Yes but that is when the provisions of the bill come in to effect.
There is another clause which says "Any pending visa applications filed before the INTRODUCTION of this bill will be counted under the old system". In other words all the I-140s filed after May 15th ( Or June 19th) will have to be re-filed under the merit system if they are not approved and GC received when the Bill is in effect. That Effective date is the one you are refering to. Introduction date is when the bill was added to the senate calander.
Yes. On page 291 bottom, that phrase is there (line number 40, section b). It talks about keeping those petitions intact. I believe the effective date is still October 1st 2007.
There is a reference about labor certification applicants keeping their priority dates. The expectation could be that BECs will clear all petitions by September 30th 2007 and there would be a rush filing for I-140s before October 1st 2007.

u cannot roll into a roth directly. u have to roll into a regular ira and then to a roth.
but the earlier statement made sense.. dont withdraw immidiately..wait till the next yr and then withdraw from ira..so ur taxes will be 10% penalty and ur tax rate at that time...which will depend on the value of ur 401k.
so if make 80k now and are in the 25% bracket and u have 80k in 401k then u ll have to pay taxes equivalent to the 25% bracket.
but if u make 80k and have 20k in 401k then u r bracket will be the lowest one.

I have been thinking about whether to attend the rally or not from past few weeks. Attending the rally would require me to take a day off. Finally today without thinking twice I just went to my manager asked if I can take day off on 9/18 instead compensate the work in the following saturday. It was approved and I am attending the rally on 9/18!
I am feeling so good now.
Also, I live in DC area and can help if somebody needs to be picked from airport to the rally and drop them back if needed.
Hope to see thousands on 9/18th...
ALL THE BEST TO OUR CAUSE!
Regards.
Anucks, what great news!!! You are really committed and your sacrifice in working on Saturday will really pay off! Congratulaions on your decision, you will NOT regret it!!!!

The real reason people are treated badly at Indian Consulate is because there are Indians working there!!! Every where you go, the first thing an India sees is the skin color. I went to Atlanta to a sweet shop run by some Indians, there my 4 year old saw the water dispenser and asked for water, they had some use and throw paper cups and a steel cup tied to the water cooler (just like in India). I took the paper cup, suddenly the guy came running down and started cursing that I am wasting the paper cup? I asked who the paper cups are for. The answer comes as �others�. This is not a one off incident, be it Air India, Temple, Restaurants, it�s the same thing. Indians have such an inferiority complex and they are just freaking jealous of every other country man.
On the other hand, Indians have 0 people skills and have no clue how to act on a public place or do they have any concern for others. I took my son for Kumon yesterday. As in any Kumon, majority is Indians, the hot topics yesterday was politics, dinner and how work sucks. They were discussing this so loud inside the establishment. Kids were trying to work and there they were arguing, laughing, it�s just pathetic.
So, what I am trying to say is, if you are trying to take this fight with Indian Consulate, is it really a one off thing�..

What is fair is that we treat everyone here (and everywhere else for that matter) with respect without regard to the country of birth or the EB category. Some are more educated than others, some are more skilled than others, and some are more lucky than others when it comes to green card but what is common to everyone of us is that we are in this mess together. To be honest I don't think we are here to figure out what's best for United States, we are here to get our green card, live the American dream, and make the best out of it.
Therefore, let's not make this GC journey anymore difficult than it already is by fighting amongst ourselves about who is more skilled and who is more deserving. Besides, constant bickering among the IV members will only further divide and alienate more members and won't help us in any way so I suggest that we avoid doing things that has the potential of dividing or alienating members.
Apart from the bad language used by some people .... I dont believe that there is any infighting .... disagreements with point of view is not infighting ... It just a primer for the points and discussions that will definitely come up when lawmakers will argue their points of view. And from that perspective it is enriching this portal forum and not denigrating it.
I welcome the discussion.

1. Bush is a lame duck president now.
2. He is not going to do anything for anyone in his last few months. Especially for us who are not in anybody's radar.
3. The white house is better staffed to handle mail and has a larger team to scrutinize mails. Truth is Bush meay never hear about 25K mails sent over a month.
25 K Mails sent in 2 days well may be.
This is a good effort but wrong target. May be ppl sense that and are holding off.
4. We cannot be just an internet forum anymore we need meet n greets..periodic meetings that bring ppl together face to face.
--
That is right and there are "million" other reasons I can give you that odds are stacked so high against us. This is time to act not analyze.
Will you kindly show some team work and participate in the effort instead of providing critical feedback midway in the campaign. We knew what we were getting into. If you disagree with IV's goal that is fine too but it is unfair to hundred of volunteers who are as smart and analytical, as yourself, if not more and still spend hundreds of volunteer hours on this campaign and come back to be greeted by such unhelpful and critical posts.
The reason we might fail will not be because of high odds against us, or wrong target, rather inaction and refusal to either be a leader or a follower on IV campaign issues

Guys who got NOID/Denied 485, quick question.
Looking back, do you think it was worth making the job move using AC21? Is it really worth the time, money, anxiety, sleepless nights that you go through during NOID-MTR?
For people getting layed off, they have no choice but to use AC21, but for rest of us, why not continue with the job you are currently in and let the GC take its turn rather than risking it?
PS: I am in US for past 5 yrs with May06 PD. I am just trying to get an opinion here, so don't flame on me. I was comtemplating on using AC21 but reading all the NOID stories, i am bit hesitent now.

Consider my case:
Myself: MS In Electrical Engineering - Been on a H1-B sponsored job with Fortune 100 companies for the last 6 years.
Spouse: MD Medicine - Initially on H4 for 2 years, now on a H1-B sponsored residency with a prominent healthcare institution.
I fully agree, H4s should prove their worth, and that is why I never ever let the feeling settle in my spouse's mind, that, that GC was going to just drop from the sky one day for her...
In short, both of us have proved their worth and are on H1s.
Here's where the unfairness of the H4 system kicks in for us. The time spent on the H4 is counted towards the initial 6 year period. By the time she would be done with her residency, she would have exhausted most of that 6 year time. LC cannot be filed for resident doctors, while they are residents.
Result: When she becomes a doctor, her time has run out - technically she needs to be out of USA for 1 year, before considering a re-entry (unfair by all means).
Only solution to this problem:
1. Either the laws change to decouple H4 time with H1 (which I think, is the biggest unfairness of the H4 visa, especially due to the retrogression wait times)
2. I get to file I-485, which I currently cannot because of retrogression. I have an approved LC & I-140 with a PD of early 06. If retrogression gets worse, who knows, even EB2 could retorgress to more than 3 years...

Anyone else having problem or I am the only one?
I worked with Fragomen for my GC and H-1B application. I didn't had any complaints/issues with them. They followed up with me (twice) for renewing EAD & AP, but I went ahead and did it on my own. One thing I've observed though with Fragomen is their administrative office makes a number of mistakes sometimes. Like for me, I got invoices in error a number of times which when I worked with my attorney were taken care of. Also, on their client portal I noticed my receipt numbers were erroneously entered, which when I reported to them were corrected. I guess that could happen in any law firm. Overall my experience was good!

I dont mean to discourage folks here...
But here is what I have seen more often with MBA. Techies like programmers, business analysts in IT sector have done their MBAs from good schools and ended up doing the same job EVEN WITH GREENCARDS.
I have seen GC holders doing MBA and then after finishing MBA ending up with same job description with a 5% increase in pay.
So please do your research in HOW MBA is going to help you in your situation. Your job and your INTENDED JOB POST MBA may not really need you to have an MBA. And I have seen this way too often. So think before you pluck down 30,000 dollars on a degree that might do little benefit financially after you complete it.

The information, and guideline we got from you is going to help us a lot pappu... also many thanks to other chapter leaders who took time out and helped us learn the process.
Lets get going friends here at Michigan.....
we must fight this monster..... we must fight for our rights, and what is fair....
we must fight for our families and friends.....
Concentrate on the topics you want to discuss on, and bring more friends to the 20th meeting.....
I missed it, not aware of it, not sure why. I am glad to see this chapter grow. There was a time where we were searching for folks with torchlights. Thanks to Chintu, walking_dude, cagedcactus, bestin and all others who are now making this happen.
I have a very close friend in Michigan, and asked him to join, but he talks about all hardships, about his HR manager, about his company, about his lawyer, about everything except IV stuff. I am sure there are many more people here doing the same thing. We have to motivate folks to come forward. We cannot afford to have people who are inactive.
Good luck to you all, try to merge folks from nearby states if they are still not organized until they get organized.

Companies were vague on numbers. So how could they satisfy Senators. I knew only a few companies gave detail about open positions including Microsoft, Intel and oracle. How you can impress Senate or house? But anti immigrants gave all the layoff numbers, h1b numbers used and details of abuses happened for past few years. It is not just money power will win. With facts and numbers if you have money power then you can win. That is reason for past 3 years H1b numbers or GC numbers were not increased inspite of heavy lobbying.
Wow!! Do all these Hi Tech companies(including the giant one I work for) not have any teeth in the system. Sanders gets an amendment, but nothing to change the stupid MBS provisions in favor of these companies. Pending further analysis or details not known yet, seems like we can safely join our friends at numbersusa and oppose this bill.
