It's state law.
Why would anybody ask for visa to issue a driver's license? How is one's driving privilege dependent upon visa? No one has ever asked me or my wife or my friends for a visa to issue a driver's license. Is this some law specific to some states?

Quizzer,
This is a great idea. My EB3 pending for almost a year now at NSC and cases at TSC are being cleared well with in the 6 month timeframe.
I really wish IV could take this as a top priority issue.
Lets have other members support us in this.

I am pretty sure $10,000 is limit while coming into USA. While going to India, the limit is much less, about Rs.12,000 or so (check with some Indian websites). I know, you need declare (for Tax purposes) if you carry more than this amount. I don’t know tax liability of this declarion. Also, the amount varies on the purpose and duration of abroad trip.

USCIS updated today (07/30/07), the form 765 and instructions corresponding to 765
go to http://www.uscis.gov, click on 'Immigration Forms' tab, search for '765' and open the EAD link, go to the bottom of this page. now they seperated instructions and form into two separate links.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf ( for instructions )
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765.pdf ( the actual form )
I think they added details about 'where to file'.
The information AditiK was refering on 9th page is now on 12th page.
gcpradeep's interpretation is wrong. danila's interpretation is absolutely right.
Its 30 days for asylum applicants and 90 for all other eligible applicats.
It looks very clear that 485 filers CAN get interimEAD after 90days.
Interim EAD.
If you have not received a decision within90 days of receipt by USCIS of a properly filed EADapplication
or
within 30 days of a properly filed initial EADapplication based on an asylum application filed on or afterJanuary 4, 1995,
you may obtain interim work authorizationby appearing in person at your local USCIS district office.You must bring proof of identity and any notices that you havereceived from USCIS in connection with your application foremployment authorization.

Here is my understanding:
Situation 1-
1. Get New Visa Stamped:
If you get a new visa stamped, you will be entering on the new visa. The consular will cancel your old visa at the time of issue of new visa. My understanding is that you can have only one valid visa of the same type stamped at one time. The visa stamp does not have an effective date and it only has expiry date. Again this could have changed with all the changes in the last year or so,, but in the past they would cancel the old visa generally with the wordings �CWOP� across the old stamp at the time of new visa issue. If that�s the case you will enter on your new visa which will have the extended expiry date.
Situation 2
2. No New Visa Stamped and entering on the old visa
I am not sure how this works; because the new H1-B extension you just got has the same I-94 Number printed on the approval card (on the bottom left side) as the paper I-94 you have stapled on your Passport. Once you leave you will surrender your I-94 that�s on your passport and get a new I-94 when you enter which would have a new I-94 number which will now be different from your I-94 on the H1 B extension. I believe this I-94 will take precedence over the I-94 that you have on your H1-B approval since that will now show in the USCIS records as surrendered. Again this is my understanding but an attorney can give you a better advise on this..
Hope this helps..

USCIS has issued a Fact Sheet (http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Structure/Press%20Releases/2009%20Press%20Releases/Oct%202009/public_charge_fact_sheet.pdf) explaining what renders a person a "public charge" and therefore inadmissible to the US and ineligible to become a permanent resident. This inadmissibility applies to anyone who "at the time of application for admission or adjustment of status, is likely at any time to become a public charge."
The Fact Sheet explains that "public charge" means
an individual who is likely to become �primarily dependent on the government for subsistence, as demonstrated by either the receipt of public cash assistance for income maintenance, or institutionalization for long-term care at government expense.....In determining whether an alien meets this definition for public charge inadmissibility, a number of factors must be considered, including age, health, family status, assets, resources, financial status, education, and skills. No single factor - other than the lack of an affidavit of support, if required - will determine whether an individual is a public charge.
The following are not considered for "public charge" purposes because they are "non-cash benefits or special-purpose cash benefits that are not intended for income maintenance":
Medicaid and other health insurance and health services (including public assistance for immunizations and for testing and treatment of symptoms of communicable diseases, use of health clinics, short-term rehabilitation services, prenatal care, and emergency medical services) other than support for long-term institutional care
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Nutrition programs, including Food Stamps, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program, and other supplementary and emergency food assistance programs
Housing benefits
Child care services
Energy assistance, such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Emergency disaster relief
Foster care and adoption assistance
Educational assistance (such as attending public school), including benefits under the Head Start Act and aid for elementary, secondary, or higher education
Job training programs
In-kind, community-based programs, services, or assistance (such as soup kitchens, crisis counseling and intervention, and short-term shelter)
Non cash benefits under TANF such as subsidized child care or transit subsidies
Cash payments that have been earned, such as Title II Social Security benefits, government pensions, and veterans' benefits, among other forms of earned benefits, do not support a public charge determination.
Unemployment compensation is also not considered for public charge purposes.

This is from Rajiv Khanna's Immigration.com (http://www.immigration.com/common/synergybackpay.html), found today.
Employer to be barred for two years from H-1 and green card filing for willful failure to pay benched employees.
In a decision entitled "Administrator WHD v. Synergy Systems, Inc." on June 30, 2006, the employer was ordered to pay back wages to two benched (Indian) employees and was directed to be barred from the H-1 AND green card programs for two years. The employer tried to argue that the employees were on unpaid leave of absence. This argument was rejected. It was found that employer had willfully violated H-1B regulations, hence it must be barred from the H-1 and green card filing for at least two years.
What this tell us is:
1. Its really not a joke to go around benching people without pay.
2. All it takes its an official complaint to be filed with Department of labor. And although it takes time, the department of labor would go after such employers and do the neccesary "Treatment" and "therapy" needed to teach such employers a lesson.
3. It is not the employee's fault if they are not paid wages for the time they spend when they are non-productive, aka, illegal benching-without-pay. Employee's responsibility to find a gainful employment starts ONLY AFTER the employer officially terminates the employee and send USCIS the notice to revoke H1. After that, its the employee's responsibility to maintain status and legality.
Employers like Synergy are not only a menace to their own employees, they are also a menace to the entire system. The anti-immigrants cite such employers to make their case for their own cause by saying that "H1Bs are exploited and H1Bs are slaves and H1Bs and immigrants are driving down wages". When in reality, H1B employees most earn the same amount or more amount than any other employee on greencard or citizenship. Such few bad apples really provide examples for our opponents on other side to create new sound bites. These are the guys who put us in trouble and provide fodder to Lou Dobbs and programmer's guild(organization against hi-tech immigration).
I am disappointed that they are barred only for 2 years. Coz after 2 years, I can guarantee that they will be probably back to their old tricks. There is such a thing called RECIDIVISM. A tendency to revert back to previous pattern of bahavior. Pretty much like a dog's tail. No matter how long you keep a dog's tail in a straight tube, as soon as you take it out, it regains its original shape.
However, 2 years is still 2 years. And I am going to toast to that. CHEERS !!!!!!!!!! :):)
If anyone here has been an employee of Synergy or is still an employee, you may want to take appropriate steps to change your employer and check the consequence to your immigration status and GC status.

And it may well depend upon the demand for H1b visas this year. If there is a huge demand for H1b visas like last year, there is a good chance congress may recapture lost H1b visas. Then EB visas may also be recaptured along with H1b visas.
But I'm not sure about the demand for H1B this year , as H4 to H1 conversion will be down this year due to (most of) H4 visa holders getting EAD. Another issue is if OPT is increased to 24 months, then F1 to H1 will also fall drastically.
Fear of recession may also reduce new H1B visa demand.
Haven't heard of recapturing H1 visas. With high demand for H1s I doubt if there will be any unused visas to be recaptured. Even if there are any then can the congress recapture them? Even if they did why would they recapture unused EB visas along with unused H1 visas? . Am I missing something here?..

WD is right that this is a model for groups with specific issues within iv. it is not possible for iv leaders to maintain focus on every issue in the realm of this warped system. as an organization it is only appropriate for iv to focus on the big overarching goal of ending retrogression to benefit all.
however specific groups do have a way to take initiative for their issues within the iv framework. it is necessary though to find leaders, take initiative and build your own momentum with continuous efforts.
iv-physicians is a model for this and it's hopefully continued and eventual success will inspire others.
