How about sending 100 thousand roses to WHITE HOUSE on the same day?
I am in for Gandhigiri. I remember we celebrate aniversaries of the success we had when we did this 1st time and only time. Its time we do it again.
I know many people whose cases are ready to be adjucated are keeping a silent note core members or others, and they will become active again when numbers become unavailable.. which makes sense like in many cases. What will you do if your date is current.. be very hopeful for hearing the good news.. and not try to get ANY attention, . right.. Sorry if I hurt anyone,. but what are we waiting for.. economy to pick up??.
But I know many people out there are not even close to or hopeful if the numbers become current.. LETS DO IT. We request IV core to come forward and start a campaign. Please help.
The below is from immigration-law.com and they too feel that priority #1 doesnt mean others have to sleep.. Please act fast.
02/11/2009: Three More Private Bills Introduced in the House 02/10/2009
As we reported earlier, failure of the Congress to fix the broken immigration system apparently induces members of the Congress to introduce private bills almost every day in session. We admit that under the current environment of historical economic crisis and rising unemployment, economic stimulus and financial bailout should be the top priority for the government's agenda. However, it does not mean that the other important parts of the nation's policies should remain on hold. We have learned a lesson from the past eight years that leaders' total obsession with only one agenda, "war," led to neglecting of almost all other parts of the country's policies and people's life , including deteriorating economic competitiveness, education, healthcare, arts, etc. and the country is now paying its price. Look at the state of our country's education. Priority in policies should not mean that all other important nation's agenda should remain in standstill.

I don't have the stats right in front of me, but it is my impression that except for a few odd years (FY06 comes to mind), EB-1 did not max out its numbers. Using EB-1 for L-1 executives is a relatively new idea.
This is the EB1 the usage for the last 14 years
06 = 36,960
05 = 64.731
04 = 31,291
03 = 14,544
02 = 34,452
01 = 41,801
00 = 27,706
99 = 14,898
98 = 21,408
97 = 21,810
96 = 27,501
95 = 17,339
94 = 21,053
93 = 21,114
The limit was at least 40.040 for each FY. In FY 06 it was 41,170. As you can see the limit has been reached twice in the last 14 years.

I'm surprised that with a November 2001 PD that you are getting an interview already, since EB-3 is still retrogressed--EB3 world is only at July 1 2001 for June 2006
The PD fot EB3 is April 07 2001 I think. Anyway.... there should not be a cause for concern. The reason you got an AOS interview is that USCIS is adjudicating cases pending Visa availability. If there had been a concern then there would have been another RFE on it. You should be happy that some progress has taken place.
Cheers!!!!!!

Agree with the OP. This is an immigration forum. Random thoughts and observations that have nothing to do with immigration dont really belong here. There are many other discussion forums available where politics, sports etc can be discussed.

Hi all ,
Me and my husband are planning india trip in jun or july this year for 2-3 weeks.We both need to get our visas stamped in New Delhi .
We are short on time and our native places are far .So to save time and keep the window for passport arrival if approved or any problems ,postal delays..I was thinking to get visa-interview-date the day we land to delhi.
So here is the probelm,travelling with heavy bags ,international baggage is unsafe and difficult.
What would be the travel tips ?
Our plan is-
1.To stay in some hotel in delhi the day we land( if we reach in evening) and go to stamping next day.
Where to stay? Should we go to consulate with all international luggageand directly travel for native or keep in hotel room, come back later for it ,is it safr options?
Traveeling is also difficult
2.Then for there on ,what transport ,bus,delux bus,train ,or flight to take to chandigarh.
what ever is easiest for us ?
For regular bus(i know is pretty fast,5-6 hrs) ,we have to go to ISBT and keep lugaage on top of bus...i dont know about seats...availability .
For deluxe, never travelled so need tips.
Or better to take train ,go to railway station.
I dont know if domestic flgihts allow that much of baggage option, do they allow international luggage ,something like through checkin.
Please throw in your valuable suggestions to make our trip easy and better usage of time.

Friends,
I have Canada PR since October 2006. In October this year I will complete 3 years since landing in Canada. The rule to maintain PR is that one should live in Canada for at least 2 years in a 5 year period. Since I have not lived in Canada more that a couple of weeks since landing, will I be allowed to move to Canada after completing 3 years outside Canada or will I be sent back from the border? Has anyone moved to Canada after living outside for more than 3 years since landing? Please advise.
Thanks.
At the end of expiry of the PR card that you get, you will need to renew it. At that time you need to show that you stayed for 2 years in Canada and when you cant show you lose the
PR and cannot renew the PR card.

and researched by Pappu himself. Check the archives in the last 30 days.
bottomline: its a gray area and no one is sure. There is no law against doing it, some lawyers recommend it (Rajiv Khanna), others discourage as it could confuse USCIS and cause delays (Murthy) yet others say its simply not allowed.

I feel sorry for your situation, and I know how difficult it is, because I am pretty much on the same boat (I mean, we have a newborn too, 4 weeks old). Except, I recently lost my job and got some severance pay for February. Plus, I took advantage of the law and collected some money from my employer for the return ticket. I ask them to pay cash rather than buying me the actual ticket. So, I do have some time to breath.
I am actively looking for a job right now, and the only thing happening is the meetings with the recruiters every so often. If you call a recruiter, they will obviously want to see you in person before they submit your resume. Time goes by so fast, it�s been a month already, no client interviews yet.
But, I do see some positions open for my skill set, it�s not so dry. So, I haven�t lost my hope yet.
Anyway, I�ve decided not to look for a H1 sponsor anymore, because it is going to be a total waste of time in this tough economy. I�m only looking to use my EAD. I�m ready to relocate, if the job is in a different location. I�ve also decided to take a pay cut, if at all necessary.
So, that�s my side of the story�
BTW, if you have made up your mind to go back to your home country, why can�t you take advantage of the unemployment benefits? Some states like Massachusetts even pay your COBRA premiums when you apply for unemployment. Because, that will give you some more time to survive.
I hope you will find a job pretty soon. Good luck and take care of the newborn.
God bless the Jobless!!!
>>Looks like you are on EAD. Are you still finding it difficult to find a job?
If I am on H1, I could have already packed my bags.
Here is the temporary crisis for me.
With out a job, cash is running out. Needs to pay attention to my newborn. getting interviews are tough. hopefully something comes in another 1,2 moths.

Go online, change ur address on record with INS/DHS and also for any pending INS petition u have curently.
dont have any fears like "oh if i change now will it screw up my on going...". nothing -ve will happen. worst ive heard is - something gets returned back to INS, you make a phone call and remind bout address change u have already done, and in 2 weeks they resend the doc to new address.
its the law, and they have made it damn easy for u to follow; so just do it.
if u want example - i myself moved 20 days ago, did online addr change. i had applied for ead renewal in may, INS sent ead card to my new address only...so the system works...i also know 3 other 485 cases where address chg was done, they had no prob receivng GC at the new addresses, no -ve affect.
thanks

Whether they IO at Port of Entry asked anything about your H1B Visa?
Nopes, in my case the officer was polite and just asked what my previous status was, to which I said "H1". I asked him if I will lose my H1 status when I enter on AP and he said yes, which was true as your new visa status becomes "Parolee". You can still work on H1 without using EAD, which is what I am doing now.
Its ok and legal to use your AP to travel back. See this recent Murthy Bulletin http://murthy.com/mb_pdf/032108_P.html
I still don't have an answer to my original question, anybody ?

I emailed some of our core members. I hope they can take out some time to deal with these rouge elements tomorrow. In Hindi they say- Asteen Ka Saanp ( snake in your sleeve) for this kind of behavour from USINPAC
I agree with you 100%. I think Anti-Immigrants like NumbersUSA and Tom Tancredo is better than USINPAC. For Anti-immigrants atleast we know where they stand and we know what to expect from them. usinpac is the worst kind of disease for the community where they can trick you anytime and you will not even know when they are stabbing you at your back. They just want to do photo-ops and claim the credit for the things they didn't even know. I live in VA and most people in Indian community in northern VA know about the inside story of these scamster. Initially a few lawmakers got the impression that usinpac represent the Indian American community, maybe that is what the con-artist at this org conveyed to a few lawmakers. Now everybody in DC area, including the lawmakers, know the truth about this group. A journalist friend in MD told me that even press and reporters know about this totally useless org called usinpac.
It is one thing if they do something and then claim credit for doing it. The problem is first of all they claim to represent entire Indian American community; on top of that they do not do anything about the any issue including green card issue. But when they see something happening they will try to take ownership of anything moving and will try to make a show that things are moving because of them. Just as in this case, all the members of IV sent flowers and these guys are releasing press release to tell to the world that they are the once doing this drive. Such press release from them is extremely damaging as the basic intent of the ENTIRE flower campaign was o draw media attention. In this case usinpac did not spare all the people spending days and nights to coordinate, Nixtor and English_august and thousands of people who sent flowers. How can someone stoop so low? Now they want to get media attention and that is why they have sneaked in this press release. IV core must come clean on this and clearly renounce these consistent immature acts of these con-artists. This org with extremely bad reputation and we must stay as far away from them as possible.

Just me doing the translation will do? And how do I demonstrate the "competence" to do that? :rolleyes:
And yes, I am totally new to IV. The way it has been effective, I will surely contribute...
Even I had considered the idea of translating the BC myself or getting my friend to do it for me...but my lawyer suggested that BC is a very important document and USCIS is very particular about it. so it would be better if you get it done through a professional agency.

Hi,
I am in a similar position, but slight variations.
H1B from Jul 2003. Already on 7th year extension which expires in Oct 2010. My Priority date is Jun 2007 and I-140 is already approved but, I could not apply for I-485 in Jul 2007 window.
I have the following questions.
1. Can I change a job ? If so, for how long will the H1-B be valid.
2. If the H1-B is valid, can the USCIS reject the application if the my current employer decides to revoke the I-140.
3. If I-140 is revoked, is there is possibility to port the priority date or will it be an entirely new priority date based on new application.
I have been getting conflicting opinions from different people. A particular immigration lawyer I consulted adviced me against a job change, though I might get a new 3 year H1B, he feared CIS might revoke it if I-140 is revoked (it is quiet clear my employer will revoke the I-140). Is there any guidance/cases regarding the same from CIS ?
Thanks very much for your advice.
Much appreciated.

I am working in Company A and currently on OPT. My 2008 H1visa has been approved. It will be effective on Oct.1st. Now I got a much better job offer from company B, and need to join the new company in July. How can I transfer my H1 visa? Thanks a lot in advance. By the way, I can work on OPT for any employer before Oct 1st.
Is it not that three contineous salary slips (on prev. H-1B employment) required for filing H-1B by new employer?
If such changeover is allowed, it it not misuse of system? People have applied multiple H-1B due to lottery. If this is allowed, people can easily move to the employer they wanted without going through the USCIS approved employer.
And I have been hearing that there are many employers ready to file H1B if you pay them cash.

First of all you are not supposed to involve in any of the PERM process. Its plain illegal. It seems you are taking the wrong route for your porting.
I know but when there is a chance, we must make sure. Who told u that always works.
They advertise in the company's message board and recently I have seen they did not mention anything about qualifications for one EB2 GC of my friend.
Hence I got a doubt.
Again,
Is it a must that education like MS or equivalent experience is needed for EB2. Please let me know.
