If you count the taxes these 150K legal immigrants would have paid if they were in US for a year it is more than 2.5 billion dollars.
There was a recent study claiming that 14 million illegal immigrants pay 1.5 billion dollars a year in taxes (read mostly sales taxes). And thus US should legalize these 14 million people to continue to get 1.5 billion dollars a year.
Now you can compare 150K people vs 14 million people and who pays more.
The study fails to tell that these illegals do not have insurance. So they use hospitals for free. They do not pay federal taxes because they do not have a valid documentation. Even if they are allowed to pay federal tax, many will be below poverty line.
The study did not envision an economic scenario for America if 14 million illegals are legalized. How many will claim unemployment, social security, medicare etc. I can bet the cost to government will be in billions with many zeroes after that. Someone should call the reporter and the pro illegals who created that study to answer these questions.
It is possible for undocumented to pay teh federal and state taxes. They generally usea fake ssn and once the payroll is run taxes get sent to IRS.

capturing visa numbers would put an end to our misery. and increasing the employment based visa will pave way for future immigrants. handling a few thousand more cases is not a big deal for USCIS(there may be performance issues but not like difficulty of hiring more people to do the stuff!). don't get panicky about the number. it should be lot less than you would think.
I think 700K is an exaggeration too. One top attorney was saying that he has filed only a few hundred cases in July. if you assign an average of 250 cases for every attorney in the US, we need two thousand attorneys to arrive at 500K.
If DOS/USCIS can recapture unused visa numbers and stop assigning visa numbers to family members of EB category applicants, I think that will work very well without increasing EB quota.

How can one find his/her receipt date if they dont have copy of their receipt notice, just the receipt notice?
Take the infopass appointment. Tell them your 485 receipt number and request them for Receipt Date & Notice Date. In the initial screen, I think officer can only see Notice Date. Then request them for Receipt date, then I think they can dig the info and find the info.
Few officers are not aware and they say that there will be only one date i.e. 'Notice Date', you should tell them the difference between Notice Date & Receipt Date, then they will try to look. This happened to me, So I showed them my I-140 receipt and explained the difference. Then the officer got convinced to check for Receipt Date for 485 in the system.
Thanks

The response I received from my congresswoman was that my case has been requested for review and to get back in 30-60 days. Also, that my name check/fingerprints were complete.

Hi,
My H1B extension got denied, I have n't got the denial notice yet. Can someone please advice what options do i have with out going out of status? and how long i can stay in this country?. My current I94 expired in sept 2009.
Please advice.
My situation was same. Upon getting denial notice me and my employer talked to Murthy and on there suggestion we filed a fresh extension petition with all documents. We filed under premium processing and I got approved H1B with I-94 in 10 days.
I suggest you to consult with a highly recognized immigration lawyer and based on your denial reasons act accordingly.
You can also appeal against denial, but then you can't work and there is no premium processing in appeal. You might have to wait for many a days.
Consulting with a lawyer will help you my friend. Good luck.

It is not very clear if the new employer needs to explicitly state that they would like to continue your GC. I understand that a major chunk of employers will have reservation stating this in an offer letter.
My understanding is that to invoke AC21, employer needs to provide an offer letter for a full time position. Please clarify.

Why would you marry in such haste & go through the trauma of not know whats going to happen i he goes to jail for the next 18 months?? why not wait until his jail issue is over ?? I am no one to judge you & mean no harm but have u thought this through ????
yes.... i did alot and he is my first everything... i am 21 and i am old style.. i can wait for my love... time doesn't matter. well in the end everybody is just looking for the same thing love...and difficulty everybody have and different ways,
i love him.. if you cant wait for your love than you do not love him, true love knows no boundaries. what if he was going to iraq for 18 months is that any different than prison. if he has a disease are you going to leave him to avoid pain or deal with it like an adult and accept how harsh reality is.
im not mad about your question im just explaining how i think.

I did travel back in Dec-Jan to India and back, and just like you we used the AP to re-enter.
I also am working using my EAD and not H1b. And have switched employers using AC-21. I did send in papers to uscis regarding my Ac-21, but none of that really came into play at the washington dc airport.
We weren't asked anything related to our employment - no letters, pay-stubs, etc. All they looked at was the AP and that's it.
I think it is safe to travel for you too. The fact that you have switched employers is completely legal. It might be wise to take the AC-21 memo and old and new pay stubs along with you.

its depends ...
1) my and wife air ticket to india for visa stamping.
2) All visa fees
3) all hotel exp.
4) All attorney and USCIS fees .
but check with your CPA .
Jeezz.. travel to India? Is this personal or business travel? If business didn't you get paid for international travel?
I guess everything related to conducting your business can be itemized as tax deductable.

I don't think the flaw is with Labor substitution per se. The problem is with the assignment of labor's original priority date to the new substituted alien.
An individual gets attached to the labor at the I140 stage, and thats the date they should use for substituted labor applications. This along with Perm's (ideal) processing times would make labor substitution insignificant.

I'm a UK citizen (waiting for GC), and one obversation that I have is:
If you are very good in your profession odds are that you'll suceed in either country. But if you are average (and by definition most are) then you'll be at a disadvantage with respect to the locals when you go somewhere new, especially if you don't have good contacts.
So I'd recommend thinking dispassionately about how good you are at your profession, and just as importantly how well that comes across in resume or interview. Do you have good contacts in UK?
I'm not sure if "indefinite leave to stay" gives you access to the whole EU, but it's a path to UK citizenship which does give you access to the whole EU job market (language barriers permitting). It does suck that UK gov effectively retrospectively changed the rules for "indefinite leave to stay", but at least in UK there is an end date (unless they push it out each year). Here for some there is no obvious end date for the waiting.
I also think that "indefinite leave to stay" may have a few strings (like GC six month in country requirement).

I concurrently filed 140/485 on July 1st. My case was moved to Texas and the receipt date was changed to August 28th on my 140/485. When can I can invoke the AC21? Is it 180 days from July 1st or 180 days from August 28.
Any response will be greatly appreciated.

Congrats to 12/2004 PD holders.
Unfortunatly for me and my wife, it appears we will be missing this window of opportunity. Just happened to have filed an AP for her. F&$k USCIS:mad:
Hardly an hour passed by when I got email from CRIS saying " welcome ..." reminding me of Eagles song "welcome to hotel california ...", this was the very song, I heard for first time while waiting for TOFEL exam in summer of 1999 in Delhi. Oh... such a wonderful place.
Guys ... kismet changes!

No- You better get you act straight.
Your post heading said "TB skin test is not mandatry"
So that implies it is not required. also the correct spelling is mandatory.
The solid evidence is the number of RFEs that have been issued by USCIS if you do not have a skin test.
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_tbtest.html
Don't come around here with your 27 posts with absolutely no basis telling people this or that is not mandatory. If you have an ulterior motive in people getting RFEs, then shame on you.

There is no premium processing for Labour. but you can premium process your I140 and file I485 together since your dates are current. The reason why I suggested Consular processing is because it will be much faster like within 6 months you will get GC.
