I think you may have confused them by stating that you possess a H-1B and a valid EAD. You need to get H-1B out of the picture. Assuming you have AOS pending, you don't need H-1B to be in status.
They way I read the email, it clearly states that if you are on H-1B you are not protected from citizenship status discrimination. However, you are not complaining about discrimination on your H-1B status. You are not asking for sponsorship. I think you need to forget that you have H-1B. That is completely IRRELEVANT. Once you use your EAD, your H-1B is automatically invalidated. You need to say that you have have EAD and AP (with pending AOS). Whether you have EAD/AP because you are EB immigrant, FB immigrant, asylee or refugee SHOULD NOT MATTER.
My suggestion is that you don't give up. Call them and explain them again by keeping the H-1B status out of picture. Somebody denied you employment based on the fact that you have EAD. You have EAD for work authorization and pending AOS as legal status. Thats all you need. Remember, that you can be in the same situation of pending AOS and EAD even if you are not on H-1B. Your current H-1B has nothing to do with this. If I were you, I would file the charges.
In addition, you may want to contact ACLU. They might be able to line up a lawyer for you. Although, I think they will probably just advise you to file a complaint to OSC.
If you want to talk with me on the phone, PM me.

Hi,
I received I485 approval mail on Sept 9th 2010, but have not received my cards yet. There was a soft LUD on Sept 17th. Anyone in this situation?
What was the LUD you received on Sep 17th? I got the same msg on 09/09, but nothing after that. Is your online status changed to card production?

Its just sad that when it comes to processing immigration applications, we are too many. But when it comes to contributions or calling senators and sending emails, WE ARE TOO FEW :confused:

I sent following fax to senator, congressmen, etc.
If any one knows the fax# of any senior executive @ NSC. Please post here.
Bottomline, everyone has to fight his/her battle. Help yourself.
Date: Sept 19th 2007
To,
The Honorable Senator Dianne Feinstein

Fax: (202) 228-3954
Sub: Inquiry/status for I-485 AOS application sent to USCIS, Nebraska Service Center on July 2nd 2007 [USPS Tracking No. XXXXXXXUS]
Dear Honorable Ms. Feinstein,
My Adjustment Application [type, e.g. I-485] was delivered to INS Express, Nebraska Service Center, Lincoln, NE on July 2nd 2007. I didn�t get any information for said application. USCIS Customer Service are very unhelpful and don�t provide any information.
USCIS website says NSC are working with August 2007 received AOS applications. So USCIS is either not following the First in First out (FIFO) process for sure or misleading the public.
I need help of your good office to track my AOS application delivered to NSC on July 2nd 2007. Please feel free to contact me for any additional information.
Details as provided below:

Sincerely yours,

I was thinking of doing things on same line, but thru local congressmen. I dont have any info regarding any top-notch person in NSC :(
pls. keep us posted. Thanks

Do we send one check for applicable fees for both?

I don't think it will do much good sueing uscis on this issue. The point is, they have the legal authority to be the one interporating the law. So, if there is "gray area" in the law, the law says it is their understanding that matters, not ours or any one else's. So, unless the law very specifically says it must be done in another way, you can not argue uscis did the wrong thing.
Now that we see the immigration law does not very specifically regulate how the flow should be like, so uscis have the authority to "understand the intention of the law" and act accordingly. You can't say you think the law means otherwise and thus sue uscis, because that argument makes no sense to the court. The court will only accept the argument when the government is apparently acting against the law.
Absolutely, I have seen misleading comments especially from EB2 guys. EB3 have to do something otherwise there is no future for us here. Now EB2 line will never end bcoz all new applications will come as EB2. Hoping for spillover after EB2-I becomes current is just a dream now that never comes true.

OP should try to pursue this through a lawyer if s/he can. For the rest of us, maybe time to think of what we can do together to not face this again in the future. Lot of us are going to be on EAD for a while.

I am sorry if I am wrong, but do you think if IV CORE try to hold a meeting with top CIS officials on this issue, wouldn't that be more effective? Many members reported not getting proper response to letters. Who knows whether anyone @CIS has time & willingness to read and act on our letters? Why not take an active approach rather than passive one?
I agree, We still should send the letters though. I will send mine by monday Nov. 10. Meanwhile, if we can do the webfax or email, we may can have more members participate. just my 2 cents!
So far not even 100 participants to the event. This lack of action is killing us. I sincerely thank people who sent mails.

Am using vonage for lnadline for long as well used their European calling service in past - voice quality is very good - and now to India as well (to land line and cell) - quality is very good ....
Does it work well with Home security systems Like BRINKS? How good is the call quality if you have DSL at home. I have DSL with 1.5 MBPS download. Thus the voice garbles when you are actively downloading on Internet.

Well, whether a merchandise can be returned after using, depands on the nature of the merchandise and the level of customer service provided by the seller.
If you are buying a TV or a home theater, you don't know if it is functioning properly until you use it. And returning it within stipulated "return period" is not only legal but also ethical.
Some high-end sellers will even guarantee customer satisfaction by allowing a return any time, yes any time if the customer is not fully satisfied with their product. There is nothing unethical about this. That is why these high-end stores charge you a premium in the first place.
Not allowing return of merchandise reflects the low level of customer service we used to get back home. Obviously that level of service expectaion has been engrained in us so much that we believe returning used merchandise, even when the customer is not satisfied, is unethical.
If its not working, its called 'Defective'. Otherwise its called unethical. Understand the difference.

US is made by immigrants and the immigrants should feel great about this country since this country gave us opportunity. Look at the things that is happening to us since last few months.
1. CIR bill introduce with lots of provision for Legal immigrants such as reduction of visa numbers to 90k, some people need to apply under new points system, and higher fees for renewing H1b visa. (Supporting US government)
2. Amendments introduce for legal immigrants coming to US on H1B visa or who are on H1B visa. No renewal of your H1B visa since AC21 was removed from the original bill. (Immigrants can go back to thier home country quickly).
3. VB came out with all the dates current. Majority of the people spent approx. $4000-$5000, and time so that they are their family can have better life. On July 2 2007 VB dates will show 'U'. (Supporting US economy)
WOW.
