Hi,
Based on the summary if you re-look at the student visa section of Bill Frist's bill
`(2) STUDENT VISAS- Notwithstanding the requirement under paragraph (1)(C), an alien may file an application for adjustment of status under this section if--
`(A) the alien has been issued a visa or otherwise provided nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv), or would have qualified for such nonimmigrant status if section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv) had been enacted before such alien's graduation;
`(B) the alien has earned an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics;
`(C) the alien is the beneficiary of a petition filed under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1); and
`(D) a fee of $1,000 is remitted to the Secretary on behalf of the alien.
`(3) LIMITATION- An application for adjustment of status filed under this section may not be approved until an immigrant visa number becomes available.'.
What this really means is a masters student can adjust to immigrant visa status although his visa application will get approved only when the visa is available. If i have understood this correctly this means that this is similar to the S-1932 provision wherein you can adjust your status although approval will happen only when immigrant visa is available.(provided one is masters)
Or have i got this wrong?
Comments? If i am interpreting this correctly it is another big boost for people who have either not worked 3 yrs as yet on H1B or have a masters degree unrelated to the profession they are working in.

To answer your question Yes nuthing gets transfered. Every time its a new h1b there is no transfer of anything. You can have 2 or more valid approved petition from different employers but you can use only one at a time.
Pay - They are liable and USCIS can question them. All they will have to do is show that this employee (OP) was no show never joined the company so basically agree with you here.
I was also under the same assumption. But I came to know that you can work for more than one sponsoring employer at a time.

We need 15 more senators to switch to NO for this to fail (not just 5). There will not be another cloture. This cloture gives 30 hours of time to debate those 24 amendments. Then there will be a final vote for the bill with 50+ votes passing the bill. Remenber Dick Cheney, the tie breaker. So we ought to have 51 NO votes.

Keep your vigil. Research and google it. Use these terms. "nurse" and "retrogression" and "unused" and "visa"
Yes nk2006, you are right. Anyone interested, go to the other side and see. A simple departmental notification is accomodating the nurses.
Good News: Non-immigrant visa, H-1C, is back and now available for Filipino nurses (http://www.filipinonurses2us.com/)
In our December articles, Non-immigrant work visa for Filipino Nurses and The US needs a special visa for Filipino Nurses, we discussed the H-1C visa classification, which was created in 1999 to relieve the nursing shortage in the US but which had expired in 2005. However, due to the increased shortage in nursing and the retrogression of immigrant visas, which the regular temporary work visa or H-1B can not accommodate, the United States has finally made a move to address the problem in the nursing shortage.
Today, February 12th, the Department of Labor announces the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Reauthorization Act 2005. The reauthorization took effect on December 20, 2006. This Act reauthorized the H-1C non-immigrant nurses program, a program originally created by the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999. The program allows employers to file attestations with the Department of Labor, Office of the Labor Certification (OFLC).
Hi,
Many posts on this thread suggest that there is no H1B type visa for nurses and so they have to come on only greencard; and that is why Health lobby is trying hard to GRAB 90K unused visas

I am guessing the presumption behind logiclife's post is that we're all responsible, thinking and educated adults who shouldn't have to be begged and pleaded with to behave with decency or show some common courtesies at the least. If IV was formed a few months ago, then it's understandable tho not excusable that people who have legitimate ead/ap concerns just talk about it on the forum and then leave. But if someone's been around for more than a year and still has not participated in a meeting or contributed in other ways its truly pathetic. Even tho I don�t track every piece of news on immigration, I consider myself fairly well informed and day by day the outlook only gets scarier. Today at lunch, we were talking about junk forwards and poking fun at those who send them and a friend mentioned how he has been getting so many fwds with anti-immigrant messages these days(my friends are obviously pro-legals, somewhat ambivalent about illegals but not the lou audience type & don�t lose sleep over a bunch of poor busboys/gardeners crossing the border). This anti movement is growing powerful by the day with clear agendas and goals but theres no countervailing pro-movement to speak of except iv, only sympathisers. Yesterday Lou was on tv promoting his book to princeton club in new york. After Lou had chewed off on the illegals in response to a question, another member conveniently queried him on what he thought of the top end of the immigration spectrum worked. After labelling H1b a disaster(in other words people like us are here in the US because of a broken program) he sought to portray congressional hearings as some farce as apparently only Bill Gates was invited to speak this year. He ofcourse didn�t mention that orgs like CIS, numbersusa and others were invited last year when his friends like Tancredo were running congress, orgs that would be labelled as hate groups in normal times in the halls of congress helping set policy! And then he said that 75% of H1bs goto Indians in the US who work for Indian companies domociled here to just to outsource American jobs. Not only did he make a chillingly racist assertion based on a complete lie, he was implicitly advocating shutting down the only legal avenue to immigrate for people like us who didn't win a genetic lottery and were born into the right family! This, in New york of all places and that too at Princeton club after dissing about 'elites' and how 'acquiescent' some were!! Voicing some legitimate concerns of the common man along with radical or divisive agendas are nothing new but he's taking it to new levels. That's why as someone else already said elsewheer, iv shld be more than a bulletin board to discuss legitimate ead/ap concerns- it�s the only openly pro-immigrant(EB)movement. There are a few opinion journalists penning a piece here & there but that doesn't help much. Some of us are in cozy well paying jobs who are certain to get gc's and can wait however long it takes but that�s no reason to sitby and let others who are not so certain about their future struggle alone. And finally, we all have been yelled at and its not the end of the world so getover it dontr be such friggin crybabies!

You got me wrong. I am not saying that, we are safe side filing this way.
Its better filing than not doing anything ....As simple as that .......
If people get their receipt, well and good ....or else just file and forget .....
But dont sit idle just because ur attornery does not want to file ....
Dont think too much about the mail room or the employees or the contractos there or whoever ...........As I said, if u have receipt well and good, or else just file with other docs, but do file ....

Guys, let me say something here.
$5000 for one query is not an unfair amount of money. The reason I say this is because I know a thing or two about writing quality queries, I have done that for the last 6 years of my 9 year career querying the heck out of Oracle CRM.
It does take time to write queries and the time it takes depends on how many pieces of information you want to bring together. The wider your spreadsheet is for the final output, the more islands of data need to be connected to fetch that output. Those who are familiar with SQL would know that I am talking about going thru potentially 20-25 tables and joining them to get data. This is probably not going to be a select * from 485_cases kind of query. If it takes 100 hours of time to write such a query, at $50 per hour of programming time, it could be 5000. Most likely it may be fewer hours if they have a programmer with knowledge on staff.
The problem here is not 5000 dollars. The problem here is that the situation is hopeless because they dont assign country of chargeability to pending 485 cases up until they are ready to approve them, if I read it correctly. The data that is not captured is the data that cannot be queried, simple as that.
And on that note, thanks to "Needhelp!" for shining some light on USCIS process thru her FOIA.

My lawyer asked me $400 / form as his fees so $1600 lawyer fees to apply for Spouse and mine EAD , AP. Plus $1300 USCIS fees. All this to fill a one page no brainer form. I decided to file it myself but I am sure there are lots of people who will pay them for that and why would they want 2 years EAD when they can make money every year for so little effort.
In this big black hole we are alone, not the govt. nor the lawyers really care for what goes with us. USCIS is just a money making machine for the govt. Rules are made complex and there are several layers of forms. I wonder why a person should go thru 2 stages before filing for I-485. Or why they have 5 different forms filled Labor/I-140/I-485/I-760/I-131 blah blah blah when they could just do it with 1 form like any other country have or may be 2 layers, labor and I-1485. There's no logic of having to file I-140/I-760/I-131. It's all money game...

You can apply for ITIN even if your spouse is not in US. I have done it ealrier but the only condition is she shouldhave visited US on dependent visa last year for your to claim?
-Udaya.
My wife never been to US and I am married for 2 years now. I have been filing my return as Single.
Last week I talked to IRS and they said I can apply for her ITIN without her being present in US. The condition of visiting US applied to other dependents and not for the spouse. She has to sign my tax return though that I have to mail it to her and she will mail it back to me with her signature.
Not sure how true is that and I don't know if I should give it a try or not.
Thanks.

I never knew Hindi is a local language in US:D Moreover I dont have anything against Hindi or any other language. Its the personal experience with people on more than one occasion.
You should know that Consulates and Embassys , even though in a foreign land, are considered a part of the nation they represent. So, legally Indian consulate is NOT in US land , it is in Indian land .
Just the way some people faced rude behaviour and inconvenience for not knowing Hindi, I have faced equal rude behaviour , inconvenience and outright cheating for not knowing Tamil during my trip to Chennai and Madurai. Should I forma general opinion about Tamilians ?

Hi
I am posting the link for the EAD FAQ available from the USCIS. I still have not received my card but it says online that the approval notice was sent on June 30th....so not sure if its one year or 2 years and if its the actual card or just a notice.
Anyways here is the link.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/2yrEAD_FAQ_061208.pdf
Please see the part regarding the validity period of the card and if you believe you got the wrong dates then what needs to be done.
If I am filing for a replacement EAD under 8 C.F.R., Section 274.a.12(c)(9), how long is the EAD valid?
If an individual requests to replace an EAD that has not expired, USCIS will issue a replacement EAD that is valid through the same date as the previously issued EAD. However, if the previous EAD has expired, USCIS will process the request for a renewal EAD and determine the appropriate validity period based on the Department of State Visa Bulletin and the applicant�s priority date. If USCIS determines that an applicant has filed multiple Forms I-765, the agency may deny the applications for the replacement or renewal EAD.
If I believe I have received an EAD with the wrong validity period or other incorrect information who should I contact?
If you believe that you have received the wrong validity period, you should contact the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or 1-800-767-1833 (TTY).
For additional information, or if your application has been approved and you have not received your EAD, please contact the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or 1-800-767-1833 (TTY)

Saket
