Country caps, recapture, STEM exemption kind of provisions are the only hope.
Just for my understanding, why are we not talking about excluding dependents from EB count? If each primary applicant consumes nearly 2.5 visa, then excluding dependents will definitely be useful.
We don't talk about this because it is not feasible to achieve? Or does it slips out of our mind?
NB: I am not sure about the number 2.5; I remember this number from another thread.

The question is incorrect.
It should be, "How many of you have children that are non-US citizens?"
Reddog,
Smart.
It should be how many non-citizen children.
But you both missed one more applicant, the spouse.
The question should be,
Are you married and if so, how many children you have who are non-citizens. We do hope most of them should be unmarried:D.
Am I smart too..

*) Have an emergency cash fund that would last atleast 6 months without changing your lifestyle. If you lose job, a bit frugal living could stretch that 6month fund to 9 or 10 months. (this could be cash; or assets that would not lose their value and could be cashed at a short notice.)
Do not leave this entire fund in a checking/savings account; nor put it under your mattress.
Have some cash at hand ($1K or $2K); - this is to avoid ATM issues, run on the bank etc.
Put some of it in a 3 month CD;
Put some of it as precious metals (gold etc) - this will protect you against the dollar losing its value, yet the metal is easily saleable.
Put some of it in a money market account that yields a little better than the savings account, yet immediate cash availability.
Distribute your savings between atleast a couple of banks. (If a bank goes under, I do not know how long it takes to get access to your cash which is FDIC insured upto $100K (250K under the bailout plan)).
*) Credit is really tight right now. So... if you have any good offers of pre-approved credit, take it. Keep it aside.
*) Do not worry about your home losing its value. Enjoy the house; hopefully it will appreaciate back to your purchase price in a couple of years.
*) Pay the minimum home payments.
*) Atleast put enough in your 401K to get the employer match. That is free money you do not want to forego. Most likely, you will still be ahead if you have to cash out your 401K. (i.e. penalty + tax of an early withdrawal would most likely be less than the employer matched funds)
*) Enjoy time with family. Keep an eye for opportunities. Keep updating your skillset.

What do you want to know? I130 and I485 needs to be filed. Both Counselor Processing as well as AOS allowed.
This is current Priority Date
--- China ---- India
2A 01OCT03 01OCT03 For Spouse and Children
2B 01NOV99 01NOV99 For Unmarried children above 21
For EB based guys, my understanding is that this PD is same as Labor Certification PD which was used for GC - correct me if I am wrong.
Found this one on the internet... maybe someone can help to give more information about K-3 visa ...
here is the url :

Looks like it is the photos. I got the RFE after opening a Service Request and they have asked for photos. Morons. They could have made it clear in the instructions to send photos.
It doesn't happen to everyone. A couple of my friends got the ead without sending the photos. It all depends on who processes your application. If he is an ass, you are in trouble.
So, better send the pictures if you are planning to e-file.
I have sent the photos and now have to wait for another 45 days. Hopefully a smart guy who knows what he is doing will process it this time.
GCplease,
Have you received your EAD? if so how many days it took after responding to RFE?
Thanks

Hello,
So yesterday (Saturday) was another surprize, a pleasant one again! I got a call from the same IO who told me that he got all the documents that I had sent and has cleared my case for approval, but now my fingerprints have expired.
He asked if I could come right away to his office and he could give me an instant fingerprinting appointment in the nearby INS office. When I told him that I'm currently out of country on business trip and won't be back in US till April, he said he will send me an appointment near April 15th.
I thanked him for his follow-up and he said he was just doing his job. I know this might be an exception than a rule, but just wanted to acknowledge this particular IO and hope there are more like him.

Hi,
I may know the answer, but I thought i would check.
Below is my situation:
1) I-140 approved in Jan 2008
2) I-485 pending since July 2007
3) I have a 2 year EAD
Now, if I switch my job and the new employer is not ready to transfer my H1-B, can I use my EAD to work(provided my I-140 is not revoked by the previous employer)
Also, any chance that I could keep my GC application alive? what will happen when my Priority date becomes current.
Thanks in advance.

Guys pls stop taking useless info pass appointments. People like me who have not received EAD and may loose the job are not able to get infopass appointments because of all the people taking appt to know the 485 status. Pls understand......
Most people taking infopass are having serious matter to talk. If you suggest not taking infopass after 92 days and get to know of EAD status is alright, I donot agree. How can it delay your 'urgent/emergency' appointment. AOS issue comes in between btw.

I agree
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...

More H1-B workers in the labor pool and in GC Line ...so more outsourcing openings for Indian Companies ...:)
Adding more H1B is what every employer aspires. They don't want you to get GC soon enough so that you leave them for better prospects.
No one is going to raise the GC backlog issue. Is there a way by which the we can also ensure that companies also stress on reducing the backlogs in EB categories and re-capturing past immigrants visa as a interim relief as they lobbied for increasing H1-B caps

Hello Kiran,
:) Thank you! Yes, I personally have always been a supporter of FIFO for permanent residency and I empathize with all who are waiting much much longer than me. That's why I said that I wish there are more IOs like the one who is working on my case.
Good luck to all of us and let's keep IV strong!

That's not true, as per my attorney. When you are on the 7th yr of your H1 the only reason for the you get the 3 year extention on the H1 based on your approved I140 after filing your 485, is so that you won't be out of status even if your 485 gets rejected. You can still stay is status in US and appeal your 485.
Sorry, forgot to mention the MTR. If your I-485 AND MTR is rejected, my point still stands.

It applies to cases where you already have a approval for extension that starts after the day ur current visa stamp expires. So when u travel and at POE, the officer will perform the so called "last action" and stamp till the validity of your visa stamp. This "last action" is the current status of yours and will invalidate every other action (including the approval for an extension starting after the visa stamp) that was obtained before you travelled.
Wonder if it was some PhD who devised this rule at USCIS.

He will be out of status. Your 3 year extension beyond the allowed 6 years is based on that LC/I-140 from which your I-485 was filed. If the I-485 is rejected you have no right to stay beyond 6 years....
Total BS and Incorrect.
One can work on current H-1B (irrespective on basis it was approved), until the H-1B petition is revoked or canceled or expired. However, beneficiary is not eligible for new/extension of H-1B after I-485 denial.
