I would strongly suggest everyone to acquaint himself/herself with the legislative process and how a bill moves through different phases / steps before it becomes a law. You can find many postings documenting the process.
Right now it is just introduced in the senate. The problem for us is that Sen Durbin is Democratic Whip (i.e. Assistant Majority Leader) which gives him tremendous influence over garnering votes and referring which legislation to consider to the Majority Leader (Harry Reid in the Senate). Ultimately Reid decides which legislation get priority consideration. The fact that Grassley is a Republican and is close to the Minority Leader (I think) does not help us either. We will monitor the progress of the bill.
Question to IV core.
Can't we turn Mr Durbin to our side since IL has a large Indian community ?

MOST Important things:
1. DO NOT talk to the party or attorney who sued you directly. If they call take the contact info, tell that ur attorney will call them.
2. Talk to your insurance company
3. Talk to an attorney
4. Gather all documentation that you have
Sorry about wat happened to you. Looks like there are considerable injuries . You might not win the case since you are at 80% fault. Like others said you can not go back to India like nothing happened. You have to consult an attorney, ask if he can work on contigency basis. They will get all med records to decide if other party is faking or claiming too much. If you loose the case, then it depends howmuch you have to pay. If damages awarded are less than 500K, you can file bankrupcy. But you end up paying like mortgage forever. Once you file bankrupcy, I think you can leave the contry legally. If you loose and wish to stay, Your payments will be reduced if you have kids and a house payment.

I am a July filer and was issued a RFE recently. The last update on my case happened a week after USCIS received my reply. I have not been notified for any fingerprinting.

The approval notices of the H1B renewals and transfers that I got in the past, the I94 at the bottom had the same number as the one that was given at the port of entry while returning from the last abroad trip made prior to the renewal/transfer.
But in my case, the old I94 had the H1B written on it, as opposed to "parolee" as is your case. So I am interested to also know how your approval turns out.
I haven't received the physical H1B approval notice from my attorney yet so I don't know what's the I-94 # on that one although I doubt it will be the same. AFAIK each I-94 number is unique and different. Anyway, I don't think I-94 number itself matters any, just the fact that you have valid, not expired I-94 is sufficient.
I did not fill the forms for the transfer myself (the attorney did) so I don't know for a fact what he entered in "last manner of entry" but I'm 99.99% sure they must have said "Paroled" as they asked for my I-94 that had "paroled" stamp on it to attach with the petition.
Finally, I did not get any RFE.

Good news and I am very happy for all Eb2...It seems like EB3 has not much hopes. It is moving at snail's pace, but with all the overflow from EB1 and ROWW going to EB2 only, looks like EB3 will take a long time to reach 2004/2005. If few of us in EB3 category get to see the GC before they leave the US, we should consider ourselves fortunate.

unitednations, you making this statement makes me scared. :eek:
Shouldn't they release some memo or something before making a drastic change like this???
Don't know if this is a new procedure that they are following the main law where a valied 140 is needed the whole time.

Guys , I think this issue has been discussed lot of times.
1) USCIS do not allot immigrant visas, It is alloted by DOS.
2) DOS needs a fix in the current EB laws to capture unused visa.
3) I am not sure if we can push any change in law, given the current Iraq war quagmire.
But I hope they speed up the overall application processing times, with all the increased Fee money they will get from July 30th (by investing money on IT).
Not sure USCIS keep up their promise with a large volume of applications. I came to know from immigration-law.com site that, 750,000 applications(yes,i'm talking about I-485) will be filed in this one month period. So, I'm really scared to imagine something good with such large volume.
We should fight for recapturing unused visas and EB visa reform.
Otherwise, we dont know how many more years we have to wait to get GC.

I don't know why but we tend to be satisfied with lsmall benefits...
I agree with you "something (EAD and AP) is better than nothing"
But i bet you ..you will find your self in the same situation of agony and endless waiting for the final Green card.
I bet most of the people don't use your ead and AP as it puts you in a gray "Adjustment of status". They are good to have though. But you will see...how painful it is to decide to use them or not..
What i want to say is that being able to apply for EAD and AP is not the end of the battle..you will be stuck in a depressing situation waiting for the final green card.How do i know? .. I went through it...waiting for GC for the past 4 years.
I dont know its FBI or its just the USCIS incompetence but waiting in the final stage is horrible. Every time you travel you are scared...AP as for as my lawyer goes IT does not guarantee 100% entry in to the country.
After you apply for AP its only 1 year H1 increments.
What i am saying why dont we try for the overall improvement of the GC processing. Why dont we be firm about not wasting the GC numbers and recapturing the unused numbers.
We had a small revolt (peaceful way) and its successful.We dont want to stop there.
LETS FIGHT FOR THE OVERALL IMPROVEMENT OF THE GC PROCESSING
I hope you guys are with me..looking for your comments
Have you ever had to stay at home AGAINST your wishes?
Have you ever wondered if all your technical skills would still be usable when you finally get that EAD?
Have you ever wondered if the employer would still want you after you been out of circulation for so many years?
Well.... if you have ever asked your selves these questions, then you may well as say I am ready to wait for that GC
I agree, let us fight for the overall improvement of the GC processing, BUT I say after Aug 17th

I agree with your opinion however we might be in the minority here, fellow members(some of them) are just concerned about getting an EAD and AP. They do now know the issues we face after that. Every year renewals, associated risk of not getting AP in time to travel out and not to metion that fact that this will definitely add to the waiting period indefinitely again unless we get together and initiate a campaign for
1. Recapturing unused visa numbers from past years
2. Getting USCIS to treat Primary + Derivatives as one Visa number rather than individual.
any takers?
cheers - peace
How about they don't count dependent children under maybe 14 to the annual quota. They don't need EADs and they will not compete for jobs with anyone for a long time.

However, as far as access to some information and benefits goes, this can be restricted to members. If you think this issue impacts you as severely as it does, why the hesitation to ensure something gets done about it, and get regular access to information and benefits without the clutter?

I dont think it's a good idea. The fundraising thread demonstrates that we do have people who understand the stakes and are willing to do something about it. Ofcourse we need a lot more money but we should be able to persuade people to contribute voluntarily. I don't like exclusive clubs

How about sending letters to our representatives and then contacting the media on the plight of our spouses rather than on us!!! May be the human rights folks can help us on this.

Define which Indian community?
Gujratis who own motels and shops and will want more family immigration vs H1B
or
Indians who are now citizens. They will want less Indians to reduce competition for their jobs or for their children.
or
Desi consulting owners : less said the better
or
Desi H1b, students EAD etc...
They are a scared lot anyways and only worry about their immigration status and making dollars. Go tell them about IV if you can?
So tell which Indian community you are talking about?
Gangu ???
Didnot understand ur first two points... Are Gujaratis not indian ? Can you be little more specific ?

Can the spouse not get here own work permit such as H1-B, etc after she come here on a H4?
Also, can she be not added to the GC process at the time te PD becomes current?
How true! In fact not only we have to maintain H1B to be able to "bring" spouses but we have to MAINTAIN H1B until the our PD becomes current to be able to maintain spouse's H4 status.
THIS SUCKS. Is there any thread which discusses this issue in detail?

This is applicable when 140 has been approved. If 485 is retrogressed then you will get 3 year extension. If it's current you will get 1 year extension. Guess depends on luck. For e.g if some one has applied for extension in July he/she will now get only 1 year. I found this in a lawyer's chat transcripts.
yes i believe so. i applied my 8th yr h1 ext on may 16 and requested 3 yrs ext. with receipt date may 22. in june my 485 was current. filed for 485 end of june. file prob. reached there on july 2nd. fiasco announcement. july 17th mess is patched up saying dates are current. on july 18th i get a response from atty saying i got 1 yr ext. even though 3 yrs were requested. this is because my dates were current in june & july when they processed h1 ext. but it's a pain to process h1 ext each year based on 1 yr ext.
