Yes, Many just browse and forget it. If they have a question, they will register and post into the forum. To post a response/question you have to be registered. Those people are taken care of and are members. How ever, its those bunch of people who dont have a specific issue at this time and are just watching over. I feel that any given time 60-70 % of the guest are just watchers (I mean not anti-immi, reporters etc ). If we can entice half of them that gets us going a lot. Registered members will any way login as soon as they are on the website and will not be bothered by popups. The pop up should come only once per session.

Friends,
I just joined this portal and I am very impressed...., wish I had joined earlier....
If we can quickly put together some PPT presentations and our problems in immigration, we should rush it to President and PMO office in India and make a request to hand it over to Mr.Bush when he is visiting India....., It may be too late but we can give a shot.
What you think ?

That would be the way to go. I assume you will probably look at a career change or change the job responsibilities in the same field, which may be a factor for the prior GC going to the boondocks. If on the other hand, you intend to stay in the same field and similar job profile, then striking a deal with your employer (that you would come and join them after your MBA) would be a way to keep your current GC process going. A leave of absence in that case would be the way to go.
You will get jobs easily in Europe after an INSEAD MBA. Why bother about coming back to US, and getting in the GC queue again?

I have EAD for couple of years & when I moved to Ohio, I was issued 4 years DL. They did look at I-94 (I travelled on AP having one year validaty on I-94), also they DID NOT looked at my EAD expiry date..They asked very simple question - Do you have your SSN? Thats it..!
C'mon...Guys, come to Ohio..you will get DL for 4 years..
I am not sure if the laws have changed but I worked in Cincinatti, OH before sept 11 and they renewed my driver license until the H1b expiration date.
Later in FL until the I 94 date
Later in NH until the I 94 date.
:D

I understand that your intention is to get heard. I appreciate your effort at writing letter. However writing to the president will not help us much. Here is why:
In the USA, infact for that matter in most democracies, Laws are made by elected representatives unless it is an executive order to grant an immediate relief.
The composition and powers of the House and the Senate are established in Article One of the Constitution. The major power of the House is to pass federal legislation that affects the entire country, although its bills must also be passed by the Senate and further agreed to by the President before becoming law (unless both the House and Senate re-pass the legislation with a two-thirds majority in each chamber). The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at no more than 435.[1] (United States congressional apportionment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_apportionment))
So, In our case, the president at the most can sympathise with our cause and the hardships we face because of the limbo, But he cannot really help until there is a bill that passes both the house and the senate.
So, Can I suggest that it will be even more worthwhile if you contact your congressman/woman and go meet them. We need them to understand our plight and anguish.
We all need to go meet our lawmakers, educate them.
They already are educated. Do you think they do not know about us?
They fully know about us. But they will not help us because we are not voters and cannot contribute.
A better idea is to have our employers contact them. People working in large companies can do this. I am surprised why the big companies have not taken up this issue for us. Why cannot we have big companies issues statements in our favor?

The only issue I see with using H1/H4 visa for re-entry is that if your I-485 is approved while you are outside US and you use H1/H4 for re-entry, it invalidates your GC and you have to start all over again. You either need to have your GC or an approved AP in hand when you re-enter US in this scenario...

Can anyone pls respond to my situation. Thanks...
Today I received RFE for my H1 Extension.
I received only one RFE which is obtaining contract documents from the chain .
Here is my situation.
I work for Client A for whom Company B does the project work. I was contracted through Company C who is the prime vendor for Company B.
Here is the chain.. My Company --> Company C --> Company B --> Client A.
RFE states that my company need to provide contract documents within the entire chain which is highly unlikely they can obtain.
Company B and Company C can only provide letters to affirm that that I work for Client A. Will this be enough or does it need to be only a Contract document?
Below are my questions
==================
1.) My company says that they have PO from Company C which provides details about the entire chain. Will this be enough to answer the RFE?
2.) Does withdrawing H1 extension cause any problems ? I can invoke EAD
3.)Also Company B is willing to take me fulltime, so essentially if I abaondon H1 extension and join Company B , will this help or cause any more problems?
Thanks and appreciate your response.

Thank you very much for all the advices. I wonder if I do need to take vacation around the early of year 2008 and come back approximately October, 08 due to my H1B expiration in April, 08. I wonder if I still need to be employed full time with my current employer during the whole period that I�ll not be in US. Do I need to get pay during that period? Would part time be enough in order to keep the green card process going? Also, do I need to file any applications with USCIS prior to taking vacation in order to let USCIS know that I�ll be taking vacation and I can use that vacation time outside US to extend my H1B until around October, 08. If I have to file, when should be the best time to file it and what form should I use? I plan to leave around the early of February, 08. Accordingly, I can come back around October, 08 and file the I-797 form for H1B extension if my I-140 is approved by then. Please advise and thank you very much.

Why you think that is not possible?
What do you mean by "new system"?
If you want to wait until approval, file H-1B premium. If you have skills and its "bonafide job", not much risk for H-1B denial. Note, H-1B visa is not for speculative employment.

Not a legal advice.
I posted here some of the total wait time(LCA 7days and H1 15 days) not for aguing whether I have skills or lack of skill.It is true a better skilled person always there than some one.

My case is as detailed below, and my questions follow:
PD: July 2007, EB2 (India), Software field
Labor, I-140: Approved, I-485 etc. NOT filed.
H1 Petition and Visa valid until: Jan 2011 (after 7th year extension)
Currently outside US, NOT working for the H1 sponsoring employer.
My employer has NOT revoked my H1 or I-140.
I was working for the employer in US where the GC process started. Then moved to Canada in early 2008 when the PD was highly retrogressed/unavailable. Since then, worked in Canada in related field for a different (Canadian) employer. Things have been tough here: lower pay, very high taxes, friends all in US, and especially - the weather. We would like to return to US.
I will soon be able to apply for Canadian citizenship. I am in a dilemma now - whether to return to US on H1 NOW or to become a Canadian citizen and try my options LATER. I have the following questions:
(Same employer, as Indian citizen, knowing that I did not work for them for over 2 yrs, and was outside USA):
1) can I now(or anytime until Jan 2011 visa expiry) return to US to work for the same H1 sponsoring employer on the existing H1?
2) would I be allowed the H1 extension in Jan 2011 based on approved I-140? Or is that doomed to be rejected because I was not working for the employer in between for over 2 yrs.
3) Would the fact that I was out of US for 2 years help me get a "regular" extension?
4) could I continue the GC after a gap of 2 yrs while I was not working for the employer?
5) if yes, will my PD of July 2007 be maintained?
(Different employer, as Indian citizen, knowing that I am currently out of the US):
6) if I get an offer from a different employer in US, could the new employer do an H1 "transfer"? i.e. would I need to wait for the April 1/October for H1 application/visa and would it be counted against the yearly H1 quota - or - can the new employer do the H1 "transfer" immediately?
7) For the H1 "transfer", would I need to produce US paystubs for the last few months (which I cannot, since I am not in US)?
8) if the new employer applies for my GC, could I re-use my old PD of July 2007? If yes, would the profile need to be exactly the same as the previous Labor/I-140?
If I become a Canadian Citizen:
9) if I become a Canadian citizen, (my H1 would have expired by then) will I be able to return to work on H1 in US for the same or a different employer as a Canadian Citizen?
10) could I reuse my PD of July 2007 when working for the same or a different employer after changing my Citizenship? Would the job profile need to be the same?
Also:
11) is it possible to switch the GC processing to "future employment", although the Labor/I-140 were approved with the understanding that I was to continue working for the same employer?
12) is the H1 visa/Priority Date of approved labor/I-140 carried over when the individual changes citizenship - from Indian to Canadian?
13) when do the dependents' citizenship come into the picture in the GC process? If I continue to be an Indian citizen but my spouse becomes a Canadian citizen, will my approved Labor/I-140 be affected in any way?
Please help me in getting the facts so that I can make an informed decision in this dilemma. Any help appreciated.

I am sure lot of us who are stuck in this GC mess like you can relate to your frustration and must be looking for a backup plan. There are certainly other attractive options like you mentioned if one does decide to jump ship and frankly I have done the same. Should this GC issue not get resolved in a reasonable amount of time, I am fully prepared and ready to jump off of GC wagon. I suggest we all do that.
Guys,
The reality is that we are just being played upon by the companies and the US govt regarding green cards. Employers know that we are not going to budge from our jobs to maintain the coveted priority date and the government is in no big hurry to reform the system as they can collect taxes from us without being accountable to us.
I think Democrats are also going to drag the immigration issue as seen by the article below :
http://www.suntimes.com/news/otherviews/151357,CST-EDT-Perez28.article
I do not mean to doubt IV, but the writing is on the wall that our lobbying efforts are not going to go too far.
For all of you single people out there, the only fastest option is to marry a US girl/guy. For all those who are married, the choices are simple, forget the American dream and adopt a Canadian or Australian dream or endure the uncertainty of a green card application.
I have reached the conclusion that I cannot bear this uncertainty any more and therefore, I am pursuing other options. Ciao...Good luck to all those waiting for a GC!

Good to see nice welcome gesture from you.
You did not earn red mark...my comments were more on humane side to not worry too much about anything.
You are right, we need to be cautious, lest things go wrong and feel sorry later. You (IV) all are doing great work. I love this site.
I fully agree with you we all are frustrated with this mess, but my idea is...For many things as many can go wrong....there will be equal if not more things turning right.
Off topic...here is a question for you, how does one becomes a member from junior member and so forth.

Is there a conspiracy, first there was delays in the processing of the EADs, now there is delay in the production of the EAD cards...
Are there more RFEs happening too?
My EAD renewal took almost 90 days to get approved, and my employer was ready to let me go if I did not get the approval before my EAD expired. Just made it with 2 days to spare.
