I had expected some kind of outlook from the recent AILA - DoS liaison that happened in San Antonio. Both Matthew Oh and Sheela Murthy did not report any outlook. But here's an outlook from another lawyer

Further Retrogression for Employment-Based Immigrant Visas Anticipated
At a recent immigration conference in San Antonio, it was reported that the Department of State ("DOS") expects that the EB1 China category will remain current and the EB2 China category to continue advancing. On a less positive note, further delays in the EB1 and EB2 categories for Indian nationals is expected as well as the EB3 category for all nationalities. With the Department of Labor's optimistic projection that the the Backlog Elimination Centers will meet their goal of eliminating its backlog and processing the remaining labor certifications filed pre-PERM implementation by September 2007, the DOS expects severe retrogression in many of the categories, particularly the EB3 categories - across the board. While this report is pure speculation, it does spark concern that applicants will be facing further delays in the permanent residence process. The DOS' Visa Bulletin is released on a monthly basis at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/b...letin_1770.html. Greenberg Traurig will continue to monitor this issue and provide further updates as soon as they are available.
Looks like it's a long haul for EB3 in general and could be punishing for EB3-IND and EB2-IND.
This is the effect of increasing the H1B quota to 115,000 for 2 years and then to 195000 in 1 year without actually increasing the GC quota.
Good luck to all of us. Those who are in late 2001 and early 2002 EB3-IND filers can hope to get relief in the next year or so but unless some bill passes other EB3-IND filers should possibly work towards Plan B. Also read the report by USCIS ombudsman. It's quite revealing about the working of USCIS. This country might be technologically advanced but it's bureaucracy seems to be much worse than third world countries comparitively.

Rally shoud emphasize that its not for increase in any H1B visa but to provide relief for people who are going through AOS to cut down the amount of time whole adjustment process takes.

Here's my situation in briefest form. I'm engaged to a woman in the Philippines. She worked as a domestic helper in Kuwait from about 2005 to 2007, a period of about 2.5 years total.
I understand that as we move forward on our K1 application (I'm an American just be clear) she'll be required to submit police reports for anyplace she has lived for more than 6 months. She doesn't have such an item from Kuwait, and it seems nearly impossible to obtain such a report. The websites all say that this document is only given to 'current residents'.
How can we obtain such document, and what if we can't? It seems unfathomable that the US Gov would request a possibly unobtainable document and then permanently deny our chance to live in the US together, if we are absolutely unable to obtain this document?
Does anyone have any advice, or can tell me what happens in a situation such as this?
Thanks for any help.

i am on h4 and this was the first time a company filed for my h1b. so would that be ok if company "B" files for my h1b with h1b filed with company "A" is pending with RFE.
Yes. I would refer to Co A's filing in the 2nd one, so that CIS doesn't think you're trying to deceive them or hide anything.

Given the general apathy and hatred towards the term 'H1B' most anti immigrant groups after the rally are likely to come up with headlines/captions for their stories such as 'H1B Temporary workers rally in Washington' and so on. During the flower campaign I happened to come across such a headline on steireport.com, 'H1B workers in flowery protest' or something on similar lines. These anti immigrant groups deliberately downplay the term 'High Skilled Immigrants'.
Since most of us have filed for AOS under the revised August visa bulletin we are termed as Adjustees. As we all know adjustees can stay in this country without a visa under the protection of the Attorney General of the United States. Also we are aware of that adjustees are given EAD to work and AP to travel in and out of the country which are special rights till their case is decided. I think we should highlight this point if we come up across forums/interviews which use the 'H1B workers' stick to beat down our rights as 'Adjustees under the protection of the Attorney General of the US'.
Just a thought I wanted to share it with this community. If not found relevant to the cause please feel free to delete this post.

Are you sure this is for your I-485 and not for your EAD?
I got email last night for our EAD with exact same message.

Please meet the lawyers and get their opinion. If all of them say the same thing, then that is the option. If they have differing opinion, then check back via immigration forums.
Most of the folks at IV have applications based on employment and not based on marriage. So you may not get good answers.

Group,
This morning I saw a commercial (California Group Blames Immigrants for Climate Change) (http://www.triplepundit.com/2009/11/california-group-blames-immigrants-for-climate-change/)on the local Bay Area channel and was simply surprised, I mean out of words surprised.
I cannot believe how low these anti-immigrant groups can and will go to push their point, which obviously is nothing but full of BS, but it certainly adds fuel to the fire.

Administrators?
Why this is not coming in the front page?
Is this posting wrong?
Thank You....
We need to look at means to complain to ombudsman regarding the delays. My I-140 application is stuck in VSC and they are currently processing Apr 2006 (its been like that for last 6 months). Can IV core please provide us guidance in this regard? Any idea when the PP service will be restarted for I-140 applications?

Hello i am running in to issues of how to get address changed. To give you guys previews. We were residing in Chicago till July ending. In August we moved to CT as my wife got a new job there. But since my work location is in IL , I requested my employer whether its possible to work remotely and its ok by law. He said u can change ur residential address and there is no need to amend LCa/H1b as there is no change in work location in my case. Fine for now.
I recently visited CT DMV and requested for CT state license. They denied to me saying that i need a CT employer letter or My employer should issue letter to DMV stating my work location changed. Neither of these are going to happen. For now i have my license and Plate from IL itself. I can still continue to maintain but renewing Plates and Pollution test are pain being in CT any ideas please ?

Some had mentioned in immigration forums that you might be grilled with questions during naturalization process if you had changed employer as soon as you got your GC.If you are not planning for naturalization I assume you are fine.
A 6 month stay with current employer after GC is advised for a smooth naturalization process in future.But this is dark area as there are no posts from GC turned citizens about their experiences.
Thats not exactly true in the context of this thread. You have to work for your GC sponsorer for some period of time before changing employer. Pooch was mentioning his/her GC sponsorer is future employer. So after the GC is approved, he/she has to work for that GC sponsorer not the current employer.

Hello Friends
My EB2 petition was filed in TSC in June 2009 and on July 20 2009 I received an email saying that " my approval notice was sent".Today the status changed to " Document mailed ON juLY 24 2009 " and also my previous eb1a denial in Feb 2009 got a soft LUD.
I am totally confused by this . Can some one offer their opinion on this strange development ?
Appreciate your help in advance

Hi,
I hope most of our members are writing/meeting their congressmen regarding our issues (thru state chapters etc.). Since CIR is about to be discussed in the Senate is it worthwhile to send a petition to all judiciary committee members? Maybe we can use one of those onlinepetition websites and encourage all members to virutal sign it. A petiton with a large number of signature might have a favorable response rather than an individual writing to a local congressman (I always get a standard one page response even though I change text and highlight one aspect of our issues). What is your opinion on this exercize - is it useful?
Ofcourse meeting the lawmakers thru state chapter is the best and members can continue to do that. The above is a complimentary action (and which need members to sign a petition).

Hi,
I am working for "Company A" on L1B from Nov 2006. In 2008 April "Company B" filed H1B and it got approved and received approval letter with I-94 effective from Oct 1st 2008.
After getting H1B I did not move to Company B and continued work with "Company A" on L1B Visa. To void the I-94 received with my H1B Approval I traveled my Home country on Sep 28th 2008 and returned to US on Oct 6th 2008 on L1B visa and continuing my Job with "Company A"
My H1B Employer (Company B) did not revoke my H1B since I have not started working for him.
Now Company B is going to renew my L1B visa for another 2 years.
If they renewed my L1B Visa, what will happen to my H1B?
In future if I want to switch to H1B, can i switch to H1B with my current H1B or do I need to file new H1B with fresh quota (Which opens in April)?
I am really tensed now and I am not understanding whether I should go for L1B extension or do I need to switch to H1B immediately to keep my H1B status alive? What I want to now is for some time i want to continue my job with Company A on L1B by going for L1B renewal and later once the recession is over I want to change my status to H1B? can I do this?
Please advice me what steps I should take to continue in USA?
