Hey all,
I completed my landing in Toronto some 4 weeks ago. My pertinent details:
-No valid H1B stamp in passport
-485 was filed
-Planned on using AP to return
The risk at the time (since there was no clear consensus here) was returning to the US using AP with a Canadian Immigrant visa stamp in my passport. I should point out that my passport was literally a year old, and the Canadian visa was bang in the middle pages; it popped out as soon as the passport was flipped open. It couldn't be missed.
Toronto immigration was smooth. The only comment the officer made was that I had only a week left before my Canadian visa was due to expire, and she was surprised I had waited till the last minute (I suspect she'll be seeing quite a few more cases like this soon though!). I provided a Canadian address to receive my PR card over there.
I spent two days only in Canada. I decided to travel across the Atlantic and meet up with the family since I was leaving the U.S. anyways. Plus I figured on returning, if I was asked what the purpose of my travel was, I could honestly say "visiting family" as opposed to beating about the bush about the Canadian PR.
I returned 2 weeks later to NY-JFK. At the immigration counter I was asked to go to a separate desk to have my AP paperwork done. The Officer there asked me what my area of employment was, which I responded to. I was then asked to wait. 20-30 minutes later I was called again and my passport and AP documents were returned. No other questions were asked.
I was extremely paranoid about the whole thing, but there were literally no issues. Of course luck plays a big part, so it's up to you to roll the dice; chances of problems arising seem low though.
It's been almost 4 weeks and I still haven't received the Canadian PR card; if anyone else has an idea of how long it takes, I'd appreciate it if they could apprise me. Also I'm under the impression that since I'm not earning any income in Canada, there is no tax paperwork to be filed there. Is this correct?

As per murthy bulletin, EB3 India might become unavailable or will stay where it is.. If i interpret correctly. Looks like EB3 will remain the same. Very disappointing.

first of all, do not lose hope. You should be determined to fight.
Please be sure we all have problems and all of us are fighting so do not think you are the unlucky one...take that thought out of your mind. And then fight and if you are determined to live, you can even beat this so called fatal disease! It is all in you, the power, bring out the power, whether you do Yoga or prayers... You can fight. You must understand that God is in you and even in your so called fatal cancer. God is everywhere, even in each action you do..connect with IT...and you will be at peace..and if you feel being in US will help all of you, so pray for it...BUT YOU MUST FIGHT AND CONNECT..
whether YOGA or PARYERS..its upto you..constantly think about IT...
Connect with IT
and YOU WILL DEFINTELY GET THE ANSWER! Please do not self pit yourself...NEVER GET THAT THOUGHT IN YOUR MIND..

I filed my I-129 for H1B extension in March, 2008. It is almost 5 months. I haven't got my H1B extension approval yet.
Do any of you experience delay in H1B extension? Is it normal waiting time after July 2007 fiasco?
I am also wondering why Vermont is delaying the processing of H1B though it is not processing I-485s?
Please share your experiences.

My status on CRIS has changed. No emails. Its says my approval has been sent. But nothing about the card. I spoke to the CS and they said my biometrics have to be uploaded. In the mean time can I get my passport stamped?
One of my friend was in your situation. He got the I797 stating that 485 was approved. He took infopass and got the passport stamped. Hope this helps.

I am not an attorney, but this is what I know:
Yes, you can start a business, but you can't work for this company. Not even write a check on behalf of this company.
You need to hire some one (like a general manager or president) to do these on company's behalf.
You can run the company and earn profits (of course you need to pay taxes).
I do not know whether you can apply a H1 for yourself to work for your company :) , My guess is you can't.

Chill out friends, there is more to life. Summer is round the corner. Don't waste your valuble weekends on the forum, go out and have fun. Lead life like Americans (Work revolves around life) and not Indian (Life revolves around work).
Lets look at it positively. Something good will happen. Keep the faith and help IV in whatever ways you can. Contact local congressmen, I recently contacted Hillary Clinton's office.
There is always demand for ya all and Uncle Sam knows how to retain you.
Those in IT, dudes and dudettes - gotta work on your health because IT professionals are prone to all sorts health problems , keep your minds off the internet and work and must go out and chill.

Correct me If I am wrong
out of 45K members let's assume 22.5 K are EB2 and 22.5 K are EB3.
Even If 11.25K (EB2)+11.25K (EB3) = 22.5 K (Total) contributes $25 Each Problems gets solved ... but the catch is ....
Even 11.25 K EB2 members are not contributing because they don't have to as their problem is solved
Even 11.25 K EB3 members are not contributing because they are not sure even with this contribution their problems gets solved.
Many people are saying that EB3 members are not contributing that's why you are lagging etc...
EB3 Members who contributed are feeling the pain because even after contribution they are not getting the results and EB2 members who didn't contributed are getting the results...
I think you hit the nail on the head.. EB2 folks don't contribute since their problem is over and EB3 folks don't contribute since they don't have any hope left.

I have mentioned IV to a some Indians. They have no interest. Some of them are not bothered about retrogression. They exepect the GC to fall in their lap while they are sipping tea and eating samosa.
Also, it is hard to trust a mainly Indian set up. The Indian contracting companies have set a very shameless level. I told my friends that IV appears different but it is hard to change your opinion when you see something else 10 times a day.
I apolozie to the sensitive Indians if I this is breaking news. But this is the general feeling and a reason for hate in the blogs: where there is smoke there is fire. It is embarassing.
For the life of me, I couldn't figure this out either.
I also don't understand why most of EB applicants are so oblivious to the EB-based immigration situation.
I am from ROW, and I could only shake my head in disbelief when one of my Indian friends asked me innocently if the 'situation' was 'really that bad'?
If there really are 600K EB applicants, and all we can get is 6K members, then perhaps we deserve the crappy situation we find ourselves in today.
