I also called the number 202-224-7703. The lady told me that, it is scheduled for hearing this fall and we can check on Website judiciary.senate.gov . She said, usually they post the date, 1 week before the hearing in the committee. She is also told that, she is going to pass on the message for hearing, to the senators.

Its pleasant to hear that USCIS will forward the flowers sent by IV members to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and Bethesda Naval Hospital. This is an excellent idea. However the people who fought for freedom, and are recovering at these hospitals should know: what these flowers are all about and who is sending them.
We should write emails to these hospitals to educate them about this flower campaign and urge them to accept the flowers and support our just cause. Please suggest a good template for the email, supporting our troops and asking them to support us. IV core should help with this and co-ordinate this event. This can become a next step in our peaceful protest against USCIS. If we can gather the support fom these hospitals that would be a major success. After this email campaign, hospitals may accept or reject the flowers forwarded by USCIS, but we will score a major win in either case. This will become our second round of publicity in media for our flower campaign. Please comment on this idea.
Please find the web site and contact emails for both the hospitals:
1. Walter Reed Army Medical Center
http://www.wramc.amedd.army.mil/
On the botton right corner, there is a link: Email the Hospital
2. Bethesda Naval Hospital.

No reason to deny your 7th year H1 extension based on the fact that it is for a different role. It DOESNT have to be "same or similar" for this case.
But the "same or similar" comes into picture for your 485 approval. Well........ at that time ... if the original LC position is still available for you permanently, no issues.
What happens to the GC petition? I guess that is probably also Amit's concern in the long term

First, you should file for the extension as soon as possible to give ample time to respond to any possible RFE. To be sure you have enough time to sort everything out, you should consider paying the additional $1000 premium processing fee.
Second, If your company employs fewer than 25 employees, and more than 7 of them are H-1B visa holders, then your employer is considered H-1B dependant and may have to meet certain requirements with regard to your salary (must be more than $60,000) or credentials (must hold advanced degree).
Third, if there is an RFE requesting contracts, etc. I would recommend getting a letter from the product company detailing the duration and nature of the relationship with your company and confirming its ongoing nature.

Looks like everything in GM is on sale.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=ae2V3Y.7j85k&refer=news
Saturn is sold for $100 to $200 mn.
Who knows GM may sell the retired brands for 1 or 2 mn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac#End_of_the_Pontiac_brand
Now the important question.
Did tatas overpay for jaguar and landrover ? Looks like they did.
If they sell for 1 or 2mn, we should buy it as a group and show our importance. Even 10 to 20mn is also OK.

Please consider signing up for monthly recurring contributions. It will be a big help to IV and we can plan our lobbying efforts in the coming months ahead of time.
It seems people will wake up only after they are stuck in the 485 and EAD backlogs and ask IV to do something for them. It will be too late by then. The more we get closer to the presidential election, the lesser chances we have to get any relief. Hope all members realize this truth.

Technology and money do not matter. But the job role and responsibilities matter.
You need a good attorney who will accompany you to the interview if you are not clear about the job role match.

Hi All!
Appreciate if you have any suggestion for my case:
My case is regarding I-140 and I-485 being denied (Admin mistake at USCIS end) which were filed in July 2007 using substitution labor.
USCIS denied my 140 application by saying that they received my 140 application on 18th July 2007 and the last date was 16th July 2007. The receive date on my 140 notice is 16th July 2007 so it is clearly a mistake at USCIS end, not sure from where they got 18th July 2010.
My lawyer then filed the MTR/Appeal for 140 and USCIS sent the case to AAO. I am not sure even though the case was so strong why USCIS didn�t approve it in MTR and sent it for appeal. In I-290B form my lawyer selected the option of both MTR and Appeal. Lawyer also didn't file any appeal for 485, because as per him USCIS will automatically open I-485 once I-140 is opened or approved. So I-485 is still lying in denied state and hasn't been opened by USCIS.
I am looking for if there is any way I can reopen my I-485 so that i can renew my EAD which is about to expire in few months. I dont think USCIS will renew the EAD if 485 is in denied stage.
Also if my 485 is opened i can file 485/EAD for my wife too as my PD is current.
Or if there is any other option I can get my 485 opened instead of waiting for AAO for 2 years to process my case.
EB2 PD Date: Dec 2005.
I-140 denied: 10 Dec 2009
I-140 appealed: 05 Jan 2010
I-140 sent to AAO: Feb 25 2010
I-485 Denied: 31 Dec 2009
I-485 appeal: none
Appreciate your help and if you can point me in right direction.
Thanks,
Rocky

Hi,
I think you should write your spouse name on the mailbox alongwith yours especially if she still maintained her maiden name which would be different from your last name.
Also do talk to your postmaster and update the situation.
Hope this helps.

I was with with Company A and my H1B approval notice was until 2011 and my wife H4 approval notice was also until 2011.
Recently I changed to Company B, where this company applied only H1B transfer and received a receipt number for that and it is in pending status. And they are saying H4 transfer also applied at the same time but we didn't received the receipt notice yet.
In this H1B transfer process I got query on that petition, now Company B is saying I will not submit any documents for above query.
I have an EAD when I was with Company A and it is still valid. I am planning to move onto EAD.....
Can my wife change her status to F1 (Student) even her H4 transfer receipt is not available?
And the old H4 approval notice is still in approved status when I check in USCIS website.
Please help me in this situation, let me know all your opinion about this case.
~Thanks in advance.

Usually , Individual insurance will not cover pregnancy!
with Humana, you need to buy it as an extra option ( rider) .
check if you can save in long run with HSA accounts.

When the news broke about PDs becoming current, I told 2 of my friends and my family that there is something wrong going on.
It is a common sense that the visa numbers are governed by policies and should be approved by senators in parliament if not by the president.
There were no indications in senate sessions nor announcement of any political intervention at the highest level to turn the table all together.
DOL and USCIS have all excuses to wash their hands of the issue now.
We should learn to forget what has happened to prepare ourselves to move on and on and on ....
Unless there happens a miracle like in fairy tales, we never know, all depends on our karma and not worthwhile to blame anybody on this.
