My wife got her H1b petition approved but not the change of status, that is she did not get the I94 along with the approval (she was outside the country at the time of approval). I know that she should be going out of the country and get the visa before she can start working. But After some research I found that there is another option, which is filing "amendment petition".
Has anyone done this before. If anyone has done this please share your experiences.
Does she has any H1 visa stamped in her passport?

by congressional staff. Because the CR (Congressional Record) of SA 187 and SA 180 refer to the same CR .
Or
it is possible that SA 180 is merged with 187, as I read ( I can post) the Senate discussion verbatim and Senator Kennedy introduced SA187. And the CR record has these confusing.
S.AMDT.187 to H.R.2 , by Kerry Refers to CR S1121--Passed (does not contain backlog or immigration provisions)
S.AMDT.180 to H.R.2 , by Kennedy Refers to CR S1088-1104 --Not Passed/not voted--(S1088-1104---consists of Backlog reduction provisions).
We missed it guys......very narrowly.

You don't contribute for FOIA. You don't want to accept that FOIA will help us. Thats your decision. IV does a lot things both in public and behind the scenes. All of this require money and time. You haven't contributed in past either. You come to IV and write post like these to make yourself feel better thinking you are doing something for your GC process. Fact is you are not helpful yourself. IV is nothing but people like you and me who are in the line for GC.
For a new action I would like you to lead it. You should meet your local law makers. Tell your personal story about the GC struggle. Ask them to bring up recapture and other bills which will help us. Then work with other people on the IV forum as well as in real world to do same.
I thought IV core is supposed to come out with action items (or lead - all they need to do is come out with an action thread and people will follow).
if people were to follow all calls from ordinary members then 2 things would have happened ..one IV would have been more dynamic (Since everyone is calling for action items) and people would be running in all directions.
this is probably my last post ..what is frustrating is that whenever anyone asks genuine questions ..people just jump and attack.
as for lobbying ...the maths is simple ..if IV is collecting around 10k (or less) every month ..then it will take 5 plus years to collect the money for any sensible lobbying ...

I've heard one successful case who's CSPA age was 3 days over, but eventually his lawyer helped him got the visa. I'm hoping I can get some feedback or information on more similar cases. If anyone has ever heard about a similar situation (petition filed before Sep. 11, 2001, aged-out by CSPA, but benefited from Patriot Act 45-days extension), please let me know. Thanks!

So now this thread has turned into a sob story of how a handful of misused EB1 visas are bad for the whole group (i am a screwed up low level EB3, i am not in competing with EB1's or 2 or 4's for that matter) ...we just need some bad guys to pin the blame on. We are loosing sight of the big picture here. We can either complain or cry or do nothing, to each his/her own. write a letter to the authorities. they will take 5 years to investigate and 10 more visas will be available to for redistribution to Eb2 from EB1, meanwhile we will create a new thread everymonth and complain how messed up the system is and how screwed up we are...:p.
...reminds me of a quote from Maya Angelou:
"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."
Lets all get together and work for visa recapture, it is free of country and category caps, everyone will benefit.

Hi everyboby,
I have question about the "deadline" to get non-profit job. Now I'm on OPT and looking for non-profit job. My OPT will expire on 1/14/2008.
Do you know how long will I get the H1-B visa after I apply for it? If my OPT is expired but the H1-B visa has not come yet (but applied for it), am I still legal to work?
My question is: if it take, for example, 3 months to issue the visa, and I still have not get a job on 10/14/2007, then I should give up and find a community college to get a F-1 visa, right? Am I correct? So, is there any "deadline" in my case?
Please give me some advices....Thanks!

As some of you know, I have been working with news media, government leaders, and immigration lawyers over the past year because of the stimulus debacle. As a result, I have developed some strong contacts in government. I will be meeting some congressional immigration staffers in the next few days and I have developed a list of issues to discuss. If you want to post your own issues, feel free to do so in this thread and I will add them to the list. These are the same people who helped get the last stimulus bill changed in our favor, so they do have influence.
PLEASE be brief - bullet points would be good.
Also links to articles to support your concerns are welcome. I will put together a package to hand out at the meeting.
I thought of posting a poll on this thread, but decided it would be better to leave the discussion open ended.
WOW!!.. whats a response.. Keep going..
At the same time, keep trying yourselves also by whatever means possible. Totoro is trying so hard for us, and even if we have five guys like this with such contacts, yet the efforts are not sufficient. We must also help ourselves by our individual efforts like writing to change.gov etc.. Lets not put all the 6 pages of ideas in just one basket. Since there is difference between eggs and ideas, duplicate the ideas and put them in other ways also, apart from just here.
Totoro,
Thanks for your efforts.
We all missed one point. Can you please update your profile.
Are Canadians also backlogged in this mess.
And you said "As some of you know...." . Were you try in these lines before too.

I am staying near the event.We can share the room and can go by cab.
How can we get in touch directly?

I booked my ticket a month ago but haven't yet figured out accommodation and travel within DC. I'm flying into DC on Sunday, 3rd morning.
Is someone looking to share a hotel room? Alternately, is any DC area member still looking to offer a spare sleeping bag? :)
I don't know how the DC area works but would preferably like to stay closer to the event hotel. If not, I'm open to renting a car and sharing cost to get in/out of DC (heard the traffic is a nightmare though).
Please PM me directly or reply here. I'm joining the conference call tonight as well.

There is no point in educating a mass of angry, frustrated EB3-I folks.
SO WHAT IS THE BLOODY PROBLEM??? Wait your turn patiently like everyone else, or upgrade your skills and education to apply for EB2 jobs. Stop bitchin' and moanin' and trying to find shortcuts in life. There are none.
Dear I_GOT_SKILLZ,
I have resisted to respond to any of your posts till now.
Please note that GC is only one of the life's important things. There are several important things in life that one has to pass till death.
We are suffering like this for our past sins. Few of EB3's might be INS officers in their past life who did not treat immigrants well and suffering now. But past few years have cleansed our sins due to the sufferings we are under going due to GC.
On the other side, you are enjoying our sufferings. You have been hurting every one here including EB2, EB3 or any one that see your post.
Many dictators have thought there is no one to oppose them and God gave them punishment. I am sure 90% of EB3's here will have good life.
And take my words: You will suffer every day from now on. Either you stop enjoying other's sufferrings or count your sins. God will have enough punishment for you.

texcan, it is a bit off topic but it is so funny.....
This really captures a lot of what all the "desis" do. Eat a lot of food and watch movies.
Me and my friends joke about it all the time. We try very hard to break from it but its really hard.
On a serious note I agree one should live life to the fullest but I think there is a balance.
Money is not everything but one shouldn't go bankrupt or end up in foreclosure trying to live life to the fullest.
I know those desis who are super savers and will never improve life style and I know those who are always on the edge of bankruptcy because they wanted to live the american dream.
I believe there are always two camps in any group, different view points, ideas and observations.
I firmly believe even if words are harsh from some members they donot mean that bad, or they just simply cant see other's view point.
Over last few year, i have observed something and that bothers me, the point is
"We (Indians) are interesting people, we want to live as an indian in america";
save a lot of money, go home(india) for 15 days ....say bad things about india
and then come here...start saying bad things about america.
I like some points aobut half hearted work from some fellows. I totally agree.
Here is my simply take, if we want to live and compete hapilly, we have to really live in america as an american.
How can an indian who slept all afternoon on weekend, then watched a movie and ate heavy dinnner at night with 5 indian families who all taked about negative things in america; will /can compete with american on monday morning...when this american
got up early on saturday, ran 10 miles ...full of energy....took his/her kids for camping or went on its own, ran /exercised on sunday may be a long trek in woods...he is fresh, ready to work, creative...
I donot think anyone who slept all week/watched movie/talked negative about american society /about america can compete with someone who lived for full weekend.
These are just small observations.
In short, most of us are still living an indian life in america. This will not take us far,
If we want to be happy we got to live as an american in america.
Money is not everything,a big bankbalance will do no good to anyone at age of 65 when you cant move your leg let apart run or play.
I also believe, we (indians) donot give time to ourselves. Ex. husband, wife, kids all together all the time. No good, give time to yourself, do somtihngs togehter and some things seperately, This will give time to observe life as an individual too.
how many indian go out for just all boys groupings, not many. Why??? how bad it can be, when you just go out kick some dust drink beer if you please, atleast releax.
When i started doing it, it was lot of fun.
Same should be with girls, wives, you all should go out and do things with your friends for a change.
same for kids, if your kids want to go camping with school friends, let them go. Let kids live their life. Imaging what your kids talks about weekend, when rest of american kids talk about running in wood, fishing, hunting, mud racing.....????
Just my thoughts and i believe in living life to fullest; and try to live it to fullest too.
