Sure - this forum is filled with apps pending Labor.

EB2 RIR July 2004

The backlog centers have 10 fed govt employees and 100 guys from Exceed unless I am egregiously mistaken.

Why does any one think that those 100 guys will be left out with out any jobs? Wont the 10 fed guys be moved to Chicago/Atlanta NPC's with huge reloc benefits package? If they dont choose to move because of personal reasons, Do you know what kind of severance packages they get?

100 guys from Exceed will be definitely working for other fed agencies after they are done with this gig. IRS has a huge base in Philly and Exceed is a govt contractor. May be IT consultants need to learn from these folks..

"How NOT to get the work done in 5 years?"

B T W Does these places have any guys who are struck with their labor?

Many Congratulations!

I am sure someone from NJ has already contacted this person?

My H4 spouse left the country for vacation on May 25 (before h4 expiry)
Attorney filed 7th year ext and I 539 on Jun14.
My 6th year of H1 ended on Jun 17.

The attorney was not reachable by HR or myself. HR calls me today about problem with H4 and the attorney wants to discuss. What the heck ? Do they file I-539 when some one is not in the country ? She and I always maintained proper status. What can be the problem? I am freaking out to get my h1 ext approval asap and bring her back to file 485. Now my head is exploding. Any clues ? I cant bear this suspense.

you dont require to file I 539 since she is out of the country ,so currently she has no status .

I filed my H1 extension and it took 75 days to get it approved. Regular and not premium.

Got 3 yr extension with approved i-140.

If you do premium, you will know the decision in 15 days.

But what if the company doesnot have any more requirement when my GC gets approved. Its takes 4-5 years and conditions may change as per time...?

Any opinion?

You will get your H1B extended pending appeal on PERM.

Thank you! So technically, there is nothing for me to worry at this time? Is this correct? I know I am losing time but my priority is not current...

Guys.Don't make the mistake that I made.

When you do medicals, get a copy for yourself as the doctor would seal the form and give you. Keep a copy for yourself.

I went in to get Physicals done and was charged 580$ for me and my wife.

they normally charge 200$ per person which is quite normal here in NJ/NY.

But they couldn't fine a record for me and had to order blood work and charged me160 for it. Also gave me 25$ flu shot.

On top of all they won't use my insurance for physicals.

SUCKS!!!!

my votes for bat. reflections are my fav :beam:

I am a teacher at an NGO. I am not sure if I understood your question, but hope this helps,,,
First, you have to comply with the state procedures for teacher certification and eligibility. You need the work/H1B visa; the procedure is same as that for all other jobs. The school/orgaization should be ready/willing to sponsor one for a work visa.

sdudeja, nice to meet another teacher on the forum!
hi,

i AM teacher and I am looking for ajob in USA
THANKS

Found my answer:


DialogAddTo.RestoreDirectory = true;

added that line before .showDialog() and it fixed the problem...

When you submit your passport for renewal, they usually give you a receipt with pickup date. This date is anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 weeks.

If you want you can request them to mail your new passport by paying extra $15 for mailing.

If you are going to pickup the passport by person, then you should be there between 4PM-5:15PM. Thats the delivery time.

In DC office you can not pickup anything before 2PM. Remember this

Thanks a lot for the information. Since I had sent my renewal application via courier, I never got any pick up slip. I have paid $15 for mailing service. What I am worried is that even if I drive 5 hours to pick up, if they haven't processed my application (its close to 4 weeks now since I have applied), I will run out of options. On the website they claim that they will process in 5 business days. I must have tried close to 5 different phone numbers multiples times for past week or so. I have also emailed and faxed my query multiple times. Same result - No response at all. I just don't get how work is done at the embassy.

I changed jobs after 5.5 years on my H1-B. When the new company filed for H1-transfer i got approval for 3 years based on the I-140 from the previous employer. In this case there was no need to apply for extension, while transferring the visa, I got 3 years. Send I-140 and Perm copies along with the H1-Transfer

reply...

Wow,

at first glance it seems 245(i) is kicking in real hard.

Look at EB-3 numbers for Mexico, Phillipines, Pakistan, South Korea, Guatemala, Brazil, Equador, Peru, Poland, El Salvador, Bolivia, Ecquador,

Compare this with H1-B data and you'll see what I mean.

Also EB-1 seems unusually high at ~37,000
EB-1 is even higher than EB-2

isn't that unusual?

When is the Senate meeting and is it scheduled to take up the skil bill this year??...
When can it take it up next year??...

Could you please give some dates???.

I don't want to sound cynical but restate and emphasize what I have shared with the group over past few months. Everytime, around a deadline or around something we think as a cure, we build up hope, hype, leading to hysterical exchanges of postings, name callings, subsequent regrets , pre-mature back-pattings and in the end, enormous amount of disappointment.
I wish we could avoid this over SKIL Bill. The trend which many of us do not want to see is that the bill is just a decoy to satisfy industry-backed hard-currency donor stakeholders. The underlying mood among the majority of the members of Congress is not to seen as someone who gives even an inch **for** immigration. Any member who is seen as supporting openly for immigration on the floor would be a red herring or someone wearing a bull's eye while walking by a shooting range. This is the fact and any amount of new forum topics, name callings, challenging admin members etc. will not change the reality. Anybody familiar with the currents of democratic politics would know to expect no improvements - but only noises- over contentious issues 70 days before a critical nation-wide election. This is true for US of Americal, India or any other democratic country.
Guys, harden yourselves. IF and a big IF, something could happen, it should happen only with the new congress in place. That gives you a timeline starting from late December 2006. Add in a month or two at least for the matter to soak into among the new members, committees reorganized, scope of the issues redefined, proposed bills rewritten based on the current political climate.
I would bet on spring of 2007 and you may start praying that the issue gets settled positively before Thanksgiving of 2007 as after that would be, roughly, the start time for next Big election cycle. Just before you shoot emails criticizing me or my posting, please note that my visa number is retrogressed too and I have no ulterior motives to make this posting.

I know a person who came to US on H4 in feb 2004 applied for H1 in the firt week of April 2005,
her Employer who filed for H1 suggested that she would get her H1 from Jan 1st 2006 , so she can travel to India
on that assurance she left for India on September 15 and came back on Dec 28th and
on Jan 1st when she called employer they mailed her H1 copy and the date of Approval is Oct 1st.


Does this mean H1 is Invalidated as per Last Actions Count Rule.

She has been working on H1 since then (not regularly though)
and did not file for H4 extension assuming her H1 is valid. H4 expired on Aril 2006

Has any one gone through the same situation.

Whats her Status as of now, If her husband is applying for 485 what do you guys suggest put on I94 what should her action from now on.


One lawyer suggests she should apply for 485 and and if they raise query come with some answer at that time.

another one says she should file for H4 and quit working.

She is totally clueless please help.

I came to USA on L1A through company A in February,2008 and working on L1 A till date.My I-94 is valid till feb,2011.

I filed H1B through company B in April,2007 in India and got approved petition in August,2007. That approved petiton is with my company B in USA.I have not gone for H1 B stamping.

Now I want to switch to H1 B in USA.I was told by my friends that,I can work on H1 B with my approved H1 petition.and I need not to go for H1B stamping.
I need to get visa stamped only if I goto India and to come back USA.

Can I work directly on my H1B petition with out stamping visa?

Incase, stamping is required, Shall I go to canada/Mexico for H1 B visa stamping.

Can I come back to USA with my L1 visa from canada/Mexico incase H1 b visa not issued? or shall I need to go back to India from Canada/mexico it self?


It depends on the type of H-1 approval you have.

1. If it was applied as COS, then it will have an I-94 attached to it. This means on Oct 01, your status will change from L to H and you can no longer work for your L employer.

2. If it was approved as "visa to be issued abroad", then it is not valid until you get a H visa stamped at some Consulate.

EB3_PERA,

Immigration to Canada is the most obvious option in case you want to stay within North America. Being Canadian permanent resident / citizen allows you to run business in the States under certain rules.

Another option is Australia but it is a bit far away and in fact the country is not very much populated - less than 20 mln people. I.e. business is not booming.

Dubai is an excellent option for making money, or at least that was the case 10-15 years ago. Its economy is still booming.

<snip>

yes it will be funny if any of Exceed employee working in backlog center is also affcted by backlog of his labor application there.

If there are any, they must have talked to some one and got it approved by now, because there is no order in approvals any way... :)
