After the appeal sent by my employer, my PERM case shows status as "in-process". Does it mean it will fall under usual processing times ? Can I expect a response in the coming months ? Please let me know . I would appreciate if anyone can give some info on this.

Hi all, apologies first off for not knowing all the technical USCIS lingo, but my question is relatively simple.
Situation: I am a US Citizen and I'm planning to marry a non-US Citizen in October. He is from India, currently on H1B, has the EAD, and is now patiently waiting. I don't know his priority date offhand, but I do know that he applied during all the crazy hubbub that happened in July-August 2007. (wow, it's been almost 2 years? time flies!)
Our marriage is totally legit, we've been for 5 years, living together, etc. What we need to know is, would it be better to forget the work-sponsored GC application and go for a family one? Or can he have applications for both at the same time? Would changing to a different type of application affect his ability to continue working at his current job, at all?
Thanks in advance for advice anyone can give.

Your H1B is tied to your current company. If your new employer wants to hire you, they have to file a separate H1B for you.
So your answer should be. "I need H1B sponsorship to work."

Hi
I am about to start my process for green card. Not the best of times to file, but I absolutely cant afford to lose more time. My filing would be in EB3 as I have a 3 year bachelor degree. I have a professional accounting degree also but I dont think I would be making use of it. My approach right now is of least risk.
What I am little concerned about is the designation / job code to use. Though I have worked as a Programmer Analyst till now for 8 years now with some elements of Business Analysis - my idea is file as a Systems Analyst (Onet code - 15-1051.00 ). The reasons are two fold - one, to allow me to work as Business / Financial Analyst when I decide to change my role couple of years down the line and second, to limit the number of responses to advert given present market conditions.
I am not sure if what I am trying to do has any risks. My lawyer suggests that I should put only and only those elements in advert, for which I can provide experience letters at I 140 stage. So the exact business analysis elements may be difficult to get, but I see the job description at Onet site can quite fit my profile well. (I have done requirements analysis in my last job)
Also I am wondering if I need this approach at all. Like if I would want to work as a Business Analyst later on, I could file an another labor in anycase - the time lags to get 485 cleared are so long that I can get another labor approved before I apply for 485. This way right now I can get the priority date crystallized first up and care about job role later on.
However I dont know if the other reason - to prevent too many applications by posting this job code is a pragmatic one or not.
Please advise. Thanks much in advance.

The Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill introduced in the House of Representatives would revamp the existing employment-based (EB) preference system in a number of important ways: 1) Increase in EB Numbers - The number of employment-based green cards would increase from 140,000 per year to 290,000. 2) Recapture � Currently, 140,000 persons are permitted to immigrate to the U.S. each year under the EB preference system. If less than 140,000 visa numbers are given out by the end of the government�s fiscal year on September 30, the remaining numbers are essentially thrown away. As a result, in most years, 20,000 to...

Please reply

Dear All:
I know there are numerous people who are on H4 visa here in the USA and struggling to get out of home and work. All tied up in 4 walls only coz H4 visa holders do not have the authorization to work.
Come on guys, when L2 dependant visa holders can get an EAD and permit to work then why cant H4 dependants get the same privilege ? Is this not a discrimination? Are we not being deprived of the rights that we should be getting? Are we doing justice to our careers? Aren�t 90% of H4 visa holders doctors, engineers, lawyers, MBA�s?? Are we not ruining our careers ? Are we not loosing our self esteem and independence ? are we not highly qualified and skilled to take up challenging jobs in the US ?
We all know what it is with the H1B visa. In such a scenario how can we even expect some professional life for ourselves. But are the law makers aware of this situation of ours ? Laws are amended only when they are put forward and witnessed as a problem and issue of concern. Does the US government know about this ? Does US know that it has immense store house of talent in the form of H4 visa holders ?
It has to change. H4�s should get some kinda reform else we will ruin our careers and life. If you are on the similar line then come forward and join us, in our change!!
Let your voice be heard!! Let H4�s get their independence.
Plz do the foll:
1) Visit the website � www.change.org
2) Type in �Improve the conditions of H4 dependant visa individuals in the US�
3) Register yourself and become a member � Its FREE !!!
4) Invite all your friends, relatives to join in
5) Post your thoughts, take actions, read the on going progress by members.
Together we can. So lets join hands and help ourselves.

Hi,
Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this thread.
Does 1 require a UK Visa if they are travelling on British Airways? As i have my parents travelling from India to USA on British Airways(they have Multiple B1/B2 US Visa)..
Spoke to BA &they advised me to speak to UK Consulate.:(
Any info be helpful.
Thnx
You need a UK Transit Visa only if you don't have a valid USA VISA stamped in the passport.
My Parents always use BA, and they never take a UK transit visa.
But if i use BA to visit India, in the near future i would be taking a transit visa, as my H1 Visa on the passport has expired (Using H1 Extension Approval right now)

Your I - 94 Validity cannot be at a date later than H1-B. You say you got your first H1B visa till Oct 2005, but I - 94 expires in Nov 2005. I donot think it can happen
Third country Nationals can go to Mexico and get thier Visa stamped. The only thing is if your Visa gets refused for some reason, you will have to fly back to home coutry and get it stamped.
Have not heard such cases though.

I just received EADs for me and my spouse and the validity is only 1 year! Aren't we (people whose PDs are retrogressed) supposed to receive EADs with 2 years validity?

There are easily 100000 of us here in the line. If we are all given GC's would it work in the national interest?
Specifically, there are three tests for national interest. Refer to this link for a more comprehensive explanation:
Miller Mayer - National Interest Waivers (http://www.millermayer.com/Immigration/ImmigrantVisas/NationalInterestWaiver/NationalInterestWaivers/tabid/224/Default.aspx)
1: Work of "Substantive Intrinsic merit": Basically any work is bound to have some merit, and can probably be quantified to prove that it is potentially worth billions
2: National in scope: Any work done that can be replicated all over the country and benefit a lot of people, or applied everywhere
3: Applicant should be more productive than his colleagues
Collectively, do we meet these criteria? Point by point:
1. Gather details of each and every one's project, past and present, and state the intrinsic merits
2. Include explanations on how the projects and technologies, if or when applied globally, would make a difference
3. Maybe, if you have an approved labor, this can be taken care of
And if we include all of our applications as one, and mention the economic benefits of our migrating, and submit a single application, or several as a whole, do we stand a chance of getting approved for a GC based on National Interest Waiver?
In principle, do you believe that our immigration is in the national interest?

makeup Selena Gomez Interview With
H1B_CIVIL_ENGINEER
12-05 03:35 PM
1.Did anybody have recently got H1B stamping done in Hyderabad consultate.
Yes, I got it done in October.
2. Any issues with getting appointment dates.
No. The only issue I had was that they don't let you book well in advance, which makes it difficult to plan travel. Also, I did not realize until the last minute that you need to submit your documents 4 days in advance before the interview. Luckily one of my friends told me about it and I was able to request my dad to submit the documents in time. Not sure what would have happened if I did not submit the documents upfront...may be, they might have still allowed me in.
3. I have all the documentation in place including pay stubs in the last 8 years.
Good. I have been working for 8 years as well and took the paystubs for just this year(2010) and tax returns for past 3 years. But, they did not ask anything as I was renewing for the same company for the same job. They just asked what I do for the company.
4. Is it preferable to get stamping done in Canada than in Hyderabad,
I prefer Hyd as that is where my parents live and I don't have to waste travel fares, visa fees (for canada visa), hotel, vacation etc by going to canada. I just got it done when visiting my parents. If you live close to Canada or have special travel needs, then may be Canada should be considered.
5. How many days does it take to get the passport back.
7 days total I think, including weekend.
Yes, I got it done in October.

Howmany days/moths/years will it take for us to get GREENCARD if we apply in MAY2008.
I understood no LC is required for L1A visa holders Greencard processing.
Thanks in advance.
Yours will be EB1C. You can expect to get GC in 1-2 years.
