I was never able to figure out why this senthil visits this site. He will be at home on numbersusa or any anti eb websites. I think he comes here to torture us. The bottomline in his posts seems to be all eb immigrants should drop dead and that will be the solution to all problems. Please senthil why dont you go elsewhere, for once after a long long wait people are a bit happy because of 485 filing please dont spoil it with your anti-eb and anti h1b rhetoric.
Hello mmandal,
Many of us who visit IV forums everyday know that snethil1 is an idiot. I would highly recommend more people to add him to your ignore list, just as I did. I read his post because you quoted him in your post. Otherwise his posts do not even show up on my screen. He and his posts are inconsequential if you add him to your ignore list.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
This guy's a congenital pessimist.
Companies were vague on numbers. So how could they satisfy Senators. I knew only a few companies gave detail about open positions including Microsoft, Intel and oracle. How you can impress Senate or house? But anti immigrants gave all the layoff numbers, h1b numbers used and details of abuses happened for past few years. It is not just money power will win. With facts and numbers if you have money power then you can win. That is reason for past 3 years H1b numbers or GC numbers were not increased inspite of heavy lobbying.

Pappu, I sent the article to my cousin in China, asking him to publish his story. Please read his reply. He graduated from University of Chicago and went back to China two years after working in US.
"This is another sad story about skilled immigrant.
I want to talk about this issue from my perspective.
I got my M.B.A in a prestigious US university and worked as a Financial Analyst in US for two years. I was thinking of applying for GC at that time because I had planned to stay in US. But, that winter, when I took a vacation in China, I decided to look for a job in China because I was very impressed by the economic development in China and wanted to capitalize on the opportunity. The Chinese market was/is in urgent demand for US-trained financial analyst. After some interviews, I got a very generous offer from a multinational company and quitted my job in US without any hesitation.
Now five years has passed. Because of my excellent performance, I get two promotions in the past five years and am a director in my company. My boss, who is an american, lost his job and has to go back to US because my company cannot see any fiancial advantage to hire him anymore. I have never been happier. I believe that I made a very good choice five years ago. Most of my chinese classmates during MBA study are still struggling for their GCs and get stuck in their career development because of GCs. They are quite regret that they did not come back to China back 5 years.
So what I want say is that, US is not a very good place to stay anymore. There are many golden opportunities in your own country! Many countries are becoming stronger and stronger. It's not 10 or 20 years ago. 10 or 20 years ago, US is the best place in the world to stay. But now, it's different. My friends in US make about $150k a year and cannot afford a luxury lifestyle. I make $100k a year and enjoy a very comfortable life in China. I built my own house in China, which is even better than my house in New Jersey before. I hired my own chauffeur, housekeeper, two nannies for my baby... I cannot afford these thing if I were still in US. How many americans can afford the same lifestyle as mine? I don't think there are many.
My point is, be open to opportunities in your own countries or other countries in the world other than US. You will be happy to leave US several years later when you look back. Besides, if more and more US-trained scientists and professionals come back to their own countries and help their countries to develop, maybe in another 10 or 20 years, no one would want GC anymore."

So are you suggesting that everyone in EB3 ROW is unskilled professional?
No that is a suggestion that you are making ...
I am saying that every one in EB3 India/China/ROW is applying for a job that requires lesser skill than EB2 India/China/ROW
It is the job ....not the individual and not the country

I remember in one of Dem party primary debates there was a related question on immigration (general immigration) - Obama answered that in positive way and in fact brought up the legal/employment based immigration issue on his own and mentioned that it needs to be speed up the process and make changes so that fresh talent is attracted - ofcourse at the end he added that american interests have to kept in mind while coming up with employment based immigration system (I remember gist of his response not the exact one)- but his whole response was very positive and if I remember correctly none of other candidates even mentioned employment based immigration - they answered generic immigration (meaning illegal) issue.
Does this mean anything - not much. As someone already mentioned both candidates are in favor of legal employment based immigration and increasing it to some extent - or atleast give some token support for this. But both of them may not take any active stand to make it a priority item - because there are other issues that people (their voters) care more about now like war in iraq, economy, gas prices, health care etc. etc. Both of them may not touch immigration until later in their term. Inevitably when they do touch it - it will be in the form of CIR and it will be big can of worms. Presidents can set the agenda and may issue limited administrative orders - but the expectation that either McCain or Obama will come out for EB community and unilaterally increase the quote or issue an admin order to solve our issue is IMPRACTICAL - and wont happen.
Our best bet is something to happen thru Congress. And our best bet is thru some relatively non-controversial bill like HR5882 (not CIR) - yes its a stop gap measure but it does solve many of EB issues until a new CIR comes into play. If you remember the golden days of EB in early years of this decade are because of a similar visa recapture in last days of Clinton administration - we need something similar.

I tend to agree with all the view points expressed here. I don't think we are supposed to know every immigration details (and, I guess, that is what the immigration lawyers are for), but USCIS always will reserve the right to do anything anytime. So, I think, it is better to be educated and over cautious on such matters. It is totally USCIS' fault to issue a wrong approval (if that indeed is what happened in my case-we will find out) and I hope they make amends for it by giving me an expedited EAD and AP so I can rest peacefully (and wait, I don't know, may be another 7 years to get a "real" approval).
TravInd, please let me know the attorney you used in your case, if you don't mind sharing that information. I feel like my attorney is not very responsive.

Hi,
Please help me with my situation below:
1) Got laid off from company A (they haven't cancelled my H1).
2) Got my H1B transferred to company B (this H1B transfer has not yet been approved). I did not work for them.
3) I did premium processing for H1B transfer for company C and got it approved. I haven't started working for them.
4) Now I have decided to work for company D. They are ready to do my H1B transfer.
Will that be a problem or do I have to go with company C? I do not have paystubs from company B and C. If I have to reenter US, will that be a problem? Please help me out.

As we have been learning, majority of the American public (including your neighbors) associate immigration reform with illegal immigration. Now if you ask them politely and ask whether they support immigration for highly skilled/highly educated individuals (already in the US working), you will hear no protests.
So basically, it boils down to awareness. When we have people affected by retrogression, unaware of the issues, how can we expect a lawmaker to know the inner details?
Just contact the lawmaker's office for creating awareness. Pro/anti-immigration is an after-thought.

We are not talking about what's beneficial to the United States. What we are discussing is what the law says. It doesn't matter if it is beneficial to the United States or not, if it is the law of the land then everyone has to abide by it; even the government. I think everyone has a different opinion on what's beneficial for this country. If you talk to the people at numbersusa.com, they will say that H1B program and employment based immigration is the worst thing that happened to this country and should be stopped right at this moment yet we think that this is the best thing for this country. Go figure.
By the way, you seem to suggest that everyone in ROW is unskilled professional. Nothing can be further from the truth. I don't know where you get your facts from but it sounds like you certainly need some help on that front.
It does make sense that the overflow numbers are given to higher preference categories in single state oversubscribed countries. When you think about it, will that not be the most beneficial to United States? Who would you prefer .... and Unskilled professional from a ROW category or a skilled worker from an Oversubscribed country. I would gather it would make more sense to give the opportunity to the higher skilled since the benefit to US will be higher

I receive the standard IRS letter regarding stimulus rebate.
I took this letter and went to SSA office to apply for a SSN for my wife.
Point number 3 in ss-5 clearly says .....
"If you check "Legal Alien Not Allowed to Work," you must provide a document from a U.S. Federal, State, or local government agency that explains why you need a Social Security number and that you meet all of the requirements for the U.S. government benefit. NOTE: Not all U.S. State or local benefits are acceptable for non-work SSN purposes. Contact SSA to see if your reason qualifies.
If you check "Other," you must provide a document from the U.S. government agency that explains why you need a Social Security number and that you meet all of the requirements for a Federal benefit except for the number."
I believe that IRS letter should be treated as a sufficient reason for need of SSN. BUT THEY DIDN'T ENTERTAIN ANY OF THE FACTS AND DECLINED TO ACCEPT APPLICATION FOR SSN.
As long as you qualify for the stimulus payment, you can get a non-work SSN. You qualify as long as you are in the income levels specified, were a resident of the US in 2007 (substantial presence), and were in the US legally (have a valid visa). If you did not file a tax return, then you cannot apply for the SSN.
As far as the Social Security Act is concerned, the law states that they MUST give you a SSN if you qualify for any federally funded benefit. The question is: Is the Economic Stimulus Payment a federal funded benefit. The information in my original post makes a very strong case that it is.
Please post your experiences here, even if you are denied. Remember, the folks in the local SSA offices are bureaucrats, not lawyers, or judges, so don't expect much cooperation. However, if they deny you application, simply write them a short letter saying that you disagree and that you are requesting a "reconsideration."

I agree its a great idea, still most of crowd don't understand what are we asking and relates us to un-documented workers.
Even within legal community most people who are pre-gc stage (H1/LE Etc) they don't have any interest; ppl came to me at work after rally to tell me that they are 4-5 years away from my situation so they didn't feel attending rally. Bigger the better, we need big crowd, NJ/NY/MD/DC/VA are worthless. We can try doing rally in Houston, TX area, we may find dedicated people there. But I feel it will be very tough to show heads rally in big numbers.
On our next rally (hopefully soon) we should all carry placards but this time with ONE single slogan:
"WE ARE ALREADY LEGAL AND HIGHLY-SKILLED IMMIGRANTS, STOP LUMPING US WITH ILLEGALS AND END THE 10-YEAR GREEN CARD WAITS"

Hi
My experience with RK's office has been good so far.They are prompt in replying any urgent calls & emails. The parallegals & the attorneys are both very knowledgable & cooperative.
Thanks

Yes....Each employer must file for New H1B. But it does not invalidate the current H1B, untill its revoked by the employer.

Sent emails to media using the tool. It was quick, I'm sure if many of us do it, it will be effective too.

Guys, I just checked my bank statement and it seems they have cashed the check for mine & my spouses fees, but haven't cashed the check for my Son's AP renewal. I am already wondering what's coming in mail....They'll never let you sit in peace...

i thought a simple majority i.e. >50 would make the bill pass through senate. is that not true?
Its only going to take 5 people to break away from the 64. Those 35 "No" votes are the ones who want CIR dead NOW. They are not going to change. But those 64, its only going to take 5 people to walk away.
There are 24 amendments. I think atleast 5 people would see their amendments fail on the floor of the house and probably another 5 atleast who would withdraw support because someone else's amendment passed. This baby is going DOWWWNNN this weekend per my estimate. I could be wrong but again, 24 amendments ? That's too many darts on a fragile compromise.
