If I remember my Uncle's word correctly, it was Ted Kennedy who was instrumental in relaxing (changing) the rules for future immigrants in 60 or 70's. Only then, we saw a huge increase in immigrants from India especially doctor's and engineers in 60's & 70's.
Yes you are correct. Before 1965, there were immigration quotas based on the population mix of the existing US. Therefore western European countries like Germany, UK, Ireland etc
had higher immigration quota compared to say eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America etc.
So that 1965 in some way equalized the quotas. In order to the satisfy the "anti"s in those times they kept the 7% rule and hence the speech referred above by Ted Kennedy. So late 60s onwards people from India (including my Uncle) started coming to US.
In fact in the past there have been periods of very restricted immigration to US

By the way here is the case...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Wong_Kim_Ark
where the 14th amendment (birthright citizenship) for children of illegal alien parent was tested in US supreme court.
Therefore all these rules that you see tabled in congress to deny citizenship to some US born children are pure media publicity stunts.

Hi Raj
If ur case is pending more than 30days from the processing time shown on there website ur lawyer or employer can open a service request(SR).they will send u the decision usually within30days from the date of SR.
Quizzer rd is dec2006 EB2. But there site shows they r processing feb2007 case so after 30 days his lawyer opened a SR and got response that what he meant.
Sunny is right.
The approval came after 27 days of opening the SR.

My observation... based on i140 application
My case was sent to NSC and it remained in NSC, however applications of 5 colleagues of mine got transfered to TSC... and another 3 remained at NSC
There seems to be a pattern on how they transfer cases from NSC to TSC based on last name (this is totally based on a very small specimen)... posting it here to know if it holds any water
Last name starting with A, C, E, G, I, K..... transfered to TSC
Last name starting with B, D, F, H, J, L..... stayed at NSC
any comments? again this is only based on my observation on a very small # of cases
Nope! My surname starts with H and my case was transferred to TSC. I guess if u chose a small enough sample size, you can prove anything. Isn't statistics wonderful ? :D You gotta love it!

Most Indian companies fall under the same category, it depends on what you want to achieve in your career. It might be a great idea to join a company like Satyam as a senior exec taking on offshoring strategy execution, but if you are looking for a consultant job on H1, the experience might be similar to Infy, Wipro et al. These companies try to exploit their popular brand image in India and talk in terms of offering competitive career path in the USA - but you gotta be smarter than that.
Make sure you ask for - 1) A good deserving salary along with Cost of living benefits 2) Commitment (Written) on GC sponsorship 3) Relocation benefits (if they are going to move you every 6 months, they better pay all of what you incur) 4) The customer you are going to work for and your job responsibilities (for all you know they might get you in as Programmer then make you just coordinate stuff with offshore or "support" their applications onsite; both are big time career killers).

How is the market? I want to share my history and see if the situation is the same in other places.
I work in a small financial company in NJ since 2003 in IT. They are sponsoring my gc now. It's a growing company.
At that time it was my boss, me (programmer) and an american girl (crystal reports). She left and we replace with an indian guy green card holder. Later he left and we hire 2 crystal reports developers, an indian and a russian both green card holders. Later we decided to hire another developer. Join us a hong kong born citizen. I think he is naturalized now. Anyway. Later we hired another programmer, come an indian gc holder. She left and we hired another indian programmer (i think she's in h1)
Today we are trying to hire another programmer and so far, 1 month, no one show up.
I don't know if this situation is happening in other places, but from our experience since 2003.
- there are not many americans interested in IT ?!?
- the unemployment is not affecting IT so much ?!? No one is showing up to fulfill our position now and in the previous years.
- due to visa backlogs and restrictions, it's impratical to sponsor h1 or gc.
My opinion, this a good example that immigration not so bad for US. With good immigration we would had filed our position and not took an american job.
Again, anyone seeing the same in other places...
Specialized people are not easily available.

While eating dinner last night, I noticed a pitcher and glasses set in our china cabinet and decided to try a studio shot. I used one of my wife's black dresses, hung from the light fixture over our dining room table, as a backdrop. The glasses are sitting on a lens and various bowls and cups to raise them to the levels I wanted. I used white poster board on either side to reflect some light. Light source is a single flash unit bounced off of the ceiling. Thoughts on what I could do to make the shot better, aside from spending $2,000 to buy studio lighting equipment?
Thanks,
Gary

At this point no one knows answers to you questions. We have to wait and we will see. Ultimately, USCIS could avoid lots of headaches by accepting all July applications and issuing a new bulletin for August...but we don't know, and nobody knows what will eventually happen.
There is no way USCIS can accept July applications. They said there is no visa available for FY-2007. Now how they will accept more applications? Basis on what? If they accept applications that means they had enough visa available but they did not want to process in which case the a law suit is imminent.

Dude! Just go with confidence and you'll be fine. Have all the documents with you. Have your pay-stubs handy with you.
I attended visa interview at Mumbai consulate during last week of Aug. 2010. I was asked questions on my client, my job responsibilities and was asked how does my H1B holding company supervises my work at client site.
I was also asked to show my last 3 pay-stubs. Good luck!
Thanks!
Hello All,
I heard from my employer that many people who are visiting India for H1B Stamping are getting stuck with 221G query. My company lawyers have suggested us to cancel or postpone all the travel plans to India.
Did any of you have any recent stamping experience at Mumbai Consulate? I would appreciate if you can share it on this forum.
Thanks,
GreenMe

Sid,
I am sorry to hear about this.
- What was the RFE about?
- Are you employed by a consultant or employed full-time at a company's location?
- Did your employer have any profit isseus / layoffs reecently?
- Is your employer TARP funded?
- Do you have your EAD?
I think you might be able to appeal and file from a new sponsor at the same time because I have heard that a individual can have more than 2 H1Bs at a time. But please confirm with a lawyer. Wish you all the best.
Hi Everybody
My H1 extension was denied after an RFE. They have given the reason that documents submitted by my company do not confirm that my occupation is a specialty occupation and that they had enough work for me for the next 3 years. They have given me 30 days to file an appeal
My company said there are 2 options
1) file an appeal. they are pretty confident that the appeal will be in my favor
2) have another company file a new h1.
what do you guys suggest? Can i do both simultaneously?
Help will be greatly appreciated. I have never had visa issues till now.
thanks in advance

I presume that you have a lawyer. They should work with you HR group to get the ads set and sent to the BPC.
Based on the Federal Register, the only labour certifications that cannot be converted are those that already have a job order initiated through the BPC, as part of the supervised recruitment process.

Now, Will it be a problem to get an EAD??? because I haven't completed my 9 months of treatment.
Thanks,

OK, thank you. Has anyone done this? Going from AOS to H-1B? I mean, getting into H1 status w/o leaving the U.S.?
I cannot give you an example, since I don't know anybody doing that. AFAIK, if the H1 document, does not come with the I-94, then you have to leave the country and enter to get into H1b status. However, if you do get the I-94 stub, you need not travel thru POI.
confirm with an attorney.

D. JULY EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA AVAILABILITY
After consulting with Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Visa Office advises readers that Visa Bulletin #107 (dated June 12) should be relied upon as the current July Visa Bulletin for purposes of determining Employment visa number availability, and that Visa Bulletin #108 (dated July 2) is hereby withdrawn.
Does this mean that we have to file I-485 before August 1st?. From August 1st, the August visa bulletin is effective and all the EB category dates are U.:confused:

If Company A and C are related business entities, why H1-B transfer was needed from C to A.

When you were getting paycheck from A, did you raise this issue?
Did you put this information in Employment History for I-485? What was your last entry into USA?
