GCStatus, I like your enthusiasm, but am a little skeptical regarding whether a class-action lawsuit is really feasible here.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/19634804/site/14081545/page/2/
BARTIROMO: Let me ask you a question on immigration. Lawyers are planning a class action suit right now over the State Department's offer of visas to highly skilled immigrants last month, even though the Department of Citizenship said there were no more visas available. What happened?
Dr. RICE: Well, this was a case in which for--at a certain point in time, we'd not filled the entire quota for these special immigrant visas. And made an announcement of that. But when they were filled, we had to cut it off at that point. There's a ceiling that's set every year and when that ceiling was reached, then we couldn't issue the visas any longer. But we're prepared to talk to people about what happened here. If there were problems in communication then those should be looked at. But it's pretty simple. We operate under a particular ceiling, and when that ceiling is filled, then we have to--we have to live within it.
BARTIROMO: And unfortunately, aren't these the exact type of people, very highly skilled, some physicians, that America wants to attract?
Dr. RICE: Well, it goes back to the point that I--that I made. A lot of people want to come to the United States. People will skills want to come to the United States. I'm a very big believer in having those people come to the United States, because the truth of the matter is, we don't, ourselves, produce enough of that skilled labor. We need to work on the educational front to make sure that we are producing us the numbers of engineers and the numbers of software people and the numbers of physicians that we need.
Dr. RICE: But we need immigration as well. The ceilings have been set. They are not ceilings that we set, they're set in the--they're set by statute, and I know that there are many who would like to see them raised, but that's a--that's a matter for the administration and Congress.
************************************************** ********
Something to chew over -- this is a Secretary of State who won't even admit to major blunders in Iraq, she is not about to admit they screwed up on this.

Very well said..
The thing is we are so much busy in our day to day activities and we forgot:
1. To Thank GOD for what he has given us.
2. To know ourselves that what exactly we want in life.
Try to enjoy all phases/moments of life..
You may want to focus on (and be thankful for) what you have out of the following:
1. Good health (which we often take for granted)
2. US born kids (at least they are citizens, if that's important to you)
3. US education (a different experience for sure)
4. Good savings (all said and done, your bank balance is very important no matter where you stay in the world)
5. Good work experience (this is transferable and more or less ensures a decent future)
6. Loving/caring family/friends (who will always love you the same and couldn't care less about GC or citizenship)
This obviously is not a all-inclusive list. You may have your own things to add here. To me, having all these priceless gifts on the one hand and not having a GC on the other is clearly lopsided for you to be happy!
And after all, we are not "permanent" residents of anywhere, right? :) So, why attach more than necessary importance to a piece of paper during our prime time?
Cheers,
GG_007

I have e-mailed the senators in Illinois.
Let's do following to keep this topic alive..
1) Please e-mail senators to your respective states. You can find the e-mail format from http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?q=Y&a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=1474093861&m=8821024251
2) We should have a rally to local USCIS offices.
3) We should inform Media well in advance about rally so we can get enough coverage.
4) We should contact Chinese groups for joining us in our mission.
This is not a single person mission. We should get to gather at this CRITICAL time.
Please don't let this fire go away.

Get on with sweet talks with him, do whatever he tells u to do (like sign a contract, pay ur GC cost etc). After filing u have an option to change the employer after 6 months and then no employment bond works. He will just ask for money when ur leaving him and if he doesnt give ur salary, talk to him polietly and mention the words 'Dept of Labor' in your conversation.
BTW, I got my wife salary from her employer and one of my friend was also 'bonded' ..got rid of his employer too ...using those words.
My employer is desi consultant too and is very good in such matters, quite helpful. I would recommend him to anyone. Most desi consultants are blood suckers but not all.
Good luck.
The so called Bond is actually "Employment Agreement" and it very well could be valid. Please check some cases in PA State for such Employment Cases and you may be surprised. This is not to suggest that every agreement is valid. Depends on the agreement wordings and the State Law.
Just trying to bring the other side of the coin.
These employers are doing wrong. They should help in filing I-485 for their employees. Greed has no end. Thanks God, I didn't work for such employer. I worked as hourly employee and still they paid for all GC expenses (including EAD for my spouse). My employer was non-desi and I don't know if that matters or not.
I think Negotiation is the key word here. If they know that you will leave now, they WILL try to cut a deal. All matters who is going to blink first.
Good Luck to everyone and keep your hopes high.
This is NOT a legal advice.

My husband's EAD was approved last week. I filed both the EADs (for me and him) together in July (Receipt Date: July 30th). My application has no LUD so far. His EAD was approved last week. This is just weird. When both the applications were filed together why look at one and not look at the other?

I did not call them to get the RNs but I got the I-485 checks cashed for my wife and me.
The checks for I-485 for my daughter and the checks for AP and EAD were not cashed though.
But again, looks like, July 3rd 9:03 received by R. Williams, is no more a MIA case.
By the way the receipt date is marked as Oct 10th. Service center is NSC.
WAS IT ALSO A LIN#? I AM PATIENTLY WAITING......HOPING TO BE NEXT.

Self-employment is possible only on 1099. If you're on W2, you're *not* self-employed. Pls see IRS guidelines
Here is DoL link. In the example, Mr. Smith owns LLC company, but still is considered Self-Employed.
http://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/attach/UIPL/UIPL26-08.pdf
For immigration purposes, only USCIS/DoL interpretation counts.

CPO today. Case at local office. Had 1 interview where all documents for status and taxes were checked for the past 12 years. Never had a problem or gap in status and IO was surprised why the case came to local office. I was atleast happy that the interview is the worst thing that can happen and I am done through that.
After 3 infopass appts, 2 SRs in all have the CPO in hand.
Good luck all.
Was your Employer (GC Sponsoring) in any kind of trouble in past?

That may be the reason that this thread is not being updated frequently. Some one should create a fresh thread and link this thread.

This is true. A majority of the Dems are sensible people. BTW, although they are against outsourcing, they are not against immigration. The two issues are quite different.
Can you definesensible people.
I think that what they want is the Hispanic vote taken away from the Republicans. They are a bunch of crooks. Sen Kennedy said: Anybody jumping the fence now should get a greencard.
What abot the legal ones tha t habe been here 5+ years waiting for a GC.
