This country's immigration policy is premised on people wanting to come here, work hard, building wealth for themselves and country and settling down with their families. What I am seeing here is, their policies of late are creating such disgust that, they need to take note soon. They may find...

You will never know unless you try, right?

WSPS, The answer to your previous question was in my earlier post. I assume that this is your first H1b since you are doing a waiver job. If so you should be able to move to your next employer in H1b status with the one caveat being cap exempt status. I am not sure if you would be cap exempt...

Your employer does not have to proceed with the labor certification if your employer is not filing for a green card. You would then just continue in H1b status. The status change I was referring to was after the 3 yrs in H1b were up, where you have filed the NIW and adjustment applications, then...

OK here are a few points for you to consider. 1) Firstly the US citizen might or might not take up that position. Merely interviewing for that job does not mean it is a done deal. You might want to just wait and see where it goes. 2) If there is a demand for your service and your employer is...

Thank you for sharing your experience. Don't forget to voice support for those coming to these shores like you did at each given opportunity. That is the vow I have taken for having to endure this journey. EB immigrants, especially physicians endure a lot in this system. You are right in that...

This is a very good discussion. Anyone reading it sitting on the fence. Please take note. Legislative relief is unlikely this year. Most of us realise that already. Yet we have representatives now that have a finger on the pulse of developments in the legislature and a fantastic way to...

I am not sure that is entirely true. If there is a massive recession and IT jobs get very scarce, USCIS can start sending out RFEs at anytime, requesting evidence that you are still in a same or similar job. If you can't provide that proof with paystubs, job letter etc then you'll be out of...

Ironically if there was a quota system for H1b(with no outlets like L1) then this problem would have been sorted out a long time ago. Employee shortages would have arisen in certain areas and Employers, academic institutions, etc would have led to pressure on congress to reform EB immigration...

I don't think we can say that without knowing how many substitute labours with early PDs were filed before this ridiculous process was outlawed. That may have a bigger role than we are realising. Of course, we very well know the other reasons.

Oh it is not that bad Jacko. Buying a house or not is a very personal decision IMHO. It is very involved and definitely involves a certain financial risk. Many times it is equally an emotional one, since it is your place of living, and a part of your daily life, unlike a stock or bond. It is...

2 Points here. I have heard conflicting opinions about whether a previously approved 140 needs to remain uncanceled or not for a future immigrant petition(140) to be able to receive that priority date. Obviously the preferred option is that it remains open. You should keep a copy of it if you...

Yeah, so you can go swimming but be careful with deep sea fishing! On a serious note, these rules can be so quirky and everyone of us would like to keep to them. It is always better to check and be sure.

Not really. It counts as travel within the USA. So it would be no different to say travelling to florida. You don't actually need a passport for travel within the USA, a drivers licence should be adequate.

Agree I agree with you Jacko. This is almost certainly being orchestrated strategically. The final quarter of the year is where the real movements of PDs happen. If you are from retrogressionland, then thats the time you have to look forward to. If you miss it one year then virtually you just...

My lawyer received an RFE in early July asking for evidence showing I was proceeding toward completion of my 5 yrs of service in HPSA. I had sent in all the completion documents to my lawyer a few weeks earlier in anticipation of completion so she could forward them on at the appropriate time...

Hey Jacko. Do you think they will continue to churn out 485 approvals after Aug. 17th for older cases? I'm asking since I see that on Trackitt people are getting 485 approvals even well into August now. If thats the case, then one wonders which pending 485s are the lucky ones. I have a 2 yr old...

Big issue This is a big emerging potential problem which is escaping the radar due to everything else going on at the USCIS with the 485 fiasco, receipting etc. The NSC has left its "currently processing" at March 26th in their July 15th bulletin. Imagine that they are effectively stating that...

What do you think will happen to those economies when the US economy, their largest trading partner, whose demand is driving growth slows down? In a global economy, things will slow down together.

The point is here is a company that can act on their convictions has spoken clearly about them and is now acting on them, as opposed to many of us, who realise the truth but have our self interest preserved in not acting on it at this time. Wonderful development. I hope many more companies...
