Hi Miriam,
I appreciate your efforts in highlighting this issue. It is a high stakes issue for would be future americans who respect the law, abide by it and wait patiently for their turn in line to apply for
green card, while maintaining legal non-immigrant working status during years of wait, paying taxes and contributing to social security. I would also like to highlight that in H1B status if one loses the job, he or she needs to leave the country in 10 days.
I am glad you are bringing the issue of legal immigration to light. After all, thats what everybody wants, immigration to be orderly and legal, but is it workable ? and why people trying to follow the law feel cheated and duped by the government, after waiting patiently for years and abiding to
the laws.
The Dept of State and Dept of Homeland Security(USCIS) acted against the interests of immigrants who are trying to immigrate legally. Legal immigration is the real issue. If it works, there
will not be a need to grant amnesty to millons of illegal alilens. The real solution to stop
illegal immigration is to make legal immigration work. Unfortunately, the government is going
in the opposite direction as evident by the actions of DOS and DOHS on July 2, 2007.
Is government sending the message to people trying to follow the law that, Following the law is
going to get tougher, just break it, become illegal aliens and we are working on an amnesty.
I would request you to get to the bottom of this and find out whether right procedures and laws were followed in using the visa numbers ? If not, then the conclusion is, government of United States failed in respecting and following its own laws. Is it not a travesty, that law breakers are
probably going to be rewarded with an amnesty and govenment is not respecting them either ?
We are resepecting it, following it and are getting the door slammed on us. I never thought, I
would see this in America. My impression of America has changed, forever.

Hello Ms. Miriam:
As a long time subscriber to the WSJ and one of the victims of the "bait and switch" by the USCIS and Department of State, I would like to thank you for covering the article in the WSJ. I would like to kindly direct your attention to the stand taken by AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Assoc.) and Immigration Voice (a non profit organization representing skilled immigrants). I feel it is necessary that the impact and the behind the scenes maneuvering at DOS be covered by a respectable publication such as the WSJ. May I point you to some of the links on the internet. Some are yet-unverified rumors. I hope that you will use your journalistic discretion and power to bring more light to this issue

Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?
I thought there was a country limit on how many gcs are approved for a country per year. So even if there is a spill over - can a backlogged country like India use it because of the limit ?

Correct.But it's surprising that my company wants to inform USCIS about my lay off even though I am using EAD to work with them.
Let them inform. Logically nothing should happen. The company wants to be in the safer side by informing USCIS.
Since you are in EAD, take unemployment and enjoy life. Hope for the best and get ready for the worst.
My company laid me off in one day without thinking a H1B guy has to leave the country immediatley. I asked them to buy my car, furniture and appartment lease as an obligation for fair value. Because of that i got 2 weeks more time to think over. Anyway they are not going to pay. Did you ask the company to pay you a return airfare to your country. If you ask, they will need time to research and you will get more free time.

I am a little concerned with the timing of these developments. I am in the same boat as everyone getting ready to file 485. But I am equally worried about this. These messages are not even getting enough attention and getting pushed down the active list.
They might pull the Rug off from under our feet while we are clamoring about various 485 application issues. Everyone should keep an eye out for it.

Dude - think practically. If the billing rate that the company is going to get from the client is $70/hr and they keep only $5/hr then they have to give him $65/hr. If they have to keep him on the payroll, they will have to pay 7.45% in payroll tax, which is employer's portion of Social Security Tax and Medicare (reducing their rate from $70 to $65.1575). This means they will be making 15.75 cents/ hr (translates to $315 for a year assuming that you work for 2000 hrs - the remaining 80 hrs go in holidays - for which they may or may not pay). Even if they are outsourcing payroll, do you think that it will cost them less than $315 a year to pay him? even if it costs $0 - who would be willing to keep you on their payroll to make only $315 a year? Would you? and if you take unemployment insurance and liability insurance into account, the company would make a loss. If you owned a company would you follow this business model? If you are - you might as well just give your money for free to all your employees.
The only way you can get a company to keep $5/ hr and give you the rest is if you agree to a 1099 (and you cannot do that on a H1B - you need to use EAD for that). On a 1099 - there are other tax implications - now you have to pay both your share and the employer share of payroll tax (14.9%). And now since you are an independent consultant (which is what a 1099 is), you have to get your own Liability Insurance. To prevent people from suing you, you will need to form a LLC or some other type of corporation. You might want to get a good CPA to setup your company so that you can setup the right kind of company to benefit from the right tax deductions.
There is nothing wrong in making more money - just like you want more money, the corporations are out there to make money too. No one is in the business for charity. As long as the relationship between employee and employer is symbiotic, all is good. Once the equation changes, it is either time for the employee to say good bye to the employer or for the employer to off-load the employee from the corporate bus.
I have seen many posts in this forum complaining of "blood-sucking" employers and how they exploit employees. To me, that is the same as:
- programmer's guild complaining about us stealing their jobs or
- people losing their home and blaming the banks "for not disclosing terms"
- anyone who is blaming anyone else for their troubles
If you are being exploited, it is because you are willing to be exploited. Don't blame the employer. Blame yourself. If you don't want to pack your bags and go home when you lose a job and cannot get another one, don't blame the employer and tell others that they are "sucking your blood". Everyone is here to make money.
I understand what you meant..i forgot to mention in my post that if i expect the employer to keep 5/- only then i will take care of running payroll(means pay ADP to run payroll). I will pay employer to keep my h1b status.
I do understand there are expenses incurred on the employer side too.
Also i will work with the vendor on EAD but on W2. So no worries about liability insurance. But thanks for your informative post. I need strong information like you gave so that i dont take a wrong step..

again from the same Murthy article:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued.
Got it. I hope this stupidity doesn't happen!! Can this country's immigration laws get more convoluted???

What a crack-head - I didn't know H1Bs were 5-year visas - I guess I've overstayed my welcome...
And to say that everyone stays here is ludicrous - Half the people that started with me on my project have gone back to India for better positions with better pay and the rest have gone on to green cards and some even citizenship. He thinks that everyone stays here after 5 years (???) and then works illegally - like that's possible - idiot!
He thinks a company hiring skilled workers like computer analysts is going to let you stay on past 6 years if you haven’t filed for your green card and jeopardize their reputation and legal standings? They would just hire new H1B workers and kick you to the curb – at which point you would have to work under the table flipping burgers – but I guess the ignorant freak thinks that’s better than going back home and getting a project managerial position, because all other Countries are third world and live in mud huts?

My friend is also with Ron, and he is highly satisfied. My lawyer before is a Desi woman in New York. I am upset with her most of the times. Final RFE reply for my wife's (I-485) is send by me and got approved within a week. (lawyer asked me big $$$)
I didn't know Ron when I started my labor process.
My recomendation to everyone to go to Ron Gotcher to avoid headaches.
Been with Ron Gotcher for over 5 years now. Never ever had a problem. The best thing is you can talk to him or his son anytime regarding any immigration issues. I had lots of H1 issues with my current employer and he was gracious enough to talk to my employer several times and help them out without charging me a penny. I would highly recommend him.

Hi,
My parents will be here for more than 184 days this year (on visitors vis) and I want to claim them as dependats on my tax return for next year.I searched through some old threads, but the info seems to be outdated.
* Can I claim them as dependants on my tax return?
* Has anybody done this successfuly before?
* What is the deduction amount per person/dependant?
* What is the process? I know they will need an ITIN etc.
Regards
Nick
You should be able to claim them as dependents in your 2007 taxes if they pass the "substantial presence" test. You can get 2 additional "exemptions" for them in your return. IRS looks to issue new ITINs only during tax filing (so when you mail your return next year, you attach their W7s with your filing). Or your parents can open a savings bank account and if they have any "income" in the US, they are entitled to an ITIN any time of the year.
I have just applied for ITINs for my parents who spend 6 months every year with me. They pass the substantial presence test and I plan to file amended returns as soon as I obtain their ITINs. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I have an appointment set up with a doctor. However, the doctor is not listed as a USCIS authorized physician in the USCIS web site.
I called the doctor's office and they assure me that he does "immigration physicals" and has been doing them.( As a side note, there is another doctor in the same office who is on the approved list but he is on vacation)
Is the following website updated with list of eligible civil surgeons ? https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV
Please advise.
Goto Rajiv Ahuja at Fremont or Hayward if you are located in Bay area.
No appointment necessary.

Dhundhun,
I hold high regard for your postings...but in the 765 manual, I could not find any such rule that you just mentioned..Here is an excerpt from Pg 9 of
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf
If your response to Question 16 is (c)(9) ....
Otherwise, if you filed your I-485 adjustment application with
a USCIS Service Center, you must file Form I-765 at the
Nebraska Service Center or the Texas Service Center,
depending on where you live (see the following addresses)......
Are you sure ?? :confused:
I have recently moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania and am about to file for renewal. Thanks....
Sorry to hear that case is gone to wrong office. The (c)(9)() class of EAD filing instruction is that it must be sent where I485 is being processed.
During infopass visit, officer must have given some clue.
If I were you, I would be sending the supporting documents with a covering letter stating the blunder. This type of mistake should not be uncommon to USCIS offices and they should have procedures to fix it.

It is known that many employers and their attorneys do not provide their employees with the 485 receipt number. To avoid unnecessary trauma and strain on the employer-employee relationship, we should request USCIS to send a copy to the applicant whether 485 was filed with or without G28.
There are some places, where employee is kept out of the loop and is being exploited. USCIS is the only body which can help in this. It should send copies of all the transactions it makes with either attorney or the employer. that way the employer/ attorney doesn't get a chance to exploit the employee.

As somebody said earlier, it's not right a forcing statement to make somebody donate. When I read the first reply of my email was not something which I asked advice but a dontation I was somewhat flustered. IT reached the limites when somebody mentioned cancel your trip of Bahamas and donate. Bharatpremi, I must say mind your own business, don't tell me what to do.
On top people have repped in wierd ways as well.
I would just say please mind your own business in these things if you don't want to give advice, dont act like some jerk and tell me what to do and what not to do..
By the way I have already donated money in past before DC rally and will donate again.
Please don't spoil the spirit of forum and try to act maturely!!!
Bunch of losers. I am done with this forum.
settle down kid - no need to get 'flustered' over my request to donate. trust me if i had known the answer to your question that wouldbve been part of my answer too. and you're the loser if you run away from such a terrific forum

Yes. GC is always for future employment.
What I had (mis-) understood till date was: there were 2 ways for employment based GC: 1) if I was outside US all along, and the employer applied my employment based GC for future employment, and 2) if I was working in US for the employer and he applied for my EB2 GC based on the job that I was offered and was working on.
I understood that I was in the (2) category, and was wondering if my employer could switch my GC processing (Labor/I-140 approved) to the (1) type. Is this possible?
I might have got mixed up with the Consular Processing vs AoS, but from what I read, those terms would really come into picture only after the 485 stage, isn't it?
