I saw some postings saying that USCIS can assume the name check is done and is OK if FBI does not get back in 6 months and thats how they managed to approve all those cases in June, is this correct?

This might come as a surprise to some of you, but someone needs to say it out loud. GET A LIFE FOLKS!!!! there is more to life then EB, GC and all. it seem all we desi's can think of is how to get a green card so we can live here with peace and never have to worry bout getting laid off or anything.
Few points:
1) having gc is a privilege not a right.
2) US has every right to choose whom they want to have in their country.
3) If getting PR or citizenship of a western country is the goal there are many countries which have a fair point based system.
4) Considering the number of fraud's committed by Indian body shoppers and people who use them, i am not surprised USCIS is extra careful when it comes to Indian applications. Anyone who got his wife with no exp with software dev an h1b visa from some cheat in Jersey knows what i am talking bout . My freind got his wife an H1 after showing she knew software testing even though her major was fine arts and all she was good at was web surfing :)
5) have a back up. i came here in 2001 as student and have seen it all. I am on h1b since 2004. i knew we have too many people whose sole aim in life is a American GC. to avoid becoming one of those who check processing dates first thing in morning, i applied for Canadian PR, got it in 8 months and i am not even gonna bother applying for labor, i-140 and all those precious life controlling documents.
Wake up friends, you have options. Don't let your life depend on you application status.

USCIS has a format which needs to be followed to get a GC. We all know that how much they follow the format/procedure and how much they screw people from India/China (mostly Indians)
There is no set goal to be just in a WESTERN Country but there is an option to be in US (or for argument UK AUS etc) but that is an option. No one forces us to be here or to be anywhere.........Arn't we here by choice?
I am now sick of hearing about the fraud on h1b. If 20 people out of 100 are like bad apples does that gives USCIS the right to screw people from that country for GC. What is the relationship here? Why all Indians have to suffer due to some pathetic people? Why do we GENERALISE such things?
Not defending any of those people but if someone KNOWS S/W testing and that person is skilled in it why cant that person work? Just the damn degree does not gives anything, one needs real work knowledge.
Could write more but I guess I m done with this post....

I am trying to get the original question info from him. Probably he will read the thread and answer it.
"EB Applications pending from India" is very vague, and most probably is not what we are looking for.
USCIS has indicated earlier that they don't know chargeability country until application is ready for approval, which may be true although we didn't want to believe this. Most likely until 485 application is approved birth country is not written anywhere other than the paper application. In most 485 application cases (family, EB and others), chargeability country is a just a matter of recording at approval time. At final approval time, when birth country is found to be retrogressed, application goes back to pending (or cold storage), but ready to approve. This also explains why cutoff dates have to rely purely on guess work, and move back and forth.
For proper handling of cases for retrogressed countries, USCIS/DOS really have no workable method in place.

I have been looking at opportunities elsewhere. However, in my field (not IT related), US is still a very good destination and my skills are also in demand in US and elsewhere. My home country, however, still lacks the basic infrastructure needed for me consider that as an option.
Nonetheless, as I said, if things don't improve by 2009, 2010 then I will be forced to consider other options such as australia/europe/canada. But I dont think I agree to "Quit America" just to prove a point. I will do what I think is best for my career and future; as the congress must do what they think is best for America's future. If given the chance, I will contribute to the continued success of this nation... else will move where my skills are in demand.
Meanwhile, get invoved in state chapters to convince congressmen about our plight, and let them decide about the country's future.

You probably can't ask to stop portability from EB3 to EB2 or EB2 to EB1. But you can ask for if filers from EB3 goes to EB2, they can't keep the PD from EB3 but get a new PD for the date USCIS process their EB2 application.
That will make people really think if that is worthy to do so. Otherwise every EB-3 filer will want to file again for EB-2 if they can.
You can ask all you want about not allowing porting from EB3 to EB2 or not letting keep the priority date in doing so. IV is not going to endorse it. Reality is job done by EB2 or EB3 especially in IT is very much alike.
Moving from EB3 to EB2 is for worthy cause of getting GC faster in legitimate and ethical way.

Like many other technology forums, you need to be a paid member to see any premium content, else only part of the message is visible...that makes every one a paid member...we can have a similar setup to see a senior member post...that way every post from a senior members will generate revenue and in turn more money for lobbying!
Eg: www.dsxchange.com, this site used to be a free site a couple of year ago; as the content grows members too soared in no time. Now, it is mandatory to pay yearly to read and ask/reply seniors members posts, else u will only read junior member posts.
We are 25k strong! Just to remind, Microsoft bought hotmail paying millions not for the lousy hotmail software, it is for the huge members that has already signed up by then.
In our case we have to make things mandatory for obvious reasons. I strongly think the word donation/contribution doesn’t work, if it could have worked we wouldn’t have this discussion after so many requests. It is time to make things mandatory, please :(.

Hello:
I am working on EAD for company B. Company B filed H1 transfer for me before May 2007. I heard that You can transfer you H1 and EAD both with new company but I did not aware about this rule, I started working on EAD. Is it possible to go back on H1 which company B filed? I have not yet used AP for travelling abroad.
Regards,
AFAIK, once you work on EAD, you can not be back on H1B. Please check this with your lawyer.
However what I do not know, and what my lawyer also could not answer till this point is, if after travelling abroad using AP, can one transfer same H1 to a new employer? I know it is possible to continue working on H1 with the same employer. But what if one need H1 transfer?

So do you think they are going after AC21 folks as a scapegoat? I spoke to few people on this including lawyers and they say that "denials on 485" when 140 gets revoked is a common thing and usually the officer who issues the denial letter does not check and verify to see other details. Thats why they have to go through the MTR process.
That was the case when uscis would send straight denial and then person would do mtr with ac21.
the OP and the particular case I am talking about; they responded to the notice of intent to deny (NOID specifcally said person may be elgiible for ac21 and to give job letter, etc.); however they denied it after the response was sent. It would be different story if they denied due to job mismatching. However, that was not the case. They denied stating the 140 was revoked. Basically, this is a new type of denial and may be a shift in how uscis is doing things.
I spoke to candidate earlier and he talked to the original 140 company. They told him that their h-1b's aren't getting approved (common issue right now with vermont service center for just about everyone) and that in the clean up they revoked almost 70 I-140's for people who had left. He doesn't know if it was in response to an I-140 query or not (uscis adds up cases frequently in rfe's on the 140). When companies revoke 140 to a RFE; USCIS could be making a determination that the 140's company is now revoking were approved iun error and people are not eligible for ac21. Now; if this was the case; uscis officer should have put this in the denial but they did not.
I'll keep everyone posted of what happens to this case.

The GC system is entirely in our favor. It really does not benefit America in any significant way.
nope, if the alternative to the GC system is outsourcing (as you yourself mentioned) all the profits go to big corporations and our salaries are spent in India. The corporations are notorious for avoiding taxes so teh government gets nothing. By making us stay here longer (on H1 or GC) we end up spending our salaries here, paying taxes, paying social security, paying medicare.
65K H1-Bs earning 70k a year is 4.5 billion dollars. 140K new GC holders each year earning the same comes out to 10 billion dollars. Out of that taxes alone are an easy couple of billion or more dollars. Then take into account the side-effect (we buy cars, we buy appliances, we rent apartments) and the contributions we make to this economy are a lot.
And to say that we are stealing jobs is also inaccurate. There is nothing called stealing-a-job. In general every job is worth how much someone is willing to be paid to do it. If an American citizen wants 100K and the GC holder wants 90K and the H1-B visa guy wants 80K (and all of them are going to work in the same city and same office) the job is worth 80K. The H1-B visa holder is not stealing a job. The days of knowing HTML tags and commanding a salary of 100K a year (1999-2000) are long gone and now replaced by 'that kind of work gets done in India or Ukraine for 10k a year'. Looking at the resumes we got in response to job ads placed in the last 3 companies I worked for, there are simply not enough qualified americans interested. Thats a fact. So the IT sector needs help from abroad to get the job done. They can either send the work over, or bring the people here. Bringing the people here also benefits the rest of the economy.

UN,
Have there been any updates on this case that you are at liberty to share?
Thanks in advance.
Ok, lets not confuse this case with Ability to pay and get worried about that stuff. I spoke to another person who contacted me and is having the same issue. His 140 was revoked 2 years back and at that time he got a NOID and responded in a timely manner and he was fine. Now he has a denial on 485 stating that his 140 was revoked 2 years back.
This person is neither desi nor did he worked for desi consulting company or had ability to pay issues and has applied for MTR and waiting.
All that float on internet is "indivisdual prespectives" and "interpretations". So do not think too much about it.
AC21 guidelines are clear - you can refer to them on DHS website, Ombudsman's page, USCIS website etc....
From what I have been seeing and as I did a lot of research and continue to do, 140 revocation and 485 denial does have a pattern and this seems to be a procedural or a serious training issue.
Thats why IV core suggests that we have to collectively gettogether and fix this issue and any other issue.

Did you have a personal experience about pre-existing conditions getting covered? Or do you personally know anyone who got covered for pre-existing conditions? If so, please provide complete details. How much was the total expense? How much did they cover? Was there network negotiated charge? How much time did it talk to get the money back?
If not, there is no point in talking about hypothetical scenarios and hoping that someone would cover.
Absolutely not. The first time I thought about it was after reading post from Shirish in this thread who used it. I was personally never in favor of using Indian company and last couple of times I purchased from IMG(US based) but never used them.
This time again I am hunting for medical insurance for my parents and from based on my initial research I don;t find much benefit in using US based company either. If you know someone who have good experience with US based company in emergency situations then please post it.

High time this bill is passed. Too much fraud in L1s and H1s.Existing H1s dont have jobs and our green cards pending and no hope when it will come. They should really make L1 very very hard because I work in a huge wireless company where they get L1s from companies like TCS and they work 15 hours a day with $25 billing rate, because of which all contractors and permenant workes (on H1, GC, EAD etc) are being laid off
I wish this bill passes with full effect
