I guess it depends on how powerful and influential the congressmen are and whether they are on the immigration or finance committee :)
Caliguy,
why does congressman/senatorial inquiry works for some and not for some. What can we do differently. I sent out a "Thanks...but no thanks" email back to Congressman's office.

Friends,
Any advice on above post.
Thanks.
This is how it should be done...
- request USCIS to port your PD from already approved I-140 from past employer
USCIS may or may not do it for you
- if not apply for I-485 using Category of 2nd (should be EB2) and PD from 1st one. You need to attach both of these with I-485 application and of course a covering letter stating what you are doing.
Here is the extract from the law -
QUOTE
(3) Priority Date Based on Earlier Petition.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification.

OK here is the deal--this is a capitalistic economy and every action is ultimately based on demands. Requirements to grant GC to H1b worker is not a pressing issue to this economy at present, however, creating a temp worker program/Z visas is an urgent issue which catches more attention. The farm hands, construction workers, meat / fish industry workers are in equal or even more demand these days simply because of the fact that they work for far less money and more efficiently than an avg american counterpart. These industries are strugling to survive and depend on ilegals a lot. Reg legal immig--there is no economic boom to suddenly focus the atention on legal immig of high skilled people. The economy is in a very slow pace and most of the major industries (software/biotech/chemical etc) are not in a hiring spree to make them really cry out for H1b worker. Having said all this, the farmers / construction workers etc would have preffered a status quo on this issue because once the bill is enacted-- 1) the worker will have more right and will therefore demand more 2) The workers availability will be limited given that only 200K are allowed per year. 3) Ilegals will still be there, however, under new rules hiring them will be almost suicidal given the strict penalties. All these will add up to another economic tragedy.

The elimination of NC delays will reflect positively on many pending applications with earlier PDs.
One other such positive result can come by capturing lost Visa numbers, something that can potentially happen through the letter campaign. Let us hope it goes as planned.
Good point, new folks please note, one of the main reliefs IV is campaigning for with the letter effort is the release of the unused visa numbers. When you have time, please gather a few more letters signed by friends and colleagues. We need to push for this campaign to truly have an effect. Now is our chance!! :) Thanks!

"control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should the Senate Judiciary Committee's H1-B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view. "
Another example, of an excellent quality "formatted letter" . Notice how the politician is ,while being non-involved, looking sympathetic to your issues. Notice the open ending, suggesting non-committed view "will consider your views". This leaves room to navigate the press. Not only this, the brilliance of this letter lies in, easily blaming the other party, for having failed you.
A bill can be intiated by any member, irrespective of the party. If they are committed to your cause, it only takes a few moments to introduce a bill.
I got this Reply from Zoe Lofgren, offcourse this reply was in December 2006 when Republicans were controlling the Congress.
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate the time you took to explain the impact of the H-1B visa cap and the "green card" backlog on U.S. employers.
I understand well that the success of U.S. companies depends on highly educated and talented U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.
What we need is thoughtful reform that supports the American economy and allows American companies the benefit of the "best and brightest" from around the world.
As you know, the Republicans now lead in the House of Representatives, Senate and White House. As such, Republicans control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should the Senate Judiciary Committee's H1-B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view.

24.�Moonlighting� Under EADs
AILA requests clarification on whether an H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant present in the United States under a valid petition and who moonlights pursuant to an EAD still maintains his H-1B or L-1 status. It is AILA�s belief that an H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant who maintains employment with his or her petitioner and �moonlights� with a different employer on the basis of an approved EAD continues to maintain his or her underlying nonimmigrant status. Please see the attached Addendum III for AILA�s arguments in support of this position.
Response: We appreciate your request and will take this matter under advisement.
ADDENDUM III �Moonlighting� Under EADs
For many years there has been uncertainty concerning maintenance of status by H-1B and L-1 nonimmigrants with pending applications for adjustment of status who �moonlight� pursuant to an EAD. Some of the confusion in this area is due in part a legacy INS memorandum issued in 1997 in which the Service stated that �after receiving the EAD, the alien may work for any employer desired and is not subject to E, H, or L restrictions. However, such an alien would lose his or her E-1, E-2, H-1B, or L-1 nonimmigrant status by working in open-market employment.�21
AILA believes the language emphasized above merely signals that one would lose his underlying nonimmigrant status by changing employers, rather than by adding one. It is AILA�s belief that an alien who adds an employer does not lose his underlying nonimmigrant status merely by working pursuant to an EAD, which is authorized employment under 8 C.F.R. � 274a.12(c)(9) and INA � 245(c)(8).
The 1997 legacy INS memorandum was issued before the rules were changed in 1999 to permit H-1B and L-1 nonimmigrants to be admitted to the United States pursuant to a nonimmigrant visa or advance parole, and to be employed either pursuant to an approved EAD, or a valid nonimmigrant petition approval.
In guidance issued by legacy INS after the 1999 rule change, the Service stated the following:
However, an H-1 or L-1 nonimmigrant will violate his/her nonimmigrant status is s/he uses the EAD to leave the employer listed on the approved I-129 petition and engage in employment for a separate employer.22 (Emphasis in original).
AILA believes that a nonimmigrant who �moonlights� pursuant to an EAD has not �left� his or her employer, and thus is still maintaining proper status. AILA requests USCIS to confirm that, in the case of an H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant, present in the United States under a valid petition in either classification, who moonlights pursuant to an EAD, still maintains his H-1B or L-1 status.

Such a loss of talent and skill should be pointed out publicly by the employers and research institutions, rather than us. They primarily will stand to gain more, then this great country and last we mortals. What do you say?
Employers are not going to have a holistic view: all they would know is what is happening with their workforce. It is upto us to gather the big picture and impress upon Congress the widespread nature of the problem. From the prespective of an individual employer, a turnover of a few people every year (because of backlogs) does not seem too bad. But if a significant fraction of employers are facing the same situation then the problem is much more serious.

Piyush,
Your dependents are "in status" as their I485 pending. donot worry about it. You will receive your card within 3-4 days.
Right now my parents in India are trying to seek help from local authority so as to say the ADM office - to get the certificate. I dont know how much this will work.........I will keep everyone posted.

There are two different things. (i) Intention to commit immigration fraud by mis-representing facts; (ii) Intention to immigrate.
By returning from the US after your trip, you have proved (ii) to be false (i.e., you did not have intention to immigrate at least at that time). However, that evidence does not prove (i) to be false.
Yes, it is a requirement for issuing F-1.
Good question, and I do not know the answer. What you say may be true. Please consult a qualified attorney (or ask your brother to consult one).
Yes. The IO should have access to all prior and pending immigration related activities associated with you.
It should not affect your I-130, but again, I am not a lawyer and you seem to need reliable answers (i.e., you need to consult a lawyer).
Yes, H1-B is dual-intent. I.e., you do not need to prove non-immigration intent for getting an H1-B stamp.
I am not familiar about I-130 that much. If I-130 is similar to I-140, then it is okay to leave US while it is pending. However, if you file I-485, then you must have Advanced Parole before leaving US. Again, a question for a lawyer.
Thank you for your response raysaikat! I really appreciate your time and patience. One more question. Will it be "ok" in the eyes of USCIS if I don't go back home after my education process is over but apply for H1B visa instead?

keep records of all the facts. create a file to gather all the facts to demonstrate that the job was eliminated due to the downturn of the business. you need to have good faith intentions to join the sponsoring employer. if you have those and then still couldnt work for that employer due to the things beyond your control, then there is nothing anybody can do about it. so enjoy your days and dont worry about the future. just be prepared with necessary documentation that you need to do for the citizenship...
check with a good lawyer as i am not one. this is a personal opinion.
Hi everyone, I have been approved on 9/6/7.
only 92 days after AOS filing.
My sponsor, I did work with them from 2002-2007. They agree to file i-485 in the hopes economy would get better. However house builders are doing very bad now and they cannot take me back after approval.
The question is, does this spoiled my chances for citizenship?

Firstly, i would like to thank you for replying to my question. Please find the below email sent by my lawyer today:
As per our conversation, attached are the two lists that you can review.
Starting from November 1st *Onet has changed the positions for software professionals, please find information below according to *Onet http://online.onetcenter.org/
There are no EB2 positions available for the Software professionals, only EB3 positions are available. However as we discussed earlier if the company has a business necessity and are able to produce the documents for the business necessity you can file the case under EB2, which is still beyond the requirement according to Labor Department.
Thanks for sharing this info, you mentioned two lists? where is the second one?
One thing is clear, this is going to affect future petitions, any idea on the approved/existing cases?

What you are advising her/him to do is lie to USCIS that he/she is sick when she is not. This is on the same lines as doing what those guys behind bars did, brining people on H-1B from India to the US without actually having a job for them.
Again, its people like you that is giving genuine legal immigrants a bad name, and putting us all (including yourself) in the LONG immigration queue!
I see that you have written letters and participated in other campaigns. None of those will materialize if you're teaching others to missuse the H-1B system. How hard is it for you to understand that these are the kinds of loopholes because of which we are stuck with no visa numbers?
Get a letter from your employer saying they are granting you a personal unpaid vacation as per your request(which can be done using a pre-dated letter to them). Make sure you are getting your medical coverage from them(if you have it through them). Provide that and an explanation that you are taking personal time off due to health etc/stress. Hopefully that flies with the USCIS.
good luck
