I applied for my H1-B 3yr extension and am waiting for approval. Right now I dont have a valid 797, all i have is a h1B application receipt, do I just have to include this in the 485 application package instead of the 797? Is this going to be a problem?

USCIS is clearly requesting for two passport size photos with AP application.
It is surprising that most people don't even read basic instructions with the USCIS forms, and go on asking questions and sometimes giving (wrong) suggestions in IV. Yeah, it takes a few minutes to look through the instructions but searching/writing/replying/ doubting/making mistakes/giving red dots/ etc in IV takes more time, I think. :)
I e-file my AP and I got receipt notice immediately after completion of e-file. And I got the direction on the PDF listed bellow. USCIS clearly mentioned DO NOT send Copy of ID, Photos unless they requested. That�s why I didn't send any documents to USCIS.
6) DO NOT mail photos or copies of identification unless requested to do so by USCIS.[/COLOR]

My wife and I got involved with IV activities/volunteering about 2 months before the rally....and we are very glad we did!
Its been a very rewarding and learning experience....after meeting with the lawmakers- it has fortified our belief in IV and renewed our enthusiasm about the process. After reading Logiclife's post I am convinced that active participation is the key to achieving success!
We plan on continuing our efforts - turning sceptics into believers - it is especially needed in the DC/VA/MD!
Cheers!!

Very good news indeed.
In the US politics for some reason, certain issues seem to get clubbed together.
Sometimes it suits our purposes and at other times it is vexing. Clearly our issue of legal immigration does not create the type of backlash from conservative republicans that the issue of illegal immigration does. Hence when our circumstances necessitate that we have to try to board the CIR train to our goals I consider it unfortunate.
On the other hand when it comes to H1b immigration, every H1b increase has corresponded with some sort of provision(mainly recapture) of EB visas also. H1b increase has tremendous support and pressure from the powerful capitalist forces in this country. Just see how the Wall street Journal and Pres.Bush gives publicity to this issue. I doubt pure EB provisions can get that sort of visibility in spite of the tremendous work of organisations like IV.
In that sense the H1b cap being exhausted indirectly gives our issue more visibility and is a good development. Lets wait until the 20K US masters cap is also filled, then publicity will increase even more.
All in all it looks good that something will work for us by the end of this year. The pressure is building on congress to do something about EB immigration.

I had a 2004 PD Labor RIR and my 2006 I-140 used that labor date, because I merely mentioned to an IO at TSC that I had a previously filed labor. My lawyer was shocked when it happened...had never seen it.
So, I wonder if they used your 2004 RIR as your PD. Even then EB 2 is supposed to be unavailable. Oh well, it might help to speak to an IO to get your I-140 PD changed...maybe...
EB2 India is current for April 2004. So may be they did use 2004 RIR as PD. Check with your lawyer, and see if they are aware of this.

I agree its a great idea, still most of crowd don't understand what are we asking and relates us to un-documented workers.
Even within legal community most people who are pre-gc stage (H1/LE Etc) they don't have any interest; ppl came to me at work after rally to tell me that they are 4-5 years away from my situation so they didn't feel attending rally. Bigger the better, we need big crowd, NJ/NY/MD/DC/VA are worthless. We can try doing rally in Houston, TX area, we may find dedicated people there. But I feel it will be very tough to show heads rally in big numbers.
On our next rally (hopefully soon) we should all carry placards but this time with ONE single slogan:
"WE ARE ALREADY LEGAL AND HIGHLY-SKILLED IMMIGRANTS, STOP LUMPING US WITH ILLEGALS AND END THE 10-YEAR GREEN CARD WAITS"

The intent about letting foreigners come to work in US is to fill the gap between the demand and the local availability of skills. It is not about rewarding the foreigners academic skills.
If you want to work here, then get skills in a field where there is a shortage here and you will not have problems with H1 sponsorship.
When you did your Masters degree in US, you should have been more smart in selecting your area of study.
Why should US allow foreigners to work against its citizens when there is no shortage of skill.
Your frustation is understandable from your perspective but definitely not from a US citizens perspective.
This is definitely a wrong advice. People pursue their passion and do their Masters in a field they like. People do not look around which field is giving a Green card. US is not dictating the job market in this global economy.

Sorry you missed the whole point and is side tracking the need of today: stop the grab of unused visas. Pure and simple.
Well they are also shouting about Nurse shortage just like Corporate America is shouting about shortage of H1Bs.

I know this is probably asking for trouble but no movement can be credible without listening to the dissenting voices. So here is my gripe ... You cannot open a single thread or forum without being asked for contributions these days. People are told that if they dont contribute, they are not "supporting the cause".
But the stark reality is this... If you look at the IV website to see what action/progress has been made in "the cause"....there is some vague statement about Patton Boggs and how we have this lobbyist who is educating congressmen...Who exactly? How? When? Oh those details cannot be given.
There is a link about IV in the news...the last time IV was in the news was in Sept 2007 ...19 MONTHS AGO...
Then there is a link about IV and FBI namechecks...The last update is some thread in Feb 08 and this brilliant statement from 2007 ..."IV has met officials from agencies and has raised this issue in the recent past. We have been informed that there is an effort being undertaken to significantly reduce name check backlogs in the next 6 months." SERIOUSLY?? You really expect that you can convince people to contribute based on this flimsy evidence of doing "something" that you really cant tell us ??
For those asking for money, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE UPDATE ON ANY PROGRESS SPECIFICALLY ACHIEVED BY IV IN THE LAST YEAR AND HALF !!!
How can you justify this? Actually, you dont have to....There are many like me who will answer questions of panicked people about how to navigate the complex immigration system but until IV can provide some concrete proof of what specifically it is doing, how exactly it is spending the money and what roadmap of progress it hopes to achieve and whether it is on its way to achieving it....the money wells will continue to be dry.
And this new caste system of the DONOR forum which basically says screw you to everyone who has spent time, money or effort on IV and completely goes against the "Change for fairness and Justice" mumbo jumbo is a step in the right direction, IV needs to give way to an actual movement that actually does something and this DONOR forum concept will certainly go a long way in the marginalization of this site and community.
Very valid points. Can you join the team and make it better?

I tend to agree. Anything that can give us positive publicity will work.
The flower campaign was a huge success. The holiday season is here and I was thinking about a potentially new and innovative campaign idea. Greeting cards with a recorded audio message to be sent to the Director of USCIS. The message would be unique to the individual sending it. Should include something like "Dear Sir - I wish you a happy and safe holiday season. My name is "xyz". I am a legal immigrant stuck in the green card backlog for "xyz" years. Please help us. This message is just an idea - it could be anything agreed upon by consensus.
Maybe this idea is a little corny but we have to think out of the box. Just imagine - hundreds of greeting cards with their own unique message - could make a point???

What about people with pending PERM applications?
The problem is quota of 90,000 visas is available for petitions filed before October 1st 2007. MBS will not start until October 1st 2008 (because of 270 days gap). There is no guarantee that BECs will process petitions by Octobet 1st either. Someone has to clarify if pending labor petitions will be eligible for the 90,000 quota or not. The INA section 212(5)(A) refers to labor petitions in general - PERM or BEC.

December Visa bulletin is obviously frustrating for all of us. After the recent accomplishments in July visa bulletin and the tons of approvals that we saw after that, we hoped that everything will be alright.
But that did not happen. Some of us in the community were taken by surprise, but this was expected. Afterall there are only 140K greencards available every year. EB2 for India and China is already used up for the quarter. EB3 is badly retrogressed for everyone.
Believe me, it will not get any better. It will get worse with time if there is no immigration reform.
IV can only do what its members empower it to do. If members want us to be just a site for question and answers for individual visa problems we can stay like that. If members want us to come together and do a rally in DC, we will help organize it. We did a rally in DC on Sept 18 and made great progress. However we cannot just sit back and admire one effort. We need to continue it and capitalize on it.
Now is the time for everyone to decide if they want a greencard. If you need a greencard, and want to do something about it, then you must join this effort and help yourself by helping everyone.
Our Plans
Our next hope is year end bills. If we can get some provisions in those bills we can certainly look forward to a happy new year with fast movement of visa dates. Next year is an election year and it will become much tougher for any immigration bill to pass. We will need to make super extra push next year for something to happen. So the time to act is NOW.
We have achieved great successes when we all came together and did something. If you need proof read Macaca’s post with compilation of our achievements. http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=181953&postcount=216
IV only asks 3 things from each one of you. Having these 3 pillars of support from members we will be able to increase our chances for an year end push.
================================================== ===============================
1) Please sign up for monthly contributions. Monthly contributions help us plan ahead of time and commit our resources. Your participation will determine how big of a push we can afford. Just $50 every month per person can have significant effect on the overall push that IV can plan so please consider contributing.. http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44
Please post on this thread, if you have signed up for monthly contributions.
================================================== ===============================
2) Join your state chapters now. Get together with your fellow community members and meet your local lawmakers. We are a grassroots effort and can be successful if each one of us makes a sincere effort to meet our lawmakers and apprise them of our issues. http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=72&Itemid=52
================================================== ===============================
3) Consider yourself part of something big. What we are doing is something big. We have already done what was difficult to think when this organization was started. Today we have become a big force and a voice of legal high skilled community. Each one of you defines what IV is. Your posts, your talks with media, your talks with your friends about IV, your talks with your employer about immigration problems, your time and effort you put in for IV defines who we are. Each one of you is important for the success of this effort. Each one of us is a voice and we have converged our energies to make a strong voice. Please consider yourself an integral part of IV and actively participate in the effort.

This is not just "frostrated" but silly socialist thinking too. What has "joining hands" or "new comers with fake experiences" got to do with porting.
If you can port, then just DO IT and spare yourself the pain.... why wait for "en masse transfer to EB2 by porting" or talk about "ethical reasons" and then lament after the fact ???
:confused:
I am already in the porting phase. My EB2 labor is in process. I just hate to see those still in EB3 hoping their day will come. They need to port their applications right away, or those with recent filings using fake experience will be ahead of them coz EB2 gets processed first with all the spill over.
And I would rather help them than someone like you who would not even disclose your info. You are a clear example of someone trying to walk the walk of the illegal aliens.
And what makes you think it is silly socialist? Unless you are one of the new graduates with a bachelor's degree with 5 years of experience on your resume.

I agree..calling USCIS customer service doesn't make any sense.They are all front desk people who have no clue of what's happening inside.
Of course it makes sense, that is why they are called "Customer Service". Continuing to call them at this time when we know they know NOTHING doesn't make sense. But it sure is funny to hear the crap they have to say:D

Republicans are generally more amenable to legal immigration fixes than Dems. While not all of the Dems are bad, most of them dont care about legal immigration -- they just want the illegals. If it were not for these Dems, 5882 would have sailed through by now
I am sure NoBama will say CIR. illegals first. etc. etc.
I am not sure how much the next president will affect the passage of the bill through the two houses since they were majority democrat and will continue to be majority democrat. Senate is projected to continue to be majority democrat even after the upcoming election (when 1/3th of the Senate seats are up for election). A Republican president might not veto such a bill. Not sure if Obama would veto a bill which has passed through a democratic majority vote. Just a thought........I could be wrong.
