I do not think today is the day and tomorrow does not look any better..for Comprehensive Reform or Employment based reform..All we can do today here is just show some support to each other at IV

Hello,

I am in process of finding H-1B sponsoring companies for my brother who is in India currently.

Is there anyway I can research a company.
- How many employees does it have
- How many h-1bs has that company filed in previous years (2006 & 2007)
- How many LCs (For greencard) has that company filed
- Financial condition of the company.

I had come accross a link earlier on IV forum which had prior h-1b info but can't find that thread now.

Any help is appreciated.

Bumping up.....

The Department of State (DOS) has issued a regulation that broadens the authority of consular officers to revoke a visa at any time subsequent to issuance of the visa, including when the individual is already in the U.S. Additionally, the regulation allows consular officers and designated officials within DOS to revoke a visa provisionally while considering a final visa revocation.

This rule is effective April 27, 2011. DOS did not issue the regulation through notice and comment rulemaking on the basis that it involves a foreign affairs function of the United States and, therefore, is exempt from those procedures.

Pursuant to section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), DOS may determine that a visa should be revoked when information reveals that the applicant was originally, or has since become, ineligible or may be ineligible to possess a U.S. visa. In testimony before Congress in 2004, DOS stated that it had revoked 1,250 visas since September 11, 2001, based on information suggesting possible terrorist activities or links. Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have put pressure on DOS and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to improve their policies regarding visa revocations.

If DOS revokes an individual�s visa, the information will be uploaded into the Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) database and the foreign national may not use the visa for travel to the U.S. Though DOS will seek to notify the traveler, the revocation is effective irrespective of whether the foreign traveler knows about the revocation.

Separately, the INA allows the government to remove (i.e. deport) an individual whose nonimmigrant visa has been revoked under section 221(i). There is no judicial review of the decision to revoke the visa, but there is judicial review in the context of a removal proceeding if the visa revocation is the sole basis for removal.

Expect more denials at the port of entry to the US by individuals not aware that their visa has been revoked. I understand the need for more security but this may not be the way to go.

Please see other thread on similar topic...please do not start new threads without researching exisitng threads...moderators please lock this thread or merge with the existing thread.

IMHO the other thread talks about travelling if you have a valid H1B, this thread talks about going to a us consulate to get H1B stamped during your 485 pending

Am I correct?

Hi
Can someone let me know if we can go a PCP and take medication for INH for 9 months for a positive skin test and negative x-ray.
Or it is a rule that we need to go only to local county health dept.

Depends on whether the role for which he is applying requires a PhD or not. Once again, consult a good lawyer.

Small addition to your post. EB1A does not require a job offer, but it needs the applicant to prove exceptional ability. EB1B (outstanding researcher or professor) and EB1C (multinational manager) do need sponsorship and a job offer.

Hi vvenkat007,

My wife has done BDS from India and is currently here in the US with me trying to get into a dental school.

http://nbdeforum.com is a good website to begin with for useful info.

First to come from India, he probably needs to apply for a Masters in Public Health or some degree like that to come to the US. Then, he has to take the National Board of Dental Examinations (NBDE Part I and/or Part II depending on school requirement) and ace them. Also, TOEFL exam ofcourse.

Then, he can apply to the 25 or so schools in the US that actually allow foriegn-trained dentists to get admitted into their 2nd or 3rd year (again depending on school) of DDS classes.

PM me if you have any questions. All the best to your brother!


Hi Friends,

My brother is finishing his BDS in India this year. I am planning to bring him to US for the studies in USA. Could you please help me on what he needs to do to enter here and are there any hurdles. I am new to USA too so don't know much about the ways so trying to find out. All I heard is unlike engineering its difficult to come for medical studies to USA.

Thank you for your help and support.

Anti trust lawsuits are brought about when it is found that a company or institution is using it's power of monopoly to bring in anti-competitive measures. In this case, which institution is using it's monopoly - the government?

Your post is not clear. Do you have Permanent Resident Card? If yes then why do you need EAD?

How come Mubai,India consulate publish cut of date as april 2002 for EB3-I??

see the below link

This is a very sad message this morning I got to read from my inbox. I am not bothered about losing the pledge, but I am shocked to see only 88 members pledged. The sadest part is that this pledge is created by a US Citizen for IV.

IV Members 6000+
Retrogressed members 350,000+

Why only 88 pledged? Many people wants free ride which they cannot get if they dont want to unite for the common cause. I know most of the H1b holders are paid well and spend a lot. But when it comes to donate, they feel $1 equivalent to $1000. The reason is they feel they are not getting anything in return which is not true and they feel they are smart to get a free ride when others donate.

If you dont unite for the common cause, everyone including is going to struggle to get what you want. But at least the donated members will feel good about trying their best.

*************** EMAIL FROM PLEDGEBANK *****************
We are sorry to have to inform you that the pledge to which you
signed up did not meet its target in the required time. It
required 1000 other people, but achieved only 88.

The pledge, created by Randall Emery, read: 'I will donate $10
monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000
other people will too.'

This means you don't have to do your part of the pledge.
Instead, why not sign up to local alerts at
http://www.en-gb.pledgebank.com/alert to find out when someone
creates a new pledge near you, browse the pledges at
http://www.en-gb.pledgebank.com/list or perhaps make your own

I am an Indian citizen. I have an approved I-140 under National Interest Waiver with a PD of Aug 31, 2007. I am now a permanently employed scientist at a National Lab. I think I am now eligible for application under EB-1 Outstanding researcher category. Is it possible to apply for I-485 without another I-140? It will take quite some time to secure all the recommendation letters to apply for EB-1 (OR). I am wondering if I can bypass the whole process of I-140 and directly apply for adjustment of status based on my approved I-140 saving time and effort.

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hi,

I have an H1, with a receipt date of April 2006. It was valid till July 2008. I came to US on that H1 in 2007 for 2 months. After that I have been working in India till March 2009.

Currently I am on H4. And there is a gap in employment since March 2009.
I have got an offer now and employer will take care of my H1.

I need to know what is the process of H4 to H1 in this case.? Can anybody help me
How much time does this change of status takes place?
The H1 now will be valid for how much time?
Will it depend on my husband's expiry date of H1. My husband's H1 is expiring in Sep 2010
Is it not recommended to move out of the country till status is changed from H4 to H1.

Please somebody reply. Its urgent!

Thanks in advance

Our AP saga got its final miracle today. (at least I think it’s the final one…) Though my spouse’s and daughter's AP were finally got approved yesterday, the miracle is that TSC has decided to expedite and overnight them, based on a fax from my father-in-law’s doctor.
The very nice lady IO at SF INS office this morning asked for our telephone numbers, and then followed up and called us on our cell phone to confirm that TSC is expediting the APS…..…and overnight-ing them!

Prior to this last miracle the journey was choppy.
We are to leave for India on Dec 26th... ..the APs were e-filed on July 12 to give TSC enough time.

Because nothing seemed to be happening I faxed TSC director (no use), another fax at TSC (not much use), made friends with a TSC rep...(great) got in touch with my Congressman George MIller's office..(fantastic), leading to the approval yesterday and then today comes the icing on the cake… the overnight-ing….

After a season of dryness, it doesn't just rain, it pours!

write to the ombudsman. So much circus for an AP? When you applied 5 months ago!!

oh, and congrats on getting your AP in time for your travel plans.

wow... $4 doesn't make anyone's blood boil. Only if USCIS had paid a little more, may be my case would be approved long time ago.

What say...

Hi Terpac,

Is this EB2 or EB3? How many yrs. experience did you have when filing for labor?
Which center filed NSC or TSC?

Please consult your attorney, or also try www.thedegreepeople.com

Do post/update your situation here to help the rest of us.

Thank You!

80% will benefit immediately. 20% will not. But we must strive to work for these 20% also.

Look, the USCIS will some good, reliable concrete numbers to work on. I feel what is happening is just.
