Cap on skilled immigration unlawful: UK court - World News - IBNLive (http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cap-on-skilled-immigration-unlawful-uk-court/137822-2.html?from=tn)
London: A temporary cap on the number of skilled workers from India and other countries outside the European Union was introduced in June 'unlawfully', the High Court ruled on Friday.
Home Secretary Theresa May had introduced the cap as an interim measure before a permanent cap to be in place from April 2011. It was challenged on the ground that ministers had 'sidestepped' parliamentary scrutiny before announcing the
temporary cap.
The legal challenge to the cap of 24,100 until April 2011 was brought by the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) and English Community Care Association, and was upheld by judges on Friday.
The Home Office said this did not imperil its flagship immigration policy but the opposition Labour said the police it was in "chaos" after the court ruling.
The ruling has nullified the current temporary cap, meaning it is no longer in force.
The cap was one of the first measures of the coalition government that promised to bring down immigrations from hundreds of thousands every year to 'tens of thousands.
In today's ruling, Lord Justice Sullivan and Justice Burton concluded that the home secretary had not gone through the proper parliamentary procedures before implementing the cap, which took effect without a vote in Parliament.
The judges said: "The secretary of state made no secret of her intentions. There can be no doubt that she was attempting to side-step provisions for Parliamentary scrutiny set up under provisions of the 1971 Immigration Act and her attempt was for that reason unlawful." As a result, it said no lawful limits were now in place for Tier One and Tier Two applicants from abroad. The Home Office said it was still "firmly committed" to reducing levels of net migration. "I am disappointed with today's verdict," Immigration minister Damian Green said, adding: "We will do all in our power to continue to prevent a rush of applications before our more permanent measures are in place".

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
Today's Wall Street Journal has their main front page article on how H-1B quotas have not been used up yet and argues that the market should dictate the numbers rather than Government quotas.
Arbitrary quotas have been ruled unconstitutional by all courts in every domestic affairs except for immigration law. You cannot have quotas for segregation or desegregation, for diversity in public education. You cannot have quotas at workplace. We read in Law School that quotas inherently violate due process. But I had to throw my constitution down my office window when I started practicing immigration law.
When the colonists came to America, there was no problem, no quotas. White Anglo Saxon Protestants could simply come and work. Then as more and more Italians and Chinese came in, restrictions began to be put in from 1875 onwards. Chinese were banned because they were "Coolie labor" for lewd and immoral purposes. After World War 1, the Congress restricted immigration to 2% of their nationality already settled in America. Since there were no non white people in the US at that time, most of Asia and Africa was shut out from the US. This was done to preserve the racial mix in the United States. Since then a lot of restrictive immigration Acts establishing arbitrary quotas were enacted and still valid today. The Permanent Residency Process has quotas in both Employment based and Family Immigration. So does the H-1B program for bringing in the brightest and the best.
These quotas have risen from anti Immigration and Xenophobic attitudes prevalent in America. As the Wall Street Journal points out, why should a very bright person from say India or China come to the US to be treated as a second class citizen, at the bottom of the social ladder? They would rather stay in their own country which are emerging economies. Yet, as the WSJ articles point out, 35% of Microsoft patents were developed by immigrants, and the person who developed Google News was an H-1B from India.
Those patents will just go to India, and someday the children or grandchildren of these anti immigration forces will seek immigration to India.

Respected Madam/Sir,
I have an issue with my H1B application. Please help me.
I attended my H1B interview at Mumbai Consulate on 02nd Dec 2010. At that time Officer told me that you are qualified for H1B Visa but company is not good for you. Officer convinced me to withdraw the petition.
Then they gave me one form and asked me to sign on it and write you are withdrawing the petition.
Next day I called my sponsor and told everything. But sponsor told me that he is ready to provide all the docs and few applications already approve at consulate Hyderabad.
On 20th Dec 2010, I took new appointment and went for interview. At the time of interview I told that "I withdrawn my application as per suggestions given by Visa Officer, But my sponsor had a debate with me and put forth the point that they are not violating any norms and laws, and thereby ready to provide all sorts of doc.Please reconsider my application as they offered me very challenging role".
Then Officer asked few docs about my sponsor and asked me to come directly to consulate with passport and gave me 221 G blue form.
On 5th Jan 2010, I went with my docs and Visa Officer granted me VISA and now I got the passport with VISA.
But, on 4th Jan 2010, just before one day, I got a below mail from Consulate Mumbai.
Dear Sir,
Based on the interviews and documents submitted at U.S. Consulate General Mumbai, we have returned your petition to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for review and possible revocation. If a consular officer receives information during the interview process that was not available to the adjudicating immigration officer at the time of petition approval and that shows the beneficiary of a petition is not entitled to the accorded status, then the petition must be returned to USCIS for re-examination. Due to this requirement, consular officers returned your petition and additional supporting documents to the Kentucky Consular Center.
You may address further inquiries on this petition to the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.
Now I am US, and Officers didnt asked anything at port of entry.
But in USCIS website, the petition status is showing that they recieved my petition from state department and they are reviewing it.
Can I get the SSN and Am I legal to stay in US. What should I do. Please let me.
Thanks in advance

It looks like we just missed a great opportunity to post a legal immigration question on change.gov. The goods news is that they will roll this out next week. So if you want to submit a question, be ready!...I will be sure to bump this thread..
Go here and type "legal immigration" in the search questions field.
http://change.gov/page/content/20081211_openforquestions
I saw a few questions already posted about legal immigration reform. We should all register and vote for these questions(whenever they roll this out again next week). It takes less than a minute to register. All they ask for is your name, zip code and email address.
Mods, Please discard this if this idea has already been put forward.

My 6 year H1 term expired in Jan 2010 (not applied for extension yet). I live in IL.
I took the motorcycle training class and passed. Now, I have to go to the DMV to get the license. My existing 4 wheeler license is valid upto 2011. Will I get my motorcyle license only till 2010 (end of H1)?
Anyone knows how this works?

Hello
As far as I know/understsand : to be eligible for H1B visa for 2010, a company should applke for H1B on april 1st 2010, so that the person gets it by october 1 2010 right??
if the 65000 limit is still available , lets say after october 1st 2010, can the company still apply for H1B after october 1st or november or even ion december, as long as the H1B cap 65000 is still available??
thank you?

As long as you have approval copy on hand, you have nothing to worry. You should be concerned only if the status reads as 'case reopened and pending'

Hello,
According to my knowledge the majority of name checks submitted are electronically checked and returned to the submitting agency as having "No Record" within 48-72 hours. The processing time for FBI name checks usually take from 30-120 days but timing does vary from case to case. The FBI�s intention is to have all visa requests processed within 120 days. Most name check requests that are over 60 days old are the result of the time required to retrieve and review field office record information. Any case which is not processed within this time frame is usually delayed because of a potential "hit" which will be further reviewed manually.

I have a approved I-140. Applied for 3 year H1 extension in Oct 2006. 3 year H1 extension approved on 5th Feb 2007. Received H4 dependents extensions. Did not receive my I-797. Requested my consulting company to check why I did not receive my I-797 with I-94. They lied to me that they called USCIS and I/they/lawyer will get copy in 30/45 days. My MN drivers license got canceled/suspended on 04/24/2007 because I did not submit approved I-797/I-94. Company lawyer informed my company that they applied under premium processing for duplicate copy on 04/16/2007. I called USCIS and they told me this is bullshit. There is no premium processing for duplicate document. Lawyer does not want to reveal which form he filed for duplicate document. I also applied this week using form I-824 for duplicate copy of approved H1 extension. Called USCIS, and they said I will get a receipt number in 15 days and copy in 2-3 months. This copy will not include I-94, so it is useless. What options do I have. My lawyer is an American and he thinks it is below his dignity to answer my calls.
What options do I now have? Any options will be appreciated.
I think you can file Form 120 for a duplicate I 94 in case it is lost/mutilated etc. please check USCIS website. hope this helps
