Hi Guys,

I am not sure if this is the trend everywhere only in TX. The DPS - Department of public Safety which is issuing Driving License started asking for the Employment Verification or latest Pay Slip. I asked the officer if its the new requirement and she replied Yes, its started recently. If you are in H1 or H4 visa, you need to prove that you are still in job and getting paid. One more nail in the coffin.

Thanks

What about folks working on EAD?

How about boycotting CNN. The immigration community should boycott CNN. That will send a strong message to CNN with there current trouble with there rattings.

The idea is - use this guy and expose media that gives false news or that supresses real issues and force those types of media to bring our issue to limelight.

I have heard all media saying "We are immigrant nation", "we need skilled immigrants", "'We are not racist", etc.. then again the same media says "Immigrants are overstaying visas", "There is quota, we cannot do anything", same media has supressed microsoft's news about the Canada development center just because it involved immigration.

I am of a strong opinion that media is controlled by politicians, the reporters who said they will cover the flower campaign - chances are that their bosses may ask them not to or give them another assignment ???

Most of the state colleges, (In my case, none of the state colleges), including under-grad and medical schools, will accept application, if you do not have GC/ US citizenship. I tried, wrote letters, but of no use.
You can apply and get admission in private college, which of course cost much more.
Also, we were not able to take any federal loans.

You may like to talk to the admissions office of the universities. Last year when my daughter was applying for college, we had to go around and talk to them. Took an appointment and explained the case.
We had asked only about admissions, resigned to the idea of paying out-of-state tuition. However, this counsellor got in touch with me, once the admission was confirmed, and suggested that I go to the bursar's office for tuition issues. And, there we got the great news that they had changed the rules in 2007, and that AOS candidates qualified for in-state tuition. Later we were able to get the same benefit for my elder daughter who was a senior in another state college.
Imagine the relief of having to pay in-state after coughing up out-of-state tuition for three years. This happened in Georgia.
So, to cut a long story short, yes you can be treated as in-state students for admission and tuition purposes. It only needs you to do some research and interacting with the offices. And of course, meeting some good persons. Incidentally, most of the counselors are great.

:rolleyes:

Went for DL renewal , nothing asked literally, extended for 6 yrs.

Got to find some positive out of living :p

Hi, I live in Colorado Springs, let me know if i can do anything

Hi,
I am talking to different lawyers for using AC21 - new position title and functions are almost similar with similar salaries in the same region, old employer might revoke the approved I140 but 180 days are over and I140 is approved - couple lawyers mentioned that the case is straight forward but still mentioned that they are not going to take the case because they decided not to do AC21 in many cases. Reason they mentioned is that underlying I485 is not filed by them and if its rejected for any reason there is a chance of mal-practise suit against them. The fact that they didnt do anything after taking the case might work against them. Their current insurance against mal-practise is not enough to cover these types of instances. I found the argument a bit weird but wondering if anyone else heard same - I heard this from 2 of the 3 lawyers I called locally.

kishdam,

Logically thinking, first thing 485 is your petition.
you are giving them the right to act on your behalf.
There is nothing that an employer has provided except the offer letter.
Now you are using new employers offer letter, how in the world would an old employer sue this attorney. This is your petition and not employers petition.

Scenario:
What if you use G28 representing your self and send a AC21 letter.
Latter (God forbidden this does not happen to any one) but you get RFE, then you choose attorney. You explain that you are represting your self and now need attorneys help. Now who is going to sue this attorney.

This is all B*** S**t to make money or to fear people. I know people who have used G28 representing them selves and got GC. my self I am using a attorney, coz he did not charge more and he said in case you are not satisfied you can always use different lawyer. And all that he has charged is $500.00 and if he is not up to the mark then I would find a differnet attorney. $500 is not a huge sum.

So, good luck and find a better attorney.

Thanks so much man! Actually I was all set for Sept 13 but have a work appointment on Sept 18, yet I am even thinking of cancelling that to attend. I don't care how expensive it is. This is historic, just like Martin Luther King's Civil Rights movement! We can make history! It's an investment in our future!

You voted earlier as a sponsor at
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12441

It seems you contributed to the common IV fund since you didn't hear from us in time on that thread. Sorry to hear that!

If you are willing to help with even $50 more, it is more than welcome at this time, as there are people waiting for 50% airfare sponsorships and there aren't enough sponsors.
Please consider.
Anyways, thanks for all your support for the rally!

Ok, I've seen a lot of threads about go to the rally, actions items, I've reading a lot of guys saying dont ask for your receipt status, dont waste your time etc, etc.

Yes we did the rally we were great with all those signs, and appearing in the Indy TV but...

Question remains open:

1. When are they going to increase the GC quota?
2. When congress id going to do something?

I've the feeling that that's it we made our point but we are still with no GC, waiting receipts..............



sorry i have to ask you this question, (after seeing your post), did you attend the rally??

Friends,

Good luck fplks. Proc times is not accurate after all!

You have nailed it! And it is most prevalent not at the big schools, but rather unnamed "teaching" schools. Absolutely rotten students join M.S. of these universities in hordes, and don't care/able to study. Works in gas pumps and grocery stores to pay for their bills/tuitions, in violation of F-1 regulations. And then get "H1-b" through these body-shoppers.

At the risk of repeating myself, I will say again: just one regulation preventing software consultancies (read: body-shoppers) will remove almost all woes against H1-B program and have a very positive effect on the GC queue in the next decade.

agree with you, need to get rid of those body-shoppers and things will get more pleasant, infact if any new h1b bills passes (one or the other will have to pass), it will have provisions on it to get rid of body-shoppers/consultants

I thought there was a bill along these lines last year, do not remember the name or number of the bill though. I would very much welcome such a bill though.

Guys, Thank you all for the support. I have responded with the same kindness.

And for those who gave reds, I always thought in spite of the gloominess, we still want to ponder at what the new bulletin has is in store. Anyways, thanks to you all too. Have now learnt that discussing future VBs has become a Taboo.

There's always two sides of a coin. Don't think much about people who gave you red but there were also people who gave you green. And in this forum red and green means nothing.

It's just that some frustrated souls gives you RED and some relaxed souls give you GREEN.

There were some frustrated souls out there who gives you RED for everything, who doesn't add any value to this forum.

And I bet even I would get for this comment.

Take it easy.

don't you think they will face problems in 140 if their education doesn't match that in labour... its not as easy as you told..
jumping the line part i understood. but the first part of your quote is not true...

You are right, they will face problems in 140 and they do.But you know what, thats why we have lawyers & education eval agencies , if you pay them they can make any degree or exp look like , anything else.
I know a guy who had BSC & got a sub labour , he had got many RFEs in his 140 , I don't know what happend in the end , but what I feel is, some of them can still trick the system.

Guys,

I am also in somewhat same situation. So thought of sharing it in this thread.
I am also single and filed 485 in July 485. My PD is Dec 2006 under eb2. At present the EB2 dates are June 2006. I am carefuly waching the dates every month to pull back my application if my Eb2 dates becomes current to my PD date.

But this question often hunts me...

1. If USCICS apprvoes my 485 by mistake while my PD date is not current, can I let them know about it and get the 485 approval cancelled or is it irreversibale...??

2. HOw long does it take to notify USICS to withdraw my 485...??

Thanks in advance..

sent fax #10

I've been a consultant for 5 years now, worked for 5 different clients, and was without work for just 4 days so far. If consulting companies are banned, it means that I will steal the job of one of you permanent employees.

People do hire me as a contractor and pay me big bucks for a reason. The only way I can choose what I want to do when I am still on H1b, is to work for a consulting company.

I know a lot of mediocre people, afraid of not being able to find the next contract, end up in a boring permanent job. May be they like it too.

Don't get offended. You need to see the other angles too. I showed you one.

On an unrelated note, my explorer dies on IV's new (since yesterday) home page. Some other explorer's work fine. How can I fix it? Thanks!
