Friends,
Are we required to carry GC with us all the time ? :confused:
My attorney says we must. What if I lose it or damage it ? Can we carry a photocopy ?

My wife is applying H1B this April 1st against 2007 year general quota and via regular process (not Premium Processing).
Currently she is on H4 with valid I797 (expiry date end of Oct 2007) and expired visa on her passport (June 2006).
She plans to visit India this June and get H4 visa stamp on sometime June 2nd week. She will be returning sometime end of August.
Do you see any problem in visiting India and getting H4 visa stamp (based on the current I797 or I may get an extension by June) while H1B application is pending? What will happen to the H1B approval as it will have current I-94 number? Do we need to go again to India and get stamping after October 1st for H1B?
Or need to wait until August for H1B approval and get the H1B visa stamping instead of getting H4 stamping on June?
Please clarify. Thanks and appreciate your reply.

Jamaica does not require visa for Indian citizens, regardless of US status. One of the very few countries where Indians can go w/o visa along with Thailand and Hong Kong.

Working as a Contractor for an Indian based Consulting Company who make the money? The company or the consultant? There you have the answer.
(Considering the fact that you are paying for the GC process, stuck with the Company, cannot demand for a hike b’coz he know you are stuck and your H1 is 6+ years)
I am not talking about SAP Consultants. Take an average Software Consultant.
The Story may be different when working for a “friends” Consulting Company. But this is in general.

stucklabor,
Thanks for your post. It's good to hear the perspective of a core member of IV like yourself. I understand your point of view but respectfully disagree with your definition of the greatest good. The greatest good will not be achieved by just passing the labor cert. stage. The greatest good is achieved once we have the GC card. Your effort on retrogression to benefit 250k & 200k is plausible. But you help them to pass one bridge, to just get stuck on the next. If there are 25k people stuck in name check at this time, imagine what will happen when the estimated 200k-250k reach that stage.
If the 25k spent in average 3 years in the name check, what will be the wait time for that massive population that are headed that way after retrog & labor cert? The EB process is a big picture and the greatest number will not get the greatest good until all these obstacle are resolved all the way to the end.

Most probably Reid would bring back CIRcus back on senate floor on May 25 .... :mad:
Remeber that if Reid decides for cloture first and after that amendment then very high chances of passing this bill in senate because Cloture needs 60 votes but passing a bill needs simple majority i.e. 51 votes ...
Core, what is our action plan, support any single amendment and by doing that support entire bill or oppose entire CIRcus?

Don't lose focus of what we are trying to do here. Let's not get caught in the hysteria of media exposure. Our cause is just and our demands are reasonable. They are demands that most Americans would sympathize with if they were properly informed. So, let's stay above board on this. Let's be the smart and educated bunch that we are and be saavy and articulate - This means laying our case to responsible and respectable members of the media and not rabid pundits and ideologues.

I think it's a way to manage your own expectations - if EBn works out in a reasonable amount of time (varies from person to person), the US is a great place to be, otherwise, your own country is not all that bad. :D

Hey Coolduggar,
Can u pls give me the number u called...
Hello All ,
My application for i485 , i765 and i131 was recvd in Lincoln,Nebraska on July 23 , 2007. (Sent by my company's attorney on July 21) . I have been waiting for over 2 months for any updates or receipt notice but nothing so far . After reading some forums in this website , i called USCIS (number from USCIS website) and got my case escalated to an officer who asked my last name ,first name , date of birth and coutry of birth . He gave me all the three receipt numbers for AOS , AP and EAD . All the receipts numbers are starting with WAC meaning the cases were xferred from Nebraska to California Service Center . When i looked at online status of i485 case , it says the case is xferred to Nebraska since it is in their jurisdiction . The other two cases for EAD and AP are pending . I still have not recvd any receipt notices from my attorney . So , i guess everyone who is waiting for their receipt notices might want to call USCIS and get their numbers .

I really appriciate the work of the core members.
i actively particiapted in the tech workers yahoo group, irrespective of hard work by many it failed to make a huge impact, probably because of lack of clear leadership & focus but in the case of IV, the core team's active role and leadership makes our voice being heard in the media and in the US congress.
Thanks a lot.

Question is what happens if I decide to withdraw the H1b App
Or just change the job .. will then still then keep RFE alive?
If my employer won't give the wage reports etc. today.. he's definitely not going to give me that even in future then..
'GC_ASP' is trying to say, "USCIS may open ur I140 and send an RFE for ability to pay..."

actually, it's not a bad system, at least in India when you pay a bribe things get done. In a crazy way its probably more efficient.
here you have no choice, stuck in the line with no way out.
And premium processing is nothing but an official bribe, to expedite your case. But it's an organized system of bribes: first you pay PP for H1-b, then PP for LC (aka Perm, since atty fees are much higher than for RIR), then PP for I-140, but at each stage you pay a bribe and get stuck in another long line at the next stage. Only way out is by paying another bribe.
So, in the final analysis, which country is more corrupt?
India does bribes on a small scale, at lower levels of authority. US does it officially thru the govt!
Money talks in every country, and frankly I dont mind paying the price for faster service, now if only they would introduce bribes for I-485.
I am sorry, but I have to heartily disagree with this. Bribing is one of the reasons that India is backward. Don't forget that India has millions who don't get enough to eat or drink, and also has some of the poorest people in the world. Massive corruption has helped creat a situation like that. Whenever a person takes or gives a bribe, it is like robbing someone of what they should be earning. When you pay a bribe, you are in a big or small way contributing to poverty.
Also, I don't consider the premimum processing fee to be a bribe. The money they get is used to pay salaries to their employees legally.
I have no doubt that the US is less corrupt, and I am glad it is this way!!!
I guess different people may have different takes on this, and this is mine.

Hi Experts,
The question i've is:
I heard from my Immigration Lawyer that,from November 01, 2008, any person who works in Information Technology (IT) and who has Advanced Degree from USA like Master's is eligible for EB3 Category only and not EB2 category. Please confirm if the above statement is true or not.
Thanks,
Abhi
Did he also mention that to qualify for EB1 you have to be from Mars? :D

Please be careful before making allegations. There is nothing morally or legally wrong about planning your taxes. Do you claim your spouse or kids as your dependents in your taxes? Why is it wrong to get an exemption for your parents whom you support with your earnings?

I will be calling today in the morning and have told several of my friends to do the same. whenever I get a chance at parties or get togethers I tell people about IV and I was surprised that 80% of people (who are stuck in this mess) have not heard about IV. so I would urge everyone to mention IV whenever they meet anyone who is in a similar mess ..especially inform batchmates and new friends and ask them to atleast register
My experiences have been similar. Not many immigrants I meet at social / cultural venues know about IV. I would urge every member here to actively spread the word of IV and membership at every possible and appropriate occasion you get in a face to face manner at your regional / national cultural associations / festivals / functions / events / summer picnics etc.
And more important is to call as per action items, so please take a few minutes from work to call.
Thank You.

A lot of times.. companies use this bugaboo of job desc etc.. Those that want to promote you badly enough will find a way.. First of all.. What your job title is v/s what labor is filed under is not directly related.. Secondly you can have matrix responsibilities that span across 2 bands etc.. So lot of times it's an excuse to not have to let you down hard way.. always easier to blame on that "damn immigration queue"

My and my employer talked to National Customer Service Center and they dont provide any information other than opening service requests. My employer asked her to connect him to an IO and she said she doesnt have authorization to do so. what the heck? Is there anyway to talk to an IO rather than the customer service rep. Please let me know if anyone has done that before and how they were able to get to them.
