Guys,,
This is a good chance..If we get 50 people with 100$ each...we can see where it goes....I pledge 100$ if we can get 50 people..
Probably we should aim to get 200 people to contribute $25 each....if we get 100 people in the next two weeks, we can at least get USCIS started on this. I am ready to contribute $25.
Thanks,
Prasad

Hi.
My friend's wife is in a tricky situation. She has an approved EAD through her husband's I-485 petition.
She was working with company A on her own H-1 and decided to quit employer A and join new company B on EAD. At the very last minute company B has rescinded her job offer. She now cannot return to former employer A as well.
Is she in any status violation if she justs sits at home with an EAD but no job for a few weeks ?
Can anyone share their views ?
Thank You.

First of all I would like to Applaud the Consulate General of India - Houston for the phenomenal speedy service I received for my daughters PIO application via mail. I sent my application on Oct 1st 2010 and it's Oct 15th - we have already received her PIO along with our passports back!! All the information about delays which I had read online before submission seem to be rubbish.
Additional info: notarizing passports was hassle coz no one was ready to stamp the photocopy. Texan credit union manager made a letter with my passport information, took my signature and notarized it for free. I just attached the photocopies with her letter.
I sent the below mentioned documents from Dallas via $20 Express Mail USPS - with signature proof. Was delivered under 24 hours. CGI Houston returned our stuff in FEDEX.
For status update: I called the consulate 7 days after the delivery notification - (yes its tough getting through - but they do pick up the phone) the lady informed me the PIO card had been processed and will be sent soon.. Didn't realize it would be in next 3 - 4 days!
Below is the cover letter / list of documents I sent with my package from Dallas, TX:

Coming back to the discussion about EB3->EB2:
1. For all those who have already initiated the process and are aware of the delays in PERM (about 8 mos) and 140 nowadays (about 10 mos), the cost involved (close to $9k) and without a guarantee of a successful interfiling (a lot of people on this forum earlier had narrated instances of failures), what was your motivation to continue??
2. Has anyone started this process with their EB3 140 still pending?

First - EB2s stop replying posts that were written in frustration and you understand why, They will not affect and take away your GC. Since you are not frustrated you have to start first.
Second - EB3s - Frustration will never bring you anything and you can not move PD faster. Instead capatialize the situation that EB2s are getting GC. How you have to think and focus.
I can give my example. I made network of some who got GC and have some influence in recruiting. After working 9 years for a big Pharma and got layed off, My one buddy got GC long back in EB2 , helped me and received job through him though I have to drive 220miles everyday.
Am I frustrated yes!! More than anybody else here but has to calm down and think positivily.
Hope my post will help you to reduce some frustration.
I can understand the frustration among Eb3s. Honestly I do not want to aggravate their feelings. My only objection was for someone to generalize all Eb2s as being dishonest.

I was in Indian consulate for renewing the passport. I went there on time and there was a pathetic guy at the entrance who refuse to speak other than hindi. Though I told him that I do not understand hindi, he never listen to that and started his conversation with hindi.
Then comes the worst part. A cab driver went to him and handed over some dollar note and got the token. Then the driver handed over the token to the passenger and left. That guy got into the line well before me and got his work done. @#$K those people.
if you are a desi no reason for you to not know hindi mate....hamara bharat mahan

All I want to know is even today EB1 2008 gets his GC before 2001 EB3 and that is fair to everybody. But the minute EB2 got preference things have become unfair how is that?
There were simply two barriers put by CIS for EB GC one is EB Category (horizontal bar) and Country of birth (vertical bar) Now country of birth is something not in your hands where as EB category is something that you can change (acheive) its in your hands. Come one all of us if we study hard can qualify for EB1 but because of various reasons or circumstances we chose to be in EB2 or EB3 (people who crib about employers or any other reason know in their hearts that i they wanted to change they could have simply they decided to remain happy in what they got)
So instead of asking to mountain to come to mohammed people should take this news positively and see how they can benefit from it. The spill going to Eb3 ROW was not helping any one since there is no way one can change country of birth
Because qualification difference between EB2 and Eb1 is far >>> than qualification difference between Eb3 and Eb2.
I agree, EB3s should look at it positively and convert to Eb2 if they can

Dear XXXXX:
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding immigration policy. I appreciate hearing from you.
You are absolutely right that we need to tackle comprehensive immigration reform now. That is why I recently sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, asking him to make comprehensive immigration reform a priority. It is imperative that we have a workable immigration system that balances the needs of our economy. We cannot keep pushing back reform for another day.
We must be tough and smart to get our immigration system under control. It is unacceptable to have 12 million people in our country living outside the legal system. We must secure the border, and also require the undocumented to register and become legal, pay a fine, pay their taxes, learn English, and pass criminal background checks. Those who have a serious criminal record should be sent back to the country from which they came.
I support comprehensive immigration reform because it will restore common sense and control to our immigration system, so that we are once again both a nation of immigrants and laws. Without reform, cash-strapped local governments are footing the bill for federal inaction and small businesses are reliant on an immigrant workforce face uncertainty. Comprehensive immigration reform will help the economy by turning undocumented workers into legal taxpayers who are paying their fair share. This issue must be addressed in order to make sure that we have a system in place that cracks down on employers who hire illegal immigrants and ensures all are playing by the rules.
Our immigration system is broken, and it cannot be fixed by one small piece of reform. We should address immigration as a whole, and that is a primary goal of mine here in the Senate.
I will continue to represent the priorities of Coloradans and all Americans in a thoughtful and independent manner. Please know that I will keep your concerns in mind as Congress addresses these issues.
For more information about my priorities as a U.S. Senator and about issues of importance to Colorado and our nation, I invite you to visit my website at Michael Bennet - United States Senator for Colorado : Home (http://bennet.senate.gov/). Again, thank you for contacting me.

Below is part of a message I posted in another discussion, but this deserves it own discussion. If you are a legal resident of the US, such as an H4, even if you are a child, and you have an ITIN, you can get a Social Security Number, because that is the only way to get the Economic Stimulus Payment.
Be forewarned that the SSA will put up road blocks. You will likely be denied your first application. However, the law is clear and there is no cost to apply. You also have a right to appeal. A cover letter explaining why you have a RIGHT to a Social Security Number will help support your case. You letter should refer to the laws and statutes cited below.
The only way to get the stimulus payment is to obtain a Social Security Number for "non-work" purposes. The SSA may issue an SSN to an alien under the following provision:
20 C.F.R. � 422.104(a)(3)
(i) You need a social security number to satisfy a Federal statute or regulation that requires you to have a social security number in order to receive a Federally-funded benefit to which you have otherwise established entitlement and you reside either in or outside the U.S.;
http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/422/422-0104.htm
The Social Security Administration is required by federal law to issue Social Security Numbers to legal aliens who require them to receive federally funded benefits under Section 205(c)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Social Security Act, which states that the Social Security Administration is required to assign an SSN to "any individual who is an applicant for or recipient of a benefit funded in whole or in part with Federal funds."
Here are some documents from official Senate and House websites (senate.gov, house.gov), which refer to the stimulus payment as a benefit. Print these out and attach them to your application.
Lawmakers
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House
"Residents of the U.S. territories will also receive the benefit."
Johnny Isakson, United States Senator from Georgia
The benefit would phase out for single people earning more than $75,000 a year and married couples earning more than $150,000.
Johnson (GA04) | Press Release | Rep. Johnson Votes to Stimulate Economy
Americans who earned at least $3,000 in 2007 will receive the benefit, including Social Security recipients and 250,000 disabled veterans. Higher income taxpayers are not eligible and the relief phases out above incomes of $75,000 for a single earner and $150,000 for married couples.
Senator Robert Menendez | Newsroom
"Today's event is a chance to spread the word so that everyone is aware of the steps they need to take to receive this benefit."
News | Senator Pete V. Domenici
This benefit would help an estimated 20 million seniors and 250,000 disabled veterans.
EconomicStimulus2008
The 2008 tax instructions will include a worksheet to help those who did not qualify for a payment or those who received a reduced amount determine if they can obtain a benefit when they file their 2008 tax returns next year.
Senate Finance Committee
020808 Econ Stim Staff Summary.pdf (application/pdf Object)
The amount of the credit is phased out at a rate of 5% of adjusted gross income beginning at $75,000 ($150,000 in the case of joint returns). Residents of the U.S. possessions will also receive the benefit�
The law also clearly states that qualified recipients of this benefit must have social security numbers to receive these funds. No other identification number is considered permissible. SEC. 6428 (h) (2) "Identification Number Requirement" states, "For purposes of paragraph (1), the term `valid identification number' means a social security number issued to an individual by the Social Security Administration. Such term shall not include a TIN issued by the Internal Revenue Service."
According to SSA document 20 CFR Part 422 [Reg. No. 22] RIN 0960-AF05 Evidence Requirements for Assignment of Social Security Numbers (SSNs); Assignment of SSNs for Nonwork Purposes, a "valid non-work purpose" results when the "law requires an alien who is legally in the U.S. to have an SSN in order to receive general public assistance benefits (i.e., a public benefit that is means-tested) to which the alien has established Entitlement."
The means-testing provision of H.R. 5140, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 is stated in SEC. 6428 (d) Limitation Based on Adjusted Gross Income.
The federal government has also defined H.R. 5140 as a form of financial relief to persons who fall within certain income categories. According to a Whitehouse publication explaining the means-testing provision of H.R. 5140, "This relief would be available to everyone with adjusted gross income less than $75,000 for singles and $150,000 for married couples filing jointly. It will be phased out for taxpayers above those income thresholds. Taxpayers may qualify by filing a tax return for 2007 and including a valid Social Security number on their tax return." [Fact Sheet: Bipartisan Growth Package Will Help Protect Our Nation's Economic Health, Office of the Press Secretary, February 13, 2008, whitehouse.gov].
Lawmakers included the identification requirements to HR.5140 under the belief that all legal residents of the United States will hold Social Security numbers. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the Commissioner of Social Security to "take affirmative measures to assure that social security account numbers will, to the maximum extent practicable, be assigned to all members of appropriate groups or categories of individuals by assigning such numbers" [Section 205(c)(2)(B)(i)] and that all qualified individuals receive "financial relief" under H.R. 5140 according to the stated will and intention of the United States Congress and Senate (as described in the links above).

Thank you so much for the reply. As you suggested, I will try to find an attorney and get more details. In the mean time I just have a few more questions.
1.Do you know if pay stubs would be a problem to get the "transfer/new" H1B before Oct 1st? Since I wouldn't actually work with Company A, so I wouldn't have any pay stubs.
2. Actually what's difference between getting the "transfer" before Oct 1st and getting a "new" H1B before Oct 1st? Is there some procedure difference?
Company A (the company through which I got the H1B) is withholding the H1B approval notice Original until I am put on project. I went ahead with them for sponsorship because they guaranteed getting projects in my area and no "bench" time, but now after the approval came through, they don't seem as enthusiastic about placing me in local projects. In case there's a problem, I don't want to risk going through the whole "bench" period thing, that's why I am considering changing companies early itself, instead of waiting to find out for sure.
So my third question is
3. Is a COPY of H1B approval notice enough for getting a "new" H1B with company B?
Again THANK YOU for your replies, it's a BIG HELP!
I had the same question so I asked my attorney and he told me that you can "transfer" your H1B after Oct 1 and benefit from AC21, meaning that as soon as company B files an H1B petition for you and you have proof of this filing, you can start working for them.
However, I understand that you want to "transfer" before Oct 1, in which case company B has to file a new H1B petition either regular or with premium processing. This new H1B is not counted against the cap because you have already been counted against the gap in the 6 previous years.
In short, you should be able to work for company B starting Oct 1 if they file for a new H1B now and it is approved by Oct 1.
I recommend you ask an attorney for your specific case.
1.Do you know if pay stubs would be a problem to get the "transfer/new" H1B before Oct 1st? Since I wouldn't actually work with Company A, so I wouldn't have any pay stubs.
2. Actually what's difference between getting the "transfer" before Oct 1st and getting a "new" H1B before Oct 1st? Is there some procedure difference?
Company A (the company through which I got the H1B) is withholding the H1B approval notice Original until I am put on project. I went ahead with them for sponsorship because they guaranteed getting projects in my area and no "bench" time, but now after the approval came through, they don't seem as enthusiastic about placing me in local projects. In case there's a problem, I don't want to risk going through the whole "bench" period thing, that's why I am considering changing companies early itself, instead of waiting to find out for sure.
So my third question is

I filed I-140 on July 5, and was hoping to get the receipt by this week because as per the press release ( dated 7/13), NSC was supposed to be time complaint with regards to I-140 receipt date by 7/18/2007. But they again changed to 8/1/2007. You never know they will NOT change it again!
hey its more than 15 days for u now...did u try toi call USCIS and ask them the receipt number ???

Hi pd_recapturing, I am glad you understood my post clearly. I understand your point as well. Determining whether a company/employee is indulging in fraud or not is quite difficult if not impossible. I would suggest we start with reporting companies we know people work for and have negative experiences/comments about. It would mean reporting them based on anecdotal evidence but what else do we have as a starting point? I also know website reviews might not be very reliable since some disgruntled employee might post exaggerated comments about a company which might be following all the rules. But in general, we do know from colleagues/friends their experiences about employers who have sketchy credentials. Even TCS, Infosys indulge many times in L1 fraud as I have noticed. All I am asking for is better scrutiny by the USCIS at an earlier stage like PERM so such fraud applications can be removed.
I do not wish the genuine employees any ill will (certainly not) but I would like the fraud ones out of the system. Let's brainstorm more and we might have some success in cleaning out the queue of such frauds. Thanks for your insight.
