I cannot help but point out a flaw in your case: You say that your technical skills is a common one. Yet you don't seem to have an issue that you have applied in EB2 - exceptional ability / advanced degree. At this time, you are likely holding a H1B status - a speciality occupation visa. Something does not add up now, does it?.
However, I'm with you on wanting to stop L1 visa abuse (and H1 visa abuse as well). There needs to be a more definitive way of knowing L1 visa is being misused to replace US citizens and green-card workers.
Hope any one can qualify for EB2 with a advanced degree / 5 years experience IF the job requirements need the same, my comment regarding the 'common technical' skills was in the context of technical skills available in the market here is US and the way USCIS/consulate considers these technical skills. Java/.Net/Oracle or any of these technical skills doesn't qualify for a L-1B visa irrespective of the no. of years of experience, for Eg. a resource with 10 Years of Java experience may qualify for EB2 (once again, as per job requirement for PERM) BUT WILL NEVER qualify for L-1B visa.
Hope this cleared your doubt and definetly using L-1B resources for common technical assignments has become a common practice amoung outsourcing companies due to advantages these organisation has (discussed earlier in this thread) and we are fighting against this abusal of L1 visa.

Sending my letters this evening. finished everything moments ago..
friends: This is the time to act. I havent yet used AC21 but god forbid if I have to use it in this economy I dont want to be in this mess.
Sorry for the folks who received denials and hope we come out this together..
Thanks laborchic.
Yes this has the potential to affect everyone - look at today's main news - 240k more jobs are lost and prediction that economy can get much more worse. The last thing we want in these times is another GC/visa related issue at back of our minds. This is the time to act before its too late.

Gandhi once said 'Be the change you want to see in others'
Mr Dobbs is hardly close
1. CNN hires H1b's why does he still work for them?
2. I bet even his 'underw**r' is made elsewhere.
3. Why does he draw 7 digit salary and calls himself savior of middle class?
4. Many of his TV show guest speakers are known anti-immigrants!
Just as Hilter blamed many of Germany's owes on someone else, Mr. Dobbs does it on immigrants.
He has quoted in his book that H1b/L1 visa holders never pay taxes and take money home!
Alas he belongs to the elite in the media and currently too powerful!

How much did you spend for getting this done ? And are you really happy with what this has resulted in to, now all those in computer information manager - lc will get in to trouble, more audits.
Was this really needed?
Which labor will DOL going to audit ? Pending , future or approved ?
If approved and waiting to get approval for I 485 or filling I 485 then it will be big trouble.

In Grassley's home page there is an article captioned "Grassley Works to Eliminate Fraud and Abuse from H-1B Visa Program". http://grassley.senate.gov/news/Article.cfm?customel_dataPageID_1502=20327
There is a very easy but effective method to stop H1B abuses. Just make EB based immigration an integral part of the H1B visa. Meaning, as soon as the employee starts to work on H1B for any employer the below two things should happen:
1. H1B should like an EAD. As soon as your H1B gets approved thru one employer, then the employee should be able to take that same H1B visa and work for another employee in a similar role.
2. The employee's GC clock should start as soon as the H1B starts. After 5 years into H1B with any employer, the GC should come in the mail, with out any additional processing or application required by anybody.
Implement these above things, then H1B abuse will be a thing of the past.

trying to understand your problem?
the goal (and you may have to chew on this a while) of this campaign is not to bend rules. it is to create media attention for our problems.
this may be a catalyst to anything- 485 filing, bridging amendments...who knows?
the point is we have to keep trying. sounds like you want to slink away into your "reality". well, since we are all living in fantasy, friend, please let us enjoy it. thanks for your encouragement btw.

Today we received our welcome notices. The PD on my application is correct but the PD on my wife's application is same as the receipt date. Is this normal for the dependent application?
Our applications were approved based on substitute labor. Our 485 is based on 140 with PD Aug 2006 but we have another substitute labor with PD Nov 2005. When I applied for 140 with PD Aug 2006, I added my wife as dependent. But in the substitute labor I am not sure if my wife was added.
Is there anything to worry or just ignore it?
Thank you
Check with your lawyers. It should be easy to get an amended approval notice or atleast a letter from USCIS that it is okay.

No, we didn't raise a SR after the interview. I was planning on doing it early next week since I had not seen any LUDs since our interview, and then we found a nice surprise this morning. But, if you are wait has been longer, it certainly won't hurt to do it. Good luck in your case too.

Though there are many ways to contact uscis, I don't think that anything will help. I did the first 6 ways as mentioed in link, but nothing helped so far. 7 to 12 are missing. All those inquiries would tell you where you are at, but no method would trigger the IO to take your case and approve it.
It has been almost 60 days since I opened an SR. I'm still under Intial Review. Not even LUD.
Had two infopasses, but no requests submitted thru infopass.
Contacted Senator Carl Levin's Office, the worst office I would say. The lady who looks after immigration does not even care about your need. Just made an inquiry on my behalf and said that it is in "Initial Review", which I knew already. She is not ready to help further.
Contacted uscis several times, but got the same response from all CSRs "WAIT".
I have contacted Ombudsman and submitted 7001. Not sure if they will also only make the inquiry or will really try to find out what is holding my approval
So, I am almost like "gave up" for now. Trying to have the mind-set "God knows when to give me GC"
All of the above methods are only "INQUIRY" AND I don't think that would have helped any one; even it had, it might have been a co-incidence only. I believe that the only thing worked was for 'SeekeofPeace' who contacted Janet Napolitino, because, USCIS called his phone # and gave him the status. I'm might consider that as my last try.

Lou Dobbs Makes Spitzer Nightly Pinata (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/28/AR2007102800694.html) By LARRY McSHANE | The Associated Press, October 28, 2007
NEW YORK -- Lou Dobbs is sorry about calling Gov. Eliot Spitzer an idiot.
Sincerely. As for ripping the New York Democrat as arrogant, spineless and "a spoiled rich kid brat," the host of CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight" stands by those nationally broadcast broadsides.
Absolutely.
Dobbs has made Spitzer an almost daily target over his recent plan to ease restrictions on illegal immigrants seeking New York state driver's licenses, mixing vitriol with sarcasm while endlessly lambasting the governor's decision.
The lifelong Republican has taken on politicians of every stripe, as when he blasted the Bush administration over port security. But his nightly diatribe against Spitzer is notable for its intensity, and for elevating a state proposal onto the national stage.
"What he's doing is an outrageous, arrogant abuse of power," Dobbs said in an interview before a recent show. "He's pandering to a constituency aligned directly against the interests of U.S. and New York state citizens."
Dobbs's ire boiled over Tuesday night when he ripped Spitzer as an idiot _ and then offered an on-air mea culpa.
"I'm the idiot," Dobbs said. "Governor, I apologize for calling you one. Your policies are idiotic. But I have to apologize for calling you an idiot."
Dobbs shouldn't hold his breath waiting for a bouquet of roses (the state flower) and a thank-you note from Spitzer.
"Mr. Dobbs has clearly demonstrated that he is not interested in a real debate on New York's driver's license policy change," said Jennifer Givner, a Spitzer spokeswoman. "He has repeatedly refused to offer balanced coverage of the issue."
Dobbs has turned the first-term governor into a verbal pinata over his September announcement that illegal immigrants with valid foreign passports could obtain a driver's license.
Spitzer has said the plan, set to go into effect this December, would make New York safer by bringing its 1 million illegal immigrants "out of the shadows."
On Saturday, Spitzer cut a deal with the Bush administration that would still allow the state to issue licenses to illegal immigrants _ although the agreement required that their licenses would be clearly marked to indicate they are not valid federal ID.
While advocates on either side of the flap said Spitzer had backed down, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff was still upset by the state's decision to license illegals.
The Spitzer decision reversed a 2002 order by former Gov. George Pataki issued after the 9/11 attacks, and placed Spitzer directly in Dobbs' cable crosshairs. But Dobbs, while perhaps the highest-profile critics of the plan, is not alone: a state poll showed 72 percent of New Yorkers opposed Spitzer on this issue, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has also expressed skepticism.
Spitzer, in a speech last week, noted that "despite the hysteria this policy has created in some circles, it is simply a return to the policy we had for most of our state's history."
Dobbs is hardly swayed by the history lesson, complaining the relaxed license requirement could produce voter fraud and raise security issues. Spitzer has ignored repeated invitations to appear on the program, Dobbs said; the show has turned down guests supporting Spitzer, including former national counterterrorism adviser Richard A. Clarke, according to Givner.
Dobbs, who has made immigration one of his show's centerpiece issues, was criticized this week in a New York Times editorial for his Spitzer bashing.
"Mr. Dobbs has trained his biggest guns on Mr. Spitzer, branding him with puerile epithets like `spoiled rich-kid brat' and depicting his policy as some sort of sanctuary program for the 9/11 hijackers," the Times wrote. "Someday there may be a calm debate, in Albany and nationally, about immigrant drivers.
"With Mr. Dobbs at the megaphone, for now there is only histrionics and outrage."
Dobbs isn't expecting any apology from the Times. And he has few kind words for the newspaper.
"The New York Times is the house organ for Gov. Spitzer," Dobbs said. "They're wrong on this issue, as they are on many others."
Dobbs draws a nightly audience of roughly 800,000, making him second in CNN viewers to Larry King's nightly program. He has no intention of lightening up on Spitzer.
"Why should I?" Dobbs asked. "He's wrong. This issue is of vital importance to the state of New York and the nation. My job as an advocacy journalist is to confront directly abuses of power and wrongheaded politics."
And sure enough, 24 hours after his "idiot" apology, Dobbs was again taking shots at Spitzer.
"This governor is irresponsible," Dobbs told his audience. "It's clear arrogance. ... He has declared himself to be what people hoped he would not be _ and that is an arrogant tool of special interests."

Hope your I485 is fine, please update us if you see any change in status or LUD's on 485. Good luck.

guys, i am now in UK and it's night time but trying to call as many as possible.
also asked friends & family (in US) to start calling.
can someone PLEASE start a email campaign (Yes, a chain letter) to at least the DESI community.
This is a great chance for a BIG step forward and many of you have worked VERY hard (which has motivated me also, else i had lost hope).
God bless!!!
forgot to mention reasoning ---> not everyone checks (or is able to) website every day but they do check email...and we do not have much time left.

I had both a valid visa stamped on my passport and AP. But my wife did not have a stamped visa so I showed her AP and my h1. The immigration inspector said that you both have to use AP to enter. I argued with him a little that I can use my h1 when it is valid but he did not agree and said that I am trying to do a fraud. Well I did not argue much and let him stamp my I 94 with a parole stamp till 01/26/2007. I have now filed for my extension.
I have verified that with my attorney. The officer should not have asked you to enter on AP. You could have entered on H1 or AP and it was up to you. This is a good example of the fact that some immigration officers do not know the rules well. If your H1 is still good, you can leave and re-enter showing H1 and you should be fine.
