You are correct, existing law is not fair but we have no say in this. If and when CIR is passed, this can be repelled or at least relaxed. So instead of wasting energy on these, lets meet lawmakers and educate and push for a CIR that works for everyone. Again don't start another blabbering that CIR is only for illegals etc. It is the only way out at this point or be my guest and wait eternity extending EAD/AP.
Another Example:
Let us say, Employer XYZ has 3 employees on H-1B. Its upto Employer's choice to file green card for any or all of them. Employer may decide to sponsor employment based green card for only 1 of them.
If employer decides to sponsor green card for only 1 of the H-1B worker, can other 2 H-1B workers claim right to get sponsored based on Equal Opportunity Law? The answer is No, since it is perfectly ok and does not come under employment based discremination.
People here are mixing 2 different laws without knowing law's applicability limitations.

how people get to know about IV when they are in a situation like this
but the very sad part is, their unableness to realize they are directly / in-direclty into this retro mess already or will be in the near future
donno if i would be like that, if i were one of them. lucky people though.

No immigrant Visa is available until the thing is current. From my understanding, Adavnce Parole is not a visa. Quoting from the net.
"Advance Parole is permission for certain foreign nationals, who do not have a valid immigrant visa, to reenter the U.S. after traveling abroad"

I also heard a lot of different things from some of my friends not sure if all of them are true or not. I have heard that people who did Labor substitution or converted from EB3 to EB2 are getting unusually high number of RFEs compared to others. Also DOL seems to be tightening up and scrutinizing EB2 applications vigorously(this is hear say don't take my word for this). Personally the one fact that I can vouch for from my experience with my family and vast circle of friends that did apply for Green cards is that people with a straight forward EB2 application had much higher chances of getting approved even with a later priorty date. I know four friends with a PD of June 2005 EB2(and many more with earlier PDs) from one retrogressed country who got green cards during that 1 month in July 2007 when all the dates were current. But I also have several friends who are either EB3 to EB2 conversion or EB3 with much earlier PDs (2002/2003) who unfortunately are still waiting for their I 485 approval even with an earlier PDs(most of them even did PERM Labor with transfer of PD or EB3 to EB2). many of them are still replying for RFE for one or the other issue. Does having a complicated application with EB3 to EB2 transfers/ Labor substitution delay the processing or lead to more scrutiny from USCIS? I don't know. I would like to know more from the other friends in the forum who have received RFE recently regarding their experiences. Also any straight forward EB2 filers who got RFEs please post your experience.

We are in the same boat, and I came across this forum via google as well. We are Canadians living in Texas - my husband has a SSN (H1B) and my daughters and I have ITIN's (H4). This is blatant discrimination and is infuriating to me.
I am happy to join the group to get something done. I will keep my eyes on the board for further action.

Here is how I made up my mind to go to the Rally.Most of us waited for an average of at least 3 years in my case, this is my 10th year waiting to get a Green Card after two failed attempts of starting the process and changing employers in 1999 and 2000 and counting. All of us really don't know how many more years do we need to wait and getting extensions every year, either for your visa or for your travel Parole, or your EAD. Most of us are tracking our receipts now, why, because we don't have a transparent system, did you get an LUD, Did you get a FP notice how come I did not get one, where is my application, did your application get to TSC, was it transferred to NSC, what did your lawyer tell you, why did my lawyer tell me this way.
Why are we all passionately managing and exchanging so much information, because we have no clue what is happening behind the scenes. All of us know there are a very few who will get a green card tomorrow, but for most of us, we keep tracking to see anything in the change of status. Feeling uncertain is not a good feeling, I felt it for the last 6 years. How long will an employer wait patiently for you, how long will your wife wait to see she can work, how long will your in-laws respect you when you said during marriage, oh she will be able to work very soon:), how long will you keep convincing yourself, everything will be fine if I just sit and do nothing?
THAT IS WHY I SHOWED UP, THE SENSE OF SATISFACTION IS IMMENSE TO STAND UP AND PETITION. TO MEET LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION!
But the feeling of "being uncertain" made me go. The excitement that I could meet so many many of you who work selflessly and volunteer so much of your time was priceless.
When we finally reached there, we saw moms, who had kids volunteering, sometimes we had babies, kids in the situation room helping mom organize things, we had people drive from far places, leaving kids in neighbors/baby sitters home and had to drive back late night for 2 3 hours to get back to them. We had people hit the bed at 4 am in the morning and show up the next day all suited up and ready to meet lawmakers at 7 am. That made our trip look so simple!
Guys we respect everyone's reasons, yes we do have lots of genuine reasons and it is not for me to judge personal reasons on how important they are. The point I am trying to make is purely this, think it through and see how you life was or will get affected by this process. Many of you filed your 485 and are instantly gratified that things are fine. I can't stress enough that this is not the case. When I got to file in June I was very excited, I used to see LUDs, FP, got EAD, Travel Parole and everything and then nothing happened. It stays there and from all the statistics, numbers and logic that we all apply, it will stay that way for years. If you think you are out of the woods, think again, all it did was from one stage of the clog, now we are clogged to the other stage of clog. If you think you are now easy to move around, change your jobs, think again. It is extremely complicated with no guarantees that the USCIS officer will interpret your job duties that same way!
Sometimes during discussions we all think, what is it that is stopping you all to come, sometimes after working so hard there does happen a feeling, what reason is big enough for them to not show up, when we did. So please don't get offended either way, we want all of you, we want everyones support and keeping egos asides, lets think how best can we speak in one Voice! Lets all be involved with IV activities, action items and work on it passionately. Remember each of your voice makes Immigration Voice stronger and be heard better!!!

My question is more regarding USCIS website for e-filing.
I already have an account to monitor my 485/EAD status status.
I was wondering if one needs to create a new account for e-filing
Thanks in advance.:)
Yes. You need to create a separate account.

Really an interesting issue to talk about. I came to this site via google search. I am in the same boat. I am living in country for 14 years (F1 and now H1) with SSN. My wife never worked here; so she has H4. We have a daughter born here with SSN. We could not get this "stimulus rebate" because we filed "married filing jointly". I understand from IRS site that if you filed "married filing separately" you would get the benefit and you can later on amend your filing as "married filing jointly" (04/14/08). This may be beneficial if you "itemize" your deductions. You will still qualify for excemptions. But, if you do not itemize your deductions, your standard deduction will be halved if you file "married filing separately".
We filed married filing joingly and received our tax returns and no stimulus rebate. Can we re-file our tax return by filing separately this year (i.e. extension/amendment within 3 months?) Has anyone done this? Please let me know.
I would love to a part of any legal battle to raise our concern. Please keep us posted. I plan to check this site regularly. Also, please keep us updated with getting SSN for H4 visa holders.

But then again - there are lot of rules that doesn't make sense. I feel that it is better to spend energy to get them amended..
if you could make a difference then take your pick from ....
a) ban EB3-Eb2 porting
b) or EB1 abuse
c) or eliminate country quota
d) or recapture the visa
e) or don't count dependents in EB category.
f) or abuse by body shop consutling firms
g) or Automatic GC or citizen after x years........
h) ..... list goes on..
.. if all could be done @ same time - it would be perfect..
The officials at DHS/USCIS read your message and all your wishes are granted.
but in reality your comment is not going to help.
We need money honey. Open your mind and wallet.:D

Look at the unity in our diversity...for a moment while reading some of the comments I forgot I was in the US and looking at an supposedly elite forum...Bravo!! Keep it up Indians (Tamilians, Gujaratis, Marathis, Bengalis, Biharis, etc..)
One more thing, if you are upset with a person who misbehaved with you (in this case, rudely told you he didn't know any language other than Hindi), then logic tells me I should be upset with that person and not the reason (in this case, language) itself.
I belong to a Hindi speaking part of India, and I have lived in Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. I've had people tell me very rudely to talk in the native languages of these areas and I've tried, sometimes successfully and sometimes, not so much. The rudeness of a few members of the community never led me to form a general opinion. I've very close friends from all over India.
It is my opinion that one should try to learn the local language. It bodes well for everybody and makes life easier. As matured people that we are, I think this is a very trivial issue to fight among ourselves or get emotional.

Apologize for extending the topic....but one of the 'still open' question is what if the Second Employer H1B is 'NEW' and what if it is 'Transfer'.
Murthy document does not say about the Company B H1B is NEW or TRANSFERRED.
If New H1B and Transferred H1B are same....then problem is solved.
Many of you here said both are same. I assume so too. But, we haven't proved Gapala is wrong yet (no hard feelings gapala. it is not my intention to hurt you). if 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are different, Murthy should have mentioned in her Document, but she did not do that. So, can we safely assume, that 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are same.
Thank you everyone who responding to my post.
