Sometimes, there are no words to describe someone's insensitivity. You just have to let them express it themselves. So, I give you the words of Reprsentative Steve King (R. Iowa), explaiing why TPS for Haitians is not necessary:
Illegal immigrants from Haiti have no reason to fear deportation, but if they
are deported, Haiti is in great need of relief workers and many of them could be
a big help to their fellow Haitians.
Rep. King's statement is reminiscent of Scrooge's statement from "The Christmas Carol:"
First Collector: At this festive time of year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute.
Ebenezer: Are there no prisons?
First Collector: Plenty of prisons.
Ebenezer: And the union workhouses - are they still in operation?
First Collector: They are. I wish I could say they were not.
Ebenezer: Oh, from what you said at first I was afraid that something had happened to stop them in their useful course. I'm very glad to hear it.
Congratulations Representative King. You have reached the level of Ebenezer Scrooge in your feelings for suffering immigrants. I am sure you are proud of yourself.

Should the job title for PERM labor filing be in Job Zone 5 to qualify under EB2 category? Or could one apply in Job Zone 4 and still qualify for a EB2? Also, does having an MBA, exempt a person from EB quota under any of the proposed bills like STEM, SKIL, PACE, TALENT or should it have to be an MS in Engineering.
A quick response would be greatly appreciated.

We are happy and proud to anounce that we are a 3000+ members family now. Kudos to the all the members for the hard work and perseverance. We are happy with what we have achieved so far and are confident & determined to do our best in the future. I want to quote Sunil on this
'I can sooo clearly remember when we just got started off, and we had only couple threads on our forums. We had only 6-8 members.
We were posting stuff on the forums just to get some content out there so people can see some activity. Hard to believe we have close to 600 threads now.
This is something everyone should be proud of'

I'm a July 2007 filer going to file for my EAD for the first time. Since I'm currently on H1B, how should I answer this question
I'm applying for:
a) Permission to accept employment
b) Replacement
c) Renewal of my permission to accept employment
I think I need to go with option "c" since moving from H1B to EAD would qualify for a "c" response
Please advise.....
Thanks
The option "a" will be used, for "c" you need previous EAD. Refer to http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18737, which addresses several issues.

Same thing happened with me - My labor was approved from Phily BEC on Mar 16th 07 and my company kept saying that didn't receive anything till Apr 16th 07...
Then i was impatient and called Phily BEC and they were very nice to explain me that it can take upto 1.5 months to 2 months for my company to receive via Lawyer. In fact it may take 1 month for Phily BEC to mail - he explained.
Eventually my company received the Labor papers on May 7th 07....
Hope this story helps.

How long on average does it take to get labor approval into my lawyers' hands from BEC once it is approved (certified status shown on the BEC website).

H-1B visas are work visas that allow foreign nationals to temporarily work in the United States for a U.S. employer. A U.S. employer may petition a foreign national under the H-1B classification which specifically applies to individuals in a “specialty occupation." A specialty occupation has three requirements. First, an individual must have a bachelor’s degree or higher degree or its equivalent for the particular position. Second, the degree must be common in the industry among similar organizations. Third, the employer must normally require a degree or equivalent; or the nature of the specific duties is so specialized and complex that knowledge required to perform the duties is usually associated with attainment of the degree.
Individuals with H-1B visas are allowed to work in the United States for up to six years, but visas are granted in three-year increments. In some cases, the H-1B visas may be extended for more than six years. If the individual is in the United States, a change of status to an H-1B is filed in the United States. If the individual is outside the United States, upon approval of the petition, the individual must apply for an H-1B visa at the U.S. consulate. There are only 65,000 H-1B visas issued per year.
The beginning of the fiscal year for 2010 is October 1, 2009. Employers may begin filing their petitions six months prior to the start date of employment but the individuals cannot start their jobs until October 1.
It is vital for those individuals wishing to work in the United States to begin preparing their H-1B paperwork before the cap is reached. As of August 7, 2009, approximately 44,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been received by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and counted towards the cap. Please call us at 214-999-9999 if you would like to begin the H-1B process. The H-1B cap-subject count is available at the USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov).

My labour was filed for a software engineer position (java, udb, etc) 3 years ago. Over that time, my role has changed to a project manager. Infact I don't do any coding anymore. If I invoke AC21 after 180 days, can I switch to a Project Manager position?
thanks,
These are two different skills, unless you can manage to have job description of your new job to be the same as in LC. Or you can leave it the way it is, provided your employer intends to hire you as a software engineer upon approval of LC, and you intend to accept it. In the meantime, do whatever you want - project management or anything unrelated.

Assuming you meet the requirements for E visa status as an employee and not an owner of the company, this is a viable strategy.

I have one question?
What if my employer cancels I140 and I don't have any other job on my hand? This can be a possibility for me in near future. I am searching for a new job and my employer is going to cancel I140.
Is it good to wait for any RFE or denial and if it occurs, just sending them new EVL of any consulting firm (with or without project) will help?
Thanks in advance.

Is it true that labor approval has a six months expiration date on it after which it'll expire. My lawyer has communicated this to me.

I got my first H1-B approval in 2008. I am originally from Mumbai and I have always got my previous visa stamps from the Mumbai consulate.
I paid my visa fees at an HDFC branch in Mumbai in the hope of getting an interview appointment in Mumbai this month. I am flying to India next week and I still do not see any open dates in Mumbai for the month of December. For some reason the VFS webpage displays open dates only at Chennai and Calcutta.
So the question... is it possible for me to visit the consulate in Chennai to get a visa stamp? Do I have to explain why I chose to come to Chennai instead of applying in Mumbai? Are there any other problems for people who choose a different consular district?
A quick survey on the US Consulate General - Chennai website only mentions to select the *most convenient* consular office. Right now I have at least one perfectly valid reason on why I should be granted an interview in Chennai.

HI,
I am on F-1 visa since Jan 2007. and got started my OPT in August 2009. I have on campus income through out the year in 2009. so how do I file the taxes, n which forms. for tax return 2009.
also I got married to a F-1 student in Jan 2009. She is also having her OPT started in August 2009. She has income only on OPT (from Aug to Dec 2009) so which forms she should also file.
my wife did paid her college fee in Jan 2009. and we have paid the rent through checks on leased apt.
So can she/we ask for deduction of any kind?
also which status we have to fill in. "Married filing jointly/separately".
please reply as soon as possible.
Suggesion to file 'Married filing jointly'.
If both of you having 1098 forms from school you can file for Hope-credit (each gets $2500 credit, thats huge amount :) ). You cannot show the Apt. on tax form.

Mmm.. here is a wrinkle scenario.. though it does not technically belong here...
I was overseas for a year (posted to another branch of the company, in another country, not my country of origin, for a year), just returned to US.
Would I be considered as "in US" all the time? And would I be considered to be "in US" for the time I was posted abroad?
The reason I'm asking is that given the way this is going with this legislation if if goes through, it might be better to be an "illegal" rather than legal. I see Zero talk about people in our situation (legal nomads).
Let us get to the bottom line.. is this legislation strategically really good for us? Is a "sneak" legislation better for us than a blanket amnesty which equates an illegal hedge pruner to a legal high skilled worker and makes no distinction?
Does it make more sense for us to have this legislation scuttled than face the prospect of seeing your friendly neighbourhood illegal plumber get on the gravy train while you wait and wait? (People like me would be waiting anyway even without this legislation)
I would really appreciate a strategic FAQ: What are we really fighting for here.. what are the likely compromises on the way..

Not been following the dates these days. Would be nice to have this info..
1) How much time does it take for the EAD application to get processed (Texas Service center) for new EAD (not an extn)?
2) How much time does it take for the AP extension to get processed (TSC) if I were to apply for an extension of my old AP today?
Thanks all for your inputs.
I would anticipate EAD to be processed in max of 3 months and AP in 2 months.
Would also add a buffer of 2 weeks (just in case).

Hi, My H1B on passport is expiring in mid Jan 2008. Similarly, I-94 is also expiring same time. I applied AOS in last week of July and hoping that I will get EAD by Dec but if it does not come by then, what are my options ? If I apply H1 in first week of Jan , would that be okay as I will have expired H1B stamp and I-94 in my passport. Please advise.
