Does this mean that an MTR filed without the filing fee is automatically considered an appeal?
I don't think so. For an appeal - those boxes must be checked. Once again - I might be wrong.
Sometimes they return the forms back saying - please file it with a fee - sometimes they keep it - WE DONT KNOW

my non-lawyerly suggestion: do not file ac21 until well into whichever job you takel
I have read on various forums that there is no necessity to notify unless there is an RFE, but to maintain appropriate evidence at all times. you may want to consider doing that until you are well settled in whichever job you take.
by the way, what is your PD?
hope this helps.
I have a pending AOS (I-485) application
filed by my previous employer (company A). The I-140 is approved and is well
past 180 days. I moved from company A to company B in late April
2008. They did an H1 transfer and filed for AOS portability under
AC21. I did not like the role there, so had planned a move to Company C, my current employer - again H1 transfer and AC21 (yet to
be filed). Just before I moved, I got another offer from company D
(which I believe best fits my long term career interests). I would've
avoided the hop to company C had I not given the notice to leave at
Company B. Now, I am looking to move to company D at the earliest (perhaps in a month). I have
been at company C for 4 weeks now.
Question:
Should company C file an AC21? Since there is already an AC21 on file (by
company B) and if I will move to company D, can I reduce one additional AC21
filing? This is just so that there aren't 3 Ac21s filed and to avoid
making me look frivolous. Please advice. If its safer to file it, I
can request an AC21 filing soon from company C.

Maybe USCIS thinks that our cases mayn't become approvable within the next 15 months. This is just my theory, because I see lot of people have got FP but with early PD's
I dont think thats true. I know lot of people whose priority dates , are in 2006 and 2005 and they have received their FP.

I think Meera Shankar needs to be fired. Its bloody 2010 and this is the kind of customer service the indian consulates provide - they dont pick up calls - it takes them a month to issue new passports - Always feel ashamed to be an indian any time I have to deal with these useless consulates.
The Houston consulate does not even have their address properly listed on their website.
This is what they have listed
1990, Post Oak Boulevard,
# 600, 3 Post Oak Central,
Houston TX 77056
So what is the correct address ?? Is it 1990 Post Oak Blvd or 3 Post Oak Central ?? Bunch of freaking idiots is what we have in all these US consulates.

I wish some group were working on getting attached in some bill a provision that lets the H-4s work. I thought we had a good chance because it is under discussion a bill similar to Bill S.2611 that would let the spouses of the Illegal workers regularized under Blue card status to also work so I assumed that a some point they were going to have a provision for the spouses of H-1Bs. I hope IV and QGA are doing something about this. If no group brings to the senators etc.'s attention that there is a part unattended regading the H-1B spouses right to work, nothing would happen. Here is what I am trying to say:
If S.2611 is going to be discussed in the senate/house, this will allow the spouse of the Blue card status worker (previously illegal worker and now regularized) to work for any employer -while the spouse is in blue card status-, shouldn't it be mentioned in the same law in the parragraph with the H-1B and dependandts provision that that the same applies for the H-1B spouses -that they could work for any employer while the H-1B status of the spouse is valid-? The L-1 spouses can work too so why do we H-4s have to suffer? Why nobody is advocating this?
This is the parragraph:
"... (iii) EMPLOYMENT- The spouse of an alien granted blue card status may apply to the Secretary for a work permit to authorize such spouse to engage in any lawful employment in the United States while such alien maintains blue card status. ..."

No sir, I remember they provided them with lot of information, it's just that these 2 Senators want to kill H1B program, they had replied to him or not is immaterial..
Find the pdf with the questions he asked and compare to the answers they gave.
compare that with what happened with visa bulletin fiasco.
I think it was Zoe lofgren who sent a letter with very pointed questions to USCIS. I don't believe they made public their answer or if they answered it at all; and instead of fighting with Senator they reversed course and opened up the visa dates again. (A big part of me thinks that it was pure financial decision. USCIS was going to have fee increase and they realized that they would lose a lot of money but after they did their analysis; they realized their breakeven point was each candidate renewing ead/ap once and they would break even. They would even come out further ahead by allowing the applications because people would be renewing at least three times whereas in old fee structure it was only built in for one renewal).

AILA and all the immigration lawyers and many employers threw a hissy fit when DOL wanted to shut down labor substitution.
They lobbied hard at DOL to allow the continuation of labor substitution. IV has tried to get DOL to eliminate labor substitution or at least make it such that the Priority date is not the labor filing date but the 140 filing date. Allow labor sub with PD = 140 filing date will solve the problem of cutting in line and getting ahead in an unfair manner. QGA helped to get our message to Eliane Chow, The Secretary of Labor Department. (http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/chao-bio.html)
Unfortunately, the secretary of labor didnt oblige.
These immig lawyers and AILA bombarded DOL with requests in favor of labor sub.

Everyone,
We have received information that the Comprehensive Immigration Bill will be voted soon and the bill will be closed for amendments on Wednesday. That leaves only 2 working days to get something done
The text for the bill was only released in the evening on March 28th
As you have seen from the document released by IV that H2A workers will now be able to get citizenship in 11 years and self petition themselves. But legal skilled workers
1) will not be able to self petition
2) the wait to citizenship as it stands today is definitely more than 11 years
3) and all the left-over visas from EB1, EB2 and EB3 will now go to EB5 category
We really need to make sure that everyone is aware of the unfair treatment meted out to legal skilled immigrants and will be doing the following
1) We will be putting up webfaxes to send to senators asking for similar treatment to legal skilled immigrants too. They should be up by 5.00 PM EST. Make sure you login and send a webfax ASAP.
How can I send the fax?
a) Login,
b) click on the 'Home' link on the top of the page,
c) then click on the 'WebFax' link on the left hand side menu options,
d) enter your information,
e) Select webfax # 10 and #11 and your state
f) Send the fax
2) We need to contact each and every company like Microsoft/Intel (and any other to which IV members belong) that depends on skilled immigrants for their functioning. We need to make sure that their HR and CEO know about this.
a) If you are not comfortable with speaking about this to your HR/CEO (and we don't see any reason why), please send us the email id of the right person in HR and your CEO. We will not put your name anywhere but send a polite email to them on behalf of Immigration Voice. We will NOT spam them (just a single email) and will not name any person in the email. Remember that this is just to get their attention so that they can do the right thing.
Email shrey@immigrationvoice.org or nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org with the subject - Contacts for <Company Name>
b) On the other hand if you are comfortable speaking about this directly to your HR/CEO that carries a lot more weightage. Contact us and we will give you all the material you need to talk to your company decision makers. In that case, email shrey@immigrationvoice.org or nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org with the subject - Willing to speak to folks from <Company Name>
A list of companies where there are already IV members willing to speak to their employers is in the second post (summary post). Send us an email and we will put the folks in the same company in touch with each other so that they can approach their HR/CEO collectively
3) We need to contact each and every media person that we know of so that they also realize the urgency of the situation. If you have any leads for any media contact, please send an email to rajesh@immigrationvoice.org or sunil@immigrationvoice.org with the subject Media contact for <media Name>
4) Last time we sent about 385 faxes. This time 385 will not cut it. We need atleast a couple thousand faxes to get our job done. We need every member of IV + spouse and much more to achieve the kind of deluge we intend. Get atleast 5 new members to IV. I am sure most of us can call up atleast 5 more friends who might not know of IV but will be affected by the above. This may, for all practical reasons, be the final push from IV and we need as much support from everyone as possible.
5) If you have any other idea to get our information out to everyone, email shrey@immigrationvoice.org or jay@immigrationvoice.org or nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org with the subject line Other Ideas
Also a quick note, please do not expect a reply from IV core members to your emails unless you are speaking to your firm's folks and need some info from IV. We are really busy in getting everything going. Thanks for understanding.
Please spread the word.
We have received information that the Comprehensive Immigration Bill will be voted soon and the bill will be closed for amendments on Wednesday. That leaves only 2 working days to get something done
The text for the bill was only released in the evening on March 28th
As you have seen from the document released by IV that H2A workers will now be able to get citizenship in 11 years and self petition themselves. But legal skilled workers
1) will not be able to self petition
2) the wait to citizenship as it stands today is definitely more than 11 years
3) and all the left-over visas from EB1, EB2 and EB3 will now go to EB5 category
We really need to make sure that everyone is aware of the unfair treatment meted out to legal skilled immigrants and will be doing the following
1) We will be putting up webfaxes to send to senators asking for similar treatment to legal skilled immigrants too. They should be up by 5.00 PM EST. Make sure you login and send a webfax ASAP.
How can I send the fax?
a) Login,
b) click on the 'Home' link on the top of the page,
c) then click on the 'WebFax' link on the left hand side menu options,
d) enter your information,
e) Select webfax # 10 and #11 and your state
f) Send the fax
2) We need to contact each and every company like Microsoft/Intel (and any other to which IV members belong) that depends on skilled immigrants for their functioning. We need to make sure that their HR and CEO know about this.
a) If you are not comfortable with speaking about this to your HR/CEO (and we don't see any reason why), please send us the email id of the right person in HR and your CEO. We will not put your name anywhere but send a polite email to them on behalf of Immigration Voice. We will NOT spam them (just a single email) and will not name any person in the email. Remember that this is just to get their attention so that they can do the right thing.
Email shrey@immigrationvoice.org or nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org with the subject - Contacts for <Company Name>
b) On the other hand if you are comfortable speaking about this directly to your HR/CEO that carries a lot more weightage. Contact us and we will give you all the material you need to talk to your company decision makers. In that case, email shrey@immigrationvoice.org or nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org with the subject - Willing to speak to folks from <Company Name>
A list of companies where there are already IV members willing to speak to their employers is in the second post (summary post). Send us an email and we will put the folks in the same company in touch with each other so that they can approach their HR/CEO collectively
3) We need to contact each and every media person that we know of so that they also realize the urgency of the situation. If you have any leads for any media contact, please send an email to rajesh@immigrationvoice.org or sunil@immigrationvoice.org with the subject Media contact for <media Name>
4) Last time we sent about 385 faxes. This time 385 will not cut it. We need atleast a couple thousand faxes to get our job done. We need every member of IV + spouse and much more to achieve the kind of deluge we intend. Get atleast 5 new members to IV. I am sure most of us can call up atleast 5 more friends who might not know of IV but will be affected by the above. This may, for all practical reasons, be the final push from IV and we need as much support from everyone as possible.
5) If you have any other idea to get our information out to everyone, email shrey@immigrationvoice.org or jay@immigrationvoice.org or nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org with the subject line Other Ideas
Also a quick note, please do not expect a reply from IV core members to your emails unless you are speaking to your firm's folks and need some info from IV. We are really busy in getting everything going. Thanks for understanding.
Please spread the word.

Anyone interested in this initiative should send an email to myself and Sanjay. If you put posts on this thread, it may not get to us on time as we do not have access to several websites from work. Please send us emails to get all the materials needed for this initiative. Logiclife has clearly outlined the process, so please stick to it.
Thanks,
Varsha
