One more thing along the same lines, what will happen if my friend gets his H-1B through non-profit organization and will want to move to a profit organization? Will he have to again wait untill the regular quotas kick in? In other words can he simply transfer his H-1B to a profit organization at any time of the year regardless of the availability H-1B visas in the numbered-cap/quota system?
regards
I transferred from non-profit to profit. I have a US CS degree which has a separate H!B quota. I was not aware of all these issues at the time of transfer. So I don't know the category in which I was plugged.
I think it will be counted against the cap. It was discussed in some forum some time back.

Don't dependents count against usage too - making the options of one main + one dependent/two main applicants a non-factor in visa availability?
I am curious about this process as well - from all that I know, you have to identify all the dependants prior to the 485 filing - is that true? If the couple files two 485s independently, if one gets the GC and say (heaven forbid) the other is stuck in name check or whatever, the GC in hand is not going to be of much use to the spouse stuck in the logjam.
Just use either one's.Someone in line can use the available number.

Visa numbers WERE available July 2nd!!
We have confirmed with a knowledgeable official in the Department of State Visa Office that USCIS was requesting visa numbers on Sunday July 1st, and Monday morning July 2nd - and that visa numbers were still being issued as late as the morning of July 2nd!
In fact, close to 30,000 visa numbers were requested and issued in July - through the morning of July 2nd. And we believe that many - if not most - of the requests made in the first two days of July were for applicants whose priority dates were not current in June!
So how can USCIS refuse to accept I-485 filings received BEFORE the State Department issued its notice that all visa numbers had been used???? We have not yet confirmed the return of any I-485s filed in July. But we do know that applications were reaching the USCIS before the State Department announcement - and while the USCIS was frantically working to use up the entire year's allocation.
USCIS did not use all visa numbers before July 2nd.
Did USCIS actually use the visa numbers it requested????
Historically, the USCIS doesn't request a visa number from the Department of State until it is ready to grant the adjustment of status application. US Consuls overseas request visa numbers the month before they intend to issue the immigrant visa. This is the reason why consuls return about ten percent of the visa numbers requested - and why USCIS does not generally return any numbers.
In fact, in making allocations of visa numbers, the Department of State factors in an expected return rate for consuls - but not for the USCIS. And the USCIS - before this June - used about 85% of the total immigrant visa numbers available.
However, already this month, the USCIS has been returning visa numbers. This confirms our earlier suspicion that the only way the USCIS could request 68,000 visa numbers in a matter of weeks was to request them in advance of adjudicating cases.
We believe USCIS exhausted the visa numbers by simply requesting them - not by using them. If so, and for reasons we will post shortly, we believe that over 30,000 visa numbers requested by USCIS will go unused - and will be wasted this year!
Posted July 9, 2007
Is this because of the strong condemnation from the US congress women Ms Lof that prompted it to do this to cover their tracks? Did some people miss their chance because of this?

Guys,
Please somebody answer below question; my friend is in similar situation...please help
Guys,
Can someone please let me know whether it is possible / advisable to travel while H1 approval is pending?
She is currently in H4 with a valid stamp in her passport. She filed for her H1 and was selected in lottery. She has a receipt but her approval is pending.
We were interested in making a short trip to India before Oct 1. But the consulting firm advised against it as according to them if she re-enters in H4 (even before Oct 1) while her H1 approval is pending, her H1 application will be cancelled and she has to restart the process all over again. Something to do with the last status on re-entry.
My thoughts are: The change of status will be effective Oct 1, 2008, why would it matter if I travel prior to that date?
A lot of you may have experienced the same dilemma, so please let me know...
thanks.

I think the thread should stay open so that members that do not visit this site regularly know the truth.
.
www.immigration-law.com has now retracted his statement this morning. He maybe following our website and giving updates.
When our members posted this yesterday, some of our members started accusing IV core of not knowing anything and indirectly saying that they are not doing the job right. Now we have seen that IV core team responded to the thread quickly and gave us the correct answer even before anybody else on the internet could give. That itself shows how much these core people are working hard. It is us that are at fault by not helping them.They are doing all this with the support of mere 200 members that have contributed. I think it is our responsibility to contribute even without their asking us. Let core team do their work and we can all support them from outside.
Great job IV.
IV has not taken the credit for Kerry's inclusion.... then who did it ? Did Kerry on his own added this amendment ? I don't beleive it.... is their someone other than IV also working on our cause :confused: :confused:

No offense, but, I would continue or increase my contribution, not because someone else is doing so or not doing so, or not if I would I get a tax break or not, but just because of my sheer appreciation of the IV core group's amazing efforts.
I have not (in the recent past) seen such a group of dedicated, decent and diginified people working together in a selfless manner to achieve something not only for their own good but for the good of hundreds and thousands of their fellow "sometimes not so polite, not so patient" sufferers.
I see my contribution to IV something similar to a contribution to a church or a temple. You give, not so that you'll benefit out of it, but because at the end of the day it is money well spent for a good cause.
If you benefit out of the efforts possible by your contribution, that's a nice bonus.
I don't look at my contribution as "I pay $20 I should get $100 in return".
For me, it is not an investment, but a good expenditure for worthy cause.
I just don't understand why people who suffer so much from the whole waiting would not contribute. If one day, IV core members decide to close this organization and go on with their lives, I would like to know how those people who have not contributed feel.
The economic theory, "inferior purge the good" works here. Without sufficient "good" individual, we will eventually be out of this game! So to those who have not contributed yet, do you want to see the disorganization of IV? Do you want to become a group for which no one would speak up for you? Do you want to wait desperately and endlessly for your GCs? Do you want to continue to work like a slave and feel worried about travelling outside US?... If not, please contribute!!!

Unless one has studied in the US, one will not realize the worth of the US educational system. One clear attribute of US educated professionals is their superior written and verbal communication skills. Not to mention the enhanced ability to culturally fit in a diverse environment.
If this were the case why so many "US educated desis" work for so called "body shoppers" and stay in "Guest houses" provided by these desi consulting companies.

I read that there are 2800 EB3-I visas a year, or about 233 visas per month. Assuming there are about 700 numbers available for the rest of the year 2010, using the data in the latest May-2010 I485 inventory, the calculation is pretty straight n easy with no spillover calculations involved ... here is a possible progress of the PD:
Sep-2010 : 10-Dec-2001
Sep-2011 : 31-May-2002
Sep-2012 : 15-Sep-2002
Sep-2013 : 01-Jan-2003
Sep-2014 : 01-Apr-2003
From there on the numbers are huge per month - about thousand pending 485 per month ... it'll continue at less than snail pace :D
http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/5790/india485pending.jpg
USCIS proved my progress prediction as wrong ... Per Aug-10 visa bulletin, the dates already moved to 01-JAN-02 whereas I was guessing that by Sep-10 it'll move to 10-Dec-2001.
Guess they'll just move it forward just to attempt to use up all available numbers. Neverthless it's positive for many who have been waiting. But it just makes the future predictions tougher. Lets wait for Sep-10 visa bulletin and then do another round of predictions after the I485 inventory is released.

I beg to differ from your point of view that approvals are on PD. If you take a good look at the PDs of approved cases posted here, you will there are many post July 04 (mostly in Oct and Dec 04) and we all know there are many before that.
They are clearly going by ND. I have seen 1/2 case approved that had ND after 8/30/07
High number of approvals over the first few days were expected. Centers review/preadjudicate cases based on 'real' receive dates (which are close to notice dates), as physical files are sorted in that sequence. That is happening. Sept VB was available couple of weeks ago, which prepared them to issue formal approvals as soon as September starts. USCIS SOP describes that once cases are preadjudicated they are shelved (wating for visa) in sequence of PD's. Therefore, most approvals are preadjudicated cases.
Congratulations to All who got approved. Best wishes to those still counting. If you ND is not too far from published dates (i.e. it is sometime in Aug/Sep/Oct 07), and your PD is high, there is very high chance of you getting a good news soon.
