@desi3933:
Are you suggesting that AC-21 job does not need to be bonafide?
Then you claimed that AC-21 job does not be same/similar to labor/I-140.
Where did I say that AC-21 job does not need to be the same as I-140 petition? It's clearly a requirement on the Yates memo. "Do you even read what are you saying" (to quote you)?


Second, re "permanent" job, the Yates memo clearly doesn't say that requirement--the RFE you quoted does . Also, since no source has been able to define what a "permanent" job is, I said that ALL contract jobs and self-employment can be shown to be permanent. Surprisingly, your interpretation is that NO H-1B job is "permanent!"


Now you have changed stand on these two after seeing one RFE example.
I did not change my stand on "permanent" job--no source has been able to define what that is. So, inserting that in the EVL in case of as RFE should not be a problem.

Now, you are saying new AC-21 job does not be bonafide.
I'm not saying that the "AC-21-job does not be bona fide." You *assumed* that, which is what you need to stop in your arguments. All I asked you is, where did you read that?
Do you even read what are you saying?

Thanks to all of those new people who are writing and calling senators. Please keep up the good work. Please also help people around you (H1-B, F1, L1) understand what is happening in the senate.

Thanks bkarnik,

No receipts or checks cashed yet.

Now is the time to really take this to the next level and push for real changes to employment-based processing. Or you can simply accept the reality that you have to wait ten years longer than everyone else to get a green card

Dear mpkmaster, it is easy to ignore facts and throw stones like "your are rasist". And it is not easy to face the reality. Since you are so smart, I would like to ask you some questions:



>>1. Why there are long immigration lines in the US, Europe, Australia, Canada, Singapore etc, and almost none for Mexico, Latin America, Middle East etc. Maybe because these countries a full of "racists" ?[/QUOTE]

To the best of my recollection, thousands of persons from Mexico are very much in line and suffer from retrogression just like everyone else. Please refer to any visa bulletin for details.

Thanks KanMe !!!


I am all for it...


Would contribute $100

Well since INA doesnt specifically state anything regarding this, the regulation CFR takes over.

Our focus of discussion is ebquota, how much and who is eligible. That is clearly documented in INA.

INA also clearly describes family based.

may be by october we will have some visa numbers at that time they may let us file, rice donot mind loosing 2 or 3 billions to AILF because we are alreading loosing 3 to 4 billions in iraq every month and by now she is get used to it.

Thanks a lot srinivas.

Come on folks lets help IV, to get things done for US.

IV is I/WE.

GO IV GO. TOGETHER WE CAN.

Paid $50 through Bank Of America bill pay.

Dish,

Everyone here on this forum understands the frustration of H4 limitations.

However, to say that IV has not done anything beyond media publicity is far from truth.

I hope that you read the "Amendments" link on the homepage(top).

These amendments sponsored by Sen. Brownback and co-sponsored be Sen. Alexander and Bingaman DID NOT HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY.

And they did not come from other organization or lobbying firm. They were introduced to the comprehensive bill on April 7(Just before recess) SOLELY due to efforts of IV, QGA, AAPI and the good staff at Brownback's office.

I have to point this out because by saying that "IV has not done anything besides media publicity" is not true and it discourages people who have spent hundreds of dollars of OWN money to travel to Washington DC and lobby for these amendments. On top of that, core group members HAVE taken UNPAID TIME OFF FROM THEIR WORK to travel to DC. These things are not easy to get done. Unfortunately there is a partisan env now in Senate and the Comp bill's future is uncertain but had that bill been passed in Senate, it would have had amendments that come from nowhere else BUT Immigration voice.

So please be kind to the group and have patience. H4 applicants have a bad situation, but there are some in our membership who have been laid off after 6th year and are looking to go back to India as their current employer would withdraw the pending labor. So these guys are GOING BACK to country of origin along with their H4 SPOUSES. Things could be a lot worse and one should be mindful that everyone has problems in their lives.

thanks.

It would be great if the ppl at Walter Reed who got the flowers speak to the media and tell them that they thank us and they hope USCIS doesnt screw us... if it hasnt already done so..

DO you really think the flowers were delivered at Walter Reed though?

I landed on March 17, 08 and came back the same day to the US using Automatic Visa Revalidation. I had no questions asked either by Canadian or US authorities. When you land the Canadian authorities will staple a piece of paper to your PP as proof of PR until you get the PR card. While re-entering the US I remove that stapled paper as it was very annoying every time you opened the PP. Nobody will question you just because you have a plan B.

Using AVR may seem like using a viable option, but I'm not even sure if it is for me since I don't even have a H1B stamp in my passport (expired or otherwise) since I haven't left the country since I switched from F1 to H1B status. I'll almost certainly have to use AP to return to the US after landing. As per other concerns in this thread, I don't know if the scrutiny to my AP and passport with the Canadian Visa is going to cause issues when I re-enter.

Well there is a lot of media attention already. I've been talking to so many reporters and there was a huge interest in the event.

Tomorrow, there will be a bunch of media people at USCIS to talk about this, yet in the entire DC area, only nixstor is available to go to USCIS.

How can we expect major media to cover us when we are not willing to participate in something that is of benefit to us?

Just started calling.
Started with New Hampshire senators (state where I live). The person from senator Gregg's office interestingly heard to what I said and took my message and details. Said that he would pass it on to the Senator.

The person from senator Sununu's office wasn't bad either.

Sent I-140 and I-485 applications on July 12 and received on July 13.
Received receipt notices on Aug 31 from NSC for my I-485, EAD and AP
For spouse- I-485 and AP.

I am going to complete my 180 days by 1st week of Decemeber. The company I work for, is offering me a Project Manager position. My labor is filed for a programmer. I asked my lawyer and he told me that they sent a email to Florida State Workforce Agency to classify my new position and depending on the reply he tells me that I may or maynot port my labor.
Is anyone in the same boat? Is there any work around? I have been on H1 for 10 years now working for the same company (2 yrs as Contractor and 8 as employee), they have screwed me many times, I just don't want another disappointment. If this does not work, then I guess I have switch another company....

Sent email to 2+10 senators.
