I support the idea of rallying in BUSINESS SUITS. We're all an educated bunch of people and EVERY single one of us has a suit or we would not be having jobs today.
Let this rally seperate us from the illegals and be a TRUE "white collar"/"BLACK TIE" event. We are well respected LEGAL immigrants. Let us bring our white suits and ALL business gear with us. Even if that means we carry leather bags, so be it.
Let us come formally dressed with our business gear on.
We may not be able to make it coz we will be in the same boat as Singam, but I do support this idea.
Lets do a realty check. These rallies are more at the college/university level thinking. We need to act a little mature and professional.
My idea would be:
Who ever can work remotely, plan to work on that day in the lawns of Capitol Hill. Only arrangement needed is wifi access. Company logo attire with black ribbons/flags will make a bigger impact.
With no disrespect to illegals as people, our last rally was perceived as an illegal immigrant rally. If the congressman addressing our rally thinks we are illegals, there is no bigger joke than that. Let�s correct our image!!!
(I won't be able to participate, as we are expecting our first child around that time frame)

We all know that the h1b system needs to be fixed.
Before you bash consulting companies or say tier 2 or tier 3 universities, try to look into the bigger picture. There are genuine consulting companies and there are genuine people making $100 per hour + through consulting companies, people study in top univs also join consulting companies. A lot of people come here through a small conssulting company, they later move to Microsot of Google any other client where they are contracted
Remember the IT industry is an industry with high demand, if people are available it is because there is requirement, requirements can be in form of temporary jobs, permanat jobs etcc... A lot of people prefer consulting because they can move between projects and get better exposure and their resume builds - after a while they can be in a commanding position.
It is very much American if you are consulting, a lot of Americans work a independent contractors, working 9 months an year and vacationing 3 months. So there is nothing wromng in it.
So please look at the bigger picture before you hate something or someone. Fulltime jobs are not very steady and - layoffs are common - so please do not assume that a fulltime job is the best option.
Consultants are interviewed by the team before they are hired, just like fulltime employees, so if consultant does not perform well, he is not retained by client.
Agreed. I myself have a MS from a Big 10 school..and I do earn a very decent rate, being on H1 for about 3 years now. And my employer is one of the honest ones(keeps only 20% of the Corp to Corp rate).But I don't think my company even deserves a single dollar.I look for the job, I arrange the interviews and I clear them. My company gets to keep my money only because they have my H1. That said, Its just unbearable to see these desi companies earning money on their consultants back without actually contributing to the American economic growth. They just survive on commission(pardon my language, but like pimps) and forcing people to almost work in bounded labor conditions. There are people who earn decent and have good employers etc., but we all know that that % is very less.
All I am saying is that if this H1B outlocation work is banned, companies will be forced to hire H1B as an employees. (And its very difficult to outsource many jobs, beacuse like any business strategy, outsourcing has its own pitfalls and problems , lots of associated hidden costs and it would have been done already if it was economical to do so), for the companies won't have that luxury of getting qualified manpower without any "Human Resources" responsibility and labor laws sword hanging on their neck. Once this supply chain is cut off, they have to hire H1Bs.Once the H1Bs start getting full time jobs (and trust me, most of them would be better off in terms of quality,stability and earnings), their GCs can be filed and if IV efforts succeed(Cornyn etc.), the GC will be obtained much sooner and then people who want to go for Consulting can go for it and make more money as you said.

I used my AP twice in the last 4 months. Once at Long Beach Port on 12/21/08, and once at SFO on 3/27/09. Both times I went into secondary inspection and took about 20-30 minutes mostly because of others waiting before me.
The officers were nice to me, they ask standard questions like location of my work, what I worked on and how long I was outside the country. I felt that if you have been here legally, have all your papers right it should be no problem.
I have heard of people being denied entry, i think they are rumors. Most DHS officers are polite and after seeing some of the crooks who end up in secondary inspection I can see why they can loose their calm.

I don't think the response is correct. Question 12 only applies to people with unreported taxable income. Question 9 is the more appropriate one. And as per this, all you need to file is the 'delinguent FBAR' along with explanation for late filing.
And IRS will NOT impose penalty for failure to file the FBARs.
can you please clarify what about schedule B, is to be attached now for those old ones?

Hello Folks
Does anybody know what are the wage requirement of EB2?
My cousin is trying to file labor on EB2( Computer Programmer is his position). His wage is
almost equals to Level 3 wage for this position of the state he is working. Would that qualify for EB2. Or should the wage has to be above Level 4?
( DOL has 4 levels of wage in their site)
Or does EB2 has some other wage requirement.
Please share your thoughts.
thx
babu.
Best advise - is to go with your Lawyer's suggested course of action (if you have a good lawyer, that is).
Otherwise, you can find the wage requirements on the DOL web-site.

I agree will all your points except for #4. Why should someone who came to this country with an intention to study on F1 visa get priority over someone who applied for GC ? :confused: It does not make any sense to give priority based on POE date. I think the current priority date concept with the labor filing date is the right one. All USCIS has to do is follow FIFO based on this date.
1. Recapture unused visas identified by USCIS Ombudsman
2. Remove spouse and children from the numerical limit
3. Either remove country wise (diversity) quota or increase it to some respectable limits that adheres to true representation based on population and the country�s immigration quotient.
4. Last of all, all the recaptured numbers should go to the persons based on the very first Port Of Entry date with continuous status. It doesn�t matter whether you came on F1 went to H1 then H4. The very first POE date should rule and people that have been languishing for years should get a reprieve. It�ll only be fair that a person that came on 1999 on whatever category gets a visa first than a late comer in 2005. PD is illogical since many of us had to change jobs and do what not and start afresh and still saw no light at the end of the tunnel.
And what about automatic greencard, say after 8 or 9 or 10 years in H1 status. (#5 of my list..added just now)

The memo is confusing.
If I have H4 and start working on EAD, I lose H4. So even though I am eligible to work, I cannot as I lose my status (status violation) and become deportable. Nonsense. The INA was written with the assumption that any petition will be adjudicated in 6 months. It it was the case, the memo would work. But reality is very different.

Hi Kodak57,
Firstly thanks a lot for posting this information. I heard about filing I-485 ourselves, but, I was not sure how to proceed. However, after reading your information and all other posting on this, I feel like I can do this myself. I may have lots of questions later, but, for now, can you please clarify me on the 'Application type (check one)'.
For employment based principal applicant, I'm assuming that its a first option (a) and for dependents (spose and children) option (b) in the form. Am I correct? please advise.
Please see page 9, part 2 for more info on my question.

House Republicans reject illegal-aliens amnesty bill
By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
September 8, 2006
House Republicans yesterday officially rejected the Senate immigration bill that would grant citizenship rights to some 10 million illegal aliens now in the country.
"We agree that we cannot support the Senate amnesty bill," House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert said. "This Democrat immigration bill wouldn't secure the border. It would erase it."
Mr. Hastert met yesterday with other House leaders and the chairman of several committees to discuss how to proceed with the stalled immigration legislation and emerged saying new border security proposals will be offered next week.
The new initiatives will include more border patrol agents, new fencing and surveillance and stricter enforcement of current laws, which they hope will pass both the House and the Senate before November's elections.
"We will take many of these recommendations and move quickly to pass border security legislation in the next few weeks," Mr. Hastert said. "Congress cannot wait until next year to move on this issue. The American people expect us to tackle this problem and solve it."
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, criticized the decision to abandon "comprehensive immigration reform."
"After a summer of cynical immigration campaign events and years of cutting billions from border security funding, today's announcement has more to do with solving a political problem for Republicans than solving our illegal-immigration problem," he said.
"While we all support more resources for border security, it is abundantly clear that these stop-gap measures are designed to provide cover for their failure to produce comprehensive reform."
House Majority Leader John A. Boehner vowed to complete legislation.
"Republicans will take immediate action to put legislation on the president's desk that fulfills our promise to strengthen our border security by providing more border patrol agents, enhancing enforcement, building more fencing and increasing surveillance," he said.
"Republicans will vote on these reforms before adjournment and work to send them to the president's desk for his signature."

Kindly note: this query is not about FBAR. It is about amending and including NRE interest.
Not sure if this is answered before. I have NRE Account Interest that is currently not TDS. Like Citibank my bank doesn’t send 1099.
as a "resident alien / H1B " From a legal point of view (not the amount of tax point of view)
Is it better to Pay taxes in India and get credit in US.

Please note: Some websites seem to suggest that NRE interest > 1lakhs is taxable in india.
NRE Income Up To Rs 1 Lakh Not Taxable - The Financial Express (http://www.financialexpress.com/news/NRE-Income-Up-To-Rs-1-Lakh-Not-Taxable/114438/)
I am assuming it would be easier to file in india and get exempted for interest below 1lac. Any thoughts ?
>> Is it better to Pay taxes in India and get credit in US

So, it is clear that your EB2 approval is based on Bachelor equivalent + 5yr of progressive experience. This shouldn't be a problem as long as Job requires that and one can prove that they have 5yrs of progressive experience after BS or BS equivalent.;)
In my labor certification (ETA 9089 ) Foregin education equivalent is acceptable with minimum five years of work experience.At the time of labor filling I had @ 10 years of progressive experience.

She Only Said This Is The Only Info Any Officers Will Provide.
what phone number did you call? Did you get her name/id? Provide some detailed info so some of us can call independently and verify your story.
This is going to raise another big PR stink for USCIS if they go back on their words. A million flowers will bloom again (in Mr Gonzalez's office)
