Bkam,
The point is not about the way to get relief. There are multiple ways to achieve eligibility for EADs.
The point that I am trying to make is that every one of those ways requires legislation to be passed. Asking for EAD/AP through I485 filing even with visa number unavailability, is as good, if not better, than the other suggested methods.
I would really hesitate to ask for EADs for people still in labor cert. Our requirements, after much effort, were included in amendments simply because they are really technical adjustments to existing law. They do not increase the number of immigrants into the US and do not substantially change the process. Asking for EADs for people stuck in labor cert would be a substantial change in process, and would make it harder to get legislative sponsors.

Are you so powerful to make all these changes ? You don't have to do so many things for me. Just get me a GC. I won't ask for anything else from you.
Take it easy.
I think these baby steps on enforcing due-diligence will get us all there....

u know what i think, doggy, doggystyle and devils_advocate are all the same person, or they are anti-immigrants who are teaming up. admin may want to look at them closely... i would.... others can keep an eye on these guys too....
u know what i think, you're a paranoid schizophrenic ( having someones else name doesnt help your cause either:p )
I think Pappu has had enough correspondence with me to know whether i am an anti or an anti-exposer :)
I seriously think you folks need to get a grip over yourselves, it quits being funny and turns ridiculous after a while.

MET3259- Thanks for the Post. It was great.
Could you address my quiestion regarding "low" wages. How "low" are they and what does 'low" mean in Canada, relative to cost of living and especially real estate prices. Can you afford to buy a decent house or apartments in average salary?
Thanks
Excellent question. Wages are lower (with a few exceptions like teachers) than in the US, but we are not talking about "poor house" wages. I made $70K Cdn (remember, a dollar is still a dollar at home - so don't convert to US$) and made $77K US my first year in the US. The job though went from a process engineer, to a plant manager of a small plant.
I have tried to talk to my friends in Canada about this (and job opportunity) and figure it out - how come I can make more in the US and have more carrier opportunities. I really do not know the exact answer, but... (let me try anyway):
It is easy to "shine" in the US - again, the average (and by no means not all) person here is less educated and has less drive/ability than at home -- thus more competition (relatively speaking) than in the US.
Economies of scale in the US present more opportunity.
I did notice, that in the US, you can be a grade 8 drop out and still make a lot of money if you are willing to work (and have at least a little luck - re: the song "sun screen"). That very rarely(if ever) happens back home.
Along this line of thinking, it is easier to sell a "widget" in the US as the average consumer is not that bright. Canadians are at least a little more hesitant/intelligent/cautious with purchases. The US have more disposible imcome than Canadians (which should tell you a lot right there).
Another difference is the banks in Canada will tell you how much you can spend. In the US, they just keep giving morgates, car loans, credit cards to anyone (even my 6 year old son got a peapproved application for a credit card). In Canada - the bank will say - "you can not afford that" - we do not have people morgated to the hilt, with a SUV (or 2) in the driveway ready for bankrupcy if they loose their job.
Conclusion - you can afford a house and renting in Canada (unlike the US) is actually cheaper. Wages can be and most liekly are lower, but - no ghettos, no bankrupcy due to illnesss, safer streets (although it is getting worse).
Hope that helps.

This is by far THE MOST RIDICULOUS suggestion on this forum I have come across.
Sorry man, this wont work for ANYONE out here. We have been waiting since TWO AND A HALF Years to file and now you want us to wait for 15 more days only to realize that USCIS may actually yank the rug out under us. I mean think about it, we will all feel like MONUMENTAL FOOLS if that happens. Try explaining THAT to your spouse who has been waiting for 2 years or more to apply and get an EAD. I know mine would KILL me if i even suggested that to her ;)

I have also observed all my H1Bs that expired 4 years and two years ago, have got soft LUDs after I used AC21.
In fact the status on my I-485 case stopped changing even when they issued RFE and FP notice. I straightaway received these notices. The status on my case has not changed for last six months, my FP happened 3 months ago. So now I get scared even if there is just LUD on any of my cases as I am not sure what is this about.
Overall AC21 has been a very tense experience for me. Please do not go that way if your original employer is a real bad guy. In my case the original employer was as bad as one could be, the laywer that new employer hired is as insensitive, arrogant and crack-pot as one could be and new employer absolutely careless.
Full one and half year has passed since I changed employer, six months since I submitted my evidence, almost four months since my second FP and I still don't know what is going to happen.
So my advise to all of you, think ten times before embarking on this risky or rather tension packed journey. There is no thrill in it.

^^This is not gonna happen... and even if it did....well I guess the companies will finally take notice when there are no new people to hire and fire and their bottom lines are hit with permanent hires for every small and odd project......guess what that they will do then....outsource more work to other countries......:)
Good or bad, Virtue or Vice, companies simply can't hire permanent employees with full 'American' benefits for short-term projects....this where the consulting leeches come in.....its all supply and demand man....

Right now, so much work is outsourced and it is continuing. Very difficult to get a IT job in US on h1b and IT consulting on h1b also facing so many hurdles. For any new immigrant on a software job who wants to get a h1b visa and green card - it is not an easy task.
Yes its pretty much difficult for an Indian to arrive here and find a job. Forget about settling, many EB3s have already crossed 5-10 year mark. EB2 at least 5.
I guess he left out the point about locals moving to non-IT related fields in which the salaries are very slowly catching up to IT. These need to grow now with govt, private sector support, now that the glamour of US GC is almost non-existent for new IT graduates and almost pays back like the typical 20 year LIC policy of the 1990s I had. India has always been good in other industries like Textile, steel, cars, etc, and need to get some to world class levels.
I was going to say infrastructure is improving and things would get very good in India in 5-10 years (?) that US IT folks would seriously not find a difference in lifestyle.
But then I saw one of the recent movie hits, and saw the most stuff seemed to be incredulous, unbelievable - good songs though. I change my mind most times when I read some local news or see an occasional movie.
Is there a fundamental change in thinking needed in some areas among a vast majority? something to do with realism, acheiving quality in everything.
Corruption doesn't seem to be the only problem.
Money may not always be the primary reason for people to relocate to India. It will be an oppurtunity to experience the best quality of work, education and learning, the same reason many of us come here.
There has to be more aggressive regular benchmarking of everything with developed countries.
I guess its also a normal part of evolution to a future developed country.

actually this memo, as far as my understanding goes, does not say it. there is no where the clause that filling AC21 documents means that it will become urgent for USCIS to make a decision on your i-140.
it is more applicable to the i-485 i.e. if your i-485 comes up for adjudication and you have file ac21 and your i-140 is pending as well, then the portability is only valid if i-140 is approved. of course after that to make sure that the portability is valid they will apply the "similar job" criteria.

Ok, I've seen a lot of threads about go to the rally, actions items, I've reading a lot of guys saying dont ask for your receipt status, dont waste your time etc, etc.
Yes we did the rally we were great with all those signs, and appearing in the Indy TV but...
Question remains open:
1. When are they going to increase the GC quota?
2. When congress id going to do something?
I've the feeling that that's it we made our point but we are still with no GC, waiting receipts..............
I would strongly suggest you read the history of civil rights legislation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964
Compared to civil rights movement ours is much smaller in size and strength. Change happens very slow in a democracy.

Why is there no country limits for asylum, lottery and Green cards for undocumented in CIR bill?
asylum - you are very funny
lottery - acctualy they have a country limit
green card - :confused:
undocumented - we are talking about legal immigration (for gk_2000 also)
Country limits is just a disguise for racism. !
explain your logic please...........the limits are not based on Asian, African, Indian,etc........please check the dictionary to find out what it means racism.

Sujan vatarapu you are a baby here. you just believe what ever supereme court says! it is influenced by politicians, and the so called minority community in India. So if you dont know dont argue. I never said anything -ve about athiest, I said they are denying themselves by claiming as an atheist. that is about it. When you point a finger three of your own fingers are pointing towards you Please understand that.
exactly and it applies more to you because if someone does not agree with your opinion thats what you do, wherz the proof that supreme court is influenced by minorities? you are totally out of touch with reality and u probably are struck with 70s/80s mentality, no point in arguing with you,

I did search this with given phrase.. All the search results I see are directed to university websites.. primarily referring to I-20 validity. May be since universities are a little particular about status issues, informing the rules in advance.
In my wifes case, the company policy is not include on the payroll until the first project starts and after that they pay even on the bench. And so far no one (primary) was denied GC from her company. We didn't realize the problems earlier.. she was willing to work earlier.. but since all the clients were asking for SS#, they asked her to wait till she gets one. She soon got accepted by a F500 client, but since the director was on vacation, the the project didn't start till early june 06.. I was a little worried, so though my lawyer didn't ask, she asked her employer for an employment letter. We may be able to request additional letters if USCIS issues reasonable RFE from company. Well.. there is no point in discussing my case further except for stress relief..:(.. what ever happens happens.

This is my first post so forgive if I am not in the right place,
But I have situation where in I need your inputs to decide.
I am working at a clients place and they willing offer me a full time position.
My Labor is approved Oct 2007 and Filed for I-140 receipt pending.
In this situation should I change my job or should I wait for I 140 to be approved or wait till I apply for I 485 , but as you know the priority dates have retrogressed for EB2 and I heard that they will be unavailable shortly.
I always wanted to get a full time right from my Masters but ended up as a consultant as I had to get my H1 done.
Please Advice!
I would suggest to wait for I-140 to be approved. Once I-140 is approved , PD belongs to you. You can then move to another employer and then restart GC and port the PD with the new employer when they file for I-140. There is a grey area where I am not sure if old employer withdraws I-140 , if you will still be able to port the PD. Some say you cannot port previous PD if previous I-140 is withdrawn due fraud or misrepresentation. Some say if its withdrawn then thats sufficient to lose the old PD no matter what the reason of withdrawl is.
