Hi,

I have a appointment for H1B Visa stamping at Matamoros on May 27th. Just checking to see if anybody went for H1B Visa stamping at Matamoros lately and would like to share the experiences.

Thanks.

Thanks wellwishergc,
I need to clarify one thing though, my I-140 (which will be applied soon) is not pending for more than 365 days. Am I still eligible to file for 7th year?

Other thing is I also have a LC pending in PBEC (AD March 2005), but I am not with that employer and do not have any document/case number for that LC. Chances of getting these the that employer are bleak.

What is it anyway?

That's what one feels like

Yes I was called for an in person interview and after the interview was told that the case is approvable. All the checks have been done and I just need a visa # to get the GC. I do not know how and why I was called for interview but I was the amonst the day 1 filer in July 2007. My application had reached on Jul 2 2007.


Here is the answer! Your filing date was July2, 07. If you filed with NSC, in Feb they had moved their processing dates to July 18th. So your case was assigned to officer for review and he called for interview!.

Then he made a decision: Case approvable pending visa availability!

Hope that helps!

I am in Houston and if you plan to organize a rally, I am in.

I believe by the end of this fiasco, Emilio Gonzalez will resign. This will definitely get more attention and lead to more reforms in EB category.

Guys, its plain and simple. Without techies and scientists like us, they know, that US cannot be world's technological superpower. Period.

On H1B it is illegal for employer to enforce bond:

Please read employees rights in DOL page:

Employment Law Guide - Workers in Professional and Specialty Occupations (H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 Visas) (http://www.dol.gov/compliance/guide/h1b.htm)

Employee Rights
H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 workers are granted a number of rights. The employer must give the worker a copy of the LCA. The employer must pay the worker at least the same wage rate as paid to other employees with similar experience and qualifications or the local prevailing wage for the occupation in the area of employment, whichever is higher. The employer must pay for non-productive time caused by the employer or by the worker's lack of a license or permit. The employer must offer the worker fringe benefits on the same basis as its other employees. Also, the employer may not require the worker to pay a penalty for leaving employment prior to any agreed date. However, this restriction does not preclude the employer from seeking "liquidated damages" pursuant to relevant state law. Liquidated damages are generally estimates stated in a contract of the anticipated damages to the employer caused by the worker's breach of contract.

I am not sure if my previous employer will support, even i am not sure if they have sent a I-140 cancellation request to USCIS.

Can i file 485 through my current employer based on previously approved I-140 as my current I-140 has priority date recapture request.

If your former employer will not support your GC application and you are not even sure if they already cancelled your 140, then you CANNOT file 485 based on that 140.

As chennai already advised you may have your 140 premium processed.

However, reading back your origiinal post I don't think you can file 485 until your new 140 is approved since you are porting PD. So your PD must be ported to the new 140 successfully and the PD current before you can submit 485. Sorry for the initial confusion.

Hi all,

I have received my EAD in oct 07 and my AP last month, with my spouse being primary applicant. Currently I am on h1b, however, I have a better offer at hand thro another employer who does not sponsor h1b. I was searching for posts on comparing h1b vs ead..but could not locate one.

Could someone enlighten me on this issue as to what wld be common issues that are raised if one switches to ead (other than the possibility of being out of status). I am presuming that if my spouse stays on h1b I can switch to h4 status if required?

Please advice..I need to make a decision this weekend!!

Thanks

Don't do it. Its a trick!!! You will be run over by really big airplanes!! I mean really big!


there is a huge run way... Try to make use of it.

Doesn't matter. MS+0 works just fine. (My EB-2 was MS+0).

If you've been working for this company for past 2 years and now they are going to file your GC... and you've no prior experience.. you can mention in your employment letter that you've been working since 2 years and could attach an experience letter from them to highlight the fact.. This is definitely doable and lawyer should have correct format to do this...

thanks guys! I appreciate your feedback.... I agree that this may not be the best time to change jobs....But, will still like to see if there is something available. I agree that chicago is a gr8 city but have family reasons to move to Atlanta.....

By talking to various folks, looks like IT market is really soft or bad. Do you guys concur? Also, no new projects are being launches and companies are still cutting down on IT projects and employees... Thoughts!

Any thoughts

I have a masters in Electrical engineering. And my job duties is system administration or say system analyst.

Chapter 2: Skills for the U.S. Workforce.

covers great deal of importance of H1B and Green Card. May be we can consider it to be part of our presentation.

I heard yes. 20 employees were laid off on 13th Jan

Guys,
I have approved EB3 LC and approved I 140 with PD JAN 2002. My wife has approved EB2 LC (Perm) and Approved I 140 with PD JAN 2006
As we represent one family can't my wife use my PD and apply I 485 under EB2.
for example If husband is born in a retrogressed country and wife in a non retrogressed country in that case, husband gets a free ride !
Why not in this case ? Just curious !

If your wife is from nonretrogress country which allow her to submit I485 it will be better for you to go with her case (don't have to worry about PD) since it will be current for EB2.

Once she get her greencard approved you will automatically get yours as well.

but as always this is just my opinion everything has still need to be consult with your lawyer.

what you mean by qualified people? Are you expecting a dynamic person with master degree or above with more than 5 years
but less than 10 years and those willing to work 16 hours a day and ready to relocate any time and for the QA analyst
position with the pay range of 30 to 40K? Then you will never get except some unemployed H1bs. I am seeing so
many unemployed Citizens/GCs/EAD and existing H1bs are available in USA. The slow movement of H1b cap shows that


That's correct.
There are many unemployed, but there are not many qualified willing people available.
Trying hard to recruit IT people for a month. Hardly finding any.
