FIX LEGAL IMMIGRATION FIRST!
Of course, now we risk alienating the "undocumented worker" community, but is that such a big deal given we're legal and struggling and hoping that America does the right thing to get us out of this gray area... ?
On a different note, I can't wait to see what an EAD and AP looks like. When does the clock start ticking? Is it 90 days or 180 days? :)
I so want a vacation! :)

Lets ask Core not to just go with the temporary fix of July visa bulliten.
We might apply for EAD and AP but what if they throw our papers some where and repeat the same thing.
This time they will be very careful in issuing visa bulliten
In future very slow progression in visa dates...adjudicating cases very slowly always stating that due to july visa bulliten we have lots of cases ...we will not be able to do anything until we sort ou...blah blah...
This is not the fix
We should be firm with our goals...
Lets come up with some ideas....
Lets not ask what to do...lets think and come up with an idea...and then we shall decide if it works or not...
When some one first suggested flower campaign everyone took it as a joke...it was not implemented before some one sent the flowers and showed the receipt number...
I was following core for a long time...this the biggest response i have ever seen from the members...
Lets continue it...
My idea ...lets not just accept the temporary fix...we should fight the congress until they come up with a plan of fixing the GC issue.
The congress talks about fixing illegal immigration..Lets ask them to fix the legal immigration first.
Unless we are really strong about it...nothing can be accomplished..
They cant fix the existing legal system but they are ready with the plans of fixing illegal immigration...of course it failed but still they had big impact...

I wanted to add a few points again - after reading the previous posts from Alien2006 and Chanduv23.
To alien2006' posts I want to add the following:
Funny how many of us have noticed the flow of suggestive ideas that we are given right from the time we start the H1 process - back in our home country:
1. Prospective H1 employer suggests the following (nothing in writing of course):
"Great. You are very smart and deserving. We have choosen you to be one of the lucky few whom we will take to America this year after filing your H1-B visa. Once you land there on the H1-B visa, everything will be great. You will have a job in a few days with one of our clients (Buzzer - this is one heck of a lie - there are no confirmed jobs - one has to go through the whole process of interviews again to find a project where you will be accepted on a contract position. Rarely I have seen H1 companies who have projects of their own for their employees...but no one tells us that!!!). After you have worked with us for about 6 or 7 months we will file your green card and you will have your green card within 3 - 4 years. You will be all set with the wonderful American Dream in less than 6 years which is the validity of your H1 visa!!!. (Buzzer - One more great turd of BS - Yes they will apply our green card...BUT they may or may not pay for it...they will apply but there are 195,000 H1s and only 7000 Green cards per year for India - guess what MOST OF us will only dream of a green card and may never get one).
Folks here shout at us about why we "expect" to get a green card when we "know" that we are here on a temporary H1 visa - WRONG - we know that H1 is temp - but we also are made to think that H1 is the first natural step towards a green card. Once we get here its a big wake-up call after about couple of years on how false that premise is.
Also - if we are "temps" no one - employers, for that matter - any organisation that we come accros in our "immigrant lives" here in the US try to highlight that YOU Are TEMPS...WE JUST GOT YOU HERE TO BE A TEMP WORKED, EXPLOIT YOU IN WHATEVER WAY WE CAN, MAKE A QUICK BUCK ON YOU...and then put you on the sinking broken boat called "GC process" and forget about you!!!. No wonder we think we think that we deserve to a fair and simple GC process - but it should be made simple and fair - coz thats the sublimal message we have been dumped with for the past 6 or 7 years...its now time for them to come through on their promises.
To Chanduv23 post - Yes I agree things are much better now...in the last 10 or 15 years....and probably thats the reason more people want to come here and work here...I know I love my job, the people here and the whole way of life here.

All,
It is time to Re-Visit this Issue.
I am sure lot of People used Advance Parole to enter US.
I wanted to know if Anybody Successfully DID a H1B Transfer After
Entering US on Advance Parole??
I Remember Rajiv Khanna Confirmed that this is Possible.
But I would like to know first hand experience from the gurus who have done this successfully.

Good job laying out all usecases "add78".
In my case, I travelled back on AP as my visa extension stamping went pending in Mumbai consulate. Came back here with my I-94 indicating "Parolee" as my new status.
Within 2 weeks, I changed employer as per AC21, they filed for my H1 transfer(premium processing) via Murthy Law Firm. I received a new I94 which put me back in the H1B status. During this 2-3 weeks I was in the US as a parolee I did NOT use the EAD, because you don't have to.
Interestingly after 3 months of my visa application at Mumbai consulate (2 months after I reached US) I received an email from them asking me to submit my passport for stamping. Its unbelievable that they think applicants would still be waiting in India for 3 months and that their employers would still be interested in keeping them, but I guess after all this ordeal I realised, they just don't care.

@hpandey thanks for standing by me, and more so i will not bow down even if INS were tracking me down , what have i got to lose, its the time for the consultants to lose his business and his money, and i will not stop here as i said , i will make sure google search on him always opens the blacklist page before his company website.
@fide-champ i have tried options that could be open to me till the brink and believe u me if they were there i would be the first to grab it, i have tried attorneys, i have tried references, i have tried many options , given 15 interviews of companies and sat on that interview table from 9 to 5:30 PM , but only after realizing that it wasnt going anywhere and i had blown my dough i realized , its better that i leave.
@Robert Kumar yeah ofcourse, even if they were to what could possibly go wrong more than what it is right now, not afraid buddy not at all

I was thinking if people feel they are getting something (for those that don't feel they are getting anything from contributing to IV even though IV is trying to do so much for people) like a WII at a chance of some small amount of $10...i'm thinking of how people play the lotto..put in a small amount of money and hope for something big. more people may put in a small amount of money to get something they like...
just a thought...

@Maniaci: Well its a battle, I want as many people submitting as possible so we can have a good vote.
Well I'm one of those people I guess. Even though the other skins are a ton better looking than mine, I thought I'd give it a try.
It didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted it to... but oh well.

I have come across at least one-colleague in every client place who left U.S.A - after being here for more than 7 years. And they do have children, houses and handsome salaries. And I know of number of people who have plans to eventually go back. But it's just matter of time and money. If property prices were not crazy in India, I am sure more people would have left by now.
....
I thought people came here for economic reasons(mostly), now it looks like we cannot afford good property inn India and are not going back.

PAPPU,
I got a response from the dowjones guy .Mark.Boslet@dowjones.com
I will write to him.
On a side note, It appears that false propaganda is being spread about our taxes and SS contributions we make to raise more anti feelings about us.
To the contrary we contribute to the SS coffers without making use of it. We need to counter this.
Yes amitjoey. thanks a lot for that help. I wish more people participated in it. infact if more members can continue to do it today it will be very helpful. yesterday there were at least 3 mails from reporters expressing interest in us. This was because a few people wrote to them about IV and requested them to do a followup article abut us. I had found about 72 articles yesterday morning and we had more than 50 potential reporters to contact.It is not easy to get press coverage and this is one opportunity where we can captitalize on the venture captitalist story (no pun intentended).

One step closer.
With last year crisscrossing, EB2 India most apps are cleared upto september 2004. We should not have too many in 2004 except substitution cases.
Hope it will step into 2005 in next 4 months....
Yes, I guess the slowdown will happen when it hits the 2005 mark when PERM was introducted and a lot of EB3 were converted into EB2

I am not a chartist or day trader if that is what you want to know. I have worked in high frequency Stat-Arb trading which also does micro caps sometimes.
smisachu,
Where can one learn about high frequency trading ? Can you suggest books that mathematically model various instruments price movements such as stocks, options and futures ?
Thanks in Advance!

sidbee,
I am afraid you are being naive here. What the OP is saying is
(1) We should all go back to our home land, because he has some opinions and positions on what is considered turning back to home land. You might not see it but he is trying to shape opinion of others very intelligently. Who says this? Some one who does not want competition here. Well, if this was coming from some one who is in India I will give him props. He is in US for 10 years and he is saying US GC system sucks and I will go to canada in 2 years. Damn it! I am better than him because I will go to India and not canada. I will stop short of saying that every one should go back to India or his/her homeland.
(2) We all have no right to talk because this is not our country. or We are not in our country and we should not talk. Who says this? Again folks who dont want people here.
(3) Even if I give him the benefit of doubt on other issues, he thinks country caps are OK. Any one who argues for country caps in EB GC with out asking for a country caps in F1/H1B which server as conduit to H1B actually wants the disadvantage to lot of people to his advantage.
Just dont read the words as it is. try to infer some thing. These days trolls have got too much brains.
Mr President :-)
I agree with you on some aspects , I just didn't like the way ganguteli got flared up.
I believe , nitin has the right to voice his opinion (many people would agree with him, many would disagree). But there is no need to fight like illiterate people. If someone doesn't agree , he should say i don't agree, and this is what i believe in.
I like US very much , i am here for around 5 years , and i believe the GC system really sucks (don't you ?)But i have some commitments in India , and if i don't get a GC in 1-2 years i will go back. All my college batch mates in India are managers now , and i am still a developer. I cant take a better job , because i don't have a GC, and with EB3 India, by the time i will get a GC, i would be about to retire :-)
So everyone would have a different perspective, and different opinions.
