When i initially got RFE, i didn't know at that time that there were already few H1-B's denied from my company. I believe last year when CSC started processing H1-B's they issued RFE's to lot of companies. Most of them got through even though they had few issues but unfortunately my ex-employer got caught and they have denied majority of extensions and new petitions with the reasons i have mentioned before. Till that time, i didn't had much knowledge about the process. I thought i was safe coz my W-2's were almost double the amount that stated on the labor and i was employed, i have provided all the client details, PO and everything. Inspite of that, my extension was denied. Coming to your questions, i have moved out of the company after 6 months of my 485 filing. I haven't filed any H1-B, No AC21(just change of attorney) and i also have an another 140 pending with my new employer and i don't think that 140 is going to work coz there are lot of complexities. Talk to your employer about this. Are you the only person in this situation or anyone else with you in your company. Are there any other petitions that are recently being approved or denied? He is the right person who can tell you about your petition. If you think your employer is not that good by sticking with all the rules,you still have time to move to another company. Even if your petition gets denied, if you want to maintain H1-B status, you can still do that, but there is little bit of extra money involved to get back on to it.
There is nothing to be nervous about this coz there is very little that you can do about this. Majority of the companies got this RFE and lot of them got out of it. Looks like you have a good relation with your company ( 5 years is a good amount of time ). Please talk to them and make a decision based on what they have to say..Hope everything goes well .. never know u could be green before your extension decision is made..Good luck..
Thanks sankar_203.....I would like to talk to you more on this...do you mind giving contact number ?
Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it...

unfortunately more than 80% of backlog elemination is completed, so labor substitution even though it is removed from july 16 has already done its damage. scores of people have already done labor substitution.
How come they did not stop the substitution right away? Instead, giving it another month. Wish they gave the visa bulletin another month. :cool:

Get back guys. Don't waste your time on GC discussion. D what you love most, things will eventually fall in place.
Can i safely assume posting irrelevant/illogical messages in forums is what you "LOVE THE MOST TO DO"

thanks spulgur, RSM1444 for your contribution.
There has been some pickup in contributions, however based on this average, we may only reach 25% of our funding goal. Some things like reserving conference rooms, appointments, need to be done well in advance.
If anyone already has other large financial commitments you could even send a check for a smaller amount and post it here for accounting. Please also let all your friends know about this event and attend and/or contribute. I promise to contribute more.
Amount raised = $2100.00
Contributions needed = $47,900.00

Thanks Zooom, for starting this thread. I've mentioned about IV Core's selfless service in our 'Thanks' thread couple of days ago but didn't know about the magnitude. $64k is helluva money and its just not right coming from one pocket to favor thousands of others. Aman and other core, day by day you raise above and beyond our imaginations as a leader and guide. We assure you that you will not pay another single dime from your pocket.
I pledge $100 to Reimburse the core team now and more later.
And I am sure with the kind of response we have been getting it won't be hard to raise a significant amount....

Careful my friend. Porting rules will be as tough as the rules for applying in Eb2. If you make porting difficult, you will set a higher standard for the approval of your application in Eb2 ending up with the possible rejection of yours and other Eb2 applications.
Why would you want to stop someone eligible to apply in Eb2? If someone has met all the criteria, the same criteria you had to fulfill when applying in Eb2, then what is the problem?

How did I miss this thread for 2 days!!!
Delax and other EB2 wonderkids here:
Law is for people and not the otherway around. Law is not like edging on stone (even then the stone can be replaced with a new edging on it) it is like writing on a paper with a pencil that can be erased, altered, rewritten - if required.
Personal sufferings take priority over skills. Be it on political grounds or humantarian grounds. Else, illegal immigration would not have taken the center stage and pushed you smart kids to the floor.
There is no rule that says ALL spill overs would be given to higher category before flowing down to lower category. If that was the case, last 2007, not all categories would have become current - as if there were less than 60K applications pending from EB2 as of June 15th, they wanted to give some to EB3 as well. Nope. Law allowed them to distribute the spill over to ANY category they wish.
It is not insane to issue spill over to EB3 PDs under 2002 and EB2 PDs say 2004 or 2005. But it is insane to issue GC to EB2 PD 2006 (may be 2007 in september if enough VISAs are still pending by 15th of August) and ask EB3 2001 to wait until October. EB2 can have preference but that does not mean they take EVERYTHING.
And one more thing. It is not easy for everyone in EB3 to change over to EB2 even if they are legally eligible. I can give hundred reasons. Few simple reasons, people may not want to leave their current job as it may be an excellent job/organization/career. May not want to leave their current place due to family reasons. Simple, they do not want to go through another GC process after having waited for 7-5 years! Well these are 'human' reasons which you may not understand as (of late) you believe only in law - which in your opinion - what was that - an absolute entity!
There is no law without people.

I really find it amusing how expectations change. Before getting GC it everyone was wishing for approval.
Now after approval, you are equating happiness to how your name appears on the card? Come on.. give me a break.
Look at the big picture that you have the GC approved. All these other things are trivial.
Hi All,
Me and my wife got our physical cards today. Buit the issue is my wife last name hasnt not been changed to my last name. It is still her maiden name. We have requested them while filing for I-485 with our marriage certificate.
We can still live with this but there SSn, Passport everything has been changed to my last name already. even has EAD card had my last name.
Any sugguestion as wat can be done. We r afraid were gettin our green card happiness will take a while now.

Mehul,
Really sorry to hear that but i do believe that with medical advances you will have a chance. Try to seek best medical care and advise. As others i suggest making an info pass appointment and discuss with an IO i am sure they will help.
I will pray for you and your family.

The �SKIL� Bill
Short Title: Securing Knowledge Innovation and Leadership (SKIL)
Title I � Access to High Skilled Foreign Workers
Section 101. H-1B Visa Holders
Exempts professionals who have earned advanced degrees (e.g. Master�s degree or higher) from accredited United States universities and those who have been awarded a medical specialty certification based on post-doctoral training and experience in the United States from the annual H-1B cap.
Section 102. Market-Based Visa Limits
Raises the H-1B (specialty occupation) cap from 65,000 to 115,000 and creates a flexible system that adjusts with the market.
Title II � Retaining Foreign Workers Educated in the United States
Section 201. United States Educated Immigrants.
Exempts U.S.-educated professionals with advanced degrees and those who have been awarded a medical specialty certification based on post-doctoral training and experience in the United States from the annual green card (i.e. immigrant visa) cap.
Exempts professionals who have earned advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or math, and who worked in the U.S. for at least three years in a related field, from the immigrant visa cap.
Exempts spouse and minor children of professionals from the employment-based cap. Under current law, only about fifty percent of employment-based visas go to actual workers.
Section 202. Immigrant Visa Backlog Reduction.
Raises the immigrant visa (i.e. green card) cap from 140,000 to 290,000 and allows unused visas to fall forward annually.
Exempts aliens of extraordinary ability, and outstanding researchers and professors from the annual green card limit.
Section 203. Student Visa Reform.
Many employers seek to hire U.S. educated students full-time upon graduation, and this change would enable the employer to start the green card process while the foreign worker is on a student visa (F-1) during Optional Practical Training (OPT). Codifies OPT; which will allow U.S. educated foreign students to work in their field for up to two years after graduation.
Section 204. L-1 Visa Holders Subject to Visa Backlog.
Allows an extension of an L-1 (intracompany transfer) visa beyond the fifth or seventh year if the individual has a green card application pending and is simply caught in the green card backlog. This extension is currently allowed for H-1B (specialty occupation) visa holders, but not for L-1 visa holders.
Section 205. Retaining Workers Subject to Green Card Backlog.
Allows foreign workers who have started the green card process, but who are subject to green card backlogs, to pay a $500.00 supplemental fee to file an application to adjust status. This change would enable foreign workers to remain in the U.S. until the green card becomes available.
Title III � Business Facilitation Through Immigration Reform
Section 301. Streamlining the Adjudication Process for Established Employers.
Requires the creation of a pre-certification program that streamlines the adjudication process, and reduces paperwork burdens, for employers who file multiple applications and who have no history of fraud or abuse. Pre-certification would allow those employers to file a petition on a separate review track and not submit repetitive organizational documentation.
Section 302. Providing Premium Processing of Employment-Based Visa Petitions.
Requires USCIS to allow employers to file a �premium processing� fee for expedited adjudication of employment-based immigrant petitions, as well as for administrative appeals of any decision on an employment-based immigrant petition.
Section 303. Eliminating Procedural Delays in Labor Certification Process.
Requires the Department of Labor to process all applications filed prior to the electronic PERM system within six months of enactment. Clarifies the Department of Labor�s process in providing prevailing wage determinations and requires the Department of Labor to establish a website to post open job orders.
Title IV. Miscellaneous
Section 401. Completion of Background and Security Checks.
Requires that no immigration application may be approved until the appropriate background and security checks are completed and any allegations of fraud have been resolved.
Section 402. Visa Revalidation.
Allows temporary workers who have not violated their status to renew their visa from within the United States.
Section 403. Severability.
Clarifies that if any part of this act is determined to be invalid it will have no effect on the remainder of the provisions.
