Your calculations are way too optimistic.
If a regular IV member is spending 1000$ on credit card why cannot he/she not contribute 50/100 $ per month to IV. I don�t know about you or others but I use the credit card is gives best deal for the month for that month.
As far as contributing money to IV, again it�s not about monitory constraints but about making our self give some money for our own cause.
Well, If you sign up for IV credit card, the contributor is not paying from his pocket. It's the bank, who is paying for him, and contributor will keep earning miles/reward point as with any other credit card so it should make ZERO difference for card holder.
Its like finding a advertising sponsor for any of the IV event,except this is one time effort.
the earning could be huge. lets do simple math.
Average CC monthly bill = $1000 , 2% of $1000= $20.
20 * 20k = 40K monthly contribution.
Now think how hard is it to raise 40K monthly using our regular fund raising ?
Basic problem with fund raising is, once person gets his EAD/GC , he stops visiting IV website, I am sure he/she still supports the cause by heart but it just happens that he does not visit this site and does not notice our fund raising drive ( and as a result, we call them selfish :p) .
But if he is carrying IV credit card , its very easy for him to pick up that CC and swipe every time he makes purchase and support the cause.
Hope you get an idea :).

I guess it depends... I would prefer to slog with weather in Canada for 3 years and get citizenship instead of stuggling for 4-5 years with desi consultanting company to get GC. My sixth year is about to start in december 2009 and employer has told that they will not sponsor GC. I am planning to take citizen ship from Canada and then move back to India. That way, anytime I want to come back to US/Canada doors will be open. I guess, there is no right or wrong answer, its a matter of choice.

Couple of more questions regarding the dependant AP renewal:
1) Is it necessary to send the previous AP copy. The instructions of I-131 do not mention anything of sending previous copies. Dependent's AP is expired.
>>>Yes, if she has one, it'll help speed the process
2) And as my spouse is maintaining her own H1 and has renewed it last year, do we need to send a copy of recent I-797 also along with the supporting docs. I have written "H1/Pending AOS" in 'Class of Admission' question. So I am assuming I need to send a copy recent H1 also since in the instructions they ask for any current USCIS doc showing status.
>>>There cant be two class of admission, either she has used H1B or AP to get in to the country previously but not both.
Thanks in advance

Hey guys,
I am planning to take Infopass to see what more information i can collect.
Also does anybody know if USCIS send courtesy copy of Denial Notice to you as well.
My concern is that my attorney sent G-28 and AC21 both but he feel that since I-485 got denied means they have never updated G-28 or AC21 so it might go to my old attorney.
Does anyone know if i will get courtesy copy of denial notice?
Thanks
Buddy, if I were you, the first thing I would do is get a good and experienced lawyer on my side and have the lawyer look into these issues. You need a lawyer who has experience in handling such issues.
If you are not using your old lawyer anymore, you should immediately have your current/new lawyer file new G-28 so that you won't have to keep asking your old lawyer for anything. I did change my lawyer once and my second lawyer was able to get everything from my first lawyer.
MTR is no joke and it's worth spending some money on a good lawyer when it comes down to a denial of your AOS application. Good luck to you.

Tech firms, upset about the provisions in the bill related to visas for skilled foreign workers, known as H-1Bs, are not yet saying whether they would oppose it.
Instead, they are banking on an amendment to be offered by Sens. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., John Cornyn, R-Texas, Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. that would exempt from the H-1B annual cap foreign workers with advanced degrees from U.S. universities or with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.
http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0507/053107cdpm2.htm
if competeamerica, tech industry etc are waiting for this amendment so a good guess is that it would get introduced to be voted upon

sorry but this is ridiculous. If the US has a skill shortage and wants foreign workers, it should ensure that the foreign worker and his/her family are given the same rights that a domestic workers family enjoys.
If they can't give that right, why do they want to invite the foreign worker at all?
Its true that they are not forcing this on us and we are free to go back anytime. But still isn't the inequality pretty clear here? and this country is supposed to be all about equality...
I agree with you. This policy basically amounts to treating "skilled labor" as some inanimate robots with no emotions or needs whatsoever. If H4 folks are free-loaders, then so are the dependents of EB green card holders .. after all the dependents didnt go through labor cert, did they ? As for the equality hogwash, I have long stopped believing that .. it exists only technically; but reality is what is staring us right now .. retrogression for coming countries with large number of skilled people, backlog "elimination" centers and infinite waits to be given any meaningful rights. Why ? simply because we were idiotic enough to believe all this "meritocracy" and "equality" propaganda.

Hi all,
Sorry to be asking again, but I needed some details on changing employers before Oct 1st.
Here's the situation. I am currently on H4 and got my H1B approved this year through a consultancy with start date of Oct 1st 2007 (lucky to get through lottery).
I only have a copy of the H1B approval notice.
A few days back I got an offer for a full time position with another company (NOT a consultancy). And they are willing to do my H1B.
I learned through this forum, that applying for a change of employer before Oct 1st with an approved H1B, is like getting a new H1B only i'm already counted against the cap for the fiscal year. And because it's considered "new" paystubs are not required. Hope I've got this much right.
My questions are:
1. Are all the documents required the same as when you apply for a new H1B ? Only you also have to add the approved H1B notice?
2. Is it ok if a COPY of the H1B approval notice is sent? Consultancy had a verbal agreement with me that I should work for a year with them , but I don't think anything is on paper. Also they said they would only give me my H1B approval notice (original) once I was placed on a project with them.
3. Does the job title have to be the same? Consultancy applied as Programmer Analyst, and the new company needs a Web Programmer/Server Administrator. Would that cause any issues?
4. The new company plans to do premium processing, so if all goes well, can I start working with them as soon as the receipt notice comes in, or do I have to wait till I have the approval notice in hand?
5. Can the consultancy cause any problems for me with respect to my H1B? Is there any way they can find out about this and revoke my H1B?
If anyone has been through this and got their H1B approved with a different employer before the H1B start date, then please post your replies here. What were the hurdles , and what should I be wary of to ensure everything goes smoothly?

Ok,
so the the US lists, the catagories as Mexico, India, china, and the philpines.
that is 4 counties..... with what ever percentage of the total visas..
But ROW the rest of the world.....how many countries is that???? i am guessing lots... i personally am only conserned with the UK as that is where i am at the moment. so how do i go about finding the number of visa's that the UK is aloted per year? in EB catagories.
because i dont see how if say Germay, or Italy used up all there visas for the year, but the rest of the world hadent, or even half and half....how can the entire of the rest of the world be retrogressed.??? is there not a list of how indervidual countries are retrogressed....? if this is stupid please say though, but i think it is quite a valid question.

I thought about that as well.
In my home country, you are *supposed* to list your age on your resume. I am not kidding. They don't consider your resume if you don't put your age there. If I go back there in few years from now (I am 34 now), I am not sure I would be successful there anymore.
Folks, we are in a very difficult situation. Our careers are in grave danger. I was planning to wait for GC to let potential employers pay my masters degree, but no way. I already submitted the paperwork to resume the sucker MBA this Fall and pay the whole thing from my pockets. Either that or I should trigger AC21 very soon.
If the October visa bulletin shows EB3 World stagnated or retrogressed, you can bet a Starbucks coffee I will be looking for another job/AC21 very fast.
Some people advise to wait and watch and some people ask to do something else. I would like to say one thing and it is purely my perspective. People who are waiting inline for 8-10years does not know when they will be getting their GC in hand. May be in next four to five years. By that time on average their age will be around 35-45.
Do you want to wait 4-5 years and do the job which you were doing 10years back?
Did you had any vision for your career when you started your GC and life?
Do you have the same vision now for your career and life?
Did you feel you and your family have sacrified enough in your personel life for this stupid GC?
IF YOU SAY I HAVE DECIDED TO GO BACK TO MY HOME COUNTRY:
Do you think you will get a managerial job if you go back to india at the age of 40 when you could see guys @30 doing that job with ease and with better experience?
Do you think becos of 10+years of expereince in programming field, indian companies will recruit you for managerial job?
Are you willing to work in India as a programmer with 10+ years of US exp under a 25-30 year old team lead or PM ?
If you say YES , YES , YES for all the above, do you think any indian company will recruit a programmer at the age of 40? forget about the salary you are going to ask for your exp which they will never accept.
So at the end if you wait long enough for GC, then it is better to wait here until you get it. At least you can save your life though you have to start your career from -10years. If you quit and decide to go back to your homecountry, your life is going to be tough.
Options for guys waiting for 8-10years for LC:
1. Try to get PMI Certification, CISA certificaiton.
2. Try to get TOEFL, GMAT scores and keep it ready.
3. Try to get in contacts with most of your friends and manpower agencies in India.
4. If you file for your 485 in next one or one and half years, then proeceed with MBA plans(parttime or full time or executive MBA) in top 25-30 business school.
5. Your waiting will yeild fruit in this country only with MBA as in next 10 years, US will need more managers than programmers to manager all their outsourced projects.
6. If you do not have such vision and you are happy with what you are doing now and if your job is secured for next 100years and if you feel that you will be happy in future by doing the same job and OK with other kids going up the ladder stepping on you and if you are ok reporting to them and listening to them, getting bashed by them etc etc, you can very well wait for next 100 years hoping to get GC one day.
I am not talking about one guy in one corner living beautiful life.
I am not talking about guys who are lucky on everthing to get on time including GC.
I am talking about majority of the people and general human nature, people who came to US with a vision for their career and life. People who have had and has a spark in their eyes.

Do not depend the processing of your papers entirely to the lawyer or their paralegal. Be proactive. Always demand a copy of the application prior to the actual filing. You will be shocked to see so many errors. It's also good to check IV news once in a while. If it wasn't for IV updates, our company would not have been able to correct our lawyer's mistake in filing for my H1 extension. He insisted that USCIS never grant a 3-year extension even if I-140 approved. I showed him IV success stories and he apologize for his error.
Remember, lawyers look at their clients as $$$. The more services they can create, the more $$$ they can get.

Employer B applied for H1B transfer and it was approved in september,2008.But I am still in the payroll of employer A and have not joined B yet(no paystubs etc). Employer A knows this and has not revoked my H1B (visa valid till december 2009 and have got it stamped already). I would like to travel to India in this situation (emergency).
I still intend to work for A after my travel.
1. Will it be a problem at the port of entry with my visa transferred to B,but me still being the payroll of A and intend to continue with A after my travel? (my H1B visa with A is valid till december,2009)
2. What supporting documents do I have to carry with me other than a recent employment confirmation letter,paystubs from employer A?
Currently, I am into the 2nd year of the first 3 years of H1B.I checked with my attorney and she said its ok to come back with the employer A visa.
Please let me know.
Thanks!
