What I am finding is, there are not enough people to do the really complicated stuff. Because of demand and supply the salaries are going up for folks that do specialized tech work( say OS Kernel development).
Then again, nothing in this world is too difficult, so lot of this stuff is getting pushed out to development teams outside of the US, where it's cheaper to get it done. The only downside is the ramp up time.
There is a critical point when it becomes too expensive to hire anyone in the US and the folks elsewhere are sufficiently ramped up, at that point we can thank all those who are against employment based immigration and find an alternate career :)
It is also obvious that the current graduates are more reluctant to take up jobs in US or stay here for a long time due to the following:
1. Messy GC process as more students are becoming aware of the situation
2. Ability to work freely in a competitive environment
3. Boom in their home country (India and China) [A survey shows that majority of foreign students are from these countries]
4. Ability to start at higher levels over there compared to start up jobs over here
5. Can stay with family
In our team, we are trying to hire 3 full time employees in west cost with specific skill set and could not succeed for the past 6 months :( One of my friend who is leading a team, recently want to expand his team had a similar issue. He finally setup an office in India and recruited people over there.
These trends clearly indicate that US is loosing clear competitive advantage and more jobs are moving off-shore.
If for some reason I move back to India, I am sure that I will be taking away as many as 10 jobs along with me as well :)
Thanks

I think EADs are sent to the applicant and AP to the attorney...had the same in my case...plus seen lots of folks here say the same thing...
Arent you concerned that if its approved on Oct 1, and you didnt get it, then where is it? Did you ask them as to why you havent gotten it in mail even though it has been approved a month ago? Also, did you check with your lawyer if he got anything?

immigrant2007, you just spoke my mind. My thoughts are just the same like yours. Thank you for writing a meaningful post.
1) Please update your profile.
2) It's sad that we are getting GCs at the expense of people of came here illegally. Our efforts are held hostage by both parties (It's simple), One party wants to win votes of one group and the other wants to wins votes as well of a different group. It's not about "DOING THE RIGHT THING". If it was about "DOING THE RIGHT THING" there would never had been a backlog. Backlog elimination center was created just to put some cases on hold and clear cases of 245i applicants (USCIS will never allow us access to that data)
3) DOING THE RIGHT THING....why unequal penalties of the parties who break the immigration Law. All punishment is directed towards the employee. EMployer only gets fine. Make punishment stricter for employers, (hit them where it hurts most, jail them and shut down their business)there will never be any illegal immigrant getting jobs. there whould be equal punishment for both.
4) Why this doble standard when it comes to immigration. why don't people oppose when jobs are transferred in name of outsroucing or shifting production to cheapr countries? Anti Immigants are biggest Hypocrites ever and Pro immigrants are not representins immigrants properly. No one focuses on the injsutice done to legal aliens.
5) I am EB3, I followed Law, I am in backlog because Govt did not process the cases in 2001 , 2002, 2003 in time and created a backlog and I resisted the temptation to break laws and buy Labor substitution AND I openly say that I oppsoe illegal immigration and amesty to illegeal immigrants (and I do feel sorry for them. god bless them they deserve a better life).
I am one of those who need Immigration reform immediately. Justice delayed is jsutice denied (rest is all face saving).

If you get re-married before GC, then your wife is eligible under employment quota with your PD. It does not matter if she is in India or USA. The critical thing here is your marriage date should be before your actual GC receive date.
This is generally for people who get married for the first time, in your case I am not sure. search some old Murthy forums fro more info.
I am the primary applicant. I am planning to get married in next 1 year or so with a girl from India. If I get my GC then she will fall under family based which will take years for her to come here. I do not mind moving back if that happens.
Since I have valid H1 can I do something,

But how do one become out of status?
One way is, if he/she didn't apply for extension, thats the only way. Otherthan that pay stubs, job, bench, these will not make anybody out of status. These are all trash.
As long as the employer/employee relationship exists, nobody can't do anything. This is for sure.
Let me correct it.. I read somewhere that it is considered not a major problem if some one is out of status for less than 180 days cumulatively.

I agree,
There should be support from most congress person for any bill to pass. All IV members should call the local congress person and request them to support the pro legal immigration bills.
Guys, This discussion has no relevance if the bills won't pass. So it is extremely important to call the specific House members.....
Thank You!

They do not accept Indian 3 yr bachelors & 2/3years of Masters + 5 years for EB2. This has been discussed lot of times. They expect single 4 year degree.
15yrs of education(India Bachelors) + 5 or more years of education for EB3 is accepted if certain qualifiers are included in the Labor.
Just take care if you are dealing with attorney who saying above thing.
It all depends on what you have in the PERM requirement. If you have like MS, BS or any foreign equivalent as evaluated by reputed firm or equivalent experience then you can get approval

06/13/2008: Unresolved Disagreement With Hispanic Legislators for Highly Skilled Foreign Worker Immigration Legislations
A number of businesses and immigrants watched webcast hearing of the House Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee hearing yesterday that is related to the Rep. Zoe Lofgren's trio piecemeal employment-based immigration relief bills. The testinomies of the witnesses demonstrated a strong support of these bills by the high tech community. At the same time, the hearing revealed a continued resistance from the Hispanic supporting legislators who support the relief for the farm workers foreign workers and comprehensive immigration reform legislation, making the fate of these bills uncertain, according to the ComputerWorld report. There was also a resentment expressed by one of the legislators to the elitist mentality underlying these highly skilled foreign worker employment-based immigration bills. One wonders where these two conflicting communities can find a common ground where they can work out a compromise. It thus appears that the situation requires a very high-level of skills of negotiation and compromise for a successful resolution.

Dont lose hope. I am on H4 since 2000 too and been out of workforce ever since. I had 6 years of prior experience. Now, I have a job offer(non IT) and the company is planning to sponsor my H1 this April. Keep applying and something will work out.

If it is of any consolation, though not required, I did submit employment letter along with her I485 from my wife's company which states her current salary and that employer is willing to provide employment till her H1B approval expires.
It means, if at all they have any doubts, they may issue RFE, but if you have a good relationship in responding to those RFEs using company letters etc, there is no problem. Good relation means, employer has to suppprt you always in case of any RFE, thats it. He needs stand on your side. Then there is no problem. But if he won't stand on your side, then it is a problem. So, thats why relation with employer is very important when on H1 or EB.

Thanks for contacting IV with your SOS.
An IV core member is going to be helping you to fix this with USCIS. Let us know if you need help. He already tried contacting you yesterday.
As IV grows maybe this is a help IV can extend to all its donor members and help them if they get in such extreme distress situations. This is one of the ideas we are thinking for our members in the donor group.
+1. That is fantastic.

Why not to use that very same ID you have been using for 2 years to post this one also? That way others will know you have been a member and also contributed in the past. No confusion and peace.
Man - U guys love to quibble about stupid things rather than focus on the big picture. All my thread says is - I'm doing X .... Please consider doing it as well if you think it is worth your while ... Thats it - Nothing more - nothing less. And here we're having a discussion about how long I've been a member of IV and yada yada yada ...

Here is what you do if the bill passes without amendments:
Get some sun-tan. Wear a baseball cap. Put in jeans with oil stains and bad quality collarless t-shirt. Grow an untrimmed mustache. Lose the dress shoes and wear cheap jogging shoes.
Go to the nearest USCIS office (after this bill passes) and say that you have been working off-books illegally at a nearby restaurant since 5 years and now you would like to apply for Z visa.
They will give you a probationary that will work like an EAD card (maybe better quality than EAD with it being tamper proof and wear proof). In the meantime, once the borders are closed and certain benchmarks are met, you will get Z visa with Advanced parole to replace your probationary card. With that advanced parole you can travel outside and come back in guaranteed (Guaranteed return due to AP). When outside you can file for GC, visit your parents and relatives, spend a few days in vacation and come back with full freedom to work anywhere without LCA restrictions and enjoy the Z visa that you can renew on your own (no need for employer sponsor).
They will give GC to all Z visa applicants within 5 years thru supplemental increase in GC (based on survey done by DHS). The annual cap will be total Z visa holders divided by 20%. If there are 11 million illegals who end up getting Z visa, the annual cap will be 2.2 million.
That 2.2 million beats the hell out of the 140,000 we have today for legal skilled immigrants or the 90,000 we will have with this new bill.
Advantages:
1. No need to comply to speciality occupation. Work in any line of work.
2. No need to get labor cert for GC.
3. No need to depend on employer for temp visas like H1B and GC sponsorship.
4. More travel flexibility due to advanced parole that comes with Z visa.

Agree with you Tony - there are so many members of this forum - I find it hard to believe that everyone's budget is so tight, that they cannot afford to divert $25 per-month to a cause that is going to help them directly.
I would rather NOT believe that most people here are with a free-loader mentality - waiting for others to fund and drive the momentum, while they just keep yapping about their problems and concerns about the situation, laws, regulations, illegals, employers etc. etc.
Yes but empirical evidence points to the contrary - About 100 something donors out of 45000
Some persons have trust issues with sending money to IV.
Guys Immigration voice is a non-profit, and as core group mentioned in their video, people can be arrested for misusing funds. The annual reports for previous years are available.
Immigration Voice funds disclosure on Yahoo! Video (http://video.yahoo.com/watch/234998/1863489)
In my opinion people are missing the big picture of that if everyone contributed, there could be significant momentum that could be created - a $25 per-month contribution could lead to a $500K monthly lobbying fund - which is a non-trivial amount to drive our agenda.
Yes people need to learn that we are small in number and need everyone to support each others cause. Even 5 bucks a month from everyone is enough to achieve the dream - average lunch money. Sometimes I'm surprised we're dealing with high skilled immigrants here.
While almost everyone has been in a situation of spending hundreds of dollars in immigration fees. I paid $1000 6 months back for premium processing.
Some people have experienced old corruption in Indian politics and think things are the same here. I assure you its not.
So whats the next excuse going to be now? laziness or boredom?

This MEMO also talks about length of stay beyond 6 years. There has been a lot of controversy involving changing job after 3 years H1B extension based on approved I-140. This memo seems to clarify that a little, but it is still not clear enough about implication of revoked I-140 on the approved H1B.
See Section 5, Page 7
Burden of proof rests with petitioner and alien to establish his or her eligibility....
I hope some lawyer or USCIS can clarify this once and for all. There are already so many thereads on this, that I don't want to start another one.
