Hi Cobra,
Don't lose hope. Your will get your approval.
My wife and I went to India in Jan 2011. We both are on H1 and work for the same employer. My company is a 150+ employee IT firm. We both went separately for our Visa interview to Mumbai Consulate.
When my wife appeared for Visa stamping, she was asked questions about her job, education and company. After her interview, the consular gave her the 221g form that requested all the employer details (tax returns, audit statements etc. ). So when I reached India, I carried the documents for my wife and similar set for myself. She appeared for the interview again and after reviewing the documents the consular approved her visa. Our immigration lawyer mentioned that it might take 2-3 months - but this was quicker than we initially assumed.
When I appeared for the Visa India, I was asked questions about my education and how am I on my 7th year of my H1. Once the consular noticed that I have filed GC and the 7th year extension is due to my I-140 approval, she issued me a 221g form and mentioned that my case is taken in administrative processing. They didn't give any turnaround time for the processing. However, I received email from consulate after 4 days to submit my passport and my visa was approved.
I noticed this has happened with most of the friends I know were visiting India for stamping. And the 221g form is issued to anyone, irrespective of IT or Non IT field, Small or Multi-billion Corporation. A friend of mine who is working in biggest telecom got 221g, another one working for Research Hospital for 221g, then one in a Biotech firm and in Manufacturing firm - all non IT got 221g
It will take it's course and you should get your approval. All the Best !!!

We all know this EB3-EB2 game is total non-sense and unjust.
So many extra-ordinary people who could/should have been in EB2 are in EB3 simply because : corporate lawyer filed in wrong category, they did not want to work for a desi employer who would file in EB2 in exchange for a lot of things, they did not want to buy an approved labor and create fake experience certs/affidavits, or for various other family/job realated reasons which have nothing to do with his/her education/skills/experience.
At the same time, a lot of street smart people got their EB2 labor/I140 approved while they worked at gas stations.
In my opinion all IT professionals, MBA's, Lawyers, Doctors and all other BE/Btech/ME/MTech engg. should be in SAME category (EB2 or EB3). The only people who should be in a preferred category are the scientists who are actually working as research scientists for a govt or non-profit organization (not just anyone who bought a PhD from Dhanabad University for Rs 15000).
If there must be EB2 vs. EB3 then it should be based on a well-defined, measurable and well followed criteria, for example a aptitude/IQ test, interview/GD, there are many other ways to cover all types of talents.
There is already a preferred category for research scientists worth their salt: EB1 with NIW. What's there to say that an IQ test / aptitude test cannot be gamed?
EB2 vs EB3 already has a well defined criteria: job requirements. You could be a Ph.d from a hot-shot university, but may not be able to perform or may not be as valuable to a company as somebody with BS/MS with x yrs of work related experience.
Also if you are truly extraordinary, then it should be a cinch to scale up the corporate ladder and apply for a green card when you've reached a position that can qualify as EB2. No: you want to have your cake and eat it too: i.e. get an early PD and also apply in a faster (is it really now?) category. Can't sympathize with that.

I am on H-1B and wife on H-4. We did not get our stimulus payment last year since she does not have SSN.
For people who did not receive stimulus payment last year can claim it this year. So for people like me whose wives are on ITIN, can get $600 back this year or so I think. The way to do this can be:
First file Married filing separately, claim $600 credit and then amend it to file married filing jointly. IRS will not ask stimulus back. Let me know your thoughts on this idea. I wish I could get $1200 but hey even $600 is better than nothing.
Any thoughts??

I have been there. done that. As soon as ported labor applicant using AC21 moves on & finally gets his GC, his labor cannot be ported anymore; even though you filed to use his labor before he obtained his/her GC.
Mind you, I used labor substitute not from a shady consulting company but from a reputed nasdaq listed company & had top lawyers appealing and proving my case. No use.
I think AC21 & labor substitution fundamentally had these issues where they could not co-exist. Since labor substitution was prone to abuse anyway. It was done away with. Good riddance to bad rubbish I say. Just I had to spend 3 years in limbo. What can I say - only solace is that there are others who are worse of than me.
Move on. Theres no point appealing this denial of I140.

American Dream suspended on the eve of American Independence
For aspiring immigrants ,4th of July is not just a holiday and fireworks but a promise of all good things that are American , which comes to those who follow the law , live by her rules and wait patiently for their turn to be called Americans.
Patience is not just a virtue but a way of life for thousands of Legal immigrants who have been living in the US for a number of years . Besides the everyday stress of Job,Mortgage,Health and education of their children they live with the added suspense of when their application for permanent residency ,commonly
referred as "Green card" will move ahead from its deep slumber.
To apply for a employment based "Green Card" , a employed worker's company needs to fulfill the
requirements of the DOS/USCIS and the date the application is received by the department is referred to as the "priority Date". A movement of a month keeps the hopes and spirits high of the applicants and their families and a couple of months is sheer joy. In 2004 there was a negative trend of retrogression of
the applications in queue and the dates moved back instead of moving front. It implied a waiting period of a couple of years at the minimum. So midway of the application process everything stalled, all eyes turned towards the senate and the house hoping they would mediate and provide respite to this broken situation. Nothing happened and so we waited for the much anticipated CIR as it was told to us that a comprehensive immigration reform will address the situation of the legal immigrants also besides its main agenda to solve the issue of illegal immigrants in this country.
The CIR died , then mid June the USCIS came up with a bulletin announcing that it will start accepting applications for adjustment of status for all employment based applicants and their dependents ..From then on it was a scramble to fulfill a long list of requirements to be able to apply on time. The first task was
for my husband to convince his HR to sponsor the process. Since they had already budgeted for the fiscal year and are on a spending freeze , it took a lot of convincing . The HR complied and gratefully we set out to get our Medical exams(at own cost of 150*2).Since we live in a small state with few doctors we
drove 2 hours to a neighboring state to get them on time. Being a mother of 3 small kids, I could not work on important paper works with them around. So after putting them to bed we spent the entire night pulling out the required documents from archives and placing them in order; numerous phone calls to parents
back in India to collect their date of birth, place of birth information and completed the questionnaire. Got passport pictures(60$) and mailed it all to our lawyers praying it will be one of the first to reach the department office on start of business on July 2nd..little did we suspect that this was nothing but adding insult to the injury plan by the honorable DOS.. They had already prepared a rude
shock when they released a bulletin update on July 2nd stating that they will not accept any applications as they had already allocated all the visas for the current fiscal year in a unprecedented action.
This has left thousand of families like us confused, saddened and in the middle of nowhere.
We are raising families here, our everyday life is no different from any other AMERICAN middle class family with same expectations and hopes, so its not easy to presume that we can pull out or get out of this situation and return to our home countries . We still have faith in the constitution and the spirit of this country and preserve faith that this wrongdoing will be reversed and we will get the opportunity to achieve what we have waited for years in a long queue, abiding by the law and fulfilling all requirements to the
tee..
On the eve of America�s independence let justice prevail and urge the congress and the STATE department to undo this monstrous decision of USCIS ..

Given the hopelessness of the situation in March, switched jobs and was unable to file labor for a variety of reasons. Now everyday I see people come over and tell me how they plan to switch jobs once the 6 month mandated hibernation is over...I feel like breaking something. Lot of them have even stopped working, confident that a new job awaits :mad:
8 years of paying taxes in this country and not even a piece of plastic to show for it. :mad:
--That ought to suck every bit of sanity left! I know "should have..would have..." doesn't matter anymore but I am curious why you did not opt to do labor substitution in june-july period. You should have had a crack at it.
I know people on h1 with consulting companies did better than those who got stuck with one permanent job.Stale career , stale pay and so on...
Do your best and make most of h1b.

You may want to go to your DMV and inquire. You may want to switch to premium processing at the end of Nov. if at that time it is still not approved, if you have to drive to work.

Guys, Sen. Reid has the power and will to make this one goes through.
I was told that Sen. Pelosi did not directly endorse the bill, but she is fine with amnesty bills. I think we may finally see something cooking. If we don't, then chances are we need to wait till 2009 !!
gsc u r a lil confused
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
