As long as you are still doing S/W related job, don't worry about VB , C# or Java etc ...I myself used AC21 rule to change the job and got GC in September.. I know a lot of ppl got GC after using AC21. Most of the ppl, I know (including me) did not inform USCIS about AC21. Ron Gotcher was my attorney and according to him, sending AC21 documents might complicate the case. Also, he informed me that AC21 rule is practiced in a very liberal way by the USCIS ... so don't worry ...

I am not part of the founder org. but I am just shocked at the venom you show in all your messages.
Your goals so far has been
1. Complain and rant about things.
2. Discourage people for participating in IV.
3. Trying to do a "divide-and-conquer" within IV.
IV is for all legal EB based immigration - it is very clear in the mission statement what is its goal.
Also, even if IV was as myopic as you claim, future generations of EB immigrants wll benefit simply by virtue of the fact that people currently in line will not fight with them for GC.
I have been an IV member for a long time, from the days when IV was 50 people org. One of the goals of IV has been to avoid personally maligning people, so I will refrain from that, but if you want to take up this matter, send me a PM with your email address. My email address is mrajatish AT yahoo.com.

Hi, I just got the H1 extension receipt, did you gave expired I94 when you travel ?
Thx
You need to always hand over your I94; whether it is expired or not. When you re-enter into this country you will be issued I94 based on either your h1b or AP or what ever visa you might have that is effective at the time ...

We never had to tell the IO to do anything. They knew what to do.
But if some IO tries to keep a copy of the original after the initial time - I would tell them that it is the only original that you have left.
But we never had that problem to deal with.
Thanks do I need to specifically tell the immigration officer at port of entry to make a copy?

The only time they keep an original is the first time. After that they never keep the original but return it to you when you return.
My wife and I only had 2 AP originals when we applied last year and made 2 trips outside the US. So relax and dont worry. You're fine.

I did call them several times in an attempt to talk to different individuals, but all them have said try contacting the area post office. I don't think area post office will be able to give any other information.
Are you considering to re-file the case. Or would u be waiting to get the packet back?

In addition to the above questions:
USICS had stopped the movement of EB2/EB3 dates by not allotting visas and on the other hand they had also added too many restrictions on H1 extension [like valid Purchase Order for all visa extension], no matter you have approved I-140. These days they give H1 extn for only that period of time till PO is valid. That means if the PO is valid for 4 monnths one gets H1 extn for 4 months only and if it 6 mths then extension for only 6 months. This means that after 4,6 months one again has to apply for H1/H4 extensions and again pay all those fees.
This really sucks !!
Is the intention of all these laws is to catch fraud or kick out all immigrants from this country ?
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Yes, to some extent they do want to end the use of H1B for contract related jobs.
Benching, percentage basis etc were not in H1B rules. Now they are trying to crack down on all that. They are trying to make the H1B-body shopper business model un-viable.

I had seen similar post by some one and poster says he was asked to work with receipt by customer service of USCIS.But it can't be validated and again your employer will ask for renewed EAD to be frank this is a quagmire of uncertainties .

True. Best possible window of action may be immediately after a Democratic victory in 08. Probably will take another Clinton to undo what the first Clinton wrought with 245(i).
2 consecutive victories may make Demoractic party more confident and may be more willing to pass some GC reform. As of now with so much in
stake and getting power after more than 10 years they are more cautious.
Example: Nancy wants to take up the Bush immigration agenda only if he manages 70 GOP votes as they dont want to be branded as amnesty party
in 2008. As of now things are going in their war because of the mess in iraq
resulting is massive independent voters more inclined towards DNC.
DNC had good chance to take over WH, Senate , Congress. If the DNC primaries elect a decent guy like John Edwards ( H Clinton and Obama
wont make it at national level )

Call customer service - select the address change option and when you get to a customer service agent give them the receipt number and they will verify the information on it. If it doesnt match they will advise you. Then you know if its your receipt number or not.

According to OH Law's website:
11/02/2007: H.R. 3043 Conference Update - Both Immigration Bills Killed!
One good news and one bad news. According to the AILA, the Conference committee took out both immigration riders from the H.R. 3043. It means that there will be no increase of the H-1B to $5,830. At the same time, there will be no recapture of EB-3 visa numbers for the Schedule A workers through this legislation.

After a lots of effort I got chance to meet the great man J.B. Wow he was very nice. I told hime everything and showed the FedEx print out which he signed for the 485 delivery.
He appologised several times and went inside to the mail room after 40 minutes he came with a +'ve result with another appologies for his mistake. He told that the some of the packages are piled under the desk (hiding for the eyes) and he coudn't move the packages to clearks room. He moved a bunch of fedEx package to the clearks room, and took mine seperate from the bunch and put a note to the cleark saying his mistakes.
I thanked him and went to hotel room, after couple of hours I got call from MR.J.B and gave the receipt # for my whole family. I thanked him for the courtosy and afternnon I again I went to meet J.B and thanked again and tiped around $ 100, suddenly he started yelling at me...oh man..this was my fault, and u tiping for Nonsence....I got panicked and start sweating....

my 485 got denied lastweek as my previous employer withdrawn approved 140. I changed employer after 1year of 485 pending. I am filing MTR..
Sorry to hear that!Are you still maintaining your H1 status to continue working?As per my company if you have time left on your H1 (6 years - #of years of used H1B) you can use that to continue working.

Please do not lose heart. We are working behind the scenes to get things moving. Nothing will happen just for EB3. Things will happen for everybody together. Don't ever let anyone fool you saying that something will happen only for EB3-I or EB2-ROW. Because no matter how much we want, things don't work like that. Everything will get done tother for all categories. We are causiously optimistic about the bill in Jan-2010. Hang tight and please actively participate in the action items.
