EB3 I is going to have a long wait. I had applied for Canadian green card and had received it. At present i have EAD and AP. Is it worthwhile to go into consular processing and work in canada or apply for a blue card or think about Australia. If this sounds okay how should i proceed.

How do you get Blue Card. I thought its still under review and not official yet.

Thank you for posting your story. I hope every one who is disappointed yesterday read this story.

If we can acchive it next year -- It is not late. I believe we were very close this time.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU OF YOUR GREEN CARD . HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

here is my crappy ipod, lol, this is my first battle.

If they dont count Dependents we all get GCs very soon . Unfortunately all dependents even kids are counted under employement category ..

One change - Counting a number for primary applicant can change thousands of lifes each year .


This is really sad that they count all dependents under employement category. USCIS should treat all categories in same way. Can't we raise this issue?

they are voting on amendment to 6020 , I hope they start discussing our bill next

but please do let us know once you talk to a lawyer and get it evaluated.

thanks

Looks like this Sheila is in her new avatar, from 3 year degree people trying to make $$$ in others troubles! She threatened to sue IVians for exposing her tricks when she tried to advt her service in her posts, as friendly posts.

USCIS does not buy her evaluation anymore. Go to her and lose your valuable time and few thousand dollars in addition to your I-140.

Please read and vote cautiously as another illegal immigration related clause is at number 5



Whoa, the question is up at number 3 now!

Thanks syzygy but I think I can discern that much.

Why do you bother so much...?

need more proof ? :D

Clinton and Obama voted for it.

I'm sure there are some intelligent and caring lawmakers somewhere who listen to legal immigrants' plight. They don't seem to be in enough or meaningful numbers. Most are interested in either keeping their seats or serving a subsection of their community.

Again, I believe they are moved mostly by lobbyists and other power groups. I don't yet fully understand how much power IV can wield, but IV could be one such group.

Lawmakers care about high-skilled immigrants only because people like B. Gates, Compete America and such keep lobbying any and all the time.

BTW, I'm not at all short-sighted about this. I'm just more realistic about how things happen in Washington. Need proof: For example, look at the staffers on McCain's campaign. Most are lobbyists. Understanding how democracy works in America and commenting about it is what the real big picture is.

Calling does help in many ways. People have to think positive rather than berating an effort.

Based on the original post, I infer that lawmakers won't care if they receive calls from LEGAL Aliens. If that is the logic then why do you think that lawmakers will work on "immigration" bills. After all the "immigration" bills only benefit folks who don't vote immediately. But one of lawmakers duty is to build the next generation America, and "immigration" bills benefit next generation America. People got to understand this fundamental difference and stop being pessimistic about IV efforts.

Directly talking to lawmakers office (through phone or in person) is far more effective than Web faxes and digital signatures.

I just cannot understand how high-skilled folks can be so short sighted, Look at the big picture.

Why don't our respectful CA gentlewoman gives up on this small issue??

I am not discouraging pople but aasking them to stand up. Only trying to gauge the leveel att which companies are affected.

I don't think DOL is very efficient in updating their list. Here is what I found through a google search http://www.usdoj.gov/eoir/vll/intdec/vol24/3580.pdf
http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/txs/releases/February%202007/070214-Huang.htm
http://bibdaily.com/pdfs/Pegasus%203-31-08.pdf

I think out of these three only one is mentioned in the list.

Edit: Another one not in the list http://www.oalj.dol.gov/PUBLIC/INA/DECISIONS/ALJ_DECISIONS/LCA/03LCA14A.HTM

How can an Annual report prove "Employment of beneficiary" and he/she is been or currently is paid the proffered wage??

All of the following can be used to support Annual Report.

FUTA and Annual Reconcilation statement (Form 940, DE7)
Quarterly wage report and Tax return for the past 4 quarters (Form 941, DE6)
Payroll summary report
Paystubs for the entire year

I also used points provided by altergo to send my story. Let us see if all of this will make some help in getting some real help.

Thanks to altergo for initiating this.

Yes, I have the same question. Everything is a good practice recommendation. That is confusing.
And I thought it was one year. Is it 6 months?:confused:



Hi,

I heard it is six months. But someone should clarify whether its 6 or 1 yr. And also it is really necessary to work for 6 months/1 Yr or not??

There is vast difference between US and Indian housing market crash. India RE market will not collapse like here. There may be a melt down or small correction. The simple big reason is demand for housing in middle class due to economic growth. Based on population density, US is 9 times bigger than India. Lot of land in US. But housing land is so limited in India. So there is always demand. Second reason, there is no sub-prime lending in India. Third, in India, housing loan is based on cash worthiness rather than credit worthyness like in US. So we may not see such a massive foreclosure/bankrupcy in India to bring the price down considerably like in US.

However, now the prices or extremly high, such that it can not be affordabe to people other than NRI or IT folks. 1 crore houses are very common now. Based on US economy it will definitly come down. It will be depend on how hard IT/outsourcing bussiness gets affectd in future.

What you think and suggest is your problem. I know what all i had go through to be where I am today. I did a receive a call on either occasion from the Presidents office. As a matter of fact when I wrote to the FL and the Senators office then too I received calls.

Keep you subject very precise and on the top of envelop remember to mention "Immigration Assistance". Please use ordinary mail 41 cents stamp and wait and watch.

All the best !!!!

Forgot to mention on all the instance I had sent hand written personal letters just stating traumatic situation which I am going through. Also remember this is a request which we are asking for and there is no moral obligation on their part to expedite.

Cheers !!!

Hi Indyanguy,

This is an excellent question and I was also looking for an answer. I am into my 6th year of H1-B(exactly 5 years 1 month) and also have an approved EAD & AP.
I have a great JOB offer but hesitating to invoke AC21(moving using H1-B/EAD) because these days there are many 485 DENIALS( the moment I1-40 is REVOKED). And NOTHING is guaranteed even if we send the AC21 documents to USCIS. And the EAD automatically gets invalid anyways when the 485 is denied.
Doing some research to find out if H1-B extension beyond 6th year is valid if 485 - gets DENIED? (Example: If I get a 3 year H1-B extension based on my current I-140 approval)?

Also not sure if it applies in my case as I still have 10-11 months of H1-B remaining and if I decide to take up this oppurtunity in the next couple of months and 485 gets DENIED after that. May be I will have enough time to file MTR? I should be fine. But what if 485 gets DENIED after I complete 6 years?

Please provide genuine answers.
These answers will BENEFIT many people.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Srini

In your situation, it is better to use EAD to save remaining time in 6 year period of H1. It is wise to use EAD, if you are in initial 6 year period of H1. In case if 485 is denied, you can go back to H1 and enjoy remaining period in 6 years. H1 extension, beyond 6 years is always based on pending immigration applications like LC, 140 and 485. If 485 (final step in GC) is denied, the H1 extension is also invalid. Fortunatly, USCIS do not have highly integrated system to revoke all underlying benefits (H1 Extn or EAD) based on pending immigration application was denied. After denying 485, unless USCIS specifically revoke H1B extension they granted after 6 years or EAD, you may be eligible to legally work with that document till its expiry. However, if they bring more integration to their system, they may deny all subsidary benefits due to denial of 140/485.

I will send my story too
