Dear friends,
I have a situation here and it may not be very different from what many others are facing as well. But just that I am not sure what I should be doing now.
I have a H1B visa and I am working for a company in NY state. I will be leaving the company on this Friday (laid off) . My company has informed me that they can hold my H1B for upto a month after which they have asked me to leave the country if they cant find another assignment for me.
My question is :
1) Can I transfer my H1B to some consulting company , that can atleast hold my H1B so that I stay in status? If anyone knows any info on some good consulting xompanies in NYC , that would be very helpful info for me.
2) My wife is on H1B as well .. If I go as a dependent (H4) on her (in case I dont find a job) , will I still be able to shift to H1 in the middle of the year or should I wait until Apr 2010 until the qouta opens? I also would like to know how long it takes for a H1 to H4 transfer and what are the procedures for the same.
3) Can I go from H4 to F1 and then back to H1B when the qouta opens in Apr.
Thanks a lot for your time. I appreciate your help in this regard.
File COS to H4, while you have the active paystubs and transfer back to H1 when you find job. Given the current situation at all front, this is the safest bet and most importantly you are not breaking any law.

It does not matter when no bill is passed and also we are not even close to it. This is giving just false hope .Hope for best and prepare for worst
Are you getting this from official sources? I think Accountancy, Marketing and so on would qualify as long as the degree is a Master of Science.

My priority date (July 06 ) and EB3-ROW . I got couple of LUD ( 4 after June 30, 2009) recently on my I-485 application. In fact I got a LUD today also. I am wondering whether you also got any LUD recently.

If that's the case why should they pre-adjudicate 485s? Lot of guys getting REFs whose PD is 2003. If USCIS wants to approve after 3-4 years, they would not preapprove 485s. That logic won't work out.
If you think out-off-box.... guess what? If US-govt wants to give employment-based-green card based on priority date. Then there won�t be any new immigration law in place without clearing Backlog center cases/queue and I140.
So what... As per the labor department web site, the DOL needs another 17/18 months to clear all pending labors.
I guess any new bill to become law will take another 19 to 24 months. Keep your spirit going to support the best immigration-bill.
My 2 cents.

I left the job last month as I was getting better opportunity. I gave notice period to my employer and he was being cool at that time but then I did not get salary credited in my account for last month when I called my employer and inquired about that, he said he has some dues invoices to client and can not pay until he gets money from client. Can you please suggest me what should I do in this case? My employer said it will take 3-4 months to get those invoices clear.
Please see I am on H1B and never been on bench or out of status.
Generally desi consulting companies work that way with exception to few good ones. I don't see a strong reason why they do that, May be they want to wait and see if they can avoid paying.
In case of last months pay, desi companies pay consultants when they get paid from the client. This is unfortunately how most of desi companies pay. It makes us nervous and at times ruins the relationship with employer.
If you believe your employer and think he is genuine, you could wait but on the contrast if he is genuine why wouldn�t he pay you the money which he is going to get any way?
Before you take any step against your employer ask him when he can pay you and if he doesn�t pay you as promised then I strongly recommend you to contact a lawyer, I am sure desi employer will come down on his knees and pay you. You have a strong case against him.

One thing is for sure, regardless of the intent of the law to facilitate immigration of people with graduate degrees in STEM, USCIS will make sure to get into the weeds of proving or disproving that either the degree is not really technical and/or the field is not related to the degree.
It is so easy to get into fields of enigneering and technology that are not directly related to your "field of graduate studies" but you just happened ending up in that field by virtue of opportunities that came across in your professional life. Such fields could be classified as "unrelated" by USCIS even though, execution of job in that field may not be possible without gaining knowledge in the "actual field of study".
Lawmakers make laws to make things easier for people and organizations like DOL and USCIS leave no stone unturned to use the very same laws to make people's lives hell.

It's here! On time, and as described in ad. This weekend it will get it's first workout... Reading up on new features. I am going to set a few test "banks" (pre-sets) based on last years experience at that facility. Hoping that only minor tweaks are necessary once there.

Guys,
Read till the end....
I know with this thread I'll get 100000 red dots, but anyways never mind...
I see the immigration portal when the process on my other machine is running and I have nothing else to do. But thats irrelevant on why and what I do.
The point is , I see everyone coming up with 100000 different ideas, and then there is a never ending thread of debates on should we do it or do not. pros and cons, blah blah blah. Debates are good , as it results the best of both parties views. But I see a trend here which is , the discussion happens and then the idea goes down the flush. I never see,
kinda list or something like that, which says these were the action items selected by the IV team and this is the status of the same. Seems to me everyone comes up with something and discuss and they forget about it.
I think a bit of Project management is required to be in place. also a workflow with the option to introduce the idea then debate and a voting and once thats done , if idea is selected it should move on to action item category else if the idea is in the process of debate the list should show as the status 'Pending in Process'.
At the end of the day , at a glance everyone will have the visibility of, where do we stand with all the ideas and how far are we with selected ideas as action item and results of it.
Well I think this is also an idea and will now subject to debate and then lets see if it goes off the flush or some workflow and new menu items appear on the IV.
Nothing negative , but the IV members and views are to scattered, specially with the lack of ownership and leadership its like headless chicken running is all directions, and I totally understand the admin of this group and website are also guys like us , who got jobs and family and tons of different things to do, but now I think there is a need to revisit and see how the division of the labor can be done and responsibilities are assigned so that not just a few guys gets the pressure of getting the things done, but a joint responsibility like an organization( not just a word but in real sense) gets the mission accomplished.
Well the processing is complete I'll get back to my other screen now..
PS: No intentions to hurt or demoralize anyone or any effort. Just thought a little enforcement and leadership is required so thought of mentioning it. ( My english is not so great so please pardon me)
<B>The same thread was posted with a different heading on the forum with the heading " Status Update on Action Items"</B> . I was trying to do the analysis on what kind of readers does this portal has. The readers who really wanna do something or just timepass.
And if you are reading this and skipped reading the other one, you are one those thousand who do not wanna do anything but just sit and timepass and when get frustated, open a thread and vent out frustation with some idea.
The reason behind this conclusion is because, if you want to see a difference and to see where are you heading to in terms of what is done and what is to be done, you would have open the other thread. Makes sense?

Taking a cue from above........
Why did Washington Post not cover a very important issue that effects Legal Immigrants when DOS & USCIS Slammed their Doors ,on July 2 2007, in an unprecedented/unlawful manner that resulted in millions of dollars wasted and dreams shattered of lawfully present Highly Skilled Immigrants.

If I work on EAD and do not get the EAD card before it gets expires, do I need to inform my employer about the status. If I inform them they will be removing my name from the payroll and it will be hard to include it again. It is like my job getting terminated.

The per country limit for countries is 7% and for dependency is 2% . I am not sure what the exact definition of dependency is. The FAM manual lists dependencies. Greenland is listed as a dependency.
Greenland became an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark in 1953.
Greenland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland)
FAM Manual
Powered by Google Docs (http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:duOg7IY_8mcJ:www.state.gov/documents/organization/87529.pdf+FAM+dependent+area&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESg0NHOav5w3YDyGRuQ-5l8cUKd7K2x0xOpgUYuc2NMh4tdd3NmeDc4St58eMcS1B8SNt1 MNP82kcQSARNnTKrvmZZUV5yKuQ9_TDvjjfsQNfLurfQ1SfFFA 18ETbPO8Qp6lJbtM&sig=AHIEtbQOfqJ345B3_l9i_ta2BfQz-cTCTg)
If Greenland which is a part of Denmark can be listed as a dependecy be classified as dependencies and given their 2% share each why cannot Union Territories of India i.e. Union Territories:
Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Chandigarh
Dadra and Nagar Haveli
Daman and Diu
Lakshadweep
National Capital Territory of Delhi
Puducherry
Additional Research: Goa and Pondicherry have been removed. Can somebody help me with the official UN docs?
United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_list_of_Non-Self-Governing_Territories)
Union Territories - Profile - Know India: National Portal of India (http://india.gov.in/knowindia/union_territories.php)
So are scotland, wales considered dependencies? Kashmiris can get passport from Pakistan if they want. Who would give passports to Hyderabadis?
Goa and Pondicherry are states now.
It is difficult without knowing the meaning of dependencies and how it is defined.
