I contacted University Y, but they said they don't keep I-20 copies that are 7 years old.
But you're saying that if I contact SEVIS, they should be able to give me a copy of my University Y I-20?

Agreed to the points above.
However my new offer is also with the same employer, just different team and location. The HR, Immigration Dept, lawyers etc are all the same.
Im not changing my company - but just the team & location.

if say 50% of people in EB-2 quota do possess Master degree, do you think after STEM - the pressure on EB-2 visas will drastically reduced such that EB-2 will be current for all the countries??
all this calculation are possible, only if per country quota is eliminated.

Hi KaylaMarie,
I will answer your questions to the best of my knowledge:
======
Hi All,
I am currently on h4 visa and have been searching for a h1 sponsorer to do h1 workpermit visa in the coming april 2009 lottery (if there is one).
I am very new to understand the rules and regulations and seek help from experienced folks here.
1) If i file a non-profit h1b visa , i was suggested that i can work immediately, is that true?
ANS: Not sure on this, but have you checked if you can get a non-profit h1 visa sponsor in your field of interest (biotechnology)?
2) If i file a normal h1b visa, now in the april 2009 lottery, is it ok for me to go back to home country after filing the visa, because even if it gets selected and approved in lottery i can work only from oct 2009 right, so what happens if i go to home country, how can i get stamping because i have not yet started work and will not have any pay stubs.
ANS: You dont need to worry about paystubs since you are autorized to work only after 1st october. You would need a stamping to reenter US.
3) I have been searching monster, indeed etc to find a sponsorer for my visa, i attended 2 interviews till now and cleared them too but when it comes to work permit they are not willing to do h1 for me. I have lost all hopes and posting here to find out if there are any companies who are willing to do h1b.
I am not in software field, i am in to bio technology and i am looking for the post of clinical research coordinator or clinical research associate CRA , CRC.
If any of you know any company which does h1b for CRA, CRC it would really be helpful if you could post me the link of the company here.
ANS: Like you yourself wrote, this question is best addressed in a job seeker forum. But You should also realise the current state of the US economy (3.6 million jobs lost so far in the last 14 months).
Good luck with your trials.

This is Off-Topic, sorry about that, but this is the best forum i could think of to ask this:
My father-in-law is visiting us from India, and he is thinking of driving a car here. He drives in India and I think in a couple of weeks (with maybe 2-3 classes with some instructor) he should get the hang of driving. Are there any risks that anyone knows of with this? (if he makes a mistake and ends up in an accident I understand that we end up being personally liable and can even be sued if there is an injured party).
Edit: This is in California
In general a person with a valid visa can drive in the U.S. provided the person is in possession of a valid drivers license. However, if he is not on your insurance policy added as a driver and causes an accident, your insurance company is not liable and can refuse to pay the costs. If he is to drive your car, ask your insurance agent about this.

I spoke with A CSR at NSC and she said she could n't confirm if the address has been updated or not since it is private information and she doesn't have access to it.
I asked her about my EAD card.
She took my reciept# ,checked the status and asked me to give the new address and said she sent request for the card to be resent.
Is this how they do it ?
So do I need to talk to IIO to see of my address is updated or not?
Thank you.

Hahha...that was funny.
You think God has the guts and come do battle with USCIS??? :)
Another bizzare behaviour with Renewal of Efile EAD....
My 2 cents is just send them what they need....they have specifically asked us not to send photos when e-filling and now they raise an RFE coz u did not send photos...
God come down to earth and save us from this atrocity....

Urgent:h1 visa holder leaving country without informing employer!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please help!
One of my friends holding h1 visa had to travel outsdie the country for a family emergency. She informed her employer at the earliest opportunity she had, after reaching India. Now her employer had filed a law suit against her, stating that it is against law to leave the country without informing the employer! Is this true? Will she be in trouble? The employer had not paid her salary for past 2 months. She is ok with not continuing her employment with this employer if they are not willing to give the pay slips, and is ok with staying in India for a while. But she is worried that, will this case cause her any issue in future, when she return back to USA?
Any valuable suggestion will be highly appreciated.
My employer needs to pay me back wages for 3 months from Dec-2008 to Feb-2009. I travelled to India in March and informed the employer about the same after reaching India. Now the employer have filed a civil case against me for contract dispute. Can I file a complaint against my employer in Department of Labor, to get back the pending wages till March from outside the country?
Please help, as we are in a difficult financial situation and I cannot pay the employer the amount he demands for contract dispute, if the court rules against me, unless he pays me my pendng wages.

I would suggest to stay with your employer and get your I-140 done through premium processing . Once I-140 done then transfer H1B with new employer and start new GC processing too.
I highly appreciate your advice. It sads that you had to go throught GC process so many times. In fact this is my third I-140 too. The first two never got approved due to silly administartive errors on employers part ( old check and job notice at wrong site) and I had to abandon them.
One of the other fix I have is : if I should leave my present job or not , as my fear of loosing job might just be in mind. I am wondering, if worse comes to worse and if I loose job with an approved I-140, will I be able to secure job with another employer and use this I-140 to get an extension. I am a Physical Therapist and EB-2 positions are hard to come by in the state I am in. I want to take the risk to stay with this employer and take my chances. But I also want to have a back plan ( premium processing I-140).I dont know if it can work. Please share your thoughts.

Need advise - bumping this up...
Many of you must have filed for their AP - can you please share with me what is the best and the safest way to get my application to USCIS?
I was looking for some tracking to know the app got delivered and do it overnight so it gets there in a day.
Wasn't sure if UPS/fed-ex delivers to PO box addresses or should I just stick to USPS?
Also, whether some kind of delivery tracking can be done on PO box addresses?
Please advise folks... Thanks in advance for your help!

Though he can sue you...there are more chances he won't do that ...it would be collateral.....
As per the agreement, you should be with your employer till your GC...ok fine...If you leave him after 180 days...suppose if he sues you....
1)You can always reciprocate in kind saying that he didn't pay you on Bench....Which will be a problematic for his company run...
2)You can also say that he don't have any development center here and he is jus forcing you to some requirement in which you are not comfortable with...
3)If he is some desi consultancy company...he would have definetly modified your resume before floating it in the market...If you take those things in the court..he will be in trouble...
Even if he wins...the maximum thing is you have to do is to work with him right...go back to him....perform bad in all the interview...take paid rest for 3 to 4 months...he himself will fire you....
rememeber DOL/USCIS always favours us and not employers....they are trying there best to reduce the desi consultacy company....single complaint will do to get the black mark...employers do know this...the reason they always play it safe...
he will threaten you...but he won't do anything...he knows its waste of money for him ....
Best of luck...

The devil is always in the details!
What is proposed for the 315,000 individuals in backlog centers? What happens to the 271,000+ cases in Retrogression? And, their families? They will all get their Green Cards with their Labor Cert, I guess!
While they are it, why does'nt the AFL-CIO also propose that the 2012 President of the USA HAS to be from amongst those who come from these numbers?
Do not mock us with these unenforceable and fantasy-filled proposals for now. Such red herrings can skew the whole legitimate debate about relief for hard-working, legal employment-based seekers of Permanent residency!
We would be all for it in principle - which EB-Visa seeker would deny a Green Card with the application itself! Something of this nature used to exist for doctors during the late Vietnam War years!
But, it has as much as chance of seeing the light of the day as the rest of AFL-CIO efforts - Democratic control of Congress and a Democratic Presidency! Heck, AFL-CIO could not even get Dick Gephardt thru half the Dem primaries with a decent show!
