I have a question in case any experts come back today to visit this thread.
Its reg the point system. We get points for employer sponsorship and number of years of US employment right?
1) If a person has been working here for 4 years on H1b in STEM decided to leave to canada this week. He then comes back lets say in 2008 or 2009 and then wants to apply for GC. Will he get points for the previous 4 years, even though there was a break in service (canadian trip) for 1-2 years?
I need to know this because I am contemplating moving to canada (my current employer has filed for LC, which I will then be nullifying). Ofcourse I intend to renter after 1 year or so.
2) My seccond question-- I am also planning to start a new GC before leaving to canada. Can GC application proceed while you are out of the country? If so until what stage?

please be constructive in your role, we can use your energy and enthusiasm, but an attitude of engagement is critical rather than asking why iv core is not doing this or that.....
Thanks Paskal,
I will....and get some work done like setting up the IV-NE yahoogroups, crafting the initial pitch for nebraska members , and get some members recruited etc and will take it from there.
My only point is, this 1% of active members can politely direct others to state chapters , notwithstanding the frustrating attitude of some of the "Highly skilled"- arm chair critics.

Note: Read my post IV need to set up a fax:This is a WIN/WIN situation for us (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=47943&postcount=38)
Thanks go_guy123. Your reply is twisted and not in context for the task on hand. I only quoted American Academy of Nursing, as rimzhim said (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=47949&postcount=40), such need to set up fax as above, 'will show us in poor light.
Sorry you missed the whole point and is side tracking the need of today: stop the grab of unused visas. Pure and simple.
Well they are also shouting about Nurse shortage just like Corporate America is shouting about shortage of H1Bs.

I've the same question. If I complete an online Masters in info tech from a reputed university, with the SKIL bill, can I jump the queue?
Will a part time MBA / executive MBA from reputed university do any trick for the existing H1b holders? I am not asking this for GC, but it is mere co-incidence with SKIL bill and my intention of doing MBA.
The very first para in August 2006 visa bulletin says...
This bulletin summarizes the availability of immigrant numbers during August. Consular officers are required to report to the Department of State documentarily qualified applicants for numerically limited visas; the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security reports applicants for adjustment of status. Allocations were made, to the extent possible under the numerical limitations, for the demand received by July 10th in the chronological order of the reported priority dates.
MY COMMENTS:
In may it was Apr'08, then it was Apr'15 and now it is again Apr'01. So when the dates are in April 15, more people have applied for 485(than I have imagined) to consume the VISA availability quota. I wonder, if those many people are there from 2001 April and before to consume the quota, then when will the datel move to May'01. Forget about the visa dates moving to July/Aug/..Dec 01.
If the SKIL bill or any other provision is not passed into the law, it is always better to have a secondary plan to save the career at least. It is better to think our family and career assuming what we will be doing if the priority dates does not cross Dec'01 in the next five years.
I personally think to move back to India if I do not see anything by march next year. Already I am in the end of seventh year. If the SKIL bill is not passed, I donot want to do a MBA here by spending 40K(partime ,100K fulltime) and then doing a sr.software er job. With the spagetti law, I cannot change my roles whatever qualifications I add after applying for my GC. I have been postponing the idea of starting my MBA for long time becos I would like to file my 485 before I work on that. Otherwise it is waste of time, energy and money. What a HELL...............

Reallocation of Immigrant Visa Numbers
Immigrant visa quotas would be substantially realigned under S. 1348. Our current law provides for a baseline annual quota of 140,000 immigrant visas for foreign nationals immigrating on the basis of employment. In the past several years, a backlog has developed in several employment-based immigrant categories, with multiyear waits for some prospective immigrant workers. The Senate bill would, in the first five years after enactment, increase the quota for merit-based and employment-based cases, in part to address existing backlogs. An estimated 247,000 numbers would be available for work-related immigration. Beginning in the sixth fiscal year after enactment, however, the quota would drop to 140,000 numbers per year. This level would remain in place for at least two years, until approximately the eighth year after enactment, when the quota would rise to a baseline of 380,000 per year, with additional numbers made available for previously undocumented immigrants who become eligible to apply for permanent residence.
Is the interpretation of current Bill (without amendment) is correct for the work related immigration?

Guys, this is by far one of the best points ever made in this forum. This is actually our silver bullet. Open the eyes of people around the world that the US is not treating skilled immigrants right anymore. There are many countries out there which offer more career opportunities than here. By the way, what am I doing here?!
Pappu, I sent the article to my cousin in China, asking him to publish his story. Please read his reply. He graduated from University of Chicago and went back to China two years after working in US.
"This is another sad story about skilled immigrant.
I want to talk about this issue from my perspective.
I got my M.B.A in a prestigious US university and worked as a Financial Analyst in US for two years. I was thinking of applying for GC at that time because I had planned to stay in US. But, that winter, when I took a vacation in China, I decided to look for a job in China because I was very impressed by the economic development in China and wanted to capitalize on the opportunity. The Chinese market was/is in urgent demand for US-trained financial analyst. After some interviews, I got a very generous offer from a multinational company and quitted my job in US without any hesitation.
Now five years has passed. Because of my excellent performance, I get two promotions in the past five years and am a director in my company. My boss, who is an american, lost his job and has to go back to US because my company cannot see any fiancial advantage to hire him anymore. I have never been happier. I believe that I made a very good choice five years ago. Most of my chinese classmates during MBA study are still struggling for their GCs and get stuck in their career development because of GCs. They are quite regret that they did not come back to China back 5 years.
So what I want say is that, US is not a very good place to stay anymore. There are many golden opportunities in your own country! Many countries are becoming stronger and stronger. It's not 10 or 20 years ago. 10 or 20 years ago, US is the best place in the world to stay. But now, it's different. My friends in US make about $150k a year and cannot afford a luxury lifestyle. I make $100k a year and enjoy a very comfortable life in China. I built my own house in China, which is even better than my house in New Jersey before. I hired my own chauffeur, housekeeper, two nannies for my baby... I cannot afford these thing if I were still in US. How many americans can afford the same lifestyle as mine? I don't think there are many.
My point is, be open to opportunities in your own countries or other countries in the world other than US. You will be happy to leave US several years later when you look back. Besides, if more and more US-trained scientists and professionals come back to their own countries and help their countries to develop, maybe in another 10 or 20 years, no one would want GC anymore."

Apart from Deniel notice I also got LUD on I 140.
Could it be related to old employer revoking I 140?
Since I have transfered after 180 and did Ac 21 - am I covered.
Prince - Did you get any LUD on 140 on the day you got this deniel e mail?
Thanks
Ram
Is your I-140 already approved before you invoked AC21?? Sorry to hear about your denial..keep hope and fight for the justice as much you can..Getting GC became mess now..

For your first query: Write a letter stating why you would need AP.. You can write something like you would want to visit your family (for marriages, medical emergencies, other reasons and as well to be with family members for vacation etc).. anything you think is a reason can go here..
for the second query: You can send the PP photos along with your supporting documents. It should expedite the process as well as first time AP needs PP photo sent..
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!
What do we have to provide for the following question:
Part 7. Complete only if applying for an Advance Parole.
On a separate piece of paper, please explain how you would qualify for an Advance Parole and what circumstances warrant issuance of Advance Parole. Include copies of any documents you wish considered. (See instructions.)
Also, do we need to send Passport Pictures right away with the application or wait for USCIS letter?
Thanks a lot.

Can someone explain me how can i find a H1b is new or transferred?
I got all my H1B photocopies. Does it(new or transferred) show on H1B Document?
Thank you
If its a transfer, your I-94 "number" will be same. Check to see if you have same I-94 number on any or all or atleast 2 of your I-94's including the one which they provided you at POE "across" any of your employers (1, 2 and X).
You can also check the application receipt date on them.. see if they are around April of those years? Most probably they will be new filings if the receipt date is around April oppose to September or November.
Hope this helps.

(1) Write down the number and what you want to speak in a piece of paper
(2) If you are working, you may want privacy. Step out of the office for a 10 min break with your cell phone
(3) Go to a calm place - could be a garden or a lobby or a rest area or a parking lot or inside your car.
(4) You can also go for a small ride in your car (make sure you have hands free or bluetooth)
(5) Just call the number
(6) There is a person on the other side who is very much human like you
(7) This person is a staff and is doing his/her duty.
(8) Speak out clearly - have a pleasant conversation
(9) After the call - feel proud you are a part of democratic process
(10) Update folks on IV that you proudly finished an action item
(11) Encourage others to do this
Keep smiling and be happy
God bless us all :)
