Stop this... Really it doesn't help anyone..
Knowing what I know..
Here are facts that might help everyone...
For EB3
EB2 I/C will never be current without legal fixes.. Current estimated EB2 backlog is slightly less than 100K
For EB2 I/C from 2006..
Unless hell falls on us, Most of you will get green cards this year.
Now Lets get back to IV Advocacy effort and get active.. That is the the only hope for everyone...

Hi,
1. I am on L1 with current company A(with current i-94 expiring in Nov 2007). I got my H1 approval this year from consultant B and they got the I-797B. This document shows the validity from Nov 2007-2010. But I have heard people get something called I-797A which has a new I-94 attached to it and in my case it is not.
Here are my questions.
1. Can I start working for consultant B from Oct 1.(after quitting the company A with L1).?
2. What should I do since I have current I-94 only till Nov 15th 2007 and if I ask my current company A to extend it they wont do because I want to leave them as early as possible before Oct 1st.
3. Can my consultant file for the change of STATUS from L1 to H1B(the approval for which I have already received from USCIS) and then in that case it will have new I-94 attached.
4. Anyother suggestions what should I be doing so that I can start working on H1 after Oct1st here and then whenever I go back to India, after 4 or 5 months I will have the Visa stamped.
Thanks in advance.
Here are my answers, may be wrong use it at your own risk.
1. Can I start working for consultant B from Oct 1.(after quitting the company A with L1).?
No u cannot. Since u said the valid date is from Nov 07.
2. What should I do since I have current I-94 only till Nov 15th 2007 and if I ask my current company A to extend it they wont do because I want to leave them as early as possible before Oct 1st.
U have to leave the country and re-enter agin so that u will get a new I-94.
3. Can my consultant file for the change of STATUS from L1 to H1B(the approval for which I have already received from USCIS) and then in that case it will have new I-94 attached.
I don't think its possible, may be worng.
4. Anyother suggestions what should I be doing so that I can start working on H1 after Oct1st here and then whenever I go back to India, after 4 or 5 months I will have the Visa stamped.
Its illegal to work before the start date mentioned and also since ur I-94 will expire u have to leave the country.

Your concern is 100% justified, but BEC has vowed to clear all backlog by Sep '07.
When the dates move forward in Oct '07, you will have advantage with your PD.

justAnotherFile,
I am working from a reading of the actual bill text.
The student visa provision on adjustment of status says that it applies to everyone who would have been in that position if the new visa would have been in place when they graduated - i.e., it is retroactively applicable. In addition it clearly says that it is applicable to students who join an accredited graduate program in STEM to obtain an advanced degree. The contrast with Specter is clear - Specter's markup clearly mentions PhDs, where Frist's bill only mentions advanced degrees. I really haven't mentioned the 1 year provision and the $1000 provision in my earlier posts. Those are givens.
If you can tell me why I am wrong looking at the bill text, instead of from a bill summary posted by someone else, it would be a lot more helpful to everyone on this forum.
Please read section 405 of Bill Frists summary for his bill
http://frist.senate.gov/_files/031706section.pdf
It clearly mentions that the immediate application of I-140 and I-485 applies to f-4 visa holders only that too if they find a job in their field within 1 yr of graduating. and on payin $1000
it remains to be seen which category is elgibile for f-4 (only phds or more). it is possible that some current students on f-1 will be eligible for conversion to f-4.
for rest of f-1 students it simply allows for 2 yr OPT instead of curretn 1 yr.
it also implies that the labor cert exemption does not apply to already graduated MS or PhD STEM degree holders with or without 3 yrs exp.
my 2 cents

http://www.siliconindia.com/shownews/British_visa_regime_affects_Indian_nationals-nid-21278.html
LONDON: Nationals from India, Pakistan and four other countries would now need a visa to even travel through the UK on their way to a third country, the Home Office announced on Wednesday.
The new visa regime -- 'Direct Airside Transit Visa (DATV)' -- would come into effect from midnight tonight, it said in a news release. The other countries affected by DATV are Bangladesh, Angola, Cameroon and Lebanon.
Previously, nationals of these countries needed the visas to visit the UK, but could do without one if they were passing through, within 24 hours.
The Home Office cited six reasons as to why the measure was being introduced saying "there is a significant level of abuse of the UK immigration control committed by Indian nationals".
Home Office Minister Beverley Hughes said, "We are responding to intelligence that a growing number of nationals from these countries are using the transit route to flout our immigration controls and to enter the UK illegally or to make unfounded asylum applications."
He said the announcement was part of a package of measures being used to strengthen UK border controls abroad, including new screening technology and better use of intelligence to break up gangs that profit from the trade in illegal immigrants.
He also said that the UK is committed to a continued increase in the number of visitors and students from India.
"We can ensure that those who do not qualify under these waivers and who need to apply for a DATV can do so as smoothly as possible and at any of our 11 visa application collection offices across India at a cost of Rs 2,150," he said.
On why Indian nationals would need DATV, the release attributed it to the significant level of abuse of the UK immigration control by them.
It said between January to June this year there was evidence to indicate that Indian nationals accounted for 40 per cent of the cases where passengers able to transit the UK without a visa and who then sought to stay here illegally or by making an asylum claim involved Indian nationals.
Last year, around 2000 Indian nationals applied for asylum in the UK and indications were that the number this year would be even higher.
Further, during the same period some 400 arrived without any documents and more than 270 using forged documents.
Indian nationals account for the highest number of asylum applications made on arrival in the UK, it said adding that this was part of a general tightening of controls to prevent abuse of the asylum system.
There is a reason why Indians are required to take a transit visa. Coz, in the past there have been Indians (at EU airports) who have claimed that they have lost their memory, do not remember who they are, don't have any ID and hence qualify for asylum on medical grounds. Now these gov'ts are requiring ALL Indians to have a transit visa so that if anyone pulls such antics, they have all the information that they need to identify the individual and deport. Some bad apples have f&^%ed it up for all of us.

Wow, this is one of the most baseless and preposterous statements/arguments I have seen so far..very interesting indeed!!

Thanks for the clarification, Dixie. Your explanation that 'special rule labor certifications' mean that the candidate is the best person for the job, not minimally qualified, makes sense. Do you have a posted reference somewhere - a USCIS rule or DOL clarification - regarding this?

I absolutely do not agree that it will do more harm - given the current situation where every country is backlogged in EB3, and EB2 for India/China is also severely backlogged, there is very little chance that India and China can have more than 10000 visas (7% of 140,000) issued in Fy 2006 across all of Eb1/2/3.
Current System
EB1 China/India might benefit a bit because they will be the first ones to get the visas from extra EB1 visas but then, if Specter/Frist's bill passes, many of these EB1's will get a chance to file for 485 anyway.
EB2 China/India might also benefit a little bit provided rest of the world leaves something behind.
EB3 will not benefit at all as every country is backlogged here.
Looking at FY 2005 statistics is very misleading. So, the way things are, any bill is better than no bill at all - at least we have a shot at improving the status quo we are in.
Instead of just comparing current situation with future, especially when the future is so unclear, we should try our level best to achieve the following
1. Put the clause back
2. Amendment to file 485 after 140 or labor has been approved for certain time but Visa number is not available. Emphasis should be on the total wait time for GC, so that people in BECs do not get screwed.
Put all your energy and efforts in achieving these and we will not see retrogression for many years. My goal is not to dissuade people from the comparison - it is a healthy exercise, but now that we know what the pros and cons are, let us work together to solve.

My earlier offered me ticket to my home country when they let me go. They specified in letter that they are offerring this according to the law. But I think its not neccessary to have employer to send termination letter to USCIS. Actually person can request company to stop sending this letter if employer is intend to. This way employer will not going to loose anything.

Hey Dhundhun,
I have one more question.
In EAD form, Q.11 Which USCIS center and Date(s).
What date we have to write? I am trying to fill up the pdf electronically. So it is allowing me to write only one date. So it should be the start date of previous EAD or end date? or range of date like 07/11/2008 - 07/12/2009
It is not range. It is the USCIS receipt date for previous EAD application. So you have to see previous I765 application receipt. For on-line all the information will come like this:
Location where I-485 is pending: USCIS ???????? Service
11. Multiple Applications for Employment Authorization
USCIS Office: USCIS Xxxxxxxxx Service Center
Date for Application: ??/??/??
Results: Granted
USCIS Office:
Date for Application:
Results:
USCIS Office:

First one must be previous EAD based on I-485.

As mentioned by some others in the same thread: a lot of employers are also taking advantage of this situation.
i was one of those who was forced to file EB3 despite qualifying very well for EB2. The pretext is job description, although same job description has personnel applied for in EB2.
Quite a few of the EB3 crowd has had no choice, but to be herded in the slowest category to benefit the employer.
How can we highlight this?

Becoming aware of what is holding back is what I am trying to achieve. When you have such awareness, you also have the ability to change.
The proof of the pudding is in eating. I beleive we have stopped HLGs and others from stealing unused EB3 visas exclusively for one retrogressed category.

More letters = More strength for IV !
But of course....I should have been more specific with my question. I see that we are not even 20% near the target so the question is .... does IV still go with the campaigne? or do they increase deadline and try to get more letters?

That is right. But same country quota is there in EB system also. So in point system also 80% of people will get same quality of people as current system. But advantage is process delay will be eliminated.
The points system will likely result in significant deterioration in the quality of EB immigrants.
The biggest flaw of the point system as it is currently structured is that people may be able to get a green card even if they are unemployable in the US. No one knows what fraction of green cards granted under the points system would end up going to these types of cases.
As it stands today, 100% of all people admitted under the EB categories are assured of decent employment when they are granted a green card. Why should we move to a system that permits people to come in based on paper qualifications, work for low wage jobs and then after 5 years claim welfare benefits?
