How about we create a video. Take parts of this (http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/?lnk=v&ml_video=89349) from the daily show. Take parts from the 60 minutes and read out from the NY Times article etc.
Then post it as a reply to every Lou Dobbs video posted on you-tube.
If somebody who has video editing/advertising/movie making skills is willing to take on this project I can definitely contribute with fact check and some money if needed.

I am in the same situation, and I plan to include photocopy of my courtesy copy of my I-140 with other docs, as I am filing AOS by myself. If anyone else had the same issue, please share your exp.
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but courtesy copy is not sufficient to file I-485. Read your courtesy copy clearly. It categorically states that
"This courtesy copy may not be used in lieu of official notification to demonstrate the filing or processing action taken on this case."
I think it is crystal clear what INS means.
The big question is, what happens if you do file with the courtesy copy of your I-140 instead of the original one. My guess is, if you are lucky, INS may accept your 485 petition initially, and after a few months then may simply send you a RFE asking for the original copy of I-140. And, by that time you may be able to convince your company or company-lawyer to release to you the original copy. And if you are unluncky and the clerk at INS is sharp eyed, he/she may take this as a case of missing initial evidence and blow up your entire 485 application at the on set.
You can take your chances.

legally and ethically and morally and whatnotally, they should accept all applications mailed on July 2nd.
So near yet so far. If the new visa bulletin comes out on Jul3rd , I wonder what happens to the applications received on Jul 2nd :((

Those that have been effected by this EAD discrimination, file a complaint with the govt. Otherwise why are we here in IV asking for multi-year EAD?
So what if EAD has to be renewed. GC also has a expiry date now. Next we will be asked to provide medical history to make sure we do not fall sick at work. EAD renewal is an inconvenience that the employer need NOT worry about.

That's exactly what I wrote a few posts above. I think the more basic question is - What does 485 inventory mean? Is it already filed 485 numbers or "can be filed based on approved I-140" numbers?
To the OP: Can you provide the link from where we can open the PDF instead of just throwing the PDF open. Maybe that will provide a better context to the numbers.
If these are pending 485 applications at USCIS, Number of pending applications with PD later than JUL 2007 should be zero.
If these are labor filings, they probably dont include dependents.

It is simply crazy of USCIS, but it is not beyond commonsense for us to realize that the notice was mailed in last few hours of the previous FY, so there might have been those hiccups between USCIS and DoS systems releasing the last few visa numbers.
Understand that you might well be current for this FY but the notice was generated in September. So now you should do your best to make sure your file is not relegated under a big heap somewhere... as others so rightly suggest, the congressperson route should serve well.
I recieved 2 notices in mail today.
One is the welcome notices which says that I-485 is approved.
Another notice which says that they reviewing or reconsidering the decision previously taken.
Called 1-800 # and the infopass. They say that reopened or reconsidering the case as the visa numbers retrogressed.
How can that be when am current in oct as well.
Mine is EB2 and the priority date is Dec 2004.
Any suggestions to have this fixed.

Good discussion thread..
I just wanted to let you all know that in the firm that I work ( a fortune 10 company) job postings clearly require " unrestricted authorization to work in USA without sponsorship".
I know that they have used this logic to screen out candidates who require sponsorship visas. EAD (for dependent) can be percieved as unrestricted work authorization for 1 year (or restricted because it ends in 1 year). EAD for primary applicant is restrictive on the applicant (because of the same/ similar job requirement)..

How can you confirm this?
Police solved the Duke case partially that it's robbery case.
Don't come to conclusions yourselves..
On top of these issues, apparent hate crimes against Indians at LSU and then at Duke would certainly make a lot of parents a little nervous before sending their kids for higher education here.

The comments in this update kind of seem contradictory to me. It says that there might be possibility for greater advancement than earlier thought... and then they talk about moving it back.
Whatever it is..I don't know why they are creating so much publicity about this bulletin. Does it mean they are going to advance the dates by a couple of years??? If it was for a few months why would they create so much hype about this?
Is that mean they are going to move the PDs much further and again move back during the end of the year!!
So isn't this implying that the PDs will advance very very further than the available visa numbers!!!!!!!!!!

Sathesh,
According to the below websites, seems it is the Immigrant's Final application and processing fee(and seems like your immigrant visa has been approved by USCIS*** according to http://www.americanlaw.com/consul_iv.html
"In April of 1994, DOS opened the NVC, a permanent immigrant visa processing facility in Portsmouth, NH. NVC processes all approved immigrant petitions that it receives from USCIS. NVC will retain the petitions until the cases are ready for adjudication by a consular officer abroad. When an applicant's case is about to become current, the petition is forwarded to the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate overseas. " ***

I am also from India but the point I am discussing here is clearly a violation of law by Outsourcing vendors including IBM (not just Indian companies), TCS, Wipro etc. I work for a medium size consulting firm based in US and on H1 visa ...and I am impacted by these violations and I think I have the right to oppose this act.... to prove my identity shud I tell you my stories in Chennai consulate... or shud I tell u abt my days in b'lore or shud I tell you all abt my 24 years in India.. you can decide :-).
thats not enough. To prove you are an Indian answer the following 2 questions:
- which famous leg-spinner in the world has troubled batsmen all over, but reportedly has nightmares about bowling to Tendliya.
- since you claim to be from Bangalore, name a popular watering-hole on residency road (clue: Hendrix)
