Ok. I just wanted to gauge the feeling of other guys on the state of the economy. So the economy does seem to be doing bad. May be I am just living in weird bubble where none of the IT worker I know has lost the job.

Both me and my wife are working on EAD.
Our AOS is pending since the July 2007 surge.
My company lawyer recently renewed my H1 (to have it as a backup) and also suggested that we renew my wife's H4.
I received my H1 approval and wife received her H4 approval.
I also visited India and re-entered USA on a new H1 stamp.
My lawyer himself is worried now whether he got my wife into H4 status since her approval in May and that since she continued working, he is worried that she technically "worked while on H4" which is not allowed, based on the last action rule.
Can you advise if we have created any issue by renewing her h4?
Also what is the remedy for this.
According to me this should be of NO issues, since a person is allowed to maintain his/her H status while AOS is pending, as per the dual intent doctrine. Also I think the last action rule is applicable within a specific category. For example when a person applies for h1/h4 at almost the same time, both are non-immigrant categories, then if USCIS approves h1 first and h4 later, then the last action rule would get applied and technically person would become h4. BUT this should not affect the AOS application since its a totally different category, thats a immigrant category.
Please advise if we did anything wrong by renewing her H4 and any solution to fix this.

Not to throw more rocks into the gears here.. But unless the S2 has been updated (which I don't follow really), it was using the chip that was in the Nikon D1 I believe?
If that is such the case, ISO800 is noisy and you can't really shoot above that.
Disregard this if it is newer tech and I'm completely off base.
-- Matt
I don't recall reading anything about Nikon D1 tech being in the Fuji S2... noise seems related to the image capturing sensor and the electronics that follow. The S2 uses Fuji's SuperCCD (which stacks the pixels in a different pattern that allows for slightly better resolution in the "12" MP mode - which certainly doesn't come near the 1Ds, but some say it is better than the 6MP DSLRs, and no, I've not seen a S2 vs. 1DMKII comparison yet). What instead might actually "throw more rocks in gears" is that Thom mentions at the bottom of his review that he's heard more complaints about S2 reliability than other Nikon-based DSLRs, which is worse when one considers the fact that there aren't as many S2s out there as other Nikon DSLRs. It's a good camera image-quality wise, but it's expensive compared to other 6MP DSLRs, and there are questions about reliability. You pays your money and you takes your choice :)

Hello Ms. Miriam:
As a long time subscriber to the WSJ and one of the victims of the "bait and switch" by the USCIS and Department of State, I would like to thank you for covering the article in the WSJ. I would like to kindly direct your attention to the stand taken by AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Assoc.) and Immigration Voice (a non profit organization representing skilled immigrants). I feel it is necessary that the impact and the behind the scenes maneuvering at DOS be covered by a respectable publication such as the WSJ. May I point you to some of the links on the internet. Some are yet-unverified rumors. I hope that you will use your journalistic discretion and power to bring more light to this issue

I hope IV does push for the 485 measure but if for whatever reason they change there mind and dont push for 485, I would be disappointed but that will in no way affect my attitude towards IV. Over the past year or so I have seen enough of core tem to say they take a decision in the best intrest of IV.
I have not filed for I-485 and neither am I close. I feel I-485 is much more controversial interim relief then most members think. This is explained in a post (from a law firm) in another forum. Another reason for my feeling is that AILA is not supporting I-485 filing for health care: they are supporting a temporary 25K-75K increase in GCs. It is possible that health care GC does not have I-485.
You have to choose an issue that has a chance of getting through rather then an issue that most persons want or is logical. I will be surprised if I-485 filing as interim interim relief reaches the bill state and/or the bill gets approved in Senate + Congress.
I do not consider this to be a reason to move away from IV. I agree with some requests that require IV to explain their finances and dis-agree with some IV decisions. In particular, I very strongly dis-agree with some topics + language + tone allowed in the forums. As we are seeing, it is turning people away from IV.
However, based on the big picture and the attitude of core, I will roll with them on any issue they decide to pursue.

We have many in our company went back to India after applying 485 or with pending labor, their GC process still in progress
but they choose to goto India mainly becuase of uncertain GC process
I myself have a good offer from my company which I am pondering on, I am stuck here for a while to finish my masters
if I go back to India, it could be that I might taking many more jobs, as I need to train and build a team in India and replace my team here
oh well, I am sure there are stories similar to this we got to find it, we need to show losing one skilled labor could also mean losing many more

The admin would get an error report if there is a problem. the webfax is sent by a third party vendor who provides service to us. Last time, when we sent this webfax, we did get staff of senate office saying that "Those webfaxes kept on coming". That means that EVERYTHING we send, goes there. Numbers are important.
If 1000 members send it, each office will get 1000 faxes(although not all of them will make it in one day), but a few hundred faxes will make it in next few hours.
Please send this webfax and voice support for Sen. Brownback's Amendment.

10/31/2008: PERM Filing Alert for IT Occupations and Certain Professional Occupations
When the permanent labor certification system used DOT system, there were a number of IT occupations that fell under SVP 8. When the DOL changed the permanent labor certification system, it abandoned DOT system which focused on SVP concept. Since then OFLC has been using O*Net Job Zone concept and applied Job Zone 4 as equivalent to SVP 7 that can require from two years to maximum four years of preparation time (education, training, and experience). The Job Zone 5 is practically equivalent to SVP 8 that can require from four years to 10 years of preparation time (education, training, and experience). During the DOT era which ended on March 27, 2005, some IT occupations fell under SVP 7 and some IT occupations fell under SVP 8. Accordingly, EB-2 labor certifications for IT occupations were filed and approved when the occupations fell under SVP 8. Software Engineer, DBA, Science/Engineering Application Programmer, etc. illustrate these IT occupations.
When the O*Net Job Zones replaced the DOT, the system downgraded all the IT occupations into Job Zone 4 except Computer Information and System Manager occupation (IT Manager) which remained at Job Zone 5. Since all the IT occupations other than IT manager belonged to the Job Zone 4, had the DOL strictly adhered to Job Zone system as they interpreted, any applications for IT occupations that required more than a bachelor's degree plus two years of experience should have faced a business necessity challenge and denials in most of such applications. However, from March 28, 2005 until June 2007, the DOL de facto adhered to their previous practice under the DOT system and most of the EB-2 IT occupations such as Software Engineer, DBA, etc., which belonged to SVP 8 under DOT system, have been approved without much challenge.
The landscape changed beginning from July 2007 when they started focusing on the integrity of labor certification system. The agency started challenging such EB-2 requirement even for the SVP 8 IT occupations under DOT if it belonged to the Job Zone 4. The challenge took a form of "audit." Such EB-2 requirements have faced a massive challenge and audits. However, the former SVP 8 IT cases have been approved after the audits in a large number of cases. This practice is expected to change once the new form ETA 9089 PERM application program is launched next year since the new form will automatically consider such EB-2 requirement for IT occupations as the business necessity cases for exceeding the Job Zone 4 requirement. Initinally, DOL was scheduled to launch the new ETA 9089 form beginning from January 1, 2009, but luckily they pushed off the starting date to late Spring of 2009. That was a good news.
Bad news is a further change in O*Net Job Zone for IT manager occupations. They just changed the O*Net data into version 13.0 which down graded IT manager job zone from 5 to 4! The last vestige of Job Zone 5 in IT occupations has been cruelly crushed to death. Since EB-2 occupation must require either a master's degree or Bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience, now all the IT occupations exceed the Job Zone 4 allowed preparation time. We will have to wait and see how this change in Job Zone for IT manager occupation will be managed in actual adjudication of PERM applications hereon, but it is certainly not a positive news.
The recent downgrading of professional occupations from Job Zone 5 to Job 4 does not end with the IT occupations. There are a number of professional occupations that have been downgraded practically to nonprofessional occupations in some cases. Company General Manager is downgraded to Job Zone 3!! Employers who start PERM recruitment should review the attached Job Zone changes and seek legal advice. Believe me, there are a lot of surprises.
