Hi Friends and Administrators,
I have a suggestion. I am sure the administrators here have much better ideas than mine but I would request administrators to please read this suggestion with an open mind. It might be useful for the community.
I am sure we have enough members working for big companies like Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel etc. The past experiences tell us that congress listens to these companies more than us even if we are making a valid point on the legal immigration issues. The irony here is that these companied care for H1 visa expansion not green card quota expansion. These big companies do not realize the benefit of green card quota expansion to them.
Let me prove how. A large proportion of the immigration community is working for small companies as consultants. Their immigration status makes changing jobs very difficult. Now I am sure if the people stuck in GC process get there GC thousands of people will not be forced to work for consultant companies and will look for permanent jobs. And these big companies are sitting on the top of the most desired companies to work for. These thousands of consultants will be more than happy to work for these big companies after they get there GC.
My point here is that if we can have these Companies speak for us, our voices can be heard by congress.
How this can be done: If immigrants working for these companies as consultants or permanent can start a chain of email and send a signed copy with hundred of signatures to the management, management might think of putting these points across to congress.
The contents of this email should be simple and achievable. Like
1. Recapture of unused Visas.
2. Get rid of the country quota. (This one is difficult but very beneficial).
3. Except US graduates form quota. (This one is controversial in IV community, but if US graduates are out of the quota every one is benefited. US graduates will be benefited more, but others will be benefited because there will be less number of people to share the quota. I mention this one because this point can get big support for the universities also, and I am sure congress does not ignore a voice coming form the universities.
About increasing the quota it is difficult and will not help much if the country quota is still exists.
If the email submitted to the management contain thousands of signatures from immigrants working for here company and people who support these immigrants in the company management and people like Bill Gates might talk to the congress to hemp us.
May be it is 2 cents suggestion but I would like the administrators to think out it with a open mind.
Thanks,

Hi,
I had applied for my H1 extension in June 2008 and waited for some time and then upgraded it to premium processing in July. I did not get any result on my H1 extension but in the meantime my GC was approved in August. My question is will i be able to get my H1 processing fee back, at least the premium processing fee. I heard if your H1 processing doesn't get any result in certain time you will be entitled to get your money back.
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
According to my immigration-lawyer, I have received a notice for interview. I filed under EB2 category and only my and my wife's I-485 is pending. I had friends who got their GC without the interview, but i got called of an interview, so I was wondering why i got called for an interview-any specific reasons that some of us get called for an interview?
Another questions is; i read some blogs and almost all the people who were called for an interview seem to get a list of documents from the INS to take along for the interview. My attorney didnot mention anything about the list, so do all interview notices come with the document list or is it normal to not have one?
Please any insight in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
There has been a lengthy discussion on the same topic few months back, use IV search. BTW, please fill in your profile - no profile often leads no response.

This is my understanding PERM has no fees to department of labour. Is that right ?
Can employee may attorney fees for PERM ?
Can employee pay I-140 fees for USCIS ?
Can employee pay I-140 fees to attorney ?
I assume that employee can surely pay for USCIS-485 fees and attorney fees for this. ?

Respected Madam/Sir,
I have an issue with my H1B application. Please help me.
I attended my H1B interview at Mumbai Consulate on 02nd Dec 2010. At that time Officer told me that you are qualified for H1B Visa but company is not good for you. Officer convinced me to withdraw the petition.
Then they gave me one form and asked me to sign on it and write you are withdrawing the petition.
Next day I called my sponsor and told everything. But sponsor told me that he is ready to provide all the docs and few applications already approve at consulate Hyderabad.
On 20th Dec 2010, I took new appointment and went for interview. At the time of interview I told that "I withdrawn my application as per suggestions given by Visa Officer, But my sponsor had a debate with me and put forth the point that they are not violating any norms and laws, and thereby ready to provide all sorts of doc.Please reconsider my application as they offered me very challenging role".
Then Officer asked few docs about my sponsor and asked me to come directly to consulate with passport and gave me 221 G blue form.
On 5th Jan 2010, I went with my docs and Visa Officer granted me VISA and now I got the passport with VISA.
But, on 4th Jan 2010, just before one day, I got a below mail from Consulate Mumbai.
Dear Sir,
Based on the interviews and documents submitted at U.S. Consulate General Mumbai, we have returned your petition to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for review and possible revocation. If a consular officer receives information during the interview process that was not available to the adjudicating immigration officer at the time of petition approval and that shows the beneficiary of a petition is not entitled to the accorded status, then the petition must be returned to USCIS for re-examination. Due to this requirement, consular officers returned your petition and additional supporting documents to the Kentucky Consular Center.
You may address further inquiries on this petition to the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.
Now I am US, and Officers didnt asked anything at port of entry.
But in USCIS website, the petition status is showing that they recieved my petition from state department and they are reviewing it.
Can I get the SSN and Am I legal to stay in US. What should I do. Please let me.
Thanks in advance

My old labor from 2001 is now up for review. This past Friday, my company put an ad in the newspaper. Dept of labor asked for
3 consecutive days and 1 posting in the office. Sunday was the first day. Basically I have a question. DOL has already placed an ad
on American job bank. They basically have Bachelors as the requirement. They do not mention what the discipline the bachelors need to be in.
However, the ad my company placed last Friday has Bachelors in computer science or Computer information systems. The job description is the same as the one
DOL posted on American Job bank. Do you think because they just used Bachelors in their posting and my company used Bachelors in Computer Science or CIS will
make a difference. Another words, can DOL reject my labor because of that. DOL, by using Bachelors, they are saying that anyone with Bachelors can apply. While my company is saying, only CIS or CS grads can apply.
Actually my attorney from 2001, made a mistake when he filed ETA 750. He listed education as Bachelors in Computer. So basically the advertisement should have been Bachelors in computer, as such what DOL is asking for. Mirror copy of ETA 750. However my company is saying that Bachelors in Computer is such broad term and does not make sense. That's why they placed the ad with Bachelors in Computer science or information systems. So having said that, what are chances that DOL will reject that advertisement, and make us re do it using Bachelors in Computer like the ETA 750 form is asking. Can we amend the form at this later of the ball game.
The advertisement is like 1000 for 3 days. The company picked up the tab this time, but if it is a mistake then I would have to pay for it. The did not even want to pursue this since they already have PERM and I140 approved for me. Getting this old labor certified for me, I would save a lot of time and be able to file 485 since my date is current. Using PERM priority date, it will take years.
Any thought will be appreciated.
Also, how do I remove him as the contact person for my labor. My company doe not want deal with him anymore.
can they send a letter for Backlog Center in Dallas.
Thanks!

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
An earlier blog post "Silicon Valley Employers Need to Prepare for Surprise USCIS Visits" (http://www.siliconvalleyimmigrationlawyer.com/2009/10/silicon-valley-employers-need.html#more) described the "new normal" of USCIS employees or contractors showing up unexpectedly and inquiring about past visa petitions and foreign national workers. A recently held Department of Homeland Security program, titled, "2009 Government and Employers: Working Together to Ensure a Legal Workforce" sheds more light onto the types of visits being conducted.
Ronald Atkinson, Chief of Staff of USCIS' Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=0353f8e5492ec110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=2af29c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) office, explained the three types of site visits that are currently being conducted:
Risk Assessment Program fraud study. Applicable to any type of benefit program, including family and employment-based visas, this study is part of a joint program between USCIS and ICE (Immigration Customs and Enforcement). Applications and petitions are chosen at random, usually on a post-approval basis, for visits to help in designing profiles of potential fraud.
Targeted site visits. These visits take place where fraud is suspected, and consist of a visit to ask questions. Advance notice, including notice to counsel, is supposed to be provided.
Administrative site visits. These relate to religious worker and H-1B petitions (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html). They generally are conducted by contractors who know nothing of immigration law. Religious worker visits are performed under the regulations for that category. For H-1B site visits, the contractors have been equipped with a set of specific questions, and all employers/beneficiaries should be asked pretty much the same questions, primarily reaching the issues of whether there's really an employer there, whether the employer knows it filed the petition, and whether the beneficiary is doing the work and receiving the wage indicated on the petition. H-1B visits are done on a post-adjudication basis, and are randomly selected. Each employer should receive only one such visit, but may receive different visits for different sites.

Hello,
I got a notice today saying that my H1B withdrawal notice has been sent on Sep9th (today).
My new employer applied LCA yesterday (09.08.2009) for my H1B transfer.
What is my status now? can I transfer H1B to new company?
Is my old H1B revoked?
what is my next step to do to stay as legal immigrant?
Thanks in advance.

I think the idea is that you can choose to make your designs in to actual shirts that you sell… but it's not required as part of the competition.
In the original t-shirt contest, people were required to put their designs on Cafepress so that people could actually buy the shirts (I have two of them). Kirupa took issue with that this time:
My main issue with t-shirt designs is that it requires having someone sign-up on cafepress to be able to add their design to a particular t-shirt.
So, this time, you aren't required to make your shirt purchasable. Hypothetically, you could put it up on Cafepress or another, similar site. I think it'd be cool if everyone did that, but I'm not running the show. :kommie:
