Showdown on Immigration
Marc Cooper
The good news is that after twenty years of inaction and demagogy, the US Senate is considering sweeping immigration reform. Behind that effort is a bipartisan consensus that grew out of a confluence of disparate factors: On the right, American business, desperate for low-wage and unskilled service workers, was clamoring to legalize the immigrant labor market; on the left, organized labor and liberals wanted an end to the illegal status of so many workers. And the sheer number of illegals now living in the United States--three times as many as a decade ago--demanded that something be done.
The bad news is that after arduously fighting its way to the top of the national legislative agenda--Senate majority leader Bill Frist fixed March 27 as the deadline for the Senate to come up with a bill--reform now threatens to be dead on arrival. Intransigence by the Republican right and a failure of nerve by Bush may have doomed a tenuous, years-long push to rewrite a current policy mired in denial and hypocrisy. "We may be on the verge of seeing the Republicans do to immigration what Hillary Clinton did to healthcare in the 1990s," said a prominent immigration attorney. "Set it back several decades."
(The ugly - expected to drag till Nov 06 - this line is my comment)
No one is willing to guess what will come out of the Senate process, no less out of any conference measure that would have to bridge the gap between the Senate and the draconian Sensenbrenner bill, already approved by the House. And if the process drags on closer to the November elections, chances for significant reform will dim considerably. Republicans, and especially the President, will be reluctant to further aggravate their internal party divisions. And even if Bush regains his confidence in pushing for reform, will Democrats--with their eyes now set on winning in November--really be ready to line up behind him?

London does not accept travellers with AP. So Virgin Guys had to turn me back from their counter. I was sure about Qatar having no issues about AP so I went back to Continental and said I need you guys to put me on Qatar and thats what they did.
my opinion:
AI : I love my india , but will not fly AI , because I dont want to take chances with once a year vacation I get.
BA : They are prompt service folks , but I cant tolerate their attitude.
Luftansa: Again good, but cant take the attitude.
cathay/singapore/korean/Arab emirates: Nice , can bet my time and money for my travel on them
Others : I dont really care.

he has said something similar before during the debates but there is no clear plan from any of the candidates. given the heat this issue is generating (and lack of publics understanding); i doubt any of the candidate will be vocal about it.

Ok, As promised I am giving you an update I contacted my attorneys office yesterday the most senior attorney was out so I spoke to her assistant and according to him, If USCIS made a mistake then its their mistake not mine once the GC card comes enjoy it and if they realized they made a mistake 3 years from now or 5 years from now well by that time my PD would probably be current so whats the difference. He did recommend I wait longer than 5 years to apply for citizenship buts thats a long way ahead. It just might be my 4th of July gift. :) I will keep you all updated on any changes.

In this big black hole we are alone, not the govt. nor the lawyers really care for what goes with us. USCIS is just a money making machine for the govt. Rules are made complex and there are several layers of forms. I wonder why a person should go thru 2 stages before filing for I-485. Or why they have 5 different forms filled Labor/I-140/I-485/I-760/I-131 blah blah blah when they could just do it with 1 form like any other country have or may be 2 layers, labor and I-1485. There's no logic of having to file I-140/I-760/I-131. It's all money game...
AILA does not care about people its an organization to take care of lawyer's interest. When you file every year the lawyer can make money every year. So be rest assured they will make some noises but will not bite USCIS.

... I personally find, Ombudsman's posts quiet interesting and good food for thought. They are put forward in a very professional manner unlike some people who use insults and sarcasm...
May be you do not know the meaning of three red dots for TheOmbudsman (it used to be two red dots this morning), which is "so many IV members do not like his postings" i.e, TheOmbudsman is "anti-IV"
FYI, if he does not like a posting with the word "CIR", why can't he ignore the post instead of replying to it with an assumption "people who mention CIR supports amnesty".
IV members support CIR just because it has EB reliefs (manager's amendment) - is it not simple enough to understand?
As someone pointed out from TheOmbudsman's posting, what "Rumsfeld resigning" has to do with immigration? What food you get from here?

Hi guys,
I have just called the USCIS. They told me that the applications will not be rejected but just put on hold until our visa numbers will be avialiable ifor the nerw FY 2008.
In addition she told me that the Nebraska office is sending back the filing receipt to the applicants which it should not affect our h1-b visa status in case we are going to travel.
For the last part I do not believe her. Is there anyone else that can confirm that ?
Thank you.

My lawyer asked me $400 / form as his fees so $1600 lawyer fees to apply for Spouse and mine EAD , AP. Plus $1300 USCIS fees. All this to fill a one page no brainer form. I decided to file it myself but I am sure there are lots of people who will pay them for that and why would they want 2 years EAD when they can make money every year for so little effort.

Hi,
Employee of company A accepts an offer from another company B which promptly applies for a H1B transfer premium processing and its approved. Now the employee cannot join company B due to some problem and wants to remain with company A. Does company A need to apply for H1 transfer?
As I understand there will be no need to apply for the transfer again and the employee can continue working for company A. But the tricky part here is what if company B cancels the employees H1 visa seeing the employee did not join its workforce (considering that it just transferred it)?
Can some knowledgeable people please comment on the above scenario please.
Since you have not joined company B then why you worry whether they cancel H1b or not. As long as company A is having your H1b, nothing to worry & no need for reapplying for H1b transfer back to company A. There is no concept of H1b transfer, every company apply a new H1b when you join them and employer/employee relationship exist as long as they don't cancel H1b. Hope this helps.

Now thats unfair .... you are just using one part of the quote to distort the entire post ... The discussion and context of that statement was always on categories.... and was using that sentence as an example on categories...
The assumption was that readers would understand categories over individual qualifications/countries of origin in this context
If you destroy the context in which a statement is made it makes the entire post "look" bad and is disingenuous
Here is my entire post
"It does make sense that the overflow numbers are given to higher preference categories in single state oversubscribed countries. When you think about it, will that not be the most beneficial to United States? Who would you prefer .... and Unskilled professional from a ROW category or a skilled worker from an Oversubscribed country. I would gather it would make more sense to give the opportunity to the higher skilled since the benefit to US will be higher"
Your arugment would hold if there were no country limits.

If existing members don't show the commitment to the meetings or whatever we organize, then how can we expect new members to do anything?
I feel weird even saying this, but guys don't you know that it is simple courtesy to let the host know in advance if you can't make it?
And anything more than 15 minutes late is just plain RUDE! Do we have to teach this?
I hear you, needhelp! I think every single chapter leader has felt this at some point.
I would like to clarify - anything beyond 0 minutes late is rude. I have a management position in my job, and if that happens at a meeting i'd set up professionally, they get a verbal lashing from yours truly.
It is highly disrespectful

OP was never out of status as he was working for one of the employers on proper work authorization all the time. The only question is whether employer X canceled H1 ?Even if they didn't, it is employer's problem not OP's.
Anyways it is better to respond to this query through a lawyer.
Thanks gc28262.
I was all the time in valid status. I was legal with 'employer #1' H1B and before it expires, I got H1B from 'employer #2', before 'employer #2' H1b expires, I got EAD (used with Employer #2 and still with 'employer #2').
At some point while with my current employer (employer #2), I thought of changing job and 'employer x' sponsored my H1b (I do not know if it is new H1 or transferred), but changed mind, and continued work with 'employer #2'. 'Employer #2' did not cancel my H1B at any time. I have called 'Employer X' and he said my H1B was canceled last week.
Thank you

I understand your concerns that if there's a huge crowd, nothing will come out of it, in all the din created by the crowd and everyone throwing their suggestions.
Right now the question is hypothetical as we don't have a overwhelming confirmations of 100+! Even a crowd of 25 is okay, if we can reach that number. Since this is the first ever MI level meet, I will be surprised (and happy too) if we cross 25-30.
If it's 100+ a new level of pre-planning will be necessary. Our leaders ( cagedcatcus? chintu25?) will need to book a hall, set a clear and focused agenda (so that we don't lose focus), get IV core to address us by telephone/speaker phones, they can even persuade an Immigration attorney (trying to reach out to future clients) to address our questions etc.. It will be a different ball game! It can be handled effectively without limiting numbers.
I think for first meeting 10-12 are enough. Let us meet and decide upon the strategy to have more people. I would prefer not to have lot of people in the first meeting.

never worked for "employer x" after H1 transfer, perhaps you are out of status. What is your lawyer saying? You never transferred H1 back to emplyer#2?
I do not think this is the case with OP, given that I quote, Employer X offiered me a job and sponsored my H1B and got it approved too". I guess this is a new H1B filing rather than a transfer from Employer #2 to Employer X. if this is a transfer, OP is in trouble as you suggested and the employment from transfer approval date till now will be considered "unauthorized work".
could you confirm whether Employer X thing is a transfer or fresh filing?
