I think there was slight movement for EB3 for China and for Mexico. Now, most EB3 categories are the same PD as ROW. Except India.
(sigh).
I was really hoping ROW would move at least a little. This is very discouraging.

Hello All,
I am currently on OPT which is valid till July 2009. Also, my H1-B is approved through a company X starting oct 2008. Currently I got a job with company Y on my OPT. Can I continue to work on my OPT with company Y till July 2009? OR Do I need to transfer my H1B to company Y from company X to be able to continue to work after Oct 2008? If so, do I need any paystubs from company X. What can be the start date on the offer letter from company X.
Please help. Your guidance is truly appreciated.
Regards
Swetha.

USCIS just went through the laborous task of processing more than 1 million applications for 485, ead, ap combined and also sending out FP notices and guess what, come Feb-march most of us will be ready to reapply for EAD and AP and USCIS has to go through the same process and this is likely to continue for next 4-5 years atleast..All USCIS wil be doing is processing EADs and AP..
Don't you guys think USCIS must be seriuosly thinking of a solution to clear this mess once and for all
Options
1) Give 3 yr ead and AP
2) As a one time thing make priority dates of all july applications only current :) (highly unlikely)

You can have experience in any country not necessary in USA. But the experience earned at current employer is not considered towards 5 years
This is true. That said, if you transfer from one office/department to another office/department within the same employer, you can count the 5 years experience as long as these two offices/departments are using two different Tax Id for your W-2. This is what our lawyers told us.

Hi all,
I just got the below update from the USCIS website regarding my case.
Has anybody received this?.. What is the possible Evidence that they may be looking for?. Who receives such notice (Me or My lawyer)... Normally what response time would be given?... Please advise...
Current Status: We mailed you a notice requesting additional evidence.
we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence and/or information in this case. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the evidence and/or information requested. This case will be held in suspense until we either receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once you submit the information and/or evidence requested, you will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something further from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service.

Please check this post by murthy on Non 09, 2007

On October 23, 2007, sixteen members of the New Democrat Coalition, led by the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, requested that "the House take action this year to resolve the immediate talent crisis that is facing U.S. employers." The group is pushing for reform that would increase H1B and employment based permanent residence, or "green card" quotas, before Congress adjourns this year.
Any IV updates on this ?
Yet again we have H1B and GC issues together , does this mean there is no chance that this would succeed ?
This year has seen like a 100 letters go back and forth between the house and senate on High skilled immigration , and we are where we were . The only outcome that the senators have had is they have improved their letter writing skills :D, and the only advantage nancy pelosi has had is that she is now the proud owner of a file which by now is 100 letters thick all pleading her to reform the immigration process and how prodly she can proclaim that she has done NOTHING to improve our plight . :D
SORRY to SAY this but cannot help but be sarcastic. :confused:

My attorney is saying they can file MTR on "USCIS's own motion" with that we don't have to pay the application fee of $585? This is something new to me, but I trust my attorney.
Has anyone else heard of this before? I just want to double check as the last thing I want is USCIS denying my MTR for not filing with the fee.

So can I ask my colleague to send me a notarized experience letter ?
Notarizing means taking an oath in front of a notary. Also be aware that notary is done for documents not in the public domain. Your freind better be sure of what he is vouching for. Otherwise he will get into trouble.
Why would not your ex-employer sign your experience letter? HR department of every company once in a while receive requests like this from ex-employees and they should not have a problem with it.

You do have to pay taxes on any dividends you earn. Your brokerage firm will send you an 1099 form at the end of the year detailing your income.
If you do sell stocks and otherwise have capital gains or losses to report, you will typically file a Schedule-D form along with your 1040.
To my knowledge, as long as you are a "passive" investor, there is no problem with investing. You cannot be an "active" investor when on H1-B, unless you have another H1-B that supports your "active" investment activities. Put simply, if you are buying stocks and holding on to them for a period of time before you sell, you are fine. But if you plan on becoming a day trader (very good time right now to make and lose money, with all this volatility) then you likely are an "active" investor.
I am not a lawyer, and the above is my common sense understanding.
One more additional question on this, say we open a trading account now and we buy shares in 2008 , but do not sell it yet (meaning no income was made in 2008), then will there be any impact or any additional filing to be made for 2008 tax returns, or how does stock trading relate to tax returns...

I understand your frustration, but its like holding IV responsible for getting your GC - that does not seem right.
Contributing now is important; and after getting gc's, its equally important to support the people who are still stuck in the process.
My First donation was in Jan 2006. The latest one was, 100$ for the Washington meet this year. And I had a lot more in between. This will be just on top of it. How is my GC is related to IV. I dont think I am holding anybody responsible for it.

It seems I spoke too soon about having that bold problem tucked away. It does work like I mentioned. However if upon opening the window i first click the bold button then click in the textbox, the bold button will return to its unClicked state. It is only if i first click the bold button and begin typing without clicking in the textbox before typing that it retains its isChecked state and the text is bold.
(This is how it is working after adding the MainRichTextBox.Focus to the cs file.)

Only I-485 is immigrant intent. LC/I-140 - are filed by the employer, it's not 'your' intent. Medical exams don't matter at all.

Could you please tell me the reason you mentioed for "Description of your problem".
Our PD : Dec 22nd 2003, EB2 India. It was pre-adjudicated on Sept 18th 2008.
My petition was approved 4 months back, after calling 100 times USCIS.
In my wife's case we spoke with IO on Sept 4th.
Created Service Request on 5th Sept.
During September 2nd week spoke to IO, IO sent an email to IO who is looking at petition.
During September last week we got Service Request generic response "Wait 180 days" which I have seen 2 times in my case .
On Sept 29th sent 7001 form to Ombudsman. Ombudsman office might have received the application on or before 1st October.
October 2nd 2009 my wife's petition approved.
So if your case is genuine case problem. Don't waste your time calling Immigration officers. Send 7001 form to Ombudsman's office.
