In Jun-July 2008 they will pass the unused Visa for Fiscal 2008 to India/China/Mexico/Philippines.So according to NY Times if 300K filed - then we July 2nd -Aug 17th 2007 filers will get GC within 2-3 yrs ? ( 300K/140K yearly)
I might be missing something - the real picture is not so good.
out of 300K applications ,may be 150K apps are from indians , then it'll take 150K/10K = 15 years for the one who applied in July/Aug 07.

Hi,
I just asked my attorney if she had a direct contact with Mr. Opperheim, the person responsible for VB. If she does respond, I will provide the address / email here. I am writing to them. It does not make any sense. My opinion is that they are giving USCIS a December brake now. If the 485 report released by USCIS is true and reliable, the RoW dates for Dec should have been moved to mid or end of 2003 now.

When you get insurance from employer, you pay with pretax money. With online policy you will have to pay with taxed money. Unless it is atleast 30% cheaper than one offerd by employer, I will not go with it. You may be able to get tax deduction later, but it has limits

Hello,
Here is my situation.
a) My I-485 is pending since Aug 2007. I am the beneficiary and my spouse is the primary.
b) The I-94 on my passport states its validity upto Aug 22, 2010. This was stamped using my earlier H1B which was valid upto Aug 2010.
c) I quit my H1B job on Nov 2008 and took another job using EAD. I think this may have invalidated my underlying H1B
d) I didn�t apply for any extension of stay or change of status (COS) back in Oct 2008, becuase my I-485 was pending.
e) I have not travelled outside of the country since my last arrival.. (pls see #b)
Recently I came across a memo from USCIS wherein it tries to differentiate betweeen UNLAWFUL STATUS and ACCRUAL of UNLAWFUL PRESENCE. The memo is "Consolidation of Guidance concerning unlawful presence for purposes of sections 212(a)(9)(B)(i) and 212(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) of the act".. and the example on page 9 states this.
"An alien is admitted as a non immigrant, with a form I-94 that expires on Jan 1, 2009. On Oct 5, 2008, he properly files for an application for adjustment of status. He does not, however, file any application to extend his non immigration stay, which expires on Jan 1, 2009. The AOS application is still pending on Jan 2, 2009. On Jan 2, 2009, he becomes subject to removal as a deportable alien under section 237(a)(1)(c) of the act because he has remained after the expiration of his nonimmigrant admission. For purposes of future admissibility, however, the pending adjustment application protects him from the accrual of unlawful PRESENCE
This example got me worried a lot. I am sure most of us always thought that since we have a EAD, we can leave H1 and get another job on EAD while I-485 is pending. I for sure wasn't aware that we are expected to file something to get an extension of stay or change of status.
Now, my questions to our experts are
1. Since I am within my I-94 expiry date., am I in lawful status?
2. Since my H1B (which was used for my I-94) may have been revoked, does it mean that I-94 which I have on my passport is invalidated?
3. I know I am not accruing unlawful presence because of AOS Pending.. but what about status?
4. What should I do now to correct ...? my I-94 expires in another month.
Please help!

This should provide some food for thought for any standalone bill for skilled, legal immigrant reform, if it comes to that.
With the contrbutions high skilled (EB) immigrants make to the country's innovation and competitveness, the much needed science and math skills they bring, and the high taxes they pay, it is clear such immigrants are a net gain to the economy.

The Numbers Behind the Numbers
As Congress debates legislation that would double the number of visas available for highly-skilled workers, Census officials release numbers highlighting contributions by Asian-born immigrants to the U.S. economy.
Of the 14 million Asians in the U.S., half of those over age 25 have at least a bachelor�s degree and 20% have a master�s degree or higher � the highest education level of any racial group.
Median family income, at $57,500, also is the highest, with half of Asian Indians earning $69,000 or more. Asians owned 1.1 million owned businesses in 2004, up 24% since 1997, the Census Bureau fact sheet said.
High tech executives have been lobbying heavily for an increase in the visa cap for high-skill workers, a majority of whom are Asians. All four versions of the immigration bill now before the Senate would double the number of so-called H1B temporary visas to 115,000 and also double the number of employment-based green cards to 290,000. Exemptions from those limits for students currently working on science and technology degrees in the U.S. � most of whom also are Asian � would increase high-skilled immigration still further if any of the bills becomes law.

Dear Friends,
Please advise me for the following relating to my birth certificate that I have to use for Immigration purposes.
One or two alphabets of my name on birth certificate are different from my passport and secondary school. In addition, my family name is not included in the certificate. Rest of the information is all fine and matching with my passport and secondary school certificates( like DOB, Parents, Place etc)
I have some questions
1. Does the birth certificate issued by Indian consulate in foreign country is deemed acceptable?
2. Do I need to furnish any kind of affidavit along with original birth certificate, if yes, please share the format for those, who is writing these affidavit and any specific stamp paper/value etc?
3. Any guidelines in order to correct the information in my original certificate.
4. Any other vital information in this regard
Thanks you all.

Hey, What you really mean is that one or two LETTERS in your name do not match your name on the passport. An ALPHABET is made up of ALL the letters in a languge. The neglish ALPHABET is made up of LETTERS from A to Z.

Welcome to IV Immiram..
Hi all,
I know the Forums are still pretty active but is the IV Organisation itself still active?
I came across the IV website yesterday and was really stuck by the mission statement of the Organisation. I did not think twice - went ahead and got registered and made one time donation. I even voted for one of the polls for Sep 18 rally and making plans to visit DC but only to realise today that it was really old one :) Also when I was reviewing the forums today I realised that most of the activities seem to be around years 2006-2007 - like Fundraising Campaign or Media News ,etc.
Appreciate anyones response to let me know if IC is still active. Please do not direct any personal attacks. I did not need to explore GC info so far since my GC was started only during March of 2010 & got my Lc approved only yesterday.
If the organisation is still active, I am looking forward to joing the CT chapter. Thanks!

Yes, that is not only possible, but safer than using EAD. If your I-485 is denied for whatever reason, you still have H1-B with which to keep working. Once you use EAD, you lose H1-B status, and if I-485 is denied, you are out of status and must leave the country immediately.

Wrong. The DS-160 is just part of the process. Consulates all over the world cannot issue visa until they can verify through PIMS. I was asked a lot of questions in the interview because my name did not appear in PIMS. At the end, the consulate said, I qualify for the VISA but their hands are tied. Consulates have no control over PIMS and according to the consulate, they send an inquiry to KCC and have to wait for them to update.
My interview was in June so I don't know if things have changed since but please consult your attorney.

Hi,
I am in need of some advice. I am on first h1b extension with 2.5 hears left. I have an MS but was filed under eb3 with priority date of march 2005 (didn't knew about priority categories at that time). Now I am feeling a bit stagnant in my current job, but have always felt myself constrained thinking about restarting the GC process from zero. Given the current eb3 condition and my priority date what would you suggest I should do? Switch job, get a salary raise, restart under eb2 or continue doing whatever I do hoping eb3 will become current in some reasonable time and i'll be free ?
Thanks for any inputs/thoughts.

I have the same problem which zico described at below and I submitted my I-20 for an h1B amendment. It starts before my grace period time ends up.
My question is my amendment is still on pending process since September 17th. Will I be out of status if the school or I cancel my I-20 BEFORE the result of pending process of my H1B amendment?( Am I safe since I already passed October 1st?)
Second question is:Can I do an H1B transfer to another company in such a situation?
Thanks a lot for all help!!
My lawyer received my H1B approval in the mail yesterday. Online status said approved on 15th. But lawyer said that I will have to pick it up from India. Otherwise I'll have to file an amendment. I am guessing it is form I-797B (no I-94)
Anyone else in similar situation with any information?
Case:
* Regular quota (65k) Premium processing @ VSC
* Receipt date: April 9th (via email)
* Approved: April 15th (checked online status)
* Lawyer received mail approval on April 18th (US Postal Mail)
* Planning on taking Kaplan course from June - September which can be extended till Oct

Just got off the phone with customer service rep. I called them to know the status of my service request that was created 45 days ago. After some wait, one lady picked up my call. I asked her to check the status of my service request. She tried for 10 mins to pull up that info but she couldn't pull up because of some technical issues. She escalated my call to another level.
One rep picked up my call.He seems to be nice and answered my questions. He said my case is under review as of 8/21/2008. When I asked him to see whether my name check is cleared or not, he said it is still pending as of now. FBI name check was initiated on Sep 18, 2007 and it should expire on Nov 30, 2008. Before that they should get a response for name check.
We gave our finger prints on Nov 2, 2007. How come name check was initiated on Sep 18, 2007? I am not sure whether i can believe his words?
I have a soft LUD on 8/21/2008. According to CSR words, i can assume that case was assigned to an officer. But i am not sure about the name check process.
Is any one got the similar response?
Please share your thoughts on this
Thanks,

President Obama recently mentioned plans for holding a White House meeting to discuss proceeding with immigration reform legislation. And now he is keeping that promise by setting June 8th, just three weeks from now, to hold the meeting. According to Politico: "The meeting will be an opportunity to launch a policy conversation that we hope will be able to start a debate that will take place in Congress later in the year," the official, who asked not to be named, said. Asked if the session would be billed as a summit or a forum, like similar meetings on health care...

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???
