Today it represents more than 41,000 + physicians of Indian Origin in the US and 10,000 medical students, residents and fellows in training. Its mission is to provide forum to facilitate and enable Indian American Physicians, to excel in patient care, teaching and research and to pursue their aspirations in professional and community affairs.

If you want to elicit a response on retrogression, then you have to call their office and ask to speak with the person that deals with immigration issues and policy.
Or you can seek an appointment with that person and see what they have to say about this. Writing a letter will get you a generic form-letter response from a junior staffer whose job is to pick one of the 25 form-letter responses based on issue (Iraq, healthcare, immigration, veteran's affairs, crime, gun-control, abortion, judicial appointments, taxes, etc. etc. etc.) and slap your name/address and stick a postage stamp and mail it.
So, if you want to talk about immigration with them, call their office. Talk on phone or seek and appointment and meet them to elicit their position and educate them on retrogression.

So why do you care? Do you intend to stay past your 'visa' expiration day in the first place? Good to know though.
The question though is do they use the actual visa expiration date or your status expiration date? Considering the fact that you can have a visa valid for 2 years but still be in status longer than that period.

If you know about the Pilot Plus Program which is in effect in TSC I believe, you'll know what I mean. It just states that USCIS will process concurrently filed cases together to minimize time to process and achieve efficiency (non-concurrent filings not affected). Hence, only those 485s that fall in the current category get their 140 and 485s processed. Now that EB3 is U - there's no way they'll touch those concurrent cases.
In addition, I've also heard people talk about Ohata Memo - which says the same thing as Pilot Plus Program.
My point is not TSC or NSC - my point is we all sufferers should now unite and create pressure. I cant do alone , you cant do alone.
How do you want to contact AILA - why they should suddenly listen to a bunch of 10 stray immigrants like you , me ??
One thing i dont follow in your post how EB3 becoming U affect Processing times of I-140 ? I-140 doesn't depend on "Country of Origin" or "Retrogression".
Let me know !

Most employers pretend as if they dont know anything about retro, whereas they have employees in their own company in that situation.
Lot of people do not know what they are gettng into, a lot of new H1b applicants go look for employers promising Green Card carrots and switch jobs only to find out at a very later stage that they are retrogressed. Same with sub labor, lot of people switch companies as they get sub labor, just to find out later they cannot apply 485 due to retrogression.
A lot of people still don't know what kind of mess they are in. I tried explaining this to a lot fo people who do not understand, and they never made an attempt to understand, thats the reason why IV still has only several thousands members where those affected by retro is in lacs.
My only advice to you is "think positive", "put a lot of effort in your skill and job", "stay put with latest news", "Help IV" and be careful with employers or lawyers or body shoppers

Wata,
If I were you, I would rather wait atleast till Nov 2006 before converting I-140case to premium processing because as you said NSC is currently processing I-485 cases for Dec 2005 and it would take 5/6 months more from now to come to June/July 2006 to process I-485 at current pace. But Again this is my personal thought....
Moreover, in order to take advantage of AC21 portability you I-140/I-485 case has to be 6 months old. So getting I-140 approved through premium processing does no good as you would have to wait till Dec 2006 anyway for your I-140/I-485 case to become 6 months old.
Thanks,

Say a person has finished his 6 years and got a 3-year extension based on an approved I140. Now, he is working in his 7th year and his 485 gets rejected. Would that mean he still has 2 more years of H-1B or does that mean he loses the remaining 2 years of H-1B time immediately since 485 got rejected?

This is a very good PDF on USCIS website..AILA has many rights to demand explaination from USCIS...they do ask questions about EAD extension etc...
We should figure out a way by which AILA demands answers from USCIS regarding using the 140K wasted visas because of slow processing...
IV Seniors/Organizers....any inputs on this?

It was my bad, yes you are right..(Master + 2 or Bachelor + 5), And as wandmaker suggested nowadays "coma or full stop" is also audited in strict manner.

When i called my legal department and ask them about green card status they simply said nothing to worry... everything will be moved to "y" company, as a transition exployees..
Be honest with you guys...from the last 4 days... i could not sleep... i really dont know what to do in this situation, this is the reason.. i am seeking your help. can some one guide me or answer below questions please.
1. 140 filed 05/01/2007 - 11/30/2007 more than 180 days with "X" company
2. 485 filed 08/22/2007 - 11/30/2007 more than 90 days with "x" company
3. EAD approved
4. Travel documents approved
5. I am on H1 6th year extension.
6. Transition employee.
my question is
1 Can my green card status remains the same and continue the process with the new "y" company ?
2.Do "y" company has to start processing labour/140 again ??
3.Is it doable that moving everything from "x" to "y" including GC processings ??
Thanks in advance...Kindly help me out in this situation like how to proceed from here
With sincere regards...

Can undrstand your anxiety and hope things will workout for you.
But your details are sketchy...what do you mean by all the projects from your current company are being moved to another company: is the new company Y is buying your current company X. Then you might be OK. I remember reading somewhere that - in case of a merger your application for I140/I485 will not be disturbed if the new company takes over all the assets/debts of the old company. Search in these forums on company merger (more on other popular forums) and you will get more info. Understand the agreement between the two companies (your current X and new Y) - if its a straight forward acquisition (taking over assets and also debts and all previous agreed upon contacts) then you will be fine - I know because I have been thru an acquision during a pending I140.

What a rationale you are using. So then "kids should not suffer" and then the answer is yes, go ahead and reward those who broke laws with an amnesty.Hey, I don't know if you have kids, just imagine you have 16 old kid, you are on H1 waiting for labor certification and visa number to be available. While waiting continues your kid turns 21. Are you ready to send him home?

Hi cooldudesfo,
I am just curious that how come you got your EAD and AP approved, since the current processing dates for California Service Center are as follows-:
I-765 Application for EAD (pending I-485) is 11 Weeks
and
I-131 Application for Travel Document is April 18, 2007
Have you received both the documents in hand? I am concerned because I have plans to travel back home in december and am not sure if i will have AP in hand by then.
Thanks.
I am in the exactly same situation.
I talked to my Attorney and they are going to send me Originla I-485 receipt notice. What they told me the RD on original notices is July 2, 2007.
If this is true, then I will just ignore the Aug 28, 2007 RD on my Transfer Notices.
Try to get your original I-485 from Attorney and check out what the RD is on them....
An please post here if you find anything else.
I have my EADs and APs approved already.

Its called a form-letter.
The staff writes those.
They use the same letter and change the name and address of the constituent and copy-paste the generic position on immigration.
That is the reason you are seeing a letter that casts a wide net on immigration issues, like border security, illegals, etc. etc. The staff would send out the same letter to all constituents who are writing for or against immigration or any issue related to immigration.
All lawmakers have staff who repond to communication from constituents and 99% of the time, you get a form-letter response...the one-size-fits-all letter. The audacity of form-letters. ;)

It is my understanding that many GC applicants do not need labor clearance. Nurses, EB1 folks etc. etc. So the total demand for GC = 30K labor cases + 100K non-labor cases. That would only leave 10K for retrogressed countries.
Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?

In the thread you should find the process of contacing your local USCIS office to have your I-94 updated.
