It is not true that all the H1bs are creating jobs. For one example I worked in a big garment company and they laid off hundreds of people(around 800) 4 years back and did offshoring 90% with 10% H1b and L1 to Infosys. This would have created less than 10 new admin jobs for setting up office here but it displaced 800 jobs plus all the new projects(jobs) go to Infosys and US government lost millions in taxes for a private company to save a few million dollars. But if a H1b is a real innovator or investor then he could create scores of new jobs but those guys are very less. They should be identified and rewarded by faster GC process.
But real intention of H1b when it was created was to fill shortage of skills but not for competing with citizens in rate. If the real intention is to compete globally then that needs to be revealed while lobbying with Senators. There is nothing wrong with immigrants or H1b persons. Most abuses are done and enouraged by employers. Corporations prefers a person always to be in H1b so they want more H1b quota and less gc so that they can exploit people.
Basically H1b numbers and offshoring needs to be increased when demand is high(Really it was needed on 1999 and 2000) and it needs to be decreased when demand is low. Also today also there is shortage of skills in a few areas. System should handle those also.
Hunter, this is the first sensible post from you. Now you agree that abusers of this H1 visa system are corporations not the immigrants on their own. So far you were busy bashing immigrants.
Also if US is a free market and capitalist society, why should corporates employ "whoever" is locally available. Its a private money afterall. Shouldent it be upto them to decide how to spend? Also most US corps, have local presence and as for taking a tax break, I hope companies did not promise to create "ALL" jobs in US. Majority of local jobs go to US citizens. They still create thousands of local jobs and pay H1 visa fees part of which goes to train american workforce. If the wages were equal, its more expensive for a company to hire H1 worker.

I guess, we need to hire, one octopus for every months' prediction. That will be cheaper, instead of we put our brain in predictions.
I disagree. Octopus will cost money but using the brain costs nothing. Cheers. :)

Apparently they want everybody to forget about this ASAP, let alone attract any further interest or god forbid inquiries. I don't know who in the world can still beleive that they are a "service" and we are "customers".

One more thing to not miss it to request "dumping of the 50,000 diversity visas done by lottery". Why the hell should that many visas be thrown away like the way its done now. If looked thru the lens, this category makes no sense atall.

hi,
My lawyer filed for my EAD in April 2005. I have been working on H1 all the time and i was not aware that he filed for my EAD.
HE filed for my AP at the same time and i got it. When i asked him about EAD , he said its not required and that he did not file it.
Yesterday he mailed me a set of copies in which i found receipt notice for EAD.I checked the status and it says that my case is pending since April 2005.
There was no request for any proof or anything. It just says we mailed you notice of action and the case is pending.
I need EAD now. What should i do?
I called the USCIS and they said that it is out of processing time and filed a service request.
All my friends who filed their I-485 recently got their Biometrics notice and i didn't get any. Whats wrong with my case?
I am confused , what am i supposed to do?
Appreciate your suggestion

I wish it should be current or atleast near to current.
Absolutely, the chances for movement to June 2007 is bright but not in May. One of the old models did predict August 2007 by Sep 2011. And then it was noticed that EB3 porting was not properly accounted for in the equation (only 150 per month was accounted). Thereafter, it was stated that Eb3 -> 2 porting is at least 500/m (which I thought was quite a bit). This burden in the model dragged Aug'07 predicted movement date to Nov'06. Now that 12000 EB1 spillover is being claimed, this would account for and balance even 1000/m Eb3->2 porting. Therefore an August 2007 PD by Sep'11 is a good possibility. But the visa bulletin has it's own brains.

Following-up ----------------------------------------are used. However, a rapid advance could spur a surge in demand that could impact the cut-off dates later in the year. The May Visa Bulletin, --------------of the year.
Is that mean they are going to move the PDs much further and again move back during the end of the year!!
So isn't this implying that the PDs will advance very very further than the available visa numbers!!!!!!!!!!

One way to end his mis-information is to make a list of the companies who advertise on his show. After that we need to communicate with these companies about the lies he spews on his show and also threaten to boycott all their products, if they continue to sponsor his show.
Remember, I can't make a difference, you can't make a difference. But both of us can certainly make a difference.

Hi guys,
I sent in the four letters 2 weeks ago and this week I got a mail from TEXAS Service Center. They returned my letter in original and they also wrote a big one page letter.
I don't have it with me right now but in it, it was mentioned that "Please call us at our inquiry center if you have any inquires or you can check your status online as well as the recent processing times.
Don't know if others are also receiving the same returned mail but I wanted to let you guys know this as an FYI.
It does not seem like the letter reached the person to whom it was directed to.

Senate Approves Levin Amendment to Improve Oversight of FBI Background Checks
WASHINGTON � The Senate has approved an amendment by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., to improve oversight of the FBI National Name Check Program, which faces a substantial backlog. The program is used to run background checks on people applying for immigration benefits or seeking employment with the U.S. government, among many other purposes. Levin�s provision, which was included as an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) Fiscal Year 2008 Appropriations Bill, would require the FBI to report to Congress every year regarding progress made in improving the FBI�s system of processing background checks and automating investigative files.
�The background check program�s enormous backlog poses an unacceptable burden on people whose lives are on hold, and it also leads to a national security risk,� Levin said. �Approximately 31,000 cases have been pending for at least 33 months. If these individuals are a security threat, we must know that sooner rather than later.�
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Ombudsman�s 2007 Annual Report, there were 329,160 name check cases pending in May 2007, which is and increase of 93,358 over the previous year. Many immigrants who are applying for adjustment of status to legal permanent resident, naturalization, asylum, or a waiver end up waiting for months or years for the completion of the name check process.
In 2003, Robert J. Garrity, Jr., then Acting Assistant Director of the Records Management Division of the FBI stated before the House Committee on Government Reform that, �[t]he name check delays have significant consequences to FBI customers and stakeholders. The delays impede hiring or clearing skilled workers; completing government contracts; student enrollment, and�clearing requested visas for business visits to the United States. More importantly than all of the foregoing, these processing delays can also diminish counterterrorism effectiveness.�

Do not think this to discourage or anything like that...
Guys .. Pls stop dreaming.. you do not have any idea what you are talking about..
Guys in this thread may be newcomers to the game..
I was here since 1998... and cud not stop surprised to see the ideas in this thread..veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryy yyyyyyyy farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from reality.
Better to wor for admin things like visa recapture, some admin things within INS w/o any legislative action.
Do you guys have any idea that it needs legislative approval for things you are dreaming of...
It means it shd win in 100 members senate and in 500+ members house.
As Pappu suggested it is better to get more publicity, funds and then work for few admin things first(Gives a big relief) ...
But guys, what you are thinking is far beyond the dream itself.
I guess Pappu is the only guy active in Core now...
However let us concentrate as Core suggested, as they know the realities/pains involved.
Pappu, any core members active other than yourself, because i did not see a core member other than you fr more than a year...

Can someone please post the steps to open an SR and get an Infopass? I may have a biometrics appointment coming up soon. Can they help with application status questions?
TIA
Biometrics has no questions to answer. Just follow their instructions at the center.
To create SR,
Call the toll free number and select some options for you to reach a live representative.
Tell them that you are waiting for a very long time and needs update.
You need to have your receipt notice with you. And your wife too (matters only if you are married, just for the sake of it, do not bring in anyone else's wife...just kidding)
If your wife is not with you, they will create the SR for her. Hence suggested. Take down the name of Rep and the confirmation number.
That's it.

If you look at form I-9, it says within a highlighted box that it is "illegal" to discriminate based on the kind of work authorization document a person has.
www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf On the list of acceptable documents, I think it will be DL from column B and EAD #7 in column C, page 4.

kuhelica2000/sledge_hammer,
There is no similarity between example you are giving and what Punjabi is in ..
Punjabi is not returning it to actual seller but it is returning it to Bank which is not a seller of that house .
morally i do not think this is right. Financially also I think people should avoid it if they are planning to stay in USA, because they might end up paying more in long run.
Punjabi,
This is directly not going to impact your I485, indirectly it might if you get pink slip in your new job and then you try to get another job but they reject it because of foreclosure while doing background check. And if you remain unemployed for long time and USCIS rejecting I485 application.
Also you might end up paying more in future instead of saving anything out of this entire foreclosure ..
I got your point and I difffer with that. Your point is-only defective items should be returned and I am saying it doesn't need to be defective. As long as you are not completely satisfied you should be able to return it and price is an element in customer satisfaction. That's why stores do price match so you don't need to return their merchandise. Stores that don't do price match deserve their goods to be returned.
Also, I didn't put words in your mouth. "Returning used merchandise is a fraud" - these words came out of your own mouth. Check your own post.
