Who said anything about a 10 year old boy? Correct me if im wrong but this is a public forum and I can ask whatever question I want to ask. Its up to you if you want to answer it. All i asked was if anyone had come across this situation, if you haven't and you don't have a constructive opinion id rather you kept your snide remarks to yourself.

Didn't most of us came to US through "Desi Companies/Body Shopper/Outsourcer"?

Now that we are feeling the pinch, we want to close this door for the other folks?

Guys, this is pinnacle of hypocrisy. Please convince me how this is different from the Anti Immigrants??

Please note. I have no axe to grind and I have never worked for Desi Company/Body Shopper/Outsourcer.

We are not talking about closing the door. We are talking how the desi companies are abusing the system

Hi ,
Yes, it is possible.

wow ..so I guess there is hope :)

there was a thread yesterday discussing this news. It is indeed welcome news. Atleast now USCIS should concentrate on FIFO approvals. There are just too many 2003/4/5 EB-2I applicants waiting in line when 2006 applicants got approved in a frenzy last couple of months...what a cruel joke! and for EB-3I, this news may reveal the total number of cases pending. Nobody seemed to know the accurate count...

Sorry I didnt see the thread. Still dont actually. Where is it? Thanks.

Its very unlikely that the body/staff of USCIS that is currently processing 485 and doing a really pathetic job of approving 140,000 I-485 files a year today is going to be assigned the job of processing 11 million illegals.

If that were to happen, those illegals would die of old age before being processing by the USCIS.

They would setup another office, actually many office to process these illegals, 11 million. That is most likely to happen. Besides, they would not be eating away from EB greencard quota. There simply isnt enough in there to do that. And I am sure lawmakers are not going to point 11 million people to eat out of a quota of 140,000 a year. That would take 70 years to process just illlegals. Do you think congress would pass an immigration reform bill that solves this problem of 11 million current illegals in 70 years?

what is the cost for premium processing

$1000

Please Help since I dont know what to do as I was expecting the EAD card to start a new job.

Wait for 30 days from the EAD mailing date and open a SR with USCIS and take infopass appointment. Discuss the issue with CSR & IO. They will tell you exactly what you need to do.

regd ur qn --> So do you think using EAD gives a person an Immigrant status in turn losing his non-immigrant status?

485 stage itself is called 'adjustment of status'. so using EAD or AP , takes u out of nonimmigrant status, and brings u into a intermediate status - thats why they write AOS/parolee on i94 if u use AP. . i dont think u become an "immigrant" untill ur 485/gc is approved.

Cant remember precisely .. as soon as ones information is entered .. there's a link to add another passport..

as far as I see it they gonna review them together.. but not sure

Hello All,



I am on a 6th year on H1-B with my 140 approved. I am due for renewal on June 2010 with my employer who is a desi consulting company.. My employer has around 100+ employees.



I am recently moving over to a new consulting opportunity which my employer has showed me which is corp – corp with prime vendor in between…

I also have another Full time offer pending with a Big 5 consulting company who promised me to sponsor my H1 and re start my GC process since my 485 is not approved… I need couple of suggestions if somebody could advice



� Is it better to stay with my desi consulting company because my GC is in process with them? I am little afraid with respect to this new USCIS Memo( Employee – employer relationship in terms of H1 processing and travelling to india

OR

� Is it better to move on with the full time offer with top 5 consulting company . This from my career perspective would be growth but only disadvantage is that I need to re start my GC process . Hopefully I should be able to port my PD date…..



I am little torn up on what to choose ( full time or stay on corp to corp ). Can anybody advise if its better to compromise on GC and take the Full time offer because of all this scrutiny that USCIS is doing with ..



Thanks,

What do you mean 485 not approved, Have you already applied 485 and pending. If that is the case, you can join using EAD and continue GC process, no need to restart GC. Also you had mentioned restart GC, if 485 has not been filed, in this case, you had mentioned you will be doing H1 transfer /use AC21 to get H1 extension for beyond 6 years based on your approved I-140, As long as all goes well, you will be fine, H1 transfer + start new GC right away and you can retain your PD since the I-140 is approved. But, if the new company delays GC / Perm filing for some reason and if the old company revokes I-140, then you will be in trouble. Also any future H1 transfer / extension will entirely depend on the mew labor pending beyond a year or approved I-140. Not to discourage you, but you need to consider all facts and have a plan B, if your long term goal is migrate permanently to US as well as, progress in your career. This might sometimes means, taking calculative risks and also compromising on some.

Hi,

Does anybody know the procedure to transfer H4 to F1. Do I need I- 20 for that?

What is meant by 3 years experience before immigrant petition in SKIL Act.

Now I have more than 5 years of US experience, will I fall into this category when I file I-485.

It means a shit if a bill doesn't pass. As of right now, news reports have started suggesting that there may not be any immigration bill this year, which could imply - no immigration bill until 2009.

Also, could we please STOP looking at how a specific provision would benefit you personally? Let me guess the title of your next post….

“When will I get my green card”

Right?

You also might try a less busy background - the stripes are a little distracting. You could fuzz them with a wider aperture (a 50mm f/1.8 is cheap and good for portraits or when out shooting random subjects). Have you tried converting this one to B&W? Sometimes that's more pleasing with high contrast.

Hi All,

My employer filed my I-140 in Texas Service center and I-485/ I-765/ I-131 filed in Nebraska Service center. Is this OK?

When i asked for the reason they are saying they did intentionally. Please clarify.

You can buy a ticket, which has a hard return date after six months. After they come here, you can again reschedule earlier or later. I know cathay pacific allows to reschedule any number of times for free...

I would recommend you stick to you H1B by getting an extension on H1. The problem with EAD is that EAD extensions take long and there is no guarantee your EAD extension will be granted before the present one expires. If this were to happen you are out of status (ppl correct me here if I'm wrong). So maintain ur H1 status as far as possible.

any predictions for Feb 2009 :D:D

It takes roughly 20 business days. We just got ours.

When you renew AP, what is start date , Is it from the expiration day of your previous AP ?

If I think from company's point of view then what they are doing is that they are cutting down their liabilities. If they put you on LOA they would have to pay for insurance and other benefits. I dont know if its right to read too much between the lines.

I guess you'll have to wait till October to find out. However, if they apply for your H1 in April then I wouldnt worry because no company would just flush $3000 if they dont intend to hire you.

All the best

Cheers
Nat

One of my friends case was pending for more than 6 months with USCIS for H1B renewal, masters, and working at a client place. The employer checked with USCIS and they give a message " that the case needs further investigation".
What does this mean.

Robert

It means that they are either not satisfied that the job meets the speciality occupation criteria or the credentials of the employee/employer/any of the document s provided. They will conduct an investigation and your friend will hear from them upon completion of thier investigation.
