Disclosure : I have already received 2 year EAD (thanks to IV). I have taken initiative to bootstrap the effort to help others who haven't been so fortunate. Since we are all in the same boat let us watch each others back for a change, instead of trying to backstab each other at every available opportunity.
This is NOT a yet another case tracker /EAD tracker thread. I don't believe that just tracking stuff will change anything. Be it EAD issue or any other, real world action is needed to solve it.
I have started this thread to guage the impact this issue has had on our community , how many members are affected, what actions have been taken by them, so that next steps can be taken. If a large number of members are impacted IV may decide to take up the issue.
Here are the options available to applicants
1) Call National Customer Service Center and create a Service Request (SR) to expedite the case
2) Fax and mail a letter to Service Center requesting to expedite the case due to possibility of job loss. Since the burden of proof is on the applicant - a letter from the company that EAD is necessary for continuation of job may help.
3) If steps 1 and 2 don't produce the results and CRs refuse to open SRs citing silly reasons, USCIS Ombudsman may be approached.
Here's how you can do that - http://www.dhs.gov/ximgtn/programs/editorial_0497.shtm
4) Approach your US Congressmen/women Representative/Senators. Every office has a different form for requesting Immigration help. They can open an inquiry with USCIS on your behalf.
Following the above (4) steps is no guarantee that your case will be resolved. But it is necessary that we follow all possible avenues before the issue needs to be escalated. We shouldn't feel embarassed at the question "Did you follow up with all these avenues available to you?". Our answer should be - "Yes. We did all that and it didn't help". And we should be able to produce the proof that we did do all the four steps mentioned above.
If you have done all the four or after you have exhausted all avenues, AND are willing to take it further - speak to the media, participate in possible IV campaign etc., post your details. We need members ready to go public with the issue if we want to succeed.
Right now, I have started this as an individual initiative. But I am sure that IV will get involved once it's proven that a large number are impacted and there are enough members to turn it into a campaign.

As far as talking about peers, I consider IV folks to be my peers too. ;)
As another member of Austria has pointed out, if something has to be in a regional language, as a courtesy, provide english translation as well. Talking about your peers: I am sure you don't communicate with your Chinese, Polish & American peers in your regional language.

From what I can gather, from the immigration perspective:
1. If you are on H1 - You can technically start a business but since you cannot "work" towards it, in practice it's almost impossible
2. If you are on H1 and have an EAD - You can start a business. But if you use your EAD, you are no longer on H1. (There are contradicting views on using EAD for PT while still maintaining H1. For now, this is a grey area)
3. If you are on EAD -
a. If you plan to work on your business on a part time basis and stay with your sponsored job full time, I don't see a problem with this.
b. If you plan to work on your business full time, you might have an issue with a RFE at the I-485 stage as you would have used AC21 for self employment (Some people say this is okay, but it depends on your risk taking ability)
Thoughts?

As a time gap arrangement see if you can get your license from your home country.
Worst case if asked by a cop atleast you will have that.
Yes, I am also in the same boat. Filed my 9th year extension in March, responded RFE during 1st week of August. Mine will be expiring in 3 more days. Hoping to get the extension soon.

We all are working and in this economy everyone is worried about losing job if they don't go to work. I have two little kids and I work full time. I already used the vacation that I got for this year, it because of kids being sick one after the other and need to be off again next month for loss of pay for a kid's surgery. I know its just two more days and might result in something positive but I can't take a chance of losing my job and then don't have a job when it�s time for my 485 to be approved resulting in denial.
I will donate money but unfortunately, I can't come for the advocacy day. It is a sticky situation for many.
People who cannot attend personally...should contribute in other ways.

When i checked my status online, i saw that there was a LUD on my pending case on 10/7 and 10/8. Wondering there is a LUD, I called the NSC and the person on the phone told me that the case is being reviewed by an officer.
My question is that if there are no numbers available, then why would there be a LUD on the case status. So has anyone else seen a LUD on their cases as recently as after Oct 1, 2008????
MY PD is March 2006
Filed 485 in July 2007.
RD is Aug 2007.

On a second thought, though, why then DOL said that I required 5 when I had MS plus 5 yrs of exp.? Did they interpret my 5 as including the 4 yrs attributed to getting MS?

Obviously i was wanting to know what the law states...and not a democratic answer. I dont always expect forums to quote the law correctly - use your judgement!
Thanks anyway for that answer. My situation is different beacuse with the I-140 PP going away for now...and my H1B expiring Feb 2008...I am left with approved I-140,Labor and retrogressed dates to be eligible for 3yr extension.
Now that if 140 is pending ...then I am left with EAD as the only option to continue manitaing my status.
Correct my intrepretation of law if wrong..
If your labor was filed after Feb 07 (since your H1 expiring in feb 08) and your I-140 does not get approved by feb 08, then EAD is the only option to be in status, (unless u join Patni, TCS, wipro, Infy on L1 :-)

As per Ron Gotcher more bills are going to be introduced and then they will try to consolidate them into one. He has his response at the following link:
http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7013
Re: Hr 264
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of three expected bills introduced in the House. The sponsor of this bill (there were no co-sponsors) is Sheila Jackson-Lee. She is a fringe player. Next Tuesday, Luis Gutierrez, the chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, plans to introduce his version of CIR. It will most likely concentrate on amnesty.
At some point in the future, we can expect a bill from Zoe Lofgren. The Lofgren bill will be the one that will have bi-partisan supporters and will be taken seriously. That will be the "real" CIR proposal in the House.
If I had to bet on it, my bet would be that if anything at all passes, it will be visa recapture, quota expansion, and H1b relief. There is a strong core of support for those measures. The weakest component of CIR is amnesty.
