I came across this forum a couple of days back and decided to do start on what I can do best. I may be somewhat naive in my thinking, but it is better to take initiative and make mistakes instead of waiting. Please do give your honest feedback and opinion.
Forums are designed for discussion, however we need to also focus on implementation. For that, we need to put the right communication tools in place to disseminate information, such as wikis, egroups, and calendars.
We need a somewhat structured organization of ideas, discussions, questions, projects and other things.This will allow us to handle more people gracefully (scale), allow people who have volunteered time to work on projects, allow discussions for those who want to discuss.
I have gone ahead and done the following (I do not intend to step on anyone's toes) :
1. Registered immigrationvoice.net and used Google Apps to provide email, calendar, and docs services.
2. Installed a wiki at http://ivwiki.com
3. Google groups for NJ IV: http://groups.google.com/group/njiv
I am in the NJ area (Edison) and would like to host a meeting this weekend (or the next) to exchange ideas and come up with some concrete (next) steps to take. I have space to host up to 20 people. If you are in NJ, we should talk. Please contact me via email: inc.idler@gmail.com or join the NJ IV group at http://groups.google.com/group/njiv and respond to my post.
Best,
Idler.

Hello Experts,
Little bit of background. I have been working on h1 since 2003 and applied labor in Mar 2005.
I have was able to get my application with 2007 filers. Got my 140 approved last year and ead and FP done as well. My GC sponsoring company is a desi consultancy, which is helpful to a certain extent and I have been with them since 2004.
I am in a bit of a dilemma now. The client, where I have been working for last few years, have instated a new policy in which contractors must be on W2 with the vendors. Vendor I am working with is not big and like any other consultancy (Tek, comsys), will fire if you don't have a project for 15-20 days. In the past, I wouldn't have bothered even thinking about this and moved on for another project but because of recession and difficult job market and I am contemplating this move.
After doing research, I am thinking of the following strategy.
I will transfer my h1b with the vendor and will not use EAD. Plan to work with the vendor for as long as possible and when the contract ends move back with the GC sponsoring employer. I am going with assumption that the GC sponsor will not revoke my 140 (even though it shouldn't matter as I am past 180 days with 485 and 140 is approved) and when the contract ends I have something to fall back on to. Doing that could secure me if USCIS asks EVL in future and I can simply my GC sponsoring company to show that for future employment. Also, I want to keep h1b as a way to bring my wife (if and when, with divine intervention, I get married somehow).
Do you think if this is a viable solution? Any suggestion is welcome.

The news from CIS brings joy for a lot of the IV members.
So, express thanks by donating as much as you can for IV to continue to work for our cause.
Comparing with the attorney & medical expenses, the donation to IV is a small amount, and it will be worth a lot more than you can imagine.
BTW, I just donated $100 from Google checkout.

Can we try SKIL bill.
Friends of ALIPAC, The usual suspects like Lindsay Graham, Ted Kennedy, and John Kyl are pushing to add the Dream Act and other illegal alien amnesty language to unrelated bills on the Senate floor TONIGHT! We have reports of attempts to attach these measures to the war funding bill and the Homeland Security funding bill. We need everyone lighting up the DC phone lines and voice mails TONIGHT and THURSDAY, with an urgent message. "Senator _______, do NOT allow any immigration legislation to be added to other bills!

I have a very complicated case, and I need some answer that can release me from all this stress.
I came to the United States country in 2007 with a F1 visa. I won a scholarship sponsored by the government of my country to complete a bachelor degree. I was sent to a community college to improve my English skills. I finished my associated degree at the community College last spring 2009. Since my school only issued the I-20 until June 2009, my visa was also issue until that date. Therefore, my visa is already expired. However, already got accepted into a 4 year college and I am starting in Fall 2009, so I am still under F1 status.
The institution that is sponsoring my scholarship agreed to pay for my bachelor. However, they are requesting all scholarship students to change their status to j1 by the beginning of spring 2010. If I don't do it, I will lose my scholarship and therefore my status since I don't enough money to pay for the very expensive tuition. The institution wants us to go back for two years after we finish our bachelor, so they forcing us to change our visas.
I have been living with my girlfriend since last year. She is a Permanent Resident since 2003 . She is planning to apply for citizenship on February 2010. We are planning to get married by the end of this month (August). I need to go back to my country to change my status to j1 by the end of the fall semester, so I can keep my scholarship.
Here are my questions:
Might getting married now increase the risk of been rejected when apply for J 1 visa?
When would be the best time to get married?
When would be the best time to apply for green card? (Summit I-130, I-485, I-765 and G-325)
My fiancee and I don't have any problems with me going back for 2 years after I finish my studies, as long as I come to visit her about 3 or 4 times in the period of 2 years.
Thanks for your help.

Hi ivvm. Thanks for the info. DO EB-1 and EB-2 require LC? Would the NIW bypass LC? Is NIW filing equivalent to EB-2? What is the importance of Job description?

Hi All,
How many of you gone through this postings in www.Murthy.com website.
"Priority Date Movement and H1B Extension Strategies"
This article states that one can't apply for 3 years H1b even if their I140 is approved and they should go for 1yr extension. In my case I am short of 20days to be eligible for 1yr extension. since my H1B expires 20days before my Labour filling date.
Note:
a) I dont have my visa stamped on my pp
b) My wife's H4 expires on July07 mine oct\07
c) I have already filed for 3yrs of H1B and H4 extension as of May before the PD became current.
1) So What are my options?
i) Apply for 485 and wait for EAD.
ii) Leave the H1B petition as such Apply EAD and wait for the decisions on my case
iii) Go to canda for 25 days and come back with out stamping and recapture the dates and apply for 1yr extension
iv) Go to canada get H1B stamped and go to INDIA for a month and get H4 stamping for my wife and come back and recpature the dates and get 1yr extension.
v)File 485 get receipt and go to INDIA for 3months and recapture the dates
and get 1Yr extn and come back in H1B.
vi) Don't File 485. Go outside country gain 21days and apply 1Y extn.
vii) with draw current petition and apply for my wife till 10\07.
2) What happens if my 3yrs extenson petition is rejected\RFE is sent? Will my wife be out of status bcos her h4 is valid only till 07/07.
what happens if she has to leave if the petition is cancelled. Her I94 is expired.whether she will face any problems at the airport.
3)Can she maintain a valid status after 07/07 if the case is still pending?
if Yes untill when?
thanks for reading this .
Can anyone suggest a good and best way 2 go in this scenario.
Thanks

Guess its easier.. and then they give negative reps instead of answers... Anyway.. Seems IV is losing focus and with this attitude of majority.. many more will go away...
I'll request all contributors to feel proud but don't boast all the time of your contributions and expect contributions from the others rather than questions...
I expect more negative.. as this is the latest trend in IV.. Anyway... where there is a will.. there is a way.. So I'll find my answer :-) and will continue answering folks who need... People will contribute at their pace and in the manner they feel good... You just can't force them... without being an example...

2) I am on H1 status will it be a issue at POE to have gone for this long
3) What docs should I be carrying to awnser questions at POE.Is client letter mandatory or continued employment letter and I797 good
Kindly let me know your advice in this case

What is unemployment wage report? I read that many visa seekers were asked for this.
Also, they were asked for a notarized list of all the employees with their job title, salary and immigration status. Wow now to get salary information for everyone is breach of privacy.

This is copy paste from july 07 VB...
Should the rate of demand for numbers be very heavy in the coming months, it could become necessary to retrogress some cut-off dates for September, most likely for China-mainland born and India, but also possibly for Mexico and Philippines.
does it mean the Sept 07 bulleting may have some cut-off dates ?
What it could be for EB3 India ? Not beyond the Jun 03' as published in Jun 07 VB i guess ?
Please let me know your comments.

Hi Folks.
Whats the cost of filing a motion to reopen the case 485 if wrongly rejected(either due to using AC21...). I mean lawyer fees + other fees.
I am sure there are folks here who went through this.

Hi,
my original labor got approved with a PD in July 2007 with Company A who is my current employer. I also applied for a seperate 140 based on a pre-approved labor in July 2007 with Company B and the PD for that labor is in 2005.
i was told that i can apply for 140/485 with my original labor and once the 140 for the pre-approved labor is approved, i can request for replacing the 140 with the other one with an earlier PD.
could any one repalce the 140 like this? if yes, how long it took for the process. does both 140 needs to be approved to do the interfiling?
what details we need for the 140 that we want to use. just the filing date, A# & approval date or the original or copy of the approval notice.
if Company B or its attoreny is not willing to provide the 140 details or approval notice, is there any way to get those details from INS.
i dont have any details with me except that i know that they applied for 140.

AFAIK those who filed after July 30, 2007 filed with the new fee, and do not have to pay the fee for the EAD. However you can't e-file, but have to send in your paper application form.
