Is there anyway we can help the family featured in this thread? Like helping them with funds to hire a good lawyer or something on those lines? Reading all the threads, I am somehow thinking of going for the Indian dream now (Yes, I have the Indian citizenship)!!! 6 years and my wife still does not know if she can live in this country or not!!!

Got the cards in the mail. My online case status says the application is still pending.
Folks (those whose PDs are current this month),
Check with your attorney, in your mail boxes along with the online USCIS case status. You may get the good news in your mail box or from your attorney's office before your status is updated online.
This is what my attorney had to say:
The USCIS online status system is maintained by contract workers and is often inaccurate.
My Online status got updated today. Snail mail is faster than email - happens only with USCIS. Anyways, my journey is over. Good luck to others.

No they wont send receipt notices for correction. They would send receipt only for filings for which you paid fee and new applications
do they normally send a receipt notice for the new 765 application that you file to correct EAD error...?
i.e. if we do not receive a RECEIPT NOTICE in like 2 -3 months- should we follow up by Infopass or Calling 1800 number? OR just wait!!! for 4 months to end and then call and infopass

If I have applied for 485 can I still do that ?
I think you are only supposed to get 1 year extensions if your LC/I-140 was filed atleast 365 days ago, but I have seen atleast two people get 3 year extensions even though they had filed I-485, just because their PD was not current.
Its USCIS discretion or interpretation of their rules. Ask your attorneys to request 3 years when they file.
I am going the other way (just got a 3 year extension approved 2 days before that announcement that dates are current again) and will be filing 485 now.

While it is good idea to move to UK there are similar protests going in UK due to job loss and lot of Work Permits going in favor of Indians. Recently I read an article which says that 18,000 Visas out of 30,000 Visa(High Tech) are granted to Indians.
UK based companies pulled out their operations from India stating the quality of work from Indian operations is very poor.
Adding fuel to fire Mr Mittal relentless aggression to acquire companies is all creating chaos in UK.
My 2 cents

i got it. thanks Xu1
according to your info, can i assume:
out of 360K,
270k belongs to EB3
135k still in DBEC (lets say 100K for 2001-02 cases)
135k still in PBEC (lets say 35K pending 2001-02)
so still 135k pending for EB3 for 2001-02.
so what is ratio of big 4 vs. the rest in EB3? any guess?
no one knows monthly BEC approval rate either right?
i am trying to guess how further will it retrogress...(well no one knows but...)

You can import PDF-compatible Adobe Illustrator files (.ai) directly into an open document in your Microsoft Expression Blend project.
When you import an Illustrator file into Expression Blend, Illustrator layers, groups, and objects are converted to Expression Blend containers and objects with associated properties. Understanding how Illustrator objects are imported into Expression Blend will help you integrate Illustrator files into your Expression Blend projects more quickly and efficiently.
When you save your file in Illustrator, make sure that the Create PDF Compatible File check box is selected in the Illustrator Options dialog box. Otherwise, you will not be able to import your Illustrator files into Expression Blend.
http://expressioniq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/b5_CreatePDFCompatibleFile.png (http://expressioniq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/b5_CreatePDFCompatibleFile.png)
To import an Illustrator file
Open the document into which you want to import the .ai file.
On the File menu, click Import Adobe Illustrator File.
In the Import Adobe Illustrator File dialog box, locate the Illustrator file that you want to import, and click Open.
Click OK.
A new Canvas object with the same name as your imported file is added to your document. In the Objects and Timeline panel, under the Canvas object (named AvatarSymbols in this example), are all of the Illustrator objects imported as Expression Blend objects. If images are imported as a part of your .ai file, a new folder (named AvatarSymbols_Images in this example) is created in the root folder in the Projects panel to contain all the converted image files.
Note: If there are no images associated with your project, a folder will not be created in the Projects panel.
http://expressioniq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/b5_ImportIllustratorFile.png (http://expressioniq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/b5_ImportIllustratorFile.png)
You can also create a custom folder in the Project folder for any images that are associated with your .ai file.
To create a custom images folder
In the Projects panel, right-click the .csproj file, and then click Add New Folder.
Type a name for the new folder in the folder name box.
With the folder selected in the Projects panel, import the Illustrator file by following the steps in the preceding procedure entitled “To import an Illustrator file.”
Layers, groups, and objects
Expression Blend imports Illustrator layers and groups as nested XAML Canvas objects containing paths and images. Nested Canvas objects are used as layout containers to make them easier to work with in Expression Blend. The following information will help you understand how to work with Illustrator files after they are imported.
Layer names
Layer names are preserved for the top-level groups (Avatars in the preceding image). After you import your Illustrator file into Expression Blend, you can change the name by right-clicking the object in the Objects and Timeline panel and then clicking Rename, or by double-clicking the object name and then typing directly in the object name field.
File structure and groups
Illustrator groups do not exist in PDF-compatible files, so are not imported into Expression Blend. However, the objects contained within an Illustrator group are imported as individual objects with the same positioning as in the Illustrator group.
Object types
Images are imported as PNG files and are added to an images folder in the Project panel, and added as Image objects in the Objects and Timeline panel. Text and vector objects are imported as editable paths and appear in the Objects and Timeline panel.
Visibility and lock
Visibility settings for Illustrator layers imported into Expression Blend are preserved. However, only visible objects within layers are imported. You can change which objects are imported into Expression Blend by changing the visibility settings of the objects within each layer in Illustrator.
Lock settings are ignored.
Editable content
If the imported content is editable, you can modify the appearance of the content in Expression Blend by modifying the object properties. The following table describes Illustrator elements that are editable in Expression Blend. Use the Description column to locate the properties for the object in order to modify them in Expression Blend.
Illustrator element Expression Blend element (XAML) Description Group Canvas Illustrator groups are ignored. However, the content of the group is imported as individual objects in the Objects and Timeline panel. Text (type objects) Canvas An Illustrator type object is imported as a Canvas object named TextBlock with the original Illustrator text imported as Path objects. Text styles are imported as separate Path objects. For example, a 5-letter word with a Strikethrough style applied is imported as a Canvas object containing 6 paths, one path for each letter of the word, and an additional path for the Strikethrough style.
Stroke Path An Illustrator stroke is imported as a path with the Stroke properties mapped to the Stroke brush in the Properties panel in Expression Blend. Solid color fill Path An Illustrator solid color fill is imported as a Path with the original Fill property mapped to Expression Blend Color properties applied to a Solid color brush. Solid color brush properties are located in the Brush category of the Properties panel.
Linear gradient fill Path An Illustrator linear gradient fill is imported as a Path with the original Fill property mapped to Expression Blend Linear gradient brush properties applied to a Gradient brush. Linear gradient brush properties are located in the Brush category of the Properties panel.
Radial gradient fill Path An Illustrator radial gradient fill is imported as a Path with the original Fill property mapped to Expression Blend Radial gradient brush properties applied to a Gradient brush. Radial gradient brush properties are located in the Brush category of the Properties panel.
Image layer Image An image object in Illustrator is imported as an Image object in Expression Blend. In addition, a PNG file is added to the project. The PNG file is the source for the Image object. Custom fill OpacityMask applied to an ImageBrush Illustrator supports multiple fills for an individual object. If an additional fill is applied to an object in Illustrator, and that fill contains an alpha channel, the fill is imported as an OpacityMask applied to an ImageBrush. For best results, use only one fill acting as an opacity mask in your Illustrator file. OpacityMask properties are located in the Brushes category in the Properties panel. In addition, a PNG file is added to the project. The PNG file is the source for the ImageBrush.
Note: You can verify whether or not multiple fills has been applied to an object by viewing the object properties in the Appearance panel in Illustrator.
Clipping mask Clip property An Illustrator clipping mask is imported as a Clip property. Clip properties are located in the Miscellaneous category in the Properties panel.
Note: The Clip property has limited support in Windows Phone projects.
Illustrator feature support in Expression Blend
The following Illustrator features are supported in Expression Blend. Where noted, features can be edited in Expression Blend.
Note: Although Expression Blend supports the following Illustrator features, for best results, create your Illustrator file using only vector art.
Text
Text layers imported from Illustrator are converted to a canvas, and each character is a separate path object that is a child of the canvas. The appearance of the text is maintained, but is no longer editable as text after it is imported.
If a single text layer in Illustrator contains hard returns, the text associated with each paragraph break will be imported as a separate canvas object when imported into Expression Blend.
Note: You may experience unexpected results when you import text from Illustrator. These results can include unexpected character rotation, kerning, point sizes, and alignment.
Text styles
The following Illustrator text effects create individual paths when imported into Expression Blend.
Subscript
Superscript
StrikeThrough
Underline
SmallCaps
AllCaps
Effects
Effects are supported, but not editable, in Expression Blend. Effects are rasterized and imported as Image objects. A PNG file is used as the source for the image object, and is located in the folder that is created in the Project panel.
Gradients
Expression Blend supports the importing and editing of linear and radial gradients. Color stops are imported as gradient brushes to the Fill property of the resulting object in Expression Blend, and opacity stops are imported as gradient brushes to the OpacityMask property.
Strokes
Custom strokes are imported as individual paths.
When you save an Illustrator file in PDF-compatible format, strokes and fills are saved as separate paths. When you import a PDF-compatible file into Expression Blend, a stroke and a fill on the same object may also be imported as separate objects. However, if the stroke and the fill are identical, the stroke and the fill may be merged into a single object when imported into Expression Blend.

Embassies do not handle these matters. Departure and arrival records are maintained by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). Here is the link for instructions on what to do if you did not surrender the I-94:

Your friend is capable of a lot; but incapable of asking his own questions !!! Not being cynical or rubbing salt on a wound....but whats the harm in claiming that its your own problem instead of a 3rd persons.?
Given 'your friends' patents & papers in the technical field, self employment as consultant could be possible.
Also ask opinion of attorney on actually incorporating LLC....timing of incorporating such LLC after receiving RFE can be suspect.
Good luck - to your friend.
Hello,
Thanks for your reply. But I do not appreciate the sarcastic cynicism . The only reason I am fronting for my friend is 1. he does not have time now and 2. because of the apprehension that participating in forums like this may put him in more hot soup. I hope you understand.
Also, I am at loss to understand how can people jump to imaginary conclusions without any supporting basis.
Please let us not create any distractions for a really serious problem we have on hand. I am not going to engage in war of words, even if you have a retort for me.

Here is the link:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/05/17/dobbs.bushspeech/index.html
Posted article is below. Refer to the highlighted section :
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush's address from the Oval Office on border security and illegal immigration failed to satisfy either advocates of amnesty or those demanding that the government secure our borders and ports. Whether by design or not, however, the president did manage to advance public awareness of both crises.
The president finally acknowledged the unsustainable social and economic burdens of permitting millions of illegal aliens to forge documents, pressure our public schools and hospitals, and overtax our local and state budgets.
And the president, in asking for more border patrol officers and sending 6,000 National Guardsmen to our southern border to support the Border Patrol, also acknowledged the federal government's utter failure to protect the American people by securing our borders, across which as many as three million illegal aliens enter this country each year.
President Bush's five-point plan began with the words, "First, the United States must secure its borders." But the president did not assign any urgency to the national task of doing so. Deploying as many as 6,000 members of the National Guard to help secure our broken border with Mexico is positive step.
But the president's proposal to place those National Guardsmen in some sort of adjunct support role is peculiar at best, and without question, woefully inadequate. The president sounded as if he were trying to appease Mexico's President Vicente Fox, assuring him we would not militarize the border. If there is to be appeasement at all, that should fall to the Mexican government rather than President Bush.
Not only are millions of illegal aliens entering the United States each year across that border, but so are illegal drugs. More cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana flood across the Mexican than from any other place, more than three decades into the war on drugs.
President Bush and all the open borders advocates should be held to account for not doing everything in their power to destroy the drug traffic across our borders, as well as illegal immigration.
If it is necessary to send 20,000 -- 30,000 National Guard troops to the border with Mexico to preserve our national sovereignty and protect the American people from rampant drug trafficking, illegal immigration and the threat of terrorists, than I cannot imagine why this president and this Congress would hesitate to do so.
And how can this president and this Congress begin to rationalize placing immigration reform, which has been neglected since the last amnesty 20 years ago, ahead of national security and the safety of all Americans?
President Bush went on to say that in order to secure our borders we must create a temporary guest worker program. What? Come again, Mr. President. The president knows better, and so do the American people. Control of our borders and ports is necessary to our national security and a temporary worker program is an exploitive luxury for corporate America.
The president also said we need to hold employers who hire illegal aliens accountable, but he failed to say how. What should be the penalties for these illegal employers? How large a fine should they receive? How many years in jail for the executives of such companies?
It would have been inspiring to hear the president say that he and his friend Vicente Fox had discussed illegal immigration and drug trafficking and reached an agreement that both our country's militaries would be used to create a joint border security force, one that working together would ensure the integrity of the Untied States/Mexico border.
Wouldn't it have been nice as well for this president to suggest that the U.S. government would also take seriously its responsibilities to create a new and efficient immigration system to accommodate the backlog of millions of people trying to do the right thing? The same agency that would have to oversee Mr. Bush's amnesty program could not begin to do so because the Citizenship and Immigration Services already faces a backlog of millions of people who are trying to enter this country lawfully.
Aside from the fact that both political parties are complicit with corporate America and special interests in placing so-called immigration reform ahead of border and port security speaks volumes about our elected officials' commitment to the national interest and the weight and influence of corporate America over both parties.
Mr. President, I don't think the American people will tolerate this much longer.

Posted article is below. Refer to the highlighted section :
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush's address from the Oval Office on border security and illegal immigration failed to satisfy either advocates of amnesty or those demanding that the government secure our borders and ports. Whether by design or not, however, the president did manage to advance public awareness of both crises.
The president finally acknowledged the unsustainable social and economic burdens of permitting millions of illegal aliens to forge documents, pressure our public schools and hospitals, and overtax our local and state budgets.
And the president, in asking for more border patrol officers and sending 6,000 National Guardsmen to our southern border to support the Border Patrol, also acknowledged the federal government's utter failure to protect the American people by securing our borders, across which as many as three million illegal aliens enter this country each year.
President Bush's five-point plan began with the words, "First, the United States must secure its borders." But the president did not assign any urgency to the national task of doing so. Deploying as many as 6,000 members of the National Guard to help secure our broken border with Mexico is positive step.
But the president's proposal to place those National Guardsmen in some sort of adjunct support role is peculiar at best, and without question, woefully inadequate. The president sounded as if he were trying to appease Mexico's President Vicente Fox, assuring him we would not militarize the border. If there is to be appeasement at all, that should fall to the Mexican government rather than President Bush.
Not only are millions of illegal aliens entering the United States each year across that border, but so are illegal drugs. More cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana flood across the Mexican than from any other place, more than three decades into the war on drugs.
President Bush and all the open borders advocates should be held to account for not doing everything in their power to destroy the drug traffic across our borders, as well as illegal immigration.
If it is necessary to send 20,000 -- 30,000 National Guard troops to the border with Mexico to preserve our national sovereignty and protect the American people from rampant drug trafficking, illegal immigration and the threat of terrorists, than I cannot imagine why this president and this Congress would hesitate to do so.
And how can this president and this Congress begin to rationalize placing immigration reform, which has been neglected since the last amnesty 20 years ago, ahead of national security and the safety of all Americans?
President Bush went on to say that in order to secure our borders we must create a temporary guest worker program. What? Come again, Mr. President. The president knows better, and so do the American people. Control of our borders and ports is necessary to our national security and a temporary worker program is an exploitive luxury for corporate America.
The president also said we need to hold employers who hire illegal aliens accountable, but he failed to say how. What should be the penalties for these illegal employers? How large a fine should they receive? How many years in jail for the executives of such companies?

I would definitely be cautious about the plan you have mentioned. Here is the reason. You applied as an attending/practicing hospitalist through labor for a future job offer and you are moving into a trainee position. Should you be called for an interview or get a RFE at the AOS stage(not that uncommon nowadays), you would have to demonstrate how it is that doing an oncology fellowship better qualifies you to be a future hospitalist. That would be difficult. You could take a chance and get away but know that you will be taking one.
Even in cases of Physician NIW when you have completed the stipulated 5 yr commitment, lawyers are unwilling to give the all clear to do a fellowship on the EAD. They seem to be in consensus that you can move into another attending internist job but that is as far as they will go.

From the text I can derive two conclusion either it is directed to undocumented worker or everyone is put in same basket nothing specific about our cause. Apu dont get me wrong I apprerciate your initiative but it should not happen we sign to support Kennedy he comes out as hero for Latino community (did I forget to mention political gain) and we remain where we are and watch those illegals immigrant become US citizen.
Ouch ! thats pretty painful.
Infact I think the letter from his campaign representative is a way to get to the heart of our cause. We will sign once there is assurance in writing that it includes H1s.
I am sorry but with all due respect to Sen Kennedy he could address the rally of bunch of illegals waiving Mexican Flag and demanding their "RIGHTS" in Spanish. We have sent faxes in English to Senetor Kennedy requesting to support Bill that will provide relief to Legal immigrant communites but still nothing specific to our cause.
All the support we got till now are mostly from Republicans so we should abstain from supporting that is anti-republican.. More over we do not want to get caught in the crossfire between Dems and Repb.
FOLKS ONE MORE THING BEFORE WE SIGN "ANY" PETITION WE CONSULT OTHER MEMBER OF THE GROUP.
One of the purpose of IV is to make united effort to reach the shore for the people travelling in same boat

I have been in this situation but my work location changed more than 100miles within the same state. My attorney asked me to start another labor.
1. If you think that you will move back one the 485 is adjucated, then you dont have to worry. OTherwise, you have file a new labor. Atleast you are safe since your 140 is approved. You can port your PD.
2. If it is within few miles then it should not affect. Still you have to check with your attorney. Few miles sometimes puts you in different couty or state or even in different country. So the term "Few Miles" is relative one and it is better to check with attorney.

Correct - None is the answer! My law firm (Fragomen) didnt ask for them when they submitted my docs on JUly 2. Maybe they are needed if the USCIS comes back with an RFE.
I think if your case is pretty straight forward, there should be no problem without W2. What's the point to have it anyway? Some people do not even work for the petition employer since GC is for a future job. Right?
