Did we ever think about forming a team with other like minded people under one banner? I think we will be able to effect something if all Pro CIR people join hands together and pool our resources. Any suggestions??
Good idea! here is why it won't work
AILA sees 11 milllion clients at their door step, so they support more of CIR which mostly favours illegals
Compete America is more towards corporate interest, they will be happy if they get more H1Bs, they do support more EB green cards, but I don't think itz their top agenda
IV is formed by guys who are really victims, so we know whatz in our best intrest, none of other groups are not victims they just want to take advantage of current situation
never the less their policy do align with ours , so I am sure IV core members are in touch with these organization and work them more closly

Hi,
I'm on L1B and wife on L2B with EAD and currently working. Both are expiring on Dec 30,2010. I got my H1 with COS, which is effective from Oct 01,2010 for 1 year and my wife got H4, effective from same time. My wife's company is filing for H1 for her and has already applied for LCA. After the LCA, they are not sure whether to apply for COS from L2 to H1 before Oct 1st or if they want to wait till Oct 1st and then file for new H1 with COS from H4 to H1. In the second case, she will not be able to work till she gets her H1.
Also if they file for H1 before Oct 1st with L2 to H1 COS, and if she gets RFE, then not sure whether the whole application is invalid as my wife's status would have changed from L2 to H4 during the course.
Please advice my options. Is it OK if her company file for new H1 with COS from L2 to H1 as soon as her LCA get approved with premium processing? Is it going to be a problem if she gets RFE?
Or is it adviseable to continue to be on L1/L2 till she gets H1? If yes, how can I change my status back to L1 before Oct 1st 2010? Can my company do it me? How long the process will take? I also heard that if I go abroad and come back, I will continue to be on L1. In that case should my wife acccompany me? Do I have to go out and re enter before Oct 1st?
If I change my status back to L1, what will happen to my H1? Will it still be valid? If I'm planning to change to a different company, can it be just transferred to that company and I can work there?
Please help.
Thanks

I visited the country first ~8 yrs ago as a visitor. I got a job offer from a desi company and they filed for my H1. I was never informed about status of the H1 petition. I was informed I am in status and it was OK to stay longer than the time allowed by my I-94 (in a visitor status).
In the process, I ended up staying about 10 days longer, but then I returned to India, and came back after a couple of months, again as a visitor.
Now I'm on a H1B (8th year) with I-140 approved, but haven't traveled at all, and would like to get a visa issued/stamped in my passport.
I have since lost touch with that employer and they don't seem to be in business any more, nor can the owner be contacted.
I recently learnt from someone that the petition was in fact approved.
I called USCIS, and I was told the employer who filed the petition can file a form (I-824?) to get a duplicate copy, but they need to attach a copy of the original as proof!! *Or I can file a request under Freedom of Information Act*, they're not sure how long that'll take to get processed.
Questions:
1) Will the overstay become a problem? I do not have any documentation of the filing/status/approval of the H1 petition filed at that time.
2) How else can I get a copy of the Approval Notice to prove I wasn't out of status during the less than 2 weeks of overstay about 8 years ago?
3) Will this become a problem with my I-485 (whenever that will be filed with a PD of early 2006)?
Thanks,
Jazz

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
The Senators are coming, the Senators are coming! That's right, the Senate is debating the DHS Appropriations bill right now, and immigration amendments are being offered. I blogged about the Sessions E-Verify proposal yesterday. Well bill, that passed by voice vote this morning, but not before the Senate voted down a proposal from Senator Schumer to table the Sessions proposal. Senator Leahy, in an astute move prior to the vote on Sessions' E-Verify bill, amended that bill to include a permanent extension of the EB-5 Regional Pilot Program. So, Leahy's amendment permanently extending the EB-5 Regional Pilot Program was approved too!
Senator DeMint from South Carolina threw in a bill to mandate the construction of actual fences along 700 miles of the Southern Border, taking away the right of DHS/CBP to decide how best to protect that border. That has also passed.
Senator Hatch has now introduced a bill which includes positive changes including undoing the Widow Penalty, and a religious worker extension and a rural doctors program extension. You can still call the Senate Switchboard to voice your support for this latter bill, and your disgust with the Senate passage of laws without debate that will affect millions of lives and cost billions of dollars. You can reach your Senator by calling 202-224-3121.
All of these amendments, of course, must now go back to a conference committee with the House, and there is no guarantee that any of them will become law. But, lest you thought your time to relax from calling your Congressman was over, it has now started again. Get on the phone and start demanding REAL Immigration Reform, rather than this piecemeal junk.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186823568153827945-7232301415393625463?l=ailaleadership.blogspot.com

For the antis who are still making the tired argument that we need to enforce existing immigration laws before we can consider legalizing the millions of out of status immigrants in the US. This is one more piece of evidence that serious enforcement is happening.

Hi,
I filed my 485 on July 5, 2007 at NSC and got my receipt number yesterday. I sent my wifes 485/765/131 on July 24, 2007 to NSC. She is on H4 currently. TOday i got my wifes receipt numbers for all 3. But to my surprise the receipt numbers were given by TSC instead of NSC.
FYI my 140 is pending with NSC.
I am just wondering if this will be a problem? Any one had been through similar situation?
Thanks in Advance!!
You should be happy for this as I am still waiting for my wife's EAD from NSC

In general, I see a lot of members quoting stuff that indicates shortage of tech workers and saying we should use them.
While this is true, it is worth understanding/appreciating the fact that most of these articles are aimed towards increasing H1 quota and not necessarily improving EB retrogression.
We should be a little careful which articles we use.
Hi,
The following is an article I read and want to share with fellow GC seekers. This clearly indicates that there is a real big need for Tech workers in US and companies are finding difficult to fill the vacancies.
http://www.datawarehouse.com/article/?articleid=6816
I hope IV may be able to get in touch with researcher and get more detailed information. This may also help them while meeting House Reps and Congressmen.

hi, My Lawyer says that texas SWA gave him a figure of $ 105,000 annual salary as a prevailing wage for 5 years experience java,j2ee guy. After discussing with people who have already filed in EB2 i get the feeling that this is too much amount and the wage requirement is somewhere between 80-85,0000. My lawyer is trying to downgrade me to EB3. I want to contest his claim but I am not sure what mistake he has made. What questions should I ask him to figure it out. Any help would be great.

Technically ...... "ZERO" (no time-gap).
But don't worry about it too much (what can you do). Get your next job ASAP, and file for "premium processing".
In the past "extension of status" petitions had got approved even after almost a month gap, with good explanation. But you can never count on that.
Worst thing that can happen for a valid new H1 job is USCIS approve your H1 but reject your "extension of status" (I797 without I-94 attached). In that case, you might need to travel outside of USA and get your visa.
Either way, don't go beyond 180 days. There will be additional consequences.
Hello, I lost my job today, but I have H1B. So what's the time gap for finding a new job?
Thank you very much.

I'm on currently on H1b (NO EAD). I'm applying for another job with a different company and came across the below question in thier Job Application. I don't know if the other company is willing to transfer my H1, but I would like to apply and prove myself in the interview.
If hired, can you submit verification of your legal right to work in the U.S.?
Should the answer be YES or NO? Can my current H1 be used as a proof of legal right to work???
I'm also required to acknowledge the below statement as part of the application.
I am aware that, as a condition of employment, if employment is offered, I must be authorized to work in the U.S. and demonstrate that authorization as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.
Appreciate if anyone of you can clarify this.
Thanks

Dear All,
I am filing AOS for my wife. I noticed G-325A is only single page now, I remember when I submitted mine it was 5 pages. Is it changed to 1 page only or I need to make 5 copies of that single page.
I am submitting AOS and EAD, according to my understanding only 2 photo for AOS and 2 photo for EAD, total 4 photos are required. I saw in some forum they are saying about 6 photos. Am I missing anything...
Thanks
sounak
No --- as far as I know 2 for EAD and 2 for AP -- don't trust forums always go by the instructions forms e.g instructions for EAD which can be found at USCIS.gov website

My spouse and I have been notified through I-797C notice of action letter of the interview for (form-1-485, application to register for permanent residency). They require us to bring along a checklist of items for the interview including form I-864 that needs to be attached with Tax returns and W2 or certified IRS printouts.
Both of us have been in US for 15 years holding F1 and later H1B visas. The problem is that one of us (who is the dependent) has worked in several organizations without authorization. We would like to know what cause of action to take to mitigate the problem as well as the worst-case scenario in terms of our ability to obtain residency. Any advice, particularly those who know of someone who has faced a similar situation will be appreciated.
