I don't know why but we tend to be satisfied with lsmall benefits...
I agree with you "something (EAD and AP) is better than nothing"
But i bet you ..you will find your self in the same situation of agony and endless waiting for the final Green card.
I bet most of the people don't use your ead and AP as it puts you in a gray "Adjustment of status". They are good to have though. But you will see...how painful it is to decide to use them or not..
What i want to say is that being able to apply for EAD and AP is not the end of the battle..you will be stuck in a depressing situation waiting for the final green card.How do i know? .. I went through it...waiting for GC for the past 4 years.
I dont know its FBI or its just the USCIS incompetence but waiting in the final stage is horrible. Every time you travel you are scared...AP as for as my lawyer goes IT does not guarantee 100% entry in to the country.
After you apply for AP its only 1 year H1 increments.
What i am saying why dont we try for the overall improvement of the GC processing. Why dont we be firm about not wasting the GC numbers and recapturing the unused numbers.
We had a small revolt (peaceful way) and its successful.We dont want to stop there.
LETS FIGHT FOR THE OVERALL IMPROVEMENT OF THE GC PROCESSING
I hope you guys are with me..looking for your comments
I agree. The short term relief will be short term. After a year or so we all will be frustrated with the delay in getting GC as that point we will already be tired of renewing EAD (and Advance Parole??) every year. We must work on capturing the unused visas. Otherwise the feeling is correct, no GC for several years after filing.
USCIS allowed filing but there is no guarantee they will open those envelops and starts working on that. They have a good excuse and that is called THE BACKLOG. I think we should suggest Dipa Nair to make a move named "The Backlog" and I am sure bollywood in India can do a nice entertaing job for that as well.

Great Dude,
Kudos for voicing your opinion !, its upto every individual to choice his/her path, currently their is sheep herding mentality going on (you know what i mean ;)
I have been in this country since 2000, no GC yet, as a matter of fact if my company does not apply for labour in a couple of months , i am sure to go home, my company has said it would apply, but is taking forever. In hindsight, i feel i should have never left India, i have lost on my career development, lost some of my dignity, and feel that i am treated as a 2nd class citizen.
I have decided the GC is for a chosen few ;), not for everybody, I guess i am a coward (whatever that means ?), I prefer to exhuast my H1 and go back Home with some dignity and self respect. It's like this, US is like a mansion (or rather appears to be) , i asked the owner if i could get in, he said OK, i asked the owner if i can stay longer and be here (GC), the owner said he would think about it, now the owner 'OWN's' me, since i have stayed in the mansion for quite long, I am used to the comforts, and not sure if i want to leave or fight the slave trader. I for one, refuse to be labelled, bonded, and treated as 2nd class citizen. I am off to my birth country, and for me its the greatest country, ever on the face of the earth, and i really feel sorry for abandoning it.

I do not mean to be negative, but this immigration debacle does not seem to end. How long do we have to freaking endure this nightmare? IV has been trying for months now...When do you think we will have immigration relief? Are we just going to end up being like thirsty deers in a desert chasing a mirage in search for water?
Are there any astrologers in the forum? Does any astrologer see the retrogression ending soon?
Viva
Relax !
There is a saying in Hindi which goes like this:
" Kismat se zyada aur waqt se phele kabhie kissi ko khuch nahi milta"
CIR will come through. We just have to be patient and keeping pushing for our demands. The whole country acknowledges that immigration system needs to be fixed. I'm sure something good will come out of all the efforts.
Cheers

can u provide a link. This rule is bad for AILA because of the loss of revenue and hence they were against it. But since this is in the "Final Rule Making" process there's not much they can do. BTW u don't need to have the I140 approved for the LC sub to go thru. U just need the labor substitution approved stamp before the rule gets published.
go to aila.com, then go to "additional recent postings" (approx - center of page-under -just posted-greyed link) look for -

Can we hold back two weeks outing for dinner and contribute that money to IV.
Sure i can and i did $200. More follows at the first sight of some hope after the recess. Nonetheless, Core Team please keep up the rock solid motivation and spirit to get us through this ordeal
For the record, this is my 9th yr in US and about to file for my 4th EAD. With July 02 PD in EB3 .. not sure what and when to expect. You bet i am from retrogressed country.
I can only hope this team do not loose their spirit with any setbacks.

I actually had to go and visit the URL to really make myself believe that someone can be this dumb. Well to each his own.
One thing I did notice was the comment "it is soon becoming the voice of rich and/or EB2 Indians only -- all other categories will either have no direct advantage with the efforts put in by IV, or they will actually see some negative effect from its activities. But that will be the case with any organization that claims to stand for a particular class. In reality, every core group will stand up for it and only itself."
Does someone care to explain this? I am EB3-ROW, I have occasionally donated and occasionally called but I don't think IV has ever HURT my case?
On a side note: just on the off chance that the comment is true and IV is truly a community of RICH Indians: can I borrow some money? :D :D The eay I look at it, if 50 of these rich, EB2 Indians give me $ 10,000 each, I can get my GC by investment and I will pay you all back in 2 years. :p

Before this thread takes a turn where supporters and opponents of this idea start another forum war, let me say this clearly:
IV is not going to adopt this as an agenda item. The reason is quite simple: H4s not being able to work is low on priority of problems that need to be fixed in order to mitigate retrogression or other consequences of retrogression.
And frankly, we do not have extra kind of support to add new agenda items on our list.
A whopping 200 people signed up for recurring contributions of $20 per month. Out of 8000 people who registered here and got emails about it. However, almost every week, there is no shortage of new ideas and no shortage of opinions on those new ideas from people.
We get $20 deposits each month from 200 people. But as far as opinions are concerned, we get hundreds of them each week. How nice? I wish we had some machine to convert those opinions into dollars.
If you dont agree:
Now, if someone feels offended by this, and feels that H4 issues are orphan issues, or if this organization does not represent them anymore since IV does not want to adopt H4 related issues on its agenda, and if that someone wants to leave, then please leave without any threats and feel free to start your own organization.
And this thread has all the features and ingredients neccesary to become a forum war. If that happens this thread will be deleted.
I am very dissapointed but very glad you finally said it, wish you did 6 months ago.

To me; it looks like it could be a shift in change of policy. In the denial notice; it is the same officer number who sent the notice of intent to deny. Therefore; it is not a training issue; looks like something else is happening.
training issue is when they send straght denial after 140 is revoked.
UnitedNations,
Whatever be the shift in policy, they cannot go against the AC21 law, which is if the job is in similar classification then the applicant can use portability if the underlying I-140 is revoked. Also you must have seen the latest yates memo , link, http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/AC21Intrm122705.pdf
If you see Q.11 it asks,
Question 11. When is an I-140 no longer valid for porting purposes?
Answer: An I-140 is no longer valid for porting purposes when:
A. an I-140 is withdrawn before the alien�s I-485 has been pending 180 days, or
B. an I-140 is denied or revoked at any time except when it is revoked based on a withdrawal that was submitted after an I-485 has been pending for 180 days.
Answer B seems pretty vague. How do you interpret this?
Also can you tell, if the case you are referring to is based in TSC or NSC. I have seen cases where TSC applicants are facing this kind of situations more.

As mentioned In Logiclifes first post in this forum,
Organizations who have Millions of dollar In budget for pushing and lobbying their Issues failed also for whatever reason ( He did not mention reasons ).
Does that mean that having a fat budget does not Impact the outcome ?
What It proves Is Its really the Politics, election, People's focus on the Issue which matters and NOT the lobbying with big fat budget.
And If its the case then our issue will be taken care of on its own merit when all above factors are in our favour, regardless of lobbying.
Just a thought, I hope I am not upsetting the general trend of praising efforts.
It was thru lobbying (on which contributions were spent) that we got provisions added the the Senate's comprehensive Immigration reform last year. Without lobbying, all that would not have happened. No other group, industry, company or organization was working to remove the hard cap on country quotas in EB immigration. It was exclusively by IV and QGA's efforts.
Under certain circumstances , like the ones that existed last year with Jim Sensenbrenner as the House Judiciary Commitee chair , yes, even 10 million dollars spent in lobbying in one year cannot achieve even the smallest amount of law-change or regulation. No matter how you approach things, you cannot bypass House Judiciary committee regarding immigration provision. And you cannot bypass the chairman of that committee.
However, things have changed significantly this year and that is why every effort done this year will make a difference. Biggest portion of the effort is lobbying and it can work if its given time and done patiently. And yes we do need contributions for that.

I will write to him.
On a side note, It appears that false propaganda is being spread about our taxes and SS contributions we make to raise more anti feelings about us.
To the contrary we contribute to the SS coffers without making use of it. We need to counter this.
Thanks pls follow up with him. more people writing to reporters will help convert a suggestion into a printable Article
