Changing F1 to GC law to make it legal has as much chance as getting law change to not include dependents. I would rather support the latter then support F1 to GC law change
I do look beyond my own situation and thats why i support current spillover rules and filing 485 without current PD issue even though it does not help me directly in any way what soever and if fact is dterimental to my EB3 case.
Can you say the same ? C
Can you support an argument to give 50 k dv visa to badly retrogressed category irrespective of preference category?
Fact is You are the one who cannot see beyond your own selfish needs and you are accusing me of the same thing you are doing
As far as i know the whole MS F1 visa is a big scam and loophole to enter us and stay here when you are not supposed to and that is the loophole that needs to be closed first instesad of worrying about fruad porting and EB1 fraud. Closing thsi student GC loophole will clear up the whole EB retrogression mess
Yes, I support excluding dependents from quota.
If you look at IV's agenda, most of the items benefit EB as a whole. The idea is to reduce number of people being part of quota. If you think in these terms, you should not have any problem in supporting "Exclusion of STEM grads" from regular quota.
I support legal porting of EB3 to EB2 even though its detrimental to my own case. So I am not selfish like you call me :)
As for your stand on MS F1 visa, you remind me of "rkay". He too makes nonsensical statements like you. If there was an violation of law, USCIS would have known it and plugged the loophole. If you have found some "loophole" that USCIS doesnot know, let them know.

From the following information:
1.Grant GC to all EB 2 / 3 class pimary applicants who have completed 8 years of continuous stay in the USA without any criminal record.
Personally, I do think the above bill you requested in the #1) is extremely difficult to work. It is because there was a bill proposed to the EB-2/EB-3 applicants to occupy the annual DV-lottery of 55,000 quota but it is NOT becomed a law yet. Now is April, 2011 and the DV-lottery results of this year will be announced soon online and the coming year of DV-lottery will be drawn again later during this coming Oct, 2011 but there is still NO hope to give those EB-2/EB-3 applicants into this DV-lottery quota. If this quota is occupied by EB-2/EB-3 applicants, less applicants will be in GC line.
Also, there is a proposed bill to allow foreign US accreditated universities' advanced graduates of STEM and with a US job offer to have GC but again it is NOT becomed a law yet. Also, your proposed EB-2/EB-3 applicants who have continuous stay of 8 years in US without criminal record to have GC may not fit the requirement of US needed because some of these EB-2/EB-3 applicants are NOT graduated in US universities and some of them are NOT in Science, Medicine, Engineering and Techology academic major which US society in demand.
Last time I have read some other online news or forum, it talks about there is guy who was graduated in a US university with double Master degree---one is M.Sc in computer science and the other is MBA and he still get stuck in getting his first new H-1B visa and later he decided to back home without choice. Yesterday I have read some other online news or forum, it talks about some people who graduated in US Ph.D or doctorate degree in Science/Engineering/Medicine cannot get the GC or some of them get stuck in his or her first new H-1B visa application (due to quota was full or from other reasons) or get stuck in the H-1B visa renewed. So without H-1B visa, how can they get into the EB line for GC?----They are all US graduates and have stayed in US for more than 6-8 years to study with social security card and drivers' licenses and without criminal record !!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you can see if your requested bill in #1) is working, so how about those who graduated in US university in Advanced degree of Science/Medicine/Engineering with US job offer or without H-1B visa?------They are US STEM graduates and have stayed in US with 6-8 years either study or work without criminal record (and with social security card and drivers' licenses)
Personally, I do believe since US demand Science/Medicine/Engineering (STEM) type people and also need the inflow of money to rescue the national debt, so why don't allow those US STEM type graduates get the GC and bring the money to immigrate to start up companies to create job opportunities and to buy houses. Then the non-STEM graduates who want to stay in US can also go into the second path of immigration such as bring money to set up companies to hire 3-6 persons for better economy. The DV-lottery can open to any US STEM graduates to enrol online by " first come, first get" basis and if once annual immigration quota of 55,000 is filled, those graduates need to wait for another year to enrol online for immigration. So every STEM or non-STEM graduates bring money to start companies in US creating job opportunities, paying taxes and bring inflow of money----better economy is growing up.
Moreover, those graduates will invite friends/relatives to visit US, increasing sales of both international and dosmetic airline tickets, hotel reservations, restaurant reservations and uplift the profits all kinds of retail businesses. Tourist visa fees will also add monetary income. Overall, inflow of money and jobs creation are dual powers to uplift the economy.
With inflow of money from immigration, there is NO government shutdown and there is NO hiking taxes needed for the existing US companies.
Also, in Australia, it allows foreign graduates who have stayed in Australia for over 5 years and without criminal record to get the GC automatically
OK first of all this proposed bill has no relation to the DV lottery neither does it have any relation to H1B visa. We are talking about the people who are stuck in GC queue for 8 years or more. Which means we are referring to people you started their GC application 8 years ago and still waiting in queue without knowing when their number will come. I hope this clarifies your doubts. Just because you stayed legally for 8 years does not/should not qualify you for getting permanent residency, you have been legally here and paying taxes for the past 8 years there by contributing to the economic growth of the country and this should be the reason why the US govt should consider you for giving you permanent residency. Think about the kids of EB3 holders who are on H4 and want to join college after 16 years, They are not considered residents in US and there by all the international rules apply for their college studies. So much for being in US for 8 years or more and paying taxes to the government and contributing to the economic growth and you get to pay more and more. When illegals can get a DREAM ACT why not our kids? if you are married recently and had your kid born here in the US you might not understand this because your kid is a US citizen but it has a huge impact on EB category members whose kids are not born in the USA, just think about them.
One has to start somewhere to achieve their goals without even trying to start how can we think this is not possible. I don't want to give any examples here but I would like to say that out motive should be to turn the IMPOSSIBLE to I'M POSSIBLE. Those who are with me please contribute. Critics are welcome without them we would never get new ideas for discussions.
Wishing for the betterment of everyone in this forum!

Maco,
As i said earlier, i relied too much on my employer as istated to him in the first place to do a change of status Visa. They didn't do it, and as i was under the impression that i didn't have to go to India to get it stamped, i didn't leave the country so far and worked all these days. The ugly thing is that even my employer didn't ask me to go to India and get my Visa stamped in India, but he did find projects for me and produced pay slips all the time so far. Now, i found out the mess i am in, that too because i was ready to apply for I-140 and I-485 together. The immigration attorney who is preparing my I-140 caught my out of status situation and all the hell broke lose. Is there a way to seek an adjustment n my status from INS based on the fact that i was eligible for Chnage of Status from L-1 to H-1 in 2005, but mistakenly, i got a H-1 that was supposed to be stamped? Would they consider any such cases? Is there any example of anybody whoever did it???
And even if i leave the country now, would i face any problem in next three years, if i attempt to come to USA on a new H1 next year, with a new Visa?
Please provide me some advice if anyone knew any situation like this before?
Thanks !!

Best thing to do is stay here till your visa extension is due,and apply for extension from here,you will get new 194 with your extension if its approved.
hope they dont notice it,usually they dont..but take attorney advice.

I have no words for people in this forum, suggesting the person to just be quite and not report about that nanny who has harmed a child who is just 8 months old...it is very sad, sickening, and shocking that a majority of you guys are giving such bad suggestion.
Your first instinct as a parent is to protect your child.
If the child is harmed and you have the proof, man!!!! I would not be discussing that on this forum, but would go straight to the police station and give the complaint and protect my child and scores of other child who might be next if that nanny is not booked by the authorities.
She has advertised in a web site. It not going to be a big crime if you unknowingly hire someone who happens to be not authorized to work. At most its a misdemeanor with a fine.
But keeping quite after seeing what that devil has done to a child, it really bogs my mind, can't imagine why you folks are so afraid.
Report it to the authorities soon...believe me, you would not regret it for the rest of your life.
Immigration and IRS are not linked in any way: Just found this on the internet, does it make any sense?
Families who decide to hire or retain their illegal immigrant employees are able to comply with all of the current payroll tax reporting requirements, even if the worker does not have a valid Social Security number or US Work Authorization. The Internal Revenue Code prohibits the sharing of taxpayer information with other government agents - see THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 5 U.S.C. � 552a. HomeWork Solutions' staff can assist employers in this tax compliance, including preparation of back tax returns. Remember, tax compliance by illegal immigrants does not confer work authorization, but non-compliance will make them ineligible for future legal status.

As many are aware, there was a huge rush to buy and sell pre-approved labors during July-August 2007, when all the priority dates were suddenly made current. Tens of thousands of labors were sold by fraudulent consulting companies to many questionable GC seekers, who hadn�t even started the process till then.
It is those substituted labors which are clogging the pipelines now. Just think, last month EB3-I stood at November 2001. Now it is completely unavailable. It can�t possibly be because so many pending labors with such old priority dates suddenly got cleared this month, and beneficiary of these labors filed 140+485 together. I seriously doubt that a candidate whose labor is pending since such a long time is even keeping that GC process alive. In all likelihood he/she must have moved on in life.
There is only one explanation. These labors were already pre-approved. It is the attached I-140 on these labors that are getting approved rapidly. And the subsequent I-485 petitions on these applications are depleting the visa numbers.
The reason of this post is not to start an argument about the ethics of labor substitution. It is just a FYI post to explain the seemingly inexplicable. The chickens are coming home to roost.
Not completely agreed. Same as people filed in EB2 - no more qualified just better luck that their employers agreed and job description fit with EB2. Unlucky people like me got into EB3. I say EB2 are clogging....
This will take us to nowhere. Lets concentrate on something positive like recapture.

I remember the IO asking my spouse about being a member of a job-related professional association. My spouse used to be a member of such an organization and mentioned so. The IO then remarked that such membership is a requirement for such kind of a job. She then just let it go, however.
You say that she asked you wife about being a member of some orog. Did the IO already knew that per her own investigation or di you guys mentioned that to her prior to her asking abou it.

Harish,
In the initial update release by INS, it is stated that
"USCIS will reject all cap-subject H-1B petitions for FY 2008 received on or after Wednesday, April 4, 2007."
They are saying that they will reject and they obviously are not meaning that they will REFUSE the Courier/ Post the application materials received after this date. So, it could happen that they will accept all applications that are being sent but will reject only after they confirm that they have reached the limit.
So, what if Master;s quota does not reach the limit? so still might have a chance. So, try to find an employer who will be willing to hire you and sponsor your H1 under Master;s quota. So, if they have received less applications and start looking for the ones received after April 4th you might stand a chance.
One another factor is "You do not have a masters degree yet and you will not have it until May as you are graduating in May. So how will your application be treated as Masters" here is my thinkng
you will file with all the available supporting documents and you will make it appear as if you indeed are filling under Master's quota. Your application will have insufficient doccumentation and they will raise a query on your app. and by the time this happens you can hope that you will receive your degree, or you will delay it till the maximum possible extent and will send them back with supporting Masters Degree. Again these are just my thinking you might want to validate with some professionals as whether or not this logic stands a chance.
Even, if you do not get a chance to apply now. I do not think you need to defer your master. Go aheah and complete your masters as planned and accept the opt. You will apply for H1 in 2008 for H1 to start from October. Now, the question is about the period June - October 2008. You can enril your selves in some short term course, Kaplan has some which will also give you I20. So these courses will help you sail during this period.
Hope this long content helps!!!

So, if they have received less applications and start looking for the ones received after April 4th you might stand a chance.
One another factor is "You do not have a masters degree yet and you will not have it until May as you are graduating in May. So how will your application be treated as Masters" here is my thinkng
you will file with all the available supporting documents and you will make it appear as if you indeed are filling under Master's quota. Your application will have insufficient doccumentation and they will raise a query on your app. and by the time this happens you can hope that you will receive your degree, or you will delay it till the maximum possible extent and will send them back with supporting Masters Degree. Again these are just my thinking you might want to validate with some professionals as whether or not this logic stands a chance.
Even, if you do not get a chance to apply now. I do not think you need to defer your master. Go aheah and complete your masters as planned and accept the opt. You will apply for H1 in 2008 for H1 to start from October. Now, the question is about the period June - October 2008. You can enril your selves in some short term course, Kaplan has some which will also give you I20. So these courses will help you sail during this period.
Hope this long content helps!!!

GCstatus,
You joined just one month ago and started accusing IV because they did not reply to your PM. We get several PMs, emails, phone calls everyday. We try to attend as many as possible. However we also have our jobs and life. Not every IV core member comes to the forum to post messages. There are several things we do for this cause that is not forum management work.
If we had an office with a customer service department, we could answer everyone. If people want good customer service from IV, are they willing to provide help through their spouse who does not work and stay at home? In the last 2.5 we have posted several times, but only a handful of members offered help through their spouses to volunteer for IV. After initial start, almost all disappeared within 15 days because there was no money and appreciation by members in this volunteer effort. They preferred to find own jobs and make money. So tell me if you are willing to help out in managing our customer service 24/7?
This is for everyone:
Stop accusing IV if your greencard is not coming soon enough. As Admin2 said, we try to reply to people and help them. However in the last 2.5 years, we never had a single IV member calling us to thank us for helping them. This year everyone is able to file for a 2 year EAD. It was possible because of our effort during the admin fix campaign early this year. So many members are today enjoying the 2 year EAD and do not have to worry about renewing it every year. We have not heard a single member thanking us for it. While we are not here to ask for thank you notes, it is discouraging to hear members coming every week and opening threads accusing IV leadership just because visa bulletin was not in their favor. 2 months ago, some of these members were ignoring IV action item requests and only thinking about own cases and engaging in eb2 vs eb3 on the threads. Put yourself in our shoes and try to do what we are trying to do. Take out that many number of hours everyday for IV as we do. Go on your own expense to DC and meet lawmakers. Get threats from anti-immigrants and still continue to work on this effort without fear.
There is a thread for high five campaign. How many of us have really contributed a mere 5 dollar for it? The community of more than 30 thousand has failed to raise even 5K in more than 2 months and yet we want to see results. 5K is not even enough to file one greencard case and you want to lobby with it and fight with anti-immigrants who spend millions opposing us? Where is IV membership now when we need them? Is the IV membership ready to take the blame for its failure?
Today everyone is talking about sending clocks, letters or even has the courage to send emails to USCIS. 2.5 years ago people were scared to do any of this. Nobody was talking about employer problems or lawyer problems and willing to name them on forums. There was no action item. There was no awareness. But today we have changed all that. This is IV's biggest achievement.
So before you start pointing fingers at IV, pose a question to yourself. Have you done enough for this cause? We need threads to translate into action and results. Your contribution for IV should not be how many threads and posts you have created but what you have done for the community.
As we have always said, join your state chapters and if your chapter is not active, make it active. Be a leader. Use your energy to lead the effort and travel to DC and meet lawmaker offices. Meet lawmakers in your area. Make phone calls, write letters. But don't just create threads with ideas. We need people to work on those ideas.
Remember each one of us is responsible for IV's success and failure and IV is everyone.
