The antis will tell you that if we could only get rid of cheap foreign workers, Americans would be lining up to take the jobs. An article this past week in the Wall Street Journal shows a different reality. The piece focuses on the dairy industry which is completely dependent on immigrant labor even in a major recession. And dairy is pretty similar to other agricultural fields. US workers are simply not desperate enough to take on these physically demanding jobs in remote rural locations. The antis response is usually the same - if these employers just paid more, then...

I currently have a green card and I am filing a I130.
On part B question 14, (Date and place of admission for or adjustment to lawful permanent residence and class of admission), what is the correct way to answer "place of admission for or adjustment to lawful permanent residence"?
I received my employment based green card after filing I-485 and adjusting status. My AOS was approved while I was here in the US.
TIA.

Reid Eyes Rules Changes To Restrict Amendments (http://www.rollcall.com/issues/53_10/news/19488-1.html) By Emily Pierce, ROLL CALL STAFF, July 23, 2007
After nearly seven months of battling Republican filibusters and controversial amendments on the Senate floor, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Friday he may seek to change Senate rules to make it easier to restrict amendments on the floor.
Reid said Rules and Administration Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) would be tasked with exploring what rules changes should be made.
Noting that there has been a "growing breakdown between the majority and minority in terms of how to get things done," Howard Gantman, Feinstein's chief of staff for the Rules panel, said the committee would conduct a "comprehensive review" and look at the rules on the germaneness of amendments and how long Senators have to review proposals before voting on them.
"Sen. Feinstein is very serious about looking at the vast range of amendments that are brought in at the last minute that are not germane," said Gantman. He added that the panel's focus would be on "how to better get things done."
Reid spokesman Jim Manley cautioned that Reid "has no intention of unilaterally seeking a rules change."
However, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) scoffed at the notion of limiting or restricting Senators' ability to offer amendments, which he likened to freedom of speech.
"Look, nobody's going to shut anybody up in the Senate," he said at a press conference Friday. "There's going to be robust debate. You can just write that down. And I understand Sen. Reid's frustrations, but we're not going to establish any speech police in the Senate - not now, not ever."
Reid apparently reached his boiling point Thursday night when Republicans used Senate budget rules to offer a number of non-germane amendments to a student loan financing bill.
"What went on last night was ridiculous," Reid said on the Senate floor. "We should change those rules. ... We will have to take a look at that."
Reid said Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Chairman Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and ranking member Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) managed the student loan measure "very well until it ran into the rule that we have here that allows unending amendments on any subject forever, literally, before you get to final passage."
Because the higher education bill - by virtue of its status as a budget reconciliation measure - was immune to filibuster, Senate rules permitted unlimited amendments to be offered and voted on. On Thursday night, in particular, Senators were given only a few minutes to review the substance of some amendments before they were asked to vote on them.
As is customary with budget and reconciliation measures, Senators engaged in a long series of back-to-back votes, known as a "vote-a-rama," at the end of the debate. But Democrats said Republicans' insistence on having 14 non-germane votes - including six related to cutting taxes, three related to immigration and two related to terrorism - was excessive.
When Democrats pushed back with their own non-germane amendment expressing the Senate's opinion that President Bush should not pardon Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, Scooter Libby, Republicans tried to force a vote on former President Bill Clinton's controversial pardons.
But before the Senate could vote on that, Reid asked that both the Libby vote and the GOP pardons amendment be stricken from the Congressional Record, and the chamber voted on final passage of the bill.
Manley explained: "These so-called vote-a-ramas are bad for the system, and they may lead to bad policy. As have leaders in the past, all Sen. Reid was doing was expressing his frustration at the Republicans' desire to score cheap political points at the expense of a good-faith effort to pass a bill that will make college education more affordable for more Americans."
Even though Reid is seeking a Rules panel review, the rules governing Thursday night's debate actually fall under the Congressional Budget Act. If Reid were to seek a change in the Budget Act, the Senate would have to pass legislation and it would have to be signed into law by the president.
However, changes to Senate rules require 67 votes to pass.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD AFTERNOON GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

My PERM was filed in Dec, 2006 and was denied on April, 2007. As per my employer's lawyer it was erroneously denied by DOL. The lawer has received the denial letter but no reason was stated. He was keep on follwing up with DOL but no answers. On Aug 2007, lawyer was followed up again directly with the DOL office in Atlanta , with the liaison at the American Immigration Lawyer's Association and also it was sent to the congressional office. Through Senetor we came to know that there was typo in the date field. The lawer is persuing to get the denal letter again with reason so that we can appeal. But we have 10% chance to get the another deial letter. Now lawer is asking for filling a new PERM. In between I lost 8 months and now I'm running out time. My 6th year is expiring on Sept08. Just incase if we din't get denial letter and file the new PERM on Mrach can we get the 7th year extension ? (We will show all the documents etc for previos denail case and there was no reason in denail letter. PLEASE HELP

Who is the best immigration attorney out there to deal with a cross-chargeability case? (Need to claim cross-chargeability based on Spouse's citizenship on an already filed I-485 case).
Any first hand experiences with attorneys like Rajeev Khanna, Murthy, Ron Gotcher etc?? Or is there anyone better (in terms of paying proper attention while filing & being reachable in case of any RFEs etc.,) out there?
Please suggest!! Any personal experience with one of the above mentioned attorneys would be really great!!
