I have applied for my H1b extension back in April......Have not heard anything yet........once I get my H1b approval, can I apply for H4 extension from inside the country?? (Is that even required if you are already in AOS pending status?)
No, it not required but maintaining H1/H4 status allows person to remain in USA and apply for appeal if, for some reason, I-485 is denied. Otherwise, person is out of status from the date I-485 was denied.
See above in Blue.
Please check and verify details with your attorney/lawyer. This is NOT a legal advice.

The earlier who mentioned about hard hitting a car on Tree/building to shake the robber and run away is absolutely misleading peoples. There is no reward for bravery or mental sharpness in US for folks who wins a fight with robber or outsmarts them.
How much the Robber can steal from you - Couple of hundred cash, 5 credit cards ( which you can immediately cancel if you are not injured) and some important contacts. Be Nice with him and give him what he wants, tell them that you understand their situation and be sympathetic and polite with them.
I once did that and the robber just took 20 bucks from my wallet, 3 Marlboro Lights cigarettes and returned me the rest of money,credit cards,my SSN card and important contact papers and my rest cigarette pack and told me "you look like a nice guy".
Don't panic seeing robber or don't make the robber panic by shouting or banging your car on the building :) Robbers are just human beings like us with pathetic economic conditions ....
Yes, the most important of all, you don't die for 20$.
The smart way is: be nice to him, he'll be nice to you.

They will retrogress all categories for India/China to 2001, so everyone will have to wait. Eventually people will fedup and leave the country (this solves half of their problem). For others they will keep issueing RFE for the next 5/10 years and enforcing stricter followup on AC-21 so people wont be able to leave their jobs and get promoted.
So who will want to continue working at programmer in their mid50s. Imp question is will there be a job for such candidate...and so they will move back.
Optimistic or Pessimistic ...any guess in this Guess the movement game is worthless.

I agree.
I lived in Canada for a year. I also worked in my own country before coming to the US. At least in my experience and from talking to dozens of friends in Canada, my home country offers more potential for revenue than Canada. You will see it when you move there.
I will never forget when I landed in Canada in Toronto back in 1998, I met a girl at the airport and many at the Hostelling International who told me lots of stories on why I should go to the US instead. That particular girl was living in the US illegally.
I am sorry to tell you that leaving the US and going to Canada may not be a solid plan B.
Why don't you start a similar forum for "going back to
India" ? I hate to burst your "bubble of hope" but Canadian population and job market is limited and the opportunities for professionals like us are limited. Why not consider going back to India and taking up some of the lucrative opportunities in middle management in the IT industry.
The Indian economy is booming and the salaries are excellent. You just need to make some adjustments with quality of life (pollution, traffic). Atleast its better than going to Canada, living in limbo while looking for suitable jobs for a long-time, sometimes even doing odd jobs just to make ends meet. I hate our Indian mentality that "every place in the world is better than our own country". Give me a break guys.
My plan of action is very clear: Go back to India and live there happily. If there are other opportunities in US then come back.
Cheers.

Incorrect. Please go back and see old threads for action items. Just because you do not see any action item right now, you cannot flush down all our hard work in the last 2 years. You are enjoying your 2 year EAD because of the hard work of our Admin fix campaign in 2008. Please stop blaming the organization. If you wish to lead it, come forward and take charge of your state chapter as a start, lead and deliver results. IV is everyone and each member's responsibility.
kudos to what u accomplished in July 2007, but the reality is we haven't seen any major action after that. I guess its mostly frustration from ppl here, who think that the US housing/EB crisis can be pursued aggressively than expecting for CIR to happen.

You are correct. The rules must have changed recently. I wonder what made them make that change, Now children of US citizens (who were once Indian citizens) have an advantage over children who has both parents as Indian citizens. Weird.. isn't it?
Damn..even our own Indian govt discriminates :( . Kids of parents with Indian passport are suspicious..

USINPAC has been NOT helpful so far. It doesn't mean we should protest to them angrily and antagonize them. We can continue to seek their assistance (if they would offer any)
they can only offer assistance in helping you learn how to do fraud if you are interested.

This is story of a 84 year old Nazi from world war II whose citizenship was revoked. So even citizenship can be revoked.
.
Thats what I am sayin. Even naturalized citizenship can be revoked by revoking the underlying GC. Only citizenship by birth is the safest.
John walker Lynd was able to keep his citizenship in spite of being with Taliban. Had he been a naturalized citizen, I am sure US Govt would have revoked his citizenship by voiding his old GC.

I and many folks in this forum have seen very few approvals for this category. How come USCIS says that this category is over subscribing the visa quota. Why they are moving un used visas to EB2 (no offense) why not for EB3?
We need IV help in this area.
If you have not contributed for the recpature funding drive, Please do so..let's move forward together and support IV to lobby the introduced bills first...there is no point in fighting among ourselves !!

I am in EB3, just applied for Labor. And would like to see EB3 moving fast. But I am too not comfortable with the statements written in starting of thread. I think, responsible dept. has limited no. of visas to issue every year & when lot of people are applying in EB3, it would definitely take time to process applications.
And I read something about, EB1 spill over, and natural beneficial (first preference) is EB2 for that. So I do not understand where the point of discrimination is.
Some people say intention behind post is to divide EB2 / EB3 people; I am not sure what the intension behind the post is. But definitely person has ONLY made the statements & NOT given logic for that statement. Since most of us see everything (due to nature of job) logically & try to find out reason, this post won't be able to convince even a single member forget the lawyer & law makers.
At the moment I am thinking that I would be able to file I 485 in 2015-2017 (labor filing 03/2009)... but I wish some magic for EB3 also..... HOPE for the best.....

How about the Insurance Policy offered by MetLife? They invest your money in Mutual Funds and provide you the insurance coverage as well. I bought 2 policies for 15 years, one for my self and another for my wife. Our monthly premium is $485(285 for me and 200 for my wife). The risk cover is half million dollars and its an investment plan on which the average return is between 14-18% pa. I don't know yet how good is going to come out.

I have many times pondered on the strength/power of dollar value and I feel apart from factors like globalization/petro dollars most important factor is America's politics.
No matter who is in the White House, no matter what their domestic politics are, no matter what their agreement(s)/disagreement(s) are they follow a well established strategic template on the International arena always keeping their focus on fortifying their super power status/dollar strength.
Very fact that dollar value is not as low as it should be amidst the current crisis shows the value that dollar is enjoying(when compared to the value of the currencies of other economies that didn't actually collapse as did American economy) may not be the real value but a strategised value.
Watch this video on globalization (if you have not already watched as it was shared on this forum twice) though it's a bit long and seems like exaggeration at few spots(speaker himself says he may be exaggerating or something like that..) it helps one understand few things.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4343898391323537541&ei=u6taSeqqN4H6qgK7k9WsBA&q=globalization+dollar+&hl=en
Also few facts from this video and some of those youtube videos on terrorism kind of throw another perspective to Iraq war and on the possible Iran strategy.
But as per the disintegration of America I agree with you...it just shows how some of those guys are still kind of smarting from the disintegration of the U.S.S.R and pepping themselves with such stories.
This is a bunch of baloney.
The US has the most trusted currency int he world(sometimes I wonder why, but the fact is it remains such or else its value should rationally be a lot lower right now).

Pal, don't try to be selfish and narrow minded here. Step into PBEC victim shoes and then we shall see what language you speak.
Opportunity to speak in front of congress won't come everyday. So we should highlight all the problems faced by us during the employment based immigration process -- whether it is rotting in the PBEC mess for labor certification for 3-5 years or for visa numbers. They all should be brought forward.
The deadlines don't mean any thing but the results in hand do. If it were resources issue, then DBEC would also have been also stuck somewhere with 2001-02 cases but no.. they are processing 2004-05 cases. There is something seriously wrong with PBEC and needs to be fixed.
There has been established a way to deal with backlogs at Dallas and Philly, and these officials at PBEC and DBEC have been given a deadline of Sept 2007 to clear everything. So someting is and will be done in this regard. Not much more can be done here with PBEC or DBEC, and the real test is to get solutions for the retrogression.
Once the laws are passed on the immigration reforms, its a done deal my friend, and then it does not matter how much we try after this to address retrogression. This is our only chance.
BUT realize that there have been delays in PBEC and DBEC only because of lack of resources, which can be added or taken off...and this will speed up or slow down DBEC or PBEC. This can be controlled outside legislation.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH RETROGRESSION. NO VISA NUMBERS = NO PROGRESS TOWARDS FINAL GREEN CARD. DONE DEAL.
SO PLEASE FIGHT FOR RETROGRESSION AND DO NOT LOSE FOCUS BY FOCUSSING ON PBEC AND DBEC. PBEC AND DBEC IS JUST A RESOURCE ISSUE AND NOT A NUMBERS AVAILABILITY ISSUE. LETS NOT LOSE THE WAR TRYING TO WIN A SMALL BATTLE.

Filed AC21 by company attorney
contacted congresman's office when PD become current for more than a year but no approval. Got responce that it is pending in extended review.
Left Company B to move South side because of health issue ( winter) .
Company B understood the situation and left in good terms with them.

joined Date: 12/14/2009
Used EAD .
I140 LUD: 1/29/2010
I485 deniel email : 25/2010
I did not change attorney in file from company B for I485 .
Called companyB attorney on 2/5/10 and they did not even know that I left companyB .
They said they have not received any communication about I485 and they can deal with me for my 485 directly . they said they will call me once they receive the original letter (not suer wheter attorney get it or myself get it ).
So this is where I am standing .
So if my original sponser ( company A ) revoked 140 , should it not say the status denied/cancelled etc at that time ( 2-3 years ago) ?
If I had known that I would have shifted from companyB or would have looked for a H1 transfer. ( Just my lack of knowledge) .
Hopefully it is a string Ac21 mis-understanding issue. otherwise I may have to look for a H1 tranfer ( pain again)
Thanks folks for all the support
