I find your comment hard to digest. I have a graduate degree and am experienced, I couldn'f find a job and I tried hard, not everyone succeeds, I am sure I am not the only skilled H-4 that couldn't get an H-1B even though tried hard. But that is not what I want to comment right now.
I understand your post during 2005, I do not get it now, when the L-1 spouses can work and if immigration laws are passed for the illegals to have work permits and let the spouses work, it will be completely biased for the H-4 visa holders. As per that there is no excuse for ignoring the H-4 laws you are right, there is no excuse for ignoring them but there is no excuse to let the L-1 spouses work and not the H-1b spouses. More so now with the illegal spouses, don't you think that we should be allowed to work?

Commercial airlines fly between 25,000 ft and 40,000 ft. Airlines generally take risks for profits. I know it. Some airlines like United are ultra sensitive to turbulence. Some fly right through turbulence. And sometimes I feel some pilots are plain incompetent, they have no control over aircraft during the storm.
I have personally taken 500+ flights, almost 2 every week. And I can say, I get really nervous when turbulence or strong clouds are present. You are one second away from the big jolt or swing. A lot of times, it has been a roller coaster like ride. Now I would enjoy that once in a while. Sometimes I have seen big aircrafts like Boeing 757-300 series, flex, you see forward portion of aircraft going up and tail portion going down. But its required so that aircraft does not split up mid air. It can be a nasty thing for someone seated in the rear. Always always wear seat belt during turbulence, if it gets severe, you will hit the head on the ceiling. The turbulence during take off and landing is usually more risky as aircraft is closer to ground and can not afford to lose altitude. If it is at a higher altitude, aircraft can lose some altitude, due to "air pockets" and still be ok.
I was in a travel job earlier and I have faced all sorts of similar issues. There was this AA pilot onroute from ATL to ORD who once announced that thunderstorms are on the route and he took a different route claiming he had enough fuel and if not he will land in St. Louis foor refuelling, but he never had to.
I guess such decisions depend a lot on Pilots and their confidence and experience.

Can we all just "grow up" and get along ? I think only then we have "one voice"
sorry buddy, that's too much to ask from this group of educated illiterates, who talk of king and know that someone with the name chanakya existed in the past, but don't understand the concept of "growing up".
Every morning I get up, go to work, and logon to these forums every now and then. And everyday I see someone venting out at the only set of folks who are actually trying to do something about our issues. We know for fact that there is no other group who is working to fix green card backlog. But almost everyone who visits these forums never miss a chance to throw things at folks trying to do something.
If it was me, I would said - screw you educated illiterates because you don't deserve anything.
But hey, who am I to say this to the elites with highly blotted ego.
For few days I saw a thread asking this group to do something about the aged out kids of legal immigrants. I saw that thread for over a week and was tempted to support that initiative. And then, 3-4 days back, I saw a request for media interview from anyone who is facing "aged out" issue. And you know how may people showed up for the media interview, ZERO. There was not a soul on this forum willing to speak up for their own issues, but some of the folks in that thread wouldn't stop blaming others for not doing enough. How do I know all this, because I read those posts.
So in the end, we want someone to spoon feed us, do baby siting over us, while we continue to vomit and throw-up on that group of people every few hours. Yes, your question is legitimate - Can we all just "grow up"???? NO

eb3napa,
thanks for the clarification. I have a BE and an MBA form India with over 6 yrs experience in the USA and elsewhere. Not sure if i qualify as advanced degree.
So peopel with advanced degree can move out of EB3 or any EB quota is it ? Their PD will be current ?
Not necessarily getGC. I am EB3 but i am a Masters from the US. Sometimes for fresh hires lawyers play it safe by applying in EB3. I had emailed someone at competeamerica.com and they had mentioned that an "advanced degree" is either a masters or a PhD. You mentioned that you had an engineering degree from India. Is that a B.E. or an M.Tech/M.E.? If you have a master's degree from India, you need to ask ur lawyer if that qualifies as an advanced degree.
But even otherwise, it still benefits you, coz say even 20-25% of Current EB3 have master's degrees, they will be out of the queue and you will be benefitted. I know it doesnt sound like a benefit, coz it is not a direct one, but if you look at it from a different angle, you will see it.

No its not, this is the 3rd time I've seen you use that and similar signs.
Now Tony, unless you are lacking in any confidence, you wouldn't be acting out like a big baby here. Now shut the trap up and learn to ignore the irrelevant bickerings.

mheggade, ur calc looks good but with the exception of Level II, I think most of the people who got Labor with MS+0 (or +1...) will have Level II. my attorney applied MS+0 even though I was having 6 yrs of exp when I applied.
So to say, Level II is to decide on salary level...not only skill level(i understand there is a co-relation b/w them). Most of the consultants will have low level so as to keep themselves safe and keep low level to be safe.
I guess this is what DOS is looking at.
April 2004- March 2005 All countries & all Cat: - 905
(This can be ignored)
2005 PERM EB2 India/China
(Level III & Level IV):- 729
Late 2005 to 01 June 2006
EB2 India/China ((Level III & Level IV)):- 7037
Total labors: - 8671
Assuming 80% of the total made it into 140/I485 stage
New Total of labors: - 7000
7000 labors * 2.5 visa per family
Total expected Visa demand: - 17500
Assuming 80% cases are ripe for approval.
Total visas required to clear the case up until 01 June 2006 is
14000

I would say your calculations are spot on mate. 10150 is all we will get in Eb3. But if spouses and children are not counted against the cap, then it is truly 10150 primary applicants per year.

EB3 porting is a loophole like labor substitution.
when I came here 6 yrs ago, I had the option of applying in EB3 with a top 4 consulting US firm and I did not want to go that route. I waited until 2010 to apply in EB2.
Looks like People should come to the US as freshers or with 1-2 yrs experience > Apply in EB3 > Gain 5-6 yrs in experience > Port and BOOM, you have your GC.
How can people claim PD porting at a later date when they were not eligible on that specific date in the first place at that time? I know it's legal just like Labor Substitution.

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

Just a hypothetical scenario.
Say an applicant is having PD of March 2005.
His/Her 485 gets approved with PD of Jan 2005. (may be a typo by CIS data entry person)
However at the time of approval, PD is current till June 2005. (he or she should have been approved anyway).
What would be the scenario? Thoughts? Any one????
In the scenario presented above, or where USCIS erroneously issued a GC when PD is not current, the obligation on the GC applicant's part is to report the error for appropriate resolution by USCIS. Even if the GC applicant (like my best friend who got his GC in 2008) is not aware of the detailed process, and is not tracking RD, PD, ND, the applicant still has an attorney who is representing the applicant. Also, filing the I-485, doesn't automatically guarantee the issuance of a GC (eg of withdrawing $100, expecting to get $100 but getting more than that amount - comparison is not apples to apples when talking about expecting GC after you file I-485).
In the end, when these situations occur it boils down to doing what is ethically and legally appropriate, within an appropriate response time frame.

An infopass IIO has no way to find out from the CLAIMS3 system whether the AC21 actually reached your file. I have a hunch that since they included your new G-28 your AC21 docs are also included in your file.
Do not worry... just maybe a few anxious days and you will be all set:)
I got some more information from InfoPass
They have received G-28 and i saw my present attorney address which is good. Because my present attorney will receive the denial notice.
2nd, The AC21 letter never reached them..... Somehow blackhole swallowed it....
Still waiting on Denial notice.

Why H1B, F1, etc.?
Whenever US allows a person/family to come in US on work/study, US should provide equal opportunity to that person/family in most aspects of life (except National Security, Voting Rights, etc. which is after becoming citizen).
If at all any binding required, it could be somthing like six months - not of years and years.
Some bold decisions required - just like closing Guantanamo prision

Filed I-485 on July 31,2007, till date not received my receipt and my checks not en cashed either, Today I have been told my last day in the company would be September 28,2007.I have given following options, please advice
Options
1. Two weeks pay that's it I need to leave the company which leads me to square one of GC processing(Having approved I140 with PD Dec 2004 in EB3)
2. I will be transferred to Indian operations of the same company ( I leaning towards this option) if I choose options they agreed to continue my GC, but since I filed for AOS is there any way convert my AOS application to consular processing?
Guys please advice

If you have already filed 140 and 485 together in July 2006, it is already more than six months. Since you wrote you have used AP, I'm assuming you have filed 485 as well.
If the above is true, you can join a new employer for a similar job or rather same job description and do AC21 to move your case to the new company. Since your 140 is still pending, it will be an issue but not something which will realistically impact you if you do your AC21 paperwork nicely. If your 140 was approvable when it was filed, you shouldnt have any issues.
You need to do two things -
a) Find an employer to switch to immediately.
b) Find a good lawyer who will help you out on AC21
