Anzerraja, I could not get to that link. I will pledge an amount.
Lately the members of IV have come to know that Aman Kapoor, the co-founder of IV has sold his house and spent around $64000/- towards the administrative costs of IV. This too was brought to our attention from a regular member like you and me, without which this would not have come to our knowledge at all.
So some of the members have taken an initiative to reimburse Aman and other core IV team members with the expenses they have incurred so far towards the administrative costs of IV. Note that the time they have spent and the sufferings cannot be compensated. Let us do the least by atleast compensating the money. Please do not donate directly to IV funds.
There is a funding drive in this other thread towards reimbursing the administrative costs of IV.

Guys,
I took an info pass last week to check the status of my case. Specifically to check whether the interfile is success or not. IO at USCIS office mentioned that she cannot check whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. I am surprised to hear that. Gurus any has this kind of experience?
Also, She mentioned that my case is assigned to an Officer on August 13th. Do any one has any info how many days(on average), an Office will take to approve a case. Any info. is helpful to me and all.
Overall the Field Office people were polite.
Thanks,
Thun.

50, 100 H1b's.. Are you Kidding me.. Just 22 ! Take a wild guess how much were selected ! 6 ! only 6
Thanks
Are you kidding me???????!!!!! $32,000 for 22 ??? So, per person the Attorney charges is:
32000/22 = $1454.54
Which attorney is charging that much to file for H1??
I had to edit it...since 6 of them got the H1...so, its 22 -6 = 16
32,000/16 = $2000.00 (attorney fees) I don't believe you!!! Mr Desi Company Owner.

Thanks for bringing this up.. This is a legitimate concern.. Lets just hope this doesn't happen to any of us... Although hope is all we can do for now...:(
Has anyone considered the implications of identity theft, fraud etc if the USCIS does start returning the adjustment of status applications? When my daughter applied for adjustment of status a couple of years ago her application was rejected erroneously and returned to her. When she opened the package, it not only contained her information, but also someone else's highly confidential and personal documents. The documents were completely mixed in with hers - all out of order - and even the other person's check was returned to her. The person's case was also very time sensitive and of an extremely confidential nature.
We gathered up the information and personally returned it the local USCIS office - who told us it happens all the time! We sent a letter to the person concerned telling him what had happened and advising him to contact the office immediately.
Imagine what might happen if the USCIS starts returning the 1000's of July applications. There is a good possibility they could mix up applications, return them to wrong addresses or lose valuable paperwork. They certainly won't return applications via Fedex or UPS - they'll just throw them in the mail without any way to track them.
Many green card applicants, have social security numbers and have been working for years to build good a credit history. Anyone getting hold of these packages will have access to all personal history, addresses and of course the bank account information on the checks sent to pay the application fees. Just a thought . . .

Dear Pappu and Core Members,
I appreciate all your efforts and have made my own contributions to support what IV does. Lately due to the political standstill in the House, we have not seen much movement on the immigration issue. At the same time it is important to have some actions illustrated in the open forum to attract the attention of new members and existing members who continue to visit this website. I am of the opinion that unless the 'interest level' of people is maintained in coming to this website, understanding the action items and following them, people will lose interest in visiting this website.
Regards
Jimi

Youre allowed to stay in H1 status for 6 years. If you want to extend it over 6 years, that extension will be based on the EB petition (you need an LC and approved I-140). If that EB petition is denied and denied again thru appeals (MTRs), you are out of status.
Please read: http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5293
Please consult your immigration attorney and do not rely on information posted here, that is your best chance at being assured.
Did you really read it properly? That talks about you cannot revert back H1 once you have completed six year term with no other eligible pending applications. If someone is seventh year H1 and denied after the seventh year started then he can complete the seventh year. But he will get year number eight. Approved H1 will not become invalid at this stage.

I got 30 more days for the 240 day calendar rule :mad:
FYI: I got my I-140 approved on 07/06/2007 after 7 months of wait. This just makes me think that while approving I-140 they didnt even looked at my H1B. The processing of these applications are completely separate. Since my I-140 got approved recently, my employer might not have lot of issues with IRS or INS. ??????????? what do you guys think.

Administrative Fix-IT campaign
No. It's not a typo. USCIS indeed needs to help us in order to help itself. With the recent campaign by Immigration Voice to request the administration to pass certain measures that would immensely help the High Skilled Legal Immigrant community, USCIS can legitimately and administrative improve its processes, so that it can go back and do what it does the best - Adjudicate immigration applications.
Despite the reality of a huge economic deficit to be borne by the new administration, the Inspector General recently cautioned Congress about the impending backlogs caused by outdated policies and the slow pace of IT modernization of USCIS. One statement in particular stands out - USCIS has come out with plans to modernize its processes, but these plans are pending approval.
Quote : Until USCIS improves IT management and operations, the USCIS will not be in a position to either effectively manage existing workloads or handle the potentially dramatic increase in immigration benefits processing workloads that could result from proposed immigration reform legislation - Oh Law Firm
The current administration should pass these administrative fixes in order to better the main purpose of USCIS.
Some of the fixes include -
1. Recapture administratively the unused visas for permanent residency to fulfill the congressional mandate of 140,000 green cards per year.
Due to processing delays, USCIS is forced to waste approx. 20,000 visas allocated for the Employment Based Permanent Residency process. This measure will indeed help USCIS to process and clear the backlog once and for all.
2. Revise the administrative definition of "same or similar" to allow slight additional job flexibility for legal immigrants awaiting adjudication of adjustment of status (I-485) petitions.
By strictly defining job categories, legal immigrants are subjected to undue hardship and career stagnation. When a legal immigrant decides to move to another job with a different (and usually better) position, he/she is forced to start the legal immigration application cycle again, causing more paperwork and process cycles on USCIS's part. One way of Simplifying the process is to relax or broaden the definition of "same or similar" job description while applying for a visa during a job change. Imagine stuck in the same job for 6-10 years because federally mandated visa numbers are not available but you have been successfully approved to get one.
3. Allow filing of Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) when a visa number is not available.
Form I-485 is the last step of the Permanent Residency process. This step is required in order for a legal immigrant's status to be adjusted to that of a Permanent Resident. Without this step, applicants cannot apply for I-485 and have to wait until visa numbers are available.
4. Implement the existing interim rule to allow issuance of multi-year Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) and Advance Parole.
EAD or Employment Authorization Document is a temporary status allowing the applicant to work for any employer until the immigrant's 485 application is adjudicated. AP or Advanced Parole allows a applicant who is waiting for his/her I-485 to be adjudicated, to travel to his/her home country in the event of an emergency. Both these documents are available for a hefty sum and are valid only for 1 year. With recent backlog estimates at 800,000 applications, USCIS has to endure tremendous workload by renewing these documents once a year. By issuing documents valid for 3 years, this burden can help USCIS focus better on other adjudication work.
5. Allow visa revalidation in the United States.
Visa revalidation, per the State department, is required to be done outside the US at a consular post in an immigrant's home country. This causes undue burden on the legal immigrant.
6. Reinstate premium processing of Immigrant Petitions.
For those employers looking for a quick adjudication to an immigrant employee's petition to work, premium processing has been a god send. Premium processing forces the employer to pay more in order to receive an expedited decision on the petition. Premium processing was suspended due to receipting backlogs after the July 2007 Visa Bulletin fiasco. Now that the receipting backlogs are over, USCIS should now reinstate premium processing for immigrant petitions.
In-house cleanup of the USCIS by embracing the above administrative fixes will immensely help USCIS realign its purpose of adjudicating visa and permanent residency petitions rather spend a good portion of its time working on supporting "pending state" measures.
I sincerely request everyone to write to the President.

This is a very good PDF on USCIS website..AILA has many rights to demand explaination from USCIS...they do ask questions about EAD extension etc...
We should figure out a way by which AILA demands answers from USCIS regarding using the 140K wasted visas because of slow processing...
IV Seniors/Organizers....any inputs on this?

Are you out of your mind ? You are taking a huge risk by staying in the US and droping your Canadian PR because of some "probable" green card. What makes you think that by the time you finish school the situation will still be better in US. I hope you will not regret this but think about your family. In 3 years you and your family could be happily in BC with free health care, great weather, less stress, travel wherever and whenever you want, have your own law firm.
OR you could be a stressed H1B (a.k.a educated slave) waiting for I-140, I-485, EAD or whatever to come through.
Just because you asked, I have been in this same situation. But in my case, the decision was easy. I was on h1b making 69k. The same job in Toronto offer $55k CAD. Much less, but with my freedom to consult on the side and my wife's income we bring over $100k. We vacation in Florida for a month every year to visit friends. Life has never been better.
Whoever tells you to stay and take the risk is putting your family's hapiness in jeopardy. But the choice is yours. Just don't come here crying when CIS finds a problem with your application.
Thanks gomirage for your views as an actual Canadian resident! I have worked with several Canadians before, and while they all complained about the high taxes it seemed like they generally thought they had a better lifestyle in Canada than in the US.
However, some stuff I've been seeing on sites like notcanada.com concerns me. Is Canada really a place where it's more profitable to sit around and collect welfare than to work, assuming you can even find a job? Are Canadians more racist than Americans? Is it really hard to get by career wise and socially if you're not a native or have the appropriate connections?
I would really like to hear the views of someone having moved to Canada from the US about these issues!
