I am not sure when the CIR will pass...its not on Nancy Pelosi aganda in forseeable future... and several people already mentioned that if it didnt pass by MAY07 then you are looking at Jan 09 to get immigration stuff to happen...
I think we need to work on an interm EB relief bill ...which is absolutely non contraversial and try to pass it....not worring about piggy backing the CIR...
Issues such as h1 increase or adding more numbers need not be in it...we can include things like EAD after I-140...spouse/childer not considered for EB quota...etc...
Unless we act desissively now...its going to be a long way to 2009..
Pani, ak27, eb3_nepa, GCBy3000 etc in this thread,
Thanks for your concern and enthusiasm to get something done. We do need people like you to help us out in achieving what we have all set out to achieve. All Pls. signup for state chapters to be able to work together with other IV members in your state. Each chapter can organize 'meet the lawmakers ' drive as outlined in my posts. Currently only few people have signed up to help with the grassroots efforts. Without active participation from members we willl be seeing the frustrating visa bulletins every month and debating about it on forums.

LostInGCProcess,
The only reason I want to still enter on H4 is that my H4 is stamped until 2010, hence why not use it and save money and hassle on AP entry. As you have said that working on EAD immediately invalidates the H4 status. This is OK for me, but at least I have avoided the AP procedure stuff. Plus the primary applicant is on H1 and hence we both can enter on H1 and H4 respectively rather than one entering on H1 and the other on AP. Let me know if this clears your doubt and if so, can you think this would work out. Also, if you can, please respond to my other questions
Thanks,
There is no hassle when one enters on AP. You can continue to be on H1 and enter on H visa, and your wife can work on EAD and enter US using AP.
For all the questions that you have posted, the simple logic to follow, is once you use EAD, your H4 is invalid. Once you travel abroad and want to re-enter with H4 status, you are basically stating that you are going to comply with the immigration rules pertaining to H4 status. And then after entering you want to use EAD, then it would invalidate H4.
I suggest you consult a good immigration attorney.

Well here is what I have thought of doing if I get into your shoes when I140, US GC looks dicey. (I already have Canadian PR till August 2010).
I would take a three/four week vacation and go and live there. Prepare for a job and get first hand ground feeling of what it feels like living in Canada, make a living and raise a family. After all making a living to able to support yourself is a important corner stone thing. You can't live of fresh air.
Can you compare your situation ? No. You are not the same nature, skills, personality, intelligence and willingness as others and most of all your own Luck. You know yourself best and the only way you can tell that the place will work out for you is when you go get a sample for yourself and your gut feeling. I went to Vancouver and just loved the place. My wife saw the clouds and gloom and hates the place (spoilt by southern california). You will be your best judge.
Take the harshest sample: Winter is tough in Canada. Go now and take a feel of what you will be expecting and set your expectation.
Info: Approx 90% of the Canadian population lives within 100-200 miles north of the US border.
Down the road: Make a plan and see whats your options down the road. Looking back is no good way of planning for the future. 3 years + few months, you can be Canadian Citizen. You have then the option of using TN and come right back into the USA, if you even have the need. Looking back now I feel I should have started this journey 2 years back. In the next year or so I would be a Canadian and could have come right back without the 140 and 485 headache. After two years I am still holding my breath for 140. Rightfully, Heaven is where I feel at peace. US has made me feel miserable and bitter after 9 years of rough rollercoaster and no end in sight. Can't buy a house, can't live freely, always on the edge and mercy of the Boss and H1B.
Having Canadian PR in hand is like having a bird in your Hand, and US GC is like two birds in the bush (I feel the birds are in Bush in Texas :) and its going to eat me, rather than I eating it) You don't even have the US Bird in sight and the story is getting tougher....
All options good. Go spend some time in Canada and see what your gut feel says.

My bad. Yes I did mix up some facts :o Its the house and sensenbrener who sat on CIR confrence after senate passed it on may 25 till september.
There are some inaccuracies in your post:
The CIR in the Senate passed on 25th May 2006. Bill number S. 2611 of 109th congress. (See for this on thomas.loc.gov )
The 60 day waiting period is something that may be removed this year as this year, the Dems are in control.
I can go on and on about why CIR did not become a law in 2006. However if one were allowed just one phrase to describe the reason why CIR didnt happen in 2006, is : United States House of Representatives (http://www.house.gov/).
If you remember, in Nov 2005, the house had already pass its own CIR. They called it CIR, but no one else called it that. Its was H.R. 4437. Created by dear Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner. The bill provided for making illegal presence a felony and basically deporting 11 million already here. That was the House's CIR.
What happens this year, even God cannot predict. What we've said here at IV, is CIR will come in SENATE, in March-April. It will be debated and passed in Senate, most likely, just like last year. After that, as far as the House is concerned, it remains to be seen how much pressure the White House and Senate can put on them. Basically, if the White House were to direct a few more raids by ICE on some meat packing plants and some construction, that's all it takes for the House to be shamed into doing something about a widespread problem unless it wants to be called a do-nothing congress.
Now we cannot predict if the above course of events will take place. Its impossible to predict. Some people (on other sites) have laid out percentages like 20% chance this will happen, 80% chance that will happen. That's really laughable.

Please help me. There is no LUD on my status online. I had my finger printing done on sept 19. CODE 3. For both my husband and me!! I don't see any updates on the status online. Can someone tell me what I should do? FBI says they sent the prints the same day!!!!
Am I stuck in Name check already?? How do you know this?????
I called customer care USCIS, they say they don't have information regarding finger prints and you don't see updates regarding fingerprinting online. Is this true?
PLEASE HELP. YOUR ADVICE WILL BE VALUABLE TO ME IMMENSELY
OK. If you read my posts I'm in the same boat, no LUD after FP. I called FBI finger print number and verified the results were sent to USCIS the same day. I didn't call USCIS. I was also worried like you about getting stuck in Name check. I joined the Yahoo Name check group and one kind individual answered my question (thanks John). See below.
FP and namecheck are independent.
a)FP checks
your fingerprints against FBI fingerprint
databases and the result comes back within couple
of days (or maybe even one day).
b)fbi namecheck
compares all combinations of your name
against FBI national namecheck program database
(86 million records).
This one comes back faster (they say less
than 6 months) if there are
no hits , but if there is some hit ....then
human person needs to clear all hits by requesting
copy of the paper documents from any /all
of the 250 FBI offices across USA . So this
is time consuming process and some of us have
been waiting for over one year , two years , three
years etc.
the LUD thing has no significance. you cannot
interpret much from lud and it causes
unnecessary anxiety . some people don't get any
luds from receipt date until approval.
try a service request first to find out if your
namecheck is pending .if you get a letter saying
"processing of your 485 is delayed because
investigation into your background remains open"
or something like that , then it means the namecheck
could be pending !

I am going to India for couple months and plans to return back on AP.I am planning to get my passport Renewal in India.Is it OK to Renew in India as it shows my India address.
Thanks In advance
I think its easier to get the PP renewal done in US as it can be done via mail.
But i think its equally easy to get it done in India. I got my passport renewed within a week in India just last month. There is a 'Tatkal Service' for passport and you can apply under that and get your passport renewed very quickly.
One thing though, if you change your address on Passport, then it may go for police verification, but if nothing chnages on ur passport, you can get it back quickly in using Tatkal...hopefully within 1 week like i did.

gc_chahiye, Thanks for your response. So, can I be on H1 with my current employer, A, and on EAD with my new employer, B, simultaneously?
Also, employer B might be able to start me on H1-B (my preference--just in case)--though as you said, B will have petition my new H1 for concurrent filing. My other option, of course, is to wait until Feb '08--though I'll miss out on a month's salary from B (not a biggie in order to not have any potential issues).

Today, I filed an official complaint with IRS about this employer. They told, they are going to send a notice asking the employer to reply to the tax bearer within 10 days from the receipt of the letter. I don't know how the employer is going to react and if they would still provide a corrected W2. Hoping, they would provide, otherwise I would have to call IRS again after another 2 weeks time. I had to be on the phone line for almost 30 mins to reach the IRS customer representative. It is a real pain.

OK, for those who thought my name suggestion was serious , well I was just kidding, cuz this topic itself was a joke so I just played along with it,
I am not really effected by GC delay, cuz I was able to file I-485 in 2004 and I changed my job twice using AC-21 (refer to AC-21 thread I explained my situation), Also my wife is working with EAD, so I have no reason to go insane, but remember I still contribute to IV and itz cause, while I know many guys stuck in labor for last 5-6 years are still skepctical about IV.
Now back to H1B subject, I am glad IV is not promoting H1B increase, just because I came in H1B it does not mean H1B any better,
Why do I care about H1B.
Because I have been here for almost 10 years and I have seen how this program is abused, c'mon gusy we are educated and qualifed and we should not be so desparate to come to US by any means, when I say abolish H1B it does not mean I am against immigration, I just want reform the system where people have more option when they came here, How many of you guys are still hanging onto same company with same salary, think rationally and think beyound GC

Just a bump...and my two cents.
I don't own a D70, I have 10D but...I work in a local camera shop and sell D70's, left and right I might add. I'm hearing quite a bit about this backfocusing issue but nobody seems to be referring to it in the same manner. Most people are just saying their images are soft. At first it seemed like the problem was mainly happening for the people who were used to P/S cameras or simply not used to Nikon's AF system, so we basically gave suggestions similar to what you find here and told them that they could still return the cameras to Nikon if they were in warranty. Anyway, my one co-worker that doesn't shoot Canon buys a D70 and sure enough, he's complaining about soft focus. At middle apertures (on the kit lens, mind you) like 5.6 and 8 his images look sorta acceptable, but not tack sharp. We tried out the 12-24 and got better results (maybe just a sharper lens overall?), as well as with the 10mm fisheye, and of course all of the longer zooms, 80-200, and 200-400 were sharp. Could it just be that the kit lens, which nearly everyone has is just garbage? This guy is now seriously considering the 20D.
