L1s don't visit these sites because most them don't apply for green card. L1s are majorly used by big companies like TCS, Infosys, etc. Those big corporates won't apply for GC. Very rarely based on relationship and long service some apply for GC.
I see lots of L1 bashing. In reality L1s are pitier than H1s. L1 cannot transfer their visa and change job as H1s do. They have to wait till H1 quota to open up for changing jobs. They run in a rat race to keep their manager happy to get better rating in their appraisal.
PS: I am on H1 status.
6 to 1...... maybe L1 guys don't visit this forum since they already got thier GCs....:rolleyes:

4) Once you get 3 year H1B extension i.e. after Jan08, there are legal ways to tranfer H1B to a new company for the remaining duration but this MUST be discussed throughly with an imigration lawyer as it can be risky and very case dependent.
Remember an employer might try to revoke the I140 in an effort to regain the underlying LC for some other employee, although a retro'ed EB3 might not be too juicy a carot for anyone nowadays.
This may not be that difficult as you sounded. My understanding (ofcourse I am not a lawyer got to this conclusion based on my reading various posts and lawyer responses to my own and other queries) is that once you get three year extension based on approved I140, you are good to transfer. What happens if the previous employer withdraws your approved I140 - thats a grey area but most people suggest that it does not affect "H1B" status; it might affect I485 (if its applied with I140 concurrently). To be in safe side after moving to the new company immediately apply PERM/I-140.
Also I think you can do the transfer before getting the extension, basically if you get an offer from a new employer you can apply for transfer+extension at the same time if you time it right.
Let me know if my understanding is not right above.

My attorney signed my I-485 AOS/EAD/AP applications and posted them on July 2nd as he was in a hurry to apply because of July 2nd scenario. Is it ok for the attorney to sign our papers. Is anybody in the same boat as me. I am a little concerned as the USCIS FAQ says application can be rejected if signature is missing. The application reached USCIS on July 3rd.
My attorney also did the same. I did not sign on my application. But he sent me power of attorney to sign. They did this since they were beating the July 2 brouhaha which previous to that week, they already knew what's going to happen.

The only other thing I think should be stressed is that we are already H1-b holders, already applied for green cards, so not taking any more jobs away from USCs. All we are asking for is expedited processing of our already filed applications.
Then Numbersusa or other anti-immigration groups have no points to raise against us
NYCgal369,
An H1-B never takes a job away from a US citizen...I know you know this, and meant it, but please amend your post, so that our friends on the other side don't start using our words disingenuously against us. As for the point that you brought up, I drove home that point repeatedly at an event in Washington, DC last Friday: we have already applied for our green cards.
Best,
RR.

Just get another medical done. Carry the 693 to avoid getting all the vaccinations again.
Easiest way out as the medicals expire anyway in12-18 months.

Helllo Experts,
Here is my Case:
Have 4 yrs of work experience and changed 3 employers in the past.
1 st employer: Worked as a Programmer Analyst for 6 months
2nd employer: Worked as Sr.Software Engineer for1.6 years
3rd Employer: Worked as Sr.Software Engineer for 2 years
Under unexpected circumstances, 2nd employer filed my H1 for a senior level even when I have only 2.5 yrs of experience.
I am trying to change job and look for a prospective employer who would file my labor/GC immediately.
The 4rth employer is willing to my GC but the Job designation will be Software Engineer.
Can you please advise if there would be any negative impact on my GC process if I take a step down in my title.
I liked the organization, work environment and all I am concerned now is about any RFC's for the different Job Titles I had so far.
I am in a very confused state and Please advise me as I need to respond for the Job offer.
I sincerely appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi

The passage of the CIR in the Senate is reportedly almost assured. The question remains how much change we will see in the Senate's final bill. One of the agreements which the leaders of Republican and Democrat Senators reached as part of the deal involves the procedural matter that will allow "amendments" on the floor to the CIR proposal which the Senate almost passed when the Senators left for the Easter break in April, 2006. It is thus likely that there may be introduced a flurry of amendments on the floor and a fierce battle on these amendments. Accordingly, the liberal version of the Senate proposal may be substantially compromised before it is enacted into a law this year. We will see the first compromise in the Senate this month before the Senate passes its bill. The second compromise will take place during the Senate-House Conference Committee proceeding after May 2006. It is thus almost certain that the current CIR proposal in the Senate may be substantially toned down and compromised to accomodate the hawkish conservative Senators and members of the House.
Considering the fact that the Senate will procedurally open opportunities for the Senators to introduce amendments on the floor beginning from next week, this may be the last chance for the pro and con lobbysts to make their voices heard and reflected in the Senate's final bill. Such opportunity will include both legal and illegal immigration legislation in the CIR packet.
May be it's time for us(IV) to lobby Senators to incorporate IV Goals into Final CIR bill!

Hello everybody,
this is my first post on these forums, I've been reading around a fair bit for the past couple of weeks on immigration related websites, and especially IV.
As it has been so far the best source of information for me I want to ask a question that is pretty confusing...
From what I understood, being eligible for EB-2 is one of the best ways to get a GC in a reasonable delay (let's say around a year according to the first post of unitednations on http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3250).
From what I understood that would merely require to have an arrangement with a company willing to help you in the tedious path to a GC instead of owning you with the H1-B.
There is where my question comes about EB-2 elibility as I'm really confused about the value of my french engineering degree in IT (5 years college, Diplome d'Ingenieur) and the possibility to find a position eligible for EB-2 that wouldn't require experience.
So my question consists of two parts :
- Is there any way to officially check that my degree is equivalent to an US Masters Degree ? (Wikipedia says yes, but I couldn't find any authoritative/official source)
- Is there any way that a position in the IT field that would require such a Masters Degree could be eligible for EB-2 even without work experience requirements ?
Thanks again to all IV folks and other who spend time sharing their precious information.

Hi,
My employer terminated my employment Last date of employment is May-7th. and he is keen on revoking my H1 by May-10th.
He says, Even after withdrawing H1 you can still able to transfer H1 to other employer.
So far i am not able to find other employer who can transfer my H1, and still in US.
1) How many days I can stay after H1 termination
0 days. There is no grace period. You would start to accumulate out of status days from May 10. However, usually USCIS forgives a small number of out of status days. There is no guideline, AFAIK, about how is this "small" defined.
2) Is it possible to transfer H1 after the withdrawal process initiation.
There is no such thing as "transfer". Your new employer will have to file a new H1-B petition. If you were maintaining H1-B status at that time, then you can start working whenever you get the receipt notice; otherwise you would need to wait for the actual approval notice (along with attached I-94 --- if there is no I-94 attached with the I-797, then you would have to go out of the country, and reenter). You would not be counted again towards quota (i.e., the quota will not apply to you) unless you reset your H1-B clock by staying outside US for 1 year.
3) How much time does INS take to withdraw the H1
4) what possibility of rejecting my H1 if I submit my papers for H1 transfer after the revoke process initiation.
As I said, the new H1-B would have no relation with the current H1-B. The only thing you need to take into account is whether you are in status or not.
Please let me know do I have any other options.
Thanks

Hi All,
My friend got laid off on Dec 19th 2008. And he got another job, but the new employer is not providing him Group Health Insurance. They are asking to take him Individual Family plan and saying they will reimburse. But the problem is, he is in Albany, NY and he got to know that they are no individual plans in NY which is really odd.
He wants to use COBRA but it's really expensive 1200$ per month. But luckily we saw that there is a 65% discount for people who laid off between 1st Sept 2008 and Dec 31st 2008.
But want to know whether H1b employees are eligible for this discount or only American Citizens and Green Card holders?
Please find IRS article regarding the same.

With not many 'easy' H1b cases anymore. This looks like another route for the 'attorney' to get more clients, selling fear!
I agree !! it is definitely bad news and many may end up spending more on a plastic card. more business for lawyers !!!
maybe guiness book of world records should have an entry for the costliest plastic card I just hope and pray that future generations have better options at home and in different countries and links such as these point out the hard truth that everyone needs to have a plan B - and be mobile and ready to move. (i.e. not get stuck with immovable assets).

My husband has got a query on his I-140 now and it would take another 2-3 months before USICS makes a decision. His company is not doing well financially and we are worried if the I-140 would get denied. My understanding is, if the I-140 gets denied, the EAD will no longer be valid.
Would anyone happen to know what would happen to the EAD, if the company files a MTR (Motion to Reopen) and appeal against the I-140 denial (if it happens) ?
Thanks
