I wonder... just wonder... Was the lack of any favorable items in CIR for either EB greencards or H1 B visas done with the knowledge that a week after the bills set back, all of a sudden a lot of people can apply for I485 (and hence take advantage of EAD/AP and eventually AC21 portability)...

I think there is a bipartisan support for the schedule A visa recapture and moreover its a nations documented shortage professions. I think this recapture of nurse visas is imminent no matter what we do.I think our focus should be undiluted towards the CIR, and it should not divert our focus from that. Opposing the nurse shortage would in fact show is in a poor light and we should make an reasonable yet a firm approach towards a long term approach to the issue.There is allready a talk to completely exempt nurses from the visa cap, and i hence feel our opposition would appear irrational. Really appreciate what IV been doing, there is no quick fix to the problem, the goal should be approached systematically and persistently.

If the media holds Obama to the same standard as they do the republicans, you will see the democrats crumbling faster than a cookie.
There is so much hypocrisy in the media. If women vote for Sarah Palin it is wrong because you voting her just because of his gender. But oh, if you are black and dont vote Obama, then you are the most odious person living in this world. How will you explain your kids that you did not support a black person for presidency? This kind of duplicity is keeping Obama look good in the eyes of people. Throw off your goggles and you will see the same issues with Obama that you see with Sarah.
Also, so many low intensity criminals are asked to do community service, that does not qualify them to become the president of US. And what happened to his moral fiber when he changed his opposition to the telco immunity bill and voted so that he does not look bad on security issues? Did he use that fiber to get rid of his constipation issues??
abuse of power is the issue I see with Sarah Palin. Give me an example where Obama abused power? I gave you three for Sarah Palin.

Response I got from the Senator.....
Thank you for contacting me to share your views about the proposed framework for comprehensive immigration reform. It is an honor to serve as your Senator, and I appreciate hearing from you.
Like you, I understand that our country's foundation has been strengthened by our proud tradition of immigration, and I believe that people who work hard, contribute to our economy, and respect the law should always be welcome in the United States. At the same time, I also believe our current immigration system is broken. We need strong legislation to restore the rule of law and strengthen the security of our borders and the integrity of our workforce.
As you know, a group of Senators, including Majority Leader Reid, released their REPAIR Proposal (Real Enforcement with Practical Alternatives for Immigration Reform). This proposal outlines a framework of policy recommendations aimed at restoring security at our borders, cracking down on employers hiring illegal immigrants through an employment verification system, and establishing a strictly regulated system for earning legal permanent residency. To ensure enforcement, the framework also calls for increased border patrol personnel, resources, and technology, and lays out a policy for administering temporary work and student visas.
The framework for comprehensive immigration reform has not yet been introduced as legislation in the Senate. Please know that I will continue to monitor the status of this proposed framework, and I will keep your views in mind when the Senate takes up immigration reform.
Thank you, again, for sharing your thoughts with me. I hope you will continue to keep me informed about the issues that matter most to you.
All my best,
Jeff Merkley
United States Senator

I know the reason for issuing H4 visa is to be with the primary H1B. Therefore i can understand why some people will say that is why H4 are not allowed to work. But the reality is that for all other employement based visas or immigrant visas there is only 1 primary applicant. Like when you get AD after 485 stage, your spouse also gets AD. Also L2 visa holders who are dependents of L1 visa holders get work permits. Its only the H4 visa holder who do not get work permits. It beats me why in the world law makers did not allow work permits for H4 when they allow work permits for L2 and give EAD cars for spouses during 485 stage.

I doubt if the house is going to toe the senate line on the CIR. The new bill that has been introduced in the House is seen as a rebuke to Bush, directly contradicting the Senate version. I think this CIR will be killed in the house if it somehow passes the Senate.

Just got the information from Murthy.
RFEs or Denials May Not Be Based on Wikipedia Information
The USCIS has been known to use an ever-growing number of publicly available sources, including internet sources such as Wikipedia. AILA members have been receiving denials based on the USCIS's use of information found on Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia to which anyone in the world may contribute information. As such, it should not be considered an objective or completely reliable source of information. SCOPS advised that it has notified the service centers and there should not be additional RFEs or denials based upon Wikipedia.
It should be noted that, as a corollary, applicants and petitioners should not try to use Wikipedia as support for their filings or arguments, since it has been deemed an unreliable source.

Hi.
My friend's wife is in a tricky situation. She has an approved EAD through her husband's I-485 petition.
She was working with company A on her own H-1 and decided to quit employer A and join new company B on EAD. At the very last minute company B has rescinded her job offer. She now cannot return to former employer A as well.
Is she in any status violation if she justs sits at home with an EAD but no job for a few weeks ?
Can anyone share their views ?
Thank You.

Considering a new labor is approved in EB2 (through same or different employer), can another I-140 be filed with older EB3 PD? In that case what happens to already filed I-485 application (EB3)? Can it be adjusted with new I-140 in EB2? I was wondering if anyone has done that.

Hi folks,
I used to work in company A where my I-140 got approved but I was laid off. Now I am with company B in a higher position and pay but B has delayed filing my PERM. As the economy is bad so I am looking to go back to A and file 485 when PD is current. I need to give a copy of H1 for transfer from B to A. Will i be needing the original H1 copy from B at any time as B gave me a copy not the original (weird).
Thanks

excellent idea!
i think if we are paying for something we should have the ownership it too.
lets format a reply saying that 5K is too much for the job...if they can give us their Data Model diagram, we can give them the code in a week without any cost.

One way is to invest regularly in 401 K. By that way you let your investments grow tax free and if you have to or go back to India then you can withdraw them next year, TAX free or less tax. Thus you actually pay less tax and ultimately you might pay lesser tax than your social security. Who cares if the social security is being taken from me.

whats with the quotes...comparing to Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr...Please dont kid yourself.
They did it for their country and fellowmen to be free from the clutches of oppression (a much serious issue than green card i think). Although even that is extended selfishness (cos of being Indian or African American) but they dedicated their entire lives for that cause.
We are not even close...this is just for MY GREEN CARD!
am i wrong?
Don't you think you are not free from the clutches. If getting some green card relieves so many people from clutches why not fight for it?

sorry to hear about your new issue. Your case can be easily fought back, cheer up. My case was AC 21 and fortunately my I 485 was approved last month without any RFE, but before approval I spoke to NSC customer service and got hold off a very good guy , who happened to be very helpful, he mentioned that the letter requesting to port the employer or change of attorney need to be addressed to appropriate division, failure to do will cause all these problems, since it take time for the USCIS to route the letter to correct division and most likely getting lost. The only solution to address this kind of problem is to bring the much needed regulation to AC 21 , a formal application process where we can track the progress.
Cheer up, good luck
regards
kris
I never understood until this point how come a letter requesting to port job using AC 21 in most cases never reach the file, whereas the letter requesting to revoke I 140 from employers are getting processed in 99% of the case. maybe its an excuse to get rid of some of the backlog :confused::confused:

If you are on H-1B, when you are leaving this country, your bank will have to close your accounts by law now. There can not be any residual accounts. I will confirm this with my bank and let you know.

Getting rid of semilar\same job requirement is going to be as easy or as difficult as getting prefiling AOS.
Getting rid of same\semilar job is not semilar to getting to green card. If you are a software person then you can put a restriction that you have to work in a software related job, in the same way if you a civil engineer then you should work in the civil engineering field. But the way USCIS does same\semilar job is job code match, responsibilities match etc etc etc, the problem with this is it is a very grey area, it is almost like doing labor all over again. It has not become that bad yet but it will sooner or later, how many H1b rfe\denials did you know in the last 2 years, I bet there are more H1 denials in the last 2 months than the whole of last 4 years.
I'm hoping this does come through. This is a great step and I'm surprised that the Secretary brought this up on her own. However, hydboy's point is true. This will be most useful if AC21 is honored by USCIS. Kiran's point about convenience for visa stamping doesn't move me. The biggest advantage of applying for AOS is being able to move jobs after 6months using AC21. Anyway, I guess it all depends on the numbers. How many people have had issues with AC21 versus how many have had no issues with AC21. Also in almost everything in life, the ones with negative experience will be more vocal than the the ones who've had a positive experience.
