If you are talking about the discussion. then am referring to the items and not the discussions.Have I missed these items some where that are like the above. Then we are good to go. Can you let me know if the action items already there tries to encompass all thes issues and possible solutions. Ofcourse I know every one is talking and discussing but didn't see a concrete list except a description on the front page saying we are fighting for the cause of GC aspirants and some smaller descriptions.

Thank you for your advice. My last M.Sc. and Ph.D. is from the USA. My Ph.D. is about manufacturing of aircraft brakes with Honeywell.
EB1-B or EB-2 is more suitable for me?
what bothers me is that I am not cited in the literature yet and I do not have awards.
Thanks,
John
Since you have a PhD and reserach in Aircraft Braking Systems, which can be argued as aircraft safety and in national interest, you may qualify for NIW. It all depends upon you how well you argue your case as NIW and how good are your recommendations and support documentations. You need to get your papers published in reputed Journals and also get onboard of journal publication evaluations.
You also need a good lawyer (however you will end up doing 90% of work because of your unique field of research). However I would not recommend Murthy or Rajiv, because NIW is not their speciality. You need to go to a lawyers who have NIW and EB1 as speciality.
EB1 is not a good category for you, as of now, but it may change depending on your career progress.

USCIS has known to send straight denials even though they are supposed to send NOID when an employer revokes 140. There are many examples where people sent in ac21 or not.
However; in just about every case it eventually got reopened. In the mean time there are many anxious moments while waiting for uscis to reopen the case (can't get ead renewed/ if outside the country wouldn't be allowed back on AP).
USCIS sometimes takes their time reopening the case (upto 7 or 8 months). If you don't have h-1b then there is no legal basis to stay here while waiting for the case to reopen. Can't work, etc. However; if you overstay by six months and they don't reopen the case then the 3 and 10 year bars will kick in and you can kick the greencard away.
Key thing is whether employer revokes 140. If they do then it causes anxious moments. USCIS has also started to revoke approved I-140's on their own when companies respond to rfe's on other candidates 140's (ie., ability to pay for all people together). If uscis revokes it on their own then ac21 does not protect you at all.
I think we are confusing multiple issues here. Once the 6 month period is over where the I-140 is approved and the I-485 is pending for 180 days it does NOT matter if the employer revokes the I-140 or not. You are good to go! (Unless ur a classified terrorist or a criminal).
The only question is, Can you still get a 3 year extention based on a I-140 that is revoked? I am thinking that may be an issue. In that scenario, you would be forced to play the EAD card.

It's all about money my friends. Legal are already paying taxes. What they want is all these 12 million people to pay taxes too. Once these ppl come forward and apply for legal visa they will be backloged and will keep paying fees and taxes. After 20 years another cycle.
Nothing is going to happen for legal. All efforts r waste.

One simple and effective way to increase membership is to get your spouse informed and registered.

If DOS has set the priority date for EB2 India to Jun 2006, and USCIS does not want to waste visas, they have no other choice but to forward the processing dates at NSC/TSC. Even though the 485 processing dates may not move significantly in much awaited July Processing dates publishing, the August Processing dates bulletin will show the massive forward movement (485 processing date will reach till June 2006).

My LC and I140 approved (PD: may 2004). Applied 485 on Aug 8.
I became father last month.
My new born son is sick and he needs total attention for next 4 months. I have used up all my vacation and planning to apply for medical leave. Pediatrician recommends me getting medical leave and support my wife.
I work in a very big hardware company. I have completed 3.5yrs in H1B so far.f I apply for medical leave, I may get a pay cut (like 20 to 30%). Will I be affected because of this medical leave? Are H1B's allowed to take medical leave (upto 4 months)..
Your comments are very much appreciated.
thanks

Hello gg_ny,
It is too scary.. Plz note that the surname change is after mariz.. As per our convention, after mariz, wife's surname changes to that of husbands.. We have the mariz certificate with us.
Is this still that major problem, as earlier explained by you?
The problem as I it was traveling on your old passport after you obtained a new one. You could have travelled on the new one attached to the old one and your change of name document.
I concur with others...you need to sort this out fast before you land in trouble. See an immigration attorney quickly. My 2 cents.

Both me and my wife are working on EAD.
Our AOS is pending since the July 2007 surge.
My company lawyer recently renewed my H1 (to have it as a backup) and also suggested that we renew my wife's H4.
I received my H1 approval and wife received her H4 approval.
I also visited India and re-entered USA on a new H1 stamp.
My lawyer himself is worried now whether he got my wife into H4 status since her approval in May and that since she continued working, he is worried that she technically "worked while on H4" which is not allowed, based on the last action rule.
Can you advise if we have created any issue by renewing her h4?
Also what is the remedy for this.
According to me this should be of NO issues, since a person is allowed to maintain his/her H status while AOS is pending, as per the dual intent doctrine. Also I think the last action rule is applicable within a specific category. For example when a person applies for h1/h4 at almost the same time, both are non-immigrant categories, then if USCIS approves h1 first and h4 later, then the last action rule would get applied and technically person would become h4. BUT this should not affect the AOS application since its a totally different category, thats a immigrant category.
Please advise if we did anything wrong by renewing her H4 and any solution to fix this.

1. If I-140 is not yet approved and withdrawn, you lose I-485/AP/EAD.
2. I am not sure why they cannot file a second I-140 based on PERM LC right away. Seems to be a no-brainer to me. Must be one of those lawyer things :)
http://www.hooyou.com/eb-1/faq.html
Q: Is it possible to file two petitions, such as an EB-1(a) and NIW, at the same time?
A: Yes. Some of our clients file two I-140 petitions simultaneously. Some clients file three I-140 petitions at the same time. There is nothing stated in the law that prohibits multiple filings. Multiple filings increase your chances of approval.
Thanks for your responses guys. Now I understand that once I withdraw my old I-140, my I-485 is gone.
Reg my question 2, I know that people file 1 in EB3 and second in EB2. Or after one is approved file another one with earlier PD LC. But, is it possible to apply for second I-140 in the same category (EB3) when another one is already pending? Have any one done this before?. Could you guys point me to some links?
I asked this question to my lawyer. No response yet. I would really appreciate your response.

Hmmmm! if i understand correctly 7%- 8% interest is given on FIXED deposit (of Rs 50 lakhs or more ) for 5 or more years i.e person gets money after 5 years. How will the person meet expenses for first 5 years ?
This also means he can never buy a house ? I guess how many families would never want to own a house ?

Well it seems the idea to get a Stimulus for 2008 for people having spouses with ITIN is nearing dead end (no action). Now the government is planning another stimulus. I think we should work on taking the necessary steps to prevent the same happening this year (being dropped out). I think we should raise awareness and write to all people including President Obama.

Obama declines using administrative action to push immigration reform
By Michael O'Brien
Excerpt:
President Obama suggested that he would not pursue reforms to the
immigration system through regulations or other administrative policies.
The president said it was important for immigration reform to go through
Congress, lest opponents of comprehensive reform use regulations as a
political opportunity.
"You know, it is a very difficult thing to do administratively, and because
we want comprehensive reform, and because we want the Dream Act, what we
don't want to do is give an excuse to the opposition to say, 'Obama's trying
to do an end-run around Congress,'" Obama
said during an interview on Telemundo ....
Obama has faced criticism from the Hispanic community for failing to follow
through on his pledge to reform the immigration system. He told members of
the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) last week, though, that he would not
"walk away" from reform, and called on Republicans to join him in passing
legislation.
But Republicans in the Senate have appeared unwilling to find middle ground
with the president over immigration. The Senate GOP has said it would oppose
including the Dream Act, a piece of immigration legislation favored by many
Democrats, in the Defense Authorization bill.
"It appears we're not going to get this done before the election," Obama
told Telemundo of the Dream Act. ...
"We've got to build a consensus around this country," said the president. "I
think we can."
