I am positively sick of seeing the same "case received and pending" status on my I-485 case for the past two years (almost). I call CIS and they parrot like repeat the same status which I see on their website. They tell me they have no further information.
I simply can't take it any more. I have already paid unnacceptably high human cost for this GC. If my case has any discrepency and it is going to be rejected eventually, then I dont see any point of working in US from this point onwards itself. I would rather move back to India and use this time to build my career there.
I can hang on only if I somehow get to know if my case has been pre-adjudicated for approval, and no more bureaucratic actions are required on it. But how do I do that?
Any ideas?

I was also lucky to meet one of their executive editors to whom I explained the issues posed by retrogression. He was very supportive but informed that he has been hearing from the other side as well.( I guess from NumbersUSA).
We too should be pro-active in campaigning to media about our valid cause.
I just sent the following E-mail to the Information Week Editors.
Sub:Your help requested for Skilled IT wokers to get their greencards
Dear Mr.McGee,
I had a chance to read your article about the issues
faced due to the H1B caps and the Greencard
Retrogression.("Time Is Running Out For H-1B Visa Cap
To Be Raised--Or Is It?"-Information
Week,Dt:06-Sep-06)
Thanks much for your insight about the SKILL bill.
It would be of great help if you could write more
Articles about the retrogression issues. Thousands of
unfortunate skilled workers like me have been caught
in the 'Retrogression' black hole and there is no
relief is visible in any near future.I have been
waiting for more than 5 years for my green card in
vain. We are in a state of limbo and are almost
similar to bonded laborers since our professional
mobility is very much limited.
People talk so much about the CIR and Illegal aliens
but very few people even know about the plight of the
LEGAL SKILLED workers.The retrogression has not only
affected my immediate future but it has also
negatively impacted the future of family/kids as well.
Our final hope is residing on the SKILL Bill and we
pray that it will be some how be passed in the
lame-duck session as you mentioned in your article.
Hundreds of Skilled workers like me have given up hope
already and are returning to their countries or are
looking for opportunities in other countries like
Canada etc. This also is having a significant negative
impact on US economy.
Just to give an example: Atleast 100,000 Skilled
workers are holding off the decision to buy a house
since they are not sure about their future here in US.
This amounts approximately to $30,000,000,000 (100000
X $300,000) inflow of money that could give a big
boost to the declining US Housing market.
It is sad to see that so many experienced LEGAL people
leaving this country due to immigration caps.
I kindly request you to publish a cover story on this
serious issue before the lame-duck session. I am sure
your words will have a big impact on the CEO's and
CIO's who in turn can lobby among the senators for our
cause.
Thanks again for your help so far.
Regards,
Sreekanth

Folks,
If I contact a Senator and they probe TSC for status, will my lawyer or the firm come to know I initiated this?
Any ideas.?
Thanks.
Now that our PD dates will be current for more than 30 days (based on next months visa bulletin), can we use Odbumsman 7001 form
Or Can we expidetite the process, as when ever we call IO they give this BS explination saying that we can only expedite if your dates are current for more than 30 days and your file is still pending.

I guess the old labor will be invalid by now as it has been already been over 45 after approval.
Ask a lawyer, because due to this labor substitution rule now you might have a problem. (" A GOOD LAWYER IS A SOLUTION HERE")
What do you mean by how can you bear the expenses. What a ?
Do what your company A is asking. I don't think that company A would file it for free.
Give it out of your pocket, that is how you bear it, work at a gas station, 7 eleven if you have to make more money to give him
Is the 45 day approved labor validity Rule already in place?

Its simple,,fill in form 10c and and form 19 and send it to HR. They should even help you get it direct deposit in to your local account in India. I got mine....it was pain-less. This was not with tcs,,,another company...
My case is not simple but i did not quit in usa either..i resigned without doing the notice period in india sometime back.
So is it possible to file 10C and 19 directly with the PF office and get the money without involving TCS?
Your ideas are highly appreciated.

I completely understand that nothing is ever going to happen in favor of legal immigrants. However, when I saw what really the dream act meant to do, I just thought we should get some senators involved and aware of the plight about the kids of the legal community too. One of my friend has 2 kids and he has been waiting now for over 6 years every single day of that in perfect legal status. what wrong did the kids do? why dont they compare equal to the ilegal kids who are going to be blessed by this bill if it is passed. I am sure IV might not have enough will for this since many of the leaders might not have kids but atleast look at others who have kids and always face the dreaded scenario of having to uproot them from their schools/friendships in case of immigration-related issues.

Bear in mind the following
You dont need to pay any tax in India for money that you withdraw from your 401k for only upto two years after you return back to india. (your are no longer a nri and the 2 years is the buffer)
For any money you withdraw after 2 years, you need to tay tax in US (which shouldnt be a lot if you withdraw little by little and you being non-resident of usa) and also pay tax in india (which could be quite a bit)
If you have GC then you can take out ur 401k in 2 installments (because u have RNOR status for 2 years) and file tax as a resident in USA (because of GC).
If you don't have GC then please take all ur 401k in one shot in the year you leave. Otherwise you'll pay 10% penalty and then 30% tax to USA because you will be a Non resident as for as US is concerned in the next year.

this is the response I got from our company attorney..
If you use your EAD to work part time for another employer, then you would no longer be in H-1B status. However, the H-1B petition would remain valid but you would not be in H-1B status (your stay in the US would be as an applicant for adjustment).

Hello,
One of the clients is not considering EAD as a valid document to enter their facilities. Funny thing is their security team are ok if you have valid visa and I94 but not EAD.
I think this is more of ignorance about EAD.
Can some provide doucumentation which says discrimination of EAD is violation of Law? or some thing that says EAD is a valid document to work adn stay in the country.
You can show them I-9 form where it list EAD as acceptable document for proof of employment eligibility.

guys, I appreciate the Mr Zoe's gesture , but I dont really think fees is a big issue here. If a company pays, its not an applicants problem. If the applicant pays, few thousand dollars extra will make us any poorer..
The problem is the huge backlog, 140000 limit, per country limit, visas being wasted while ppl wait for years.....
She has so much power, she should lobby for visa recapture
I don't think the main goal of Ms Lofgren is to lower the fees. She tries to find out what USCIS is going to do with the extra money, something they haven't been clear about. If it was about the fees, she could have proposed this bill weeks ago. The timing (at the last day the old fees were valid) is intended to put more pressure on the USCIS, because they will have to start refunding applicants if the bill is approved and they don't provide the information asked for.

New OPT rule says that you should not be unemployed for more than 90 days on OPT. Since you are on OPT, you are not out of status. You need to find a new job ASAP.
If your H1 was approved, do you have the receipt number? Since its already counted against the cap, and if your employer does not cancel it, then you can technically transfer it to another employer. Talk to your employer about this.
You will need approved petition or receipt number to transfer H1.
As such you do not need H1 due to new rule on OPT, however; you need to check if the H1 was applied for change of status? If it is a change of status application, you need to probably inform USCIS that you will not be changing status to H1.

Thanks, crystal. But what would happen if I wait now and just say, hypothetically, my I-140 is denied?
I will apply for extension based on your labor certificate for one year, if your i140 is denied your extension is still valid and you can refile i140.
To me applying for extention is covering your risk...better safe then sorry especially due to some body elses fault.
What if you donot apply and you donot get EAD by Jan 08, you can still stay legally but wont be able to work without EAD.
