Politians will act when they think it is time to act. It is already known that the CIR is planned for second half of May in the senate. Why would they want to lay it out in detail and have those against conduct minute analysis and attack it. So they will only reveal the content closer to the debate.
It is clear Nancy Pelosi has told Bush, if you want it, deliver me the Republican votes and then I will schedule it. She is not going to spend her political capital on CIR. She knows Democrats will vote for it, but republicans will play both sides and she does not want it to happen. The senator who are elected for 6 years (as opposed for 2 years in the house) are less affected by short term public opinion and do what is right for the country. Even there Presidential hopefuls change their tune, like McCain. He was too left of the republican party and now he is moving too much to the right and will please no one, just like Romney.

try it and let us know how that works out for you :D:DSo basically you are saying you cannot sue the people responsible for greencard problem.
I think the only option left is to either sue God or sue yourself for your bad luck.

I wud just like to add that shud you travel and use your current visa your new I-94 will be stamped with date June 07. Then you have to extend you H-4 and your old approval will not be valid.
That's not true. I've done that many times, and I'm sure many other would have done the same without affecting the newly approved petition.
Yes, something about the "last action rule" (I don't know much about it) causes some problem when you are outside the US at the time your H1/H4 petition gets approved (in other words, you should be present in the US the day the H1/H4 gets approved) but this rule does not apply in this case because the petition has already been approved.
These are just my thoughts. And I am not a layer.
Do you have a basis for the statement you are making? Any references, rules, etc.?
Have a great trip

Were you kidding or serious? You just quoted the very same name that guy is to avoid.
Fragomen is the only part missing in the name you mentioned. I hope the other three didn't ditch Fragomen to start DBL..
Iskreddy, you r rightt.... "Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen and Loewy, LLP" is the complete name :-)

Hmm...that is an interesting trend. With TSC approving 485's left and right these days anything is possible at that super-center !
Yes, it is for TSC. And i did check . Thats how i realized they are approving AP and EAD for the early June filers. And i assumed my AP will be approved in couple of weeks. But never thought my July filed EAD will be tied along with my June filed 485. I don't see any AP or EAD approved for even early July filers in atleast for India.

Unfortunately lot of fresh PhDs who apply as EB-1 even after getting a faculty position are usually denied on grounds of lacking enough professional experience. It is not easy to be qualified as a n EB-1 even if you have a PhD. So, most of the PhD's I know are in the EB-2 queue.
But with this provision, those PHDs will get their own quota, they would not have to contend with EB2 or EB1, right?

Hi!
I have a question about wether a person with US Masters can qualify for EB1 category? Please comment.
I know generally people with such qualification fall into EB2 category. However, does years of expereience and say Patents qualify you to be considered as EB1?
Thanks for reading this thread and commenting.

i guess I am going to be in trouble in case I have to get a new PCC. I will try and get a new one when I reach India. Also update to my status is that chennai consulate has sent a letter to my local address in India about the interview appointment date.
The reason consulates in the US take 50 days for PCC is that they send the request to regional Passport Office in India who take like 45 days. So you may probably apply at PP office in India and get the clearance.

This is a weak president making rhetorics which never pan out. He knows his time has come to step out and this is only an attempt to use his left over strength. Honestly the president no longer enjoys support of his own party members and this is only rhetoric. There is just not enough time to move this through senate, house and then agree on it all.

Hello,
I have not seen the 485 receipt notice come through and its been over 6 months since I applied. Down the line after a few months we will have to start preparing for EAD and AP renewal and I take it we will need a copy of the 485 receipt notice to file? Any thoughts.

Hi All,
I have attended for renewal H1B Visa stamping at Matamoros on May 27th 2010.
Here is the complete process that I have followed from start to End:
* I have used a agent for arranging Application fee & transportation to and from Brownsville, TX.
* Drove from Dallas to Brownsville, TX on May 26th, drive was Okay, not many COPS around.
* Stayed at Days Inn hotel owned by Desi, very helpful at giving information on good restaurants around and places to go if there is enough time.
* On May 27th morning 7:45 am agent will come pick-up from the Hotel and take you to the US Consulate in Matamoros (About 10mins drive). On the way he explains all the details of where they meet after the Interview is done and how to get to Port of Entry by Walk. His first stop in Matamoros would be Best Western Hotel where you can leave all your luggage and all the prohibited items at US Consulate.
**** Be sure to carry all your necessary items to stay in Mexico for atleast one more day if your Visa is not ready the same day****
*Then he will drop you at US Consulate and stay outside until you pass the security line.
* After security there are two people checking your documents (I-797, Application fee & Interview confirmation page) and issue you a SERIAL Number.
* After that you will be allowed inside where the first process is to get your pictures and fingure prints taken.
*After that wait for your number to be displayed for the Visa interview (Takes anywhere between 45 to 60 mins at anytime), for me took about 50 mins.
At the Visa Interview counter:
Initial Greeting exchanges and then asks for the paper work (Passports Old & New, I-797 and Interview Confirmation page). She took about 5 mins to go through DS-160 questions/answers filled online.
VO: Why did you change the company from your Old to New.
ME: Explained the situations.
VO: Do you directly work for the client of your Current Company.
ME: No, I work for a client of another Vendor.
VO: This is not the way how the H1B Visa works, you have to work for a Client of your current H1B Employer.
ME: Blank Face, no answer. (I know that is not how the h1B Works, but no answer)
VO: How do we trust that you are really working for the Client.
ME: I pulled out my client letter and Photo ID Card and gave it to VO.
VO: Okay, so, you got the letter from your Project Manager at Client site. Good let me check that.
VO: Can I see all your W2's from the first year that you are in US and pay slips for last six months.
ME: Handed over all the W2's and Payslips.
VO: Can I see your bank statements for last 3 months.
ME: Gave my bank statements.
VO: Let me check all these documents and discuss with my senior. she went inside with all the documents for about 5 mins.
ME: This was the time that I felt tensed, as I don't have a valid visa to enter US if they decided not to issue a Visa based on all the docs that I have. I never felt tensed for the last 4 stampings that I have attended in India.
VO: Came back after 5 mins. Is there any period that you were with current employer and not get paid.
ME : No.
VO: What is your job description.
ME: Explained.
VO: Is your greencard petition filed.
ME: Yes.
VO: Can I see your Approved labot and I-140.
ME: I have approved labor, but, not approved I-140.
VO: You are supposed to carry all the documents.
ME: Blank face
VO: Okay, your Visa is approved.
ME: Thank you :-)
NOTE: I would say if you don't have client letter and a photo id card from client and you won't have a valid visa currently, I would suggest attending visa interview at your home country.
We went back to US Consulate to collect the passport at 3:30 pm, but, those were not ready.
Agent dropped us back at Best western hotel in Matamoros, we stayed there that night. Don't eat at the hotel restaurant, that sucks. There is a very nice restaurant a block away from Hotel (Mexican), very very good food.
Agent picked us back at 3:00 pm next day and took us to US Consulate. Got the passports with Visa stamped and headed to Port of Entry.
Agent dropped us at Port of Entry and we walked across the bridge. There is a small gate when you enter US Geographical area on the bridge, where you need to 50Cents to enter(No need for Under aged children, I guess below 12yrs). Walked over to the port of entry office to get a new I-94. There is a big line, but, you don't need to be in the line, just walked into the first room skipping the line and keep waiting for one of the officers to call you next in spanish for your turn (Took about close to 4 hrs to get the I-94, once the officer is at the counter it's only 5 mins process. But, you won't see any officers coming to counter until the room is atleast 95% filled.
After we got the new i-94 came outside and called agent to pick us. Agent dropped at the hotel. It's a big relief to be back in US.
If anybody is driving, there is a check post 40/50 miles away from Brownsville where Boder protection agents check your immigration papers (took about 2 mins for me).
If anybody have any questions, please let me know.
Good luck.

I am in the same situation currently.
My company's attorneys believe that mine is not an AC21 case because I am going from Software Engineer (per PERM) to Lead Software Engineer, with substantial pay hike.
They are sending me papers for H-1B amendment and extension only (extension because my H-1B will expire soon).
Why is there a need to invoke AC21 in your case? Is there substantial change in responsibilities?
I think there will have to AC21 invoked as there is change in the job location. Secondly I will be going from Senior Assurance Associate to Assurance Manager. There will be additional responsibilities from what I already have.
I hope this H1B amendment will not impede in anyway the GC process. Would it? Thanks!

wandmaker ..Please read Phony postings and do not respond to these guys , they are just playing .. I m surprised senior members are not understanding the intend of the posts .
What can we help if he had problems with employer ? what can we help if he had h1-h4-h1 issues ? Every one just relax and stop replying .
I know every one wants to help others in our community but think twice before replying
I am not posting this for timepass.... This is a real problem....
My employer gave me Mar 12th as deadline.....
wandmaker... I am really sorry ...
here are the details:
when my employer got the RFE.. he asked me to send the following documents
# Previous company experience letters(from INdia)
#All Education certificates
# letter from the End client
# current resume
# w2 form
and he asked me to notarize all these documents. I sent all the requested documents except the end client letter, because my client said that its not their company policy to provide these type of letters.
There are two sub vendors between my client and employer. So I got a letter from one of the subvendor(he is in CA) that I am working in this company through them. In the letter he mentioned other sub vendor name also.
after sending these docs to USCIS ... My employer came back to me saying that he need more detailed documents.
# USCIS is doubting that I am working in CA not in NJ as the subvendor is from CA . But we provided the documents saying that I am working in NJ and I have filed my taxes from NJ only. I have my driving license from NJ.
# My employer filed H1b Amendment (filed in Aug 2007) saying that I work as a computer support specialist(eventhough I am working as a Systems Engineer) to support the salary pay. USCIS is saying that its not a H1B level job.
If I can tranafer my H1b to the main vendor , I will get a good pay and They can say I am working as Systems engineer which is h1b level job.
Can I transfer my H1 in this situation?. Please help.
