I know many people are averse to talking to their lawmakers because of unknown fears(totally wrong thing to do...there is nothing to be afraid of)
Come on, if you are not strong enough to talk to your congress rep and/or his staff, then you need to evaluate yourself.
Yesterday, I did talk to a bunch of office people for a congress rep who is a republican (and still evaluating CIR) and they were very impressed with my knowledge of the issues and hearings happening in the senate/congress etc. I may have moved that congress man's decision towards supporting CIR. Just get yourself acquainted with what is happening with immigration in the hearings - know who the key players are etc AND then just talk to the office people/staff dealing with immigration for the congress reps. The worst that can happen is that they may disagree with you. But they will not ill treat you in any way.
Now show some depth - contribute your time and money to IV.

My question is -
what are these "1000s of folks" doing? Are they waiting for someone else to work for their cause?
If they believe they were wronged, they need to take action. Without any action, nothing is going to happen.
And, yes, these is discrimination on the both side of the lines. Have you looked at the hiring practices of leading desi outsourcing/consulting companies in the US?

desi,
All the points you mentioned are valid and sensible from a business perspective.
In case, you didn't read, I said valid legal reasons.
Here is text from my post
Many reasons. Pick any one of you choice.
1. Employer does not want file H-1B this year at all.
2. Employer already has 15% workforce on H-1B and does not want to become H-1B dependent employer.
3. This job is permanent and H-1B can be filed only for temporary jobs.
H-1B Specialty (Professional) Workers (http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/h-1b.cfm) The H-1B program allows an employer to temporarily employ a foreign worker in the U.S. on a nonimmigrant basis in a specialty occupation or as a fashion model of distinguished merit and ability.
4. H-1B quota is over (if applicable) and employee is on F1 OPT.
5. In past, many H1-B has been rejected by USCIS for this job position.
6. The job does not qualify as specialty occupation under H-1B
All of these reasons are valid legal reasons. One more time, valid legal reasons.

When i have to make my hands wet anyway - how about sending the resignation letter via a Lawyer along with Points that goes against the agreement ?
That may silence them and it will cost me 2-3 grands hardly - what do you say.
1. Is there any notice period mentioned in the agreement?
2. I am not sure if sending resignation letter by lawyer is a good idea. It seems that you hate him big time.
3. Sending a letter with points against agreement may or may not work. Depends on lot of factors (like how much money they are making thru your contract).
4. If they sue you, you could lose more than 10,000 (include time and peace of mind).
Not a legal advice.

This thread just puts things in perspective. Getting a GC and beyond is a good thing, but in the larger scheme of things, enjoying the present moment and enjoying what you got is far more important. You never know when it can end !

That is exactly my point. I mean even if the H1B quota DOES increase, is it more harm or good?
The new H1Bs will go at the back of the line, but atleast a lot of the people here like spouses on h4 might get a fighting chance to get new H1s? Somehow I dont see how an increase in the H1 quota can negatively affect us EB folk. Now dont get me wrong that is NOT all I want and nothing would please me more if the EB quota was increased as well. All I am saying is, let us not totally oppose the H1B increases just because most of us on here already have one. Half of the spouses on here can start working the minute the H1B quota is increased. Moreover stuedents already here can start working and dont have to be at the mercy of the H1b quota to graduate etc.
Let me tell you how it can affect you. In an ideal system it will not affect you, but in this one you can't say.
There are folks here who arrived 11 yrs ago who do not have a green card yet. On the other hand there are those that came in 2002 who are sailing pretty. The fact that this is happening and that FIFO is a fallacy, that is proof that it will hurt us.
Here are a few reasons.
1)More H1bs coming from non retrogressed countries will keep siphoning off the visa numbers and limit spillover which we desperately need absent legislation to get out of this hole.
2)As long as the crazy practice of Labour Subs continues, there will always be those youngsters who arrive, grab/buy/are peddled a Labour Sub. cut to the front of the line and move on, while you and I sit sobbing at our fates.
3)As H1bs coming here and not getting green cards becomes entrenched in the minds of employers, they will see you as such and be reluctant to sponsor you for a green card. H1b changes into a vehicle for short term workers much like the J1 visa for resident physicians.
4)L visas are frequently converted to H1bs as a precursor to green card petitioning.

Folks
Did anyone get their physical Cards without getting CPO message ?
I have recd the I-797C Approval notice on the 11th but I have not recd the physical cards as yet. BTW I did not get any welcome e-mail or CPO mail - I directly got 485 Approval e-mail and that is all.
you may want to make sure "CRIS" emails are not going in SPAM folder. I had the same case (not for 485 :-) , i have long way to go) for my EAD and AP renewals.

We want to do some thing for elimination of backlogs Especially for EB3 - India Else we wont see any more progress.
All EB3 people please share your thoughts to resolve this issue.
Unless and untill everybody in EB3 has contributed ataleast a $1000.00 to the immigrationvoice cause, its waste of time to discuss about the EB3-India movement. Any way we have to spend a lot more than $1000.00 in renewing EADs, H1Bs and H4s.
Otherwise just wait and pray for the CIR bill to pass. Then every body in the EB category will get the benefit being the EB3- India/China are the greatest benefitters.

My attorney just emailed me, she received receipt notices for 485, EAD and AP for both me and my wife.
My application was received on July 2nd 9:01 AM, if it matters it was signed by R Mickels. Also, there is no LUD change on my I140 application, so I guess LUD changes on I-140 mean nothing.
I have not seen the notices yet so I dont know what the notice dates are.
