Alright friends, so we now have a lead item on Times of India on this effort.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-2183334,prtpage-1.cms

Whoever put this on TOI did a awesome job ... great work guys ... this is absolutely amazing ... Thanks to everyone ...

thanks akred for refering INA. I went through it now
In I485 application "Part 2: App Type" Option b (derivative status for spouses and children)
is actually related to quota listed in INA Sec. 203. [8 U.S.C. 1153] a - 2. (family quota)
and not to INA Sec. 203. [8 U.S.C. 1153] b - * (employment quota).
IV Core. Can something be done to highlight this issue in your conversation with authorities ?
This is good idea. But Family GC's have a wait queue of 10-15 years. Only immediate family members of Citizens does not have queue.
But this is a good point to note when our Lobbyists discuss with USCIS.

Yeah, I know my life sucks. I have a priority date of Jan 2003. Got filed under EB3 even though did MS here... I begged and pleaded that they atleast send it on Jan 28th. For god's sake, I was qualified all the way since June 1st. I gave all the documents necessary by June 6th itself. Well, but they had to file on 29th.

My attorney is not organized man. he is #$$%%%^. so worried whether he sent it or not. Is your wife working too by any chance.

we get excited before and few days after the bulletin ...the fact is that iron is no longer hot ..no matter what we do now -- it is too late. democrats focussed on healthcare instead of immigration and are fighting a losing battle ..they will be too tired to do anything after that. for those in EB3 and those who are in EB2 (but not yet filed 485) ...all they can do is have a strong plan B ..make as much money as you can while the sun shines ..the odds of getting a GC is worse that winning a lottery (so might as well buy few tickets now and then !!).
the only slight hope is that since amnesty is as good as dead ..they may pass some sort of recapture (maybe to give additional boost to housing).

Another clause which dreads me ... "Waiver of Rights"
5. Employee also understands and acknowledges that there are other state and local human or civil rights laws as well as other statutes which regulate employment, and understands and acknowledges that the common law of contracts and torts may regulate employment in some fashion. Employee hereby waives and releases any rights he may have under these or any other laws or contracts with respect to his employment and termination of employment at the Company. He agrees to give up any claims he may have against the Company, alleging that they have (a) discriminated against him, (b) breached any contract with him, (c) committed any civil wrong (tort) against him, (d) sexually harassed him, or (e) otherwise acted unlawfully toward him.
These kind of agreements doesnt stand in any court .You can always say that you are forced to sign for your livelihood period.Esp. if he is a desi employer he even doesnt dare to go to court as that will cause more damage.

Yeah! Its common sense dude! Lets keep the 50USD in pocket when one has job rather than contributing to a cause that might help keep the job or makes voice heard when a bad bill comes out.. Choice is yours and your friends. If you/your friends are expecting a GC because you paid 50$ towards this effort, I dont know what to tell. If you/your freinds are expecting to hold xyz accountable for every single penny of the donation, that is not the attitude that will bring US together.
Ask your friends to understand the word lobbying and advocacy efforts. How much work it takes to hire a firm and get strategic advise? How much a firm that advises strategically and positions the issue strategically charges per hr? If an IT consultant is charged at the rate of 100-200USD by a big consulting company, Imagine how much would a consultant such as these people on the hill charge? I dont know but I wont be surprised if its north of 500USD an hr.
With out IV, The only two things folks on the hill knew were illegal immigration and H1B visa. Now more than 75% offices know the EB issue inside out and have a position on it. This is an effort that needs to be continued until we get a solution.
"What is the action plan for FUTURE"?
Relief from Retrgoression. Continued advocacy efforts. is it that difficult to know? I dont know but it seemed obvious to me.
Please see my answers in BOLD. Please do not assume I am mad to put in BOLD. This is just to make my point more VISIBLE.

YOU GOT US WRONG.
THEIR POINT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME. THEY ARE WILLING TO SPEND MONEY, AND DO KNOW THE COSTS INVOLVED.
THEY ARE SPENDING CLOSE TO $5000.00 EVERY YEAR FOR 1 YEAR HI-b EXTENSIONS, VISA RENEWALS, EADs extn, APART FROM THE STRESS AND PAIN DUE TO THESE BACKLOGS.We cannot put a number on the pain this has created.
THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT $10, $50 OR $100. THEY ARE READY TO SPEND EVEN $5000.00 AS I FELT, BUT THEY WANT TO SEE THE ACTION PLAN. YOU CANNOT SAY I WILL WAIT AND WAIT AND THEN WHEN WE NEED TO, WE WILL START A CAMPAIGN AND THAT IN SHORT NOTICE WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THAT MONEY. WE UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT OUR QUESTION IS WHAT DID WE DO IN LAST NEARLY 2 YEARS APART FROM VOICING IN 07 FIASCO.
With out IV, The only two things folks on the hill knew were illegal immigration and H1B visa. Now more than 75% offices know the EB issue inside out and have a position on it. This is an effort that needs to be continued until we get a solution.
WE UNDERSTAND AND WE WANT TO MAKE IV VERY STRONGER TOO. WE DID RESEARCH MANY SITES AND FINALLY NOTED IV IS ONE OF THE BEST WHERE SO MANY PARTICIPATE (READ AS "GIVE IDEAS, BUT NO ACTION") ALL THE TIME. WE DIDNT SEE ANY OTHER SITE WITH THIS MUCH PARTICIPATION AND HENCE WE WANT TO STICK TO THIS AND COLLABORATE HERE.
"What is the action plan for FUTURE"?
Relief from Retrgoression. Continued advocacy efforts. is it that difficult to know? I dont know but it seemed obvious to me.
WRONG. "RELIEF FROM RETROGRESSION" IS NOT THE ACTION PLAN, THATS ONE OF THE END RESULT. WE NEED TO KNOW ACTION PLAN. LOOK AT THE CURRENT STATE OF HOUSING. WE EXPECT A CAMPAIGN TO TOUCH THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO SEND THE MESSAGE HOW WE CAN HELP IN HOUSING, JOBS. WE OFCORS DO NOT SUPPORT WE GO THEIR WITH IMMIGRATION BANNER AT THIS TIME FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. DONT YOU THINK OBAMA KNOWS IT. NOW DONT COME BACK WITH 20% DOWN PAYMENT. WE NEED TO TELL THEM HOW WE CAN CONTRIBUTE.
YOU ARE A PHD HOLDER, OR YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO HAS EXPERTISE IN SOMETHING AND CAN CREATE A JOBS. THATS WHAT THE GOVT WANTS TO HEAR. AND HERE YOU ARE NOT EVEN WISPERING..
AGAIN "RELIEF FROM RETRO" IS JUST ONE OF THE THINGS WE WILL BE FIGHTING FOR,. THERE ARE MANY OTHER ISSUES AND FOR THAT ALSO WE NEED TO CONTRIBUTE IN MUCH SMALLER AMOUNTS EVEN AFTER OUR ISSUING ARE FIXED. THATS COMMUNITY.
Finally one question to ALL.
If we see a good action plan from IV Core and a date, how much are you willing to contribute.I am now ready to do $2000.00 instead of $500.00 as I said before. I am not very well-off to do this much (my friends are, though). But this looks to be nothing when compared to the loss many faced waiting 5-10- years. So I will do.
Feel free. Remember how it feels like if you get it. and dont forget how much you are spending now for different immigration related issues. How much are you ready to contribute to IV.

ok. Assuming BILL pass during the lame-duck session... what is timeline for it take effect? I believe the president has to signed it and it take 90 days from that date to be effective? Experts?
Any stratergic ideas, if positive news does not come out during the lame duck session?
I did not know it takes 90 days; that is too long a period of time. But nobody is hopeful of the bill getting passed during the lame-duck session.

Hi, all:
I have a few questions regarding changing job, if anyone knows it , please reply to me. My current situation is:
(1). I-485 was sumitted on 07/2007 and it is still pending. EB3 category.
(2). EAD card valid until 10/2012.
(3). H1-B visa valid until 03/2012 through my current employer.
I find another job which similar to what I-140 describes. But this new employer is a job agency and unwilling to tranfer my H1-B visa. It wants me to work on my EAD card on 1099 form.
So, my questions are:
(1). Will it be problem if I work as independent contractor on 1099 form not W2 form?
i think you can do this on EAD but confirm with and immigration attorney
(2). Is there any problem to new my EAD card since I lost my H1-B visa?
you can work on EAD without H1B but you will be carrying more risk
(3). Do I need to inform INS about this job changing? If so, what docuements I need to submit?
Yes you should file AC 21 related forms and supporting documents. your new job should be in "same or similar" category as you GC job as defined by dept. of labor job codes and descriptions.
BTW its not INS anymore its USCIS
(4). What if my current employer revoke my I - 140, does that mean my GC will be denied? what should I do if I want to keep legal?
Make sure you obtain a copy of your approved I-140. If your current employer revokes it, USCIS might send you a RFE or NOID and you will need to respond with letter of employment from the new employer and submit supporting documentation that your I-140 was already approved and that your new job is similar to the old one.
Thanks.
