I wonder the reasons for Switzerland to be #1. Its a small country with minimal immigration and not much resources. Key revenue might be from Tourism. They are not known for scientific work etc.
... Maybe swiss bank accounts are key to it ! ;)
One big plus for Switzerland: their universities and advancement in technology.
Both ETH and EPFL in switzerland are THE TOP institutes in Europe for advanced technical degrees. Also, in the past 3-4 years, they have undertaken a huge initiative to invite the creme de la creme from around the world to switzerland, and looks like that is also paying off. Every professor/scientist/PhD I know would gladly accept a chance to go there!
So, Im not surprised that they are number 1. They strategized.. and they got exactly where they were trying to get! Whereas here, they got stuck mixing up illegals and skilled people, addressing fencing issues instead of labor backlogs, etc etc...and lost sight of a bigger, more valuable goal.
cheers.

You know what, you win I loose. Keep paying for your GC out of your pocket.
7.5K and counting. :pNobody wins. I would be glad if my company pays for it. Anyway it's good for me that I got this opportunity at least. And you are right, it's still counting. I'm renewing EAD every 9 months for 3 of us - 180 x 3 =540

Friends I think a great injustice is being done to NSC filers , their applications are taking months for ead and ap, while TSC filers are getting ead adn AP as soon as they get receipt, do you think this will improve for NSC in future, at this time looks like august NSC filers will haveto wait till the end of the year for EAD,ap, which is sad.
I would not mind getting EAD few weeks late and prefered to have reciept notice recieved instead. I filed Jul 2nd at TSC and no news yet about Reciept, CC, EAD, AP. Most July 2 filer at NSC got their reciepts 2 weeks ago.
There may be 1% chance of 485 being rejected and that is pretty scary. Easly NSC filers can atleast put their mind at rest for 485 acceptance.

So you apply about 4 months in advance? Are you then not losing about 3 months of your previous validity due to this practice?
not sure what you mean.
If your new validity date starts before the current one expires then yes you might lose the time depending on how fast your EAD was approved.
In my experience there has been no consistency in the issuance of the validity date in the past. I have received cards where the new validity date has been the day after my current EAD expired thereby me not losing any time and there have been times when I have lost time due to new validity date being prior to my current one expiring.
As per USCIS rules you can apply for renewal 120 days before your current one expires and not before that. Remember you can also apply for renewal a day before or even after expiry, its just that you cannot work as long as you do not have a valid EAD(or other work permit like H1B, L1 etc).
So as long as you are not at the risk of losing your job due to no EAD in hand I guess you can apply anytime once your 120 day window kicks in.
PS:Above is just my understanding of the system and should not be taken as legal advise. For any clarifications please consult your attorney.

Today I received RFE for my H1 Extension.
I received only one RFE which is obtaining contract documents from the chain .
Here is my situation.
I work for Client A for whom Company B does the project work. I was contracted through Company C who is the prime vendor for Company B.
Here is the chain.. My Company --> Company C --> Company B --> Client A.
RFE states that my company need to provide contract documents within the entire chain which is highly unlikely they can obtain.
Company B and Company C can only provide letters to affirm that that I work for Client A. Will this be enough or does it need to be only a Contract document?
Below are my questions
==================
1.) My company says that they have PO from Company C which provides details about the entire chain. Will this be enough to answer the RFE?
2.) Does withdrawing H1 extension cause any problems ? I can invoke EAD
3.)Also Company B is willing to take me fulltime, so essentially if I abaondon H1 extension and join Company B , will this help or cause any more problems?
Thanks and appreciate your response.

Search immigration.com ("i-140 denied, urgent help please"). I went thru this, attorney was so-so, not experienced in handling cases like this as he is a small firm. So I went to one of the BIG firms and got it MTR'd and cleared in 3 weeks. I spent 3K, but never thought about it before or after.
While you work on backup options, dont just let go the current status that you got in 4-6 yrs.
The new attorney could easily make up for the pay.

The second bill (HR 5634) says that people with PhD from US universities are cap-exempt from EB. So it means some quota will be freed up from EB1 and also from Eb2-NIW.

I mean... this is nonsense. You are employing 50K+ people and you behave so irresponsibly. This guy should be hanged.
But in India nothing happens, things go in court forever and government helps them once they get the money they want. I am sure this guy has diverted all that money internally to his son's companies or swiss bank.
How can a IT company with so many projects and clients can not have cash in hand to pay the employees. So unbelievable.
PWC is again showing their lack of integrity. It looks like for Fraud it does not depend whether it is Indian, MNC, big, small, government, private, reputation...It's just greed. Remember Enron, walstreet guy who scammed billions, Illinois governer, chinese milk products...
still i can not believe how much more he want even after owning such a big company... Is he mad?

L1 A are managerial positions. they can apply in EB1 through employer. Hence it is possible to get GC in Green Cards.What he is saying is true.
L1 A are managerial positions
L1 B are like H1B except they worked for their parent company for a period of 1 year or more out of US
L2 's get EAD within 8-12 weeks and they can start working.
But unless he uses GC and get out of that company, he wont be earning near to minimum H1 B wages.
Satyam pays L1B only 41K. that's pathetic. Same with Wipro, Infosys, TCS , they are misers for L1 and H1B for employees.

The FBI name check is not a side problem that once we finish fighting other problems, let's come back and pick up another problem. This is one of the major obstacles in the GC and Citizenship process which unfortunately is not transparent and there is no data available to tell you when you will pass this obstacle. If the attitude of some of the members in this organization is the delay in FBI name check is not going to happen to them and it is only random and a side problem, think again and watch out for what will be coming your way. By no means, this is not a side problem, this is one of those hidden obstacles that you don't know it is in your way once you hit it...and once you hit it, you are stuck. There is no congressman, senator or individual to help you. If we are going to be united and make the GC process transparent, we should not hand pick some of the problems that we want to fight today and come back to other problems later. You are going to soon realize how gigantic the delay with FBI name check is.
Franklin: Just to clarify, the name check effort is a private effort of Logiclife, who is one of the moderators.
Sroym: Name check not being on IV's official agenda has nothing to do with member nationalities. It is a case of greatest good for the greatest number. 200,000 people - 20% of all the green cards issued last year - are in name check. Since EB immigrants are about 20% of the total green cards, only about 40K EB immigrants are in name check. Compare that with the 250K people stuck in retrogression and 200K people in the Labor cert backlog centers.
Sroym, I understand you posted in good faith, but PM a moderator first, please, to get the facts.

Guys,
The reality is that we are just being played upon by the companies and the US govt regarding green cards. Employers know that we are not going to budge from our jobs to maintain the coveted priority date and the government is in no big hurry to reform the system as they can collect taxes from us without being accountable to us.
I think Democrats are also going to drag the immigration issue as seen by the article below :
http://www.suntimes.com/news/otherviews/151357,CST-EDT-Perez28.article
I do not mean to doubt IV, but the writing is on the wall that our lobbying efforts are not going to go too far.
For all of you single people out there, the only fastest option is to marry a US girl/guy. For all those who are married, the choices are simple, forget the American dream and adopt a Canadian or Australian dream or endure the uncertainty of a green card application.
I have reached the conclusion that I cannot bear this uncertainty any more and therefore, I am pursuing other options. Ciao...Good luck to all those waiting for a GC!
I am unsure whether things will be all rosy once you explore the other attractive options. Think of the time you have already invested here in the US. Will you give up without a fight?

My 485 was apporved in July 2010 and have not recieved the card yet. I have contacted with couple of Service Request for non-delivery of permanent cards. First reply from USCIS was that my case was waiting for finger printing information from my local USICS was backlogged for appointments. So, I have told to wait for 60 days for either FP notice or physical green card. After 60 days, I have called them and another service request was created and the reply was completely irrelavant as they says my address was updated for my query about non-delivery of GC.
Is there any other escalation request that I can made for deliveriy the GC or the FP notice? whenever I called the USICS are creating the SR and have to wait for answers like above.
I have recieved the 485 approval notices (for both of us) on July itself but waiting for cards now. Are anyone with the same boat ? Or Is the unusual case?
Thanks

I had sent an email to rags months before about this friend. He decided to become an expat and move to India while his GC still languishes in the labor stage. He is an engineering manager who works for one of the big oil service companies (Think of word association with the Vice President). He would have been invaluable to this country as the country tries to become more self-reliant in the energy sector. Instead, he now lives in India and services oil wells in Russia. How is that for loss of competitiveness (loss of his service as well as his tax money to other countries)!

I really empathize with your frustration! In fact, I'm also in the same boat.
My EAD renewal was filed on May 18th, and the RFE was issued on June 25th. I've not received the RFE yet, and I was told to wait for 15 days. Also, the CS Rep told me that the 90 day clock stops after the RFE was issued.
Not knowing the reason for the RFE is causing too much stress than the actual wait. At this point, I've no other choice than waiting. My EAD and Driver's License expires on Aug 10th.
This is the reason why I tried to maintain H1B. On H1, at least you can work if you have a renewal receipt. Unfortunately, I lost that status last year when I was laid off during recession.
Please check your PM.
Good luck to you.
Hi,
I self e-filed my EAD application and the Receipt date is 6/7/10. They called for Biometrics which is done.
I got an email saying that they have sent a RFE. Waited for 10 days, still no signs of RFE. When I called USCIS, they asked me to wait for 15 days. When I called after 15 days, they created a Service Request to re-mail the RFE. Now they say, I have to wait for 45 days. When I asked them if they will extend my deadline to reply to the RFE, she said she doesn't know.
Has anyone been in this situation ?
What kind of RFE will they send for an EAD extension.
I sent my 485 receipt and a copy of my EAD when I e-filed.
How many days do they usually give to respond to the RFE ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
