Are you out of your mind ? You are taking a huge risk by staying in the US and droping your Canadian PR because of some "probable" green card. What makes you think that by the time you finish school the situation will still be better in US. I hope you will not regret this but think about your family. In 3 years you and your family could be happily in BC with free health care, great weather, less stress, travel wherever and whenever you want, have your own law firm.
OR you could be a stressed H1B (a.k.a educated slave) waiting for I-140, I-485, EAD or whatever to come through.
Just because you asked, I have been in this same situation. But in my case, the decision was easy. I was on h1b making 69k. The same job in Toronto offer $55k CAD. Much less, but with my freedom to consult on the side and my wife's income we bring over $100k. We vacation in Florida for a month every year to visit friends. Life has never been better.
Whoever tells you to stay and take the risk is putting your family's hapiness in jeopardy. But the choice is yours. Just don't come here crying when CIS finds a problem with your application.
Thanks gomirage for your views as an actual Canadian resident! I have worked with several Canadians before, and while they all complained about the high taxes it seemed like they generally thought they had a better lifestyle in Canada than in the US.
However, some stuff I've been seeing on sites like notcanada.com concerns me. Is Canada really a place where it's more profitable to sit around and collect welfare than to work, assuming you can even find a job? Are Canadians more racist than Americans? Is it really hard to get by career wise and socially if you're not a native or have the appropriate connections?
I would really like to hear the views of someone having moved to Canada from the US about these issues!

One quick addition.
Consider the fact that you have to be in a project all the time (no bench pay) or else you are eating away your savings.

Is the text of CIR already published? Is there a link to that?
I dont know how far this bill will get, given the facts that it has weaker workplace enforcement laws plus a direct path to citizens. This is exactly what the Republicans dont want.

what kind of logic / law is here, if you are a US citizen you can marry and bring your spouse, if you are on pending 485 you can bring but if you become LPR you have to wait for 5 years......
Is there any background for this restriction......... looks stupid to me.:mad:

That article is a joke and more like propaganda. It says around 58K H1Bs are issued and most of them are extension - but are they not aware the extensions are not counted towards the cap...?
The moment I read this...I have stopped reading any further.
The job is first moved by the out sourcing firm and then offered for Americans...?-
-----------------------
This is interesting information. This is the first time ever that such news has come out of Indian press. You may belittle it by calling it a joke but to me it is critical because this issue may turn into a trade issue. Call for negotiating a comprehensive services agreement is not mundane. Together with rejection of billions of dollars worth Us defense deal, this is seriously moving towards becoming a significant issue. You may want to dot the is and cross the ts but that is not how the Law makers, Senators US or Indians think about these issues. They are at 30K feet level looking at the Forest while we waste time in just going around our own trees.
To me the intent is more important than the content in the early stages. We will get to details once there is broad agreement on the issue, that is basic negotiation 101.

I Still think we have a good chance atleast all those with priority date before today.
The economy is not improving and I doubt if it will in next 4-5 years. Even though there is slight improvent the jobless claims went up
U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Rose by 15,000 to 576,000 (Update1) - Bloomberg.com (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aMhGnVzXaSfM)
No way nurses and EB1 would count more than 5-6k per year....
Even out of the 30-40k like I said before about 50% would be from india and china (mostley Eb3) with later priority dates which puts them behind us
Eb2 Filings have drasticaally gone down because of the USCIS rule
Even after giving away all spill over visas to EB2 india and china they will have a lot of visas pending and If USCIS has made the decision that no Visa will go wasted period then we definitely have a great chance
Again my assumption is based on the FACT that USCIS has a policy that all employment Visa numebrs must be used
Lets keep it simple. In the next 4 years there will be 140k * 4 = 560K visas and I would say out of that the only ones with priority before Eb3 india and China are
Eb1 ROW +india & china
EB2 ROW
EB2 India + china (very limited new cases)
and I don't think the above categories would count more than 150k which should leave a lot of pending visas for Eb3
Which would leave a lot of Visa numbers for Eb3 India/china and ROW
Only time would tell if you are right or wrong but I like your view. Shows a ray of hope in an otherwise bleak outlook of the future.

Please be careful before making allegations. There is nothing morally or legally wrong about planning your taxes. Do you claim your spouse or kids as your dependents in your taxes? Why is it wrong to get an exemption for your parents whom you support with your earnings?

My 485 was apporved in July 2010 and have not recieved the card yet. I have contacted with couple of Service Request for non-delivery of permanent cards. First reply from USCIS was that my case was waiting for finger printing information from my local USICS was backlogged for appointments. So, I have told to wait for 60 days for either FP notice or physical green card. After 60 days, I have called them and another service request was created and the reply was completely irrelavant as they says my address was updated for my query about non-delivery of GC.
Is there any other escalation request that I can made for deliveriy the GC or the FP notice? whenever I called the USICS are creating the SR and have to wait for answers like above.
I have recieved the 485 approval notices (for both of us) on July itself but waiting for cards now. Are anyone with the same boat ? Or Is the unusual case?
Thanks
Rama
Which service center is this at?

Guys we are still in the game, and we have to be untill the bill (even in the current form) passes in the house. If you remember S.1932 was trashed by the house, so thing will get more hectic for us and certainly for each of you once the bill get passed in the senate. We have to keep all the sections related to EB hitech workers afloat.

I have RN from vermont for H1b extension 1/14/2008 - still pending.
Not that it is really part of the issue here, but Vermont is also processing my I485 - how is it they are almost 1 YEAR behind TX and NE processing times? Will this be resolved by load balancing at some point, or is this random?

Hi,
I got an email saying "we mailed the document to the applicant" and it says the same thing on my uscis protfolio.
I would like to know if this means the case was approved or is it some other document being sent.
When they approved my EAD, it clearly said "Approval notice sent".
When they approve a case then status clearly says 'Case Approved'.
The email "we mailed the document to the applicant" may be anything or nothing, like if they transfer ur case to different service centre, they send a notice. Some time they don't send anything even though the email contradicts it. Keep checking the status, they might update it later if the case has been approved.
Also, for AP keep bugging ur attorney to see if they got it. For EAD, make sure your mail box has your name clearly, otherwise they won't deliver it.

The time frame depends your infopass location. I went to DC USCIS Service center. I get appointment in 2 weeks.
select option 2 (You are a new Permanent Resident and have not yet received your Permanent Resident Card)
Infopass appointment letter, 485 approval notice and your passport is enough to get the stamp.
It takes hardly 15 mts for me to get the stamping in the passport.

We have to help ourselves.
I for one will not be surprised. These undocumented immigrants march in thousands at their rallies [even though they face chances of deportation]. They are active in talking to media and getting publicity for their cause. They are also more actively contributing to help their cause. They have very strong backers - Agri-business, fast-food chains, restaurant owners, construction business , and immigration attorneys [ who will make lot of money if Z-visa gets passed], strong ethnocentric groups with considerable political clout, and many of them have US citizen relatives [who vote]
On the other hand, support of many immigration attoneys to EB immigration is half-hearted, high-tech employers care more about increasing H1B quota. Like it or not - IV is the only organization that is 100% devoted to EB immigration and working for our cause. Given this reality, IV should have got full support monetary and participation from 25,000 strong community here. As we know, only a minority of the community are doing all they can to help IV achieve its goal.
If we are not doing enough to help our cause, what right to we have to blame others for not helping us? In a way, we do deserve the step-motherly treatment for all the lethargy our community shows in standing up for its issues, and demanding a solution.

My lawyer says "If we file the I-140 based on the LC-PERM, we would interfile it into your pending AOS, so your AOS would be pending based on the pending I-140 (NOT the withdrawn LC Sub)."
Is it possible to interfile if the PD is not current? My pending LC SUB and the PERM LC PD, both are not current. Please confirm whether it is true or not. This will help me make my case.
