Friend,

I did google search to find email address ends with @dol.gov and did mass emailing to all of them and finally they started invetigation on my previous employer and he is now behind federal bar.

I haven't come here for a while and don't know what's happening here. Several weeks ago, we said we would be happy if congresses pass CIR. How come we don't want CIR to be passed now?

Gotta clear backlog Ma' :D

I would also very seriously consider the fact that Canon has undeniably the best select of lenses, and most people (except some Nikon fanatics) would probably also agree that the Canon lenses are optically better than the Nikon equivalents [although there are many factors here, some of which are based on personal experience, some are probably depending on whether you get a "good copy" or "bad copy", etc, etc].
Come on, Mats, this is ridiculous. Canon offers IS in 500 and 600mm lenses, which Nikon doesn't. Since that matters more to the people that need specialty lenses than what Nikon has over Canon (200mm f/2 VR, macro bellows options, etc.), you can have your first claim. But you're only going to get away with a lack of proof for your optical superiority claim since this site has a majority of Canonites. If you have proof for that, I'd love to see it (not that I'm going to switch to Canon anyway), but your statement reeks of the same fanaticism that you label some Nikon users with.

As for the D80, it's a nice upgrade over the D70, though there's no reason to jump now unless you need to make a big purchase of lenses (perhaps some that Pentax doesn't offer) as well. Pentax supposedly has a 10MP DSLR in the pipeline as well, though they probably won't ever achieve the breadth of lens selection that Canon or Nikon have. Of course, if you don't need anything that they don't offer, and never suspect that you will, there's no reason to worry about a "need" to switch systems.

What do you mean by
"Can an attorney force me to file AC-21 even if i dont want to?"

Are you asking if the attorney would file the change of employment letter?

Please clarify your question

I entered US in 2001 on H1B and have not left the country since then. Unfortunately within few months of coming to US, I had a fight with my wife and was charged of domestic violence. This charge was later reduced and I was convicted of a simple battery.
Now if I travel overseas and come back on AP (I intend to use my approved AP instead of going for H1B stamping), can I be denied entry to US at port of entry because of my criminal charge?
Anyone in the same situation or know someone in this situation? Was there any issue in there re entry into US?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Had to crop this one a bit...here's the reaction after hitting the game winning shot shot with 1.7 seconds left to give the Kings the victory.

Sorry for high jacking the thread but I wanted some info on eb2 perm and greencard over all

My qualifications are

Bachelors in engineering - 4 years
Masters in computer science - 2 years in US

Experience of 6 years in software dev

My job requires BS+5 years only , Masters in not a requirement.

Can I file in EB2 ...could you please elaborate your experience in eb2 .
Yes You Can.My 140 is still pending in EB2 category.

Mine is BE-4 Years
7 Years Experience in Indian Branch Office of the current Company + Approx 9 months outside this company.

... there are always idiots in any group.

Good news..But, let us not stop our campaign until we hear something concrete from USCIS.

I also got LUD of 8/12/07 today for my I-140 which was approved in June 2007. My 485 package was sent to NSC on July 20, 2007. No receipts or checks cashed. It could be a general data refresh on some cases that caused the system to record a new LUD. I doubt if it means anything.

The spreadsheet is totally sorted now according to the PD. I had to make one change though. The day of the month of PD was not mentioned and I had to write something to sort it out. I made it 1st of the month for everybody to be able to so sorting. I guess we can live with that abstraction.

Some people are not acting responsibly on the data. I made changes now. I brought the data back and also you will have to login into your gmail account now tobe able to make changes.

My humble request to all please act responsibly.
Do not edit somebody elses data.

Do not sort the data. If you really feel the urge, import it to your local computer and then sort it.
I will sort the data according to PD periodically.

You can add your own row at the end . Also please please do not sort the data.

My company sponsored my EB-3 with PD of Feb 2007 and the I-140 was approved in Feb 2009. Based on the pending I-140, I filed my I-485 (AOS) application in July 2007. My I-485 case is still pending.

In the meantime, my company had been kind enough to agree to re-sponsor me for EB-2 PERM which was filed in Sept 2008 and the related I-140 was approved in July 2009.

Both my pending I-1485 and recently approved EB-2 I-140 share the same A number, while the earlier approved I-140 EB-3 has a different A number.

I wrote a letter to USCIS requesting them to link my recently approved EB-2 I-140 to the pending I-485, in the place of EB-3 I-140 and also port the earlier PD.

Since there is no response for more than 2 months, I called USCIS call center today. The call center person advised me that I cannot make such a porting request unless the Visa Bulletin is current for that PD of EB-2. I was shocked to hear such message. Please advise whether the call center person is correct in her interpretation. Thanks in advance.

According to IRS you are citizen(Any one who stays more that 180 days and pays taxes in us is a citizen according to them). You can apply for student Loan as a citizen if you use this clause intelligently. This is how most students get credit cards. If you say you are on H1 to a credit card company they will never give you the card.

Again this is only my opinion. I might be wrong.:)

not citizen but resident and that does not qualify you permanent resident.

and most companies require a GC holder or citizen to cosponsor.

Also does anyone have any information on revenue thru 'Google Adsense' when on H1b?

There could really be hundreds. Looks like these 3 were working in OP's company. That is why he came to know about them. Usually bodyshops keep quiet if their employees are deported. If a single company got 3 deported, then the total is probably much larger.

OP, can you at least confirm that these 3 were from the same company?

that is not bad thinking that all the stories we heard about hundreds of people who were friends' friend and were deported at EWR.

While I understand for those 3 people it is virtually a nightmare, but it does bring things into perspective.

Okay, I applied for an H1 transfer late June 2006 on my own. Started at new job after receipt. Late August went on maternity leave. Came back to work in December. During maternity leave, my application was sent back due to wrong fee and no LCA (I didn't use a lawyer and was given somewhat bad advice.) By the time I did a re-application for transfer it was April 2007 (with the help of lawyers, this time). My H1 expired (6 years) near the end of June. But I was told I was okay as long as I was pending. Mid-July got a request for evidence with a date of September 20th being the latest date I can send in the evidence...pay stubs, tax returns, etc.

1. Am I currently out of status or okay because of the RFE?
2. If I apply for F-1 status now (thinking of a second Masters or PhD) will I need to send in the evidence for the H1B before that or will that not matter? It will take me a while to get all of the evidence, but I don't have time to wait in regards to getting the F-1 for school this Fall.

My lawyers suggested leaving the country, but I am fearful of that? Any suggestions, answers, advice?

Thanks.

OTOH

I now work for a big IT company. As big as it can get. I had much better luck with my lawyers when I worked for startups.

My lawyer sends each and every piece of information. They sent 9089 for review,797 for labor also. They sent me the original approved labor certificate for my signature to file for 140. and also 797 copy for 140.

Though the employer processes labor and 140, Employee should ensure the accuracy of the information on all the applications. Employer should not deny for this.

These employers that abuse employees need to learn some lessons on how to treat their employees.

I think IV needs to take an inititave on these small scale body shopping employers who are not treating their employers with respect and the dignity they deserve.

Cool, guys. I am probably off to Korea the 2nd week of Nov, and spending thanksgiving in TX, Xmas in AR. Otherwise, I can probably make a weekend meet.

Hello everyone,

Today 17th August, 2007 my I-485 packet was about to reach at Texas Service Center and unfortunately when I track my packet it shows �Notice Left� on USPS site, they mention they will try to deliver on Next business day. When I called at USPS , one lady picked up phone and she told it was PO Box no so we cant deliver. It is available to them to pick up but the man from USCIS might pick it up on early monday morning. Now I am worried does that mean my mailing date is Aug 17th or Aug 20th.

SO now USCIS will accept my application or not ?? Please advise ? Any body has same situation ?


Notice Left, August 17, 2007, 11:38 am, MESQUITE, TX 75185
Arrival at Unit, August 17, 2007, 11:01 am, MESQUITE, TX 75149
Acceptance, August 16, 2007, 10:09 pm, ATLANTA, GA 30320

Hello all,

is it normal for someone to get their EAD approved before the AP. I just got my EAD approved yesterday and my wife got hers approved today. However, out AP applications are not approved yet.

I have some co workers who got their EAD and AP approved on the same day.

so just wondering if there could be something wrong or is this normal.

Our cases are in Texas.

Thanks!

I have been thinking about choosing between EB3 and EB2. I hold a Masters degree from US and have 2 yrs of experience. I am wondering whether to go in EB3 (which is very simple and easy to get with no scrutiny - SURE TO GET APPROVED) and wait for a very long time in the queue OR go for EB2 (which is more difficult and have to pass through all the scrutiny from I-140) and then wait, whose waiting time might be lesser than EB3's


Which one is best to do ? Your suggestions please.

This is a wrong conventional belief. It has been far too many times written about and has now become conventional wisdom, that EB2 or EB1 is determined by the qualification of the employee.

That is only 1 of the 2 things needed to get a case approved under EB2. The other requirement is that the job description and the position must require a person of EB2 qualifications. The position being filled by MS plus 2 years, or BS plus 5 years should be the kind of position that cannot be filled by a lesser qualified employee.

So basically, you can be a Ph.D. from Harvard university with 10 years experience. But if your Greencard is filed for a job that requires someone with BS plus 2 years experience and can be filled by an EB3 candidate, then your case cannot be approved as EB2 even though your qualifications can make you fit for EB2.

Now about the priority dates. See EB2 is right now ahead of EB3. However, the continuation of that is totally dependent on many factors.

1. Future laws. What if EB2 percentages decrease?
2. EB1 spillover. How many EB1s are unused and spill over into EB2.
3. Your chargability, (country of birth), is ofcourse important. India and China EB2 may not be moving ahead this year AT ALL unless there is change in quota.
4. The future applicants for EB2. We dont know about the labor files in backlog centers and how many of those are EB2 and how many are EB3. Of that, how much more crowded would be EB2 or EB3.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to predict which one would be better off. Impossible.
