What are YOU smoking????
Did I say I am special? Don't put words in my mouth. So if you think that abiding by the law makes one special, then I am guilty as charged :-)
Your "fingerpointing" and "why are you special" comment really cracks me up :D
The fact that you are honest makes u special :D :D
I am unfortunate that I may not be like u :(

I talked to my lawyer today about what he thought about this new development and he indicated that there might a court challenge to this new rule. Now from a lawyer's and employer's point of view, I can understand their frustration and they certainly have the money to drag this thing in the court for a while but the question is will they? And if they decided to go to court, will the new rule be halted until a decision is made by the court? He indicated that the least the lawyer's and employer's might accept is to exclude the existing approved labors from being affected by this new rule.
Let's all hope that they don't succeed; otherwise this new rule won't help us as much as it could.

My fear came true today. USCIS issued a RFE for my wife's I-485 TB test and she is in India right now. RFE has May 6th deadline and she would be back on June 3rd.
What are our options?
Request an extension for RFE?
Pre-pone her trip? (this would be really a costly option for us...since we have so much planned around that date)
Do TB test in USCIS approved surgeons in india (If there is any)
Thanks,
GCisaDawg
Please check the website of the US consulate of the particular region of India where you reside, like delhi or chennai etc, and or call their information line. They would have local hospitals or Medical examination certification centers that are designated by the consulates as being eligible for providing medical certificates, especially for people with Consular Processing interviews. I guess, that could probably help. Consult your lawyer or take an infopass to verify this information accuracy. Thanks. Sree

I dont see any issues here. he is applicable, he has required skill and education. he should be file for EB2
The fact that he's asking whether he qualifies for one, on an online forum,shows his level of skill and education. Enough said :)

The intent of US immigration (employment or otherwise) is to import diverse population such that it benefits US in various different ways (socially, culturally, economically). Employment category comes under the larger umbrella of such goals.
.
Diversity is definitely not meant for EB based categories. EB immigration is purely based on merits. I think you are inventing a new "intent" here.
I remember one republican member of judiciary committee recommending to get rid of Diversity visa category all together and granting those visas to EB category while discussing the visa recapture bill.
He also proposed to reduce FB immigration and grant those visas to EB.
Why are you sounding like an anti-immigrant ? Did you already get your green card ?
Anyways bills and amendments are meant to fix laws that are outdated or irrelevant.
If US was really concerned about diversity, they should take into account the ethnicity of all GC holders and citizens when considering the country limits.

IV tracker shows 3000+ EB3-I applicants, however, it is not a good tool to make analysis off of. The sorting function does not consider month-year combo. Anybody knows how to download the data to run your own post processing??

I can understand your feelings.
As of now, the only solution is to support IV to push for getting wasted numbers back and removing per country quota.
-GCCovet
Guys!!!
Had it been the year like 1999 with all the efforts from IV, I am defintely sure the CIR reforms would have passed by now.
Issue here is the economy, recession looming large on our face, unemployment level rising, and no one knows whats going to happen in the next two-three years becuase of credit crisis and oil price going above the roof. If this continues for another year, we will be in deep s***.
Thats why no will dare to increase the workforce by issuing more grren cards. Atleast we should feel happy that they havent stopped issuing the cards.
I know its painful to be waiting for years to get a GC. But you do not know how green that card will stay if the current financial crisis continues for 2-3 years.
Fact is, this country is going thru a difficult period of uncertainty. Because of election year rhetoric, no one is going to accept it. But clearly, its not in their interest to get more workforce into this country. They know we have been waiting, and will continue to wait. Look at 2002/2003/2004, when they issued only 20K visas for the entire year. So just hope that things will get bright for this country soon else, we are in for an another hell ride.

I looked at the pdf briefly but did not completely understand what changes are proposed for H1b in the bill.
Below are some per my understanding. And also below are questions.
1) Now it looks like H1b requires PERM type recruitment. Is it only for new H1bs or also for extensions & Transfers?? Most of us are already in our 7th/8th year extensions and some others are in 9th & 10th years. It will impact further extensions or transfers and will jeopardize our GC process.
2) These changes would unnecessarily scare away genuine employers as it is like a mini- GC perm process. They may settle for an unqualified or less qualified citizen instead of hiring a highly qualified H1b suitable for the job.

This is good but too late. Now that BEC's have already cleared lots of labors and it is now in the pipeline of substitution. By the time they actually impelement this rule, they would have cleard all the backlogs. May be this will stop only 5-10% of BEC labor substitution.
If they had implemented this rule a year or 18 months back when they started this BEC, it would have helped us a lot. If all the BECs are cleared and those labors enter into substitution pipeline before this rule is enacted, then it will not cause any improvements for retrogression.
So do not get too excited now. It is already too late. If for some reasons, if it eliminates some substitution it is only a little releif for us. Overall it is a good move.
WHY DID NOT they talk about this implementations all these times and talk about it NOW should answer the strengths of AILA and other lobbying groups who have vested interest in this substitution. Now these orgs will not oppose much on this rule as they have already made 80% of labor substutition bussiness which was worth multi million dolloars to them. They are ready to forego meagre 20% business and will also look like a good cop for public by supporting this rule.
I see DOL making so many improvements, PERM process in full gear, BECs finishing up most of their backlogs, and then, no labor substitution rule. Hope USCIS takes some inspiration from them.

Hey Ryan,
Why didn't your MBA help you much?
No offense, but of all MBA'ites I have spokeN to, only you have said so.
What was your expectation from mba, and what did you end up with??
Thanks
Hey Bel -
Quite honestly I think the best value from an MBA is derived from the timing, i.e. where one is in his / her career. I had a B Com (Accounting) from University of Sydney, an American CPA, combined with 10 years of work experience whilst enrolling for the MBA. I knew ahead, the curriculum wasn't going to bring added technical knowledge, however, it did bring some new ways of approaching the business community. Having the opportunity to sit in a class room and share / hear experiences from some of the successful executives does broaden the thought process. The program also helps build / expand the network. Again, I didn't feel I learnt something groundbreaking on the technical aspects of accounting / financial analysis, or the everyday business etc, but I wouldn't say it was completely useless. Plus for some reason, the "tag" does help.
BTW, I'm not sure the background of those who provided you feedback. My sentiments are shared at least by 3 good friends. One is a Wharton Alum and the other two, from University of Toronto. All of whom had at least 14 years of work experience, and were Canadian Chartered Accountants at the time of enrollment. The feedback could vary depending on the backgrounds.

USCIS cannot keep the filing fees if they return your application. They can only keep it if they do accept it and then deny/reject your application.
looking at what happened on July 2nd, USCIS can do whatever it wants to do.

Nuclear energy co-operation

there is an agenda on Improving economic ties . Will it be possible to touch base with the corresponding Indian representative on the above meeting to stress on removing retrogression. This would be a good platform to include the idea bcos of higher visibility and more negotiations possibility.

I recently went to South Korea and entered the US on the AP since I didn't feel that I had enough time to wait for my H-1B stamped in my passport at the US emabassy in Seoul. Before leaving the US, I consulted with my attorney on this issue and she assured me that my H-1B is valid as long as I file the extension and maintain terms of the H-1B visa.
This is her opinion in quotes:
"I wanted to emphasize that you do not need to obtain the H visa as long as you have an unexpired Advance Parole document to use instead. To clarify, you are then entering in parolee status but in later filing an H extension or change of employer petition, DHS will terminate the grant of parole and admit you back into H classification. Additionally, if you enter on the advance parole and work consistent with the terms of your underlying current H petition, you are not violating your status nor do you need a separate EAD work card."
I hope this helps.
greenlight: Thank you indeed to share such useful information with rest of us.
As your lawyer used the words "change of employer petition", it seems that one can use AP to travel and still after coming back he/she can file for either extension, amendment or transfer. This answers the main concern that I started this thread for.
Also, on other threads I read that its possible to file H1 amendement even if your H1 is still valid. This is one way to come back to H1 status and get a New I-94 card.
Some one also mentioned that if you have a valid I-797 extenstion approval notice and if you show that at POE to IO, he/she may issue an I-94 till expiry of I-797 (3 years) instead of AP (1 year).
I would appreciate input from others who have some knowledge or experience of above situations.
