"Even horse-betting has some amount of skill level (of the horse) and knowledge involved when u place a bet...and to think about it....When I used to be in India, I was told why India is not improving is because meritocracy takes a back seat everywhere while in US people are rewarded based on merits. I now realize with the backlog and the H1B that things are worse out here."
You're absolutely right. Ever since last year's H1-b lottery, I look at this country in a new light. I no longer see this U.S. as the world's greatest country, I suspect this is a civilization in decline. If I were to make a bet where this country will be in 50 years, I would bet it would lose it's position as a superpower and the most successful economy.
This H-1b and GC mess to me is an indicator of how things are run in this country. With all these major problems: immigration, healthcare -- there's just an attempt to sweep problems quietly under the rug or apply band-aid fixes such as a lottery.
Thousands of advanced degree holders are being kicked out of the country and a million people are stuck in a GC mess -- no one cares, it's no-one's business. The human being is like a tiny and replacable cog in the system.
Of maybe ~500 highly influential people in Washington DC (congressmen + senators + president + DHS high officials) maybe 3-4 people are expressing outrage at the EB GC and H1B mess. Zoe Lofgren is one, maybe a few others. The rest think the system is just fine.
Barack Obama spoke in the senate last July and said that the employment-based immigration system is working so well, we shouldn't make any changes!
Sorry, seeing this week's H1B brings out the pessimist in me. Maybe there's hope for legal immigrants in the future, but only if we keep fighting.

actually that is not what i understand...though we should wait for
1. some lawyer to come up with clarifications.
2. updates to the adjudicator field manual.
i think this still upholds the memorandum with regards to porting off on unapproved i-140. if you notice the case they have cited "Matter of Al Wazzan" is date Oct, 2005 where as the favourable Yates memo came out in Dec 2005.
what i understand is that they are just reiterating that porting off on unapproved i-140 is not automatic and requires that the adjudicator decide on the pending i-140 first before deciding wether the porting off is protected under AC21 or not.
but again...i myself am waiting for clarifications from immigration law websites like murthy.com and immigration-law.com etc.

Well.. it didn't turn out to be a major issue after all. At least for us. Both my self and my wife got approved in May. The first LUD since FP was on the day we were approved.
I do understand that 'not working' immediately after getting H1B is a problem and considered out of status and in addition you can also work while SSN is pending. However, most employers do not know about work with out SSN (pending) and according to some lawyers, we may be able to fight for this.
As I investigated further, there are so many people in the similar situation esp. spouses, i.e., getting on payroll a little late etc. Many of them for genuine reasons (though you will find fault with those reasons) and fell into unknowingly. However, most of them got GCs with out any problem.
The trick may be to put forward the documentation in such a way that it will not raise any flag. You require to submit Paystubs, w2s, tax returns only for primary applicant as supporting documentation I134 (affidavit) to prove that the dependent is not public charge. You need to make sure that information entered in the any forms (I485, Bio, I-134 etc) agree with supporting documentation such as I94, I797, PP/Visa or any documentation you included. If information do not match, it may raise a flag and IO may ask for more information. So do not get overexcited and submit only what is asked. YOU SHOULDN'T LIE. JUST SUBMIT ONLY WHAT IS ASKED.
I do understand the forms are useful, but I honestly feel that it is unnecessary stress. As I mentioned I was never been under so much stress as I was when folks pointed that we may not get GCs. I didn't sleep for couple days.. And stopped visiting this forum. Later my wife made me realize that family life is most important as long as we are together, country of residence does not matter. When our son was born last month, I truly felt 'damn GC'.. funnily got approved in the same week :).
There are few people who are truly helpful, but most come to forms just for kicks and show of their knowledge and talk/act like lawyers. My suggestion is DON'T HURT PEOPLE WHO COME FOR HELP. Esp, when there is something negative, don't try to prove and re-prove your point or satisfy your ego with logical answers or internet search results etc. This will hurt the person 'in trouble' even more. Just imagine your self in similar situation, then you will realize that most people get into situations unknowingly and probably unaware of till some one like you points out. Try to offer some suggestions if you can or stay away. If you want kicks, have a drink and watch a game or something. THANKS FOR READING THIS.
BYE BYE. Good luck to every one who is still waiting.

Looks like for July 2nd they just started and i talked to 5 other guys( who got receipt) - all of them has a sending time between 9 and 9:30 AM by FEDEX
Mine went around 11:30 by USPS on July 2nd - so i have to wait for at least 2weeks. 1 hr late means 1 week delay !!
Kidding - what time yours hit the USCIS building ?
mine reached at 7:55 am ...still no receipt :(

like everything else CHC will block this too...they want to put illegals ahead of everyone else....
It is not just they - but the industries who employ them and depend on them .As much as we may want to call them illegals - they are a part of economy and will continue to be as long as their employers continue to hire them at lower wages to boost their profits.

I hope it being aired on 7/7/07 will bring our cases some luck..
EDIT: According to Dr. Bahrainwala, this has been bumped to 7/7/07..
Immigration Voice member Dr. Murtaza Bahrainwala, who was also quoted in the New York times article today about the July Visa bulletin fiasco and the resulting fallout from it, will be on NBC nightly news with Brian Williams tonight around 5:30 Central time.
The interview also has snippets of interview with USCIS officer as Brian Williams has interviewed USCIS over this issue also. So its a "must watch" thing.
This will be on NBC and that's good coz you dont even need cable to watch this. In your local area, the NBC channel affiliate will be broadcasting the "Nightly news" with Brian Williams.
Local times may vary depending on your local NBC affiliate. Its most likely 5:30 Central time tonight but check your local listings.
Thanks to Dr. Bahrainwala for the interview.

As much as I would like this bill to become law, the fact is it "Won't". The reason being the terms laid out in this bill are way to general, which will enable anyone who has done Masters from US to get a green card. Think about it, the amount of competition it will raise for both US citizens and other immigrants.
At this point, I am very skeptical about this bill gaining any success in the future, however we should focus our efforts on the recapture bill.

We are not sure of the chronology of events such as your wife's pregnancy, Your job change, your insurance start date. If you guys had individual insurance before your wife's conceiving, insurance cannot deny coverage as pre existing condition. Make sure you put these events in a time line and rule out the possibility of coverage. if you have done so, you have to explore other options.
As far as changing job is concerned, make sure your job requirement matches the same and similar concept. If you have used AC21, why not use it one more time? Of course, your PD and other personal issues might be stopping you from doing so. But if you are just thinking about using AC21 again, dont worry. Talk to a good attorney and drink the kool aid again.
The easiest way to get through this is to get under group coverage. I will let you know if there is any way you can sneak into group coverage. but the one I can think right on top of my head is joining an employer with health insurance
Thank you Nixtor and all other IV friends who have helped me.
And all those who came to this thread to help me and gave me lot of moral support.
I am really thankful to all.
I wish all of get the GC very soon.

I understand that ... but I have seen the diploma accepted and the 2+3 accepted but of course nothing accepted by an adjudicator (or several) is binding. It is a tricky case. In a case like this EB3 skilled worker with 3 years of experience is always the best route to go and then once approved they can try for EB2.
The OP filed 140 as EB3 - USCIS has denied the 140 stating that the Diploma is not equivalent to US Bachelors Degree.
The only thing I see in the education is that s/he studied for 16 years, which does not provide privilege of claiming that his/her study is equivalent to US Bachelors. To be precise, 10 (School) + 2 (School) + 1 (First Year of B.Com) + 3 (XYZ Diploma) - The final certificate awarded is a DIPLOMA so OPs' education is not even equivalent to Indian B.Sc/B.Com.
In my opinion, s/he has to start from scratch and word the labor properly. Meanwhile, filing MTR / appeal can help - if one is in the last year of 6 year limit.
