VB was distorted by the fact that LC process was expedited and back-log was cleared recently. Some of those with early PD just got LC approved and able to file last July 2007.
Therefore, getting back to old VB is not expected soon. I predict that it can take a year or so before it gets back to May 2007 VB.

THE HILL
http://www.thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/Business/022806_immigration.html
Anti-immigration groups up against unusual coalition
By Patrick O’Connor
The National Restaurant Association usually does not join forces with the National Council of La Raza, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce rarely, if ever, aligns itself with the Conference of Catholic Bishops.
But those organizations and many others have come together in support of a comprehensive immigration-reform bill that would expand guest-worker programs and offer undocumented workers already in this country a path to citizenship. They are up against an aggressive cross-section of single-issue organizations that favor increased enforcement of immigration laws and have condemned any legislation that would allow undocumented workers already here eventually to become citizens.
With the Senate Judiciary Committee expected to mark up its version of the immigration bill Thursday, groups on either side of the issue have geared up for a hard fight, and the vehemence and intractability of either side should make compromise particularly difficult for lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Staff members of many of the organizations involved in this fight stayed up much of last Thursday night poring over details of draft legislation released by Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) in anticipation of this week’s markup. By Friday afternoon, many of those organizations released statements either heralding or deriding Specter’s draft.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) has said he would like to move a bill to the floor by the end of March, meaning next month is critical in the years-long debate over immigration reform.
A unique coalition of divergent interest groups have rallied in support of a bill introduced by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), with select members of the AFL-CIO teaming up with social-welfare organizations, the Chamber and other business groups that support a temporary-worker program.
“The fact that the Chamber of Commerce needs comprehensive immigration reform is very good,” said Flavia Jimenez, an outreach director for the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy organization.
Members of the business community also appreciate working with groups such as La Raza because it allows the overarching coalition to communicate with Republicans and Democrats alike on Capitol Hill.
“It’s nice actually to get to work with these guys,” said John Gay, a senior vice president for government affairs with the National Restaurant Association, which co-chairs the Essential Worker Immigration Coalition (EWIC), a group of more than 40 business and trade associations seeking comprehensive reform.
Because the many groups within this broad coalition have slightly different priorities, they must communicate regularly to push common themes. In the end, these organizations are all fighting for what they consider the best interests of their dues-paying members.
“When push comes to shove, we will all become … forceful advocates for our members,” Gay said. “If we’re at an impasse on something, it’s not through misunderstanding. When we differ, it will be for real reasons.”
Despite the breadth of interest groups advocating an expanded guest-worker program, the enforcement-only crowd makes considerably more noise on Capitol Hill, if the flood of mail, e-mail and phone calls to member offices is any indication.
A handful of single-issue groups opposing the guest-worker program have effectively put the other side on the defensive since President Bush first announced his intentions to push comprehensive immigration reform, as evidenced by the administration’s backtracking since Bush first proposed such a program in January 2004.
One of those groups, Numbers USA, has 135,000 registered activists throughout the country and an e-mail list in excess of 1 million subscribers, all of whom have signed up voluntarily, said Caroline Espinosa, a spokeswoman for the group. A link on the Numbers USA website also allows browsers to fax a personal note to members of Congress in support of increased enforcement of illegal immigration.
Numbers USA also does objective and subjective summaries of each bill introduced on the issue and notifies subscribers in advance of any important actions on Capitol Hill, such as this week’s markup. As such, the group was expected to send an alert asking those supporters living in states represented by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to call or fax their members in anticipation of that markup.
Unlike their counterparts on the guest-worker side of the debate, these single-issue groups do not coordinate to the extent of their rivals.
“We’re pretty separate,” Espinosa said. “We don’t even share resources, even though we’re all working toward the same goals.”
Battling with groups like Numbers USA is an uncommon experience for many members of the business community because they do not regularly work on such socially sensitive topics.
“We don’t usually end up on the other side of single-issue groups,” Gay said. “That’s unusual for us.”
McCain was scheduled to appear at a union hall in New York City yesterday with a number of these groups as a demonstration of how the expanded guest-worker program is attracting broad, bipartisan support.
The White House has sent signals to Republicans in both chambers that it favors comprehensive reform, which could include an expanded temporary-worker program. House leaders passed an enforcement-only bill under the assumption that the Senate would take up the more politically difficult guest-worker issue.
The anti-immigration crowd has political momentum at this stage in the fight, with congressional Republicans wary to cast any vote that could turn off their conservative base during this critical election year, but members will also have a hard time ignoring such a broad cross-section of business, labor and social groups with their own self-interested constituents.
“We’re not trying to damage America,” Gay said. “We’re just trying to keep our restaurants open.”

speaker pelosi is the head of the house of representatives (Lok Sabha) with Steny Hoyer serving as majority leader in the House and Senator Reid is the majority leader of the Senate (Rajya Sabha). The president of the senate is the VP
Both have floor schedules and have issues that need to be debated on. the bill has to pass in both houses..either with the exact same wording or alternate text that will be reconciled in conference committee

I was with Swede and the Polish guy at the rally. I myself chose IV over other organization precisely because the diversity and the common ground IV embraces--they represent the true American Dream and the fundation of Democracy.
The diversity: IV was initially established by a group of Indians, but it has a welcoming attitudes toward anyone who has suffered, is still suffering, and will suffer from the broken system.
The common ground: IV clearly estabishes that English is the language for the forum (at least the main forum). By setting the language, the IV sends a message of welcome to all who share the American Dream. By including individuals across countries of origin, IV recognizes the nature of the Great Melting-pot and shows that we have the ability to be inclusive, tolerant, and work together on a democratic basis.
Let's make efforts to mobilize people across countries of origin and work towards success! KEEP IV STRONG!

I am in a similar position and am going to wait till the end of the year for the AP. I am hoping to be able to go for the H1B stamping with the AP. So if there is any problem with the H1 I can atleast re-enter using the AP. Its a nice backup...
What if your AP does not come until July next year ? Are you planning to wait until then to travel ?

Hi Attorneys/Seniors,
....
The problem of changing employer you have to hold your current employer untill your transfer is approved.
.....
Incorrect!
One can start working as soon as H-1B transfer is filed, if the beneficiary has (or had) H-1B status in past. Google for H-1B porting.

my employment is terminated a month ago. I still need to file h1 transfer to the GC sponser. I am single
I am told that H1 can be transferred only with in 10 days-20 days or so. which means that it is already a month. so in case if I dont get the h1 or if I have an issue in the H1 transfer, is that the end of my being H1.
If I were to be on H1 again is it going to come under the cap along with those new H1 filers? I still have one and half years to complete 6 years.
I have a fall back to EAD though based an approved 140 and 180 days past 485.
But how do I get the spouse then???
by relocating back to yr country or by having a long distance marriage or marrying a gc holder or h1 etc .. it is a tough choice for you ..

Got the approval notice today :) "Welcome to the United States of America" - ironically i have been in this country for a decade now! finally the "welcome" :)
It has been a very long journey!!! and a very frustrating one for the last few years... but the feeling that I now get is really liberating... first thing I did was thanked God for ending the seemingly endless wait that me and my wife (she didn't care as much) were in.
I'm already thinking of the things I want to do after this new found liberation... it includes showing the middle finger to those who have taken undue advantage of my status :cool: :D and i'm not taking it anymore... I'll be a new person starting Monday!
Just so there is no confusion... my PD was Feb 2003 EB3 but my wife's PD was EB2 April 2004... we got our freedom through her application. If anyone needs more info on how/what/when - i can share that (it had its up's and downs - mainly downs, but all's well that ends well)!
Lastly as a token of my real support to the cause of IV I will be donating a small amount. I have donated in the past... I have participated in conversations in the past... I was not so active on other fronts but I truly believe in this organizations effort to help the community. And God willing each one of you will get this freedom soon! God Bless!

I must agree - both are important..it is just each one of us have different cases and circumstances
that It might be important for OP but you should considerate about others you should not say that every body elses problem is nothing in-front of OP's problem ."Injustice" word sound like that.
as somebody said earlier abount OP tha it sounds selfish and mean.
When NSC people were getting Receipt and TSC were waiting , no body said ."Injustice" word .
So when it is not affecting you it 's fair.....But somebody else gets that you cry foul play ....Be considerate about others
Personally I wish all (NSC ,TSC , Carlifornia , Vermont ) filers should get there receipt , EAD and AP as well as Final GC as soon as possible

No I did not. Because my attorney did not ask me to do so. But, after I got my GC, they emailed me some instructions on what to do and what not to do. In that list they had this instruction to carry my GC with me all the time in BOLD.
So I got concerned and posted this which has resulted in a lot of hating and loathing. I am not understanding why is this my fault.
first of all congrates! I wish Goodluck to everyone waiting for GC....

nmdial I dont think the registrar will issue a birth certificate based on affidavit from the parents.
Usually for people who dont have birth registered at birth or hospital records we have to obtain a non-availibility certificate from the local authority. Along with this certificate we submit a notarized affidavit signed by one/both the parents. Now we have learnt that this affidavit has to be signed in the presence of the registrar. Hopefully that should be ok then.
My parents had submitted a notarized affidavit to the registrar (death and birth) of the local municipality and obtained my birth certificate. That was in 2006, the rules may have changed by now.

Did you fill the actual I-485 forms or just the questionnaire that employers usually send? in case you've filled actual forms that they will send, did you check the box on the right bottom where it asks if you'll be represented by an attorney...
In case of a questionnaire, you might get those forms filled by them for your signatures.
good luck
I filled the 485 forms my self.
Where is the box in the right bottom in 485 which says I will be represented by attorney?? In 485 I see two locations for signature (one for applicant) and other for representative?
Can my employer sign it now (without me sending G-28??)
