Ok the bill is on THOMAS.
Here's the link to the bill
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d109:23:./temp/~bd2vNO::|/bss/d109query.html|
It's already been referred to the House Judiciary. Since it had to do with Competitiveness i'd rather much rather see it in the House Energy and Commerce or House Science Committee. Despite all their talk of 'welcoming legals, and pro-immigrant, anti-illegal immigrant" pronouncements, they haven't done much to help legals in the Judiciary Committee.
logiclife: thanks for setting up the webfax. Appreciate all the work you guys are doing.
Btw, in the senate skil bill (s 2691) i see a new co-sponsor added, TX Sen Hutchinson. Can you set up the Webfax in a way that we can email our Senators/Congressmen to request they co-sponsor their chamber's respective versions of this legislation? Thank1

A lawsuit against USCIS for $20, thats cheap, I am in. BRC screwed me twice, when both labors went to BRC with no outcome then I filed third in PERM and thatwhy I am stuck with 2005 Sep PD with folks who just came to US in last 12 months and filing for 485 now. I know most of BRC folks are still stuck there and I am with them, lets get this cleared and have celebrations with all of us.

I am finding it difficult understanding what author meant here...
Can some one please help me understanding the text below from (paragraph 8)
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm
USCIS does not have to define "immediate availability" strictly on the cut-off dates listed in the Visa Bulletin. Rather, both State and CIS could post estimated "qualifying dates" on their websites so that, precisely as now happens in a consular case, USCIS would now allow pre-filing of adjustment applications so that applicants could begin to assemble the necessary documentation and send in their I-485 packages so that USCIS could conduct necessary checks and get the case ready for formal submission when the priority date is reached. Only at that point would CIS formally request an immigrant visa number from the State Department. Not until then would the adjustment of status be considered "filed". The beauty of this is that Congress need not lift a finger; all that need be done is for USCIS to modify the definition of filing contained in 8 CFR Sections 103.2 (a)(7) and 245.2(a)(2). If Congress wanted to ratify what the USCIS had done, it could certainly do so after the fact. Everything that we now consider to be the adjustment of status process could take place before the I-485 is "filed". Nothing could be simpler. The reason to seek Congressional modification of INA 245(a) is not because it is only way forward but because, by enshrining such a procedural benefit in the INA itself, it will be a much more secure right, one not subject to administrative whim or unilateral repeal. This process would not only afford the Visa Office a more accurate picture of adjustment demand but it holds out the potential of drastically slashing processing times. Far from granting adjustment applicants any special or unfair advantage, the use of qualifying dates as a way to define immediate visa availability would serve to harmonize the green card process in and out of the United States. Clearly, close and constant coordination between the Visa Office and USCIS would be required and integration of this procedural innovation with the Child Status Protection Act is transparently necessary. Given the obvious and not insignificant benefits, any transitional angst is surely worth the effort.
Does it mean pre filing can be done through executive power?
Thank you.

Please don't go to Law Offices of Mona T. Movafaghi, Merrimack, NH ..She accepted my case two weeks back and charged $4000 same day. She hasn't filed my case yet. She is not even responding to my phone call and she is NOT commiting anything. I couldn't come out of her, so much of frustration .....

It's true that Democrats tend to be pro immigrants a bit. However, most of their backers are labor unions, which obviously don't want to see any more labor here, legal or illegal.
How will these forces play out on the floor is anybody's guess. We've seen how a Republican congress works. Let's see how a democratic congress will. I'm just a little bit hopeful... same as 12 monts ago... not more... not less.

Hi all,
Sorry to be asking again, but I needed some details on changing employers before Oct 1st.
Here's the situation. I am currently on H4 and got my H1B approved this year through a consultancy with start date of Oct 1st 2007 (lucky to get through lottery).
I only have a copy of the H1B approval notice.
A few days back I got an offer for a full time position with another company (NOT a consultancy). And they are willing to do my H1B.
I learned through this forum, that applying for a change of employer before Oct 1st with an approved H1B, is like getting a new H1B only i'm already counted against the cap for the fiscal year. And because it's considered "new" paystubs are not required. Hope I've got this much right.
My questions are:
1. Are all the documents required the same as when you apply for a new H1B ? Only you also have to add the approved H1B notice?
2. Is it ok if a COPY of the H1B approval notice is sent? Consultancy had a verbal agreement with me that I should work for a year with them , but I don't think anything is on paper. Also they said they would only give me my H1B approval notice (original) once I was placed on a project with them.
3. Does the job title have to be the same? Consultancy applied as Programmer Analyst, and the new company needs a Web Programmer/Server Administrator. Would that cause any issues?
4. The new company plans to do premium processing, so if all goes well, can I start working with them as soon as the receipt notice comes in, or do I have to wait till I have the approval notice in hand?
5. Can the consultancy cause any problems for me with respect to my H1B? Is there any way they can find out about this and revoke my H1B?
If anyone has been through this and got their H1B approved with a different employer before the H1B start date, then please post your replies here. What were the hurdles , and what should I be wary of to ensure everything goes smoothly?

I filed my labor twice with Fragomen and got rejected in 2001 and 2002.
Just for H1B visa extension they took more than 9 months. Although they have all my papers for months. Eventually, I had to leave my employer for good.
Stay away from them if you have choice.
In my case they took 10 months to file my labor back in 2001. Instead of filing my case in June 2001, they filed my LC only in the middle of Feb 2002.
Also they never provide any update. Whenever you call them, they are always away from the desk and wanted us to leave a message. Even if you leave a message you don't expect any response from them.
When my I-140 was approved back in 2006, they filed my 7th year H1 extension. They chose 1 yr extension instead of 3 yrs. I pointed out that mistake 3 times and i never singed the form till they corrected it. It took four attempts to file my H1b extension.

We had a very bad experience with the the Fragomen, Philadelphia Office. We sent our signed forms on 2nd July and they delayed a month and filed only yesterday 2nd August.
They take things for granted unless you escalate to your HR and make sure that they are under pressure to act quick.

Jaime, your thought of having one more rally in Silicon Valley is a good one but again you are going to have the same crowd..!!
People in neighbouring states of DC did not make it , you tthink they will make it all the way to west coast! very doubtful!!
We should aim at bringing in more people to this family as possible..
Looks like a simultaneous rally on a weekend will be very effective!
And this time for the rally we will carry one one slogan banners
'SHORTEN THE WAIT FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS' or something similar!
just a thought!
You are right rajsand..we can make more people to rally by oranizing the Rally duing the week ends and also that we need to make sure to have some Volunters to get in touch with the IV members through e-mail or by calling them which ever is convinet to make sure weather they are attending the rally or not..if yes collect their names and contact info.. in that way we can estimate that how many people will be attending the rally and we can plan accordingly to infrom some news channels to cover the rally in that way we can able to get more media publicity...it's just my thought..what do you guys say?

I don't understand the confusion. Didn't Ron mention in an earlier post that the DoS guy who makes cutoff decisions said that all new EB-2 India visas will only come from EB-1 unused numbers?
Doesn't matter what Ron thinks - what matters is what DoS is planning to do.

Every airlines has its onw set of issues - u will get the pinch only when shit hits the fan. My bags were stranded in Dubai and when I reached Chennai I had nothing with me except a small bag with no clothes.
The agents told me - if you have Indian passport then Emirates will give you $$ compensation per day but if you have American passport Emirates will give $$$ per day. They reimbursed me for 2 sets of clothes and shoes and $50 per day for three days because my bags arrived one by one on the third and fourth day after calling them everyday and pressurising them. If we did not call them - the bags would come slower than that. In Dubai the bags were in hot sun and I had choclates inside and somehow the cover broke and choclates melted and seeped through and a I think you all can imagine how it is.
What I am saying is - things are good everywhere unless we get into issues. Things were good until Retrogression hit us here. Now we complain about difference in treatment - but earlier wenever complained.
What I am saying is - when dealing with things outside of your home country - you cannot expect or assume fairness to you.
I would submit that this is far more discriminatory than Air France or any other airline flying via Europe. The European carriers are bogged down by their country's immigration policies, it seems. I flew Air India via Frankfurt once and the German security officials had all Indian passport holders (not possessing a Schengen or transit visa) quarantined in a separate holding area with inadequate seating and restrooms for the hour-and-a-half layover. I can imagine the frustration that would have ensued had there been longer delays.
However, unequal compensation for troubles caused by the airline is entirely a different and unacceptable matter. It is discriminatory and I'm sure it violates some international mandate somewhere.
I disagree that because you are outside your country, you cannot expect to be treated fairly. Unless they have a solid evidence that you have broken a law, they should not treat you any different than any other person.

Get copies of your 140 approval and labor filing papers. Look for a job and transfer h1b , you will get 3 years transfer/extension based on yiour approved 140.
Once you settle down in your new job, apply for new Labor in PERM (preferably EB2) , and you can port your earlier priority date.

Congratulations to all who can file for 485.
I am assuming , those who are eligible can file for 485 during the entire month of July , irrespective of next bulletin for August that will be released sometime between Jul 10th and 15th. (Can some one please confirm.)
Thanks (always) to IV and congratulations. Does any one know why Waldenpond said it is best to apply by the the of 2nd July.
Once again congratulations :)
1st July is Sunday!!! so we have to apply on 2nd July..

I agree with a_yaja,
We all came from H1B root. We pass that barrier and want to shut gate!!
This is not fare. Remember, when some people have opposed I 485 filling provision in Feb 15, many of our members hammered them with selfish label !
How come we suggest to stop H1B?
It is amusing to see that there are quite a few people who want the very door closed that they used to enter. It is even more amusing to see that the fault is always someone elses. It is similar to all the people who are opposed to immigration because it is someone elses fault that they are losing their job. Down right funny :p.
We need to focus on solving our problems without blaming others for our problems. Because once we go down that lane, we are no better than anyone from NumbersUSA or any other organization/ people who are against immigration. It is OK if we do not support increasing H1B - but saying that the H1B program needs to shutdown is not correct. I am sure that one can reason in the same breath that the EB3 category needs to be eliminated so that retrogression can truely be eliminated :eek:

This time mostly bill will be passed in the senate. But no one knows how house will handle. If house also passes some form of CIR then Conference commitee will have power for synchronisation of house and Senate. That time some important provisions could be thrown out. Who will be in conference comittee?
as far as i know Reid is smart about this thats why hes using the "clay pigeon" manuevre where all the 24 amendments would be tied as one amendment and then voted to pass on, once its passed then the cloture vote will come in (without the individual amdts yet voted on) once the cloture vote is secured then they will have 30 hours to vote all the individual 24 amdts after whc a simple majority vote ( min 51 votes) wud be needed to clear the bill...real smart
