    Not trying to stress on the price...but just a question ...can we get it for this price ? less thatn 10 ? I am not able to see any under 30 $

    Basically might be better to send 2 for 10$ rather than 1 for 20$ ....or say 5 for 10$ rather than 1 for 50$......

    guess the quantity matters....so if let us know where you can get cheapest so we can send more....

    I think the idea is quite good....we are on indiatimes and so many desis here read indiatimes and the awareness is going to increase....

    all the best to all of us -:)

    First, deecha, and VZLAN you are brave men..hope you get through. When the immigration system is so arcane, you cannot blame yourselves
    ===============

    next, I am in a similar 'somewhat out of status' position myself. i am filing for i-140/i485

    I have been with the same employer since Jan 2004, and have every pay stub since then. However during some time in 2006, the company was in deep trouble, management takeover etc. and we were only paid for time spent on a major project (which was the cash cow). Because i was not directly involved in it, I was paid at about 50%, but every week, which lead my final W2 for 2006 to be around 76% of the total on the LCA. I looked at my paystubs and the total weeks at less than 100% is 5 months.

    For 2004, 2005 and 2007 (on course) I am on course for my full salary. Also I got a bonus and stock options as the project took off and we are all in a better shape and my 2007 W2 should be higher.

    Before 2004, I was a student on a F1 (MS degree) with one h1 in the bad days of 2002. However, my change of status was on the dot.. i.e. i got laid off on a friday and i filed my change of status to f1 the same day. My h1 visa was stamped in 2004 in India. My H1 was extended in early 2007

    I am filing a self-sponsored I140. So, my question is:

    1) Should I wait for 2008/whenever to file my i485 and hopefully show one year w2 and try to see if that goes through?

    2) Try to convince my employer to pay me the back wages for 2006 (they may agree) in lieu of some future pay cut or paid out vacation or trade my stock options. File an amended return with a new 2006 W2 (what are the risks of an audit??)

    3) Try to wait till 2008, stamp my visa extension and then file for i-485 showing only 2007 w2.
    -=====-=-=-====-

    Please send me your perspectives.

    Please see one of the replies I have above in response to another post. You employer could not pay you, but it is not your fault. If a RFE comes up, you can file affidavits to that effect. You have to consult a good lawyer.

    If you are not going to be leaving the US, you shouldn't have to worry about the H1 stamp because you should be getting a new I-94 with your H1 extension approval notice.

    HTH

    I came to the conclusion just based on section INA 202 (a) (5) (A). Nothing more nothing less. You came to funny conclusion of "quaterly basis".
    EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRANTS NOT SUBJECT TO PER COUNTRY LIMITATION IF ADDITIONAL VISAS AVAILABLE- If the total number of visas available under paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of section 203(b) for a calendar quarter exceeds the number of qualified immigrants who may otherwise be issued such visas, the visas made available under that paragraph shall be issued without regard to the numerical limitation under paragraph (2) of this subsection during the remainder of the calendar quarter.

    You are critizising H1B indians and their employer screwing the system which is not relevent to what we are talking here. If you feel so, then attack who ever spoiling the system and regulate those. Instead you are trying to justify your interperataion is right and what DOS is doing is right. I will be the happiest person if they ban labor subsitution and ban desi consulting companies or H1B dependent employer participating in GC sponsering. Then this mess might have not happened.

    Because this discussion has happened so much. That is this exact discussion when everyone was trying to determine whether they should go for eb2 or eb3; the common prevailing attitude was horiziontal rather then vertical.

    What made everyone shut up including me was what was written in november 2005 visa bulletin. It was there for everyone to see how it was going to be interpreted. Anothe law firm had reported chines usage year to date and it was concluded that they may fall short of the 11,000 visas (ie., 7% cap). With all this available; not one lawyer has decided to sue department of state or uscis over this. Why is that? Maybe what they are saying is correct and you are reading into it what you want to read into it.

    Any time someone gets around to explaining the system; they are automatically branded anti-indian. Funny but everyone I know through immigration is Indian. Therefore, whenever someone brands me anti indian or even comes close to it; I get a very good chuckle out of it and so do the people who know me that frequent these boards and immigration.com

    How the visas are being allocated actually is pretty relevant because it helps everyone to understand how it all works and comes together. I had been on the record that maybe people shouldn't get too worked up about this. The louder one becomes the more scrutiny starts happening. Once the scrutiny gets wratched up a few notches; are you ready to counter it.

    What is this scrutiny that you may ask?

    Newspaper in Maine did very thorough investigation of companies who sponsored labors through Maine. It was very hard hitting whcih asked for comments from Department of labor and USCIS. Both are investigating it. Essentially it said that companies rented out a cube and filed 60 labors and 100 h-1b's when their real offices were in other states that were taking a long time to get labors approved.

    Backlog reduction centers are challenging companies to prove that their headquarters were where they said they were? They are questioning whether there is a permanent job. Companies are not responding and letting the labors go. Don't you think department of labor will start going into the approved labors and start scrutinizing them.

    California service center denied many cases for two companies that I know of who had revenues of over $20 million. Reason for denial was that they are temp. agency and no permanent job. No permanent job; no I-140 approval. Companies have gotten a good dose of H-1b RFE's from california service center regarding this. Many have gotten the h-1b's denied because they can't even substantitate they have a job for the person. If they don't have a temp. job then how can they have a permanent job. Chennai consulate is giving very difficult time to staffing/consulates. It has gotten so bad that back in early december; consulates in india said if you are good in english you can go to ther consulaes in india. Guess what? Chennai it only takes two days to get an interview now because everyone refuses to go there. Just a matter of time before new delhi and mumbai catch up. if consulates are refusing visa stamping for temp. jobs what do you think will happen when they start ratcheting it up a notch to the permanent jobs.

    Main reason they haven't gotten into the permanent jobs yet is because nurses which are really in demand also get greencards through staffing companies and are outsourced. Since, nurses are needed; uscis doesn't want to give a hard time to the staffing agencies; therefore, they don't want to be accused of double standards. We will see how this will change if at all as retrogression and increasing visas and studies are performed how people are getting greencards come to light.

    btw; I have been on record that as long as country cap of 7% is maintained; it would have disasterous consequences for India/China to allow 485 filing without priority date. Since the 7% cap applies then that means someone who enters usa today from ROW and files an eb2 labor will get priority over you. Anyone can file a 485 as long as they have a labor, 140 and they are in non immigrant status. I know of three people through other forum who were from ROW; came on visitor visa found someone to file perm labor get approved in a couple of weeks and then go straight to 140/485. Since they can file 485 right away they get precedence over india/china. Anyone on visitor visa would be eligible. This would number in the millions. It would be quite possible that there would be never ending retrogression for India and China.

    Immigration Voice should take up this issue with USCIS. Those who came to US after 2007 should get PD of the date they applied for transfer of Labor OR applied for 140. Other wise it is abuse of law.
    Well Said...
    Is there any agenda from IV core on this issue.

    I became an IV memeber few days back during May 2007 and actually became active sometime around June 10th 2007. Within this short timeframe - IV core and its great (mostly :)) members have given me so much knowledge, confidence that i filed my 485 on my own during July 2nd - I just cant believe that i did that !!!

    Now its July 17th its the same IV who made USCIS accept all those hard earned documents .... Yes - I'm that guy who was forced to sign a $10,000 bond for getting Future employment letter.

    "No bond, no employment letter - show me what you got" - I was thrown this challenge straight on the face. Now once i get EAD its my turn to show them what i got.

    Go IV Go - we are all with you.



    Yes.
    If members continue the support and we will definitely now aim for these. The battle is only half won with 485 filings

    Could not able to understand from where this EB2 Vs EB3 scenario came up, silly.

    If somebody says EB3 filer is inferior to EB2 (in a way), then it is ridicules. Being said that, nobody has asked to them to opt for EB3, it was just the situation they were in when they started their GC journey. Let it be their educational qualification, experience or job requirement, they opted to go with EB3 with full consciousness and also due to some compelling reasons. If EB2 dates are moving forward why EB2 filers needs to be blamed / targeted for that? This doesn’t make any sense either.

    Also, now nobody is stopping them to convert from EB3 to EB2.

    Let us just stop this EB2 Vs EB3 crap and do something constructive. These kinds of fights will not take us anywhere.

    Coming back to the topic of this thread, WHY WE ARE HESITATING TO FILE A LAW SUIT? Any answers?????

    Hi all,

    I have been following this thread and some posts suggest that the Observation on the passport for correcting the name is sufficient. Here is my situation:

    My passport had the name as:
    Surname: A***********
    Given name: P****

    The correct name should be (since this is how I use it in the US now and it applies to all my docs here - GC, DL, school records, everywhere).

    Surname: P****
    Given name: A***********

    I got this corrected in the Indian passport through an "Observation" on Page 3 which states:

    The name of the passport holder appearing on Page 1 has been corrected to read as:
    Surname: P****
    Given name: A***********

    Since this is not a "name change" as such but simply a re-alignment of the last and first names (often a source of confusion from India), I hope this is sufficient and I don't have to go through a name change to get a new passport book issued.

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,


    BTW, no one is telling you the credentials, just letting you know that your rude posting about Admins hiding in a secret place is not appreciated. You cut-past one post, what about your other posts. Do you want me to post them here? Now lets get back to "ownership" and "rudeness" debate because it always turns out that way. You can say anything and if Admin responds, all of a sudden Admin is showing attitude, Admin is rude, freedom of speech, Ist amendment, Admins is dictators, Admins are like Hitler etc etc . Nothing new, we have seen this story repeat countless times.

    And one more thing, you are busier and others have all free time. Is that right?

    Please post all my e-mails here and tell me where i am rude.. This is getting funnier.

    Secret location is like a joke mentioned coz i didnt get response for 4 or 5 e-mails. If you call that rude, dont know what to say.

    I completed my MS in Computer Science from US around 6 years back, was on OPT for a year & thereafter moved out of US & came back to my home town. Have been working here for 6 years now in the software field & have now applied for H1B under masters Quota. Was wondering if I am eligible to apply under this quota as I am neither a fresh masters graduate nor have any status in the US. Also, my lawyer has only filled out the I-129 form. Is there any special form that needs to be filled out to be considered for Master's quota?

    also got the following response for a service request i put in. did not know what to make out of it - is it just a regular response or is this true

    The status of this service request is:

    A review of this case indicates that it appears to be outside of the normal processing times, however processing times that are posted on our internet website are approximate and not exact. This case is considered to be within our current processing time. USCIS is aware that according to the Department of State?s Visa Bulletin, there appear to be visas available however there has been an extremely large volume of case requiring visas. Therefore your category may have already reached the maximum amount of visas available, so please continue to watch the Visa Bulletin in the future to check for visa availability for your category.

    I would be damned if they issued a visa bulletin after being aware of the fact that the visas are over. this is just to cause anxiety and stress to people waiting in the line and just playing with their emotions. this is something really horrible and we should take this very very seriously if those fuckin assholes are not doing their job appropriately.

    Its already there. 20000 for masters and phd students.

    Giving GC to stem is to bypass them from EB based line, which means they won't consume numbers from 140k. Isn't this good?

    Nope it is not good
    Why do STEM graduates have to have it the easy way while we have it hard. The least the STEM graduate can do is wait for 2 years for visa

    $25. Kudos to this fund raising effort.

    Even though $100 was not a minimum, I think that there was a psychological barrier of having it as the first visible option on the contribution page that was deterring a lot of users (including yours truly).

    I encourage everyone on this forum to come forward and do this.
