When the tech companies/competeamerica.org are bragging that retrogression is anti competitive and severely constraining the growth of the techies/employees, why can�t an antitrust lawsuit stand good in US courts?
Can somebody shed more light on this and explain why any lawsuit wont work against retrogression and/or for issue of EAD after I-140 approval, when retrogression is anti-competitive.

Hi,
I got appointment letter for Biometrics from USCIS. I already gave in 2007.
Why are they asking again? and I only got this, my husband and son didn't get it.
Right now I am on EAD, since last december(2009) I am not working, will there be any issues as I am the primary applicant.
Thanks
You are the primary applicant and not working? Is this ok?

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Senator Sessions cannot leave his hands off of E-Verify. Now in "stealth" mode, Senator Sessions has slyly introduced an E-Verify amendment (SB 1371) during today's full Senate vote on the DHS appropriations bill.
The Sessions amendment calls for a permanent reauthorization of the Basic Pilot/E-Verify program, and mandates its use for all federal contractors and subcontractors - including the verification of all existing employees. This amounts to a massive expansion of a program that is still not ready for prime-time.
We must call our Senators and tell them to oppose this sneak attack by Senator Sessions for the following reasons:
It would impose exorbitant costs on businesses at a time when our economy is most vulnerable:
An economic analysis commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
concluded that the net societal costs of the program would be $10 billion a year
� a cost that would be felt disproportionately by small businesses. It would make Basic Pilot/E-Verify permanent without addressing its well documented database inaccuracies:
A 2007 independent evaluation of the program commissioned by DHS found that
the Basic Pilot/E-Verify database �is still not sufficiently up to date� to meet
the requirements for �accurate verification.�
SSA has estimated that if Basic Pilot/E-Verify were to become mandatory and
the databases were not improved, SSA database errors alone could result in 3.6
million workers a year being misidentified as not authorized for employment.
This would result in 6 out of every 100 workers having to visit an SSA office to
correct their records or lose their job.
It would force workers and businesses to pay a high price for Basic Pilot/E-Verify's inaccuracies:
Queries submitted to Basic Pilot/E-Verify by Intel Corporation in 2008 resulted
in nearly 13 percent of all workers being initially flagged as unauthorized for
employment. All of these workers were cleared by Basic Pilot/E-Verify as
work-authorized, but only after �significant investment of time and money�
and �lost productivity.�We urge all AILA members to call their Congressman today and oppose the Sessions amendment (SB 1371). Don't let Senator Session's stealth tactics create a nationwide crisis for employers!

I quote:
"We have also improved our legal immigration system by reducing backlogs of immigration applications and devoting critical funding to promote innovative citizenship preparation and integration programs in communities throughout the country."
Any idea what they are talking about in terms of backlog reduction?
Cases waiting for visa numbers are not considered as backlogged. USCIS only terms cases pending processing as backlogged cases.

Hi,
I applied for H1 last year and got H1 approved for 9 months. (they counted all my stay on H4). Now H1 expired on 25th Nov and applied for H4 on 15th Nov before H1B expires.
I wants to take advantage of New memo of USCIS. Can I apply for H1B with different employer than earlier one while my H4 case is pending?
Or shall I wait until I gets H4 approval and they apply for H1B.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,

Anoop - dont worry about it and ask your company to reapply with a stronger educational valuation. Everything depends on the educational valuation report submitted along with the application.
Request for a stronger educational evaluation and request them to reapply.
Thanks for the reply,
My visa petition went to RFE first and when I enquired my employer they said that the consulate asked for education evaluation report and they have send it, but they didnt show me what they have send and unfortunately this years quota seem to be over, I have to wait for some more time :-(

As far as i know, the masters cap has no bearing on the educational level (bachelors/masters/PhD) of the job, as long as you've had a masters from an american university, you are eligible to use it, the RFE could be for some other reason, talk to your lawyer and figure it out.

I am EB2, Indian. Filed for PERM earlier this summer and waiting for approval which I don't expect for another 4-6 months. The situation is that my company is in a very shaky financial position but they have been very supportive and I am hoping to be okay for the next 6 mo to year. My strategy is (assuming I don't lose my job) to just sit out my I-140 approval and that way I get the 3-yr extension and lock in my PD. I don't see being able to file for I-485 at this job.
Soo -- 2 questions:
1) Do you think the financial position of the company will affect the I-140 approval? It's a financial services firm and we have had a bunch of layoffs.
2) Assuming I get my I-140 approved, could I, in theory, leave the US for a while (I am very interested in a one-year fellowship program in Europe) and then come back and go work for a new company using the 3-year H1-B extension and begin the green card process again with my current (2009) priority date?
Thanks very much!
For question 2: Answer Yes.
If your company had lay offs there is a good chance you might get audit. If you get an audit the Perm process might take upto 2-3 years. If you dont get an audit perm process could finish in a year. Plan accordingly. All the best.

Please meet the lawyers and get their opinion. If all of them say the same thing, then that is the option. If they have differing opinion, then check back via immigration forums.
Most of the folks at IV have applications based on employment and not based on marriage. So you may not get good answers.

I understand that a H1B visa is the expense to the employer and is not a taxable benefit to the employee. If a company wishes to pay for the green card for the employee, granting them permanent residence in the U.S., is this a taxable benefit to the employee? Should it be added to their W-2? If yes, where is the IRS documentation on this? I can�t find it. Thanks.

Hi,
I-485 filed in july 2007. I-140 cleared in 2005.
We filed for GC in 2003 (eb3) in spite of my husband having two advanced degrees (M.Tech and Ph.d) but he is not working in the same field of ph.d. His company randomly filed in eb3 for all the employees.
But now my husband is diagnosed with chronic disease. We are thinking if we switch to eb2 since he is eligible to do that, atleast he would get some medical benefits for the treatment.
How do we proceed with this? Do we have to file labor again?
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

talk to some lawyers, or research internet, there are some number of days, after your visa expiry or H1B rejection that you need to pack and leave...find out if that applies to your case..
also when you got approval was it having new I-94 attached to it..or was it approved for consular processing..
