I agree that EAD renewals will take longer than usual because of our sheer volume. And there is no interim EAD. Do you guys think its safer to be on H1B (mine is valid till 2010) rather than EAD/AP?

My employer has made me an account signatory in one of his other company(a sister company of my H1company), so i can take the money out for travel expenses. Is that going to create any problem? I have my regular pay check coming from my H1 company.
I don't want to judge you; but...
This is an example of how people are creating problems for themselves.
Let me guess; you started a company and made it a layer between the h-1b company and your vendor. Your company receives the billings and you withhold xxx dollars so that your employer takes a % on less of a billing rate and then you take it out tax free from your company?
This is one of the reasons why the anti immigrants and people against h-1b believe that wages are being driven down because of the games that people play.
LCA says $60,000. Your billing rate is equal to something like $125K per year but you want to run salary at $60K and take out rest in per diems.
Guess what; per diems and expense reimbursements for those working at staffing companies is not allowed within the law. The only reason your employers even pay you this is becasue if IRS asks they will just make it taxable to you.
In the LCA's that the senators, anti h-1b people look at; it looks like you guys are really getting paid $60k for a position that normally gets paid $100K. Your package may actually be $100K but on paper it is $60k.
If only people followed the law then there wouldn't be much argument at all that h-1b is driving down salaries.
-----------------------------------------------------------
To answer your question; Every time a person opens up an account; the information gets transmitted to Washington and checked against the anti money laundering database. There is now a record related to terrorism related activities. It appears that USCIS has access to it. Whether they analyze it correctly; ie; is it a brokerage account, personal account, company account, etc., I don't know. However, there has been some cases where the only way USCIS could have known about it would have been through the anit money laundering database. If they were able to capture it for a couple of people that I know of; then you can believe that they have it for everyone.
Now; in my personal situation; it was part of my job to be the account signatory on mutual fund bank accounts. I was probably the signatory on 400 different companies but it didn't come up in any USCIS check. This was a long time ago before all these databases were synched up; so things may now have changed.

Now that the initial send flowers campaign was a success, can we think of a second round of flower campaign? This time to Ms. Rice.
If this is a good idea, let us collect money (from as low as $1 to as much as you want to contribute) and send flowers from a common point? May be we all can pay IV specifically for this purpose. IV can then order flowers from a vendor and negotiate a better price.
The advantage of this approach is that even people who would not want to spend the $30 bucks can contribute what ever they are comfortable with. Even $1 would help. I am confident that we can raise atleast $10,000 for this effort. $10,000 would translate to 10,000/30 = 350 flowers. We could target July 25th (15 days from now) as the last day of contribution.
Cheers,

I think it is still June 29 2007
so TSC processing time actually retrogressed this month by 8 days if it is at June 21. For times of April, it shows that they are processing June 29, 2008.
what is going on man. when will they get to Aug 7. but then again, if EB3 is not avaialable then what si the point.

Mindblowing. Do people really believe the Oct 2007 deadline? Haven't we seen many deadlines come and go? This is extrememly unfair to those stuck at BEC; don't go around spreading this impression that the BEC issue has been resolved.
If indeed the majority at IV believe that BEC is not a problem, then it would not be a stated goal of IV. Let me repeat, so long as it is listed as a goal, it is the moral responsibility of all of to support and work towards resolving the issue.
This is important. Don't just pretend to support IV and play down what matters to others. Your must support all the goals we have at IV and not pick and choose what you like.
Also please don't repeat the false logic of "labor certs will be taken care of by PERM." If that is the case why would we at IV have BEC resolution as a goal? The least you can do it not try to dilute the seriousness of the BEC issue, even if you don't care much about the problem.
anai,
Resolving the BEC problem is definitely one of IV's main goals. There is no way I will believe in DOL's claim of clearing all the back logs by Oct 2007.
IV has had a number of discussions with lawmakers and administrative officials, first to understand the issue and next to solve it. From our discussions, it has become clear that the lawmakers still view this as a temporary problem and are not willing to legislate for getting any more into this. Never the less all of them did agree that the efficiency of the BECs left a lot to be desired. So we were working a bi-partisan coalition of lawmakers who were willing to put pressure on DOL and USCIS on the need for efficiency and transparency.
All of this was before the crazy pace with which the Comprehensive Immigration Bill began to move. We do have to realize that this bill is a golden chance to have our provisions in place and we have less than 2 weeks to works on it. Frist wants either of the Immigration Bills to be passed before Apr 7th. If we do miss out on our goals in this bill and this bill gets passed, we will not be able to revisit our issues for a long time. So right now a lot of the attention is being given to it. This does not mean that BEC is forgotten. Hope you do understand.

How can you judge God's intentions when you don't know Him? Can you prove that God does not exist?
a 20 year old girl had injuries because of acid attack on her and she was in hospital praying god to save her life.But she died finally(http://www.hindu.com/2009/01/01/stories/2009010150460100.htm).
If god exists , he/she should listen the prayers and save people.
This is just one example.There are millions of incidents which proves that GOD doesn't exist.
It's just out belief that GOD will do some good for us.
problem is that if we believe in GOD , we'll start living with false hopes.
No Hope is better than false HOPE

Guys,
I have once again sent 6 letters by mail to 6 members, but I would like to send to more by email. Can somebody please direct me to how to get those or if you have, please paste it here so that we can start sending emails also.
We must bump up our efforts as much as we can before the Oct bulletin comes out, but EB3 needs to do better. There is not much difference between the two categories when it comes to skill EB2 or EB3. As all of you know, the system is broken. There are Masters degree holders in both categories and experienced categores in both. Not long back we saw Eb3 doing better. This is not right guys,. Lets work together.
EB2 guys( those who do not want to support EB3)::
What will you do, in EB3 shoes, if the numbers are not moving in 2-3 months. You got it. MOst of them will change to EB2, right. I will too. I am sure you can imagine the scene then. I know 8 of my 15 friends have already jumped to EB2. And I am sure they have much higher priority date than most of EB2s there. So you know what to expect. Lets ALL support for the common cause.

There has been time check used to be payable to:

Now at some places it is shortened to:
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
And at other places it is shortened to:

I think, they are interchangeable.
On USCIS site: Fees should be made payable to Department of Homeland Security or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. refer to first dotted instruction of http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD
It does not talk about putting US in front of Department of Homeland Security. Going exactly by USCIS instructions, lawyer did mistake - but it is OK.

1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank or

Stoppers idea is brilliant and should be done on a big scale. It will convey a strong message and will be in news.
Yeah.. what next? shower caps? then groceries? C'mon man. Overdose of anything can be detrimental.
Just conveying a message is not sufficent. It should be the RIGHT message in a proper way. Flowers was good, because it was the first time something like that happened and it was unique.

I just renewed my DL (9/06) at a local DMV here in NJ, I brought with me my bank statement/insurance, SSN card and EAD card. A nice lady just asked for my SSN and EAD. The whole process took 30 minutes. My DL has one year expiration. I am just waiting for my GC so I can go back and get a 5 year DL. Cheers.

Green Tech, There is a history of posts with buddyinfo alias buddyinusa alias buddyinuk etc etc. This guy has a background of sounding like someone from India, and attacking specific community, pitching one against the other, which it typical terrorist mid-set. The other day he pretended like someone from north India and attacked people from AP. He was also supportive and sympathic towards terrorist who attacked Mumbai on 11/26. Based on that history, I read between the lines whenever he post, and I see it in that light. Others in that category are sab and gcisadawg. I hope it explains where I am coming from.

Bill rate? 70/30 basis?? Contract??? I would like the OP to report his employer to DoL. DoL and USCIS will kick both the OP and the employer. It is easy to get carried away saying that the employer is blood sucker etc. But very clearly, you should know that there can't be these kinds of contracts on H1. The employer knows that people who go to them are on thin ice, and so does the employee (employer is there to do business -- he is not running charity).
Maybe you guys want OP to go to DoL so that both the employer and OP get kicked out of this country (that is good for all of us) due to obvious immigration fraud.
To top it, OP goes on an offensive when people point of the bitter truth to him. This site should not promote illegal behavior, anybody seeking advise on these topics should be severely castigated, because they broke the law too (and they know it, just dont want to admit it). Or maybe we should encourage these people to report to DoL so that all of them can be punished for misusing the laws.
While I did not suggest him to go to DOL. Let me tell you that working on hourly wages is legal on H1. The best solution is to find the job quietly. How do you know how much is his employer making and what he has got? There could be very significant difference.
