The first step you should get your employer to do is to file a job order in the state job bank or americas job bank. You have to keep this ad for 30 days and then wait another 30 days to file PERM. This is the longest time. All other forms of recruitment needs to wait only 30 days and you can file PERM on the 31st day. There is no mention of working days or weekends, it is 30 continuous days. As you know in addition to this job bank order, and two Sunday newspaper ads, there has to be three other forms of recruitment before you can file PERM. If your employer and lawyer are really proactive it will only take 60 days to file PERM from start to finish. You also have to get a prevailing wage determination and post it at your job site for 10 days not including holidays and weekends. Hope this helps. Please contribute and incrase the membership of IV for the good of all of us.

after the jobs ads and waiting period (30 + 30 days) how long does it take for the perm approval to come thru. Can anyone who got their labour in perm update the complete sequence of process from start to end?? I appreciate their time in advance.

Sure I would. But I wanted to know if any one had any such experience.


i know some ppl who have done a variant of what you asked..

most companies either want to hire contractors or outsource work so your statement "about real jobs for real employers" is not correct. The people working as contractors are infact working on real jobs for real US employers. Not many companies are willing to hire people on H1 on a full time basis because of all the costs associated with the H1 processing not to mention the paper work. They want to contract employees in general and not give full time jobs. If desi bodyshops are punished this way, then all of us will also be punished. and thats exactly what Ron hira wants.

This would actually be a good idea. Then there would be more Visas available. Especially people with US Degrees. Most people with US degrees dont need to work for this fraudulent consulting firms. They are able to find real jobs with real US employers.

Each Passport is unique and will have different number each time they issue.. Just staple all your passports together and carry with you for travel.

Hi Guyz,
I just realized that the newly renewed passport has a different number than the original one. It is by choice or by chance ?

Thanks

Great work everyone. We now have 7,599 members. 2001 more members needed by Dec 31. If everyone can get at least one member in IV we can easily cross this target.

It is also a reminder to everyone to contribute. In the past 2 days there have been no contributions. In this whole month, less than 15 people have contributed. only 2 people contributed $200 and some $100 and everyone else less than $100. With this you can imagine how much contributions we get. This holiday season, all make sure to contribute some amount to IV. This money will work for you.

Looks like we have had over 3000 views on this thread, and about 7 ppl have signed up with Team IV thus far, not a bad start for the first two days, but we really need IVians to come together for this initiative.

Sanhari, I am with you on this.
Please let me know the best way to contact our local congressmen and I am willing to support this effort.
I think it's fair that people waiting from 2002 get their GC's first. I mean they have been waiting for an unreasonable amount of time. At the same time all EB's should wake up and do this.
What should we do to spread this message ?

I am writing to the local congressmen, to request USCIS to apply the spillover visas to EB cases with older priority date first (irrespective of it's category or country). I hope this will help, if lot of these local congressmen/women contact USCIS to handle this spillover in a fair manner, allocating to older priority date cases first irrespective of category or country. All EB3 folks please take some time and do the same writing to your congressmen about this issue.

Please use proper language 'money helper'
You think you can make people who are not even aware of 'day trading' the greatest financial experts, by your 'blogs' (where are they?)
I don't want your 'cake', for that matter anybody's. You eat well (and have stomach problems). Why bother to educate this nonsense here.
I asked because when you try people to this trap, you should have the basic decency to tell atleast how much you lost!
if people are interested in financial investments and if they have enough knowledge, surely they won't come here to read your crap. Anyway those who become educated reading things here are destined to lose.


Dude relax.......
Do you want me to read out my balance sheets to you ....why dont I also tell you about all prescription meds I take along with those of my neighbors.

Do you think this is some kind of chit fund Scam here. Youve gotta rise above that now.

No one is forcing anyone to read any blogs or posts.

READ my first post .......I do this cause I feel good about it ..you dont need to go all ballistic ......

Why are some of us so irritated and ready to blow....Channelize this energy into some thing good...Go build a tree house or something

I am not here to say use my method I am here to say "HEY check this out It works "

Well Now I traded last month with about 30% realized profit .... Realized means I took it out of the brokerage account so Now I have taxes on it

If you keep your earning in the brokerage for a year or more you get to pay less taxes .

No I will not make, bake and serve cake for you mr redgreen . YOU need to get your lazy ass up and make it. I will show you how it can be made .

U make u Eat

For filing I 485 I know you need to submit birth certificate and marriage certificate. Do both of these have to be originals or copies are fine ?

Thanks

Only copies are required.

I keep seeing the term 'LUD' and 'soft LUD'. What are they? Where do you notice them?

Soft LUD - Only the date for the Last Update Date changes but the actual status and the message do not change.

Hard LUD - Not only the date changes, but both the status and message change as well.

The San Francisco 5K event is Aug 17, 2008 and as an added bonus, the registration fee for this event is included in your Team IV Membership Fee (if you sign up before July 15, 2008)!!

Please help support IV's fundraising project, and get the added bonus of leading a healthier lifestyle.

There are many queries on this forum asking the same question ?

When should H4 be changed when planning to quit job on H1 ? What is the status of a person after quitting the job and before the H4 approval comes ?
What can a person do/not do after filing to before approval ?

Can a person study in a full time course ?
Can a person receive money for salary earned during the H1 job ?
Can a person travel outside the US ?

Any takers.

Let us focus on advocacy event for the next few days on the forum.

Some distracting threads would be deleted by moderators in the interest of staying focused on advocacy day work. There is a lot of work to be done. We are still short on our funding goal. I urge everyone to help us out .


Please fill the form ImmigrationVoice.org - Advocacy Update (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=80&Itemid=36) and let us know your schedule asap. If someone has not made up their mind to come, please book the tickets now. If you have not yet contributed, please contribute now.

I had posted my response to this idea before on this thread. So you know IV's position. For something like this you need to get several Greencard holder members involved and approach it very differently. You started the thread on 04-07-2008 but see nothing happens until someone starts working beyond starting a thread. There are many threads that come up on websites with new ideas and everyone comments on them. But if nobody is willing to work everyday on his idea, spend their own money on it , take time off several times in a year to travel and meet lawmakers, prepare documents and presentations for your idea to distribute ad go with in meetings, organize conference calls between group every weekend and sometimes every other week day, talk to various people during your own office hours and between your personal and professional life, it is simply not possible to work on an idea. Unless there is any sacrifice there is no chance of any gain in pursuing any idea, however brilliant it maybe. These ideas get buried in threads on the forums if they are not pursued sincerely.

Below is a very good article from the "Economic Policy Institute " that highlights the fact that 2 well known Indian firms have single handedly lapped up 65% of H1B visas last year and have applied for just 69 green cards . Thats a GC application rate of 0.0004%. i Cannot help agree with the facts in this article. I totally agree that firms like these which abuse the system ought to be severely punished and blacklisted, so that geniunine US companies can get their required workers , when they need them . The link is as below.
http://www.sharedprosperity.org/bp187.html

Why is this wrong? These companies are using the H1B just as it was intended to be used - as a temporary work visa. If anybody is contravening the purpose of the H1B, it is all those companies hiring workers on H1B for permanent jobs by pretending that they are temporary workers and then filing for a green card for the worker.

I think BPC and new case PERM is same, if it is same position then employer has to withdraw the first case as of DOL new FAQ, if it different position then shouldn't have to withdraw the case, possibly audited by the DOL as of above explained rule..... If the case is audited how long it usually take DOL to decide,

For 2nd Case should we file by mail, providing certain reason with the application?

I am happy that many of our high skilled community has understood my idea and supporting this thread. Yes definitely Core IV needs to look into this. You can also include your valid points so that core IV team can consolidate and research on this.

IV or other organization

can propose

ANY one who has PAID US FEDERAL TAXES for Five Years ( Irrespective of their visa categories) and HAS MASTER OR HIGHER DEGREE IN THE STEM FIELDS, Should get their GC in THREE YRS after Getting their Greencard.

( Similar to marriage to citizen)

Even illigal immigrants has more optimism,
And they actually believe themselves they have every right to become a permanant citizens than legal immigrants waiting in line.

Some folks can't even bear the thought if some one thinks they should try to influence the law makers.
