i have a fan following...yay
and i will keep writing "lower case i" coz it bothers you so much :D:D:D
Guess what the latest news is :D:D:D
gctest is a perfect jackass, think he is also a complete fraud.
If you look at his posts, initially he said despite holding a doctorate and being around since 1996, he is EB2. So far so good.
Then he says his dependents got approved on his EB2, while his case is rotting (????:D)
The story changes dramatically after you point out if he is the real cream of the crop, he should have been easily qualified for EB1.
The latest, breaking news is that he's from a top-notch research univ and has approved 140 in EB1 but still he's gonna fight for what's fair and against what's unfair (:D:D:D:D:D)
Everything is made up, because the story changes all the time, when you attack him. I think the truth of the matter is he's EB2 and he's lying about EB1.
His case never ever qualified for EB1 (publishing some academic trash doesn't qualify you for anything, see my earlier post on this thread regarding this), so he's completely sore and has lost his mind.

The $5 fee is for giving someone a negative rep point and not for wrong answers
Paid membership irrespective of the amount of payment will drive away the people. With all dues respect to IV, there are defintely other places where you can get good(if not better) information for free.
Strength of online communities is always the members...the higher the members the better.
Having said that, I kind of disagree with the punishing the wrong answers with a $5.00...most of the answers in these forums are people experiences and they are not legal professionals. People will not be able to share the experiences openly/freely. I think, it's the responsibility of the questioner to pick the right answer and donate for the value that he/she deems the question is worth.
My thoughts...anyways..

Should I say that all of you those who bought homes and are having a life bought a home with 0% down and interest only loan so that you can save your taxes now and if your GC does not come through in 5 years, you will walk out with out any loss as you made hefty deductions and haven't paid single penny towards the mortgage and simply go to Timbuktu or Krakovia. I will not!.
Thanks for calling me a hypocrite with out reading the whole answer. I was just giving a hypothetical example on how one can talk about others life and practices in life sitting before a computer. Thanks for your clarification on whom you considered XYZ because lack of GC has stopped them from buying a home. I will respectfully disagree with your opinion that GC is not a non stopper for every one and there is a significant contingent out there who dont want to buy a home without a GC and consider it risk. Opinions differ and yours is taken. Again, You in the above hypothetical example does not refer to any one in person.

GcSoon-Ihope is from France. I thought that retrogression is mainly for India with some effects on China, Philipines and Mexico.
Please explain why bulletins are applicable to you. Thanks.
Merry Christmas!
Congratulations for the GC. You have a very compelling ordeal and now you deserve the best.
It doen't matters where he is from France or any other other country. The truth of the matter is, this is what exactly happens to every HIGH SKILLED Legal immigrant in this country. Some may go thru less others more...but this is tragedy of the system created by the 'worthless and clueless politicians of USA'.

I wrote letters to Charles Oppenheim who release the VISA Bulletin about not using the VISA Spill Over.. I think this is the best option today to make a lot of noise by writing letters and there is a good chance that he will take notice an d release the spill over.... I urge all to write 2 - 4 letters to him ASAP so that we can see some action before next bulletin...

if a background check reveals that you had been on H-1 you won't be eligible for Z visa. You have to come up with a new face, new name, and new ID. Looks daunting but less daunting than getting GC legally.

Here are the answers -
You have H1-B I-797, You may have H1-B Stamp, Your I-94 says H1-B, Therefore Your Status is H-1B, Your Work Authorization Document is H1-B.
You file 485, You file for AP and EAD, You get AP and EAD, You haven't used either yet.
You exit USA, You return to USA using AP.
Your I-94 now says "Parolee", Your status now in USA is "Parolee/Pending AOS"
Your Work Authorization for SAME (continuing) employer is H1-B
A.K.A. NO NEED to use EAD.
There is NO SUCH THING as H1-B Transfer
Every H1-B filing is a new one, USCIS checks if
1) You have valid remaining 6 year period at the time this new H1-B that they have received AND
2) You have been counted against the H1-B before in the last 6 years or not.
So now after I-94 says "Parolee/Pending AOS", You CAN
A) Extend your H1-B with the SAME EMPLOYER provided you have time left in your 6 year window
OR
B) File a new H1-B with a DIFFERENT EMPLOYER provided you have time left in your 6 year window AND you are counted in the cap
OR
C) Move to this DIFFERENT EMPLOYER WITHOUT filing H1-B by using your EAD.
in scenario A) your status CHANGES from "Parolee/WaitingAOS" to H1-B with SAME EMPLOYER once you receive your new I-797 that has I-94 at the bottom, you keep working on current H1-B that is being extended
in scenario B) your status CHANGES from "Parolee/WaitingAOS" to H1-B with DIFFERENT EMPLOYER once you receive your new I-797 that has I-94 at the bottom, you start working on new H1-B receipt notice until that gets approved and then on the new approved H1-B
in scenario C) your status STAYS "Parolee/WaitingAOS", you start working on your EAD which is NOT tied to any employer.
Many people FEAR that they should CLING ON TO H1-B "just in case" 485 is denied. Well that fear is not well placed since if your 485 is denied at any point in either scenario A) or B) even though you may remain "IN STATUS" you probably have run out of 6 year clock by then. Conversely, in scenario C) in case of 485 denial, even though you may temporarily become "OUT OF STATUS" you can immediately file H1-B with the working or a different employer to get back "IN STATUS" if your clock has not expired by then.
between scenarios B) and C), scenario C) is simpler and easier as long as the job is same/similar if you are using AC-21.
Hope This Helps.
very good information. Thanks add78.
Small query. If I am in my sixth year of H1B today, and if I file for H1 extension,
1. with same employer, I actually got 3 years extension. (being 140 approved)
2. with diff. employer, would I get 3 years or just six months, or not at all?

Sometimes I think of going back
Try to gather the courage that I lack
But the world I left is not the same any more.
And the world I am in, has lost its lure.
I am on the crossroad of my life
One is forward, one is left and other is right.
I don�t like the choices shown
May be I would have to create a world of my own

Thanks

Like many other technology forums, you need to be a paid member to see any premium content, else only part of the message is visible...that makes every one a paid member...we can have a similar setup to see a senior member post...that way every post from a senior members will generate revenue and in turn more money for lobbying!
Eg: www.dsxchange.com, this site used to be a free site a couple of year ago; as the content grows members too soared in no time. Now, it is mandatory to pay yearly to read and ask/reply seniors members posts, else u will only read junior member posts.
We are 25k strong! Just to remind, Microsoft bought hotmail paying millions not for the lousy hotmail software, it is for the huge members that has already signed up by then.
In our case we have to make things mandatory for obvious reasons. I strongly think the word donation/contribution doesn’t work, if it could have worked we wouldn’t have this discussion after so many requests. It is time to make things mandatory, please :(.

Please stop H1 Vs L1 discussion and do not support those who aim to divide this community on various visa types, categories, nationalities etc. Any further attempts by any member in this direction will result in ban. We would appreciate if you read the bill posted by IV and provide some analysis on its content on this thread.
Pappu,
I went through the text of the new bill vis-a-vis current INA and compared the old and the proposed act. Here are the findings -
Section 101 - This spells disaster for all H1Bs in consulting companies (as FT or C2C) -
by striking clause (ii) of sub-paragraph (E) of the section 212(n)(1), and then adding the new clauses under (F), they are PROHIBITING placement of H1B employees on another employer's site, period. This will affect NOT ONLY pure staffing (desi or non-desi) companies who place their W-2 H1B employees at client site, BUT ALSO big consulting companies like IBM/ACCENTURE/DELOITTE et al. No placement/leasing/outsourcing/contracting for services or otherwise at another employer, period - UNLESS a waiver is obtained, which will mean every company will need to obtain a waiver in order to do so, EFFECTIVELY ENDING ANY CONSULTING BY H1B.
Section 102 - This spells disaster for all companies who's H1B+L1 > 50% total employees
by inserting two new clauses (H) and (I) in section 212(n)(1), it prohibits H1B only or H1B preferred advertisements and prevents any company that employees more than 50 employees to submit NEW H1B/L1 application IF the total number of H1B and L1 employees exceeds 50% of its total employees. It also requires ANY company employing even a single H1B employee to submit W-2s of IRS. This affects ALL Indian IT companies like TCS/WIPRO/INFOSYS/COGNIZANT et al.
remaining sections (103 onwards) are more about enforcement and investigations.
Section 201 - This spells disaster for companies that bring in workers on L visas
This also affects ALL Indian IT companies like TCS/WIPRO/INFOSYS/COGNIZANT et al. AS WELL AS some other companies that might bring in workers from their home country.
IN SUMMARY -
In the SHORT RUN, this hurts outsourcing industry, as they need more time, and H1B/L1 resources on site to transition the work offshore, but I agree that in the LONG RUN, it will GREATLY BENEFIT AND INCREASE OUTSOURCING.
That will indeed be a sad day. Grassley and Durbin are trying to cut the branch they are sitting on. :) This will have the exact opposite of their desired effect.
Hope this helps.

I saw somewhere on other site clearly mentioned that once 485 is rejected, H1B extension based on pending 485 also becomes invalid. If a person keeps working, it it considered as illegal. I do not have link right now, but I guess I found it on some lawyers website, posted link on IV in some other thread.
I don't think this is true. But you put a seed of doubt in my mind, I will confirm with my attorney :)
