desi9333 thanks for the link. Nice one - even though it covers only Hiring practices, and not opportunities for promotions and progression.
The "Opportunity" usage has been explained much beyond Hiring in the other laws and related documents. Hence, an employee who subsequently faces discrimination because he/she cannot progress or misses on job advancements due to Visa limit restrictions is certainly being discriminated against.
Its my view and others can differ. I respect all opinions and am thankful to all because it helps improve my reasoning, mutual respect and tolerance abilities.
Back to the subject,
My earlier post on first page this thread has some action items - can anyone here take the lead and convince an attorney to take up the cause?
My cheque shall be sent as soon as the ball gets rolling.

I dropped the letters in my garage yesterday and thought I had picked them all up. But there were few that were hiding under the car. And this morning they came under the wheels :(
Trying to see if they can be revived and cleaned up.

Dear all,
Please assist IV in this important initiative to bring DC's attention to our issues such as processing delays and delays due to retrogression. Who knows what will happen in future about immigration.. I just read that the senate is planning to come up with a commission that will control the legal immigrant limits...
washingtonpost.com (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/23/AR2010052304034.html)
It is all the more important to meet and let the senators know what we are going through so that they may think properly for the future.
I have already contributed a humble $50 for this advocacy initiative and will contribute again in first week of June. Please do your part in helping IV and in turn, yourselves.

Why don't you shut up? along with Logiclife?
Bill O' Rielly does it too. And he is a successful professional. So I guess it is ok to ask someone to shut up.

I am in the same boat too. But I am not sure if we have a whole 1 month to file 485 based on July bulletin.
The press release by USCIS says that, whoever falls under July Bulletin have the whole 1 month to apply. But if we dont get receipts before July 30th, we may not fall under July bulletin and so we would not be able to apply.
From what I understood, if we get the receipt before jUly 30th,we are good, or else we have to find an alternative to apply before July 30.

Thanks. I know I am bugging you with my questions because I am filling all the forms today and sending. I have one question :)
For AP documents, it says we can submit any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status in US. Now, currently I am on H1B. So should I send them my I797 approval document or EAD copy? Also in there instructions they are asking to send copy of an official photo identity document showing your photo, name & DOB? Can it be PP/DL/EAD?
Your status will be shown buy copy of I485 receipt. AP requires the following:
AP renewal e-filing (to be Mailed):
.... Confirmation Page
.... Two pictures with A# on back, put in envelope and staple to confirmation page
.... Copy of I485 Receipt Notice
.... Copy of previous AP
.... Photo Id such as
........ Copy of Biographic Pages of Passport or
........ Copy of DL or
........ Copy of EAD
.... Letter - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=257924&postcount=20

I dont know why people are thinking CIR will be advantageous :
WHat does CIR do :
Lets divide in to Four categories :
1. PPL who has to still enter US
2. PPL who have not started GC
3. PPL whose Labor pending in BEC
4. PPL whose 140 pending or approved.
In each i have not seen advantages but these are disadvantages , please enlighten me about advantages over current system in each cases.
Case -1: THere are enough provisions like Increase in H1B fees, Eliminating contracting etc that would effect and truely we may not be worrying about this in this context.
Case -2: For people who have not stated GC yet , its utter chaos, as per the dates in CIR. Now point system is not tested, there are severe imbalancements , No up system yet in INS , no yet personnel allocation . I dont see any reason INS will be on to this even if passed for atleast 2 years.
Based on this even if people say 5 years or so , no one exactly knows it might even take more than 7 years becoz of initial filing delays , accessing points , etc . What about extensions in H1B , anyways H1B system is so scrwed up consultants will be reduced by atleast 50% , and only survive who can find an work around. after all this High filing will force many out. I dont see anything good with new system. No big diff in Visa allocations to say that it will be faster for ppl. H1B Cant be renewed 3 years. Now is there any advantage over old sytem ? I dont think so .
Case -3: People who were stuck in BEC. Its bigger problem for many people who are renewing H1 based on this. Now that cant do it . SO its again their issue.
Case -4: People who got I140 approved or pending , They wont be effected anyways.
Also there will be labor somewhere as becoz there will be some clause that aims at not displacing any american worker for sure.
===========
With all these there is only one drawback of current system , i.e. backlog. that is not addressed anyways in new system so whats the point?
Only if cantwell amendment finds its place in current form then is a hope in a hurricane else its utter waste.

Dude you asked ALL the wrong questions. Did you not read the part where I specified that they are all CONFUSED out of their SKIN. Its like asking a second grade child if he agrees with the Theory of relativity.
:) I should have asked .. Why the hell USCIS took so long (2 weeks) to screw
our as..s?
And I am sure, If I might have asked that she would have put me on the hold to get an answer from her superior.

If its a transfer, your I-94 "number" will be same. Check to see if you have same I-94 number on any or all or atleast 2 of your I-94's including the one which they provided you at POE "across" any of your employers (1, 2 and X).
You can also check the application receipt date on them.. see if they are around April of those years? Most probably they will be new filings if the receipt date is around April oppose to September or November.
Hope this helps.
Thanks gapala, for your input. will verify it and post it here.

That is true!
As for fee increases big companies do not really get hurt, if they need someone and it costs 5K, in their grand scheme of things its not a big number.
Also I am not sure why people assume Big tech Companies want only H1Bs, thats not true, I have had interactions with various levels where they hate having to go through all these attorneys every H1B renewal and ambiguity about their employees traveling. Ideally they would like to get their employees a GC right after they go through PERM. My group had to withdraw 2 offers for Master's students because they won't be able to get H1b till Oct'2008, and we were not looking for just H1B/F-1 employees, but any fresh Grads.
As for GC numbers, H1B cap of 65K was somewhat of a sweet spot for 140K available. Considering not 100% of H1B's apply, but there are other non H1B EB GC applications. So if we club all these and still keep the number to approx 65K and add dependent factor, this 65K*2.X translates close to 140K. Now increase these to 115K and keep the numbers at 140K and no spill overs from ROW for the Point System. Viola!! We have log jam worse than LA freeways, only now some of the cars will never get to their destination.
With lot of consulting people applying for EAD's and getting GCs, they will not be willing to part their hard earned $s. Not implementing H1 restrictions will give a chance to get fresh meat for these blood sucking so called consulting companies, only this time it could be bonded slaves with GCs not in sight.
Ideally we would like to have all these consultant needing companies start hiring permanent employees and put most of the ill intentioned body shoppers out of business. But with this bill these BS(Body shop) Co will find some loop hole(and trust me, Find it they will) and get lifetime slaves through H1B and suck half their earnings rest of the poor souls life. We are scared of the wrong thing, H1B restrictions, instead of worrying about how trapped and helpless thousands of people will be in clutches of these companies. I would rather these people enjoy the freedom and prosperity of India and China, than living uncertain life here and feeding the Leaches of the system.
And everyone is wondering why they are not fighting these H1 restrictions. They wont, this bill is great for them. Its not their 5K for H1, and it comes with hand-cuffs and shackles.
There, I poured my passions out about this issue. Phew :rolleyes:
You will be surprised that even with the restrictions H1b cap will be reached but not in one day or one month but within an year as demand will be there. These restrictions will impact only Indian bodyshoppers who are running just by H1b. Though H1b will be costly if CIR in the same form is passed but Most of good companies will overcome. So if you want to relative number of gc then you need to increase Gc by atleast 50 to 100% from current level.

First of all,based on the information you provided i believe that
1. You are continuously employed WITHOUT any gap, meaning working 40 hrs/ week and clean history of pay stubs, W2s etc
2. You have been working for only one employer at any given point of time, as a full time employee
IF What i said above is true, then RFE makes no sense. because based on the H1B rules and regulations, one can have multiple H1Bs BUT can only work for ONE employer as full time, meaning 40hrs/week.
It is also completely legal that one can work up to 20hrs/week for second employer by paying proper taxes . but in your case i believe that you have worked for only one employer and i think you can show the evidence.
Please contact your attorney and draft a response carefully
Please correct me if were wrong
Thanks Satya. Your two assumptions are correct.

Yes , its Free :D Anyway - lets talk with a 3rd person (maybe USCIS) and confirm. Its Free, if you read the EAD forms its clearly written that once some one pays $340 ( not other amount) it becomes FREE for ever. I just checked the EAD forms again before writing this post - let me PASTE from EAD forms if that clear the confusion.
Renewal EAD: If this is a renewal application and you
applying under one of the following categories, a filing fee
not required:
1. (a)(8) Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;
3. (a)(11) Deferred Enforced Departure; or
2. (a)(10) Granted Withholding of Deportation;
4. (c)(l), (c)(4), or (c)(7) Dependent of certain foreign government, international organization, or NATO personnel;
5. (c)(9) or (c)(16) adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007.
I did not file for adjustment under fee structure implemented July 30, 2007:
5. (c)(9) or (c)(16) adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007.
I think, filing EAD under new fee structure and Adjustment under new fee structure are technically different.
I wish they are same. If they (USCIS) intend not taking $340 again, they should change the words.
Renewal EAD: If this is a renewal application and you
applying under one of the following categories, a filing fee

1. (a)(8) Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;

I did not file for adjustment under fee structure implemented July 30, 2007:
