Dear IV members,
We have a very big media opportunity to have our voices heard. A high profile reporter is writing a story with a slighly different angle by covering the immigration plight of our muslim members.
IV does not ask or maintain data on religion/faith/ethinicity of our members and we do not differentiate members based on such criterias.
However it is a need of this reporter and we wish to help in getting this story out in a major newspaper with immigration issues we are fighting for.
If you have a compelling story and you are a muslim IV member, please contact me or Salil (raydhan@immigrationvoice.org) from IV core ASAP with your contact and a brief detail about your plight.
Pappu, In one of the midwest calls i attended there was a member from Pakistan who had a Sorry story to tell. I dont remember his name. Get in touch with PASKAL who leads the efforts from Midwest(Minnesota). He should be able to point you to the right person.

Andrew Sullivan, uber-blogger and one of the country's most influential political pundits warns that our paralyzed immigration system is at a point where it is harming our economic security: The legal immigration system - the same one that has kept me in limbo for a quarter of a century - is reaching a breaking point. Skilled immigrants are returning home to the more fertile opportunities in China and India because America makes it almost impossible for talented immigrants to move here: "What was a trickle has become a flood," says Duke University's Vivek Wadhwa, who studies reverse immigration. Wadhwa projects...

Now that the economy is in the toilet, it looks like people in H-1B will have to pay for it.
An ignorant group of people don't understand that the world has now changed. They can kick out all the H-1Bs or shut-down the whole H-1B category, but it won't make the U.S. any better. The companies will just start opening offices offshore and more jobs will be lost.
I am just awfully frustrated to see the fact that whenever something goes wrong in this country, the legal immigrant community will have to pay the price.

I am kind of in the same situation...But, I don't know if the status means what it says.
But, I got the status change in Jul 2008 saying that
'the post office returned the notice we last sent you on this case I-485 application to register permanent residence or to adjust status as undeliverable. This may have serious effects on processing this case....'
The very next day I got this case status change saying that..
'We mailed document to the address we have on file, You should receive the new document within 30 days.....'
I took an InfoPass appointment and explained to them the case status emails. I also told them that I didn't get my biometrics notice. They asked me if priority date is current..I said NO and they verified too. So, they took the "document mailed" as the biometrics notice document and took my biometrics. I never bothered about that since then....
But, with new system change it shows as 'Document Processing & Oath ceremony'. So I am not sure what the original case status changes emails were about...and take the status 'Document processing and Oath ceremony' seriously.
Thanks in advance.

Now because all embassies and consulates required to use PIMS to verify your H1B status... sometimes takes several weeks to get the passport stamped. In my case takes 3 weeks after interview to get my passport back (embassy at Lima, Peru).
So beware of the timing
I just bring a copy of my wife H1B approval and copy of lasts taxes ... just in case

Over 500 Indian guest workers sue US company for human trafficking - The Times of India (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nri/news/Over-500-Indian-guest-workers-sue-US-company-for-human-trafficking/articleshow/7548222.cms)
HOUSTON: Lawyers for a group of Indian guest workers, trafficked to the US from India to work in shipyards after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, have sued an American company, Signal International, along with its co-conspirators and other entities for human trafficking and racketeering.
If class status is granted, the lawsuit could be the largest human trafficking case in US history, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has said in a statement.
Workers were allegedly lured here with dishonest assurances of becoming lawful permanent US residents, the statement said.
The ACLU joined a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of over 500 guest workers from India charging that the workers were trafficked into the US through the federal government's H-2B guest worker programme with dishonest assurances of becoming lawful permanent US residents and subjected to squalid living conditions, fraudulent payment practises, and threats of serious harm upon their arrival.
The complaint alleges that recruiting agents hired by the marine industry company Signal International held the guest workers' passports and visas, coerced them into paying extraordinary fees for recruitment, immigration processing and travel, and threatened the workers with serious legal and physical harm if they did not work under the Signal-restricted guest worker visa.
The complaint also alleges that once in the US, the men were required to live in Signal's guarded, over crowded labour camps, subjected to psychological abuse and defrauded out of adequate payment for their work.
The ACLU charges that the federal government has fallen short of its responsibility to protect the rights of guest workers in this country.
According to the lawsuit, the treatment of the workers violates the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (TVPA) and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act (RICO).
In addition to the federal court litigation, in partnership with the ACLU, the workers have testified before the UN special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, the UN special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, and senior staff at the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Signal, a marine and fabrication company with shipyards in Mississippi, Texas and Alabama, is a subcontractor for several major multinational companies.

Guys,
It is always better to carry AP, in case if no AP, then No need to worry if it is a small duration since the GC is approved.
Even one can enter on valid H1 VISA when his/her own GC is approved as long as the duration between the GC approval and the date of Entry in USA is not too big. couple of weeks of duration is also fine.
I have confirmed this back in 2004 with couple of attorneys including Rajiv Khanna (ImmigationPortal.com).

Nothing written in stone but from anecdotal evidence.. NO

Hello
I am working on a L1 B Blanket Visa since the past 3 years. My visa is expiring on 11/18/08 and my employer encourages me to apply for a fresh petition from India rather than apply for an extension here due to the no. of cases denied. My wife is presently employed through EAD which expires the same date.
Is there any way that she can retain her employment while we both get our VISA stamped a month before my current VISA expiry date from India ? She might not get 2 months leave without pay which is the usual processing time for a re-extension of EAD considering we both arrive in US after getting a new VISA in the first week of November 2008. Please advise.
I don't see the gain. Although a fresh L petition has better chance of approval, you still have to get a visa approved, which may get rejected.
Given your wife's situation of EAD, you are better off applying for an extension here. They will not reject an application as long it meets all the requirements.

Helllo Experts,
Here is my Case:
Have 4 yrs of work experience and changed 3 employers in the past.
1 st employer: Worked as a Programmer Analyst for 6 months
2nd employer: Worked as Sr.Software Engineer for1.6 years
3rd Employer: Worked as Sr.Software Engineer for 2 years
Under unexpected circumstances, 2nd employer filed my H1 for a senior level even when I have only 2.5 yrs of experience.
I am trying to change job and look for a prospective employer who would file my labor/GC immediately.
The 4rth employer is willing to my GC but the Job designation will be Software Engineer.
Can you please advise if there would be any negative impact on my GC process if I take a step down in my title.
I liked the organization, work environment and all I am concerned now is about any RFC's for the different Job Titles I had so far.
I am in a very confused state and Please advise me as I need to respond for the Job offer.
I sincerely appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi

If you indeed resign, there can be trouble..."luck factor" might pay a role.
But, I'm wondering why would you want to resign ? As long as your employer is a reasonably big one and has HR rules, you might be able to take FMLA...I think that can go for as long as 6 months. You will not get paid for a lot of it (depending on you leave balances). But, you will remain employed. And, you can work with your HR and legal folks to arrange a better alternative than resign.
Now, if your employer is a small place, then its all "it depends" thing...
Good luck...see to it that you don't extreme measures unless absolutely needed.
