These are not going to fix the issue at large about limited GC numbers.
We need to make sure bills like HR5882 get passed. So we need to focus on how to make this a central issue in current politics.
We need to do much bigger than a single day news ... something for which main stream media pays attention in +ve light.
I second this. It will take 1 more year for USCIS just to come out of 2001 for EB3 I unless 5882 passes!

Recently I returned after a one month trip to India. At DC airport the CBP secondary inspection officer grilled us rough. First he called my wife and asked why did we leave US. She told that since my parents are old and not in good health we visited them. Then he started asking for documents proving it. And told us that without documents he won't let us enter. He went on to say that AP is only on humanitarian basis and unless CBP officer is satisfied with proof they cannot allow AP holder to enter. Finally after convincing him for another 30 min he let us in.
This was a really shocking experience. Are employment based GC's AP supposed to be treated like humanitarian AP? or was the CBP officer over reacting? Gurus please throw some light.
THE CBP OFFICER WAS INCOMPETENT AND CONFUSED
Read the following - http://www.jamaicans.com/articles/immigration/im_0408.shtml
" Many do not know that within the US Immigration system exists certain discretionary grants of entry to the United States. The Humanitarian Parole is one such form of entry and the Public Interest Parole is another. Both are available pursuant to section 212(d)(3) or 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Both require that certain conditions be met and that the need for immediate entry be thoroughly explained and documented......"

I don't think this is true. As a CSR, case is assigned to you, not you choose the case. I think it's the same way to IOs. PD current cases will be assigned to IO, not IO looks into paper mountains to find case to adjust....
Yes, you are right. Cases are assigned (not picked), which is done in order they were physically received at the center they are being assigned at. If PD is not current, case is put aside and next file is considered. Due to huge filings in July'07, resultant chaos, and shuffling cases around between centers before entering them in the system, if your file is way below in line (eventhough you deligently made sure to have it with USCIS on July 2, AND your PD is current), no one is going to look at your file, until your turn (in order of final data entry) reaches.

First of all learn to "conduct" yourself in public before working for the semi conductor industry. What is gulti mentality pls explain? Second of all you chose to come here with the constraints that were imposed on you, did you have the balls to question the immigration officer as to why your wife could not work? If you think this is hell my friend you are in for a rude surprise.
When you want answers for your question there is a method for asking it, pls follow that method and you will get your answers, there are more people willing to help here than you will find anywhere. Ranting about communities will get you no where, now apologize and ask your question, someone will answer.
Gulti mentality was something that guy(malibuguy) was talking about . Thats what i meant by Gulti mentality . I just started with a simple question "WHATS THE MOTIVATION FOR CONTRIBUTION(MONEY AS WELL AS TIME) FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T APPLIED FOR GC " !! Was that offensive ? I don't need answers for specific questions. I just need to know what IV is all about ? ? BTW, i have balls to ask anything to anybody if it makes sense(immigration officer is not making rules) .

If we all recent US returned people form our own corporation back in India-I am sure next generation of innovation will come from there.(Why software?-thankfully, Indian govt has kept that sector free from its regulation)
Reliance,Wipro and Infosys have made a big name.We need new self driven stories.

Is not paying a traffic ticket is state or federal record? If it is state, jut get a ticket do not pay it and just for the sake of it after 2 months go to Canada or Maxioco and try to come in. This will answer your own question when you re-enter..Wake up.. some has not to fax the entire case to feds.. this just automatic.. i m sure u r in IT and know how easy it is to get the records these days.. and no i do not have any access to any systems but everything is a public record if one has any..
Are you saying not paying traffic ticket is a federal crime?
Do you even know the definition of state vs federal crime?
Yes, whenever police pulls one up, they will check if he/she has any outstanding warrants in that state or run a FBI check.

From Kluge Pledges $400 Million To Columbia for Student Aid (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/11/AR2007041102183.html), Thursday, April 12, 2007
John W. Kluge, who launched his media empire with an investment in a Washington-area radio station, has pledged $400 million from his estate to Columbia University.
The promised gift, one of the largest ever from an individual to a university, will be used exclusively for student financial aid.
Kluge, 92, an immigrant from Germany who graduated from Columbia 70 years ago, served in the military and went into business in the 1940s. He was president and chairman of Metromedia Inc., overseeing a collection of television stations and various businesses including the Harlem Globetrotters. He lived large: In the 1980s, Washington Post articles described his property near Charlottesville, with a golf course designed by Arnold Palmer, a disco and pheasant hunting.
And he donated, giving money to places such as the University of Virginia and the Library of Congress. He had given more than $110 million to Columbia. He turned over his 7,000-acre Charlottesville estate to the University of Virginia.
His gift is the largest for student aid at an institution, said John Lippincott, president of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.
As college tuition continues to outpace the rising cost of living, some schools have put increasing emphasis on finding ways to make education more affordable. Last year, Columbia announced that students from families earning less than $50,000 a year would get grants, not loans, to cover costs; several other schools have begun similar programs.
At a ceremony yesterday in New York to announce the gift, Kluge said that he wanted to ensure that Columbia remained a place for the best and the brightest -- and that, because its endowment was not nearly as large as many peer institutions, the university would require that support.
Philanthropy to higher education has been doubling every decade, Lippincott said. "We're now at about $28 billion a year."

With all due respect asking Bernanke to increase visa numbers of to do visa recapture is like asking a very successful lawyer to do a by-pass surgery.
Congressmen (senators included) make the law and President signs it into the law. President is also the head of executive (which includes USCIS), hence he is the boss of USCIS. Its basic civics 101.
Even if Bernanke is convinced 100% about your points, there is nothing he can do to help us. He doesn't make the laws, and USCIS has no reasons to listen to him (he isn't their boss). So what you suggest, my friend, is that we bark up the wrong tree, instead of approaching the right people - who are the only people who can fix our problems.
In America, people gets recognized when they offers a solution for a problem faced by the country. Whiners are (who write to Bush or Senators) do not get noticed nor are respected.

Talk to a lawyer and get the answers.
I do, but I don't get all the answers.
But if you're on travel and questioned by immigration upon entrance if you're still working for sponsoring employer, depending on the circumstances, they can take your GC away. So that's another scenario separate from an audit or citrizenship interview that GC jeopardy may arise.
Didn't think about that. but... why would officer ask "do you work for the sponsoring employer"? Isn't your GC same as family based, asylum, etc. green cards? Does officer even have that information right away? What do they ask usually?
If circumstances change, like you getting laid off or fired, that's a different story. If the sponsor's intent changes, and that does happen, then obviously, you're free to move on. But you should be able to prove that, with say a termination letter, for example.
I don't see the difference between being laid off and leaving yourself. In case of being laid off, your employer has to show intent of employing you forever. If any document will surface, that he had plans to lay you off before applying for I-140 or without you invoking AC21 at moment of AOS, then you are in the same trouble.
All the way one keeps thinking that you are free to start a business, look for more exciting opportunities, go work in starbacuks...( yeah all that )...once you get a GC..
But, now everyone is talking about again sticking to the sponsoring employer, a green card being revoked while entry...and umpteen scenarios...
So, where does it end..when can one really feel you can flex yourself and do something without worrying about my employment history...
These issues are raised not to start freaking out, but just to know them and not to do some silly things.
In general... take this philosophically - it never ends. If not immigration, then something else will always be. Just know the law, keep your paperwork in order, don't talk to government employees without a lawyer, flex your mind, and do your thing.

Do you want to have similar polls on:
marrying
buying a car
having children...
There is something which is personal...buying a house is one such...opinion poll shouldn't decide that....GC or not if you feel like buy one...
We went thru the same decision 3 years back but not buying a house was one of the best decisions....the best way is to ask people who are selling houses....in the northeast it is a hell to sell houses.
My suggestion if you are a medico or a lawyer go ahead....but being attached to the tech sector is no safety net for buying a house....I have had friends with 300K take home file for bankruptcy in this economy after both members loose very lucrative jobs....just a statistic...by 2010 more than 50% households in the USA will owe more for mortgage than their houses net worth.....
Again it is an individualistic decision....go ahead if you feel confident...two things you must make sure you are in the house for at least 3 years....tax savings are no security...house tax and work on the house do add costs up....
+ House in USA is no longer an equity proposition but a liability...
SoP
for sensible reply..... please don't tell me you never asked your friend's opinion when you were thinking of buying new CAR..... my poll question was simple..... if your GC is pending and did you buy house or not.......I see nothing wrong with this....

my point is if dates retrogress and if processing EAD's and AP's takes a long time getting a EAD might be easy in the first 60-90 days but renewals will become more difficult.
its ok for folks that are within their 6 yrs of H1b but for others it will be a big head ache. As someone already mentioned earlier, you might have to apply for your renewal EAD the day after you get your 1st EAD and so on.
Maintaing H1 status (even during I-485) is a very good idea. One can get H1 beyond 6 years (in one year increments) if I-485 is pending.
I would apply EAD renewal after 3 months. It is a small price for peace of mind.

- Labor was filed with a minimum requirement as Masters degree. No alternate degree requirement or equivalency was mentioned. --> just found out that it did say BS+ 5 exp is ok - USCIS mistakenly approved the I-140 (I am assuming OP does not have a US Masters and only has masters equivalent or BS + 5 yrs)
- Sponsoring employer revoked approved I-140
- USCIS checked the I-140 and realized it made a mistake in initial I-140 approval
- USCIS denied the pending I-485 based on incorrect I-140 approval
If all of the above is correct, then I doubt if anything can be done. I dont see any grounds to file MTR based on the fact that beneficiary does not have a US Masters degree which is the requirement as indicated in LC filing. I dont think you can do anything with respect to USCIS's mistake in approving I-140 earlier and now denying it. Got to wait and see what the attorney's view is in this regard.

Since the application do say BS+5 years and I have copy of the Edu evaluation which says Master equivalent , I do see a good chance now to re-open the case .
Mine is not a labor substitute. ( just to clarify)

Please shut your mouth. You do not know and feel what we are going thru (PBEC victim). As a member of this community, and have contibuted monetary support, I too, would like to have the problem in PBEC be heard.
There is only one thing I suggest, please do not have this guy "prolegalimmi" speak in front of the congressman.
With all due respect to your point of view without being rude, I am a BEC victim from April 2001. I have been waiting to get my Labor Certification from April of 2001. Till date, I know it may be in one of the BECs if it wasn't lost in transit. I was not able to obtain a screen shot nor do I have a 45 day letter. Still I say, when setting priorities, set it on what can be accomplished in the next two weeks, I agree with you in using the IVs opportunity to speak to bring all issues. But definitely not agree with your tone of voice. IV has clearly stated in its media relations page that members that have no respect to opinions and have no decency in their language can be taken out or censored.
