I now applied for EAD for my wife (not because she is going to work, just go get SSN). I do plan to get SSN for her and then file amended 2008 return. I wonder if I will get stimulas package then (the one which was given in 2008)?

I would not wait until April to be told by HR, Sorry we cannot do it or we will do it at our own pace. I mean, what is so difficult for HR or attorney to decide in filing your Perm? Do they need to do meetings about you everyday for 2 months to decide if they need to file for you?
Is that how corporates work? Imagine if you are given a project and you tell them to come back and talk after 2 months. Dude your end of H1B countdown has already started and you need to act even if you have a buffer time. I have also heard that if a company has layoffs, the company cannot do PERM for 6 months. So what if some layoffs happen until April? You maybe in a soup.
I suggest you take a hard look and do what is in your best interest. Put your own interest over all interest.

If the minister talks to the US President regarding VISA retrogression problem,How the outside world will come to know ? The discussions will be kept confidential ! I don't think everything will be disclosed to the press. VISA revalidation is another thing he can talk to US Secretary of State.

if only we knew about this program in advance, we could've called. :mad:
Yes. Even I did not know it. I was trying to find out if Cspan was showing the hearings in Dallas and found this. I immediately tried calling the lines but they all seemed busy. There were some callers who were criticizing foreign high skilled immigrants and that jobs were being taken away from them and wages were being lowered and they are being allowed to come and stay in the country.
Lets see how the hearings go in Dallas. FYI IV has tried contacting the speakers in the hearing.

MrWaitingGC,
My H1B is valid till April of 2008. When i went for vacation and entered the country in March 2007, the guy at the border patrol did some mistake and put the date on I-94 as 16th sep of 2007 instead of April 2008.
I tried to get it corrected at the local CBP office but could not do it ... So i am planning to make a trip to Canada before my visa stamp expries to get a new I-94 which is valid till April 2008.
But since i have sent my passport for renewal, i am not sure if ic an make the trip bfr my I-94 expires.
And also i am not sure if i can file for extension of my H1B as it is more than 6 months ( it is about 10 months eatly) before the expiration date on my current H1B.
At this point i am helpless with out my passport. I hope i get it soon.
So what i wanted to find out is, is my status still legal after 16th sep 2007 if i file my 485 ...

my employment is terminated a month ago. I still need to file h1 transfer to the GC sponser. I am single
I am told that H1 can be transferred only with in 10 days-20 days or so. which means that it is already a month. so in case if I dont get the h1 or if I have an issue in the H1 transfer, is that the end of my being H1.
If I were to be on H1 again is it going to come under the cap along with those new H1 filers? I still have one and half years to complete 6 years.
I have a fall back to EAD though based an approved 140 and 180 days past 485.
But how do I get the spouse then???
Let me be clear. my H1 is with a different employer than the future GC sponsor. I never worked for the GC sponsor and that is the reason wanting to get the H1 transferred to sponsoring company. As said I 140 approved and I 485 passed 180days.
I was under the impression that you can switch over to H1 from EAD easily.
if there is a gap of 40days will it be ok to file H1 transfer? assuming that I get the H1 approved. Will this gap any issue in 485 adjudication?

I was not implying that legal immigrants would abuse the information if they received someone else's documents, but with that many rejected applications in the mail and lying in mailboxes, there is always a possibility of theft by others. Also documents like the medical exams are expensive to replace.

With a big questions mark on its cash position and a minimum outgo on salary estimated at Rs 500 crore a month, Satyam may lay off over 10,000 employees next month, says a recruitment firm.
"It is most likely that Satyam will cut 10,000 jobs next month as the company is left with no cash to pay the salaries. The current fiasco is likely to put pressure on salaries, which may reduce by 10 per cent due to the surplus of about 20,000 people in the jobs market," Headhunters India CEO Kris Lakshmikanth said.
Satyam interim CEO Ram Mynampati while admitting that the cash position is not encouraging, the company, however, has taken care of salary for December. Lakshmikanth said till Tuesday evening there were about 7,800 people from Satyam who had posted their resumes on job sites and by Wednesday afternoon, it has gone up to 14,000.
The uncertainty about jobs is killingly painful for the 53,000 employees of Satyam, especially when the industry is going slow on recruitment. Further, possibility of a takeover too looks distant as the accounting fraud done by the company would make it difficult for any firm to evaluate its correct market value, which is compounding the worries of the employees.
IT-BPO union Unites Professionals general secretary Karthik Shekhar said, "In case of any lay off at Satyam, we may take legal action." "We have received over 7,000 hits since the news break.
On Wednesday, in one hour we have seen over 800 hits (no of people visiting the site) from Hyderabad. People have been enquiries on how the union can help them," Shekhar added.
Here comes... "Bailout!!! (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Business/India_Business/It_is_for_Centre_to_decide_on_Satyam_Andhra_CM/articleshow/3951539.cms)" Indian Edition. After all that's the latest fashion in govt. All around the world. How can Indian Government ignore the corporate crooks of India?!

I have applied for Advanced parole at the end of July 2007. My H1B visa is expired, but my H1B petition is still valid. Should I just take the risk of traveling and try to get H1B visa renewed to re-enter ?
OR should I just keep waiting for Advanced Parole to be approved ? I can wait until end of November 2007. But I am not sure whether I should plan to travel in Dec 2007 or not. I dont know how long its going to take to get the approved AP.
Any thoughts ?? Do any of the July filers who have filed for AP know what time frame should we expect for approval of I-131 (AP) ?
:confused:
Thanks in advance
...and you dont want to get a H-1B visa stamped because it is risky? What kind of risk does that involve? There is no risk. Just get your H-1B stamped when you go to your destination. Simple.

Hello All,
I have a valid H1 (I-797, I-94) till 2009, but my H1 Visa on my passport has expired in 2005. My wife has a valid H4 till 2009; similarly her H4 visa on her passport got expired, we haven�t traveled outside of US from then. Now she is planning to go to India next month because of some family urgency and she is planning to take an appointment for H4 visa stamping in Chennai consulate (India). My question is, is there going to be any problem for her stamping as my Visa on my passport has been expired even though I have a valid H1 I-797 till 2009?. Is there any rule which states primary applicant has to have valid visa on his/her passport for H4 stamping.
If any one of you had a similar situation please share your experiece, it will be very helpful.
Thank you for your help

EB2 is for advanced degree with exceptional ability.
3 year degree is not a advanced degree. (Here will consider as 3 year college studies- may be comparable to an associate degree or greater)
Diploma is not considered for GC. It is useful for H1B.
Try in EB3. Still not give 100% guarentee.
They need 4 year single source education/degree, for US equivalent.
My friend with 3 year degree + 1 year B.ED degree + 2 year MSc denied for EB2 for education. Evaluation done with most advanced evaluator. Still denied, now on appeal with AAO. Even with 6 year total university studies not accepted. How they accept your 3 year degree.
USCIS refers to EDGE database. It is not equate 3 year with US bachelor degree.
It equate 3+2 Indian degree (not diploma) to US 4 year degree.
Exactly but mere emphasis solely on educational qualification is unfortunate as after few years in job market, your skills & experience has more leverage than the degree and I am saying this based on my personal experience. In our group I was the one with least amount of formal education but still I got promoted 2 times ahead of Masters degree holders form US and foreign universities.
