Don't send a second time. It could cause lot of problems if you filed twice later according to my lawyer.
Folks,
My lawyer said he sent my I-485 application on June29th, Friday thru USPS Priority mail with out tracking number and believes that it should reached on July 2nd to Nebraska Service center. I am not even sure if it reached the destination or not.
As many of you being in the same boat, I don't know where my I-485 application is at this point . As of now neither my Checks have been cashed nor have I got the rejected 485 envelope.
I called USCIS couple of times with out much of luck as they don't know where my application is and asked me wait till 31st July giving them 30 days time from the day of filing.
So my question if I don't hear back back anything until Aug1st week, is it possible to file I-485 for the second time. If that is ok then would it complicate the issue by having 2 I-485 applications.
Thanks for your help in advance. Please let me know your thoughts.

Assuming that 125 K that Jeff Flake obtained are correct then what USCIS projects the backlog to be 250 K by 2009. That would mean that we are distributing 125 K between E1-E5 for all other countries of chargeablity. Does this add up? I don't think so.
We also have to consider CP as compared to AOS. In this case if these numbers were true the DOS would start making the dates current for the overseas consular posts to catch up which is what it currently does anyhow since it doesnt have the right information from CIS anyways...so I have no reason to believe the farcial information that CIS publishes to alleviate any future forseeable pain they will have to endure as the pressure from other areas of congress and public in general start mounting up.
Besides these are the folks who have NO REGARD for law and make and interprete laws per their own terms

Hello all - This is my first time. Let me tell all of you that IV is an absolutely wonderful effort.
SO I am confused after reading this post - I have filed I140 and I485 in July 07. I140 is not yet approved but 180 days will end in February 08. I have a job offer from another company. They are willing to transfer my H1. But I do not want to do that since I will loose my Priority date. BUT if I understnad correctly if I wait till February, I can get a H1 transfer and still keep my original GC application? All I need to do is send the new employment verification letter and change of lawyers?
Please respond since the new job offer is reaaallly good and I do not want to loose it...
Even if your 180 days are up you prbly need to wait until your 140 is approved before you transfer your H1. Otherwise you will loose your priority date if you transfer without 140.

As I mentioned previously, I would like to write a letter to our congressman/woman because we have more problems in Congress not Senate.
Two weeks ago, I wrote a letter to Marty Meehan (MA)
Days ago, I wrote a letter back to Rep. Smith who wrote me a 4-page letter insisting border security. I would like to urge him to consider separatinglegal skilled immigrants from illegal immigrants.
Here is my 3-page letter:
Dear Representative Smith,
I am writing you expressing my sincere appreciation for your time replying to my letter on the immigration issues.
I absolutely agree with your comment: �Border security is a fundamental and absolutely critical component of our national security�. I also truly appreciate your aggressive work on a package of bills to enhance the border security to prevent illegal aliens. However, the United States is a nation of immigrants, which is the foundation of the states. Its open policies to immigrants, which has been attracting the most talented and brightest people of the entire world and keeps the country strong, energetic and prosperous, should also be continued and reinforced.
I would like to urge you to support the provisions in �Securing Knowledge Innovation and Leadership Act�, known as �SKILL Bill� (S. 2691/H.R. 5744). This bill is targeted at increasing legal immigration of scientific, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workers into the United States by increasing the quotas on the H-1B visa, eliminating green card caps for certain advanced degree holders, and streamlining the processing of employment-based green cards.
As you may know the FY 2007 numerical cap limiting the H-1B program for temporary professional workers was exhausted four full months before the start of the fiscal year. This means that U.S. companies are being denied access to topflight global talent for over sixteen months disrupting, if not destroying, crucial research and development projects in critical industries.
A similar crisis is occurring with EB green cards. Backlogs have resulted for individuals coming from high-demand countries, often the only source of individuals capable of filling high-skilled jobs American businesses need, are forced to spend up to seven years waiting, unable to become true stakeholders in our country. We believe this situation will not only affect an individual�s career growth, but also devastate American competitiveness and long-term economy of the U.S. Not surprisingly, these talented professionals often tire of waiting, and leave the U.S. to put their knowledge and skills to use in other countries eager to compete with, and surpass, the U.S.
�According to the U.S. Labor Department, employment in professional, scientific and technical services will grow by 28.4 percent and add 1.9 million new jobs by 2014. This growth has already severely outpaced our ability to fill these jobs�. February 2006 economic report of the President revealed, �In 2002, immigrants made up about 24 percent of scientists and engineers aged 25�44, an increase from 17 percent in 1996. The higher the education level, the larger the share of immigrants�among those aged 25�44 with professional or doctoral degrees and working in these fields, immigrants made up about half of workers�. A study released by the National Venture Capital Association also showed that a full 20 percent of venture-backed public companies were founded by one or more immigrants. Within the high-tech sector, that percentage rises to 40 percent.
It is obvious that in the high-tech sectors the highly educated international workers do not lower American worker�s wage, but they do fill the shortage within the workforce. They do not deprive Americans of job opportunities, but they do create job opportunities for Americans.
International professionals do not only benefit the United States, but are also giving New Jersey's highly educated workforce a new dimension and boosting the local economy. At a recent conference on the impact of high-skill labor flows from India and China organized by Princeton University, Carl E. Van Horne, director of the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, said skilled workers from India and China are New Jersey's main attraction for companies weighing the pros and cons of whether to locate in the state or elsewhere. Another speaker, Rachel Friedberg, a Brown University economist, also mentioned that one in eight holders of doctorates in New Jersey are from India or China. Moreover, one in four medical scientists in the state come from either the two countries, as do just under one in four software engineers, she said.
The consensus at the conference was that skilled workers from India and China are so important that the state should take steps to ensure that the flow of arrivals continues, such as lobbying, increasing the number of temporary work visas.
SKILL Bill provides a solution addressing the problem. However in the passing year, it was largely overlooked because of the overwhelming debate on illegal immigrants after the House embedded it in a comprehensive immigration reform (CIR). I urge you, as a congressman of the United States and a representative of the State of New Jersey, to support the bill and separate it from the complicated illegal immigrant crisis.
I firmly believe that protecting Americans from threats must be the nation�s top priority. But in the global economy, attracting and welcoming international talent is important, too.
Because of tightening border security and a tedious visa application policy, the international student enrollment started declining since the academic year of 2002/2003, first time since the1950�s. In 2005 a study showed that in China the number of the applicants to the U.S. dropped over 30%, while applicants to Europe and Australia doubled, or more. In order to attract more students, the State Department introduced the �Secure borders, open doors� policy in 2005 and reinforced it in January 2006. The latest November 2006 report from the Institute of International Education reveals: �Overall foreign student numbers stabilize, ending two-year decline�
The international student enrollment crisis has provided an example demonstrating that with selected, thoughtful changes to U.S. visa policies, the United States can achieve both goals, making the homeland safer and the economy stronger.
Once again, thank you for your kindly response.

Hi,
Can somebody work on 2 H1Bs at one time.
Company A is not willing to pay due to business loss.
Company B is willing to offer full time H1B employment only if transfer, and not on contract.
So if an employee moves from company A to company B in good terms, what happens to A's H1 Visa. Can the employee go back to A in future if needed after working for B for sometime. A is holding the greencard and ofcourse 485 is pending.
Just in case the employee wants to be in A's payroll also, but not get paid. How does that work.
What is the legal way in which A's H1 is not cancelled, and one can work with B, and then go back to A after sometime on same old A's H1.
Thank You,
Bobby.
Robert_Kumar:
One can have any number of H1B's but at any given time only one employer can employ you.
You have an approved H1B with company A
You have an approved H1B with company B
You can move over to B and then if you are not satisfied, you can move back to A. but remember you can move back to A only if (H1B with A is not expired and H1B with A is not withdrawn)
If A agrees to keep your H1B and you are on a payroll with some other company B/C/D, they are not obligated to withdraw the H1B.
GC is future employment - it does not mean that you should be working for them in the meanwhile. After you get your GC you are required/better off working for company A for atleast 6 mos.
Remember this is my understanding - Talk to an attorney if you need solid legal advice.

Just 2 cents.
May be you can try to break the years 2008 and 2009 into quarters. If some of the quarters are positive, then you can argue saying "only 1 or 2 quarters were like that because of economy otherwise company is doing well".

Guys,
My wife is going to give her DL test this weekend in NJ. Although I had to give a written exam and pass a road test for my DL, I have been hearing stories that nowadays some centers give you the DL just after passing the written test - No Road Test needed. While am not against giving a road test, I think it will be pretty sweet to get the DL right after passing the written exam. She does have a valid Indian DL (in english) in case that helps.
Can you guys share your experience with DMV and tell me in your opinion which DMV office is better in this regard?
My Wife got her NJ DL without the Road Test. The procedure is when you make the initial application you have to state that you have a DL from a foreign country. They would endorse on the slip that the road test is exempted. So once the written is clear you get the license. If you wife can visit the DMV on a weekday its great the job may get sooner. It took me and my wife 5-6 weekends to get the job done from start to finish.
I had to get my DL the hard way in another state where the road test is really very comprehensive. However I feel that this policy in the garden state is very immigrant friendly.

I am all for it, Lets start talking I am sure something good will come out of it.
It will be great help to many in this forum.
Can we have a similar forum based job board? Categarised to different jobs?
Since IV has different goals, I am not sure if we can use IV resources for job posting etc..

Not true! I have S-Corporation without GC. Actually you don't need even filed GC to start S-Corp, all you need is social.
You are right, I confirmed this with IRS. Who can be more accurate than IRS :). So yes you can register S-Corp on EAD or even if you are on H1B.

Hello Sheila Danzig,
This is regarding your post -
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/fo...tml#post540197
We do not ban anyone unless we have reasons to believe that someone is working to harm our effort.
Also, it is possible that sometimes group of members in the same workplace and they have the same external IP address. In this case, if we ban the IP address of 1 member, it does block others who are in the same network that is configured to use NATing IP configuration. We do not like banning anyone and thats an extreme step which we are forced to under the curcumstances beyond our control.
Its possible that we did not intend to block anyone purposefully, but had to make a hard choice given the circumstances. If you could please share the information about the member who you suspect was banned unfairly, we will do further analysis and will get back to you soon.
Thanks,
Team IV
Dear Admin,
As it happens that IP Adress of network at my workplace is banned. I am not sure why but as you said you might have banned it due to some member creating nuisance on the forum. Its a major fortune 500 company and all of the internet users have same IP. Its just not seem fair to punish all others.

I am not sure if thats correct. Bcos USCIS is trying to generate more money from now on to hire more people. So, Assuming i am goin to renew it every year by paying $375 and assuming u r goin to apply after aug 17th. You will end up paying only $1000 for 5 Years and i end up paying $350 per year for the next 5 years. Basically is a fee hike for people before aug 17th and for people after aug 17th, its not a fee hike, its a downgrade to less fees...AM I RIGHT????
The EAD lasts only 1 year. WHENEVER you renew it (for another year) you HAVE to pay a fee. Hope this helps

Just heard from some wonderful people in the HR that in their opinion, I cannot get payed till they have my H1B extension approval in hand! Of course, the same wonderful HR people waited till the VERY LAST DAY to file the extension! So I have to wait for 2-3 months to get paid, even though I reminded them 2-3 months back to get started on my renewal?
I am soooo done with this country and its semi-educated, inefficient and ignorant bureaucracy and its blood-sucking, greedy, exploitative employers.
The USPS won't forward my mail to my new address correctly after they send me the receipt for my change of address form!
The SSA loses my new-born son's social security card!
Something is going terribly wrong with this country.
I think we had a much better quality of service in India even 10 years back.
On April 24th, I will watch the senate proceedings for one day and decide whether I should go back.
It is morally and legally wrong! As others have mentioned, you cannot be denied salary - you are in legal status!
But, I agree with your frustration - certain parts of this country can just be nuts!

Then I think the RFE is about another employment verification letter from your current employer. It seems that your original GC sponsoring employer might have requested for 140 withdrawal which triggered the new RFE. Though we are supposed to file AC21 when we change employers, there is no defined process on the USCIS side to attach the AC21 paperwork to your file. So its not unusual to get an RFE in your scenario. Actually, you should consider yourselves to be fortunate to receive an RFE and not a denial notice instead. I have seen many people in the same scenario who received denial notices and had to go through MTR process to get their I-485s re-opened.
Whats the benefit for an employer to withdraw approved I-140?

hi i dont think the person who posted this question works for a desi employer, he is a FTE directly with the employer but on h1b. example working for microsoft directly on h1b .
And he is doing exactly what other FTE are asked to do, so it is perfectly normal and i do not see any discrimination or to be sad that we are h1 and we are frm india.
When you are in rome be a roman.
So now coming back to the question, it is ok to be on h1 and work less than 40 hrs but the h1b has to be amended, murthy.com had recenly an article explaining this,
Part time h1b helpful during recession
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_pth1re.html
Please read this and also guys try to provide proper advice to someone, if we dont know anything it is better not to reply instead of misguiding someone.
So it is ok to lawfully work less than 40 hrs. but personally you need to see how it impacts your take home pay and whether you need to jump / transfer to another employer....
Because remember it will all start with 32 hrs then layoffs... signs of sinking titanic....

Part time h1b helpful during recession
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_pth1re.html
Please read this and also guys try to provide proper advice to someone, if we dont know anything it is better not to reply instead of misguiding someone.
So it is ok to lawfully work less than 40 hrs. but personally you need to see how it impacts your take home pay and whether you need to jump / transfer to another employer....
Because remember it will all start with 32 hrs then layoffs... signs of sinking titanic....

Here is the extract from the bulletin... from govt. webite...
:
"E. EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE COMING MONTHS
All Employment Preference categories except for Third �Other Workers� have been made �Current� for July. This has been done in an effort to generate increased demand by Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) for adjustment of status cases, and to maximize number use under the annual numerical limit. However, all readers should be alert to the possibility that not all Employment preferences will remain Current for the remainder of the fiscal year. Should the rate of demand for numbers be very heavy in the coming months, it could become necessary to retrogress some cut-off dates for September, most likely for China-mainland born and India, but also possibly for Mexico and Philippines. Severe cut-off date retrogressions are likely to occur early in FY-2008. "
It says that dates are likely to retrogress in FY-2008 "
But the concern is if they retrogress as being done with Eb-3 other worker..might be a big blow...
AILA said they are considering a legal action...
Anyway dont know what to do .. my wife is coming on 15th july...
Any guidance...

austingc - I think its better to send the response when you come back (but finish preparing everything before you leave).
Also, can you let us know if you are working in a consulting set up and what documents are you providing (or already provided in the application) to respond to the employer-employee relationship RFE?
Thanks, Pbuckeye. My company lawyer had told me the same thing. He asked me to send my I-94 once I returned back, so that they can send it with the RFE response.
It looks like common employer employee relationshiop like Reporting, Organization structure and so on. I did not get a copy of it.
