Maybe we can use the H-1 B reform bill, to recapture unused visas during the last many years. Make H-1 B tough but at the same time, release those green card numbers. Carrot and Stick approach.
You are correct.
Reform H1-B
1)Make H1-B independent of employer. THis way all these PIMPS (desi consulting companies) don't exploit us.
2)Make Green card independent of employer. Give green card if your period of employement in US is > some years (UK style)
3)Make H1-B processing times to mere days and make it stricter where in genunire companies apply (not desi dalals or shitholes like infosys,tcs,wipro, satyam)
3)THe above thing is most improtant since it gives H1-B to genuinine companies or not some fake expeirence guy sitting in a famous city in India
4)Please really scrutinise L1s. They are the one who are responsible for lower salaries and taking the jobs away from USA to India.

I agree. Its the channel Osama uses anyways. Lou Dog (sp?? CNN smart Ass) will go bananas.
Any thoughts?
No disrespect to Al-Jazeera. But putting our story on that channel is not a good idea. People view anything on it with lot of suspicion, and Fox news interprets everybody Al-Jazeera sympathizes with as you know what.
Don't come after me for saying this, its not my opinion. But general opinion that I have observed from people who are not well informed(read majority of people). Lets focus on the main stream media in US, outside coverage is not that significant anyway.

In essence what the memo seems to state is that I can have another employer file an I-140 petition, and if approved, simply substitute the I-140 in my existing I-485.
Is that right?

It is possible to use your new approved 140(EB2). Your date are current and do request USCIS and go in front of GC line. Good luck.
You can request USCIS with reference to this citation/pdf.

Everyone, Gandhigiri is a great idea. I had my skepticism initially but this is working great. Ignore cynics like Smitha. Just encourage more to send flowers.
Emilio responded because of guilt. He just could not sit tight. That is the power of this Gandhigiri. Soon more an more people in Govt will sit up and notice. Keep the momentum going. Hats off to the person who started and sustained this campaign.....

How many times in this thread I have mentioned that I am getting replaced by one of these L-1B resource, I am a poor Oracle/DB developer who fortunately cannot be replaced by L-1B visa resources (as my skills is a common technical one). So once these violations impact your day to day life you look around for ways to stop this fraud. Its true that if I was a Nuero Surgeon in Phily or a Astro Scientist in Houston I wouldn't be interested in this violation :-) .... tomorrow let this scenario happen to you ... you would be first one to raise the alert.
Regarding 'getting burnt', I don't think there is bigger burn than loosing our jobs (which already is happening) and hope you know that there is something called 'anonymity'... ya lets see whos going to get 'burnt' here. We'll definetly keep you updated regarding the outcome.
l1fraud,
I sympathize with you. If your job is getting impacted by this, you have every right to complain.
On a friendly note, you need to upgrade your skill. You cannot survive on just oracle/db development.

Its a little hard to understand how the issue of 'work authorization' cannot be raised during interview or hiring process.
The details escapes me... at some point in the long past I was looking into what kind of questions employers should and shouldn't ask. If I come across anything again then I will surely post.
As far as EAD is concerned, the employers shouldn't discriminate. Especially if more than 90 days are left on it since that's the time-frame govt promises to issue a new EAD. The employer might feel better to work with a citizen or GC or a person of certain ethnic background or national origin. However, thats the kind of decisions the employer is not allowed to make. Employer has to accept EAD, everything else being equal. When the law is not followed and it harms us, we have to fight it back.
I realize employers sometime end up asking questions that they shouldn't like the obvious ones such as age and marital status.

You must be kidding me if you cannot make out the difference between an approval and an RFE. It clearly states "Your Case Status: Decision"... What more do you want?
I was wondering why the status went backwards (from CPO to Decision) and if that that is a normal process.
Thanks,

[QUOTE=eyeswe;960064]I asked this question several times on all the threads that are discussing the new USCIS data, but no one seems to be answering this, but I think it is important to make sure this wrinkle is sorted out...
When they say inventory of 485 apps.. by any chance does it mean only the 485 that has been pre-adjudicated? I wish that was not the case.. but these numbers are too small to believe otherwise.. I hope one of the doctors in USCIS VB Theory (and I know there are a whole lot of them here on this forum) can sort this doubt quickly by throwing some nice logic.. But I would like to hear that so I am convinced with the quality of thi spread sheet.

Agreed. These numbers do not seem to be real load. At the time of July Fiasco as per USCIS's own notification total more than 250000 EB based 485 were filed and more than 350000 family based 485 were filed.I am quoting this based on memory so it may be possible that this quot is not 11% accurate may have some variation at that time but it is not completely wrong.

I would like a second opinion on the below comments from my attorney:
1. On the 131 the last page (having signatures) has this question:
On a separate sheet(s) of paper, please explain how you qualify for an advance parole document and what circumstances warrant
issuance of advance parole. Include copies of any documents you wish considered.
[Atorney's reply] not relevent to your application leave it blank.
Do you think it is not relevant if I am filing for Advanced payroll...
2. 325 PART 3 B and also EAD Question on 765- For my spouse, the A# - Should this be filled up from her last EAD card (vald from 2003-2005 when she was on L2) OR left blank.?
[attorney reply] BLANK
any comments ?? If my wife had an EAD even though not valid, should that not be mentioned?
3. I asked my attorney for copy of the final documents submitted to USCIS and I was told that they do not share the cover letter the attorney writes up. Other forms, I can print online (they have a database after fnal corrections).
Upon asking for the employment letter they submit, I was told that I should request from my employer?
Any comments??
4. If I get RFEs or I need to use AC21 in the future, what all do I need from the 485 application that would help me if I do not decide to use my law firm?
I do have the 140 approval copy (1 page) and details of the labor skills, title and salary and not the actual labor copy that was submitted for 140 approval.

This needs to be advertised on the forums here or on the home page. Most people don't know what IV's expenses are.
A generic breakdown of costs, without going into specifics, would help members understand the expenses and provide some transparency.
It may even motivate new members to contribute more :)

Hi!
My name on the birth certificate is "girl". What should I do correct it. I was reading on the forums, that we can get a written statement saying that the name was not decided when I was born. And submit that along with high school mark sheets etc. Are there any other things that could rectify this error.

Hi Ron,
My Priority date is Jan 2004, EB3-India category and i have an approved I-140 and have applied my 485 during July 07. I have sent my EAD and AP for renewal which expire in last week of September. My spouse is in EB2-India having pd Dec 2005, also applied I-485 (140 is approved) during July 07 and has applied for EAD and AP renewal, which expire in last week of October. We both applied independently and are using our H1bs and not EAds.
Since my spouse's PD is going to be current in August 2008, I was planning on applying for a second 485 as a dependent on my spouse's application.
I know that two 485 applications causes issues. I want your recommendation and also will my application affect my wife's processing time or create issues for her.
Thanks,
Kaushik
Ron's reply -
You don't need to file a new I-485. Make the CIS aware of your spouse's case and your eligibility under it as a dependent. Ask them to cross reference to the two cases.
You can follow this thread in the following link - http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5689
Also has anyone tried this approach and Also does anyone has expeirence being Ron's client?

Finally, we got the approval emails for self & wife.
I had got an email from TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov last friday (09/17/2010) with the update below-
1: The review was complete
2: Visa numbers were requested 2 months ago and all security/prints are current
3: Files have been forwarded to officers for completion.
In my case the email to SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov helped a lot. They in turn sent an email to TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov to step up the processing.
As others have mentioned IV has played a big part throughout this journey. Thank you again.
Congratulations Ski_dude.....I am so happy for you.....I am happy that your agony is over......

I think Vonage will offer this free International calling for few months till it meets its target of new subscribers and then start charging per minute later on or in an indirect manner.
Once the new charges come into force the happy subscribers will not be able to cancel the service immediately due to cancellation charges and moreover since all other providers will be more of the same, Vonage wud then retain most of the customers
what say thou?
If they change the "contract" you agreed to initially - then you have every right to get out of the contract without any termination fees. It may take some arguing with the CS - but I know some people who have done this successfully with telephone companies like Verizone/Sprint etc when they changed some inconsequencial T&C.
