Hi,

I am EB-3 ROW, PD in Nov.03, I-140 approved. I am planning on changing my current employer (non profit) to for-profit company.

I am in my H-1 B fifth year. I renewed once on my third year. By the time I change my job to the new employer, I will have about one year left in my current H-1B.

If I change the employer, will I be subject to H-1 B visa quota restriction?

I have stayed with my current employer (University) for five years just for the hope of green card. But I think this is time to move on. Staying in my current job is so detrimental to my career.

However, if the new company that may hire me, cannot find any H-1 B visa quota left for me, I will be in trouble if it is the case.

I would appreciate your advice very much.

Thank you always.

Just ask her to recapture 350,000 previous year's visas- That's all! Nothing else will fly in this economy in any immigration bill, EXCEPT for Visa Recapture!



Hello All,

Out of curiosity, I called the congresswoman's office to ask if she would be re-sponsoring the visa recapture bill. The person on the phone asked me to call back next week, because at present she was considering about it.

Can we all try to call her office and request her to re sponsor this bill, as this will help the housing crisis.


I am posting a link, you all can call her office and even explain to the person about why this bill is so important. ( wait to be transferred to the specific person who handles immigration issues, don't talk to the phone operator as she would care less)

Good Luck to all of us.

I have heard atleast 12-13 companies in this area have ICE audits...that may happen to any company in the near term.Let us safely assume to caution new consultants to skip this year's H1B

Just FYI.
Back Feb 08, before going to chennai, I email the US consulate a nogales, Mexico and they did respond that mine was present in the PIMS system. (This might have changed, I don't know)

Later I heard that they were doing it only if one had actually booked an appointment at that consulate. (which can always be done and then cancel, I hard was cheaper to book appointment at US consulates in mex).

Deadline added to this initiative to decide whether to proceed or not.
please see post below for details.

[QUote = ashwin_27]

As suggested by several members on this thread, IV has set a goal of April 30th, 2011 to determine if there is even enough appetite within the EB community to proceed with this USCIS Admin Fix initiative or not.
As we know the initial goal was to use this survey to determine how many members will be benefitted by I-485 filing without current priority date. Rough calculations using PERM data showed that at least 50-70K folks are waiting to file I-485 since July 2007 (around 5K-6K out of this number are those with PDs prior to June/July 2007 missed the July 2007 boat).
So far we have had around 1200 such members respond. We need to see support of at least 5000 members in order for IV to launch the public action items. These action items include, but are not limited to, writing en-masse (i.e. in thousands) over 2-3 weeks to several concerned departments about the need for this USCIS administrative fix. Few other very interesting proposals/ideas are also being considered. All we need is our folks to BELIEVE that this initiative is worth investing in.
The IV forum is the best place for the impacted EB community to gather and that is why the number of votes on the survey is a great indication of our frustration and motivation to work with IV for this important admin fix.
So, we now have a Deadline and an Objective. It is up to our impacted members to decide on whether to still stick to silly excuses (why should I become a member, why should i vote on survey etc etc.) or DO something about getting this admin fix. It is surprising that we are not more desperate for this fix and are not convincing and pushing IV harder and harder to start working with USCIS to allow I485 filing with current PD (and all the benefits like EAD, AP that go with it).
Are we more comfortable with the alternative - Waiting endelesslly to file I-485 (at least 2-5 years for post July 2007 folks from any category), keep depending on H1B extensions in an uncertain immigration scenario where H1B RFE's, rejections, visa denials due to "admin processing" etc are on a steep rise? The choice is ours to make.
As a final reminder - please act and convince your friends/colleagues to participate in this initiative and send ivcoordinator@gmail.com the details requested below.
Please keep following and participating on this thread to show your desperation for this fix.

Good post but we need more information.
How many members does IV have in total?
What % out of that total has not filed 485 yet?
Only if we know these two can we say that you need 5000 to go ahead with this plan.
I think 5000 might be too big a number given the total membership and number of those who have already filed 485.
1200 seems to be a good number.

Story 2

Imagine this. You are old. You are talking to your grandson in your native tongue about the need to utilize an opportunity when it presents itself. You say to him, who is listening with great interest.

"You should always look out for opportunities for it does not present itself explicitly except very few times. When you see it, you should grab it and use it for your to benefit from it.

I will tell you about some things that happened in my life so you can relate to it. I had this dream of settling in America. I had good job, good pay, nice family and generally a pleasant life.

After a few years, I liked the way of life and wanted it to continue forever. But I could not continue this unless I get this thing called greencard, which let me stay for as long as I wanted and work anywhere I wanted. In those days due to many reasons and problems it was very difficult to get one. But I was patient and kept waiting.

There were a group of people who wanted to get together and solve the problems so that the wait time is eliminated. They knew how to get a solution to my problems of getting the greencard sooner. But they needed help from everyone like me so that we could get solve our problems.

At one point, they wanted people like me to go to the capital and talk to different people who had the power to solve our problems. This would help them understand the issues faced by people like me and help address them.

But at that time, I had other things to do and knew that there are others who would chip in and work together and solve this problem.

But then I realized, this green card was very dear to me and I had waited patiently to get it. If I do not work towards something that I wanted, who would?

So I participated completely and did as much as I could to help myself. Our group suceeded and I got my green card. I could continue living the life and dream I wanted.

When I think back about what went right, I realize now that the reason is I saw the opportunity that presented itself to me - To join others and work together to resolve my problems and grabbed the opportunity and utilized it to my benefit.

Thinking back, it was actually a no brainer. Once I realized that if I did not do something, nothing was going to change, I started participating. I guess others also thought of it the same way.

So there was a big crowd in the capital and we explained our problems. It was a sizable number of people explaining the problems. Others who could not make it to the capital contributed in other ways for the event.

So our problems were recognized and addressed. I got my greencard and later citizenship of this great country. Remember, it was not an easy journey, but once I decided to participate and resolve the problems, it became easy.

It was a pain to wait for my green card. But once I started participating and working towards the solution and I guess others must have also thought similarly, I was able to get what I wanted.

So realize this. Always look for opportunity. When it presents itself, grab it and use it and do what is necessary to reap the benefits. You will not regret it."

Which of the above stories do you want to be in?

Be active. Participate.

I will post this on the So.Cal state chapter

to get some smile on your faces..

Still thinking what Jeniffer(Usha ji) will make the immigrants do.. may be ask to make some pasta!!

Yes, it would be part of the lottery system (for company C)

Yes, there is a chance of H1 not going through.

It is as good as you applying for the H1-B for the first time.

Also lots of people are putting the PD as April 1st 2001. Not sure if this is correct.

Talk to your own Health Insurance Company that your Company is Providing and ask for a quote.Even better is through your HR.Ask them to contact the company for adding your Wife. It shouldn't be too difficult i guess.

I find closeups are often surprising, gives a different perspective on ordinary subjects.

I updated the posts to include EXIF data for each picture.

C-Corp is the best way to go. You can register your corporation name and EIN number online with both the Business bureau in your state and the IRS. It takes an hour at most. For me in NYC, I used OPAL: http://www.nys-permits.org/

From my experience, it is better to take commission (to pay yourself) than salary. Basically making your salary project-based like a consultant. That way you can always offset any big expenses with your commission (salary) whenever you incur them. But your method of accounting is up to you.

Get quickbooks or accountedge to maintain a ledger. Excel is pathetic at this.

For C-Corp you file an 1120 annually and a franchise tax (varies by state). NYC has a franchise tax (its called NY Corp Tax) which requires you to pay even if you have no profits for the year. If you are selling tangible objects like software online or merchandise, please note you need a Sales Certificate with your state to collect sales tax. This must be filed quarterly. Sales tax is now being enforced nationwide (Please lookup Amazon / Overstock.com's recent loss to a federal ruling regarding not charging salestax).

Apart from that, keep receipts, make a business account with your bank of preference and try as much as possible to offset all gains with expenses.

For some reasons, USCIS has changed the 'Posted Date' from 01/23 to 01/27. I don't know what changes they have made in the Jan.09 processing dates. Does anyone notice any difference in the dates?

Guys,

I just created a search engine (http://immisearch.blogspot.com/) to help all people looking for a better way to search topics around immigration related activites. The search engine came as a result of my countless hours that I spent searching to answers around the web.
Try searching for any information with h1b, h4, Green Card, I-485, I140, citizenship etc, and the engine should give you a better result.

Leave a comment at the blog and let me know what else could be improved.

Vikram - Very good work.. and a nice idea!
By the way, you inspired me to try out Google Custom Search. Its so fantastic.... It took me less than 5 minutes to create my own search engine... :eek:

http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=014131703373514975508%3A8ykkjer9wvi

it searches thro immigration voice, murthy and uscis..

you can create your own search engine if you want... just google for "Google Custom Search" and follow the setup... you dont need to be tech savvy to create this...

You should be fine. I have been in the exact same situation did not have any problems excepting secondary inspection in which no questions were asked.

No I am not related to eadguru.
I simply need this info for my spouse.

Thanks
