Highly Skilled Professionals Call on Congress to Pass Green Card Reforms
Immigration Voice Organizes Congressional Advocacy Days for Highly Skilled Legal Professionals
Washington, D.C. – From April 4-5 2011, over 175 members of Immigration Voice from around the nation will descend onto the nation's capital to ask their congressmen and senators for reforms to the broken Green-Card process.
“While K-Street, the Hi-Tech industry and Congress is distracted once again by H-1B visas, recycling the same old talking points one more time, Immigration Voice’s laser-like focus remains on the nearly 500,000 highly skilled immigrants who remain backlogged for 10-15 years waiting for their Green Cards,” said Aman Kapoor, president of Immigration Voice. “These highly-skilled professionals believe that the H-1B visa controversy sucks-up all the oxygen in the room whenever employment-based immigration policy is discussed. However, the real problem lies in the fact that there is a huge pool of talent untapped by American employers in the form of highly skilled legal professionals who have been living here on temporary visas as they patiently wait for their Green Cards. These law abiding, tax-paying, highly skilled future Americans, cannot start their own companies and immediately create jobs in America, change employers or accept promotions during the Green Card application process, which now spans 10-15 years. This creates serious quality of life issues and ultimately hurts the U.S. economy.
“Immigration Voice aims to create awareness with members of Congress, congressional staff and policy makers about the Green Card backlog, which inhibits job creation, entrepreneurship and wealth creation for all Americans. These immigrants are waiting to showcase their innovation leadership with their U.S. work experience American education. Immigration Voice will insist that Congress focus on the Green Card backlog rather than on H-1B visas,” concluded Kapoor.
Immigration Voice has arranged nearly 350 visits to congressional offices April 4-5 in both the House and Senate. You are invited to meet these activists at their Capitol Hill reception:
What: Immigration Voice Congressional Reception
When: 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, April 5th, 2011
Where: B-340 Rayburn House Office Building
To learn more and to arrange an interview with Immigration Voice on the dates listed above, Contact: Immigration Voice (202) 386-6250 or Press@ImmigrationVoice.org
Founded in December 2005, Immigration Voice is a rapidly growing, national grassroots, non-profit 501 (c)(4) organization with 57,000 highly-skilled legal immigrants as members. Immigration Voice is committed to commonsense reforms to the employment-based immigration and Green Card process.

Folks i got a LUD on my AP 7 days back and again LUD 5 days back. But the status didn't change nor i get any letter of so far.
Does this means i'm on my way to a RFE :) If they send RFE does that gets reflected on the Online Status ??
Thanks much!
Online status would change if you have a RFE on your AP(as matter of fact for all forms)... Normally it says "A notice was sent asking for additional evidence"

Folks,
We have a Consulting Firm Run Professionally. Little about me, Have been in the country for past 12 Years. Came up the Ranks via Consulting Firm like many of you.
Some Facts & Disclosure..
I am not Here to Hire Folks, just to voice my Opinion. Something that People on H1b should hear from Employers View as well. There is lots of Information to go around, from Consultants, who been here for few years to new folks who come to USA. Mostly its just Bad news for the new comers... Welcome to Bload Sucking Desi Consulting Firm.. Welcome to New Jersey.. or where ever you may land.. You get the point.
I am not here as Voice of Rest of Employers.. Just Pointing things out as I See it..
OK.. here we go..
Most of the employers, HATE doing Percentage bases. Give any employer a choice, between doing working on 70/30 or 80/20 or with a Stright Salary... 99% would be willing to work on Straight Salary Basis. Because that's what is Required by the Law. Simple as that.
I do Agree that there are lot of employers, who don't pay on Bench. WE DO. Here is what has happened very recently with our employees.. Few of our Employees have QUIT because we refused to do % Basis & these are the guys who came 6 months ago on new H1b. I would understand the Senior Employees Who have been with us for say 2-3 years ask for % basis Pay.
Now We are in a situation where we have Agree on % Basis Pay as a Company Wide Policy & then offer is to all our employees.. But that puts us on odd with Department of Labor. Which Madates every H1B employee to be on staight Salary basis.
You tell us what are our Options.. Either we Fire/lose employees who want % Basis pay.. just because their peers are getting it (EVEN If it is ILLEGAL )
We Don't Charge a Penny for a H1b, We foot the Bill.. Just as an Example we LOST 32,000 This year, just in Lawyer fees for H1b's not selected in the lottery.. I Know & Fully Understand that its a Cost of doing Business..
Now, if we go on % Basis, our whole model changes... Because, There is Cost of Doing business, Managing Employees, Marketing, H1b, Greencard, Full Pay on Bench, & Last but not least Profit.
So if i have put employees on % Basis, that means We as company are making Hardly anything. Which means, we have to charge new h1bs, for at-least Lawyer fees.. What if it does not get selected, what do we do. Refund the money, Then whats a point of taking the money in the first place.
We WANT to pay on bench, because most people normally do find a project in 30-45 days, Provided they are Technically sound.
With Percentage Basis, We can't do that.. Since the Employee has chosen to work on Hourly.. No Work No Pay.
What should we do for Holidays .. Again No Work- No Pay..
We have done the Calculations.. Believe me.. There is Hardly any Difference Between % Pay & Straight Salary if you account the following at the end of year...
-- Medical & Dental Insurance.
-- Expense of Relocation, Moving your Apt, Car & Staying in Hotel for a week before you find a place to crash
-- No Bench Pay, No US Holiday Pay, No Sick Leave
-- No Pay for Vacation, Unless you don't Believe in Vacation.
-- No Green Card
-- No H1b Extension.. You would have to foot the bill at the end of your 3 year term on H1b.
When you account for the above.. you tell me..
We don't want our employees to take the Above risk.. believe me I have try to make these guys understand & have reasoned with them.. Provided with Financial Calculations..
What do (Some) of our employees see.... Just a Few Bucks more... Nothing else..
So I am going to let you guys Answer this Question...
Who is making us Going on the EVIL-DESI-Consulting-Path ?
Thanks

Is there any plan to propose another class to USCIS in addition to EB1, EB2, EB3, ...?
I may have to wait for 25-30 years for my grand-childrens to sponsor me.

eb3_nepa,
Multi national aspect of IV team should come up on its own without anyone of us forcing it that way. One thing we should forcefully implement is give everybody an oppurtunity to speak up, if a right candidate steps up.
Again we should also be concerned about how we are interfacing the outside world. At this point in time we should be result focused than process focused.
thanks

Completely off topic - Lou == Rev??? I was wondering what the heck happened to him.
Completely on topic - to say you NEED to know "AS HTML PHP XML XSLT by heart " is completely ridiculous, what if he is going to design a site for the local barber who just wants some info on the web? Chances are his first job isn't going to require flash, PHP, and XML integration. Then again I've never had a job. :shrug:

But he asked me nothing
Does mumbai consulate still require you to submit documents in advance (4-5 days) of the interview date ?

Hello guys,
My frustration is increasing and patience going down. I am strongly considering moving back to India. When planning the move, a few questions popped in my head the answer to which I am not able to find (yet); hence putting it out here.
1. How can I inform SSN department or credit bureau that I am not longer in USA..hence no one can use my SSN even if it gets stolen? Is there a way to "lock" things down?
2. What happens to 401K? Is there a IRS tax law that says because this guy was on H1-B and leaving..don't charge him the 40% penalty?
2.1 After 40% in penalty and 30% in taxes...with the market beaten down...not much remains...wonder if it's even worth touching it. So if I decide to leave the money here in my 401K account, what happens when I want to withdraw it? Rather what is the best way to withdraw it?
3. Any estimates on how much it costs to ship things back to India? I live in 2 bedroom apt..so have the usual stuff.....couch, bed, tv, clothes of many sizes, lots of kitchen utensils. Just an average...I understand things can vary a lot.
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
Others, please feel free to add to the list of questions.
Thanks
1. You can walk to your local SSN office and ask them about the lockdown on SSN.
Ideally if you are near 40 quarters of SSN contribution I will stay here few quarters longer to make it to 40 quarters. This way even if you are in India you will get some money when you retire ( few 100 dollars are not bad). ( I know about SSN and its problems but still there will be something there)
2. There is nothing in 401K laws that says you can withdraw the money before you turn 59.5, but you can try to establish a case of hardship and see. The predefined cases are here
401khelpcenter.com - Hardship Withdrawals Give Access to Your 401k Savings, But at a Cost (http://www.401khelpcenter.com/401k_education/hardship_withdrawal_article.html)
2.1 The Penalty is not 40% it is only 10%, (usually the way it goes in 30% tax + 10% penalty gives a total of 40% loss). But as someone suggested you can withdraw it in phases and not pay the taxes, in that case you will only pay the 10% penalty. I will consult a tax attorney to get more information on this.
also r2i websites are great help.
Good Luck

DL is issued in CO upto the validity of your I-94, which is fine.
So, for each H1 renewal or extension, you have to queue up in DL office. Also, for dependents visa holders (H4), before you go to DL office, you have to go to SS office, get a letter from them that a SSN cannot be and will not be issued. Such a hassle.
In FL, it is being extended to only 1-94 date.

Since you asked what I am exactly doing here:
I am not here to discuss illegal immigration. I am here to discuss how we can put acceptable proposals out there so we can all get out of this mess, or at least get out of here a little faster !
Folks, allow me to tell you that we cannot succeed in this fight if our strategy remains wrong. By no means we shall find ourselves supporting what is against public opinion in our host country, which is now America. You guys from time to time, now what is called senior members from IV, pst phrases which may be PERCEIVED as an attempt to disguise the status of illegal aliens movement. Undocumented immigration simply doesn't exist. There are numerous ways one can find oneself without documents. I outlined an example before. "Immigrant" is not the correct designation if you never immigrated here. Start by showing our alignment with this country by using the correct term. We may be better accepted that way. By the way, wake up, is in major part thanks to the illegal aliens that many of us are stuck.
Tomorrow you can go to India as an immigrant. The day that you find yourself pushing for more immigration than Indians want, it is the day you will not be welcome in that lovely country anymore. Italy is a sweet country, but people are fed up with immigration there. How about France ? America is next. The lack of sympathy for immigration is in the air. Which are our chances to fight against it just because we conceal our proposals ? Minimal.
Sure. Do you want another one ?
immigrant
Main Entry: im�mi�grant
Pronunciation: 'i-m&-gr&nt

I am not here to discuss illegal immigration. I am here to discuss how we can put acceptable proposals out there so we can all get out of this mess, or at least get out of here a little faster !
Folks, allow me to tell you that we cannot succeed in this fight if our strategy remains wrong. By no means we shall find ourselves supporting what is against public opinion in our host country, which is now America. You guys from time to time, now what is called senior members from IV, pst phrases which may be PERCEIVED as an attempt to disguise the status of illegal aliens movement. Undocumented immigration simply doesn't exist. There are numerous ways one can find oneself without documents. I outlined an example before. "Immigrant" is not the correct designation if you never immigrated here. Start by showing our alignment with this country by using the correct term. We may be better accepted that way. By the way, wake up, is in major part thanks to the illegal aliens that many of us are stuck.
Tomorrow you can go to India as an immigrant. The day that you find yourself pushing for more immigration than Indians want, it is the day you will not be welcome in that lovely country anymore. Italy is a sweet country, but people are fed up with immigration there. How about France ? America is next. The lack of sympathy for immigration is in the air. Which are our chances to fight against it just because we conceal our proposals ? Minimal.
Sure. Do you want another one ?

You can apply for extension. Fees are not applicable for extension of status. If it involves status transfer e.g H4 to H1, then you need to pay the fees. I extended my wife, and daughters status just by filing the paper work and got the new I-94.
I did a blunder by not renewing my passport and travelled to India in August 2007, while returning to US , CBP officer in Chicago issued my I94 only till the expiration of Passport , which is March 2008 . My VISA was valid till Jan 2010
I tried to argue but no use his quote "You can not stay in this country with expired passport" as if there is definitive rule
Irony is I travelled to Canada in July 2007 and at that time my I94 was issued till Jan 2010 . It depends on the officer .
Moral of the Stroy "Renew your passports as soon as you can"
I went to Chicago airport after renewing my passport to renew my I94 , but the officer bluntly denied and asked me to visit USCIS local office . Again just few months back my friend was able to change his I94 in the same airport , looks like I m not that lucky
I contacted my Lawyer on the situation and he suggested either to apply for I94 extension with CIS or travel to Canada . Applying with CIS with 300$ fee doesnt make much sense to me so I decided to fly to Canada and got my new I94 -- Yahoooo atlast valid till Jan 2010
Again in the Tornoto airport officer offered me to keep the same I94 as I did not leave US for more than 30 days , After few scary moments I requested that I needed the new I94 and explained my situation and got it.

Some employers won't provide us the receipt notices for our I-485 applications. Yeah, it is supposed to be OUR application but that's how they play this game. Attorney refuses to release the RNs without employer's permission.
If we don't get our receipt notices, can we still change employer in 6 months using AC21. There must be a way out otherwise these suckers have an easy way to bypass AC21 laws...
anyone?
