my employment is terminated a month ago. I still need to file h1 transfer to the GC sponser. I am single
I am told that H1 can be transferred only with in 10 days-20 days or so. which means that it is already a month. so in case if I dont get the h1 or if I have an issue in the H1 transfer, is that the end of my being H1.
If I were to be on H1 again is it going to come under the cap along with those new H1 filers? I still have one and half years to complete 6 years.
I have a fall back to EAD though based an approved 140 and 180 days past 485.
But how do I get the spouse then???
Do H1 transfer (Premium processing) ASAP with AC21(similar job) and you should be in a good shape..

Does she need her H4 approved to have her prospective employer file the I 129? (or) Can she just provide the notice of action she received for her H4 extension filing along with her I 129 to show that she is maintaining status?
Any one??

After listening to both the shows, this week as well as last week, I am wondering if it was worth the effort for IV to participate in Debo Kotun's show. Here is my personal comments about the participants and the shows.
Debo Kutan: He did a pathetic job in moderating the shows. He not only spent about 25 minutes talking about his future shows(prior to beginning of today's show), but also repeating the same information from last week and pretty much asking the same questions. He was more interested in talking about his immigration decades ago and how he got his GC in one day, blah blah blah...Also, he mentioned that he was going to get Sen Kennedy & Sen Brownback to participate in today's show..but that was probably some publicity talk to draw more listener's to his show.He repeatedly questioned us to go back to our countries and solve our own problems and as well as theirs rather than trying to understand the root cause of the current situation. He turned out to be very ignorant of the immigration woes and did not seem like he had done any research prior to conducting his shows.
Swadha: She did a good job of explaining her situation and the difficulties she was facing due to the retrogression despite her excellent credentials and qualifications. Thanks to Swadha for her efforts in explaining her current situation due to retrogression.
Carl Shusterman: As popular,qualified and expert he is in the field of immigration, he just turned out to be very ignorant of the ground reality. I was as surprised as Swadha, when he mentioned that people with advanced degrees can get their GC's in a year. Despite having 2 advanced degree's I am still waiting for more than 3 years to be able to apply for I-485. The people most affected by this retrogression are citizens of India and China, not someone from Monaco or Namibia. He was more interested in promoting his Immigration firm and his website. Wish he had been more vocal in explaining the broken immigration system, rather than gaining some publicity for his firm.
Stuart Anderson: He did an excellent job explaining his research studies and how the current immigration laws are affecting the economy and its long term impact, if the immigration system is not rectified soon. Thanks to Stuart for his expert comments and explaining our situation in a wonderful manner.
Rajeev Khanna: He did a good job in the last weeks show, explaining our situation and the broken immigration system. Unfortunately, due to Mr. Kutan's terrible job of moderating, he did not provide much opportunity for Rajeev to speak this week. Thanks to Rajeev for fighting for our cause.
Aman Kapoor: He did a commendable job last week, explaining about IV and its efforts. But due to lack of Mr. Kutans moderating skills, he did not get much time to talk today. Thanks to Aman for organizing and providing an opportunity for IV to discuss about the legal angle of immigration reforms and the difficulties faced by people like us.
Jay Pradhan: Due to technical difficulties, Mr. Kutan could not include him in last week's program, but he did provide him an opportunity this week and explain his case. Jay did an excellent work explaining his situation, current backlogs and also answering some of Mr. Kutan's questions in a very logical manner, like the way only he can do. I wish Mr. Kutan had given more opportunity for Jay to talk and explain the broken immigration system. Excellent job Jay. Hope you get more opportunities like these to discuss about our situation and shed more light to the general public.
Overall, it was some decent publicity for the problems faced by legal immigrant community, though I wonder if it was worth the efforts due to the pathetic job of Mr. Debo Kutan. Hope we can get to participate on more knowledgable/popular talk shows and showcase our problems.

Hi,
My company is asking me to pay the extension fees for 3rd term with same company. I had approved 140. In USCIS receipt it says amount received: $320. Then why I am asked to pay $1820. Is the $1500 towards training is to be paid by employee or employer?

With USCIS what isnt odd! :).
I managed to find the NSC processing time archive from AILA - http://aila.org/content/default.aspx?bc=1016|8767|6739
See the 485 EB based processing timeline.
12/15/2007 - 04/24/2007
01/15/2008 - 07/19/2007
02/15/2008 - 07/30/2007
03/15/2008 - ?
04/15/2008 - 07/11/2007
05/15/2008 - 07/14/2007
06/15/2008 - 07/28/2007
This means that even processing dates go back and forward like priority dates! I dont think the July status is posted yet, but this definitely is interesting.
Hello,
I am sure others might have noticed that 485 processing dates at NSC (for example) have literally crawled from the beginning of the year to now. Here are the processing dates (per USCIS status).
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
12/15/2007 Status - 04/24/2007
01/15/2008 - 07/19/2007
06/15/2008 - 07/28/2008
Thats roughly 9/10 days worth of 485 processing from mid-Jan to mid-Jun 2008. I wonder what the processing date looks like for the mid-July status update (which should probably be out tomorrow).

A bit melodramatic, but i can relate to that. I lost one of my parents to this "US dream". But that is my personal problem.
I know of a colleague who lost her father but could not go to perform the last rites because she did not have the H1 stamped and the earliest appointment that any consulate in India was giving her was 4 months away.

We applied for H1B transfer on Jan/02/09 (California Service Center - Premimum) and attached pay stub and employement offer letter. First time we did not attach any contract details.
We got an RFE on Jan/09/09, Basically they wanted to know whether i am working on project currently. They are asking to submit contract agreements, client details (client letter - not sure it is must or not).
There are 2 layers between client and my employer and could not get client letter. However, I can provide the following docs,
1. Contract Agreement Between Employer and First Layer
2. Contract Agreement Between First and Primary Vendor
3. Letter from Primary Vendor (stating that i am working their client project).
4. Primary Vendor Invoices to Client
5. Time Sheet (Client approval)
6. Access Card
7. Work site Photo
8. Copy of Client WO (end date is 11/21/2008) - client with PO amount and end date is doest not matter... (i am not sure how is uscis will take it).
I could not able to client letter due to their policy. What do you guys think on this case approval. Any reply is highly appriciated..
thanks
I think first 4 should be enough to respond to the RFE.
1. Contract Agreement Between Employer and First Layer
2. Contract Agreement Between First and Primary Vendor
3. Letter from Primary Vendor (stating that i am working their client project).
4. Primary Vendor Invoices to Client
You just need to prove that you worked for that particular client during your H1 period.
Even though asked for it, I did not provide any contract details between Primary Vendor and Client and it was mentioned by my attorney that they do not have such policies.
Not sure whether you have an attorney or not, but make sure you go through them
Hope this helps

Employee is responsible for the accuracy of the time sheet submitted for payroll. If Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company pays you and we did not get the money from the client, he/she are responsible to reimburse Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company all the amount that is under dispute within 5 business days. Employee is responsible for all the legal and administrative costs (attorney, collections etc) for enforcing the above terms. All disputes will be settled according to the laws of the sate of NJ.
Are you serious you want to sign something with that wording. If the employer and client have their own agreements (like delay of payment for 60 days or so), then you will be always struck with your employer until the end of this project.
This is unacceptable.
One of my friends had an agreement like this and they threatened to cancel H1B if he did not sign. Make sure you have your transfer papers ready if they take that extreme step

It might be that you are the first person from this company appearing for interview and they don't have sufficient employer information.
Also when was your company got acquired?

Agreed. In addition, you don't have sword of VISA status hanging on you every morning when yuo wake up.
I can not convince my self about one would not get job forever. Few of my friends struggled for jobs for about six to ten months but then they actually got good jobs and that is even in industrail engineering area with indian experience.
Yes, thats what I am saying, too. Some of our friends perhaps had to look for a job longer, but some are even with the same comp for years and years, just reg 9-5 IT job, one guy is Sys admin, the other is programmer. I know it sounds unbelievable but no one complains about workload, having to sacrifice qaulity time with their familes, paying too much in taxes or car insuarance or similar. Moreover, they can afford to have vacation twice a year and they all have families, purchuased real estate and the likes.
In fact, in my home-country, coming to the US on H1 visa and then getting EB green card is literary unheard off. Very very few souls came via that route and not all succedded in getting their GC
The way things are right now is that my husband is married to his job, BECAUSE of VISA status sword, working overtime, sometime 24/7, not having time for his family and rather unsatsfied with the quality of life.
But then, that is nothing new, right? Everyone here is in the same boat.

I think the contributions are only from those who visit this forum regularly on a day to day basis. I think there are just many people who might have just registered to get some updates but don't necessarily visit this or any other forum regularly.
A lot of people I know get their updates from the web site of one of the law firms, but don't necessarily participate in this or any other forum. Otherwise, they just carry on with their lives hoping some law will pass some day.
Some of those to whom I have talked about contributing to IV have politely said they will take a look at it. Otherwise, I feel they have just been institutionalized in their current setup and lives. I don't think the message has really reached them that there is a need to participate and contribute in a organization like IV and try and make a difference.

What jurisdiction mumbo jumbo are they giving your pp is still valid in all states in the US for H1-B.
The seattle, WA office or any other local office doesnt accept form I907 (which is for PP). After my case transfered to seattle, WA my employer tried to convert into PP. He sent it to USCIS, CA they said it is not with them so they can not accept it. Then he sent it to Seattle, WA with all the letters attached. The seattle office rejected the 907 saying they dont accept 907 in their office.

Notwithstanding the good research below...
Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets an annual minimum family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000. The worldwide level for annual employment-based preference immigrants is 140,000. Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. The dependent area limit is set at 2%, or 7,320.
Given this is legislation, I don't think rule changes can trump it. I don't believe per country limits will change. Besides, how is that a solution to anything? This is not an Indian or Chinese issue. It's a legal immigrant issue.
See pg CRS-5 of document http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/84914.pdf
Two important exceptions to the per-country ceilings have been enacted in the
past decade. Foremost is an exception for certain family-sponsored immigrants.
More specifically, the INA states that 75% of the visas allocated to spouses and
children of LPRs (2ndA family preference) are not subject to the per-country ceiling.18
Prior to FY2001, employment-based preference immigrants were also held to percountry
ceilings. The American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act
of 2000 (P.L. 106-313) enabled the per-country ceilings for employment-based
immigrants to be surpassed for individual countries that are oversubscribed as long
as visas are available within the worldwide limit for employment-based preferences.
The impact of these revisions to the per-country ceilings is discussed later in this
report......................
