Did any one discussed this with an attorney. May be a conference call with Mr. Rajiv Khanna ? Can anyone from IV core member respond what is their take on such a class action. Will we have the support from IV if such lawsuit is filled.
Again i strongly believe our only way out of this mess especially for EB3 India is lawsuit.

First up, thanks to everyone for resolving this issue on their own, in a reasonable and civil manner.
In a truly democratic environment, we may want to modify the core IV goals to reflect that (Ideally I would prefer that there be a vote for what should be the core goals...after all most people here have contributed something towards the cause...and only those who have contributed should be allowed to vote...no free lunch).
1. Allow people to file for 485 and get EAD even if visa numbers are not available
2. Allow EAD to be FULLY portable without restrictons (i.e., irrespective of job description or job title or job location or salary).
The above two dont ask for sweeping changes in immigration laws such as increase visa numbers etc. etc. and are easy for the average American person to understand. And so can hopefuly be passed easily.
With the above two passed, I dont think many people will complain if it takes another 5 years to get their GC. Agree?
By the way, I have got my EAD card and my PD is also current. So the above two goals will be redundant for me. My story is that I am stuck in FBI namecheck. But the moderators have already indicated that it cant be one of the core goals. So I would not list that even if I would like that to be one of the core goals.
Santosh
Santosh, those are good suggestions that I will take up to the IV team.
1. The idea of a democratically elected IV goals is a good one but there are huge practical problems. As it stands, the present IV goals are those that most people have indicated are those that the organization should strive for, and from our discussions with Congress/Senate staff, these goals are achievable. With democratically selected goals, the IV core team would have the unenviable task of fighting for whatever goals the populace decides is right, without regard to the achievability of the goals. For instance, if the junta votes on goals, many people would say 'Full portability of GC' or 'Automatic clearance of all pending labor cert applications in the BECs'. Those would probably not fly. Our current talking point is that our goals are small changes to the process; we do not skip any steps; and we do not change the process significantly. A full portability to any job changes the process significantly. Even yesterday, Spgtopper met the staff member of a very powerful House member and the staffer was quite positive on our goals - we do not ask for more green cards, we limit our goals to ones that are reasonable.
2. IV goals are not written in stone. Name check is definitely an issue but it is an issue that not many of our people face. If our membership's problems changes from retrogression to name check, then we would have to work on that. It may be smarter to anticipate the magnitude of the problem and start work early. If you would be kind enough to partially lead the effort, that would be great. Logiclife is working on this issue on his own, and WaldenPond is also working on this. Please PM them. Logiclife is on vacation so he may take a while to respond.

I am not interested to pursue this, nor do I have the ability to lead this effort. Plus I am very happy with the effort and the work IV is doing. Which is not for a specific category but a more general appeal. I support that.
But for those who are interested - EB3 (India and ROW). The way USCIS is interpreting the law of spillover, can be easily challenged, because this goes against the spirit of the law. If EB2 and EB1 were to be given special preference at the I485 stage, then clearly they would have been allotted a larger quota to start with. should be a strong enough case for a Class Action Law Suit. Looking at the times that some people have been waiting and are expected to wait this is clearly an option to try out. IV or without IV. :)

Deepak,
Simple thing, I don't comment all the bull that goes on , on the open forum, discussing Vonage to anything, who cares. Put up the opinions no problem. But there has to be a limit on how and what are you putting up.
Despite IV doing so much for the community, the post from gvenkat, jyoti and including yours and lot others (guys you know whom I am talking about) actually demotivate the group and this way you contribute to IV but all NEGATI VE When I see this type shit I just cannot stop myself and I think would be a shame on myself if I do so.
Also , one time donation are not helping. IV needs more donations, more volunteers. Come on join in, everything is flexible here for volunteers, so please contribute and donate.IV core has got it to this point with least support and proved that yes it can be done now what else do you what IV to prove. After this still you are looking for something for them to prove. then its nothing to prove all BS excuses for not being the part of it.
If that is the case , then who cares about ones opinion???
You just called a member of this forum a useless idiot. What does that make you.
You know what? You need money to lobby for your GC, spend your own money.Cough up more per month. And when you get your GC, you know what? I will get mine too, and I will sit there with a smug smile and wave it in your face.
How did you feel reading that? Thankfully, most people are not that way, even though you accuse them of being that way. It does not make anyone feel good to be called that either. Maybe you are having a bad day, but remember, you are a senior member and you are asking for donations. Calling people useless idiots is not going to get much.
How much do you want to bet that there are people like me who are a bit wary of donating money if it is going to be handled by people like you?

AFAIK all 485 filings have to be sent to NSC. Also, does one need to attach the original I-140 approval with I-485 or a copy of it will suffice?
Yes - all I485 apps got to Nebraska http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3faf2c1a6855d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D
Employment-Based Applications
If you are filing for lawful permanent resident status based on an offer of permanent employment in the United States, you should
submit your I-485 to:
USCIS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87485
Lincoln, NE 68501-7485
This includes an employment-based I-485 if you are filing a Form I-140, Petition for Alien Worker, concurrently with
your I-485, or an I-485 filing basedon a pending or an approved Form I-140.

This appears to be the reason why :
The text of S2691 has not yet been received from GPO
Bills are generally sent to the Library of Congress from the Government Printing Office a day or two after they are introduced on the floor of the House or Senate. Delays can occur when there are a large number of bills to prepare or when a very large bill has to be printed.

Let me add my 2 cents here -
1. There is no rule that H1 status expires after 1 year of no use. The key word here is H1 status.
2. If the person is in US, then he/she 60 days to start working on H1 job else apply for change of status (or leave US and re-enter on some other visa).
3. If the person is entering US on H1 visa, then he/she has 30 days to start working on H1 job.
4. Within 30 days of start working, person should get his/her first paycheck.
5. By not working on H1 job, you are out of status since Oct 1st. (there is no grace period for out status. However, out of status does NOT mean illegal presence as long as I-94 date is not expired or USCIS has made the determination that you are out of status.
6. 3/10 year bar applies for illegal presence and not for out of status.
Good Luck.

Why did you file EAD? Waste of money. You will be getting your GC anytime. EB2 ROW is curent.
Yes it is current. But I don't know when they'll be approving it. Besides now we pay $1010 for I-485/131/765. There's no breakdown.

The EB-2 category for Indian nationals has retrogressed four years and will be set at January 1, 2000 for applications received beginning June 1st. If you are from China, the backlog is five years less - February 15, 2005. And if you are from any other country in the world, there is no wait at all. I am really appalled that Congress allows such an unjust distribution methodology to remain the law. No country is permitted to claim more than 7% of the numbers in a green card category. That means tiny countries like Andorra and Botswana get the same...

I think you have made a great decision asdcrajnet. Best wishes for all your future endeavours (note the "u" in the spelling :-))
I will be following you pretty soon. I should be there by December 2011! I would like to provide a small piece of advice to others who are contemplating moving back but haven't made the decision yet.
Before that, a little bit about my story- I came to the US in April 2005 with the intention of living here for five years and then returning back for good. I told my brother about my intentions, which for some reason made him laugh. He said 90% of the people intend to "move back in five years" but never actually do. You have kids here and then they grow up and start going to school. Then you feel your kids will not adjust to schooling in India, and you end up living here. I didn't care so much about his comments until two years later. My brother again asked me - so when are you moving back? I said - in another five years. Holy S***!!! I never realized when my five year plan became a seven year plan!!!
So now coming to my word of advice - set a hard date and work towards that date! Don't just say "in a couple of years"! In December 2006 I set my return date to April 2012 and started working towards it. I started thinking seriously about what I wanted to do in India, what I needed to do here now to improve my chances of succeeding in India, etc. I asked my wife to answer the same questions about her career in India (by the way, it's our joint decision to move back!). I will be starting my own business when I move back. I have already identified partners, made some connections in Mumbai and have started talking to potential customers. I will be making a brief visit to Mumbai later in March, and am planning to move back for good by December 2011.
So if you are serious about moving, set a hard date and work towards it. Otherwise, five year plans become seven, ten, fifteen year plans and you end up living here for good (nothing wrong with that by the way, if that's your intention)!

I had a chance to file in EB2 with master's degree but my attorney screwed it up and filed in EB3 category instead and now i can't even port to EB2 as my company is no longer supporting new PERM applications due to bad economy. I am usually optimistic but with the current economic conditions and bleak chances of any immigration fix, I feel we are fighting a losing battle. God help us all in EB3 category.
