I will match dollar for dollar all contributions for the next 3 hours, if some one from IV will confirm the amount.
Anybody wants to take Sugaur on his offer.
Right now the total to match is $300

Guys, any idea on what happens to GC Process and H1 in case your employer is acquired by another company willing to do similar job.
My company sold my business unit to another company. I filed my 485 3 weeks ago. I'm on my 7th year H1 which is already extended to Nov 2008.
Both companies are willing to cooperate.
Help!

Actually abolishing the whole H1B thing is theonly way. Actually IV should actively start lobbying against any H1B increase. Then only there is a chance of of corp america supporting any GC reform.
IV should work on highlighting the H1B abuse that is going on, in the media
so that the whole H1B will become so radioactive they will be forced to scale down or reform the H1B.
H1B visa is the main reason for EB problems.
Opposing H1B increase may work in theory. In practice, since majority of IV members are on H1B, any argument in this regard will fail.

I don't know the history of BigTime007 postings. Maybe he has said some things in the past that lead to the ban but his most recent post which got him banned seemed just like venting and nothing more.
What I do find annoying though is when ppl whose PD's are in 2006-2007 tell ppl rotting in BEC to "enjoy the ride". I have seen a few threads in the past where someone stuck in BEC was just venting and then ppl come along and tell them to "be happy for others". I don't get it. How is a person who is stuck for years, sees ppl with later cases get interim benefits, supposed to feel happy knowing they will still be stuck. :confused:
I think all these poor souls are looking for is a few words of sympathy and company of ppl in similiar situation (not very different from ppl complaining about retrogression mind you). If we can not do anything to help ppl stuck in those blackhole let's not rub salt into their wounds.
Lastly, regardless of whether you are stuck in BEC or expect to be stuck in retrogression for the next few years, there is no reason to be uncivil.

based on country of origin, why even aus? is it because their spouses are more productive than our spouses? or is it because most aus are white,

Does this Bill and all associated Amendents get the new introduction date or it will basically take over from the Last Bill and Amedments. I am asking this question because last bill saying 140 after May 15 will be invalidated. Is thi still valid for this Bill? or they are gonna use tomorrow's date.

That said, from what I have been reading on talk radio shows, people are disappointed in general with the GOP - even with the pro amnesty position adopted by Pres. Bush, McCain, Specter, etc - and therefore want to give them a bad time. I don't think that was an endorsement for amnesty at all.
The Ombudsman
So your analysis is: people are unhappy with GOP that �some� of them are in favor of immigration measures and punished them by giving control to a party where �most� of them are certain to support those same measures ????!!!???!!! Its most illogical and even comical analysis I ever heard.
Elections show that American people are much smarter than some politicians/talk show/TV show hosts hoped for. True, elections are fought on much stronger issues like war, economy etc and exit polls have shows that people are not too concerned about illegal immigration issue despite of coverage given by likes of Lou Dobbs. Also based on the fate of candidates who made the immigration their main plank, it can be argued that majority is actually in favor of such measures�..election results are a lot complicated to say anything like that�..but�.its a much more logical conclusion that what you were saying.

Appu, what abt labor cert? Does this advanced degree-holder still have to go thru labor cert? If yes, then the person with advanced degree but no experience has no advantage.
Here's the summary from Sen Frist's website:
So if you would have qualified for the F-4 visa if this bill had been in effect at the time of your graduation and you have secured employment in the US, you can adjust your status.
Plus, Section 406 says: if you have been employed for 3 years, then a visa number will be immediately available to you. Otherwise, Section 405 still says you have to wait till a visa number is available.

[QUOTE=eb3_nepa]Guys pls lets keep these contorversial discussions out of here. Yes it is a valid point that H4s shud be allowed to work. However we cannot compare the US immigration system to the Australian one. They are 2 very different systems and the Blunt truth is, if you like the Australian system better go there :)
For openers, let me be totally honest. I am a IT worker who has been and seen others laid off due to the ability of employers to raise the specifications as to what was required for an IT job to the point that foreign workers with PhD's could be hired for less and US workers laid off, so I have a bit of a bias involved here with H-1b visas and L-1 visas.
That said, I would also like to second the statement quoted above and slightly expand it. Here in Texas, there is a statement usually made as one sits down to a table to play cards, "House rules." That means that, by sitting down at the table, you are implicitly agreeing to abide by the rules as established by that particular house. By obtaining a visa from the US government, you have _explicitly_ agreed to abide by the rules set by the US government. To claim that they are somehow "unfair" or "discriminatory", especially after you have agreed to them, implies, IMHO, that you had no intention of abiding by them when you accepted the visa.
During my career, I have investigated opportunities to work in a few other countries and have consistently found that they had significant barriers to a US citizen coming into the country to "take jobs from their citizens". While I might have enjoyed working, for instance, in the UK or Australia, I also accepted that their governments had the right to set their own "house rules". I guess, though, it may be too much to ask to expect similar consideration for the US government's right to set _its_ own "house rules," no matter how quirky they may seem to others.
As for the comparison of which visa holders' spouses/dependents can or cannot work here, I would ask the unasked question, "Why not allign these variances in the visas in the OTHER direction?" (I.e., why not simply change things so that NO spouse or dependent who obtained their visa based upon a primary visa holder is permitted a work-visa?) I realize this is probably not a popular position in this forum but, if for no other reason than being the "Devil's Advocate", perhaps it should be raised and considered. :)

Hi Guys,
I was looking at the AP renewal instructions. It says:
1. If you are in the United States, you must attach:
a. A copy of any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status in the United States; and
b. An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an advance parole document; or
c. If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the adjustment application;
d. If you are traveling to Canada to apply for an immigrant visa, a copy of the U.S. consular appointment letter.
So what I gather from this is that they need:
a) Our H1B status papers and the previous copies of the advanced parole documents.
b) A letter stating why we need the advanced parole.
c) The I-485 receipt copies.
Now it DOES NOT say anything about the photographs if you are filing within the US.
Can someone who has applied for the Advanced Parole (NOT the EAD), please share their experience and what documents are needed. The EAD filing seems to be elaborately covered.
Thanks.
Just I485:
Isn't just I485 receipt enough -
c. If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the adjustment application
( (a) AND (b) ) OR (c)
+ Photographs:
...or if you are in the United States and filing for advance parole document.
You must submit two identical color photographs of yourself taken within 30 days of the filing of this application.
(Photo spec on page 5 of http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-131instr.pdf)
Alongwith I131 and US$305
Note: When I filed EAD, I didn't do over documentation (refer to http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18737). In case of AP also overdocumentation should not be required.

Its good that we have a democratic majority in congress. we also now have work cutout for us to contact new lawmakers. getting more members and members willing to work for local chapters is important at this time. we need to work with renewed vigour now and finish our task. pls help with increasing membership and join your state level chapter threads. I see only very few members have posted their interest. we need interest from each member in order to succeed. I am sure we will succeed. The good times are ahead of us but we need to take advantage of it.

Few months back I was frustrated and was seriously considering going back to India. Until I had to visit Denver for some work last week (where I use to work before). I met one of my freind who is from India and after listening to his story I decided may be it worth waiting for GC. He never wanted to stay in US (not because of GC retrogression but for other reason) and on advise from his coworker he applied for GC. He got his GC in one and half year (wow !! great isnt it). Now look at the life style he is living beautiful house by the lake with view of mountains kids going to good school. He comes home for lunch, work is just couple of miles from home. Huge shopping malls at stone throw distance. Now he thank his ex-coworker for his advise as he and his family is living a wonderful life.
Its just matter of time. Lets look at the glass half filled rather than half empty few months back it was total darkness atleast now we have bills passed by Senate which incorporates IV goals (kudos to IV core and all members). All we can do is try as we did before. Lets renew our fight with full vigor we are half way through. Once it passes HR we are done. I urge all members to participate on Sunday's conference and plan new strategy.
