Considering, if lobbying with $ is how things work here and it will help the govt. to fund the war, I've a great idea.
Tell the lawmakers, we legal H1b highly skilled workers are willing to shell out $10K-$20K, if they can have a provision after I-140 to let us get I-485 Premium Processing. This fee, lets call it Premium processing GC fee, can help government in all the good ways.
Paying this premium processing is giving government funds to support various things namely balance budget, fund the troops in war.
IV should consider this seriously and debate.
Say what???

please post the names and email adddresses of the authors....so we can all contact them.
Clearly, legal, skilled immigrants from countires like India, China, Mexico and Phillipines are already facing 5-7 years backlogs and this bill, by reducing quotes from 140K to only 90K, is going to make this problem worse!!! To relieve this problem, they should've expanded quotas (atlteast temporarily), made soft countrycaps, and exempted dependents, but they are going in the totally opposite direction.
I read the bill posted for IV, and on page 259 it says for first 5 years after enactment, level of EB immigrants will be at 2005 levels (which was 246K)
90K will for for pending EB applicants, while ATLEAST 10K will for exceptional aliens in nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(Y). This means that these "exceptional aliens" will have a new quota of 246K-90K= 156K a year, while the qouta for existing EB immigrants will be reduced by 50K, thereby accentuating the horrific backlog that already
exists...
Question is, who are these "exceptional aliens" under section 101(a)(15)(Y)??
"exceptional aliens" - Any one having merit points tally in the top 146K of that year with or without Y visa (even H1 will do). For those with Y visa and having merit points tally in the top 156K of that year

Is there a specific stage in the process till which point i have to be in US. If I go back, I will go back to India on a job with the same employer and can come back later with the same employer. Thanks.
Technically No. But you never know what USCIS will ask for

Hi bouncer,
I just wrote a tutorial on how to call custom states programmatically or via code here: http://www.kirupa.com/blend_silverlight/custom_vsm_pg1.htm (the last two pages will be most helpful for you).
Are you unsure how to call the states, or are you unsure how to detect the direction of mouse movement?
Thanks,
Kirupa
I know how to call the states but not sure about the detection of mouse. I want to call each states on each direction.

Hi all,
This year I got my H1B approved with start date Oct 1st 2007 through a consultancy. I had also applied for GC in July (as derivative) and got my EAD October last week.
The consultancy hasn't placed me on project so far (it's been more than a month) , and I am concerned , if this period of "no pay" will affect my GC process in anyway.:(
The consultancy wants me to get an SSN now, because a couple of their clients want to know the SSN number before considering for projects.
Would getting an ssn number based on the H1B effect me in anyway later on.....in case it takes longer for the consultancy to assign me a project?:confused:
In the mean time I have been looking for jobs in my area , and if I find one before the consultancy assigns a project, I have decided to go ahead and use my EAD card.. and get SSN based on EAD.
Could someone please please let me know if there is any effect on GC if I get an SSN on H1B...or if I use EAD to get an SSN would it invalidate my H1B?:confused:
I would much rather be safe than sorry.
Thank you all for ur replies...

Hi,
I am currently holding L1 and B1 visa from a company A. Now some company B has applied for my H1 Visa. If I get H1b visa, does both L1 and B1 get cancelled.
Thanks.
Your L1 will be CWPed for sure. I went for H1B stamping multiple times, my B1 was not CWPed

This is extremely helpful. I did not even get so much information from the Call Center.
Thank you everyone for your ideas. I think I am finally ready for file for my EAD :)
If you have the ead card, the file #/card# will tell you which center was your EAD fiiled. To get an approximate date using the online case status search for the file number in the approximate range as yours. For Eg. if you card # is EAC 07 043 52343 - then the center is Vermont, Filed in Fisical year 07 ( Oct -06 - Sep 07) 043 is the 43rd working day in FY07 and 52343 is the case number.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for response guys...
Looks like i forgot to mention few of my own contraints...
I do not want to use EAD as i am single and don't want to jeoperdise my spouse visa by loosing my H1b status. So only option for me now is H1b.
My only concern is what if i lose some pay checks and jeoperdise my immigration history. 90% of my frinds who work with consultant are out of job/looking job..etc. All these makes bit pessimistic....!!!!

Sorry, I did not phrase it properly. Apologize.
The previous post was so frustrated because EB3 is unavailable. So I was trying to say, in his point of view, it would have been a different case if the PD is somewhere around 2005/2006/current, may be he would have been ok with the Bachelor's degree.
What I was trying to emphasize is - Many a times (not always) employers don't create job position with proper requirement and that causes employee to go in EB3.
I was hired for a position that required Masters and I fortunately was in EB2, but a colleague of mine, who is doing the similar work, was put in EB3 because his manager created the position with a requirement of Bachelors. He had a Master's degree. Here employee suffered because of his manager's ignorance however USCIS is messing up on top of that. EB3 is an umbrella category for many kind of workers...including those who don't even require a Bachelor's. Probably those people should be in a new category EB4 ...at least this will help EB3 with Bachelor's degree move forward.
Another thing is - Some people (not in this particular thread) don't care much about EB3 people and some are even thinking of filing lawsuit against interfile (so that people can't switch from EB3 to EB2). IMHO, these people need to change their opinion. If we fight among ourselves instead of against bad laws, we will be doomed. United we stand, divided we fall !!
The bottom line is - we are aware of the problems; we just need to support IV to fight against these problems.

You will be considered as an eligible non-citized once you have used your Advance Parole (obtained by filing I-131) to return to US after foreign travel. Your I-94 will have a parolee stamp, and you will need to submit that to the financial aid department of your school in proof of your "Eligible Non-citizen" status.
Once you have the parolee stamp on your I-94, file FAFSA online and your school will be notified as soon as they process your application. You will then contact the financial aid department at your school and submit a copy of your parolee stamped I-94. The process was very easy and quick at Arizona State University for my spouse.
Hope this helps.:)

Thanks Nathan for quick response.
But what do i need to do? Do i have to change my place of birth in my indian passport? Can i have "Nepal" as place of birth in my indian passport? Do i still remain indian citizen or would it be considered a fraud? I think, my parents put india as birth place, so i dont face any difficulty in india. what does Indian constitution say about citizenzip?
Are there more people like me here? who were born outside of india, but are Indian citizens?
Thank you for help

If any IV member works in the university, could you find out if there are any Indian and chineese assistant professors that have joined in the recent past. Such people might have applied in EB2 through university and will be retrogressed.
Also pls get in touch with post-docs in your universities and inform them about IV. Hopefully some of them might be willing to help us with the interview.

thanks, radhagd and md2003. yes, we've had a very long discussion about porting PD after two I-140 approved in this board. but seems nobody had this done successfully. So I wonder which way is worth to keep, EB3 with earlier PD (but my EB3 LC has not been started even recruiting processing yet) or EB2 in case I am already in 140 pending stage (in our company, to pursue EB3, I will have to cancel EB2)? any comments on this?
thanks
thanks
