No immigrant Visa is available until the thing is current. From my understanding, Adavnce Parole is not a visa. Quoting from the net.
"Advance Parole is permission for certain foreign nationals, who do not have a valid immigrant visa, to reenter the U.S. after traveling abroad"

Those who do talk and blame in the anonymity of the web andnever do anything and keep hiding behind their closets expecting sky to fall are the one who "don't wear clothes"
Folks - in all seriousness - why don't people come out of anonymity? Are you shy? Are you scared? I know, you don't come out because you don't wear any clothes.
Things are bad for us - let us not blame IV. Utilize this time to mobilize the community. Lets build IV stronger. Lets build state chapters, lets all unite and do something about it.
IV members have done a lot of things and keep doing things - the reason we see no result or minimal result is because the community has never never come forward to help. It has been a very few folks that actually did something.
How long ca you think a few people can do everything for us? Should we all not take one step forward in helping ourselves?
We don't. We want to sit behind the anonymity of the web and blame a scapegoat. Those who want to help are scapegoats. Blame IV - for everything.
The reality is - IV needs a lot lot lot funds,IV needs manpower, IV needs your skills, IV needs your unity, IV does not need your criticism because if you criticize IV it won't help you.
So you and I together - united we stand - we build IV - if we do not want to take that extra step - we all suffer.
Some of us spent a lot of money - we did rallies and lobby days - shelled a lot of money frm our pockets - what else can you expect us to do? why did you not do rally or why don't you participate lobbying. why don't you talk to media, why don't you collectively network for the cause?
Admin fixes - some members were begging in train stations to get signatures on the admin fix letter. People waited outside places of worship, parties, schools, and other places, they were ready to s[pend money and time on these things, but why did 30K + members not want to even sign the admin fix letter.
Members are running marathons for IVs funds - some members are travelling to various cities to run for fund raising
One extremely dedicated member had a fast food stall during a festival and donated all the money to IV.
A lot of us have suffered with getting wrongful denials when we used AC21 - we started a campaign - but it just never picked up - some hundred letters went out to USCIS - and were ignored and we still see the same thing happening.
How much can the same people keep doing things again and again. We do need more help. IV is nothing but you and me and all of us.
For folks who are not happy with the visa bulletin. here is the reason why dates are not moving forward. USCIS are getting approvable cases with older priority dates and as they keep exhausting visas dates will not move forward. How the hell can USCIS get cases prior to 2001 ? The sad reality is - there are many cases - they could be "future employment, consular processing, labor subsitution, straight cases, cases lying withiout being adjudicated for various reasons ...... " as long as USCIS can get old cases to approve, dates will not move forward. If USCIS is sitting idle with no old cases, then DOS will move the date forward.
How can we resolve the above? Infighting won't help. We must unite and get our issues resolved. We must work towards admin fixes, we must work towards recapture, we must work towards other positive things that helps us.
Are we ready for helpingh ourselves? Lets stop infighting. Lets all join hands and help ourselves. Can we?
We need some new generation members who can help us. Let all members pledge - we are all united - we will come out of our shelles - we will not do infighting - we will not blame others for issues tht we all face
Remember what Mahatma Gandhi said " Lets not blame others for weaknesses we all possess"

In fact I had the same thought! I did talk to a number of fellow participants on Sep 18th rally. Everybody seemed to welcome the idea!
Come on guys, think over it...
Which of the following news will attract the attention of the congress more?
About 1000 Legal immigrants rally in Washington DC!
Or
Thousands and thousands of legal immigrants rally all over the country!
It is very obvious that the total number of participants (put together) will be much higher in local rallies. For instance, I was the only one in the Sep 18th rally from my family. If it was local, all the four of my family would have been there! I am sure that this is the case with most of us!!
Sep 18th was a golden day in our strong movement! We learnt a lot from the dedicated organizers. Many of the participants (including myself) have gained practical experience about what is involved in organizing a rally. Let us build up on this experience to organize multiple but simultaneous rallies in different parts of the country (in almost all the state capitals and big cities).
I have a lot to share.... but can't do it more during my office time.
Shall come back to you during the week end.
Meanwhile, I would love to hear from others about this concept!!

Like I said before, you still need to learn how to use your head first. I never learnt how to argue with the stupid and no one can.
No one is donating for me.
Why are you so worried about the donations? Are you an anti?
Brother Tony...just ignore him..he is a frustrated coward. These kind of people become brave in forums...I real life they are the most nicest people. Let him feel that he is the man.

Talked to them and they think that there is no harm in doing it ...
Manish (who works with Aman) did the same .......
He put the whole I 140 application along with the I 485 filing.
These people are awesome ......... There are many other immigration forms but they dont even lift the calls.
I am just amazed with the way these people are dedicated.

I wish there was a better way to establish priority date other than an approved I-140. Anyways...
I am worried that if I get laid off or other people at our site are laid off, how will it affect my I-140 processing which is pending at TSC? Has anyone been denied I-140 because of layoffs by the company?
The company said they will not revoke the 140 application and will send me the approval if it comes later (so I can at least retain the priority date if I have to do this all over again at a new company).
Another thing that worries me is that the company is refusing to do premium processing of the I-140 application, even if I am ready to pay for the premium processing fees. I am at loss how to convince their dense mind what it means to lose the priority date.
This sounds unfair. Because of the backlogs, you have waited 6 years. Now you got laid off and you lost everything. Would that be the situation if there was no backlog and you were able to get your green card within, say 2 or 4 years?
I think those government agencies should take responsibilities and compensate for your loss.
Anyone thought about that?

Here are my observations:
* Fragommen, National - if you sre shelling dough out of your pocket, stay away from them. They are a corporate law firm & if your case gets into a mess, you'll end up paying by the hour. Their rates are higher and you will not get personal attention
* Greenberg Traurig, National - Dealt with them at a corporate level. Their team from DC did not have answers to some complicated situations that we had in our organization
* Murthy, MD - Sheela is good. She is aggressive and creative but they don't pay attention to detail and have good churn in their staff. Take into account you will not deal with Sheela herself on a day to day basis, so no point going to her firm
* Thomas Fan, MD - dude is in Baltimore. Avoid his firm like the plague. I know at least 2 cases where this guy has screwed things up bigtime AND washed his hands off the mess he created. These 2 cases eventually moved on to other firms & were successful
* Ellen Krengel, CA - Ellen is certified to practice in IL but lives and works in CA. Very approachable, empathetic, she will research things for you and keep you plugged into the situation. Relatively junior attorney but is commited to the cause
* Gowda, MI - Similar situation to Murthy. Firm's day to day work load is taken care of by junior attorneys not Gowda.

is it mean Canadian door's are closed for people who employed in IT field and do non-managerial job?
Is there any other alternative option to apply Canadian PR after exclusion of occupation category from federal and province Skilled worker category?
I don't want to conclude that doors are closed. Always one can find a way. Third eye always works better so I am pasting the links that I browsed through.
Federal skilled worker - Who can apply:
Instructions on which skilled worker applications are eligible for processing (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#list)
AINP - Who can apply:
Alberta, Canada - Immigration : Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) (http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/immigrate/ainp.html)
Alberta, Canada - Immigration : US visa holder category (http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/immigrate/srsvisaholder.html)
http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/media/h1b_AINP_Occupations_Under_Pressure_List.pdf
In federal skilled worker link they state
"In order for your application to be eligible for processing, you must either:
- have an offer of arranged employment, OR
- be a foreign national living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, OR
- be a skilled worker who has at least one year of experience in one or more of the following occupations:"
As per their above statement if you have a job offer you can still apply for PR.
Hope this gives you some idea.

But we will need enough support to gather a critical mass and start things rolling in the right track.
So can we have a online form where everyone affected can sign in? How do we do that?

AILA now feels defeated because they could not show themselves as the protector of this community. If you see the lawsuit text by AILF, it clearly asks for money for lawyer fees, but does not asks for moeny for Medical exam and mental agony. So if you are going to trust your lawyers to help you, then good luck.
By the way, your Indian lawyer I dont know the name, sued DOL once and lost.
IV alone did not win the battle alone, it took the concerted efforts of IV and other organizations including AILA and the threat of the AILF lawsuit to get DOS and USCIS to relent and reverse their decision.
It obvious you misunderstood the purpose of the AILF lawsuit. Why file a lawsuit seeking injunctive relief to allow plaintiffs to file and at the same time demand reimbursement of medical fees and compensation for mental agony (I doubt if there were any plaintiffs put on anti-depressants or therapy in those two weeks as a result of the decision). You can't have your cake and eat it, you either win the case to enable filing, or you sue for damages incurred as a result of the decision but then you have to forget about contesting the ability to file, I'm sure any sane individual will be glad to choose the former and in this case thats what the lawsuit reflects. If you have ever read any class action lawsuit, the lawyers always ask for costs of the suit, this is normal even in non class action lawsuits, the loosing party pays the prevailing party's costs!
In the prior lawsuit that was lost, it is clear that Rajiv said recently that such cases against the executive branch of government need to filed in other federal court circuits other than the DC one where it is likely they will not be inclined to frown when deciding against the executive. For the record, his lawsuit was not against the DOL.

Millions of Indians cannot fix the bureaucracy at CGNY - but we expect a counter-worker at AF to bypass the French visa bureaucracy. AF is a crappy airline - but it is not racist. Good Luck.
True, but Airline CAN give some 'guarantee' to get the transit visa for passengers. I flew Singapore Airline, and they arrange transit passenger to take a tour of the city, if the stopover is , i guess, more then 3 or 4 hrs.
So, I don't buy the argument that its not in their hand. If they wanted they could have done it. Period.
When one group right in front of your own eyes gets to stay in a hotel and the other group are left high and dry to loiter in the airport (citing they dont have transit visa), I call it absolutely a kind of Discrimination. I dont give a crap about Transit Visa.
Wow!! you are generalizing here about one community here. So, you mean to say folks from Boston, US are going to runaway in Paris to seek asylum because they dont like the homes and jobs in US????? Yeah!!! Paris is a paradise, and everybody on this planet wants to somehow get there..

Thanks for sticking with IV!!!. Its a bit ironic that you decided to contribute to IV only after 485 measure failed, which you were opposing. I agree with your message of unity, but that should hold good at all times, irrespective of whether you agree and do not agree with IV. People holding off contributions, heckling IV, questioning IV rationale when they don�t agree with IV is outright selfish and should be avoided at all times.
Couple of days back, I do differed with IV objective to persue only filing of I-485 by Feb 15. Also, one gentleman from this forum asked me to quit IV...
I am of the opinion that "Difference of opinion" to achieve goal is OK but not to loose UNITY...
I did not quit IV but today contributed IV because I beleive IV is fighting for Immigration issues/cause..
Amen...!!
