Don't want to pick on anyone one or anything.. just case-in-point to what I posted earlier.. here we have intense legal debates, and legal opinions with people who can not distinguish between Title VII and EEO which are legislative laws and between the constitution. These laws are not part of the constitution and they include provisions for federal and local governments and their agencies to override parts of rules if they deem necessary.
Again you are plain wrong. If a non-US citizen buys house in the US then does he have the right to own the house and live as he wants? The answer is YES.
Similarly, the US Constitution protects certain rights of non-US citizens who are in the US. One of them is right to the Equal Opportunity Employment. Now if a law is passed such that it intentionally or unintentionally goes against the right of the US citizens or non-US citizens, employed in the lands of the US, to Equal Opportunity Employment then YES the US courts can rule that the law is unconstitutional and hence no longer applies.
The Key Point: Equal opportunity employement advancement is protected by Constitution ("Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)") and hence the Supreme Court can overturn the per country quota limitation if the Supreme Court finds that the per country quota leads to discrimination at employment, which is unconstitutional.
Unfortunately, I agree with you, this thread is going no where. It will go on for 10+ pages and then die. I have seen may be 5 such threads on immigrationvoice and .

Akhil, Chandu thanks for the support. It's heartening to see it coming from other state chapter leaders for our efforts.
Offline work is on to compile data gathered before, during and after the meet. Some of the Meeting action points (easier) will be implemented soon. The rest will also see a forward movement.
Work is on to determine how to include members who couldn't participate personally, yet conveyed support and/or willingness to participate in our future activities - during the call, and/or through E-mails. We want to include everyone interested in our future activities. We also appreciate any other form of real tangible support coming from non-attendees agreeing to our cause and chapter activities. This will be crucial as we get into future activities, SOON!

I was sick rest of the day.
I hesitate every day in doing things that help them. So far I have taken temporary decisions to continue.
It is mentally very draining!
I totally understand what you are going through, been there myself! Don't mind those people, keep going and do this for YOURSELF! Yes, many people will benefit from our struggle without having moved a finger, that is sad but that always happens, in every struggle, in every issue. There are other very sad things such as the visa lottery, or the 1985 amnesty which saw thousands of people from overseas come to abuse that even if they didn't qualify, and all those people got a free ride! But you know what? They are there and they won't go away. It is our choice to stay and not go away, and we have to fight for that. Together, we are friends and family at IV. That was evident at the rally! Times may get trying at times, but we'll keep going and succeed!

I have been thinking about whether to attend the rally or not from past few weeks. Attending the rally would require me to take a day off. Finally today without thinking twice I just went to my manager asked if I can take day off on 9/18 instead compensate the work in the following saturday. It was approved and I am attending the rally on 9/18!
I am feeling so good now.
Also, I live in DC area and can help if somebody needs to be picked from airport to the rally and drop them back if needed.
Hope to see thousands on 9/18th...
ALL THE BEST TO OUR CAUSE!
Regards.

All,
I have recently applied for my H1 extension and have recieved the reciept. My current H1 is about to expire.
Can I apply for AP. (Assuming USCIS looks at my AP application before my H1 extension is approved)
Anyone who has successfully done the same, please suggest.
Thanks.

If an H1 gets layed off, how soon must he leave before he is considered illegal status? And for practical purposes, does it matter (ie, is it ever enforced)? Does having severence extend the period (because you're technically still on payroll)?
Canadian, EB3, in 6th year H1, PD nov 04, 140 approved 2/07.
I got different explanations on this from different people and this is my understanding after reading different lawyer/employer opinions and after having gone thru one lay-off:
Technically you have to leave immediately. I am not sure if there is a clear law but lawyers suggest that we have to leave as soon as it is practical. INS/USCIS may be lenient if the time gap after job loss is very short (something like couple weeks). Many people quote a 30 day grace period after losing the job and I asked many lawyers � everyone said that there is no 30 grace period but they also told me that USCIS may be lenient if its less than 30 days and if we can give some reasonable explanation (if and when questions arise at the time of later 485 filing/approving). Does it ever enforced � not sure but its better to be on the cautious side. Severence period does not extend the period. The day we stopped going to office (stopped providing service to employer) is our final day.
Since you are a Canadian you can apply for a visitor visa (B1) � by applying the visa we will be in legal status until a decision is taken. B1 visa is generally approved if you give the reason of finishing up matters in US (like selling house/cars/closing bank accounts/credit accounts etc). I guess you are asking just to be informed but if it really happens another option for you is TN1 � if you have not yet applied for 485.

Well...I am one of us stuck in EB3. I do qualify for EB2 but my employer choose to file it under EB3. I recently invoked AC21 and moved over to a new employer on my EAD. Is there a way I can ask my new employer if they can file new I140 under EB2 and change my category to EB2?
Is it possible to file I-485 again (with older PD) after switching to new employer? Does AC21 rule allow this?

In the scenario presented above, or where USCIS erroneously issued a GC when PD is not current, the obligation on the GC applicant's part is to report the error for appropriate resolution by USCIS. Even if the GC applicant (like my best friend who got his GC in 2008) is not aware of the detailed process, and is not tracking RD, PD, ND, the applicant still has an attorney who is representing the applicant. Also, filing the I-485, doesn't automatically guarantee the issuance of a GC (eg of withdrawing $100, expecting to get $100 but getting more than that amount - comparison is not apples to apples when talking about expecting GC after you file I-485).
In the end, when these situations occur it boils down to doing what is ethically and legally appropriate, within an appropriate response time frame.
-Nola
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 did not know your case particularly but many people like you I know got their I140 cleared and filing I485 now after PD is moved. Still skill bill also does not have anything for persons like you that is you have to wait for your labor cleared. Any bill gives solutions for the persons like you or any lobbying going on? As for as I know no lobbying for these cases like these. Only thing we can do is request BEC to process fast by allocating more funds
First of all, it is not "my" case. I have been waiting in line for my green card for the past 5 years with my labor stuck in BEC. So, under the current CIR draft, I will be one of the biggest losers as I have not filed for my I-140 and so, my whole application will go down the drain after 5 years of time, money, energy and emotional stress.
How do you come with a math where I will be able to get a GC immediately after 5 years if I apply under the points system? Did you even read the draft bill? How will I or anybody else for that matter, manage for next 5 years without a GC when they are squeezing out the H1B (fee increase, removal of dual intent etc)?? Next would be the per country hard quota that will put us in an eternally long line.
I would definitely compare the current mess of a EB based system with the untested point system and take the current system any time as it is a known devil. The merit system is no angel either. Atleast in the current system, if I wait long enough, I know that my turn will come.
How do you know that process delay would be minimal? USCIS's current delay is not because of process, it is because of the sheer volume of applications and lack of man power. The PERM system takes one month. If you pay premium processing, it takes them 15 days to clear your I-140. So, where is the delay in process? All the delay is from the past backlogs which this bill fails to address and at the I-485 stage where they have to do background checks. That will exist in the points system as well. After you discover the problems in the point system, what will you do then? Ask for another CIR bill??
You don't have to tell what "my" case is. I live my case...
