I have to get the EMP LETTER latest by Friday June 29th from employer.
For that i have to sign the agreement by June 28th Noon time.

Today is June 26th and they are still working on agreement with their lawyers and would probably give me the final agreement tomorrow 27th noon time.

Between 27th Noon and 28th Noon how can i consult a lawyer ??


I meant "whole sentence from the employment agreement". All depends on the wordings. If your agreement is linked to I-485 approval date then there is a way out. Every contract must have well defined terms. Since date for I-485 approval is not known, such contracts are difficult to stand in court of law. However, if it says "the employee must work for 2 years or 6-months after I-485 approval date (whichever is earlier) otherwise he/she will pay all GC related expenses" then the contract is more likely to be enforceable.

All depends on the wordings of the contract.

Please consult a good lawyer BEFORE signing any contract.

Not a legal advice.

By now you should have had your EAD and AP in hand - after FP was done. What was the reason for the delay? Most of these cases got FP notices within 4 weeks of Aug 17th.

Hi all,

I have sent the emails to the 10 + 2 ( State ) Senators and followed up with calls. Hope for the best.

Regards,

I have read many bills in last year and a half. There are a bunch of such bills pending..The problem is that they just stay pending...Unless that gets placed on the senate calender introducing the bill is useless...

if there are more than 200 people then weekend works too, it will get coverage, but otherwise anything in DC must happen beginning of the week. Senators congressmen usually leave town Thursday night. So if the intent is to show tourists or if the intent is to show lawmakers is what we need to decide. If the numbers are high on a weekend, then automatically there will be press coverage. Somebody needs to prepare press statements and so on. It not about convenience more than needs, lets weigh in how many people can we get to participate first, firmly.

FYI - for those approved and waiting for cards in the mail! Here are the details for self, spouse and child - all approved at the same time.

CPO - Email recd on Aug 11 saying CPO on Aug 9.
Aug 12 - Hard LUD saying Welcome Notice Mailed on Aug 12
Aug 13 - Soft LUD
Aug 15 - Hard LUD saying Approval Notice mailed on Aug 14
Aug 18 - Welcome Notice and physical cards received for all of us. No Approval Notice yet! Not sure if I will receive one.

Thanks.

Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding the management of Employment-Based Second Preference Visas. Your opinion is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you about this issue.



The number of unused visas is a concern that plagues our current immigration system. As a result, I believe it is important to reform our immigration system to meet the demands of our global marketplace. You may be pleased to know that I introduced S. 1085, the Reuniting Families Act (RFA), to not only address the issue of family reunification, but also to recapture employment-based visas that haven't been used in past years so that they may be used in future years. This bill also eliminates the current backlogs and long wait times in the family immigration system. Please rest assured that I will keep your views in mind as I continue to address the concerns of employment-based visas in the context of comprehensive immigration reform.



Several Senators including myself are currently working on a comprehensive immigration reform framework that aims to fix all the problems within our current immigration system. I thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, and I appreciate your support. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance. I invite you to visit my website (Robert Menendez - US Senator for New Jersey: Home (http://menendez.senate.gov)) to learn more about how I am standing up for New Jersey families in the United States Senate.

Actually You have to PHYSICALLY present in Canda for 2 years in a 5 year period since the date landed.

Hi Lasantha,

Not that i want to question your input but would greatly appreciate if you could point me to the official ruling or link where i can find this information. I tried to search for this on official canadian immigration web site but could not find one.

Thanks again !!

H1B costs company money to employ, also too many H1B and they become H1B Dependent company. There are many reason that are not racist related so think.

nk2006,

please post contents of that yale article (your link is not working).

On the topic of “getting some of our measures during lame-duck session”, I am seeing some speculation (on other sites) that there is a chance these measures getting discussed during that session. I know these are just educated guesses, but it’s encouraging. see following:
================
From another thread on this site got this link, about Yale/Ivy League grads not getting H1B’s. There is quote from someone who thinks some immigration measures may be approved in Lame-duck session.
http://www.yaledailynews.com/Article...rticleID=33577
The House bill, the Senate bill, or some compromise may be approved during Congress' lame-duck session after the general elections in November, Yale-Loehr said.

=======================
This is from a leading corporate immigration law firm’s web page. They provide headlines and commentary on new regulations. There is some speculation about immigration measures getting discussed during lame-duck session:

The Road From Here:
On a broader scope, key House and Senate members maintain their position that Congress will examine comprehensive immigration reform in the period after the November election and before the start of the next Congress in January 2007, known as the "lame-duck" session. However, many of those involved in the debate over immigration reform question the ability of negotiators to reach an agreement, given the wide ideological gap between the House and Senate with respect to treatment of America's undocumented population.
====================

your comments / speculation / educated guess.......??...

I am starting this new thread to discuss about EB visas spillover usage based on oldest priority date irrespective of category/country. Currently the spillover happens vertically(a top down approach) from EB1 -> EB2 -> EB3...etc. Instead it should be first used on cases with oldest priority date. This will not only give a good move to clear the backlog but will also be a fair rule for those who are patiently waiting in queue for a long time. I wrote my concern about this to my local congressman. I also request each one of you, who is impacted by this, or who is interested to help us out, to kindly contact your local congressman/woman to express your concern. In turn they can contact USCIS to implement this fair rule to help us all out.

I don think this issue concerns you. So , with all due respect, please BACK OFF.
Sunny Surya,

With all due respect let me make a couple of observations here.

1) First you file a lawsuit that prevents fellow Eb3's from porting to Eb2 at a later date, even though those individuals may have advanced in their careers and would be eligible for better jobs.

2) Now that you have successfully broken a united community into two factions, you want the IV core to now further take up the "Eb2 cause" against the USCIS, because YOU cannot file a lawsuit against the USCIS (the 500 pound gorilla) an organization that doesnt give a c**p about the immigrants and even its own internal processing "rule"?

3) Let me ask you, WHY should the IV core help ONLY the Eb2 at this point. You and some other Eb2 members were and are flexing your muscles against the Eb3 members who have been suffering in the EXACT same manner. What exactly have YOU contributed towards uniting the Legal employment based community and what have YOU done to help the Core team so far, that you now ask the core team to specifically take the Eb2 non-sequential processing up with the law-makers?

If you see a problem with the non-sequential processing, why dont YOU write to your own senators/congressmen and ask them to follow up on your individual case?

One more thing, if you are planning on replying back saying that "This is my last post on IV" so be it. IV does not need members who think of just themselves. And yes if you are planning on giving me red/gray/green dots please feel free to do so.

Thanks!

THANKS! I will wait for my turn and hope that my application is right next to you.

GKBest, it takes minimum two days to appear on computer records for the customer care to tell you. My application was entered in system on 10th october but rep could only see it on 12th oct.

any LUD?
My attorney just emailed me, she received receipt notices for 485, EAD and AP for both me and my wife.

My application was received on July 2nd 9:01 AM, if it matters it was signed by R Mickels

I have not seen the notices yet so I dont know what the notice dates are.

All you lucky guys who can file for 485, please contribute to IV.
Thanks.

In spite of all the forum spamming, I have contributed, thank you

And yes, I've sent multiple faxes to every senator.

And yes, I've visited, phoned and emailed multiple senators and congressmen.

And yes, I've sent approximately 700 emails to media outlets nationwide

PLEASE stop spamming the forums

Hi guys,
My first H1B (2003) had LUD on 14th of July...and today there is a LUD on I-140. My I-140 approved in March 2007..PD is March 2005...Is it good indication that they are doing something with my I-485 case? My application reached NSC on july 2nd (not sure about time as my lawyer sent those papers). My I-140 is from TSC.


Today i added my old H1B (2003) case to my portfolio..i saw LUD on it...LUD date is '14th july 2007'...not sure...14th july is saturday...but no surprise...i saw lot of people posted that their LUD was on weekends....Is it good indication? sorry if i am asking unnecessary question..

PD Aug 2004, EB-2 India
I-140/I-485 applied - August 2007 at TSC (non-concurrent)
I-140 approval - March 2008
Spouse 485/AP/EAD applied - August 2008 (received receipt notices)
Self EAD applied - August 2008 (received receipt notices)

Till date I have not received my FP notice. I applied for my EAD (even though I am not planning on using it) hoping to jump start my pending 485 and get the things rolling for FP and processing of 485. Surprisingly, I got my EAD approval email on Aug 17th and I received my EAD card in the mail yesterday. It is valid for 2 years. It says finger prints not available. No change in the pending 485 status.

I am totally perplexed about receiving the EAD without FP and so is my attorney. Can someone give me an idea of what is going on? Any input is appreciated! Thanks much!

1,747 Letters and Emails Sent So Far

:(

Leo,

Just so that we are clear, please note that signing online petitions doesn't mean anything if there is no matching advocacy. Timing of the activity is also very important. In the end, advocacy and grassroots effort must compliment each other at the same time. The website you are referring is an advertisement website. Its not a resource for serious advocacy effort.

The Congress is right now focused on DREAM Act. If we just say "Erase Green card backlog", it will mean nothing. But there is a chance if we send specific targeted message asking to include specific provisions in the bill that appear to be moving (i.e. DREAM Act in this case), and IV is complimenting this message with the advocacy on the ground.

Just sending random email from some online advertisement for profit website does not mean anything. We think that some of these websites are just collecting your Email and Home Address, which they could sell for making profit.

Immigration Voice would like to request its all members not to send out random messages from advertisement websites because such messages are out of sink with reality. Please participate in the well defined and targeted 'Action Items' on IV.

Team IV

Done. It correctly showed the representitive and the senators. But I am not sure it went. Particularly the screen of advacacy to send mail to 6 frineds kept on coming up. If I don't receive confirmations to my account, I will send once again. Or I will call them also.

I am july 3rd filer and Just got the receipt numbers..Looks like our box is not lost and interestingly my numbers start with LIN even though my 140 processed from SRC.
