[QUOTE=pd052009;2116961]GC quota should be based on skillset(1,2,3), not solely based on salary.(remeber, we are talking about future salary here).
we do have it : EB1/EB2/EB3. See EB1 is exploited by 'lot of' people (due to legal loophole) -these people have 4-5 yrs. total work-exp. & get half the salaries & are only 50% useful to US economy than tons of people stuck in eb2 & eb3.
(i know - it is all useless discussion ; won't result in anything).

...I don't mean to sound skeptical, but it is my firm belief (after watching the series of events over the last 8 months), that nothing is final till it's final.
Though, this kind of encouraging news pops up every now and then in the media - we have to (as part of the IV group), work toward getting our provisions passed in whichever Immigration Bill that is on the floor for discussion.
It's surprising that IV is the only group representing the "highly skilled group" and though 100s' of thousands have been affected by the "retrogression" phenomena, we have just about 9000 members...
Let's hope something concrete gets done, this year!
Hope 2007 is the year which puts to rest all the uncertainties we face...

+ straight As only ?
why - only tier1 & tier2 ? should be based salary withdrawn- isn't?
GC quota should be based on skillset(1,2,3), not solely based on salary.(remeber, we are talking about future salary here).
There should be a separate quota for Master's degree holders with existing jobs in their field of study. That would weed out people joining random schools for a Master's degree just to be part of that quota.
They should work atleast for 3Yrs(1st H1B duration) after OPT, in their field to qualify for the new quota. If they change the field during this time, they have to come and join our line.

Hello Gurus,
My I-140 was recently approved. 140-485 filed concurently in July 2007. I have a new job offer and plan to use AC21. However I am worried because the wages at new job would be significantly higher than the old job. There are two reasons for the big difference
1-Desi employer v/s corporate employer
2-Dallas v/s New York
Any comments from people who have faced similar situation will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
I would suggest to get in touch with attorney.

Thank you very much for valuable answer. I appreciate LazyCIS, pmb76 and sam. Then I will wait till 180 days to go.
Just to clarify, Do I need to look / take jobs only permanent after 180 days?
Thank you,

Take a permanent job which is "same or similar" to the one in the underlying LC.

I am in a similar situation. My current H1B and my wife's H4 expire on June 20th, 2007. I have filed for my 7th year extension as well as my wife's H4 extension in Dec 2006. I got receipt notices for both the application with a notice date of Dec 21st, 2006.
I am planning to apply for my wife's H4-H1 in April this year under premium processing and I was wondering what would happen to her H4 application if her H1 petition gets approved first. Will she be out-of-status between June 21 and Sept 30, as her H1 would start on Oct 1st. Also, what happens to her H1 if her H4 is approved after H1.
Any thoughts.

Employees should be particularly wary of having their adjustment applications handled by the employer�s attorneys. If there is a dispute between the employer and employee, as when the employee terminates employment and moves on, there is an inherent conflict of interest. The attorney may continue to represent both side, but only if the conflict is disclosed and explained, and both sides explicitly consent to waive the conflict.
Similarly, the employer�s attorney must provide the employee with complete copies of everything filed in connection with the employee�s application for adjustment of status. This application is personal to the employee and has nothing to do with the employer. If the employer�s attorney files the employee�s adjustment application, he or she is acting on behalf of the employee and owes the employee a fiduciary duty of loyalty. If the CIS issues a request for evidence (RFE) or notice of intent to deny (NOID), the attorney must act in the best interests of the employee if he or she undertakes to respond.
Unfortunately, many employer attorneys see their first loyalty to the employer and not to the employee. If you are uncomfortable having your employer�s attorney represent you, you have the right to change lawyers and retain someone on your own.

He advised that I enter on h1 even if I have the AP.

whoa
I did not know it can be that bad
r u working in the USA now?
:confused:
yes I am working in the bay area.
Back in 2001/2002/2003 I have seen many friends having to return to India (from the bay area) because they could not get another job. All the desi consulting companies that everyone bashes so often? they are the saviours. They are typically the only ones who hire in those times. All the big companies will have hiring freeze's and massive layoffs.
Its already started in the US (Sprint:4k, Lehman Bros 1300, Motorola 7500+1600, applied-materials 1000) but this is the mere tip of the iceberg.
Its starting from the financial sector:
http://news.google.com/news?q=%22cut+jobs%22&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS230US230&um=1&sa=N&tab=in
but will probably spread all over.
The real mess will start in Q3 (thats when we'll know if we are really sunk or some last minute stimulus is goign to keep this recession short and quick). Most probably this time its going to take much longer than 2001/2002 to recover. Back then the dollar was strong, there was a huge fiscal surplus and inflation was not a risk. This time none of those things are there and stimulating the economy is going to take much much longer. Also, to an extent in 2001/2002 it was only tech that imploded. The rest of the economy (& consumers by extension who are the main drivers of the economy) was ok. This time its widespread, consumers across the board are hit.
The July VB was a huge blessing in disguise for lots and lots of people who will be able to maintain status even if they are jobless for a few months. Back in 2001/2002/2003 the option was to be out-of-status of return home. Many chose the latter. This time they can atleast get a job offer from a desi consulting company and keep looking for some consulting gig.

In a publicly traded company, it is almost impossible for one individual to siphon money.
I guess what might have happened here is, Satyam might have faced falling revenues year-on-year. In a sector, where each competitor is reporting 40% profits, to keep upto the performance of sector, they might have been pressured to falsify their revenues.
Now what i am unable to understand is, how come an esteemed audit org like PWC could cover up or fail to findout discrepancies. Either the auditors were stupid and overlooked, or Mr Ramalinga Raju covered up the tracks very well.
In the end it all hurts the stock holders and the employees. This one is going to go down big time in our history, and i bet its going to change the landscape of our IT services sector.

Sometimes I think that rather than writing to these politicians ,we should write to USCIS.This retrogression is caused by them.They didn't wait for any bill to be passed for this retrogression.There is no use of talking to politicians,they don't care.
I know that USCIS will not care either but USCIS did it out of nowhere ,till sep2005,everything was fine for them and suddenly in oct 2005,they put us in backward direction.Now after a year and a half ,we are at the same spot,waiting for the visa bulletin and staying depressed for a day or two after seeing it.
I don't know .I am so mad at everybody.
Sorry for the ranting.
Btw,i have already sent emails to USCIS and chicago tribune regarding this .

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. I believe that my employer has no problem to write me a recommendation letter or sign support letter.
Do you believe I have a chance or not ? which one?
Thanks,
John
Well, your ideal bet is the standard EB2. It will require a labor certificate. The issue is that the cost of obtaining the labor certificate (including lawyer's fee and job advertisement costs; usually total around $5k-$6k) must be borne by the employer; it is the law. You can bear the rest of the cost (I-140+I-485+lawyer's fee for those two stages). If your employer is willing to at least pay for that, then go for it; you will get your GC within a year or two (assuming no major changes in the rules, situations, etc.).
If your employer is not willing to spend any money, then you have two options: EB1 or EB2-NIW; they do not need labor certificate.
The EB2-NIW category does not need employer's sponsorship. However, a support letter from the employer strengthens the case quite a lot. To prove yourself eligible for EB2-NIW, you need to argue that if a labor test is done and an eligible citizen or permanent resident shows up (and hence you cannot be hired), then it will be a *national* loss to the US. Basically this means you have to prove that your field *and* your individual work in the field are very important to the US nationally (i.e., not just to the particular part of the US where you live/work). Other than publications (number as well as quality), citations, and perhaps most importantly, a set of (10-15) recommendation letters from the well known leaders of your field are usually used to establish this.
The EB1-OR (outstanding researcher) category requires that you be in a "researcher" position and your company employs at least 5 other researchers (I am assuming that you are not a tenure-track faculty member in a US institute of higher education). If this is true, then your employer simply needs to "sponsor" you by providing a support letter. No labor certification is needed; so employer need not bear any cost; you are allowed to pay for the whole process. You need to establish that you are an "outstanding researcher" with international reputation.
From what you have told us, it seems that EB2-NIW might be possible for you, but you very likely do not satisfy EB1-OR's requirements. In any case, there is a good amount of randomness in the process and hence there is always a possibility of getting approved. So if your employer does not want to spend any money and you can spare the money, then it may be worth a shot applying for an EB2-NIW. If you decide to do so, get a good lawyer, though.
