I cannot agree more with all the views. I have been here for over 5 years and couldn't find an employer to change to H-1B. L1 spouses can work and if the new immigration bill is passed a spouse of an illegal (who is legalizing now) via a low skilled job could also work, why can't we? We should have anyways.
There is a bill called TALENT "Through the Advancement of Legal and Educated New Talent.” which if debated and approved would let H-4s work, how can this be done?

Good post. Politics is a game of give and take. One thing legal immigrants should learn is not to distance themseves too much from the cause of illegals. If we support DREAM act, they will support SKIL bill. If we support admission bar repealed or 245(i), they will support higher numeric quotes and not counting of dependents. Think about it, our common goal is the same - to have a fair immigration system, where every desrving person has a chance to come to this country legally and with dignity.
If we support DREAM act, they will support SKIL bill.
Who are they?, they do not have any voice or vote anywhere. They are ILLEGAL, they broke the law.

Guys wait till you see "real" bulletin and even if mirror to what has been placed to Mumbai Consulate, EB3 will forward perhaps slowly now but picking up. EB3-India with PD 2004 mid and before will not have to worry that much.

Nola, your intentions are good, but I do not agree with your conclusion. You are biased against yourself and other applicants.
1. who, applicant or cis, is required to make sure gc process is properly followed?
2. also, if someone goes thru' "pain of gc revocation" due to cis error, isn't it ethical (and legally required) to provide "ead/ap" (so person can continue to work and feed his family, be in status), "reinstatement of (again) pending 485" etc. to that person by cis?
3. are these legal & ethical norms only applies to one party or both parties involved in this process?
I understand what you are saying. Both, the applicant (or applicant's attorney) and CIS shold follow the correct procedure. However, there should be no elation to getting a GC when the PD is not current, hence there should be no distress for its "revocation" - which again is a matter of semantics, there is no GC, hence there is no revocation.
I commented on what the applicant and the applicant's attorney should do based on what is ethically and legally appropriate. I did not comment on what USCIS may or may not do to resolve such a situation.
I understand the struggle you metion; I have been in the US since 1994, i lost my priority date of Aug 2002 due to impatience with the backlog center. I started my GC process in 2001! I had a job loss due to Hurricane Katrina. I am married to a US Citizen, but cannot get sponsorship from that marriage due to DOMA. The pity list goes on and on for each and everyone of us. So believe, me, i understand the aspect of "struggle" that each of us has had to endure or is still enduring in order to get a GC.
I don't see how I am biased, especially against myself - that doesn't make sense. I am not an attorney, obviously, but i work very closely with attorneys, well it is essentially my job to work with them and the bottom line in every contractual arranagement or when applying the law, comes down to what are the obligations of the entities involved whether it is a contract or the practical application of the law.

You must promote your state chapter by starting a thread and keeping it alive so those visiting the forums will know. (most people only look at latest threads)
Where is the link to your state chapter in your signature?
Well , As I have said in my earlier post I contacted the IV powers-that-be to start the Nebraska state chapter about 3 weeks ago, after initial response (asking for my phone number , which I provided) I am yet to hear from them.
Once the chapter is started, I will do whatever is needed to promote the chapter including starting a thread here and modifying my signature.

EAD is issued to ALL 485 applicants based on pending I-485. As far as I know, "pending Adjustment of Status application" is the only criteria for 485. That means both the primary applicant and the spouse will get EAD irrespective of whether dates stay current retrogress as long as you applied for I-485.
Hope this helps.
Bob

If you are employed in IT field, as far as I know federal skilled workers and AINP H1b stream are almost blocked except for managers. Canada immigration program has a list of occupation category; if you work in one of the listed classification then you can apply for PR. About an year back federal skilled worker deleted all computer related classification but managers. In May 2009, AINP did the same and now only IT managers are eligible.
If you are employed in non-IT category, you may still be eligible.
But AINP looks "little" better when compared to other immigration programs.

If many EB3 people start porting to EB2 then EB2 queue will grow. But if we think how many already jumped the line using so many ways...this is not a bad option at all. As long as we qualify for EB2 and employer is ready its the best thing to do for people waiting with 2002-2004 PD.

The word on the street is that the Cantwell amendment is not a part of the list of amendments that are currently floating around in Senate offices. There are 20 of them.
Even Bernie Sanders has one more coming (Yes, it is related to H1B). But Cantwell amendment is not there in the list of 20.
Here is the list of 20 amendments floating around in the Senate:
Democratic Amendments
1199 Dodd ---- Family parent visas
1313 Webb ---- Community ties for Zs
1236 Baucus-Tester ---- Strike all reference to REAL ID
1332 Sanders ---- Employers to certify no mass layoff
1344 Byrd ---- Border security immigration fee
1317 Menendez ---- Increased family points in merit system
1340 Brown ---- Employers post job at state agency
1468 McCaskill ---- Repeat violators who hire undocumented workers
1486 Levin ---- Iraqi religious minority refugees
1386 Leahy ---- Refugee Scholars (may instead be 1289 on EB-5 investors)
____ Schumer ---- Tamper-proof biometric social security card (no language yet)
1198 Boxer ---- Reducing Y visa cap by number of Y workers who overstay
Republican Amendments
1161 Alexander ---- Oath of allegiance for naturalization (may move to manager’s package)
1255 Bond ---- Prohibits green cards for Z holders
1473 Coleman ---- information sharing/sanctuary cities (Coleman is redrafting, new language not available)
1335/1258 Domenici ---- Federal judgeship increase (redrafting)
1490 Ensign ---- Preclusion of social security benefits
1465 Graham ---- Enforcement, plus other potential agreed upon amendments folded in (redrafting, content not clear)

I left it empty last time. It was approved. The only question I answered in Part 7 was "how many trips do you intend to use...".....I said multiple.
still waiting for an answer to my earlier qn...anybody else in same boat with an answer.?
************************************************** *****
when 485 pending pple r requesting AP to travel out and return back.
the question: 3 on page 3 of the I-131 applicatin - "If the travel document will be delivered to an overseas office, where should the notice to pick up the document be sent:"
in part 7 of the application --> can it be left empty???
since we r expecting to AP approval to arrive by mail to our mailing address, can we leave this question 3 on page3/part 7 EMPTY?
************************************************** *****
thanks
