I am one of many many and happy to see this development.
I am puzzled.
Just would like to remind you all , only couple of months back, there was a great optimizm of CIR .. but today we know it is in stalemate.
So I think this time around we should be cautious. I have a question... What is the gaurantee that this bill is not to increase H1-B alone? Sorry If I am not being optimistic here.
I request, Our web faxes clearly state why we support SKILL BILL... If I read right and remember it well, this Forums goal is to reduce retrogression/backlogs.
Now to be positive I am copying an extract that was in quotes in press release ..
“To our detriment, current policy mandates that we educate and train these brilliant individuals and then send them away to other countries to compete against us.”
Thank you IV for your efforts.
Excellent Point. Its defenitely not in any of the employer's interest to worry about EB issues. Infact they prefer people being in H1. and I certainly do not want to support that. There are good chances that congress increase H1 quota and we end up supporting the wrong cause. As far as IV is concerned, I would even go to the extent of saying that we should not support H1 causes, as there are enough candidates in H1 here undergoing EB problems. Thanks for bringing out an excellent point regarding this bill. My opinion is, if EB issues are not stressed properly, this bill will be viewed as "INCREASE FOR H1B BILL".. my 2 cents.

Reposting quetion from another thread, as this looks like right thread for this question...
Did anyone got H1B transfer done recently from California Service Center??
Their published processing time are not of much use, they show status as of Sep 30th.
Wanted to know how much time its taking for H1B transfer cases????

Here is the response from congressman Eric Paulsen of MN.
Thank you for letting me know of your support for increased immigration.
We are clearly a nation of immigrants, and I support prudent levels of legal immigration into this country.
There are a variety of legislative proposals to reform our current immigration system, which is widely acknowledged to be broken. The House Judiciary Committee, of which I am not a member, will be holding hearings on the initiatives for a comprehensive review.
You can be sure I will keep your views in mind as I review the committee's recommendations and legislation on this issue moves forward.
Thanks again for sharing your concerns, as I appreciate hearing from you. Please let me know whenever I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Erik Paulsen
Member of Congress

Hi ! My H1B with current employer is valid till March 2010. I got a new job offer and employer is willing to transfer my H1B. I have submitted all the documents.
The attorney of the new employer says, that I can start working with new company once USCIS receives my application. Is it safe? She says Fedex tracking no. is enough. Did any one face this situation? pl.respond. She got instructions from the employer to apply in regular process.How much time it will take to get a receipt no. in regular process?
Once you get a reciept notice, you can start working, but to be safe, you maywant to wait till approved. If the employer wanted you badly, why did they not file in PP?

What about salary requirements?
I am planning to move to a State, where the cost of living is low and hence the salary is lower than what is specified in my LC.
Is that an issue?
Thanks
>> Any location restrictions when using AC21?
No.
AC-21 job should be same/similar and must be full-time position.

If we stress on IV's acheivements .. eg. flower campaign & San jose Rally and outcome of these..Reversal of Visa Bulletin then I think people will try to understand..
Try it. They are here: July 2 filers - Receipt Tracking (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=170053#post170053)
They will educate you: they entered your house because you left the door open. Hence, serve them whatever they ask and get out of their way because they are doing Great Analysis!

Hi kate123, either it is a legislative fix or not, it's not up to us to decide. I saw the danger of our time and effort being sidetracked by trying to argue whether it's a legislative or administrative fix. The new secretary has made it clear that she is willing to push for BOTH Administrative AND Legislative fix if it's deemed necessary. Our goal should be bringing enough attention to her on the pre-application issue and convince her it's a meaningful change that will help both the DHS and the applicants, so she will push for changes. Please let me know if you agree.
desi3933,
I completely agree what you said and what is interpreted in the law.
BUT if they really go by law , JULY 2007 fiasco SHOULD never happen.
If you see my earlier post, author has clearly mentioned that "USCIS does not have to define "immediate availability" strictly on the cut-off dates listed in the Visa Bulletin."
Please refer paragraph 8 from:
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm
Well, again its up to CIS how they interpret the law... Atleast if we request them to allow pre filing they might go easy on this and allow us to file for AOS.
Thanks a lot
-Kiran :)

Hi All,
Please help me out here. CIO of the company I am working now as a full time employee is quitting and forming a new company. He would like to hire me for this new company. This is a start up company with 15 Million investment and a big venture capital company from NJ is also investing in the company. Would you guys see any potential problems here for H1b sponsorship?
Thanks for your reply.
Thanks,
Vani

It is good to know that state chapters are semi internet. I beg to differ with you regarding "feeling that you are in trouble". Expecting people to feel that they are in trouble by telling them so will never work. If someone thinks they are in trouble they would work out the solution on their own, they will not sit and wait for someone to help. This is a flawed assumption.
Anyways I am going to join the IV chapter to share more of my ideas to help this cause. Already sent a PM to chanduv23
State boards are kind of semi internet usgae only (Though not forum...). But those also do not make passive ones come ahead. So real issue is not the type of meet, the first real issue is feeling that you are in trouble..and 2nd is to stand up for fighting against that. And 3rd.. yes through IV we will be able to do this and so become active.

H1-b 5.5 years, I-140 approved 1.5 yrs, I-485 pending almost 2 yrs, priority date just got current (JUL2004). Got laid off and will have January check as last pay check. Spouse is on H1-B, whose job is relatively secure for the short term, whose I-140 approved as well but didn't submit I-485 (PD is about beginning of 2007).
1) EAD/AP expire at the end of March. Should I renew EAD/AP now? The company will not do it, if I apply it on my own will CIS notice this and send me an RFE? If they do send me RFE asking for employment verification letter can I fax back a letter (I believe my company still counts me as an employee now) without letting them know I got laidoff?
2) Regarding H4 application: what's the best way to do it, apply on my own or use an attorney? Do I have enough time to do it in one month on my own?
3) If I find a new job quickly, given that I'm in my 6th year of H1-B, will the new employer be able to transfer my H1-B?
4) If my 485's approved but I don't get the card mailed to me at the time I start my new job (if any) is there a problem?
Thanks for your help and Happy New Year to everybody,

Hello PAL
I also came to Toronto in 2007. I was a F1->H1B tired of the H1B dance through stamping,
body shopper etc. I came in 2007, did MBA at U of T....doing well now. Yes Canada is tough job market but eventually it is working out....but hey US under H1B is tougher and worse. I never regret the decision. If I have to take the decision again, I will take the same decision.
One thing for sure...I am definitely better than US H1B mess, changing place to place like nomads for projects and yes better than the 1.5 typical travel to work on jammed roads in India or hour long travel in Mumbai locals.
I think of working in US in future but never under the mess of H1B body shopper. I will try TN1 visa (now 3 years). I am not against working on H1B but not under the desperate terms that one has to typically do if one has Indian passport. The way i see is that skilled immigration to US is over under Eb2-I/Eb3-I. A lot of people have yet to accept the reality.
Go_guy when did you come to US, When did you go to Canada (Toronto).Which job are you doing now in Toronto?

Thanks for the update. Cangratulations once again. Genius lawyer indeed. Enjoy your freedom.
As I promised earlier I would keep you guys updated on the process of this case.
On saturday I received the welcome as a permanent resident to USA letter. After trying to get a hold of my attorney I got in touch with him.
Heres the story. (this guy is a genius)
I asked him how it was possible when my PD wasn't current I got GC approval.
His answer was funny and pleasant. Magic :D
He said after the approval of my PERM during filing I-140 under EB2 he also filed a petition under "person with extraordinary ability interest to US" on my behalf. So in other words both the petitions were being processed together at USCIS. Me not aware of USCIS rules wasn't aware of all the lingo so didn't know.
Now the Extraordinary ability petition quota is always current. So when my extraordinary petition was approved the attorney informed the USCIS that to adjucate my adjustment based on this approval. Since the PD was current for this category. USCIS processed and approved the GC based on that. I love this guy I don't have to work for my current employer anymore hence he will get a big surprise when I turn in 2 day resignation. HA...

I had my H1b till Nov 16, 2010 with Company1
Company2 applied for H1b transfer and it was approved as of Nov 08, 2010 ( but we didn't get any notification about it it's approval until few weeks later)
Company1 filed for H1b extension on Nov 10, 2010
I properly resigned Company1 on Nov 30, 2010 and started working with Company2 on Dec 1, 2010
Somehow Company1 didn't terminate my H1b extension and it got approved as of Jan 18, 2011.
1) Which status am I in? What decides my status?
2) Can I continue working for Company2 without any problems? Has this new approval put my transfer in jeopardy?
3) Do I need to update Company2 about Company1's extension approval?
4) Do I need to leave the Country to do any stamping?
Please help!!

But will the duration he was with company B while the petiton was pending with USCIS be considered as out-of-status if he returns to company A now? Also his H1b for company A expired while he was away at company B. Will his petition now be considered a transfer back to company A or will it be considered as a new H1 as it had expired few months back?
