I work for company A in india which has a subsidary company "B" in US.
On "B"'s request i worked in US for company B from July 2006 to Nov 2006 (for which i have valid pay checks).
I went back to India and worked for A till June and i came to US again to work for Company B.
Now as soon as i entered US, i have applied for a premium H1 company transfer to Company C.
Now i got a query to submit my Pay checks which i do not have as i resigned Company B after coming to US.
Please suggest me whats the ideal way to answer this query...

my friend.. thanx for your kind words
u and ur non-retrogressed friend have my support for an expedited process since u got US advanced degree that make u better suited for this market.. u should be talking STEM.. i am talking about the disparity in available opportunities to come here back in our homelands. Individual examples aside, I trust statistics, you'll find that each year a handful of giant offshoring companies grab more than half the H1 quota.. is it my streotyping imagination that infosys, wipro and satyam don't hold job fairs in Romania and they only make these opportunities available in retrogressed countries?
Hello! Infosys, Wipro and all those companies are NOT the main sponsors of green cards, which is the reason we're in this forum, no? Most of the sponsors are US based small and medium sized companies.
I don't care how many visas they get, the fact is that it doesn't affect me! I neither have a job with them nor I benefited from them grabbing a bulk of visas. End of the day I'm held back because of where I was born.
Look, this may be hard for you to understand, but just because those companies are in my country didn't and doesn't help me one iota. Everyone's on their own here.
Thanks for understanding that I have an advanced degree.
and don't give me the condescending excuse that if these companies only hire in retrogressed companies then talented, educated people must only exist in the retrogressed countries.
Anyway, i had this discussion many times here .. radical issue where people hardly change their minds..
peace..
That is ridiculous. I never said that nor I will. The reason is because those companies MORE people exist in those countries, and THEY'RE CHEAPER and poorer, that's something I do expect you to understand.
Did stereotyping help you in your discussions earlier?

How we are getting 50k is like this.
1) EB1 Over Flow (50% of EB1 was unused last year) 46k/2= 23k
2) EB2 Over Flow , this number is still fuzzy. But lets say around 10k.
3) EB2 India has quota of 3500.
So approx 40k.
Thanks for the post. However I read testimony that said more than 80% of EB visas have been used up. That leaves only 28k (20% of 140k) at most as spill over for Fiscal 2008. Thoughts?

Thanks for posting 2007 cloture vote. So 53 senators voted in favor of 2007 CIR cloture. If even half of the following 15 Democratic Senators (who voted against the cloture vote) would have voted in favor of 2007 CIR, the bill would have passed the cloture vote, right?
Baucus (D-MT)
Bayh (D-IN)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Brown (D-OH)
Byrd (D-WV)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Harkin (D-IA)
Landrieu (D-LA)
McCaskill (D-MO)
Nelson (D-NE)
Pryor (D-AR)
Rockefeller (D-WV)
Stabenow (D-MI)
Tester (D-MT)
Webb (D-VA)
Look, I am merely saying that it is kind of an urban legend that Democrats support immigrants. But the fact of the matter is, that is entire false belief. And beware when Democrats take over the White House and the Congress in 2008. Legal skilled community is in for a very tough times ahead.
Although, I must add, 2007 CIR was a death-trap for skilled legal community. It would have made life of skilled immigrants very difficult. But non of these 15 Democratic Senators voted against the bill because of this reason. Most of them were pandering to their base to make sure that they are re-elected. So it was good that the 2007 bill did not go through. These 15 men were in-effect our saviors from 2007 CIR :D

kaka,
You have so far been saying "nobody will get GC... it is a scam..."
Now that there is a chance someone will get GC with a new House, do you still go with your "win-win" stand?
Will you change your course too and say something new?
Kaka no offense meant here....just a joke.
In words of the President " He will stay the course"
Cheers

I was sick rest of the day.
I hesitate every day in doing things that help them. So far I have taken temporary decisions to continue.
It is mentally very draining!
I totally understand what you are going through, been there myself! Don't mind those people, keep going and do this for YOURSELF! Yes, many people will benefit from our struggle without having moved a finger, that is sad but that always happens, in every struggle, in every issue. There are other very sad things such as the visa lottery, or the 1985 amnesty which saw thousands of people from overseas come to abuse that even if they didn't qualify, and all those people got a free ride! But you know what? They are there and they won't go away. It is our choice to stay and not go away, and we have to fight for that. Together, we are friends and family at IV. That was evident at the rally! Times may get trying at times, but we'll keep going and succeed!

Personally I think there are no more than 8000 applications left. How I arrived at this number..
Total EB1+EB2 visas = 80,000
Per Quarter allocation= 20,000
Discount factor for dependants = 2.5
Application Left = 20,000/2.5 = 8,000
So the question is how many application are left before Jun'06?

No immigrant Visa is available until the thing is current. From my understanding, Adavnce Parole is not a visa. Quoting from the net.
"Advance Parole is permission for certain foreign nationals, who do not have a valid immigrant visa, to reenter the U.S. after traveling abroad"
"Advance Parole is permission for certain foreign nationals, who do not have a valid immigrant visa, to reenter the U.S. after traveling abroad"

I am self filing I-131. I have couple of questions. Can anyone help me with these?
I am a July 2007 filer. I paid the old I485 fee (and biometric fee). I understand now I have to pay $305. But the instructions also say I need to pay $80 biometric fee. My fingerprints were done in 2007. I do not see anywhere in I-131 instructions that says 'Biometric fee is not required if fingerprints were done already or may be I overlooked it', but it seems someone posted in this thread, bio metric fee is not required.
My question is do I pay $80 now or not?
My second question is on "Class of Admission".
My last entry to US was on H1-B. Now I am working on EAD. What would I write in this box? H1-B or EAD or "Pending 485" or "Advance Parole". I was thinking it is H1-B, but wanted to make sure as I do not want to take any chances...?
Thank you

Having an approved 140 and a 485 pending for more than six months is the safe method of switching. For AC21, the key is to have your 485 pending for more than six months. You can use AC21 to switch employers after six months of filing of 485 even if your 140 is not approved. Its not a simple process but folks have done it.
dilbert_cal:
That's interesting. I did not know that you could invoke AC21 'even if the I-140 is not approved'.
Thanks.

If anybody has experience here please answer the bellow Qs:
01. If I-140 is revoked by the previous employer after invoking AC12, does the status of I-140 changes? Any LUDs?
02. How long does it take to revoke an I-140 after the employer sends the withdrawal request?
usually you get an LUD on 140 and 485 at same time. When does it happen? Depends, for some people it happens after a few weeks for some, few months.
In my case it happened on Aug 5th whereas my ex employer informed me he is requesting revoke on July first week. Apparantly - the same time my 485 also seemed to be being processed because they sent FP notice to my wife and NOID to me, we are JJuly filers and never got FP notices. When I called customer service, they advised that wife can go for FP and I have to respond to NOID and advised me to respond ASAP to continue with the case. My response reached on Aug 25th and I saw soft LUDs hitting my case continuously for 3 days - guess it is with an officer, but never got my FP notice though my wife completed it.

It happened because of relentless canvasing of the media until the story got out and embarrassed the government. "Supporting the troops" is a no-brainer for a politician wanting to score political points. Most Americans could care less about immigrants or other citizens who are married to them. So there is no political urgency to solve that "problem." Although the media has reported that the exclusion of legal immigrants was "unintended," my sources say that the exclusion was intentional.
I had hoped to embarrass the government further by exposing the connection to a known "hate group," but the media has refused to report that part of the story. If I could get the media to expose the racist origins of this law, we might have some hope, but don't count on it.
The next phase is to focus on legal options.
Thanks Totoro for all the great work! Now that they have separated out the army folks, there is very little chance for a separate initiative only for the legal immigrants.Anyway the Govt is running with huge budget deficits and it suits them well to save a few billion greenbacks by excluding the legal immigrants...We are anyway nobody's child!
Most importantly from the politician guys viewpoint in this election year, we cannot vote! So we cannot help or hurt them!

Agree..
Only people with PDs before 2005 know the pain of wait at backlog centers,
If there was no PERM...lot of EB2 guys (including those who oppose porting) with priority 2005 and later would have missed window of July 2007
Porting process is a legit process and for well qualified EB-3 india folks thats the only ray of Hope.
You can rant about it but noone going to stop the porting process becaue the folks who initially filed under EB-3 are now eligible to get Job promotions , new roles and responsibilities in their Career and in some cases new Sr. Job positions which are qualified EB-2. By the way they do file new PERM labor and new I-140, it is not a automatic qualification just based on number of years waiting in the endless EB-3 india queue.
Under the current circumstances where EB-3 india doesnt get any spillover numbers or any such relief like VISA recapture bill, do you expect them to go behind the lines with new EB-2 PD? What about the wait period in the backlog centres, in the PERM process and for few I140 stage waiting period? Its the law and people are following it. You can try porting to EB1 if you are qualified enough and port your EB-2 PD to EB-1.
Just because you are qualified initially for EB-2 doesnt mean others are inferior and they are not eligible to port to EB-2.

You came here 6 years ago and applied for your GC only in 2010. Didnt you find an employer who would file one for you. And you also know if your GC gets screwed for some reason, then you are out of the US also.
Looks like something is missing, Dear.
6 years ago, in 2004 (2010 minus 6 years), there was no retrogression. And you didnt apply though you had an option. Very very funny.
Tell me, what are the facts.
I came in 2005 and was eligible in 2006 for EB3 as per company's policy. There was huge retrogression then and I was hoping EB2 would be better for GC and career. Anyway, that's not the point.
One thing I like is that people are acknowledging the porting is a loophole and plan to use it anyway since it suits them.

If we are educated and highly skilled that doesnot mean that we deserve automatic benefits.
In USA, political system works on coalition. If you help others then they help you in time of need.
How many of us have helped others without thinking "what is in it for me". I have seen people who are stuck in FBI Name Check and they dont help people with F1, H1, GC issue, so when one gets what (s)he wnats, everyone else is ignored.
If we want to stay in USA, then we have to leave our sofas and help other ogranizations in their cause. you don't have to agree with everything they say, but some things can always be agreed upon.
This is what I learnt from Congressman Keith Ellison.
So be part of political process at every level..city, state, etc..
Then when time comes and you need help, you will have people behind it..
