Campaigns are good. But to solve this problem we have to go back to the basics of human nature, specifically how or what motivates politicians -
1. Votes
2. Money, Fame, Power
3. Good publicity or fear of bad publicity
We can not give #1 or #2 to the politicians. So our only option is #3. This was the reason why the flower campaign had worked, they feared bad pubilicity.
Again, they will not move even a single inch unless there is some motivation and as I said above our only option is #3.

Pappu, special thanks for researching this topic, and posting updates regularly.
Last week I too consulted a high profile (about $200 per 15 minutes... you should be able to guess, I am not sure I am alowed to mention the name) lawyer to discuss this issue. To give you a brief background, my lawyer did not include the Employment Verification letter
1) He told me that he would re-submit the AOS. The comparison to the medical clearance requirement, according to him, was pointless, as they are two different things. If USCIS issues a statement they will not reject solely based on the EVL, then we can assume that is the truth. Their statement on Medical clearance cannot be interpreted to say they won't reject on the basis of another missing requirement, say the EVL.
2) Filing two AOS packets can indeed also cause confusion, but it is a smaller risk according to him, and should be mitigated by a covering letter that says you are re-submitting to provide the XYZ document that was missed from the first packet.
Based on this info, I have asked my lawyer to get a confirmation from the USCIS on the document that he missed in my case-- the EVL. If USCIS okays that, we do not resubmit. If they don't do that within a week, I will try to re-submit... not going to be easy considering my lawyer may not be in agreement... but that is what would be the correct way out of this, according to the second opinion I got last week.
Thanks!

Please don't undercut the Flower campaign. We need to give time for this to percolate through the main stream media. Please please please don't start delivering all kinds of things to USCIS. My two cents!
PS: I did participate in the flower campaign early on so please don't post stuff saying I am a naysayer etc.

Thanks for your reply. Yes you are right but though I had the choice I was not allowed to enter on H1. Now when my AP is expiring on 01/26/2007 would it mean I may go out of status even if I have a valid h1 till 06/01/2007?
No, you will not be out of status. It only means you won't be able to travel out and re-enter after 01/26/2007 without obtaining another AP.

Vonage's cancellation early termination charge is $39.99 + Some admin charges = $45.
The $100 you are talking about is when you sign up and also ask for the router from vonage. what I did was went to craigslist and bought the vonage router for $15 and signed up for vonage. They sent the cancellation policy and charges by email which is somewhere between $40-$45.
I was earlier their customer when moved from vonage to T-mobile @Home. After a little argument they waived off the early termination charges and now because of the good customer service I joined them back. As by joining I got a free month of phone service as well.
I would say the reps on the other side also human being and depends on how one goes on to put up their point in the most polite manner without hurting anyone or anything in the process and results are always fruitful if the conversations are driven the right way.
Overall for me to make calls and recieve calls without any hassle is the key and I think vonage is pretty good at it. Moreover they moved their customer care I think moved back in US from phillipines as this time the conversation was smooth and didn't have to repeat the sentence again or didn't have to ask to say again.
Also I don't care if any competitor comes up with a $2 less + some more feature. Quality is the key and I think vonage beats everyone in that. I had a tough time fixing up my fax machine wiht sun rocket once upon a time and cancelled my service with them for that reason.
Vonage has a contract of 1 year. Have to pay around $100 if you break the contract.
Lingo has a contract for 2 years. Will have to pay a similar contract break fee for Lingo as well.
Monthly charges for world plan: Lingo is cheaper than vonage
Voice quality: Vonage is slightly better than Lingo. Lingo is ok too.
Customer service: Vonage is better than Lingo
Contract Period: Vonage 1 year. Lingo 2 years
Plan selections: Lingo has more plan selections.
Cheapest plan: Lingo $7.95/month for 250 minutes america plan. Vonage $17.99/month for 500 minutes US plan

According to ALIPAC every immigrant is 'illegal'. Who cares? They don't make the laws in this country.
I don't understand where is the conflict here. The website above - ALIPAC - is "Americans for Legal Immigration". From what I read in their website, they want to stop illegal immigration and they support legal immigration. Unless they have a hidden agenda, they should be supporting IV's letter campaign.
How is this in conflict? Am I missing something?

This is just a message to 2005/2006/2007 PD guys. Please don't think that some miracle will happen and dates will be current soon, it will take its own time. Mostly for EB2 & EB3June 2006- June 2007 guys, it will be like a lottery if the PD becomes current somewhere in 2007 Oct-Nov time. Right??
So life is not always easy. There are people waiting since 2002-03-04.
Don't think that life is not a FIFO always.
Why some of the guys became violent when I said, INDIA IS GREAT???
Guys.. do you know why I always feel like this???
As my parents,in laws and most of my relatives stay there. Not only mine, allmost all guys who are in the IV, they must have parents and relatives in India for sure. There is no other reason why I said India is great.
Someone asked me to pack up... YES, I will if nothing happens;however, I will be waiting to see the progress for sure. This is July. Let's have a look over OCT bulletin after 2 months and for sure dates will move atleast 4-6 months for EB2 guys and 1 year for EB3 guys. So wait, be patient, instead of doing all this.
Anyway, our turn will come sooner or later, so why to become impatient just seeing the JULY bulletin CURRENT and then "U".
Mainly this is the message for 2005-2006-2007 PD guys. Please don't take it otherwise.
Hey Smitha, if you have some extra cash, it sure sounds like you do given the fact you can afford to file multiple I-485s, feel free to donate some to IV.

My lawyer said u cannot have 2 485 petitions with USCIS.
My Lawyer's response - You should be aware that you cannot file two I-485 applications. If you file individually, there is no option to file as a dependent UNLESS the pending I-485 is withdrawn.
Awaiting reponse from my wifes lawyer.
ask the lawyer about specific issues that can happen if multiple filing is done.

I think you are doing the right thing here. My question .. what are the typical signs you need to watch out for to determine L1 violations are happening? How do you collect information / evidence that ICE or USCIS could find helpful and act upon?
'Symptoms' of this violation are
1. If your outsourcing partner (TCS, CTS, IBM etc) brings in a lot of resources and places them in client managed and executed projects and all these resources are supervised by client managers then there is a violation (pretty sure that more than half of the resources from these companies would be in L-1B, please refer the statistics published in this discussion).
2. If these resources are used for any common technical skills (Java/.Net/Oracle etc) in their projects, then you can expect a violation because all L-1B petitions are approved by uscis/consulate for speciality skills/tools. If you verify most of these petitions they would be approved for some XYZ internal tool specific to these companies (couple of L-1B brothers where generous enough to share these information). If these resources are used for any other skills/tools then there is a violation. In case of Blanket L1 petitions its pretty easy because there is no blanket petition approvals for any common technical skills.
Hope its clear to you now, please try to educate your client management first and try to avoid such a scenario, most of the times these outsourcing vendors won't budge to open up these petitions and then you have to report these cases to the corresponding authorities. One way we are doing good to L-1B resources, they can ask their organisations to process H-1Bs using this oppurtunity and come out of the bonded labour.

I personally do not travel through a country that are biased and requires a transit visa for specific countries only. If you think about it, most of the international flights are full of us, Indians. If everybody (including Indians with GCs, that do not require a transit visa) start boycotting such airlines/country transits, then they will have to change this policy.

We have already made plans for our India trip. We will be leaving US on June 2nd. Can we apply 485 on June 1st and leave to India on June 2nd.
Will there be any complications around this.
As we will be returning in July, we are not sure if my PD will still be current by the time we return back.
Thanks for your time and reply

we didn't know then that we have to file a I-539 extension for H4 extension (even couple of my friends had the same idea). We knew that as long as I am on H1, she would maintain H4. I came to know in Jan 2004 and then we applied for I-539. I know this is stupid but that what happened. Anybody has any experience please reply..please please. We are really sleepless this time.
It's your company's responsibility to make you aware about your dependent's status too.I worked for a small desi company for sometime and they lied that My wife doesn't need H4 extension because she is dependent on me.Fortunately I came out of that company.
