Let me guess. You have a friend or a relative in the H1 que. And this H1 applicant is either getting education in US or is not going to be an employee of a consulting firm.
No. You got me wrong. I have friends filing through consulting firms. You got me wrong completly. Outsourcing/offshoring firms are completely different from Consulting firms. Consulting firms files new h1s and get the people here to work for their clients. This is good to new prople who wants to come here legally, to US busincsses and to everybody (except for anti-immigrants). But Outsourcing/offshoring firms file lot of H1s and do not use them. Thats the problem. If they use, it is not going to be a problem.
Second guess: You have a US degree or you are not working for a conslting firm.
This is also wrong. I don't have any US degree. Also, I am working as Consultant from past 3 years. I worked with different big clients as a conultant. This is how it works in US. Again, Consultancy is different from Outsourcing/offshoring.
Why do you think the spouses on H4 do no deserve H1? If they want to work, why do you think that they should not compete in the job market?
I said they deserve to apply for H1. You got it wrong.
BTW, the companies you are cursing, TCS, Wipro, Satyam etc., it is possible that soon the H1s applied by these companies will be exempt from numercial limit. Yes, you heard me right. Here is a bill that would make companies providing scholarships to undergrad and grad programs to be exempt from H1 numerical count. This is not a joke, read for yourself: :p
I am not agaist the consulting or competition or anybody who wants to work here legally. I am againt the wastage of H1s. Applying them and not using them is a problem. By the way, where was the law to excempt those so called outsourcing firms from numerical H1 cap? Can you please provide the link? If there is one, then there is no chance of reaching cap so fast. No firm is going to waste the money by filing H1 and not allowing them to work is US after getting it except for Outsourcing firms. It is a fact, agree it or not.
H1 cap problem is there in 1990s also before Congress increased the cap to 195K. But it was solved when increased the cap to 195k and we saw so many H1 visas on 2001, 2002, 2003 are un-used. Samethng might happen even now if Congress increases it to 200K. Since we have less visas, everybody tries to grab a slot, But if we have enough visas (200K cap), then nobody is in a hurry to apply like the one happened this year.

No impact on BEC approvals on retrogression, BECAUSE THEY NEED TO GET I-140 to be approved, then only their case to be on the line for visa number. Now no premium processing, their I-140 is going to get approved dring May OR June 2008. Till then the guys with I-140 approved and filed in June 2007 get GC. BEC approvals on 2001, 2002, 2003 cases after june 30th (last date for premium) will be on above catagory.
I agree with you. That's the reason I feel USCIS is just taking time to get their act together and move forward with PD.
I am very doubtful that DOS would open the gates completely next July (like this year) as they had very bad experience. But EB3 dates may move to early 2005 (March 2005 may be - before PERM was launched) and EB2 close to 2006.

Audit response received: April 2008
Reconsideration filed: April 2008
I am not sure what difference it will make by filling a reconsideration instead of an appeal and the time it will take for them to get back on this case :(
Did any of you filied for a reconsideration on a denied perm after audit?

1. Can we move from CA to TX after I-485/EAD/AP is filed from California?
You can move but are you changing employment? If yes, AC21 kicks in only after 180 days after filing 485, assuming 140 is approved.
2. We do have a PO address is Texas now and have an apartment in CA for next 5 months.
Do you recommend to use the Texas PO Box address instead of California Apartment address for USCIS I-485 application such that we can avoid the Change of Address with USCIS later?
Check with lawyer, you can change the address later. But I think your move is too soon, so again check with lawyer.
3. What are RISKS of moving from state to state during I-485 process? Did anyone do that in this forum?
People have done this before but again check with lawyer, your move seems to be too soon

Congrats to all the lucky ones. Enjoy the green freedom. Wish you all the best for your bright future and long life
Best Wishes to all the hopefuls.
I am in waiting game. Hoping against hope to go green.
BTW, today I treid calling USCIS. First the 1st level representative spoke and she straightway created a SR for me and my daughter. Once she finished that part Politely I asked her to transfer to an IO. Luckily without any wait call got connected to an IO. Had very brief conversation with him. He was fixated on my EAD being valid till August 2010, so according to him I don't have to worry about. But I persisted with my line of questions like current status, whether it is pre-adjudicated?, whether all clearances are done etc. Only thing he replied was "Your Case is in REVIEW". I asked him what does review means. His answer was review means review. Our conversation stopped there.
What do you guys think on "Your case is under review"?
Funny!! Thats what they told me also. My case is under review...Looks like a standard response.

There will be so many stuck in namecheck....nobody can be sure that their fortunes will follow even a single one of these predictions...since anyone can land in the blackhole...I WISH WISH WISH we cld do something abt the name check mess!!
From what I hear, Name check is a random sample check, still unfortunate for those who have to go through it, but not all applicants will go through the name check.

I think not only that this is a nice idea, but also that it is a very smart idea.
Everybody knows that there are MANY, MANY immigrants in this Country, and if the GC holders could vote potentially immediately after getting the GC (if it is already 10 years that they are legally in USA) it would be a very strong point, under election, to push a reform of the current law.
I have been a legal immigrant (F1 and H1-B) for the last 9 years, and still waiting for my Labor Certification approval. This means I will become a US citizen after what? 20 years I am legally in this Country? Approximately, yes!
There are lot of support and response for this thread and can Core IV team consider this to be included in their Phase 2 campaign?. It will be an added feature for our to be legal immigrant community. ^^ Bump^^

GC is a future job offer - and at the time of adjucation of 485, u must have a valid job offer. till that date u can stay in the US even without working for any employer but at the time of adjucation u must be employed in a similar position.

Trust me, in the past we knew of some guys who tried to distract the forum attention with proposals of doing somethings in the lines as you have said. Their goal is to distract and divert attention.
First, I am not promising to solve anything. I am just saying that I will bring up the issues when I have my meeting. If this thread is a distraction, then feel free to ignore it.
Second, those who have participated in this forum over the past year know about the issues I was working on.
Third, the forum moderators have my contact information and I have corresponded directly with them (Aman Kapoor). If you don't believe I am who I say I am, feel free to contact the mods.
I am not sure what the point is about "innocent Indians." Does it really matter if I am Canadian? Is this forum restricted to South Asians?

Don’t blame non-contributing members too much. They are also frustrated with the retrogression and wish for a relief. $20/mon is not a big deal for most high skilled professionals. But what if someone didn’t get the message? What if someone doesn’t have a paypal account? There should be some other ways for people to pledge the money and make sure it will be used wisely. I guess the right strategy is how to reach more people with the correct information. Honestly speaking, I don’t know how many of 8400 really got this message.
If there are 200 online users and IV already got 128 contributing members, the percentage looks pretty amazing to me. There will be more, of course, when they get to know this and come to the website, read and understand that they have a chance and also a responsibility to help themselves by doing this.

This question has been posed before but I did not find answers so am posing too: When can one travel safely to India after applying 485?
1) If EAD and AP are filed along with 485, how long will they take to arrive. Service center dates indicate that EAD and AP currently at Jan 07. Does that mean that they are taking over 4 months to issue EAD/AP?
2) There is a an Interim EAD. Is there an interim AP if AP is pending for over 90 days?
3) Is it possible to request EAD/AP at a later time?
4) My H1B is up for reneval in Oct 07. Can I get a 3 year extension on H1, apply for a H1B visa in India and travel back to US on this? Would this be a faster option?
5) When do FP notices typically come out after applying for 485?
6) What is the grace period for FP if one misses the deadline (Is it still 12 weeks? Will the new rule to remove 12 weeks on RFE/NOID have an impact on FP?
7) If you are using an attorney for 485, will all such notices (FP, etc.) go to the lawyer as well. The concern here is that if the notice comes to my home address and I am out of the country then I am liable to miss that appointment.
Please with experience/knowledge, please share your information.
Regards.
