Andy,
Thanks for the pointer on the 539 processing.
Does the H4 approval need to be in hand if my wife were to change her status to H1? (or) Is there an option in I 129 where she can refer to the pending I 539.
She cannot change to H1 until Oct 1 which is when the new quota of H1's will be available unless she is going to work for an exempt organization/company. In the latter case then she can apply directly now for H1 as long as she is still maintaining H4 status.
This is what I get from the new memo:
Immigration Policy and Procedural Memoranda (http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/PeriodsofAdm120506.pdf)
I hope this will help you.

I don't see a reason why you want to campaign, is it just because this months visa bulletin didn't make you happy?
Sending flowers and telling USCIS how to fix their issues will not help. We must stop and think first before we ask them to do this and than.
Good to see the count already three (here) in just 30 min of posting this idea (IV's one of the peaceful ways). So I am sure there will be huge response. Please spread this message as much as you can, and see if we can gather a good #.
ALSO we will have to wait for IV Admin to approve this, as I am just a junior member and dont have that capacity. WE MUSt start one more campaign.
Please spread this among your friends and make a difference. On this INdependence eve, lets work in the same lines as those great people did. We may like one leader or we may not like due to their approaches. But one most common thing you will see in all is UNity in what they did and strength came from there. What we are asking isnt that big a deal to fix. Simple admin fix

GCPlease - I am also in the same boat! RFE not yet received but looks like it could be for the photos. Its been over 8 days now. I did not get a notice for biometrics. It could be because we did our 485 biometrics just 8 months ago. Perhaps they will just use that.
Should I just send the photos in and see what happens without waiting for the actual RFE? Where did you send the photos? Same address as the docs that you sent?
Thanks,

Sorry everyone I have been off-line for 3 days now. Someone's dog chewed through the cable line and I couldn't get on. I'm at school right now. Should be fixed tonight.
Thx Pom. I wish I kept most of the layers. Cause if you look at it now there aren't many. I merged most of them to keep the file size down. If I hadn't you might have been able to see more.*sob* oh well....thx for the nice comment...

Hi poorslumdogs,
If you refer to some thread, please do not ask others to search for it. Instead paste its link in your post so others can read it.
I heard from my friends there are no legal implications if you get laid off on EAD and you also have a valid parolee document.
This should get verified from an attorney though, specially if others create a doubt.
[QUOTE=.....That thread was created in the last 2-3 months time. So search for it.
There is definitely some legal implication otherwise why your employer wants to inform USCIS. They wanted to be in the safer side. So if anything happens you are the one going to face the music. So check with some good attorney.[/QUOTE]

How about sending this letter to senators? May be IV should include it in action items :)
May 22, 2007
[Sentor's name address]
Dear Senator,
I am an H1B visa holder. I entered Unites States legally, studied Masters and maintained legal status for 9 years. I have worked in IT industry, contributed to US economy, paid all federal & state taxes including FICA.
I have been desperately waiting for my green card process, which is stuck in its 1st step - called Labor Certification - for more than 4 years. Even after that, I am uncertain about 2nd and 3rd steps of process. During these years, my wife and I have sacrificed many things to maintain our status and to hold onto this green card process.
It looks like my bad dream is over. Thank you for introducing a draft "Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007" in senate.
Now, I can discard all my legal documents, join 11 million undocumented workers, and get Z visa. Then,
1) I wont have to renew my H1B visa each year.
2) I will definitely get green card in 5 years. I don’t have to go through uncertainty of I-140, I-485, I-765, I-131 applications.
3) I can work with any US employer. And, I can obtain competitive salary.
4) I can travel to other countries without hassles of visiting US consulates and visa stamps.
To show my gratitude, I am sending copy of all my legal papers.
As soon as this bill becomes law, I will send you original of all these documents as I wont need them anymore.
Thanks you such a wonderful work.
Sincerely,
An IV Member
Included:
1) Copy of my passport, with I-94
2) Copy of all H1B visa documents
3) Copy of Labor Certification application
4) Copy of tax returns, for all years

Is there any advantage choosing a local lawyer? Can some body please suggest attorney in Chicago area.
Some ppl prefer to have local attorney in case they want the attorney to accompany them if & when CIS calls for personal interview.

Yes its good USCIS have revenue to hire more people to process our applications. Well said.
It makes no difference whether they allow concurrent filing of 140/485 or not IF YOUR EMPLOYER IS WILLING to pay extra premium processing for 140. IF not , it makes minimal difference (2-3 months delay). Earlier this year, people were getting 140 approved on 6-8 weeks average without premium fee.
If your date is not current:
This rule makes 0 difference. File 140 and wait for approval while your date moves forward. Once its current, file 485.
If your date is current: File 140, regular processing 2-3 months and then file 485. If you can get premium processing done then it would be 15 days and then file 485. Either ways, you are delay in filing 485 by 2-3 months. In the grand scheme of things, its negligible. It would take even 2 months for your lawyer to get the paperwork straight for filing 485.
So please relax, this new rule that does not allow concurrent filing of 485 and 140 is not earth-shattering. Its a revenue generation move. And its good as long as revenue stays in USCIS as they do need revenue to hire more people to process files faster, which is in our own benefit. The only problem we have is the rise in fees generates revenue which often times does not stay with USCIS and goes away to other agencies of DHS(I think, this was mentioned in CIS Ombudsman report, if I am not wrong).

Lots of people are in this situation. Without a GC your professional life is screwed and with a GC your family life. Good Luck.
I totlaly agree with this. I am single too with PD DEC 2006. I have been in present job for almost 4 years. I ended up working for a non-profit oragnization on a non-cap H1b, which prevents me from transfering to private companies which need caped h1b( i din't knew about this when I took up the non-profit organization job). The only way for me to get into private company is to get a new H1b under cap which starts from Oct 2008. This time I planned properly and got an H1b approved. But to my shock and surprise EB2 dates moved to June 2006. I am now carefully watching the September EB2 dates. If it gets closer to Dec..I need to pull back the 485 as I don't think I can get marreid within 6 months due to family responsibality back home. If I withdraw my 485 application, I will lose the queue, money and since I plan to change job, the only benift I will be taking with me , is the PD date which I can later transfer if my next empyer does my GC. With a 2.5 year h1b left, I am hoping under worst situation, my next emplyer will sponcer my GC. This whole GC process is a pain in ***...!!!!

I wrote about our retrogression problem to our senator Barack Obama three months ago and I got reply from him today.I couldn't find the answer to my question.Can you help? Here is his response:
Thank you for writing me regarding immigration policy. I have heard from constituents on both sides of this issue, all making passionate arguments. This is unquestionably a complicated policy challenge with far reaching ramifications across society.
After much study and discussion, I have concluded that the best course is to pass comprehensive reform that reaffirms the rule of law and brings the undocumented population out of hiding through an earned path to citizenship. In my view, the approach presented by the immigration bill passed last year by the Senate lays the foundation for such a permanent solution.
To address the immigration problems in our country, that bill put forth a three-pronged response: 1) it strengthens border security; 2) it establishes a path to citizenship that included fines, a requirement to learn English, and adherence to the rule of law for immigrants and their families who may have entered the United States illegally but are now contributing and responsible members of society; and 3) it creates a "guest worker" program whereby American businesses can temporarily recruit foreign workers for jobs that American workers cannot or refuse to fill. This proposal passed the Senate by a 62 to 36 bipartisan vote, but a joint House/Senate conference committee appointed to reconcile the differences between this bill and a separate version passed by the House of Representatives (H.R. 4437) was unable to complete its negotiations before Congress adjourned.
Like our nation's religious and civil rights communities, I opposed enforcement-only approaches like H.R. 4437. That House bill is also opposed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and over 200 other faith-based, business, labor, religious, local governments, civil rights, and ethnic groups. The common denominator of this opposition is that the bill would have had a profoundly negative impact on workers, on businesses, on families, and on local communities without making the country safer or fixing any part of the broken immigration system.
The President and Congress should look at immigration reform in a comprehensive manner to guarantee both that enforcement and border security are enhanced and that all workers, including immigrant and “guest” workers, are treated fairly and are afforded basic labor protections. This approach will curtail the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, reward work and unite families. I look forward to continuing to work with President Bush, my colleagues in Congress, and the people of Illinois on this important challenge.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please stay in touch on this or any other issue of concern.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
United States Senator
