Please check this post by murthy on Non 09, 2007
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nupush.html
On October 23, 2007, sixteen members of the New Democrat Coalition, led by the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, requested that "the House take action this year to resolve the immediate talent crisis that is facing U.S. employers." The group is pushing for reform that would increase H1B and employment based permanent residence, or "green card" quotas, before Congress adjourns this year.
Any IV updates on this ?
Yet again we have H1B and GC issues together , does this mean there is no chance that this would succeed ?
slightly offtopic:
Its funny that you linked to Murthy's website for such news, as they are typically the slowest to pick up anything like this. Mathhew Oh is fast... and some IV member (or core itself) the fastest.
This was discussed on IV (& even a link to the exact letter posted) the very day it became public:

visit IV often to check for such updates, if something comes up we'll all need to mobilize quickly (phone/fax campaigns)

well discussion is always welcome but do you mean that by discussing in the forums, you will have an effect on what will happen to the bill in the senate?i am all for any steps that will have a direct or indirect impact on the future of the bill. but do you really think that by arguing and debating with each other about what should happen will have any impact on the future of the legal immigration??
I do not think anybody here is a great political personality who is having a voice in the senate or congress, YOu know which forum you are in IV is lobbying and trying to make changes in the bill by lobbying and helping the immigrant communities, so ideas comes from debating and discussing that is the democractic way. Even lot of threads immigrationvoice hosted for ideas alone. so open your eyes. Dont wait to make effect in senate alone, but a combined effort by all of us will do.

No hard feelings. I just really need to get back on my feet, since I am relatively busy I just got my own place, and I really need an idea to set me in motion. I am not a spontaneous artist in any sense at all.
There are many members here, who are looking to get better and get some experience just like you. Maybe you can team up with someone, and do some cool projects to build a portfolio, etc.
Also you should make yourself a website displaying your work that you have now.

Hi IVians,
I am trying to file for my H1 renewal on my own, I want to know if somebody in this community has done that. Also since SESA takes a bit of time in terms of wage determination, can I use the DOL online wage library as my source. Any inputs would be appreciated.
Thanks

MY intention was not to make this India Specific, but to bring to light the lobbying effort....Although the Bill is not passed....it is silently being pushed. The Immigration reform and SKILL is being touted and shouted abt so much, that it becomes a scare for congressmen to even touch it, let alone pass it.
We have to work secretly more than ever..its important. and I hope IV is doing exactly that with Quinn and Gillespi
The bill is passed by both the house now. All its needs is to reconsile by the commitee and its done for President's signature. This was priority for the President all the time since he announced in March 2006 in India. Ofsourse everthing needs lobbying. And IV, I think is doing its best in this regard.
I think we should stop responding to this thread and leave it as it is. I am Indian and I am happy for India that this deal is passed. Now lets concentrate on our major problem, "The Green Card". Hope you all understand that.

Thanks Jerrome for the quick reply.
Company B can file an H1 for me but since I have already spent 5 years in USA I just have about an year left out of the total 6 years. So that's an issue.
Also some more info - when I came to USA I was on an H1B which expired in Mar2008 and I filed a COS to L1A. So to my knowledge company B can revoke my L1A and I can go back to H1B without going through the 2009 quota and waiting till Oct2009. And in this way join company B. Is my understanding correct? But in this case my L2-EAD spouse will loose her job.

I e-filed my EAD renewal yesterday and got the reciept copy.
Now what are the documents i should send USCIS? Do you guys have the list of documents to be mailed for EAD renewal?
We have couple of threads covering it.
1. Copy of I485
2. Copy of both side of EAD (and for faster processing, upper part of mailer, in which EAD came)
3. Copy of Passport Photo page and last Visa Page (Serves as federal id)
4. Copy of DL (other id)
5. EAD filing receipt copy
In one or two business days, you may be able to see on line status and LUDs. Soon you should be receiving paper receipt followed by FP notice.

Thanks. I did contact USCIS and they have accepted my request to expidite the cast. It is to be seen if it will actually happen.
My other question is, if my renewal does not come through in-time, since the renewal application is in system, can I continue working after the expiry of my current EAD? Or do I have to quit the job and/or leave the country?
Best,
If they accepted the expedite request, you should get the EAD in your hands within 2-3 weeks.
You cannot work with an expired EAD. Legally, you can work from the day when the renewal EAD gets approved. Some employers insist the production of physical EAD to allow us to continue working. Some employers (few) allow you to work, if the EAD application has been approved. It is not advisable/legal to work when your current EAD is expired and the new one has not yet approved.
You do not have to quit your job. You can go on leave/vacation, if you have leave balance. Else you can go on "Leave without Pay". You do not have to leave the country in no circumstances, because your status is "Adjustment of Stats/I-485 Pending" which in no way gets affected by the expiry of the EAD. If it is not going to come on time, you just have to enjoy one or two weeks of vacation.
Talk to your HR regarding the different options.

Don't waste your money on lawyers. Take things in your own hand. If I were stuck in name check, I would file it myself. The links that are there in your thread are good enough to file your own MTD. A basic undergraduate degree and a good command of English is more than enough to win a MTD. Just use the existing cases on-line to prepare your defense.
Thanks you all so much for the reply! I really appreciate it!
How do I respond to the government's motion that the USCIS's decision on the adjustment of status (I485) is discretionary, so it does not fall under Mandamus? The U.S. attorneys wrote that only NATURALIZATION (but not greencard application) falls under Mandamus. Any suggestions?
I am thinking about using a different lawyer. My current lawyer only complains that he lost money on my case (I paid $2,500 lawyer fee!), but does not really care about the outcome of my case.
I will definitely check with Sheila Murthy. Any other recommendations? If you do not feel comfortable posting your lawyers' contact info. here, can you send me a private message (yingli95@gmail.com)?

Probably USCIS figured they would run into a guy like you at some point and very clearly defined the law. You cannot start a company and do your own H-1 out of it. :D:D:D:D Sorry, better luck next time:D:D:D:D:D
I said so because as EAD you can do (ok, almost) whatever GC holder can do. Employer = EAD, employee = H1.. :) But yes, I am kidding, it is unlikely to be allowed

Similar most common agreement with most of us is that, we cannot directly or indirectly join direct/indirect client for a period of 12 months. (I don't have the agreement right in front of me). But I think you get the picture. If not, I can post in detail in the evening.
In such case, lets say I completed my project at client A thru company A. Four months after leaving the client place (while working at Client B thru same Company A), I get the offer directly from the client A for a permanent position. (Company A still has big presence at client A. Would I be able to join Client A without any hassle? OR is it a waste of time/money to try this option?
Also can anyone also please let me know how to if I can join higher compensation package with invoking AC21 OR transferring the H1? (I am in 8th year of my H1 and have an EAD). Can we have additional job responsibilities than what is listed in the LC?
Pls let me know.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Just me doing the translation will do? And how do I demonstrate the "competence" to do that? :rolleyes:
And yes, I am totally new to IV. The way it has been effective, I will surely contribute...
Even I had considered the idea of translating the BC myself or getting my friend to do it for me...but my lawyer suggested that BC is a very important document and USCIS is very particular about it. so it would be better if you get it done through a professional agency.
