I was reading this article Obama looking to give new life to immigration reform - Los Angeles Times (http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/04/nation/la-na-immigration5-2010mar05) and I found out about the Mar 21st immigration rally. Is anybody aware of it?
Is IV aware of this rally?

Not a lawyer- but my guess is that the date of validity on your H1b (First H1) is the day you can start counting your 6 years. This is regardless of when you started working for your employer.
Example: Employer sponsored H1 for Mr.X on April 2nd 2005. H1 approved with validiity starting 1st oct 2005. Mr. X flew to the USA in december 2005. Started working 15th jan 2006. The 6 years are counted from 1st Oct 05.
Now one can recapture all the months that the employee was on vacation. But I am not sure if this is still an option.
The six year count starts from the day you entered the US first. If you take the above example, six year count starts from December 2005. Additionally, if there is gap from the time you entered and started working that period is considered out of status, that's all together different issue.

I am having my EAD and AP and I am not using my EAD.
EAD expires Sept 08
AP expires Oct 08
My question is
Can I renew AP only ?
If, I do not renew EAD will it be a problem in the future ?
Can I renew it after EAD has expired ?
Also, If I am renewing AP only, when does the 120 days rule come into picture.
Is it with the AP date or EAD date.
Your input will be appreciated.

got few answers ... searching from other sites.
I-130 does play a role, when applying for visitors visa. but that doesnt disquialify anyone from getting visa. you have to show string ties to your country and provide enough evidence that you will come back. there are cases where they hv granted 10yrs multple visas !!
As long as you disclosed your sister's immigration intent in the paper work and sent the right paperwork, it shouldn't be a problem.

True up to some extent. When filing AOS, you still "intent" to join for the exact same employment (including location), as specified in your LC. You are NOT required to take that exact employment "at the time" of filing AOS. What is required "at the time of filing AOS" is to have a legitimate intention to take that exact employment upon GC. By joining for that exact employment from anytime now, will actually help in proving the "legitimacy" of your intention (but not "required").
My LC and I-140 was approved with my ex-employer in CA.Now I have a oppurtunity to join my ex-employer in the east coast. Will I be able to file AOS if I join in a similar role and when my PD becomes current ? The immigration lawyer of my ex-employer told me that I have to join in the same location as my LC was approved to take advantage of AOS as it is location specific. Is it true?
Thanks

Remember in a marriage case....it is a 2 step process...Initially they get a temporary Gc and then after 2 years they get a permanent GC. So, she needs to see which GC is she getting before making any decisions.
Also ask them to go for counselling....if they can reconcile...

This is some really interesting data. After looking at this, I'm not sure what recapturing visas means. Be cause it looks like both the FB and EB quptas have consistenly been filled. if you look at table 6.

To all IV members and the core team:
Thanks a bunch for mobilizing members to get their voices heard - first at the historic San Jose rally of high-skilled legal immigrants, and now with this monumental effort in DC on September 18th.
Thanks to all your efforts (myself included), we were able to file for Adjustment of Status (AOS), EAD and AP in July, and had the extension till August 17th to file it for those of us who couldn't do it sooner.
Thanks also to the lawmaker(s), and others who voiced their opinions and drew attention to the plight of highly educated, skilled, tax-paying, brilliant, and entrepreneurial folks, waiting for their GCs for as long as a decade.
We finally received our EADs yesterday, and our APs have been approved (awaiting notices).
The road from here to finally becoming permanent residents and perhaps eventually citizens of this great country (for those of us who wish to) is a long, winding one, full of tricky situations, significant risks, and the inevitable delays by the agencies concerned.
We all need to collectively make our voices heard, tell the lawmakers, the media, and the world about our lives that we continue living in limbo, and will be forced to do so for a long long time if we don't act.
I WILL ENTHUSIASTICALLY JOIN THE DC RALLY NEXT WEEK.

I urge all affected and still on the sidelines to participate in every way that they can to make this organization and its efforts successful.
cheers, and see ya'll in DC!

Gurus Need Help.
We filed for I-485 on july 3rd..and got receipt numbers after calling USCIS for 3 of us.Yesterday we got receipt notices for me and my wife..but for my son we haven't received the notice when i checked the status online..it says case is rejected and here is the text message from the online..,
"On October 10, 2007, we determined that this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was not properly filed, rejected it, and mailed it back to you with all supporting materials along with a notice describing the reasons the case was rejected. The notice will also describe what will need to be done to properly submit the case"
Is any one with the similar situation? Please help what could be the reason??
and how long it will take to receive the rejected notice?
any info will be great help...,

Hello,
Can Team-IV go to USCIS as a group to ask them to clear the I140s pending quickly. This way, we can ask CIS to follow the FIFO rule.
If they can clear 100+K I129s in 6 months, Why can't they do the same for I140s??. I think there are about
135K pending I140s in CIS (Source immigration-law.com).
That would equate to 340K I485s pending. Even if I consider 10% as duplicates(No Source, just estimate), we will still get about 300K I1485s in the processing queue. This way, everybody will know which category is backlogged and plan accordingly.
As an Individual, we also will have one of the stage completed and be eligible for longer extension of stay etc.
Any suggestions???

Unfortunately, the only solution is to take your camera to a Nikon repair center. It seems that the D2H's meter failing is alarmingly common, from what reports one reads online. If your camera is yet under warranty, then you're in luck. Otherwise, it may be a US$200 - $300 repair. :(
