Interesting analysis.

I found an additional prediction on this link http://www.murthy.com/news/n_oct07vb.html

The OP here has found a pattern that builds on that same prediction, and should extend into 2008. If that pattern holds its 6 month jumps initially, then stagnation later by 2nd quarter. Lets see if it does.

Of course if 10K people do show up at the DC rally, then none of this might be needed. If enough senators can be convinced that what we are facing is really a big problem and easily fixable (atleast recapture of 200K visas and exemption of dependents if not a bump up in annual limits) then the dates will be C C all through 2008.

All the east-coasters who saw the effect of the San Jose rally: its your turn now to up the ante and go one step ahead. The results of not showing up for that rally is literally a guarantee that only a tiny percentage of us will get I-485 approvals for the next two years!!! and things might improve even with a new president ONLY if we rally then! think about that!! not doing anything is a guarantee of long long waits...

San Jose rally allowed everyone to file I-485 the DC rally could help everyone get timely approvals!!

My thinking is that this mad rush of dates being current, should not have much effect on the retrogression in Oct 07, because either way most of us will get green cards only after date becomes current....granted we'll get EAD and AP.....Since last retrogression for EB-2 was April 04, my guess is going to be somewhere like Jan 04.........Please share ur thoughts....

You would agree that the majority of the July gold rush comes from two sources:

1. Those who waited till their PD becomes current.
2. Those whose labor certification after many years (5-6) finally was cleared by DOL.
The group one should not push the retrogression worse than what was before the beginning of the years simply because of the fact they they were retrogressed means their PD is not very old.

The group two can affect the visa bulleting significantly. In many cases DOL worked upside down clearing the oldest PD the last. The bulk of the cases comes from the infamous 2001 amnesty for illegals when approximately 240,000 application completely clogged DOL. I do not know how many of those 240,000 still around - if we admit 50,000 that means 100,000 green cards = cutoff date for EB3 may go back to 2002.

I would like to know, can I get my H-1B at 6.0 year of my H-4 with my spouse�s approved I-140 (affected by EB-3 retrogression)?

My self and my wife both are on H1B. Both are working for different companies.

I filled I 485, EAD and AP through my company, for my self and my wife.

Questions:
1) I am the primary person. After getting the EAD, Is it possible, If my wife can open a consulting company with her name?

2) After opening a consulting company on her name, Is it possible, she can leave her H1B employer and run her own paystubs on her own company.



Your help will be really appreciated. :)

NV does not allow in-state
OH does allow in-state

AFAIK States that do not have state income tax do not let H4 visa holders pay instate and make Green Card as a requirement for instate qualification.

WA state is a good example of the above situation. I don't know about TX,FL,SD,NV,AK,WY which also do not have state income taxes. You might want to look at the instate qualification website for the state you are interested in.

MD doesn't allow instate

DC has no instate concept at all :)

VA,NY,CA,MA,IL allow instate as of my knowledge.

Extrapolating the Einstein equation E =mc2 I get the following results :


EB3 June 01

EB2 Dec 2000

Thanks everybody for help.

I would have another question:

I don't know what to write on "Class of Admission". When I entered U.S I was on H4 but I got Ead and now I'm on Ead and my husband on H1b.

Could someone tell me please what to write.
Thank you!

And where it's written :"On a seperate sheet of paper, please explain how you qualify for advance parole document"......should I write on a blank sheet of paper that I need to visit my parents....?

Hi All,

My visa will expire (6 yrs completion) in the month of October 2007. What can I do next. Will I get an years extension based on the Green card filing. What is the standard procedure ?

CCC2006

Fiirst, I think you should have started a new thread with your question and not bury it under this discussion. Having said that, to get an extension after the six year H limit, you need to have labor certification application filed at least 365 days prior to your expiry date or alternatively have an immigrant petition approved on your behalf by that date.

Well its that time of the year..., Does anyone know if I can add my spouse as dependent and get the tax break. Is there any website where I can get the information on filing procedures with H1 and H4?

this is what i know

since I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for more than 6 months therefore employer withdrawing I-140 will hv no effect on GC process

u can get copy of I-140 approval by filing FOIA rqst but it takes about 4-5 months

again, this is what i know but i am not a lawyer, pls consult an attorney b4 any action

btw how does ur employer expect that u not go to another company if u r going to lose ur job with him?

Looks like the OP works for a consulting company and his contract seems to be ending. Seems like there are no contract opportunities at this time but there are fulltime opportunities that match his profile.

His employer does not want him to leave the company but at the same time does not want any issues with benching so asked him to work using EAD during his last week.

His employer also threatening to withdraw 140 support if he leaves.

OP - as long as u r having a new job in hand, AC21 works just fine, so don't worry too much.

Thanks guys. I am going to Lake George by NY-Canada border and this seems like good info. But I am from NJ and we have the new tamper proof Drivers licenses which show immigration status and you need to produce all immigration papers to get one. Isn't that enough??

Carry ur passport and h1b ddocument - DL is not enough

Nandini Nair's fees are very less and I got my PERM LC (in EB2) & I-140 approved through her without any questions. Real quick response!

She was a weekly columnist for Express Computer on immigration topics.

If you invest more than 1 million(like bechams hollywood hills home) in US you are eligible to apply for a greencard

I don't believe so.

Only H1 transfers have no cap, apart from non-profits.......
Isn't?


What you said is wrong, if you are in H1b, you can switch to H4 and come back to H1 without cap but I need more input. Like if I am on H1b based on I-140 and if my spouse is on H1b non-profit. how it works!!

I would like to know, can I get my H-1B at 6.0 year of my H-4 with my spouse�s approved I-140 (affected by EB-3 retrogression)?

I am a nurse from the Philippines currently living in northern California, enrolled in university, working towards my masters degree. I currently have a F1 student visa, have already passed the NCLEX and also hold a Philippines RN license. I don't have any work experience as a nurse besides my clinical experience as a student. I wanted to know what my current options are? I have a company willing to sponsor me on the east coast. I was referred to them by my sister-in-law who is currently working for them. I spoke to the companies recruiter but she couldn't answer some of my more detailed immigration questions.

I just wanted to get some options from some helpful members here. I currently have an appointment with an immigration lawyer next week but wanted to be somewhat inform on my options before meeting with the lawyer.

I know their is a long wait currently for nurses coming from the Philippines. Does it make my situation a little easier considering I am already in the US on a F1 visa? I was told that if they were to lift retrogression for nurses that I would be process asap because I am currently living in the US legally... I seriously have my doubts about this lol.

Any insight on my current situation is much appreciate.

Thank you all very much,

please anybody????????

Did any one(who have not applied 485 yet) got their 140 Approved copy by FOIA request? :confused:

No, I do not have a EAD or AP. I did not apply for them. I am planning to keep extending my H1 and not get into the hassle of EAD and AP every year.

Though its your decision but having EAD and AP in my hand (whether or not to use them) would give me some hope.
