Hi Prince,
I went thru posts on other forums with I 485 denials after 180 days of filing. In almost all the cases, people filed MTR and their I 485 was re-instated back to normal after that. You should be fine after filing the MTR with the help of attorney.
I know these 15-20 days will be hard for you. Hang on. I had the same experiance when there an RFE on my I 140.

Wonder why?

I do not think this is the case with OP, given that I quote, Employer X offiered me a job and sponsored my H1B and got it approved too". I guess this is a new H1B filing rather than a transfer from Employer #2 to Employer X. if this is a transfer, OP is in trouble as you suggested and the employment from transfer approval date till now will be considered "unauthorized work".
could you confirm whether Employer X thing is a transfer or fresh filing?
There is no such thing called H1B Transfer. You either file an Extension with your existing employer or a New H1B whenever you change an employer. New H1B may or may not come under quota.
One can have multiple H1B's. In this case, he had multiple H1B for several months butb used only one them. So, he was in H1B status all along with a employer who filed his H1B petition.

I think we could have used some popular tactics to ensure larger attendance in the rally. If the core knew that people like Sheela Murthy and Greg Siskind would be joining the rallly, they should have let everybody know in advance. some people would have attended just to see those big names in person.
I know it's all about ideology and you can say we don't need people who don't want to come for the cause, but looking at what other anti-immigration groups are resorting to, it wouldn't have been a bad idea.

Are they asking for $20 money order or a stamped envelope again? I won't be surprised if these people are pocketing the extra money.
She gave the choice to either send $20.00 MO or send an stamped envelope. I am contemplating on sending the $20.00 MO. Because I don't want them to tell me again that I have not sent the envelope, should I send one.

But still the good news is everyone would be able to get their EADs and escape from the clutches of H-1B renewals and restrictions of remaining with the same employer etc. It's freedom to work anywhere! Doesn't matter when actually the I485 gets approved, until then you're free of H-1B tension at least. This is a big leap forward.

I flew Air France once in 2003. My connecting flight from Paris to Delhi got delayed by 12 hours. When I approached the Air France staff, they told me that since I had an Indian passport, I would have to wait out the entire time in the transit area. Meanwhile, they proceeded to make arrangements for other non-Indian passengers. They even refused to acknowledge my attempts to reason with them, either not replying to me, or replying only in French. I filed a formal complaint afterwards, but never got a reply.
I have travelled on numerous times since then, but never with Air France. I don't even consider them as an option anymore.
Sparky I had same experience in 2003 only my next flight was after 24 hours. They refused to accommodate me in a hotel or on another flight though they had sense to issue me a calling card for 10 euros and a meal coupon. I have never flow AF since that day (even if their tickets are cheaper) and neither has any of my friends or family member. Every time I hear somebody is planning to fly to India, I tell them my story and trust me nobody I know has flow with AF since 2003.

Dear Members,
We are working hard to assist our members coming to DC for the advocacy days. Many members have been helped by local DC members by providing accommodation in their homes.
We are trying very hard to manage the high expense of this event ranging from booking a conference room in a hotel near Capitol hill, printing and buying bulk media drives for each meeting, organizing a press event to Congressional reception expenses. Our budget is $50 thousand dollars for the entire event and we are struggling to meet this goal. Our minimum budget for these events is 50K budget. At this time we have received around $7,500 dollars as contribution from IV members, and we wholeheartedly Thank every who has contributed. But we need everyone to step up to the plate and do their fare share. We have a tough road ahead and we need every one to help for their ow cause. In the past IV Team had spent their personal resources to get the effort going and have our voices heard. We are all working hard to organize these events despite some of the core members already getting their Green card holders. It is now up to each member how valuable they view this effort and can stand up for themselves. Each one of us is participating this effort for own self rather than doing any favor to others or to IV. Please donate generously for this event so that we can make it a success..
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum85-action-items-for-everyone/1534974-funding-drive-iv-needs-your-support-for-advocacy-events-in-dc.html
Travel:
Some members have approached us seeking help in their tickets. We are not in a position to pay for travel or arrange buses for anyone. We would like to help them by starting this thread and urging other members to donate their skymiles to others that are coming.
Please post on this thread if you are willing to donate your skymiles. An IV representative will keep a tab on all skymiles and connect both the donor and recipient after verifying that the recipient will be coming to Dc and using these skymiles only for the advocacy days for himself.
We have a member from a state where we do not have many members and needs American Airlines miles. He would need more than 1 lakh miles. There are a few more in our list.
Carpool:
If you are driving to DC, please post so that others can carpool with you.
Accommodation in DC
IV urges local DC members to volunteer and provide accommodation to guest members from other states in their homes. Please post on this thread if you would like to open your homes for other IV friends.

I was under the impression that unused visas of one category ( EB/F ) may be used for the other category ( F/EB ) for the next year.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also I have no idea what that number exactly is. It is pbly somewhere in the uscis ombudsman report. Just too lazy today morning to look it up :D

I loved Fragomen. Very responsive and are working over weekends to expedite applications..
I highly recommend them.
I second this. Fragomen is excellent, working over the weekends too..couldnt believe my ears this morning when they called me and asked me to come over to sign the completed applications for me and my wife. I kinda resigned myself to the fact that these big firms will take a while to process these applications and wasnt expecting anything from them atleast till the third week of July.
Just amazing firm...

Friends,
Ofcourse everyone is very excited that the priority dates are current but let's take a careful look for why it became current all of a sudden even when the demand for visa numbers is so high and was backlogged by 5 years up until couple of months ago.
1. I sincerely feel this is just to keep the legal immigrants to stop protesting for benefits in the CIR. Well, the CIR is supposed to be dead right? Wrong, count 2 weeks from now and the Bill will be back with tons of benefits for Illegal aliens and none for legals.
2. Currently Service centers are processing cases received in Aug-Sept. '06 with the few thousands of applications being submitted for the next few weeks the processing dates will be moved back by couple of years. All this time we were waiting for the priority dates and now will wait for the processing dates to be advanced. What a circus!!!
3. Just when the case is ready for processing that would be atleast couple of years from now, the priority dates will be retrogressed may be by 10 years this time.
To my knoweledge we should still continue to lobby the senators and get the Visa numbers increased, get the country quota eliminated, Only one visa should be counted per family... and get it into the CIR. Should the CIR pass without these ammendments legal immigrants will be stuck in limbo for every because there will be no more CIRs in the near future.
TIA

YES!!. Perfect analysis. You are right!. The fight is ON!. It is just that members need to get this filing for 485 out of their way. But lets not get distracted too much and keep an eye on any legislation comming up.

I think we can work as a Group on this Issue. I am ready to lead or Join this Group.
We can file in Court if required as a Group to get a greater exposure and success.
Least but not last, the contributions can be very very minimum. We can get more people join this site in less time with this issue.
Requesting IV core team to advise on it.
Thanks
That is exactly what I am thinking. There are laws to protect immigrants from discrimination. I believe this clause was added to the Social Security Act to protect us in situations exactly like this one.
Also, I am glad to have become involved in this as it has led me to great immigration resources like IV, which I would not have known about otherwise.
