I would recommend shusterman.com -- one of their lawyers Ms Najfabadi is extremely efficient, fast. Overall this lawfirm is very influential (with uscis, dos, senate, etc) and will help you out if you get stuck somewhere in the process and will get u out of trouble by hook or crook (upto the extent the law permits).
I would strongly recommend you to talk to the attorney I mentioned.

never worked for "employer x" after H1 transfer, perhaps you are out of status. What is your lawyer saying? You never transferred H1 back to emplyer#2?
I have maintained valid status with my current employer (Employer #2). Employer #2 sponsored H1B was valid until 2008, then I used EAD. I have always maintained valid status. My only concern is I never worked for 'Employer X'.
Would you still see this as an issue...?
Thanks for the response.

Good post and to the point. On the side note you might be able to hide behind the portable closets.:)
Chandu, you made me laugh (in a fun way, not in the making fun of you way). Hiding is done inside the closet, not behind it. Maybe lack of clothes is explainable because one is "behind" the closet :)
On a serious note though, You provided so many ways that money is being raised by running marathons, funding drives etc etc...but come on, where on this website or anywhere else is it mentioned how this money is being spent??
I have absolutely no right to ask that question because i have never contributed money. But when i am told that I dont have access to this thread or that thread because I am not a donor...I do have the right to question if this organization actually represents all immigrants or just the donors?? If the motto of IV becomes "Change for fairness and justice (For Donors Only)" then it would make a lot more sense to me. But as long as IV keeps on harping that they represent the plight of legal immigrants (which I am) then I do have the right to ask the question ..."What exactly has IV done?"
Asking the question is never the problem, it may make people uncomfortable but I want people (like yourself) who are contributing to at least ask IV before ranting on people like me (who dont contribute) to support the cause...Supporting the cause is NOT equal to giving IV money. The republicans already tried something similar ..."If you are anti-war, you dont support the troops"..That was fallacious and so are all the personal attacks on the "freeloaders" (like myself ofcourse).

Although I raised questions about the donations earlier I thought it was time to donate as I was impressed with the email Senator feature and have been helped by IV thru various threads.
Hence I donated $50 to IV !!
I would encourage other non donors to donate as well......its time we all did instead of questioning IV.

Lawyers can't be trusted in immgration area ... I wrote in the other post too.
Could you ask him for a PROOF and that the package actually reached there and USCIS actually rejected it without opening ??
3. Other Issues like July 2nd Filing/ October Visa Bulletin, Etc.
Cases Filed on July 2, 2007 - No USCIS Receipts So Far for
Q. Have you gotten any receipts or rejections for cases filed before the Revised Visa Bulletin announcement was made?
A. So far, the USCIS has not yet issued either receipt notices nor have rejections arrived on any July 1st or 2nd, 2007 cases filed at USCIS to the best of our knowledge.

After all of that if your pay is greater than 75K and if you file separately you will not be getting stimulus package. This was the news i got confirmed from IRS over phone.

Well...I am one of us stuck in EB3. I do qualify for EB2 but my employer choose to file it under EB3. I recently invoked AC21 and moved over to a new employer on my EAD. Is there a way I can ask my new employer if they can file new I140 under EB2 and change my category to EB2?

H4 - must be allowed to work. American economy does not differenciate between an American and a legal alien. We all pay the same rent, same tax, same price for car. When our H4 spouses cannot work, we have to totally depend on one salary. In case of emergencies we hit rock bottom economically. Quite obviously our quality of life is compromised.
But what do we do about it?
Is this one of the goals of IV?

If you have already filed 140 and 485 together in July 2006, it is already more than six months. Since you wrote you have used AP, I'm assuming you have filed 485 as well.
If the above is true, you can join a new employer for a similar job or rather same job description and do AC21 to move your case to the new company. Since your 140 is still pending, it will be an issue but not something which will realistically impact you if you do your AC21 paperwork nicely. If your 140 was approvable when it was filed, you shouldnt have any issues.
You need to do two things -
a) Find an employer to switch to immediately.
b) Find a good lawyer who will help you out on AC21

Ok, firstly, if you are really honest about your feelings, no one is really happy for another unless what the other has done is useful to you. You can wax your eloquence with claims to contrary, but you know it is true. So stop this pretensions.
Ok, you want a constructive suggestion? Rat on everyone who is doing fake jobs, is a body-shopee, bought his GC etc. That should get rid of at least 20-30% (conservative numbers). How many will support it? I guess not many.
How about asking USCIS to make the priority date of the substituted applications to be the day 140 is filed? Any takers there? I guess not.
And then people have the gall to tell us to be happy for Eb2ers, and that we are jealous.
PS: I realize that substitution is no longer possible, I mean to ask USCIS to retroactively apply the priority dates for such cases.
U know what, actually we all eb2 guys are very sad about the eb3 plight. And if we do get a visa number, we will request uscis to dsitribute it to eb3 category. does this make u guys happy now ???
why dont u think abt those guys, who filed in eb3 earlier, knew that the trouble is brewing, and switched jobs to be able to file under eb2. why you guys dint do that so far. dont blame uscis. they were, the are and they will remain a mystery for ever. its not our birthright. if DOS thinks they need more research grads, they will keep eb1 current, if they need more exp guys, they will improve the b2 category. And if they need more frsh grads, they will come to eb3. And if some exp person is stuck in eb3, he himself is to be blamed. dont blame anyone else for your ignorance of GC rules then.
So fact is we all are under DOS/USCIS mercy. 2 years back it was eb3 turn, now it is eb2 turn. Unfortunately no is blaming why ebI is always current. if that reason you can digest, then you should have the gall to digest this one too.

Guys,
Wanted to started this thread to get reviews on different law firms
I can understand the quality and committment of lawyers can make a huge difference especially in this unprecendented situation where all EB categories are made current now and now there is a rumour that it would be retrogressed back probably sometime next week with a new visa bulletin.
A lot of lawyers who are really committed and sincere to their client's clause: Getting them Green Card, are working overnight and over the weekend also so that their client can file I-485 ASAP and on the other hand few law firms are acting as slackers and not even responding to their client's emails.
Anyway, I am interested in knowing everyone's experience ( good or bad ) with law-firms and their recommendation.
My Own Case:-> I work for a multibillion dollar telecom company and joined this company almost 15 mos ago with a promise that they would start my GC immediately. Till Now, they have not yet file my labor. Their lawfirm is Larrabee http://www.larrabee.com/ in sanDiego. I don't have much experience with them as my application is still in my company's internal queue but based on the basis of my little experience, I would certainly not recommend them
Thanks
DD
I would seriously consider Rajiv Khanna - immigration.com. Very responsive, never delayed my case and answered all my questions thoroughly. Imagine this:
The best example is applying for 485 during the latest visa bulletin fiasco. Everybody in the community had a hint that USCIS may only accept a few applications for July. On the friday(June 29) before Jul 2 my missing document reached Mr. Khanna's office. Since they had too many applications to handle, the staff did all-nighters and sent my paperwork Saturday afternoon. It reached USCIS Monday July 2 at 9:00 am. Such commitment and hardwork is unparalleled in my opinion.

my current company has already filed I 140 for me, but I received an offer from another company and plan to accept it. My question is does the I 140 application will affect my H1B transfer?
Thanks a lot!!

I appreciate this update logiclife. This is all I (and I am sure many others) wanted, an update.
If you see any bad word in my post, you can delete it and you have power to delete it.
I felt thay many members asked for update (and I know there is no crtitical update) once in a while from IV core team.
Any post from a IV core member makes this forum alive again and boost member's moral, as It shows that IV is still working.
I posted a -ve post as I knew that you will post something in response to it, and hence proved.
But using words like "barking dogs", God, I was not expecting that.
Ghost, something must be missing in your character but I don't blame you, its bad parenting.
Thanks
ForeverGC, this is not the right way to ask for an update. You are like a spoilt child demanding attention by throwing a tantrum.
I don't understand the point of people constantly asking for updates. Guys, we are a small group of people - 5000 members, only 1000 contributing - a small piece of the battle currently being waged over undocumented workers and border security. What can we, the IV core team, tell you? Every update is pretty much the same - we are trying to talk to Congressmen and put some provisions in the SKILL bill or other bill. What do they tell us? Keep educating Congressmen about your provisions, the same as you did for the Senate, and wait for the opportune moment or legislation.
What is the point of hounding the core team for updates? And your post, ForeverGC, just made me want to resign from the core group as you just picked a fight with several people, one that we now have to step in to moderate. This is just a waste of energy for the people who have to moderate.

Here my 2 cents. Whether EB3 will move forward or not if you are in EB3 you are not in a position to chose. You have only two choices either be in USA or leave. If you decide to stay there is not harm promoting for these new immigration legislations. Even though it may have slightest chance, you have nothing to loose supporting it and working for it. In case it succeeds, you will get your green card much faster than normal process.

I know everything, i have been following these forums from past 3 yrs, but i responded to the post by ksircar, he said "I think some SELFISH people with recent PDs are scared as people with older PDs may take the quota" which was inappropriate, cursing core members or people who are eligible to file 485 doesn't help right? that's all i want to say.
Here I want to make clear, FIFO for taking labor applications and sending ad instructions not for approving. I know depending on compilcation of cases(I think), some cases with PD 2005 get approved fast and cases with PD 2003 are taking longer. I dont know why all these mess in DOL, for taking the labor applications and sending ad instructions.
