$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

If you are having the valid visa, there is no need to go for stamping again. While entering you can show the H1B approval so that you get the I94 till the date on the H1b approval.

I listened intently to President Obama's State of the Union speech yesterday. The man is clearly a gifted orator. He stressed the need for cooperation between Democrats and Republicans on the big issues facing our country: the economy, climate change and health care reform, but where oh where was immigration? Finally, after the President was over one hour into his speech, I heard the word "immigration". One sentence. It came and went so fast that if you turned to your spouse and said, "Okay, here comes the President's plan for immigration reform", you would have missed the whole thing. Here...

You can only stay in the US if you can change to another lawful status. As a UK citizen, the only work-authorized status that might be available, though difficult, is O-1 for extraordinary ability aliens. Please see my website link for a description of different categories: nonimmigrant visas (http://www.martinvisalaw.com/nonimmigrant%20visas.html). If the company won't start the permanent residence process for you, unfortunately you have very limited options.

From the LA Times: A �forgery-proof� worker ID card, secured with biometric data such as fingerprints, is a favored idea of the new chairman of the Senate immigration subcommittee, Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.). Schumer, who will lead the effort to craft the Senate�s comprehensive immigration reform legislation, has publicly espoused the card as the best way to ensure that all workers are authorized. �The ID will make it easy for employers to avoid undocumented workers, which will allow for tough sanctions against employers who break the law, which will lead to no jobs being available for illegal immigrants, which will...

Hi,
I am Vijay Vellabati, finished MS in Dec-06 and I got a job in Jul.
I am in my OPT(Optional Practical training). I did not get to file for my H1-B.
Can my company apply for Green card for me right now.
Because I need to keep my status, my OPT expires in Dec-07.
If anyone can get back to me, I would appreciate that.
Thank you.

Yes, green card is for future employment, your employer can apply for your greencard!!
But usually the greencard process takes so long that it is nearly impossible to get it in a year (the time you have in OPT) so the safe bet is to apply h1b otherwise in US-Masters quota if you have one. And take it from there.
--disclaimer am not a lawyer , seek a professional lawyers opinion.

Hi,
I got H1-B petition (I-797) approved in 2008 but due to recession, I couldn't appear to consulate office. I did not get a chance to work in US for that employer so I don't have any pay stubs for that employer.
The petition is approved till 2011. And now I am planing to either appear for visa stamping or transfering I-797 to any other sponser.
My queries are -
A-Appearing for Visa stamping now after long time is right option or is there any chance of rejection?
B-Since My current employer is not able to employ me there,I want to transfer my I-797. Can It be possible? How much risk is there? If it can be done that what is the process of that please?
C-Since petition is valid till 2011, If I get stamped this year Oct / 2010 what will be duration of visa?
D-Any sponsrs list ?
Thanks,
~Davis

H1b from non-cap to cap cannot be transfered. In order for you to work in private companies, you need to get new H1b by filing in on april 1 st 2009 which will ahve start date of oct 2009. Untill then you are stuck ..!!!
However you can transfer your present H1b to another non-profit h1b. I know the rules sucks..I ahve been in your place and got H1b this time. Can't wait to to get freedom on oct 1st.

12 Million illegal immigrants X atleast 2000 USD lawyer fees for each illegal's paperwork = almost 25 Billion in lawyer fees
AILA's total membership = 10,000 lawyers (including non practising law faculty)
25 Billion dollars divided by less than 10K lawyers, each was going to walk away with a 2.5 million dollar bonanza
Now that it is clear that they will not turn into instant millionaires (believe me, most of them already are), they have suddenly become the EB community's stalwart best friend and are even filing a lawsuit for us because the thought of returning the 2000$ fees for filing 485 is killing them. They may even shed a tear at our sorry plight.

I was trying to find out if one can transfer from b1/b2 visa category to H1- B visa within the valid period of stay(i.e before the expiry of the I-94).
Go out of the country and come back in H1 status, provided you have a valid H1-B. (Can go to Canada also). Otherwise, too many hassles. (non-immigrant vs immigrant intent)
