Not all professions can apply for H1Bs. You need to have specific skills that the US does NOT have. Someone on here had once posted that his wife could not work as a teacher although the school was ready to offer her a job, coz there is no H1B category for teachers. The H1B visa cannot help spouses in all professions. Hence my suggestion.
About how this will solve retrogression, IT WONT. My point is instead of trying to bring this retrogression beast down, maybe we should look at alternatives to work around it.
H1B visa CAN BE and IS given to teachers. That poster may have had the problem similar to mine and that is having spent 6 yrs in H4, she was ineligible for H1. Let me remind everyone that decoupling of H1/H4 time happened only 2 months ago. Therefore, if the lady in question already possess Bachelor degree (as min requirement for H1) and is otherwise certifiable I dont see a problem for transfer to H1 .
the only problem may be in finding a school district willing to file H1 WELL in advance and accepting the fact that she cannot start working on SEP 1st (when the new school year starts) but OCT 1st.

Just wondering why USCIS is neither accepting nor rejecting the July 2nd application? How long can thy hold applications like this? Can they leverage this in their favour in the class action lawsuit? Is this procrastination deliberate , considering its legal implications?
It very well could be deliberate, no rejection notices mean, the lawsuit will be weak.

StuckInMuck thanks for the awesome compilation. I have a follow-up question to the guru's on forum.
I did an AC21 before my GC got approved. I did this on my EAD card and when I joined I filed my I9 form for taxes. Now after getting GC do I need to renew my I9 form or the old one stays valid?
Also since I am not with my GC sponsoring employer do I still need to follow the 6 months rule with my current employer since date of approval?
Also can we move this compilation to IV Wiki?

Hey Tampacoolie...
With due respect ..man ..please do not highjack my thread.....please start a new one if you have a query...what you have posted is no way relevant to the one I opened...
My apologies :eek:
I have checked receipt# and it was my wife's new H1 approval not my H1 transfer. Her H1 was returned to USCIS as non-delivered and I think this must be duplicate copy status update. We had received her H1 approval 3 weeks ago. Damn this USCIS is so slow to update their records. Two many petitions in my online portfolio leads to this confusion. I wish they could add one text box next to each petition and add my own description.

"USCIS�s announcement today allows anyone who was eligible to apply under Visa Bulletin No.107 a full month�s time to do so. Applications already properly filed with USCIS will also be accepted."
This clearly says applications already filed will also be accepted. So this means anyone who filed between July 2nd and 17th will not be rejected.

could it be that ppl will not be able to sneak in with pre-approved labor now? if there is a significant number doing that, the PDs will move faster. Congrats IV on this achievement!
I don't understand the movement of PD at all.
The only way I can explain is that PD depends on approved LC before PD. Such persons can apply for GC because they are current.

I posted this before, but got nowhere (read: did not get the answer I hoped for), hopefully people with little bit more legalese can answer on this discrepancy.
According to 8usc 1153 (b)(3)A : "Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraphs (1) and (2), to the following classes of aliens who are not described in paragraph (2)".
Which means that EB3 should be getting the unused visa numbers from EB1 at around the same time as EB2, and not only if EB2 also does not need the numbers.
Is the reading that EB2 and EB3 should concurrently share the number on the right track? And if so, is USCIS rolling over the numbers in the right manner?
If EB3 were to get rolled over numbers only after EB2 is satisfied consuming EB1, the language would have been similarly worded as the last part of 1153(b)(3)A "... to the following classes of aliens who are not described in paragraph (2)".
See the following link for explanation:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4252.html
Excerpt from above link
EMPLOYMENT-BASED PREFERENCES
First: Priority Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers not required for fourth and fifth preferences.
Second: Members of the Professions Holding Advanced Degrees or Persons of Exceptional Ability: 28.6% of the worldwide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers not required by first preference.
Third: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide level, plus any numbers not required by first and second preferences, not more than 10,000 of which to "Other Workers".
Fourth: Certain Special Immigrants: 7.1% of the worldwide level.
Fifth: Employment Creation: 7.1% of the worldwide level, not less than 3,000 of which reserved for investors in a targeted rural or high-unemployment area, and 3,000 set aside for investors in regional centers by Sec. 610 of P.L. 102-395.

Calling does help in many ways. People have to think positive rather than berating an effort.
Based on the original post, I infer that lawmakers won't care if they receive calls from LEGAL Aliens. If that is the logic then why do you think that lawmakers will work on "immigration" bills. After all the "immigration" bills only benefit folks who don't vote immediately. But one of lawmakers duty is to build the next generation America, and "immigration" bills benefit next generation America. People got to understand this fundamental difference and stop being pessimistic about IV efforts.
Directly talking to lawmakers office (through phone or in person) is far more effective than Web faxes and digital signatures.
I just cannot understand how high-skilled folks can be so short sighted, Look at the big picture.
Agree with original post.
Numbers USA people are angry right wing citizens.
Calls from legal aliens who can't vote won't move lawmakers one bit. Money and votes are the only 2 things that matter to politicians.
Pressure groups and lobbyists have far more reach and influence. IV as a group can use lobbyists and other influence to get a lot more done. Individual phone calls are a waste.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD AFTERNOON GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
Dear IV Members,
If you believe that your success depends on your immigration process - whether it's the ability to file I-485 earlier or to get green-card and citizenship sooner or whether it's the ability of your spouse to work - then you have to believe that your success somehow depends on the success of Immigration voice and these 170 volunteers in DC next week.
As you may know, we are just one more week away from hosting Advocacy day in Washington DC where about 170 members of Immigration Voice will conduct nearly 250 meetings with offices of Senators and Congressmen. Such events cost money. If we have enough contributions, we can spend as per our budget of nearly $ 50,000. If not, we will have to cut back on the event spending and reduce the magnitude and size of the event.
If you are not coming to DC next week, please do your part and contribute funds to Immigration Voice. It not only finances the event properly, it instills pride and confidence in the members who will be there in DC that there are thousands of willing supporters behind them who could not be there physically but are 100% with them in their determination and resolve.

I like the idea but we should tag members who are contributing

Though most people here would want retroactive action, I think such a rule will only be applicable for applicants based on a cut off date that will be a future date.
Thats how all laws have been in past.
This is something that is most unwelcome by employers and lawyers and thats why this may have opposition. Especially those consulting companies that thrive on these things.

The web site should be sufficient in providing information of a general nature.
More specific information and details should be available to members.
That's how many organizations operate, including AILA.
It's not just about the forums, this could come with a lot more benefits.
I won't be a member at all...because if we make anything mandatory and don't let people realize what we are doing...i think people won't become member...
There are so many (lazy) people who access this site and not even bother to become member...
it is like catch 22...If u charge membership fee we will not give access to any of our forums for guests (it should be otherwise what is the use of taking membership)...if u don't give access to our forums how people know what IV is doing...
again it is my personal opinion...i may be wrong...

I called them and sent emails to local reps.
Got a question though .
We have these 3 bills in House. Thats fine. But what about Senate. There is only 1 bill in Senate. Should we also persuade some senator to place similar bills there ?
