There was another LUD for all three of us (Self, Wife and daughter). Also received a CRIS email for wife with an RFE. I hope this RFE is about her incomplete vaccination at the time of filing. Will post the RFE details when I receive them from attorney.
I have not done anything like applying for EAD, AP etc.

Precisely,
they ask me for monthly contributions and I ask them to hold something big, a rally or something first, as I was not July2007 filer. That's why I am stopping to come here now. To ask for contributions, IV must hold something big,
How about you do something big like start a rally or sit on hunger strike in DC. I and many others I know on H1B will support you. We are all just waiting for someone to do it because we cannot do it. We all just write good posts and are free riders. But if you are willing myself and my friends on H1B will support you. Go sit in DC on a hunger strike or something and we will all support you.

You have to see my quote from the context of immigration. I never said illegal immigrants do not have any rights. Human rights are across the board. Every nation must follow these standards. Illegal immigrants can not sneak into a country and then demand that they should be given citizenship.
Regarding undocumented workers filing with EEOC, please quote me few cases like that. I doubt if it is ever possible. In my personal opinion, when such workers are subject to deportation when found, where is the foundation in that case? Are you suggesting that non-citizens can apply for jobs in defence and aviation and complain to EEOC if rejected?
Again this could be looked at from many angles. The right to march and demand citizenship is protected under the 1st ammendment. Whether they get the citizenship or not is another issue but indeed yes, as ridiculous as it is, one is free to have the audacity to make statements that may be ridiculous in nature and that is their right under the 1st ammendment to do so as long as they are within the borders of the US. It is these types of freedoms that distinguish America from many other countries, to the extent to where even a person subject to deportation has the right to due process. The 1st ammendment guarantees the freedom of expression. Freedom of expression further covers the right to free speech, press, assembly and to petition the government for a redress of grievances (which is what the undocumented are doing in any case) etc [more here (http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/index.php/First_amendment)]
Indeed a Federal District court has already ruled that immigration status is not a matter that is debatable in a EEOC/discrimination law suit. If the below is not sufficient there are some actual cases involving undocumented workers who were not victims of human trafficking.
Federal Court Bars Employers From Making Issue Of Immigration Status In Discrimination Lawsuits (http://www.eeoc.gov/press/3-10-06c.html)
"We are pleased with the court's order because Title VII's protections against discrimination apply to all employees whether they are documented or undocumented," Burnside said. "Employers cannot discriminate against employees, and then threaten them by seeking information about their immigration status when they complain."
If you read my other post correctly, it said the exemption was with security clearance related jobs. The two types of jobs you cited more than likely require security clearance but if they do not then its fair game for a discrimination complaint. Security clearance is only available to US citizens. My point is that if an employer with more than 4 employees whose job offering does not require security clearance or does not touch on matters of national security has a job posting claiming 'US Citizens Only' and an eligible for work non US citizen eg Green Card Holder or H1-B, EAD holder applies and is rejected primarily on the basis of their national origin or immigration status then yes, they do have credible grounds upon which to file an EEOC complaint. Note that an employer is only supposed to ask for documents that identify eligibility to work when they have made the decision to hire and are filing out form I-9. For instance there is already a case where EEOC or the DOJ won a case because an employer insisted on seeing an employee's GC and would not take an EAD. In summary, I'm not suggesting, it is the law and I believe I have given references to the relevant sections in my other post. But if in doubt, you may want to check with a lawyer and not take my word for it since I'm not one.

USCIS doesn't use postmark date. Don't sperad incorrect info and don't make other members anxious needlessly.
July 2nd filers are fine. Don't worry. Just wait for your receipt notices. We have been through a lot of stress in last month and its time to relax now (for those who already filed).
:D True we've had enough of this BS already.

Buying a house is a risky proposition on H1 specially considering the fact that if one is laid-off and needs to relocate within a short-time then one may end up loosing money. Besides getting into the hasseles of home maintainence is trouble-some and expensive and probably not worth the time and effort if one is uncertain about their future in this country.
Having said that if an individual is good at taking calculated risks and has a secure job then rewards are truly exceptional. I would rather wait atleast till the time of filling I-485 before making any long-term investments in this country. I know lot of my friends are probably going to do the same.
Good luck.
Look at my case.
1) EB3 PD March 2002. After more than 4 years I got my Labor.
2) Filed for I-140 . Cannot file 485 now.
3) H1B 9th year going on.
One good thing I did ,I bought a house in Dec 2002.Now If I sell the same house,I will get minimum 100K profit. I will get good appreciation now.I recommend you guys to buy a house now. It is the best time to buy a house,because it is "Buyers market" now ! You can make some money if you sell it later...

Folks don't get me wrong, i understand what you guys are going through. my family and close friends are in same limbo. and if any of you has spouse on H4 you will surely know the wonderful status it is to be in. All i am saying is, if there is too much demand for something, there will be a price attached to it. A British can get US gc faster then a Indian cause there are not that many british who wanna come here. and Since USCIS knows we are almost on our knees, they treat us like dirt. Once the demand goes down and more and more Indians will start to look else where, they will start treating us with respect too. Case in pint china, track its history with USCIS, Chinese no longer flock to US, in fact its US who now depends on Chinese money and all and treats its citizens with respect.

Not to dishearten any one or not intended against any one
Buying a home right now?? must be kidding me. Do you want to commit for a 30 yr loan when the starting rates are around 6.75 ? (How many will get that rate?). Keeping interest rate aside, There is no way any one can make 100K by buying a home in the current market. I am glad you could and sorry that I couldnt. I am looking at the DC area market that went crazy and now is cooling down. go to www.zillow.com and check homeprices and what happened to homes in the neighborhood.
Some facts about Allied Health care who plan on getting PT's and Nurses from India
Do you know that they need to get a visa screen certificate (PTs and Nurses) to get into the country?
Have you ever dealt with FCCPT & CGFNS (one that gives Visascreens for PT's & Nurses).
Do you know that the license they get is temporary (6 months ) and by the end of the 6 months they have to pass licensing exam in the US?
Do you know how much time they take for processing a type1 application (for applicants without a U S state PT license )?
Applicants must take TOEFL CBT/IBT and get 250/92 respectively. I am not sure about the exact scores. On IBT there is a section wise score you have to achieve minimally. If you have TOEFL CBT you have to take TSE as well and get 50 min. Many people in India get 45 to 48 even after 2 to 3 attempts
Schedule A is set to retrogress any time.
Health care is not IT, other wise desi consultants might have been pumping nurses like crazy into the US.
Hope I shed some light

Again sorry for the digression but sometimes the relationship between Grocery stores and EB Immigrants may not be that far ;)
Can't your friend sue his employer who
1] forced him to falsify his credentials,
2] made him spend money for H1,
3] reduced him to a stage where he has to now work in a grocery store?

I do not mean to be negative, but this immigration debacle does not seem to end. How long do we have to freaking endure this nightmare? IV has been trying for months now...When do you think we will have immigration relief? Are we just going to end up being like thirsty deers in a desert chasing a mirage in search for water?
Are there any astrologers in the forum? Does any astrologer see the retrogression ending soon?

Relax !
There is a saying in Hindi which goes like this:
" Kismat se zyada aur waqt se phele kabhie kissi ko khuch nahi milta"
CIR will come through. We just have to be patient and keeping pushing for our demands. The whole country acknowledges that immigration system needs to be fixed. I'm sure something good will come out of all the efforts.

Can you please elaborate on how this can be achieved? I curently have an approved 140 and am stuck in EB3 retrogression.

The approval notices of the H1B renewals and transfers that I got in the past, the I94 at the bottom had the same number as the one that was given at the port of entry while returning from the last abroad trip made prior to the renewal/transfer.
But in my case, the old I94 had the H1B written on it, as opposed to "parolee" as is your case. So I am interested to also know how your approval turns out.
I haven't received the physical H1B approval notice from my attorney yet so I don't know what's the I-94 # on that one although I doubt it will be the same. AFAIK each I-94 number is unique and different. Anyway, I don't think I-94 number itself matters any, just the fact that you have valid, not expired I-94 is sufficient.
I did not fill the forms for the transfer myself (the attorney did) so I don't know for a fact what he entered in "last manner of entry" but I'm 99.99% sure they must have said "Paroled" as they asked for my I-94 that had "paroled" stamp on it to attach with the petition.
Finally, I did not get any RFE.

Interesting!!!
I didn't know this...
This is applicable when 140 has been approved. If 485 is retrogressed then you will get 3 year extension. If it's current you will get 1 year extension. Guess depends on luck. For e.g if some one has applied for extension in July he/she will now get only 1 year. I found this in a lawyer's chat transcripts.

I agree. I feel that the only thing that would be acheived if IV became a paid website is loss of membership. Then our PR documents will start with "IV is an organization of 200 members who are affected by ... "
Human nature is such that a few lead and others follow. We should recognize this and move on.
