whitemimauz3, I am unsure if this rule i.e. "to get a 7th year h1b extension either labor ceritification or Employed based petition (I-140) should have been filed before start of 6th year" applies in this case, because a lc application was made but got denied. I think refiling is possible with...

Same with me: original submitted in Dec 07, random audit notice and response submitted in Feb, no response from DOL so far. Does anyone have any idea how long audits are taking these days, and % that are approved after audit?

Isn't it amazing how IV is so quick to take credit for every single positive legislation regarding immigration? Even if you have any negative opinions of them you have to admire their opportunism - they never fail. They must have one fulltime person just monitoring new legislations so that they...

If this had been the case - i.e. country-cap on H-1bs - then there would also have been tremendous pressure from industry to remove the cap since they would never have been able to recruit without the Indians and Chinese in some areas like IT. Or, conversely, they would have had to pay higher...

When USCIS says that backward movement in visa dates is because of excessive demand, what does this actually mean? For example, Murthy says below: The explanation for the backward movement in the cutoff dates for EB2 for India and China is simply based on demand under this category. The Visa...

I wonder if you understand English. Read my previous post, specifically: "nobody also said that getting the green card is not important." If you don't understand English, let me explain in simpler English my first post which said: "I think PD is given too much importance by us. 2-3 years later...

nobody is asking you to buy anything. you do whatever you think is right, if staying in a s*** job makes you happy that's your blessing or curse. nobody also said that getting the green card is not important. but to some people quality of life is obviously more important than the green card...

I totally sympathize with your situation, as I'm sure many on this site do as well. We area ll being held captive, with no recourse. One way to screw them back is say f*** you, leave the place and restart the process elsewhere. Yes, you're losing your PD, maybe not even that if you have I-140...

Ask them to pay you any severance over 2 months, instead of a lump sum, so that you will still officially be on the payroll for an extra 2 months, and they also wont have to pay you any extra money. and use it to enjoy the vodka

Atty Greg Siskind says it was a plot by DOS to force USCIS to work harder. Read what he says: STATE DEPARTMENT PULLS THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER GREEN CARD APPLICANTS I promised I wouldn't blog today, but there's very distressing breaking news that needs to be disseminated. The State Department...

Oh God, another one of those retards from IV. Probably one of their moderators in disguise. Before you start suing people here, why dont you send me YOUR name and address, I will sue you for the $200 you owe me first. I see that IV mods have deteriorated from banning people to suing them ...

you can definitely transfer to a new company as long as they are willing to restart the process. by the way, even if your I-140 is not approved, and in your 6th year, you can get a full one year extension on H-1b, and have enough time to get past I-140 stage from your new employer. I transferred...

Gary Endelman is saying there is a possibility there will be NO EB gcs in next year, till Oct 2008! "The end of employer-sponsored immigration and the inauguration of the points system do not take place at the same time. No kidding, there are two different dates when the old is no good and the...

hey jacko, Not to doubt your word (as the Americans say, when they don't mean it :) ) , and I have not read the text of the bill, but nowhere on any of the attorney websites have they mentioned self-sponsorship. Being that it is such a major issue, why has this not appeared? are you sure of...

thanks qp. May not be a bad thing to switch if you have a late PD and qualify on points basis, since Murthy says "For the first five years after enactment of the proposal, the level would be set at a number that is believed to be 247,000. Of this number, 90,000 would be set aside for...

anyone know what is going on with this bill? does it look likely to be approved? too many debates, too little time to track them all

does anyone know if the points based system will enable self sponsorship? i.e. does the applicant still require his employer to apply for gc or can he just file on his own? and does this apply to only new cases going forward, or also for existing cases?

Don't understand how NZ can have a processing time of 6-12 months if they have to wait for a year after being chosen in pre-app stage. By this lofgic, they would have to wait at least a year + processing time to see if anyone else in the pool has exceeded their points. This still means that at...

The problem is not in the theory, the problem is in the execution: Let's suppose that Person A applies. He has enough education (say Masters degree), skills, right age, etc to give him reasonably high points to get the green card, but not so high that he is a sure-fire case. Let's say that in...

dont go to murthy, had a really bad atty assigned to my LC: although I paid all legal fees he advised my employer many times against my interests, and when I told murthy this she shrugged her shoulders and said everything he did was legal. sure, but as everyone knows, dual representation causes...
