IV has been doing a great job, we should all be proud of being a part of it.
I came across this post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10316).
I think we should keep fighting till our goal is met. Can IV core team shed some light whether recapturing the unused visa numbers is ever possible ? Even if there is slightest change, we should NOT GIVE UP and work towards it. I've read that USCIS have so far wasted upto 600,000 EB visa numbers.
Now we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for multi year EAD or EAD validity during the period of AOS(I-485). Should we roll up our sleeves and work for the recapture of unused visa numbers ? How to make this happen, Please share your thoughts and ideas.
LETS NOT STOP UNTIL WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE!

I would definetely be able to help in getting in touch with Ravi. My dad used to work as Information Officer in the NRI ministry.
I will keep the group updated.
Also to be really frank I don't see any help from Indian politians, but let's give it a try.
They will not care for us at all! But, there is an outside chance that one of the retrogressed is related to one of them or somebody knows a politician... and our e-mail also reaches them at the perfect time! And, one of the concerned politician/minister happens to meet one-on-one with Karl Rove, or any such powerful figure in the Bush Team! And, they bring it up with the Bush Team, who assure them they will make Retrogression disappear!!!
;) Hey, if we were so lucky - one of us might have won $365 mil Powerball, and donated $200K or more to IV outright! I would have, I know that for sure!
But, we have to keep trying every which way! Everything to gain- nothing ventured, nothing gained! Please, do not misunderstand me - I am not making light of somebody's ideas! Great things happen only if we keep trying!!!

Her visa stamp was expiring on 15Feb07 and she entered US in Dec'06 and she was carrying the extended H4 I-797 valid till 2009. The officer at POE gave the I-94 valid only till 15Feb07. I did lot of research and found the last action on I-94 invalidates the previous ones. So her I-94 was valid only till 15Feb07. I went to the local CBP office and the officer understood what I'm talking about. He took copy of I-94 and issued a new I-94. He faxed it to some company which keeps the I-94 database.
So if possible it's better to go in person and explain. My 2 cents.
I am in a similar situation. "guyfromsg" , you are correct about the 'last action rule'.
1) My old Visa(stamped on my passport) was from Oct 1 2005 - Oct 1 2008.
2) In 04/07, I moved to a new employer. New I797(and its corresponding I-94) is from 04/2007 - 04/2010.
3) Travelled outside US. Before returning, I didn't stamp a new Visa because my old Visa was still good. When returned in Jan 2008, at the POE , the officer issued a new I-94 and stamped the expiry date as Oct 1 2008. He mentioned that since the old visa was expiring on 2008 and because I didn't have a new Visa stamped (even though I had a new 797A) , he can't stamp the I-94 with the '2010' expiration date.
4) My attorney just raised a red flag. He mentioned that the 'last action rule' goes against me. The last
action in this case was 'issuance of a new I-94'. So, the best approach is to get it corrected at the
local CBP - Deferred Inspections Office. He is working on getting some paper work ready.
However, another way to get by this issue would have been to file for a H1-B renewal before my
new I-94(the one issued at the POE) expired.
My attorney explained that according to the new immigration laws, the CBP officer should have stamped the expiration date from the 'LATEST' 797A. Most of the times, the officer will just detach your
I-94 from the latest 797-A and stamp it. This way no one(foreign national + Customs) needs to maintain multiple I-94's. However, not all officers are updated with the current immigration laws and policies. Now I'm waiting for some response from the CBP. I will update this thread once I get some positive feedback.
Thanks for all the great info in this thread guys!!
regards
John.

That's pretty much what my lawyer told me.
Okay. I was able to talk to my attorney just a few minutes ago. He said, to do interfiling , you do not need to have PD current based on new I-140 as this is just a case update with new 140 information. He said that in any case, your 485 will be picked based on PD. I found him very very confident when he was telling me all this info to me.

You are making an assumption that an approved petition is an indication of a valid status for the entire duration of extension. This may or may not be true after the I-140 is revoked.
That's why you have to be quick...Before your earlier employer revokes the petition...(that takes some time..) you got to get a new labor and a new approved I-140 and after that they cannot throw us out technically...
The whole thing is a mess..

My employer applied in PP and it was approved. details are give below.
Date of mailing -1/23( i presume must have used Fedex overnight)
Date of recipt/acknowledgement- 1/24
Date of approval- 2/4( online)
Date of approval email sent - 2/4
The only hitch was that they applied for 3 years extension based on 140 approval and even thougt 485 is filed the PD is not current,but got approval for 1 year only . The problem here i think is that i am completing 5 years oh H1B in feb 2008 so they extended only for 1 year till feb 2009 . Anyway that what you get when u ask your HR to file rather than have an attorney file ot handle the case. I had requested them to have an attorney handle the case but they gave me assurances that they will handle it and will do it in PP. Now i am sure they are repenting as i dont expect my GC approval for next 2 ot 3 years and now they got to shell out 1500 buck for extension every year or atleast for the next year when they retry for a 3 year extension in feb 2009.i had a word with my HR she said she is going to inquire with USCIS and discuss the case with attorney on what ground they offered one year extension and not 3 year

What about salary requirements? would it be okay if I get 20-30% lower
salary? Do I have to be getting paychecks every month?
Yeah, sticking up for the Muggle-born :)
Salary should not be drastically different, but -20-30% should not be a red flag. Can you construct a more complicated compensation agreement that would include defined compensation (salary) and your share in profits or equity of the company? On one hand, it may be a good idea overall (and will protect your friendship), on the other hand, it is a lot harder for USCIS to cause trouble if they can't clearly understand what your total compansation compared to old job would be.

Anyways anyone can check people's contribution by looking through all the posts made by a user by clicking on "find all posts by user". It is possible but requires little bit of digging.
It does not do any good. In my opinion.

Why every discussion has to end with donate - why donate? What IV has done so far? Where the money goes? EB2 vs EB3... etc. Stop hijacking threads.
By the way, the title of this thread is of no good. Don't give such title to generate clicks, your post is not a media news site to give misleading titles to generate clicks. "Whats happening with EAD delays" would have been more appropriate.
Every discussion gravitates towards donation because at the end of the day, the reality is that there is a need to mobilize funds, to take our game to the next level.
At the same time, there is a whole bunch of immigrants waiting in the queue for 5,7,10 years, passively, just talking, who could have easily contributed $25 per month to create a momentum for us.
All this complaining about transparency (knowing or not knowing that not-for-profit organizations need to follow very strict accounting and disclosure rules), is just not productive. I would rather put my trust in a bunch of fellow immigrants who are trying to help us all collectively.
Even if nothing comes out of it, I would have tried to push my luck through this group, rather than sitting and waiting for things to change on their own.
Disclaimer: I am not a part of the core or any peripheral group of IV. I am just like everyone else, but have decided to try my bit by contributing.

The 2001 recession was centered around the tech bubble... Except for people working in IT, most did not even feel it was recession... Infact the recession of 2001 was considered the shortest and the mildest on record... But it hit the tech industry hard which was at the center of the storm... Having learned their lesson, the IT companies paid a lot of attention to their bottomline and preserving their resources... The Ciscos, the Microsofts, the Oracles are sitting on huge piles of cash... So they have not been as quick to lay off people as other industries... So if you work in IT you might be thinking what recession? Things are fine... Just as people in Real estate and finance thought in 2001... However, if you look at the numbers it tells a different story... The peak unemployement during the 01 recession was 6.2%... This time we have already crossed 6.7% and there seems no light at the end of the tunnel... This is a much serious downturn, that will fundamentally affect US and rest of the world. I am surprised at the number of IT people thinking this is a small storm that will just pass away... Lehman Brothers, 140 year old bank just vanished one morning... Merrill Lynch gone! Thats some serious S**T!! Its like waking up one morning to find out that Microsoft does not exist anymore! Ask your friends working in finance (if you have any) and they will tell you how serious this is! The layoffs in IT are coming my friends... Hold on to your jobs like your life depended on it... Because things are about to get nasty for the IT sector too... Good luck!
