Like most of you I watched cspan on 27th the entire afternoon and the republican from texas Coryn(sp?) impressed me as a guy who was pro eb/techies.If i remmeber he supported us during the byrd amendment back in oct as well. He spoke again byrd amendment at that time too.. We should thank him and request his support on bringing a amendment to remove hard country quota and other defects of the specter bill??
I am sure many members here must be from texas...
the other guy of intrest seems the R from kansas forgot his name. His staff guys looked desi.he introduced some sensible amendments.
kavas,
is this senator the silver haired guy ? He once asked about EB people "these are the people we want right ?
or somethign to that effect ?
I will write to him today. Do u have his fax or email please ?

Hi,
This is the continuation of my previous thread.
I got one more informal notice today sent in person to my office. The note said inspite of our notice earlier we didn't hear from you and we will proceed with legal action if you fail to pay us the loses incurred by our company.
Now I got suggestions from my friends and colleagues to consult respective attorney. I donno whom to contact i.e immigration attorney or Labour attorney in this regard.
I am badly in need of attorney preferably Indian. Please help me in finding out the phone numbers of the concerned attorney just to know to which extent my previous employer can go legally in this issue.
Please respond with phone numbers of the attorneys in California.

Guys,
On The alien # inconsistency, I have a question
In some of my documnets, EAD ,AOS receipt notice etc my A# is 'A091XXXXXX'
In my AP etc it does not have a zero. i,e 'A91XXXXXX'.
Is this OK or will it cause problems.
Lifeisbeautiful, was your A3 issue similar ?
what is AP?
The A#s on my 2 EAD are different from eachother and from the one on my i485 receipt. (2 digits are mixed up)
I got an Advance Parole last year, the A# on it was not the one on my i485, it was the # with 2 wrong digits.
When they enter the A# on my i485 receipt, another persons name comes up along with my denial information. i dont know how. However my whole info comes up in the other number (no denial info though).
I dont think that 0 will be a problem in your case. Mine seems more complicated having found out that the initial A# they gave me belongs to somone else.

From the way the lawyers talk in the video, it certainly seems unethical. Think about it from a local's perspective. I'm not surprised they are riled about it. There are definitely abuses taking place in the system and unfortunately, it hurts everyone. Immigration attornies are definitely the worst of their kind. I had one constantly equating me to an illegal alien and asking me to condone the 'amnesty' bill.
Just read this comment from a blog which shows how locals feel about foreign workers on H1Bs and outsourcing.
As far as the preponderance to hire H1B workers, I hate to say this, but the creativity and innovation in the technology fields has far diminished from where it once was. Much of the past's technological innovations came out of Silicon Valley and similar technological hubs. Yes, some of the staff even then were H1B, but most of the staff wasn't.
Once employers started wholesale outsourcing (especially software developers), both innovation and creativity practically ceased to exist. We still see new products and new services occasionally, but not near the abundance we once did and definitely without the WOW factor. Consider a time not too long ago when companies were staffed by the majority of US workers and when 'cool new' technologies were hitting the streets regularly, on the web and being shown at CES. Fast forward to today, and the most exciting thing to hit CES recently was the iPhone (a cell phone!). What is that saying?
Sure, most C-Level execs could attribute that loss of creativity to other aspects of doing business. What is the one major change most companies made? Outsourcing. The reality is, most foreign workers are not taught to be creative and innovative thinkers. They are taught to be worker bees (simply get the job done). That's not to say there aren't creative and innovative thinkers in the H1B pool. But, there appear to be far fewer of these individuals available than was available in the US worker pool.
You can experience this behavior just by talking to support personnel located offshore (won't name any countries, but you know the one I mean). These people have no free thinking skills. They force both themselves and the end user to follow a script for debugging, no matter how irrelevant or irreverent that script appears to be.
So, until the C-level execs wise up and realize that $8-20k a year workers have no hope of producing the next killer app, we're going to be stuck in this technology rut. Worse, as we wade through the dreck that's being labeled as 'innovative', all the while qualified, talented and, most importantly, creative US workers are jumping ship to other professions (and will likely never jump back).
For the execs, sure you'll save a few bucks and hire some extra staff. But, you'll run your company into the ground because your company will end up becoming and as innovative as Dell (not very). I guess the most important aspect today is the cheapest labor possible rather than quality labor. But, as always, you get what you pay for.
This argument suffers from one fact. Worker bees are needed to support the nest. without them the queen bee dies. Also today's creative work is tomorrow's casual thing - TV, phone etc ... And people innovate continuously.
CEOs are not stupid to go for cheap labour only. They are interested in the company growth. They pay top dollar for top talent to come up with new services/products. It goes both ways.

That does'nt make sense. I doubt your current employer will not revoke your H1b once you are off to B. school. Besides when you come back 2 years later, do you want to continue working at the same place, with the same job title & same salary? If thats the case why would want to do MBA in the first place.
Also if you have used 2 years of your h1b (3 years by 2010) once you graduate in 2012 you can get an H1b only for 3 years unless you have stayed out of this country for atleast 12 months before your MBA program begins. All the best.
thanks for your replies. Is there no provision to sort of "reactivate" (if I may use that word) the same H1B account under which I have my visa right now... so that my employer then could simply file a transfer petition or something. I don't know if that even makes any sense..!

Aware,
For porting of you priority date from one company to another, you need to qualify under AC21.
You many need to wait 6 months after filing 485 to do that.
Most of the reply you see are assuming that you have filed you I-485 and you are at AOS.
It would be better if you update you post if you have not applied I-485.
Since GC if for future, you can always ask company A to file I-485. You only need to be employed with them at the time of adjudication of your I-485.
Note: This should not be assumed as a legal advice, its only based on my understanding of the GC Process.

Not eligible at the current time? If your circumstances change and you become eligible after you file your 2007 federal tax return, you can always file an amended return using Form 1040X. File the form after April 14, 2008, and allow 8-12 weeks of processing time before making any inquiries about your payment. See a sample with instructions.
http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179211,00.html
No, you cannot file an amended return for this purpose since the numbers will not match. You must file on you 2008 return.

WD make no mistake I will be there with you marching esp since I know you're sweating so much to get stuff done in Michigan- it's just that DC is very different from Detroit. I was dragged to a march in DC by my friends when I used to live there for some cause I can't remember - it was almost a festive atmosphere and it's done all the time there. DC folks are used to it - they dont mind it so long as the beltway isn't jammed. Detroit - if we do some groundwork first and then do a march i'm sure it will win over some public opinion otherwise the outcome is up in the air - not that we shouldn't try with an uncertain outcome

Yes, Germany still has a very outdated system. I think though that now children born here to foreigners can, in time, adjust to be Germans, but this is no birth right. I also heard that what Germany calls Green Card is in essence something like H1B, with no way to adjust to permanent residency. That is why it is no big success. Some conservative politicians campaigned on xenophobic remarks like "Kinder statt Inder" which is "kids instead of Indians". They meant that Germans should make more kids instead of allowing immigration.
In terms of divorce and immigration, Germany is as bad as the US. I think they may now not necessarily deport a divorced parent, yet without work permit this amounts to the same thing.

It is not an outlandish idea.. Canada already does exactly that, count the time of legal stay prior to residence approval towards the citizenship waiting period.
We can argue it doesn't break the purpose of the citizenship waiting period. That period is mainly imposed to prevent a foreign nation from quickly planting agents serving its purposes in the US, or having new voters who are not familiar with US politics.

I am stuck here and am waiting my H1-B stamping (first time) and I do remember the visa officer telling me that if I wanted I could've taken the passport with me and when my case was cleared they would send me an email informing that. Since I don't live in Delhi I told them to keep the passport with them. Now my question is: Can I get an AP while in India? Because in that case I could go to the embassy, get my passport, and then go back to US using AP. And I could easily mail my passport to VFS through fedex when they ask me to do so.
I hope I'm wrong, otherwise it would be a bummer 'cause I have been stuck here for almost three months now.
I believe it is illegal to mail your passport across international borders.
Once you enter US on AP, you either give up on your pending visa at US consulate or return to India to get it stamped. However, it is not very clear if your H1 remains intact after you return to US on AP, so it may not be worth returning for stamping.
Besides you cannot apply for AP when you are outside US.

Venkatpati-
What dard e disco is saying is that CEOs and companies are only addressing their short term needs and only addressing their needs. Longer terms they are insensitive to people who come here on H1. Increasing H1 quota helps companies and it also gives opportunity to those who come here. But think about their future when they are here? What next?
good point. corporations only think of themselves and their bottom lines.
There is little hope for GC if H1 quotas are significantly increased but GC quota is not addressed. Who does it help? It helps US companies stay competitive but does it even help the new guy? It will bring down the wages for sure but more people will be living like second class citizens. So does anyone win here except companies? I am pretty much open to competition provided there is a level playing field and those who perform are better rewarded.
good point. In fact increasing H1 quota without increasing EB quota is going to have a disastrous impact on the GC waiting period for Indians (since many H1s go to Indians and they will all end up in this already long GC queue)
Now if you are a guy who is in the beginning or mid stages of career and you spent 3-5 years on H1, how long do you want to continue living without GC?
Plus then it should get stiffer for you because you will have got raises and new guys would be cheaper for companies. Think about it from this angle as well.
true. also, once you are past the 6 years on H1, without GC, if you have not even filed your 485, you are potentially stuck with your employer as well as job for ages to come...
