Did you try the same.
No. This was the recommended workaround by a parents group that intended to file a PIL at one point. I will be able to try this next year though. I will send out the letter above too.

No matter which person we will go with, I think that we need to verify person's story before congress testimony. Not that I do not trust people, but we need to make sure that every detail is accurate; otherwise we risk of being called "liars" by the numbersusa. If we could obtain any documented proof of achievements and demonstrate the documentation to the congress, which will carry some additional weight...
Just my 2 cents.

pbuckeye,
I am with you on this and am willing to put in efforts for bringing some relief to all those patiently waiting to file their I-485. Unfortunately, whenever I bring up this topic I get no support from anyone. I don't think people waiting to file I-485 realize that possible wait times could range from 5,6 years to even a 20 ! Everyone has their hopes set on a mirage called CIR.
Is the following (or can it be) a part of the Admin Fix Initiative? :-
Allow I-485 filing and/or obtaining EAD,AP benefits when I-140 is approved irrespective of priority date being current. This will help many of us who missed the July 07 boat.

My wife is apply for AP renewal. She has her AParole until oct, 2,2008. She is travelling to india this week for three weeks. Can she apply for renewal and travel to india. Is it legal or does it have any replications.
According to my lawyer, the person (in this case your wife) must be in USA until your wife's AP application is accepted. Basically your wife should not try to apply AP when the she is not physically in USA.
After the application acceptance, your wife can travel.

Now this seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel ( not of an incoming train. hope so)
Lets support this bill, there is a website I am trying to remeber the address, I heard while driving on kfyi radio station, where all the bills are listed and people can poll on bills and this will help the lawmakers to find what bill is popular and which one is not.
I'll try to find and post it on the forum, we can poll and support this bill.

This favours temporary workers on H1, L1 etc. An H1/L1 spouse can move to the US easily, but not that of a GC holder. If you want to bring out this "discrimination", that would mean to discontinue H4 visas, as seeminlgly it is a discrimination against a GC holder. Is that you are looking for?

Its very interesting to read about people�s different perspective about same thing we are all after.. lets ask ourselves.. honestly why we do want GC and I am sure we all would have multiple reasons for this in our subconscious but would not like to bring it to forefront because it would only undermine our own ability to fight it or make life more stressful.. but end of the day we all want this card.. for me I want it mainly for security and peace of mind�lets look at the different situations.. these might be extreme but we all might have thought about these situations atleast at some point in the recent past� .. and especially the people in the seventh year
1. You are in your seventh year� and you loose you job�.what is the first thought that comes to your mind.. I got to pack and leave .. pack your home of seven years and all your possessions you collected, in two suitcases of 50lbs each and leave�forget the Flat Screen TV,, forget all the electronics and the two cars you love ... just list them in craigslist �
2. You have home which you bought with so much pride�what do you do? ..List it.. make a desperate sale in this falling market.. loose a ton of money and leave�and don't even talk about all the silk plants..floor lamps.. the furnishing,, they are for the yard sale on the Saturday..
3. You have child whom you love and have plans for them.. love the school.. are an active member in the PTA � all of sudden what you do.. pull them out of school, move them from the only culture and the country they have known the only President they know is Bush and the only national anthem they have learnt is "The Star-Spangled Banner"�to another place where they don�t even understand the language forget the culture, national anthem etc..
4. Think about your spouse.. they have adopted themselves to this lifestyle.. probably felt lonely when you moved here 7 years but now like it.. its time for them to move back�why because your don�t have a GC
5. Forget the Golf and Tennis you enjoy so much here �it was all a very good dream..
1. You are educated.. have a masters, have a professional degree.. but have been in the same position and department because of your long wait for GC, what happens� the fresh college graduate or the dumb blond who joined two years back and whom you taught how to log into the network is now your peer and you are still on the same desk doing the same job getting the 2% raise and working even more hard..so that you can keep you job..with a new dumb boss.. who thinks you are so dumb that you have been in the same job for so long time..
2. All your batchmates are doing great..some of them are now sweating to be VP�s having risen by changing jobs �. You are still years away from that situation.. what do you do.. stop attending alumni meets and envy the mails in your yahoo groups from people..
3. Seven years in US.. you have made your professional contacts.. and have a social network.. in which you invested your time and effort.. loose your job in the seventh year.. and all these contacts are nothing but an occasional international long distance call in future..
Last but not the least� flight back home to your country is not going to be as smooth as the flight to US was seven years back.. back home look for a job..learn the whole new professional culture �and then set up a new home,,new school for kids�.why because we could not get a GC.. which was not in our control.. and because some stupid insane guy sitting in cave 10K miles away decided to terrorize the people in America in 2001.. and make life difficult for all the people..including people in H1...
We might all go back to our home country one day.. but the ride back home would be much more pleasant and happier of a choice we made and not because we did not get a GC�
Good Luck and lets keep up the effort... :)
First and foremost, if you lose a job, it doesn't matter what your immigration status, life is going to become difficult for you and your dependents.
I lost my job in the 7th year of H1 but since I had well researched and planned for that scenerio before entering into the 7th year, I am still here in a new job with an anticipated 3 year extension from 2007-2010.
If a lobor from your previous job has been pending for more than 365 days, you are able to port the benefit of the 7+ year extensions to the new job. This will let you survive the 7th year job loss.
Likewise there is a "best possible" solution to all the hardships that you have listed above and that "best possible" solution will vary from person to person and hardship to hardship.
Life takes planning, no matter what your immigration status.
My friend who is an EB GC holder just sold his house and took a $40000 loss. Bad planning on his part. Purchased the house at the wrong time and sold it at the wrong time too.
Since he sold his house, he is forced to move and so his kids schooling is distrubed too.
Its been 3 months he has moved to his apartment and his other half doesn't like the apartment lifestyle after having lived in a house for a year.
Did his GC help in all this???
Compare that to me, I am not a GC holder.
I am sitting on $240,000 equity in my house for which I have no plans to sell.
I too was forced to move due to a recent 7th year H1 job loss, and miss my boating trips to the lake near my old house. My new job is a 100 miles away from my house so I decided to do weekend commutes to the old house, and still manage to hit the lake every weekend.
My better half also didn't want to move in an apartment due to my new job. Good enough, we leveraged the equity in our 1st house & higher income from the new job to buy a 2nd house near the new job site.
Did my not having the GC hurt???
GC or H1 didn't matter, good planning is what has helped me, and bad planning is what doomed my friend...

I personally think that 6 month rule-of-thumb is nonsense.
AC21 clearly states you can switch employers 6 months after your green card application has been pending. On what legal basis could USCIS then come back and deny citizenship to anyone for switching employers too soon after getting their green card?
I'd really be interested to hear if someone has specific knowledge of a case where someone had their citizenship denied due to switching companies too soon after getting their green card.
I'm just curious as to how many postings you see on these boards where a persons case has been denied; DOL/USCIS has visited their home; their visa got cancelled by consultate when h-4 went for stamping; got caught in interview lying; DOL investigating companies, etc...
People do not post these types of issues on immigration forums.

You can apply H1 extn earlier than 6 months. Mine was expiring in Sep 07. I applied on Jan 5th 07. Got 7-8-9 year extn in March.

A Quick Question.
Can parents stay here for 5 1/2 months go back for say a month or two and come back again for 5 1\2 months? Would this pattern be suspected during visa renewal?
sachuin23...don't do this...they can revoke your parents 10 year visa and they need to go and get visa again..this is too much stress on parents.
i know, my friend's parents did this...while entering they were held for many many hours. Finally they got entry permit and told them for 1 year, they are not suppose to enter back again. If they do, visa will be revoked.

If I switch jobs by doing H1B visa transfer and my new employer picks up the green card process from the EAD stage, does my new employer have to be located in the same city as the one mentioned in my PERM labor application of my current employer. The reason I ask is because my PERM application says my current job location is in Town X, State Y and I wondering if I have to stick to Town X, State Y when I find a new job or if I'm free to work anywhere in the US.
Please let me know. Thanks.

Yep!! This bill is really bad.
It bleeds us dry.
It bleeds the H1B program dry.
It is evident that the proponents of this bill want it that way.
Apparently the proponents see us as negative impactors to the US economy
Apparently the proponents see the business community that use the H1B program as not "Pro-American".
This is the beginning of protectionism.
This is the beginning of isolationism.
This is the beginning of blunting of America's competitiveness.
The proponents of this bill must go back to school to study rich European nations and find out why they do not have a vibrant economy like US has.
And the proponents of this bill must go back to school to know what makes US unique and vibrant.
After this if they still remain proponents, then GOD SAVE US!!!!!
Bad for consulting companies (no H1B; may lose job)
Bad for physicians (no H1B for medical residents; no provisions for NIW...terrible)
Bad for H1b transfers and extensions (severe restrictive provisions on H1B)
AC 21 repealed (disastrous)
Bad for pending I 140 .... left in limbo
Bad for pending LC .... left in complete limbo
Bad for retrogressed.... backlog will increase phenomenally 'cos of decreased visa numbers
This bill is a massive attack on us; we should put all our efforts to oppose and kill the bill. There is little chance that we can get amendments to reverse the potential damage that this bill can do... that is disaster for us.
