Well, the situation in the STEM area is dire indeed. Very few US citizens are entering the field and majority of graduate programs in the US are run with a majority of foreign students. A large number of these students had to go back after their 1 year OPT and the rest went in for another graduate program to wait out for the next year's H1B quota. Most industries are now screaming that they can not find enough engineers and scientists. On the other hand other western countries with skilled immigration programs are going to make a killing. So the SKILL bill and other such legislative measures will be out of dire need for the US rather than a lobby pressurizing congress. As far as retrogression goes, it may not be a high priority - the way congress looks at it, well these people (who have filed 485) are in the US, working - they just have to wait out for their visa numbers. I don't think the majority of Americans or congress understands the 485 process including the ability/inability to file 485 due to retrogression. Stories of those who ran out of the 6 year H1B limit needs to brought out to highlight the plight of these people.
Lobbying is a part of life here. Those industries that so desperately need engineers and scientists will eventually lobby for higher H1B quotas.

that the only reason a corporation would hire an H1-B is because he works cheaper. Thats their motive behind suggesting "reforms" - they think with the new requirements none of us would be deemed "useful" to the economy after 3 years at the prevailing wage and would be kicked out. Which we know is BULL. The moment they realize the "reforms" dont meet their restrictionist agenda and the majority of us would still qualify for a GC, trust numbersUSA and chameleon meatloaf to change their tune instantly. And by the way, even our friend Jeff Sessions has gone on record to say the US should have an immigration policy like Australia's and Canada's focussing on skilled immigration. We all know how hollow that is - when the time for action comes(like last week), no prizes for guessing what he will do.
We would do well to steer clear of these treacherous xenophobes and have no truck with any of their restrictionist agendas. It is hypocritical of us as prospective immigrants to publicly align with such folks on H1-B, illegal immigration etc no matter what our own reservations may be about these issues.

Company lawyer conveniently is on vacation till July 15th. And he was already a pain in the butt to deal with, screwed up our 140 already (I mean which lawyer screws it up, right!). I had to walk him through our case again and again. I mean I might as well do the AOS myself since he does nothing except do the G-28 and mail it out and I do the filling up of all forms and photocopies. Besides you should never piss off a pregnant woman!
My only concerns are receiving RFE which I will get one anyways for incomplete medical as I'm pregnant right now but that's expected. Other than that, I''m pretty confident that with help especially from competent individuals in this forum who've already been through the process can help me along the way, if I have any questions and I inturn will shed light on whatever (probably little) I know.
My other major concern is doing a CC case as I go under worldwide. My husband being the primary and all categories becoming current as of July, they might just ignore our CC request altogether and file us under India. Why bother you might ask! We might get EAD and AP if all goes well but might get stuck under the GC process if the dates retrogress further back than it was in June for India. However, I'm still going to take my chance of filing under CC and make a big enough statement on top of the application of CC and sent a separate copy requesting CC as well and ask the case to be reviewed by a Mailroom Supervisor from the get-go.
Any advice about what I can do differently or just about any advice will be appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
Unfortunately in this game of employment based green card, Employer and company lawyer/attorney have unfair adavantage. They can call the shots.
CC can take take 3-4 months and by that time if dates are retrogressed then you are stuck and won't be able to file I-485.
Please pick your next move very carefully.
Not a legal advice.

In spite of us not being heard of our professional and personal problems because of the this broken immigration system, we are being choked and cornered as we are small in number and we keep mum on any kind of torture. Being "High skilled" immigrants, we are having to face this.
They cannot touch illegals as they are huge and they can turn the tables around.

When i came from canada the immigration officers made me wait for 4 hours and later let me in with AP. I think maybe the paper sticking out in my passport is a problem. Is it okay to remove the canadian PR paper stapled from my passport.
They can always see the Canadian Immigrant visa stamped in your passport when they leaf through it. So better not do anything as they can deny entry saying "misrepresenting evidence". Best option is to be truthful without volunteering information.
With AP it could be issue as you are saying that you are going to live permanently in the US and you are on your last stage of the green card process. Legally, there is no statute saying that a Canadian PR or a PR of xyz country cannot enter or apply for a GC. The case won't stand water in an immigration court. The officer was making a sentimental argument and was posturing, for the simple reason that he can.
To give them credit though, there was another level-headed officer who said that I was not on AOS which is maybe 2-3 yrs down the line. If things don't work out then, you can always switch back to H1B. So don't worry about choosing between a PR now. If everything's kosher with your GC application, the CIS has to issue the GC and then ask me to decide.

I think there is not much harm here because the new law says any unused numbers in the previous year will be added to the 290,000 quota next year. So, even we don't get the numbers this year due to the per country limit, next year the size of the cake will be a lot larger.
As per Section 403(b)(7) of Frist's Bill (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:S.2454:), what is left over in EB-2 and EB-3 flows down to EB-5. Given the huge demand for EB-5, it will definitely use up it's quota and the left overs from EB-2/EB-3. So there will be nothing left to carry forward to the next year.

I think the child born in 2008 is important, he can get a SSN in 2009 shouldn't be a problem, the ssn does not show which year you get the number.
For H4 visa holder, I think the key is to get a letter from IRS that state this tax rebate is a benefit, then SSA have existing rules to issue non-work SSN to H4 holders. The key is to get the letter, not generated letter but specific one.
Has anyone tried to get this letter?

Does anyone know when this FBAR thing started? I have never filled it out and I am sure I had > 10K $ in Indian banks for the last 3-4 years. Do I have to send some kind of amendment FBAR for 2006 and 2007 also?
FBAR has been there for long time. Make copies of the document and fill up for the previous years, write a cover letter saying, you were not aware of it.
URS/Treasury says that they worry about only people who are hiding money and not the one who goes and declare volunteerly.
They started little more aggressively this year and you know that most of the countries are doing this nowadays to get the hidden money from Swis.
The money you have saved in FBAR is nothing compared to 50 million saved in Swis by some big fish.
It is important and the awareness of FBAR is increasing, So correct it this year and do not wait for next year.
A good sign is, IRS extended time for filing this year and use it. It may be a OPEN WINDOW for everyone who missed in previous years.

Why you guys are panicing about that is still being debated??
Because if the bill being debated in current form becomes law without any amendments to change the effective date (May 21 2007), all after that date will be screwed.

This logic makes sense. Every flight from India to US has dozens of H1 visa holders, and there are quite a few fights every day. So if such deportation were really happening, it would have become a tide of deportations by now. And this would have become a big issue for Indian media itself, and all those websites like samachar.com etc would be going to town screaming about the story.
Indian news websites keep a pretty good watch on H1B visa holders life in US. Every small change/amendment in H1 rules is promptly picked up by the Indian media. So if no major Indian newspaper has reported the story, it must be a false rumor.
Based on my last few visits, on any given flight from India, there are at least 30-40folks with H1 or AP etc. By that measure, that will make a lot of number in a given day for all POEs combined. …and that also from just from 1 country. So obviously those with all documents ARE GETTING in.
So even 5% sent back will be at least 100plus folks sent back every day. There will be a complete uproar if that happens.
I think cases of guys being sent back from POE are too miniscule to jump to conclusions....if at all true.
It is quite possible that those with incomplete docs or with issues (like no job, paystubs to prove) are being more scrutinized and not spared like before....but nothing panicky here for those with all docs.
Personally in my many visits, I never was asked any document. And yes, I used EWR most.

Why does anyone have to call USCIS THREE times? Or ask the same question TWELVE times? To hear the same thing again and again? Do you think they'll change the answer? Or do you need reassurance every step of the way...? Be a little mentally strong guys and gals..
I don't think the phone operators that some of our extremely worried and scared friends spoke to, can overrule the decisions made by Director Gonzalez and Secy Chertoff.
Now don't get defensive guys...if you're that weak don't let the world know :)
well said sir......I m personally sick of this drama......people go back to work......anyway IT industry has been extremely unproductive ever since CIR days!!
