People are destroying this country by converting the illegal�s into legal�s. All these illegal�s and whoever is supporting them should be deported. If you want to live in US, follow the rules, if you want to break rules, live somewhere else.

'Masala Dosa' and I met with staff of Senators Mel Martinez and Bill Nelson. The meetings went very well. We had the opportunity to see the compromise announcement on the floor while we were in the office of Senator Martinez. That was a good deal.
We talked about IV, our individual cases, the need for reform and possible amendments the Senators could raise - like parity with agricultural workers (ability to self-sponser greencard), I-485 application even when priority not current, backlog elimination center update and the need to push it through, support for existing immigration reform bill, explained why the hard country limit is bad for Indians, Chinese and Philippinos and urged them to talk about keeping the limit at 10% and yet allowing unused numbers to flow to India and China.
One observation we had was that the staff had no clue what is the difference between H-1B and Greencard processing. So we spent some time educating them about how the quotas are formed, the caps etc ...
We have them all the material mentioned in the IV site for reading. Hopefully the feedback trickles down to the Senators and we get to have some of our amendments. The best part of it whether these amendments come or not is that we made an attempt to explain our problems to Senators.
Overall, it was a fruitful trip, and a well spent day. I will continue to follow up with the Senators office and keep in touch with the staff. 'Masala Dosa' will follow up with staff at his place.
We need to move on to the next step and target who would be on the committee for reconciling House and Senate versions. I am looking forward to folks who are knowledgeable in this matter to come forward and give the info.
Let us make this bill through this time and get our greencards. :D

Thanks for replying, i have some more questions related to this
Lets say my current employer is A and next employer is B
1. Do employers normally revoke I140 when employee leaves ?
Most of the time, No. It's waste of money for employers to pay for the lawyer to send in a request to USCIS to revoke I-140. This will be more common if the lawyer is on company's payroll and gets paid a fixed amount and not per case basis.
2. If my first PERM and I140 was under EB3 category, then can i switch to EB2 category with the next company ?
Yes. As long as job qualifies/requires EB2.
3. Suppose i leave A and Join B, and after 2-3 months i join another company C, in this case will C be able to port my I140 from A ?
You can't port I-140 period. It is property of the company that filed it. Company C (D,E,F...Z) will need to redo labor, I-140 etc. Priority date can be recaptured.

Thanks abhisam for your reply..
The last time i spoke with my lawyer he said. we dont the stautus of my brothers h1 yet as even thought they closed the dates in May they are holding some cases in case the existing cases which got receipt are denied then they will consider new cases from the lot.
I dont know what this means????
Is there a possibility of H1 cases are being in pending status without any receipt from USCIS.????

Hi All,
I am here in US on a H1B and my wife is on a H4. She recently got admission to a graduate school and has to start next week. I am worried that if I get her COS for the next semester (this is a 1 year program), then woud she be eligible to get her OPT at the end of the program? She would have been on a F1 for less than a year, but would have completed the Master's program.
I tried to get more information, but what I saw was that the OPT eligiblility requirement is atleast 1 full academic year on F1. Is this correct?
Help is greatly appreciated.

Gurus..
My labor has been pending from Jan 03. I am having a combined Bachelor's degree which was not mentioned in the Form 750A[mentioned as Bachelors] I came to know that couple of days back after my attorney informed me that she had sent a amendment latter to change my status two months back after waiting for 3 long years to add "combination of Bachelor's degree".
Should I be really worried at this stage and did any body had this problem or did you amend the 750A form from PBEC.
Guru�s please giving your advice.

Thanks for the reply meridiani.
So do you also mean to suggest that
1. 2 payslips are required to do the transfer?
2. I cannot do a H1 transfer before I start working for the consulatant?

Immigration Voice Team and Members,
I guess you may have seen this new bill introduced by Rep. Lofgren. This bill would be a boon to eagerly awaiting qualified candidates. Is there anything we all can do to push this reform!!!
Rep. Lofgren Introduces Bill to Retain International Talent
Bill Would Allow Best and Brightest in STEM Fields to Stay in the United States.
May 14, 2008
Washington, D.C. � Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) recently introduced H.R.6039, which would allow masters and Ph.D. level graduates from U.S. universities in science, technology, engineering, and math to obtain green cards without waiting in long lines, if they have job offers from U.S. employers. The measure enjoys strong bipartisan support, initial co-sponsors include: Reps. Chris Cannon (R-UT), Michael Capuano (D-MA), Chris Carter (R-TX), John Conyers (D-MI), Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Tom Davis (R-VA), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Wayne Gilchrist (R-MD), Mike Honda (D-CA), Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), George Miller (D-CA), David Reichert (R-WA), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), John Shadegg (R-AZ), Adam Smith (D-WA), and Ellen Tauscher (D-CA).
�More than 50% of the graduates from U.S. universities in masters and Ph.D. programs in science and engineering are foreign born,� noted Rep. Zoe Lofgren. �If we want our economy to continue competing in the global market, we have to retain these foreign students so they compete with us instead of against us in other countries. These men and women are the innovators of tomorrow, and we aren�t the only ones looking to retain their talents. Increasingly, employers from Europe, Australia, Canada, and even China and India, are beating U.S. employers for valuable talent. In 2000, for example, 75% of the world�s engineers were hired by U.S. employers�just six years later in 2006, that percentage dropped to 63%. This legislation will give U.S. employers another tool to recruit the world�s best and brightest.�

Hello everyone and thank you IV for all your great work. Much appreciated.
I have a (hopefully ) simple question:
I am EB2 (had been current the whole time) and I am just now ready to file my I-140 and I-485.
That said and considering the now new window to file (till 8/17), should I premium process the I-140? Does it even matter? Am I going to basically throw away $1000?
I had ready that they would not even touch the I-485 till the I-140 was approved but that sounds like a contradiction to concurrent filing, right?
Any info, tips would be greatly appreciated.
My attorney is ready to file but I want to make sure I ask the right questions/get the right info from them before they do so.
Thank you all once again!
That's right, premium processing has been suspended. Yes it is true i-485 is not touched until i-140 is approved, but they will process EAD and AP. They just cannot decide the i-485 BCOS it is based on an immigrant petition. IF the immigrant petition has not been decided, they cannot do anything about the i-485. Hope this helps

Currently on H4 and validity expires on 09/23/2010. Can be applied for extension when principal applicants H1B is being extended(from his company), but since I have my H1B case filed with USCIS, will it create any conflict if I apply for H4 extension now? (ideally for 7 days (23rd sept to 30th sept) !! 'coz if approved, H1B status becomes valid from Oct 1st, right? )
Also, is there any rule which states that, when a case is pending with USCIS, legally you are not supposed to leave the country?
Thanks in advance,
Sabitha
your question is that you are on h4 and have applied for H1. Your h4 will expire in sept.
If your h1b is approved, your h4 extension will be invalidated.... i think. check with the lawyer though
