I do not support "Paid membership". I support "Recurring Contribution". Ultimately it is money but at basic definition both concepts are completely different. Other thing, restricting access to the informative threads, definately not a good idea.
It will not match the basic theme with what we have initiated our struggle. Yes, for dedicted ones, to recognize their
continuous zeal ad cooperation different methods and means can be thought out but that should not be the restricting informative threads to fence sitters...Ultimately we support "open and free"

Whether to remain in H1b status is a personal choice. There are a lot of considerations in this. Whether you want to change employers, whether you want to take on an extra job, whether your spouse wishes to move from H4 to EAD and get a job. How shaky your job situation and petition are.
Generally however, if you have had your 140 approved, have your receipt notices and have gone through the fingerprinting/security checks and it has been a long time pending where it is likely your 485 has been through the initial internal processing, then punishing yourself by not availing yourself of the relative employment freedom that the EAD offers might be considered too timid. However, that is just a view, it is essentially an individual choice based on your circumstances. Many people often stay in the H1 status until it expires if things are going OK, as not "rocking the boat" seems like the path of least resistance in times of uncertainty. When the time comes for H1b renewal however, other issues like, cost, waiting time etc come into play, and I have seen many people then choosing to just go with EAD/AP which as someone pointed out they often have already. Then as time passes, they figure, oh well since I'm on EAD/AP already I might as well go for another similar job. As months and years go by in this 485 limbo, these type of choices become more and more necessary.
Then you hear about issues like this and you wonder whether EAD means anything in this country and feel H1b might be better.

I'm just pointing out some issues in this debate. Each person should perhaps discuss this with their lawyer before making a decision. Most folks here are in for waiting times of years absent congressional intervention. Once congress is adjourned for the year and end of year appropriation bills are completed, not much is likely to happen before 2009 summer at the earliest, implying 2010 by implementation. That said, perhaps this should weigh into considerations as well, I mean 2 1/2 more yrs is a big deal and may be worth the small risk.
Of course we all hope for something before that, however we also need to be realistic and see that this retrogression monster hit in 2005 and 2 1/2 yrs later we have got no proper fix to the retrogression issue, more awareness yes, but the political climate is very difficult.

I don't care when i would get the Green card. what i want is interim relief (AP and EAD). Something is better than Nothing.
Can your spouse work? ...yes
What will be her status if she uses EAD?.... GRAY area no one knows
What if you get GC first and some problem with your wifes petition?....Gray area no one knows
What if your wife is on F1 (got EAD and AP) and she graduates waiting for a long time for GC ..can she jump to another status ...Gray area..If yes any problem with her status...no one knows
Can you start business on EAD...GRAY area no one knows
Do you think they will allow you to travel on H1 all the time if you have AP... for some luck ones yes but for some others nope...they are forced to use AP..
Its much horrible after getting EAD and AP and waiting....
Well you will realize " Nothing is better than nonsense...interim state"
Its good to have EAD and AP but its not worth waiting for so long after you get them.
We were successful in bring in some change...why don't we work a little bit more to fix the system and get the GC faster..
"Jab Loha garam hein..tabhi kuch karneka hein...whatever...
All i want to state is lets continue...and dont give up until tere is improvement with the GC

It won't help, if everyone starts porting, EB-2 queue will face a similar situation. Porting doesn't happen soon either. With delays in I-140 processing, it may be close to 2 years before you could file for a fresh I-485 with a request to port the EB-3 priority date. Note, this is a grey area and doesn't guarantee you the old PD. If the company is willing to foot the bill, go for it or else IMO it is not worth spending your own money.
Legislative or Administrative fix is our best option. We should focus on the recapture bill and other initiatives by IV, contribute and participate in the action items. We, as a community should raise enough money for lobbying etc.,
If you stay in EB3-I then you are the last one to get the VISA. If you port it to EB2-I then you put EB3-ROW behind and you get in line first in EB2-I bcoz you will have older PD.

Looking at discussion going on here, its sure that IV have financial problems & only 5% (of total 8000 members) are contributing for the cause. Now, if we restrict IV website for "paid" visits, dont you think that IV membership is reduced by 95% to only 400 paying members?
Instead of making "Paid" web site, I think Moderators needs to delete derogatory posts & block such userids.

People, since Aman and lets not forget other core members also who I am sure have racked up a lot of out of pocket cost we as a community should gather funds for administrative cost also. GC is not just Aman's/ pappu/logiclife and others core member's dream...its OUR dream, and its not fair that in spite of knowing the time and money spent by the core members we donot share the burden.
So here is what I am thinking, there are 21000+ members of which I think 10,000 can be considered the real people (I am sure there are more..but a real conservative estimate) if we all pitch in $10 for administrative cost I think it would not put any dent in our pockets and this collective effort would not create a financial burden on any of the core members.
Even though IV is not for profit, there is no rule which says that you cannot have funds for administrative cost. In fact one rule of thumb to give to any NOP charitable organization like united way etc is to look at their admin cost. Why not IV have that.
Any thoughts!
Lets not make this a core team fight only...people are jumping in the boat and asking all and any question they can..and when it comes to giving money they will say that..oh I cant no money...I am not a rich guy my self but managed to give $200 and now signed up for $50 yesterday...looking at what a lot of people are doing I think I might have to go to $100.

If I-485 is already pending with old EB-3 india I-140, then no need to apply new I485.
IF I485 was not field for some reason due to delays in backlog processing or PERM audits, then one needs to apply for new I485 alongwith new approved I-140.

That's interesting...from my visits to various threads and from wait times of my friends (3 to precise) who recently got naturalized, the average time after receipt of N-400 to taking oath is around only 4 to 5 months.
Good to know, thanks. Maybe we were reading different threads :) One thing though, because of the heavy rush of citizenship filing in 2007, combined with the election-year pressure of 2008, petitions were fast-tracked in recent years. There are so many confounding factors, anything is possible.

Below is the text for Waivers.. My understanding is that if end Client gives a letter to DOL stating that they don't layoffs due to this H1B and it is a temp. labor requirement etc.. It is still harsh considering anti-immigration climate.. What is feared asked in a Visa interview will be asked by DOL for extensions. So, H1B can't be on an auto-pilot mode..
``(I) the employer with whom the H-1B nonimmigrant would be placed has not displaced, and does not intend to displace, a United States worker employed by the employer within the period beginning 180 days before and ending 180 days after the date of the placement of the nonimmigrant with the employer;
``(II) the H-1B nonimmigrant will not be controlled and supervised principally by the employer with whom the H-1B nonimmigrant would be placed; and
``(III) the placement of the H-1B nonimmigrant is not essentially an arrangement to provide labor for hire for the employer with whom the H-1B nonimmigrant will be placed.
the big consulting companies (IBM/Deloitte/Accenture et al) will try to get a waiver by showing the 3 conditions above - however, they need to do so every time a current assignment for their H1B employer ends and they need to place them on a new assignment / client. At that time they need to go through the waiver again, to determine whether the end client has had any layoffs in the last 180 days.
In short this bill is a disaster for ALL CONSULTING companies that have a large H1B population.

I have talked to IMG sales rep, he said they won't cover for pre existing conditions. He also said that as far as his knowledge is concerned there is no company out there that covers pre existing conditions when I asked him about it.
My final assumption is that any insurance we buy anywhere, just covers illnesses that are developed after the coverage starts.
Any corrections??
