I got 2 positive responses from orkut members in DC.
One said Oh ok, I will.. so this person didn't even know about it until after seeing the scrap.
Yes I posted scraps on individual members' scrapbooks, not just community posts.
I suggest if you are on orkut, scrap any and every one in DC communities, if a lot of people ask them to come, they will know how important it is!!
Great idea! Why don't you start a thread on using ORKUT? It would be helpful!

Hope Spring,
Can you back your post with any links?
I recently talked with my lawyer and also took consulting (paid $$$ for hourly consulting) with another lawyer as I am going thru the same route. Both the attorney mentioned there was no problem doing ac21 for H1 while AOS was pending for > 180 days and 140 approved .

GCCovet,
It seems, you are right. One can possibly use H1 after using AC21. The incorrect post has been pulled back. Sorry, for the confusion.

I agree with you. Why are we penalised for being on H4 Visa ?
Most people on H4 Visas are well educated and would easily be able to contribute to american economy. We are lawabiding and can give so much to american economy. All our talents are wasted and skills are rotting sitting around for the backlog centers to clear the LC's and for retrogression to end.Meanwhile we practically have no life and are completely dependant .
Immigration Voice should try to include the greviances of H4 spuses into consideration.

I am Eb3 Mar 2004 and I am planning to wait until the Oct dates before making any decision.
But there is a deeper problem that I see.
IV had been extremely instrumental in making the immigration issue heard outside our community and taking it to the ears of the people making decisions.
Now, IV, from what I am hearing and am seeing (by openly not supporting the Eb3-I agenda (pappu making comments about what is wrong with the EB3 word petition)
is interested in pushing the Eb2 agenda only.
The core team explanation that Eb2 rollover nos are provided to EB3 and that is why they cannot help it, is baseless.
If everything in the past was to happen as per the process, there would be no IV at all.
Also, in the recent past, EB3 was available when Eb2 was Unavailable, so the rollover argument is wrong.
Now, if IV is definite on not providing support to the EB3 community, it is time to rethink.
I do not have a good feeling about the EB3 to EB2 conversion (it is basically going into unknown territory).

True, But I guess everyone is trying to hold on to any or all of these fading rays of hope.
On a lighter note, I did watch sausages being made, and I can't eat them anymore.
That's why there is a saying that you should never watch sausages and laws being made.
The Cantwell amendment and Lieberman amendment will fail to pass the vote. It doesnt matter whether its ordered to lie on table or whether its ordered to take a nap on the table or have some lemonade on the table. And it doesnt matter what any of those "Motion to... " means.
Both of those amendments, if debated, will fail. It will take 10 seconds for Bernie Sanders, Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin to scream on top of their lungs and kill it. And the reason is very simple. There is a massive H1B exemption ON TOP OF 180,000 QUOTA. People who have been so successful this year so far in restricting H1 and employment based GCs are not going to miss that nice little H1 exemption at the bottom of both these amendments. So stop scratching your heads over what the "lying on table" means, because whatever is lying on table is unpassable if it somehow awakes from the table and starts dancing in the well of the senate floor.

Alterego, what great news! You WILL NOT REGRET coming! I totally agree with everything you say! At least we know that we will have stood up for our rights and we will be proud to tell our children that we did so!
Besides, you are absolutely right. This country takes notice when people speak up! The problem is that that's not the case in our birth countries, and thus we are not hard-wired to speak-up! But if we make an effort we will definitely see the results! When people speak up and make a case for their basic rights then they are given those rights! But the rights will be taken away if we give them away, and the way to give them away is to remain quiet! This is a country where the fittest survive, and people will take what is yours if you do not claim it and/or protect it!
We will make our voices heard, and we will end retrogression! But we cannot do it without us all joining together!
I think we can do it, now just decide if you want to be part of history or not. Think if you want to remember this action for the rest of your life, or maybe you will regret you didn't spend one day out off the office. I sure want to be there!

I tried to apply for the SSN for my wife and my child about 6 weeks ago.
As expected, the officer refused even to accept the application ("H4 don't get
SSNs"). I would have submitted the application by mail, but this is not
possible since I have to show my passport to prove that I am legaly in the
country. I insisted that I have a legal reason to apply and even if she thinks
this is not a legal reason, they have to accept the application.
The head of the local office finally accepted the applications. I was told
that the regional office thinks that the Stimulus Payment is not a federal benefit.
One week later the application was declined. The reason given was
that "the SSA doesn't issue SSNs for tax purposes." I had included with
my application a cover letter with the relevant parts of the law and why I
think the SSA should issue the SSNs.
I will now ask for reconsideration. If the SSNs are still declined, I am not sure
about the legal process. Normally, there are two more levels before
a social security case goes to court. One can ask for reconsideration
by an administrative law judge. I think this doesn't cost anything for me,
but I am not sure if this also applies to cases like applying for SSNs.
(Usually it is about the payment of benefits.)
There seems to exist something like a legal definition of federal benefits
(see Wikipedia). I am not sure if the Stimulus Payment would satisfy
this definition and if this definition is the one used in the social security act.
To bring the case to court is quite useless since when the case is decided,
it is to late. One needs the SSN in 2008.

Hello guys!
I wanted to volunteer a thought that had been in my head, so I am basically thinking out loud here for a bit, just throwing this out there for your guidance, tell me if you think this is too aggressive, or even premature?
I think we need another rally before the end of the year. There are 2 reasons:
1- Presidential campaigns: After this Fall, presidential campaigns will be in full swing, and thus commanding all the attention of Congress, the media and the American public.
2- Memory: People's memories are short. Now that we have the attention of the media and Capitol Hill, wouldn't it make sense that this is the time to redouble our efforts and push harder? If we wait, the iron might just cool off.
Having said that, and as we know, a rally means a lot of money, a lot of work, a lot of dedication to organize. Yet, no one said our struggle was easy, and other people and groups who have gone through tough struggles have had to go through extraordinary lengths to achieve their goals.
So, if we were to hypothetically hold a second rally this Fall, we could go for the "low-hanging fruit", i.e. we can hold the rally where the most of us live, such as Silicon Valley (and we know those folks really come through), we can plan to reach attendance to this event in the tens of thousands. I know we might not have enough time, and the people who worked so hard on the DC rally are probably exhausted. But, what if we just focus on an area where there are a LOT of us, and do a "no-frills" rally? Just get the police permits and show up. Our numbers will do the rest.

They hushed up and approved my EAD in 20 days. Why ???? 'cos So they don't hit Jun'30 and give 2 years. They wanted to milk another 680 from me so they hushed up and sent me the 1 year EAD in 20 days.
I guess we all have problems with USCIS, either with their inefficiency (eg. receipt delays during July Fiasco), or sometime with their super efficiency (EAD's getting approved too fast):D

This is certainly good news for many. However the skeptic in me is feeling very uneasy. Why did they suddenly open the flood gates? Did they purposely create a backlog and then increase the fees (double the fees) just in time? Are we going to face other issues down the line after applying for 485?
I guess for now, we will just celebrate and try to get our 485 applications in before July 31st. After that it is a wait and watch situation.
Congratulations to all who got through this first hurdle.

buddy I dont know if you watched chris matthews last night interviewing many dems who won. Several mentioned immigration reform as part of their mandate
I watched msnbc throughout and every dem interviewed mentioned immigration reform. I do not think in public speeches Nancy and Hillary mentioned imm.
The thing is with the new majority, we should see some activity on imm as a whole.
