If someone has EB2 application, and EB2 is unavailable, but their EB2 PD is current with respect to EB3 visa bulletin date, will USCIS allow an EB2 to take an EB3 slot?
If not I wonder whether you can "down grade" by interfiling a new I140.

Since you asked what I am exactly doing here:
I am not here to discuss illegal immigration. I am here to discuss how we can put acceptable proposals out there so we can all get out of this mess, or at least get out of here a little faster !
Folks, allow me to tell you that we cannot succeed in this fight if our strategy remains wrong. By no means we shall find ourselves supporting what is against public opinion in our host country, which is now America. You guys from time to time, now what is called senior members from IV, pst phrases which may be PERCEIVED as an attempt to disguise the status of illegal aliens movement. Undocumented immigration simply doesn't exist. There are numerous ways one can find oneself without documents. I outlined an example before. "Immigrant" is not the correct designation if you never immigrated here. Start by showing our alignment with this country by using the correct term. We may be better accepted that way. By the way, wake up, is in major part thanks to the illegal aliens that many of us are stuck.
Tomorrow you can go to India as an immigrant. The day that you find yourself pushing for more immigration than Indians want, it is the day you will not be welcome in that lovely country anymore. Italy is a sweet country, but people are fed up with immigration there. How about France ? America is next. The lack of sympathy for immigration is in the air. Which are our chances to fight against it just because we conceal our proposals ? Minimal.
Sure. Do you want another one ?

I appologize profusely for the misunderstanding... entirely mea cupla. :(
Anyway, you won't have to worry about having to see any bit of me anymore... perhaps there's somewhere where someone who shoots non-Canon equipment that doesn't have a CMOS or CCD inside it is welcome. Goodbye.
No need to apologize or leave and this site is not just for Canon or Nikon users but a site that is communal and not dictated by opinions.
I hope you don't leave.........I'd miss your valuable contributions. To add what Matt said about water under the bridge........the water flows but the bridge still stands.

You are right and I don't know the circumstances vicks_don had chosen to post this. As I posted elsewhere (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=43868&postcount=662), now the time is ripe to act decisively.
Note: I am posting this, one more time, in this open thread, as the above post is behind a login.
A small step for special interests ... a gaint leap for us
I had watched this forum growing by leaps and bounds over the past year. I personally know how the core group is acting towards our stated goals. Now an opportunity has come for us, the foot soldiers to act in unison. As the title of this post suggests, we will watch, observe how big brother is acting and will emulate the same.
In this connection, I beseech (implore, beg, request, ask, entreat, plead, press, demand) to watch out the efforts to introduce / incorporate retrogression relief for healthcare in the coming days / weeks. Read the block quote in full and you will understand what I am saying.

The government's current Continuing Resolution continues federal funding until February 15, 2007. At that time, another funding bill must be passed. Similarly there is an Iraq War funding bill set to be acted on this Spring. Legislators have traditionally allowed urgent legislation to be attached to funding bills like these.
We have made inroads with many of these members' staffs. A personal relationship with one of the Senators would likely be enough to secure a Schedule A retrogression amendment as an attachment to one of these two bills.
The current strategy is to obtain a small Schedule A retrogression amendment (anywhere from 15,000 - 90,000 visas) in the Spring; we will then push for a permanent Schedule A retrogression amendment (Brownback amendment) whenever Congress considers Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Our contacts tell us that Congressional leadership is willing to allow the Brownback amendment as part of CIR.
But for now we have this small opportunity to secure 15,000 - 90,000 visas. Please contact Chris if you have any personal relationship with these Senators or even their most senior staff.

Q2: I-140 does not include any dependents. Without visa availability Child protection act does not work.
I guess that leaves only two options. Either leave US or file for his/her own Green Card application. Too bad.

Today, I filed an official complaint with IRS about this employer. They told, they are going to send a notice asking the employer to reply to the tax bearer within 10 days from the receipt of the letter. I don't know how the employer is going to react and if they would still provide a corrected W2. Hoping, they would provide, otherwise I would have to call IRS again after another 2 weeks time. I had to be on the phone line for almost 30 mins to reach the IRS customer representative. It is a real pain.

As everyone pointed out there are lot of things in favor of the employers, Attoreys & USCIS when I 140 is revoked. The only thing that comes to our rescue is AC 21 when followed as per the guideline which is currently not being done.
Guys, Please support the IV AC 21 Campaign and let us help ourselves..
like the historic successful flower campaign, can some one come out with a great idea to bring CIS attention to this issue? 'Satyagrah'??? Gandhi style fasting??? ideas?

Hi GCNirvana,
I found one of your earlier posts on this forum suggesting that 3 years back you were in the same situation as I am today - expired VISA and two extension approvals (797's). In my case, VISA expired in oct 09, current 797 expires 31 dec 09 and next (against I-140) starts jan 2010.
As your's was the only post i found on this topic, it will help me a great deal if you could let me know about your stamping experience. You mentioned that your stamp showed validity dates from both 797's, could you please share some more details on that? Did it have two start dates and end dates?
Besides, from another one of your posts, i gathered that it is best that i come back into the us only when my newer 797 is already active. i guess it wud reduce complications at POE. Would appreciate if you could give me some suggestions here too.
Well, i can already thank you for your posts as i really struggled to find information relevant to my case before i came across your posts.
Thanks.

Visa Stamp in Passport: 13-Jan-2007 (I94 in passport expires on 1/13/07)
Current I-797 : From 02/24/2006 to 04-Jun-2007
3-Year extension based on I-140 from: 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010
In this scenario, if I goto India, say in Feb, get my visa stamping done, what will be the validity of my visa in the passport?
1. 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010 as stated in my 3-yr extension or
2. the date I went for interview till 04-Jun-2010??
If its the former, then how can I get into US during March '07 as there will be a gap in my visa dates in the passport?
I will send the same questions to my attorney but would like to know before hand, just in case, if my attorney tries to act smart :(
Thanks in advance for your responses...

this is mainly due to July VISA Bulletin fiasco and thousands were allowed to apply for their I-485, due to USCIS/DOL July 2007 VB.
one moe reason lots of Citizenship petitions were also filed in July 2007 to take advantage of old fees structure.
All countries of chargeability and employment categories were made current, since Dol was frustrated with USCIS's slow processing rate for I-485 and had Dol not made the VB current USCIS would have wasted few thousand VISA numbers as usual.
Silverlining is that we were all given freedom of using EAD and get new jobs or promotions using the AC-21 provisions...but the long term side effect is the slow moment we are seeing for the processing dates.
NSC is slow since lots of high tech H1-B employers are from CA and WA states and they applied truck load of I-485 versus the folks in Texas Service centre.
We are all hoping that once USCIS is out of this naturalization processing pressure before the elections, they would start processing the July-aug 2007 I-485 petitions.

rimzhim,
Dont you get it. berkleybee was a great asset to IV as a core team. Atleast I felt so. Her/his analysis and post on IV were great. All of a sudden BB disappeared from IV.
So I figured BB and IV did not fell out. I for one have great regard for BB and will any day trust his/her analysis.
IMHO IV would have been much stronger with Raz4u , BB etc.
They just vanished.
I was not around when berekeleybee was here. I joined this forum recently because my old lawyer kept telling me the dates will move and I was not aware of the seriousness. anyway, looks like what this person berekelybee says is true, and that is not nice news.

You are making an assumption that an approved petition is an indication of a valid status for the entire duration of extension. This may or may not be true after the I-140 is revoked.
It is kind of dicey...If you are quick enough you can pull it off...
You can refer to some posts up above that some people have actually done it..
Especially if you are laid off you have not much to lose and try something ...
USCIS has traditionally not taken a hard line against H1B as far as I know...

They will not get I-94 for more than 6 months. You need to do following things to claim them as dependet(s) -
1. Extend their stay beyond I-94 i.e. 6 months.
2. Get ITIN number for them. (I am not sure how you get it on B1/B2)
This is the primary reason, immigration does not give more than 6 months I-94 on B1/B2 and avoid extending their stay....even if those are genuine reason(s).
My parents only stay here for about 170 days/year. Though, for every 30 days they stayed here last year, I can count 10 days towards their substantial presence in the US this year. That's how they can pass substantial presence without staying more than 180 days any single year. And B1/B2 visa holders can get ITINs. Undocumented immigrants who had no visas, in many states could use their ITINs to get Driver Licenses. IRS recently cracked down on this practice and asked all agencies to stop accepting ITINs as a form of identification and also made it harder to get an ITIN, but visa holders can get one. You may need to take the applicant (with their valid passport and visa) to an IRS office for verification. They can then accept the form in person, and return you a stamped copy of the application

Pelosi sets the time-table in the House and Reid in the Senate. Since the bill was introduced in the House, I made the statement.
Hope this clarifies things.

Yes, that makes it clear. My response was based on the title of this thread, "discussion on Senate floor in May 14-21" and the content in the quoted article. Its Pelosi vs Hoyer rather than Pelosi vs Reid
