We should not waste our time and money on this. I also would like to understand the lobbying impact of IV. After hearing tech lobby brought CA governor into picture and even that does not make any difference in favor of tech companies, are we making any impact with 200-300 thousand lobbying and some web faxes?
There is no question about IV effort. But the question I have is impact of that effort.
Per this article..tech lobby seems to had had its impact. Expanded H1B & reducing GC backlog ...before points system takes effect. All this of course if the CIR comes back.

Everything else looks correct, except for the above...i would have guessed that there would be a lot more in between Apr 04 and Mar 05 than just 905..?
I share your concern, there were more than 905 in that period, I don't think the DOL data sheets have any data for NOv 04 to MAr 05. I'm not sure of the source of the original post...

Any idea when the bill will be brought for dicussions?
We've received information that Congressman John Shadegg of Arizona's 3rd District (http://johnshadegg.house.gov/) has introduced SKIL bill in the house and it has 10 Republican Co-Sponsors.
John Shadegg (R-AZ)
John Campbell (R-CA)
K. Michael Conaway (R-TX)
John T. Doolittle (R-CA)
Jeff Flake (R-AZ)
Peter Hoekstra (R-MI)
Michael McCaul (R-TX)
Mike Pence (R-IN)
John Shimkus (R-IL)
Todd Tiahrt (R-KS)
SKIL bill is the same bill that was originally introduced at the begining of this year by Senator John Cornyn of Texas (http://cornyn.senate.gov/). SKIL was also merged into the Senate version of CIR thru last minute Manager's amendment. And yes, SKIL does have 485 filing provision during retrogression.
SKILL BILL's text can be found here : Text from Sen Cornyn's site (http://cornyn.senate.gov/doc_archive/05-02-2006_SKIL%20section%20by%20section%20_5-1_.pdf)
We hope to see this bill pass the House. It may have to jump a few hoops though. In order to bypass the House Judiciary committee it has to be introduced on the house floor and House Republican Leadership can do that. Its a strong possibility given the 10 co-sponsors.
However, it seems that some legislators are realizing that the reform in legal immigration to reduce backlogs is neccesary and overdue and would have to precede CIR if CIR is going to be stalled.
We will update this thread with more information when we know more.

I am wondering your logic for using "desi lawyers". They graduated through the same system as any other "book smart" attorney in the "smart" fragomen system. I think it is always a negative to go through a large law firm. An association with a large firm must not be confused with efficiency. Who knows...might be freebies which they provide to HR grp of the large firms keeps them in the picture.......................
I agree with you. Even we have Fragomen attorneys and I did not find them any great. So far I have not had any bad experience with them but they screwed up one of my friends GC and now that person has to leave US.

I am in the same boat too. But I am not sure if we have a whole 1 month to file 485 based on July bulletin.
The press release by USCIS says that, whoever falls under July Bulletin have the whole 1 month to apply. But if we dont get receipts before July 30th, we may not fall under July bulletin and so we would not be able to apply.
From what I understood, if we get the receipt before jUly 30th,we are good, or else we have to find an alternative to apply before July 30.

I agree ---- I think the momentum is slowing down...
at least can we not take any legal action for issuing out a rule (you can file MFS and get the stimuls and then amend MFJ) on 04/14/2008??? what about people who filed a long time ago as MFJ?? Because once you filed MFJ, the action is irrevocable!?! In my honest opinion, this stupidity of issuing out a clause the day before filing deadline deserves some "stir"!!
Not really, because they corrected it by allowing you to file next year instead. However, the legal challenge discussed early is still being worked on.

u cannot roll into a roth directly. u have to roll into a regular ira and then to a roth.
but the earlier statement made sense.. dont withdraw immidiately..wait till the next yr and then withdraw from ira..so ur taxes will be 10% penalty and ur tax rate at that time...which will depend on the value of ur 401k.
so if make 80k now and are in the 25% bracket and u have 80k in 401k then u ll have to pay taxes equivalent to the 25% bracket.
but if u make 80k and have 20k in 401k then u r bracket will be the lowest one.

I have been laid off yesterday. My employment ends Dec.
My 180 days expire Jan. My company said they will not revoke the I-140.
So can anyone explain the steps that needs to be taken by company B after they transfer my h1, for time period Dec thru Jan.
Can I use ac21 afterwards? and
Can myself or my wife work on the EAD that will come to our home address?.
What else needs to be done by company B.
Will we just get our green card in email.
If a query comes should I prove that I'm employed with the former company or is it to sufficient to show employment with similar position alone?
In short if the former company does not revoke I-140 and I take care of the status thru H1b transfer for the 1 month to hit 180 days, will I need to reapply for the GC?
Please advice to what you think is right based on your best knowledge.

If we are educated and highly skilled that doesnot mean that we deserve automatic benefits.
In USA, political system works on coalition. If you help others then they help you in time of need.
How many of us have helped others without thinking "what is in it for me". I have seen people who are stuck in FBI Name Check and they dont help people with F1, H1, GC issue, so when one gets what (s)he wnats, everyone else is ignored.
If we want to stay in USA, then we have to leave our sofas and help other ogranizations in their cause. you don't have to agree with everything they say, but some things can always be agreed upon.
This is what I learnt from Congressman Keith Ellison.
So be part of political process at every level..city, state, etc..
Then when time comes and you need help, you will have people behind it..

I disagree. I would expect a person to convey that they are not officially open despite the doors being open. I agree its not nice on customers part to enter before the office is officially open, but that does not mean the officer just threatens a countryman.
We should learn to respect our countrymen/women first. If I were to try to enter a business which is closed but doors are open, I can tell that someone would tell me that same verbally!
You took the words out of my mouth dude.. Lack of respect for fellow indians is something that I have noticed on several situations when I try to make friends with people especially Indians. Some, take things for granted.
Now I cannot blame them as people's behavior is driven by past experiences with fellows.. may be they suspect every other person as one of those pyramid schemes guys.. not sure.. I am far far away from those things though.
I have to tell you one thing, when ever I smiled at folks, they did return one except few who look the other way.. don't worry..keep smiling guys.. after all it costs nothing..

Guys,
Wanted to started this thread to get reviews on different law firms
I can understand the quality and committment of lawyers can make a huge difference especially in this unprecendented situation where all EB categories are made current now and now there is a rumour that it would be retrogressed back probably sometime next week with a new visa bulletin.
A lot of lawyers who are really committed and sincere to their client's clause: Getting them Green Card, are working overnight and over the weekend also so that their client can file I-485 ASAP and on the other hand few law firms are acting as slackers and not even responding to their client's emails.
Anyway, I am interested in knowing everyone's experience ( good or bad ) with law-firms and their recommendation.
My Own Case:-> I work for a multibillion dollar telecom company and joined this company almost 15 mos ago with a promise that they would start my GC immediately. Till Now, they have not yet file my labor. Their lawfirm is Larrabee http://www.larrabee.com/ in sanDiego. I don't have much experience with them as my application is still in my company's internal queue but based on the basis of my little experience, I would certainly not recommend them
Thanks
DD
I would seriously consider Rajiv Khanna - immigration.com. Very responsive, never delayed my case and answered all my questions thoroughly. Imagine this:
The best example is applying for 485 during the latest visa bulletin fiasco. Everybody in the community had a hint that USCIS may only accept a few applications for July. On the friday(June 29) before Jul 2 my missing document reached Mr. Khanna's office. Since they had too many applications to handle, the staff did all-nighters and sent my paperwork Saturday afternoon. It reached USCIS Monday July 2 at 9:00 am. Such commitment and hardwork is unparalleled in my opinion.

The H1B visa belongs, in effect, to the company that sponsors it. You cannot work for any other company on that visa other than sponsor. If this is a transfer, then, In a so-called "visa transfer" what actually happens is that the initial visa is cancelled in favor of another one issued for the new employer. What that means is OP's work with old employer is considered as "unauthorized work". Do not consider this as illegal presence, as his legal presence is controlled by a valid I-94.
you never worked for X and has been working w/o break with #2 ... u said, I believe.
Write to USCIS simple explanation and show a proof such as HR letter stating your presence on active payroll continusly for all the term and run it through attorney, if you have. Else put together logically framed chronologically ordered history. Attach W2's for the years and demonstrate un-broken timeline.
If their is nothing to hid or falsify, ... don't worry about anything. Good news is your case is active. People here ( no offense to anyone) will split hairs trying to answer simple issue. Keep it simple and truthfull and nothing adverse will happen.
I hope you assume this as a new H1B not a transfer or else your post is wrong.
As long as you have had a valid h1b peition approved for employer 1 and employer 2 while you worked for them you are FINE.
According to my lawyer there is nuthing like a h1b transfer. When someone decides to move to a new sponsor that new sponsor files for a h1b via the petition but nuthing gets transfered, they need to refer to old h1b just to prove thatyou are legal and have been maintaining legal status.
Really?
in your case Employer X did so but you never joined that employer so you are fine. USCIS can get back to that emplyer if they have not cancelled your h1b as they are liable to pay you by law. Pay him? Correct, only if OP work for them :) Employee "no show" is not considered as employer problem, han he had to cancel the H1. !:)
For real as you had an approved petition (latest but not the greatest) from Employer X but did not join them you are fine as long as you were still holding a valid petition with Emp # 2. You should respond back to RFE stating that you were maintaining stauts via emp#2 and were offered a job by EmpX which you never accepted. As a proof you should sen copies of pay stub for enitre period and w-2 + peition and visa copies.
Hope this helps!:)
Once the H1 transfer application is approved, Employer 2 is not considered as sponsor but employer X. Hence work with Employer 2 is not authorized.
Note H1 to L1, H4 to H1, L1 to H1 is completely different, it is change of status - H1 to H1 is not change of status, Correct, but its a change of sponsor and new sponsor is X.
so there is no question that you recent h1 is valid (Employer X after transfer) and past is invalid (employer #2) . I cannot agree with you more on this., but this is opposition to your earlier suggestion (see in red). Get an attorney, Good weekend !:)

My two friends are leaving.
They are completing six years. Their labour is approved. but I 140 is not approved.
They applied for their labour in sixth year.
Due to retrogression they are unable to apply for I 485 and EAD. They are working as DB2 DBA's.
They choose last option to leave the USA.
