This is an interesting article. My younger brother works for Wipro in India. He has a H1 Visa and work permit for U.K. He highly prefers London to US for several reasons. Firstly, he saves more money there (it used to be other way round a while back). Secondly, if he gets married, she won't be stuck at home for lack of visa... Currently he is here in US temporarily but when he goes back to India, he is going to ask for a longterm project in UK. Certainly doesn't want to come here on a longterm project. More importantly he doesn't want to settle permanently anywhere except in India.

I feel bad for getting stuck in this country. My wife is a doctor and her prospects anywhere except in US are very dim. But if I would have been married to an IT girl, I would have strongly persued oppurtunities else where. World is big and for IT folks oppurtunities are abundant everywhere...

Hello, I am trying to get all the sponsor documents together for my parents visitor visa stamping. I am having some problems getting a bank account verification letter. I have a checking account with a bank in Indiana (I used to stay there 2 years back) which I still use regularly. Most of my transactions are performed by internet banking and my pay checks are deposited directly into this bank account by my company. I have requested them to send a verification letter for which they replied in negative as they can do that if only I can be present in person and not over the phone. My current account balance in this account is around $12,000 and I have bank statements for each month going back to Feb' 2007. Can someone let me know hpw to deal with this situation ( I would really hate to drive/fly 700 miles to just get a bank letter).

I also have a problem with other bank deposit I have. It is a exclusively online HSBC savings account and I have $12,000 in this account with statements going back to July 2007. I could not get proper answer from customer service for my request to give me a account verification letter and I am not sure how to deal with this situation either.

Can someone please help me. Is account verification letter from the bank manager a must as mentioned on i-134? Wouldn't the bank statements suffice?

Now I am working for a company in OPT .
have 24 days GAP.
How can I do to solve it ?

Thanks yganreddy for your input. It might help.

In my case, the X Ray shows nothing - so I am all clear on that.

My concern is I don't how big the thing became after the test was done (twice). Once in 1997 when I first came from India and next in 1998 (when i worked in NY Preysbeterian Hosptal and they mandatorily tested for TB via skin test). I have asked for the reports from NY hospital and am hoping that it is less than 10 mm as the civil surgeon says that if the size is bigger than 10 mm, I will have to go through the treatment for TB (even though i have no evidence of active TB). I hope he is wrong.

I had another question. Can I get the reports from India, when i got the TB test done? I might have the papers at home and will have to search for it or does USCIS not consider the papers from India? I hear a sealed envelope is what is needed from a doctor. In that case, we might be able to try to get in touch with the doctor that did the test and ask for a sealed envelope (showing him the papers he gave us when we got the test done).


EB3June03,

Its upto the doctor's discretion to accept an old TB skin test(PPD), my doctor did not consider the old test results, she recommended taking a new PPD test as the test is a snapshot test which indicates the state as of the time of the test and you might be infected with TB since the last test.

Also, there is a new test as mentioned earlier called Quantiferone-Gold test (QFT-G) which provides better test of TB. However, this test is NOT certified by USCIS.

Just for clearing the doubt, you can take QFT_G test, if QFT-G result is +ve then you need to undergo treatment, if x-ray is clean and QFT result �ve you are clear of TB. My QFT-G came back as �ve and clean X-ray, however my 693 form was marked �Class B Latent� due to PPD result > 10mm, I am not taking treatment due to �ve QFT but keeping all the paperwork to respond in case of future RFE.

Every guy thinks that his/her problem is always the biggest bottleneck

Eliminating FBI delays will restore FIFO and stop such visa bulletin fiascos.

It will not solve retrogression which is a bigger problem, but requires congressional action for number increases

it will look like the WaMu ad. buncha ppl in suits behind a baricade.

Wow!! Thats great guys...way to go!!

Visa stamping is not necessary to remain in the US so wondering why a CPA would consider this a necessary work expense.

Thats correct.

Every one can interpret them to their own way and can decide whether its deductible or not. Any thing related to business expenses, if IRS were to question the tax payer, IRS will ask for written substantiation from the employer. Guess what happens! The same CPA who told all these rosy stories and got a decent percentage on your fattest return simply tells you to get that letter. With out all that documentation, I doubt they will fight the audit.

One of my friend got into same issue last week for his new license. He got a letter from DMV after a week, saying every thing is ok. I don't know whether problem is with DMV or USCIS, but they are not able to verify some information immediately.

YOu should be receiving communication soon.

I went to PennDOT to renew my PA Driver license and they took all my pepers. Offcer informed me that he cannot get verification for my Immigration status so he can not renew my License.
They gave me a printed peper which says we will informed you by letter within 21 dyas.

Anyone has proble to renew Lic. in PA.

I am not sure why you think Sensenbrenner will be receptive to the problems of legal immigrants. Here's a summary of the legal immigration clauses he put in HR4437 - they are not there by accident:

http://www.immigrationforum.org/documents/PolicyWire/Legislation/SenseKingGlance.pdf

Make it harder for legal permanent residents to become citizens. Legal immigrants who have waited
patiently for the chance to become U.S. citizens may have their dreams dashed by this bill. It would:
� Allow government bureaucrats to deny citizenship to any legal permanent resident on a whim;
� Permit the government to keep the reason for that denial a secret;
� Eliminate a judge�s power to override a mistake DHS made in denying citizenship; and
� Change the rules of the game so that long-time legal permanent residents can be barred from citizenship
and deported, even if they were never convicted of a crime or it was a minor offense from decades ago.

As stated earlier go for your own lawyer.


New employer has Fragomen and I heard there is lot of negative air about their procedures on PERM. Current employer legal firm is Baker McKenzie.

I am kind of reluctant to have Fragomen as my attorney representation

you have a expired I-94 and a h1B which is valid

How can you have an expired I94 and valid H1B? It is technically not possible.

When your H1B expires when you are in the US and you apply for an extension of the H1B along with an extension of the stay of the person(s) since they now hold this status, you get a I797 where the right bottom part is your NEW I94. You are supposed to staple this to the old I94 in your passport and surrender the same when you fly out of the country to a non contiguous territory

That is how you were able to travel!!!!!!!

As for Automatic revalidation here is the link to the State Dept site:

I was in the same situation as you when I applied. In general, there should not be a problem with MS+0.

Another alternative is to show the experience gained at your current employer in your application. For that to happen, you should've been promoted to a position in which ur exprience is 50% same as your old position, then you can get an affidavit from your manager stating this fact.
This is what we had done for my traditional labor. I believe it still holds true for PERM, suggest you talk to the company's lawyer.

I am in great need of some suggestions. I hold a MS degree in computer science and graduate in 2004 dec. Since then I have been with the same employer.

Now that he is filing for my LC. Is it difficult to get through with MS+0yrs of expereince ?

Also, at this point of time i have found other employers who is willing to do my GC in which case I will have MS+2 yrs of expereince.

Is it worth changing employer for gaining 2 yrs of expereince for my LC.

Does this really make my case more stronger ? or I am just OVER REACTING ? and doing unneccessary thing

DOES THE EXPEREINCE with MS makes it better for EB2 ?

Please let me know if there are some experts out there

is a TB skin test neccessary even if you tell the doc you've had a history of positive TB tests? do i have to prove i've had a history of postive TB test for the doctor to remark that on i-693..or can he just remark that without evidence and go on my word

thanks


Your chest xray was negative so you are fine.
To file for the 485 the skin test is a requirement. The doc has to prick you on your arm and in 48 hours you have the results.

You need him to sign off on the results.

enjoy food.. best place to enjoy all sorts of food in US

I'll be there. 9 CST works fine for me.

Why would you marry in such haste & go through the trauma of not know whats going to happen i he goes to jail for the next 18 months?? why not wait until his jail issue is over ?? I am no one to judge you & mean no harm but have u thought this through ????

yes.... i did alot and he is my first everything... i am 21 and i am old style.. i can wait for my love... time doesn't matter. well in the end everybody is just looking for the same thing love...and difficulty everybody have and different ways,
i love him.. if you cant wait for your love than you do not love him, true love knows no boundaries. what if he was going to iraq for 18 months is that any different than prison. if he has a disease are you going to leave him to avoid pain or deal with it like an adult and accept how harsh reality is.

im not mad about your question im just explaining how i think.

Just sent the details on email.

Can anyone help with advice? Talk about frustration! I qualify for EB2 since I have a masters degree (and also more than 5 years of experience in my field). I could qualify for EB2 except that my job description "prefers" (rather than "requires") a masters degree. The language prevents my compay from filing EB2, yet my job responsibilities are such that they certaily warrant a masters degree. My compay doesn't want to change my position or wording even though they clearly know (through my explanations) that that means adding close to 5-6 years to the wait! They also fail to see that making me wait so long also affects them because the company cannot promote me or chage my responsibilities for the duration of the wait! Has anyone been through the same situation?

They get a well qualified employee at a lower salary for a longer period of time. If they don't listen try to find an employer that could file u at EB-2.

This and the new rumor that two senators were influencing USCIS clearly implies that the whole mess is a result of the CIR bill.

I can recall watching c-span a few days before the july bulletin came out. He said something on these lines "If we have 400-500,000 legal immigrants in the backlog for the past 4-5 years, how do you think we will able to provide GC to 11 million illegal immigrants?"

A few days after this, the July visa bulletin is released. CIR dies on June 26th or 27th and the two senators(whoever they are) influenced USCIS to "use up" all the numbers. THe more you read into this mess, it becomes clear that CIR was the root cause for the roller coaster ride of emotions.

This stuff is not a revelation but it confirms our suspicion all along that this was a political drama. I dont think this had anything to do with the fee increase.

I hope 60 minutes covers this scandal. If anyone has contacted 60 minutes, can you please let us know their email address?
