It is very important to put proper subject in your e-mail. Please refer to the chennai consulate website for more information. Because of the volume of e-mails they'll be getting, they don't respond to normal e-mails. I got the response the next day. I don't know if i am a isolated case but it doesn't hurt to follow the instructions in the website.
The email response I got from consulate says following:
>>>
Thank you for your e-mail.
Our records show that because of the recent changes implemented in processing the H1b visas, your cases are being delayed. Your petition information has to be verified in the PIMS database before the visa could be adjudicated. It will take approximately another 5 more work days. Thank you for your patience.
>>>
Then I called the consulate officer and she told me that if I dont recieve passport by next Wednesday, then give a call. My case is not complicated..no issues with H1..no questions asked about my employer..just only about my spouse AOS..and I have AP, EAD which means they should have my background information already. I feel like I unnecessarily went to visa stamping. It is taking more than 2 weeks, after visa stamping, to get passport back..so going to India for 1 month vacation with visa plans is very risky..
Will let you know once i receive my passport.

In case If I wanted to have my attorney, I need to cough up $275/hr and 5K check upfront and he feels his fee may add upto 10K by the end of all this. So not sure whether just go with insurance agent's attorney for the time being and just wait how it goes, even if the case goes against me as I don't have much bank balance etc I am not sure what they can get out of me..
Any thoughts??
If I were in your place, I would not spend money to hire my own attorney- not yet. I would let the insurance attorney handle the initial few months, and only after things start happening, I'd think about paying an attorney myself. Meanwhile, use this interim period to look for a very good attorney- meet with a couple of them and decide which one would you choose, if you had to. Personal liability defense is handled best by firms specialized in tort defense (eg. who defend medical malpractise suits), and NOT by trial lawyers who are mostly experienced with plaintiff's cases.
Another thing, since YOU were the one who seems to have experienced most injuries in the accident, didn't you get letters from trial lawyers offering to sue the other folks and ask for damages (since THEY were at least 20% responsible for your injuries)? Such trial lawyers do not take any money from you upfront- they only take a % of the money recovered. This might make things too messy for you to handle- but give it a thought; sometimes offense is the best defence.
Some folks have advised you to move money etc out of this country- but remember this can backfire. Any financial transaction you do now, will be heavily scrutinized if there is a trial and will be treated as fraud if they are seen as attempts to hide money. This will bring in additional charges and the court will order for reversal of all these transactions. So tread carefully, my friend.

I guess after this step "it has to go to Rules Committee and await determinations by the Rules Committee as to how much debate will be allowed and whether floor amendments will be allowed, and if so , how many.
"
Just for the clarification of some of our friends (corrections are welcome) -
The current discussion is in the House Judiciary Committee. After this, the major steps for the bill will be to go through the House and Senate for discussions and voting.
There is still a long way to go, but sure this is an important milestone to pass the Judiciary Committee.
And it might not even be possible to get it to the House before the Pres elections. But the good thing is it will not have to go through the Judiciary commitee again.
Just wanted to state it for the benefit of the people who are not aware, as we are not building hopes that it will be all over today or in the next few days.

Very sorry to hear your case. Based on what you said, no one in other cars were disabled or had life threatening injuries. So it is unlikely that the Judge would grant that much money from the Insurance company or you.
You can always file for bankruptcy if worst situation comes. There is no shame in it in such circumstances.

Based on my understanding once 485 is filed, one can only get one year H1b extension it does not matter if one uses EAD/AP.
Q33 If I-140 is approved, 485 pending, still 3 yrs H1-B extension possible?
A33 Yes, if you have three years left fro original 6 years. If your 6 years are over and your 485 is filed, you can get only year to year extensions of H-1.

So what happens now? Does this affect QGA's involvement with us?
No, not right away.
But we will need to have more fund-raising drives and initiatives again to meet the ultimate target of 200K.
Please pitch in ideas for local fund-raising events and organize local events to collect checks from your friends and colleagues.

Do we really believe there aren't enough Americans to handle IT work in America?
yes. I honestly do. Having been through multiple recruitment attempts, at three different companies, in the bay area of all places: there are simply not enough qualified/interested american citizens available.
H-1b is not cheap labor. American companies prefer to hire H-1bs with US master's degrees or with substantial amounts of US experience. When they do hire foreigners, they do not discriminate against them by paying them lesser.
H-1bs are abused by desi vendors and the like who take advantage of the indenturing nature of the visa and also on the naivety of "fresh off the boat" people who newly arrive into the US and are unfamilar with US economy. They are starry eyed, still busy converting each dollar into their local currency and feeling happy they are earning relatively more and dreaming about paying off their EMIs back home, sooner. It takes quite a few months for them to settle down and understand US dynamics.
I agree.
Lastly, we should not confuse the need for H-1bs as equal to the need for GC holders. Take the example of middle eastern countries. They use foreign labor, but they never grant them permanent status. That way, they do not get stuck with them in the event of a downturn. American could have chosen to follow a similar model. Use H-1b temps when necessary and send them out when they are expendable. They have no reaons to hand out GCs, like I said earlier. The benefit is all ours.
good point. However unlike the kind of work being done in the middle-east, there are a ton of companies in the US founded or co-founded by immigrants. There is a reason this place is called the land of immigrants. Handing out GCs gives these people options to start companies and many many of them do. this creates jobs, creates more intellectual capital, all within the US. In 6 years if you make a cook in Dubai leave and go back to Kerala (just picking a typical example) he is not going to do anything to compete with Dubai. You make these H1-Bs who have spent 6 years here (working on various products, technologies, ramping up, understanding customers, relationships etc) go back, they are going to start companies in India. Now all the capital stays out there. The same 5 products that could have been built in the US and sold to lots of companies abroad, will now have to be bought by the US.
If there is any kind of immigration that I think the US does not gain much from, its the diversity lottery and to an extend the chain migration that comes from family based immigration. EB immigration is a BIG win for the US economy.
yes. I honestly do. Having been through multiple recruitment attempts, at three different companies, in the bay area of all places: there are simply not enough qualified/interested american citizens available.

Letting h4s work in "non specific-skilled jobs" may actually work against us because they will be in direct competition with local people in those jobs and anti immigrant will be against it. I guess porting to h1 from h4 can be a good option and a feasable option.

EB3 I is bad and will get worse. EB 3 ROW will also get screwed big time because of the 300k namecheck victims who are now eligible for visas. Trickle down will also be impacted because of that. USCIS uses short sighted methods to clear their hurdles, they dont realize that there is person behind each visa number. The only thing certain for EB 3 is that in OCT EB 3 will revert back to the June 08 dates.
The sad fact is that most of us were screwed because the lawyers suggested to our companies that EB3 is easier to process than EB2.
