One of my friends wanted to travel abroad, and her lawyer asked her not to, it because she would lose her H1 status. I guess even the same thing is mentioed on Murthy's web site too, where it was mentioed that it better to get your H1 stamped, if you do not want to lose H1.
So, I am surprised to hear that we could travle on AP, and also come back and extend our H1.

I signed the G-28 for 485, EAD & AP. Attorney received the receipt notices for all and he just emailed the case no(s) and A #.
When I ask him to mail me the receipt notices, he says its not their general practice to send them to clients and they are really not useful when I start getting the FP notice etc...This is really weird!
Folks - Is it possible to get a copy of the receipt notices by calling USCIS?
Thanks in advance!

What a crack-head - I didn't know H1Bs were 5-year visas - I guess I've overstayed my welcome...
And to say that everyone stays here is ludicrous - Half the people that started with me on my project have gone back to India for better positions with better pay and the rest have gone on to green cards and some even citizenship. He thinks that everyone stays here after 5 years (???) and then works illegally - like that's possible - idiot!
He thinks a company hiring skilled workers like computer analysts is going to let you stay on past 6 years if you haven’t filed for your green card and jeopardize their reputation and legal standings? They would just hire new H1B workers and kick you to the curb – at which point you would have to work under the table flipping burgers – but I guess the ignorant freak thinks that’s better than going back home and getting a project managerial position, because all other Countries are third world and live in mud huts?

Nikon was on the ropes the second they decided that they didn't need
1) to update their DSLR's more then once every 3 years
2) not to make their own chips but to outsource them from sony
Its kinda sad that Nikon have to create FUD about their DSLR sales to create imaginary market share. I have it on good authority that their market share of the worldwide DSLR market is under 30%.
The failure of the D2H to be even remotely competitive with the 1D Mk 11 even though both cameras had similar development cycles is simply a embarrassment.

I recently came across an old friend of mine. I was shocked to hear his case. He is an original applicant EB3 India with PD of September 1998. Please note he is the original applicant and this is not labor substitution.
Here are the details
Sep 1998 : Applied with Texas Workforce Commision as regular Non RIR.
Oct 2001: TWC asked to do recruitment. No action was taken on submitting results.
October 2006 : Labor finally approved from Dallas BEC. Concurrently file I 140 and I 485.
Jan 2007 : I 140 approved.
Nov 2007: Took Infopass appointment. Was told case pending name check.
This case is absolutely amazing. My friend doesnt care anymore since he recently married US citizen (genuine case ABCD). He has worked at the same company since 1998 and stuck to stupid job (non IT). My PD is August 2001 and seeing his case I am getting mentally prepared for much much longer wait.
Thanks

eb3_nepa,
One thing we should forcefully implement is give everybody an oppurtunity to speak up, if a right candidate steps up.
thanks

Nobody from IV has prevented people from other countries from speaking up. On the contrary, multinationalism is only encouraged to give a global face to this issue. But, I don't see anyone from outside India/China bolstering IV's efforts. Why don't they step up and join the core team?

again from the same Murthy article:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued.
Got it. I hope this stupidity doesn't happen!! Can this country's immigration laws get more convoluted???

Hi Pankaj,
You sang the National Anthem very well. I have been here in US for about 5 years now and for the first time; I felt that I was part of America and this could be my country. I felt goose bumps when I heard you sing the Anthem.
Thank You. And yes, you did sing it from your heart and only then can it have such a magical effect on everyone who was listening.
Thanks,
Thescadaman

I somhow feel that Name Check problem has not been taken care of within its entirety. I agree with one thing that NC will be "improved" but has not been and will never be streamlined the way actually it should be.
Reference:
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/fil...Procedures.pdf
I may be wrong but my doubts are as under:
------------------------------------------
(1)180 days period is from the "Date of FBI Name Check initiation. It is not
from 485 receipt date. Nobody knows when USCIS will initiate FBI Name
Check. So I see a big playground for USCIS to play if it decides to play.
What if uSCIS sends FBI name check initiation after 2 years of 485 receipt?
Do we have a way to know or keep an eye on USCIS about this? At least I
do not know and if somebody has the information please share it.
(2) "If 485 Otherwise is processable" then USCIS can go ahead without
waiting for NC check... What if USCIS decides to keep 100000 cases on
rack eating dust just by not moving the processing date for particular
service center? This you can see right now.. USCIS is making Texas slow
day by day not moving processing date. I remember Texas was ahead
with comparison to Nebraska around May to August 2007. If this happens your case is no more "processable".. Yes you can say that you are not stuck in NC queue but you will be stuck. USCIS may come up with altogether different startegy... To align processing times with FBI processing and FBI NC initiation. That may screw the things further.
Expert or differed opinions please?

I think we need to be careful these kind of conversations aren't detrimental to the current campaign and to IV. I am new here, but I do also feel the drive that chanduv23 has and you know, sometimes you do feel like posting it everywhere and on your forehead. This backlog situation sometimes gets the better of us! I am all for organizing too, we need that. But I do sympathize with those who feel desperate to reach as many visitors as possible. There are still folk out there who would like to send their letter, let's encourage them and still be organized. I promise to keep my posts to threads already existing from now on. Thanks :)

So sorry to read that story. I wish that family had gotten the help they needed at the right time. I wish he had talked to someone.
You've ever heard of kamikaze missions help by Japanese pilots during world war 2?
They were suicide missions to bomb American targets (like Pearl Harbor) knowing very well they will not come back alive. They would crash their planes into enemy targets laden with a lot of explosives.
Go figure!
In civilian world, there can never be a valid reason to take someone's life. The only exception I can think of is self defence. Or while defending someone who is under attack.
Military or any armed force is different; War is different.
People involved there are trained to follow orders. Their commanding officers give them orders to kill someone, and they follow those orders without question.
War itself is a sorry state brought upon the human kind by humans ourselves. And unfortunately, the commanding officers in charge of an armed force see even the men/women who make up the force as only a means for their objectives; and they use them as they deem necessary.

I must agree - both are important..it is just each one of us have different cases and circumstances
that It might be important for OP but you should considerate about others you should not say that every body elses problem is nothing in-front of OP's problem ."Injustice" word sound like that.
as somebody said earlier abount OP tha it sounds selfish and mean.
When NSC people were getting Receipt and TSC were waiting , no body said ."Injustice" word .
So when it is not affecting you it 's fair.....But somebody else gets that you cry foul play ....Be considerate about others
Personally I wish all (NSC ,TSC , Carlifornia , Vermont ) filers should get there receipt , EAD and AP as well as Final GC as soon as possible
