People feel as if they have achieved something big after getting an EAD. EAD is not a visa and EAD status is not a valid status. You in fact lose your h1b valid status once you invoke AC21.
I have personally seen people change their attitudes as if they have achieved a gold medal in Olympics and talk big about "'Fingerp[rinting", about AC21, as if they have written the AC21 law. Does anyone know how AC21 came into picture on the first hand? There was an advocacy group called "Immigrant Social Network" that was behind the AC21. Prior to that, EB rules were extremely stringent with no portability.
Everyone browses this website, gains knowledge and behaves as if he/she is an immigration expert and has achieved something big.
We have been cajoling people. To what extent?
Words cannot describe the amount of effort "needhelp" has been putting in. She still continues to be the same and claims that her morale will never go down and her commitment levels have increased. All the cowards, and so called smart asses - try to learn some good lessons from people like her.
Life is not all about shopping at Macys, talking about fingerprinting, and watching TV, and spending hours on phones talking about how dealstobuy is different from buy.com or not about how CVS pharma sells the same item for less rate than rite aid. Life is not all about "sitting here doing nothing and talking about how different countries are rising and why one MUST not care for his own good"
IV is a volunteer organization and every member is equally responsible member. If you try to elude, and act smart - it only reflects your dirty character.
If you are here, do something. Yes, atleast something that you feel you can do. Please do not cheat those who are working extremely hard for your cause.

being EB3I myself, it makes me happy to hear a fellow EB3I getting GC. having said that...
the only and correct question about this whole thing is,
Can & will CIS legally take back the GC (even if its their mistake), in future, when they find out?
The answer sadly is,
Yes, they can, they will, as they already did in a few instances, as reported in these forums.
Not contacting CIS to correct the mistake, with a hope of 'they won't notice' and a logic of 'well, it's their mistake and i have to plead ignorance' is like the idiom, hiding your head in the sand, the Ostrich Effect.

No immigrant Visa is available until the thing is current. From my understanding, Adavnce Parole is not a visa. Quoting from the net.
"Advance Parole is permission for certain foreign nationals, who do not have a valid immigrant visa, to reenter the U.S. after traveling abroad"

So, this is again a republican initiative? I wouldn't be surprised if IV is behind this too.
Judging by his NumbersUSA records, Rep Shadegg is pretty much against illegal immigration, while supportive of H1-b bills.
There's always hopes.:)

Ok sir.. I lose you won.. keep porting.
�The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.�

Here is my take on usabal, the firm is well known in the Bay Area, so if you are in that area, you are ok.
For TX, they acquired the firm Jenkens and Gilchrist last year. Jenkens attorneys are very conservative, and if you happen to work for a big employer who has hired Berry, Appleman... you are screwed.
They may still work out ok for you on an individual basis, I would stay away from their TX office for sure.
Berry, Appleman & Leiden LLP is very good firm. I have very good experience with them. They completed all my paper work on Jun 30, so that they can file by July 2. Also the attorney and the para-legal were really good and replied to my questions patiently. The website is http://www.usabal.com/

There were approvals on July 1st and July 2nd for PD which were current according to the earlier released visa bulletin.
This does mean the earlier bulletin was valid for few hours and the applications received during that period should be valid!!

Hello,
I am a Canadian and have a PD of 3-05 LC apporved 10-06, filed i140 in 5-07 and am putting together the documents to send in 485 application this month.
I am on the 7th year of H1-b but have extension valid until 2009
In a few months I won't have a job. I am trying to apply for 485 before it ends.
Is it possible to find a job that is different than my current job description?
When I look for a job, what to I tell potential employer? do they need to sponsor the H1-b or Green Card? do they need a lawyer to manage my stuff?
What do I do after job ends? Does my family and I have to immediately leave? I heard that I can get a few months by applying for a different status (to take care of affairs) but that only get me a few months.
We were so happy last week , as our PD came up and we can go through the final stage to get GC... is all lost right now?
Would really appreciate some guidance.

did any one receive a rebate check like this?
Gurus,
I applied for tax return with my cousin as dependent. I am H1B on a project working for MNC, spouse in H4 and my cousin is doing his MS on F1. Since my wife has only ITIN, my understanding is that there is NO stimulus payment for me and my cousin will loose his $300 as he is claimed as dependent. last week, my cousin got a letter from dept of treasury that his stimulus payment is on the way and sure enough, couple of days later, a check for $300 is waiting for him.
Is this normal that a person with a SSN who filed his return as dependent get stimulus benefit? just checking if anyone else got one like this.. does this mean I can expect $300 for myself being on H1B with SSN also?
thanks for any suggestions..

That is true!
As for fee increases big companies do not really get hurt, if they need someone and it costs 5K, in their grand scheme of things its not a big number.
Also I am not sure why people assume Big tech Companies want only H1Bs, thats not true, I have had interactions with various levels where they hate having to go through all these attorneys every H1B renewal and ambiguity about their employees traveling. Ideally they would like to get their employees a GC right after they go through PERM. My group had to withdraw 2 offers for Master's students because they won't be able to get H1b till Oct'2008, and we were not looking for just H1B/F-1 employees, but any fresh Grads.
As for GC numbers, H1B cap of 65K was somewhat of a sweet spot for 140K available. Considering not 100% of H1B's apply, but there are other non H1B EB GC applications. So if we club all these and still keep the number to approx 65K and add dependent factor, this 65K*2.X translates close to 140K. Now increase these to 115K and keep the numbers at 140K and no spill overs from ROW for the Point System. Viola!! We have log jam worse than LA freeways, only now some of the cars will never get to their destination.
With lot of consulting people applying for EAD's and getting GCs, they will not be willing to part their hard earned $s. Not implementing H1 restrictions will give a chance to get fresh meat for these blood sucking so called consulting companies, only this time it could be bonded slaves with GCs not in sight.
Ideally we would like to have all these consultant needing companies start hiring permanent employees and put most of the ill intentioned body shoppers out of business. But with this bill these BS(Body shop) Co will find some loop hole(and trust me, Find it they will) and get lifetime slaves through H1B and suck half their earnings rest of the poor souls life. We are scared of the wrong thing, H1B restrictions, instead of worrying about how trapped and helpless thousands of people will be in clutches of these companies. I would rather these people enjoy the freedom and prosperity of India and China, than living uncertain life here and feeding the Leaches of the system.
And everyone is wondering why they are not fighting these H1 restrictions. They wont, this bill is great for them. Its not their 5K for H1, and it comes with hand-cuffs and shackles.
There, I poured my passions out about this issue. Phew :rolleyes:
You will be surprised that even with the restrictions H1b cap will be reached but not in one day or one month but within an year as demand will be there. These restrictions will impact only Indian bodyshoppers who are running just by H1b. Though H1b will be costly if CIR in the same form is passed but Most of good companies will overcome. So if you want to relative number of gc then you need to increase Gc by atleast 50 to 100% from current level.

Hi Totoro,
please be so kind and explain me what exactly shall I say to the SSN Office about why I apply for SSN non-work. If they ask me to proof that I need a SSN to get Economic Stimulus Payment, what shell I do??
How is posible to get a SSN non-work to get Economic Stimulus Payment if you didn't work. How can you make tax return without to work. ?? Sorry for all this question but I really don't understand. But i'm shure that you will be very nice and you will explain me how it's work.
Thank you,
lelica

Main reasons for restrictions in legal immigration are
1. Organised compaign by anti immigrants with data. They proved that H1b persons were paid 20% below the market rate. There is no defence from orgainised compaign by pro immigrants. Pro immigrants gave the statement that shortage of skilled workers but they were not able to give supporting data. Newspaper stories are not enough
2. Reaching h1b cap in 2 days gave negative picture instead of positive. Mostly consulting companies rushed to get h1b without valid job positions
3. Instead of asking reasonable numbers Corporations and pro immigrants asked exemptions in H1b numbers and green card numbers. They want to make sure that unlimited numbers so that they can hire or fire anyone.
4. Immigrants are suffering by backlogs and they are expressed by IV and Lawyers. But that is not enough to justify immigration. That should be justified with real need for welfare of country
5. Before dot com bust even lot of US citizens welcomed H1b persons as there was not much layoffs. But past 7 years layoffs increased to outsource to India,China and other countries. For that they have to hire H1b and L1 persons from Countries mainly India. Those things made anti immigrants hardened their stand. US workers fear that they may lose job if US opens up immigration too much.
6. Some Indian consulting companies exploited the situation by just hiring H1bs not even trying to recruit US workers even if they available. But some Indian companies like TCS,Infosys started hiring US workers nowadays because of shortage of H1b.
H1b persons are considered as best skilled persons so Companies can afford to pay 5000 or even 10000$. Infact H1b persons should be paid 20% above US workers as they are considered as better than US workers. That is the reason for raising the fees by two thirds of Senators
Microsoft was doing effective compaign. Infact they asked resumes from programmers Guild. If many people do realistic campaign instead of opposing anti immigrants that will be easy to reform immigration
I am sure that the tech lobbyist are going to change the rules applied to the H1-B process, because everyone knows the effect of this to the econoomy. I am totally convinced that the strict H1-B rules will be removed.
I am trying to figure out or want to see how or will these tech companies force or lobby to get EB relief.
How important is EB relief for them?
1) they can't hire brains from US universities.
2) they can't hire those who they think would benefit the company but are stuck with their GC process with some other small consulting firm.
I see STEM with advance degree getting relief, the current backlog will not be benefitted a lot (eg. Real hike in EB visas, Removing the country cap). I am not being a pessimist but, I do not see a light in my path. (May be my comments are wrong)
**** Important Note****
After the State Union Speech given by the President to change the Immigration system, we saw a huge applause by all the law makers. So many individual bills in favor of Skill were introduced. Mr Gates, in front of Senate gave a detailed explaination of our problems, we saw few bills after H1-B quota ran out on the second day of the filing date added to the senate judiciary committee.
Our hopes increased after seeing so many favourable documents and media coverage, but what happened in the end.. Illegals were given a very very very easy path to citizenship after breaking the law.They get a relief which we can never imagine will ever happen to us.
Let us say we get the oppurtunity to file I-485 without PD. Increase in H1-B, Increase in EB visas. But still we have to stick to an employer, can't move up the ladder because of the same Labor description needed to be mainain I-485 if we take AC21.
I cannot digest and will never be able to digest that we are not given the oppurtunity to file our I-485 individually and work for any employer.

I see STEM with advance degree getting relief, the current backlog will not be benefitted a lot (eg. Real hike in EB visas, Removing the country cap). I am not being a pessimist but, I do not see a light in my path. (May be my comments are wrong)
**** Important Note****
After the State Union Speech given by the President to change the Immigration system, we saw a huge applause by all the law makers. So many individual bills in favor of Skill were introduced. Mr Gates, in front of Senate gave a detailed explaination of our problems, we saw few bills after H1-B quota ran out on the second day of the filing date added to the senate judiciary committee.
Our hopes increased after seeing so many favourable documents and media coverage, but what happened in the end.. Illegals were given a very very very easy path to citizenship after breaking the law.They get a relief which we can never imagine will ever happen to us.
Let us say we get the oppurtunity to file I-485 without PD. Increase in H1-B, Increase in EB visas. But still we have to stick to an employer, can't move up the ladder because of the same Labor description needed to be mainain I-485 if we take AC21.
I cannot digest and will never be able to digest that we are not given the oppurtunity to file our I-485 individually and work for any employer.

I have been thinking about whether to attend the rally or not from past few weeks.
Attending the rally would require me to take a day off. Finally today without thinking twice I just went to my manager asked if I can take day off on 9/18 instead compensate the work in the following saturday. It was approved and I am attending the rally on 9/18!
I am feeling so good now.
No one who, like me,
conjures up the
most evil of those
half-tamed demons that
inhabit the human beast, and
seeks to wrestle with them,
can expect to
come through the struggle
unscathed

You definitely raise an interesting case. What I would say to that is that they just have to reevaluate the points allocation system. the details of the point allocation system may be bad but the overall intent still stands to benefit the highly educated while including the EB system as well will make sure less skilled but in demand people are also taken care off. handling family based GC is a whole diff ball game though.
Overall intent of the bill was to legalize/give amnesty to 12 million people at any cost for dems. The intent of republicans was to gut the whole immigration system whether legal or illegal.
You say that they just have to reevaluate point system. How many amendments were filed to do that . If the intention of "masters of the universe" was to reform the system they would have approached the whole thing much carefully. The total bill was written by special interest groups on both sides of the political aisle.
I agree that a strong economy like america needs both skilled and unskilled people. Shouldn't it be left to the employer to find out who is the best person that can do the job.
The bill as it was written before the cloture vote was a piece of CXXX.
Once the bill is passed I dont think anyone wants to talk about immigration for another 20 years , I dont think I want to wait for another 20 years for law makers to make changes to the point system.
I am happy that this ill conceived bill is on life support system now. Hope they are not able to revive it ...
Foreign nurses wont help revive this baby because they dont get any points in the new BS system called MBS ....:D :D :D :D :D

H1B visa is meant to be for people with skills that are in shortage in the US. If any H4 feels that he/she should be able to work, he/she should get a H1B. I agree that it may be difficult for some H4s to find a sponsorer for H1B, because their skills are not in shortage in the US.
Some spouses may join their H1B counterparts in the US, with an expectation that they will eventually get the GC and will be able to work, no matter what their skill set is. This is a reasonable expectation. So, blame the retrogression.
I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work. They just take away jobs of more skilled workers who are unable to get H1Bs and who are still in their home countries trying for one. Skill-less free riders!
Now, please don't bash me with counter arguments!! ;)
