Logiclife,
IV is a voluntary organisation. You can request people to volunteer, but cannot force them or scold them for not volunteering. This is not professional. They might have their reasons and the right to work their way. I agree with your frustration when people who signed to turn up do not show up. But I feel this is not the way to express it.
Ram
It is a voluntary organization, and like any other voluntary movement unless people contribute their time, money & effort IV will not be successful.

I dont agree with you..Larrabee is a top firm who handled our case very well..its ur company to blame if they have not filed perm for you.
Sorry, I don't agree with you and also my mistake that I am linking my perm labor filing with Larrabee. I agree my perm labor is delayed because of my company.
But I have seen Larrabee handling my h1B transfer case where they screw up by missing some document. Atleast by my experience I wound not suggest my company and Larrabee as well for any immigration stuff

Thomachan,
We need more people on this forum and in the world like you!!
Very humorous insight and practical perspective.
Thanks for the compliment bondgoli. Being a person who has slept in the airport (floor) on quite a few occasions I have realized that people still somehow think that they are paying "big money" and so need good treatment. That is no longer true. The competition among providers has lead to their own (and ofcourse ours) decline. My kid always makes sure the nintendo ds and a few novels are packed up anytime the sentence "we will have to fly" is pronounced. Now we also pack up a few extra bed sheets and I am an expert now to spot the warm areas to sleep. We also keep turn watchin over the stuff when the rest sleep (ofcourse on the floor). And yes, we dont hold any hatred against the airline employee because they are "nothing" and can "do nothing". So friends if you see an Indian family sleeping in any airport dont hesitate to come and say Hi.

Is this an estimate for EB or for all green card applications? Because I absolutely do not believe this is the number. There is just no about H1Bs issued to produce this number.
It was the figure that the Kauffman Report found about a month ago when studying the potential for Reverse Brain Drain amongst other things. It as accurate a number that you will find.
Remember, this is many years of cumulative build up of temporary work visas transferring to permanent residency path

The American Academy of Nursing is NOT in poor light. Did you read their prescription for the nurses staffing and issues related to it?
With comments like these, we are digging our own grave. The issue is retrogression and not hopital and health care economics. I pay USD 14000 for a family of four and by god's grace, never been to one.
I know may of these nurses who are being exploited by the bodyshops like HLG. They pay a meagre salary to nurses and exploit them on signed contract. Please, please.. use your brains minus emotion.
American Academy of Nursing (http://www.aannet.org/news/2006/06022006.asp)
Well they are also shouting about Nurse shortage just like Corporate America is shouting about shortage of H1Bs.
Actually there is also a severe shortage of Doctors in US. However
unlike "American Academy of Nursing" where medical industry
has strong influence. AMA is for doctors but they lobby for doctors and not
the medical industry and time and again they have acted to:
1) reduced the medical procedures that nurses can do for their own selfish interests
2) deliberatly crafted the residecy rules to make it very hard for foreign doctors to get licensed in US.
3) AMA has a kind of alliance with another very powerful lobby
(pharma Lobby)
AMA (doctors) in turn says that imported drugs from canada are unsafe.
In turn pharma lobby backs the AMA lobby interests.
So what can IV work realistically:
Work against any increase of H1B or try to reduce it.
Work against EB visa grap by Schedule A
They only IV will be heard. Unless you set their houses(vested interests)
on fire then only you will be heard.
Look at History. Till we started the non cooperation movement, British Govt did not care for India's
independence. In World War 1 they gave a false promise of independence if Indian National Congress (INC)
cooperated. Eventually with the non cooperation movement, the idea of keeping India as a colony became
fiancially unviable. Also britian was broke due to the 2 world wars.

felix31,
Do you have a valid AP ? If yes, you wouldn't have problem entering US on AP. Just show your valid AP at POE and they will let you in with a "congratulations". I know someone whose GC was approved when he was out of US. He was let in with his AP with no issues.
approval when not current:
Are you sure you never applied for I-140 on your previous labor ? Your company might have done it. There was a recent occurrence of GC approval where USCIS picked up on old dormant I-140 and approved an IV members GC when she least expected.

IV, I am afraid, will NEVER earn the right to say " dont expect people to be courteous and receptive ". no successful entity will ever EARN that, leave alone a grassroots support seeking movement.

Man..
All are politics. Some time back we heard that no other bills could be introduced until the CIR dies. This was told like it was fixed in stone. But now some congressmen introduces the SKIL bill. Ask these questions?
Does CIR needs to die to another similar bill get introduced?
What are the forces which drive to introduce a bill? Does a congressmen go to bed and get up in the morning with a bill?
Does congress / US Govt / people really care for immigrants? If not who cares?
Who can make any Bill get passed by the Govt? In how many days?
BUSINESS, BUSINESS, BUSINESS, TRADE, $$$$$,. Only big business people can influence anything in anywhere in the world. They will get what they want with any governments. Govt cannot run with the support of business people. First comes the business support then the mass votes.
This bill will be passed for sure before August. You and me are not behind this. Microsoft, CISCO and Oralce are the ones indirectly calling the shots. Anti immigrant groups can just talk and shout. Money($$$) will show it in action. Wait and Watch.
Wait until they start getting to the details before being optimistic.
By the way, how long does it take for a bill to get debated and voted on from the time it is introduced? Months? Years??

I agree with you. Why are we penalised for being on H4 Visa ?
Most people on H4 Visas are well educated and would easily be able to contribute to american economy. We are lawabiding and can give so much to american economy. All our talents are wasted and skills are rotting sitting around for the backlog centers to clear the LC's and for retrogression to end.Meanwhile we practically have no life and are completely dependant .
Immigration Voice should try to include the greviances of H4 spuses into consideration.

I read through your reply, however, I found it extremely hard for me to accept your points. You've been probably on EAD too long to remember what a dire condition you came from as an H1B worker. Let's look at it:
As an AOS, you can:
- Work for any employer
- Not work at all
- Travel out of the country without worrying visa delay
- When you got laid off, no need to worry about being out of status or restarting GC
As an H1B worker:
- If you are laid off, everything, years of wait, thousands of dollars, down the drain, and the whole family becomes out of status immediately. And in this dire economy, this is a sword hanging on the head of every H1B worker.
- Worry about re-entry visa each time you travel
With such a huge different, I can hardly convience myself that EAD is 'useless' or 'waste'. True, you'll need to work for same or similar job, but compared to the benefit, it is not nearly as big a problem faced by H1B workers day by day.
Dear Administrator2\IV core,
Just getting the provision to file AOS when priority date is not current without the other provisions that are related to pre filing AOS like "removal of semilar\same job restriction when using EAD\AC21" is not good. Dont get me wrong I understand how much the guys who missed out on the july fiasco want to prefile AOS and get EAD but without the provision to remove the restriction of same\semilar job requirement in AC 21 it (EAD) is useless. By now everyone knows that USCIS is heavily issuing RFE or denial notices for h1b transfer and extension. It is just a matter of time before USCIS starts issuing RFE or denial notice on EAD\485 as well. The prime candidate for USCIS to kick out people using EAD\485 is the same or semilar job restriction while using EAD\AC21. If everyone gets to pre file AOS without PD restrictions then USCIS will make using EAD as difficult as using H1b. Please fight for the removal of "same\semilar job requirement in AC 21" along with prefiling AOS so that everybody gets true relief and it really becomes a win win situation, otherwise it is a waste and will speed up uscis making life miserable for EAD workers.

The reason I applied my I-140 in May 07 and didn't got any receipt and I intend to file PPS for which I require copy of I-140 but when I talked to the customer service they suggested me this solution and after that I got my check photocopies from my employer
