I had FREE company attorney but decided to file 485 etc. myself & it was so much better. You can easily do 140-485 etc yourself. Call me & I will tell you.
If at all use an attorney for PERM. In my situation, even that was screwed up & I had to do that myself.
It is high time, all of us capable of handling complex viral equations, do this simple job , spread the knowledge , save $$$ & contribute some savings to IV
Best wishes
I am tired of my company lawyers. They did not file my 485 when my PD became current in June bulletin. I gave all the documents required. I missed an opportunity big time. Even now they are not responding when i ask them when will they file my application. After reading the msgs posted in this forum i am confident that i can do 485 myself. What is your # that i can call in case i have any qs?

U.S. Department of Labor - Find It By Topic - Equal Employment Opportunity - Immigration (http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/discrimination/immdisc.htm)
Equal Employment Opportunity applies only to applicants who are eligible to apply for that job. It does NOT apply to immigrant visa allocation (aka I-485 approval).
If you don't agree with this, I would suggest spending $200 with an attorney to get initial consultation and get the answer to enlighten yourself.

Sorry guys, I was in India for the last 2 months...family issues..etc...but congrats on a successful rally, I notice people are talking of another rally, here are my 2 cents :
1) Although the rally made news, the fact that ONLY 1000 people attended is not enuff for national coverage and common man- news.
2) A second rally should not just be one rally, it should be a rally across the country, every state, city, street. Fix up one date and one time where everybody in each state/city can meet, if you live in falls church and have a volunteer to organize the meeting, meet up there with some slogans, if u can do it downtown NY with even 100 people, thats great..but it all has to be co-ordinated, just think of the impact if at 2PM EST, 11AM PST and 12PM CST on one particular day... every legal immigrant worker is on a rally and this gets publicized..i know it sounds far fetched...but little wonder, the illegals all gathered up in large numbers and were able to get legal in 2003-2004....can we educated folk learn something there ?? i can volunteer for my area (west coast, southern california)..any takers ?

It is very easy to write but difficult to do. Except for IV folks there are hardly any fighters out there for our cause. We have all seen the result....CIR that favors ill-legals but decreases visa numbers for the EB cases.

Hello,
I am a Canadian and have a PD of 3-05 LC apporved 10-06, filed i140 in 5-07 and am putting together the documents to send in 485 application this month.
I am on the 7th year of H1-b but have extension valid until 2009
In a few months I won't have a job. I am trying to apply for 485 before it ends.
Is it possible to find a job that is different than my current job description?
When I look for a job, what to I tell potential employer? do they need to sponsor the H1-b or Green Card? do they need a lawyer to manage my stuff?
What do I do after job ends? Does my family and I have to immediately leave? I heard that I can get a few months by applying for a different status (to take care of affairs) but that only get me a few months.
We were so happy last week , as our PD came up and we can go through the final stage to get GC... is all lost right now?
Would really appreciate some guidance.
-Bob

There are many not so preferred areas in Canada, where there is always a demand. Most people prefer large cities such as Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, etc. These are mostly saturated, but with persistence you should find something even there. If you don't care where you live, you should definitely find a lot of openings in the area you mentioned.
Thank you, really appreciate your responce.

If my attorney is to be believed, USCIS will clarify on Wednesday regarding whether/how to file without receipt notice.
BTW turns out I'm with Nebraska SC too. I had just assumed I would be in TX given that I live in TX! :D
Lets wait till Wednesday then.
I still believe we should be able to get the receipt numbers by 1-Aug.

I am with you buddy, but u have to understand
1. AILF will not file such case as they dont have big numbers of people supporting it as plaintiff
2. Your reasons are justified but you forgot one thing: US govt agencies (whether it is USCIS, DOS or DOL) treat immigrants as with the principle "beggars are not choosers", so per them you as an individual and your feelings doesnt matter much
3. Try to think positively, even though everyone will file 485 now but come Oct and if your labor is approved by that time you will be much ahead of everyone and you will not loose your place in the line. I am sure u will get GC approval before most of the July filers
Stay positive, stay calm. May God bless you!!
Again, sorry to say, but you are looking for excuses. I am looking for reasons. I know there are enough people out there to support this case. It is a simple matter of people spreading the word and jumping into the bandwagon.
I don't care whether they consider us as beggers or kings or whatever. It doesn't matter to me. It is a justified case and we have to put up a fight.
So please don't give excuses. That is not what I am looking for here. We might have a 1000 excuses for not filing a case, but only one reason to file it. We want justice. This can't go unheard or unnoticed.

Wow - Mine also went on the same day. No sign of EAD yet. I wish they handle it next week so that I get 2 years :)
I sent my AP on same date too and I have soft LUD today. Not sure what it means

My experince in porting EB3 to EB2.
One of my friend labor was applied in Eb3 since he was not eligible for eb2 in 2002. His labor and I-140 was cleared in 2006 and waiting to apply I-485.
Meanwhile he got promotion in same company. So he applied for EB2 labor.
(If 50% of job duties change you can claim experience gained in that company.)
He applied another labor in Eb2.
Eb2 labor cleared from same company.
I-140 cleared (ported old priority date.)
Applied I-485 in early 2007.
He got GC by end of 2007.
My case was also similar.
My labor was applied in 2002 in Eb3 since i was not eligible for eb2 in 2002.
Labor and I-140 cleared in 2006.
Got promotion in same company. I asked my company to apply labor in EB2 and port PD. They agreed to pay potion of the cost.
My Eb2 labor approved in 2007 (perm)
I-140 approved but Texas service enter screwed my case they did not ported by old priority date. I-140 approved with PD date 2007.
My attorney requested USCIS to port PD but no luck till now.
I spent 7000$ for this.
Bottom line is Porting of PD from Eb3 to Eb2 worked for some people only.

10/20 is fine with me. Another IV member vs116 has agreed to attend it along with me.
I would prefer - Troy, Rochester, Royal Oak , Sterling Heights, Madison Heights, Utica etc. as long as it's agreeable to the majority. I think we should go by majority of participants.
the problem will be meeting venues and times if we join illinois. we do have ton of H1 people here who are on same boat. Lets try to rally them in.....
I am calling all my friends....
Please keep posting here. Lets target the date 10-20-07. We will meet on that day. We will go over the game plan and decide what comes next.
I live in Sterling heights. Please post where you are at, and once we know all, we will decide a centerpoint for everyone to meet.

If you are employed in IT field, as far as I know federal skilled workers and AINP H1b stream are almost blocked except for managers. Canada immigration program has a list of occupation category; if you work in one of the listed classification then you can apply for PR. About an year back federal skilled worker deleted all computer related classification but managers. In May 2009, AINP did the same and now only IT managers are eligible.
If you are employed in non-IT category, you may still be eligible.
But AINP looks "little" better when compared to other immigration programs.

If you have read this post you have also read that IV won't inform which firms that they are going with, and the change is because of contract expiring. Please stop letting your disillusionment affect ur judgment. All people can do is join state chapters and contribute more. If you feel this leadership is going nowhere why don't you give up some of your free time and do some active work and contribute more.
ok, i am beginning to lose confidence now... first no i-485 relief and now wait till CIR>.....last year, CIR turned out to be a big circus....i hope this time something productive happens....
why are we changing lobbying firm? what do you mean it is a strategic decision?
are we dissatisfied with our lobbying firm? pm me if you can post on public forum..
but we need answers....this leadership is going nowhere now......

When M.K.Gandhi held his first rally against the British rulers(nothing personal here Franklin and Mark ), it did not result in immediate freedom, but was it worthless ?
May be we need to be more sensational like Gandhi to cause the desired impact. Gandhi burned the SA ID cards during the first rally. May be we should have burned our H-1Bs...:-) But I guess this is the extreme we can go to considering the vested interests we have in staying in this country. I believe this will be a slow and long struggle!

I called USCIS and she said based on the information she got from his authorities, she said all the 485 application packets will be rejected with a note saying that , please apply after oct 1st if your PD is current.
I also asked her if you dont send us back by oct 1st what sould we do, she said if I dont receive by August mid, then take infopass and go to local uscis office and request for my application back.
I think all the customer service agents are aware of the issue and got informed what to answer for our questions.
I BEG to differ. I called USCIS today morning and the rep told me VERY CLEARLY that ANY application received on July 2 will be ACCEPTED as July 2 is the cutoff.
A few min later my spouse called and they told her, Everything would be rejected.

Guys,
Wanted to started this thread to get reviews on different law firms
I can understand the quality and committment of lawyers can make a huge difference especially in this unprecendented situation where all EB categories are made current now and now there is a rumour that it would be retrogressed back probably sometime next week with a new visa bulletin.
A lot of lawyers who are really committed and sincere to their client's clause: Getting them Green Card, are working overnight and over the weekend also so that their client can file I-485 ASAP and on the other hand few law firms are acting as slackers and not even responding to their client's emails.
Anyway, I am interested in knowing everyone's experience ( good or bad ) with law-firms and their recommendation.
My Own Case:-> I work for a multibillion dollar telecom company and joined this company almost 15 mos ago with a promise that they would start my GC immediately. Till Now, they have not yet file my labor. Their lawfirm is Larrabee http://www.larrabee.com/ in sanDiego. I don't have much experience with them as my application is still in my company's internal queue but based on the basis of my little experience, I would certainly not recommend them
Thanks

A Good immigration lawyer is the one that also supports this community & our struggle
If you have a good experience with your lawyer and are recommending the law firm, pls also try to talk to your lawyer about IV. Ask the law firm if they want to contribute/ or even publicize IV to their clients. If they agree to do it, please post here. If they refuse, pls post here.
So when you write about how good your lawyer is, pls also mention if the lawyer supports IV and the help that has been extended to IV. If they have posted IV information/banner ad on their website, post the website URL here.
This will help maintain a list of lawyers who are recommended by members and at the same time, help IV.

But skil bill is having permanent increase of GC and H1 and also exemptions will increase further immigration numbers. Though it is a permanent solution to resolve retrogession of pd it will face big oppostion from anti immigrants.
True.
(1) Will they at least agree to exclude spouses and children from the cap?
(2) Will they bother to get rid of the provisions allowing filing for EAD even if PD is not current?
If the above 2 measures survive we will get some relief.
Also the naming of the bill SKIL and the language is very difficult to oppose.The anti-immigrationists will find it difficult to oppose. Is this wishful thinking? don't know.
Also it is a politically correct thing for most of the legislators to support SKIL, except for the provisions to increase the H1-B numbers.
Any comments from IV core/senior members?
