Trying to reach you guys for a while now.
1. How many active users are there as of today.
2. What are the media we have connection with.
Thanks.
To GCNirvana007,
I have questions for you
- Is your profile complete with your name, CORRECT email and phone number?
If not then forget getting a sincere reply.
You have a huge ego. Is IV your servant to answer you? and you open a new thread for it. If you care so much, why dint you email or call IV. This is what I did when I wanted answer.
I urge Admin not to respond to this thread and close it. You are not GCNirvana007's servant that anyone can open a thread and demand explanation from you and count days for not getting an answer. You are abusing the openness of the forum and wasting everyone's time by making us read your personal 'demands'.
Will you do the same for your company CEO when he does not answer you? Will you do the same with your lawyer who does not even return your email or calls ?
Think about it. Lose some ego. It will be good for your personality.

WASHINGTON � U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a preliminary number of nearly 163,000 H-1B petitions received during the filing period ending on April 7, 2008. More than 31,200 of those petitions were for the advanced degree category.
I read this as saying this....
The 163k number includes the advance degree number. So it is 132K for general and 31k for advance
Ys, total petitions received are 163,000

Hi there,
I have a question related to what you just answered. I am on h4 and my wife is on h1. We have our I140 was also approved. Our PD is in 2007, and right now PD date for EB2 INDIA is April 2004. Can I file for EAD before my PD date? and what is AOS?
My lawyer tells me I cant file for EAD till my PD date is current and I don't want to wait that long
Please advise.
I thank all IV members for their support and help.
If you have the i485 receipt notice, you file EAD by yourself. but to file i485 you need you PD to be current.

One of my close friend and her husband both had Greencard. She delivered baby in India in 2002. They were not able to get their son to US. They tried visitors visa for the baby but the consulate rejected the visa. The baby is still in India with his grandparents. They filed for his greencard (family based). They are counting days to get their son to US. He is already 6 years old. It is very tough for the parents and kid. I am not sure about the other options that people has mentioned. But I see my friend family directly who are facing this problem. I don't think it is a good idea.

USCIS can pre-adjudicate a case, even when visa numbers are not available. This means that USCIS processes all the application, but just waits for a visa number to finalize it.
The processing date listed is the received date of the oldest case that they have not adjudicated or pre-adjudicated yet (maybe due to some problem). It does not mean that cases filed after April 2007 are or will not be adjudicated.

once EB3 Row gets current, some relief can be expected for the retrogressed countires where unused visas can be assigned...
before 2007, lot of labor substitution cases are in picture, also people with multiple LC's too...
the actual no. will be smaller...it just depends on how proactively they will manage to capture the unused numbers etc..that will matter the most.
About 25,000 PERM labors were approved in 2007 for Indian nationals. Assuming a 2.5:1 ratio of 'GC filed:Labor approved', implies that each year 62,500 GC are demanded by Indians under EB. Since only 10,000 are available (across all EB classes), this implies each year a backlog of 50,000 cases is created for Indians.
Since PD are essentially retrogressed from Nov. 2005, we can assume that since then another 100,000 Indians have joined the GC backlog. It can also be assumed that between 2001 and Nov. 2005 there must be another (atleast) 50,000 waiting for GC.
Assuming these numbers are correct, a person filing for labor today is looking to wait for atleast 15 years before getting a GC (150,000/10,000).
As for those wth PD prior to Nov. 2005 - well..... probably anywhere between 1 to 5 years .....
Comments on the analysis.........?

I guess Amartya Sen the Nobel Prize (technically not actually called a Nobel) winner in Economics is still a green card holder.

Hi EveryOne,
I got my Green card in mail yesterday. I want to thank IV and everyone for all the support during this GC journey. I wish everyone all the best for their green card process. I wish everyone gets to file 485 irrespective of priority dates and ultimately get their green cards. This is a question to Admin, i have a recursive donation going on, I would like to make a one time donation and stop the recursive donation.
Thanks.

Come Jan '08 (6 months after the July fiasco) and these companies will learn their lesson hard way. July filers will be able to exercise AC-21 rule to switch employers and most of these desi consulting companies who have no end clients and only supply cheap H1 consultants will have to fold up.
Interesting. I have personally known of companies who teamed up with Attorneys and delayed filing 485s for good performing employees for fear of losing them. Some even cheated their employees by saying they filed but did not file.
During July Visa Bulletin fiasco - I have known of Attorneys that were doing all these things to their clients (I warned these people that their employer and Attorney is jointly cheating them, some understood and sprung in action, some said, there is nothing much we can do, some did not believe me)

My OPT expires around May.I believe the best way is to join some school rather than going for any other Visa Category?isnt it?
Btw ,I asked many lawyers about the OPT extension and they said there is a very little chance that USCIS will approve it unless you have a very very good reason.They are not fools afterall...
I have a Masters from here..and I will be on my F1 again.Offcourse as expected ,the H1B is going to run out in less than a month next year.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
once again.I will aplly for H1B in April and my OPT expires sometime in May?
Does Kaplan provide courses that issue an I-20?
Thanks in advance!!!!

Your friend is capable of a lot; but incapable of asking his own questions !!! Not being cynical or rubbing salt on a wound....but whats the harm in claiming that its your own problem instead of a 3rd persons.?
Given 'your friends' patents & papers in the technical field, self employment as consultant could be possible.
Also ask opinion of attorney on actually incorporating LLC....timing of incorporating such LLC after receiving RFE can be suspect.
Good luck - to your friend.
Hello,
Thanks for your reply. But I do not appreciate the sarcastic cynicism . The only reason I am fronting for my friend is 1. he does not have time now and 2. because of the apprehension that participating in forums like this may put him in more hot soup. I hope you understand.
Also, I am at loss to understand how can people jump to imaginary conclusions without any supporting basis.
Please let us not create any distractions for a really serious problem we have on hand. I am not going to engage in war of words, even if you have a retort for me.

This is my personal experience.
I was on H4 for 3 years to take care of my toddler. During that period I tried to earn some US experience through volunteering as I did not have work permit. I researched little bit on it and finally decided not to volunteer on H4. Attorney's opinion is that H4 holder cannot volunteer for a For-profit organization. They could volunteer only for non-profit organizations like temples, churches,etc.
I waited patiently, got H1b and luckily got a job as my company felt my NON-US experience is good enough to perform my job as senior data analyst.
Hope this helps

Here is a crutch for you.
You have an employee agreement which says that you will be paid health benefits. All you need to tell your Company A (if he comes after you), that you will report them to USCIS that you have exploited him and gave the wrong information before joining the company. This will prevent any desi..staffing company to advance to you, since all their future H1's will be heavily scrutinized and possibly his company will be shut down. He will have his own battle with USCIS. This will prevent him to come after you.
If I were you, I would have all kinds of written emails and documents ready for me to show the old employer that you have proof that the old employer was exploiting you.....I am sure you can come up with tons of things, like not paying on bench. Don't ever talk such matter, always write emails and ask feedback.
Email trails are the best way to keep all these staffing and desi companies at bay and prevent them from exploiting employees......I am speaking from experience buddy.....I had one guy after me and being a PM, by profession I saved all such email trails and he knew that. When I left him he gave me back the $11K, that he had taken from me illegally.
Yes, it is a good idea to spend 100-200 bucks with a reputed attorney like Murthy or Khanna or Shusterman to check your status before you jump. This will give you additional confidence to jump ship.
I get sad and angry at these desi employers who exploit their employees....I am sure some day they will reap what they have harvested....tears and pain of these exploited employees.....
My suggestion to my fellow colleagues is...those of have gone through this struggle...please do not become like them when you too come out of this GC maze.....

Here's a rather strange and may be uncommon situation for someone I know who needs suggestions from gurus here...such huge PD movements do result in strange situations such as these :)
EB3 India Labor + I-140 certified with PD Feb 2003
EB2-140 pending at NSC hoping to port the EB3 PD date
So both cases are now current, which leads to a couple of options for AOS:
1. File based on approved EB3 (and risk a potential retrogression in future)
2. File based on pending EB2 140 before it is approved (and risk potential RFE, etc. and who knows if it would be too late to revert to the EB3)
The other option is to upgrade the EB2 140 to PP, but could you please list the relative merits of the above two options?
My case is also similar and I decided to go with EB2
My EB3 PD is Nov 2002. I got promotion this year and same company applied for my EB2 labor via Perm and got approved with in couple of months.
My attorney already filed my 485 application concurrently while applying for EB2 I-140 PD (PP) last month. I got an RFE(edu: 3 year Engineering degree). My EB2 I-140 is approved yesterday after receiving the RFE response. It's better to utilize the EB2 category if you can, in case if they decide to retrogress again, it's likely that you will get the GC soon with EB2 PD than EB3 PD.
