It's hard to believe that US economy will go down if they make some tough rules around H1 B visas or worse cancel H1 B program. I means, we can argue that it might create shortage for skilled works but if US really need some skilled workers, they can get it any time ( Like straight green cards for nurses etc). it’s few trillion dollars economy which won’t go down just because of H1-B visas holders.
We the legals... pay taxes, contribute to this economy by spending earned money here in the US, abide by the rules, carry medical insurance.
We keep doing this, till we get our green cards or till we permanently leave this country. It is a win - win situation.
The strict H1-B rules that are added to this Senate bill will be removed or some work around will be sorted out or else the US economy will go down.
The question now is how confident we are that they will get an amendment to give us some EB visa relief.
The high tech employers have a problem with the new merit based system which is going to take away the reins of holding an employee from them. Employers of other industries have raised their concern against this new system which gives more points to degrees and not skill. This system is also causing a lot of concern among the familiy members here.This system will take a lot of time to kick in.
1) The tech lobbyist can add pressure to give relief to current members in backlog so that they can hire them soon. They know that many skilled people are stuck with their companies because they can't switch due to the GC process.
2) Can add pressure by saying that they need us now and not after 5 years when we get our GC.
3) We need to force them to understand that they should give relief to legals too when they are doing a lot for the illegals.
That is all I think can be possible.

Guys pls stop taking useless info pass appointments. People like me who have not received EAD and may loose the job are not able to get infopass appointments because of all the people taking appt to know the 485 status. Pls understand......
I do not know when you started the process of renewal, but you could have filled 4 months ago. Then, secondly, if you are so eager go and take an appt in another city. Just an option...Everyone has the right to do whatever they choose...

Please don't travel thru countries that impose this ridiculous transit Visa requirement on individuals, especially from India. Ask them to justify the charges, and you would get no response from them.
So, even if takes to spend $200 - 300 more, AVOID these crook countries that charge Transit Visa. People we must send the message across. In this century, I think its Indians that are traveling the most on these trans-atlantic-asia route, and collectively avoiding these 'snob' countries would send a very good signal.
If you are buying the transit visa, your dignity is at stake. Its like saying buying insurance for a person who is poor. They dont charge for countries that are more developed. so, AVOID AVOID these countries.
I am traveling to India soon, and I am going thru Brussels not because I got a cheap ticket, but because there is no transit visa required there.
Can you please share through which airlines, that goes thru brussels ?

Hi,
My attorney received an EVL RFE for my I-485 case. My PD is 2007 EB3 so I don't have any hope of getting GC but I guess they are just pre-adjucating my case.
Here is my situation - I filed my !-485 in Aug 2007 and changed job (without filing any AC-21 paperwork with USCIS) in April 2008. My attorney had looked at new job description and given green signal for change. My entire immigration history of 10 years in US is totally clean with no gaps and with all work autorizations.
Now, my concern is that the letter that my attorney has prepared for my current employer to sign has lot of legal lingo (AC-21 language, lot of CFRs, info related to my LCA and I-140) and has some language to the effect of supporting my LCA and I-140 till my GC is approved. It also states that my current employer was able to afford to pay my salary since the LCA date. My employer is fortune 5 company so money wise there is no problem but my concern is that they may not want to sign such a lengthy (wordy) legal doc without consulting their Immi attorney. I don't have much time to respond (only 8 more days). So if my employer takes long time or tells me that they can not sign it, I want to be ready with Plan B. Can someone suggest what should I do?
1 - should I prepare a simple document with job duties, responsibilities, start date, salary etc that my employer will be willing to sign. So at last moment I can atleast get that signed. Something will be better than nothing.
2 - Should I / (bigger question is can I) ask USCIS to give me more time to respond to RFE?
3. Provide simple letter from employer with an affedavit or something stating that the new job is same / similar as the old job.
Sorry for a long post and thanks for any suggestions.
Hi,
Don't worry about this RFE, looks like your attorney is over reacting in responding to RFE, my close friend got a similar RFE last year when he used AC 21 without notifying USCIS and joined a new employer, he just responded to the RFE with the copy of the offer letter and a new standard HR letter provided for giving EVL letter for any purpose, but addressed to USCIS signed by an HR representative, upon the RFE response USCIS approved his I 485 within 15 days. USCIS is just trying to make sure you're currently employed and in the same profession, I think just getting the automated EVL and getting it signed by the HR plus your offer letter copy should be sufficient. I myself successfully used AC 21 , but by notifying USCIS after joining new employer and got my GC approved last year without any RFE.
Good Luck
Cheers

Point noted. So we sang it for respect. So from what you say, it is possible for one to remain on green card forever? what are the advantages/disadvantages?
Citizenship comes 5 years later, if one's interested (and may not be everyone's goal).
Singing a country's national anthem is also different than taking the pledge of allegiance (the latter means you are pledging your loyalty to the United States):

Having said that, excellent job Pankaj!! You had the crowds mesmerized!

I was in Chennai for a visa stamping on Dec 20th. The process both outside and inside the consulate has improved a lot. This was my 5th visit to get a H1 stamp. This time the experience was a little bit different in that they sent me back saying the photos i had were unacceptable. It is not a big deal to get the passport photos outside the consulate but does create a tense situation which can be avoided. I took photos from here (picture people - told them it was for US visa) and it was unacceptable in Chennai. Please make sure that you have the photos as per the VFS specs mentioned on the website. Other than the photos the only thing i was asked was the most recent W2. No questions. Hope this info helps.

I fully agree with the intent of this thread..
Those who do not agree with IV agenda and want to run their own agenda here are free to create their own forum and pursue their agenda there.
Everyday people come up with different divisive agenda. Enough is enough...
We cannot take it anymore...
Founders of IV and those who believe in IV don't do it just for themselves. We are fighting for betterment and for the relief of the whole community.
We should challenge those who divide us - whether they are outsiders or insiders. If insiders don't believe in our mission, they are no longer insiders. They are outsiders and dealt with the way we will deal with anyone from NumbersUSA trying to divide us... If banning such people works, I am all for it!
Let them go and start their own groups.. lawsuits and civil action or whatever...
If people are here to divide, we are no longer going to be silent spectators.
Enough is enough!
We stand united in our fight for relief to IV community.
