I guess, you can only be with out a job for 180 days while in EAD.

There is hope, but is it possible?

"Finally, there is another stop-gap proposalthat would �reclaim� 300,000 unused H-1B visa numbers as well as 250,000 wasted employment based
immigrant visa numbers and make them available in a floating pool as temporary relief. There has been a great deal of speculation that the House leadership may take the SAVE act and bring it to the floor before enough signatures can be collected to force a vote. The idea is that they would add some or all of these other proposals, or even amnesty itself, to the SAVE act to make it unattractive to the original sponsors�thus killing it.

It is doubtful that anything other than amnesty would kill this legislation.
There is a serious risk for the Democrats in forcing their members to vote
down an amnesty bill. That would undoubtedly alienate one of their core
voter constituencies.

If the SAVE bill passes, the likely result is that support for legal immigration reform will increase substantially. A number of members of Congress have said that they support legal immigration reform, but first want to see new enforcement measures put into place"

quota numbers"

Hi

I have been listening to the Senate proceedings for last few days & I'm very unhappy to say that so far there has been no mention of legal immigrants.None of our issues have been discussed or debated.I was thinking after doing so much of hard work ( especially by the VI team ) & all the contributions,lobbying, we would get some changes done but looks like ..

I'm not being negative here, but its just a thought.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions Fred! I applied a bit more sharpening to the head, I think it's not so OOF looking now. I'll have a go at cloning out the twigs later, it looks a bit difficult but it could be fun trying.

What is the relation between your H1 petition approval and ur hubbyz pay stub i just don't understand. If the query was regarding ur salary which the prospective company is gonna give it would have made sense. But why would ur hubby's salary matter to them for approvin ur H1 is still don't understand.:(

Did you talk to you lawyer about this? if so, what is their take on it..Was the 485 for your spouse filed by your company(employer) lawyer?

I am doing the same this month.

I haven't filed 2006 return yet. does it matter ?

That's not completely true. There are improvements in UCIS processing. If you check H1 or I-140 processing time 2 years back , it was much worse then. I dont think USCIS processing time is a problem for us right now. Of course it would be nice to have faster service for H1 and I-140 or 485.

Abqguy:

I have not seen the letter myself, but from the content, it appears to be a specific reply to your letter. I request you to get a couple of friends together and schedule a meeting with the Senators local office. IV website has lots of resources and if you were to let us know once you have the meeting set up, one of us will get in touch with you and brief you on how to conduct the meeting.

Thank you for your help. Keep us posted.

Is there any law for disabled immigrant. I am 33 years old, and I am disabled, and I am here in US from 1998. I really want to settle down in one place, and it does not matter whether it is India or America but I think I have to make a choice right now, or my future will be a big question mark.
I have waited for a long time, thinking future will be bright, day by day I dont feel I will get my Green Card, So as my lost option I am wondering whether there is any option for disable immigrant? Any help is appreciated.

thanks
I dont think there is any special provision for disabled as far as GC is concerned.
Could you please elaboarte more.
What is your status ?? How far you are in GC process like 140 applied /approved ??

'Saw Fareed Zakaria mention the topic in GPS on Sunday.
Matt Frei questioned Eric Schmidt in BBC world news America yesterday. he responded it being one of the most stupid laws this country has ever had.

Smart ones are picking up - hopefully things will change over time.

i do not see a picture.

Yes. There are people who never had H1 ever from cos, and still got their GC.

yes, I was talking about H1b stamping! Thanks for your reply. That means I need to e-mail them to get an interview slot for my H1b stamping. I don't see any available slots from VFS website for December.
Thanks once again!

what is the LUD date for all 3 of you, is it the same.

Give me a green dot if you can.

Probably they've separate pdf for EB appointments or following USCIS bi-specialization strategy :-) Good find anyways...

Hello everyone:

I got my first H1-b on May 2007 (receipt data April 28, 2007 and notice data May 10, 2007) with company A. I transferred the H1-b to company B and got approved on December 2007. Company A revoked the H1-b and but got REF for additional evidence.

Company A is supposed to receive the approval notice of the H1-b revocation. However, strangely, days ago, company A received the I-797A approval notice (receive data April 28, 2007 and notice data March 26, 2008) from USCIS, which has the same receipt number as the one approved on May, 2007 except that the notice date is changed to March 26, 2008.

I have a big concern that according to the rule of �last status count�, does the H1-b with company A will replace the H1-b with company B (I am currently working in company B with H1-b)? What is my status now? Can I keep the two H1-bs at the same time or I have to cancel the H1-b with company A again?

Thanks!

IMO there is a good chance you will qualify for EB2. When doing educational evaluation, you should base your claim on your masters degree. That way you would qualify.

The worst part is in justifying an EB2 case. As the job market is very bad and many US citizens with the required qualification for the position are available, it will be very difficult for the company to justify that no one in this country is available except you for this position. Lot of big companies are afraid as there is a strict AUDIT that will be enforeced by USCIS in case they have a doubt about the non availability of a citizen for that position.

First of all congratulations to all those who got their approval in the last couple months. Now comes the big dilemma for some of us. Did anyone tried to switch their jobs, or at least, ditch their current employer? Did anyone switched their employer immediately after the green card approval? I am sailing in this boat. I want to switch my employer ASAP, but is hesitating to do so... as you know there are some obvious reasons later. What are other problems that you think other than getting tons of questions during the citizenship? Appreciate your answers. ;)

Just my opinion. Stay with employer for 6 months - 1 year. Stay in the same profession for atleast 2 years ( i understood that way from Attorney Ron Gotcher )

I need some advice in connection with a letter I received from USCIS for an in-person interview. It says that this interview will be video taped. It mentions a list of items to bring to the interview if they are checked, but none of the items in this letter are checked.

The items are:
- This letter, passport, I-94
- Medical exam results, Form I-693
- A current letter of employment
- Evidence of a common residence and shared life
- Other

My priority date is not current. And, my I-140 is approved and it has been more than 6 months since I-485 filing. I changed jobs about 4 months ago and did not transfer my H1B and started working using EAD. My H1B was revoked by my last employer. Also, I did not send a AC21 letter after switching jobs.

Is not sending the AC21 letter the reason for this interview? Also, since none of the items in the letter is checked, what does this mean? Please advise.

Your french degree has no compelling equivalency to a masters degree in u.s. educ. level. specially you are just a neophyte in your field (1yr) better apply in quebec ...:( :(
