brickbats and concerns apart few people believe in the concept and are ready to put the money where their belief lies. So if you can do something about it do it. Other suggestions are ok may be they can be made in the other thread where there is a discussion about media attention.
Gandhi - giri works everywhere and it has worked in this country too, have you heard about civil disobedience in this country too.. if you did not then you might want to use our fav : google and look it up. - Rosa parks , does that ring a bell? sometimes simple things take you farther than highly publicized event.
may be just look at this link if you are too lazy

I agree to the point that: we pay for unemployment , SS tax etc when we ourselves are not eligible for any of that if we continue on H1, in fact we are supposed to exit this country when we loose job!!!
what a joke...
also did u see this in history:
when europeans came here abt 500 years back, natives did not welcome them nor liked them. Now legal immigrants are coming , and you know how they are treated!!
so I guess system is behaving like normal. Its upto us to fight the system...
by demanding GC , we(for us and our generations) are asking for right to apply for citizenship, ultimately a right on the resource of this country(all resources including natural resource). So there has got to be fight/effort to get it. It will not come just doing what we do for living.

I would ask the same question...
If EB3 and EB2 are equal( unbiased) in eyes of IV, then why sanhari's suggestion is not welcome?
I can't understand why Sanhari's suggestion would rile up EB2 folks. All he suggested was to use the EB spillover visas for oldest cases irrespective of EB category and country.
Sanhari - Are you sure that this is a USCIS decision? Can USCIS change the way the do the spillover without legislation change?
Folks, There is a another thread on here that says IV is neither against EB3 nor for EB2. If that's really the case why would Sanhari's suggestion not find favor? If IV seriously want to do something for the backlog, Sanhari's suggestion should be taken up.
I anticipate and welcome reds, greens, blues for this post :)

Macaca:
The anticipated demand (that is calculated based on Pending Applications, New Applications that might become approvable and plethora of other factors including guess work) on Oct 1 2005/Oct 1 2006 was MUCH higher than 140,000 that was available for the entire year. Infact you have to break 140,000 into four quarters and apply contry quota (7%) to it since EB-3 ROW was not current on these dates. Thus it was hardly a surprise that India and China and EB-3 ROW remained retrogress on these dates.
Now fast forward to June 2007, there were 40,000 visa available in that last quarter and EB-3 ROW was in no position to consume that many that means spillover would come to India and China EB3/EB3 or else visa would be wasted in big numbers. The solution was to increase the supply and hence everything was current overnight. Until USCIS came in to spoil the party. They didn't do it in any simple way instead they choose the route of complete exhashtion and hence shutting the door.
Bottom line is: Unless demand for EB-3 ROW subsides (or it becomes current leaving substantial numbers for spillover) India EB-2 will always be cap subjected to 3200 or so visas every year. The sad part is catching up with the demand for EB-3 ROW is a moving target and thus EB-2 India might NEVER qualify for spillovers. I hope I am proved wrong by someone who has more insight.
140K GCs were available on Oct 1 2005 and Oct 2006: categories were not current.
< 40K GCs were available on June 12 2007: all categories were current.
If there is a law to prevent acceptance of ALL AOS's on Oct 1 (when 140K GCs are available) then that law was violated on June 12 2007.
If there is no law to prevent acceptance of AOS's on June 12 (when < 40K GCs were available) then all categories should have been current on Oct 1 2005 and Oct 1 2006.

Well, if u have made up ur mind just based on some post(s) (which by the way, may or may not be true and even if true, do u know the minute details around that case like country of origin, was H1 overstayed etc...etc...?), then no matter what I or anybody else suggests, u will still counter by showing that ONE little post. Do a google on AP with canadian landing and u will see many successful cases. So, tally between the successes and failures. I can guarantee u that for atleast every 100 successes u may (or may not) see one problematic case. The general mentality is, well, there was one failure case...so, will I be the next to be caught? U will completely forget about the success cases. Even if its a problematic case, its not like the end of the world for them. They are still given a chance to re-enter USA.If everything goes wrong, then big deal, Canada beckons. Again, its my point of view.
So, my final suggestion to u is...."Its ur call. Do what ur mind says". If I were in ur position, I'd have taken the risk and I have laid out my points of views in my earlier posts. But for u, I'd only say..."Its ur call".
Folks this is personal experience
We during the endless wait for the elusive GC decided to have back up plan. So applied for Canadian PR in March 2003. The Mandatory 52 weeks were in progress when I had to move out of the city from where we used to reside. So I completed the formalities of informing the Immigration dept of canada about the change in address. After 48 weeks we received a letter from the Canadian Immigration to proceed for Medical examinations and finger prints> We completed both the formalities and within 2 months received the request to send out passports for Stamping. In June 2004 we completed the formalities of getting the passport stamped. Meanwhile here in the US we had already received LCA approval and filed 140 and received approval for the same also but we were not hopeful of the GC itself.
In July 2005 we landed in Canada through Detroit. Drove all the way to Toronto. We were keen to complete all the minimum formalities required like setting up a bank account, applying for SIN etc. We stayed a a friends place and completed the formalities next 2-3 days and then drove back to the US.
Immigration status:
My H1 had expired( 6 yrs completed) Feb 2005 so moved on to EAD. During the entry back to US they did not ask any questions. They asked when we entered US etc and general questions about work for which we replied. Questions about AOS were not asked as it was pretty apparent we were in AOS. The IO scanned through the entire passport and even saw the immigration stamp by canadian consulate and did not comment on it. I guess the answer to any potential questions would be that you will let go of the Canadian PR in case you get your US GC. As far as I know there is no statute or directive that IO should cancel the existing US GC process in anyway. The choice of choosing your country of permanent residence is yours I do not know/think if IO has any say in that.( I might be wrong may be we were lucky). Long story short.. We entered back to the US. Subsequently we got our GC cards which were collected by another friend who was visiting Canada and brought them back to the US. This year July is the last window of oppurtunity for us to go back to Canada.
We did spend close to 2500$ for the whole process if I counted right.We filed ourselves. It was a valid back up plan for the position we were in. I have had 2 more colleagues of mine who were in the same situation and applied and got their Canadian PR's in the same way and no issues when entering back to the US. One of them even goes to canada every few months to show he is working out of Canada and goes out on consulting jobs. He is maintaining a virtual phone number in canada for any contacts that gets routed to his US number if somebody calls.
Any call to go this route is purely personal and one person's experience is not a yardstick to say that is the norm.

Also just fyi, my I-140 app. is pending at NSC since Dec' 2006. So now I am all over the country :-) Don't know its good or bad. Any idea anyone?
Is anyone else in a similar situation?
Best of luck to all....

Gurus,
I have a unique position. couple of weeks back I was told that have fatal cancer and won't live pass 4-6 months. After recovering from initial shock I am wondering if my wife will be able to continue her american dream or she will have to head home after me.
I have filed 485 with approved 140 back in june, 2007 with PD of March, 2003
Please help.

Mehul,
As all expressed, I was too uttlerly shocked to my guts and went blank for a while. Obviously do not know the answer and feeling helpless not be able to show you the path. But be calm and confident. I pray to GOD for giving you and your family a strength to deal with this shocking reality. I hope your lawyer can help you out of this. As far as medical diagnostic and treatment is concerned, I would request you to have second opinion from best doctors in India.

Why don;t you sign unless it say until and after 1 year approval:, you can leave employment after 6 months of filing I-485 and see what happens at that time, you have nothing to loose
>> you have nothing to loose
How can you say that? Do you EVEN know what are you saying?
I suggest you talk to lawyer before losing "something".
