To present our case, we need facts. Like for example
-Drop in admissions/applications/exams for US universities
http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/senate/news/source/intnl.grads.pdf cites "constraints on visas and immigration" are among the reasons for the decline
http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20060106/a_students06.art.htm says "Rising U.S. tuitions, increased tension between much of the world and the United States and post-9/11-related immigration issues have all fed a decline in foreign student enrollment. So, too, has heightened competition from the rest of the developed world"
http://www.aascu.org/policy_matters/pdf/v2n11.pdf also supports that on page 3
-Number of people on H1-B buying homes
http://www.census.gov/prod/3/98pubs/cenbr974.pdf
-Evidence showing H1-Bs earn similar salaries/hourly rates, as rest of the industry
http://judiciary.senate.gov/testimony.cfm?id=913&wit_id=475
It is hard to determine the impact of H-1B workers on comparable U.S. workers. The only comprehensive effort to date, conducted in 2000 by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded that the magnitude of any effect the H-1B program has on wages is difficult to estimate with confidence. The report noted that the effect, if any, may not be to depress wages and employment opportunities for U.S. workers but rather to keep wages from rising as rapidly as they would if the program did not exist. Another study in 2001 similarly concluded that if the H-1B program has any effect on comparable U.S. workers, the effect must be subtle because it does not appear immediately in the data.
-Age Pattern of the Science and Engineering Labor Force
http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/seind04/c3/c3s3.htm#c3s3l1a Absent changes in degree production, retirement patterns, or immigration, the number of S&E-trained workers in the labor force will continue to grow for some time, but the growth rate may slow significantly as a dramatically greater proportion of the S&E labor force reaches traditional retirement age. As the growth rate slows, the average age of the S&E labor force will increase.
And later "Taken together, these factors suggest a slower-growing and older S&E labor force. Both trends would be accentuated if either new degree production were to drop or immigration to slow, both concerns raised by a recent report of the Committee on Education and Human Resources Task Force on National Workforce "
I am also trying to gather information about the points given below
- Number of H1-Bs becoming US citizens (when given a chance)
_________
- A $$ amount of value addition of H1-Bs to the US economy
_________
- Number of children that are US citizens from H1-B families.
_________
Any help in pointing to any articles etc that you may have come across is good. Please keep in mind that these studies should have stats in them and should be recent material
Thanks

I would not worry about it at this point, this seems to be an internal matter, cases are often transferred to other service centers for speedy processing, sometimes it could be an error also, whatever this might be, this is not something you have control over. If the I-140 becomes overdue you should have your employer call or write to the service center.

If you are running out of time to save Candian PR under 3 years out of country stay rule, then only we have to think this canda stay.
If you can stay here and still save candian PR for this 1.5 years, just get into the system and try out here in US. That is the best bet rather than not trying at all.
Who knows you may get Labor/I140 in this 1.5 years and may get everything well.
DOL procedures - We really do not know how serious that **Supervised Recruit** is, unless it is experienced by people.
If you loose candian PR in 6 months or so, unless you land there, then we have to think about it.
Now please give me green, as i do not have many; ;)

Trust me.. Unless CIR passes or fails nothing is going to change. These introductions are base less. Its like just a thought. Even all of 500k professionals who might be stuck at various stages of GC process unite and call to pass it . It will not pass. Period.
Hispanic caucus will not allow any piecemeal approach for immigration. They are holding EB reform for illegals. So lets hope that CIR gets introduce and pass with our relief. If CIR passes then it will have recapture. If it fails then we can try for recapture or any of these without worry for hispanic caucus. So I dont think so IV or even any organization like IV can do anything for next 6 months where CIR may get a chance. All we can do is call congress man and ask for support when CIR discussion comes on floor.
We may achieve some admin fixes if current administration really wants to help us.
I completely agree with what gc_on_demand said. The recent immigration provisions that zuhail is referring to is merely an extension of the sunsetting EB4 and EB5 programs. They HAD to renew it since otherwise the applications in process would be in limbo.
Unless CIR is introduced, no other EB relief is going to happen on the legislative side. If CIR passes, we will have increased visas to clear the backlog - since without first clearing the "legal" backlog, they wouldn't dare issue a single GC to illegals. If not, then recapture stands a definite chance since the Hispanic lobby would then be more open to a "piecemeal" approach. My 2 cents.

My son is a US citizen/passport holder and we are planning on applying for a PIO for him at the SFO consulate. I have the following questions on how he could use the PIO card
1. How can he use the PIO card to enter and exit India?
a. Does he simply show the PIO card, US passport to enter and exit India?
2. Incase if the PIO card processing takes a lot of time I know that he can apply for visa. I was wondering anyone has experience on how visa could be applied if PIO processing takes a long time at the SFO consulate.
a. Do they return the PIO application and its supporting documents before visa could be applied?
b. Should a new visa application+visa supporting documents need to be resent for getting a Indian visa?

Hi All,
I was sponsored by Company A. Also they are sponsoring my GC. I have a pending i-485 since my PD is Nov2006.
Company B has bought Company A. What should I do now?
1) Do I have to ask them to file a fresh H1?
2) how would the GC process be transfered to the new company that took over?
I asked the greedy owner of company A (my so called sponsorer, but as usual I paid for all the expenses), he said there is no problem with regards to my immigration status.
Can someone shed some light on this scenario?
Thanks,
RC:o
No need of new H1 if company 'B's' HR has agreed to continue with 'A''s employees.
1. Get a EVL letter from company 'B'. (This is assuming name of 'A' will change to 'B' or new name.
2. You need to get a "Letter of Acquirement" from HR of new company (I am assuming that the name of the company is changing as well). If name does not change then you should be fine. If you have to travel out of US, you need to carry latest copy of EVL(of new company) and "Letter of Acquirement" along with you. (I went thru these few years back, PwCC bought over by IBM, immediately after the takeover I travelled out of US and came back without any problems(on H1)) this was quite a while back though, you may want to check with your company attorney though.
Note:
"Letter of Acquirement� would state that your 'A' company was bought over by 'B' company on Date and name has now changed to 'B'.
Good luck.

Thats it. This post is the final nail in the coffin :). These soft LUDs mean nothing. Confirmed!!! Thanx for sharing this info and n'joy ur green.
Been saying that since morning, the whole purpose of this thread was so others dont get the sudden adrenaline rush on seeing the LUD.
It took the whole day,and people still dont get it, and I get a red spot from someone claiming this is an unnecessary thread!!.
Heck, we are all waiting for the 485 processing to happen,without any visibility,so, any info, we get , we lap it up.
But, again ,like I said in the morning, this thread needs to be closed for replies and open just so, others can know that the sunday LUD was meaningless in the context of PD being current

Yeah, I would have liked to apply a year ago but at that time my employer and I had a different arragnment. Anyway, Hellomms, you are talking about me getting H1B extended but to do all that I have to submit my PERM application first and I really think it will be difficult to even get through the recruitment process at this time. DOL is already talking about watching more carefully and many EB2 cases get audited regardless. Anyway, givien the details I gave in my first post, what would you guys advise, go to Canada and reset the H1B clock or try to force PERM now?
Please advise! Thanks!

They advertise in the company's message board and recently I have seen they did not mention anything about qualifications for one EB2 GC of my friend.
Hence I got a doubt.
Again,
Is it a must that education like MS or equivalent experience is needed for EB2. Please let me know.
Yes you need Masters or Bachlor + 5 years progressive experience.

I would agree.
it is not advisable to leave US while your extension is being processed. I would suggest waiting for it to get approved and then schedulingan appointment (in India) or in canada before leaving for india and get the new visa stamped.

Since lot of baby boomers are set to retire, any thing can happen.
Someday they (means all of the anti - immgt minds, lou doggs, ron hiras etc) have to admit the reality that this country needs skilled workers and justice is delayed for employment based immgiration
I know the fact for some years that there are so many IT consulting jobs begging to be filled, but never. Because there is a restriction that only citizens are allowed to apply for those. Where i live in US, i see boeing and Northrup Grummen ads for years, same repeating and begging for "citizens" to apply but never gets applicants.
I bet they won't let a VB programmer in!!!

Hi,
I'm looking for some answers for my wife's visa issues. I'm on H1B (valid until 2010) and she is on OPT (Valid until Dec 20 2008. F-1 visa expired May 2008). My PERM labor is in process and we hope to file for I 140 and I 485 and EAD concurrently by September/ October 2008. My lawyer says that we can file concurrently because my wife's country of birth is in Europe.
Now the questions:
1. Is it okay for my wife to apply for EAD based in I 485 while on OPT with expired F-1 visa? Is there a requirement that wife has to be on H-4 to apply for EAD based on husband's GC application?
A. Singh
She can apply for adjustment of status EAD I-485 she does not need to have H4 to apply for adjustment under you. She is not out of status because he status in the US is currently OPT even thoug the visa itself might have expired on the passport.
2. Also read on some forums that Wife's F-1 OPT will be invalidated as soon as her I 485 application is recieved. Is this true?
A. Singh
It will not be invalidated. Her status will change from F1 to Adjustment of status. You can legally stay in the US while your I-485 is pending and travel using AP or work using EAD.
3. EAD approval takes 3-4 months on average. So if she doesn't recieve her EAD approval by December 2008 (Dec 20 2008 her OPT expires) she will be out of status. Should we apply for H-4 so that she doesn't become out-of-status?
A. Singh
In my opinion you don't need H4, but to be safe in case the I-485 gets denied then she will be out of status. Legally she can stay in the US while her I-485 is being processed that is one of the benefits of I-485.
4. We expect that her EAD approval will come by Jan/ Feb 2009. There is a 2 month gap provision that foreign nationals sometimes use to change their status. Is it a safe bet to avoid getting her on H-4 and use the 2 month gap period?
A. Singh
Yes the 2 month gap provision called 245q protects you against 2 month of illegal work or stay. But in my opinion she will not be out of status in this situation after filing I-485.
4. How much does applying for H-4 cost? I'm simply expecting a range of sorts.
Thanks,
A. Singh
I don't know the current fee you can check the uscis website.

Please help me as I am in big confusion.
I am J1 physician working in Underserved area. Completed 3 years of waiver requirement 9/2006.
I worked with company A from 5/2004 to 3/2007. Got EB-2 PERM based I-140 apporved with PD: 9/2004 with company A
Also applied for NIW based I-140 (self petiton) approved with PD of 9/2004. I-485 pending on this I-140 with RD of 11/2004. I need to complete 5 yrs in underserved area to get GC using this method.
Changed job in 3/2007 to company B hoping to apply for PERM and GC again. But with this new CIR looming with changes in EB catagory I am moving back to company A.
Now my prior employer company A is offering me job again. They have kept my apporved I-140 intact. It is going to take 4-6 weeks to join them back and be on their payroll.
What should I do?
Can I file new I-485 based on approved I-140 with company A even though I am not working with them now (as future employment)? This will be my 2nd I-485 as the first one is pending for NIW application.
Should I try to interfile first I-485 with PERM based I-140? One lawyer told me that if I interfile I-485 with PERM baed I-140 then there is a risk of denial of the I-485 as it was filed duing my three years of waiver service. Second lawyer told me that interfiling can be done with out problem (especially if I 485 is at TSC) but only after joining company A.
As you can see how complicated the case is and how different lawyers give differnt opinions.... I am very confused. Please advise gurus.

Now my prior employer company A is offering me job again. They have kept my apporved I-140 intact. It is going to take 4-6 weeks to join them back and be on their payroll.
What should I do?
Can I file new I-485 based on approved I-140 with company A even though I am not working with them now (as future employment)? This will be my 2nd I-485 as the first one is pending for NIW application.
Should I try to interfile first I-485 with PERM based I-140? One lawyer told me that if I interfile I-485 with PERM baed I-140 then there is a risk of denial of the I-485 as it was filed duing my three years of waiver service. Second lawyer told me that interfiling can be done with out problem (especially if I 485 is at TSC) but only after joining company A.
As you can see how complicated the case is and how different lawyers give differnt opinions.... I am very confused. Please advise gurus.

Sounds like another case of Consultancy Exploitation of Skiller Worker (CESW).
If they are not showing the intent to deny letter, they may be want to prevent you from quitting the company and going elsewhere now that u have ur 3 yr H1B with you.....be mindful of that.
