Uh-oh! Sorry to hear that. But please keep the hope - it may not be all over yet.
Aren't they required to issue an NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny)...check this out under
2. USCIS on Issuing RFEs, H1B Revocation, eFiling, and Other Matters -
http://murthy.com/bulletin.html
Only god knows what processes, rules and regulations they follow. I am glad that i am maintaining H1B status with my I-485 and never used EAD.
Its just so disturbing that you are at the mercy of USCIS who didn't know anything about how to look and process the application.

Me and my wife had each sent a letter on Feb 10 to the President and the IV PO Box. I did not see my id in the names of peeps who sent a letter.
Just posting here to make sure you guys got the copies I sent you.
Maybe my letter was not considered in the total sent so far and there could be others like me.
Just a thought...

So your question is regarding the how u become active volunteer or the way IV operates in dealing with the legislation events? I was answering the former.
About the funds .. you know the answer and logiclife videos tells exactly the same. But you said I know nothing about the funds. What exactly you are looking for. Money spend on each event? i think they started doing it. Recently pappu mentioned they need 41k for the rally.. I think we are improving on that front ..

USCIS promptly waited for everyone to submit AP & EAD application to move the dates forward!!!
But anyways, the movement is good, let's just see how many get their green cards and for the people who miss this boat as well we need to see how much they retrogress in October!

Anybody has experience with ILTC (New York) ?
iltc.com -Heard about this Desi law firm, they were handling my friend's GC filing , according to him they were not aware of latest filing updates & sent some I-485s to Vermont & California (based on I-140 approval) in May/June including his 485 & all those guys are screwed up now as dates are not current for them now.
It also appears they didn't send all the initial evidence documents that were mentioned in I-485 form.
-- Does not sound like a firm i would trust

The first attorney that we had at Fragomen was so responsice and helpful and the second one rarely responds. It depends on the Attorney you get. In this case the better option is to have good replationship with your employer and ask your employer to request Fragomen for differnt Attorney. Our employer pays them lots of money and they have leverage.

The attorney i had was Jeffries expensive but good.
I have a BS in biology and computers (was on F1 visa)
Then I did research on cancer cells at the university while trying to get into Graduate school. Got my MS in information Science and also an MBA.
For MBA I did my research on Economic growth and Military spending.
After MS i got job h1b for a research facility was doing mba at the same time. Switched employer to work for a multi national corporation. Quite my job for multi national because they would not apply green card started work for a consulting body shop they apply for my green card.
Now Soon I will give my resignation.
You really have a great lawyer to pursue EB1 while your EB2 application is in process (that too without even requesting) .... I almost cant believe that there are such lawyers in immigration field. Congratulations and have fun.
As an aside I will tell my story - have couple masters and a PhD with several publications. My EB2 thru employer is pending. I requested (actually begged) my employer and attorney to pursue EB1 as well - they said no - lawyer's response is EB1 is very difficult and you should be someone of nobel prize calibre etc.etc. I tried convincing by giving several examples of my friends/classmates in PhD who got approved with fewer publications/patents. The lawyer got irritated (maybe because I am providing info that he is not very well aware of) that I am actually giving suggestions and he and HR indicated that I should be happy that they are sponsoring me for EB2. I went ahead with another private attorney to submit another EB1 I140 separately which is still pending. EB1 needs lot of paperwork on our own and needs employer assistance in providing solid proof that work is of high importance - I didnt get that assistance so not very positive about EB1 approval. For now just waiting for my EB2 PD to become current.
I am telling this story because my experience with immigration attorneys is generally bad and its same with scores of friends so much so that I am convinced that immigration lawyers may be one of the least competent professionals in US. In US customer satisfaction is everything in almost all professions - customer is god because he/she is giving us business. But in immigration lawyer community - the end customer may not be the one who is giving them money and even worse the HR people in companies (even the best ones) are either ignorant of or scared of immigration laws and just defer everything to lawyers who kind of exploit this situation. So if you come across a good immigration lawyer please say thanks to him/her on all our behalf.

I had a 2004 PD Labor RIR and my 2006 I-140 used that labor date, because I merely mentioned to an IO at TSC that I had a previously filed labor. My lawyer was shocked when it happened...had never seen it.
So, I wonder if they used your 2004 RIR as your PD. Even then EB 2 is supposed to be unavailable. Oh well, it might help to speak to an IO to get your I-140 PD changed...maybe...
EB2 India is current for April 2004. So may be they did use 2004 RIR as PD. Check with your lawyer, and see if they are aware of this.

Is it really that bad in canada? I think if you are looking for jobs (no.s & salary) comparable to US that won't happen. But I think the general quailty of life in canada is pretty comparable to US.
Same school system/corporate env/law enforcement/etc ..
I don't think any place will compare to living in US as far as # of available jobs/salary is concerned. You may find more jobs in India but the general quality of life in India is still sub-par. If it were really at par with west, nobody would be trying to immigrate here.
I am sorry to tell you that by going to Canada, in the end you may be better off going back home. I lived there as a PR and I have many Canadian citizens that are tired of the lame system back in the Socialist Canada.
As a general note, I think if you have already been in US 8-9 years you have already made enough investment and sacrifice. Its worth waiting for some more time. But set your own timeframe, don't wait endlessly. Trust me this can go on, this might be a well thought poicy decision to slow down processing at BEC's and introduce retrogression. This will trigger a lot of ppl like us to leave and they can get the work done cheaper (off course, there is always more ppl ready to fill my shoes).

I am in a lot of stress. Please help out if possible.
Six years on my H1B expire in April 2008. I just got laid off from company A. My last day of work will be May 31st. I have LC and I-140 approved with company A.
If I join company B starting June, and transfer my H1B to B, can it extend my H1B beyond 6 years based on the approved I-140 I had with company A? If yes, will it be for one year or three years?
Gurus please help. I will be grateful.
Thanks
Hello Chitta:
Please check the following link from "Immigration.com".
http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=240313
As per it, you can get a 3 yr-extension as long as your existing company doesn't revoke your I-140 (and it wouldn't as you are not leaving on your own). So you should be fine. Good-luck for your next job.

I got a feeling that some members feel that IV run a secret community with-in IV (I am not sure how many watched the movie "The Stepford Wives" ).
I think that core members and volunters knows strategy and action plan well before others. I think there would be hierarchy within that also.
I dont see anything wrong in that.
Here I think what goes on internally.. If you are more active in the threads you would sure get a message from IV moderators about ur willingness to volunteer. IV core seriously does not have the ability to read the psyches of each individaul member and invite them int to the secret soceity(?). Only possible way to know for them is how much active you are for a while. i dont think there are any specific paramters for that , it is a matter IV core getting convinced that u r serious enough. Not a day or two.. How long .. and how serious you are with ur ideas...
About funds .. none of the organizations declare their monetory dealings openly. There is a youtube video by logiclife on this. see it if u have not laready seen it.
Keep up the good work.. Sure you would become the member of secret soceity soon :).
I read sometime back nixtor became IV core member recently..
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING

If you scan the PERM data from fldatacenter. There are approx 3200 EB2-I (wage level IV)certified labors for PD up until 06/01/2006. Not sure about BEC certified labors. Based on the perm data ,DOS just needs approx 10000 visa number to clear the EB2-I PERM cases. I think DOS is right on.
Note: some of you have considered Level III in their calculation which is not correct. Because I am EB2 and my Labor says level IV for wage level.
We should also add the recent upgrades from EB3 to EB2.
It is possible that CIS was not consuming visa numbers fast enough to keep DOS satsified that visa numbers would not go waste. To make sure, there is no wastage, DOS may have turned its attention to consular posts and pushed the date to June 2006 so they would generate demand for visa numbers.
There is a very important change starting this year. Spillover from EB1 and EB2-ROW goes to retrogressed EB2. Before this year, EB2 ROW spillover would go EB3 ROW. This is a big change that will result in a larger number of EB2 approvals compared to previous years.
