let's discuss effective ways forward rather than the pessimistic tone I see here.
Bestin: the core is involved. Some of the core are just very busy on IV stuff. I spoke with Aman last week he called me from the airport -- a trip to DC. Some people are cagey about handing out personal details and while it is frustrating let's have some respect. I'm one of the few who puts their full name in signature, and my user id is my name, and I say I'm from NY, so it only takes a telephone directory search to find my phone number and address. But you won't hear me calling people names for not giving contact details. Some people are more reserved than others, for example, my wife used to live in a communist police state where the state was out to get you, so she is more reserved. Frustrating I know. Enough said, let's look for positive things to do.
SO ON THE POSITIVE SIDE:
I got another 33 letters this week, and expect about same next week, and have 2 US citizens who will likely get me another 20. So I might make 100+.
My total in hand so far: 43
I'd be happy to continue for several weeks or months, but will go with what the core decides for drawing the line.
TIP:
Where you know someone who works at a different place to you ask them to collect some letters from their work place and give them to you or mail them to you. I'm expecting to get at least 20 that way next week alone, maybe more later.

Constangy, Brooks and Smith in North Carolina (I live in MD and we have never met each other)
This is the law firm i am using and i have nothing but excellent things to say about them. I am convinced that they truly care about thier clients. They have worked weekends to file my AOD/EAD/TA on time + as soon as the recent "july bulletin filp-flop" occured, they filed my H1B/H4 extension immediately so i could be eligble for a 3 year extension (as opposed to one). My employer pays them, but they work directly with me.
Attorney: Penni Bradshaw
Paralegal: April Shepherd (she is the one who worked with me the entire time - even gave me her cell number so i could reach her outside office hours!)
Telephone:
336.721.1001
Good luck.

I second you on that.But we must keep in mind,we know the law before coming here .Every immigration lawyer wants H4 law to be changed but, you know "USCIS".. they have handsfulll.
But even knowing what H4 entails is not so much helpful. Only when you experience it on your own, you realize what a bad move that was.
E.G. If I knew the time in H1/H4 is counted together I would not have accepted moving every 3-6 months with my husband on his projects. I would have done everything to get my H1 in my first year here and my husband would stay and change H1 sponsors every year if need be.
But no, it had to go other way.
Several imm lawyers misguided me in this H1/H4 time matte, until it was literally too late. Hiring time in my profession is tied to the beginning of the school year when all H1 visas are long long gone.
I was getting offers when I cannot get a visa and vice versa. Not a single school district wants to tend an offer 9-12 months in advance...
And - well, you all now how the story goes from there. We cannot buy a house, we cannot start our business, .....I guess we are just fed up with 'no - you can't do that' answer, every time we want to do something with our lives.
This 'on hold' situation lasts too long.
I am only staying here to further my professional education and benefit as much as I can, so that in the end the trade off is not going to be so bad..
......
7 years ago, when my hubby and I had enough of civil war in our home country, we were almost ready to send our papers under SW category and move to Canada.
As luck would have it, his H1 went through faster then we imagined, so we ended up in the US. I wish we had a foresight to go ahead with Canadian PR as soon as we came here. We would have been both much better off, already citizens, profesionally more satisfied and happy.

They will definitely accept the copies of the check. The reason I applied my I-140 in May 07 and didn't got any receipt and I intend to file PPS for which I require copy of I-140 but when I talked to the customer service they suggested me this solution and after that I got my check photocopies from my employer
neeraj,
if the employer does not give u the check then we cant send check copies. :-(

I agree. The PD for Oct' Bulletin will probably somewhere in mid-end of 2003 and i don't think it'll ever go back to Current .... So what happens to all the 2006,2007 applications ???
EB3/ PD May 2003
My lawyer says they will, most probably, send all the applications back. However, at this point they are not sure what will happen to all the applications, if they don't send back. He sais we will wait some time for more updates from USCIS.
I think 2006, 2007 applications will also come back. Since people from 2002 and 2003 are still waiting, applicants from 2006 and 2007 can just lay back and relax for a while now!

We talk about how we contribute to the US economy. I don't think there are buyers to this argument. If there were, we would have seen something similar to what happened to the nurses. We would have seen some concrete relief by now. With all the great work IV did and its members did, there is nothing.
Let us fact it. We need GCs and we have waited for x years. Now that only seems to be illusion that may happen some day, many years from now. Have we contributed to this country. Yes in many folds.
Will the US govt provide relief. Probably not. They will certainly
raise H1bs as they need more contributors to SS. All this SKIL etc is just to keep us going for a few more years. After a few more years, many will give up, but get used to living the way we live now. We just wont have the energy to complain. After a while it is human nature, at least in most cases to accept. If we accept we will continue here hoping, some day GC will happen. I believe the majority will fall into this category. There maybe a few who will leave. But then there will be thousand more new H1b coming in to do the work, chasing the GC illusion, contributing to SS, buying cars, paying rents keeping the economy going. The lawyers will make money. Employers will get indentured workers. The economy will benefit from their productivity. So all concerned except you and me will be OK.
They understand the circle of life better than you and I do. It is about time we understand this. Once this sinks in, we will make the right choice, whet ever that maybe.

Folks,
It is very important for everyone to comprehend the difference between a litigation attorney & your regular immigration attorney.
Your regular immigration attorney understands immigration law and will file your paper work, follow up with CIS, etc. Litigation attorneys handle litigation - they argue in court and fight for you.
The two are completely different practice areas from what I have seen. Most of the cases that we come across are the regular Immigration Attorneys who will not go to trial if things get tricky.
Please remember this.

While I am happy for you about your canadian experience.
I am unable to understand the need to contradict yourself ?
"Saw the myths and tragedy of US GC process very closely. Didn't want to spoil peace of life and my hard earned money with USCIS and lawyers........But I can go out of Canada and enter any time and as many time as I want. Can you do that too????
......you’ll succeed anywhere in this world, be it in US, Canada or Australia. Don’t blame it on a country, but look at yourself."
I had been there in US for 7 yrs (3 yrs in L2->1yr out of US->4 Yrs in H1B). Saw the myths and tragedy of US GC process very closely. Didn't want to spoil peace of life and my hard earned money with USCIS and lawyers:mad:. Didn’t look at the US GC application and applied for Canadian PR. Came to Canada with PR last year from US. Peacefully settled in Toronto with nice job and benefits, bought my brand new car 4 months back. Nice and friendly people and government. Happy to be in Canada. No more stamping issues, tons of junk paper works, consulate visit PA and wired look from immigration officers at POE…. enough…. I am not going back to US even for a visit in next 5 yrs..…
But I can go out of Canada and enter any time and as many time as I want. Can you do that too???? :D
To those who are portraying wrong picture of Canada, all I can say, if you have skills, personality and capability, you’ll succeed anywhere in this world, be it in US, Canada or Australia. Don’t blame it on a country, but look at yourself.
Just my 2 cents.

Is there anyway we could go about pushing our story in the media? I am sure all of us combined have a a few thousand bachelor's, master's and ph.d. degrees. We are a group of people with highly advanced skill sets and this needs to be advertised. Maybe convincing a few journalists to take up our cause could be an option. Local newspapers, political blogs, radio stations etc. etc.
IV has been doing this already! Please join your state chapter, and help continue doing it. Thanks!

What does the introduction of SKIL bill in House mean to us? i.e. what are the likely scenarios from here on? Thanks in advance.
It seems tough to have this being passed unless CIR dies. Only 10 weeks are left for any bill to be debated and passed by both houses. In my opinion it is very difficult. I would personally wait to hear opinion about this bill by legal experts and media. It is too early to speculate on its failure or success.
btw. If Uma Thurman endorses this Skil Bill it will definitely get passed!!

Hi Prince,
I went thru posts on other forums with I 485 denials after 180 days of filing. In almost all the cases, people filed MTR and their I 485 was re-instated back to normal after that. You should be fine after filing the MTR with the help of attorney.
I know these 15-20 days will be hard for you. Hang on. I had the same experiance when there an RFE on my I 140.

If we are educated and highly skilled that doesnot mean that we deserve automatic benefits.
In USA, political system works on coalition. If you help others then they help you in time of need.
How many of us have helped others without thinking "what is in it for me". I have seen people who are stuck in FBI Name Check and they dont help people with F1, H1, GC issue, so when one gets what (s)he wnats, everyone else is ignored.
If we want to stay in USA, then we have to leave our sofas and help other ogranizations in their cause. you don't have to agree with everything they say, but some things can always be agreed upon.
This is what I learnt from Congressman Keith Ellison.
So be part of political process at every level..city, state, etc..
Then when time comes and you need help, you will have people behind it..

Problems will not go away. Such incidents may happen elsewhere or in the same place.
If Air France was genuine they should have made everyone stay in the same place or atleast talk to theie department of immigration and arrange a temporary supervised visa and take all people to the hotel.
They just did not care
Can't agree with you more. Screw them and never fly with them. Then they will realize what it means. I don't see any issues with on spot transit visas in such circumstances. What if there was a terrorist attack on airport? They will still ask for transit visas for Indians to get outside airport? Best is avoid Europe at all costs and fly direct. Avoid any city in between including middle eastern cities.
