Not to discourage any one but , my understanding from this forum is nothing with respect to RETROGRESSION and THUS OF SKILLED PEOPLE LEAVING THE SHORES will be done in the Lame duck session.

I wish some one prove me wrong and let us know if there is any new news.


Hello ,

It is unrealistic to expect something to happen with out participation. My sincere REQUEST to "YOU" all is


i) BECOME A MEMBER : If you are guest and visiting this site to know about retrogression and your self waiting for a green card and stuck due to retrogression, become a member and participate the forum.

ii)TELL YOUR FRIENDS : If you are member and have not told about this forum to your other retrogression stuck friends/collegues, please do so.

iii) CONTRIBUTE : if you are a member, and have not contributed, please think of contributing

iv) PARTICIPATE : participate this forum more actively with your comments.

It has been the appeal of IV core team MANY times for i), ii) & iii) above.

Also I have seen on many web sites related to green cards, it is suggested to come forward and let know your problems .. Things otherwise, may not happen magically.

Friends on the forum, who think likewise and IV team, please add/correct my comments.

I am working in US on L1A visa expiring in November 2010 (completing 7 years). The Visa with whom I am working are not processing my GC. Before changing my Visa to L1A, I had H1B which is expired now. So I am applying for PERM through another employer. This employer/attorney is going to file for Labor in one or two months. What are the chances of my Labor and I-140 getting approved before December 2010? If my Labor got approved by December 2010, Can I switch to the employer who has applied for PERM and continue staying in US? Are there any options? Please advice. Thanks for your time.

2) Explain why you leave at the following address( XYZ�.) and your spouse lives in ABC address.
..........

I hope that you are aware of the rule that AR-11 (change of address) must be filed within 10 calendar days of physical move.

Does it mean that if she graduates before the I-485 is approved, she cannot work? Or can she accept employment on the green card EAD even though the I-140/I-485 are pending. What will be her status during that period?

Hello,
I will be getting married to a H1 holder in India and because of the time involved in obtaining a marriage certificate, am planning to leave shortly after the wedding with my existing B2/tourist visa. What are my options of applying for a H4 once I do that - would I have to come back to India to apply for that, or can it be done from Canada/Mexico - are there any risks pertaining to intent of travel associated with such an action. Thanking you in advance for valuable help in this matter!

You would be better off stamping your H4 in India, my 2 cents. Especially B1/B2 to any non-immigrant visas most of the time is a mess in my opinion.

The LCA was only filed last week (01/18)...

Hi guys,

My PD is current and my I-140 approved. I received below RFE on my pending I-485 related to my name listed differently on documents.

RFE words are listed below.

NAME DIFFERENCE:
Submit documentary evidence to establish that Pravin Bhalla, Pravinkumar Bhalla and Praveenkumar Bhalla are the same person. The most persuasive evidence is photo identification in each name. If the last name is different due to marriage, submit the marriage certificate. Note: Affidavits will not be considered primary evidence.

I don't have a lawyer for my I-485. Any help on how to answer this REF will be great help.

Thank you in advance for your response.

eb2 requires bachelors plus 5 years experience or masters plus 0 years
the experience must be gained prior to joining the gc filing employer if presently working for that employer

The job description determines the EB2 eligibility - what are the requirements mentioned on the job desc?

Hi Friends,

I just want to say, I just contributed $100 (Confirmation Number: 2XJ23352J19006734) and this is my first contribution ever and have done it just for IV. And am very proud about this.

I came to know about IV, 2 weeks ago when I heard of the flower campaign from my friend . We are very fortunate to have IV with us and thousands of users in IV helping each other.

I am sure with out IV initiative , it would have been very hard to achieve what we got now. Thousands of people benefited as per yesterdays USCIS bulletin and thousands of people visiting IV every day for help. So please, lets show our gratitude to IV by contributing either one time payment or recurring. If atleast who ever benefited by July 17th bulletin contributes to IV, we can easily make $100k in July.

Lets celebrate our success by contrubuting to IV and making July2007 as the highest contributed month in IV history.

If I can do it, you can do it .

Thanks

Wow, This is good to know that at POE they can allow to stay more than the visa expiry date. Thanks.

Hello,
I will be getting married to a H1 holder in India and because of the time involved in obtaining a marriage certificate, am planning to leave shortly after the wedding with my existing B2/tourist visa. What are my options of applying for a H4 once I do that - would I have to come back to India to apply for that, or can it be done from Canada/Mexico - are there any risks pertaining to intent of travel associated with such an action. Thanking you in advance for valuable help in this matter!

You would be better off stamping your H4 in India, my 2 cents. Especially B1/B2 to any non-immigrant visas most of the time is a mess in my opinion.

you are ok. You only needed to get married anytime before your I-485 is approved.

BTW that is a funny title for the thread "single and then married". Most of us are indeed single before we get married :)

Hello Everyone,

Here is my situation:

1) My 6 years H1B with Company-A ends Sept 2011
2) I-140 approved and my priority date is Aug 2006.
3) Company-B(end client) offered a full-time position starting Jan 2010.

What are my options? My questions are:
1) Will I be eligible to extend my H1B with Company-B for another 3 years? Do I need a I-140 with Company-B to extend?
2) Is it possible to use the labor and I-140, that I filed when I was with Company-A, to file for I-485? If I can, can I file the I-485 independent of Company-A? Do I need any kind of approval or paper work from Company-A?
3) When Company-B sponsors my GC is it possible to port the priority date? Do I need to restart the whole GC process again with Company-B?

I am really confused. Please help.

(1) You can transfer your H1B for company B up to Sep 2011, but cannot extend it.
(2) Assuming you have not filed your I-485, you can not use labor/I-140 of company A. A fresh Labor and I-140 will be required.
(3) Priority date will be ported from your original application with company A

u can file but u have to join the petition filing employer once u get GC or otherwise it will be fraud.

smuggymba nailed it. If you never worked for your GC emp its fraud and will create issues during Naturalization.

Some online news said about the proposed EB-6 visa (start-up visa bill) is to get $250,000 funding from US investor into your business and create 5 jobs or 1 Million dollars in profits within 2 years, then the entreprenur will be granted the US green card.

No profits will be guaranteed in any kind of business. Personally I do think this EB-6 visa is very very difficult to work because it is NOT easy to find someone to invest those big sum of money into your business during this great economic recession. So I am thinking about why don�t give out green cards to international students who have advanced degree in Science & Medicine regardless of whether those students have a US job offer or not. It is because immigration of those international students lead to the inflow of knowledge and money to US and it will indirectly increase the US reputation and uplift the US economy. I do believe the inflow of knowledge and money are keys for immigration which are welcomed by all other countries in this world. Since those international students are trained by US and they are familiar with the US surroundings, therefore, I do think the inflow of money for immigration should be brought back to US. Also, if US absorb those inflow of knowlegable groups for immigration, US will become more and more famous in the world leadership of Science and Innovations. All rich and knowlegeable groups will be concentrated in US for world leadership. Moreover, those international students will buy houses, cars, computers and set up their own business for daily living and these will indirectly uplift the retail buying power and consequently uplift the US economy. In addition, more relatives or friends from those international students will be indirectly invited as visitors to US and these will increase the profits of the retail business, hotel reservations, restaurant business and airline tickets reservation. Also, those students established the companies to US will hire 1-5 persons and these will create job opportunities in US. All those inflow of money will bring tremendous monetary income to US economy.

For those poor people who want to immigrate to US, we can give him a chance either to start up a business on their own to hire 1-5 persons or to invest a small to medium sum of money to those advanced degree graduates� business. Finally more jobs created, more people visit US for tourism and more money inflow for better US economy!!

here are the visa numbers used in 2006 for EB2 and EB3.


EB-2: India(3,720), China(3,347), Canada(1,248)

EB-3 Skilled: Mexico(6,766), Korea(4,375), Philippines(4,114), Ecuador(3,747), Brazil(3,670), Poland(3,230), India(3,006), China(2,477), Pakistan(2,091)

Assuming there are atleast 300K Indians waiting for visa numbers in the EB2 + EB3 category (including dependents) and 6726 out of them were covered last year, we will have to wait for just another 44 years and 7 months to get an immigrant visa number. LOL
If everything goes well as planned atleast GC is assured for our children ( for some like me - grand children) .

I happen to hear that its more easy to convert from L1 visa to Green card .Is it something that the employer has to initiate ? Can we start the process by ourselves.

please shed some light on this.
Thanks
