Canada has been using this for skilled worker program, where individuals can apply for Canadian permanent residency independently if they fullfill the passmark. Other countries like Australia, UK and New Zealand also follow suit with different types of difficulties.
How about US? Would US adopt this?

NOOOOOOOOO WAY
There are too many people who want to come here.

I came to US on H4, 3 years ago. Later I took my H1B with a recruiter and got it with I-94. It was valid up to 2007 oct. But I couldn't take up any work due to some problems. Recently I went to India and came back. At the port of entry I got new I-94 with H4 stamping. Means My H1 Is not valid now ? In this case, is there any way to apply for change of status again as my H1 is valid up to 2007. Or else do I need to apply for my new H1B again ? Pl. any one clarify.
Once you are counted in the H1 cap you don't need to be counted again to extend your H1 status. But if you went to the consulate and got an H4 visa stamp, you might need to wait again till h1 visa is available again in april 2007.
I am curious to know, how your interview went in the consulate. Because you were on H1, without working. If you were not working and not recieving paystubs you are out of status. Didn't that create problems when you change to H4 ?

Hi !
My husband just had his performance appraisal today. He is presently working as a Senior Consultant.What we are wondering is that if there is any change in the designation, will it affect the GC process in any way ?
We got our I-140 last month and EAD two weeks back.
Kindly advice us on this.
Thanks
Vinki :)
Until its the same kind of work, it wont effect the GC process. Your employer could send an ammendment saying that theres an appraisal.
P.S: I am not a lawyer. I said just based on my knowledge.

FOIA should be the route.
I remember someone posting on the forum that they got all their information, right from Labor certification on a CD through FOIA.

I got laid off recently.
Now got job with 2 companies. 1 small and 1 big. 3 questions:
(1) Should I select based on my salary? Big company offers more salary.
(2) I have to now start Greencard again. So should I choose big company or small ? Both said they will consider sponsoring if performance is good.
(3) If I transfer H1B Is Big company likely to get RFE or small?

I would like to see this kind of report in front page of WSJ and NY times.
I like the below points from the report.
- There is no evidence that during the long periods of time when no foreign
nationals could receive new H-1B petitions the job market improved for U.S. workers or professionals.
- The March 2009 findings from Duke University and University of California, Berkeley researchers send a signal that America cannot take it for granted that outstanding international students, researchers and professionals from around the world will always want to stay and work in the United States.
- The relaxation of green card constraints proposed in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by approximately $34 billion in the tenth year following enactment and had a net positive effect on the budget of $34 to $47 billion over ten years.
- Relaxation of H-1B caps under the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by $60 billion in the tenth year following enactment and improved the federal budget�s bottom line by $64 to $86 billion over ten years.�
- �Over the past 15 years, immigrants have started 25 percent of U.S. public companies that were venture-backed, a high percentage of the most innovative companies in America . . . The largest U.S. venture-backed public companies started by immigrants include Intel, Solectron, Sanmina-SCI, Sun Microsystems, eBay, Yahoo!, and Google.
- we estimate that all companies founded by immigrants from 1995 to 2005 produced $52 billion in sales and employed 450,000 workers in 2005,�

I thought I would post on how I resolved my expired I-94 issue today. Could be of help to someone.
I have an I797 and corresponding H1-B visa valid until March 31st 2011.
When I last came into the US on Dec 31st 2009, the immigration officer stamped the I-94 valid until date as March 30th 2010. Essentially giving me only three months of stay.
I did not notice the problem (coming in after a long flight and being jet lagged didn't help) until yesterday when my attorney was going through my documents for some other purpose. As of yesterday I had been out of status for over 3months.
We called the CBP office at Pittsburgh Airport (where i reside) and explained the situation to them. They asked my visa validity date and passport validity date on the phone. After which I was asked to go the the CBP office and get it corrected.
Today morning I headed over there and was met with the most friendly immigration officers I have ever met. Pittsburgh rocks in that. When he heard my case, he asked me if I had presented my latest I-797 to the officer at the time of stamping. When I replied yes, he said it did not make sense why the officer stamped the date he did. He asked to see my passport and I-797 and in 10 minutes told me he would be issuing me a new I-94 with the correct stamped date as March 31st 2011.
Afterwards he mentioned that it was expired and I was lucky because some other officer could have asked me to do a reinstatement (something that apparently costs a lot of money and a lot more trouble according to him)
In my case it was a genuine mistake on the immigration officer's part, since all my documents at the time of the samping indicated a later date. IMO that was the critical factor.
However, as he advised, please be extra sure before you step away from the counter at port of entry, that all your stamps are correct.
Good luck for anyone facing this problem, if you have the valid documents the officers are most probably going to correct the mistake and not give you a hard time about it.:)

Our AP saga got its final miracle today. (at least I think it’s the final one…) Though my spouse’s and daughter's AP were finally got approved yesterday, the miracle is that TSC has decided to expedite and overnight them, based on a fax from my father-in-law’s doctor.
The very nice lady IO at SF INS office this morning asked for our telephone numbers, and then followed up and called us on our cell phone to confirm that TSC is expediting the APS…..…and overnight-ing them!
Prior to this last miracle the journey was choppy.
We are to leave for India on Dec 26th... ..the APs were e-filed on July 12 to give TSC enough time.
Because nothing seemed to be happening I faxed TSC director (no use), another fax at TSC (not much use), made friends with a TSC rep...(great) got in touch with my Congressman George MIller's office..(fantastic), leading to the approval yesterday and then today comes the icing on the cake… the overnight-ing….
After a season of dryness, it doesn't just rain, it pours!
write to the ombudsman. So much circus for an AP? When you applied 5 months ago!!
oh, and congrats on getting your AP in time for your travel plans.

neither lawyer nor employer received Labor Hard Copy until today. I missed I-140 Premium
Processing because of Hard copy.
I signed one page of the original document (which the employer/lawyer should send to you)
before filing your I-140.
Thanks

Thanks frostrated. When I said CPT I actually meant STEM Extension (17 month). Anyways, if I don't find employment before my OPT expires, can I go to back to school without an issue? I think I should be okay but I just wanted to make sure. I would appreciate it if I got any input on this matter. I need to double check myself to make sure I'm on a legal status

Also, can I work as independent consultant/contractor (get 1099 instead of W2) while working on H1B with Employer A?

Hi Guys,
I am also thinking abt applying for Canada PR?How much would it cost? Is location specific?
Again, looking at the website might help u more get the whole picture and all the details, than asking a question or two on forums http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp
The cost varies by family size. For a family of 4, in the beginning u'll need 1000-2000 for application fees and to prepare ur documents. one or two years later, you'll need another 1000-2000 for medical exams and landing/visa fees.
If you apply to the federal program, you are allowed to go anywhere except quebec. There is also a provincial program in each province that allows u to immigrate to that province, but then again u can move later..
