From from the article. "On wooing back Indian talent, Murthy said there was no need to increase their salaries by 50 times to ensure this. But their lives could be made easier by providing schools, making sure that power condition and commuting is reasonably all right " Looks like he wants to still have the "less expensive" advantage over non-Indian companies / competition and he just wants more and easy H1B's and does not like the path to permanent residency and eventually citizenship and integrating with the American society - which is what American immigration is for. Just need the $$$. Though there are many good to learn from this company and this man, I do disagree with his views when it comes to immigration to USA.

To summarise: - Mr.Murthy is saying let all scape goats come to Infosys and get H1 or L1, and we may use you in whatever way we want, by showing some never attainable goals. and use it as chop shop material, get your tax money also as profit while you are in USA. give accomodation in one hotel room with 4 or less people or in an apartment 2 familes in 2 bed room apartment with a one rental car together!, Any way He want to still make $$$$ that is purely evident. by hook or Crook!

Dear friends:

As the Past President of a PMI Chapter (PMP for the past 10 years and working in the field of Project management for the past 15 years) let me shed some light to this query.

Reasons why you should do PMP
1) If you believe you need a promotion, new job or rise the corporate ladder within the field of IT or management, take PMP.....Billing rate of PM's is $90-150/hr for consulting, full time could be from $100K-$250K. The next generation CIO's will be highly qualified PM's.
2) Job security for PMP's. The only job that will not be outsourced to India or China is that of a project manager.
3) PMP will help you get the project manager job, if you do not have one. However, become a Project Manager only if you like working with people. Trust me, if you hate politics and hate managing people, it is better for you to stay a techie. Your life will be miserable if you do not like managing people. Do something that you enjoy, rather than what you may hate. It is all about people and people management, rather than project management in the world of PMP's
4) PMP has become mandatory for all large gigs or projects. Small projects do not need PMP's and small projects do not pay well too.
5) PMP does not make you a better project manager. But PMP is needed by the industry. It is the experience that one gets from being on the field from different industries that makes one a good project manager.

I hope this should help some of you to make a decision to be a PMP or not.

Well Said FinalGC

Have they mentioned it on their website? Usually DMVs like CT etc.. mention on website that they need a Employment verification letter, as a matter of fact, they don't even accept paystubs they just want employment verification letter.

Folks - my advice is : Please do not argue with the department. Ask them to post their new requirement on their website so that you don't go there and get disappointed.

My manager surprised me today saying that I was promoted yesterday from a programmer analyst to a systems analyst. I have an approved i-140 and have filed my 485. My priority date for EB3 is current. I also have a 3 year extension of H1B.

There is no change in the job responsibilities.

Question:

1. How soon should I file my AC21 request?
2. What is the impact of this promotion on my H1B?
3. I have waited for 7 years and I may be close to getting my Green Card. How does the AC 21 impact my pending 485?

I declined my promotion. My manager said that it would take a lot of effort to unwind this promotion. He was not pleased with my request.

Any ideas?

since your duties are the same I would think there was no issue in accepting this promotion. Even teh DOL job codes page mentions that those two titles apply to similar jobs: http://online.onetcenter.org/link/summary/15-1051.00.
you my want to undo the rejection, and go ahead and accept the promotion... confirm with your immigraiton attorney.
Does your immigration attorney say that your H1 needs to be updated with a revised LCA?

~~~.

Are people not seeing this thread? Whats going on? We need those fixes bad.. We need your letters real bad.

YES.
Thanks!

Thanks for the info,

Hello BharatPremi,

I was in the Interfiling situation for the last four months but EB2 India was Retrogressed and then Unavailable as you know. But, I got the advice from my Lawyer that I should Interfile and not wait for the EB2 India dates to get current. So, at the end of Feb '08 I decided to Interfile with my lawyer's help.

With the cover letter as suggested in various earlier posts he made sure he sent the Original Approval Notice of the I140 and not a copy.

The main text of the letter was:

In accordance with 8 C.F.R. �204.5(e) , the applicant hereby request your office to amend the priority date to that of <new I140 Priority Date> as indicated on the enclosed original approved I-140 petition on behalf of the applicant.

In the footnotes, this was included:
1. A petition approved on behalf of an alien under sections 203(b) (1), (2), or (3) of the Act accords the alien the priority date of the approved petition for any subsequently filed petition for any classification under sections 203(b) (1), (2), or (3) of the Act for which the alien may qualify. In the event that the alien is the beneficiary of multiple petitions under sections 203(b) (1), (2), or (3) of the Act, the alien shall be entitled to the earliest priority date.

It was beginning of March when this was done. Then in mid-March, I got the great news that EB2 India is current for my PD. We will see what happens in April '08 !!!

No news from USCIS yet on the Interfiling app. My lawyer suggested to call after a month of the application's RD.

Waiting on GC for more than 6 years. I hope this is the last thing to do before AOS is approved for us and we receive the PR Card.

Hope this info helps.
Best of Luck for your case.

Thanks Sanbaj. Do you have both applications under same sponsor? Or different sponsor? My case is: both different sponsor and on top of that now I am working for third company using AC21 -EAD. Can any complications arise?

They didn't mentioned it in the press release though..

Did you mean "EB2 ROW Unused visa numbers are not given to EB2 India and China... Are those number given to EB3 ROW ?"

the bold text is my addition. If that's your question, I am curious about that too.

It seems as per current DOS practice, the answer is yes. They will be issuing only 2800 EB2 visas per year to India and China. They will be issuing remaining unused visas by EB2-ROW to EB3-ROW.

Great point arihant. What all of us have to remember is that even if we don't have voting powers, if we can prove that it is in the interest to USA to change these antiquated laws, the lawmakers will act. That is precisely what we are doing currently with the help of QGA.

Lou Dobbs does not care about legal high skilled immigrants he no longer refers to H1bs as H1bs but rather as "cheap foreign labor". His wife is Mexican-American but he does not hesistate to attack Mexico and any vulnerable immigrant group, for that, he makes over $6m a year for his rhetoric, he has even gone as far as being linked to hate groups and supremacist organizations. Media matters is an organization that exposes Lou Dobbs' lies, next time Lou Dobbs or Fox (the channel) attacks legal high skilled immigrants and does so using falsehoods, it would not be out of order for IV members to contact Media Matters and set out the truth.

Here is a recent attack on undocumented "DREAM act" students exposed by Media Matters:

Based on the discussion with Charlie Oppenheim, Chief of Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting, DOS, the AILA has just released the following predictions:
EB-1 (All Countries): Closely match to September 2007 VB
EB-2 (All Countries): Closely match to September 2007 VB
EB-3 (All Countries): Similar to January 2007 VB
EB-3EW (All Countries): 10/01/2001
EB-4: N/A
EB-5: C

Can any one tell me what EB-3EW means?
Thx

EB-3 EW means "Employment Third Preference Other Worker".

I wonder how someone can add amnesia on others? :confused:

Guys, stop insulting each other. There is no need to add misery and amnesia on each other. I am sure we will all reach our destiny in the end. Just make the journey courteous and smooth.

Hi 'Internet'

I'm not like you to come with annonymous ID's (like 'internet'). My email id is suresh.emails@yahoo.com. I'm using it since ages. I have used my email id on IV forum

I have entered all my details in the forum and send the same details to IV Virginia Chapter.

In other words i'm a fully registered member with IV Virginia state chapter.

If you have red my posting clearly, I wrote, I don't bother about RED's/Green's.

I was hurt for the using bad language by an IV member on a matured immigration forum.

You responded to my post having not read it properly. This is what is called interpretation issue with the language. This is what I wanted to convey.

Why are you referring to some thing really not related 'in secure' to this post.

I'm fighting on the BAD language usage on a forum. When are participants are matured enough what to write on

Read again and again before respond to some one's posting.



You will come back with another new annonymous ID. So stop being a hypocrite. If you want to go then go. Nobody cares who you are and for that matter who anyone is in this annonymous forum.

People come and go when their question is answered or when they get a greencard. People only care about their answers or a greencard. No mature person cares about red and green dots. Only people who who are insecure and have nothing better to do in life crib about red dots. Find a better cause to fight in life dude.

Does anyone know why USCIS has not released any processing dates in December. The last posting (at least for TSC) says that it was released on Nov 18th and dates are as of Sep 30th.
Is USCIS just going to skip December and consider a full month of holidays ?

DISGUSTING

Report back
On speeding up Labor certification

When one of us said congress's intention for LC is 21-60 days, the staffer replied that was before 911. How can we make this happen and speeded up the work in PBEC/DBEC?

The staffer also mentioned that a lot of time is spent on "background check" and mentioned it was suggested it might be better for FBI to do it. But of course the FBI had other things to do and that suggestion didn't fly.

One of us mentioned the clogging due to 245-i. LCs could be speeded up -- if the paper work of those on the 245-1 (Apr.,25,2001) track is different from us, then could those be handled differently/ in another place to speed up our LCs in PBEC and DBEC.
Bluekayal

Great summary Bluekayal!

A few points of response about congressional intent and reality and the 9-11 defense [all, you need to read our presentation to follow this discussion]

(1) Labor Cert: Intent = 21-60 days; This stage has nothing to do with 9-11! Nothing at all! There has been no change in process here, maybe there are more applications, but that doesn't change the intent reality story. Again, they need to fund the program in order to achieve intent.

(2) I-485/I-140: Intent = 6 months; Remember that the presidential mandate for 6 month times is a post-9-11 mandate -- CIS's own director has testified before Congress that they are trying to achieve this goal. So the 9-11 argument doesn't wash here either -- they need to fund the operation properly so that the president's mandate is satisfied.

(3) Background checks
(a) USCIS queries the IBIS database maintained by Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
(b) FBI conducts a finger print check
(c) FBI conducts a name check.

So I don't know what she meant by FBI can do it. They already are.
