This is something that's doable without legislation. It would be done for employment based visas.
I've been reading the posts all day since yesterday. The most plausible "PERMANENT SOLUTION" has to be this. Please read the msg from IV
1. No change in July bulletin
2. No change in August bulletin
3. Well in that case it has to be this. It would be least controversial.
This however would be a good solution for the over-subscribed countries, and bad news for the other countries...

How about Mexico? I saw some notes on tavle.state.gov (Mexico (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_970.html)), which says -
"As of May 1, 2010, non-U.S. citizens with valid U.S. visas may enter Mexico with the U.S. visa, and do not have to obtain a Mexican visa. "
As of May 1st, 2010, no visa is required to travel to Mexico as long as you have a valid visa or AP to return back to the US. We flew to Cancun on May 14th 2010 with our AP and were there for a week. We had no issues either in Mexico or on our arrival back into the US.

Thanks for responding.
I was going back through the statements that we received from the Insurance Company. The statements shows OASDI tax withheld, which is the SS tax. I believe, the employer is equally responsible to contribute 6.2% of the income to the SS and 1.45% to medicare. That means, this income should be added to the SS wages and medicare wages by the employer. I would be complaining about this employer tomorrow to IRS.
bbct :
My wife was on maternity leave last year. She was paid partially by the State and partially by a 3rd party insurance company. Her employer did not pay for these, so they did not include it on her W2.
I am not sure if your case is similar, but this is what I know about maternity leave benefits. BTW I am in CA, so I am not sure how it works for other states.
AFAIK, Short term disability payments are not taxed by Fed and State. We got a W-2 from the 3rd party ins company. This W2 only mentions the payments as "Third-party sick pay" and does not add to the gross W2 wages. My wife also took the CA paid family leave which is paid by the State. We got a 1099-G from the state for this. AFAIK, the paid family leave payments are taxable by Fed but not by CA state. BTW, fathers are also eligible for this paid family leave in CA within the 1st birthday of the baby.

Thanks for all the info,
For AC21, I have read you don't need approve I-140, only approvable is good enough, new employer no need file new LC, no need ability to pay just have to be the same titile and similar pay. But I still not clear about self-employ.
Last question,
If I were to go with I-140 premium, and get approve let says October 15.
Is it going to do any good because 485 is even worse, right now is processing only Dec 2, 2005 and move slower than turtle. That's why I need to know somebody who get 485 approve from Nebraska to say something here. But I know basically people who already got 485 approved will never come back to spend time on this forum. But if you know friends or anybody got 485 approved please write something like Priority date and 485 receipt date.
Thanks again
As all the I-140's from CA and VT were transferred to NSC in April so it is slow. I guess they are currently working on cases filed in the month of April. If your I-140 is not approved by December then you might want to consider converting it into Premium Processing so that you can avail the benefits of AC21 once your I-485 is pending for more than 180 days.

Both me and my wife are working on EAD.
Our AOS is pending since the July 2007 surge.
My company lawyer recently renewed my H1 (to have it as a backup) and also suggested that we renew my wife's H4.
I received my H1 approval and wife received her H4 approval.
I also visited India and re-entered USA on a new H1 stamp.
My lawyer himself is worried now whether he got my wife into H4 status since her approval in May and that since she continued working, he is worried that she technically "worked while on H4" which is not allowed, based on the last action rule.
Can you advise if we have created any issue by renewing her h4?
Also what is the remedy for this.
According to me this should be of NO issues, since a person is allowed to maintain his/her H status while AOS is pending, as per the dual intent doctrine. Also I think the last action rule is applicable within a specific category. For example when a person applies for h1/h4 at almost the same time, both are non-immigrant categories, then if USCIS approves h1 first and h4 later, then the last action rule would get applied and technically person would become h4. BUT this should not affect the AOS application since its a totally different category, thats a immigrant category.
Please advise if we did anything wrong by renewing her H4 and any solution to fix this.

I am an Indian National residing in US for the past 10 years.
My labor was filed in September 2006 under Eb3. I received my EAD in 2007 and my current legal status is EAD. Since 2006, I am with the same employer.
In 2008, I got promoted to a Managerial position which requires Bachelors and
minimum 5 yrs progressive experience. I also have a Masters degree in the same field.
I want to port my application to EB2
1. Will this result in me loosing my EAD?
2. What will happen if there is a problem with the new EB2 application - will it also impact the EB3 application?
3. Is it better to change companies to do the porting?
Please advice.

Thanks chanduv23! I used the template he provided this morning (with some editing) to email senators from my state of residence.
Guys, please use this template to email senators from your state.
Also, please contribute to IV. I just did today, and believe me, you will feel better for doing so...
This is not just for you and me, but also for those who will come after us. Also, this is not a battle just to sue USCIS/DOS, but a war we need to fight on multiple fronts:
1) First and foremost, we the immigrant community need to join hands and fight as one cohesive group.
2) Sue the government agencies for damages/violation of law/precedents due to the revised visa bulletin
3) Get this matter the attention it deserves in the media
4) Try and get congress to intervene in this matter, and also introduce and pass legislation that will fix the broken employment based immigration system
5) Request corporate sponsorship. Since employers spent money on this fiasco as well, they will have a vested interest in pursuing this as well.
The main thing, however, is funds. IV needs funds to fight for us. Each of us has already spent 100's (many even 1000's) of $ trying to get ready to file our I-485's. So even if 10,000 members contribute just $100 each, it will be $1 mil. I am sure each of us can at least spare that much. It is a small price to pay for liberation from this GC mess for all of us....
With ~15,000 members already, and hopefully some serious $$$$$$ raised, IV will be a force to be reckoned with. No one will be able to treat us with such utter disdain ever again...

Isn't the UK issue different.
They are trying to change rules retroactively. There is no such thing going on here.
A similar stance would be if in midstream: lawmakers changed retroactively that only if the job makes more then $150,000 it is qualified for EB2; only companies with revenues of over $20 million can apply for greencards. If they changed the rules retroactively in USA which would preclude people who are already in line; then you would see massive amounts of protests.
However; what is happening in UK is not the same issue here. Same thing happened in Canada a few years ago when they changed the point system and wanted to do it for people retroactively.
Here, with retrogression in the background, a lot of mess is being cleaned up and a lot of enforcements are coming in place to curb visa abuse. It is quite interesting to see how enforcements are being done and how things will be handled because on one side job market is booming, on one side you find big and small consulting doing alll sorts of things and utilising visas, on one side you see locals (Especially older people who lost jobs and find it diffucult to find jobs because of their age). Overall, it wwould bee interesting to see what will the course of action be.
From what I understand, Retrogression is the only "retroactive measure using diplomacy" and I guess thats it. Stricter enforcements will be there but those who manage to get past, will always get past.
IVs strategists must look into a diplomatic angle to come up with mechanisms to fight retro which I think IV is currently doing and is on the track.

you should be fine....doctor will just mention that you need to get one more shot....
Guys,
Thanks a lot for the response.
I was finally able to get a doctors appointment on July 24th.
Now comes the tricky part:
Is the varicella vaccine required ? I have not had chicken pox as a child. The blood work showed that I need a chicken pox vaccine.
I went to the county health department today , and they gave me shots for tetanus, MMR, PPD, and one shot for varicella. They said that I have to come back in 30 days for another shot of varicella.
I am not sure what my doctor will say to this when I meet him on July 24th. Also, is it possible for the doctor to provide an I-693 with a statement that the varicella shot will be completed later ?

Royus,
As per Murthy's announcement AILA finally managed to get the required number of Plaintiffs by 2:45 PM today after noon.
Still to be on the safe side shall we go ahead fill the PlainTiff form ??
what if the lawsuit is not given " CLASS ACTION " status and only Plaintiff's are benefited ?
Is there any potential advantage for AILA if they upgrade the status as CLASS ACTION - do they get any Money ??
Thanks
Its is always advisable to file the petition as AILA clearly stated that they are going to identify "class" of people. The court may or maynot give benefit for all classes .so better file and be in the "Best Class" where if AILA wins the case you will get benefited ,Dont be penny foolish as if you already spent money in getting other stuff ..what you are loosig in 1 grand for attorney fee , ( think of desi employers who gets 2 grands every month on you )
Also with todays's rumor some thing positive is in pipeline ..even july VB flip-flop also started as a rumor
