Thank you everybody that has contributed. We need to raise $50,000 in the next 15 days. That is $3334 raised every day. Now even though this looks like a big amount to raise, with a collective effort we can do this.
Goal by end of today: $23,338
Amount Reached: $6,300

Folks,
It is very important for everyone to comprehend the difference between a litigation attorney & your regular immigration attorney.
Your regular immigration attorney understands immigration law and will file your paper work, follow up with CIS, etc. Litigation attorneys handle litigation - they argue in court and fight for you.
The two are completely different practice areas from what I have seen. Most of the cases that we come across are the regular Immigration Attorneys who will not go to trial if things get tricky.
Please remember this.

I think pre-adjudication solves this catch-22 situation, and they have been pre-adjudicating quite a bit over the past two years. So, I dont think that this is an issue.
>> I think pre-adjudication solves this catch-22 situation
No. It does not.
Since, as per letter, country of chargeability is assigned at the time of approval (i.e. when immigrant visa number is assigned)

I have already send an email...I'll post the reply (If I get one).
Folks, I got the response from AF.
This is what I sent them:
Your message............................ : I would never ever fly Air France, because I am a resident of India and your Airline treat Indians very badly, discriminating because of the country of citizenship and color. Shame on you for making 55 Indians wait in the airport for more then 12 hrs while the rest of passengers (non-indians) were arranged to go and stay in a hotel. Shame on you for ill treating the passengers in your Country (Paris, France). 1 less customer for you Air France!!! My suggestion: Change your attitude. Don't give substandard treatment to non-white passengers.
This is AF response:

Dear Mr -------,
Thank you for your message. On behalf of Air France, I apologize for any difficulties caused by this unfortunate incident.
Flight AF 218 from Paris to Bombay, operated by an Airbus A330 with 169 passengers and 12 crew members on board, left Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport at 12:45 on 10th May and returned at 20:06 on the 10th of May, as while en-route the pilots noticed some vibrations from the Cargo hold, which could not be checked during the flight.
At Paris-Charles de Gaulle, under the supervision of competent authorities, checks were carried out on the technical state of the aircraft but no abnormalities were found.
Passengers with a valid transit visa were put up at nearby hotels for the night. Also despite the fact that transit visa�s are issued by the immigration authorities, Air France staff mediated the issuance of visa�s which turned out to be a time consuming process. Needless to say passengers were taken care of by the Air France ground staff who spoke fluent English and passengers were also provided with food and water.
All the passengers were transferred to another Air France aircraft the next day, flight AF 218A which left Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 14:15 and reached Mumbai safely. Air France regrets any and all inconvenience caused to the passengers due to this incident. At all times, the main concern of Air France is to ensure the security of passenger.
I do hope that the above explanation will help soften the negative impact of this situation and hope to have the privilege of welcoming you aboard Air France in the future, to your entire satisfaction.

Top 5 Concerns Regarding Employment-Based Immigration in Senate Bill
1. Decimation of Employment-Based Immigration System: � Eliminates first, second, and third employment-based immigration categories. � �Merit-based" point system completely disconnects employment-based immigration from employers, who have only a negligible role in new system and are unable to sponsor specific employees for permanent residence. � No provisions for multinational managers, extraordinary ability aliens, outstanding professors or researchers. � No labor market test required to protect native-born workers. 2. Lack of Path to Permanent Status for Future Flow Essential and Highly Skilled Workers: � New Y temporary worker program would create a constantly churning workforce, as it provides only a two-year nonimmigrant visa and requires workers to leave the U.S. for one year before being eligible to renew their work visa for a subsequent 2-year period. Maximum 6 years in Y status. � Carve-out of 10,000 green cards per year for "essential" Y workers, but no bridge to allow essential and highly skilled but non-degreed workers a path to eventual permanent lawful status. 3. Lack of Adequate Numbers of Future Green Cards for Employment-Based Immigrants: � Totally inadequate immigrant visa numbers (approximately 140,000 new green cards per year until the family backlogs are cleared over an 8 year period). � Future legal immigration program (after 8 years of family backlog clearance) limited to 380,000 �point system� visas, guaranteeing that new backlogs will grow immediately, and that undocumented immigration will continue. � Totally inadequate carve-outs for essential workers. 4. Gaps in Green Card Availability � Immigrant visa petitions filed after May 15, 2007 on the basis of the current employment-based preference system will be rejected. � During the period between May 15, 2007 and the date the new merit based system is up and running (likely October 1, 2008), no new employment-based green card applications can be filed. 5. Decimation of H-1B Program: � Adds new restrictions prohibiting employers from obtaining H-1B workers where formal degrees do not exactly correlate to proposed positions.
� Eliminates dual intent for both H-1B and L non-immigrants. This would interfere with companies� ability to recruit someone from a U.S. university and seek a green card for them while employing them on an H-1B. � Overregulates legitimate H-1B employers by subjecting all H-1B employers to burdensome rules currently applied to �willful violators� and H-1B dependent employers. � Huge increase in H-1B fees (from current $1500 to new $5000 by Sanders amendment) o Will force companies to move projects and U.S. jobs to overseas facilities, and will make it all but impossible for many businesses to stay competitive. o Will inflict disproportionate pain on small firms and American innovators. o Additional fees for filing, premium processing, recruitment and training, antifraud, compliance and other legal and administrative costs can amount to $9,000 just to secure initial H-1B approval. o H-1B employers already contribute more than $127.5 million per year to U.S. job training and scholarships through existing fees. This training and scholarship fund would go up to over $200 million per year even if the H-1B cap were only raised to 115,000, as currently proposed. o Scholarship and training fees U.S. companies now pay for each H-1B professional hired are approaching $2 billion since 1999. o These fees have funded more than 40,000 scholarships for U.S. students in math and science through the National Science Foundation, hands-on science programs for 80,000 middle and high school students and 3,700 teachers, and training for more than 55,000 U.S. workers and professionals. o U.S. businesses pay over $91 billion a year in state and local taxes directed toward public education. o Increased H-1B fees are nothing more than a tax on innovation that will end up driving U.S. jobs overseas by making it more difficult to hire the highly educated talent America needs. � American professionals in "computer and mathematical" occupations are at virtual full employment, with a low annual unemployment rate of 2.4 percent in 2006. Cutting off the supply of H-1B talent will only hurt American competitiveness. � The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects growth of 100,000 jobs a year in computer and math science occupations between 2004 and 2014, the highest of all white collar professional categories. Note Re: Possible Amendments:
Cantwell Amendment (#1249) One amendment that has been �filed,� but is not currently �pending� is the Cantwell amendment which is very important to business immigration interests. We do not know at this time what will happen with this amendment � whether it will come to the floor for debate or be negotiated through unanimous consent into the final package. Nevertheless,
it is important to let senators know that this amendment is strongly supported by businesses. The Cantwell amendment would set up a parallel and complementary employer-sponsored merit-based program. This �employer-sponsored� stream would let companies determine the skill sets that they need and would like to sponsor for a green card and this employer-sponsored merit based system would provide 140,000 visas separate and in addition to those currently in the bill. This amendment would protect U.S. workers by applying labor market tests to employer sponsorship of foreign workers. In addition to dealing with employment-based green cards, this amendment also addresses some of the �grand bargain�s� changes to the H-1B program by striking the presumption of �immigrant intent� and restoring the �degree equivalency� provision. Furthermore, the amendment, while maintaining the provisions to strengthen H-1B enforcement in the bill, would eliminate overregulation of legitimate H-1B employers by striking provisions that would require every employer comply with burdensome rules that currently apply only to �willful violators� and to employers with excessive numbers of H-1B employees.
Durbin-Grassley Amendment (#1231) There will also possibly be a vote on a Durbin-Grassley amendment. The amendment would strike provisions in the bill that allow the Secretary of Labor to determine whether or not there is a shortage of U.S. workers in the occupation and area of intended employment for which a Y nonimmigrant is sought. This amendment would require employers to follow extensive hiring and recruitment procedures even in areas where there labor shortages as determined by the Secretary of Labor.

Does the SKILL bill help persons who have already completed their masters or will it also help those who are pursuing their MBA/MS? (i.e if SKILL is implemented)
Will a person with 2 yrs experience and a MS degree or a person with 6 yrs experience and currently working towards their MBA (part-time) be exempted from the visa numbers?

You make no sense man. I am not against EB3. I just said what I think, and I can be wrong too. If you dont like this just ignore or give your view on how it justified to change the line in the middle of the game.
MC
You are right in acknowledging that you may be wrong. Where you may be wrong? Maybe your "opinion" that EB2 should be given GC first before a single EB3 is entertained. Maybe the first-come-first-served argument is the valid one after all.
How does "my" argument make sense? I say, ok, give priority to EB2, but only within the same year. So, last years' EB3 has to be allocated first, before this year's EB2/EB3 are considered. And for this year, dont process EB3's unless EB2's for this year are done
But, do you realize, all our opinions are moot? Come back to reality, and we immigrant community as a whole, get to ask only ONE wish. Using your wisdom, what should that one wish be? Ikken Hissatsu. Kill with one blow.

Is it possible to upgrade from EB3 to EB2, if person is working on EAD after AC21 is invoked and H1 is expired?
I believe it is possible if your company is willing to do it. Having said that, you would be better off asking this question to a qualified lawyer.

The H1B visa belongs, in effect, to the company that sponsors it. You cannot work for any other company on that visa other than sponsor. If this is a transfer, then, In a so-called "visa transfer" what actually happens is that the initial visa is cancelled in favor of another one issued for the new employer. What that means is OP's work with old employer is considered as "unauthorized work". Do not consider this as illegal presence, as his legal presence is controlled by a valid I-94.
I hope you assume this as a new H1B not a transfer or else your post is wrong.
Do not give misleading information. When you do the transfer the original visa is not cancelled. In fact you can have more than one H1B at the same time and work for them. For example two part time jobs for different employers. But the only catch you should always work only for the sponsoring company. If you decide not to join them at all, you can do so. But you have to maintain the status thru your current employement or another employer.

Frist Pushes For Quick Vote On Immigration
Majority Leader Bypasses Committee
By Jonathan Weisman, Washington Post Staff Writer, Friday, March 17, 2006; A04
Frustrated by the Senate Judiciary Committee's slow progress on politically sensitive immigration legislation, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) introduced his own bill last night to secure the nation's borders and crack down on illegal immigration.
Frist's bill will go directly to the full Senate. But he said he will allow Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) to substitute a committee bill if Specter's panel could approve one March 27. Otherwise, the majority leader will stick to a strict, two-week schedule to finish work on what he conceded would be "as challenging a bill as any we'll have to address this year."
The majority leader's power move stunned committee Republicans and Democrats, who have been struggling for three weeks to reach agreement on a comprehensive immigration bill. Specter said he objected to the maneuver.
"It would be chaos on the floor to have this bill debated without the committee acting first," Specter said yesterday afternoon, only to grudgingly accept Frist's move in the evening.
Some Republican aides said they believed presidential politics were at work. Frist, a prospective candidate for 2008, left out of his bill the guest-worker program that President Bush has demanded and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) -- a potential White House rival -- has championed. Such a program is unpopular with many conservative voters, who see it as amnesty for illegal immigrants. Many Republicans believe a new law to get tough on illegal immigrants is one of the few pieces of legislation that must be passed before the November elections if the GOP is to maintain the allegiance of conservative voters.
Frist said he was motivated by a belief that only prompt Senate action will allow Senate and House negotiators to reach a compromise on a final bill this year. The House passed in December a border security bill that did not include a guest-worker program.
Senators from both parties have come to near-agreement on provisions bolstering the U.S. border patrol, adding new technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles and raising penalties on illegal immigrants and those who aid them. Sens. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and John Cornyn (R-Tex.) neared agreement yesterday on a guest-worker program that could smooth the way to bipartisan passage of a Judiciary Committee bill when lawmakers return from a week-long break next week.
Under the deal, Kennedy would agree that illegal immigrants who qualify for a guest-worker visa would have to go to their home countries for a year before applying for a visa extension of three or four additional years. But, Senate aides said, that one-year return could be waived if guest workers' employers said their continued labor was necessary or if a guest worker could prove a consistent work history.
With Democrats, Bush and many Republicans favoring a guest-worker program, immigration advocates say no immigration bill can get out of the Senate without one. But House opponents say they have commitments from Republican leaders that no guest-worker program will be considered on the House floor this year.

I agree 100 %. But even if the officer wants to know about out I 140, it wud be just a 1 min process for them as they can check if a recipt was generated based on the names.
If we put the copies of the fee checks, that would help even more because that means that our I 140 application was accepted.
With tracking receipts, cheque copies and a letter, I believe we would be able to establish evidence that, 140 was received by the service center.
Totally missing out on showing that I 140 is filed is no evidence at all. Showing every possible document to prove that the docment was filed, should be do the work.
Anyways since there are so many hundreds of people who filed I 140 in the recent days, I believe some alternative from USCIS wud show up in the next few days .......
If we put the copies of the fee checks, that would help even more because that means that our I 140 application was accepted.

The placement statistics from the Rotman school of Management website is quite impressive.
I've a few questions for you. How bright are the job prospects after doing an MBA from U of T in the current recession wolrd? Are part-time MBA students given equal opportunity in job placements? What's the % of placement among Canadian vs US employers?. Howmuch salary can a person with Engineering degree + US experience + Canadian MBA expect to get?
Placement statistics there are hyped up. Not that great. However the US ones are also hyped. So lets be fair here. US school dont tell
foreign students that without GC employers dont even want to look at you. Even Harvard foreign students are having a very bad time.
Plus here they allow spouse to work. If the marriage is more than 3 years , then that
spousal work permit leads to resident tuition as well. In US F4 cant work. Even you cant work off campus. Without working you have to support 2 persons (for married people)
Compared to Canada, US literally treats foreign students like dogs....I dont understand why people from India still come to do MS in US. Yes I know I have done MS in US and MBA in Canada....so I can compare first hand.
Let me be honest. Opportunities in Canada is no way compared to US for a US Citizen/GC.
However if you are not a US Citizen/GC then you are far better off in Canada.
Lately Rotman is a bit too expensive for non-resident tuition. So I wont recommend that to international students. However you can choose U of Calgary etc. I was a PR before I joined Rotman so I got loans, worked part more than 20 hrs week (often more than 30 hrs). Leaving H1B job in US for a MBA in Canada was one of the best decisions I have taken. In fact I was so convinced that I should not do MBA in US that I didnt even apply in
US schools.
Answering your specific questions
International students in Canada are doing better than international students in US who need an H1B. In Canada after 1st they all applied for
PR and are close to getting PR Plus they get 3 year unrestricted work permit. It has been bad. But now I see eventually all are getting full time employment.
Part time students cant apply through the full time career center. But they can talk and annend info session. Most people including fulltime
MBA get jobs outside career center.
US experience isnt give a premium. Canadian experience is always prefered. 60K to 70K is the typical salaries that foreign students are getting. Well I never said that Canadian oppotunities are great but what i can say is that Canada is a better option if you are not a
GC/USC.
It is hard to compare Canada vs India. India as other problems. If you want finance sector jobs then it is Bombay. It involves long travel
of 2 hours in locals each way. 4 hours travel...there is no personal time left after work. I personally cant take it...it might be different
for others. Power problems, traffic jam etc is there. It about what you consider quality of life, and that is different from person to person.

I read in some posts before that there were 18,000 Eb3 approvals in 2007. Is this true ? If USCIS is allocating unused numbers at the end of the year, then Eb3 India might move fast during the rest of this year.
Yeah 2007 was a anomaly than rule.

Thats right, eventually when the H1B emploee gets Employement Authorization through GC process, the H4 spouse automatically becomes eligble to work and have better opportunities than any H1B holder. Why can't a H4 have a work authorization same as J2 or L2 or E2. Does ImmigrationVoice considered this thought and thinks as a good point to raise it to the senate in one of their efforts?
