Thanks for the response PASCAL. However I still do not understand why IV is not encouraging everyone to send faxes and register their support via the AILA site. As I have understood AILA has been a leader in this effort for immigration {see July 2007}. If you are trying to say that the interests of AILA and IV are not exactly the same - that is to be expected - no 2 organizations can ever be the same - BUT - surely we can come together to form and pursue some strategic interests. I see that with regard to these bills IV and AILA interests meet. Further if readers @ IV send messages via AILA Action Alert then IV resources can be saved to follow the path that you have described above.
Finally, the bill may be a placeholder or position statement, but in the end we need to demonstrate the numbers - highlighting this bill may eventually lead to some worthwhile convergence in the CIR - I think no opportunity need be lost in this process and the more we highlight our position and condition the more visibility we get.
Regards!

Sorry you do not understand- I really cannot do better right now. Sometimes you just have to accept things! It's not that we do not coordinate or associate with AILA. We do.
The issue here is very specific, both pappu and I have told you what we think and attempted to explain why we do not want to invest resources in a specific action you suggested. Given that I can't spend the hours needed to explain the last few years of work and experience on this issue, I doubt this discussion will go anywhere. Feel free to send the fax. Just accept that we are not going to promote this as a mass action right now for many reasons. Peace!

per this senators site it is 400K approx....

400k is the unused visas from both FB and EB. Don't know the breakup though.

For me I have to renew H-1 visa every year wich will be same as EAD/AP. Each time I would go for H-1 visa I will be stuck for security clearance making me stay outside US without work for unknown number of months which is the worst experience that can happen to anyone not the grey area of AOS.
But to get EAD/AP I do not need to step outside US neither do I need to wait for security clearance and I hope to travel home when I want.
So to me EAD/AP is better than H-1visa.
If I get EAD/AP can I go for H-1 stamping?

Sorry this thread took an ugly turn with techy's profanity and inflammatory comments.
I know that this guy techy has written some strong stuff all the while...But, if you're banning him for this post...don't think this is right.
His question seemed legitimate.
His arguments may not be well liked...but, he seems to hit the nail hard...that's about it. Remember, life isn't a bed of roses. So, lets learn to take what's hard too.
Good luck.

Guys we have called all theree sets of lawmakers. Some senior member was saying we need to lobby hard with Republican's. Please let us know how we can do that. It is better to do it in an organized manner, so if some one can filter the three list on republicans we need to call again or if they can post a list of new republicans that we need to call. Please guide us.

I am have been on /off with my pay roll’s. I am still with my Green card sponsored company.
It’s almost 9 months since i got my GC. At the time of citizenship
How does USCIS verify the length of stay with the petition employer? Are they going to see the pay stubs or Length of the stay or a letter from employer….
plz help me.....
Sorry I missed your question before. My take on your situation is that you are good, and do not worry too much about USCIS's way of doing things. Did your company serve you any temporary suspension/reinstatement notice(s) coinciding with these payroll gaps? If not, and I would guess not (because that would reflect poorly on the company's health), your story means that as per your original employment letter, you have been with your employer continuously for 9 months after GC, and presumably longer (you did not say about any plan of leaving them soon), even though you are not being paid regularly. If anything, such payroll discontinuity should help establish your intention of remaining with your employer despite the hardship, if this issue comes up during citizenship interview. On your part, you should keep a detailed log of the dates you missed payments, in addition to all relevant papers (this goes back to DO item #3 in my list).
On your question about how USCIS verifies the length of stay with GC-sponsoring employer, my guess would be that for simple cases, they probably go by the employment letter or W2 etc. (something that has a single start date, and may/not have an end date). But if there are complicating factors, like your payroll gaps, and if USCIS comes to know about them (e.g. you tell them), they may ask your company to furnish evidence of payment history, such as copies of all relevant pay stubs (a simple letter from your employer may not suffice).
Chin up, please. You have your GC, which already makes you privileged compared to so many deserving folks still waiting long and hard. So, go hit the pub, shoot some pool, smell a rose, call up your fiance(e), take family on a Bahama cruise, tweak your boss's nose, kick some butt, write a(nother) check to IV, or whatever it is that you use as a release mechanism from such unnecessary tension :)
Cheers,

This is how I used my EAD. I filed 485/EAD/AP in July 2007. I did not do anything till Feb-2008. I made a call to my employer in Feb-2008 (6 months after I-485) and asked him to give me a raise. He was aware of the fact that I can use AC-21 and leave anytime. We renegotiated everything, this time heavily in my favor (for a change). I got 20% salary hike effective from that very day. I kept same employer, same job, same client but used EAD and AC-21 to put pressure on my employer. Needless to say, in the past, I have been on the receiving side of the pressure from employers because of H1-B too.
My suggestion - You can not play safe your whole life.
After an extensive research on internet about all this I will expose my case to hear your opinion.
I'm on my EAD second renewal now, Have approved I-140 and my PD is Dec 16/2006. Si according to waht you say I can walk away changing emplyers and get another job or either a part time job???
My current attorney wont give me any advices because she says is against the law because she represents my employer and me so she recomends to look for another attorney.
Since I have an EAD my wife was able to work and things turned better but this year with the economic situation and a baby I'm about 5k short and I'm being very careful and looking for a wild card just in case.. Someone told me I can get another H1B and start over even If I have passed the 6 years of H1B.
Any thoughts?
Appreciate your help

Looks like I need to take up a priests job somewhere and file another GC in E4 category which is current. God willing, I might get GC soon.
BTW I was not expecting EB2 to move forward that much. Would be interesting to see if it moves further in next bulletin..

Called POJ today, explained that i have 2 I-140's, IO verified and said i am current and visa is available, took my I-140 number and sent an email to the floor. Dont know what floor means. She actually said "she is glad that i called". atleast now, she confirmed by Finger Prints which went to Vermont because receipt starts with EAC are back and uploaded into the system, namecheck is clear too...She took my A numbers from I-140 and I-485. Fingers crossed.

Bartely any movement for ROW either. How does the visa bulletin move to the state projected in the Jan bulletin.
Does anyone know whether State's fiscal year ends in June or September?
It ends in Sept. Oct is the start of new fiscal year for the Fed gov.

We are victims as well. From 2001 to 2005 were waiting for Labor, they processed applications from April 2001 for three years (!?) and started from April 2005 we are in FBI name check . Coworkers applying in 2007 getting GC. If there any action in NY, I will be happy to participate.

i just raised the question...i am not doubting the intention of IV!
true...its the attitude...why is eveyonne taking it personally! (singhsa3)
It not just matter of Idea but it is the matter of attitude. It is one thing to generate thought provoking ideas and other thing to say things like
"So to avoid sounding stupid and foolish and desperate when you call".
By the way "pointless" is one of the those people who have been leaving comments like "chuteya" when giving red dots.
How do I know that ? a regular member may not be able to view this information but certainly moderators can.
So the intentions and very credibility of this person ("pointless") is in question!
