I agree , especially if it fits majority of them ( and the 'types' of them ).
One needs real diversity in US population. There are too many here from EU.
It's really meaningless for you to keep talking about "too many here from EU". This country is formed by those people from EU(and American Indians) to start with. If you were here two hundred years ago, you were part of them, no one will ask you for GC. Those people who came to this land two hundred years ago and their descendants are now recognized as Americans. They are no longer English, German, French, Italian...etc. They are Americans and this is their country which is called United State of America.
When this country starts the immigration law, does the law say only people from Asia is limited to 7% and not for people from EU ?
If this country today has no limitation with immigration and welcome anyone to come and stay forever at any time. This country will not be a great country anymore and I am sure many of you will not care to come to this land anymore but seek for another place.

Trying to apply AP for spouse, his last entry into US was on F1 but since then he's been through H1 and current status is AOS filed. Should the Class of Admission be F1?
Which I-94 copy should be attached, the one that was stamped when he last entered US, or the latest I-94 he received from his last H1 filing?
Thanks in advance ..

Ombudsman,
I think I have asked this question to you before..
If you want to sound credible with your daily "Reality Bites", first disclose the following:
- which is your country of birth
- what stage is your GC in
- EB1, EB2 or EB3
Also mention the reason why you are so concerned with illegal immigration and other issues that affect the American way of life when it is totally up in the air whether you will be a future stakeholder in this country?
Why would a person who is doubtful to ever be "Green" , be so passionate about being "Red" instead of "Blue" or vice-versa?

No doubt if you have the time, money and opportunity and if you plan to do your masters or your second masters at some point in future, then right now is the time to do it while you are waiting for your GC.
However, you have to be luck to be able to do that as a way to spend the retrogression years constructively.
1. You should have the money to study and maintain yourself/family.
2. Need to have school of decent choice where you live.
3. Need to have a job at same location. Consultants cant have that as they move around from one project to another. You cant change colleges and transfer credits every 6 months as you move from one project to another. Same goes for consultants who are travelling all the time. They cannot do this unless to quit and go fulltime, in which case, the spouse would have to start working to pay the bills and put food on the table.
And what about people who DONT want to do MBA/MS and just want to change employers?
So while a good option, it applies to very few people. If you are one of those few guys, then by all means, go for it.

There has been some discussion about travel outside the US when one files for I-485. I found the official USCIS document (see the right hand side of page 4 on link below) that mentions that if you're on an "H" visa, which is the case for a lot of us, we can travel outside of the US without applying for advance parole.

Hi,
1. I am on L1 with current company A(with current i-94 expiring in Nov 2007). I got my H1 approval this year from consultant B and they got the I-797B. This document shows the validity from Nov 2007-2010. But I have heard people get something called I-797A which has a new I-94 attached to it and in my case it is not.
Here are my questions.
1. Can I start working for consultant B from Oct 1.(after quitting the company A with L1).?
2. What should I do since I have current I-94 only till Nov 15th 2007 and if I ask my current company A to extend it they wont do because I want to leave them as early as possible before Oct 1st.
3. Can my consultant file for the change of STATUS from L1 to H1B(the approval for which I have already received from USCIS) and then in that case it will have new I-94 attached.
4. Anyother suggestions what should I be doing so that I can start working on H1 after Oct1st here and then whenever I go back to India, after 4 or 5 months I will have the Visa stamped.
Thanks in advance.

i am pretty sure, there wont be any fee for next 1 year, for the guys who got 1yr EAD. but, third year u pay again $340 for 2 more years. bottomline,$340 is for 2 years of EAD. otherwise there will another law suit from AILA.
i think the reason for super-quick approval is not that they want milk more money. they must have approved ur EAD before USCIS released formal 2 yr EAD notification. and not many people filed for renewal at that time, due to 120 days rule.
i myself delayed, filing EAD renewal, soon as i heard the news about 2 yr EAD will be effective from Jun30th. :-)
similary, i converted my Apr'07 I-140 to PP on Jun18th,'07 and got it approved on Jun26th,'07, few days before they stopped PP :-)
take it easy guys..

We need about 20 volunteers from the strong state chapters like CA, Tristate, TX.... maybe 10 in the rest of the state chapters.
If each volunteer can set a target and collect 200 letters each, we can easily meet the target.
Is that too much to ask for?

"Less number of attendees" had a big impact in our minds and it sidelined one of the positive outcome of the meeting and that is outcome of Q&A with the Guest.
Guest answered many questions personal - EB based immigration and other immigration but in my opinion we could get very precise answers on following questions raised by attendees in more clear manner without leaving any doubts and ifs and buts.
Q:1 What need to be done if one has different "A" numbers on I-140 and 485?
Q:2 Age old confusion - Using AC21 after 180 days - How to use it.
AND WE ALL COULD GET VERY PRECISE ANSWERS IN A VERY PROFESSIONAL MANNER FROM A WONDERFUL GUEST(Attorney) AND THAT WITHOUT PAYING HOURLY FEE.

On second thoughts, we could collect $30 or so for food and bring lunch packets.. and forget the reimbursement part..!
$30 will go towards food & water and also for organising the event!!

Personally I think there are no more than 8000 applications left. How I arrived at this number..
Total EB1+EB2 visas = 80,000
Per Quarter allocation= 20,000
Discount factor for dependants = 2.5
Application Left = 20,000/2.5 = 8,000
So the question is how many application are left before Jun'06?

I also do not understand why H4 are not eligible for work permit. I think when they passed H1b, they did not lobby for H4's to have work permit as they probably did when they introduced L1/L2 and E1/E2 visas. The onus is on us H1b holders to ask for H4's to have work permit. So I hope IV adds this to their list of goals if it is not already one. Lot of people understand that current H1b limit is not enough so this could be a good option if they are reluctant to increase the H1b cap.
