That is good idea to keep H1B status as much as possible. Use EAD when u have to use it.

Below is my question, please find some time to respond
I currently working on H1 for the last 5 years.
I am a July 2007 I-485 filer and have my I-140 approved.
From what I read from the above thread -
1. Does it make sense to fill an I-9 form with the same employer and start working on EAD, instead of burning my remaining period in H1?
2. That way even if for some reason my I-485 gets rejected, I can continue working by switching to H1?
Thoughts....

Hello jsb,
Yes, I guess I went through that scrutiny when I submitted the employment letter and payslips and W-2 last month...the IO had told me that he had employment letter from 2007 so he would like a current one and he wanted my tax details compared to W-2 to see if there was any other income apart from my job income.
Time will tell... :)

I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...
The name says exactly what we are doing. I think it is right the way it is.

I think we physically need to go to the adjudication center...wait at the gate do a bhuk hartaal or the sort to get our cases cleared.
I am pretty positive that SR/Infopass/Congressman/Senator are coincidences....it should not work all the time otherwise you and I would have been approved too...
I am told different things everytime I call them .....
It is hopeless since I am sure the October bulletin will put the EB-2I for November to U or early 2000s as there are hardly any visa numbers per the country cap quota...and then you need to wait till Sept 2010 for any luck.....

It is good idea. I discussed this my lawyer and according to him, nowadays USCIS is very strict about it and trying to match the requirements of EB2 against the candidate's credentials. If it perfectly matches only they will approve. It will be an option for those guys with EB3 with PD past 2005 and with enough EB2 credentials, primarily a masters degree and if it from US, then great.
Please do not go into this option just by stating that I have 100 years experience with such and such company. I will say, if your are a masters degree holder (from US the best) and is employed with a major employer for more than 3-5 years, then only attempt this. Do not try it if you are employed with some Desi company. This is harm both the candidate and the employer.
My two cents worth!!!

You can expect it anytime. The retention period is 7 years, so keep all your tax filing papers and all related docs for at least 7 years.
I think it is three years not seven!!!

HOUSTON: A federal jury has found five people guilty of conspiring to obtain fraudulent work visas for nearly 90 Indian nationals in exchange for at
least $20,000 per visa, the US Attorney's Office said.
Mahendrakumar "Mack" Patel, 55, Rakesh Patel, 36, Alberto Pena, 38, Bernardo Pena, 38, and Marte Othon Villar Sr, 48, encouraged and induced the illegal immigration of Indian nationals in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars per visa, a statement from the US Attorney's Office said yesterday.
The jury found that Alberto and Bernardo Pena, twin brothers from Brownsville, along with co-defendants had encouraged and induced 87 individuals from Gujarat to unlawfully enter US on temporary H-2B visas, knowing that the Indian nationals did not intend to work for the company that was used to get visas for them.
The brothers also knew that the visa-seekers did not intend to return to India when their 10-month visas expired, a statement said.
Pena twins also travelled to India to assist the Indian nationals with the application process and visited and corresponded with the US Consulate in Mumbai.
Two other co-defendants -- Mack Patel of Ft Worth and Rakesh Patel, a Houston pharmacist -- pleaded guilty for recruiting Indian citizens who were willing to pay $20,000 to $60,000 in exchange for visas to enter the United States

We should put end to Lou's lies. Let's be creative. We thought of the flower campaign, we all have higher degrees. There should be a way how to stop this guy. I think we are the only ones who can do it.
By the way, Lou's ancestors came to USA also legally like us. What is the difference then? Really the only people who have the right to criticize the legal immigration to USA are the native Americans. I know that this argument would never success with the general public here but I believe it's true.

Priceless!
Speechless!
Such attitude is Worthless! How confident should we be that they will stick to the message and not go of on tangent in the meeting? It may be better off not to have them.
If people believe a cause is worthwhile and will benefit them, they will come - and registering will not be an issue for them.
If people don't want to do the heavy lifting, they will give any excuse - including registering as the detractor to join the cause. The change has to come from within and cannot be forced. You can talk to a person who has a question on what needs to be done during the advocacy days, you can talk to a person who has doubts - if he/she can be reasoned with, but you are wasting time with people who have no intention of participating to begin with!

"This is truly landmark legislation produced by a big-league team," said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee that wrote the legislation.
"The next step is going to be the conference (with the House) and I believe we can do it," Specter said. "We're going to work as hard to get a bill to the president's desk as we did to get a bill passed today. And I predict success."

Contacting the indian Ambassador..that is something new..how can we contact him or how do we drag his attention....
also those 140 processing times do not make any sense..a friend of mine got his 140 approved today..which was filed in Sep 07 under EB2 ..
Let Indian ambassador fix the Indian consulates in US first. Service and courtesy at Indian consulates in US is so pathetic. USCIS is far better compared to Indian consulates.

My wife worked as a full time employee and resigned after the delivery from Oct'08. She was paid the sick pay through a third party insurance and these wages are missing in the W-2. I tried contacting her employer and also wrote emails saying I would complain to IRS if they fail to provide a corrected W2. Today is 02/14 and we still didn't receive a new W2 for the sick pay or a corrected W2.
1) What consequences the employer would have to face if they fail to report correct wages on W2?
2) Does IRS is concerned about missing wages that are 1-2K?
3) Do you think I should complain to IRS?
I am planning to lodge an official complaint on Monday 02/16. I suppose it was a deadline date for all employers to provide W2 or a corrected one.
Due diligence
Send a Certified email with receipt /delivery acknowledgment to the employer with your request. Prepare a proper trail of documentation. If the employer does not relent, report the same to IRS after consultation with a tax consultant.

Guys, what about July 2007 filer. I filed my 485 then without my wife's name as she somehow could not join me then. I am hoping that as soon as my dates are current, I'll immediately file my wife's 485 on the first day of the month. Hopefully that should include her in my app before its approved.
Am I thinking right?
