Thanks in Advance,

If PA members can't make it to the rally, I suggest that members can atleast cheer and meet up with other members who are in transit (eg, provide moral support, refreshments, by meeting at some rest area in MD or DE)

I just transferred to a new employer in my 7th year. All you need is a copy of the approved I-140.
DO not give a notice to your current employer until the new H1 is approved. Also, apply for premium processing.

You are eligible to work as soon as you receive the receipt notice. So I don't see a big gap.

The school actually asked to use them.
Yes, same experience with us. The school had some evaluators and they are the only ones that are considered, so check with the university for the list first.

Thanks for link. I do not see my friend's employer who is currently facing lawsuit by an employee. I ensured the same by verifying with her.
You need to be aware that there are state and federal laws. Usually complaints are filed with state DOL when employer did not pay salary or performed unlawful deduction. If employer violates H1B/GC laws, you can complain to federal DOL. The same story with filing complaint with the state court or federal court.

Ok .. let me give you the math before getting to the question: )
Looking at the numbers from USCIS: http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Structure/3rd%20Level%20(Left%20Nav%20Children)/Green%20Card%20-%203rd%20Level/Pending%20Form%20I485%20Reports.pdf
140 k GC numbers every year
85% available for folks in US, which is 199k
Out of these 119 k visas available, 40k are Eb3 category ..
10% for country .. so India's numbers should be 4000 a year
There are 14000 Eb3 visas before mine
Out of these 4750 are from India
So maybe I get the GC in 1 year 2 months?
Starting from? next Oct 10, meaning GC in Dec 11?
7170 visa should be given this year with the Apr 01 cut off .. so roughly 7000 Eb3 visas available so in all probability I should get it next year Dec 10?
What is confusing is this?
As per the latest visa bulletin .. the Eb3 cut off for all countries is around jun 02
And there are about 14k eb3 numbers till Jun 02.. so isn't the cut off be something like Dec 03 .. as current date .. since that's what 40k GC numbers add to?
If 40k GC's available for Eb3 for 2009 ... why is the cut off date Jun 02 .. which accoutns for only 14k GC's?

I tried to educate some of the university students( MS) about our issue. They dont
even care! Its seems like, they think, somebody else will take care of this
Its bound to happen. Everyone thinks others will do it, and they dont care(dont want to make any efforts) even though they really want GCs from their inside. Howver we will still find some people who care for this cause and will join the group. so its worth trying.
thanks again for at least trying.

Below is a step-by-step procedure explaining how your Adjustment of Status case will be processed. You should read this entire process before beginning any of the Steps. In particular, you may want to review some of the Miscellaneous Issues in the process. Please follow the procedures exactly to insure both efficiency and effectiveness in your case. If you have any questions, please contact the attorney and/or paralegal handling your labor certification or I-140 case.
STEP #1:
Please compile the following documentation for yourself and each family member who will be immigrating with you i.e. spouse and children born abroad. You will note that some of these documents may already be in our files, however, we may have received those earlier copies from a variety of sources and are not always able to determine the chain of custody demanded by the 485 process. Therefore we are requesting that you provide all documents listed below. Please mail it at your earliest convenience to the attorney handling your labor certification and immigrant petition case.
a) A copy of all approval notices received from the USCIS
b) A copy of all I-94 cards (received upon entry into the U.S.); I-20's (issued if you were ever in F-1 status in the U.S.); IAAP's (issued if you were ever in J-1 status in the U.S.)
c) A copy of every page of the passport
d) A copy of your marriage certificate
e) A copy of the divorce decree from any previous marriages of yourself or your spouse
f) A copy of the birth certificate for each family member adjusting status with you

DOCUMENT TRANSLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TO OBTAIN A COPY OF A BIRTH CERTIFICATE, MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE OR DIVORCE DECREE
ALTERNATE DOCUMENTATION (This is necessary when a Birth Certificate is not available or when the Birth Certificate does not list the name of the child or both names of the parents.)
STEP #2
Complete Form G-325, Biographic Information, on yourself and on behalf of each family member who will be adjusting with you.
Instructions for completion of Form G-325:
-Please print legibly. Our legal staff must be able to read your hand-written G-325.
-Although the USCIS does not require the G-325 for children under the age of 14, our staff needs the information in order to complete other forms.
-In order to access the G-325 form you must have "Adobe Acrobat Reader" software. If necessary, you may first download this free software.
-You do not need to sign the G-325, we will type out new forms for you to sign.
-You do not have a “File Number” or “A Number”. Please leave those fields blank.
FORM G-325
Special Note: You will notice that two copies of this form appear as PDF files. Please only complete one copy of this form for each family member.

MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES IN ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS
COMPARISON OF ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS VERSUS CONSULAR PROCESSING
Adjustment of status is the process whereby a foreign national obtains permanent residence while physically present in the United States. In contrast, consular processing is the procedure for obtaining permanent residence at a United States Consulate outside of the United States. Generally, it is preferable to file your case under the I-485 Adjustment of Status process. If you are interested in having your case filed as a Consular Processing case, please contact the attorney handling your case immediately.
MEMO COMPARING ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS AND CONSULAR PROCESSING
EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION
After a foreign national files the Adjustment of Status application he can continue to work on the basis of his H or L nonimmigrant status assuming that status has not expired. Adjustment of status applicants also have the option of filing for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) either at the time of filing the I-485 or anytime after obtaining the I-485 Receipt Notice. In essence, the applicant needs either the H or L nonimmigrant status or the Employment Authorization Document but does not need both. However, an adjustment applicant with a valid nonimmigrant status may want to obtain an Employment Authorization Document to allow him to work an additional job.
The spouse and children of the adjustment of status employee may obtain an Employment Authorization Document either at the time of filing the I-485 or anytime after obtaining the I-485 Receipt Notice. As such, the spouse and children can work for any employer.
A foreign national can extend his H or L status even after filing the I-485 application.
TRAVEL DURING THE ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS PROCESS
A person may travel after filing the Adjustment of Status application if s/he holds either of the following:
• A valid H or L visa stamp in the passport, or
• Advance Parole authorization
If a person applies for advance parole (either because he does not have a valid H or L visa or simply because he prefers to have advance parole) then the advance parole authorization will be valid for a one year period and will permit multiple entries into the United States.
OUT OF STATUS / UNLAWFUL PRESENCE
If you have been out of status or unlawfully present at any time, it is imperative that you contact your attorney immediately. To do otherwise may jeopardize your continuing status in the United States and/or may prove to be a bar in traveling or adjusting your status to that of Permanent Resident.
I would like to know if the processing of AOS application is based on first come first processed or is it based on the priority dates ?
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks all who replied to my thread. I am contacting Air France regarding this transit crap. I will post my experience on this forum, when I get answer from Airline.
One thing is for sure, I will never again travel by Air france, BA and Lufthansa.
I do not see why anyone should not travel on Air France or Lufthansa. You are not changing airports at Paris or Frankfort. So there is no requirement for a visa. It seems to be a simple one.

Hello all,
Could someone who are recently travelled via London Heathrow, please let me know what all should be done in order to obtain the DATV visa?
My flight stops there for under 2 hours (for cleaning and refuelling), and I was told I need to get the DATV since my visa expired and my approved AP alone is not enough.
Though I have gone through the required websites, i would still appreciate info from any one who recently experienced getting the DATV and travelling via London. Do I need to send I-485 receipt notice original and EAD as well?
Or is it enought to send the online application, passport, photo and AP originals?
Is there anyway to do everything in person, including handing over documents?
Also, it would be great if you could let me know how long it took to get the visa and your documents back!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you all very much !

Has anybody recently applied for a Schengen Visa, if yes, can you please let me know what you did for the travel insurance. The insurance from my employer (Humana) says they cover international but do not have a letter that states the same and Swedish consulate website says the letter should specifically say "International Coverage".
What are my options. Can you guys suggest where I can buy the insurance from.
Talk to some senior guy in Humana. They have three templates. One of them has International Coverage in it. I had this problem in 2005. I was able to get the letter after talking his supervisor.

I see no harm in contacting him; but your excitement about Chandrasekharan seems curious to me. When people who have themselves immigrated from India (who now have GC/citizenship) are so indifferent about us, how can you expect a second generation indian journalist to "understand" our problems ? He does not seem to have done any articles on immigration; so there is no objective way for us to say whether he is really sympathetic to us or not.
Remember that even anti-immigration organizations like numbersUSA have lots of members who are immigrants themselves or have immigrant parents.
Any comments from Core Team regarding contacting Rajiv ? His parents are immigrants from India,so he will understand the sufferings of legal immigrants !
I think it is better to contact him.

Yes, in my case we wouldn't be using the experience gained with the current employer as I already have the required 1 year experience before joining the employer.
My fear is that DOL/USCIS would come back and say hey you have almost the same requirement for both the positions, why does one require only MS+1 while the other accepts BS+3..
