I went through layoff and got the same response from my lawyer. The day you are not working, you are technically out of status. But I found a job in few weeks the gap between the h1b transfer is May 26th to July 1st. It was technically more than a month.
But these are done on a case to case basis, at times based on your good standing, and skills.
So though I was given 2 weeks pay in lieu of notice (as I was fired without notice), all my accrued vacation (2 weeeks) and 2 months of severance pay, lawyer told me I cannot count that as period of extended pay after layoff. So, I definitely walked a tight rope here.

The hunger observance sounds very similar to the rally that i had proposed and QGA did not like that.

Anybody thinking of this ...........
I know there is a whole lot of people asking if they can do a Executive MBA or Masters and qualify for the US Masters exemption. My question is, what about someone who started and did his Masters in his field of labor application from a accredited university, after applying for EB3 labor, and now has labor and 140 approved but waiting for PD, will this person also qualify for US Masters, or will he have to start a new labor application based on the masters degree ?
Gurus, please answer.

I think MS quota is for 485, so you should be exempt, but I don't think anyone knows for sure at this time.

Good to see and hear about the pros and cons of Logiclife's post. Both sides are valid and rightful in their own way...
However there are goals that need to be achieved for this grassroots organization and it is just not viable for just a few dedicated people to achieve it. Is it wrong on their part to appeal/call out for help? By the way this is not for the benefit of just a few people. Whoever comes to this website will be benefited by the outcome of the efforts.
No one is demanding anyone to just volunteer. Logiclife's post might have shown emotion and for members like Ram (with all due respect) it might have seemed unprofessional....but this is not a corporation which is run on a profit/loss basis. It is a people's organization solely to benefit the members. Emotion and dedication are a major part of its survival. I am not a leader but I do my minimum.
1. Contribute financially.
2. Spread awareness among friends and acquaintances in similar position.
I respect all the people who responded because I am sure they might have contributed in some way. For the others, please do more than visit the site for just updates.

h4hopeful, I am sorry to reply late. EAD lets you work. you can get EAD when your H4 spouse applies the I-485 (third stage of GC), he can also apply I-765 which will get you also an EAD along with your spouse. In order to apply for I-485 the visa numbers should be current for your spouse's priority date (Date on which your spouse's company initiated the GC process filing Labor Certification). Currently for India and CHina the dates are heavilyt backlogged. ImmigrationVoice is making our voices heard in the congress so we may get some relief. But we can only be hopeful about this, for an infinite period of time. We cannot help other than saying sorry to each other.

Gurus,
We have the EAD until Oct 2008 and we still didn't file for the renewal, I am still on
h1 and my wife on h4. we are planing to file EAD and AP somewhere in AUG when we move to other apartments. Please let me know if this is okay or do I need to file the EAD and get it renewed before the earlier EAD is expired. Thanks ...

Yeah there are tons of people who got their GCs with PD 03, but there are tons more waiting in 02 to get their GCs.
Sure there may still be 2002 files waiting but it is definately not a GREAT number. Here are three logical bullets to conslude that.
- Many people with 2000/1/2 dates have already left USA - Tired: Could not
take the delay:Found good oppertunity back home or elsewhere
- Black labor market played a part to shift a considerable load either to EB2 or
PD date from 1999/2000 and thus many people preferred that path either
stuck in EB2 or have already got their GC
The only thing we can be unsure about stuck in NC with those early PDs.
Having said this, it is ofcourse impossible to predict perfect chain of future flow, I see hope for EB3-I in this year, particularly last quarter at least for the people having 2004-Mid and before PDs.

Yes, country of birth should get us close.
needhelp...maybe instead of country of chargeability we should ask for grouping by country of birth; this is an actual field required in the I-485 form.
You are right about priority date. It is not a field available in the 485 form. in the 485 form we reference the approved I-140, which is the only place where your see the "Priority Date" field.

Simply amazing ...
have you guys lost the ability to think and read...
It is USCIS that decides the categories and it is they who say that EB1 is more skilled and valuable than other categories
Again ... like I said in my post .... It is NOT NOT individual's qualifications or Country that matters, it is the JOB descr they do that decides the EB category. IF USCIS places more value on EB1 than EB2/EB3 category jobs that is not my problem .... but thats the way it is... and that was my point .... if the value placed on the job is higher that job...
If things make you sick .... there is a fix for it .... go to a doctor ...
But truly... I do believe you are sick, inability to coherently digest a discussion and think is a serious anomaly and you should get it checked out...
What the hell do u mean?
How many people in EB2 do a different job from EB3?
Most of the people in EB2 almost do the same programmer job. I have been in this country for a long time. I have friends who have done their MS from colleges like stanford, santa barbara. I don't see a difference in their role. I have more than 10 yrs of exp. I have worked in different roles too.
For jerks like u to come and talk abt people in EB3 being unskilled, makes me sick.
Shut the f*** up

And funniest thing is, if there is any spillover, that happens from least trafficked categories.
Not the other way around as how it is supposed to be, logically...
I understand the frustration. Yes, its not fair et all.
EB I is really beaten up and no respite at the corner. And yes, it looks awkward when even late EB2 filers going way ahead ... Of course, no offense...But just wish EB 3 too has the same treatment....
Oh boy, its sad anyways.

Democrats have taken control of senate also...
I don't think that Dems are quite there yet. I thought I saw CNN reporting one seat in Virginia still undecided. This is the seat where Allen's the incumbent. He is trailing by a thin margin, and I suppose there'd be a recount here. It appears Allen may lose his senate seat in Virginia thanks to his infamous utterance. In that case Dems have the majority.
If GOP were to retain majority in Senate and Dems in House, what would be fate of the congress? Will anything pass through both houses?

I think that going back to your home country ONLY because you feel overwhelmed by the delays in GC processing/retrogerssion (assuming you are quite content in your job and standard of living) is not a good idea. Especially true in the event that you and your family experience difficulties in adjusting professionally and socially after returning back. Chances are you might soon get a feeling of having taken a wrong decision in the heat of the moment, especially if the guys who stay back and ride this retrogression storm see some relief while you are still trying to adjust to the changed environment of your home country. You may even get tempted to come back and give the GC thing another shot but then you have to start at square one again.
Going back to home country only because of the shortcomings of GC process is like deciding to take a sanyas because you are tired of dealing with social issues. I belive a decision to renounce something should only come from a position of strength. A true jogi is one who understands the triviality of society and decides to rise above it...not the one who denouces it because he can't deal with it.
As the saying goes..its darkest before the dawn...I truely hope this is the case for all of us here...
We all know its not an easy 1-2-3 to happen in a jiffy for something to be debated in the Capitol hill...signed by the President..and becoming a law, against all odds of gas hikes,natural disasters,anti immigration...Immigration stands on a scale of 1 to 10,maybe number 9 or 10.

I am sorry you feel like that about IV core. I am not a CORE member so I can't speak for them but if you have spent a basic amount of time following and more importantly taking part in IV initiatives you would not have "decided" that IV is promoting "EB2" agenda simply because there is no such agenda.
I am sure you noticed this but if not, this is a free speech and membership forum and IV is not made up by pappu or paskal but each and every one who tries to make some difference by participating in the action items.
If you think that there needs to be IV initiatives that better suit your needs, you know what...lead it...set up action items....organize like minded folks. IV is setup for that. It is easy to just point fingers and put out statements based on your negative perception, if you really feel so bad about this phantom EB2 agenda, how about doing something constructive through IV.
I am Eb3 Mar 2004 and I am planning to wait until the Oct dates before making any decision.
But there is a deeper problem that I see.
IV had been extremely instrumental in making the immigration issue heard outside our community and taking it to the ears of the people making decisions.
Now, IV, from what I am hearing and am seeing (by openly not supporting the Eb3-I agenda (pappu making comments about what is wrong with the EB3 word petition)
is interested in pushing the Eb2 agenda only.
The core team explanation that Eb2 rollover nos are provided to EB3 and that is why they cannot help it, is baseless.
If everything in the past was to happen as per the process, there would be no IV at all.
Also, in the recent past, EB3 was available when Eb2 was Unavailable, so the rollover argument is wrong.
Now, if IV is definite on not providing support to the EB3 community, it is time to rethink.
I do not have a good feeling about the EB3 to EB2 conversion (it is basically going into unknown territory).

It is contradicting because you are applying Louisiana Senate Law's and Robert's Rule which is a guide to conduct a board meeting to United States Senate. All three are three different things !!!! Order to lie on the table in the language of United State Senate means "A Negative Position" by the majority.
In any case I agree with what Logiclife has said about these amendments.
I am confused. it is very contradicting.

Only god knows what processes, rules and regulations they follow. I am glad that i am maintaining H1B status with my I-485 and never used EAD.
Its just so disturbing that you are at the mercy of USCIS who didn't know anything about how to look and process the application.
when you use AC21 it means you used EAD right ?
How can you use AC21 and still be on H1 ? could you give us more info on this pls.

Reallocation of Immigrant Visa Numbers
Immigrant visa quotas would be substantially realigned under S. 1348. Our current law provides for a baseline annual quota of 140,000 immigrant visas for foreign nationals immigrating on the basis of employment. In the past several years, a backlog has developed in several employment-based immigrant categories, with multiyear waits for some prospective immigrant workers. The Senate bill would, in the first five years after enactment, increase the quota for merit-based and employment-based cases, in part to address existing backlogs. An estimated 247,000 numbers would be available for work-related immigration. Beginning in the sixth fiscal year after enactment, however, the quota would drop to 140,000 numbers per year. This level would remain in place for at least two years, until approximately the eighth year after enactment, when the quota would rise to a baseline of 380,000 per year, with additional numbers made available for previously undocumented immigrants who become eligible to apply for permanent residence.
Is the interpretation of current Bill (without amendment) is correct for the work related immigration?
This looks like good news. This says work related immigration would get 247000 instead of 90000. Who is misinterpreting the bill?

never worked for "employer x" after H1 transfer, perhaps you are out of status. What is your lawyer saying? You never transferred H1 back to emplyer#2?
I do not think this is the case with OP, given that I quote, Employer X offiered me a job and sponsored my H1B and got it approved too". I guess this is a new H1B filing rather than a transfer from Employer #2 to Employer X. if this is a transfer, OP is in trouble as you suggested and the employment from transfer approval date till now will be considered "unauthorized work".
could you confirm whether Employer X thing is a transfer or fresh filing?
