    Wake Up Sleepys

    GC and Visas are privileges and not a right. The need should come from corporate America … that will force the senator and congressman to open a debate on the immigration. So it should be our employer who should be calling the senators etc and make there point... So it is better that we urge...

    Immigration lawyers dancing on the streets naked

    If you have got 140 ---Do not go for 8th year H1b -- it practically serve no protection -- if 485 gets doomed so does the h1b. EAD + AP u can do it online and simple -- no need of Attorney.. But U need to shell out fees for EAD and AP ... each year ... until the promised day. Good luck.

    Official visa bulletin for Oct out - its doom time

    Let me argue --- Some of the EB-3 from Retro countries -- will get approved .. It must be some EB-3 was adjucated and were waiting for visa number ... so they consumed the new visa number even before they were released... So at the best .. we will hear many approvals in next 2 months ...

    Should one apply for H1-B 7th year extension if I-485 still pending

    Yes -- he is interested in getting the fees ... H1b extension 7th -- nth year is only good for guys who are in labor or in 140 stage [ not applied for 485 and hence no EAD]... I think once U get EAD ... even if Ur H1b is still valid { Say U are in 5th year of total 6 years} .. U should...
