I just spoke with Siva, and the funding might not be the issue with DoL. This might be a case of the "mythical man month" (training more people takes time).
If USCIS think it practical then keeping priority dates may be something that the law makers will consider.
Maybe law makers would consider allowing concurrent PERM filing while waiting for BEC.
Soon we will have an opportunity to call the DoL on their word. They have estimated all data entry will be done by end of June. If they don't have it done for then the law makers may be more receptive to further measures. The lack of concurrent PERM filing is I think an administrative rule, and thus if DoL does not shape up with regard to its estimate of end of June 2006 for data entry, then the law makers could very easily override the adminstrative rule. The trouble then might be that PERM is flooded with 100,000 applications. So portability of priority date looks to be the best bet with essentially zero cost in terms of fees, queues and administration.

I know many people have been applying and reapplying for EADs and renewals.
I am trying to see if I can figure out any trends in how they are selecting cases for 2 yr renewals.
Please post your EB category, PD(month/yr is adequate), and approved EAD length. If we get sufficient responses perhaps we can see any trends.

Cut Off Dates- Consulate General of the United States Mumbai, India (http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/cut_off_dates.html)
shows different dates for EB3 India.
May be typo ????
They copy china dates. They did the same thing last time. I think their program needs a fix. They will change it manually eventually. But in the meantime if you want to rejoice in hope feel free. I did that last month. I knew I was kidding myself but then thought, why not indulge myself.
Three years back I dreamt my labor got cleared. Labor mind you not GC.Even in my dreams I don't see that. I was delighted. I was aware I was dreaming(One of those lucid dreams) but I let it continue. It felt good for a while. This is the same thing. Have fun

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
There are only 65,000 visas given for regular H-1Bs and 20,000 for holders of US Master's Degree. As of July 09, only 24,800 regular petitions were filed and 10,600 US Master's petition were filed. The reason for this slow filing is two fold.
Heading into a deeper recession, the economy is definitely a factor. Unlike what most people think, Companies would rather hire US workers, and not pay the $2320/- filing fees plus attorney's fees.
However there are some professions which have a shortage in the US. That is true of computer professionals. But the computer professional market has been bruised by a poorly conceived and legally impermissible memo that CIS promulgated on January 08, 2010. The CIS is their infinite wisdom deemed that professionals need to be "controlled" directly by the petitioning company.
The IT business typically have contracts that go through tiers--- from the petitioning company to the end user. The CIS thinks that this creates "job shop" a four letter word to them.
The Jan 08 memo is startling in how unconstitutional it is---- how it totally disregards the rule of law. The class action lawsuit against it will hopefully see the end of the memo. Meanwhile software companies are outsourcing their business elsewhere.
However if there is a contract using an intermediary, control can be shown if another employee of the same H-1B employer works for the end user and actually supervises the H-1B beneficiary.
For instance if Company A, the H-1B employer has a contract with Company F and Company F has a contract with the end user, Company Bigshot. If Company A has employee X who works for Big Shot too, who supervises employee Y, who is the beneficiary, then control can be established under the January 08 memo. Of course all companies have to provide a ton of document to prove the case.

Our 4-H photo club met this (well, yesterday now - it was Monday) evening, and the leader brought her new D70. She knows that I'm interested in DSLRs, so she let me shoot it for about 15 minutes with my CF card. I brought home six NEFs (from about 10 or 11 shots, but I deleted a few in the process of "exposing to the right").
The ergonomics were great from my perspective (of having never touched an autofocus SLR before in my life). After a few minutes I had the basic settings in the menus and the exposure compensation figured out, though I didn't even bother with the built in flash (I put on my Vivitar 285HV for a few shots instead).
After seeing the results of 1600 ISO (the first few were shot on this as I hadn't figured out how to change the setting yet), I don't know why you guys complain about noise so much. This thing at 1600 indoors at night beats my P&S at whatever ISO it uses in overcast daylight! Well, maybe that exaggerates a bit, but certainly not much.
Anyway, I should stick on a photo for everyone to view... This was shot in NEF, converted with the Adobe converter with Photoshop CS, and then received a light Curve to enhance contrast, a warming filter because I wasn't quite happy with the white balanced I converted the file with, and no noise reduction. Oh yeah, I applied a bit of sharpening; if anything, I try to stay on the conservative side there, since I'm not that familiar with telling how much is too much.

San Diego Restaurant, The French Gourmet Inc., indicted recently for knowingly making false attestations on I-9 Forms, hiring employees unauthorized to work in the U.S., and employing those aliens after learning of their ineligibility to work. U.S. v. The French Gourmet Inc. is the case, and you can read it here:
French gourmet compalint (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw/french-gourmet-compalint)View more documents (http://www.slideshare.net/) from usvisalaw (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw).
In May 2008, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents executed a criminal search warrant at, The French Gourmet, and have taken workers suspected of being illegally in the country into custody. ICE has arrived at worksites with both criminal and civil warrants. It has searched businesses, frozen bank accounts, and arrested not only employees but also employers. This recent indicment sends a clear message to employers.
We keep reminding employers to ensure compliance with the I-9 requirements under IRCA, a company should establish an I-9 policy that includes:
* The proper and timely completion and retention of Form I-9 for all employees hired after November 6, 1986;
* Zero-tolerance for the employment of individuals who do not provide the proper identity and employment eligibility documents for Form I-9;
* A tickler system for I-9s that require reverification;
* I-9 training for all company representatives who are part of the recruitment, orientation, and hiring processes for the company; and
* Regularly scheduled in-house I-9 audits.
Conducting self-audits puts a company in better position if it becomes the subject of an ICE investigation. While employers cannot verify whether documents used for employment authorization are authentic, self-audits establish good-faith compliance.

The silence from those of us not affected by the green card process who are legal immigrants is annoyingly deafening. The entire economy has picked up now and yet legislation takes forever to pass!
What does it take for lawmakers to turn their heads? People holding placcards and signs on streets protesting? Is that the only way to have something heard? Obviously, written articles such as these isn't helping!

Hi:
I am currently using EAD. My I-485 is pending status. I am planning to get married in India soon. She will be in India as I can not bring her on H4 and student visa is difficult. So dilemma is about 485 name addition. Can I add spouse's name in I-485 application whenever Priority Date is current?
If yes, then how does it work? I mean is it possible at all?

1. The title noted on the labor form was "Associate". On the job description letter, is it ok if the title is noted as "Financial Associate Analyst". Plus my labor was approved as IS Manager. Would the "financial" title cause a problem?
2. My lawyer put a very generic sentence as my job description. Does my job experience letter have to have the exact same generic sentence in it? and is it ok if the letter has more duties on it other than the one mentioned on the labor form (i did different stuff at that job, finance, IT, sales etc)
3. My lawyer put the required degree on the labor form as "Computer Science". However; I have a MIS degree. Is that going to be a problem when applying for i140?
It is surprizing that generic description of a job got through Labor without any questions. There is no clear answer to your questions. General principle is that jobs description should be more or less same as in Labor application. If your Labor was approved as IS Manager with your title to be an Associate, your job is expected to be of management type. Analyst job seems to be a technical job. Clear these issues before your employer filing for your 140 proceeds.

from what we see on other posts, what matters most is
1. company is hiring u as a fulltime employee
2. job desc is same or similar
3. annual salary is >= one specified in approved labor
you can get paid by hr, but just extrapolate that hrly value into annual salary, and state that.

I think Canada is much better option . It's cheaper and convenient. I have heard many success stories of H1 stamping in Canada
I've an appointment in October at Munich, Germany consulate for H1B stamping. Because of time constraints I decided to get the stamping done when I'm out there for work. I've already obtained the german visa (though had to provide plenty of explanation !). This is my 9th yr extn (MS, EB2 - 140 approved)
- Can anyone share their experience at the Munich consulate?
- or, should I plan going to Canada and trying rather taking the risk in Germany?
thanks,

However, lawyer is not giving my case number. Is there any way to find out. Gurus please help with suggestions.
Thanks
Talking to your employer is better than asking attorney.Sometimes Attorny dont respond to the candidate.

Would it not be enuf for me to transfer my H1 to a new company ?
Yes , I think it is enough to get H1 transfer. I assume you are going to join the new company after the H1 transfer.
What is the PD of your current approved labor ?
