according to you, it means he is really disappointing or annoying to just read one bill and conclude everything....

Are you kidding me with your posts? I can't decide whether to feel sorry for you or get angry with you. But I guess, I will move on since you obviously have issues to deal with...green card should be the least of your priorities!
My "bummer" post was specifically in response to WAIT_FOR_EVER_GC and whitecollarslave's posts about Masters in STEM. I read all the three bills and I stand by my statement that Masters in STEM are exempt ONLY from the H-1B cap; not the EB cap. (line 14 on page 2 of H.R. 5630 (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&docid=f:h5630ih.txt.pdf).) It is only the PhDs who are exempt from the EB cap.
Before you start throwing "smart alecky" comments at others, please let me know where it explicitly says otherwise. Don't show me anything about PhDs; ONLY Masters and EB caps.
I (and probably others too) thought this was the STEM bill being reintroduced which deals with EB caps. But it is not, hence the disappointment.

P.S.: I know you are going to be back to read this thread. So a lack of response from you will be sufficient for me to have proven my case. But an apology for casting aspersions wouldn't hurt......naah, just kidding! :-) You have a lot of growing up to do, so run along.

USCIS officially released the information that total I-485 applications which were related to July VB fiasco before August 16, 2007 were 320,000. During the period, the USCIS received 400,000 anxillary applications (EAD and AP), and substantial number of concurrent I-140 petitions. All of these figures added upto 800,000. For the USCIS verification of this information, please Q&A between the USCIS and AILA as part of the Community Relations meeting on September 25, 2007. This has been made available today.

Good to see "good news." It will take many many years for our dates to become current if there is no change in the law. So yes, it appears like some positive news, but without law being changed we are screwed anyway.

Major flaw in your analogy is you failed to imply that only USCIS can produce TVs worldwide and it can produce only 140k of them for worldwide customers. Also they can only produce 7% of 140k for each country to fit each country's specifications. They sure will have customers, doesn't matter if their customer service sucks. Simple supply and demand theory.
Hello Folks,
I am on H1-B since Aug2009 and last year I transferred around 40K USD to parents. All these transfers were spread over the year in the denominations of 5K per transaction.(As and when I saved money).
My question is, do I have to pay taxes in US on this money transferred to India. I know that my parents don't have to but I am not sure about myself.
Any pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks,
Good job with savings:D
No, you have already paid tax on it. I've been here since 2004 and have sent 12.5K USD to India and never paid tax.

Why do you guys have such a hard time believing....
Law says what it says
Visa bulletin has the notce
Berkleybee isn't saying anything in that conversation with DOS which isn't already covered by the law or the note in 2005 visa bulletin.
Still; everyone is thinking it is a mistake and it is going to get current in 3 to 4months?
The cynic in me believes that everyone thinks it is just a matter of time before it becomes current or there is significant movements in dates. This is dead wrong. All one needs to do is look at data coming out from backlog processing centers; amount of 245i labors; statistics on how many people have come on h-1b; l-1's, b visas, f visas, amont of perm labor approvals; amount of greencards approved over the last five years.
It is going to be a very, very long time before there is significant movement in dates.
The cynic in me thinks Berkleybee posted it in immigration.com so that people may now get the message the dates aren't going to move. They aren't going to move significantly next year either. There is TOO many people going for greencards.
As long as people think that the dates are going to move, then they sit on the fence and don't do much to get rid of retrogression.
I am sure if people could get convinced that in current environment; visa dates will never get current then people may have some urgency in participating to get rid of retrogression.
UN,
I have strong belief on your postings. Don�t know about Berkleybee�
I am from India EB3. I strongly believe that we can change this system, after all it is human made, outdated and obviously not suitable for current scenario.
So realistically what we can do about this, if so what would be the approach.

The only thing USCIS can do without regulation...is issue Public Notice
How funny, right?
or take back one of their Public Notices....the ony thing they can do, is take back the Public Notice - that 485's will be rejected.....

Guys,
Its quite a gathering out here who have shown some interest or support for the Green card issue for the PhDs. I see numbers increasing slowly. I am networking and try to get more PhDs involved and become aware of the PACE Bill. Friends from many universities are contemplating the line of action to get a change in the language as well as to include the current PhD students/PhD holders in getting benefits from the bill.
I and my friends have drafted a letter and will be sending to our senator (Allen Specter) very soon. It will be great if many more enthusiasts come out and show their support / give their suggestions openly.
So lets keep it rolling.

Got the receipt numbers already, was worried about the physical receipt notice.
"Physical receipt notice" is not necessary. As long as you have the receipt numbers, it is fine.

The approval of h1 will not invalidate H4 visa. The usage of h1 visa invalidates H4 visa.
if you have h1 approved and don't join the company, then your h4 remains intact. Once you join a company on h1, you will fill out i-9 form, which informs the concerend authorities about your status change.
tabletpc,
Look at tv25's post. He/She alreday used the H1B...tv25 mentioned that she/he worked on H1B for three months. That would have invalidated her h4 visa.
tv25 shouldn't have entered using H4 visa that got invalidated as soon as the H1B was used.
This is a serious issue and as all others are saying, tv25 needs to contact an expert immigration lawyer.
thanks

Based on the response to the rallies and the funds drive there are very few contributing memebers .Shall we restict the site for a one time registartion fee .So that people wont create memberIds on the fly ?
A token amount of 20 bucks one time registartion works good

Given a choice (with comparable role and growth) I will be more inclined to spend few years (~5) in Europe, post MBA.
Was just trying to make sure if there was a easier way to maintain my GC, at the same time complete my studies in parallel.
Per all your suggestions, there are ways to walk that tightrope, but its not very straight forward...Also I am not looking into deferring my studies for a year..
Will go ahead with resignation...
Thanks again for all sincere advise and wishes.
Regards
Good luck! All the best.

I just received an email from USCIS that my wife's EAD has been approved.
RD 07/02, FP 09/04, PD 05/06
Is approved the same as "card ordered"? Do you see a different LUD than the card ordered LUD?

namm80,
Just curious, when were your applications originally sent. Also are you EB3 or EB2 and country????
I am in similar situation. Originally applied to NSC, got Xfr'd to CSC. Now CSC after processing EAD/AP Xfr'd my I-485 back to NSC.
ANyone in similar situation has rcvd Finger printing notices? I assume Aug 17th filers at NSC are ahead of us?
Also, i received the EADs in mail, but haven't received the AP even though online status reads AP mailed a week back. Any idea how long it takes to get AP after it online status reads approved?
Please share any information.

--That ought to suck every bit of sanity left! I know "should have..would have..." doesn't matter anymore but I am curious why you did not opt to do labor substitution in june-july period. You should have had a crack at it.
I know people on h1 with consulting companies did better than those who got stuck with one permanent job.Stale career , stale pay and so on...
Do your best and make most of h1b.
Switched from one FTE to another FTE where I was probably the only H1B FTE working with a bunch of contractors and company would not file labor until first appraisal was done i.e. 3 months. By the time the slow-arse attorney completed the PERM requirements it was already September end. It's just frickin crazy,I know, stupidity on my part too in changing jobs. But opportunity knocks on the door once and was not unfortunately in sync with the idiosyncrasies of CIS and DOS. Hindsight is always 20/20 and no point whining. But having to constantly look at the lucky guys makes me say "Kick the H1Bs out; they took my greencard" :D

There were about 600,000 AOS applications including the July and August filers. So that number less 60,000...roughly about 540,000 applications still pending with USCIS....
And 540000 @ 140000 per year is approx. 4 years!
Going by PD, 2001-2003 may get their GC by Dec 2008
PD 2003-2005 by March 2010
PD 2005-2007 by Sep 2011
Again, my assumption is even distribution which is not a reality. Every year, last quarter would be busy as USCIS would try to use up all the VISA numbers for FY and during that period it could be open for all atleast for 3-4 years; like June 2008 they may make it current for PD 2005 and June 2009 for PD 2007 .... And, come October dates would retrogress.
