The silence from those of us not affected by the green card process who are legal immigrants is annoyingly deafening. The entire economy has picked up now and yet legislation takes forever to pass!
What does it take for lawmakers to turn their heads? People holding placcards and signs on streets protesting? Is that the only way to have something heard? Obviously, written articles such as these isn't helping!

Hi,
I am a dependent of my parents who are currently staying in the U.S. with E-2 Visa. We have stayed in the U.S. for almost 9 years now and we are trying to get a Green Card.
My parents have already filed and received an approved I-140, but my parents say that we have to wait couple years before being able to file I-485.
I don't quite understand why there is a delay between receiving an approved I-140 and filing I-485.
It seems like everybody either files both I-140 and I-485 concurrently or file I-485 immediately after I-140 is approved.
So, my question is: Is there usually a span of time that applicants must wait before filing I-485 after getting their I-140 approved?
Thanks a bunch,
--HJ
To understand this, go through this forum and look for words or forums named "retrogression of visa numbers" and "priority date". You will find your answer.

Not sure if this is the section to post this.
I am listing a few things that rake up my mind whenever I think of my prolonged (for me its prolonged though) stay in US. Dragging my feet over decisions to go back or not.
My posting is entirely my view. I would not be willing to trample on other's feelings. Just sharing a few things.
Cons
------
1) Leave everything behind as such in our native place and start everything afresh here. Looks cool for a start. But end up in a remote place with few people and no friends. Life starts to suck when you move on for some months in the remote place. Some like it most don't.
2) Trying to look back on what we missed being with family and friends, those good old days. Sitting on a wall/bench and chatting about daily happenings/cricket etc
3) Going back after some time to be bewildered on what happened to those buildings that were there. Before you digest all those, your vacation is gone. Poof
4) Most Importanty, live with fear on what will happen to those near and dear who have been wishing us good luck and health. Just imagining that fact that when you visit back next time, they might not be there, gives me sleepless nights. This is true even when you are back in your native place but at least you have a solace in seeing them whenever you require and help them in their times of need physically. Nothing is like what you do rather than telling others to do.
5) Missing all those religious events, happenings, special occasions.
Pros
-----
1) Live own life without any bindings (we can give umpteen excuses on how we are forced to live but its still our life)
2) Money factor
3) Move away from petty politics
4) Your own car.
5) Wifeys like it here as it moves them from home politics and they drive the home here.
These are my thoughts. Just sharing with a few who might care.

Looking at your profile, i am surprised u still havent received the plastic card.
If your card gets approved while you are out of the country i.e. US, and you dont have AP i had read earlier that it is considered as an abandonment. The sole purpose of AP is to provide you to get in and out of US while on AOS period.
Did u check with your company Attorney?
Hi,
Dont know if this question has been asked before, but I recently got an extension and change of employer done using AC21 to a different company. I dont have an AP and dont have the time to get one. I am travelling to India next week and am scheduling an appoitment to get an H1B stamp. Will this be an issue? Is this considered abandonment of status?
Please let me know if someone else has been in this situation.
Thanks!

Hi Folks,
I recently got my h1b extension approved. and on the approval notice i read the following lines of text,
"The petitioner may also file Form I-824, Application for action on an approved petition with this office, to request that we notify a consulate, port of entry or pre-flight inspection office of this approval"
Has anyone tried doing this I-824 to notify the consulate where we planned to do H1b extension stamping. Will this work to avoid PIMS delay?
And has anyone recently done h1b extesnion stamping in chennai consulate?
I am in deliberate need of doing this because i may lose my project if i get stuck for a long time in consulate abroad, at the same time i feel safe with a stamping and hence want to go for stamping.
Please share your comments.

4. Consult an immigration lawyer ASAP
Today, My H1B transfer got denied and waiting for denial notice. Employer is planning to appeal on denial case. (I am assuming that "Denial could be becasue of client letter was not furnished)
My Layer: Employer->Company A-> Primary Vendor -> Client
My I-94 is valid Nov-09-2009 based on previous employer petition. Previous employer notified USCIS on H1B termination.
On this, What would be best option.
1. File a new H1B case thru current employer (while is waiting for appeal result, as a back up plan)?
2. can I continue work for current employer since my I-94 is valid till 11/09/2009 and filling MTR?
3. Apply for H1B transfer thru primary vendor's sister concern?

Hi,
I have H1 that is valid till 2011 but when I entered using H1 ( I had EAD and AP also), the visa officer gave i-94 only till Jun 3rd 2009. I did not notice this error at that time. I realized this when my attorney pointed out this while applying for my new AP. The attorney suggested that I should go out of the country and re enter on EAD/AP and start working on EAD. What are my options ?
1) My EAD is valid till 2010
2) My current H1 is valid till 2011
3) My current AP is Valid till August 28 2009
4) My I-94 expired on June 3rd 2009.
5) My H1 visa stamp expired on May 2009
Should I go to Canada or Mexico and re-enter US with EAD/AP before my AP expires to start working on EAD and avoid any "out of status" issues ?
Does Canada Mexico ask for valid VISA and I-94 to get a visitor visa ?
Should I go to India(my home country) and re-enter US before my AP expires to keep my status ?
Appreciate a quick response as my AP is about to expire.

from what we see on other posts, what matters most is
1. company is hiring u as a fulltime employee
2. job desc is same or similar
3. annual salary is >= one specified in approved labor
you can get paid by hr, but just extrapolate that hrly value into annual salary, and state that.

Folks!
Like me all July filers would get off the H1-B hook come this Jan. I am assuming everybody would use newly gained freedom of EAD to switch employer or jobs. So far, not many employers like to get involved in H1 hassels ( espcialy in midwest), so recruiters had good business by hiring engineers at low rate and syphoning off majority share of the pay check.
But now, with 180 days (less than 75 days) limit over, all EAD holders are free to switch employers of jobs ( I know in same or similar capacity ... but that's not the point). The point is what would be the effect on current business contracting companies have? What would be the effect of EAD on their cost models and consistent revenues?
Not saying they would cease to exsist, as H1B's would still need them. But isn't new and bold demands from engineers like me going to affect their margins? ...What do you think?

Question1) Is there anything like a H1Btransfer or is it a brand new application??
Yes, company B will need to file an H1 transfer
Question2) Does this H1B transfer go through the 65,000 quota system?? Is there a chance my H1B transfer can be rejected because I did not make it in the 65,000?
H1 B transfers are not counted against teh 65, 000 quota.
Question3) When can I start working for Company B?
Question4) Company B said that I should only inform Company A after I get a receipt from USCIS about my H1B transfer. If Company A matches up the salary what Company B is offering me after I inform them and I still havent started working with Company B, can I stay with Company A? If yes, What about the H1B transfer application by Company B?
You can start working with Company B once you get the receipt of filing. There is no need for you to join company B even after they have filed for your transfer. - you can continue to work with company A.
Yes, company B will need to file an H1 transfer

Hi All,
I hold different administrative and accounting responsibilities in my company. My company can't sponsor me as an accountant, because I don't have too much experience.
Are there any other occupation which can fit my responsibilities to get an H1B visa?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
I have applied my I-485 (EB3, PD - 2004 Feb) last week. Planning to file EB2 PERM with the same employer next week for porting the EB3 dates. My doubts are
1) Can we file an interim application at I-485 stage for porting the EB3 priority date for EB2, rather than filing a second I-485?
2) After the EB2 I-140 approval, do we need to wait for my priority dates to become current for submitting the interim application for EB2 I-485?
3) I am doing this for getting the GC comparitively earlier. But is there any issues/threats for doing like this?
Gurus, please comment the pros and cons of this.

Once you have two pay stubs , you can change the company. You can change even with a single pay stub but with two you are much safer.
Its a very debatable thing to discuss whether leaving so soon is good or not ..... wont go into it. You should always do what is best for you and your family. Everything else comes later.....
