If you are talking about the discussion. then am referring to the items and not the discussions.Have I missed these items some where that are like the above. Then we are good to go. Can you let me know if the action items already there tries to encompass all thes issues and possible solutions. Ofcourse I know every one is talking and discussing but didn't see a concrete list except a description on the front page saying we are fighting for the cause of GC aspirants and some smaller descriptions.

3000 seems to be an average number.
I have been on H1B for 3000 days so far and I am still waiting for GC, (filed for 140/485 in November) and I thought I have been waiting for too long, but it looks like one of these people might actually qualify for Guinness Book.

Hello :
My EAD is valid till August 10, 2010. This is my second EAD. 1st filed with I-485 in 2007 and second renewed in 2008.
First Renewal Attempt :
I therefore sent my papers to my employer in early April 2010 (120 days in advance). My employer to 10 days to file with USCIS (Snail Mail - Phoenix Lockbox). Then USCIS took another 30 days to look at my papers. They rejected it. Reason :
The check amount is incorrect, or has not been provided. Please review the Form Instructions for fee information. Please resubmit the application/petition package with the appropriate fees to the USCIS address listed on the bottom of this notice.
The eligibility code you provide on your I-765 requires proof that an I-485 has been submitted. Please resubmit your Form I-765 with a copy of your Form I-485 receipt notice (I-797).
Turns out my employer did provide checks were provided in the correct amount but the name on the check was incorrect "USCIS Vermont Office"...Go figure.
Further, I had never received my I-485 receipt notice in mail (filed when the flood gates opened in July/August 2007). I had however received my ASC FP notice and had used it in my previous EAD renewal in 2008. I had sent in a copy of this with my paperwork. That did not seem to have worked. So I called USCIS NSC and they informed me that I need to attach a cover letter with my application explaining that I did not receive the I-797 for the I-485.
Second Renewal Attempt :
So this time, I filed my application to the Phoenix Lockbox myself via snail mail (never efiled so thought why take a chance). I sent my own checks payable to "US Department Of Homeland Security" as mentioned in the I-765 instructions. I also included a cover letter about my missing I-485 receipt notice and sent in the I-485 ASC FP notice copy along with a printout of the pending I-485 from USCIS website.
This new app reached USCIS on June 1, 2010.
It got rejected again and reached me yesterday on June 19, 2010. Reasons...Exactly the same as before.
Needless to say, I was confused, frustrated, angry, sad...and everything in between.
Starting Third Attempt :
Given that only 50 days are left for my current EAD to expire. I e-Filed again yesterday (June 20 2010) hoping that by doing so, I will bypass the Phoenix Lockbox and will avoid the reason for rejection regarding the check.
I will be mailing my supporting documents tomorrow. They will reach USCIS on June 22 2010. The only thing/s addtional that I am sending in now are...
a) The top tear-off from the original EAD mailer (had forgotten to send it in last two times as I thought it was not necessary)
b) A request for correction on the eFiled EAD as I mentioned "Country Of Citizenship" as "USA" instead of "India" (Thanks to my frustrated mood and the poor usability of the I-765 online form).
Request advice...
I know that I will have to stop working on August 11 2010 and I can't earn for as long as I don't have a valid EAD in my hand. I also know that it does not affect my Green Card I-485 app as long as I don't work without and EAD.
So what should I do from here on? Should I wait...I still have 50 days to hope to get my renewed EAD in. Should I call USCIS and request expedited processing of my case...but I haven't even received my receipt notices yet. Should I book and INFOPASS appt...but INFOPASS appointments for I-765 are only issued if it has been more than 90 days since the application was filed?
I will really appreciate any comments/suggestion regarding my case.

JunRN,
Thanks for your reply. I agree with not moving earlier to 180 days.
What I intended to ask the previous question is:
which job type I could be able to take?
There are serveral job types:
1. Contract to Hire.
2. contract to w2
3. Fulltime
4. Contract - independant.
Thanks and regards,
Mani

Now the main culprit is the financial sector, esp. any company that had investments in sub prime mortgage or exotic derivatives associated with it.
Cash/capital/loans are getting harder to obtain. So even companies unrelated to the financial sector might not hire more (maybe not layoffs).
But the US govt. can print as much dollars as they want. Am sure the bailout package will help some out of job executives so they can continue redecorating their million dollar yacht.

Can someone explain to me why do we have three threads on Lou Doubs and only one discussing San Jose Rally?
If you guys are so passionate about Lou Doub's reporting, I suggest you go to anti-Lou forums. I don't have any love lost for Lou but kindly don't dilute group's attention on Lou. This is not a good idea at this time

But were you carrying your H1B or EAD/ AP with you all the time....?
Per law, all H1B papers (atleast LCA) should be kept where non-immigrants work. There is no clear law for non-immigrants to hold passport/visa/EAD always with them. They recommend always to keep with you. Further, consulates( when they issue visa), won't give any specific instruction to non-immigrants to carry passport/visa always with them. However, for immigrants (LPR) it is very clear that one MUST hold orginal GC always with them. It is rule/law. The welcome notice clearly shows. Although, many dont practice, it is still a rule. I heared a story when a guy pulled off he got big trouble, when he claimed he is a LPR; and does not carry the GC.

What were the auditors doing?
Is this just the tip of the iceberg. We know thats true in the US as well. Publicized scams/scandals are usually only an example of what goes on in general (GAFFS !!) Generally Accepted Financial Fraud Schemes instead of GAAP Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Whats with all these white collar crime in the world...have people forgotten how to earn a honest meal??

Yes Years 2001-2002 Were Worst years i have seen.
From 2003 Market is picked up very well.
Lets see what is in store for us in 2008.
According to OH Law:
In the election year, pro-immigration political platform constitutes a political liability as witnessed in the current national presidential debates, which turns the country into a strong anti-immigration environment. Consequently, the immigrants will continuously suffer from the seriously broken immigration system. Under the circumstances, people seek the administrative solutions and relief by the immigration-related agencies. However, the hostile political environment tends to work against such decisions for the government agencies as any pro-immigration administration policy may be considered a political liability for the ruling party. It is indeed a difficult time for immigrants. The USCIS has announced that it was working on issuing a multi-year single document for employment authorization and advance parole, but it is considered not necessarily for the immigrants, but as we discussed earlier, it was a calculated decision for the government finance. The current leadership of the immigration-related government agencies are lame-ducks and immigrants may not be able to expect too much any pro-immigrant moves at the administration-level because of the political pressure from the ruling party.
What is coming ahead? Economic recession and potential massive layoffs and lack of job opportunities for foreign workers. The changing landscape for the employment cannot come in any worse time when the immigrant visa numbers are heavily oversubscribed and clogged, forcing the foreign workers to take a long journey in the hostile employment environment. As the situation moves into steeper economic recession, the foreign workers tend to face not only a risk of layoff but also abuse by some employers who attemp to take advantage of the harsh environment against the foreign worker job markets. These foreign workers should prepare themselves for a difficult time ahead.
For those who are in 485 track, management of AC 21 portability will turn out to be a saviror and constitute an important task. Less fortunate are those who suffer from the visa number rectrogress and are unable to even file I-485 applications. For these immigrant workers, loss of jobs will practically wipe out the immigration opportunity. The longer the visa retrogression period lasts, the harshier their journeys will be. What about those new foreign workers who have yet to look for a job and start the immigration journey from the scratch?
Under the circumstances, all one can hope for is a short-lived economic recession and a turn-around of the country's political landscape in favor of immigration.
Year 2008 may be recorded one of the harshiest years for foreign workers. Immigrant workers, be prepared!

My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?
I have seen changing address triggered RFEs in some cases where an applicant moved out of state or even to a new city within the same state. In such cases, RFE was asking for proof of employment in the same or similar role.

Guys,
I took an info pass last week to check the status of my case. Specifically to check whether the interfile is success or not. IO at USCIS office mentioned that she cannot check whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. I am surprised to hear that. Gurus any has this kind of experience?
Also, She mentioned that my case is assigned to an Officer on August 13th. Do any one has any info how many days(on average), an Office will take to approve a case. Any info. is helpful to me and all.
Overall the Field Office people were polite.
Thanks,
Thun.

Why do you assume this is an indian website and everyone can understand hindi. This website has a purpose and if people like you write in hindi you will annoy a lot of people.
Nice poem or whatever!
Since I liked it, I will translate it in english for those who don't understand Hindi.
BE HAPPY ....
Life is short, every moment be happy
At office be happy, at home be happy
no cheese today, eat bread be happy
no time for gym, walk 2 steps and be happy
no friends, watch tv be happy
can't go back home, call home be happy
somebody is angry with you, even enjoy this and be happy
whom you can't see, listen to their voice and be happy
whom you can't get, in memories of them be happy
Keep thinking of doing MBA, in SW be happy
didn't get laptop from office, at desktop be happy
yesterday is gone, in its memory be happy
tommorrow is uncertain, dream about it and be happy
smile and laugh, in today be happy
Life is short, every moment be happy
