I do undersatnd that these companies did not help you.. y don't u understand that we r not talking about u :) the statistics r these companies bring tens of thousands here every year from one country, yes on H1 or L1, not to sponsor them for greencards, but arriving here with a dual intent visa that allows for greencard application is not such a casual opportunity and that's what I'm telling you is rarely available to the equally qualified non-retrogressed folks. Once here, those thousands transfer to these small/mid size companies u mentioned and choose to stay and apply for greencards even though they know that with their huge numbers current rules will make their greencard journey longer..
Yes adjusting the quota percentages should be on the table, but if these companies hurt you by creating a longer line than the quota allows, , then you should take issue with these companies before you take it at your fellow non-retrogressed immigrants.
You're confusing the cause-and-effect. The country quota laws were put in MUCH earlier than any offshoring companies started doing H1s. It might in fact be the opposite, meaning that these companies are hiring qualified people who weren't getting GCs.
And besides these companies are all software cos that came up in the last 10 yrs, why should that stupid rule affect any person in a non-software field?
Yes we know that the current rules make the journey longer. The point is that it is unfair and that's why we should start trying to change it!
Basically it is very difficult to understand another person's pain. Especially when you're set up to gain from it.

I dont see anything which will allow us to file for 485 as soon as the labor is approved, s1932 had a point whcih would allow us to file for 485 without waiting for the priority date.
Or am I missing some thing.
If this amendment can be included, and all our provisions passed, then Bill Frist for president :D

I was also under the same assumption. But I came to know that you can work for more than one sponsoring employer at a time.

As long as you have had a valid h1b peition approved for employer 1 and employer 2 while you worked for them you are FINE.
According to my lawyer there is nuthing like a h1b transfer. When someone decides to move to a new sponsor that new sponsor files for a h1b via the petition but nuthing gets transfered, they need to refer to old h1b just to prove thatyou are legal and have been maintaining legal status.
in your case Employer X did so but you never joined that employer so you are fine. USCIS can get back to that emplyer if they have not cancelled your h1b as they are liable to pay you by law.
For real as you had an approved petition (latest but not the greatest) from Employer X but did not join them you are fine as long as you were still holding a valid petition with Emp # 2. You should respond back to RFE stating that you were maintaining stauts via emp#2 and were offered a job by EmpX which you never accepted. As a proof you should sen copies of pay stub for enitre period and w-2 + peition and visa copies.
Hope this helps!:)

Great!
With this info, your attorney can easily demonstrate that you were authorized to work for "Employer 2" at all times since last entry in the USA until date of filing for I-485.
There is nothing to worry about, IMHO.
Good Luck.
Thanks desi3933. That's very comforting!

That sure seems interesting piyushpan. It sure seems to suggest so, but I would not be so sure as it does not say explicitly that you can apply if the priority dates are not current. What it means is that USCIS can not approve the petition, (if a petition has already been filed) unless a immigrant visa is available. Does it mean one can apply even if priority dates are not current ?? I am not so sure yet. But I hope you are right :)

And anything more than 15 minutes late is just plain RUDE! Do we have to teach this?

Hi guys,
This is what my lawyer said.
If you/spouse have used your EAD or are using your EAD then your "Current Immigration Status" is "Adjustment of Status Pending/Parolee". If not then it is either H1B or H4.
If you/spouse have actually travlled outside the US and re-entered using the Advanced parole, then your "Manner of Last Entry" is "Parolee". If not then it is what it says on your I-94 (H1B or H4).
You do **NOT** need the $80 Biometric fee for the Advanced Parole.
hey eb3_nepa
One quick question....if the spouse is on H4, working on EAD and then travels outside and comes back in using her H4....can she then still use her EAD.....??

ClaiGC. Thanks a lot! Wasn't aware of these issues. Yeah, the biggest plus point is -->"EAD allows you to work any type/number of jobs that is the big PLUS though!" I hope this alone outweighs the cons of EAD :-) Freedom from employer slavery. And I assume the renewal can be done by the applicant rather than being dependent on the employer as in H-1.

Thanks for devoting a whole paragraph to me.. but wasn't that the point to begin with. "Battering of members publicly or personally" What good does it do to the movement?
I rest my case....
heard you loud and clear,
and usually take complaints very well.
but when someone only complains and spends time undermining us and our efforts elsewhere and when they return only to take potshots...i reserve my right. you are actively harming this organization by your actions and it's not hidden to us, therefore you are retarding our goals- and those will benifit all 25,000 here- active, passive etc. not every person is creating value here and that is the fact. your attitude is childish, i will say it again. it's childish because your purpose is not to improve things in any way or help us achieve our goals but to prove some silly point about how you were treated in the past. but this is the last time i'm bothering, i want to move beyond this. some of us have better things to do than lurk around and wait to score personal points. you have already stated you have no wish to contribute further in any way. so be it.
also know that free speech is all well and good. but no organization will allow it's forums to be used to undermine it's objectives. try doing it on numbers usa or alipac and see how long you last.

There are several benefits to media coverage.
You create awareness and build alliances.
You give the other party (in this case congress) an opportunity to correct the problem.
You get reporters to do additional investigate work that may help you build a case (This has already happened).
You have an opportunity to correct public misconceptions, such as that all ITIN filers are illegal aliens, and thereby reduce the chance that the public will support such action in the future.
Wikipedia also has good interpretation of rebate and ITIN. It clearly mentions
"Taxpayers who filed their returns jointly are not eligible for payment if any of the persons on the tax return filed with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead of a social security number.[4] For example, if a family of five had one parent with an ITIN, no money is payable to any member of the family, including US citizens with valid social security numbers.[7] As a result, many legal resident aliens and overseas military families will not receive any payment. US citizens who will not receive payments include those who have a parent or spouse who is not a citizen and who does not qualify for a social security number (not authorized to work in the United States). [8] US citizens may amend their tax returns to file separately, but in most cases this results in a lower deduction for dependents, thereby canceling any benefit from the stimulus payment. In many cases, it is better to forgo the stimulus payment than to file an amended tax return.[9] At least one million legal residents and tens of thousands of troops were affected by the law, which was designed to keep illegal immigrants from getting stimulus checks. [10]"

I thought only who have advanced degree from US universities in STEM with 3 yrs exp are exempt from quota. That's what the talk all over the media. I am not sure how this is going to be, because 3 years of US experience is not very hard criteria to meet for which some of the votings won't go well. But have to wait and see.
Here is what the amendment specifically says and this exempts all US Masters/Ph.Ds and foreign masters/Ph.D in STEM with 3 years experience.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would not agree with your interpretation. You are insinuating that a majority of the EB based green cards sponsored by employers are similar to family sponsored green card and also that people are favoured for their nationality....
The 7% law doesn't take into account the current diversity figure of USA.
I don't belive Indians and their descendants form a significant majority to affect diversity ( compared to the ones from some of the EU countries and their descendants ) figure.
For eg. The number of Italian americans is around 16 million , where as the Asian Indian Americans are around 2.5 million.

Sorry to be rude guys, but if you are a new EB3 India. "post 2005 perm". I would advise you to seek greener pastures in UK or India. I dont see a light at the end of tunnel as things stand today
I don't see a future with EB3. If you have your EAD and AP and have a dream for future. Just use EAD and do it. Save money and in the worst case go to India or UK. But live LIFE WITH PASSION.
