It's amazing the time and energy spent (wasted?) with Sen. Mike Delph illegal-worker bill. Would it be the same for an improved Legal Immigrants system? :rolleyes: I guess not because we are already paying taxes, but unfortunately for us we are stuck in this overkill and non-sense process. My LC (EB3) for instance is waiting to be certified by Chicago DOL since 08/06/07, it got audited in 12/05/07, DENIED on 12/21/07, appealed, and then moved back to "In Process" in 01/10/08. My wife and 3 kids are stuck with their H-4 status while I am an H1-B. Meanwhile, around $20K has been paid between immigration and legal/attorney's fees.
Isn't funny when lawmakers or lack of knowledge people says why you didn't just went Legal? :mad: Regardless the money required to invested in this process, there is so much to know to submit applications that only thru an attorney it's possible; and even having one of the "Best Ones" in your side is not a guarantee.
I'll need to say that I agree and support a fine to employers using illegal workers but this won't stop the immigration to this country; a re-design immigration system with reasonable time and fees as well as clear goals and incentives will definitely improve and solve immigration issues. :)

There is a sudden change of plan. My company wants me in US for two months - March 15 - May 15. Then i have to go back to India till Dec 09 and come back to join work from Jan 2010. My questions -
1. Will i be facing any questions at the immigration (point of entry) when i come back on Jan 2010?
2. Any other situation or scenario that i should be aware of?
3. If i receive pay check for just two months in 09, will there be a problem when i file taxes for 2009?
4. How long can i stay outside US on a H1b visa?
Thanks a lot.
This might be an Attorney question
1. H1B petition is filed on a premise that a person with your 'unique' skillset is not available in local market and so they are sponsoring you
2. If you are going to be away from your place of work for such a long time, its the responsibility of the company to prove that you are indeed really required here and your assignment in your home country is really needed to get the work you are doing here moving etc etc.
3. I guess for you to be able to claim as an H1B you should basically work x number of hours a week/month/year on H1 here. Not sure how your going to home country and working there would qualify here
4. Your company might need to run your payroll here. Now as far as physical presence in this country you need to speak to your HR/Attorney on what the requirements are ( for other cases it is 181 days of continuous stay). Check with them what it needs to be for an H1.
On the whole this is a purely a LEGAL question and I am not sure if any of the advise you get here is guaranteed to work or be legal.
- cheers

Sorry to hear about marital discord. Do talk to your attorney and see what steps needed to be taken further.
My advice, first concentrate on your family. Do try to resolve the issues with your wife. Do give preference to your daughter. Green Cards / Work permits can be obtained later also. Don't worry too much about the GC.

Thanks everyone for the feedbacks. My EB2 I40 has not been approved, as it was filed only a month back.
From your responses it seems like sticking with EB-3 is better right?
When I checked with my lawyer (current company) they mentioned that, along with EB-2 I40 application, they have put a request to adjudicate the pending AOS based on the earliest priority date (EB2). They are also planning to do the same after, EB2 I-140 gets approved. I didn't expect them to do this along with I-140 filing. Had they waited till I-140 approval, they could have made a better decision to stick with EB3 or put a request to adjudicate AOS based on EB2 depending upon the state of the priority dates at that time :(
I am planning to check with the lawyer, if they can withdraw the EB2 I-140.

Yes I am still waiting. No luds other than the ones for supporting documents.
Same here.
I applied on May 18th and my EAD expires on Aug 10th. There were three SLUDs in a row two weeks after I applied, and there is no update after that.
Did you notice any LUDs in your case? Are you still waiting for a decision? Please update.

True. Best possible window of action may be immediately after a Democratic victory in 08. Probably will take another Clinton to undo what the first Clinton wrought with 245(i).
2 consecutive victories may make Demoractic party more confident and may be more willing to pass some GC reform. As of now with so much in
stake and getting power after more than 10 years they are more cautious.
Example: Nancy wants to take up the Bush immigration agenda only if he manages 70 GOP votes as they dont want to be branded as amnesty party
in 2008. As of now things are going in their war because of the mess in iraq
resulting is massive independent voters more inclined towards DNC.
DNC had good chance to take over WH, Senate , Congress. If the DNC primaries elect a decent guy like John Edwards ( H Clinton and Obama
wont make it at national level )

That's a great picture Gary!
The price you pay, indeed... my best pictures have come from returning several times to the same spot where I've seen birds before, and spending hours waiting each time. You have to like just being out in nature to do it this way. I can recommend warm clothes and a thermos with something warm to drink. :)

I received renewed EAD cards a week ago. I had applied a couple of months ago. I noticed that the renewed EAD card also says 'Fingerprint not available'. My fingerprinting was done in March 08.
Is this expected? Does anyones EAD card have a fingerprint on it?

Whether the IO at Port of Entry asked anything about your H1B Visa Stamp?
My H1B visa stamping application finally got approved after 2 months at the Mumbai consulate. But I travelled back on the AP a month back as my employer started getting impatient.
I have received an email from them asking to submit the passport for stamping as the administrative processing on the application is completed.
I am planning to write back to them that I no longer need a visa stamp for travel as I travelled back on the AP. Would this be a bad idea ?
Has anyone withdrawn their H1B visa stamping application before ?
Appreciate any information on this.

Lately, USCIS has started looking into H1B transfers more carefully and giving applicants tough time approving it with all kinds of RFE, read through the forum for others experience, keep that in mind before making your move...I am not trying to scare you though, its just a pointer to whats going on currently.

There is no IT Project Manager role in flcdatacenter. There is no harm if your role says Project Manager but the wage data is based on CIS Manager (I have gone through that path). What does the Attorney say ?

Also, a rise in interest rate if followed by a subsequent decrease in the LIBOR will increase that chance. Provided the Thai Baht remains stable, and another Earthquake does not strike Taiwan.
:)
The premise is that a recession will lower demand for worldwide numbers which will then flow to retrogressed categories due to the AC21 rule.

Thanks so much for your insights. If I migrate south bound again, I will probably not return to my current company as I am fed up being the designated work horse.
I have permanent residencies in 4 countries including Canada and I am getting tired being victimized by the immigration system. Unless there is a systematic fix up or my PD becomes current, I plan to continue exploring opportunities else where.
For ladies and gents who are already seeing the light at the end of their tunnels, I wish you the very best.
cheers,
