Please take a look at page 249. If I understand it correctly, it mentions that the quota for EB1 goes from 28.6% of EB visas to 15%, EB2 goes from 28.6% to 15% and EB3 goes from 28.6% to 35%
That means they WILL create a new category of EB visas since they have to utilize these extra visas somewhere!
Am I reading it right?

CORBA, is a Federal Government law to save individuals who loose job. Every insurance company should provide you this insurance for about 6 months (not sure about the length and price) at the Employer negotiated price. You should get a notification from your current insurance company each time you change your employer.
Then its upto you to take it for that limited time before you get your next job. What happens if we dont take the insurance in between? Next time you take insurance, if they find that u dont have insurance for some time, then they will not cover any pre existing conditions and they might ask you to take some tests. Its all headache.
But its worth finding out more details rather than ignoring it.

Dude,
My employer filed it on my behalf. I didn't pay anything for it.
I think ur question is unrelated to what I asked.
Try answering my questions if you can.

Hi All,
I am planning to get my H1B stamped in Chennai, India.
I got H1b extension last month for 3 years. I am planing to visit India in the month of Aug.
I need to know when do I make an appointment?
and will my name be added to PIMS if I make an appt?
Do I have to go to Chennai or I can go to any other Consulate for stamping?
What about PIMS verification, is there anyway I can have my name added to this database before I travel to India?
Anybody has any idea about this? Thanks in advance

I have a close friend who has floated a company to pursue an entrepreneurial dream.
My husband is currently working in US and has filed for GC (140 approved status). I have an EAD and am working in a company very close to where I am staying.
My friend has requested me to help market clients for the product that they are developing.. Is it ok for me to approach companies, as a representative of my friend's company and try selling the product(strictly non-compensational)? Or will there be legal hassles in doing this? Please enlighten me with your thoughts..
Appreciate your help in advance.

That's certainly a lot better than the "spam" i got from Senator Feinstein.
I just got some *#&$ about thanking me for supporting her blue card and AgJOBS initiatives, with not a mention on tackling retrogression issues.
Hardly a huge surprise, but I'm writing back

Thanks for the response forgerator. But I would argue that, the problem lies in the fact that there's no obvious link between my work and college major. So if I'm able to somehow re-establish that link, it's still possible to get an H1B. I understand that most H1B visas went to people who work in IT, finance, etc. But I don't see that as an absolute impediment in terms of me getting one.

hi dil_ip,
Did your wife get your back on to H4 visa from H1? What was the procedure that you went with? I also am on H1 in the US and want to move back to H4. I plan to go to mexico and re-enter the US with my previous H4, which is valid till mid 2010. Is there any problem at the port of entry?
Please reply back
Thanks

Thanks buddy. That was the answer I was looking for.
No probs, we owe as much for all the hours you have put in with the EB number analysis.
But why don't you still talk to your lawyer about the blank line 14? In my case my educational qualifications were listed and so on.

Well I checked with my old employer's legal dept and the lawyer and they won't be revoking my 140........also since its a soft LUD so it should not be so far related to my layoff....
However since my employer will be informing USCIS of my H1B termination in 30 to 45 days I guess I will have to be on a lookout for an RFE by mid may....
In the mean time I have filed a new G28 through my own lawyer and am trying get into a job soon and file AC21........
Lets see who will win the race of paperwork and beurocratic bullshit...... :eek:
Another day in paradise....... :rolleyes:

Hi,
Even my co-workers (including me) have not received their returned applications. I have a question here:
The Cover letter of my 485 petition was signed by MY EMPLOYER on the company's letterhead. Just in case, just in case, INS decides to return that application - will it be sent to my employer's address or to my residential address??
There was no attorney involved and it was not a concurrent filing with I-140.
Appreciate your reply.

I and my wife got our licences from Bridgeport, CT DMV in July 2008(till 2014). I'm on H-1 and my wife is using EAD. We chose to get the renewal based on pending I-485. All they needed regarding immigration was I-485 original reciept(they did not accept photo copies). Try a different DMV in CT and see, it could be that pirticular officer who may not be trainied properly. I had to argue with one officer at that time because he also was giving me a similar reason that they gave to you, and he was corrected by another person at the office, probably a more experienced one.
I think it might be CT issue. There is an ongoing immigration fraud investigation against state employees so now they are over doing enforcement.

Heard back from the attorney - filing after Aug. 17th.

You are getting mixed info because, USCIS has failed to provide guidance specific to the issue of the continued validity of an approved, but withdrawn/revoked I-140 for purposes of the three year H-1 extension. However, USCIS guidance on related issues strongly supports your eligibility for at least a one year, and probably a three year H extension. (Nevertheless, to be safe, you should also apply to renew your EAD if it has expired.)
If your employer had not withdraw the I-140, it is clear from USCIS memos and guidance that you would be entitled to an extension beyond six years to work for another employer:
"Question 7. Should service centers or district offices deny a request for an H-1B extension
beyond the 6-year limit where the labor certification or immigrant petition from an
employer who is not the H-1B petitioner was filed for the beneficiary more than 365 days
ago?
Answer: No. The statute does not require that the labor certification or immigrant petition must be
from the same employer requesting the H-1B extension."
Michael Aytes
December 27, 2005
HQPRD 70/6.2.8-P
USCIS has also specifically stated that if an approved I-140 is withdrawn after an I-485 has been pending for more than 180 days, the I-140 remains valid for purposes of AC21 � 106(c) portabilty:
"If the Form I-140 has been approved and the Form I-485 has been filed and remained unadjudicated for 180 days or more (as measured from the form I-485 receipt date), the approved Form I-140 will remain valid even if the alien changes jobs or employers as long as the new offer of employment is in the same or similar occupation." AFM Sec. 20.2(c)
Extrapolating from these two statements, and in the absence of any contray written policy, your petition for extension of H status should be approved. Given your experience (congratulations on obtaining the MTR approval!), you probably understand that USCIS decisions can be unpredictable---this is especially true where, as here, no specific written policy exists.
Both the I-140 approval notice and your I-485 rec't notice should be submitted with the petition for the H extension. Whether you are more likely to trigger an RFE by also submitting the decision granting the MTR, as opposed to not mentioning the MTR is a judgment call. I would probably chose to include the MTR decision as long as it does not contain any incorrect or problematic statements.
Hope this is helpful.

I was trying to post this in each state chapters. Most of state chapters dont have an active thread so created one in some of them. I am just trying to bring attention of any members not aware of this campaign already.

My lawyer is telling me I cant apply yet and since I am 2 semesters away from completing my Master's I should finish the course and just apply in the EB2 class. I dont have the funds to apply for this whole damn thing all over again. Can someone please help!? I've honestly turned suicidal dealing with this BS..

I have the same question and I am sure there are several others who have the same questions. If I understand this correctly,
1. The application can be filed 120 days before the expiry date. (based on webm's reply).
2. If you travel outside the country and re-enter before the expiry date on the AP, you will still be paroled into the country for another year from the data of entry. Is this correct?
3. What does this date (till when you are paroled) stamped on the AP when you re-enter on an AP mean? What happens after this period - is there any specific action one needs to take to extend this time explicitly?
4. Does the answer to (3) above depend on whether you are on an I797 (H1) approval that is valid for a period beyond the paroled date or you are on an EAD?
Thanks for any help.
