Thanks all. I read the petition and I think it is great work. Yes, we need to send messages like this as a group.
Allow me to quote from the petition:
"It is required by law to pay an H1-B a minimum of $40000. "
I'm not challenging anything here, but can someone please point to the source of this? Is this Federal?
Again, I'm not challenging this. I just would appreciate some pointers so that I can learn more.
Thanks again.

Please read section 201
"(ii) is offering and will offer during the period of authorized employment to H-1B nonimmigrants wages that are at least equal to an annual salary of $40,000 (including cash bonuses and similar compensation), except if the employer is an institution of higher education (as defined in section 101(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965) or a related or affiliated nonprofit entity, a nonprofit research organization, or a governmental research organization, and".

Got a call this morning (at 8 AM) from an IO at local office telling me that my case was approved.
After an hour, around 9 AM, I got another call from USCIS. I was pleasantly suprised with how polite the lady was. She told me that she was following up on the inquiry I had sent. She repeated what I already knew, that my case was approved on 10/26. I am assuming this was in response to the letter I had sent to USCIS secretary Napolatino. She congratulated me a couple times and I thanked her for calling me.
So folks who are waiting, please try everything you can. Draft one good letter, and send it to everyone you can and hope that at least one of those authorities will look at your letter and do something about it.
I also want to thank SeekerOfPeace who shared his letter to Sec. Napolatino with me.

I have responsed and sent sample letter to all requests I got before 8 AM PST this morning. Also, sent out the contact info for the TSC officer.
Please do not email me and ask me how to reach an officer at TSC. I have already posted the instructions in this thread so that everyone can see/use it.
@ leoindiano
Where is your case? You should call and talk to an IO and find out. It will be good if the IO can put in a note in your case on which 140 needs to be used. After around 100 calls, I managed to talk to a very friendly IO, she put in a note and asked for my file to be pulled out of storage (I believe that is what happened in my case). I was on the phone for around 20 minutes with this IO and I couldnt believe how a IO could be so friendly and polite :) Have you treid CIS Ombudsman and USCIS Sec. Napolitano?

@ geesee
Do you know if they have a record of everytime we talk to the CSRs?
I have only been able to talk to an IO once, and I feel they definitely have more info than these CSRs who are sitting there like bots. To get to the IO, I basically had to tell them that I have not opened a SR so far (which was not true).
When I tried calling yesterday, I told the CSR, that my attorney opened a SR on 1st September and if she could kindly transfer my call to a IO. She said she will not be able to transfer my call, as I had already opened a SR. When I told her that I already got a response for the SR, so I now need to open another SR, she said she cannot as it asked me to wait for 60 days. I requested her a couple times to please transfer me to a IO, she said, Sorry, cannot do it as you have already opened a SR.
I am planning to call them next week again, will tell them I have not opened a SR yet. Atleast, I will then get to talk to a IO.....!!

Folks,
I am speaking in my personal capacity here. While I am all for freedom of expression and assembly, I don't think that rallies will in any way help our cause. We have to talk to people and participate in various forums to make them aware of our cause. Standing and protesting is not going to help us, because our voice will still be lost in the din...we need to speak where it matters and be heard where it matters...
RR
I am not saying rallying is the only way, but do remember that participating in rallies will get us some recognition.
CNN will always ignore us thanks to our friend there, but has New York Times ever reported our plight? Has Jim Leherer ever talked about us? The main stream media does not even know us!
We need to do something that catches the attention of the media; just getting more members and more funds may not be enough. We need to write letters to editors of major newspapers like NYTIMES and WASH POST.
I am so glad about the strong reponse to this thread.

Although we cite the cost savings (from renewal of EAD) most people if not all who prefer to keep H1 status will definitely renew their EAD/AP just to be safe. On the AP case, I got 3 copies of multiple entry APs. My attorney told me to make copies of it and give only copies at the POE and point out that it is a multiple entry document if the officer wants to keep the original, so that the original stays with you.
This is interesting. I am trying to understand the reason why we should give copies. If you have three copies, and at POE they take one and return two, how does that harm you. I mean what is the point of keeping all three if there eligibility is 1 year and you don't expect to go out of the country a second time.
I think the advise is based on the following :
1) You need more (original copies - if you keep giving originals at POE) if you travel quite often.
2) Not every one got 3 copies. Some only got two.
3) Some officers may insist on taking the original and some may understand and accept the copy. So it is always useful to keep more originals.
4) It is ALWAYS safe to keep ATLEAST one original copy even if you think you won't travel within the validity for emergencies.
5) Although the originals after expiry may not be useful but that strategy to keep originals wont hurt. Why give the original when you CAN give a copy.
I thought on the same lines as you did when I first saw that letter from attorney, but I am going to follow the advise.

This is not related in any way to Immigration.
Not related, correct! - That's why he posted under 'Interesting topics' where many other non-immi topics are discussed. Those who are not interested will choose not to visit the thread by looking at the subject line.

Not wrong.. I said it's "being" cancelled..
OK. I overlooked that.
The rule, how I understand it, will not do any harm for those people who's I-140 is already approved. But there is still risk if I-140 is not approved and labor substitution is banned.
So it all depends on how strong the case is and how much risk is tolerable.

Hi All
Where u take SBI or ICICI they will not tell you the date on which the actually transaction was taken place. Yes its right that they keep money with them for 2-3 days and remit only when they see that exchange rate will increase.
I have used both, in my personal opinion SBI offers good rate than ICICI.
Again, this may be not correct because we don't know the time they update their web site to reflect the current exchange rate.

My parents visited last year. My dad had to undergo some treatments. ICICI never paid a dime. They kept me waiting for almost 9 months. Then finally decided it was a pre existing condition which isnt the case. I was just sick of calling these guys & finally decided to give up.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Can some guru put this issue to rest? I guess the only question that remains is:
"For a person who has extended his H1 beyond the 6 year category on the basis of AOS, would this H1 extension be valid if I-485 is denied (either wrongly due to AC21 or otherwise)"

Date and Time of Delivery matters.
All july 2ND FILERS... DOES THE DATE OF FILING(mailing date) MATTERS OR THE DATE OF DELIVERY MATTERS?
I think most cases delivered on July 2nd is filed on June 29th or 30th.
If USCIS decides to use the postmarked date as the filing date then it would be trickier for those whose PD was not current in June but have "filed" on June 29/30.

Hello,
We have used the following plan over past 3-4 years (though never had to file a claim)... it offers coverage for pre-existing conditions as well...
Visitor Health Insurance, Pre-existing condition coverage, AIU (http://www..org/)
Any insurance is good until you have to use it. It is nice that you didn't have to use it.
However, the fact remains that the 's plan is a fixed coverage plan that has sub-limits for each and every procedure. That means, it wll only pay a fixed amount and you will pay the difference yourself which can be a big amount.
It is always better to buy comprehensive coverage plans that have no sub-limits.
