Thanks bro for great information.
however, I have some questions. You say that the officer told you that your AP was approved on Oct 1, 2007. Did you see a LUD change that day in your status. If you did, what did it say. I ask because I got a LUD change on our AP on Nov 2 but the message is still the same as it was when i got the receipt notice. No mention of AP approved.
Ans: Yes, I already mentioned that in my write up. First (and only)LUD change happened for me on 10/1*/2007 and that is the approval date as per lady officer in USCIS. During LUD change message content never changed for me and still it is the same which is as under. so currently I have not received physical AP papers yet and on line status still does not show our AP aaproved yet I found our APs are approved during this infopass appointment.
Receipt Number: LIN*******
Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: Case received and pending.
September 1* we received your application .....
My recetip date is August 14, and NOtice date is Oct 2, 2007. SO the TExas website states 3 months. Is it 3 months after notice date or receipt date.
I have heard people getting their AP without their online status being changed. Is this true. Anyhows, I have yet to go and do my finger prints. It is scheduled for Nov 21. Maybe they need to wait for finger print to before the AP is approved. or is this not the case.
Anyhows, comments are appreciated.
Thanks

Also, as you mentioned in your post, the CFR is not a law, it is an interpretation of law made by the agencies and the agencies are free to change the applicability, extension, conditions of eligibility for EAD as they seem fit.
I'm afraid there I may disagree with you -- it is not clear that the CFR can be amended at will, or all the time, by the agencies. Most amendments to the CFR come from "public laws" such as the amendments that came about due to AC21.
(i) This discretion of the agency thing can cut both ways. According to the GAO report, http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d0620.pdf -- see page 22
"In July 2004, USCIS published an interim rule in the Federal Register that allows it more flexibility in establishing the length of validity for Employment Authorization Documents (EAD).Previously, federal regulations required USCIS to limit the time EADs were valid to 1 year for specific types of applicants who applied for employment authorization..... Although the flexibility to set the length of EAD validity is available, USCIS is currently restricting its EAD validity periods to 1 year."
So there is a great to deal to be said for forcing the hand of an agency -- as AC21 did in enabling portability, extensions of visas etc.
(ii) Plus as a matter of practical reality -- do you imagine the moving like slow molasses USCIS/DOS/DOL are more persuadable than fire and brimstone congresspeople? :)
We can certainly toss this out at our next set of meetings, and see if our fate is better served at the hands of USCIS bureaucrats than Congress.

So let me guess, your parent applied under 245(i) in 2001 and thats why you have aged out. No thanks, that 245(i) amnesty has caused us enough problems with the labor certification backlogs.
What was 245(i) amnesty?...just curious
Also, It is a big concern for me when when some EB visa holder's kid age out and is left out of the process. If someone can show me that this so called dream act will help in that, i will support it and do my part.
But Iam not getting on the field to bat for an illegal.

u can easily get an affadavit from someone with a business that says u worked there for a period of x days while ur h1 was with yyy company... that puts u into an illegal category too.
i m growing some tomatoes this summer....maybe i can get additional points if i grow them for 100 days every year and then after another 5 yrs i can get some more points in the new merit based system
Well they will easily find out from your SSN number if one is on payroll or not. I am seriously looking into this matter of getting illegal and many of my friends agree. Once the bill passes in its current form we should get advise from a good lawyer to convert status from legal to illegal. It sounds so insane when I say changing for legal to illegal..but that is the hit thing these days.

There are many people from these Indian Outsourcing companies who are switching to US comanies or even to local desi bodyshopping companies for various reasons...Like the ones below
1) If you are in US onsite, there is no guarantee that you would be onsite for the prolonged period you want. When the business need arises, you will have to go back at short notice. Most of the people quit these companies in US due to that reason alone.
2) They don't process GCs in general (very limited cases....)
3) Chances are that one may make more money based on the skill-set
However, if people continue to believe that these companies are just sort of "glorified body shoppers", nothing stops them.
But outsourcing is increasingly preferred by US corporates & these outsourcing companies are only going to prosper.....
Just the fact that you make more money outside is a proof of underpay.
also I read few months back that out of some 70K SWITCH ppl in usa, they filed GC for less than 100 employees. Do you think only 100 out of some 70K H1B wanted GC??? Another proof that they do not want their employees to move ahead.
Any way you argue, the truth is SWITCH is a glorified bodyshopper.
and that too glorified in india by indian media, not by US media.

Illegals will lobby hard now for discrimination against Z category and come up with amendment, not to allow employers to ask for their status. For sure they will get this one under the protection act of discrimination.
Employers will not be allowed to asked the status. You are supposed to give your Z-plastic card after you accept the offer and the prospective employer accepts you. If he fires you since you are Z-class, then you are eligible to sue the employer for 1 mil $$. These are the amendments that will be passed along with this stuppp...d CIR.
GO ILLEGALLLL is the message for everyone. By the way, dont forget to get your parents / sisters / grand father / etc just few days before this law passes. Throw the passport away and let them claim that they are here for the past few years.
I was thinking how to get a high tec job with Z visa. Because you might need to tell the employer that you are on Z visa. Tech employer might be hesitent to give us job on Z visa.
But you can start a new company and do consulting. You do not need to tell them what status you are in. All they need to know is you are a employee XYZ company.

I support this action item.
Here is my story. I came to US in 2001 and was able to get the visa stamping done in US twice. My visa expired in 2005. Since the revalidation in US is stopped in 2004, i did not go to India until i received my AP in 2007. This is because i know couple of friends (brothers) who were stuck in India for almost 3 months when they went for marriage in 2005. So i decided not to take the risk. I went to India in 2008 and returned back on AP.
Now i cannot use AP anymore because my I140 was denied by USCIS. This is for sure an error by USCIS. In the denial letter they said my company applied for X number of green cards which is not true. Green cards applied by the company are too low compared to the number provided by the USCIS. My appeal is pending at AAO. If the revalidation of visa can be done in US, i can get it stamped and visit the family in India instead of waiting for the decision on the appeal.

If I try to use my AC21 then does title matter?
Example:
new offer has a title of "Lead software engineer".Current position is "Systems
Engineer".
...
Iad
USCIS is not just working on technical people; and they themselves are not technical people. Therefore, just try to have description of new job as close to the original description in LC, as possible (use same words). It is a subjective area. Both titles point out that you are some sort of software engineer, so, I belive, it should be ok. Try to avoid "managing" or "suprervising" in your new job description if it was not in the original description.

I would like to know How to file a complaint about labor fraud? I just found out that my employer didn't file 485 for me and instead he used the labor for someone else. Is there anyway I can file a complaint? I have no other option except to wait until the dates are current again. I paid all the expenses for labor, 140 and 485.

Final Q, how long it took from day1 of EB2 filing to filing I140 this week ?
My PERM was filed on 30th March, approved on Aug 11th, received approval copy on 18th Aug, and I-140 to be filed this week.
There was a lot of prep work involved before filing PERM in March. My employer agreed to start the process in Oct'09 and the lawyers started the ads in early Jan.

amitjoey, Thanks. I have sent a request to my senator yesterday and also mailed them all the copies of the documents. Just hoping that will also help. I was told that my file is already assigned to an IO and you will soon hear from USCIS. "Soon" in USCIS dictionary seems to be 30 to 45 days and thats very scary s that means it will about 130 days. I am just hoping they will approve soon. After approving it seems they are taking additonal 30 days to print the card.

This is by far the best action item i have seen so far (because it feels like it can be done by administrative change). I Support it 100% .
A REQUEST TO IV CORE:
Please start a letter campaign: I have been long trying to figure out who exactly is the decision maker for this policy. It would be a great help if we all know where to send the letter and who should we address to...
First all gather here with relavent information. Then we can draft a letter and send to DOS and congressmen/senator.

My take on this situation....ask your freind to apply for concurent H1b's..it works out well with concurent wives...!!!!:):):) He can bring one wife on each visa..!!!!
Yeah right! Do you really think that these women would qualify for skilled labor under H1?
Anyway, they could try getting their LCA with following information and apply for H1.
Client � Husband
List of duties - Nagging, sobbing, yelling, demanding, gossiping, fighting, scolding, complaining, irritating, urging, nerve-racking, tormenting, annoying, upsetting
Work location � His peace of mind
Work duration � Equivalent to his lifespan
Prevailing wage - Equivalent to his entire earnings
Finally a kind hearted IO might think that they are really something and approve the petition ;).

It looks like guys from AP are running away from all the mess their state is currently in. On one hand there's that YSR's son trying to create havoc for the ruling Govt. His dad and himself being the most corrupt politicians the state has ever seen. On the other hand, there's this filthy congress high command trying to counter him. Its like CORRUPT1 vs CORRUPT2 trying to get the throne so that they can remain CORRUPT. And in the wings are parties like TDP, TRS and PRP --- Really, is there a political party in AP (or even India) where one can call it corrupt free? ha ha

I believe Mbhai did a dis-service by negating good advice. What is the guarantee that the 2nd women that this guy marries will not ask for divorce? The best thing he can do is find a way to reconcile, unless there is marital infidility.
I believe "snathan" story was inspiring and addressed the true problem of that individual and every indivudual's life. Trust me, when you all get your GC's ...it will be these things that will matter to all of you, rather than anything else.

Dont lose hope. I am on H4 since 2000 too and been out of workforce ever since. I had 6 years of prior experience. Now, I have a job offer(non IT) and the company is planning to sponsor my H1 this April. Keep applying and something will work out.
