Though I EB2 but I support this and hence I am in...at least I willing to contribute to this effort.

Thanks for posting a very relevant question, I am in a very similar situation, my labour has not yet been approved (was applied in July 09'), i think 2010 is a defining year of immigration drain.
The EB backlog is out of control now....eventually people will realize and take the necessary
decision of leaving US.

I guess it depends on how powerful and influential the congressmen are and whether they are on the immigration or finance committee :)
Caliguy,
why does congressman/senatorial inquiry works for some and not for some. What can we do differently. I sent out a "Thanks...but no thanks" email back to Congressman's office.

Medical Examination is going to be really bad once more. It is going to be a long queue. Keep on trying by calling the doctors and do not rely near by doctors. If you are in near by MA I suggest you Dr. Sanjeev Sharma really a great and reliable doctor we can trust. Where are you by the way????

I don't think it is true. My lawyer said using AP will not invalidate H1B.
I have seen many people saying they came through AP and extended H1B , some even 3 times.
Anyway, I am travelling outside and planning to use my AP while coming back. I will post a message if I come through H1B
Thanks Buddy !! PM me when you come back plz.

Just a quick question:
My employer had legal dept and lawer filed G28 form for me when applied for I-485. Do we really need to hire a lawyer to represent us? I am planning to move to client under similar job description this month end and would like to see if I have to file AC21 and change the lawer representation.
I appreciate any response.
you can change lawyers, you cna also revoke the G28 to make it self representation. Its not a bad idea to do self-representation because:
- EAD/AP renewal is straightforward and you cna file it yourself.
- if you ar elucky you will get GC straightaway.
- if you get an RFE, then depending on how messy hte RFE is, you can decide on a lawyer.

It is true that the community colleges(A) and Arizona board of regents(B) set the guidelines but they have to follow Arizona Statutes which state that people with lawful immigration status are entitled to instate tuition. Therefore if (A) and (B) are not on the same page one could raise questions.
I am providing below the statutes as well as what the Arizona Board of Regents say. It appears that the Board of Regents do not provide clarity on the issue. I think one could force the issue and demand that they be given instate tuition as provided by the Arizona statutes and Board of Regents Interpretation.
In fact GC Card Dream should file an appeal to the Board of Regents as provided in their policy. Adding that community colleges allow H-1B's to avail of instate tuition would help get a decision in your favor.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the Arizona law for instate tuition -
Here is the link to all the statutes -
http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp?Title=15
Go to chapter 14 to see statutes for education -
The applicable statutes are -
15-1803. Alien in-state student status
.....................
B. In accordance with the illegal immigration reform and immigrant responsibility act of 1996 (P.L. 104-208; 110 stat. 3009), a person who was not a citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state student pursuant to section 15-1802 or entitled to classification as a county resident pursuant to section 15-1802.01.
........................
15-1805. Student status guidelines
A. The Arizona board of regents shall adopt guidelines applicable to all institutions under their jurisdiction that will ensure uniform criteria to aid the institutions in determining the tuition status of any student and that will establish uniform procedures for review of that status.
B. Community college districts shall adopt policies applicable to all institutions under their jurisdiction that will ensure uniform criteria to aid the institutions in determining the tuition status of any student and that will establish uniform procedures for review of that status.

What is the resident status of immigrants, refugees and international students?
A noncitizen with a visa that prohibits establishing a domicile in Arizona during any portion of the durational period may not be granted resident status. Other noncitizens may qualify for resident status by meeting all requirements for residency outlined previously, or having been granted refugee status and meeting all other requirements for domicile.
---The above should be read with the definition of domicile in the statutes
15-1801. Definitions
In this article, unless the context otherwise requires:
....
3. "Domicile" means a person's true, fixed and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where he intends to remain and to which he expects to return when he leaves without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere.

As required by A.R.S. �15-1803, a person who is not a citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state resident.
I don't think the state is involved, but its the institution that makes its own set of rules. All the community colleges in the state of Arizona accepts both H and L status as proof of residency.

tattoo miscarried at 12 weeks and my
American Dream suspended on the eve of American Independence
For aspiring immigrants ,4th of July is not just a holiday and fireworks but a promise of all good things that are American , which comes to those who follow the law , live by her rules and wait patiently for their turn to be called Americans.
Patience is not just a virtue but a way of life for thousands of Legal immigrants who have been living in the US for a number of years . Besides the everyday stress of Job,Mortgage,Health and education of their children they live with the added suspense of when their application for permanent residency ,commonly
referred as "Green card" will move ahead from its deep slumber.
To apply for a employment based "Green Card" , a employed worker's company needs to fulfill the
requirements of the DOS/USCIS and the date the application is received by the department is referred to as the "priority Date". A movement of a month keeps the hopes and spirits high of the applicants and their families and a couple of months is sheer joy. In 2004 there was a negative trend of retrogression of
the applications in queue and the dates moved back instead of moving front. It implied a waiting period of a couple of years at the minimum. So midway of the application process everything stalled, all eyes turned towards the senate and the house hoping they would mediate and provide respite to this broken situation. Nothing happened and so we waited for the much anticipated CIR as it was told to us that a comprehensive immigration reform will address the situation of the legal immigrants also besides its main agenda to solve the issue of illegal immigrants in this country.
The CIR died , then mid June the USCIS came up with a bulletin announcing that it will start accepting applications for adjustment of status for all employment based applicants and their dependents ..From then on it was a scramble to fulfill a long list of requirements to be able to apply on time. The first task was
for my husband to convince his HR to sponsor the process. Since they had already budgeted for the fiscal year and are on a spending freeze , it took a lot of convincing . The HR complied and gratefully we set out to get our Medical exams(at own cost of 150*2).Since we live in a small state with few doctors we
drove 2 hours to a neighboring state to get them on time. Being a mother of 3 small kids, I could not work on important paper works with them around. So after putting them to bed we spent the entire night pulling out the required documents from archives and placing them in order; numerous phone calls to parents
back in India to collect their date of birth, place of birth information and completed the questionnaire. Got passport pictures(60$) and mailed it all to our lawyers praying it will be one of the first to reach the department office on start of business on July 2nd..little did we suspect that this was nothing but adding insult to the injury plan by the honorable DOS.. They had already prepared a rude
shock when they released a bulletin update on July 2nd stating that they will not accept any applications as they had already allocated all the visas for the current fiscal year in a unprecedented action.
This has left thousand of families like us confused, saddened and in the middle of nowhere.
We are raising families here, our everyday life is no different from any other AMERICAN middle class family with same expectations and hopes, so its not easy to presume that we can pull out or get out of this situation and return to our home countries . We still have faith in the constitution and the spirit of this country and preserve faith that this wrongdoing will be reversed and we will get the opportunity to achieve what we have waited for years in a long queue, abiding by the law and fulfilling all requirements to the
tee..
On the eve of America�s independence let justice prevail and urge the congress and the STATE department to undo this monstrous decision of USCIS ..
God bless America.

Hello,
I am sure others might have noticed that 485 processing dates at NSC (for example) have literally crawled from the beginning of the year to now. Here are the processing dates (per USCIS status).
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
12/15/2007 Status - 04/24/2007
01/15/2008 - 07/19/2007
06/15/2008 - 07/28/2007
Thats roughly 9/10 days worth of 485 processing from mid-Jan to mid-Jun 2008. I wonder what the processing date looks like for the mid-July status update (which should probably be out tomorrow).

girlfriend week the developing aby,
Lou Dobbs is a xenophobiac and doesn't listen no matter what argument you put in front of him.He is single mindedly focussed on opposing immigrants , be it legal or illegal.He just wants to project himself as a champion for the causes of American middle class, totally ignoring the contribution immigrants have made to build this country.Let that bugger speak , we will also protest & put our point of view in the right way & at the right forum.

Are you sure? Cause I did work with them, no one imagined the crisis of real estate was going to be soooo steep and also no one imagined that my i-485 was going to be approved so fast.
I can proof I worked with them from 2002-2006 (4 years). They gave me a letter saying they still not able to get me a job, i did have intent to work with them.
That is the point. It was not of your own volition.
Also, there is no rule that says citizenship is not available to people who do not work for the sponsoring employer for a certai nperiod of time after GC approval. It is just good practice to stick around for a few months after approval, but it is not law.
You will have no trouble. Change your status from bittersweet to sweet and have fun. Also, good luck finding a new job.
