In addition to contributions, we need to work very VIGOROUSLY on timing the following with the appearance of our Bill on the Hill.
2. Grass root lobbying of our local legislators.
3. Media publication of our issues.
Please focus on these three issues only. Put them on your fridge, car, bathroom mirror, forehead, etc. Whatever works for you.
The remaining activities are of ABSOLUTELY no use for our cause.

I suggest that IV be even concerned about ppl in the pre-application stage like myself. I havent even filed a labor yet as I have no employer (am a PhD student.) I would like IV to take up issues that concern PhD students, for e.g. the current proposals in the PACE bill that appear to exclude current PhD students (as opposed to future "F-4" PhD students) from automatic AOS benefits 1 year after graduation. This is a large constituency who can be mobilized for IV if IV decides to pursuse this. It is actually a very commonsense amendment to PACE that can be included in the bill if the right people are informed about it. I have drafted a very detailed letter and can make it available here.

A friend of mine filed a few days before me and got his EAD a few days ago..from TSC.Hoping the July 2nd rush would not affect me by more than a few weeks.My lawyer is not able to confirm if the checks were cashed. I cannot tell if the checks were cashed either as these were checks from my company.
The lawyer however mentioned that my premium processing check may return (I-140) and my application may have gone in regular queue. Everything is speculation for now..Any one else in the same boat or can throw more light...

A potential employer has offered me to substitute 2001 EB3 labor. Would DOL accept unapproved labor substitution ? what is the probability of rejection (assuming there is very good match).
What kind of queries can we expect from the DOL ? what questions should I ask the potential employer ?
Incidentally, How many applications are there in the backlog processing center by priority year ? Check USCIS about the labour substitution and if they find that you are no fit then they may deport you... 500,000 people are in line and your post says you might be new one who wants to get in the middle of the line..CareFul Watch Out

Guys,
Would it be of benefit, if USCIS sends us a notice when our petition is "Pre-adjudicated; awaiting visa number"? So, we can at least be in peace and go on with our life?
Also, I see there is a suggestion to NOT count Dependants in the VISA numbers, since they are not counted for other visa (H1) status. Its a very good suggestion. We just have to be ready with the counter-argument, if we are told, H1 Dependant is H4 and not eligible to work. However, once GC is approved, that spouse gets equivalent benefits and hence its counted.

Several people i know got RFE during H1 transfer and few got denied . At the same time many got approved.
Mines also got denied even though i a have a project and with big company.
But if you are over 180 days you can take a chance. It is better that getting less salary. You can transfer on premium and switch company after it gets approved.
On the side note: dont transfer your h1 to a company starting with cognXXXXX and ending with "solutions". their immigration department sucks and several of their transfers are having issue.
Hello My current Consultancy is not paying me well, they are holding $1000 from my monthly pay check. :( I have a long term contract with client where I am currently working. I am think of H1 Transfer to other consultancy.
I want to know is this the right time to go for H1 Transfer? :confused: Are H1 Transfers getting rejected?
What happens if my H1 transfer got rejected? My H1 with the existing will remain right? Will my current consultancy knows if my H1 Transfer is rejected?
H1 Transfer rejecting = H1 Visa rejection? :confused:
Please let me know.
Thanks a lot.

But if we would be able to pass just recapture of Employment Based visas at this stage, Family based visas recapture can be taken up later on. This is just a thought. IV core group and members can discuss this idea for further action.
I am single but still I would say Family based visias should be given first preference over employmeent. They need it more than us. Think about the seperated family. GC is not stopping u from working right...?? But GC for familys separated is stopping them from living together.

Since I did my master's here. I think they filed my case under EB1...I need to re-check. If this is the case then how long does it take. Yes I'm an indian.
EB1, EB2 and EB3 depend NOT on your personal qualifications but on the job requirements, which are:
EB3 - BS or BS+<5 yrs
EB2 - BS+>5 yrs or MS
EB1 - PhD
Find out from your employer or from the job ad that you've been hired for. Good Luck!

Make sure your wife gets new H4 with valid i94. Entering with old H1 stamping does not hurt as long as it is not expired. But you should be careful not to continue with it without thinking about H4.
You might have valid H1 with new company with valid i94. You are safe until next extension, but your wife will go out of status once her I94 expires. Better to talk with your company attorney and get the H4 transfer process going.

The PD hang around 2003 from 2006 to 2008. In 2006 to 2007, whole year, the PD stay for Jan 2003. In 2 years, dates moved very little. What they are doing in those years ?

Sorry I was busy doing my work and hence could not immediately answer your questions on hypothetical situations and some wrong conclusions.
FBI check for visa (H1 and L1) is different from what you get when you apply for GC (consular or AOS). While you are patiently (!) waiting for more from the other 257 people to answer you, please check some USCIS documents.
One has to be thankful that these two screenigns are different because there are people stuck for years in this step when they apply for GC.
Like somebody said, good luck!
I've been thinking about this for a while. Typically, it takes more time in average to obtain a green card through adjustment of status (I-485) than going through consular processing. Here's the part I don't understand! Both applicabts have to pass FBI name check. Those who use I-485 are already in the U.S. and that means they have gone through FBI name check once they applied for a visa at an American consulate/embassy to enter the U.S. under any visa category. Therefore, their background has been checked once and should be less questionable than those who go through consular processing and it's the first time FBI is conducting a name check on them. Now, how is it possible that I-485 applicants have to go through hell to get their green cards while consular processing applicants feel the heat of a green card in their hands much sooner?

I apologize for hijacking this thread. I could not find a way to create a new thread. I subscribed for monthly contributions almost 5 days back and still don't have access to Donor's forum. Emailed the admins, still no response. Can the admins take a look at this one please?
And also how do I create a new thread? I did this some time back, but could not find it where to start.
Thanks
