With current situation in economy, I don't think our HR 5882 will be in the mark uplist. US govt has bigger problems than spending time for "recapture EB visas". I have no hope of recapture bill will be discussed near future. Sorry for my pesimistic views
As much as I am disheartened with current situation regarding EB visas, I am more disheartened by this give up attitude...
For all folks who do not act because of pessimistic views, please don't take this personally. Having pessimistic views are ok as long as they don't get you down so much so that you stop taking actions.
Lemme tell you something my friends. I came to US in 94, and for reasons mentioned in my other postings, I am still in the waiting line for the GC...Compared to me (and may be a few others), most of you guys' situation is much better in terms of the wait. But even though I am disheartened, I never lost hope and the only thing that keeps me going is trying...I may bend, but I will never break...
If you give up for something like GC, imagine how it will when you encounter bigger problems in life...My advice to you my friends is keep trying as long as there is a chance, and as long as there is nothing to lose...

But...I'm not comfortable with subject, that is starting with a question.. ( reply to svn's post)
IMO, it might backfire as...'What da xxxx is in it for legal immigrants?'( depending upon ones mood at that time)
I'm more for a lowered tone...request, that is.

I just received this article from one of my friend and it�s the reality for most of us. This is not to discourage any one. Just thought to share it with you all.
I dont know the author of this article.
************************************************** ****
ONE BEDROOM FLAT... AN INDIAN SOFTWARE ENGINEER'S LIFE...- A Bitter Reality
As the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in Software Engineer and joined a company based in USA, the land of braves and opportunity. *When I arrived in the USA, it was as if a dream had come true.
Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I would be staying in this country for about Five years in which time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India.
My father was a government employee and after his retirement, the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat.
I wanted to do some thing more than him. I started feeling homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald's and pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down.
Finally I decided to get married. Told my parents that I have only 10 days of holidays and everything must be done within these 10 days. I got my ticket booked in the cheapest flight. Was jubilant and was actually enjoying hopping for gifts for all my friends back home. *If I miss anyone then there will be talks. After reaching home I spent home one week going through all the photographs of girls and as the time was getting shorter I was forced to select one candidate.
In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I would have to get married in 2-3 days, as I will not get anymore holidays. After the marriage, it was time to return to USA, after giving some money to my parents and telling the neighbours to look after them, we returned to USA.
My wife enjoyed this country for about two months and then she started feeling lonely. The frequency of calling India increased to twice in a week sometimes 3 times a week. Our savings started diminishing. After two more years we started to have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, were gifted to us by the almighty. Every time I spoke to my parents, they asked me to come to India so that they can see their grand-children.
Every year I decide to go to India. But part work part monetary conditions prevented it. Years went by and visiting India was a distant dream. Then suddenly one day I got a message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I couldn't get any holidays and thus could not go to India. The next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there was no one to do the last rights the society members had done whatever they could. I was depressed. My parents had passed away without seeing their grand children.
After couple more years passed away, much to my children's dislike and my wife's joy we returned to India to settle down. I started to look for a suitable property, but to my dismay my savings were short and the property prices had gone up during all these years. I had to return to the USA.
My wife refused to come back with me and my children refused to stay in India. My 2 children and I returned to USA after promising my wife *
I would be back for good after two years.
Time passed by, my daughter decided to get married to an American and my son was happy living in USA. I decided that had enough and wound-up every thing and returned to India. I had just enough money to buy a decent 02 bedroom flat in a well-developed locality.
Now I am 60 years old and the only time I go out of the flat is for the routine visit to the nearby temple. My faithful wife has also left me and gone to the holy abode.
Sometimes I wondered was it worth all this? My father, even after staying in India, had a house to his name and I too have the same nothing more.
I lost my parents and children for just ONE EXTRA BEDROOM.
Looking out from the window I see a lot of children dancing. This damned cable TV has spoiled our new generation and these children are losing their values and culture because of it. I get occasional cards from my children asking I am alright. Well at least they remember me.
Now perhaps after I die it will be the neighbours again who will be performing my last rights, God Bless them. But the question still remains 'was all this worth it?'
I am still searching for an answer................!!!!

No, I did not misunderstand. That reply had no quote included and therefore was directed to the person who opened the thread (see very first post from AkhiChopra) and that has everything to do with salary. :o
I think you misunderstood. The OP is talking about his friend, his company and payment from clients. It has nothing to do with salary

Labor RIR Case from MN (Approved Recently)
Labor RIR Case from TX (Approved Recently)
Labor PERM EB3 (Approved in 2006)
Paid so far 8K (including USCIS Fees)
Lawyer is asking more now for
Filing I-140 - I-485 - EAD - AP (for both me and my wife)
Have I paid too much? Should I pay more to him?
Your lawyer is cheap. I paid 7500 for 1 labor certification.
Question for you. What USCIS fees did you pay. I don't recall any USCIS fee on labor stage.

I only have something to say, everyone is looking for its own turf, and if you really want diversity in the forum, the hard count will not attract anyone else other than Indians and Chinese. I am few months from working due to EB2- Worlwide category (current), so any change on the hard count is not on my benefit, same for anyone who is not from India or China, the EB3 is not current worlwide but the line of all the other countries is still shorter, if you really want to reach more than Indians and Chinese the goal has to be good for everyone, and the hard count is not. Thanks.
Latest update: Latina explained that the hard count doesn't affect the place in the line for the Worlwide category, it just affects the unused numbers and that this will go to other skilled workers from no worldwide categories other than to not skilled people, I am all for that, I just do not want to have to wait any longer and if Latina was correct my assumptions were mistaken.

Hi pd,
thanks for the post - its useful.
There is comment in the report about the EAD/AP validity for three years, as in "Employment authorization documents (EAD) are presently valid for one year at a time. The CIS is about to extend this validity to three years. The same is true of advance parole (AP) documents".
I thought they are now giving two years for EAD (if PD is under retrogession) - this plan of extending this validity to three years - is it new or some sort of typo? If true - that would be good.

Regulations
Please provide an update on the status of regulations regarding the following: AC21, CSPA, T regulations for adjustment of status, EB-5, and religious workers.
Response: The AC21 rule and the EB-5 Special Class rule are both undergoing revision and should be published in the near future.
I wonder what the AC21 rule revision is going to be?

Basically to retain the PD you should have the copy of the I-140 approved and you could retain the PD. Having said that, different lawyers have different interpretations when you switch jobs and retain the PD. Basicallly some lawyers say you could retain the PD even if your old employer uses it for another person after revoking yours, while others say you can't retain PD if your old employer revokes your I-140. However if your old employer willn't revoke your I-140 then you could definetely port your PD with your new employer. If you employer is hesitant to give, you could try asking him other ways if possible for H1B stamping etc.
If a person has a copy of 140 approval, can he/she port the PD even
if the employer revoke it?
thanks

Dear Friends,
I have an approved I-140 with PD of Mar 06, but i left this company to join a new company. I have tried many times to file PERM through this new company but still unsuccessful. I am waiting to withdraw my PERM appeal to file a new PERM since January 09 (so folks don't ask me to update my profile because i am yet to file PERM, I have updated my profile three times since 2006 and also cleared it).
Question: When i spoke to my company's lawyer regarding my earlier I-140 they say that first i need to get my PERM approval (I agree) and than i need to get my I-140 approval (Which i am not sure) inorder to port priority date, is it true? Can't we port Priority date along with I-140 application itself?
Thanks,
R.

My wife and daughter planning to go to India next month. They do not have H4 stamping but H4 validity is there up to next year. Plan is to come back after receiving AP. I am thinking that once their AP is approved I will send their AP to India, and they will come back using that AP. Experts, do you see any problem in this. Please share your thoughts.
Thanks, Regards
If the person gets the visa stamped on the passport at the US consulate abroad, I do not see any problems re-entering.
AP is only optional. You can always get a valid US visa stamp based on the approved petition and use the H-1 visa stamp to re-enter.
I am not sure what the confusion here is:rolleyes:
this post was for specific question as to whether his spouse and child can use AP while returning from his home country. They have a valid H4 or some status now which was going to expire and he wanted them to use AP( and not get a renewal) while entering back. My post address that issue. So hope the confusion is cleared
-cheers

Just to add -
If customer is from India/China/Mexico then they will receive the product in 10 years. Rest all can get it in 3/4 years.
If customer uses Master Card (EB-1) then they get it in 6 months, Discover (EB-2) in 1 year. Rest all will wait for a long time.
Their order goes in pending queue, if they do not receive the product within 1 year then they have to renew the order and customer will pay for this renewal.
9 YEARS AND COUNTING.........................
Users comments for the above post that I got. Now, why should I come here for HUMOR.
May be guys down there can give me answer who posted these comments for me.

I saw a similar thread in one of the anti-immigration forums.
It was about members of immigration voice using filthy language in public forums. Don�t remember the exact words but it read something like �is this kind of third world behavior we get by bringing in so-called HIGHLY SKILLED immigrants to USA?�
Are you referring to OP ( ganguteli )
"I saw this on an anti immigrant site by a M*****r. "
This is his first line of the post.
