Does this amendment strictly apply to new H1B filings or will it also impact people with H1B and an approved I-140 but need to extend it due to retrogression?
Regarding the exodus, maybe that is their purpose. Maybe, they have enough
hi-tech workers and they don't need more. I guess we need to watch and wait and accept this as a reality.

I believe it was last year(not sure exactly) when USCIS started this new initiative where the AILA members can send an email and "Remind" them that a particular case is current. Basically you will send an email with the subject
EB I-485/SEPT or EB I-485/OCT or EB I-485/DEC (Month of the VB when you will be current)
and the body will have just the A #s
A123456789, A987654321
Note if you have multiple A#s (self, spouse etc) seperate it by comma.
send it to
streamline.tsc@dhs.gov OR streamline.nsc@dhs.gov
You will get an automated reply with in minutes
I not sure whether this works...but hey who cares all that you are doing is sending an email.
OR the lawyer has to send this email...very trivial question but I did not get that from your post. Thanks for sending this along...I dont know if many of us knew. Thanks again.

I had a quick question to ask. My, current H-1 visa is expiring on July 30, 2008. Also, my current I-94 and I-797 is expirin on the same date. I am eleigible to apply for extension 6 months in advance, starting Jan. 30, 2008. However, my question is if I apply for my H-1 visa extension now (say Feb. 28, 2008) and the extension comes by April 30, 2008; will that invalidate my H-1 visa stamped till July 30, 2008.
Please refer me to any official memos if available. Thanks in advance.
This is a wrong thread for asking this question. This thread is for discussing issues of using AP on future H1B transfer or extensions.
However, as per my knowledge, your stamped visa till last date still remains valid. Pls check with your attorney.

Long as you are married before your 485 is approved you should be ok. What is your PD and category?
One hint they give you is when they send the fingerprinting (FP) notice. You can't be approved without that. And after FP it takes any where from 3 - 6 months.
My PD is OCT 2006 and category EB2
Thanks

gctest is a perfect jackass, think he is also a complete fraud.
If you look at his posts, initially he said despite holding a doctorate and being around since 1996, he is EB2. So far so good.
Then he says his dependents got approved on his EB2, while his case is rotting (????:D)
The story changes dramatically after you point out if he is the real cream of the crop, he should have been easily qualified for EB1.
The latest, breaking news is that he's from a top-notch research univ and has approved 140 in EB1 but still he's gonna fight for what's fair and against what's unfair (:D:D:D:D:D)
Everything is made up, because the story changes all the time, when you attack him. I think the truth of the matter is he's EB2 and he's lying about EB1.
His case never ever qualified for EB1 (publishing some academic trash doesn't qualify you for anything, see my earlier post on this thread regarding this), so he's completely sore and has lost his mind.

H1baspirant, you should be fine..my brother was F1-OPT-H1. His interview was in ND and kept his pp. he got his pp back with stamp withiin 9 calendar days..i think you PIMS should be done. In mumbai they are asking candidates to drop pp and etc once PIMS is verified. So maybe your case is same..
i was interviewed on on Jan 14th..so far its 21st calendar day..they have my pp and i am just waiting each day..mine is H1B renewal.

My wait time is as long as yours, so I am not thinking about getting ready for citizenship just yet (lot can happen in 5 years). If the USCIS processing times are to be believed, they are supposed to take between 12 and 15 months to decide on a currently filed application (the server seems to be down now, so couldn't verify the latest status). There may be additional time differences depending on where you are located. And knowing how USCIS operates, backlogs are not unheard of (http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/images/File/factcheck/CitizenshipDayFactSheet09-16-08.pdf).
Here is a comforting thought - and someone correct me if I am wrong - but unlike the hectic GC process with all the "inequalities" among various EB categories, naturalization process is a level-playing field where your specific skills do not matter. Everyone is considered equal here, whether you have got your GC via EB, FB or even amnesty route. This makes sense too, considering that your value (to this country) as a citizen rests primarily in your voting right, and someone who can cook is just as good to vote as another who writes smart computer codes (no knock on the cook, my wife is a fantastic cook herself). This is why the "priority date" for your citizenship application is set at 5 years (of continuous residency) from the date printed on your PR card, irrespective of your GC category (the wait is 3 years for those with USC spouse). The only condition that permits some arbitrariness in the evaluation process is in establishing a "good moral character", which makes point #6 in my original list important.
This is of 01/09. It takes about 6 months after N-400 is filed and you can apply after 4 years and 9 months.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/M-476.pdf
Yes, there will be backlogs but most likely there won't be long waiting lines. It really depends on the number of people filing. There won't be another July 2007.

You raise a very valid point.It is not as if these consulting companies are subsidised by the US govt to provide welfare to poorly qualified aliens - these companies are surviving and thriving in a free economy.This tells me that either (a) these consulting companies do a good job for their customers, despite the "cooks", "maids" and "servants" posing as software engineers or (b) There is a large enough demand for these skills that the clients cannot find enough qualified locals to hire on a full-time basis; hence go in for these "body shops".
Now, the unfair practises that these consulting companies indulge in are legendary - I am not here to defend them. All I am saying is there is an economic vacuum somewhere that is being filled by these body shops - something that Dobbs-ian minded folks will not acknowledge. Ands lets face it, a lot of our spouses on H4 would not have been able to work if not for these desi companies willing to sponsor an H1. Now whose fault is it that in 21st century america there are laws that condemn these people to staying indoors ?
It is obvious that the article is overblown and made to sound like all immigrants are surviving on the munficence of the american welfare state -typical anti-immigrant stump speech. Whatever their pros and cons of these desi companies, lets leave the drum-beating to these anti-immigrants. Because their solution - stopping all immigration - does not work for us, to say the least.
There is one more thing that not many people are aware of.
Let me ask eveybody. Even after all this, why are these Desi consulting companys successful in the market? They have poor quality product (People with forged Resume), they are not charging lower rates, but still they are able to put there people in Projects?

I don't get this. Who is sponsoring this person's GC? He must have a sponsor to get the EB-based GC. He can't show his job skills as cooking !!:)
A desi consulting company brought him to the US. When they realized he wasn't going to get a project, they just didn't let go of him. Since he was a reliable guy (1. he can be trusted with monthly grocery payment 2. his labor can be sold later to others 3. he servres as an insider who can get information if other consultants are trying to be sneaky by getting their resumes marketed by another company, etc etc, basically he is an asset even thought he doesn't have a project), they just decided to keep him there. These companies don't have attorneys. They take care of all legal matters themselves. Now, how much is hte USCIS fee to file for labor? How much to file for I-140? Peanuts right? So they continue to keep his application active. How hard do you think it is to get fake references when you can make fake resumes. They have fake pay stubs. Fake experience. Fake this and fake that. Everything they do is fake.
So to others who have said that this thread has to be dropped, and have said that these desi companies are right in doing what they're doing, or who have blamed the system - I think that you are one of those people who are involved in such a racket. I know that I have touched your nerves by letting the whole world about this (not that some people didn't know this already). Why else would you want this thread dropped?

Another question for the group related to porting from EB3 to EB2 -
I-485 for the EB-3 application was filed for both the primary applicant and the dependent spouse. Now the primary applicant and spouse are separated.
Once the new EB2 Perm application is filed and is followed by the premium I-140 petition that should get approved - and since no I-485 application is required this time around - would both the primary applicant and spouse get the GC based on the original I-485 pending application?
Since the primary applicant and spouse are now separated - how does one get the spouse's I-485 application cancelled since the spouse has moved out of the country.
Any insight would be very appreciated. Thanks!
If I-485 is already pending with old EB-3 india I-140, then no need to apply new I485.
IF I485 was not field for some reason due to delays in backlog processing or PERM audits, then one needs to apply for new I485 alongwith new approved I-140.

On March 30 I had a soft LUD on my 485 and then on Apr9 my attorney recd an RFE.in my case the RFE went only to the attorney.
Hi all,
Due to system glitches, cud a soft LUD mean that it cud still have triggered an RFE to the attorney?
Also, when therez an RFE will the mail just go to the attny or to the applicant as well (if the applicant has signed G-28)?
Bottomline, is it a good idea to check with the attny if there were any RFEs?
Pls lemme know...
Thanx,
Buddy
