Maintaining H1 is recommended not only for reapplying i485 but also to maintain status. Without valid H1, if I-485 is denied one is "out of status" and does not have time to appeal the 485 denial.
Please check with your immigration attroney as they know it better but here are few things i heard:
EAD+AP:
after 6 mths of I-485 filing, shifting jobs would be easy with EAD. costly because of yearly renewal but worth based on your situation. i prefer renewing this EAD+AP, even in H1 so that you can shift jobs when you got the oppurtunity because EAD takes 3-4 mths approval time and you can travel using AP like H1 when you dont have H1 stamping. Even if you have H1stamping but if you use EAD/AP while entering US then you are no longer in H1 unless you go out and come back with H1.
Cons: Fees is increased by 60-80% this yr for EAD+AP, so costly. Also if for any reason anyone's I-485 is denied then the period he/she used EAD will be out-of-status so applying I-485 again wont be easy with "out-of-status" but still possible, check with your attroney.
Note: But couple of my friends changed jobs using EAD+AP and got GC without any issue. so it depends case to case and your application and how USCIS process it.
H1:
no need to renew EAD+AP but i feel it is always better to have both H1 & EAD/AP unless you want to save money. H1 gives oppurtunityto reapply I-485 even if denied. I think Job shifting is possible with H1 transfer, but check with attroney. Also you need to do H1 renewal and to travel abroad you need H1 stamping while entering US again.
hope this gives an idea.

If you read closely, it appears like the 290,000 immigrant visas would be true for years from now on and for years 2001-2005 (the diffrence between current limit and this section). If that's the case and if that becomes a law, there is possibility there will be no backlog after that for some time...short time probably. Please correct me if I am wrongly reading this section. But for me, it appears it applies retroactively and will add the diffrence (150k a year) between years 2001-2005. If my calculation and understanding is correct, once this act becomes a law, the first year there would be 290k + 600k from years 2001-2005 ......I am not sure if my understanding is correct. I prey it is..
I don' think there is a point which says the visas from 2001-2005 will we
290K. From this fiscal year it will be 290K.
1) The total number of visa available that were not used last year
2) the total number of visa available that we not used from 2001-2005
From 2001-2006 the total was 140K
140 / 4 categories = 35000K for each(India-china-mexico-other). Now we do not know how many were unused from 2001-2006.
From what I understand, I do understand the country limits, and my guess is
There is no country limits, but only EB type limits.
If I am correct the dates of Each should move at least 2-2.5 years from now.
I believe people who need I-485 filling option without priority date should hope to get this too. STEM section has more support to be passed because it was never an issue in any of the houses.
This is my understanding-- I may be wrong

Every time someone comes up with something new they get shot down here by "certain" other members. They try to find reasons to say it was a bad idea rather than saying something constructive. Give this guy a chance.
...and what's the point of this discussion here? The point is not lost on anyone here that such bill(s) are needed and passed. So I am not quite sure what you hope to achieve by this poll - will this lead to any action on your part to write up such a bill or talk to your congressmen/women about the points discussed here? :confused:
I think a lot of people here just like to discuss the hell out of this topic just make themselves feel better! :rolleyes:

1. Can we move from CA to TX after I-485/EAD/AP is filed from California?
You can move but are you changing employment? If yes, AC21 kicks in only after 180 days after filing 485, assuming 140 is approved.
2. We do have a PO address is Texas now and have an apartment in CA for next 5 months.
Do you recommend to use the Texas PO Box address instead of California Apartment address for USCIS I-485 application such that we can avoid the Change of Address with USCIS later?
Check with lawyer, you can change the address later. But I think your move is too soon, so again check with lawyer.
3. What are RISKS of moving from state to state during I-485 process? Did anyone do that in this forum?
People have done this before but again check with lawyer, your move seems to be too soon

1.46% 2007
_______________
Total Visa available / country = 140000/7% = 9800 in a year
Keep aside 10% for other categories, so 90% available for EB2 and EB3
9800 - 980 = 8820 total available for India EB2/EB3
50-50 between eb2 eb3 (assumption - probably a bad assumption)
4410/year available for EB3?
(This is where it really gets tricky!)
ASSUMPTION -
Approximate Indian EB3 Applications
Total Indian applicants / 2 (50-50 between eb2 and eb3)
Total 200k (low estimate) so EB3 100k approx
+ 100k Dependants = 200k Total EB3
Year 2001/2002/2003 = 43.21% = 46286
Number of years to clear off Backlog (2003 and prior) = 46286/4410 = 10 1/2 years
Up until 1/5/2007 PD was stable at around 5/8/2001
I think EB3 movement will be very slow based on above calculations
EDIT: Even if Unused Visas get funneled down to EB3 India > cut the time in 1/2 still looks like 4-5 years to clear EB3 < 2003
Does this sound right?

Let me start saying that I am not 'stats guru' either.
My simple way of looking at it is the way it happened in June-July 2007. Why did they open the gates? To use up the VISA numbers for the FY.
What can they do to do the same this year? Open it again (may not make it current but to the extent they can use 140000 by Sep 30 2008).
As most 485 applications will notbe processed for another 6-9 months (among Jun-Aug filers), dates will move forward (may become current as well) and whoever has their 485, name check processed will get their GC besides all pending at CP.
They definitely do not have 140000 processed, name-check-completed 485 applications at hand. Hence dates will move.

Everywhere I am seeing few EB-3 india folks showing concern about the grim outlook for EB-3 india due to retrogression, noone else care about this.
It looks like many EB-3 RoW folks are relying on the VISA spillover to them and becoming "c" very soon....I dont see any reactions at all from those members either on or IV forums.
Writing to US senators and Congress Reps is the way to get some relief for EB-3 india. Each one of us should write our own story and present this USCIS pending inventory to them and educate them on how long it will take for us to receive LPR status without any releif from US congress.
VISA recapture will be easier to pass in US congress and IV should start campaign for VISA recapture. IV will receive lots of funding if they initiate this campaign as many EB-3 india folks are willing to donate for this cause.

I have applied for birth certificate at Indian Consulate, SFO and received from them. They simply attested the information on my Passport on their letter head..will that be sufficient or I should get it from MRO/etc from India?
The birth certificate you get from the Consulate is not sufficient for I-485. If you don't have a birth certificate from the Municipal corporation of the city where you were born: then you need a Non-Availability certificate from that Municipal Corporation + 2 affidavits from close relatives.
Check with your lawyer for more information.

Can't pick stocks in this Volatile market, but one thing is certain the markets will be volaile for some time now. So I suggest be long Vega. Pick a stock where the implied vol is higher than historical vol (you will find plenty. Eg C) and put on an option straddle. Sure to make money.
This is not a day trading strategy but a derivatives trade.
Please also recommend stocks for tomorrow...

It is quite childish to create a new id every time you want to say something negative. Your message may be simple and straight forward, but it lacks the integrity or any trust worthiness.
This thread has gone anywhere. It could be simply because of the lack of EB3 I members participation. There is a definite lack of support from the vested parties and a few are discrediting this solution from getting traction and to top it all, I don't see any rational explanation against this. All I see is uncivilized personal attacks, self gloating and people who love to have fun at the misery of others.
As I said before, I will go ahead and do research on what we can do about it and use my years of invested social capital to see if I can do something about it. Once I get some thing substantially done, I will come here for support.
For the "skillz" person, I personally enjoyed your rants. I have/had chances to know personally and professionally many Stanford graduates, I believe they are not as much as fun as you are. :)
============
I believe in talking simple and straight. Well, EB3 friends have every right to work for their benefit. Nothing wrong with that. EB2 people should therefore unite and protect their interests too. EB2 group should unite and lobby hard to ensure that the current equation EB1 > EB2 > EB3 is not disturbed. After all, everyone is selfish when the pins are down. EB2 friends, can we be proactive and protect our interests before it is too late? Nothing to get emotional about

I don't have clear picture on what IV is planning to do now except that FOIA drive. I request the core team to inform all IV members explicitly about their plan. I guess there will be more donations than they expect.

I am not sure how consulate will consider if present address is not given.. I dont see any reason not to provide current address here.. It just provides your presence in USA. For visa proof, just send your H1B approved notice copy notarized. That should take care of it.
Hope this helps!
Can i have both the address to be a India permanent address? Is there any way to avoid US address in passport? Presently i am on H1 visa. I have entered with L1 visa which is expired. Later my company transferred me to H1 visa which is not stamped. What are the documents i need to submit for visa proof?
