I had FREE company attorney but decided to file 485 etc. myself & it was so much better. You can easily do 140-485 etc yourself. Call me & I will tell you.
If at all use an attorney for PERM. In my situation, even that was screwed up & I had to do that myself.
It is high time, all of us capable of handling complex viral equations, do this simple job , spread the knowledge , save $$$ & contribute some savings to IV
Best wishes
Thanks Dude for your good words.
Well, I opened this thread just to have a knowledge about this which may not be useful now or in the near future; but you never know
I am working for a telecom giant and they use larrabee as their lawyer .
I, atleat, have very very bad experience with larrabee in combination with my
company's immigration department.

I am confused. it is very contradicting.
That's why there is a saying that you should never watch sausages and laws being made.
The Cantwell amendment and Lieberman amendment will fail to pass the vote. It doesnt matter whether its ordered to lie on table or whether its ordered to take a nap on the table or have some lemonade on the table. And it doesnt matter what any of those "Motion to... " means.
Both of those amendments, if debated, will fail. It will take 10 seconds for Bernie Sanders, Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin to scream on top of their lungs and kill it. And the reason is very simple. There is a massive H1B exemption ON TOP OF 180,000 QUOTA. People who have been so successful this year so far in restricting H1 and employment based GCs are not going to miss that nice little H1 exemption at the bottom of both these amendments. So stop scratching your heads over what the "lying on table" means, because whatever is lying on table is unpassable if it somehow awakes from the table and starts dancing in the well of the senate floor.

hydboy77,
This seems to be an entirely new issue. I think it deserves to have its own thread. Let the current thread handle the original issue.
Thanks.
Dear Administrator2\IV core,
Just getting the provision to file AOS when priority date is not current without the other provisions that are related to pre filing AOS like "removal of semilar\same job restriction when using EAD\AC21" is not good. Dont get me wrong I understand how much the guys who missed out on the july fiasco want to prefile AOS and get EAD but without the provision to remove the restriction of same\semilar job requirement in AC 21 it (EAD) is useless. By now everyone knows that USCIS is heavily issuing RFE or denial notices for h1b transfer and extension. It is just a matter of time before USCIS starts issuing RFE or denial notice on EAD\485 as well. The prime candidate for USCIS to kick out people using EAD\485 is the same or semilar job restriction while using EAD\AC21. If everyone gets to pre file AOS without PD restrictions then USCIS will make using EAD as difficult as using H1b. Please fight for the removal of "same\semilar job requirement in AC 21" along with prefiling AOS so that everybody gets true relief and it really becomes a win win situation, otherwise it is a waste and will speed up uscis making life miserable for EAD workers.

OK we may be in slight uncertainty now but if this bill comes up most of us will be in deep shit:
No H1b consulting;
change in h1b policy no new, no extensions, no transfers (crazy regulations thanks to Sanders and Durbin)
No H1b for medical residencies
No NIW for physicians
Nothing for nurses
US masters and other not H1b cap exempt
Worse retrogression (no relief)
Disaster for pending L certification and pending I 140s
No EB1 for outstanding aliens
New useless point based system (look at the point based system in Canada: PhD and masters are driving Taxis... ha!)
We must pray that this bill dies FOREVER.
We will be happiest then.

I cancelled my tickets because of the FP appointment I had on same day.
You could have called the local finger print office, and asked to move to another day because of travel. They let me come in 2 weeks early because of a flight. I had tickets in hand but they didn't ask to see.

the world is not fair, I am willing to fight my part to make it fair and just for all.
Kartik, as long as we, the EB3 do not come forward and collect huge amount for lobbying, we will continue to lurk here for many more years.
Unfortunately the sad part is, whatever lobbying is done actually helped only EB2 I, may be due to a wrong notion by USCIS that all Hi-tech immigrants are EB2. This could be a fact as there are thousands of 245 cases that fell into EB3.
Another bad thing was that USCIS release this VB yesterday which means one extra day to CRY.
I do not blame any one, but ourselves. We do not want to spend money and hence dying in this process. No solution, but cry at every VB day.

I dont mean to discourage folks here...
But here is what I have seen more often with MBA. Techies like programmers, business analysts in IT sector have done their MBAs from good schools and ended up doing the same job EVEN WITH GREENCARDS.
I have seen GC holders doing MBA and then after finishing MBA ending up with same job description with a 5% increase in pay.
So please do your research in HOW MBA is going to help you in your situation. Your job and your INTENDED JOB POST MBA may not really need you to have an MBA. And I have seen this way too often. So think before you pluck down 30,000 dollars on a degree that might do little benefit financially after you complete it.
But nothing can discourage me more than Visa Bulletins each month. But starting this thread has promted me with the idea of FREE MATH TUTORING BY IV. Gets positive media attention hits the nerve..

Updates:
I got an email from my law firm, that my packet was refused to be accepted by USCIS.
I received the email from my law firm (Monday night - July 2) that:
Please note however your case was sent to Nebraska last night and did arrive - we tried!
Which means mine was sent or reached NSC sunday night or must have been hand delievered early Mon morning. Don't know exactly what happened. I just trust them!!!!
I didn't bother to ask my law firm further details. I will ping them first thing monday morning and try to give any update I get. I hope they have some proof of the refusal!!!!!!!............
it seems that it was delievered late july 2nd for USCIS to refuse accepting yor package. From what you wrote it seems the package has been returned without opening !!!
sorry again about your news.

I second this idea.
Why can't we move from a free service to a membership based and see how many people still continue ... evenif with 25K members it is only a handful who are active and part of the initiative ... so I would suggest to go for a membership ...
it could be a per month basis or pay a big amount and get membership for life or year ... say $200 for a year or $20 for a month ... we don't need the number/mass unless they are active in all way ... just my thoughts ... hope the IV core team will consider that ... enough of free rides ... now pay for it and get the access to forums ... :mad:

Its a funny idea that we can help them write a pgm. But be real, It is a gov data and will have sensitive info. It takes money to make money. So lets spend it.. 5K is not a big deal. It is perfectly legal to ask for money when we need info from FOIA.

knowDOL, could you please tell me what comes after the Labor cert. until the Employment Authorization (that will let me work)? Thanks.
I know nothing about the law, but as far as I know today the democrats are trying to pass a bill in which the people living illegaly for over 2 years can apply for temporary working visa that will let their spouses work (nothing wrong with that, just the exclusion of the H-4s as spouses of temporary workers which are the only ones not allowed to work). If they do not get 60 votes today, it passes tomorrow to a compromised bill that it says that if you came to US before Jan 1, 2001 you can apply for the work permit, and the green card later and then the citizenship. If you came between 2001 and 2003 you have to go back and get a work permit and come back, and if you came after 2004 no special treatment. since nobody has included in the ammended bills the H-4s it cannot be discussed tomorrow, but I do not know what is the procedure to get a bill considered and debated, there is a bill that considers the H-4s right to work and it is called TALENT "Through the Advancement of Legal and Educated New Talent.” but who knows if it will get considered.
May be the people from immigrationvoice can let us know what is the procedude to get the H-4s work authorization considered, thanks.

Please read section 405 of Bill Frists summary for his bill
http://frist.senate.gov/_files/031706section.pdf
It clearly mentions that the immediate application of I-140 and I-485 applies to f-4 visa holders only that too if they find a job in their field within 1 yr of graduating. and on payin $1000
it remains to be seen which category is elgibile for f-4 (only phds or more). it is possible that some current students on f-1 will be eligible for conversion to f-4.
for rest of f-1 students it simply allows for 2 yr OPT instead of curretn 1 yr.
it also implies that the labor cert exemption does not apply to already graduated MS or PhD STEM degree holders with or without 3 yrs exp.
my 2 cents
