All,
I visited the local office at Waukegan (Chicago suburb) last week to apply for SSN for my wife (H1 & EAD) and my minor son (H4) and was surprised to see SSN card in my mail box today for both of them!! :) (frankly I was expecting to see a denial letter for my son). Sequence of events
Me: submitted SSN form, passport for my minor Son
SSN officer: Upon seeing the visa. We do not accept application for h4 w/o work authorization
Me: I produced the printout of SSN provision 20 C.F.R. � 422.104(a)(3) and informed here that I need to apply for Federal benefit (stimulus package) and for that I would need one
SSN Officer: Oh yea..Oh yea.. there is a provision and she accepted the application
My sons SSN card displays "Not authorized to work".Thanks to Totoro posting the information on 05/03/2008.

That's great news. You can apply for the stimulus payment next year.

Just based on the definition given by DOL I decided Level III and Level IV to be EB2. Besides I am EB2 and my wage level is Level IV. I agree it is hard to conclude the cat based on wage level, I saw there were some Senior welders in Level III as well as Vice presidents of the companies. Quite a contradiction isn't it!!
Does these levels matters, when it comes to adjudication. please anybody clarify my doubt?:confused:

hello,
during the july 2007 fiasco i applied for i485 and i got my ead and ap, but i have not used the ead and still using and maintaining my h1.
Here is my dilemma, 2 years ago i went to india and used my ap when entering us though i had a valid h1 but i did not get the visa stamped and after entering us on ap i am still using and maintaining my h1 and not using ead. Recently i also got a 3 year extension on my h1.
Now i am applying for my new ap as the old one is expired. My question to you gurus is what should i put in the "class of admission" field? Shall i put the aos or h1?

I have an EB3 app from Oct 02. One more PERM filed 2 months back. My wife has an approved EB3 140 waiting to file 485.
We have canadian PR cards. We have decided to move to Canada in Oct. We may come back here once numbers are available to file for 485 or im thinking of becoming a canadian citizen. who knows t'row some bright guy in Congress may create a rule saying Canadian citizens are exempt from visa numbers :)

Very sorry to hear this news. If you have EAD, please use AC21 portability after one more month (after six months of I-485 filing). If your employer gives you severence pay, use it as a pay for a month instead of accepting lumpsum.
Hopefully your I-140 gets approved in the mean-time.

I can see sammyb's frustration but there is something to be said for collective intelligence and opnion. If we start restricting access to the site we loose out on the "Wisdom of the Crowds". A good example is free file sharing websites that have very few people contributing (<10%) but the benefit to the community is huge and the membership becomes ever larger because it is free. So as IV becomes more popular (which should be are foremost goal) there will be more people willing to contribute (even though the percentage of people contributing might still be small). I am not making a case for free loaders, instead I am making a case for free access to information.
I salute Needhelp! for her commitment to this cause.
Why can't we move from a free service to a membership based and see how many people still continue ... evenif with 25K members it is only a handful who are active and part of the initiative ... so I would suggest to go for a membership ...
it could be a per month basis or pay a big amount and get membership for life or year ... say $200 for a year or $20 for a month ... we don't need the number/mass unless they are active in all way ... just my thoughts ... hope the IV core team will consider that ... enough of free rides ... now pay for it and get the access to forums ... :mad:

I didn't find anywhere in the SKIL bill that says we can file I-485 even if the priority date is not current .Can somebody please point me to the paragraph where it is mentioned .
Thanks
Section 205. Retaining Workers Subject to Green Card Backlog.
Allows foreign workers who have started the green card process, but who are subject to green card backlogs, to pay a $500.00 supplemental fee to file an application to adjust status. This change would enable foreign workers to remain in the U.S. until the green card becomes available.

Hi Dixie,
I think that listing an absolute value does not provide an accurate picture. If you measure in terms of relative values, then you will see that immigration is important; it is a top 3 issue. However, let's not forget that there is a nasty war going on and sons and daughters of people are dying for - in my view - a war that makes no sense at all. That is serious and it has undeniably galvanized the attention of the public at this time.
That said, from what I have been reading on talk radio shows, people are disappointed in general with the GOP - even with the pro amnesty position adopted by Pres. Bush, McCain, Specter, etc - and therefore want to give them a bad time. I don't think that was an endorsement for amnesty at all.
Celebrate now. Amnesty for 20 million+ is coming and hopefully we can take a ride :-)
Cheers,
The Ombudsman
Only 10% of the general public said immigration is the most important issue for them - and mind you, ILLEGAL immigration and amnesty to illegal aliens is what comes to mind of most average americans. The perceived opposition to CIR was blown out of proportion by the conservatives and their media cronies like Lou Dobbs. That it did not work clearly shows that the american public too mature and sensible to be carried away by such rhetoric.

Do you have any thoughts on how many people could be in this category wage level II in EB-2 I?
Why do u need any ideas/thoughts for that? Someone can look up the flcdatabase as they looked for Level 3 and Level 4.

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.

While we are brainstorming constructive ideas, I would like to suggest some fund raising ideas. ( I have posted this kind of ideas earlier but no solid response.)
Instead of strictly relying on funding drives IV should consider alternative source of funding.
Here are two most simple ideas
1) Start showing Google ads on IV website. I am happy to see click on ads and generate some fund for IV
2) IV branded credit card, its very simple Chase/BOA will be happy to sponsor IV credit card and pay 2% back monthly to IV if they can sign up 20,000 new customers.
Keep asking for donating fund hits wall everytime, its time to work on alternative ideas.

Has your company sent a termination letter to INS? Have they paid you for your travel back to India?
I may be wrong, but I think those two are necessary for an employer to invalidate a H-1.
Does anybody know how long an H1B visa can remain valid (including grace period) after a layoff ? What I know, is an H1B technically becomes invalid the day you stop rendering your services to your employer. The firm's lawyer suggested me to file for B1/B2 visitors visa to avoid going out-of-status.
Thanks.

USCIS reps did not mention any specific group to me. But what I was told was that, everyone's information should be in the USCIS system by August 1st. So urs would be too.
The group was just my analogy.

Andy, 25+ million before they petition for their parents, grandpas, uncles, nieces, bothers and sisters, etc. Then in few years do the math and tell me whether that should be a whole lot more :-) But who cares as long as we get our GC, right ?
Are you sure it is possible to sponsor your nieces, uncles etc if you are permanent resident? Don't you have to be a citizen to do that? I always thought you have to be a citizen to do that.

I realize that there is no point in telling you guys anything. When you don't have an open mind, you can not accept the facts. It's like banging your heads against steel wall. When you are not even ready to diagnose the disease, there is little hope you will be able to cure it. Denial is a beautiful thing.
So I apologize for my comments.
Here is something you will love:
Congratulations IV and the core team! Keep up the good work.

even though I am in EB2..from my personal experience, the kind of IT contracts/jobs/assignments we (most of us) do, I dont think there is anything that an EB2 qualified can do which EB3 cannot do.
i would be very careful about making such an argument.
if this is true in IT then the opposite argument is perfectly valid (and that is the one USCIS/DOL will accept) - that the folks in EB2 are not doing a job that needs an advanced degree and they should be in EB3.
and if this is true:
"If the requirement is genuine then it is ok to give priority to EB2. But in reality(mainly consulting companies) the job requirement is decided mostly in Lawyers office or by candidate just because candidate has
master degree or 5 years experience."
then maybe applicants and their employers should start shouldering some of the blame for the current backlog instead of blaming everyone else.
i have no personal knowledge of this. in my field, there is no question that an advanced degree in needed. in fact, something well beyond it is the standard qualification.
