lets fight to recapture Visa numbers from the previous years.. As this article rightly points us, the road ahead:
Not the End of the Road
Still unresolved is the issue of green cards that have gone unused in the past decade or more. USCIS estimates that 10,000 green cards of the 140,000 allotted for employment-based applicants were not issued last year. Immigration Voice estimates that 200,000 in total have gone unused in the last decade. Immigrant advocates have been urging the federal government to offer make these green-card slots available to help relieve the backlog of those waiting for green cards, an estimated 500,000.
Using green cards from previous years would require legislation from Congress. Lofgren says there have been "some discussions going on informally" about whether such a move is possible. But it's no sure thing. It would be difficult to pass such legislation in a Congress that is leery of any immigration issue after a comprehensive reform effort with the support of President George W. Bush and bipartisan leaders in the Senate got shot down earlier this summer.
Meanwhile, immigrant advocates say they will continue to press to speed the process of turning workers with visas into permanent residents. "This [decision] helps us move from a more painful limbo to a less painful limbo, but it's limbo nonetheless," says Immigration Voice's Pradhan. "Adjustment of status is not our final destination; green-card status is."

As far as I know since you have already been counted towards the cap once because of H1b approval for Company A(nonymous), you can get another non excempt H1b again in the next 6 years.
Dont you feel that you may be abusing the H1b by doing this? Anyways, like its always suggested, talk to an attorney.
I have a approved H1b from company A. Company A also shared a copy of approval. I was never counted under H1b cap before this approval. If I now decide not to join company A and assuming company A will not cancel H1b, can I use this H1b to join another company B later using H1b transfer…???? I am presently on cap except H1b and need a cap subject H1b in order to move to any private firm. So approval from company A matters a lot to me.
Has anyone done this…????
Thanks in advance...

better pray for the CIR to be passed first.
then get a comfortable chair and wait for the 20+ millions illegals to get ahead of you in the queue
This is not 100% true. However, they will have some effect!
does anyone know when they will discuss it - in the house and in the senate?
Senate: last 2 weeks of May.

From Business Week: A report released on Tuesday makes the case that increased immigration is not a cause of increased unemployment in the U.S. The study, �The Unemployment Disconnect: Untying the Knot,� was issued by the Immigration Policy Center, the research arm of the American Immigration Law Foundation, an association of immigration lawyers that generally supports pro-immigration policies. The study sets out with the assertion that if immigrants are taking jobs away from native-born workers, �one would expect to find high unemployment rates in those parts of the country with large numbers of immigrants.� Examining state, county, and metropolitan area...

I mailed my EAD application around 2nd week of Dec'09 to Nebraska. I too was waiting for my check to be encashed. However, last week I got the check( with the correct amount of $340.00) returned. Couple of days later I got my EAD application receipt with the application fee shown as $0.00. My attorney was fine with it.
You should be getting your application receipt soon. If not, get in touch with the customer service.
Hope this help!

Hello Bpositive,
I am in the same situation as you are and have been for about 2 and a half months. I got a yellow slip and still awaiting feedback from the Consulate who in turn is awaiting a response from Washington.
It depends on when you left the US and if you received your AP before your left the US.
There was a letter published on November 1, 2007 which can be found here
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/HandLFinalRule110107.pdf)
If you received the AP before you left the US then there is no risk in returning on the AP from what I have been told but if you did not receive it before you left the US then there is a risk of you entire AOS process being cancelled and this all depends on the officer and the situation at the POE.
Unfortunately in my case I didnt receive my AP until after I left the US and am awaiting feeback from my lawyer regarding the rule in the link.
Let me know if you find any other information
as it would help me as well.
Please..request that only those with personal experience with this respond. I have to decide in the next hour or so and have lawyer opinions already.
Has anyone gone through this?
My H1 is pending 221g admin process (Pink. possibly because I have a Phd in biology) I can't wait much longer as I may risk losing my job. Can I travel on my valid AP? I am not concerned about keeping my H1 status etc. My only concern is at port of entry. Lawyers have told me it is ok, but I would like to hear from people who have done this themselves.

I happen to hear that its more easy to convert from L1 visa to Green card .Is it something that the employer has to initiate ? Can we start the process by ourselves.

Thanks
You may be eligible to file under EB1-C. Your employer needs to sponsor.

Dear friends,
Please be careful of corrupt attorneys and employers selling same labor to multiple candidates and making money by filing concurrent cases. I am happy that the substitution labor is dead which kills corruption by employers and attorneys. This is one of my bitter experiences with substitute labor.

Can anyone please share info on conversion of EB3 to EB2 after applying for 485 ?. Our lawyer now suggests that they cant apply for EB2 and they have to revoke EB3 application.. Is this applicable to even apply for EB2 labor and subsequent I140. I thought we need to revoke 485 only when we are about to apply for new 485. Also, please let me know if we can apply for EB2 when you are in EAD status and has not invoked AC21. Sorry, if this question was already answered in the forum.

Start renewing your passport asap. Its not a good idea to send expired/to be soon expired passport to USCIS. We will never know what kind of questions they ask. So my advise is please renew the passport asap. It takes max 2 weeks (Indian passport not sure about other countries).
