50, 100 H1b's.. Are you Kidding me.. Just 22 ! Take a wild guess how much were selected ! 6 ! only 6
Thanks
Are you kidding me???????!!!!! $32,000 for 22 ??? So, per person the Attorney charges is:
32000/22 = $1454.54
Which attorney is charging that much to file for H1??
I had to edit it...since 6 of them got the H1...so, its 22 -6 = 16
32,000/16 = $2000.00 (attorney fees) I don't believe you!!! Mr Desi Company Owner.

After listening to both the shows, this week as well as last week, I am wondering if it was worth the effort for IV to participate in Debo Kotun's show. Here is my personal comments about the participants and the shows.
Debo Kutan: He did a pathetic job in moderating the shows. He not only spent about 25 minutes talking about his future shows(prior to beginning of today's show), but also repeating the same information from last week and pretty much asking the same questions. He was more interested in talking about his immigration decades ago and how he got his GC in one day, blah blah blah...Also, he mentioned that he was going to get Sen Kennedy & Sen Brownback to participate in today's show..but that was probably some publicity talk to draw more listener's to his show.He repeatedly questioned us to go back to our countries and solve our own problems and as well as theirs rather than trying to understand the root cause of the current situation. He turned out to be very ignorant of the immigration woes and did not seem like he had done any research prior to conducting his shows.
Swadha: She did a good job of explaining her situation and the difficulties she was facing due to the retrogression despite her excellent credentials and qualifications. Thanks to Swadha for her efforts in explaining her current situation due to retrogression.
Carl Shusterman: As popular,qualified and expert he is in the field of immigration, he just turned out to be very ignorant of the ground reality. I was as surprised as Swadha, when he mentioned that people with advanced degrees can get their GC's in a year. Despite having 2 advanced degree's I am still waiting for more than 3 years to be able to apply for I-485. The people most affected by this retrogression are citizens of India and China, not someone from Monaco or Namibia. He was more interested in promoting his Immigration firm and his website. Wish he had been more vocal in explaining the broken immigration system, rather than gaining some publicity for his firm.
Stuart Anderson: He did an excellent job explaining his research studies and how the current immigration laws are affecting the economy and its long term impact, if the immigration system is not rectified soon. Thanks to Stuart for his expert comments and explaining our situation in a wonderful manner.
Rajeev Khanna: He did a good job in the last weeks show, explaining our situation and the broken immigration system. Unfortunately, due to Mr. Kutan's terrible job of moderating, he did not provide much opportunity for Rajeev to speak this week. Thanks to Rajeev for fighting for our cause.
Aman Kapoor: He did a commendable job last week, explaining about IV and its efforts. But due to lack of Mr. Kutans moderating skills, he did not get much time to talk today. Thanks to Aman for organizing and providing an opportunity for IV to discuss about the legal angle of immigration reforms and the difficulties faced by people like us.
Jay Pradhan: Due to technical difficulties, Mr. Kutan could not include him in last week's program, but he did provide him an opportunity this week and explain his case. Jay did an excellent work explaining his situation, current backlogs and also answering some of Mr. Kutan's questions in a very logical manner, like the way only he can do. I wish Mr. Kutan had given more opportunity for Jay to talk and explain the broken immigration system. Excellent job Jay. Hope you get more opportunities like these to discuss about our situation and shed more light to the general public.
Overall, it was some decent publicity for the problems faced by legal immigrant community, though I wonder if it was worth the efforts due to the pathetic job of Mr. Debo Kutan. Hope we can get to participate on more knowledgable/popular talk shows and showcase our problems.

Hi
this is just my thinking but somehow I beleive that no matter how much we try explain our side of the story the issue of immigration whether legal or illegal seems to be an explosive one....so if anything has to happen then it just might happen if there is not much publicity about it. A lot of politicians might support us if it will not create a huge buzz...
lets see and hope

I totoally agree. We need to educate people who are not familiar with the legal immigration system.
For the organized efforts of IV Brand Ambassador--one of my American friend, who is a retiree suggested that I go to present at the retirement center. The retirement center he has in mind houses mostly well-off retired professionals and active AARP members. My friend said these people have strong influence because their established financial and social status--even political status.
Would IV be facilitating/ organizing on-going efforts across states to really deliver our message to American citizens?
Thank you.
Wonderlust
I also met several American citizens who were passing by and were curious about the rally. Me and JazzbytheBay explained and they listened patiently. One hour later I saw them marching with us holding flowers that some of our volunteers were distributing to passer bys. One gentleman was a school teacher.
Additionally, one of our best friends can be American citizen who understand the issue from economic, personal and other perspectives. If they become part of our voice we will become more effective.
Each one of us has to become "IV brand ambassador" and present our issue in right perspective to counter so much misinformation floated by some vested interests. Yes, you can do it. We can facilitate.

If you are talking about the discussion. then am referring to the items and not the discussions.Have I missed these items some where that are like the above. Then we are good to go. Can you let me know if the action items already there tries to encompass all thes issues and possible solutions. Ofcourse I know every one is talking and discussing but didn't see a concrete list except a description on the front page saying we are fighting for the cause of GC aspirants and some smaller descriptions.

Completely agreee with hari_baby22. Couple of days back I posted that immigration voice could get a lot more donations if they publish there earnings/expenses report online and make everything transparent. Lot of people including myself, do not contribute because they dont know how funds are getting used. My post was deleted by administrator and I got following message -->
Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
We don't think you are for real. We believe you are an agent of a for profit immigration website.
***************
This time my user account itself might get deleted....
Guys I had posted this yesterday IV is a non-profit. Check the video below - there is nothing to hide:
Immigration Voice funds disclosure on Yahoo! Video (http://video.yahoo.com/watch/234998/1863489)
The fact that IV is helping Donors is because all its activities are only possible because of Donors, and we are still short of funding. If this was for all for free, then no campaign could be acheived.
And believe it or not , we get a lot of spam and rogue users visiting IV.
BTW I am not in IV management
We need you and a lot more to join. I can't believe you cannot trust IV a non-profit organization with even $25

... Was your MS Certification in your country of birth or in USA? And if it is not in uSA did you get it evaluated in USA and have submitted evaluation cert copy along with your application?
all that stuff comes in at I-140 stage. During PERM/LC they dont care about his qualifications, its the job that is being certified.
See the audit questions again, all relate to justifications that the requirements are really needed for the job advertised. ie. when the job ad said MS+2 Years is needed, DOL wants to know why this job requires MS+2 Years of experience. His lawyer is right, a more conservative approach to job requirements (MS+0 or BS+5 for EB2 is much more easier to defend). As you increase the minimum job requirements, it reduces the pool of available candidates who can apply for the job. DOL wants to make sure the minimum requirements are really valid, and not set artificially high simply to reduce the pool of candidates.
Basically your LC sponsor needs to be able to justify all requirements posted for the job (education, experience, specific skills) else you can be in trouble.

Some employers won't provide us the receipt notices for our I-485 applications. Yeah, it is supposed to be OUR application but that's how they play this game. Attorney refuses to release the RNs without employer's permission.
If we don't get our receipt notices, can we still change employer in 6 months using AC21. There must be a way out otherwise these suckers have an easy way to bypass AC21 laws...

Are there any restrictions on accepting salary-hike or salary-drop after 180 days. If so, upto what % increase/decrease is okay while changing jobs.
Please, share your thoughts.
PS:Just before filing my AOS I had promotion offer but HR/attorney said title and salary needs to be same as in LC or else it may jeopardise gc process. The max salaray increase allowed to me was 8%.
I understand after 180 days we are free to accept 'similar' jobs but how about salary increase or worst si, if salaray drops

There would be many of us who would be able to relate to this article . I don't feel it is totally false, I guess this is the author's Memoir (partly true & partly made up ) & not his autobiography.
(made up part is what the author foresees in the future - reason given below )
- If not parents then it might be grandparents who kept waiting/hoping to see their grandson/granddaughter's children but passed away without seeing them.
- Latter part (what sounds like made up part ) is what the author saw in working/service class families in the US who came here 20 - 30 years ago (i hv myself come across such families) & believes his future would be the same - who knows it can be true for anyone ???
During youth a guy is busy in his job, is able to pay all his bills as well as save some money for vacation, which happens during long weekends or once a year , life goes by like this but when he grows older/retires & wishes to go back & settle down he finds things are not what he wants or wanted - children dislike staying/going to india , they study in a college in a different city , visit them once in a while , he & his wife r left alone & find it very lonely here. He knows he has not become a multi-millionaire & looks back & realizes he has always lived a hand-to-mouth life - BUT Is this what he wanted ? was all this worth it ?
He could never reach a conclusion & one day he passes away. Now his wife is left alone even lonelier & she has the same questions.
She visits india every year for 1 or 2 months - she likes it there. But
She cannot settle there - it will make her far from her children , She cannot settle here - because her roots are there.

Hi,
I have the same problem in Rutgers, New Jersey. I spoke to someone at the governor's office. Apparently, this residency definition is a federal law. States like CA had to pass legislation in the state to override the federal law. So if one want this to change, then there is to be an amendment. The schools are following the law.
Thanks

If you missed last time In 2008 then dont bother. You can still claim with 2008 tax filing. (If you are eligible).
Dont do these mistakes
1. File Married Filing seperately and later amend the tax return. You will do a Big mistake and many times case is screwed and you will lot of problems. I personally handle some of the cases where client screwed the case and we correct the tax return. But for CPA also is a Big pain. and most of the time IRS people will confused and you will be keep getting demand letter and they will treat as a seperate tax return.
2. 2008 payment was just a estimated payment only. This will trueup with 2008 tax filing (in 2009).
Pl consult with CPA / Good tax preparer who has good knoweledge how to handle immigrant taxes.

You need to have your old I-140 approved to port PD to your new I-140. If the old 140 is not approved by the time you file you new 140...thats fine. At a later stage when your old 140 gets approved have your lawyer send a letter to the processing center with PD porting request for the new one. At that time your new 140 can be in processing stage.
Hope this helps.
The category of I-140 from my previous employer is EB2 and the new PERM i will apply from my new employer will also be in EB2. Just wanted to know if application for I-140 and date porting can go together or i have to wait for new I-140 to get approved inorder to port priority date.
Thanks.

Try EB3. Don't spend time and money for EB2 with 3 year degree.
It is waste. You will learn this in a hard way.
Gurus,
Sorry for not mentioning in my first post earlier... Just now I received a copy of the Letter which my company received from the USCIS. It is mentioned as "NOTICE OF INTENT TO DENY (NOID)".
Reasons:
- Section 203(b)(2)(A) of the Act states
- 8 C.F.R 204.5(I)(3)(ii)(C)
These are related to the Education for 3 yrs degree..
- What is the next step ?
- What is the chance of a positive result?
Thank you,
Regds,
Raju
