Thanks kanshul for ur reply. What is your suggestion for me.
Should I stick onto my current employer.
Do you have any clue when will be the date current for me.Any chance in this year?
My clients have made my life hell forcing me to join in the company as permanent.

HI,
My company filed my Perm on Jun 4th 08 but it is not yet approved. My H1B is in its 6th year and will end in July 09. I was wondering if I would get an extension , even if my Perm gets denied for some reason.
I just want to prepare for the worst case. Can any one please help with some information.
What are my options to get a H1B extension.
Thank you,

VB will come today.
I am going to ask my lawyer why it is late. It is is generally on Fridays in the first week on the month.
We should hope for a good VB as it is delayed. If it was copy paste, it would have come out sooner.
What do you say?

So USCIS will never see the flowers becoz they are boxed.. and they will never get delivered becoz they are being routed from the airport itself. No major news media covered the few deliveries at USCIS.. What was the point of the campaign again?
For those of you who is interested in one line Q/A
"Is the flower campaign working? Yes"
"Are we good enough with what we have done? Not 100%"
What happened
We were at the loading dock by 10 30 am ( Delivery estimate was between 11 am and 1 pm) and DHL appeared to
have already delivered around 50 boxes once around 9 am. All the flowers we sent are boxed . The visuals will
be boxes and not flowers in the evening when the youtube video will be uploaded. UPS delivered nex. We got the
video of the whole delivery and so did the CNN-IBN/Voice of America folks. There were around 30 boxes or so from
UPS. Next Fedex delivered and there were around 10-15 boxes coming out. While we were doing the recording one of the
officers politely told us not to capture federal buildings and we told them that we were only capturing the delivery of
flowers. After this what ever truck was coming in, they were reversing and pushing back into the dock so that the
delivery cannot be taped. CNN-IBN reporter asked for permission to go inside the loading dock and she was promptly
denied any permission. Then We had a down pour for almost 20-30 minutes and we had to leave the place.
It appears that the S&H dept now knows that most of the flowers are being delivered by DHL/UPS/FEDEX, they are taking
care of the diversion at National airport it self.
In the future if any one wants to do a flower campaign, Please select 2 local florists
(only two florists, in that particular city) and have people call and place orders/online. That way
we can talk with 2 florists and track their delivery easily for picture/video. Every one who tried to call
FTD/proflowers had alot of trouble getting any thing out of them. Actually, we cant blame them because they
are not doing it locally,instead they are putting their orders via national carriers.
Where do we go from here
If people really want to go out and get the main stream media attention, DC is the perfect choice. How ever,Don't plan on a weekend. If we do it right, we could be live on TV and the whole country will ask whats going on, along with the law makers. That will offer a platform for solving the issue at its roots.If you really want to do this, Dont come up with reasons like I dont have time off for a day or I have a project due. I can understand if 1 or 2% of our active members say it, but when 98% of our active members say that I can understand what it is. May be its time we figure out whether we prefer anonymity and pontifical verbatim on the online forum to expressing our concern/disappointment openly. Do not get offended and start flaming me. Just my thoughts.

Now they want to visit client place for the H1b people.
There are only 415,000 H1-b holders in USA.
And number of employed labor in USA are 144 million. (as per DOL)
And we form 0.28% of the workforce in the entire USA.
Why the hell they are whining about 0.28% ??
Can anybody tell me if i am wrong with numbers here?

05/07/2009: DHS Reportedly Stepping Up Enforcement of the H-1B Program Including Work Site Visits
Report indicates that DHS Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday that her agency was stepping up its enforcement of the H-1B program. She reportedly said that over the last month the department has added fraud prevention tactics that were not being used previously in the H-1B program. Those measures include visits to work sites.
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
Statistics of H-1B Visa Holders in the U.S. and Reach of H-1B Cap in Recent Years
Total H1-B Visa Holders in the U.S. in Recent Fiscal Years
2008: 409,619
2007: 461,730
2006: 431,853
2005: 407,418
2004: 386,821
Reach of H-1B Cap in Recent Fiscal Years
2010: Still Open, and Going and Going, as of 04/11/2009! May be it will record the statistics between 2007 and 2008.
2009: 1 day
2008: 2 days
2007: 56 days
2006: 132 days
2005: 184 days
2004: 323 days
The total H-1B holders steadily increased until 2008 when it dropped substantially. Probably it was affected by FY 2007 July Visa Bulletin fiaso which opened the flood gate for EB-485 filings with no visa number cut-off date in July 2007, accompanied by massive issuance of EAD allowing some of the H-1Bs in this stream to drop out ofH-1B status and use EAD, most of which were issued beginning from November 2007. There being no such event in 2009, presumedly the total numbe of H-1B holders in 2009 might have increased. Considering the fact that every year a same new number of H-1B holders are added to the total pool, a large number of H-1Bs have kept extending their H-1B status on and on. Additionally, the fact that overall the total H-1B holder numbers remained steady may indicate that more or less of from 85,000 to 100,000 numbers of H-1B are added to the pool and about the same number moved out of the pool, mostly into green card holder pool, adding flesh blood ofvaluable workers to the main stream of this country. It Ain't Interesting?

In Get In The Line? What Line? The Tragic Tale of Employment Based Immigrant Visa Delays (http://ailaleadership.blogspot.com/2009/10/get-in-line-what-line-tragic-tale-of.html), I stated that:
This delay in legal, employment based immigration is a crisis for America. If you are an intending immigrant, and your immigration option is employment based, do you have the patience the wait 15 years for your green card? Can you do better in Australia, Canada, or even back home in our home country? What is the cost to our future competitiveness of a broken legal immigration system? What is the cost to U.S. innovation? The Department of State just released its annual numbers for cases received by the National Visa Center, awaiting issuance of an immigrant visa at a consulate. The report says this:
The following figures have been compiled from the NVC report submitted to the Department on November 3, 2009, and show the number of immigrant visa applicants on the waiting list in the various preferences and subcategories subject to numerical limit. All figures reflect persons registered under each respective numerical limitation, i.e., the totals represent not only principal applicants or petition beneficiaries, but their spouses and children entitled to derivative status under INA 203(d) as well. Okay, the bottom line numbers? Bad, very bad. The total Family Numbers waiting for a priority date: 3,369,455, including 1,727,897 in the Brother and Sister (FB-4) category. At the 65,000 annual number level for that category, that is a 26.5 year wait (ignoring per country limits). The total Employment Numbers awaiting a priority date: 130,509, including 119,759 in the EB-3 category. This is at least a 3-4 year wait (again, ignoring per country limits). So, 3.5 million people waiting in line, or is it? The reality is worse. These do NOT include the those cases pending at USCIS!
If we ad in the numbers pending at USCIS (as best we know them), the situation is far more grave. Family based petitions pending at USCIS in June 2009 (no new numbers are easily available), were 1.1 million, bring the total backlog to 4,400,000 for family cases. Employment based cases pending at USCIS in June 2009 numbered 80,000. This bring the total up to 210,000 for EB-3 cases. Wow!
It gets worse though when you realize this simple fact. The numbers from the National Visa Center do not include cases for folks NOT consular processing. Frankly, and just just like in October when I first wrote about this, we do not really know exactly how many cases are pending immigrant visa availability. What we do know is that the legal immigration system is broken.
When we hear politicians and uninformed folks yelling about illegal immigration and telling folks to wait in line like everyone else, the answer is, What Line?
These numbers once again poignantly express the dilemma that legal immigrants have. Many feel, justifiably, that any immigration reform must FIRST focus on legal immigration reform, cutting down wait times to reasonable periods, BEFORE anyone who entered into or remained in the U.S. without permission is given ANY legal benefits. The answers are simple here, the question is, are there any politicians with enough courage to vote for real legal immigration reform?https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186823568153827945-373880418577926333?l=ailaleadership.blogspot.com

First round of interviews went well - now have to send my details to their HR to make sure EB2 porting will work.
However, does filing AC21 (same or similar) cause a conflict with EB2 filing in this case? Should they file and get I-140 approved and then only I should join them?
1. Make sure that your new company's HR and lawyer are comfortable in supporting the fact that new job is same or similar to old job. It is a grey area and you can be the best judge on it.
2. When you join the new employer ask their attorney to send AC-21 letter to USCIS indicating that you have moved to a same or similar job based on AC-21 porting.
3. Filing for H1 or EAD is a personal choice - as far as GC processing goes I don't see a difference in using either.
4. If they are willing and and the position qualifies you to file EB-2 and port PD- sure go ahead.

Not sure about the Mexico consulate, but you will most probably face problems if you go to Chennai consulate.In case if you decided to take chance and go to Mexico, make sure that you have valid F1 visa to come back to USA. Otherwise you have to stay in Mexico :-)
If I am in your position, i will not this type of chances.

Hi All,
I just wanted to share my RFE regarding the "Experience Lettters"
I got an RFE on 1/23/2008 "Evidence of experience must be in the form of letter(s) from current or former employer(s) giving the name, address, and title of the employer and a description of the experience of the alien, including specific dates of the employment and specific duties."
The desi company that I worked for in US doesn't exist anymore. I got a affidavit from one of my ex-colleagues who is currently working for a company in INDIA.
And it worked for me. My attorney sent the documents to USCIS @ NSC on 3/3 and we got an Approval Notice on 3/7.

Dude! Just go with confidence and you'll be fine. Have all the documents with you. Have your pay-stubs handy with you.
I attended visa interview at Mumbai consulate during last week of Aug. 2010. I was asked questions on my client, my job responsibilities and was asked how does my H1B holding company supervises my work at client site.
I was also asked to show my last 3 pay-stubs. Good luck!
Thanks!
Hello All,
I heard from my employer that many people who are visiting India for H1B Stamping are getting stuck with 221G query. My company lawyers have suggested us to cancel or postpone all the travel plans to India.
Did any of you have any recent stamping experience at Mumbai Consulate? I would appreciate if you can share it on this forum.
Thanks,
GreenMe

There was no provision for validating visas in the US, at least not in our Brownback amendment. I am not aware of that being a rider on any other amendment -- but I wouldnt' rule it out
We will have to do a post-final-bill-with-amendments analysis.
Please hold on till that becomes available.
Thanks,

It was in Cornyn ammendment.

Does she have EAD? If not on H1, she needs to be in EAD. (or other status like F1 etc). Otherwise she is out of status. In that case, H1 will be denied because an H1 application while out of status will lead to denial.
There is no mention from the original poster that she was out of status at any time. Also, one need not have an EAD, just to be in status. Your GC (i-485) is for future job, so, technically you can just sit at home...till you get the GC. But you must have a permanent offer letter from the GC sponsored company.

Guys,
I have a question about interfiling. My signature explains my green card situation. My EB3 I-140 with a PD of 9/2001 is still not approved.
Is it true that USCIS never responds to interfiling requests ? As per my attorney, they accept the interfiling letter and process it or they don't. My attorney is pretty darn good and honestly have no complaints till now but this particular information is kind of bothering me and just want to be sure.
Would appreciate if anyone could help me clear this up.
Thanks!

Actually being a Defence employee is a positive. You can show proof of stronger connection to home country because of following.
1) Pension that is available every month for life.
2) Free treatment at Army Hospitals.
3) Subsidised cost at Military Canteen facilities for provisions etc.

DISCLAIMER:
I'm not a lawyer. Disclaimer mentioned by IV and its members holds good for me too. The information provided below is of a general nature and may not apply to any particular set of facts or to all circumstances and not be construed as legal advice. You should not rely solely upon information here and You should consult an attorney of your choosing to obtain advice for your particular situation. Laws and regulations are constantly changing.
Please read and discuss this issue and see whether we can include as our goals:
I know the existing IV goals should be our top priority and we shouldnt lose our focus but we should work simultaneously to get other reliefs to make our life better. Eventhough retrogression is main issue as of now, people are affected by visa revalidation issues (visa stamping), name check issues, etc. So I collected all the major issues I read and mentioned below to discuss with you all.
These broader goals will save us lot of time/money that we spent on renewals of visa/postage etc. and inturn attracts more membership registration/contribution/publicity/broader support from all groups/nationals/associations/attroneys etc to IV group. So please read this and see whether how much feasible it is (or) suggest some possible solutions to IV who can request our lawmakers to solve or ease our problems.
Goals to request USCIS/Lawmakers to get relief for the following problems:
1. Can we request to allow filing of our I-485 even if the priority dates are nt current and can avail EAD/AP benefits? Can we request to give us 3 years EAD/AP if I-485 is pending or filed recently (average renewal cost is 350$ PER PERSON FOR A YEAR for EAD+AP, so add for each dependent-that too now people are doing 4th time extension because of retrogression even if they didnt use EAD/AP or not)? Also can we request them to implement immediate relief package to ease retrogression problems and then to solve this issue permanently? (Note: I know IV working on this one issue)
2. Can we request, for EAD/AP/H1, dependents applications should be approved simultaneously along with principal applicants even though they are filed separately? (May be they can bring one application form for principal+dependents).
3. Can we request them to bring e-filing for all forms before Oct 2007 (including visa, gc forms) and we can submit scanned supporting documents using attachments to reduce paperwork and to avoid postage problems (lost/delay)? (But e-filing should automatically generate immediate Notice Numbers/Notice Date/Received Date once we submit--this is to avoid waiting for receipt numbers).
4. Can we request them to fix the maximum approval times for visas and for EAD/AP/Labor/I-140, say 3 mths maximum for first time applicants, a month for renewals or extensions, and (within) 15 days for premium processing?
5. Can we request them to implement revalidation again in US, may be to do fingerprint for revalidation, may be we can goto nearest USCIS local office in our city/state with reqd documents/Passport (same as for GC process) and they can take fingerprint and after verification they can send passport with visa stamping?
6. Can we request them that emergency appointment dates should be immediate not 6 months later and should be applicable for any major life event including marriage too (not only for death or medical reasons, this might help people nt to postpone their marriage based on visa availability dates)?
7. Can we request them to bring dropbox again (if revalidation done outside US) for visa extensions in same category or for dependents or for parents (older than 60yrs) (also fingerprinting can be done while dropping the documents)? (for newer case like H1/F1 they can have interview)
8. Can we request them for a new premium revalidation processing option at extra charge (because emergency appointment is not available for work related emergencies even though it is mentioned)?
9. Can we request them that Name check/Finger Printing Check should be verified and cleared within 90 days (maximum) for GC? for visa revalidation (not for new): we can request them to be verified and cleared within 1-3 days maximum because they can do the actual check during visa processing itself i.e. while approving I-797 or whatever?
10. Can we request them to bring a new premium processing for name/fingerprinting check up for extra fee? Also request to view fingerprinting status and history online? Can we request them to consider whether people can get security clearance certificate in advance for Visa/GC (to reduce processing time)?
11. Can we request them to allow dependents (spouse, children) of principal applicants to get SSN/driving license, also request to allow dependents to work except restricted areas (for job in some areas requires citizenship or GC) and also request to allow dependents to get financial aid/assistance too while studying?
12. can we request them to improve USCIS customer support (including FBI for fingerprinting) OR to provide 24x7 Customer support (to avoid waiting on hold for 1hr during peak hrs).
13. not sure, how it is now, can we request that H4 visa period shouldnt be counted against H1 visa period?
14. can we request them to allow our parents (who wants to visit in tourist visa) shouldnt be rejected if all documents provided? also request them to give mandatory 10yrs multiple entry visas should be given to both, if atleast one of the parents is older than 60yrs?
15. can we request premium processing should be less than 1000$ either it should be double or triple times the regular fee (for e.g. it shouldnt be 1000$ if regular application fee is 175$, can be 350$ or 500$ which is reasonable)
17. Can we request them to allow anyone to transfer from one visa to another visa category within US?
18. Backlog Elimination Funding: Can we request lawmakers to increase atleast 2-5% funding of previous budget of USCIS to upgrade technology, hire more manpower, customer service, training employees, userfriendly website inorder to eliminate backlog and to expeditate processing time for existing applications?
Please discuss these things and make reasonable things as our future goals even if nt top priority. Thanks!!!!
