First congrats to everybody here able to benefit from this great news. For the rest of the road still loooooooong to go. 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.

How about a candle night vigil outside all state capitals, one Friday/Saturday/Sunday evening? This is a symbolic gesture for the slow death of our green card dreams.

I got a RFE on my 485 on 11th April and I have responded to it. By next week it would be 60 days by which USCIS has to take some decision. What would be the status update as my PD is Aug 2006.
Is it normal to get RFE while PD is not current?

I would be really surprised if they are not rude and customer friendly. Its the curse of Indian Govt employe's attitude. No matter where they go...they can not change. Most of the time their service is pathetic,rude and unfriendly. Unfortunately they are representing india to all over the world.

To be brief:
Any location restrictions when using AC21?
I�ve been laid off as of Friday last week.
My employer started laying off people an year ago and there were too many cycles so far. I was immune to all those layoffs until Friday. They eliminated everybody in my team, 15 people in total.
I am in the final stage of my GC and I have 2 year EAD. My H1 is expiring in March and my (ex) employer already paid my Attorney for the 3 year extension. They have decided to extend my H1 and paid for the expenses. But in the mean time, they were forced by the investors to show profitability and hence the layoffs.
My (ex) employer is based in Massachusetts and my Labor Certification was done from this location.
I have received job offers from some of my employer�s clients. However, they are based in other States (CO, OH & WA for instance) and they might not be able to do my H1. One of them is interested in hiring me on a contract basis, since they had frozen new hiring.
Is taking a job outside of Massachusetts impact my pending I-485? or Will it violate my Labor Certification conditions? I couldn�t find an answer for this anywhere.
Also, can I take contract jobs for the time being?
I sent out an email to my Attorney with all these questions. But, he is not available until Tuesday next week.
Please post your answers, comments and suggestions.
Thanks!

Yabadaba,
"Moron" is an insult. I don't insult anyone. If you don't like my posts, just ignore them.
Regards,
The Ombudsman
Ombudsman is right. This is a public forum and if you dont like something ignore it. I personally find, Ombudsman's posts quiet interesting and good food for thought. They are put forward in a very professional manner unlike some people who use insults and sarcasm.
Cheers

Hello,
During the July 2007 fiasco I applied for I485 and I got my EAD and AP, but I have not used the EAD and still using and maintaining my H1.
Here is my dilemma, 2 years ago I went to India and used my AP when entering US though I had a valid H1 but I did not get the Visa stamped and after entering US on AP I am still using and maintaining my H1 and NOT using EAD. Recently I also got a 3 year extension on my H1.
Now I am applying for my new AP as the old one is expired. My question to you gurus is what should I put in the "Class of Admission" field? Shall I put the AOS or H1?
TIA

Thank you for that info. I was not visiting the forums regularly then, and the only time I saw it was when IV core was already supporting it and encouraging everyone to do it. I have seen many great ideas on the forums.
Flower campaign wasnt started by iv (atleast not by the seniors), it slowly gathered momentum on its own and produced results. After seeing this bulletin I ve lost hope in all this lobbying and stuff. We need publicity and more of it. Fasting for a day if organized by iv could bring more results.

I understand that it might be late and filing a case might be expensive etc. But how come people like murthy.com etc. were willing to fight the sudden revoking of I-485 by UCIS along with AILF? It will only be hypocritical to consider that as injustice and this as not. I don't think filing a case is going to bring the whole process to a halt. The BEC will still continue to process the cases while this case goes on.
We have to do away with all those naysayers and all those IFs and BUTs. I don't belive in it.
We know we have a justified case here and it is a simple matter of whether we are willing to fight.
Why can't we get the support of AILF for this or other law firms? I know there are enough people who have been affected to justify that.
I am with you buddy, but u have to understand
1. AILF will not file such case as they dont have big numbers of people supporting it as plaintiff
2. Your reasons are justified but you forgot one thing: US govt agencies (whether it is USCIS, DOS or DOL) treat immigrants as with the principle "beggars are not choosers", so per them you as an individual and your feelings doesnt matter much
3. Try to think positively, even though everyone will file 485 now but come Oct and if your labor is approved by that time you will be much ahead of everyone and you will not loose your place in the line. I am sure u will get GC approval before most of the July filers
Stay positive, stay calm. May God bless you!!

Hi all,
Sorry to be asking again, but I needed some details on changing employers before Oct 1st.
Here's the situation. I am currently on H4 and got my H1B approved this year through a consultancy with start date of Oct 1st 2007 (lucky to get through lottery).
I only have a copy of the H1B approval notice.
A few days back I got an offer for a full time position with another company (NOT a consultancy). And they are willing to do my H1B.
I learned through this forum, that applying for a change of employer before Oct 1st with an approved H1B, is like getting a new H1B only i'm already counted against the cap for the fiscal year. And because it's considered "new" paystubs are not required. Hope I've got this much right.
My questions are:
1. Are all the documents required the same as when you apply for a new H1B ? Only you also have to add the approved H1B notice?
2. Is it ok if a COPY of the H1B approval notice is sent? Consultancy had a verbal agreement with me that I should work for a year with them , but I don't think anything is on paper. Also they said they would only give me my H1B approval notice (original) once I was placed on a project with them.
3. Does the job title have to be the same? Consultancy applied as Programmer Analyst, and the new company needs a Web Programmer/Server Administrator. Would that cause any issues?
4. The new company plans to do premium processing, so if all goes well, can I start working with them as soon as the receipt notice comes in, or do I have to wait till I have the approval notice in hand?
5. Can the consultancy cause any problems for me with respect to my H1B? Is there any way they can find out about this and revoke my H1B?
If anyone has been through this and got their H1B approved with a different employer before the H1B start date, then please post your replies here. What were the hurdles , and what should I be wary of to ensure everything goes smoothly?

If it is an IBM 3270, 5250, etc mainframe it still wouldn't take that long.
Let me take it a step further.
If the information is stored as a segregated flat file, it won't take that long.
One could just proxy a perl/java gateway and write a script to parse data.
Who does it.. make all the difference.
K, I did not intend to get into a technical discussion here, When I made the initial post. There are issues at government agencies beyond the technical nitty gritty and my post was to point out that the skill set required is not the SQL/CRM of today. Suggestions such as we can offer expertise in return does not go any where as the systems on which the databases reside are not playgrounds, where we can write code and extract what ever we want. There are change control issues, security clearance issues, just to name two on top of my head. The total time for response is not just the time it takes to develop and run a computer program and provide us results. There are administrative issues at different level of abstractions at every org and CIS sure does have a bit more of that. All these consume time. At this point, the NRC response does not indicate time but indicates cost. We are trying to find the total time it takes to send a response back to us. Based on the response time, further action needs to be taken. It is illogical and absurd to just keep thinking technically. Take of your techie hat and think beyond. All comments in jest!
For those who are wondering big time that the country of charge ability/nationality is not captured in CLAIMS, you must have missed that stake holder meeting in which CIS clearly mentioned that it will take lot of $$ to re design their system to capture biographic information and will not be able to do so. Well, what can you say, even after raising the fees by 100% CIS does not have the money to serve beneficiaries who keep filing their flagship cash cow applications such as I-131/I-765. If some one still have the link, please post it.

I probablly know the answer to my own question, but would like to know other opinions. My lawyere tells me this. Since the dates were current when I filed for my I485 in July, the application will be processed regardless of what the dates are right now. Another words, he thinks that even though the dates are showing as 2002, my application will be processed since when we filed, they were current.
is this true. If so, then provided I pass background check in time, i should expect my GC in a year or so. but if I have to wait until 2002 Row becomes current, in my case 2005.. then I am majorlly scrwed...

I'm not sure about the assumption that IEEE/US is anti-immigration group. They have lobbied for the PACE act in Senate and STEM act in the house: http://www.ieeeusa.org/policy/issues/innovation/index.asp
Both of them are for skilled immigrants. I cannot imagine that they will sabotage SKIL bill.
Yep. My impression is that IEEE USA is anti H1b, but it supports EB visa. For those who rail against desi consulting firms, IEEE USA is the friend, not the foe.

Something can happen if we have a Democrat Congress which is filibuster-proof, meaning > 60% of total membership must be Democrats, AND a Democrat President, then something good could happen for us. It might not be exactly what we like because "undocumented" will get the same as well, but atleast also get what we want.
Nothing good will happen for us if we have a Republican Congress and Republican President. They will just make life hard for all of us --legal or undocumented alike. If we are having a hard-time getting a Driver's License right now, then expect worse if this combination happens next year plus the continuing recession.
Republican Congress + Republican President + Recession = NIGHTMARE FOR IMMIGRANTS
They will put all the blame on us, which is already happening right now.

HP, Cisco, TCS, Deloitte, IBM, SAP, ORCL....I am going to add one more so called big firm BEARINGPOINT (formerly known as KPMG consulting).
I know that Fragomen specifically guides and runs the visa/GC related matters of Bearingpoint. They charge 10,000 dollars for a GC case and give clear cut instrucation to Bearingpoint that do not file GC till the very last moment. I left Bearingpoint (16000+ employees and offices in 43 countries...sounds great doesn't it?) because of my immigration issues caused by Fragomen. I joined a desi consulting company with 2 employess. This desi company manager took my GC file in his hand, drove to attorney office and asked him to file it ASAP. No waiting period, no nothing....
Big corporation + Fragomen is a deadly/toxic combination. Stay away from it if you can.
