I too have a similar case
My wife had approval for COS to F1 recently before we applied for Adjustment of Status. She also got her F1 approval notice by post in August.
Now in Oct, when I got her I-485 receipt number on the back of the cheque, I went to put it in the USCIS site to track case status online. There I found that the WAC# related to her 'already approved in Aug' I-539 COS to F1 had a status update in Oct.
It says "
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On October x, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I539APPLICATION TO EXTEND OR CHANGE NONIMMIGRANT STATUS"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder what that means because same WAC had the same message in Aug
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On August x, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I539 APPLICATION TO EXTEND OR CHANGE NONIMMIGRANT STATUS "

one of the leading lawyer's client reported that he got his H1B approved for a multi-layered consulting situation without even a client letter. So it depends on the lawyer who is presenting the case.
Anyways let us wait and see.
Is it Attorney or the Nice officer ?

borgho - Your first point about big companies not cooperating in this is a very true and important point.
Yes, only some progressive companies with progressive thoughts will actually do something. As such, only progressive politicians will do something about.
Rest, they don't care. If they get someone (Citizen, H1b, L1, b1) anything they will get their work done. In big companies the issue is with heirarchy. You superior would love to do something for you because you work hard and get him good name but then managements are not like that. They are selfish. They would like to cut costs and if possible they would love to see your job going overseas ASAP after keeping you as contractor tillwork gets done. These companies will never change. Never rely on such companies.
Mid sized companies with energetic entreprenuers who have progressive ideas and thoughts would actualy fit our cause. They see you as an integral part of the organization and would like to help.
About DL: it is crazy. I made 5 visits to DMV CT to get my out of State DL renewed.
These things must be changed.

By doing what you are suggesting
c) you only benefit EB-2 India/China (at the expense of EB-3 ROW)
So, you make no difference whatsoever to huge number of EB-applicants (b), and you benefit (c) at the expense of (a).
I hope you see that this is not a good solution for the majority of EB-applicants. With this kind of cannibalization, the only people who have any incentive to stay with IV would be EB-2 India/China.
We have to work to increase the size of the pie here, and not engage in a zero sum game.
This is completly wrong statement. Actually, it is otherway. The EB3-ROW is currently enjoying at the expense of EB2-India and China. It is enjoying not only in this year. It is happening since 2005. If you have doubt, please visit DOS website and anayze the statistics right from 1999 to 2005. Furthermore, all the AC21 numbers (about 150,000 unused visas) that was captured in previous years (1999-2001) that came from unused EB2 and EB1 numbers. Theoritcally, these numbers should have been used to reduce backlog in EB2 first, then it should go to EB3. Since no one cared about this, EB3-ROW was free riding in EB2 numbers despite heavy demand in EB2.
Everyone knows that EB3 is heavily retrogressed compare to EB2. No doubt about that. The only solution for this is to increse the numbers. Everyone is working hard. However, it does not mean that one should ignore how DOS/USCIS mis-interpertinng the law and doing harm to EB2 Indians and Chinese. No one here is to sacrifice for EB3-ROW. Fighting to eliminate retrogression and understaing the correct interpretation of law and rule is totally two different issues. Please do not confuse between those.

@vj i would surely unmask him here , gimme another 10-15 days i will reveal everything about him pal , dont worry.
@bugsbunny i paid about $4200 for the process , he said some attorney fees and stuff
Does someone have an experience of application process, so that i send in the right papers, before leaving here. i mean the set of documents to send to DOL, so that i do not miss out on something important which could nail him to the maximum
If you really want to hit him hard call ICE as well and let them know. If there are similar testimonials from several employees, he is done

How is that getting a citizenship is an achievement?
For that matter nothing is an achievement. if Some one gets a baby everyone greets him. Is that an achievement? If you buy a house you are happy. Is that an achievement? For some people coming to US was an achievement. Some people think getting a green card. We see all congratulation message when someone get his GC.
So Please be broad minded. It may be nothing for you. But for some people it is an achievement. People like me are happy by achieving small things. This may nothing for you But it is good reason for the celebration for the people like us.

I would recommend comprehensive coverage plans for parents. As far as I could tell, there is only one website that sells coverage with pre-existing conditions rider (KV Rao's India Health Network), but that is a limited coverage plan. They have daily limits on most of the hospital charges, but the hospitals usually bill you 3,4 times those daily limits, so you end up paying for the difference out of your pocket. I know this, because I have had first hand experience for my father not too long ago.
So always go for comprehensive plans even though they are more expensive if the parents have any kind of health issues (given their age, who wouldn't !?). Comprehensive plans do not have daily limits - you are only limited by the policy maximum. You are looking at at least 60-80k bill if the patient is in the hospital for 3,4 days; so go for at least 100k coverage.
The way I would look at it is, visitor medical insurance is a lot like auto insurance here. We all pay for auto insurance every few months, and we are very happy if there are no claims against that policy, right? Same thing with visitors insurance too -- buy good coverage, and be happy if you didn't have to use it. That's a small price we have to pay for the pleasure of having our parents around. :-)

Couple of points I disagree,
1. If we assume them as I485 apps, we also need to take Family numbers into account. So EB2 LCs can only be around 23000.
2. In 2007, Perm wasn't as hopeless as it is now. So people were getting LCs in less than 3 months.
So adding all these, here is my break up
Year LC# EB2 LC Visa #
2004 12000 5000 11250
2005 7000 2000 4500
2006 18000 8000 18000
2007-Pre 10000 8000 18000
2007-Post 15000 9000 20250
2008 1500 1000 2250
With this, if EB2 I is as lucky as last year. We should see PD of 2006 when we goto next year.
Again it is just a guess..

Where can I find medical insurance for my parents with reasonable coverage with reasonable premium. Their age is between 55 to 60. Obviously they are with some medical conditions like blood pressure, diabetic... like usual stuff like typical parents would have...Can somebody suggest good one... thanks in advance.
I have used AIG for my in-laws visit and didn't had to use it. Why can't we add them to our insurance as dependants? Did anyone tried this?

Yes you called sleazy consultants..check your stmnt.
Ok, clearly you did not read what I wrote or you did not understand it. Here is what I wrote..
"Well, I don't think gctest is against EB3. He is against consultants from sleazy bodyshopping companies, which is right.". Some one left me a red saying "not all consultants from sleazy bodyshopping companies are incapable." I agree and I never said that. If I came across that way then I apologize.
Everybody is trying to survive in this world ..diff people react differently to same situation..lying on resume/achievements is not illegal(reason y no body is prosecuted because of this fact..they are simply denied that benefit) however its unethical ..but iam not here to preach ethics.
VERY valid point. But my question is, do you support it?
A fictional scenario to check whether you are ready to take advantage of a loop hole if its in your favour.( A nice quote on this -Everybody likes discrimination when its in their favour and they dont raise their voice then)
Yes, nice quote and very true too. But again, that is not the argument here.
My point to say all companies lie/manipulate things to certain extent..desi consultants atleast dont deprive lives like other BIG companies where shareholders are kept in dark until they realize that company is no more worth anything.
Comparing one wrong doing with another does not justify as an argument. It is actually a logical fallacy. In other words, 2 wrongs do not make a right. Try doing that in the court of law.
Iam not supporting any malpractises are anything anyways this is not a criminal thing its just immoral ..
Malpractices are criminal (if law is violated) but a corporation cannot be tried criminally because it cannot go to jail.:)
You may have noted that I did not bring up morality even though I wanted to because everyone has a different measuring stick for it.
however if theres a loop hole and people want to chance it its upto them. They will be appropriately denied if they are caught, However its not like they are killing anybody.
I totally agree with that. Also, I don't think they will be denied because they did not do anything wrong. System provides them with an option for doing so.
Finally what do you think when even govt is planning to make illegals legals ..its respecting peoples wishes against legal things(ofcourse they get benifitted)Humanity/compassion is number one..rules are for our well being ..they are not hard and fast.
That's a perspective and again 2 wrongs cannot make one right.
Check for your reputation here i think it says some thing.
Yes. It is stupidity by consensus.

Did it say anything on your online account about RFE when you received the email, or you just got the email i.e. when you click on the receipt number it shows status of the case which usually shows a generic message that the case was received and is pending, so did that message change?
If not, then did anybody else who got the RFE had that message changed?
Thanks
Yes status has been changed to : Current Status: Request for Additional Evidence Sent.
There is no information about RFE.

Sending my contribution. Thanks everyone for the effort.
Sent emails to 180 people urging contribution and become members if they are not already. It seems most of members/contributors are people whose GC is stuck currently, why dont we try to tap other immigrants (people who got their GC's but have gone through this process and know what we are talking about). It could be difficult as it does not affect them anymore, but having support from these members might be more effective. From my conversations with many such people they are in-principle sympethetic to what we are doing (but I guess they forget the next moment). We should motivate them to contribute in some way (sending faxes/writing to employers/at least monetary donation). Just a thought.

Just as an update for those anxious folks - I got my passport back with the stamp on Jan 3rd (Intv was on Dec 13th). Visa issue date was on Jan 2nd.
So plan for 'a month' atleast if you are visiting the Chennai consulate for H1b stamping.
Also make sure your photo is exact as per specs..Mine was taken in US (Costco) for the Green card process ..but the guy who is sorting all the papers in the consulate send me out to the VFS office to take another photo as he didnt like the way my photo was taken (although there was nothing obvious..no point in arguing to them)..I thought I was alone, but saw many folks outside ...I had to take this at the VFS office (close by..VFS shuttle is there outside the consulate) and return back to consulate..(will cause atleast 1.5 hours delay..I barely made it to my flight back home)..
