mallu is right. H1B status expires immediately when a person stops working. An employer is required by law to notify the USCIS about a lay off and the USCIS revokes H1B as of that date. There is no grace period, so the only chance to preserve H1 status is to find a new job and file H1B transfer BEFORE the lay off. Preserving I-485 is a different story and you are in a good shape regarding GC. Just find a new job, use EAD and stop worrying about H1 status. It does not worth the hassle and you may not get any benefits from H1.

There is not a word that I disagree. Your are preaching to the choir:)
I wasn't even talking about the 55K, just the X-55k. X being the all EB immigrants-in-waiting. They will join after the advocacy day if they change their opinion, if not there's no change whatsoever.
Hypothetically speaking, let's assume all the 55,000 members in IV are active but are not organized under one umbrella (IV). Each of them have the same problem (stuck in the backlogs) and each of them approach lawmakers. Each discusses their own personal case and each of them discuss about a solution that fits them - (human nature). Some of them may be the very same provisions as IV. But will these 55,000 people mention all the provisions? chances are - No.
So, there will be no coherent messaging, even though there are 55,000 people participating simultaneously.
Second, without being an organized unit, we loose the collective strength. Say a lawmaker is interested in fixing our problems - his task will be tremendous - he probably has only 10 people who have approached his office to fix the problem - so not only does he have to find out if there is a wide range of people affected by this problem, he also has to contact each of the 10 people individually. Guess what? he too will suggest for the 10 people to join forces and be under one umbrella.
What I am trying to say is that IV has already brought us together. It has built good relations with key people in DC. It has done the ground work. Why not build on the sound foundation?
In life we are ready to be grouped as Indians, Indian-Americans, Asians, Male, Female, Married, Unmarried, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, political organizations (we believe in one or the other - independents, democrats, republicans, congress, bjp), Unions, Employees of Cisco, IBM, Desi Consulting - what is wrong in identifying oneself in a group if you believe in it? By nature we are a collective group, but we think that it is wrong/unnecessary to belong to a group! We think we are smarter for being independent. But the truth is that even the most independent of the guys lives in a society. He may not accept it, but that does not change the facts.
Bottom line is, what each one of us believe in. If we believe in a cause, we will find a way to work on it. Quantity matters only when there is quality. If we have to depend on only one, my preference would be on quality. I want the loudest person, but at the same time, I want that loud person to be shouting the message that I want - or else it defeats the purpose.
Leo, this is just my opinion, not IV's - though I would think IV will agree with me. I believe in collective strength and individual's logic to think matters through.
I have nothing more to say.

Guys,
I took an info pass last week to check the status of my case. Specifically to check whether the interfile is success or not. IO at USCIS office mentioned that she cannot check whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. I am surprised to hear that. Gurus any has this kind of experience?
Also, She mentioned that my case is assigned to an Officer on August 13th. Do any one has any info how many days(on average), an Office will take to approve a case. Any info. is helpful to me and all.
Overall the Field Office people were polite.
Thanks,
Thun.

I got the same answer when i went to my Infopass appointment.The IO could say whether it is EB2 or EB3. I specifically asked him to confirm my category Eb2.

Hi,
I just want to confirm that first shot of varicella will be enough, for the med report.
All the best !!
as long as you already got the first shot you will be okay. my husband and i just got our first hepatitis b shot and we need 2 more shots after that. our doctor said to just be ready for the proof when and if USCIS asks for it. it's good you were able to get an appointment. good luck!:D

Background: Current AP expires on Oct 24 2010. I don't have the new AP yet, but I should have it soon, and I expect it to be valid from Oct 25 2010 - Oct 25 2011.
Question: Am I allowed to leave the US on Oct 20 2010 (during the validity of the old/current AP) and return on Oct 30 2010 (during the validity of the new AP) if I carry both APs with me?
Thanks!

What if you have to leave the job before 180 days, about after 150 days? When I say you have to that means there is no alternative. Employer-Employee issues. Quite a few folks here might be aware of it. But anyway, I read that USCIS will consider 180 days based on the I-485 'Received Date' and I-140 'Revoked date' will be the date USCIS act on the letter they receive from Employer requesting to revoke I-140 not the date employer will send letter to USCIS. I'm aware that there is no specific guidelines of which date USCIS will consider as 'Revoked date', but I heard USCIS mentioned verbally in many conference that they consider I-140 'Revoked date' as when USCIS act on the letter they receive from employer. Any thoughts?

Thanks! I have visited this web site before. Now my doubt is, if I show my EAD as a proof for the status, I am worried about they will give DL only for 3 months i-e till the validity of EAD. Then I have to go again to DMV after 3 months to renew again for another 9 monts validity of new EAD. This is pain in bu--, as it continue till I get GC. Due to the retrogression, I do not know when I will get GC.

Wake up people .... E-filing is better than paper filing !!!
Why me and some other Desis still do not e-file - cause, most likely our company lawyers takes care of it. And it works just as well. We get to do the all important task of signing the papers. :D
Good point though... seriously consider e-filing next time. With the retrogressed dates and no CIR in sight, most of us Desis will get ample opportunity to test out newer technologies by the time we get our GCs. :D
Everyone, have a great long weekend!

I think, last week, two threads were locked due to very hot discussion on this issue. This discussion will create more heat again.
i guess my post was mis-interpreted so i have modified it to clarify it. what i meant was if IV considers it is not asking for too much - they feel it will not jeopardise "ability to file 485" provision then having AC21 advantage without waiting for six months would be like "sone pe suhaga"

If Paul's hunch that we'll see the 1Ds' successor by September is correct, then we might see cheaper 1D-II bodies prior to that.
As for the Kodak, it certainly has the resolution, but it doesn't seem as if it's generating much enthusiasm. The 1Ds (with less pixels) OTOH has. Removing the very expensive anti-aliasing filter was probably not Kodak's greatest moment.
I think the Kodak has alot more problems than just AA problems!!!
And any time a product drops by 50% in 1 year its normally not a good sign

:mad: 12/11/2006: USCIS Considers Termination of Concurrent Filing (140/485)
According to the USCIS rule-making agenda, the USCIS is to propose to terminate current concurrent I-140 and I-485 filing. The proposed rule is scheduled to be published in March 2007 with 60-day comment period. It is thus not imminent, but in the later part of next year(Oops!), the immigrant community may see a totally different filing procedure including electronic registration and filing just like current PERM labor certificaiton application procedure. Once the concurrent filing is terminated, the immigrants may experience a terrible pain as related to maintenance of nonimmigrant status pending I-140 petition, eligibility for 245K benefit, plus unavailability of EAD and AP pending I-140 petition, AC-21 180-day portability, etc. etc. Should the I-140 petition processing be dragged, the pain will be extremely unbearable!
