Hi,
My employer has filed second extension and due to the fees was not sent with the proper amount they sent back the application saying it has denied and sent an I-290B with it to apply for appeal, i just got a letter and my H1 was exp in Dec 07 please help what shall i do, i am in helpless state my employer is working but any help or info is much appreciated.
Thanks
Bob:(
Do not worry as long as the appeal is filed and with a lawyer cover letter explaining the mistake.
The most important thing is that you are in status when you filed ... which seems so, since u r filing extension and not transfer

Alongwith permission for H4 to work, there are several other problems that legal immigrants face in USA. However, lets face it ... its always a small set of people who are fighting for their green cards. After a prolonged wait, once they get the GC, they move on with their life, forgetting their own ordeal in the past, and ignoring the future problems of fresh GC aspirants in the queue.
Even the fresh GC aspirants who come to USA on H1/L1 visa, do not understand the importance of staying on top of their GC application and start organizing themselves. Mostly they realize the gravity of situation couple of year after their arrival, and start venting their anger and frustation on immigration forum like this.
A majority of immigrants think that the immigration doors should shut down immediately after they get their GC's. This transformation takes place overnight. I have never heard that from such a large population of immigrants who are settled in USA, anyone ever raised their voice supporting the legal immigration.
Lets face it ... its an unjust world ... we have lots of problems as far as legal immigration is concerned. But how many of us who are boiling with frustation here, will ever work and spend our time and energy on immigration related issues once we get the green card/citizenship?
BTW, I am just throwing some light on the basic root cause of this problem... no war of words please ... just peace.

I think I-485 filing clause is needed. Please note that the USCIS is not staffed enough. So there is a high possibility that the priority date retrogression will continue even if all the current provisions included in the Frist bill is passed. They will retain the retrogression in order to control the number of applications. In such a scenario, it is important for us to try and introduce the I-485 clause, so that people could get their EAD while they wait for USCIS to clear the mess. My 2 cents.
This actually CUD very well happen. It may be good for IV to consider that.

I second this idea.
Why can't we move from a free service to a membership based and see how many people still continue ... evenif with 25K members it is only a handful who are active and part of the initiative ... so I would suggest to go for a membership ...
it could be a per month basis or pay a big amount and get membership for life or year ... say $200 for a year or $20 for a month ... we don't need the number/mass unless they are active in all way ... just my thoughts ... hope the IV core team will consider that ... enough of free rides ... now pay for it and get the access to forums ... :mad:

For President immigration is one of the important issue but not the top most priority. In that high skilled immigration is a part of the immigration. EB reform is just a very small for them compared many challenges in the country. But any President will not Veto any high skilled immigration bill if passed in congress. So congress needs to be satisfied in this issue. I think congress has more power in dealing with immigration.
You said you dont want to get into the discussion on who is better and yet by explicitly mentioning who you think is better, it seems discussion is started :D Being a Friday evening - work slow and I cant help but jump in :)
American presidential politics are highly media driven. When I came to this country and started following politics closely (12+ years ago), initially I was fascinated by all the discussions and transparent process etc. But over the years got convinced that its all a facade - election process here is as much flawed as in a "third world" country. Election 2000 is the biggest proof. Even worse, here people are easily swayed by non-issues. Media creates hype and media creates perceptions about a candidate, real issues and concerns takes back seat most of the times. Just see now - for last couple weeks everyone is talking about a VP candidate - the power of a VP is limited but yet everyone is talking about her and almost forgot the presidential candidate of the same party. The republican favoring press wants to project her as the next savior (which unfortunately seems to be working) and whip up their cadre. The democratic favoring press wants to project her apparent inexperience etc. We may soon see who is going to win in their "spin". In general republicans are pretty good in spin stories and project an apparently dumb candidate as someone with "whom you can have a beer with" and get him elected; now they might even succeed in projecting a 30+ year senator who backs current administration as an agent of change !!?!!! and people might even fall for that argument. Of course there are spin stories on the other side too.
Anyways, whoever wins this time - I think our situation wont change much and might even get worse. As the economy get worse - it would be very difficult to get any new bill favoring us (note I am talking about EB green cards not H1B). There is already a good effort by likes of numbersusa and programmers guild to project HR5882 as if it will kills jobs. As we know HR5882 is only for recapturing unused greencards the beneficiaries of which are mostly in this country already. It should have been a completely non-controversial bill - if we can see the resistance its facing we can imagine about any other bill that propose increase of GC numbers or something such. So prospects for anything better happening is very poor irrespective of who the next president is - that's my reading on this.

Hi,
1. I am on L1 with current company A(with current i-94 expiring in Nov 2007). I got my H1 approval this year from consultant B and they got the I-797B. This document shows the validity from Nov 2007-2010. But I have heard people get something called I-797A which has a new I-94 attached to it and in my case it is not.
Here are my questions.
1. Can I start working for consultant B from Oct 1.(after quitting the company A with L1).?
2. What should I do since I have current I-94 only till Nov 15th 2007 and if I ask my current company A to extend it they wont do because I want to leave them as early as possible before Oct 1st.
3. Can my consultant file for the change of STATUS from L1 to H1B(the approval for which I have already received from USCIS) and then in that case it will have new I-94 attached.
4. Anyother suggestions what should I be doing so that I can start working on H1 after Oct1st here and then whenever I go back to India, after 4 or 5 months I will have the Visa stamped.
Thanks in advance.
Here are my answers, may be wrong use it at your own risk.
1. Can I start working for consultant B from Oct 1.(after quitting the company A with L1).?
No u cannot. Since u said the valid date is from Nov 07.
2. What should I do since I have current I-94 only till Nov 15th 2007 and if I ask my current company A to extend it they wont do because I want to leave them as early as possible before Oct 1st.
U have to leave the country and re-enter agin so that u will get a new I-94.
3. Can my consultant file for the change of STATUS from L1 to H1B(the approval for which I have already received from USCIS) and then in that case it will have new I-94 attached.
I don't think its possible, may be worng.
4. Anyother suggestions what should I be doing so that I can start working on H1 after Oct1st here and then whenever I go back to India, after 4 or 5 months I will have the Visa stamped.
Its illegal to work before the start date mentioned and also since ur I-94 will expire u have to leave the country.

I think the issue of Economic Stimulus Package and H-4 dependents is losing the momentum. Where is everyone????
I agree ---- I think the momentum is slowing down...
at least can we not take any legal action for issuing out a rule (you can file MFS and get the stimuls and then amend MFJ) on 04/14/2008??? what about people who filed a long time ago as MFJ?? Because once you filed MFJ, the action is irrevocable!?! In my honest opinion, this stupidity of issuing out a clause the day before filing deadline deserves some "stir"!!

I am already in the porting phase. My EB2 labor is in process. I just hate to see those still in EB3 hoping their day will come. They need to port their applications right away, or those with recent filings using fake experience will be ahead of them coz EB2 gets processed first with all the spill over.
And I would rather help them than someone like you who would not even disclose your info. You are a clear example of someone trying to walk the walk of the illegal aliens.
And what makes you think it is silly socialist? Unless you are one of the new graduates with a bachelor's degree with 5 years of experience on your resume.
My bad.. I misread your post. Your words sounded as if you were complaining about ethical reasons and not porting even if you were eligible to do so. It looks like you are the right thing already by porting.

Now the USCIS had made july bulletin Current again, Everyone with an approved LC can apply. But after Aug 17th The Visa numbers will be unavailable again. USCIS is not going to approve many 485 in this one month period. There may be few lucky ones to get approval between july 17th and aug 17th.
But PD matters when the new fiscal year starts in october. If the dates are retrogressed to 2003 or 2004, USCIS will approve 485 that have PDs before the retogressed dates. Above all Backlog centers are committed to clear their backlogs before sep 30 2007. So there is still hope for those stuck in Backlog Centers that their PD is valuable when retrogression strikes.
Also expect huge delays in getting EADs and APs. IV should urge USCIS to issue interim EADs if EAD is not issued within 90 days.

I'm just starting my labor certification process this month and I'm very new to this whole greencard process. Is there any advice I can have to expedite my application before retrogression hits again. Hopefully it will be a little while before CIS brings us to reality of life. Any help to a poor man will be greatly appreciated.

Read it, Understand it and then please let me know if you still think that OP was in "unauthorized work", as this is what you have written before
Again, Thanks a bunch Desi3933. My case is pretty much same as 'Scenario 1' in this Murthy document.
Desi3933 cleared the 99% of the cloud surrounded this issue by pointing to murthy.com (I maintained valid status with 'Employer #2' and this doc says I am good to go). Thank you very much Desi3933.
Apologize for extending the topic....but one of the 'still open' question is what if the Second Employer H1B is 'NEW' and what if it is 'Transfer'.
Murthy document does not say about the Company B H1B is NEW or TRANSFERRED.
If New H1B and Transferred H1B are same....then problem is solved.
Many of you here said both are same. I assume so too. But, we haven't proved Gapala is wrong yet (no hard feelings gapala. it is not my intention to hurt you). if 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are different, Murthy should have mentioned in her Document, but she did not do that. So, can we safely assume, that 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are same.
Thank you everyone who responding to my post.

It is amusing to see that there are quite a few people who want the very door closed that they used to enter. It is even more amusing to see that the fault is always someone elses. It is similar to all the people who are opposed to immigration because it is someone elses fault that they are losing their job. Down right funny :p.
We need to focus on solving our problems without blaming others for our problems. Because once we go down that lane, we are no better than anyone from NumbersUSA or any other organization/ people who are against immigration. It is OK if we do not support increasing H1B - but saying that the H1B program needs to shutdown is not correct. I am sure that one can reason in the same breath that the EB3 category needs to be eliminated so that retrogression can truely be eliminated :eek:
I am proposing that it is better to completely eleminate EB3 than
having some kind of false promise of GC.
I know lots of IT guys from India fall for the Green card promise form employers even now (they say I applied and I should get in 2 years or so..
what should I say to those people)
By the way I am not "really" asking for H1B to be shut down. I am saying H1B
in its current form should be shut down. Obviously when the time comes
to actually shut it down, Corp America will panic and fix the problems.
In US, if Corp America really wants they WILL get it done.
In a presidencial election, a canadiate needs close to 100 million.
A senator needs around 2 million for an election.
Congressmen need lesser money and thats why they are more listening to local population (and oppose any H1B /EB etc) and can afford to oppose Corp America.
End 2006 when GOP Congress was trying to pass a rule
making illegal a felony and also a fine 50000$ per illigeal worker employer
employed it was the american chamber of commerce that took out the
big guns and ofcourse their surrogates/supporters orgaised those
Marches in April 2006.
However if GOP were to truly pander to their base they would have passed
that ( anyway illegals dont vote much)
