felix31,
Do you have a valid AP ? If yes, you wouldn't have problem entering US on AP. Just show your valid AP at POE and they will let you in with a "congratulations". I know someone whose GC was approved when he was out of US. He was let in with his AP with no issues.
approval when not current:
Are you sure you never applied for I-140 on your previous labor ? Your company might have done it. There was a recent occurrence of GC approval where USCIS picked up on old dormant I-140 and approved an IV members GC when she least expected.

I agree with you. Why are we penalised for being on H4 Visa ?
Most people on H4 Visas are well educated and would easily be able to contribute to american economy. We are lawabiding and can give so much to american economy. All our talents are wasted and skills are rotting sitting around for the backlog centers to clear the LC's and for retrogression to end.Meanwhile we practically have no life and are completely dependant .
Immigration Voice should try to include the greviances of H4 spuses into consideration.

I had an august 2004 labor that USCIS erroneously predatd on my 2006 August I-140. A couple of years ago when 2004 Aug was current, I followed up and was then told that I should never have been given the 2004 date as no I-140 was filed for it..and told, So, sorry about it...but please keep waiting for the priority date.
a USCIS mistake that they corrected after 2 years ....lots of frustration for me....

I agree with Bharat Premi...
Even according to my lawyer there are not much cases in 2004 /2005 EB3 I...
Guess many have chosen EB2 as they were eligible by that time .I dont understand why EB3 I is being projected so negatively.
Many have already transferred EB3 to EB2.
2001/2002 may be there are still duplicate open applications which USCIS have to sort out .
Lets hope for the best...But seeing Bharat Premi responses...builds hope.

Yes, I mean, eventually they would get their citizenship. It takes few years, but they will get there.
Are you sure it is possible to sponsor your nieces, uncles etc if you are permanent resident? Don't you have to be a citizen to do that? I always thought you have to be a citizen to do that.

I am not indian, I am chinese, and I attended the rally in DC. I am so touched by you brave indian people. while I feel such a shame that we only had much less chinese there. part of the reason is that IV is originally indian club. we got the message but kind of lack the close organization.
anyway, I am also thinking about another rally.
1, it has to be on weekends, so everyone can come
2. it should be in multiple cities, from coast to coast, all major cities.
DC. NYC, chicago, LA, SF, houston, boston. reserach triangle, seattle etc, where professional immigrants lives most.
3. we need to make sure everyone will come, need good personal organization, not just voluntarily, we need personal contact, conversation, meetings ahead, level by level, to build a good "relationship" with each other.
yes, this is the hard part.
4. we really need to study the illegal immigrant rally last time, how successful they were !!!!
5. honestly, we didn't get much media coverage. shame ! nothing on TV, newspaper frontpage. but--- if we have a huge rally, everyone will have to cover us, pay attention to us. it all depends on us.
Love you guys
we should hurry up

As we have been learning, majority of the American public (including your neighbors) associate immigration reform with illegal immigration. Now if you ask them politely and ask whether they support immigration for highly skilled/highly educated individuals (already in the US working), you will hear no protests.
So basically, it boils down to awareness. When we have people affected by retrogression, unaware of the issues, how can we expect a lawmaker to know the inner details?
Just contact the lawmaker's office for creating awareness. Pro/anti-immigration is an after-thought.

Hi Guys...
Here is 100 more from me through Paypal. I was excited to learn that there is another bill in the works that supports converting the 55,000 visas to advanced degree holders. That will free up a lot of visas in the EB-2 category and also some in the EB-3 category.

Being bitter does not get us anywhere..
There are only so many leaders who are willing to galvanize people. Most people are content to be followers or be in the sidelines..
Do not expect everyone to be in leadership roles.. As you might know from any meetings, lots of people RSVP but don't show up.. It is unfortunate but that is the truth in pretty much any type of meetings..
The Houston chapter is getting more action. Why don't we collaborate and talk together.. Remember, we don't need 100s of leaders.. We need 10 - 20 who can get the rest of the people moving..
Lets not lose hope and surely, lets not get bitter and angry. We all make sacrifices.. There is no way to compare one versus the other.. and comparing does not get us anywhere..
Lets not look for what other people can do for us.. lets look what we (be it 10 or 100 of us) can do for everyone else..
Most people in the forum will support and help us.. A few people will just read and be cynical.. some will be free riders.. we cannot change these..
What we can do is make a decision to drive change.. and work towards it..
Change will happen.. We just have to persist and believe..

You stand a better chance of getting it through your kids if they are citizens than getting it through EB3. There are a few options to get green card faster. Canada is not one of them.
1. Get a Ph.D, get a job in a univ and apply in EB-1.
2. Get a MBA and get a management job and apply in EB-1.
3. Become a religious worker in some temple and apply in the religious worker category.
Fun apart, if you feel comfortable that you can find a job of your liking, and you believe your background will qualify you for a PR, consider Canada. It is a good place to live. You never miss home there. I am a Cdn citizen and have lived there for many years. Most likley I'll return back to Canada when I decide to retire. I know at least one person, who after living in the US for 11 yrs and unsuccessful in getting a GC, chose to make Canada his home, hoping to be there just for 3 yrs (needed to be a citizen), and then return to the US on TN permit. He has been in Canada for 8 yrs, and does not want to consider to move to the US any more.
Canada has a bit slower life, but is better socially and people are friendlier. It has less professional opportunities, lower pay and more tax. Yet, overall I think Canada is a better place to live. Why am I in the US? Purely for professional reasons. I visit Canada quite frequently, which I consider as my home.

H1B visa is meant to be for people with skills that are in shortage in the US. If any H4 feels that he/she should be able to work, he/she should get a H1B. I agree that it may be difficult for some H4s to find a sponsorer for H1B, because their skills are not in shortage in the US.
Some spouses may join their H1B counterparts in the US, with an expectation that they will eventually get the GC and will be able to work, no matter what their skill set is. This is a reasonable expectation. So, blame the retrogression.
I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work. They just take away jobs of more skilled workers who are unable to get H1Bs and who are still in their home countries trying for one. Skill-less free riders!
Now, please don't bash me with counter arguments!! ;)
sorry but this is ridiculous. If the US has a skill shortage and wants foreign workers, it should ensure that the foreign worker and his/her family are given the same rights that a domestic workers family enjoys.
If they can't give that right, why do they want to invite the foreign worker at all?
Its true that they are not forcing this on us and we are free to go back anytime. But still isn't the inequality pretty clear here? and this country is supposed to be all about equality...

Here are my observations:
* Fragommen, National - if you sre shelling dough out of your pocket, stay away from them. They are a corporate law firm & if your case gets into a mess, you'll end up paying by the hour. Their rates are higher and you will not get personal attention
* Greenberg Traurig, National - Dealt with them at a corporate level. Their team from DC did not have answers to some complicated situations that we had in our organization
* Murthy, MD - Sheela is good. She is aggressive and creative but they don't pay attention to detail and have good churn in their staff. Take into account you will not deal with Sheela herself on a day to day basis, so no point going to her firm
* Thomas Fan, MD - dude is in Baltimore. Avoid his firm like the plague. I know at least 2 cases where this guy has screwed things up bigtime AND washed his hands off the mess he created. These 2 cases eventually moved on to other firms & were successful
* Ellen Krengel, CA - Ellen is certified to practice in IL but lives and works in CA. Very approachable, empathetic, she will research things for you and keep you plugged into the situation. Relatively junior attorney but is commited to the cause
* Gowda, MI - Similar situation to Murthy. Firm's day to day work load is taken care of by junior attorneys not Gowda.

Dear Members,
We have worked hard in the last 4 years and have made some progress along the way Immigration Voice Achievements (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=47) But Most of us are still in the limbo of green card process and waiting in different stages. Some of us may have advanced to the I-485 stage and have a little more career flexibility but the hanging sword of uncertainty still looms over our heads.
Our angst, our insecurity:
Even with EAD and other options, lack of green card is lack of security and lack of certainty. You know it and you feel it every day. In order to find a permanent fix for the uncertainty, angst and insecurity and in order to snap out of the probationary lifestyle and career, we have to finish what we started over 4 years ago -- get the U.S. Congress to act on this problem and solve it once and for all.
Early effort wins:
The first agenda of next Congress will be immigration and we expect an immigration bill to be debated sometime in early 2011. However, it would be a big mistake to wait until that time to do something about that bill. Successful advocacy efforts are the ones that start early and introduce concepts and ideas into the debate before the legislators write their first draft. Once the committee hearings and debates begin, it is harder to get changes or fixes into a bill because it requires an amendment to the bill in a politically charged and heated atmosphere. Groups and organizations that wait until the last minute to influence members of congress often fail to achieve results. In order to succeed in next year's immigration bill, we have to begin talking to members of congress now. Remember, the advocacy efforts we did with lobby day and rally in Sept 2007 influenced congress to include our provisions in bipartisan bills introduced in Aug 2008. Legislative things take time.
How you can help:
You and help in two different ways:
Join the advocacy effort in DC on June 7th and 8th. (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum85-action-items-for-everyone/1437978-iv-announcement-advocacy-days-in-washington-dc-7th-and-8th-june.html) If you have never done this before, we encourage you to help us with this and join us. Immigration voice will arrange the logistics of setting up meetings and arranging the material for you to take to your Congressmen and Senators. We are expecting about 150 immigration voice members to gather in DC and participate in over 200 meetings with Congressmen and Senators.
Contributing Funds to help finance the effort (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum85-action-items-for-everyone/1534974-funding-drive-iv-needs-your-support-for-advocacy-events-in-dc.html). You are most welcome to come to DC and join us but if your job demands are such that you cannot take two days off on June 7th and 8th, then you can still contribute to this effort by contributing financially to Immigration Voice. Many expenses tied to the travel of grassroots members from distant states is being expensed by Immigration Voice. So kindly contribute funds to this effort by clicking on this link. You have an obligation to yourself and your family to plant your career in this country once and for all. EAD and AP, if you have them, are not going to cut it. We are not there yet. And we have to finish together what we started together.
Thank you.
