We can make it at 9:00 if it helps our friends from West coast.
Sounds reasonable. Newbie2020 and others, does 9:00 PM EST sound ok to you guys ? We can cut down the call to about 45 mins to enable early risers to get to bed.

First, deecha, and VZLAN you are brave men..hope you get through. When the immigration system is so arcane, you cannot blame yourselves
===============
next, I am in a similar 'somewhat out of status' position myself. i am filing for i-140/i485
I have been with the same employer since Jan 2004, and have every pay stub since then. However during some time in 2006, the company was in deep trouble, management takeover etc. and we were only paid for time spent on a major project (which was the cash cow). Because i was not directly involved in it, I was paid at about 50%, but every week, which lead my final W2 for 2006 to be around 76% of the total on the LCA. I looked at my paystubs and the total weeks at less than 100% is 5 months.
For 2004, 2005 and 2007 (on course) I am on course for my full salary. Also I got a bonus and stock options as the project took off and we are all in a better shape and my 2007 W2 should be higher.
Before 2004, I was a student on a F1 (MS degree) with one h1 in the bad days of 2002. However, my change of status was on the dot.. i.e. i got laid off on a friday and i filed my change of status to f1 the same day. My h1 visa was stamped in 2004 in India. My H1 was extended in early 2007
I am filing a self-sponsored I140. So, my question is:
1) Should I wait for 2008/whenever to file my i485 and hopefully show one year w2 and try to see if that goes through?
2) Try to convince my employer to pay me the back wages for 2006 (they may agree) in lieu of some future pay cut or paid out vacation or trade my stock options. File an amended return with a new 2006 W2 (what are the risks of an audit??)
3) Try to wait till 2008, stamp my visa extension and then file for i-485 showing only 2007 w2.
-=====-=-=-====-
Please send me your perspectives.
Please see one of the replies I have above in response to another post. You employer could not pay you, but it is not your fault. If a RFE comes up, you can file affidavits to that effect. You have to consult a good lawyer.
If you are not going to be leaving the US, you shouldn't have to worry about the H1 stamp because you should be getting a new I-94 with your H1 extension approval notice.

Here is the dilemma.... The Idea is great...It can change our lives But if we sit on the idea for long it will rot So DO WE TAKE ACTION or LET US WAIT FOR CORE TO COME UP WITH SOLUTION. I would suggest we form a small committee or group of people who can brainstorm and come up with possible course of actions and then present the idea to core.
This is similar to House->Judiciary committee -> Immigration sub Committee
idea is to analyze the situation and come up with the best solution rather than waiting for
CORE to act on.
Great! are you willing to lead?

Now on the other side, I am wondering why IV core hasn't yet posted their opposition to this idea.
Let me guess, you have been brain washed by some jerk who claims that he is GOD. So you see things around you through the prizm of that jerk, and you think that the purpose of creating a good idea is to shoot it down.
Allow me to share some common sense, which is always tough. Every idea has its time and place. Every good idea also has its time and place. Out of time and out of place idea is as good as hurting yourself. So while you sit in your rabbit hole listening to your GOD, wanting to work on the removal of per-country limits, just open your eyes and see that the world around you is much more beautiful if you don't see it with the prizm of some jerk. Hope you know what I am trying to say ....

Of course they go by receipt date, but question is what is the receipt date? Each center enters data, and places folder in sequence of when they, the Center, received the file (and decided to accept it). This date is close to ND, but may be quite different than RD on your receipt, sometimes by several months (due to noone accepting huge volumes of July/Aug07 filings, or for some reason disputing as to which center should work on the case).
There are thousands of instances where cases were filed in July 07, but entered into the system in Sept/Oct 07. For all purposes, their RD is what you see online as "your case was received on...", which is close to ND.
See my earlier posts in this thread. If you ask a center if they are processing cases based on RD or ND, they will always say RD, because that is true based on their defintion of RD.
They will state they go by RD but check what RD they have in their system, does not matter what RD you have in your receipt.
May be it is an issue for transfer cases only where initially RD was issued by another service center say VSC and then case was transferred to TSC and TSC is using RD the date when they got the case. At least that is case for my app they told me. My lawyer is following up and if they don't fix it i Plan on using Congressman, Senator etc even a law suit as it is ridiculous that TSC sen the app to VSC for data entry and is not willing to honor the RD which VSC entered.

at some point the visa numbers are going to be all used up. The lucky ones would get their GC by then and the others will have to wait for a few months.
Why worry over it? The line only gets shorter and shorter and everybody will get their turn sooner than later.
As long as they don't waste any visa numbers, there is no need for any worry. Even their random processing order does not bother me that much, because demand for EB2 will be less than supply next year. Its time for EB3 to fasten the seat belts....

I have only a few things to say to Mr. Sherman.
Do whatever the F**K you want to stop us immigrants. You can't.
Nobody was able to stop your Grandpa from hopping aboard the Mayflower and landing in Ellis island and making a good life for himself. He had the might. He did it. So will we. However, I will do one thing more than that. I will teach my grand kids to respect people, no matter who they are and where they are from.
I am going to immigrate. I am going to work hard. I am going to prosper. I will bring good life to my family. I will bring value to this society and this country. I will start companies and provide my brother americans with jobs. I will help make America better.
You only make me stronger.
I could say here that people like you make our lives difficult. But that would be wrong. I have quite a few Second generation Italian friends here in florida and they are simply gems. They are among the reason I always wanted to come to this country. So you are alone in your ridicule/negative motivation. As much as you want to make us feel, we are aware that you do not represent the majority sentiment in this great country.
- Go IV!!

That is interesting. The steps that we followed were the ones told to us by the DC embassy. I think the only difference between your case and my wifes case is that her passport had just her First Name under "Given Name" and her "Surname" was blank. I think in your case you have the First Name and Last Name combined under the "Given Name" and "Surname" is blank.
I just spoke to Indian consulate, NYC. The procedure to correct the last name is very simple. All you need is an Affidavit from the person (Signed in US, saying that you are correcting your name.), 4 photos and a copy of 797 or Visa. No need of advertizements, or Indian affidavit.
Please note, this is applicable only if,
In your passport Surname is Blank
Given name has <first name><last Name> (and all spelling etc are correct)
and you want it to be corrected to
Surname <last Name>
Given Name <First Name>
They will issue a new booklet with corrected name. It's same day service in NYC.

I googled to find any cases similar to the one I have now, by no luck.
My wife was out of status for more than 6 months while she was on H1-b by not working. To put her back on status, my attorney advised to make her go out of the country and come back on H4 visa. Her status now is H4 and has maintained it since the last entry to US. I have maintained my H1-B status since 3 years and got paid for every day.
Is it possible, my I-485 is approved (primary applicant) and her I-485 denied (dependent) due to her prior out-of-status on H1-B? Her current status as mentioned in the I-485 forms is H4.
Please advice.
Thanks.
Yes, there is a possibility of I-485 denial for dependent as it is at the discretion of the adjudicating/immigration officer. Having said this, any denial can be appealed using a MTR. It can also be referred to the board of immigration appeals.

Our Goal for this event was $50000 and so far we did not even raise 20k. We are approximately 60% under target. We won't be able to have another event like this if we go down this path. The last thing we want to happen is our efforts to stall due to lack of dollars. it would undo everything we have done in the past 4.5 years
Thanks Redds777!
For this event we did fund raising and that helped the cause. for the Lobby efforts is there any number that IV want to publish and members will get inspired again!

I am really sorry about your situation. While, it is true that there is a lot under USCIS' adjudicator's control, we need to give it our best try and exhaust our options before we give up. I think that being Indian, IT and skilled (I am all 3 !) does not have that much of a bearing on one's life situations and connection to green card being approved. Case in point : I went through a rough time myself (see beginning of the thread) and even paid the price (divorce, heartbroken) for taking a chance. However, everyones situation is unique.
If you can post details of your case, then someone from here is sure to be able to give you some guidance. One last piece of advice, there is no substitute for a damn good lawyer who can get you the results. It might not come cheap though. There are instances of people having accrued unlawful stays beyond 1 year and lawyers having gotten them their EB based green cards later through CP using tricks such as waivers etc.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Deecha,
1).I came to USA on L1-B in 2003 October and the I-94 was till september-2006.
2). Then i changed my Visa to H1-B in 2005.
3). I was asking my employer to file for change of status from L-1 to H-1.
4). Those guys filed for a new H-1 and sent it to a consulate in India.
5). I was not aware of this and i thought i am legal till september the expiration date on my Visa.
6). Labor got cleared in July-2007.
7). Thought i would file for I-140 and I-485 together and found out that my I-94 was expired since September-2006.
What is the best course of action here to remedy my situation??
Any advice or details of a great Immigration lawyer who dealth with such cases before would be of great help.
Thanks in Advance !!
