Stupid question, but I am sure it is in the minds of many others -
1. When, if at all, will this be heard in the Senate given the current immigration imbroglio?
2. Will the house have a similar bill?

1) If the dates have retrogessed to 01/2000, that means that there are atleast some cases of 2000 that have now been cleared for processing and will be dealt with first before the rest.
2) It also means that there are sufficient numbers of these to have caused this problem. The numbers might be sufficient to use up all of this years allocation?
3) once these severely backlogged cases are cleared may be we can see some forward movment?
Either way this certainly adds a couple of years to the already 4+ years of average wait. Without much exact information from the USCIS we can do nothing other than start the next prediction:D
For sure legal alternatives wont help. the country cap is to ensure equal opportunity for smaller countries which dont have enough infrastructure as large countries such as India/china. We cannot expect the country cap to be removed.

:eek: what is absurd is your thought process! :eek:
Stay in line buddy, your system abuse propaganda is only going to bite you back. Dont forget you are in the same category :D
I am moderately amused by your usage of the phrase "Stay in line" :)
The ones who are not staying in line and cutting ahead are the EB3 folks who are porting to EB2 ! Their line is the EB3 line. But they want to cut into the EB2 line whenever convenient. Atleast thats how most EB2 (and EB3) folks perceive the PD porting process.
There, does that explain it in your own terms ?

Well she suggested that she had scheduled the FP appointment and said that I should be getting my FP notices in 30 days.
I am hoping that its the truth !!
If your case is in TSC then it means that they have submitted the request to schedule you. That does not mean that they have scheduled you.
But for any other center, it maybe true that they scheduled the FP for you because I have read the previous posts of people getting it within 30 days for other centers.

I dont believe in flower/food/sos campaigns to resolve this problem...just because it worked once before doesnt mean it is going to work again..have we pursued a class action lawsuit against Department of State/Labor/USCIS for unlawful discrimination based on the country of birth in Employment Based Visas. Any idea if IV core ever took up this path? Can we attempt to do this? What are the costs involved and can we get some good lawyer representation to this goal?
Absolutely we should do it. It's going to be expensive but we should at least try to talk to a lawyer first and find out if this is winnable. Lawyers can quickly examine (for some hourly fee) and determine if indeed these Country Caps are a violation of US discrimination laws. If Lawyer says we got a point to argue then we can ask the lawyer what the costs are going to be to bring the lawsuit. Thats part 2 and thats a different story. If it's going to cost something like a 100,000 dollars, we can try to raise the money somehow. or maybe we can make it part of the law suit that if we win the case, the losing party will pay the legal fees. we need to talk to lawyers first about this issue and we can do it individually.

[QUOTE=gcbikari;242385]Did you ask Attorney what happens if your employer still choose to Sue you? My friend's attorney told most of cases will be settled, but we might loose money up to 10K. Is it woth it doing? Also if we choose to fight, we might have to attend hearing (may be in different state based on your agreement). I am an employee too, and with you on this. I'd say if attorney guarentees he'll win our case we can go ahead.[/QUOTE
as per the attorney, the case history of employers who won using non competes in the court are very rare unless the law suit is agiainst key personnel and court gets convinced by the legitemate business interest. If the employer still chooses to fight, he has got more to loose than me because of non payments of wages also being involved here. since non compete has been used just to escape the wages, courts wil be more hard on the employer and will consider it as threat rather than genuine.
Did you contacted INS regarding this? Someone in my office told that one of his friend contacted INS regarding back wages. He received a phone call 3-4 months later from INS regarding his complain and was told that INS will investigate into the matter and if complain is valid then the former employer will be punished accordingly. He was told that INS has received many many such complaints and they have huge backlog and it is taking 3-4 months to reach to a complain but they are working on each of them.

I have the following questions to pick the brains of my fellow IV'ians:
1. I would like to change careers. Since I can have multiple employments, can I have 1 job which fits the LC job profile and second which is in a new career.
How I intend to do this is by consulting in the field of my current job (as per LC) and have full time employment in a different career.
This leads to my second question.
2. This has been asked before , but I did not see a good answer. Can you consult using 1099 or should you be on the payroll ?
3. Thirdly, Assuming I have to consult through a consultant and not through 1099;
I intend to use a consulting company. Since there are no consulting companies or I don't know any, in my current field of work (Automobile engineering) I will have to use a regular(read Desi) consultant. Is there any issue with this as the code for him will be different than the labor code of my present employer. I will put down that I am working as per the same code as my labor, but the employers code will be different. Consulting companies usually get a code which will say " Nature of business: Consulting-All kinds". Will this be sufficient?
All answers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Please, don't let the immigration process break you. Join IV (and us) and fight it...until we break it for a better change.

Hi All,
I have a question about invoking AC21 using EAD vs AC21 using H1B.
My status is as follows:
- approved 140 from a BIG company with BIG lawyers, but company going down.
- more than 180 days since filing 485
- H1B valid till March 2010.
- I have been on H1B since 2001
- WILL BE LAID OFF THIS WEEK.
I do not know if my sponsoring employer will revoke my 140, but I believe it should not matter.
My question however is regards to the EAD/H1B usage after revoking AC21.
I may get an offer from a company that is small with limited funding. They are not willing to do my H1B and want me to use EAD. I wanted to keep my H1B valid, but the company will make me pay for it. And given that I will have to apply for extension soon, I will have to pay for it again. So monetarily, its not good for me.
So I thought of using EAD for the new job. But if I want to get back to H1B later, i have the following questions:
1. Can I go back to H1B again after using EAD
2. Will I be subjected to the cap?
3. What should I do to get back to H1B?
4. Can I do it without leaving the country?
5. Will the financial of the new company matter. Its a valid startup and my job will be similar. I will take a pay cut, but I believe it should not matter for AC21.
6. Any other advice, anyone?
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.
regards,
ssk

Is it possible for an administrative fix at the USCIS where the H-1B worker doesn't fall out of status immediately on losing his/her job? Or would such a provision require a law to be passed by the Congress?
A grace period of say 3 months to look for a job, or to pack up and leave, would relieve the pressure on the laid off H-1B worker and reduce incidents of system abuse.
If this can be done at the USCIS, perhaps we can write to the Obudsman and also to the USCIS director/associate directors. This is an important issue in this economy. I will be happy to draft a letter.
