desi,
All the points you mentioned are valid and sensible from a business perspective.
In case, you didn't read, I said valid legal reasons.
Here is text from my post
Many reasons. Pick any one of you choice.
1. Employer does not want file H-1B this year at all.
2. Employer already has 15% workforce on H-1B and does not want to become H-1B dependent employer.
3. This job is permanent and H-1B can be filed only for temporary jobs.
H-1B Specialty (Professional) Workers (http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/h-1b.cfm) The H-1B program allows an employer to temporarily employ a foreign worker in the U.S. on a nonimmigrant basis in a specialty occupation or as a fashion model of distinguished merit and ability.
4. H-1B quota is over (if applicable) and employee is on F1 OPT.
5. In past, many H1-B has been rejected by USCIS for this job position.
6. The job does not qualify as specialty occupation under H-1B
All of these reasons are valid legal reasons. One more time, valid legal reasons.

Listen, everyone is frustrated but to take your lives for a GC is crazy. If you guys are so depressed please seek medical help. If you have kids they will be US citizens they can sponsor you 18 years later so why are you that frustrated. When your wife is on H4 that is the best time to have kids because she is at home and you don't have to pay daycare. It is the woman in H1B that my sympathies are with bc they cannot go part-time or get more that 6 week maternity leave. So please buckle up or seek help, I don�t think your logic makes sense.
I and my wife have been SCREAMING, FIGHTING for over four years now. We are now so frustrated that we have EVEN DISCUSSED THINGS LIKE TAKING UP OUR LIVES !!! I really mean it. For both of us, our career is the single most important thing.
We had decided to wait for our next step in life like having a kid or putting in a big investment till we both at least have a job. Inspite of both of us having Masters degress from US universities, we are both suffering - me languishing in a filthy job and my wife on H4 - for the past 5 years !!! She is now more than 35 making it difficult to have kids etc...
I don't have the choice of going back to my home country due to many other personal reasons. I just don't know what to do... I am losing my sanity.

Among the very wonderful suggestions that many have given, I can tell you from my own experience, being a trained teacher of doing breathing exercises leading to meditation every day for the past 9 years, the whole perception and observation of our mind drastically changes! Not only that, the changes in our consciousness are so deep, the effect is profound and permanent. This comes from my own experential level as well as those I teach.
It is very difficult to train our mind thro' our mind and hence the breath which is the connection between the inner and outer world comes into the picture. Thro' our breath we can relax this mind to levels much deeper than sleep. The result of soaking our minds into this relaxation changes our whole perception, observation and expression and that too effortlessly !!
Seldom do we dive deep into the depths of our being. There is a great science behind our thought patterns and depression and why and when we get them and the method to unbound ourselves from these patterns.
"There is an art to gain the ability in life-it's very simple, just a skill-the ability to free your mind of the past, to free your mind of the future fears, and to be able to play with every situation that is in front of you."
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

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.

I know that IV core members are busy with their own jobs and helping with IV but I think this is an important discussion because it can be done with an administrative fix. If primary applicants are allotted GC's from EB 1,2 and 3 and dependents from FB2A it saves a lot of visa numbers. Somebody pls contact IV core directly and get them involved in this discussion.
This concept is not unique and is being done for age out children before CSPA (Child status protection act) and for children of US citizens and permanent residents who get married before getting GC.

The exchange between Chanduv and Desi3933 has been a refreshingly objective discussion and is a welcome change from the typical hyper-reactionary posts one sees more frequently in this forum.
One of the features of the fight for EB immigration reforms we all need to be cognizant of is - that most (99%) of the members are in this fight to solve an immediate personal problem (visa situation) in a timely manner - most of us are not in it because we believe it to be a cause larger than us and a cause that demands personal sacrifice - and hence the lack of collective passion (lukewarm responses to IV sponsored drives, donation efforts etc.)
While - many have tried to compare this cause to India's independence struggle or Gandhiji's movement in South Africa - but the fundamental difference is that in both these struggles - people who led the struggles led it at a personal cost (Gandhiji willingly gave away a lucrative career to take up the struggle and so did Nehru; Netaji Bose was a Civil Services Officer and gave it up) - even the vast majority of revolutionaries (Bhagat Singh et al) were college educated professionals who could easily have had nice careers in British India.........and therein lies the fundamental difference......not one of us would willingly give up what we have for this struggle - we are in it because we are stuck in a system and want some resolution.......as soon as our particular situation gets resolved...we move on....(maybe there are a few exceptions and hats off to these folks).........and hence Desi - the answer to your question why H1 does not care for F1 and EAD does not care for H1 and so on.......it is not a collective cause - it is just a collection of individual causes - thats all - we would be fooling ourselves if we had some other grandiose visions - calling this group a cause would be the same as calling passengers on a bus one group - they are in the same bus simply because they share a part of their journey - thats it
Well said. healthy discussions help introspect ourselves. In day to day life we seldom see people trying to be wise and good. At workplaces, there is no healthy discussion - all people do is to watch out their backs and talk accordingly - which leads to false perspectives. These days when we give a good advice to friends or someone they may not percieve it in a good way with a "stop preaching me - go help yourself" attitude.

Would be great.. but it will work only if enough people send those flowers! I suggest emailing your friends.. anyone who would listen! Persuade them to send those flowers!

I disagree
2) We and institutions like IV needs to come up with agenda to lift this country quota ban (at least to eleminate this huge backlog)
3) IV says they have agenda but nobody knows what thier laundry list is.
4) We need to work for lifting this country quota ... this is the only way out.
