There were many 245i applicants who filed under EB-3 category than EB-2 category. So EB-2 is less affected due to less 245i applicants and most of the problem is experienced in EB-3 categories.
We all should request congress, not to penalize us for playing by the rules and further request to exclude 245i visa numbers from regular quota.
I have already contacted the offices of Senators of my State & Rep. of House also. We all should contact our law makers.

Kudos to the core team for their work. These contributions reflect hope and resoluteness in our would-be immigrants, in spite of odds faced in a new country. This is the way to go.
Fund raising should continue, even after we meet the initial goal. We should propagate the word around and seek ideas and cooperation from more future members.
I placed the posters in local Indian Groceries. Tomorrow it is going to be in local temples. I passed on the flyer to an Irish friend of mine. Happy St. Patrick's day to you all.

That's what I am suggesting. Look back the first reply message. One doesn't gain authority and yell on others just because the person attended the rally.
Ras, looking at the photo at the rally, I think you got the point. Not much attended and I don't see any other nationals there.

btw, my heart skipped a beat seeing the title!! :) :D
The title gives the impression that EB3 - India is Current! Appropriate title could have been "My EB3-India petition is current"

I heard that once we start using EAD (immigrant intent), we could never go back to using H-1B (quasi non-immigrant). Many lawyers suggest not using EAD as yet because if I-485 is ever rejected for any reason, we could still be on H-1B and go on for few more years and leave the country comfortably. Without H-1B in those circumstances, we would be out of any status and we have to leave the country immediately.
Your friend might have applied for EAD, but primarily he must be staying on H-1B only. His wife could be using the EAD very much.

Hope "Flower Campaign" will not irritate USCIS and backfire on us, to tough the immigration process.
It's too late there's a big stick up your ass already how much farther can they really push it in.

If Priority date is 'Current', you can't apply for H1 extension!
I know someone whose H1 is expiring soon. He wasn't able to apply for H1extension till July 31st as PD was current. He is applying in August in Premium.
What happens if someones PD remains current ( say someone in 2000 stuck in FBI namecheck) and GC is stuck! Is it EAD all the way to the end thereafter?
Of course you can apply for an extension even if your PD is current, only you won't get a 3 year extension but a 1 year extension. Your pal probably didn't apply because he wanted to get 3 years.

Miguy, check ERAS carefully- there are two places for your visa status: one- your curent visa and the other your visa status when you will join the residency, July 2008. For the second, you need to put EAD if you do not have it in had now. Most programs know what EAD is, but you may need to give an explanation to others...
Thanks guys for your help- really appreciate. I also think I cannot join residency on EAD as of now. Just wanted to check if I am missing something important here... Please do inform if you come accross something relevant:)

Asian,
I know what you mean... there is nothing to stop us from doing something else totally different from our job description once we become permanent residents.
That's just how the immigration law works... and I think it applies to all nations in the world. You can't say that you want to work as a carpenter when you filed your GC as an IT skilled worker (as an example). Like as previously mentioned, it would make the LCA stage pretty obsolete.
But I think it would be GREAT if we were all allowed to freely change employers (within the same industry of work) without being shackled by employer sponsorship. I am sure that would please everybody, except for the bosses of course.

My answers in Blue....
Thanks SL & Lost in GC process,
Sorry for not being clear in C & D. I am in US. The question I meant to ask is about the the time that I am not physically present in US i.e. If I went for vacction in India for a month, can that one month be included in my H1B1 extension since I was not physically present in US. In other words I would file for 1.1 year extension as opposed to 1 year
Yes, you can recapture the time spent outside the US on your H1b...if thats what you are trying to ask...usually that is done when you are approaching the 6th year on theH1b
One the same topic, a friend of mine got a three year extension post 6 years of H1B. When asked, his lawyer informed, if you have an approved I140 then you are elegible for 3 years extension as opposed to 1 year. Is this true. Can some refer to the right CFR's

I am a July 2 filer. I got 485 receipt notice from California Service Center with receipt date of july 2. Today, in mail, I got another notice called transfer notice, which states that my case has been transferred to Nebraska. The receipt date on the transfer notice is Sep 5. Is it nromal to have such diferent receipt dates? Will USCIS process by receipt date on receipt notice or on transfer notice?
Even same for me. The receipt date on transfer notice is not the important, notice date on actual receipe notice is imp. Don't worry for each and every small thing. You application is received by USCIS and so don't think too much on this.
