Not really, broadly speaking lack of information can never be a benefit to consumer. (Read: hidden clauses in agreements). It might be that they have been doing that and we don't know. You will ONLY know if you apply for another H1B transfer or any other application say I-140/I-485 with new employer and then USCIS MIGHT tell you that your I-140 is revoked on MM/DD/YYYY and you are no longer in valid H1B status since then. That would be too late and it is not retroactive. Remember that onus is on you to maintain valid H1B status all the time during the period of H1B. Once again I am not saying what I mention above is the correct interpretation of law, but in the absence of any clarify it can be one of the implication.
well...The history is that USCIS did release the proposed regulation dealing with all these back in 2002 if I remember correctly..Then there was a comment period...They got so many comments...that after that they did not even bother to publish the regulations in the federal register...That was the last heard of it....Now the only time when the issue of these regulations can possibliy come up is when there is a leadership change in USCIS...Any our fate would depend on who is in control of USCIS at that particular instance...
But this sword would fall some day..I donot know when..I donot know if it would fall on us....or we would just steer clear....The thing is that there is a lot of resistance to changes in status quo both inside USCIS and AILA...
Well AILA would want the status quo to continue....Them lawyers are making money of us anyway.....
I am in US last 7 years...The career is stagnant..No sign of GC anywhere....I am very despondent...But then what else is new ???

2000-2002 was worst. Who didnt do job search during that time have no idea how it felt like.
I just came out of school then and it felt like sky is falling on me. Becoming desparate to survive, i went to work in a gas station. The lady owner didnt pay me after i worked for a week saying i am not concentrating enough. Then out of no where i found a technology job that paid 17$ per hour to keep me going and they did my H1 a year later in 2002. It just made me more strong i guess. But, it is a hell of an experience. Most of my freinds went for second masters or PHD to Keep the status.
It was so hard to find a job those days. I was myself unemployed for so many months along with a lot of my friends and everyone of us was highly qualified and experienced. Since 2002 end onwards everyone of us has a good job without any breaks.
I hope we don't get to see the 2001 recession again and I am sure it won't be that bad this time.
It is the financial sector which is paying for its own mistakes. It might spill over to the other sectors of the economy but not to the degree it happened in 2001. Just my opinion.

Is suggests the spillover should occur, but doesnt specify when to apply the spillover and that could explain why DoS didnt assign the entire 12K pool of spillover numbers to all pending /preadjudicated petitions.

Some Bank Notary's tell that way.. Once I had the same answer. Went to another branch and got the notarization.. You can try different branches in your area.
For Photo - any light background is ok. Infact I did it myself thru online website and printed in walmart.. got the renewal in less than 10 days.
as per http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/NEW%20PASSPORT.asp#1
The following documents and fee are required to be submitted with the application:
� After having filled the application online, print a copy.
� Affix photograph as per specification in the box (do not staple photograph)
� Old Passport (in original)
� Additional booklet, if any, (in original)
� Three recent passport size photographs (3.5 cm x 3.5 cm -front facial pose). Photograph should have only a white background. (Photograph with coloured or dark glasses or in uniform or in Polaroid prints or Computer prints will not be accepted). One photograph to be pasted on the space provided on the first page of the application form
� Two proofs of residential address of the applicant, which may include current Driving License, Utility Bill, rent lease agreement showing the residential address.
Photocopy of the first five and last two pages of the original / old passport;
� Pages of passport showing US visa or Green Card (in original) Employment Authorization Card (in original) or other visa documents must be shown at the counter. A photocopy of the entire document / Card should be appended with the application (in case the application is sent by mail, a notarized copy of these documents should be sent);
� In case application for Green Card or EAC or visa is pending/being processed, a copy of documents in support of this fact must be submitted;
� In case the current passport does not contain the name of the spouse and the applicant wishes to have it entered in the new passport, copy of notarized marriage certificate must be submitted along with the application.
I am confused with few things in the above list of reqd documents:
1.It says white background , But I am only able get Cream colored background photos in CVS or Walgreen's
2.When I went notary in Bank Of America , the lady at bank says that she can't do notary for any copy of the document , she says she can do notary for a Application form that is signed in front of her.Same with marriage certificate.
I am confused and I need to travel by the end of this month.I need to drive 10 hrs 1-way to go to the consulate personally.

I received an RFE too in Nov 1st week. It was about the evaluation. (It was submitted earlier but still) Lawyer mailed them the required document and now the status has changed to "We received your response to the request on Nov 14th and the case processing has resumed".
How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)
lookin at the approvals i think it will take anywhere from 1-3 months

EAD and AP is good, but we need to see FP notice which shows 485 has started processing.
We really cannot use EAD for 6 months to change job, so there was no hurry to mail EAD/AP.
Anyone got FP notice ? Will it come from NSC or CSC.
Most likely NSC as FP starts when processing starts.
EAD/AP are seperate from 485 process as per the operating procedure.

Family Based Cases: 682,936
Employment-based or Other: 110,786
this is what i dont understand. they say a visa number is deducted only when they can actually start working on the 485 (i.e when the priority date is current) so would it mean that there are still thousands of applications coming in every month for eb2 with priority dates prior to june 2002 that is causing this retrogression?

We have 8000+ members but only 200+ contributed. I have been thinking about it and here is one possible answer. If you look at the poll result about whether we should push for 485 or not, there are about 280 guys supporting this goal. Maybe almost all recurring contributions are from this group. :confused:

My 6th year H1B is expiring on April 28, 2008. I applied labor through PERM on October 2, 2007. I got the audit letter on December 3, 07. This audit letter does not state anything about the issue of the audit letter. However, the sentence �The job duties and/ or requirements are beyond those defined for the job by SOC/ O*Net code an Occupation Title provided by the State Workforce Agency� is highlighted in this letter. The letter also request for Business Necessity Letter and Recruitment Report. My case is the EB2 case for a Project Manager position with a minimum of 2 years working experience. A couple of programs and knowledge in the field are also required for this position. At the recruitment times, there are no applicants applied to this position. The company has approximately 16 employees including me.
I�m very confused and not sure what to do because my lawyer refused to answer any question. In my case that the Labor Certification is still pending (under audit) and my H1B is expiring in April, I wonder if I should start taking vacation now or go to work in another country for approximately 6-7 months and come back later to use the rest of my H1B until October 2, 08 to meet 365 days period? After October 2, 08, I can then start filing the H1B Extension for 1 year. Or should I wait until my I-140 approved and come back around October 2, 08 and do the H1B Extension for another 3 years? Or should I stay in US until April, 08 and take vacation until October, 08 and then comeback around October, 08 to file H1B extension? Also, do I still have to be employ full time with my current employer during this whole period? Can the job only be part time? Also, do I have to get pay the whole time from my current US employer during this whole period? Thank you very much for your help.

you should be fine....doctor will just mention that you need to get one more shot....
Guys,
Thanks a lot for the response.
I was finally able to get a doctors appointment on July 24th.
Now comes the tricky part:
Is the varicella vaccine required ? I have not had chicken pox as a child. The blood work showed that I need a chicken pox vaccine.
I went to the county health department today , and they gave me shots for tetanus, MMR, PPD, and one shot for varicella. They said that I have to come back in 30 days for another shot of varicella.
I am not sure what my doctor will say to this when I meet him on July 24th. Also, is it possible for the doctor to provide an I-693 with a statement that the varicella shot will be completed later ?

Why not? They have to send the receipt notice on time. They have to send AP / EAD within certain days. Immigrants plan certain events based on these laws. If anyone decides to prepare and file a lawsuit for not getting EAD, he/she could do it now as per the law. Some one said, there is a law that they should be giving EAD in 90 days.
Again EAD is valid for only one year. You have to file in advance and you will get one year from the date of filing or approval I am not sure. If you dont get EAD on time, then youare not supposed to work. PERIOD. If this happens a lot, then lawsuit is for sure from someone like me who have family with two kids and play by rules. I have strong backing of my company HR.
If I interpret correctly you are saying because USCIS will not like to work on so many EADs and APs year after year AND SO they themselves will seek increase in annual GC numbers to clear up the mess. I wish your predictions would turn out to be true.:)
However, if enough EB GC numbers are not available, USCIS can not be repsonsibe for this. They have corrected the one mistake they did with the visa bulletin fiasco. I don't see any other basis for additional lawsuits.

I plead Guilty, but to lesser charges.
As a long time EB3 sufferer (and will continue to suffer for a long time to come, 7 years and counting), it is very difficult to sign up for "hang in there, and hang in together". By now my spinal cord is at the breaking point, I was 5.4 when I started hanging in there, now I am 7.2 and growing (check out the latest Guinness book of record for the longest neck).
IV has done a lot, and I applaud it for doing so. However, I don't subscribe to "hang in together" mantra anymore (the current EB1 spill-over still rankles me), but I don't use IV for such discussion anymore. *Some* EB2'ers initially bashed us for being silly and jealous, and now they want EB3s to not port. Just as the reputation I have shored up, it looks like "EB3s are infamous around these parts".

I do not think this is standard. I worked for a consultant company for 7 years and never saw an agreement like that!!
The only major issue I see here is "Reasonable notice period"? what is considered to be sufficient notice period? If they say it is 2 weeks, then I dont see a problem in that. Most companies would expect that you provide them with atleast 2 weeks notice before leaving employment. This is normal. But without specifying anything of that sort, it is scary. After you sign the agreement, the company might come back and say, the sufficient notice period is 3 months, Then you are screwed. So, clear those things up.
As far as the accuracy is timesheets are concerned, those are pretty much standard language. Since you will get your timesheet signed by your client manager and always have a copy of this timesheet, you will be safe. Also, tranfering your billing is always part of any non-compete agreement. Not just with Desi consultants.
So, the only thing I see is the broader scope of the reasonable notice period. IF you can get that cleared and have the number of days of notice period expected in the agreement, you should be ok.
