lawyer is telling you this, please change him/her.
I hope what I said above makes sense :) Took me a long time to compose that ...:)

People do not agree and have different ideas - sometimes to the point of personal hurt! - this is natural. They have different interests and even when they have shared goals, sometimes their paths to those shared goals may diverge - this is natural, too. Yes, differences, discussion and divergence can lead to a final separation and then two or mroe new groups are born - and it can happen naturally and it does not have to be rushed or forced through censorship and persecution. But sometimes debates and differences actually help the whole group to stay together and find a better path or a better solution - in the heat of the discussion and in the fight of the dualling arguments a new idea, approach or solution is born. I do think that a lot of the most contentious discussions on this forum are actually the most important and interesting ones because those are the oens that will cut to the heart of the problem and reveal the real depths of the issues. Suppression of diverging opinions is the hallmark of dictatorships.
I agree with you and its good in many situations, but i think unfortunately this does not apply here... if we are not united and don't march together towards our ultimate goal... it will only make us look disorganized and we will come across as a bunch of self centered highly educated fools who don't care about the big picture.
For those who dont agree with what IV is doing, no one's forcing them to follow what IV does and certainly no ones forcing them to be here, but if you are here then you should at least trust the organization in what they do.
If you have ideas talk to the core and discuss with them in person or call them... i m sure they will be glad to take it up if the idea benefits everyone and not just me or you... breaking off driving folks in different direction is not the solution, it will snow ball into a big problem.

I have done my biometrics in 9/2009 and I am not sure if I need to do it again for ead renewal.
I have my lawyer contacted CIS and CIS said it may not required biometrics but she was not 100% sure and said she will put a follow up request on my file.
I am not sure what to do? my driver license gets expired with my EAD and will lots of pain if I don't get it on-time?
IV any help or suggestions to come across with this problem?

Don't u think that if X has contributed $1,000 and I have contributed $20/$0 I might be temped to rethink that I need to contribute more. It is not comparing $100 vs $200.
Think about it, any donation made by philanthropists are made public, i am not saying we are philanthropists here since we have a cause in mind. The reason is to prompt people to contribute. If this is not a key agenda IV then please ignore this post.
Your logic does not really make sense to me. If I contribute X amount, I do so because I believe in IV's cause (which is my cause too) and not because someone else has contributed Y amount.
I think we are all mature adults and not school kids, and do not require such kind of policing.

My wife worked as a consultant for first half of 2008 with a desi employer as an employee (on W-2). After many calls and emails we received W-2 Thursday that has income and taxes of only first two months. Now he says that he showed remaining 4 months as his profit so he can only send 1099. Please advise if I can take any legal action against this employer.

I agree that having things work efficiently without bribes is of course the best way.
But faced with a choice between bureaucracy that cannot be solved, or bureacracy that can be solved by paying a few extra bucks, which is better?
About USCIS using PP fees to pay salaries, arent the fees for non-PP also used for the same purpose? the same amount of work goes into it, the same number of people do it, the only difference is that with PP it gets done faster. Tell me, isnt that the definition of a bribe?
Not trying to convince you, but seriously I would like to understand if there is a reason for the extra fee.
Incentives are often given to workers for extra work. In a back-logged situation, people working at USCIS are working more than they used to (when they started these jobs). They may also need extra recources to clear these backlogs. I am guessing the extra money is being used for these expenditures.
