Vayalar Ravi will know more about Indians in Gulf. He is form Kerala and his main focus is Indians in Gulf coutnries. While I dont mean say he is partial to them or any such thing, I think he will understan those issues better than ours.
No harm in trying. Not sure if we will get anything out of it.
It may be worthwhile to talk to an IAS officer accompnaying him rather than the minister himself.
I agree .. this should be tried. I do not know heard about this minister before,
my apologies but by title of Ministry he seems to be a appropriate to apprach

Nice of you abhijitp, I amd northwest part of country won't be able to make it , But I am telling my friends in Tri-State and VA to attend that
Not to single you out, but why aren't people from the West willing to attend the rally?
1. Too much workload (cannot afford to take even 1 day off)
2. Cannot afford flying into DC, accomodation, etc.
3. I didn't attend the SJ rally, what will they say if I attend the DC rally;)
4. DC Rally is a waste of time, I do not support it
5. I don't have to have a green card, I can live without it, for the next 10 years!
6. I am happy to eat the fruit of someone else's hardwork, I don't want to put in any hardwork myself
Answers:
1. Oh come on, how do you then keep browsing IV for so many hours?
2. We may be able to help you... go here:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12441
3. Don't worry, as soon as you attend the DC rally, you will have washed all your sins in the past:)
4. Thank you... but why are you even reading this?
5. Great... maybe you should ask your spouse and children too... how long do you want them to go through all that they go through... because of your temporary status
6. I envy you... for I cannot even imagine thinking like you! But please at least thank IV when you receive the fruit of its hardwork!

One possible reason is that Americans just don't want people smarter than them to come here and have the high paying jobs, create companies and have success on their own country.
It's OK to have a bunch of illegal immigrants to do the dirty work.
Let's think as a modern slavery. They want to be in command, to be the boss. It's their nature. And they just don't accept skilled immigrants coming here and taking the top positions from them. They want people who just take orders - from Americans.

tabletpc,
Look at tv25's post. He/She alreday used the H1B...tv25 mentioned that she/he worked on H1B for three months. That would have invalidated her h4 visa.
You are right. THis is one case where in USCICS are wrong. The visa officer at consualte should have canceld her H4, which he/she din't do and tv25 took advantage of it. Even at the POE, officer should should have got the info on his system. No idea why it din't happen.
But tv25, stop using this forum to get the solution and contact an attorney, like murthy ASAP.

we have been through this numerous times now on threads that can no longer be counted. may i request you not to create new threads for discussions that are already taking place in every conceivable corner of this forum?
i hope to see you in DC, your enthusiasm would be well directed in iv's efforts to end retrogression once and for all. just consider it...never having to worry about receipts again :-)
sounds good? let's do DC on 9/18!

Hi,
The question I have is : where to return my I-94 (expired and the extended one that came with I797) when I leave by LAND as there are no "US CBP agents/office" when we leave US by land. I went through US CBP website and find that there is a process to send I-94 after leaving the country to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY".
Unfortunately as I will be entering as a Canadian PR, there will not be any stamp in my passport to record my entry to Canada and hence won't be able to prove to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY" my date of departure from US. The reason I am worried is that I don't want to get in to any overstay issues if I need to come to US in future.
Thanks in advance.
When you handover your I-94 to the airline staff there is no recorded evidence of when you handed it over, there is no date stamp per se. Some airlines will not even take it out, esp. if you are travelling to Canada unless you ask them to. Also there is no gurantee that when airlines collect the I-94 it will indeed reach CBP at KY. As far as the entry stamp of the country you are visiting/moving that may not be clear enough to show that dates and some countries will not even stamp passport if you are a PR. Besides USCIS might or might accept it as an evidence of departure. US and Canada do not stamp the passport upon entry for Permanent residents.
The point of all this is, there is no certain way of showing that you have departed with-in the duration of stay. Sometimes USCIS takes boarding pass as the evidence. I think you should just take it easy, go to Canada and send the I-94 that is acctached to your H1-B on the same day with a post mark and make a copy of the receipt etc. That post mark from Canada is an evidence that you were actually in Canada mailing the damn I-94 on your first day of arrival. Other evidences could be the entry receipt of the Car that you will be taking to Canada (not sure about this though).

I think, if at all Minister is being planned to be met , it is better only few problems are presented to Minister.
PROBLEMS IN INDIA MAY DILUTE THE FOCUS. I think the following would be best to present ..
1) Retrogression.
2) Social Security Treaty.
Numbers justifying above data can do a lot good to explain the problem.
I think VISA retrogression problem can be addressed to the minister. That itself will give BIG relief to thousands of people from India.Make a special VISA Quota for India is another good option. Minister can suggest this option to the US Officials and Senators ! He is scheduled to meet some US senators in DC and NYC.
This is great opportunity for poeple living in Maryland and DC area. It is easy to go and meet him personally ! Think about it guys....

You are a citizen of one of the countries listed below, and the worker on whose record your benefits are based lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years or earned at least 40 credits under the U.S. Social Security system.
Thats the confusing part
This seems to indicate someone else will get benefit payments but not the worker himself / herself.

Guys pls stop taking useless info pass appointments. People like me who have not received EAD and may loose the job are not able to get infopass appointments because of all the people taking appt to know the 485 status. Pls understand......
We always get appointments with in less than 24 hrs in the local USCIS office(closest to Upstate New york). I don't think its a big deal here. I am not sure about other offices.
Again based on the urgency, one can always decide whether to take info pass or not. Appointment time frame is always same for everyone. Unless its urgent(relative to personal needs), one can always take an appointment with USCIS.

Employer has to show that he can support all the employees that have an 140 pending. It cannot be attributed to being sadistic alone.
However, having an official AC21 process would be good.
minimalist, thanks for sharing your views. As I said, I am a layman and do not know all the details. appreciate your input.
In this case, once an official request for AC21 is filed, CIS can release that particular employer from all liabilities for this 'AC21ed' 140. Since new employer is not required to show any financial statement (in case of EAD), this may be a good option.

Instead of asking for more bread, we are fighting ferociously for the scraps like dogs!
It was estimated by Compete America that if the last CIR had passed there would have been more than 500,000 visa numbers recaptured ( don't ask me for the math, I didn't come up with this number). Assuming that the Nurses took away a chunk of it, we still would have a big chunk to statify Eb3, Eb3, ROW, India, China etc. etc. And the nurses are going to walk away with a big chunk folks - whether we like it or not - because we are fighting each other like dogs for the scraps of the spillover, while they will come up well organized and walk away with the cake.
Our disunity, lack of long-term vision, lack of action is our biggest weakness. We will not win unless we fight this together.
Agreed but this should be from both the side.

I came back via Frankfurt last month. AP no prob. But be aware of Lufthansa. It was worst trip of my life. Bugger airline had cancelled flight from FRA to Mumbai without notifying. They gave me two options after I landed at FRA. 1. Wait at airport for 27 HOURS for next days flight (as they don't give Indians visa @ airport for hotel stay) or 2. Wait for another 6 hours at airport, then take flight from FRA to zurich, wait at zurich for 3 hrs, then zurich to Dubai, wait at dubai for 3 hrs and then dubai to Mumbai. Unwillingly I had to accept 2nd option.
Staff is damn rude, had to wait in long line for 3 hours to talk to cust service.
Never in my life will I travel with Lufthansa :mad: :mad: :mad:
That's terrible and it could happen to anybody and I can imagine how helpless we feel at that time. I have utter contempt for those airlines. Please send emails to as many as possible to the airline and highlight your plight. Whether they hear it or not, they should know at least how you were mistreated.

one GC for each family (3 or 4) members, instead of treating as multiple GC's.
say for a family of 4 uscis is treating it as 4 GC instead they can treat this as a single GC. which will make many people eligible for GC
yo man, that will be something! In your mouth, ghee-sugar - ancient indian saying!

This is the sort of thing that should make folks wake up and smell the coffee. Advocate for yourself or lose the dream. Those of you hoping to wait it out, whether it be 5 yrs or 10 yrs, let this be the warning shot. When times get tough, you see all sorts of crazy things crop up, whether intended by the gov't or through vigilante enforcement like in this case.
What makes EAD holders immune to these sorts of things? Nothing is certain in this environment.
Physicians recently faced a scare(last year) when the USCIS TSC unilaterally started deeming MBBS degrees undergraduate baccalaureate degrees and declining EB2 petitions for them in spite of nearly half a century of precedent to the contrary. This in spite of the ECFMG, ACGME, State Medical boards(vested with the task of determining qualification to practice) etc all recognizing such foreign degrees for Medical/Surgical Residency training and subsequent practice.
It was only after months of lobbying and various letters of support from medical organisations, and meetings with the USCIS by some prominent lawyers like Greg, that they relented.
If that can happen out of the blue to International physicians typically working in underserved areas. Then those of you who feel an EAD card makes you immune are living in a fantasy. Take a stand, organize better and advocate for yourself. There will likely be a narrow window later this year for us, there must be a better effort.
BTW. It took a friend of mine 7 months recently to get his EAD card. No explanation, no nothing. He did not push the issue because he was on a H1b visa, however those are the sort of things that can happen.

Thank you very much for all the advices. I wonder if I do need to take vacation around the early of year 2008 and come back approximately October, 08 due to my H1B expiration in April, 08. I wonder if I still need to be employed full time with my current employer during the whole period that I�ll not be in US. Do I need to get pay during that period? Would part time be enough in order to keep the green card process going? Also, do I need to file any applications with USCIS prior to taking vacation in order to let USCIS know that I�ll be taking vacation and I can use that vacation time outside US to extend my H1B until around October, 08. If I have to file, when should be the best time to file it and what form should I use? I plan to leave around the early of February, 08. Accordingly, I can come back around October, 08 and file the I-797 form for H1B extension if my I-140 is approved by then. Please advise and thank you very much.

My wife is applying H1B this April 1st against 2007 year general quota and via regular process (not Premium Processing).
Currently she is on H4 with valid I797 (expiry date end of Oct 2007) and expired visa on her passport (June 2006).
She plans to visit India this June and get H4 visa stamp on sometime June 2nd week. She will be returning sometime end of August.
Do you see any problem in visiting India and getting H4 visa stamp (based on the current I797 or I may get an extension by June) while H1B application is pending? What will happen to the H1B approval as it will have current I-94 number? Do we need to go again to India and get stamping after October 1st for H1B?
Or need to wait until August for H1B approval and get the H1B visa stamping instead of getting H4 stamping on June?
Please clarify. Thanks and appreciate your reply.

I would put this News letter in one of the 'Most Informative' ones. It clear doubts about maintaining H1B/EAD it talks about changing jobs on AC21. Intresting to see that 3 years EAD/AP thing as well as he mentions about the combined EAD/AP document. Attorney Ron Gotcher is also very proactive on his forums, you can ask specific questions, he usually answers it the same day..
