IMO we should first try to form a local chapter. If that doesn't work try to combine forces with nearby states like IN, OH, IL etc. to form "Mid West" Chapter ( like New England and Tri-Sate Chapters).
Co-ordination with IL chapter will be critical for us (and others too) in the coming days as Mr. "anti-legal immigration" Durbin is the senator there. We need to start acting - NOW - to convince him to drop anti-immigrant measures such as "barring H1Bs from consulting business"; instead of waiting on him to introduce his "Prevention of H1 & L1 Fraud Act" (and discuss it on IV ad nauseam without making the slightest impact)
Someone suggested even joining the illinois chapter - maybe thats the way to if there aren't many here

sorry for mentioning renewal, disregard that word.
Yes, go ahead and fill out the same form(regardless of the previous AP status), be sure to get the latest form from uscis site.
Thanks for the reply and the blog!
Regarding your answer for question 3 - when you say "renewal" what does it mean? There is just one application form for I-131, so should I simply fill out the same form regardless of whether the previous AP is current or expired?

I am in almost exactly the same situation as you... I wonder if this can be done as well... On the other hand, as long as AC21 and EAD are prevalent (as long as we can indeed get 3 yr EAD) it is atleast not as bad for us...
I pity the poor guys who could not file in july for whatever reason and are stuck in EB3 with a later PD
Yeah agreed...atleast we r lucky in that sense. But looks like now EB3 is not going anywhere. I might be wrong but till I dont see some good movement in EB3 category I choose to remain pessimistic...

I called an hour ago. The lady said the phones are ringing like crazy for these bills. She was nice to take down the bill numbers, my name, and phone number. I asked her the tipping point when these things get noticed and if we are any close to the number of phone calls. The lady said, call volume is good and it will only help if your community makes more calls.

First congrats to everybody here able to benefit from this great news. For the rest of the road still loooooooong to go. I'm just starting my labor certification process this month and I'm very new to this whole greencard process. Is there any advice I can have to expedite my application before retrogression hits again. Hopefully it will be a little while before CIS brings us to reality of life. Any help to a poor man will be greatly appreciated.
If there was much advice we could give about expediting the process, there would be very few people on this board, unfortunately!
Even those who are just eligible to file for the last stage, its likely to take years longer on average.
Other than suggesting you win a Nobel prize, win an Olympic gold medal, or select the country of your birth, there is little feasible that I can say.
The good news is, things could move a lot faster than those of us that are or were stuck in the Backlog Elimination Centers.
Oh - and those talking about the reintroduction of CIR - remember, it also was taking out pretty much all AC21 provisions which will still affect people on EAD

1. What happens when changing employers when I-140 and I-485 pending for less than 180 days?
The key criteria here is an approved I-140 + I-485 pending for more than 180 days. My understanding is that if you do not satisfy both clauses, you will have to re-start the process again when you change employers
Having an approved 140 and a 485 pending for more than six months is the safe method of switching. For AC21, the key is to have your 485 pending for more than six months. You can use AC21 to switch employers after six months of filing of 485 even if your 140 is not approved. Its not a simple process but folks have done it.

You still have time to arrange your plans and attend! Here�s why you should come:
..................... Rather, I invite you to think this way: Do it because it�s right! Do it for yourself! Think to yourself that you would do this even if you were the only person attending the rally. Think of Gandhi. Think of Martin Luther King.
.................... If you do not attend the rally, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime lost opportunity! LET�S GO! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!
Jaime , Very good post and very encouraging. It will change at least a few minds.
.............
Lot of people consider it below dignity to do something about GC related stuff, many just want to live they way they are, no ambitions, no motivation to work towards a change.
............- most of these wake up late in morning, go to work, watch TV , lazy in weekends , play cards, chat on phone , always spend a lot of hours on the internet researching for some crappy deals on electronic goods - the time, if well spent is worth more than what they save on buying the item.
...................
Chanduv23 , I know you are a very active member in these forums and feel very strongly about these efforts. I can probably understand your frustration, But I don't think we can embrace/attract people by alienating them.
It is pretty broad generalization to say those who don't/can't attend the rally or those who does not have a positive disposition about the rally are bunch of lazy, TV watching , cards playing , bargain hunting , un-ambitious people.
Let us move with a positive message. :) :) .

This is for the ones who think that the discrimination based on EB3 or Eb2 is a bigger issue! I would not get into the discussion on why I think that IV is not just about EB2. Also, on our forums it's about reality and not empathy, which everyone should understand.
Now having said that, please direct your energy towards elimination of country limits rather than fighting a fight which was in your past. Why your company put you in EB3 and not EB2 is not something USCIS or US can control anyways. But when you are EB2 or EB3 with same qualification, experience and expertise compared to someone from say Europe, Australia and many other countries but China, India, Mexico and Philippines than why should that other person get it before you do when you applied before him???? What is America getting anything different from this other person?
Now talking about diversity for country limits India is more diverse than any other country in the world! And hey, most of them are already here in the country and waiting in queue, how is this helping the diversity?
What is use of that? At the year end all remaining numbers will come back to India and China. This year they got 9000 numbers all the numbers went in EB2 group. There is no advantages for EB3I. All you can achieve is pulling down the EB3 ROW by years to achieve may be 2 months advancement for EB3I. Best way is put the stricter norms for EB2 avoid the people misusing the EB2. So that these number will flow to EB3 like how the EB2 is getting numbers from EB1.

This is what Fragomen says but we have to keep our fingers crossed:
----------------------------------------------------------
Proposed Amendments to the Senate Bill
Late last week, Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA), John Cornyn (R-TX), Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) announced an amendment to the Senate bill that would make important changes to several of the employment-related provisions of the Senate bill. With respect to immigrant visas, the amendment would restructure the proposed merit-based program to add several of the features of the current employment-based system. The amendment would add an employer sponsorship component, and would create programs equivalent to the first, second and third employment-based preference categories for foreign nationals of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, multinational executives and managers, advanced degree professionals, foreign nationals of exceptional ability, and professional workers (though the amendment would not provide for an equivalent to the current "other worker" subcategory). The amendment would also restore the labor certification requirement for the second and third employment-based preference categories, but would not provide for a national interest waiver of the requirement. In addition, the amendment proposes an additional 140,000 immigrant visa numbers for employer-sponsored merit immigrants, and would create a quota exemption for certain highly skilled immigrants who have at least three years of U.S. work experience. Regarding the H-1B program, the amendment would eliminate the 20,000 ceiling on cap exemptions for foreign nationals holding advanced degrees from U.S. universities and create a new exemption for foreign nationals holding foreign advanced degrees in the sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics. The amendment would also dispense with the Senate bill's expansion of the recruitment and non-displacement attestation requirement to all H-1B employers.

You have to understand the simple fact that no,law or system is 100% perfect on day 1. Over time we have to learn the system and take the feedback and modify the system according to changing times. You cannot say that discrimination is built into the law. This is totally wrong.
Again H1-B visa is a privillege just like Driver license. It is not a right.
We can only request/protest democratically following proper protocols and get our things done. Otherwise there won't be any difference between us and those terrorists who protest by suicide bombers.
I hope i didn't offend anyone here.
of course, a different visa type, discrimination built into the law.

Iam sorry to say that i could not navigate to certain forum postings and IV did not communicate that these are not availabe for Non - Donors.... Why this caste system?
"I am not blaming the Core at all, they are doing whateven they can given the limited resources, time and influence they have. But, what I am blaming, is the the "holier than thou" attitude which is adopted when distinguishing between those that are the exalted DONORS and those that aren't "
This is the most ridiculous thing ever and just goes on to show why Sanju calls these people educated illiterates. Dont you have any reasoning, analytical skills - this is like the helpdesk people who know that 2+2=4 but not that 1+3=4 because no one told them so.
Donor system is like caste system, REALLY!!! Let me make it simple for your educated brain....Caste system was something that you were born into and could not change by paying money or anything else and then you were discriminated based on that....the absolute worst thing. Donor only forums are like premium content....no one is saying that you cannot look at it because you were born into something,....if you wanna see it, show me the money!
Sanju, I have seen many posts by you and although they might seem harst, its just a frustration at the desi mentality. I just hope you keep your cool and peace of mind and done mind these trollers who have nothing better to do.
To the starter of this thread and all those who think IV is closed to new ideas or dissenters....you need to learn how to put your different ideas across and criticizing contructively. Something offensive like "King has no clothes"....are you freakking kidding me....there are no Mahatma Gandhi's here to turn the other cheek.

LAR (Last action Rule) will not applicable in this case. It is applicaple only in change of status ( like H1B to H4 or L1B to H1B). Not in H1B to H1B. If you continously maintained H1B status, you are OK, as long as the H1B approval is valid employer2. Employer 1 or Employer 100 can file H1B, even without your knowledge. Therfore, you dont worry. As you were authorized for employer 2 for that period and you worked for them in that period, you are OK. Exlain them in detail with the evidence of H1B approval for employer 2 and pay stubs. Any way, consult an attorney.
