We've received information that Congressman John Shadegg of Arizona's 3rd District (http://johnshadegg.house.gov/) has introduced SKIL bill in the house and it has 10 Republican Co-Sponsors.
John Shadegg (R-AZ)
John Campbell (R-CA)
K. Michael Conaway (R-TX)
John T. Doolittle (R-CA)
Jeff Flake (R-AZ)
Peter Hoekstra (R-MI)
Michael McCaul (R-TX)
Mike Pence (R-IN)
John Shimkus (R-IL)
Todd Tiahrt (R-KS)
SKIL bill is the same bill that was originally introduced at the begining of this year by Senator John Cornyn of Texas (http://cornyn.senate.gov/). SKIL was also merged into the Senate version of CIR thru last minute Manager's amendment. And yes, SKIL does have 485 filing provision during retrogression.
SKILL BILL's text can be found here : Text from Sen Cornyn's site (http://cornyn.senate.gov/doc_archive/05-02-2006_SKIL%20section%20by%20section%20_5-1_.pdf)
We hope to see this bill pass the House. It may have to jump a few hoops though. In order to bypass the House Judiciary committee it has to be introduced on the house floor and House Republican Leadership can do that. Its a strong possibility given the 10 co-sponsors.
However, it seems that some legislators are realizing that the reform in legal immigration to reduce backlogs is neccesary and overdue and would have to precede CIR if CIR is going to be stalled.
We will update this thread with more information when we know more.

I think they misplaced AC-21 application and also they missed NOID step. This is basically two mishaps.
Good luck.
Exactly the point that leads me to believe this:
ARE THEY SENDING EVERYTHING TO THE OLD LAWYER???
If they never updated the lawyer info....(AC21 papers being lost is not unusual at all, it happens commonly, as there is no set form for it, mail room does not know what to do with it and so it gets misplaced). However, even if they did not have AC21 info, they would have sent an RFE or at least NOID. All these could be LOST if they went to OLD attorney.
So Infopass is a good idea. To at least get this info and also to get the actual denial notice which may have to to the old attorney as well (to see on what grounds they denied it so you can file MTR accordingly).
Of course, a good attorney is a must.
All in all, I think, it should be ok at the end of the day (just a painful waiting period full of uncertainty) unless they revoked it based on some misrepresentation.
Good Luck.

Look at tax rate in this PDF
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040nre.pdf
I believe that you will contribute about 5K to 401 K and if your employer also makes a contribution then that should take care of taxes. I guess the tax rate is roughly 10-15% as a non resident for low amount of money. I agree that patriot act may not allow you to keep accounts but 401 K is not a current account with easy access to funds.

cloture vote on CIR just started
only 30 or so No votes (I counted 26 then a splattering of NOs here and there came in later), lots of Aye's. Looks like atleast Cloture will pass. There is still one more Cloture vote to go on thursday then the final vote. Hope it stumbles going forward, its looking bad right now (meaning there is support for his bill)

Do we need to write A# on back of the Passport Photos??? I missed to write.
Yes. You need to write name and A# behind the photos with a soft tipped pencil as per USCIS instructions.

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....

One thing I wish to add is that we must develop a good way of sending out many letters at will/as per the strategy of IV core to the lawmakers at critical times. We are 23K strong. Surely we can get atleast as many letters sent in to lawmakers at critical times. If you can't send a written petition to a lawmaker then I doubt it makes any sense to even think you or anyone can alter your fate, in that case time spent on sites like this is for what reason?
Professional organizations do letter campaigns all the time and get a good response. If everyone moves on these issues it does create a splash and can bring visibility and attention.
All ideas should be collected here in this thread.

Alterego:
Thanks for your feedback, we are mindful of this issue.
Studies regarding what is the most effective way to communicate with lawmakers have shown that writing mail is not one of the best way. Face to face meeting is always the best option. If not in DC, we can always do that in our local districts.

I wonder at what point of time this "three years of U.S. work experience" applies from. Is it that you should have 3 yrs exp when you applied for labor or is it when you apply for 485??
3 years experience period. It is an add on to the point system, if at all the amendment passes. At that point, there would not be any of the labor-140-485 process. You will be exempt from visa numbers, who knows what that system would be.

of course they will accept them
and they will accept your 485 and AP and EAD...
as long as they can cash the checks.
the law has not changed, no one can presume what will happen
it's just that we are the fools in this, spending thousands of dollars without any choice in the matter, and then in one sweep all of it will be laid waste and we will be starting again...
what's more, for the indians among us, with the merit system, when with 90 points on board you will have no assurance of ever getting a green card.
what a alife :-) :-( yeah both, i can't decide!!

I got 2 positive responses from orkut members in DC.
One said Oh ok, I will.. so this person didn't even know about it until after seeing the scrap.
Yes I posted scraps on individual members' scrapbooks, not just community posts.
I suggest if you are on orkut, scrap any and every one in DC communities, if a lot of people ask them to come, they will know how important it is!!
Great idea! Why don't you start a thread on using ORKUT? It would be helpful!

Can someone confirm if you can maintain accounts in the US after you leave. That sounds very dumb. I want US to keep my money and they don't want it?
I understand that after Patriot Act you can't open accounts in US without SSN but I think you should be able to keep your account because that SSN is assigned to you forever.

I am not sure about effect of patriot act, but some of my friends who left in 2002 era still have accounts here. Another friend left for Banglore but his 401K is still here.

Well, If you sign up for IV credit card, the contributor is not paying from his pocket. It's the bank, who is paying for him, and contributor will keep earning miles/reward point as with any other credit card so it should make ZERO difference for card holder.
Its like finding a advertising sponsor for any of the IV event,except this is one time effort.
the earning could be huge. lets do simple math.
Average CC monthly bill = $1000 , 2% of $1000= $20.
20 * 20k = 40K monthly contribution.
Now think how hard is it to raise 40K monthly using our regular fund raising ?
Basic problem with fund raising is, once person gets his EAD/GC , he stops visiting IV website, I am sure he/she still supports the cause by heart but it just happens that he does not visit this site and does not notice our fund raising drive ( and as a result, we call them selfish :p) .
But if he is carrying IV credit card , its very easy for him to pick up that CC and swipe every time he makes purchase and support the cause.
Hope you get an idea :).
-Naushit.
The subject line sums it up!
Once folks get past this hurdle, they will realize the need to get together and lobby for a change, and that we need to do it ASAP!
The IV credit card should be on top of your own contribution... there are no two ways about this... if you got an EAD after the July 2007 fiasco, you owe it to IV.
Now pay a portion of your newly gained benefits to IV to make sure you can gain more benefits, e.g. how about saving on your EAD renewal fees for 5 out of the next 10 years!
