Hello friends,
Of late everybody is talking about bad economy. I mean its all over the TV and newspapers. Apparently we are in a recession since past one year (since Dec 2007).
However, odd it may though sound, I don't see any real economic slowdown in IT sector. I mean all my friends and acquaintances in IT industry in the US and India are retaining their jobs. I recently talked to my IT recruiter and she told me that as far as she is concerned this year has been like any other years. Bit sluggish at the year end, but loads of requirements lined up for January next year.
Am I the only one who is feeling this way, or others also sensing the same thing. Maybe the real jolts are still lying in the future, in the coming year. Or may be its just a hoax. I would love to know other people's observation on this strange anomaly between what is being reported in the media, and what is being observed on the ground.
Sargon please update your profile with correct information instead of faking as EB1 from a ROW country stuck since 2003.

A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?

Actually its possible but my firm is against it. Firm is saying there are tax complications for them. If I move work location to Canada they will put me on Canadian Payroll, and will not renew H1B. They are ok with continuing GC however but if I need to travel to US then I will need to apply for tourist visa (B1/B2).

Been with Ron Gotcher for over 5 years now. Never ever had a problem. The best thing is you can talk to him or his son anytime regarding any immigration issues. I had lots of H1 issues with my current employer and he was gracious enough to talk to my employer several times and help them out without charging me a penny. I would highly recommend him.

look to see if you can reduce your monthly mortgage payment by means of "recasting". some mortagages offer this choice, some dont.
Say you are paying a note of 1500 per month, and you would like to pay 1400 per month, then assuming that you have put six months of expense aside in emergnecy funds, pay off your mortgage principal as much as you can. Next, call the lender to tell them that you want to recast the loan. Recasting means figuring out the payment as if your today's mortgage balance is what you would pay on for the rest of the period on your loan.
It may go down by say $50 dollars or sth. But thats the interest you would not be paying to the lender. Which is indeed the savings your will have. $600 / per year.
I am not an expert, just one opinion.
You have not given any specific numbers or your location etc. Hence the above is a quite generic description of what one can do
My boss recently changed and the work environment is not good anymore (never imagined this would happen), I am in a constant pressure and no job security. It's a shocker in a fulltime state job.
We bought a house last year needless to say that the prices have fallen. We are now in a dazed state as we just realised we don't have any savings, whatever we had, we made bad choices - house, 2 cars (They looked good at that time though) and put about 10% on the house.
We were planning on to invest all our savings in the house as we recently paid off our two cars and no other debts. But after reading some posts here on the housing and investment market. I am not sure if I want to put everything in the house, having my job at risk and no GC yet.
Being a novice in fianancial matters, need advice.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.

Welcome hopelessinseattle!
I live in Seattle as well.
You are right. They do not tell you likely because employers enjoy the idea that people visa dependent many times turn out to be "more productive" for the company. This is just a nuance, but I can speak from my own experience that I used to work longer hours and demand less when I was on H1B. It is a fact.
Only time will tell. There is no lawsuit angle to be explored against this as far as I know.
It is interesting what other members reported about people being in denial, even when you clarify about the difficulties about the greencard process. I had my own brother coming here and his employer talked big about greencard, etc and he started making plans to bring his wife. I told him everything we have been through and he didn't pay attention to it. In the end it turned out that his profession was not even eligible for H visas.
Good luck to us all. God Bless America.
Tito
When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?

"control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should the Senate Judiciary Committee's H1-B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view. "
Another example, of an excellent quality "formatted letter" . Notice how the politician is ,while being non-involved, looking sympathetic to your issues. Notice the open ending, suggesting non-committed view "will consider your views". This leaves room to navigate the press. Not only this, the brilliance of this letter lies in, easily blaming the other party, for having failed you.
A bill can be intiated by any member, irrespective of the party. If they are committed to your cause, it only takes a few moments to introduce a bill.
I got this Reply from Zoe Lofgren, offcourse this reply was in December 2006 when Republicans were controlling the Congress.
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate the time you took to explain the impact of the H-1B visa cap and the "green card" backlog on U.S. employers.
I understand well that the success of U.S. companies depends on highly educated and talented U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.
What we need is thoughtful reform that supports the American economy and allows American companies the benefit of the "best and brightest" from around the world.
As you know, the Republicans now lead in the House of Representatives, Senate and White House. As such, Republicans control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should the Senate Judiciary Committee's H1-B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view.

All,
This has been discussed before, but I could not find a definitive answer.
I live in Alabama and my I-485 is pending with Nebraska Service Center. Based on instructions in I-765 form, Alabama falls under Texas Service Center.
My category for I-765 EAD is -- (c) (9).
Now I am filing for my EAD renewal. Where should I send in my paper application -- Nebraska or Texas?
Would you all pl let me know. Last time my EAD was messed up big time, (wrong dates on EAD card), and I want to make sure everything goes normal this time.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks.
You need to follow instructions. It makes no difference in processing time if your I-485 application is pending in NSC and based on instruction you need to apply in TSC and Vice Versa.
In fact I think, load sharing is going on. I applied I-765 at NSC but case is handled by MSC. Don't be surprized, that you apply at TSC and case being handled by other office.

I have applied for H1B extension with my original h1 company (a consulting firm) and due to some pending queries regarding the h1b applications in general for my company, my h1 extension was in pending state with no updates. (I applied around Jun 15th 2008).
Later in dec 2008, I applied for h1 transfer with a new firm, and got a RFE on Jan 7th with similar requests... My lawyer asked me for all my W2's since 2005 (my original h1 start year), pay stubs for the last 4 or 5 months, and letter from end client, prime vendor and myself stating job responsibilities.. I have collected all this information, and they are going to respond to the RFE this week. I hope all goes well...
I have EAD to fall back in case they reject it. But seriously, I was never out of status, or unpaid (unless while on vacation to india or elsewhere).. came to US in 2002 for masters and worked on CPT/OPT for about a year before starting on h1b in oct 2005.
Looks like they are really keen about the consulting firms' benching etc., Hope we;ll all get thru.
Good luck!

You should have done this at least 6 months before your I-94 expiry date so that you could have used automatic Visa revalidation to reenter US after which you could have handed over your I-94 and left Canada by plane.
Now that you're running out of options, my suggestion is that you leave US by plane and find alternatives to transport your car. This is a surefire way to get your records updated.
Don't even bother about following up with attorneys or mailing the documents to "ACS - CBP SBU" as it's all time consuming and complicated. If the CBP didn’t update their records due to whatever reason, then the onus is on you to prove that you didn’t overstay your I-94.
Refer http://www.amcits.com/form_i-94.asp and search for “What If No One Takes Your I-94 Form Upon Departure”
Geez...you cant even abandon this country in peace. Even after you give up on your greencard process and relocate your life to another country, there is still a complicated mess of paperwork to be done - mail I-94 here, fill this form, fill that form, prove that you didnt overstay your stay, this whole new thing about Kentucky where I-94 needs to be mailed, and worst case, you have to come back again and take a plane just so someone would collect this stupid little piece of 3rd grade recycled paper card called the I-94 ? WTF ?
I'd be mad at this process and if I was leaving this country for good, and if they told me that I have to take a airline flight just so the might lords of CBP would be kind enough to collect my I-94 that they wont collect on the land border on highway, then I would not go thru that maze and mail that I-94 to Kentucky or wherever the hell is that place and leave it be.

Hello Gus
My understanding is that Sen Maj. Leader and Min leader pick senate
conferees. Similar with house. Democrats support the bill. Most of the
republicans oppose it. House and Senate Bill are different like day and
night. The bill has to pass because.
1. Enforcement and Boarder protection is highly needed and the house
really want it. If they need it they have to make some sacrifice accepting
guest workers program with slight modification etc. Otherway the CIR supporting conferees may not agree and bill dies leaving things same as now
which nobody wants.
2. Election is approaching. Most of the leaders in Rep party openly admitted
that Enforcement only bill will affect them adversly
3. Mr. Persident is a strongly supporting Guest Worker program.
4. If a enforcement only bill is pased thats going to affect the relationship
with Mexico.
I believe the House is against legal immigration too. Otherway some provisions might have survived in the budget bill. My biggest worry is that
if CIR supporters and Opposers (conferees) will be happy to remove legal immigration provisions in the in the reconcilation process and call it deal!
thanks
