I am currently on H1B visa. My understanding is that as long as my H1B is thru my employer it is perfectly legal to start/buy/partner in a company .... as long as I do not withdraw a pay check from that company. Furthermore, as long as I am maintaining my legal status thru my American employer, it would be legitimate to sponsor an H1 for my wife, hire her in the company I own. If some one could clarify ..... is my understanding flawed ? Please provide examples/experiences. Any relevant input would be great.
Another related question was if I change my status after starting my company to F1 .... would that be fine ? Or after I change my status to F-1, would it be fine to start my own firm/company/partnership/practice (PA/LLC/PLLC) and then transfer my wife's H-1 B in this newly created entity. FYI .... This new entity would be perfectly legitimate PA/LLC/PLLC with solid revenues/earnings/5-10 american employees .... and my wife would be fully qualified to work in this entity as a highly compensated employee providing US govt with a lot of taxes .... all done by my savings AND/OR bank loans.
On another note, if I change my status to H4(dependent on my wife's H1) instead of F1, would the same hold good. My wife's full time H1 B would be thru an american employer. My PA/LLC/PLLC just sponser her part time H1 (2nd H1) .... you guessed it .... to start her permanent residency process. FYI .... Both of us are waiting for priority dates to get current to file I-485 .... both of us have I-140 approved from our respective employers as of now. This is an attempt to get out of their yoke and gain freedom as much as possible in these trying circumstances.
Gurus, your expert opinion would be invaluable. Please comment.
As per my understanding you cannot own a company while on H1.

Is there a system in place, for TSC ONLY, using which, an immigration attorney, who is an AILA member, can send an email, with LIN numbers (or A #, i am not sure which), to TSC, if the PD is current? Once this email is received, the system flags the case to be picked up by an IO?
This system was put in place a couple of years ago, but I am not sure if it is still active, or if it is active, does TSC even bothers monitoring it.
Thank you for the answer. I dont have any attorney. I did whole GC process by myself.

This is a great suggestion, and thinking ahead is the name of the game!
I guess after Dual CitizenShip now in operation majority people might be interested in Citizenship and why not avail those benefits US passport is welcome in 3/4 of the world, for all the people who have travelled knows how cumbersome immigration procedures are in various countries.
Anyway Phase 2 suggestion of lobbying for including the the number of years of leagally living here in the citizenship count and getting an "option" of becoming a citizen when GC is issued would be great (because most people who have applied there GCs have been here atleast 5 years :))
The Guys who already have GC should also support this idea as they will be benifited by this as well.
good going!

My dauther is 22 years and 8 month old.
We have not received an official notification from CIS yet, but she is aged-out according to the way the formula is applied.
I started my case (EB-3) with DOL in Sep.08,05 when she was 20 and a half years old; My I-140 was approved on Aug.02,05. I had to wait almost 1 year for a visa. On Jul.2,07 I sent I-485s and I-765s. We have received the Work Permits and the apointment notices for the biometrics for each member of my family, including my daughter.
I live in Falls Church, Virginia, so I went to Jim Moran's office (my House representative) to explain my case, how the CSPA fails and ask him to request CIS to apply the law in a different way (I would say in the right way). I talked to one of his staffers but he said that the law is very clear about the time the case is considered in process (only considers the time the I-140 was in process). As you know, CSPA does not consider the time in DOL nor the time waintg for a visa (retrogression).
Also my daughter has talked to Senator Webb and he wanted to know how many cases are beeing affected, particularly in Virginia, to see if there are several cases, then something can be done.
I was wondering if any one has heard about any change on CSPA and if someone know where can I find how many cases are being affected by this nightmare or if someone has started something to have this law be doing the right thing: to protect children and families.
Thanks for your help
I have no idea how we can find out how many people are in this situation. From this site alone I think there are probably 'several' of us who would love to share our stories with Jim Moran's office. Surely where we live should make no difference since immigration law is fixed at the federal level.
I had to wait three and a half years for my labor cert. My son was 18 when it was applied for. I never imagined he would age out. Shows how naive I was with regard to the long labor backlog caused by the 245i mini amnesty of 2001.
I would be happy to share my case, for certain. It is refreshing to have a legislative office that seem interested and not just give their standard useless replies.

The three days were packed with drama - Like any good drama, this too had it's moments of tension, action, and humor....the funniest one was:
Right before the rally when Aman was EXTREMELY busy, he actually had 30 seconds for each reporter. Our sweet little Jane walks up to him and asks "Aman where are my clothes?"
Aman had the funniest expression on his face :confused:
Here is the background : All of us had stayed in the same hotel and at the check out time we had kept out luggage in the baggage room. Aman had the tags of Jane's bags and Jane thought that Aman would get her luggage @ the rally!
Guys u had to be there - It was hilarious:D:D:D:D

Ha Ha Ha . This was hilarious. Could not stop laughing....

I will answer some of your questions to the best of my knowledge.
There is also a lot of information on advocacy on the top of this page, 'Advocacy' tab.
Red threads are action items started and approved by admin/core. donor threads say "donor forum" on the title.
Admins are still in the process of organizing, and a lot of this can be done only once we finalize most of the volunteers and donations collected - it will depend on this.
Contributions are optional and no money is expected from volunteers, except what you spend for your own stay and travel. Of course every one knows There ain't no such thing as a free lunch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_ain%27t_no_such_thing_as_a_free_lunch). people still do wish though!
The only free lunch is meeting your local lawmakers as they are obliged to listen to your issues. That is the only thing we have asked most people to do in large numbers
Business dress code should be good enough. We are trying to convey we are high skilled immigrants and future entrepreneurs who create jobs.
You're right most lawmakers don't even know we have a problem and the reason is we as a community are not reaching out to them. Representatives of house change every 2 years.
Thanks for your efforts. Employer support is very important in conveying our issues. Large companies have their own political lobbying group. Support of citizens and Green card holders helps a lot.
We still need a lot of volunteers all over the country, who are ready to work and not just post brilliant ideas on online forums.
Everyone has to work and spread information. Its no good saying why doesn't core do this or that and everything else.
Dear All,
First of all I am pleased to inform you that I will certainly attend the advocacy campaign. This will be my first participation. I am eager and hope to make it. I have also started making travel / stay arrangements.

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?

Stupid thought: can USCIS sell spillover visas at premium (say $5k or $10k) rather than distributing them in a socialistic way :D .. even @ $5k, USCIS will gain $200 million in 2010 itself :) And this selling be based purely on Priority Date, neither on the category of EB nor on country. Purely Priority-Date based - just straight out to tackle retrogression overall.

Hi Anshal,
Please check this CSPA clause (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=eab41f5a63d3c7d15b9d34a8c70b7 fb0) (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=eab41f5a63d3c7d15b9d34a8c70b7 fb0)
"(5) Visa Availability Date Regression . If a visa availability date regresses, and an alien has already filed a Form I-485 based on an approved Form I-130 or Form I-140, USCIS should retain the Form I-485 and note the visa availability date at the time the Form I-485 was filed. Once the visa number again becomes available for that preference category, determine whether the beneficiary is a “child” using the visa availability date marked on the Form I-485. If, however, an alien has not filed a Form I-485 prior to the visa availability date regressing, and then files a Form I-485 when the visa availability date again becomes current, the alien’s “age” should be determined using the subsequent visa availability date."
Speak to your attorney and post his/her views please.
Thanks,
