Your lawyer is cheap. I paid 7500 for 1 labor certification.
Question for you. What USCIS fees did you pay. I don't recall any USCIS fee on labor stage.
I think your lawyer is screwing you. $7,500 just for labor certification.

I had sent an email to rags months before about this friend. He decided to become an expat and move to India while his GC still languishes in the labor stage. He is an engineering manager who works for one of the big oil service companies (Think of word association with the Vice President). He would have been invaluable to this country as the country tries to become more self-reliant in the energy sector. Instead, he now lives in India and services oil wells in Russia. How is that for loss of competitiveness (loss of his service as well as his tax money to other countries)!

It would be good if more of you PhDs visiting here would post and share your ideas about what we should be doing to further the PACE amendments agenda. Regular posting by you and others will bring up new ideas and more importantly, keep up everyone�s motivation to see this thing through. Once postings and interactions reach a critical mass, things will pick up momentum which will see through the completion of our agenda. So please register with IV and post here, and also make yourself aware of the broader goals of IV and how you can contribute to it.
Your ideas and posts need not be rocket science (although some of you might be rocket scientists : ) , but just a few words of encouragement or organizational ideas or just about anything- this will help and motivate others who come here. More postings will encourage still others to post and things will pick up momentum. This thread has had 654 page views but only 1 response!! Those of us who know about the S1932 bill and the campaign to get it passed in December know how effective a forum the internet and a site like this can be. Calling or e-mailing among ourselves cannot substitute the public reach and penetration of the internet, so its imperative that we keep this as the primary forum for information exchange.

Chandu, here I found the LINK (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html)
"When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued."
Redgreen, please read :)

USCIS is trying to make EB2 all countries Current sometime during FY 2009. Of course "a few" 2004, 2005 cases will still be pending past Oct08 but hopefully not too many.
If EB1 and EB2 are shown as current soon, then the DOS can transfer the so-called "spillover" into EB3 ROW, then into EB3 IN & CH.
Based on available numbers, EB3 India / China will see rapid movement in dates April 09 Visa Bulletin onwards.
What will happen during 2009 in all likely hood is the following,
Almost all EB1 spillover will go to EB3. (~ 25k)
Some of EB1 and all of EB2 spillover will go to EB2 IN/CH (~ 10k to 15k)
In 2009, there will be no more Name Check delays - therefore expect rapid EB3 approvals after April 09.
From VB
"Third: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide level, plus any numbers not required by first and second preferences, not more than 10,000 of which to "Other Workers". "
First, your scenario is overly optimistic . Even then EB3 can use a max of 10,000 of such visas and pass on the rest to the other workers category.
Which basically means Eb3s with PDs> 2004 will get screwed even in a very optimistic scenario.
Worse is Eb2s do not have such a cap . So not a drop trickles down till Eb2 is completely satiated.
Assume HR5882 gets signed by president and visas are distributed according to current laws .....Eb3 will get some benefit but not much. Infact everyone other than Eb3 will get maximum benefit including famili-based, other workers etc.
Moral of the story - Eb3s with PD > 04 ....port to Eb2 ...if you can...now

Scythe - that would mean that the three tied entries would get around $85 dollars (150+100 divided by 3), and that seems a bit unfair considering second place is $150 and third place is $100.
I'll get the poll up right now. It took me a little longer than expected because Temp poked me in the eye with his poke.

along with all the great work being done by IV, I have to admit, the one annoying thing that we have to contend with is the wild speculative rumors that spread like wildfire... can people please stop spreading these and just wait a few hours for the announcement....
rumour on what seems to be a rumour. What IV has said is still a rumour until an official statement comes out. Pls grow up fellas, if you think its sensationalism, well aren't we having a roller coster ride for past month now..
and yet i hate to remind ppl, this is what the forum is for. If IV, Oh Law or anyothe site puts such news..its sensational already. cmon cut the crap. speculate as you wish..but speculate intelligently..

I didn't send a certified mail but I have a reply to my email saying that they didn't received the statements from the Insurance Company and we can still report those missing wages without a W2 from the company.
Can we use this as a proof of contacting employer requesting for a corrected W2?
Or
Do you still recommend us to send a certified mail? so, first thing Tuesday morning I can do that.
Yes, make sure you give your employer the benefit of doubt by sending the documents via certified mail and acknowledgment received/delivery confirmation.Make sure you mention that you need it amended to file for taxes and will be forced to report otherwise. Follow that up with an email via delivery confirmation option to make sure its been received. If nothing happens from your employer in consultation with your tax consultant file a complaint.
good luck

Can we do something about this.
Maybe we can go to a federal court saying it is discriminatory and get a ruling to that effect. This would stop "any" state from coming up with such legislation.
Many states have such rules. We need to deal with at a national/federal level.
We have too many items to worry about. DL should not be one of those.
In this country one cannot work without a driver's license. It is a matter of human rights. When USCIS gives us work authorization that has only 4 months remaining on it, a state ( Texas ) cannot say that I am not eligible to drive in this 4 months.
There is some disconnect here.
Isn't it something similar that happened when Gandhiji was thrown out of a train is South Africa. Gandhi was discriminated based on his color. We are being discriminated on immigration status for our right to work.

rsk73, your job decides if you can get in to EB2 or not. if you are working for MNC and apply for PERM, the current market is bad and they will ask you to wait for 6 more months. so, I don't believe this is a right time for PERM application - my 2 cents
P.S: normally, these kinds of EB3 to EB2 porting questions are a little sensitive in the forums but 12th year H1B.. damn.. you are surely qualified for EB2, problem is, your job should. All the best...
Hi All,

I have applied for Advanced parole at the end of July 2007. My H1B visa is expired, but my H1B petition is still valid. Should I just take the risk of traveling and try to get H1B visa renewed to re-enter ?
OR should I just keep waiting for Advanced Parole to be approved ? I can wait until end of November 2007. But I am not sure whether I should plan to travel in Dec 2007 or not. I dont know how long its going to take to get the approved AP.
Any thoughts ?? Do any of the July filers who have filed for AP know what time frame should we expect for approval of I-131 (AP) ?
:confused:
Thanks in advance
This is a million dollars question on everybody's mind. Although the books says you can, I bet no body will take the risk.
Nobody can predict when July filer will get AP too.

My LC and I140 approved (PD: may 2004). Applied 485 on Aug 8.
I became father last month.
My new born son is sick and he needs total attention for next 4 months. I have used up all my vacation and planning to apply for medical leave. Pediatrician recommends me getting medical leave and support my wife.
I work in a very big hardware company. I have completed 3.5yrs in H1B so far.f I apply for medical leave, I may get a pay cut (like 20 to 30%). Will I be affected because of this medical leave? Are H1B's allowed to take medical leave (upto 4 months)..
Your comments are very much appreciated.
thanks
