L1s don't visit these sites because most them don't apply for green card. L1s are majorly used by big companies like TCS, Infosys, etc. Those big corporates won't apply for GC. Very rarely based on relationship and long service some apply for GC.

I see lots of L1 bashing. In reality L1s are pitier than H1s. L1 cannot transfer their visa and change job as H1s do. They have to wait till H1 quota to open up for changing jobs. They run in a rat race to keep their manager happy to get better rating in their appraisal.

PS: I am on H1 status.

6 to 1...... maybe L1 guys don't visit this forum since they already got thier GCs....:rolleyes:
H1 loosers still hanging here.....

During this tough times of un-employment, it is very unfortunate that many of us lose our jobs. As a result many of us lose medical benefits too. I would like to explore our options for medical insurance (which is the most needed) for someone who lost their jobs and cannot afford COBRA coverage since it is very expensive. IF you are unemployed and if you have bought your own medical insurance (not as a group plan through the employer), but bought it as an individual plan, can you throw in some details. This will be helpful to many who have lost or going to lose jobs, for them to understand how much they need to spend for different kinds of medical coverage. Thanks to everyone.

Thanks for quick reply

..Wadhwa,...Dalmia...all desi names. Well, Anderson Cooper is american. But what I mean is that the authors of such articles and studies are almost always Indian origin people.
While it serves well to have such studies out there, we need more white american people supporting this cause. And I stress WHITE amerrican.
Even though America was built on the backs of immigrants, all but a very few of them were white anglo-saxon people from western europe.

Hello
My Labor approved in May 2007, Still i didn't received my Labor Hard Copy.

Anyone in same boat??:eek:

You will not receive the originals. They will go to the entity that filed your LC - if a lawyer filed for it, the original will go to the lawyer. If the employer filed for it, the original will go to the employer. You will have to sign one page of the original document (which the employer/lawyer should send to you) before filing your I-140. The employer does not legally have to provide you with a copy of the LC either.
Now, if your employer/lawyer have not received the original from the DOL, he/she can follow the instructions as stated on the PLC website to obtain a duplicate certification copy. Although from what you are saying, if it was approved in May of last year, it will have expired by now anyway.

Hi there,
I changed my address using the online facility provided by USCIS by filling out the AR-11 form. I got the confirmation for that. After that when I started to change for pending petitions (I-485), lost my internet connection. I could not go back to that part again.

I checked all the FAQ's etc but could not find a link that would explain how to change only the pending petitions, since AR-11 was already changed.

Please let me know if anybody was in the similar situation.

Thank you!!!

That could be viewed as remuneration for services thus meeting the USCIS definition of employment. At least theorhetically, this would violate your H-1 status.

Hi guys, I have a unique situation, thanks to july visa bulletin. I have a EB3 labor and I 140 approved with the PD as May 2004. Recently I applied EB2 PERM in order to port the PD from EB3 to EB2. My EB2 perm is approved now. Now, I am in dilemma to choose between EB2 and EB3. I can apply EB2 I 140 and I 485 concurrently (by assuming that they will port the PD) or I can apply I485 (for previously approved EB3). Please suggest as to what route I should take.

My wife went to Chennai consulate for H4 visa when she is on OPT. Its been close to 5 weeks. They asked her to respond to some questionnaires (pink slip) and keep checking the case report status which is a pdf document being updated every Tue and Fri on http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/adminprocess.html . Since she is a PhD they need to do some background check on what kind of research and all that. The report still says "Pending processing". Th irony is, it says in the instructions that, if we contact them to find out the case status, it will take longer for them to make a decision.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

zCool, Thanks a lot!


Last Status counts situation DOES NOT apply here.
That rule applies to situations where you've gone from h1b to h4 or ead etc..
In your case, you can have as many approved h1b petitions as possible since it's really petition approved for that employer and your are merely beneficiary.
BUT you can ONLY work for 1 employer at a time..
Going by your situation.. if you have approved h1 from company B and are working with company B. THEN you are okay.. to hell with what company A may choose to do..

I dont think we are doing any wrong here. I think it helps people. People can search who are the H1B and GC sponsoring companies. You can search about lawyers who have filed H1B and Green Cards.

NO, you cannot interfile. A Family-based priority date, cannot be used in connection with employment-based. If you are married to a U.S. Citizen, and you already have an approved I-130, you can apply to adjustment of status immediately through the U.S. Citizen. You file AOS now and it may get approved much faster than the employment-based. Once you file the new I-485 through family, you generally should withdraw the employment-based. But wait until you receive a new EAD via the new I-485.

If the company has processed your H1-B and they have fired you. Probably you are entitled for return fare to your home country. Because somewhere under some clause of H1B application, company has to sign that they will give return ticket to employee when the work is done. Please do some home work. Go to USCIS site and look for details needed to file H1-B application. Or if you have your H1 paperwork, look into it. You will stumble on something.

I have been reading lot of threads lately on IV...While I am in same boat as all of you, I feel really stressed out after reading these threads. Almost feels sad about myself and others. I feel we need stress reduction...So lets get back to what we find the most fun. Prediction of VB Priority dates for Marc07.:D
Let me start by guessing myself
EB1 - All current
EB2- World -C, China 22nd May 05, India - 1st Feb 03, Everyone else current
EB3- Not sure if even God can predict here:confused:

hi guyz,

Please advise on this issue: I work for a engineering software company. Currently I work as a 'Technical Support Engineer', but my company has offered me a position of 'Sales Engineer'. I have already applied for my I-485, but have not received a notice yet. If I start working in the sales position, will this affect my GC application? Would the USCIS know about my change of duties, if my 'salary' and 'position title' remains the same? Please reply. Response will be highly appreciated!

As long as nothing changes on paper, you are good. The title can be different as long as there are at least some responsibilities similar to your previous role.

But keep in mind, that companies & management are volatile by nature. The manager and HR who are cooperating today may move on and you may have to deal with new people who may not be willing to go along.
