How there could be demand for visa numbers for EB2 India between the years 2000 & 2002. The possible sources of such visa number demand would be from BEC or LC substitution. Both require filing a new I-140 recently, which most likely would not have been approved yet. Are visa numbers alloted even before I-140 is approved??

Unless there were some real unlucky ones with PD earlier than 2002 that got through 'namecheck' just recently.

Every time why does feel like that I have been in this dilemma before. I think we will gain almost nada frm this bulletin either.

My guess

EB2 : 1000 BC
EB3 : January 1962

07/18/2007: Reinstatement of Original July Visa Bulletin and Uncertain Impact on Pre-July "Tagged" EB-485 Applications and Processing Time of I-485 Applications in the Future

The other EB-485 waiters will turn out to be a big victim to the DOS/USCIS decision yesterday. Since there will be no visa numbers available until October 1, 2007, the people whose EB-485 applications were "not tagged" before July 1 will experience a tremendous delay in obtaining the green card. When it comes to the delays in obtaining the green card approvals, the new filers in July and those filers before August 17 will also witness a tremendous delays and will have to endure a long and long journey to leave the pipeline of the green card process. Why? As we reported quite earlier in this visa fiasco, we even estimated that approximately 750,000 individual EB-485 applications can be poured into the system during this unusual period of visa number availability as affected by the upcoming filing fee increases and more importantantly the anticipated potential huge visa number retrogression ahead during when they may not be able to file their 485 applications because of the retrogression. After all, the system has only 140,000 numbers for the entire EB categories for each year. Go figure! What would look like the waiting time for the current EB-485 filers and the current EB-485 filers before July 1, 2007!
Mr.Oh's opinion is flawed on many counts but most of all assuming what he says is correct, this delay will be/would have been the same either way. i.e the 750000 applicants will apply all at once or at regular intervals. The bright side is that spouses will get their EADs.
Mr.Oh also assumes that USCIS processing procedure and speed will not change.
It sounds like fluff reporting that popular media does. All fluff, no value.:D

Guys please help me with below questions.

Q1:I have switched from H-4 to H-1 starting from Oct 1st, 2007. However, I have not started working yet. Does this invalidate my h-1?
Nope..!!! Unless the employer revoke the H1b it won't be invalidated.
Q2: I am travelling to India very soon and planning to come back using AP obtained thru my husband's GC process. Will there be any problem. What should I tell at port of entry, if they ask about my approved H-1 but not worked on H-1?
Unless you come under the payroll of your H1b employer , POE people won't get to know. If att they ask, just be ready with a good reason.Q3. Do I need to cancel my H-1 before I ago since I am not going for H-1 stamping and also planning to work on EAD once I come back?
[B]Just plan your visit forgetting the fact that you ahve approved H1b. For all purpose you are on h4.

B]
I appreciate your advice

Have a nice trip..!!!

I will like to suggest is, try to talk to them nicely and try to make them understand what they have talked to you before filing GC.

Otherwise u dont have any choice, definitely u cant risk being rude with them. They can still hurt you as they still have all the cards in their hand.

About the G328 form, i have read in other posts that for some companies HR have signed for the applicant.

It seems like every company has their own way of filling GC. I am sure u are not the first one who are filing GC through your company.

I hoep this helps.

Jet airways resumed new service to US recently. That's why you couldn't find many people traveling by Jet airways. I heard the flights are new, service is good and the travel is quite comfortable. I am travelling to chennai from EWR end of november and am looking forward to the trip.

Great to know, now I feel comfortable :)

r u telling me that other company can apply for perm and I dont have to work for them? is it really possible? i always thought that you have be h1 for the company and then only they can apply for your perm. can a company apply for perm without transfering h1?
thanks

4. An apology from USCIS for the delay!!


Dreaming too much...by the way how its going to fix the problem?:D

People on H4 cannot get any sort of tution waiver like F1 guys can get with TA or RA

@vsuri , @prasadn, @eb2_mumbai

AVS channel has an indian program every saturday starting 10am -12.00pm

I am sure many indians watch this.There is also 'free' immigration advise by some lawyers at the end of the program.


If some one has contacts at AVS may be IV could get more coverage.

Thinking out loud..

Franks Red Hot sauce, I put that sh&t on EVERYTHING!

FYI:
I don't know if this is old news but thought of sharing it anyway.

I was in the same boat as many others here i.e, no FP notice even 1yr after filing for 485. With my PD becoming current in Aug 2008, I called my attorney to see if he can do anything to help me out. He told me that due to several complaints from people like us and a law suit threat (or an actual lawsuit, not sure) from AILA, the Texas center has sent has set up an exclusive fax line for such requests. This system came into existence only about 2-3 weeks ago.

He sent a fax on my behalf to that number last Tuesday 7/15/08. My wife and I both received FP notices on Sat 7/19/08! So looks like for a change, something that�s set up for our own good is actually working. Frankly, I hadn�t pinned any hopes on the fax having a positive impact but I was pleasantly surprised. Our appointments are for next week.

Hope this little tip will help others in the same boat if their attorneys are either not aware and/or haven�t told their clients about it.

The fax number is not made available to the general public. Only attorneys have access to it.

BTW: As a result of all this, I haven't seen any LUD changes (soft or hard) on my case status online....I thought that was strange.

What is the fax number?

my company went thru a round of layoffs and the lawyer made me wait for 6 months before filing for labor at that time....but the ad process was in progress during this time..

Can someone go fr 2 jobs after EAD approval( i will use my EAD). Is is required that the job description of these jobs has to be same as filed in the application ? appreciate your help


I think you need seperate EADs for each jobs. 2 jobs means 2 EADs..:confused:

Common, You can do any number of jobs with ONE EAD. If you don't invoke AC 21, then why are you worrying about Job Description???

SDL is rarely used by itself. Just use it for windowing and let OpenGL render (it's much faster). Also you'll notice that SDL can't rotate an image (or it couldn't 2 years ago). There are free OpenGL GUI's like CEGUI if you need one. I'd learn how to get the basic stuff.

Make sure you know the STL completely. This means, std::vector, std::list, and std::map kind of stuff. I'd recommend learning the OOP paradigm since it helps a lot.

http://gpwiki.org/index.php/C_plus_plus:Modern_C_plus_plus:Vectors

Learn how to set up object class with an x and y pos and then create a manager class that allows you to insert them into a list or vector container. Then add maybe a velocity into the object class and see if you can iterate the group of points and move them with their velocities. (by the way I'm describing a particle engine.

Other things to make sure is to use std::string and not char so much.

Templates are good to learn later once you find what they are used for.

I have an offer from a great company as a program manager that involves management and coordination of teams. There will be a little programming involved. This is in the software industry

The labor was filed as software engineer whose description says that this was java focussed intense programming position.

I am EB2, india, dec 2003 with more that 180 days and 140 approved, also have my ead and AP done.

I plan to move on EAD. Would this qualify as "same or similar". The industry is the same and the job is similar (it just shows normal career progression)

what do you think?

I got the 140 denial notice.
The USCIS did not mentioned any reason like my valid labour is expired.Not sure is the denial is because of 180 day rule or not.

Here is the reason...

The petitioner did not submit an individual labour certification for the beneficiary or evidence of schedule A designation.As such, the beneficiary is ineligible for classification as a member of the preofessions holding an advanced degree or an alien of exceptional ability.

Anyone came across this scenario...
