I am so sorry that IV did not inform you about Donor forum. I will check with IV on why you were not notified earlier. This is clearly unacceptable. IV core should give up their jobs and should start going door to door to inform everyone about IV's goals, strategies and changes to policies.
In the mean time, please go through this:

Cool! More reds with these comments. Although you guys didn't make these comments openly, I would like to reply to you openly:
Red Comment No. 1: Learn to reply back with a cool head. Real, focused, communication in IV should be a marketing strategy for geting more donors...if that is not there...enjoy !
Neither am I IV's customer service, nor is IV core. All this guy needed to do was to search the forums and read through that thread that I pointed him to, and voila, he would have know what is IV's intention on the donor forum. He probably knew about it but just decided to throw some oil to the fire in this current thread. I agree with your reasoning on giving more focused replies but then that's what I'd keep doing all day because there are tons of folks roaming around here who have nothing better to do but criticize IV!
Red Comment No. 2: why the sarcasm, hes in the same boat as you
How is he in the same boat as me? I am on a boat called IV and I don't see him on that boat. You just wanted to give me a red dot but couldn't think of a solid reason, isn't it?

I m Employee of company "A" have a valid H1-B till 2008.
I came to company "B" through company "A" acquisition. I left company "B" in March 2007 and joined some other company( "C" ) on H1 B.
Question is- I have a project now and wanted to get back as a employee of "B".
Will company "A"' H1-B be valid? Or do we have to do a H1 B transfer ?
Please suggest :mad:
Thanks

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.

TheOmbudsman,
A number of IV members have complaint about your posts. We know that you have earlier posted on IV forums with the screen names �Communique� and �marlon2006�. If I remember correctly, your handle 'Communique' was banned but it was pretty clear that you were an anti-immigrant. I want you to read this post because in next 15 minutes, I will be putting a ban on your handle.
Immigration Voice forums are created for high skilled immigrants and their families. We contribute constructively to the society. Your hate mongering tone and disguising as 'someone waiting for green card' is pathetic example of how low you can go. I try to read forums everyday and I try to read each and every post. Each day I try to read your post to get more determined to continue to work on this very important issue. But now, I think its time for you to leave IV forums as your tone is again becoming offensive and your posts drive legitimate IV members away.
We are requesting you politely to please leave IV forums alone and do not bother IV members.
Thank you,
WaldenPond
Good call. This was waiting to happen. It also applies to others on the forums who create handle names without their full contact information and post anti immigration, anti IV or offensive messages.

eb3 guys need to move on to a new job and get the i140 ported to eb2. Do not depend on VB luck. You have more chances of hitting the lotto jackpot rather than getting lucky for PD to move.
Lobbying by IV is a great effort but do not think anything will happen for another 4 years. No CIR until the economy comes out of recession. Neither this nor the incoming President will have the guts to pass it through. And even if the CIR becomes a possibility after 4 years, you do not know in what form it going to take shape. The way I see, they will be more anti-H1B restrictions being passed before CIR comes to the floor. I won't be surprised if they say unless you have a US degree, you can't work in US. That will screw up a whole ot of NIV guys. Ofcourse it will also help a whole ot too. But point is do what is in your hands. Always have a backup plan.
If you say its was easy for me to say this, trust me the current one is the third labor filing. First being eb3. Just quit because I didnot like the group.

I am one of many many and happy to see this development.
I am puzzled.
Just would like to remind you all , only couple of months back, there was a great optimizm of CIR .. but today we know it is in stalemate.
So I think this time around we should be cautious. I have a question... What is the gaurantee that this bill is not to increase H1-B alone? Sorry If I am not being optimistic here.
I request, Our web faxes clearly state why we support SKILL BILL... If I read right and remember it well, this Forums goal is to reduce retrogression/backlogs.
Now to be positive I am copying an extract that was in quotes in press release ..
“To our detriment, current policy mandates that we educate and train these brilliant individuals and then send them away to other countries to compete against us.”
Thank you IV for your efforts.
Excellent Point. Its defenitely not in any of the employer's interest to worry about EB issues. Infact they prefer people being in H1. and I certainly do not want to support that. There are good chances that congress increase H1 quota and we end up supporting the wrong cause. As far as IV is concerned, I would even go to the extent of saying that we should not support H1 causes, as there are enough candidates in H1 here undergoing EB problems. Thanks for bringing out an excellent point regarding this bill. My opinion is, if EB issues are not stressed properly, this bill will be viewed as "INCREASE FOR H1B BILL".. my 2 cents.

See under section E.
E. EMPLOYMENT SECOND PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILITY
There have been questions raised regarding the way numbers have been provided to the China and India in the Employment Second preference categories beginning in April. Section 202(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act states that if total demand for visas in an Employment preference category is insufficient to use all available visa numbers in that category in a calendar quarter, then the unused numbers may be made available without regard to the annual per-country limit. (For example: If the second preference annual limit were 40,000, number use by �All Other Countries� were estimated to be only 25,000, and the China/India combined number use based on their per-country limits were 6,000, then there would be 9,000 numbers unused. Those 9,000 numbers could then be made available to China and India applicants without regard to their per-country limits.)
One interested thing I noticed from this post is that spill over might occur every calender quarter and not just at the end of the year... so EB2 I/C dates might keep moving forward every two to three months..

I have been laid off yesterday. My employment ends Dec.
My 180 days expire Jan. My company said they will not revoke the I-140.
So can anyone explain the steps that needs to be taken by company B after they transfer my h1, for time period Dec thru Jan.
Can I use ac21 afterwards? and
Can myself or my wife work on the EAD that will come to our home address?.
What else needs to be done by company B.
Will we just get our green card in email.
If a query comes should I prove that I'm employed with the former company or is it to sufficient to show employment with similar position alone?
In short if the former company does not revoke I-140 and I take care of the status thru H1b transfer for the 1 month to hit 180 days, will I need to reapply for the GC?
Please advice to what you think is right based on your best knowledge.
you need to hope and pray no query for EVL comes until 180 days past your filing of 485. After that if you get a query you can show company Bs letter. the job in B needs to be in the same or similar position.

Yes there is and it is called visa portability. :) this is for you as well piyu, do not jump into summary so fast.
Ok, Here's what law says about so called "transfer"
D. AC21 105 -- Visa portability
.....
gapala -
You are mixing apples and oranges.
Visa Portability (as per AC-21) allows one to start employment after filing for H-1B petition, before H-1B petition os approved.
H-1B Transfer does not invalidate current employment status (if on H-1B status) and beneficiary can continue working for original Employer A based on that I-797 validity dates.
OP needs to explain to USCIS that he never switched jobs on new H-1B approval and continued job on the basis of original I-797 dates. He was not out of status.

Check this thread which is dedicated to such questions. I think if you get married after your I-485 gets approved, it's a sign of trouble since your spouse will get into the family based category which is heavily backlogged for certain countries.

My pd is jan 2005 and i was waiting for the dates to become current.I am not married and will most probably get married by this year end[parents in the process of searching matches].my dilemma is whether to apply for 485 now or not.can i add my wife's name later on while the 485 is in the final stages of the process[say an year after the process began] or just before the green card is being dispatched etc so that both of us can get green cards.i dont want to miss this chance because i seriously feel that the dates might retrogress again.but if i apply and get a green card u all know how many years it will take to get wife to usa in family based immigration.somebody please clear my doubt.Thank you

Even if they approve the GC, they can always revoke and ask you to return the card. This has happened somebody, I don't remmeber which forun I read about it. Call them up and inform them that your PD is not current. You can even go to local ASC and talk to an IO. If you have an attorney, inform him/her.

Bunnyboy is a member of IV's forum and he had a magic sequence number to call USCIS, that will hit the USCIS IO not the CS dept.

Till now i or my wife does not have any RFE throughout our L1/L2 to GC. Now GC is in hand.
I know they are little slow, but you have to followup to make it fast. One thing is they donot take shortcut in process. Thats the reason many are frustrated. Desi lawers and companies can go to any extent and we should not compare that with a professional law firm.
I am wondering your logic for using "desi lawyers". They graduated through the same system as any other "book smart" attorney in the "smart" fragomen system. I think it is always a negative to go through a large law firm. An association with a large firm must not be confused with efficiency. Who knows...might be freebies which they provide to HR grp of the large firms keeps them in the picture.......................

Hi all,
This discussion is very valuble for people like me deciding between living in Canada as PR vs H1B USA .We all know that salaries in USA are slightly better than Canada .But now the exchange rate is almost equal.
Salary:
Can a person with family(2 kids) survive in Canada with CAD 50,000 / year salary in a place like Toronto.? I heard in Canada you pay 13 % tax on anything you buy .Does 50 % of your income goes in taxes ?
HealthCare:
Also is the government sponsored health care good compared to USA .I mean do you have any wait to see specialists.Is healthcare comparable to USA .
Immigration:
In USA anyone can get a Greencard regardless of their qualifications and it depends how early you enter the GC queue.But looks like in Canada they value your educations and other qualifications.Can IT professionals (non-managers) apply for Canada PR without a job or canadian education?
Canadian Citizenship:
Many people want to get Canadian citizenship and return to USA with TN Visa .In future ,could USA put restrictions on this .?
Please share your thoughts .
Thankyou

:) i understand your point and agree a bit, but gandhi wasnt into programming, he would have been sucessful no matter where he went. He had a unique vision, personality etc. we are average people with school going kids (try asking a 10 year old to learn 2 new languages all of a sudden and pass that subject in class) trying to establish ourselves somewhere. i mean if we have to go back we will and we will adjust and succeed.
the only thing that holds us back is...do we want to give up after waiting so long (8yrs in my case) and once we leave, we have effectively lost our position in the GC line...sort of no turning back.
I am in my late 20's and am going to finish my 7th year next month...you decide how many feet of water I am in..:rolleyes: Meanwhile I totally understand your argument that the situation is the most frustrating for people who have been here the longest. I'd say sharpen you swimming skills and then it wouldn't matter how deep the water is or how tall you are....I's say stick with it and endure hardship if you value the end result (GC ofcourse). Even if you decide to go back...whatever your age/experience be...never forget its never too late..Gandhi was 46 years old when he returned to India from SA after spending 22 years there..Still wasn't too late for him to start a revolution now... or was it ?:)
May be you might also want to change your handle...GCby3000 doesn't sound that optimistic
