Anything less than 800,000 is good... even a few hundred thousand less :) There's still a lot of work and patience required but a good news is a good news nevertheless.
any news in Good News. Now with 480,000 less applications it even a better NEWS. But I aggree our efforts needs to continue towards reform. I believe even if they only change law regarding Counting Family members in Visa numbers. That will work very well for us.

look to see if you can reduce your monthly mortgage payment by means of "recasting". some mortagages offer this choice, some dont.
Say you are paying a note of 1500 per month, and you would like to pay 1400 per month, then assuming that you have put six months of expense aside in emergnecy funds, pay off your mortgage principal as much as you can. Next, call the lender to tell them that you want to recast the loan. Recasting means figuring out the payment as if your today's mortgage balance is what you would pay on for the rest of the period on your loan.
It may go down by say $50 dollars or sth. But thats the interest you would not be paying to the lender. Which is indeed the savings your will have. $600 / per year.
I am not an expert, just one opinion.
You have not given any specific numbers or your location etc. Hence the above is a quite generic description of what one can do
My boss recently changed and the work environment is not good anymore (never imagined this would happen), I am in a constant pressure and no job security. It's a shocker in a fulltime state job.
We bought a house last year needless to say that the prices have fallen. We are now in a dazed state as we just realised we don't have any savings, whatever we had, we made bad choices - house, 2 cars (They looked good at that time though) and put about 10% on the house.
We were planning on to invest all our savings in the house as we recently paid off our two cars and no other debts. But after reading some posts here on the housing and investment market. I am not sure if I want to put everything in the house, having my job at risk and no GC yet.
Being a novice in fianancial matters, need advice.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.

a letter to INS with marriage certificate to adjudicate both the cases together. By september end INS promptly approved my wife's GC. When I spoke to INS over phone, they mentioned the letter is of no use, since my wife's case is approved.:confused:
Any suggestions how to proceed. Out of job now, moving on to EAD from H1 after 10 years!

one GC for each family (3 or 4) members, instead of treating as multiple GC's.
say for a family of 4 uscis is treating it as 4 GC instead they can treat this as a single GC. which will make many people eligible for GC
From your Keyboard to the Lord's ears!
Sadly I don't think so :)

Does anyone have any insight on this thing called "Last Action Rule"?
Scenario:
1) Visa stamp till Feb 28,2007.
2) Extension of 3 year H1B based on approved I140 starting March 1,2007.
3) International travel, returning to the US on Feb 3.
Now at the port of entry, the officer takes an action of saying your I-94 is valid till Feb 27. Basically this invalidates your previous H approval that starts from March 1. Some "Last Action Rule".
Reference: http://www.murthy.com/news/n_cosapp.html
Has anyone gone through this?
Basically the idea is that the person has to get a new H1B stamp when in India for the extension.
Well the information in the link to Murthy's article that you submitted clearly states the I94 will not invalidate your future approval. so your extension is valid.
I am not sure what your question is?

My 6th year H1B is expiring on April 28, 2008. I applied labor through PERM on October 2, 2007. I got the audit letter on December 3, 07. This audit letter does not state anything about the issue of the audit letter. However, the sentence �The job duties and/ or requirements are beyond those defined for the job by SOC/ O*Net code an Occupation Title provided by the State Workforce Agency� is highlighted in this letter. The letter also request for Business Necessity Letter and Recruitment Report. My case is the EB2 case for a Project Manager position with a minimum of 2 years working experience. A couple of programs and knowledge in the field are also required for this position. At the recruitment times, there are no applicants applied to this position. The company has approximately 16 employees including me.
I�m very confused and not sure what to do because my lawyer refused to answer any question. In my case that the Labor Certification is still pending (under audit) and my H1B is expiring in April, I wonder if I should start taking vacation now or go to work in another country for approximately 6-7 months and come back later to use the rest of my H1B until October 2, 08 to meet 365 days period? After October 2, 08, I can then start filing the H1B Extension for 1 year. Or should I wait until my I-140 approved and come back around October 2, 08 and do the H1B Extension for another 3 years? Or should I stay in US until April, 08 and take vacation until October, 08 and then comeback around October, 08 to file H1B extension? Also, do I still have to be employ full time with my current employer during this whole period? Can the job only be part time? Also, do I have to get pay the whole time from my current US employer during this whole period? Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,
I am sure others might have noticed that 485 processing dates at NSC (for example) have literally crawled from the beginning of the year to now. Here are the processing dates (per USCIS status).
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
12/15/2007 Status - 04/24/2007
01/15/2008 - 07/19/2007
06/15/2008 - 07/28/2007
Thats roughly 9/10 days worth of 485 processing from mid-Jan to mid-Jun 2008. I wonder what the processing date looks like for the mid-July status update (which should probably be out tomorrow).
For one thing - there would be thousands of applications between 07/19 and 07/28 (mine being one of those :D) and the other is that the USCIS doesnt pre-adjudicate. Since the PD has only moved recently, the processing dates didnt move that rapidly

My wife worked as a full time employee and resigned after the delivery from Oct'08. She was paid the sick pay through a third party insurance and these wages are missing in the W-2. I tried contacting her employer and also wrote emails saying I would complain to IRS if they fail to provide a corrected W2. Today is 02/14 and we still didn't receive a new W2 for the sick pay or a corrected W2.
1) What consequences the employer would have to face if they fail to report correct wages on W2?
2) Does IRS is concerned about missing wages that are 1-2K?
3) Do you think I should complain to IRS?
I am planning to lodge an official complaint on Monday 02/16. I suppose it was a deadline date for all employers to provide W2 or a corrected one.
Due diligence
Send a Certified email with receipt /delivery acknowledgment to the employer with your request. Prepare a proper trail of documentation. If the employer does not relent, report the same to IRS after consultation with a tax consultant.

Thanks for your response ...
I am told that my status will expire whenmy latest I-94 expires .. I had been out of the country after i recieved my latest H1B so technically my I-94 will expire on 16th-sep-2007 ...
My question is what will be one's status after filing I485?
For adjustment of status you should be in a Valid H1. If you get your EAD before Setp 16th then you can use this to work and you are safe. If you dont get EAD you are basically out of status. So I suggest get your H1 Renewed Right away using Premium or regular processing.
Again this is my analysis check with your lawyer.

Just curious - Have you heard of a case being rejected just because the salary was higher than the original LC ?? (Assuming job title/description are same or similar). I think it will be almost impossible for them to reject just because is higher!! Govt. cannot dictate the upper limit of salaries (in private sector).
nope, so far I have not come across a single case where this has been an issue (which was one reason I went ahead with the move). However there have been inklings about USCIS possibly taking a tougher position on this in the future.
For instance see:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
Salary Considerations for the New Job
�MurthyDotCom
Attorneys in our firm are frequently asked about the impact of a difference in salary when changing jobs under AC21. We are also asked what "same or similar" really means in order for one to be eligible under AC21 portability. USCIS policy memoranda, particularly the May 12, 2005 Memo referenced above, have been quite favorable on these matters. However, in that same memo, the USCIS stated that the forthcoming AC21 regulations "may take a more restrictive position than this memorandum." Therefore, while issues such as salary differences do not appear to be problematic at present, foreshadowing indicates that this could change when the regulations are released at some future date.
From my research I have found so far that it will be hard for them to put a dollar or percentage figure on the amount the salary can vary. The best they can do is perhaps put it in some range based on prevailing wages. Other than that, salary itself is a very market driven thing. I hope they dont, and I dont think it buys them much. The DOT codes and job-duties description should be what they should look at (or actually they should broaden the allowed job changes considering how long the wait has become now-a-days).
Lets see what happens. Main trouble is like what Murthy mentions in that article a little later: if changes happen, they are retroactive...
nope, so far I have not come across a single case where this has been an issue (which was one reason I went ahead with the move). However there have been inklings about USCIS possibly taking a tougher position on this in the future.
For instance see:

Salary Considerations for the New Job
�MurthyDotCom
Attorneys in our firm are frequently asked about the impact of a difference in salary when changing jobs under AC21. We are also asked what "same or similar" really means in order for one to be eligible under AC21 portability. USCIS policy memoranda, particularly the May 12, 2005 Memo referenced above, have been quite favorable on these matters. However, in that same memo, the USCIS stated that the forthcoming AC21 regulations "may take a more restrictive position than this memorandum." Therefore, while issues such as salary differences do not appear to be problematic at present, foreshadowing indicates that this could change when the regulations are released at some future date.
From my research I have found so far that it will be hard for them to put a dollar or percentage figure on the amount the salary can vary. The best they can do is perhaps put it in some range based on prevailing wages. Other than that, salary itself is a very market driven thing. I hope they dont, and I dont think it buys them much. The DOT codes and job-duties description should be what they should look at (or actually they should broaden the allowed job changes considering how long the wait has become now-a-days).

How about the reverse change of status ? A person currently on H1 visa decides to resign from company & wishes to go on H4 (spouse has H1B extension applied for). What is the time frame in which the H4 has to be filed for .... with respect to resignation .... before resigning or after resigning .... is so within how many days of resigning. How does this person know if he/she is in status as H4 approval might take months .... Will the spouse's H1B extension receipt notice be enough as the approval might take a while.
