Lets take one step at a time.
Nobody said we are done.
The Current news is a great achievement by IV Core.
Dream act is for illegals only.
We should not rest with the ability to apply for the EAD and AP. I bet you you will realize its no good in near future.May be your spouse can work. But it is very frustrating.
AOS is gray area... some thing must be done to fix this waiting time

Very true. Also members should stay away from promoting one presidential candidate versus other. How does it help our cause? This has nothing to do with free speech. There are so many other websites for such discussions.
Though I agree wholeheartedly that this is not a platform for supporting any of the candidates in the Nov election, but given that more than 90% of the people who frequent this forum are not even citizens of the country and cannot vote... Even if I get hugely motivated towards any of the 2 candidates, by reading the motivational messages from other fellow posters, what can I really do ?
I cannot vote...so how does it matter ?

With my very best wishes to those of you waiting for your GC, this thread is created for the lucky among us who received it recently. I am putting together a list of things to do, and not do, to maintain our freshly minted PR status, which should also help during future citizenship application. The list is mostly about little things that others have learned from experience (and I am learning from their experience, by reading in immigration-related forums such as IV). The more obvious things that can be found for example in USCIS handbook (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/M-618.pdf) are not included here. Below is a snapshot of what I have gleaned from Internet so far, and please add your own input(s):
LIST of DO's :
[This is an evolving list thanks to valuable inputs from folks here and elsewhere, so keep checking back.]
Cheers,
Stuck(no more)InTheMuck
Thanks for the detailed information.
I have a unique situation here. My original GC sponsor (a multi billion dollar industry leader) laid me off after 6 months of I485 due to lack of position in the company.
I ported my GC using AC 21 and joined another small consulting company. Now my GC is approved and I have an offer in hand from another company.
Will it be a good idea to move or do I have to wait for 6 months or 1 year before I make an employment switch.
My most important consideration is that there is chance of potential loss of job (may god forbid) with the current position. I may be able to save myself by switiching job right now. And of course there is more money on the table.

But advocates for skilled immigrants�many of whom remain stuck for years on H-1Bs waiting in the long queue for permanent residency�worry that the bill is a political maneuver rather than an earnest effort at reform. Aman Kapoor, president of the skilled immigrant advocate group Immigration Voice, says that a more effective bill would ensure H-1B visa workers are on a level playing field with U.S. workers. "Skilled immigrants on H-1Bs don't get the same rights and protections as everyone else," says Kapoor. "So wouldn't the solution be to empower and enable the skilled immigrants on H-1Bs such that�skilled immigrants on H-1s have adequate protections so that no one can take advantage of [them]? But no one wants to talk about protections for skilled immigrants."

Thanks guys for the moral support and quick responses.
More details are as follows:
1. This accident occurred in 18 months back in CA
2. We were going on high way and suddenly the car infront of me came to a sudden halt and as I didn't had any reaction time, even though I applied brakes I went and rammed into the van in front of me, which in turn hit the car infront (like a ripple effect) and totally 8 cars were involved in that collision.
3. So at first we thought it is entirely my fault as I was coming at 50s and I rear ended the care which inturn created this ripple effect.
4. But the actual scenario is, the van infront of me came to halt, as it rear ended the car infront of it and due to which the other car hit the one infront.
So already one accident happened and I caused one more and as mine was a 11 seater and coming at 50s the impact was high and involved in 8 cars.
All this happened within in mins or secs, I would say
--> --> --> --> --> --> --> -->
Myself car1 car2 car3 car4 car5 car6 car7
In the above pictorial representation,
a) car 1 hit car2 which in turn hit car3 (1st impact)
b) Myself hit car1 again which ripple effected all the way upto car7 (2nd one)
I was the only person injured and and had to be hospitalized with bi-lateral hip fractures and right knee fractures and was out of work for 4 months.Luickly my insurance covered most of the amount thats been charged(around 300K)
Finally I recovered to a great extent and out of blue gets a lawsuit from the owner of car3 against myself, Car1 and car2.
BTW, insurance determined that my fault is 80% as I caused the greater collision and they paid the property damages for all the cars involved.
As per the lawsuit, seems car3 drivers spouse had herniated disc due to this accident and are expecting $200,000 for future treatment
So they are claiming the following:
3 milliion for : other damages(emotional etc.....) --> This is BS. You can file a counter. They are already quoting 200k for future treatment and other amt for lost wages.
200,0000 for: future treatment
50,000 for: lost wages
Thats is what the story of my life :(
Hope this gives u more details to provide me with more suggestions.
3 milliion for : other damages(emotional etc.....) --> This is BS. You can file a counter. They are already quoting 200k for future treatment and other amt for lost wages. Its just a lawyer thingy to throw some mud and see if it sticks. I do not think that 200k is warranted for the treatment of a herniated disc but your insurance will take care of it so no worries.
As suggested by all the folks here, this is a civil case and wil have no bearing on your GC. However if you don't respond you will be held liable so get a good attorney and respond to those charges. If you run away to India most certainly it will become a criminal case and you will most probably end up never be able to return here or since this involves injury to an american citizen the embassy/consulate may pursue you further even when you return back to india.
1. If you decide to contest it, try to see if your attorney can invoke any procedure to get previous medical condition of the other party. This is to verif y if the injury/condition they are seeking damages for are a result of this accident or they had a history.
2. Try to get details about their occupation and see if there are any occupational hazards that can cause this condition due to it. Although it can be circumstantial its worth a try.
I know patient/doctor relation is privileged but if the law enforcement is requesting medical condition of a patient then there might be a provision to get that info. California however is totally different ball game..
Good luck my friend. Hope you pass through this difficult time
Here is a link from the injured person's attorney's point of view.. The key to winning a case is to find the weak points in the oppositions case and drive hard on it. This is not to say the other person was not injured or anything but the blood sucking claim for 3 MILL is what pisses me off.. believe me I was a person who was injured in an accident for no fault of mine and I am still fighting the case for lost wages and medical expenses only for 13 years now. Its a different matter that it is not in USA. I won the case in lower court but a counter was filed in higher court by the insurance company and its still going on.
Life goes on despite that. Have faith and hope and things will be better as time passes. Worst case you can file bankruptcy and throw up your hands.

I dont work for consultant and yet I relocated last year. I admit its less frequent when you work directly for a company. I work longer hours not because I am told to, but it makes me feel more secure in my job by doing so and by making myself more useful than neccesary. WHy? coz I cannot change employer and keep my greencard process intact and continual. Its has to be started from scratch. Not affordable. Hence the longer hours. Is it forced? No. Is it fair. Absolutely not.
Finding a local to marry is not an option. Why? Firstly, many of us are already married. Secondly and more importantly, if you marry a local with the intention of obtaining immigration benefits, you are breaking the law. I dont mean to say that marrying a local is wrong, but it is illegal if you are doing it only for immigration benefits resulting from marrying a citizen and you could lose that greencard if things go haywire. To quote Shushterman, an immigration lawyer and former USCIS employee: If you are caught doing something illegal by USCIS, you are better off robbing a liquor store than marrying a local with intention of greencard. USCIS may pardon you if you robbed a liquor store, and still give your greencard but not if you married a citizen with intention of immigration benefits.
Now, coming to rights and privileges, privileges wouldnt exist unless you had the rights. Privileges granted by Government to public are based on rights. There are some things that the seeker calls rights and the person who grants them calls them privileges. If you want to be forceful, you have to call it a right, not a privileges. We call "Human rights" rights for a reason and not "Human privileges". See, privileges imply a hand-out. Rights imply justice. There is a difference between hand-out and justice.

Hi hur11
Please let me know which category you have applied EB2/ EB3. Below is my qualification
Degree : B.Com ( 3 years)
PG : M.C.A (IGNOU - 3 Years)
Experience - 8 Years in India and 3 years in USA with different employer.
Thanks in Advance

You should not have gotton H1B visa in the first place, as H1b visas are for professionals and there are many professionals stuggle to get an h1b visas even after engineering degrees. In your case, IGNOU is a shame. Its worse than University of Pheonix. If you get a greencard in EB2, it will be a biggest mockery of the USCIS and department of labor.

This is applicable when 140 has been approved. If 485 is retrogressed then you will get 3 year extension. If it's current you will get 1 year extension. Guess depends on luck. For e.g if some one has applied for extension in July he/she will now get only 1 year. I found this in a lawyer's chat transcripts.
Makes me wonder why we're paying our lawyers. I'm learning more from this forum than what he's told me over 6 years of interaction.

redesign it to say something to the effect of 'YOU ARE SCREWED MORONS UNLESS YOU DONATE RIGHT NOW!' - making a reasoned argument obviously hasn't worked so far as folks just think someone will do the job for them
